1886 Xinjing Turbulence (9)
The brightly lit palace hall, with a long red carpet extending through the gate,
"All Stand Up"
With the loud shouts of the military affairs officer at the door, more than a dozen generals sitting on both sides of the conference table stood up straight like springs, and their hot eyes were focused on the fat man who walked in at the same time.
Seeing the Falcon Majesty walking in, the whispered discussion just now immediately stopped
The fat man came to the middle bench and sat down, and waved his hand to the straight-edged generals on both sides with a stern face, "Everyone sit down!" Originally, I promised you to rest for three days, but there was an urgent war, and I had to break my promise." The four words "Emergency war!" made the generals' ears stand up, and they were full of energy, high fighting spirit, straightened up, and everyone was thinking. Now that the main force of the Gallic army has been lost, it is not a matter of taking the eastern region in one fell swoop, so the battle exploits in front of him are naturally everyone fighting bravely, "It seems that we must suspend the Gallic offensive!" The fat man took a deep breath, his eyes swept over the stunned generals, he snorted, and said word by word, "I just got the news, just four days before we entered Gallic Kyoto, the Istan people also entered the new capital of the Gangfei Empire!"
"What! how could it be!" the generals gasped as they listened,
They have been fighting near Kyoto in Gaul for a month, and they are not very clear about the war situation in the south, and when they set off, they also heard that the Gangfei people set up an ambush in Fukodil, and stabbed a handful of the sharp spirit of the Istanbuls, but they didn't expect that it was less than a month in the blink of an eye, and the Gangfei people even lost Kyoto,
"Gangfei is a bunch of soft eggs!"
As the governor of the southwestern region of the empire, Saron scolded, thinking that he was facing the threat of the Istan soldiers because of his incompetence in the southwest. I couldn't help but fly back to the southwest immediately, it was the economic center that His Majesty Falcon had poured countless efforts into developing, and if it was stirred up by the Iraqis, it would not be able to recover for at least ten years. ,
"It's time to come back now, there's not enough time!"
Central General Hukochili proposed the immediate and urgent transfer of regional garrisons from the northwest. It means that 60% of the Empire's current forces in Obaro are on the Gallic front, and no one dares to guarantee that the Iraqins who have occupied Gangfei Xinjing will not pay attention to the southwestern region, which has become the economic center of the northern part of Obaro. If he grabs a handful and runs, no one will be able to take him, and the best way is to put on the illusion of a large army gathering first, so as to buy time for the army to return to help
"There is also the Putau side, if the Iranians launch a pursuit of the southern part of Gangfei. The Putao area will inevitably be affected!" Governor Fang, Statunko, was more concerned about the problem of the Putao area, believing that it was unrealistic to arrange defenses along the huge and long coastline of Putao, which was hundreds of miles long, and that it was better to give up a part of the area to gather troops if necessary
The Gaul side, where the main army of the empire was located, had to be temporarily stopped, because although Kyoto was captured in one fell swoop. and received the surrender of the nobles of Kyoto in Gaul, but in the eastern part of Kyoto, it was still under the control of the Gauls.
The east since Gaul went to war with the Falcon Empire. Far from being affected by the war, they made a fortune in the war, especially the princes of some regions with rich resources and densely populated cities, who were quite powerful militarily. The emperor died, Kyoto fell,
These regional princes, who had been holding back for a long time, finally felt that the opportunity had come.
They gathered in the eastern Gaul town of Ori, claimed to have found an illegitimate son of the Gallic emperor, and proclaimed him the Gallic Emperor, using this as the basis for forming a new Gallic kingdom, and also called on all Gauls to rise up against the invasion of the Falcon Army, if they could give the empire three to four months, or if they could gradually use moderate reinforcement methods to pacify these areas, but the fall of Gangfei Xinjing suddenly made the situation in the south of the Zhì Empire tense, and the army continued to force eastward, which was tantamount to completely exposing their rear to the Istan people with an unknown attitude
"Yes, at this time, the northwest garrison should be immediately mobilized into the southwest region" The fat man agreed with Hukochili's opinion, anyway, first let the Istans feel that the southwest region of the opposite empire is not such a fat and juicy meal, as long as the main force of the army comes back, the empire can reverse the current lack of troops.
"The Southern Army stays, Statunko is fully responsible for the Gallic front, the Central Army and the Northern Army set off in the afternoon, and will not hesitate to return to the southwest with all their might!" The fat man made the decision to stay with the Southern Army, Statunko's Southern Army has already been the elite of the battle-hardened formation, and Statunko has a good reputation in how to pacify the occupied areas, I believe that with him, a famous general of the empire, he will be able to defend more than enough without taking the initiative to attack the east
When the meeting was over, the fat man was not at ease, and he specially left Statunko alone, and instructed him on the strategy for eastern Gaul
"For the east. Don't take the initiative to attack!Because the pressure will unite the eastern princes! These guys are just a group of careerists, who seem to be powerful and recruit troops, but in fact they are a group of rabble, and they can't make any waves," the fat man said as he walked down the corridor of Gallic Kyoto, and said to Statunko next to him as he walked. As long as you hold on to Kyoto in Gaul and hold out until spring, then I can mobilize the steppe cavalry to enter the Obaro to participate in the battle, so that there will be enough troops to go on the offensive, and until then, take a defensive position in the east, and as for the task of attacking, I will let the nobles of Kyoto in Gaul take charge! Otherwise, it will always be an uneasy problem for these tens of thousands of nobles' private troops to stay in Kyoto."
"You want the hounds to run. That is, there must be meat in front of you!Not to mention the discord between the first line of Kyoto and the east," the fat man stopped with a stern expression, took off the falcon heraldic ring on his index finger, which represented the emperor's authority, and handed it to Statunko: "During my absence, you have full authority to represent me, and you have the power of life and death over the Gallic and Kyoto side! I will give fifteen million gold coins and two eastern Gaul provinces as a reward for merit!" And I will tell the Gauls that for those families who are willing to participate in the Eastern Crusade, the Empire may consider giving them the official establishment and rank of the Imperial Army, and those who are outstanding in combat can be directly incorporated into the operational sequence of the Imperial Southern Army! With these conditions, I believe that those are wavering. The nobles of Kyoto, who are as restless as ants on a hot pot, will not hesitate to rush to the east!"
"Yes, my subordinates know how to do it!"
Statunko listened with a look of understanding, His Majesty's trick to drive out the tiger and drive the wolf is really powerful, and he sent out the scourge of the Kyoto nobles at once, giving money, land, and officials, as long as the expression is good, the empire will not be stingy. These Kyoto giants, who are afraid that they will lose their famous positions, have every reason to immediately start a war in the east.
In the evening, the fat man held a banquet in the Gallic Imperial Palace, and in front of more than 1,400 nobles and nobles of 17 wealthy families in Gallic Kyoto, he announced that Statunko was fully responsible for the affairs of the new capital of Gaul, and said that in order to express his friendship with the wealthy families in Kyoto, he specially gave each wealthy family an imperial Samol sword. And give these seventeen wealthy families the "Seventeen Loyal and Brave Families", as a privilege, the children of these seventeen wealthy families can have the right to send a child to study at the Imperial Military Academy, and serve as an imperial officer after coming out.
Then there was the announcement of an expedition against the rebels in eastern Gaul, who did not know the times.
The Gallic nobles of the palace hall were boiling over when they heard that His Majesty Falcon had offered fifteen million gold coins and two eastern provinces as a reward for his exploits, and that he had been promoted to the rank of official imperial general. The nobles of Gallic Kyoto, represented by the seventeen wealthy families, immediately said that they would go and wipe out all these eastern rebels who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and did not know the power of the empire, in the early morning of December 29. In the central square of Gallic Kyoto, the morning mist emerges in the morning light of the dawn on the soldiers and horses standing like a forest. Fifty thousand noble private troops launched a crusade to the east, and the dim swords, armor, and battle flags of various families hunted and fluttered in the morning breeze, unraveling the prelude to what is known in Gaul history as the "White Morning Campaign" "Immediately passed to Princess Tulit Colin in the southwest region!" As soon as the noble private army was sent away, the fat man immediately mounted his war horse that was rushing to the south, and before the army from Kyoto advanced south, he had galloped south,
Gangfei people can no longer count on it, it will take time for the main force of the imperial army to return, and it is not wise to fight the Iranians who are in the limelight alone, the best way is to naturally follow the example of other big countries, and pull a group of younger brothers to cushion their backs, in this regard. Known as the Shadow of Obarro, the network of the Turit family is simply the first choice for the Empire's diplomatic wars.
The first thing to do is to use the power of the Turit family to encourage the Central European Barrow countries that have been watching the excitement to really take action, and win over a group of Central European Barrow countries to stand on their side, so that the influence of the empire will completely penetrate into the Central European Barrow region, instead of learning from the arrogant Gauls to engage in a policy of all-out conquest, it is the best policy to use strength to fight, in this era of shouting and basically relying on roaring, no one can really conquer, just like the Gauls have been engaged in the northwest for hundreds of years, and they are all reversed, and the empty army of hundreds of thousands is also the result of the whip
At the same time, carrier pigeons, carrying various orders, fluttered their wings and fluttered towards the two great imperial provinces of Obaro, southwest and northwest, which together add up to nearly half of the Ikadiva continent.
The empire's massive investment in the two regions and the policy of a large number of population migrations have been fully rewarded at this moment.
Abundant products, coupled with the fact that it has experienced several waves of immigration, the population of the New Taipei District, where maritime merchants gather, has exceeded 10 million, almost one-fifth of the population of the empire is gathered here, and the sea and land communication lines, under the design and cultivation of the fat man at the beginning, are very developed, urban agglomerations are numerous, and at the same time a staggering war reserve force has erupted,
Lidarchus, the governor of the city of the sea, who received an urgent war order, exploded in his own logistical genius.
He ordered the local armies to assemble, and at the same time ordered the opening of the mountains of military warehouses, and in just three days, the local troops gathered from the northwest region reached 30,000 people, and the six northwestern countries also sent their own armies, a total of 54,000 local armies and seven infantry regiments, a total of 120,000 people, to the southwest region.
Duozhi also launched a full operation in the Rasti area, dispatching 11,000 troops and 30,000 logistics teams into the southwest.
The Southwest Theater was formally established in the capital of the southwest on January 7, with a total of 210,000 troops, and the commander-in-chief was temporarily held by Salton of the Second Army in the South.
At the beginning of January, the Istan people who occupied Gallic Novochin stopped their frenzied raiding and massacre of Gallic Novochon, and looked not far away to the southwestern part of the Falcon Empire. In just half a month, the once prosperous Gallic Xinjing has become a ruin after the fire, and a total of 370,000 Gangfei people died under the butcher's knife of the Iraqi people in the four major cities alone.
The Iranians had no intention of keeping Xinjing, and for them, it was more in line with their interests to dominate Central Europe and Pakistan by completely destroying their enemies for hundreds of years, the Congo and African Empire. It is said that on the third day after the massacre, the blood in the city was able to spill through the hooves of the Istan Emperor Soladin I, who rode into the city.
In terms of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Li Yuehua seized the opportunity of the massacre launched by the Iranians in Xinjing, Gangfei, which shook the entire Central Europe and Pakistan, and urgently met with the foreign affairs officers of more than a dozen Central European-Pakistani countries that bordered Gang-Africa and were close to the southern part of the empire, expressing the Falcon Empire's willingness to unite these countries to form a Northern Alliance, and promised to protect all countries from being affected by this war during the war. After a brief period of negotiations, seven countries that had received the mediation of the Turit family and favored the north agreed to join the Northern Alliance, which was dominated by the Falcon Empire. The other six countries are still wavering,
January 15th. After seventeen days of rushing to the dust, the fat man finally rushed to the southwest capital with smoke on his buttocks, in order not to give the Istan people the possibility of finding out the truth and reality. In order to buy time for the retreating army, the fat man ordered the troops in the southwest region to enter the sparse forest area on the border with the Gangfei Empire, and put on a posture of full alert.
The war has not yet started, and the sudden explosion of the Falcon Empire's heavy army cluster in the southwest region has already frightened the Istanbuls who have made a windfall in Gangfei Xinjing.
More than 200,000 Falcon Empire troops, like a sea of mountains spread out along the national boundary line of the original Gangnon Empire's sparse forest area, the camp stretches for more than ten miles, and there are sections of small fortresses, the battle armor is as black as the clouds cover the sun, the battle flag is like a tsunami, and the hoplites wearing the heavy armor of the empire are in strict formation, murderous, and at first glance they are the elite of the battle-hardened formation.
Standing at the forefront of the scary, of course, is the glamorous regular army. Salton's Second Army in the South of the Empire, dominated by the Nord infantry, the Nord heavy infantry is the premier hoplite in Ikadiva, these soldiers wearing horned helmets, wearing full body armor, holding armor-piercing weapons and long-handled battle axes, and carrying a few short battle axes on their waists, how to look at them are crazy maniacs, waving flags and shouting behind the second legions, second-rate and even third-rate reserves from the northwest, although Su zhì is not very good, but it is also Lidacus to decorate it with blood, hundreds of thousands of sets of armor and ordnance, are all used for export trading brand goods, excellent and outrageous, wearing on whom is a heroic atmosphere of a regular army
"The enemy's military strength is unknown, and a war with the Falcon Empire of the King of the North at this time will put our army in a difficult situation of fighting on two fronts!"
The general of the Istan Empire estimated the ratio of forces between the two sides, and admonished Emperor Soladin I with an ugly face. The Falcon Empire has always been a country based on force, and it is by no means comparable to the likes of Gangfei, it is said that its country is rewarded with the most military merits, even more than the general aristocratic property, so that the soldiers of the army are not afraid of death, with the limited strength of the empire, it is unwise to fight with such a ruthless character in the enemy's land, it is really unwise, this is the case all these years, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, the generals of the Istanbul Empire have just made a fortune in Gangfei Xinjing, and now they want to fight with the famous Falcon Barbarians, no one wants to,
"It's a pity, but I've heard that the southwest region of the Falcon Empire is the richest region in the entire Obarro!
The young imperial crown prince was playing with a horsewhip inlaid with hundreds of gems of all kinds, and he seemed to be a little obsessed with it, and the generals of Estan who listened to it had their hair standing on end, and that was the southwest region of the Falcon Empire! This crown prince, who did not know how deep the water was, really dared to say anything, and he didn't know how many lives he had filled in in order to conquer the southwest region
"Summoning the order to return to the army, if I take the southwest region, don't you have no goal?"
Soladin I said proudly, he was very satisfied with the ambition of the crown prince, the horsewhip pointed at the army of black armor in front of him, and smiled proudly, he originally wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but the master had already prepared a bow and arrow, and it would be a death for himself to collide with it!
But the little emperor who is just not is really impressive,
The vast Kyoto, the land where the ancestors came through the thorns. Said to be discarded, the outside world said that it was to break through Gangfei Xinjing, but in fact, the other party took the initiative to let it out, so that the Gangfei Empire, which had been in a disadvantageous situation since the start of the war, was completely reversed.
Occupy Gangfei Xinjing by himself, which is equivalent to becoming the entire Central European Barrow region.
Whether it is those countries that have been standing still and want to take advantage of the fire to rob, or those countries that are afraid of their own troops and are wavering, they have now begun to show a hostile attitude towards themselves, and at the same time, they have also attracted the attention of the powerful opponent of the Northern Falcon Empire, so that they can kill birds with one stone!
