With the signing of this contract, the three major international forces are all very happy. They all have oil supply areas that they can control. However, Fang Xiaoyu will not be satisfied with this. He will continue to secretly encroach and provoke the other two powerful forces.
, slowly consuming their power by boiling frogs in warm water, preparing for a possible next world war.
Secretly dealing with these mainstream forces in the world is the established national policy of the Chinese Empire, but these methods will take time to slowly show their power. The most important thing at the moment is another goal. This goal naturally returns to Red Russia, but this
Once he instigated not Alexander III, but Abdul II of the Istan Empire.
As early as the end of the war, in order to obtain Baku's oil, the Istanbul Empire planned a large-scale attack on Russia. Unfortunately, the Istanbul Empire's equipment was not advanced enough and the quality of its soldiers was poor. After making partial progress in the early stage,
, was beaten back. If the Cossack Empire had not launched an offensive on the eastern front to contain most of the Russian troops, Russia might have invaded the Istrian Empire itself.
After that time, Abdul II learned the hard way and focused on strengthening his military power. As a new member of NATO, his best choice was the Chinese Empire.
When Abdul II made an application for military assistance to the Chinese Empire, Fang Xiaoyu immediately responded. The Chinese Imperial Army not only sent a large number of instructors to train a new army for the Istanbul Empire, but also sent a large number of Istanbul Empire officers to China
They studied in many army officer schools in the empire. In addition, a group of Istani soldiers with higher education were allowed to go to the Chinese empire to learn the operating skills of tanks and fighter jets.
After these soldiers entered the military academy, the Chinese Empire did not discriminate against them. They were taught the same knowledge in full accordance with the standards of domestic students. They even participated in the Rainbow Military Exercise held in Tubo County during their studies.
This military exercise was an eye-opener for the Istani soldiers. After returning home, perhaps out of vanity, they vigorously promoted the authenticity of the Rainbow military exercise and the improvement of their technical and tactical levels. This made all NATO allies begin to pay attention to the Chinese Empire.
This is a military exercise under completely actual combat conditions.
After obtaining detailed information about the military exercise from the Imperial Chinese Army, all the allies proposed to send their own troops to participate in this military exercise to enhance combat effectiveness. Given the opportunity to enhance tacit understanding with friendly forces, Fang Xiaoyu naturally agreed. Not only did the army and air force
The Red Flag military exercise he participated in allowed all countries to participate. Fang Xiaoyu also asked the military to conduct a maritime military exercise every year, and also invited allied countries to participate.
Even if Fang Xiaoyu agreed to the requests of the allies, this year's military exercises have ended, and the invitation will not be until next year. Now, as the trained officers and soldiers of the Istanbul Empire have returned home one after another, the domestic troop training plan is also coming to an end. It feels like it is already over.
With sufficient strength, Abdul II was ready to invade Russia again.
During the long winter, the Istanbul Empire has been making adequate preparations for war. Under the advice of the instructors of the Chinese Empire, a large number of field airports and air defense fortifications began to be built in the border areas. At the same time, various troops that had just completed training also began to be built.
Entered the position.
On April 2, 911, Abdul II announced another offensive against Russia, provoking the second Russo-Iraqi War. After being trained by instructors from the Chinese Empire, the soldiers of Istanbul had long been reborn and were no longer the same soldiers.
That half-baked army. In the first offensive, the various armies of the Istan Empire launched a rapid assault like that of the Chinese Empire.
The first to be dispatched was the newly formed air force of the Istan Empire. They used the same Golden Eagle 2 fighter jets and Kunpeng 1 bombers as the Chinese Imperial Air Force. Before the Russian army could react, the Istan Empire's air force crossed over first.
After reaching the actual line of control, it first bombed more than ten front-line airports of the Russian army, destroying all 300 fighter planes of various types deployed by the Russian army on the southern front at the airport.
When the Russian Supreme Command received the news of the destruction of the Southern Air Force, they were stunned. The Istanbul Empire has always been a weak force, and the Russian army also despised them. Even the number of defensive troops on the Caucasus front line was
The weapons and equipment are less than one-tenth of those of the Eastern Defense Line. Now that the Istanbul Empire has actually struck such a sharp blow, this should not surprise the Russian generals.
Since the last war, the two sides have actually ended the war and have not signed any armistice agreement at all. Therefore, the two sides have been in a state of war. Naturally, it cannot be said that they have declared or not declared war. Due to the sudden incident, the Russian Supreme Command now
We can only find ways to mobilize troops so that the front line can withstand the attack of the Istan Empire.
Alexander III put too much pressure on the Russian army, causing most of the elite Russian troops to be stationed on the eastern front. There were less than 200,000 Russian troops on the southern front, and most of them were garrison troops with few advanced equipment, especially anti-tank weapons.
What's more, between the southern front and the country, there is also the Great Caucasus Mountains, which makes the Russian army's material supplies and troop mobilization very difficult.
Russia's domestic economic situation has been poor. Its main sources of foreign exchange are various metal deposits in the north and several oil fields in the south. Among the oil fields, Baku is the largest. The shortage of construction funds makes Russia's infrastructure not very good.
, there are only two primary roads from the country to the Caucasus, and there is no railway connection.
In sharp contrast to Russia, after the Istanbul Empire joined NATO, it was built by several railway companies of the Chinese Empire and built several double-line railways in the country. Relying on the fast transportation of these railways, a large amount of equipment and supplies can be quickly transported
Transported to the front line, it effectively guarantees the army's offensive operations.
Modern war is fought with high-tech weapons and the speed and quality of logistical supplies. Therefore, in the early stages of the war, Russia had already lost half of the battle. Unlike the difficult and difficult journey in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, after the plane bombing, the armored forces of the Istanbul Empire
A large number of Grizzly 1 tanks were dispatched collectively, crossing the hilly Lesser Caucasus Mountains in one fell swoop, covering the infantry group as they rushed towards the Russian border fortification area.
Facing the powerful firepower of the Iraqi army, the Russian soldiers could only hide in the fortifications and shoot desperately with the light weapons and few artillery guns in their hands. Due to the lack of anti-tank weapons, the Russian army's firepower was unable to deal with the Grizzly 1 tank.
There were not many options. They could only rely on flesh and blood and use the anti-tank grenades used by the Cossack Empire to attack forcefully. However, this weapon was too inefficient and could not fight against the large-scale Istan Empire tank troops.
The heavy artillery troops of the Istanbul Empire are also waiting behind the positions. There are front-line artillery observers or reconnaissance aircraft hovering in the sky to promptly send the coordinates back to the headquarters. The heavy artillery troops rely on these coordinates to name the Russian firepower points one by one and move them.
They were eliminated one by one, providing favorable fire support to the Istanbul vanguard.
The Istan Empire's army made its first appearance after training, and it gave all countries around the world a surprise. Its powerful combat style and fast and effective tactics were almost identical to those of the Chinese Empire. Governments of various countries could not figure out what the Chinese Empire used.
This kind of magic transformed the world's famous fish belly master into such a powerful one in two years.
In fact, the Istanbul soldiers who have fought with Persia for many years do not lack battlefield experience and courage. It is just that their backward equipment and tactics have greatly reduced their combat effectiveness over the years. This gives other countries around the world such an illusion.
The support from the Chinese Empire this time only improved the equipment and tactical level of the Istan Empire in a short period of time, which led to such a miraculous situation. Moreover, in order to ensure victory, the instructors from the Chinese Empire accompanied the team as staff officers at all levels.
The chief officer made suggestions and ensured the correctness of the Istanbul army's tactics.
The chief officials at all levels of the Istan Empire are very convinced of the abilities of these staff officers. In addition, they are in awe of the Chinese Empire. They naturally obey the advice of the staff. In this case, the Istan Empire's tactics come naturally.
It brings with it the shadow of the Chinese Empire.
In the face of the efficient attack of the soldiers of the Istan Empire, although the Russian army fought selflessly with great sacrifice and even fought to the last man in every section of the fortifications, Russia was not founded for a long time after all, and the fortifications on the border were
The construction had just begun, and the entire position was still completely unsystematic. Because the weapons were crude and the number of soldiers was too small, they could not effectively defend against the Iraqi attack. After a few days, they were forced to retreat.
During the ten-day offensive operation, the Russian garrison south of the Caucasus Mountains was unable to retreat, and was surrounded by a large number of Iraqi troops and annihilated. The Istanbul Imperial Army quickly advanced to the Greater Caucasus Mountains and joined forces with Russian reinforcements.
The troops faced each other across the mountain.
Since the Baku oil fields are located south of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, after the Russian army here was wiped out in large numbers, this area was successfully controlled by the Istanbul Empire. Abdul II finally realized his dream. After taking control of what he had dreamed of
After the oil fields, he also became less enthusiastic about fighting the Russians.
After all, war costs money, and there won't be many benefits if it continues. Therefore, he immediately ordered all railways to reduce the transportation of ammunition and free up capacity to concentrate on transporting construction materials and workers. Under the cover of the troops, they began
A large number of permanent fortifications were built in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, and only the air force was used to harass Russian territory to contain possible counterattacks by the Russian army.
Fang Xiaoyu had nothing to do with Abdul II's small-scale peasant mentality of giving up when things were good. After all, although he could rely on a large number of instructors and pro-China generals to control the army of the Istan Empire, he could not pay too much attention to its political direction in order to take into account the feelings of his allies.
