At this time, the current situation in England was neither good nor bad. After suppressing the internal uprising, the external battlefield situation was not good. In the past two years, the Verne Council had a rather powerful general, Poma.
Just after the Anglians wiped out the rebels, Poma finally received the mission and returned to Ver. (This was obviously an arrangement by the gods, so that the Anglians could use all their strength to wipe out Wei Keng)
In 3240, the Confederate Republic of Verol mobilized the Southern Legion to join the battlefield.
On April 7, 24 heavy units launched an attack on the Somme, an important town in the south of England. As the commander of this battle, Poma used probing artillery to detect the opponent's fire counterattack position and then suppressed it.
, followed by a lightly mechanized, five-ton spherical tank (refer to the Soviet Union’s experimental version) to charge into the position.
After this kind of rapid attack on the position, the position is occupied during the preparation period of the enemy's artillery, so as to seize the opportunity for the subsequent heavy armor forces.
Four hours later, the heavy artillery driven by Boma used energy-enhanced tungsten steel bullets (skill) to penetrate six Anglo units, successfully cutting off the Anglo heavy regiments and winning this heavy armored war.
On the battlefield at this time, since large bombers have not yet been developed, and the airship's maneuverability is far from forming an absolute advantage over ground mobile anti-aircraft firepower, the status of heavy armored firepower is the same as that of the earth's air force in the 21st century.
In the 21st century, the Air Force's air supremacy has been suppressed and other operations are out of the question, and it's the same here.
When the heavy armored forces were contained, the fourteen divisions relying on armor lost their fire cover and were annihilated one by one.
Boma looked at the fallen Somme. The spire-style cathedral that was once the center of the surface city has now had one-third of its top cut off. The airship floated past at low altitude, and its chassis gun muzzle brushed against the top of the charred building.
Boma: "Here is a sharp knife thrust into Unsa."
...On the map, the huge arrows interspersed are the great achievements of the generals, but they are the meat grinders for the death of soldiers...
In the Battle of the Somme in 3240, the Anglo-Saxon Empire began to decline. It seemed that the outcome of the war was about to be decided.
In a large-scale regional war like this, when one area wins, the victor will have enough troops to concentrate in other theaters, which will form a snowballing advantage. Unless Anglo finds a new force to fill this hole.
Anglo is using all its diplomatic power to try to drag more countries into the war. In Anglo newspapers, the former Thunder and Flash Alliance is beginning to show signs of resurrection.
However, the Kingdom of Osima tactfully rejected Anglo's solicitation. In the past few years, the Kingdom of Osima has been a protruding hole made by the Iron Star in the northeast, undergoing a "mouth ulcer" model of blood loss. There has also been an uprising in the form of an Iron Star in the south.
The military power began to increasingly replace the local warlord power in Osima.
The sense of dependence created by building up layers of defenses over hundreds of years cannot be offset by breaking them down.
When Iron Star gathered two land cruiser mechanical groups (24 vehicles) in the north, the old forces of Osima had to maintain twice as many (60 vehicles) heavy machinery groups to contain them.
But now that the large number of cement bunkers piled up between Osima and Iron Star have lost their effect, Iron Star has withdrawn its front line, shrunk its strongholds, and concentrated its corps on a few nodes.
But Osimar cannot do that. Osimar is blocking the possible offensive capabilities of Iron Star in the north in the direction of Kaidi City. The corps under the static defense system composed of reinforced concrete bunkers cannot be disbanded.
This is just like once biology begins to evolve towards the armor, the armor cannot be removed.
...If you want to wait for the "armor-breaking" power to exist, then you have to let some "new shoots" grow up quickly...
After Anglo learned about Osima's situation, he quickly set out to find Iron Star, but the price offered by Iron Star was even more unacceptable to Anglo, which was a series of island bases in the southeastern part of Wanlun Continent.
This challenge to Anglo's maritime hegemony is the reason why Anglo formed the Thunder and Flash Alliance at great cost last time. If Iron Star is allowed to win at this time, what is the point of the war between Anglo and Ver?
But for Iron Star, they don't care about this. Compared with "Enma" who is an idealist who looks at the whole Wanlun, the current leader of Iron Star, Willy, is a pragmatist.
Regarding the "Kaidi" Fortress City, Willy completely disagrees with the so-called "Iron Star takes advantage".
What Willy knows most about this war is that the Anglo provoked Osima and fought a blood feud with Sky for four hundred years. This blood feud has not yet been resolved, and they intervened in the early stages of the uprising, and they still owe money to the Sky Empire.
You have a lot of so-called legal treaties. You have not abrogated these treaties yet, and are ready to pull them into secondary transactions. You, Anglo, still maintain the Thunder and Lightning Alliance, and will pick up this "bargaining chip" to threaten you again at any time in the future, so
Willy's attitude was clear.
For the current Iron Star Federation politicians, the accounts you settled in the past were not clean. Now you want to bring these dirty old accounts to the negotiating table for negotiation. There is no way! I will not settle the old accounts with you, and now I will directly settle the new accounts.
Okay, I have the southern island base in stock, do you want to give it to me?
... Enma looked at Willy's "aggressiveness" and sighed: "If it were me, I wouldn't have a word with Anglo." Because he has a different stance from hegemony, he shouldn't bargain with hegemony...
February 4, 3241.
The Anglo envoy who visited the sky left Iron Star angrily, and after returning to Rota City, he spoke out in the tone of a victim, "I came to mediate the war with great sincerity, but was humiliated by vulgar country farmers like Iron Star."
narrative.
This story was so well told that it caused the Anglo nobles and factory owners to curse Iron Star. As a result, they donated money and materials to support the empire in getting through the current difficulties.
Of course, in the context of the nobles' love and dedication, higher tax rates were launched in the empire, and a large number of new factories were forcibly taken over, and they were unified and managed by the "War Assets Management Committee" formed by the Anglo.
Oh, the members of this War Assets Committee include a public director-general (who made his debut as an amateur), and twenty anonymous senior committee members. Among these anonymous people who have the right to vote on major events, three of them are members of the Anglo royal family, and the rest are also
He is a Duke and the head of a key industrial family.
When it comes to fairness, if there are no unscrupulous people digging into the matter, the rulers will gradually develop a variety of clever ways to let everyone get by and maintain fairness in name.
During this war, Anglo also found its own way to centralize.
