Chapter 158: Prelude to the Battle of Los Angeles
Two years?
What about the ghosts?!
What was the total population of the Han Empire?
If the battle is really lost, two years later, the Han Empire will also be in ruins!
When the time comes, how much aid you British give, the Han Empire is destined to become a complete little brother!
The foundation of the Han Empire is very thin, once it is destroyed, it is difficult to recover, even if it survives with the help of the British, with the temperament of the British, Zhao Dutian will definitely become a veritable puppet emperor!
The British are planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight this time!
However, what if the Han Empire wins?
Hehehe......
Zhao Dutian was mentally slandered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just 10,000 French soldiers and an indefinite number of second-line troops in the Spanish colonies, so many people want to overthrow the rule of the Han Empire?
It seems that the current King of France, Louis XV, has a much worse vision than his dead father Louis XIV!
Although he is unhappy with the British government's approach, if he thinks about it from another perspective, Zhao Dutian will definitely make this kind of decision, in the face of national interests, everything is empty!
What's more, although the Han Empire has won a lot of battles, it has not been really taken into account by the European powers from beginning to end, indeed, the European powers are not blind, through the defeat of the Spanish army all the way, they have seen the professionalism of the army of the Han Empire, which is not much different from the standing armies of European countries.
In particular, the Russian Foreign Legion, which only appeared in the Oregon region and rubbed tens of thousands of Spanish militia forces on the ground, made the eyes of European countries shine, and the number of such elite grenadiers that can fight is not many in European countries!
However, no matter how well the army of the Han Empire performs, the fragile industrial system and small population doom the war potential of the Han Empire to be vulnerable!
As long as you don't be knocked down by the Han Empire with one move, it will take a few years, and the elite that the Han Empire can fight will be almost consumed, and the end of Zhao Dutian will come......
Europe is separated from the American colonies by an Atlantic Ocean, no matter how you look at it, if the European powers really start a full-scale war with the Han Empire, it is impossible to be overthrown by one move......
The reason why the European powers did not dare to make a move against the Han Empire was that they were afraid that they would finish the Han Empire, and when the debts were high, the surrounding neighbors would take the opportunity to fall into the well, and the fun would be great!
When the time comes, the benefits that the great power that made the move from the Han Empire will be guaranteed to spit out all of it, and even spit out some additional 'interest'!
Therefore, the safest way to eliminate the Han Empire is for the European powers with interests in the colonies to join forces and besiege the Han Empire.
As for those European countries that have no interests in the Americas, their own strength is not too strong, and naturally it is impossible to make a move against the alliance of great powers that have colonies in the Americas!
It is a pity that the two great European powers with colonial interests in the Americas, Britain and France, are precisely mortal enemies, at least at the present stage!
A small Han empire is obviously not enough for the two sworn enemies to let go of the current conflict of interests, and joining forces is even more of a dream!
Britain has stumbled the French since the War for the Spanish Throne, and the War of the Austrian Succession has taken direct action, so that the French have not gained any benefits, and the North American colonies have lost almost half of their territory!
This is the reason why the French did not dare to start a full-scale war with the Han Empire, the French government knew that borrowing the skin of the Spanish Kingdom, which had a deep blood feud with the Han Empire, to fight a local war, Britain must not be able to be a good person, and even as long as the Han Empire declined on the battlefield, the British would definitely not mind using the French force to completely dismantle the Han Empire!
The British government, which has a small army, uses materials and financial resources to support the weaker side to make profits, and let the soldiers of other countries shed blood, which is too much......
Moreover, the small size of the British Army does not mean that the British Army cannot fight, on the contrary, the small and elite British Army can often face the majority of the enemy with a small number of troops!
Of course, the strong army of Prussia still has to be discounted......
Through the conversation with George Macartney, Zhao Dutian has found out the attitude of the British, fighting is absolutely to fight, and if they win, the British are still the staunchest allies of the Han Empire!
If you lose......
Well, the British are very conservative, they will first see how defeated Zhao Dutian is, if Zhao Dutian still has the strength to fight, and even has the capital to turn the tables, the British envoy will naturally send verbal 'cheering' and support, if Zhao Dutian is defeated to the end, the attitude of the Han Empire will not matter.
Zhao Dutian will become a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip between the British and the French!
Zhao Dutian's family knows his own affairs, he must go all out to fight this battle, the number of troops that the Han Empire can really fight is too small, and he can only rely on decisive victory, not like the European battlefield, which is dominated by a war of attrition!
Independence and dictatorship are often based on the army, and if the main force of the Han Empire is defeated, it will be absolutely disastrous for Zhao Dutian!
It's not that he was worried that the Indians who were used to his rule would rebel, but that Zhao Dutian didn't believe in the fighting power of the Indians at all......
I'm afraid that by that time, the Han Empire will have to rely on guerrilla warfare and small-scale attacks to resist the invaders!
The eyes of the British are bright, as long as they see this situation, they can naturally assess the true reality of the Han Empire, and if Zhao Dutian wants to fight for the same status, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!
Therefore, this battle can only be won and not defeated! The Han Empire is different from the past, the entire empire has completely entered the sight of the European powers, whether it becomes a regional power, can dialogue with the European powers on an equal footing, or becomes a regional puppet, it depends on the outcome of this battle!
The General Staff began to operate at full strength, cabinet meetings were held frequently, and all the energy of the empire began to tilt towards the military aspect, which is the sorrow of a small country.
Even Frederick the Great of Prussia went all out in the War of the Austrian Succession, not to mention the Han Empire, whose population, economy, and industrial strength were far inferior to those of Prussia?
A group of second-line Self-Defense Forces of the Americas replaced Wang Qiming's troops and continued to occupy the Oregon region, where there was not much resistance, and Paprov's men also began to withdraw from Eureka City, and they were going to drive along the West Coast coastline to the Los Angeles Defense Line!
