Commander Zhan Tie stood on the deck of the battleship Qin Shi Huang, looking at the looming coastline of the Holy Roman Empire in the north.
He saw Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan walking towards him and said with a smile: "The Royal Navy fleet will occupy the Italian Peninsula and the whole game will be alive."
Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan nodded cheerfully and said: "That's true. Based on the Italian Peninsula, the fleet can control the situation in the Mediterranean.
Admiral Yang Wanjun of the Mediterranean Fleet has made contact with Gibraltar.
After the destruction of the European Allied Navy, the strength of the Gibraltar fleet was the highest in the surrounding areas, and it could carry out the task of blocking the Strait of Gibraltar.
The fleet is in the Mediterranean and has officially formed a closed-door system."
Commander Zhan Tie saw the telegram in the hand of Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan.
He asked: "What happened to the fleet again?"
Normally, we wait until the meeting to discuss it.
Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan couldn't wait to come to ask for his opinion. It must be an important matter.
"There are two important things that we need to discuss with Commander Zhan Tie."
While Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan was speaking, he handed these two telegrams to Zhan Tie.
Commander Zhan Tie read the contents of these two telegrams carefully.
The first telegram was from Marine Corps Admiral Gu Han.
They were unstoppable along the way, and the countries on the Italian Peninsula had very weak will to resist and chose to surrender one after another.
The men of the Mediterranean Fleet mainly defend major seaports and important forts.
Admiral Gu Han's opinions on the governance of the countries in the Italian Peninsula.
He decided to support puppet kings and let these puppet kings rule the countries.
Commander Zhan Tie agreed: "Now let's follow Admiral Han's opinion.
The royal fleet was now unable to devote its energy to dominating the Italian peninsula.
When the army arrives nearby, they will send people to conduct military control.
Now, as long as these countries do not cause trouble, let these surrendered nobles experience the taste of power.
When we take complete control of the Italian peninsula, we can use these dignitaries to sacrifice flags and gain the favor of some local people."
"Zhao Changkong also has the same opinion. The three of us have similar opinions, so let Gu Han implement this plan.
In fact, after reading the second telegram, this plan is now the optimal solution.
I just passed by the telegraph room and just received the second telegram."
Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan expressed the opinions of Supervisor Zhao Changkong, and he also pointed out that he had just received this important news in the second telegram.
Commander Zhan Tie immediately checked the contents of the second telegram.
He has nothing to do with the Royal Navy fleet. This is a telegram from Lu Chenyang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army Europe.
The Royal Army and the European Allied Army fought at the Rock Fortress, and the Royal Army won a great victory, annihilating hundreds of thousands of European Allied Army troops.
In order to escape smoothly, the European Allied Army ignored the survival of the local people.
These villains retreated, setting fire to the forests and shrubbery of the Balkan Peninsula.
Fire is burning in the Balkans.
In a short period of time, the Royal Army was unable to pass through the Balkan Peninsula.
After Admiral Zhan Tie read this telegram, his eyes lit up and he said: "This situation is a huge crisis for the Royal Army.
After the European Allies retreated after their disastrous defeat, they would inevitably learn from their previous experiences.
Let the European Allies hide in the hinterland and digest the results of this war.
European countries also have time to mobilize their entire forces and arm millions of troops as soon as possible.
Even if all these troops are cannon fodder.
The war after the Royal Army will be a bit more difficult.
Now the two sides are racing against time. The Royal Army wants to enter the war as soon as possible, and the European countries want to delay the decisive battle.
The roads were impassable, but the Royal Navy fleet controlled the Mediterranean.
The Royal Army can completely travel by sea, cross the Balkan Peninsula, and reach the core area of the Holy Roman Empire.
If the Royal Army wants to land in France, the Royal Navy can assist the Royal Army.
The Royal Army does not need to worry about logistics issues. The Royal Navy already has the task of protecting waterways.
As long as we are here, the cargo ship will never be attacked by the European Allied Forces."
Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan's eyes lit up after hearing this.
When he saw this telegram, he always felt that this was a good opportunity for the Royal Navy.
But he never found a suitable entry point.
As soon as Commander Zhan Tie saw this telegram, he immediately thought of this entry point.
He is better at controlling the battle situation and not good at making temporary decisions. This is also an important reason why he cannot become the military attache who leads one side.
Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan agreed: "Commander Zhan Tie's method directly allows the Royal Navy to participate in the main battlefield from the side battlefield.
But the Royal Army is now trapped in the fire, and they will definitely agree with the Royal Navy's idea."
Commander Zhan Tie said excitedly: "I will contact the Royal Army Commander Lu Chenyang personally.
Chief of Staff Cao informed the fleet to prepare to assist the Royal Army and adopt leapfrog tactics.
The main mission of our Royal Navy is to protect the safety of the Royal Army and assist the Royal Army in landing.
As long as these two things are done well, no one can take away the tremendous achievements of the Royal Navy."
…………………………
Zhang Yunqing, commander of the Second Army, and Zhuang Renyi, commander of the Seventh Army, were chatting about the situation in the Balkans.
Zhuang Renyi shook his head and said: "The current situation is really speechless.
The First Army had so much meat that we couldn't even drink the broth.
The European Allied Forces are too useless. A million-strong army was defeated by more than 20,000 people in the First Army."
Zhang Yunqing, commander of the Second Army, waved his hand and said: "The First Army is indeed capable, it is the only tank regiment of the Royal Army.
One is in the First Army and the other is in the Third Army.
These are also two completely mechanized armies.
We, the unpopular army, only use cars for logistical transportation.
I don’t know how many years have passed since the entire army was mechanized.
Even if just a tank regiment attacks me, I may not be able to stop it under the command of the Second Army.
But we are already familiar with chariots. When we see chariots charging on the battlefield, we will indeed feel fear, but we will not panic.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These Europeans have never seen a chariot.
As long as the chariots charge, these Europeans will be defeated."
Zhuang Renyi listened to Zhang Yunqing's words and realized that this was indeed the truth.
But he strived to come to the European battlefield because he wanted to make contributions, not to make soy sauce.
They haven't accomplished anything yet, and he feels a little sour in his heart.
He looked at the soldiers under his command. They were tightening their leggings and carrying their bags, and were slowly advancing towards the north.
The large vehicles behind the army, pulling a large amount of supplies, advanced slowly behind the army.
The speed of the car can be increased, but it must follow the army in the war zone to ensure the safety of supplies.
Tong Yunpeng, chief of staff of the Second Army, jogged over.
He immediately called to the two of them: "A major military situation has arisen. Please hurry up and hold a military meeting."
The two looked at each other and immediately rushed towards a car parked next to the team.
They came to the car, and the joint military meeting of the Second Army and the Seventh Army was officially held.
Tong Yunpeng, Chief of Staff of the Second Army, took out a telegram and said: "Royal Navy Commander Zhan Tie contacted our army and proposed that the army could use leapfrog tactics and use the navy to directly land in European countries.
After careful consideration, the high command decided to land in Austria and advance toward Western Europe little by little.
The Second Army and the Seventh Army immediately turned around and headed to the dock to wait for the Royal Navy troop transport."
When Zhang Yunqing heard this military order, he said excitedly: "Great, the First Army is far away now and has no chance to participate in the landing battle.
This gives our two armies an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Attacking by sea is such a good strategy, why didn’t we adopt it before?”
Chief of Staff Tong Yunpeng explained: “The empire started this war not just to teach European countries a lesson.
The territory we occupy will not be given away to others after the war is over.
This is why we adopt steady and steady tactics instead of destroying the enemy's resistance as quickly as possible.
For this reason, the high command chose the Holy Roman Empire as its target."
The military meeting ended quickly, and military orders were passed down from level to level. The army that was marching north immediately turned around and rushed back to the port.
Commander Zhuang Renyi saw the soldiers of the Seventh Army still carrying their bags and walking slowly.
He was so anxious that he immediately issued an order: "Get all the cars in the logistics department for me.
The soldiers carried a small amount of guns and ammunition and immediately rushed to the port in cars.
Now is an important moment to gain time. Whoever can arrive at the port first will be able to proceed directly with the Leapfrog strategy.
You guys are really stupid, you don’t even think carefully about such an important opportunity to compete for credit.”
Chief of Staff Lu Yan said hesitantly: "If we rob the Logistics Department's car, we will be punished by the Governor's Office.
If the logistics department's materials are unable to be transported to the designated location on time due to our fault, the crime we are involved in will be even more serious."
Commander Zhuang Renyi shouted: "I bear all the blame and will act according to the order immediately.
You really can't grab too many cars, so just grab one-third of the cars.
Let the vehicles of the Logistics Department transport the Third Division, which is in the rear, to the port.
The supplies of the Logistics Department also need to be returned to the port, and the supplies that cannot be loaded into trucks must be carried by our army soldiers on their shoulders and carried to the port."
Commander Zhuang Renyi listened to the advice and wanted to find a way to gain credit, but he was not a fool and would not care about any situation.
The order was issued and the Seventh Army immediately took action.
When the military attache of the Logistics Department saw this situation, he smiled bitterly and could only send a report to his superiors to describe the situation here.
The Third Division of the Seventh Army was at the end of the team, after they grabbed the car.
Immediately we took a car and headed south to the port. The car was traveling at full speed, sending up bursts of smoke and dust.
When Zhang Yunqing saw this situation, he was immediately stunned.
The Seventh Army does not respect military ethics, but actually uses this method to gain credit.
…………………………
Lu Xiaosong, commander of the Third Division of the Seventh Army, looked at the Marine Corps landing in front.
The huge battleships on the sea were constantly firing towards the shore.
The armies of the Holy Roman Empire were completely unprepared when they were attacked.
The power of the main guns of the Royal Navy battleships is extremely terrifying.
The troops of the Holy Roman Empire did not know the power of naval guns at first, and they still wanted to defend the shore.
A single shell from the naval gun was fired, and hundreds of people were left dead.
The troops of the Holy Roman Empire defending the seaside were not very elite troops at all. When they saw this cruel scene, they were immediately frightened and fled in all directions.
Lu Xiaosong saw that the Marine Corps had already occupied the beachhead position.
Next, their division will be responsible for expanding the results.
He immediately shouted: "Brothers, charge."
They waited for the troop transport ship to dock, jumped off the ship, stepped on the beach, and ran towards the beachhead regardless of filling their shoes with water.
Lu Xiaosong saw that his men were moving very quickly.
The heavy machine guns and army artillery had been transported to the shore, and he was completely relieved.
Now, even if reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire arrive, he does not have to worry about his beachhead being taken away.
Lu Xiaosong came to the side of the general of the Marine Corps and said gratefully: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. We will be responsible for the rest of the war.
Your Marine Corps still has too few heavy weapons, and it will be difficult to attack fortresses without the protection of naval guns."
After Lu Xiaosong organized his army, he immediately continued to attack inland.
He occupied more territory before the Holy Roman Empire could react, so that the Royal Army would have more room for maneuver.
…………………………
Royal Army Commander Lu Chenyang watched the tank regiment board the troop transport ship.
They boarded the navy warship and sailed toward the west.
When Lu Chenyang heard the telegram ringing, he asked: "How is the situation? Is the leapfrog strategy going smoothly?"
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei took the telegram sent and said excitedly: "The leapfrog tactics are progressing smoothly.
The Seventh Army, escorted by the Royal Navy, rushed to the Austrian coast as quickly as possible.
The Royal Navy fleet and its marines created a good environment for landing operations.
The Third Division of the Seventh Army successfully landed in Austria and has begun to expand its results along the perimeter of the port.
The Royal Navy has built a simple dock at the landing port.
The main forces of the Second Army and the Seventh Army are landing in the Austrian area."
When Commander Lu Chenyang heard the news, he showed a long-lost smile.
The European Allies chose to set fire to the mountain, which indeed hindered the Royal Army's future strategy.
There are too many people watching this war. If he can't even deal with a small wildfire, he will be questioned by many people.
Commander Lu Chenyang has been working in the army all year round and did not understand that the Royal Navy's combat power is so powerful.
They were actually able to deal with a huge number of European Allied naval forces in a short period of time.
The Royal Navy was victorious and took control of the Mediterranean.
The war situation has been revitalized since then. The road is impassable, so they can take the sea route.
As long as victory can be achieved, it doesn't matter which path you take.
Commander Lu Chenyang happily ordered: "Notify the Second Army and the Seventh Army immediately.
As soon as the logistics supplies arrived, they immediately launched an attack into the interior of the Holy Roman Empire.
This war must be fought steadily and steadily, and we must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.
This is fighting in the enemy's heartland. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."
After Commander Lu Chenyang finished sending the telegram, he looked at the map of Europe in a daze.
He needs to comprehensively consider the progress of friendly forces and arrange the next combat plan.
The Royal Navy dealt with the enemy and turned the tide of battle.
The empire had a total of three armies attacking Europe, starting from the Balkans and heading straight to Europe.
The other two groups attacked from Ottoman Türkiye and Russia respectively.
If the friendly forces are progressing smoothly and are in the area on their marching route, they don't need to bother attacking.
