"In the spring of the third year of O'Barro, the Congo Empire quietly accepted the war reparation demand from the Northern Falcon Empire, and ended the miserable war that lasted only three months at the cost of 20 million gold coins plus the cession of the northern sparse forest area, and was forced to open the trade routes in the inland areas.

The deafening sound made all the Obaros monarchs feel sideways and incredulous, "Although most of the Obaros don't want to admit it, the impact of this war is indeed like the thunder of spring that people can't ignore!" Before the outbreak of this war, although the Congo African Empire was not the largest power in the Central Europe and Pakistan region, but with an army of nearly one million and a powerful navy, it had always been regarded as one of the most influential countries in Central Europe and Pakistan for the aggressive expansion of the surrounding countries, but it was such a premier power, in just three months, it was overwhelmed by the Northern Falcon Empire, more than 200,000 elite troops were killed in battle, the empire's Kyoto was shelled, and even the emperor of the empire died of sudden illness in the northern war.

According to the speculation of many countries that have grievances with Gangfei, this resolute Emperor Gangfei may have died of anger himself, but it was only in order to cover up that the Emperor Majesty who was declared to the public died of a sudden serious illness due to long-term fatigue!

However, the defeat of the Congo has become an indisputable fact

It was also from this time that Obaro really began to call the Falcon Kingdom that rose northwest of Obaro the "Falcon Empire" in recognition of its powerful empire-level military strength and influence, so we have reason to believe that the gaze of His Majesty, the first emperor of the Falcon Empire, was the starting point of that starry era.

Excerpt from "The Thundering Early Spring: The Meaning of the Empire and the Gang and African War", Fu Xilong, lecturer of the Imperial Military Study

This is an important paper that was rated full marks by the Imperial Military Academy in 174 and was used by later generations as an important thesis on the history of the early empire.

Because before that, many historians believed. In the early days of the empire, it was a mistake to fight with the great powers of the Central European Barrow region, and it was a mistake to break out into war because of a small region

Although the victory was achieved, the benefits of the war were far less advantageous than those obtained by throwing troops directly into Gaul

And this long three-month winter gave the dying Gallic Empire a chance to breathe, strategically, ignoring the weakness of Gaul and starting a war with Gangfei, and even delaying the precious three months for this, it was a rare strategic mistake in the life of the Vecchia Falcon!

If the fat man saw all the disdainful shì about this battle in the next 171 years. These analyses, reports, and I see them will all be thrown in the faces of these so-called historians

A bunch of idiots kicked by donkeys, completely poisoned by books,

Or only the founder of the empire in this era will know that the rise of the Falcon Empire is the reason why the two great empires are caught and really go to war with Gangfei. Not for an inadvertent ring, not for the admiration of some persistent stoic stoic, not for the morale of the Imperial army to keep the morale of the Empire high, to beat the Gauls better for the coming year. It's not to save his "little wife...... rather, the empire needs the opportunity to break the backbone of an ambitious neighbor,

It's so big, or you're going to die. Either I die, the path to the rise of an empire has always been based on the bones of the enemy!

It's obvious. These things will never appear in the eyes of historians,

Their eyes will only look at the facts that are ready, but no one will pay attention to the people and things that contributed to the fact before they become facts, even in the records and archives of the empire, well, now let's once again look through the fog of history in this thunderous spring, with the unrestrained trajectory of the Falcon Empire, spread out the grand picture of this era!

At the end of the Battle of Putao, the Falcon Army stationed in the northern region of Congo and Africa began to formally withdraw on the one hand, and on the other hand, it took over the sparse forest area in the north of the Congo African Empire, and the main force of the Falcon Central Army returned to the southwest region, and the smoke of war began to become indifferent in Gangafrica, but on the Gallic side, the Gauls began to show a tendency to move in the spring after a winter break, and as the ice and snow covering the land turned into gurgling water in the mountains, both sides were very clearly felt

The validity of the armistice, like the ice that quickly melted, would soon be filled with countless insanely long war cries, and the mentality of the Gauls vowing revenge had spread in the Gallic Kyoto, and the reports from the governor of the Falcon Empire, the Rusty region, appeared more and more frequently on the fat man's desk

In his report, the Imperial Governor, who was born Speaker of Dorok, wrote: "The number of the Gallic army had reached 400,000 at the beginning of February, twice the number of our army, and Lord Salterton's Second Army of the South, who was in charge of the flank, was under pressure to temporarily shrink our front!"

However, in the report of another important minister of the empire, Crowrissat, who was in charge of assisting in the defense, it was mentioned like this

"The Gallic army is frequently mobilized, the attack is imminent, the officers and men of the whole army are eagerly looking forward to the early order of the Majesty to attack, the Northwest Army Corps has 54,351 people below the post, and the whole army has made a blood letter, which was originally the vanguard of the army, and leveled Gaul in one fell swoop" (attached to the blood letter of the army...... Hundreds of thick pages of parchment,. I can't laugh or cry when I see the fat man!

(The fat man asked about the papermaking situation again, but fortunately, the craftsmen in the southwest region had already made the first batch of paper belonging to the Falcon Empire according to the guidance of Qianyun from the Central Bea Empire, and the fat man took a look, although it was still a little rough, but at least he could already write things, and he didn't need to consume a large number of expensive furs every year)

For these two reports with very different attitudes, the fat man just laughed

After all, Duo Zhi is civilian, cautious by nature, lacking the indomitable style of a fierce general, and really leading such a war against hundreds of thousands of troops, or the first time, encountering a large increase in the Gallic army, naturally the first thing that comes to mind is defense, and he let Duo Xue serve as the governor of the Rasti region, that is, he hopes that Duo Zhi can curb the impulse of the group of arrogant generals under his command at a critical moment,

Croissette was born as a mountain hunter. Fierce and brave character, with his own southern conquest and northern war, never know what to fear, is a fierce general who has experienced the war of imperial unification, the battle of the northwest grassland for the precursor of the army, with 40,000 troops to attract 180,000 Ruierdian Northern Army, established the reputation of the first army of the Falcon, the best at mobile assault, the battle is fast and weird,

He cooled him in the Dorok Mountains for a year. It's not just for punishment, the soldiers of the Northwest Army are the most elite mountain infantry in the empire, they have been suppressed for a whole year, and the big war is imminent, if you want to say that your eyes are not red now, then it's called hell, but I didn't expect this guy to make such a sensational thing as the blood book, it seems that he was forced to choke enough, and it must be the kind that bites three catties in one bite when he is released

The main forces of the empire have just ended the war with Gangfei. It will take some time to recuperate, and the logistics in the southwest will need time to be mobilized, and Valisian's grenadier regiment is heading from the sea to Obarro, with Hukochili and Salon in the southwest. With full authority and already busy, the Rasti area is the border between the two sides. Both the Gallic side and the Falcon Empire were heavily fortified with advantageous terrain or cities. Or a fortress, with intertwined canine teeth, pulling a hair and moving the whole body, once the war starts, it will inevitably be a bloody and brutal strangulation!

Of course, the really most decisive report came from Gallic Kyoto, a secret letter named Angelio

Angelio, who followed Algernon Giulia back to Gallic Kyoto, has completely gained the trust of the other party, with the recommendation of Algernon Giulia, was appointed by the Gallic Emperor as the Privy Undersecretary of the Gallic Military Department, although it is only a civilian position responsible for drafting documents, but it is fortunate to participate in the imperial council of the Gallic Emperor, mainly because the Gallic Emperor needs to find someone to understand the situation in the Northwest Region, Angelio, as a pure Northwesterner, is undoubtedly the best candidate, according to the secret letter of this high-ranking traitor, although the Gallic high-level side is making every effort to mobilize troops and raise food, but is not ready for the final battle

The 400,000-strong army gathered in Rasti, which seemed to be imposing, and had the posture of drowning the Falcon army on the opposite side at any time, but in fact, it was a fierce inward, and the previous fiasco in the battle with the Falcon Empire had made the Gallic military lose the confidence to win

The loss of troops before and after, the fall of countless famous generals, the corpses of the army are all over the field, from the northwest to the southwest, and then to Rasti, one-third of the land of the empire has been discarded in pieces, and the undefeated army of Gaul has long been smashed by the falcon imperial army in the slap of the Sola River,

Even if the army invested this time accounted for almost half of the current strength of the empire, half of the 200,000 troops still fighting the Slavs in the north were drawn,

But even so,

When the Gallic Emperor asked who was willing to lead the battle, all the Gallic generals were silent, the angry Gallic Emperor's face turned pale, the generals lowered their heads one by one, drooping their heads, even the famous general Hasenrimbaud, who successfully blocked the Falcon Army's offensive in Rustie, did not dare to accept at this time, it was really stressful, Lastie fought for less than a month, and the famous imperial general's hair was half gray,

At that time, the Gallic army was 300,000, the Falcon army was 100,000, the Gallic army was defensive, and the Falcon army attacked, and in the case of three to one, the record was ...... If it hadn't been for their own desperate blockade, the entire hinterland of Gaul would have been beaten into a hornet's nest by the swift falcon army!

This time, the Gallic army was 400,000, and the opposite side was the Falcon Imperial Army, which was hoarded with 200,000 heavy soldiers.

The most frustrating thing is that this is still a situation when the Falcon Empire and the Gangfei Empire are at war on two fronts, the latest news, the Vechia Falcon, which is like the god of war, has just knocked out 200,000 Gangfei people, and the emperor has hung up!

Damn, is this still human!

The generals of Gaul looked like they had just died, and no matter how brave the generals were, they didn't dare to come forward, who would dare to meet such a bull!

Finally, at the Imperial Council, the Gauls made a startling decision

The Marquis of Lecob, the undersecretary of the Gallic Ministry of War, proposed to unite the Gangfei, who had also suffered a crushing defeat, to jointly attack the Falcon Empire, which was located in the middle of the two empires, and promised to cede the northwest and southwest to Gangfei after victory.

Faced with the joining forces of the two empires, the fat man had to raise his vigilance again,

On the one hand, it is closely watching the movements of the Congo-Africa side, and on the other hand, the Empire's heavy forces in the northern part of the Gang-Africa region have been withdrawn

But in the Putao area, the 50,000 troops of the empire did not decrease but increased, and the fat man drew a main flag regiment from the Southern Army of Statunko to join the Putao side, and the 114 warships of the main force of the imperial fleet gathered in the port of Huacheng, and occasionally wandered around the sea of Gangfei Kyoto, and the Gangfei side was extremely nervous about this.

Watch your home become a playground for the Falcon Empire's navy, at a banquet to meet with the Gallic envoys. The corner of the mouth of the Minister of Military Affairs Rubin Sark smiled bitterly, pointed to the hideous figure of the Falcon Empire's dragon-class battleship cruising on the sea outside the window, and said helplessly to the Gallic envoy, "Your Excellency, in this case, can our country still fight the Falcon Empire up and down with your country?" "The sudden death of the Emperor's Majesty, the chaos of the various power struggles of the new nobles and old ministers, coupled with the compelling momentum of the Falcon Empire, have plunged this traditional empire into turmoil, and what we need to consider now is not the southwest region, but how not to fall into the flames of war!" The tone of the old marshal of the empire has already explained a qiē,

The Gallic envoy was silent. When he arrived at Gangfei, he realized that the real situation was far worse than expected, and Gangfei was also beaten, which can be seen on the face of anyone on the streets of Gangfei Kyoto

Passers-by with hurried looks, a harbor without a single boat, the sun shining on the closed shops on the whole street, only a dark shadow, no hustle and bustle, no sound of joy. It was supposed to be a bright spring season, but there were not too many people to see, but you could see a large number of noble carriages carrying luggage at the gate of the city

The war is over though. But the effects of the war are clearly not over, spring has arrived, but the cold winter is stuck in the city, the once prosperous imperial Kyoto. At this time, it was completely gloomy, and the will was depressed, as if the empty shell of the soul had been removed. Only the most important things were gone

"Is this still the same arrogant and domineering Gangfei" Standing in the wide center of the street, the Gallic envoy raised his head and looked at the sky, the sun in the clouds, it seemed that he could not find this land, this feeling was too obvious, because the inner spirit of this empire had collapsed!

The Gallic envoy left Gangfei Kyoto in a trance the next day, because he had just received the news and completely broke off his plan to unite Gangfei

News from the Gangfei side that the Gangfei people are discussing the "relocation of Beijing"

Just an hour after the end of the meeting with the Gauls

In order to prevent Imperial Kyoto from being shrouded in panic all day long, 213 non-military officers represented by the Minister of War Rubinsark and 14 wealthy families in Kyoto jointly asked the royal family for permission to move Imperial Kyoto from the coastal area to the relatively safe inland area.

This is a statement by Rubin Sark, a veteran commander who has experienced three emperors! In the wind and rain of the empire, this old pillar supports the gloomy sky of the empire

One table is for the Gauls, it's not that we don't want to fight, but we definitely can't fight when someone is holding a dagger to the neck, and on the other hand, it's also a table for the Falcon Empire, Gangfei will not intervene in the war between the empire and the Gauls, all Gangfei wants is to recuperate,

The third table is given to those powerful people who are not in Kyoto, and the fight in the nest also depends on the occasion, and the enemy's ship group is still at the door of the house, so let's stop in moderation! Gangfei's "relocation to Beijing" has once again shaken the nearby countries, and the always strong Gangfei people have actually compromised! This point is extremely clear, and it also makes Central Europe Barro feel shocked.

In the coastal area of Putao, where spring comes, the wind and sun are beautiful, and the weeds tremble slightly in the wind, like a huge emerald screen, the mountains and peaks are undulating, except for the part of the peak, which is covered with green plants, from the fat man stopping under the horse's hooves to the small seaside town of La Arup, which is blue and white, and from the port report, a detachment of the Sea of Strand has just docked there, and the official diplomatic formalities are submitted, and according to the Lend-Lease agreement between the Empire and the Duchy of Putao, these areas are under the administration of the Falcon Empire,

A hundred and fifty miles of fine coastline opened up a new world for the Empire!

The island chain on the Putau Sea has been converted into a trading port by the navy in two months, and merchants from the southwest have begun to reclaim this "new continent", which is a sign of a new era, and the empire's trade routes have really begun to march into the hinterland of the Obarro continent.

Merchant ships came from the southwest, bringing a large number of goods from Ikadiva, the southwest, and the northwest, and from here they loaded the goods from the Congo and Africa onto merchant ships, and the goods were lifted to and fro in the port area day and night, and the blockage of continental trade formed by the closure of trade on the Gallic side was like a flood of the outlet rushing into the Putau region in this spring season.

Its rapid momentum has made the Putao area suddenly become a horse team.

Putao is only 200 miles away from the hinterland of Gangfei, the goods are tax-free in the Putao area, and only 50% of the tax is charged when entering Gangfei, and a large number of goods at a good price, the tide of influx quickly rushed through the Gangfei market.

It was clearly more in the interests of the principality to exchange barren coastal areas for more economically valuable areas of northern towns

Even if these areas were not leased to the Falcon Empire, the Duke of Putao would cry and cry and beg the Falcon Empire to station troops on his territory, the Putao Principality needed strong protection, and the large number of caravans from the sea trade routes also allowed the Putao economy to recover quickly due to years of blockade

A qiē is like this thunderous spring, thunder, everything begins to move!(To be continued......
