Chapter 34: Pizarro from China

When the eldest prince Sochar looked at the imperial capital with flames and smoke, his face was full of ambition. More than 200 kilometers away, on the Arnus hills, there is also a group of PLA intelligence officers wearing camouflage uniforms, analyzing this low-tech war that is lagging behind the world through satellite photos and drone aerial images. These intelligence materials were then sent to the desk of the mayor's office for the reference of the mayor and the captain of the chengguan brigade.

“…… It seems that the Imperial Civil War is fought fiercely! The largest cities on the continent of Farmatt were almost burned to the ground. ”

Mayor Wang Meiling, who took office as a new official, looked at the battlefield images and photos on the computer screen, and at the same time used the video chat software with a small window to ask the intelligence analysts opposite, "...... According to your calculations, which side has a better chance of winning this war? ”

“…… This one...... Although we can detect many signs of military movements and even estimate the approximate number and equipment of these troops with the help of satellites and drones, we cannot figure out who these forces support...... So it's really hard to assess......"

Well, real war is not a computer strategy game after all, and not only is it often difficult for commanders on the battlefield to see the panorama of the battle situation: in the era of no satellites, there will be no real-time 45-degree bird's-eye view of the battlefield for you, so once the master player of the strategy game becomes a commander without a comprehensive perspective, he will often command an avalanche of levels and do all kinds of unbelievable stupid things (there were instances in the early days of the Syrian civil war, and some rabble rebels had zero military experience, So he actually elected the front line commander who played the best strategy game, and let the master of the CS shooting game be the sniper, and below was a group of scrap wood militants who lacked the concept of obedience and discipline, and were beaten by the government forces with a very small number of people).

Even Wang Qiu, who has satellites and drones and can really open a "God's perspective", is difficult to understand the intricate relationship between various political forces within the empire, and they also have a bit of a foggy feeling about the overall war situation today This is not a clear confrontation between the two countries, but a civil war full of betrayal, defection, outside neutrality and wall-to-wall grass. Even the two princes, Diapo and Sochal, who are vying for the throne, may not be able to accurately grasp how many die-hard supporters they have. As for outsiders, it goes without saying.

“…… Actually, there is no need to scout too carefully about some things, in short, no matter who wins or loses this civil war, we will face a disintegrating otherworldly empire, and such good news is enough! ”

Wang Qiu pursed his lips disapprenously, "...... Speaking of which, it really feels a bit like Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire in South America......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the Spanish conquest of the Americas, the two most legendary great conquerors were Cortés, who conquered the Aztec Empire, and Pizarro, who conquered the Inca Empire.

And among these two Spanish conquistadors, who were relatives of each other, and the Aztec Empire conquered by Cortés, whose journey was even more thrilling with Pizarro, although it seemed brutal and bloodthirsty, fierce and aggressive, it was actually just a big city-state, and the real territory was only the size of a palm, surrounded by old enemies of the Aztecs and old enemies who were not convinced. With a clear grasp of the details and diplomacy, the Spanish expedition could easily raise a large Confederate Indian army on the spot, fight the Aztecs, and even if they lost a few times, they could still make a comeback.

Pizarro, however, faced the Inca Empire, a truly centralized empire that ruled over a vast territory of 3 million square kilometers. As an unfamiliar outsider, the outnumbered Pizarro was almost like a small group of pirates who invaded the Ming Empire on the territory of the Inca Empire.

However, with incredible luck and arrogant courage, Pizarro relied on his more than 200 men and 50 horses to win every battle from the beginning to the end, annihilating hundreds of thousands of Inca troops and conquering this empire with a population of 12 million!

The reason why such a small team under Pizarro was able to achieve such an incredible military miracle without logistics, reinforcements and lack of intelligence is that there was a serious problem within the Inca Empire Due to the smallpox virus brought by the Europeans, the Inca Empire broke out before a great plague, which was no less tragic than the Black Death in Europe. Immediately afterwards, due to the death of the old emperor in the smallpox plague, the two princes fought for the throne, and a protracted and tragic civil war broke out. In the end, the little prince, who had foreign blood, led the rebels to defeat the legitimate successor of the Inca Empire. In retaliation and anger, the new emperor carried out a massacre of the capital city of Cusco: all nobles and officials with royal blood, anyone who could threaten the new emperor in some way, as well as their cronies, servants and slaves, were executed by the rebels

As a result, the entire central government, on which the Inca Empire depended, was largely wiped out by the plague and the massacre, and most of the country was plunged into unprecedented chaos. The area was also full of banditry, fires, tribal chieftains, and bustling cities in ruinsWhen Pizarro and his expedition entered the Inca Empire, the empire had been almost destroyed by the Incas themselves.

Of course, Pizarro met with more good fortune, for example, the new emperor Atawapa was unbelievably stupid, first sent someone to act as a guide and provide food, and took the initiative to invite Pizarro to his station, and then left the protection of tens of thousands of troops, stepped into Pizarro's camp without weapons, and became his prisoner and meat ticket...... However, if Pizarro is not facing an Inca Empire that has completely collapsed in the civil war and even the members of the imperial family who are qualified to succeed to the throne have been almost slaughtered, then even if the above miracle still happens, in the face of a large empire that is still intact, he can only take the opportunity to loot and extort a ransom like the Mongols who captured the Ming Emperor in the "Tumubao Incident", and then he can only leave in disgrace, and he may not be able to return safely After all, there are too few people under his command.

To get back to the point, the Chinese who have now stepped into the fantasy world through the "gate" are also fortunate to meet an empire that fell apart in the civil war, not the crazy regime that is soft and hard, aggressive, and belligerent in the original book of "Fantasy Self-Defense Force" (much like the old Japanese empire at the end of the period, even if the whole world is enemy and the atomic bomb is imminent, it will not surrender). In this way, it gives the relevant departments the opportunity and space to sow discord, leverage strength, and divide and disintegrate, and may be able to gain a firm foothold on the Falmatt continent at a relatively small cost.

Fortunately, Wang Qiu's higher-level departments, although they are quite shrunken in the real world, which makes people feel guilty when they see it, but when they come to the other world, no matter how much they toss, they are basically not responsible, but they do not lack the courage to act boldly After a preliminary analysis of the situation of the imperial civil war and the public situation in the nearby area, the central government sent new instructions, asking Wang Qiu to immediately organize an armed march with the strongest possible lineup to Itarica, which is more than a hundred kilometers away in the northwest, to face the indigenous rulers of the other worldIn short, it is the "gunboat diplomacy" carried out by the European powers in the third world of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and this is how the Qing Dynasty was knocked on the door of the country. And today's modern Chinese are also ready to try to paint cats and tigers to see if they can get a semi-colony and dumping market in another world.

As a result, Wang Qiu, the captain of the urban management brigade who took office, ushered in his first expedition in this fantasy world on the second day of his inauguration.

Then, after another three days, through some racking of brains and moving around, Comrade Wang Qiu was finally ready to stop, gathered a team of braving martial arts, and drove to Itarica City with high spirits...... Although the actual combat effectiveness of this team is probably a little doubtful, in terms of aura and momentum, it is definitely more than a hundred times more than Pizarro's poor two hundred men and fifty horses! In Wang Qiu's view, even some small third-world countries on the modern earth will be scared to death once they see the battle of these "Pizarro from China", let alone the short-sighted and ignorant natives in this backward society on the semi-slave and semi-feudal Fermat continent.

All in all, four and a half months after the "door" was opened on the hills of Arnous, the invaders from Earth finally made their first official contact with the indigenous regimes of this world, of course, in a not very friendly way......
