Qu Bo is very satisfied, it seems that these guys are still quite familiar with current affairs, and they are not as unconvinced as those noble businessmen, especially that Albierja is simply a person, who knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the strings and songs, and he is willing to communicate and coordinate immediately, and now it seems that the effect is quite good, the attack on the garrison in Sikkim has been greatly reduced, and some people have begun to reluctantly show their willingness to cooperate with the empire, this is a good start, as long as they can control the current stable situation until the imperial army lands in Sikkim, everything can be handed over to the officials of the government council to solve。 Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was not without officials of the Imperial Foreign Service who followed Qu Bo and the 1st Division to Sikkim, but their rank was not high enough to make a decision on some key issues, and the prosperity of industry and commerce in the Sikkim City Republic exceeded that of any of the Empire's prefectures and counties in the peninsula, whether it was Moro, The Three Treasures or Eastern Samoa, the degree of industrial and commercial development is not yet comparable to that of Sikkim, and the attraction of industrial and commercial forces requires some practical interests to exchange, which involves many policy things, and how to grasp the intermediate scale requires people with certain power and positions to make decisions.

Sikkim is a fully industrialized city-republic, and although the aristocracy that has transformed into merchants still occupies a very important position in the country, the commercial power of commoner origins has also begun to rise and is playing an increasing role, although they have not been able to challenge the aristocratic merchants who have accumulated abundant funds by relying on the initial privilege and monopoly power, but as an important force, they are also expanding their influence in the peace and struggle with the noble merchants. And the aristocratic merchants seem to be aware of this, and constantly use their privileges to suppress the commercial power of these commoners, which is what the empire can use.

Qu Bo didn't think about it so much, after eliminating the hidden danger of riots in Sikkim, his pressure has been reduced a lot, and what is even more gratifying is that the Sikkim Navy finally succumbed to the pressure of the order from the parliament and the fact that his army controlled the entire Sikkim City, and the Sikkim Island, which opened its door, was finally fully opened to the Imperial Nanyang Navy, and the Imperial Navy had set off from the port of East Samoa and sailed straight to Sikkim, Nan'an and Western Samoa, and the control of these three ports also marked the end of the entire southwestern war.

On November 20 of the mainland Gregorian calendar, the Imperial Nanyang Navy and transport fleet loaded with the Second Division of the First Army of the Imperial Army and the Third Marine Division landed in Sikkim Port and Jaffna Port respectively, and at the same time, the Imperial Nanyang Navy also stationed at the Dazuo Island Naval Base and Xiaoshu Island Checkpoint and began to take over the patrol mission of the Sikkim Navy, while the Sikkim Navy, which had lost its backbone, returned to Dacomi Island and Sikkim Port Naval Base to wait for the final decision.

At the same time, the negotiations between the Western Samoan city republic and the imperial diplomatic envoy on the status of Western Samoa and the future political and economic system are also in full swing, in fact, in the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the face of the Tang Dynasty's all-round advance, the intention of the Western Samoans to maintain their poor dignity seems very ridiculous, no one can get fair treatment in front of the strong without the weak. The people of Western Samoa also understood this, and they simply hoped that through this process they would be able to negotiate better conditions for the ruling class in Western Samoa.

Liang Chongxin did not refuse the Navy's request to show the strength of the Marine Corps, but welcomed it very much, and in the eyes of others, this was almost like picking peaches, but in fact it was not a big deal, and now the army strength in his hands was not very abundant, so he could let the Navy help him share some of the pressure, so why not do it? Not to mention that maintaining a relatively good relationship with the Imperial Navy was also one of the reasons why Liang Chongxin agreed to let the Imperial Marines control the port of Jaffna.

The Tiger Guard took control of the entire Nan'an city-state and gathered forces to advance towards Western Samoa, and his order to Huangfu Tiancheng was to deal a direct blow without asking for instructions if encountering resistance from Western Samoans, although the Western Samoans had made it clear that they were willing to submit, but until an official answer was received, the two sides were still in a state of war, which was Liang Chongxin's opinion.

The Fourth Army and the Eighth Army quickly advanced westward after conquering the Kuluk Fortress in an attempt to cut off the Peninsula Allied forces that had been lingering in Soktu, but their attempt did not succeed, Suleiman showed an amazing sense of smell, long before his own army was about to move, this night rose decisively ordered to withdraw from Soktu City, and was ready to fight a protracted war in the border area of the Principality of Seychelles, but Liang Chongxin did not intend to give the other party this opportunity, to clean up Suleiman has a chance, this time she has a smart nose and fast hands and feet, and next time there may not be such an opportunity。

Liang Chongxin didn't expect to be able to encircle the Peninsula Alliance Army in the first place, in his opinion, Suleiman's ability to dominate the southern region of the Central Continent is by no means in vain, as long as his intentions are slightly exposed, this woman is like a frightened hedgehog and immediately curls up and hides, and it is not easy for more than 200,000 troops to swallow in one bite, especially when encountering a not weak opponent like Suleiman.

Now that Liang Chongxin's initial goal has been achieved, that is, to annex Western Samoa and Nan'an, control Sikkim, control Sikkim, Western Samoa and Nan'an will no longer have to worry about the future, and taking Western Samoa will actually push the spear of the empire to the chest and abdomen of the Peninsula Alliance, and the Peninsula Alliance will have to consider that it can attack from the two directions of Nan'an and Western Samoa.

However, this battle also exposed many weaknesses in the army in his hands, and the performance of the Tiger Guard Legion under the Poma Mountain Fortress made Huangfu Tiancheng himself feel guilty of conscience, it turned out that the level of the Tang River Empire's Praetorian Guard was so mediocre, and there was an obvious gap compared with the brother troops. If it weren't for the fact that the fierce war made him see that there were so many problems in the troops he was proud of, the tactics were rigid and lacked changes, the ability to attack fortifications was weak, and the officers and soldiers were weak in their will to fight, and it was easy to get discouraged if it weren't for the large amount of cash and sufficient siege equipment provided by the empire to make up for the weakness of this army, and in Liang Chongxin's words, this army could have been cancelled and included in the reserve force.

The Tiger Guard Legion itself is probably aware of this problem, and it can show the passion and courage of the soldiers in the later struggles, if there is no this, Liang Chongxin will revoke the number of this army even if he is desperately offending Huangfu Tiancheng, and such an army staying in the emperor [***] is undoubtedly an injustice to other armies that have not yet obtained the number.

There are still some problems in the Fourth Army Corps and the Eighth Army Corps, Liang Chongxin thinks that he is looking at these two troops with a more fair attitude, although the combat effectiveness of these two divisions is significantly higher than that of the Tiger Guard Corps, but it is still not enough to take Liang Chongxin's eyes, the two armies have different degrees of loose signs of discipline, and the soldiers have obviously not fully integrated into this group, which may be due to the fact that the early war consumed a lot of recruits and did not take a long time to replenish the recruits, but Liang Chongxin believes that with nearly half a year of training and adaptation time, the two corps can do better in this regard, especially the Eighth Corps。

Although the people of the empire have been a little accustomed to the great victory of the empire this year, but Liang Chongxin's major victory in the southwest battlefield still made the people of Yanjing and the news media of the empire crazy, after all, this is a shameful battle after the empire suffered the defeat of the southwest war, Liang Chongxin did not live up to the empire's expectations of him, his performance once again made people shift their attention from Cui Wenxiu to him, who is the emperor for a while[***] Fang's number one general has become a focus of controversy in the news media.

Oriental Times, a flexible journal Even to describe the dispute between Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu in terms of dragon and tiger fighting, Liang Cui's supporters were divided into two factions to support their respective idols, and each analyzed the achievements of the two from the northwest to His Majesty the Emperor when they started one by one, and many of the achievements that have been buried in history have returned to people's field of vision, at this time, people remembered that the strong man who really looked down on the mainland by military means was neither Liang Chongxin nor Cui Wenxiu, but His Majesty the Emperor who is now less than thirty years old, but now His Majesty the Emperor is no longer able to let people see his peerless demeanor due to the limitations of His Majesty's identity。

And because the frequent wars since the founding of the empire have also led to a sharp increase in the sales of imperial news publications, "Mainland Military Watch" has jumped to the top ten popular periodicals in the imperial news and publishing industry, which is an honor that military publications have never received.

It cannot but be said that the empire was in the Indean region, The success of Meli and the Southwest has overshadowed some of the issues that should have been more concerning, the Empire had taken an aggressive stance at the beginning of the country, and had seized millions of square kilometers in one fell swoop, although many of them had already laid the foundation when His Majesty the Emperor was appointed as the military and political envoy of the Northwest and the King of Qin, but after all, this was the first time that the imperial power had officially set foot in these regions, and such a radiant glory still made many people excited, but this did not mean that everyone was confused by this seemingly brilliant cloud。
