Chapter 829: Northwest Front
The early winter has only passed half a month.
The news of the fall of two-thirds of the empire reached the West.
The news caused an uproar.
Because in their previous assertion, the Jialan Empire must not take the initiative to provoke a war at this time.
Once the war is not over before the end of the spring of the next year, it means that the Jialan Kingdom will be defeated without a fight, and at that time, under their attack, it is estimated that even the defending army will not be able to send it.
So in their eyes, Vega's attack on the Nolan Empire was a self-defeating battle.
It was supposed to be like this.
But the current situation was beyond their expectations, because the speed of the Jialan Kingdom was too fast, so fast that it was less than half a month, and it took 2/5 of the country's territory, and also led the army into the central region of the empire.
Even......
The airspace of the Immortal City has also been subjected to air raids.
If it continues to develop at this rate, it is entirely possible for the Jialan Kingdom to take the empire before the end of spring and unify the entire eastern territory, and then the situation will become a war between the East and the West, rather than the encirclement and suppression of the Jialan Kingdom by the World Alliance.
Gunti City, Freedom Alliance, Holy Dragon Country, Principality of Baya......
This series of forces could no longer gloat, and their faces were filled with intense uneasiness.
Now they very much want to send troops immediately to help the Nuolan Empire resist the attack of the Jialan Empire, because they also need to use the empire as a springboard, once there is no empire, the Jialan Mountains will become the natural defense line of the Jialan Empire.
There is no Nuolan Empire as a springboard.
Just crossing the Jialan Mountain Range, I am afraid that it will be blocked by the Jialan Country, and before the front foot has stepped into the east, it will first lose more than half of the army before it is further qualified to attack the Jialan Empire.
But what made them desperate was that the support could no longer be done.
Because the snow had frozen over the Jialan Mountains, which blocked the east and west, it was almost impossible for a large army to cross the mountains.
Other words.
The only thing they could do now was to wait and see what happened, and watch the war between the Empire and the Jialan Kingdom.
In fact, the Western countries are not desperate to the point of death.
Because 2/5 of the empire's territory within fifteen days, in the final analysis, it was the surprise of the Jialan army, and it was very difficult to enter the central part of the country when the empire strengthened its defenses.
Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.
After all, the empire has a large number of troops and officers, and it must not be a problem to hold on for four or five months, right?
The idea has just been settled.
Grand Duke Baya almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, because the soldiers brought the latest informationβ
The Nolan Empire has announced that it will take on the battle of revenge!
"What the hell is Eldir thinking?!"
Grand Duke Baya could not hide his anger: "At this stage, shouldn't the most important thing to do should be to send troops to stick to the central part? As long as they concentrate on defense, it is impossible for Jialan Country to find a breakthrough, and as soon as the ice and snow melt in the coming year, the good days of Jialan Country will come to an end." β
"Your Majesty, an empire is an empire after all. β
Aiden Gary saw the key at a glance: "The empire is different from us, we can not have glory and dignity, because we are born humble, but the empire is built on war. In the past, once they abandoned their glory and dignity, they would be reduced from a big country to a third-rate country, and it was impossible for them to abandon their arrogant souls. β
"In short. β
Aiden Gary hit the nail on the head and said: "This war must be fought in the empire, in order to regain the confidence of the people, and for the country to have the cohesion to continue to fight, glory and dignity, they absolutely cannot afford to lose." β
"Is this what the great powers are carrying?"
Archduke Baya understood the empire's decision a little.
Being bullied by the enemy, once you choose to continue to forbear, then it will make the people lose confidence and the army lose morale, and even if the Western countries destroy the Jialan country, it will be difficult for the empire to regain this glory and dignity.
Without these two things, the empire would not be eligible for supremacy.
Therefore, in order to restore the confidence of the whole country, Erdir finally made this decision, but also did not want the West to set foot in the East in the coming year, and take the opportunity to occupy the north and east after defeating the Jialan Kingdom and not return.
And this is exactly what Haussmann planned.
The reason why he sacrificed an air force was not to trample on the dignity and glory of the empire, and force the empire to take the initiative to start a war, instead of cowering in the center and playing a protracted war with them.
Haussmann's move is a conspiracy.
Use an air force to give the empire a war letter openly, and Erdir has to fight for the sake of the whole country.
Vega, who got the letter, sighed secretly and picked up the treasure.
This Haussman's understanding of the empire is so deep that even he is ashamed of himself, this series of actions is almost fist-to-flesh, and the empire is powerless to parry, and now the empire is completely passive, and only those who know the bone marrow of the empire can choke the other party's lifeblood at once.
So don't look at the Imperial Army.
In terms of quantity and quality, I'm afraid three times as much as Haussmann's army.
But in fact, those people in the empire have been led by the nose by Haussmann, and they have not even taken the slightest initiative.
Most importantly.
The empire thought that the three-plate axe of Jialan Country had been played, but it didn't know that the next thing was the real meal.
Hold the letter.
Vega came to the command headquarters and gave three orders.
He glanced at the crowd and ordered, "First, inform the Meru Scimitar of the United Kingdom of the Hundred Clans to start immediately. β
"Second. β
"The 23rd Air Corps set out overnight to assist the Meru Patriarch in taking the northwest city of Lacazia, and the 25th Air Corps carried 30,000 air marines and the 24th Air Corps was responsible for escorting the raid on the second major city of war in the northwest. β
"Third. β
Vega issued the last order: "The 19th Army of the Jialan Empire's Eternal Hope City, except for the 7th Division for city defense, the other troops have officially set foot on the northwest border, and our goal is the City of War!"
"For victory!"
A group of officers took the oath to Vega.
Several orders from Vega were too emotional for them.
Although the United Kingdom has fallen, as officers of the Old Kingdom, they have dreamed of setting foot in the Nolan Empire, and now the opportunity has finally come. The fall of the Northern and Eastern Fronts of the Empire in fifteen days gave them hope of victory.
For them.
This is a real holy war.
Equally.
This war was also the most important war for Meru Machete.
As long as this war can be won, the name of the United Kingdom of the Hundred Tribes will be officially established, which is the wish of the major tribes of the Hundred Tribes for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and this wish will finally be fulfilled in his generation.
"Summons the ministries, the plan begins. β
With a wave of his hand, Meru Machete announced the start of the plan to conquer the northwestern city of Lacassia.
