1891 War of the Princesses (1)

The hull of the huge dragon-class battleship shook slightly under his feet, the huge sails of the battleship slid down from the high mast, and the fat man held the side of the battleship and looked at the horizon of the port not far away,

The dense outline of the town looks like a huge checkerboard grid in the distance, in less than half a year, there have been obvious changes in the Putao area, the streets are full of people, the loaded carriages are waiting to enter outside the port, of course, the most in the port is still waiting for the people to return to the empire by boat, the Congo African Empire gave up the new Kyoto in the south of the Besuka line rearranged, the direct consequence of the inducement, is that the entire northern Gangfei area has become a vacuum overnight, the rumors that the Istan is about to march south, many people who do business in the Putao area have chosen to return to China in a panic,

Because the abandonment of Xinjing was so sudden, that the Imperial Admiralty had to transfer seventeen large transport ships and commercial cargo ships temporarily recruited from the Putao area to barely transport more than 10,000 people to the north, and there were more than 20,000 people stranded, and the people were panicked, crowding the streets and alleys of the port, and the floors of taverns and hotels were full of people.

The fat man was on the Boiling Boiling, the flagship of the First Naval Fleet of the Empire, this battleship had just completed its rest in the southwest region, and it happened to go south to Putao with the transport ship group that unloaded the refugees in the southwest region and rushed back to Putao again, and then went south with the transport fleet, as well as the 13,000-strong Falcon Imperial Guard,

This time, the fat man rushed to Putao in person, not only because of the tense situation in the southern Putao area, but also because the fat man thought that the center of gravity of the Central European Baro battlefield was also moving south.

For the Empire, this is an excellent opportunity to break the impasse in Central Europe and Barrow,

The tentacles of the empire are not only satisfied with the northern coast, but also the Putao Inland Sea, which has a coastline more than three times the length of the northern coast, and before the imperial fleet begins to officially enter the inland sea, the empire needs an inland sea port that can become a strategic support point for the entire process, and it is not the three inland sea ports that the empire belongs. Undoubtedly, they are quite tempting,

The Iranians on the northern border, having a spark with the Imperial border guards, immediately turned to the southern region,

With the arrival of the Empire's troops from Gallic Kyoto to the southwest, the defensive line was solid, and the northward advance of the Istans had been completely blocked in the open forest

The Emperor of Istanbul, Soladin I, who broke through the new capital of Gaul, really deserved to be a figure of great talent and overlordship, and he was really admirable enough, and he realized that he might have fallen into the trap of retreating into advance. He chose to withdraw immediately, he first announced that the Iranian Empire had no intention of annexing the northern part of Gangfei, but only returned these lands to its previous owners, this declaration was almost to say, Gangfei in the northern region, I, the Iraqi people are not interested, whoever of you wants to take it, this exciting nearby few have long been grinding their fists. The small and medium-sized countries that saw a lot of saliva did not hesitate to begin to devour the land of the Congo and Africa connected to them

And Soladin I, who escaped from the northern trap and managed to get rid of the aura of ridicule in the Central European Baro, showed his astonishing military talent. He led the main force of the 110,000 Iraqi army to march rapidly for three days, and suddenly plunged into the rear of the Congo-Africa army, which was fighting fiercely in the Fokodil area, and the main force of the Kong-Africa army was routed overnight. Desperately breaking through to the south, there were countless casualties on the way, and the strength of the more than 100,000 troops breaking out of the encirclement was less than 40,000. It's enough to be completely hopeless to restore the north in a short time!

So far, after more than two months, the Iranian Empire, which invaded the Congo Empire, has completely achieved a strategic and tactical victory, first severely damaged the main force of the old enemy Gangfei, once again seized Xinjing in Gangfei, and now opened the connection line of Fukodil, completed the convergence of the two heavy army clusters of the Istan Empire, plus the 70,000 people mobilized from the empire itself again in the previous month, the total strength exceeded 300,000 Iraqi in the north of Gangfei, and it has established its strong position of coming to Central Europe Baro. Because the army rested, the offensive of the Iranians began to slow down after the convergence,

The trend of the war, from the beginning of the fierce collision, entered a period of relative peace.

Whether it is the Falcon Empire that swept through Gaul in the north, or the Istanbul Empire that broke through Gangfei Xinjing in the middle, everyone is waiting to see where these two countries will go, because these two countries are the protagonists in the stormy central and northern parts of Obarro

But in January, another thing suddenly caught the attention of the whole Obarro, and that was the 1.12 turmoil of Gangfei.

When the fat man received this report, he was on his way to Putao, and when he glanced at it, he quickly smelled the conspiracy from it, which is a typical case of framing the blame," 1. 12 "If I am not mistaken, because it must have been a rebellion initiated by the military at the behest of the Emperor Gangfei,

And the final result is that the royal power that is just not crumbling suddenly becomes extremely stable, and the power is monopolized.

Emperor Gangfei picked up the cheap, killed all the enemy forces, unified the enemy, and finally framed the enemy, and took advantage of this incident to win the sympathy of the Central European Baro countries, it is simply a little kid who eats the overlord's meal, wipes his mouth clean, but wants the Falcon Empire to pay the bill, because in this matter, no matter what attitude the Falcon Empire faces, it will be undisputed as the black hand behind the scenes, and the Gangfei Empire can just use this to weaken the negative impact that the Gangfei Empire has caused in the Central European Pakistan Empire, just like a delicate child seeking protection from the entire Central European Barrow, crying about how a certain strange corn in the north bullies his own badness,

But in the fat man's view, the handling of the incident in the Gangfei Empire this time is a failure, itself is just a power struggle, if it is handled tactfully, at most it will cause some small fluctuations, but arrogant enough to think that it can be used to provoke an opponent who is much stronger than himself, and expect to be able to step on the head of this opponent to take the position, that is an extreme stupidity

Maybe the Falcon Empire will think that the Falcon Empire is forced by the pressure of the countries, and will choose to honestly suffer this dark loss, but the Gang Fei people obviously don't know the history of the empire, and the falcon coat of arms has never been willing to compromise The words zài When the fat man was still the hegemon of the south of Vechia, he once bit back a big county directly from the Rui Erdian people, the century-old overlord of the mainland.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, this is the principle that the Falcon Empire has always adhered to, and it is also the backbone of the Imperial soldiers, if you dare to spit at my feet, I will dare to directly unload one of your legs, the Empire has faced countless opponents stronger than itself, and in the end, these enemies have turned into dust

Gang Feiren's move happened to touch the fat man's scales.

Originally, the fat man went to Putao to prepare to start high-level negotiations with the Gangfei people, and leased three large ports in the south of the Gangfei Empire with three million gold coins for a lease period of 30 years.

As long as the conditions are proposed, even if it is a little cheap, it is not worrying that no one will agree.

Moreover, the practice of leasing ports with money is a relatively generally acceptable practice in the Barro Inland Sea region of Central Europe, and will not arouse the resentment of the Central European Barro countries, after all, the Falcon Empire is an empire with most of its territory in the north. If you want to integrate into a new region, a little low-key in the early stage can always provoke fewer enemies.

That's why the fat man let Tulit Colleen, who has a unique background, fight the front war, and ask the power of the Imperial Foreign Ministry to cooperate,

But 1. 12 events, so that the fat man immediately changed his strategy "It seems. We are still underestimated, since we can't express our attitude, we don't need an attitude, this is an opportunity for the emperor to unify power. Isn't it an opportunity for my Falcon Empire to intervene in the south of the Congo, and the price of framing the empire also needs to be compensated with sufficient benefits" "The relationship between countries has never had any morality at all. In the final analysis, it's just a matter of who has the big fist, and the strong fight the weak. Weak bullies the sick, it's a pity, we and the Istan people belong to the strong category, and Gangfei has just changed from weak to sick again, even if the Gangfei Emperor uses extraordinary means to unify all parties, but if you want to eradicate the disease, it will take more than three to four years, Gangfei's mistake is to find a wrong opponent at the wrong time!"

"Emperor Gangfei gave up his northern part and wanted us to fight the Istans, but alas, the Istans are as smart as we are! So, when you receive this letter, go to war! You know what to do, use the Empire's iron cavalry and crossbows instead of the Empire to open ......your mouth!"

For the average person, this is a brazen and naked letter to war, this pale gray letter with fine calf skin and sutures, which has been preserved in the Imperial Museum in its entirety for four hundred years, as one of the few actual physical evidence of the Falcon Empire's generation of emperors, proving that he was a mad war machine.

For the new cadets of the Imperial Military Academy who come to visit every year, the content of this letter must be deeply rooted in their minds and nerves from the first day they enter the academy, because it is a war myth, the pinnacle king of a stormy era, the greatest and wisest military master for thousands of years, the forger of a powerful empire across two continents, the most straightforward and simple understanding of the complex relationship between countries, national relations, is the size of a fist, here, every student must complete the entire letter memorized word for word, from this letter, the new military cadets feel the responsibility from their shoulders, because they are the fist of the state. They determine the future of the country.

For historians, this is the beginning of an era of storms, because since this letter, the Falcon Empire, which has crisscrossed northern Europe, officially went to war against Central Europe.

In the historical records of the kingdom of Putao. The day after receiving the reply, the Falcon Empire's princess Thurit Colin, who was sitting in the Putau region, stepped on the carriage bound for Besuka of the Putau Empire, and in front of her gorgeous black and inky carriage, 60,000 Falcon Empire soldiers crossed the border line like ant colonies.

The Second War between the Falcon Empire and the Gangfei Empire broke out, and in later generations, this war was given the beautiful name of the War of the Princesses, because the protagonists of this war were two princesses, two women with the surname Thurit and two sisters!

Turith, if you turn the dusty history of Central European Baro, you will find that the surname Turitkar, in the history of Central European Baro, is like an inextricable shadow, always looming, this surname, the earliest can be traced back to the era of the Fia Dynasty 1,100 years ago, as a powerful dynasty that ruled most of the Central European Baro region at that time, its successive monarchs have a mysterious witch to assist, it is said that the mysterious witch can help the monarch point out the danger of the kingdom, judge the victory or defeat of the war, and even can see the subordinate lords who contain evil intentions, who is extremely loyal to the king, that era is called the dark age of Central Europe Baro,

The king of Fiya is on the throne, the royal power is stable, and he has thousands of people in his hands, many of whom are cold-blooded and ruthless, and the existence of the witch makes everyone feel that they have no privacy at all.

Every day when he went to see the king's ministers, he would ask his family members to make arrangements in advance, because a look in his eyes and a thought flashed in his mind could be recognized as rebellion. In the end, the king's indiscriminate killing of innocents caused a rebellion broke out among the local princes who could no longer bear it, and at first it was only a small area, and the dynasty did not particularly care,

Soon, however, rebellions spread across most of the dynasty. Spread for thousands of miles, in the end, even the officers sent by the dynasty to suppress the army rebelled, the Fiya dynasty was destroyed by the angry rebels who poured back, and the shrine maidens with the power to peep into people's hearts were also slaughtered by the soldiers.

The once powerful dynasty was divided into more than a dozen princes, but the descendants of the Fija dynasty were not exterminated, they fled to the coast in the midst of the war, and changed their surnames to Burrows. One of the side branches is said to be descended from the blood of a shrine maiden, calling itself Tulit, which means "ominous one!"

And in the more than ten power battles that fought the chaos, it was also rumored who would be able to have a shrine maiden from the beginning. Whoever will be able to get the last secret treasure before the fall of the Fia dynasty, and restore the rumors of a powerful dynasty again,

It is said that it was a fortune in the tens of millions, because the shrine maiden predicted the end of the dynasty in advance. The last king of the Fiya dynasty buried three-quarters of the dynasty's wealth in the secret vault, so the raiding force sent by zhì mutinied due to lack of military pay, and only the shrine maiden could sense the location of the vault.

Stunning beauty, wealth that can rejuvenate the country, and the royal blood of the former Fiya Dynasty, for the local tyrants who are eager to erect hegemony in the chaotic war and obtain the name of the founding of the country, this is simply a cup of poisonous wine that cannot be refused, and all localities immediately put their resentment against the Fiya Dynasty behind,

As soon as the descendants of the Fiya Dynasty who wanted to kill and kill quickly became a sought-after commodity in various countries, the princes from all over the country sent people to ask for a marriage with the Berrows royal family that had been renamed, of course, it was not the kind of fair marriage, and the Thurit branch of the Burrows family, although it was named "ominous people" But it is the hottest target, after all, it is the remnants of the previous dynasty, the women of the Burrows family marry the powerful of all parties, but they cannot obtain official status, they will never have the right to give birth, they can only walk in the shadows of the courts of all parties, and a woman can only be lonely in the enjoyment of glory and wealth.

On January 19, the news that the Falcon Empire's army had invaded the national border from the direction of Putao finally burned to the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The little emperor, who was holding a meeting of the imperial palace to discuss the burial ceremony of Prince Dunade in three days, was interrupted by the urgent report of the chief of staff, and when he received the report that was sent, the little emperor's face suddenly became surprised.

"What's the matter?" the ministers were puzzled, and Marcos, who had just been promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal, asked, "The Falcon Empire claims to want an explanation from us," the little emperor said with a slightly trembling voice and a sullen expression

"Explanation? Leave it alone! I don't believe that all the Central European and Barrow countries on the other side would dare to go to war against us when they are on our side!" A Minister of War said with a contemptuous expression, "The problem is that the other side has already declared war without declaring it! The other side's forward has just captured Baruta, three hundred miles away, and the defenders have been captured by 5,400 people" The little emperor handed the report in his hand, "The other party said that if there is no explanation, they will keep moving forward and fight until Besuka!"

"What!" The ministers and military leaders attending the imperial meeting were in an uproar, and they picked up the reports one by one, and they were all stupid!

The turmoil has just subsided, the forces of all parties have made a compromise, the Central European and Barok countries are also rare to stand on the side of the rigid and non-African sides this time, it seems that it is really a good form, many people are still snickering just now, this time the black pot is pressed on the Falcon Empire, it is really correct, it is really black and shiny, in fact, the Central European and Balo countries are not so stupid, but the Falcon Empire has expressed its ambition to enter the inland sea in the past few months, and it is in a dense layout, which frightened the Central European Baro countries,

Thousands of merchant ships are ready to go in the Putao sea area, and some caravans have sailed into the inland sea as an advance team, which finally prompted the nerves of the Central European Barro Inland Sea countries, the inland sea is the inland sea of the Central European Barro countries, and the ethnic and regional conditions are very strict in the Central European Barro, in order to compete for the control of the inland sea, the Central European Baro and the southern European Barro have fought for thousands of years, and finally achieved some advantages, and now suddenly added a Falcon Empire, no one can stand it! , the O'Barro countries need an excuse to oppose the Falcon Empire's infiltration of Central Europe, 1. The 12 incident is undoubtedly this pretext,

It is said that the eleven countries in the inland sea region have secretly reached an agreement with Gangfei and decided to provide 100,000 gold coins to the Gangfei Empire every month to raise troops, especially the representative of the Strand Sea Empire, who reversed the previous posture of friendship with the Falcon Empire, expressed the most resolute and took the initiative to train a new navy for the Gangfei Empire, and was willing to assist twenty-one Strand Navy main warships free of charge"Tornado" serves as the foundation for the reconstruction of the Congo-Africa Navy. "The Falcon Empire is too rampant, just take this opportunity to teach him a hard lesson!" A radical imperial general suddenly stood up, "Lesson? The other side is 60,000 people! I don't know how many people are behind!" A minister muttered with a dissatisfied face, "In the first war, it was also 60,000 people, how many troops did we defeat! And this time the opponent's fleet also moved!" "Do you just sit back and watch the other party's soldiers come to the city?"

"Even if we want to fight, do we have enough troops now? One by one, we just want to die!" The generals and ministers quarreled, and the imperial meeting was completely chaotic

"That's enough! The enemy hasn't come to the city yet, what's the panic!" Marcos looked at the chaos in front of him, knocked his fingers on the table heavily, swept his eyes over a panicked conference room, and said in a condensed voice, "It's not whether we want to fight or not, but the other party has already hit the door, and now we need time to gather troops, so the best way is to negotiate first, isn't it just a reason?" Just give one at random, don't forget, the base camp of the Falcon Empire is in the north, and when the other party sends the news back, and then it will take more than ten days!"

The Imperial Council ended in a hurry, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was ordered to negotiate, went to the Falcon Empire's liaison office in Congo and Africa under the escort of the guards, only to see a big sign hanging on the door: "The liaison officer is seriously ill, no one is seen!"

"Bastard, it's clear that you're going to fall into the lower stone!" The foreign minister's beard was cocked, but thinking of the current situation, he could only hold back the anger in his heart and let the adjutant next to him push the door open, and the adjutant stepped forward and pushed it with his hand, not moving at all,

"What's the matter, don't you even have the strength to push a door?" asked the Foreign Secretary angrily

"My lord, the door looks like it's been nailed from the inside!" said one of the guards cautiously as he looked through the crack in the door (to be continued......
