In the roar of the whistle.

The train steam cylinder has a strong sense of rhythm to push the locomotive's shaft and set sail in the ever-accelerating rhythm of "boom, boom, boom, boom,"

There were a total of six trains sent by the Oka Empire to the Principality of Bix this time, and the two trains in front and behind were armored trains. The justice of 100 mm on the armored trains can teach all enemies who dare to invade, including small-scale armored forces.

Binghe climbed to the roof of the train, looking at the vast fields around the train and the urban cluster slowly moving away from behind. The sophisticated military map of the highest library of Okab Star Tower appeared in his mind.

#

Most of the military technology in this era has entered a technological level similar to that in World War I. Of course, the chemical industry is going to lag behind in World War I. The world still relies on nitrate mines to make ammunition.

The Saint Sark Empire maintained an objective armor force in the eastern part of the Western Continent, which may be similar to the Oka Empire in number, or even more.

But Bingke understands that the Oka Empire did not exert its production capacity. The Oka Empire's armored forces were mainly tracked machinery, while the Saint Sok's armor was mainly bipedal mecha.

An armored brigade crawler vehicle was destroyed by artillery fire, and the Oka Empire could make up for it from the factory in three months.

The manufacturing and debugging cycle of St. Sok's bipedal mecha takes one and a half years.

If the armored war of attrition is fought, Saint-Sak cannot afford it. Not only Saint-Sak, no country in the Western Continent can compete with Oka for the torrent of steel.

#

Binghe can fully imagine that the Saint Sok Empire will suffer great damage and then decline in a military conflict with Oka in the future.

But in fact, the Oka Empire and the Hades Sark land are separated by a huge buffer zone of several countries, and the Mediterranean region is also restrained by the Kingdom of Roland as an allies, which makes the Oka Empire unable to deploy its armored forces on the Hades Sark border.

As long as Oka's navy obtains a port on the coastline east of the Mediterranean, the port can provide logistics supplies for armored forces. Then the trouble for Saint-Sauke will be great.

However, 270 years ago, Saint Sauk had such a crisis.

#

"Chris Peninsula" silently recited the place name by Binghe, leaning against the top of the train.

Two hundred and seventy years ago, ten years after the Eastern Continent of the Oka Empire collapsed, Pratt & Whiss resisted, which relieved the Oka Empire. At that time, the anti-Oka Alliance also began to consume a lot of resources in the war and became hesitant, and the alliance was uneven.

At that time, the alliance led by Grand Duke Oakley (that is, the one who just died half a year ago) included most countries in the Western Continent. Originally, Saint-Sauke was a member of the alliance.

At that time, the Supreme Emperor Saint Sok realized the crisis in the alliance, so he immediately decided to withdraw from the alliance and suddenly sent troops to the Chris Peninsula.

In Oakley's current document, it is very angry that St. Sock's behavior of taking the lead in rebelling, and believes that it is the culprit that led to the alliance's excavation. But politics, if you only look at one side of the word, it would be biased.

#

The information Binghe saw in the Saint Sok Celestial Tower is another record.

St. Saint Sauk had no choice but to seize the Chris Peninsula. Because the Oka Empire had declined to a low point at that time, it no longer posed a threat to all parties, and the Oka Empire's resistance began to become quite tenacious. This made the alliance at that time discover that it could not completely defeat Oka and could not divide Oka.

When a military alliance loses the goal of allowing itself and its allies to feel a common threat, and all the allies cannot gain benefits in the war, the military alliance has lost its foundation for continuing.

The anti-Okay alliance was already intrigue at that time, and the disintegration only required a lack of opportunity.

Although the previous generation of Grand Duke Oakley was a good man in the second half of his life, he was a conspirator at that time. The Grand Duke knew his national strength very well. In the later stage of the war, the Grand Duke discovered that he could not eliminate Oakley, so he began to plan for the interests after the war.

Before Oka's Mediterranean fleet was completely driven out, Grand Duke Oakley took advantage of the tense war on the Eastern Front and removed the defensive forces of the Chris Peninsula. In the planning of the Grand Duke, this strategic protrusion on the east side of Roland was given to Oka, allowing Oka's fleet to remain in the eastern Mediterranean. It was used to balance the overly strong Saint-Sauke on the Eastern Front.

While Saint-Soak was restrained and the threat from the Oka people in the Mediterranean was still there, the Grand Duke of Oakley could continue to maintain the role of leader in the central region and continue to play his role in leading after the war.

If the planning was completed by Grand Duke Oakley, St. Soc would not have much extra power to be a mainland military policeman.

#

Binghe saw information in the library of St. Sok's Celestial Tower. The information recorded that the superior Saint Sok Emperor was angry when he learned about Grand Duke Oakley's smallness. It is said that the two were friends before, but since then they completely cut off their compassion and never interacted with each other.

These records of the anger of Emperor Saint Sok in the previous generation are true, and whether there is a friendship between the two. Then they will not come, and Binghe will be reserved.

However, the historical situation is that Saint Sok, despite the alliance, took the initiative and directly seized the Chris Peninsula. And after seizing the peninsula, he did not stop and continued to lead his troops north. The lonely army who violated military knowledge seemed to be angry and wanted to find an explanation.

In the end, the troops of the upper-generation Emperor Saint Sok were defeated by the coalition forces organized by the Grand Duke of Oakley and had to return to the Chris Peninsula. Of course, the upper-generation Lord Oakley did not get any benefits.

#

The consequences of military conflict:

After the Battle of Peninsula, the anti-Okay alliance with many internal contradictions was disbanded.

But in fact, Hagia Sok achieved its strategic goal, preventing Oka from reaching the Eastern Front and maintaining its dominance in the eastern section of the Mediterranean region of the Western Continent.

For more than two hundred years, St. Sok only focused on facing the threat from the Hela people in the north and had the spare time to send troops to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries on the mainland, and won the title of International Gendarmerie.

The leader of the previous Hemanns, Grand Duke Oakley, was forced to coward all his life in the politics of the great power.

#

Binghe, who was riding on the train, reviewed the war two hundred and seventy years ago and thought about the situation on the mainland today,

Gun Flame Bing Ke, looking at the field behind him, suddenly changed to another way of thinking, and said with emotion: "If the Chris Peninsula was occupied by the Oka people at that time, it might not have been a bad thing for Saint Sok. The external environment of Saint Sok has become worse, but the domestic problems may be solved under pressure."

#

Eleven hours later.

The train arrived in Bix,

This is a coastal city.

When the gun flame Binghe saw the boundary line of the principality through the window, Binghe opened the skylight on the roof of the train, stood from a good perspective on the roof, and looked at this city in surprise.

This country is quite unique. The wide and magnificent city walls surrounded all the 30,000 square kilometers of territory. The average height of the city wall is 20 meters and the total length is 400 kilometers. It passes through six hills. Magnificent castles are built on each hilly high ground.

The hills where these six castles are located are very flat, and it is said that they were flattened by the God-given era. The Principality of Bix later built a fortress on the mountain.

There are only fifteen railways connected to the entire Bix.

Twelve of them are near the mountain, which means that the firepower of the mountain fortress is absolutely covered by the mountain fortress. The remaining three are bridges across natural rivers.

And between the hilltops is a high wall like the Great Wall. The city wall was built at the beginning of the steam calendar and it took two hundred years to build it successfully.

For this kind of behavior, Binghe can only say that the Principality of Bix is ​​so talented. Build a wall to encircle the entire country.

#

Binghe finally understood why the Oka Empire was so at ease with this principality. It was impossible for the people of this country to expand externally. Because expansion was driven by interests-driven people's hearts. Bix's such a brilliant wall is not only built on the border, but also on the hearts of the people.

The market prices of industries within the wall near Bix and industries outside the wall are several times different. It is just because the industries within the wall have a sense of security and can maintain value. In the areas outside the wall, no Bix people are willing to invest in it even if there are many troops stationed to ensure safety.

Bix folk song: "It is better to have a bed inside the wall than a house outside the wall"

Bix's concept of national wealth is low on the outside of the wall, so even if the great nobles intend to carry out military expansion operations outside the wall and achieve results in the early stage, these initial results may be praised in public opinion, but they cannot be cashed out within the wall.

The people were concerned about outside the wall and were unwilling to produce outside the wall to accumulate family business. The big merchants and the nobles could not make money from the people through outside the wall investment, nor could they support the external expansion policy of Bix Grand Duke.

#

Young people from all ages who had pioneering spirits came to power, but they were in the end. All ages did not have the courage to tear down the walls. But for all the forces in all ages, it is impossible to tear down the walls. Even if the Duke demolished the walls, it would be contrary to the will of the nation.

Of course, there are indeed some good policies to demolish walls now. In this treacherous mainland politics, demolish city walls and adjust foreign policies to make the powerful country feel threatened.

Bix may be invaded by powerful powers in less than ten years.

#

When the train passes through the entrance to the city wall.

Passing through the thick city wall gate, the magnificent scene that comes into view.

In the block fields, steam machinery sows large water conservancy systems in farmland, and the territory of Bix is ​​neatly planned into pieces after pieces. The railway crosses the land directly from the bridge.

In addition to railways, there are also dense highway networks. There are steam cars on the highway, and they walk slowly on the highway. On the flat and orderly plains, wisps of steam smoke are rising vigorously. This is a super prosperous country.

Although it has not surpassed the outside world in technology, the best country has been seen in Binghuo so far.
