On the night of November 20, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Wang Yi, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Administration of Western Xinjiang, and Chi Lidin, the special envoy of the Principality of Medan, signed the "Wang Chi Agreement" in Yada City, and the Principality of Medan announced that it would surrender to the Protectorate of the Western Frontier of the Tang River Empire, and the Grand Duke of Medan accepted the title of the Tang River Empire.

On November 23, the non-stop Fourth Army Corps of Western Xinjiang, while leaving a division to garrison outside the former capital of the Principality of Medan, Miyaluo, took advantage of the fact that the outside world had not yet learned that the two sides had signed an agreement, and rushed south with lightning speed, and on November 26, it defeated more than 20,000 troops who came to intercept the coalition forces of Eastern Samoa and Moro. On 28 November, the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Fourth Army Corps of the Western Frontier Army entered the Eastern Samoan City Republic, which had been declared undefended. On November 29, another Western Army, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Fourth Army, entered the city of Moro City, which had also been declared undefended.
On 25 November, the special envoy of Maqi Khan and the special envoy of the South Seas Alliance arrived at the city of Myalo, which had become Li Wufeng's temporary office on the peninsula, and demanded that Li Wufeng stop his southward advance and settle the dispute between the two sides through negotiations, but they were refused. At the same time, two armies of the Macekhans sent troops to Kutdam to defend the city-states of Kutdam and Legon with the coalition forces of the peninsula, and the parliament of the Nanyang Alliance finally agreed to send 70,000 troops to the city-states of Sanbao in the name of protecting the commercial interests of the Nanyang Alliance. On November 30, 50,000 mercenaries returning from the east of the Central Continent disembarked and landed at Sambo Harbor, and joined forces with the Nanyang Alliance Front to station in the Sambo city-state.
On November 26, a week after the signing of the agreement with the coalition forces, that is, on the third day after the eastern mercenaries boarded the ship and returned to the east, the Pasha people suddenly tore up the agreement and launched an attack on the unprepared western countries of the peninsula alliance, and the western countries of the peninsula were caught off guard by the Pasha army in three cities in one fell swoop within five days, except for the fall of the Duchy of Tokton, the Duchy of Acha and the city-state of Itami were captured on November 29 and 30 respectively. On November 30, the Principality of West Oran and the Peninsula Alliance, Princeton City, the core city in the western part of the Peninsula Alliance, formally declared war on the Pasha Kingdom, and at the same time declared war on the Pasha Kingdom, as well as the Kingdom of Deland, which had just secretly married the crown prince of the West Oran Kingdom, and the situation in the entire Indochina Peninsula became more complicated.
The southern peninsula is covered with wind and rain, but the northern region is cloud-locked and foggy, and there is chaos.
The Jiama region can be said to be well-known to everyone for the important surnames of the Kaman Empire, and it took great pains to take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang River Empire to capture the Jiama in one fell swoop, I don't know how much effort it took the Kaman people to tear a hole in the natural barrier of the Tang River Empire, and it is precisely because of the Jiama that is deeply inserted into the wedge of the Gerlok Principality that the Kaman Empire succeeded in the subsequent battle of outwitting Jiayuguan, plus the final capture of Fanlin, the entire Kaman Empire has built a thick strategic barrier outside its southern mainland to ensure that its own territory will not be invaded by foreign hostile forcesHowever, all of this suddenly became a castle in the air because of the fall of Jiama, and the impregnable southern defense line in the minds of the Kamans also collapsed suddenly, exposing the entire southern region to the iron hooves of the people of Western Xinjiang at once, and its danger was even more dangerous than before the first capture of Jiama.
As the commander of the southern defense line of Kaman, Miley certainly understood this, but the severe shortage of logistics greatly weakened morale, especially since the beginning of October, the food supply was intermittent, and the domestic food supply was completely cut off, all relying on the replenishment from the eastern occupation zone.
Although Ferdinand's westward raiding recaptured enough food for the northern garrison for half a year, the side effect was huge, the Sithlo Empire once withdrew from the Liboa Alliance, and issued an ultimatum, if the Kamen Empire did not give a clear statement, they would declare the Sithlo Empire and the Kaman Empire into a state of war, although there was some threatening surname, with the existing military strength of the Sithlos, they were simply not enough to fight with the Kaman Empire, but in the face of the anger of the people of the Sithro Empire, both the emperor and the nobles of the Sithlo Empire felt that if they did not make some tough statements this time, I am afraid that the pressure from the people above and below is enough to make the empire face a huge crisis of confidence.
However, these diplomatic matters are not for Miley to worry about, and with the Prime Minister's response, Miley believes that the anger of the Sithroes will soon calm down, and he now needs to face how to retake the armor and rebuild a complete southern defense. The horses had to be recaptured, or the nomadic cavalry subordinate to Li Wufeng would turn the entire southern part of the empire into their hunting grounds, and Miley couldn't imagine the consequences. But he also knew that with the strength in his current hands, he was not able to recapture Jiama at all, and unless the Southern Expeditionary Army was withdrawn, everything would be empty talk.
But in this situation, Nick's southern expeditionary army is also difficult to ride a tiger, although he has abandoned Montenegro and Longquan, but looking at the reluctance of even the people of Tanghe to pretend not to take over, you can imagine the huge impact of the drought on the entire Eastern Continent now, without food, even if you occupy this land, what can you do? Facing the hungry mob with red eyes and screaming, the displaced refugees who may stab you in the back at any time, even if you are a veteran of a hundred battles, deep in this environment, you will still shudder. From Nick's heart, Miley can understand the other party's current suffering, like a bottomless quagmire, from Pinglu to Qinghe to Yulin, dragging the empire's southern expeditionary army, and now with the increasing difficulty of logistics, it is worthless to launch another southward campaign, but this was originally the fat in the eyes of the imperial nobles but has become a hot potato in the military, lost, lost, but it is a big burden to defend like this, not only consuming troops, but also having to maintain a restrained mood in this situation to face these hostile people, the impact on morale is also considerable。
Miley and Nick had exchanged views in a letter, believing that under the current circumstances, the only way to completely defeat the Tanghe people was to unite with the Sithroes, The Poole and the Dotun people, the Maqi Khans and the Milanes in the south, and the Japanese people in the east, using the land of the Tang River Empire as bait, first demarcated the ownership of the land of the Tang River Empire, and made concerted efforts to send troops at the same time to completely bury the Tang River Empire, only in this way can the psychological foundation of the Tang River people be destroyed and make them slaves of the country, only in this way can they ensure that the people in their respective occupied areas gradually accept the reality of the lost country and gradually assimilate, otherwise it is unlikely that the Yi Empire or the Liberia Alliance will eat this behemoth, or even if they eat it, they will not be able to digest it。
However, it is clear that this plan has many limitations, and due to the inconsistency of interests, it is obviously impossible to unite all the forces that can be united to raise troops at the same time, but it is very feasible to invite several more powerful forces to hold a grand event together, but it is also difficult to succeed in doing so in a short period of time, especially now that the relations between the expected allies are still at war, such as the Dodon and the Wa, the Milanese and the Machihans.
Since this cannot be done for a while, both Miley and Nick are inclined to temporarily evacuate the hinterland of the Tang River Empire first, such as temporarily abandoning Pinglu or even Qinghe, and at most retaining Yulin as a response to the flank of North Gerok and a bridgehead to the south, and wait until the famine has passed and then make a comeback, which can not only greatly reduce the big burden on the back of the current army, but also effectively shrink the defense line and ensure the defense of various strategic points, but this opinion was reported to the Prime Minister and there was no more sound, and even Miley and Nick did not understand how the always shrewd Prime Minister could remain silent on this matter。
The fall of Jiama strengthened Miley and Nick's will, and the task before Miley was to recapture Jiama as soon as possible, but when the intelligence department and scouts brought back intelligence that the Tang River and Gerok forces had not only rebuilt the city's defenses in Jiama, but also garrisoned a record 100,000 troops, Miley had no words but to sigh. With this passage and bridge, the nomadic cavalry will become a nightmare for the people in the south of the empire, and the tragedy of the Sithlos being repeatedly ravaged by the Motts will be repeated.
While Miley was reflecting on his original decision, the Kaman Empire was overshadowed by black clouds.
Gomez had been standing in front of the window for two full hours, and the servant brought the coffee down and changed it twice, but the master still did not seem to return to the chair to sit down, and wanted to remind his master, but the servant also knew that this was the time when the master hated people to disturb him the most, so he had to stand silently at the door and wait for orders.
The wordless bitterness permeated his chest, and the distrustful eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and the nobles seemed to be still wandering in their minds, and the thick smell of fire from the collision of tongues, swords, lips and guns at the morning court meeting seemed to still echo in his nose, this time Gomez really realized the hostility that the nobles had been hiding well, if he couldn't give them a satisfactory explanation, not only Nick and Miley, but I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get through this difficulty.
