268 Cross-river crossing
For several days from the 27th to the 31st, Qin Xiaobai, Shenwang and other important generals of the Zhoushui Alliance learned about the detailed situation in key walled cities near the Sino-Russian border in Heilongjiang, such as "Fuyuan Walled City and Hulin Walled City", and refined their operational ideas.
Because the specific command of the national war was in the hands of Da Sima Leyi, Qin Xiaobai did not interfere in the specific combat deployment on the front line, at most he only gave some suggestions.
The ten newly formed player legions of more than one million troops, 6 of which were deployed in place, were stationed in the first-line walled cities of Heilongjiang.
Qin Xiaobai's main task is to ensure the progress of military engineering in Heilongjiang, and to sell the "ordnance, medicine" and other military supplies produced by the Zhoushui Alliance to each player legion, so as to ensure that there is no shortage of combat materials for the player army of Yan Kingdom. Stimulating the consumption of military supplies in the Yan State was originally one of the reasons for the national war.
The players of the Russian Far Eastern Principalities were very calm, and although they saw the Chinese army on the other side of the river preparing the tools to cross the river, they were indifferent and continued to make their own preparations - building a large number of fortifications, preparing more ordnance and arrows.
The most important thing is that the various walled cities of the Russian Far Eastern Principality continue to transport large quantities of raw materials and manufactured goods from the sea to the Japanese islands, hoping that Japanese players can open up a second war battlefield from the Korean Peninsula in the shortest possible time, delay the pace of Chinese players' attack on the Russian Far Eastern Principality, and reduce their pressure.
One of the important reasons why the Russian players did not attack first was to give the Japanese players more time to prepare militarily. Of course, this is only a hope, and players in the Russian Far East cannot be sure whether Japanese players will abide by the agreement and march into Korea.
On August 1, King Yan received a letter of rejection from the Grand Duke of the Russian Far East. Morning. After the court council, he officially declared war on the Russian Far East principality as the king of Yan.
"World System Announcement: Yan State, one of the nine princes of the Zhou Dynasty. Officially opened a national war against the Far Eastern Principalities, one of the seven Russian principalities. During the war, both sides were allowed to occupy the enemy's land and walled cities without restrictions, and plunder and capture the population. Until one side surrenders. ”
This national war announcement is open to players all over the world, and online players around the world received this amazing news almost at the same time. As long as players who know a little about geopolitics know, the competition between Chinese players and Russian players for hegemony in Northeast Asia has officially begun. The outcome of this battle will determine the pattern of Northeast Asia
Because it is still the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The top-scale war that the player can do is a regional war for supremacy, not a world war. The war between China and Russia in the Far East is obviously a regional hegemony.
Players around the world were in an uproar, with players in Europe and North America getting excited. Although this battle has nothing to do with them, it is impossible for them to intervene in this war. But to be able to see Chinese players and Russian players go to war. They're absolutely willing to pay $10 for tickets to see the show. Even if you watch American war blockbusters, I am afraid that there are no such hot and tragic war scenes.
Players in small Asian countries such as Vietnam and Malaysia are also very excited, and a battle for supremacy that is not far from their side has begun. They are somewhat eager to try, but unfortunately they weigh their own strength and don't have the capital to mix.
In the Northeast Asian theater, players from only five countries can participate in the war: China, Russia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. Sino-Russian war. Inevitably, it will affect players from other three countries. Yan and the Russian Far Eastern Principalities have officially declared war. Korea and Japan also officially declared war, while the other sides did not declare war.
At the same time that the Yan Kingdom of China declared war on Russia. Japan's Combined Naval Fleet consisting of more than 3,000 warships on the islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, and Shikoku has crossed the sea and appeared around Kyushu Island, frantically counterattacking the millions of Korean players on the island. The Japanese player army fought extremely fiercely, trying to wipe out the million 6th Army in one fell swoop, and kill more than 1,800 South Korean naval fleets stationed on Tsushima Island, and counterattack the Korean mainland.
Once the Japanese players drove all the Korean* teams on the island of Kyushu out into the sea, it was the beginning of the Japanese army's official counterattack on Korea. It also means that the national war between South Korea and Japan has been completely reversed, from South Korea attacking Japan and defending Japan to Japan attacking and South Korea.
At this most critical moment, the player organizations of the Yan Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, and the Wu Kingdom of China reached an alliance agreement with the Korean player organization at the same time. Chinese players began to provide unlimited support to Korean players, and Korean players sold whatever they wanted to buy.
In addition, the Bohai Fleet, the Qingdao Fleet, and the Zhoushan Fleet jointly dispatched 1,000 warships of the heavy fighting ship or higher to Jeju Island in South Korea to suppress the South Korean Navy's position, provide protection, and deter the Japanese naval fleet. In the event of the defeat of the South Korean naval fleet, the Chinese player fleet can provide the most urgent protection against a sudden and total rout on the part of the South Korean side.
The envoys of the Zhoushui Alliance arrived in Korea and persuaded the North Korean and South Korean players to temporarily reach a truce and enter the Korea-Japan War. The North Korean players sent 6 armies of 500,000 and 500 naval ships to the island of Kyushu. After all, this battle is not only a war between Korean players and Japanese players, but also a war between the entire Korean Peninsula and Japanese islands. Once South Korea is defeated, North Korea will also be uncomfortable. Players from the two Koreas put aside their internal conflicts for the time being and engage in joint foreign operations.
On the battlefield in Northeast Asia, two camps have vaguely formed.
An alliance between China, North Korea, and South Korea against the alliance of Russia and Japan.
From the perspective of the strength of the two sides, China has the three major vassal states of Yan, Qi and Wu, and its economic strength and population strength are at its peak. Although South Korea and North Korea are slightly inferior, they also have a certain combat strength.
On the Russian side, the principalities of the Far East and other Siberian principalities were strong, economically strong but demographically weak. Japan, on the other hand, has a strong population but a weak economy.
The Chinese camp is a solid winner, while the Russian side is a step lower.
On the morning of August 1, King Yan officially announced the start of the national war. The great Sima Leyi immediately set up a military mission for an all-out attack. The leaders of the ten major armies, as well as many private player armies, went directly to the front line of the battlefield to start the war after receiving specific military tasks.
In the entire national war, Yan actually had only two important strategic objectives: "the capital of the Russian Far East and the central walled city - Khabarovsk Castle" and "the first military port in the Far East - Vladivostok Castle".
After the attack on the Khabarovsk Castle, the Russian player lost one of the most important strongholds in the Far East, and the entire Russian Far Eastern Principality was equivalent to being pierced through the heart at once. Even if he didn't die immediately, he would only have convulsions and lingering breath.
Vladivostok Castle, the first military port in the Far East, is Russia's only port to the sea in East Asia and the only bridge to establish contact with Japan. All raw materials and goods have to be loaded here before they can be transported to Japan. Vladivostok was lost, and the economic and military alliance between Russia and Japan existed in name only. Russia could no longer send any supplies to Japan to help make Japan's military stronger.
Compared to these two military objectives, the other offensive objectives are insignificant.
With the military talent of the great Sima Leyi and the strategic vision of Qin Xiaobai, he did not hesitate to directly point to these two military goals. The vast majority of military deployments are aimed at these two military objectives.
However, there is a clear disagreement between them in the order in which to attack these two targets. Le Yi thought that Khabarovsk should be taken first, but Qin Xiaobai advocated fighting Vladivostok first. This disagreement is not due to a gap in their military capabilities, but because of some other inconvenient quotes.
For Da Sima Le Yi, if Khabarovsk is taken, then half of the tasks of the Sino-Russian war will be completed, and the rest can be fought slowly. If the Grand Duke of Russia in the castle of Khabarovsk could be captured, then everything would be even more perfect.
But for Qin Xiaobai, Vladivostok is the most critical point in undermining the Russian-Japanese alliance. Cutting off the supplies that Russia has transported to Japan, even if the Japanese players jump into the sky in a hurry, they can't change their weak strength. Japanese players did not have enough resources to support a long Korea-Japan war. This move can significantly ease military pressure in the direction of the Korean Peninsula and break up the Russian-Japanese alliance. Without the Russian-Japanese alliance, a separate Russian Far Eastern principality and a separate Japan would not be afraid and could easily be taken away.
After the collapse of the Russian-Japanese alliance, the Khabarovsk Castle can be fought slowly -- the longer the fighting, the better the arms business of the Zhoushui Alliance. Otherwise, as soon as the Sino-Russian war ends, who will the arms produced by the Zhoushui Alliance be sold to?
After taking Vladivostok, the Sino-Russian war could not be easily ended until the next fire point was found.
Qin Xiaobai muttered secretly, he was like a mirror in his heart, but he was not confused at all. He, a professional arms dealer, did not work for nothing. A batch of more than 1,000 heavy siege equipment produced in Tianjin, of which 300 were used to attack the Khabarovsk Castle, while the remaining nearly 700 or so were transported to attack the Vladivostok Castle.
August 1.
A full-scale war broke out on the border of Heilongjiang between China and Russia, and under the leadership of Chinese players, the overwhelming and dense NPC army crossed the river to attack in boats and boats. Thousands of kilometers of river are almost everywhere the armies of the players of the two countries, with tens of thousands of troops in large groups and hundreds of people in small groups. The Russian Far Eastern Principality has no depth, and across the river is an important walled stronghold, and near each walled city is a war zone where the armies of the two countries clash.
