Two hundred and thirty eighth chapter fierce battle in the mainland one
With these new equipment, the Persian Empire immediately armed its most elite No. 1 Gordon Legion, and then the elite troops were secretly transported to the frontal battlefield with the Istan Empire.
On October 14, 898, the First Gordon Legion of the Persian Empire, with 100,000 well-equipped soldiers, launched an attack on the Boranyi Mountain defense line of the Istanish Empire.
In this agent war, since the Yaman Empire and the Saar Empire did not want these two powerful countries in the mainland to be too powerful, the two sides had a tacit understanding and only sold the old-fashioned single shot and guns to them, and they would never sell artillery. Therefore, both sides did not sell them.
The combat power is not strong.
When the Saar Empire equipped its latest domestic armies to the Persian army, the Persian army, which had already taken the offensive, became even more powerful in attacking. The Istan Empire, which was caught off guard, quickly retreated.
Three days later, the Persian Empire destroyed nearly 10,000 Istanese people at the cost of more than 3,000 casualties and occupied the most important Istanese mountain defense line on the border. Not only did the Istanese Empire's Third Army and
The defeat of the Fourth Army forced the Istan Empire to retreat forty kilometers on the border.
Although the Istan Empire still has two lines of defense to rely on, without the favorable terrain of Mount Bolanyi, facing the well-equipped Persian Empire army with a large number of people, the situation in the Central Continent suddenly became tense.
For a country, its own strength is the most important thing. Without the ability to guarantee it, it is difficult for even the best diplomat to gain sufficient benefits in diplomatic activities. When the country is in such a crisis, Chinese leaders will be
When negotiations with the Istan Empire were ongoing again, Abadis no longer insisted on the previous conditions.
To his surprise, Gao Qiong actually made a concession. The Chinese territory was still bounded by Badra, but except for the west to the Istan Empire, its north was the most prosperous capital of the Persian Empire.
The circle was also assigned to the Istan Empire.
With this division method, although the Chinese territory still had to occupy nearly 60% of the Persian Empire, the most important part of the Persian Empire was assigned to the Istan Empire. Once the Persian Empire was really destroyed, the national strength of the Istan Empire would rise out of thin air.
More than twice as much.
Abdul II was very moved by whether the Chinese leader would take advantage of others' danger. He believed that this was a sincere expression of the Chinese leader. The "Istan Covenant" that everyone was happy was quickly recognized by the governments of both sides and signed quickly.
In addition to the secret clauses of dividing the Persian Empire, the two parties signed a large number of trade cooperation agreements on the surface. However, strangely, the Chinese ruler only signed a five-year military alliance agreement with the Istan Empire.
, and at the same time, it is required that all weapons from the Istan Empire be imported from China in the future.
The reason why we only signed a military alliance for five years was because Fang Xiaoyu considering that the powerful people in the Western Continent were launching a fierce naval arms race, Fang Xiaoyu believed that such a large-scale arms race could only lead to war.
As the invisible younger brother of the Yaman Empire, the Istan Empire will naturally be involved in war. The last time the Yaman Empire wanted to join the gang, but failed. If it was pulled into the gang by the Yaman Empire because it had a military alliance with the East Empire.
, that would be too unfair.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't want the Chinese leader to get involved in such a war too early, so he hoped to break away from military contact with these countries before the war in the Western Continent began, be neutral outside the situation, and take advantage of such a rare opportunity to make a fortune in the war.
, and at the same time try to develop your own industry.
Regarding the weapons sold to the Istan Empire, Abdul II was worried that there were no advanced weapons to fight against the Persian Empire, so they naturally were willing to accept them.
After signing the treaty, Abdul II immediately decided to order the first batch of 100,000 Type 92 rifles and ammunition from the China Group Corporation, two hundred Type 90 heavy machine guns, eighty 76mm mountain cannons and ten
Door 105mm howitzer.
As for the "Northland" class battleship, Abdul II did not buy it in the end. After all, the threat from the Istan Empire now comes from land, and limited funds must first meet the needs of the army's dressing.
Fortunately, the Persian Empire and the Istan Empire were both land wars, and neither side had any powerful fleets. At best, they were just some old cruisers, so there was no need to arrange too powerful fleets.
The Istanese Empire urgently purchased weapons in large quantities, which shows that the war situation is already quite critical, but these weapons need to be transported from within the Chinese leader. It will take some time to change the Istanese army. In order not to allow the Persian Empire to advance further, the Chinese leader
As an ally of the Istan Empire, he expressed to the Persian Empire that he did not want to see regional instability factors. In order for the people to be displaced and for regional peace, the Chinese leaders formally proposed mediation to the Persian Empire.
Since the Chinese leader has been operating in the East and New World, in other places where the Chinese leader has never encountered the Chinese leader's command, the top leaders of the governments who only care about the world's structure will understand the strength of the Chinese leader. Unfortunately, the arrogant Persian Empire
It does not belong to the powerful countries. Their government is just a resident who cares about their own interests and is limited to the country's surroundings.
The Persian Empire, which had completely blocked news, thought it was the first force in the Central Continent, and was very polite to the Chinese leaders who belonged to outsiders. They ignored the mediation proposals made by the Chinese leaders. The army continued to advance and went to the Istan Empire a few days later.
The second line of defense launched an attack.
This situation is exactly what Fang Xiaoyu hopes to see. The Chinese leadership has made efforts to mediate, and it can be said that it has done its best. Even if it chooses to start a war, other powerful countries will have no excuses for their responsibilities. Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu is to maintain peace and stability in the Central Continent and fulfill his responsibilities with Istan.
The excuse of the imperial covenant declared war on the Persian Empire.
On December 3, 898, the Chinese leader announced that the war had failed. The Chinese leader would implement the Istan Covenant to declare war on the Persian Empire. Although the Sar Empire subsequently submitted a letter of nationality to the Chinese leader, expressing concerns about the situation in the Mainland of China.
, but such a slight protest was not in Fang Xiaoyu's eyes at all.
Two days later, in order to prevent the Persian Empire from advancing within the Istanish Empire, the Second Army of the Guards stationed in Batan, braved the cold with the support of the 11th Army and the 12th Army of the Defense Army.
In Persia.
While the army began to advance, eight main warships of the Chinese Southern Ocean Fleet led by Sun Xiaohu set sail and headed towards the Port of Abbas, the nearest important port on the coastline of the Persian Empire.
Just as the main ship of the Southern Ocean Fleet set sail, six Sea Wolf 1 submarines also set sail secretly, but they did not set out with the main fleet. Their target was the Strait of Malacca.
Submarines do not have much effect in attacking ports, so Sun Xiaohu gave them the order to monitor the Eastern Continental Fleet of the Saar Empire located in Tamsui Port, and attack when necessary. The first submarine of the Chinese territory and even the entire world
The wartime movement kicked off.
The Chinese army was advancing very fast. Since the heavy troops of the Persian Empire were stationed in the border areas with the Istan Empire, this time it was unable to mobilize for a while because it launched an attack to penetrate hundreds of kilometers into the Istan Empire.
Although the Persian Empire was consciously moving its troops to the Batan border since the Chinese territory signed a covenant with the Istan Empire, there was no railway line in the Persian Empire, and the efficiency of relying on horses and camels to transport troops and supplies was obviously very low.
of.
When the Chinese Army began to launch an attack, the Persian Empire only deployed the Fourth Gordon Legion and the Fifteen thousand well-equipped Chinese Army. Faced with the 150,000 well-equipped Chinese Army, the Persian Empire had no choice but to choose.
Passive defense.
In the eyes of the powerful countries in the Western Continent, the Chinese Army seems to have always been a very good army, because every time the Chinese Army's military victory seems to be obtained from defense, so there is an argument among international military experts that is China is
The leader of the army is only good at defense and is not good at attacking. This time, the Chinese leader of the army is to show the world its offensive ability.
Although the preparations were rushed, the Persian army had arrived at the border area for more than a month. The commander of the Persian Empire was not a fool. He had fought with the Istan Empire for many years, which made him very clear about the importance of fortifications to war, so he was at the beginning of the army's arrival.
He began to use the relatively favorable terrain in the hilly areas of the border area to dig trenches and build fortifications.
In one month, Persian troops dug dozens of kilometers in the border area, divided into three layers of trenches and field fortifications.
The Persian army fought with the Istan Empire for many years, and most of them were veterans and had rich combat experience. Therefore, their field fortifications were dug quite well. Even the most elite Yaman Army in the Western Continent could not dig out better fortifications.
But these are of little use in front of the Chinese army.
In the Chinese Army, although most of the soldiers of the Defense Army were recruits who had been enlisted for less than one year, the Guards were all experienced veterans and had very strong combat power. However, in order to train the actual combat experience of the Defense Army, Zhang Zhonglin still first promoted the Defense Army.
The two armies were placed in front.
At 7 a.m. on December 11, hundreds of cannons from the three armies of the Chinese army raised their guns together. The faint light of the newborn sun shone on the cannon, emitting a sparkling green light, setting off these gods of war.
The mighty.
Zhang Zhonglin stood in the command post, put the telephone's receiver on his ear, and looked at the pocket watch in his hand. When the second hand and minute hand of the pocket watch coincided in the middle, Zhang Zhonglin shouted to the receiver: "All artillerymen have it, fire the gun.
