Commander-in-Chief Wu Ming signed the instrument of surrender and the territorial maps of various countries in the Arab region in Constantinople.
Ottoman Türkiye ceased to exist.
The Ottomans retained part of their territory and established the Turkish Kingdom.
The Armenians, Kurds, and various factions within the Ottoman Turks in the Middle East have established kingdoms or principalities one after another.
In the Arab region, there were immediately more than a dozen countries.
Commander Wu Ming's mission in the Arab region has been basically completed.
They are also about to go to Europe to fight and enter the largest battlefield.
Mi Yu, the supervisor, sent relevant information to the capital. He looked at the complex map of the Arab region.
"We proposed the establishment of three or four countries, but the plan was rejected at the last minute.
The imperial court's plan was to establish more than a dozen countries, many of which were small in size and not as large as some of the empire's prefectures.
I haven’t even figured it out yet, what exactly does the imperial court want to do?”
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi came over with the telegram and heard what the supervisor Mi Yu said.
He coughed lightly to signal his arrival.
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi analyzed: “We previously believed that the imperial court wanted to carve out vassal states in the Arab region.
This country division plan was chosen to facilitate the subsequent expansion of the vassal state.
The imperial court's idea was not to divide the Arab region into vassal states.
The imperial court was preparing to establish a governor-general under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court in the Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf in the Arabian region.
The Arab region has become dominated by weak countries.
These countries are too small to form regional powers and cannot disobey the will of the empire.
These countries are basically located in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula.
They also serve as buffer states, so that conflicts between the empire and vassal states are minimized."
After Commander Wu Ming heard this, he took another look at the Arab region and the territorial divisions of many countries.
He nodded and said: "The chief of staff's view is very novel, and the imperial court may be thinking about the problem this way.
This matter has passed and has little to do with us.
Whether the Arab region can be stable in the future is something that civil servants should worry about.
Our focus should still be on the expedition to Europe."
After listening to the military supervisor Mi Yu, he also agreed with Commander Wu Ming.
He looked at the surrender document he had just signed and said regretfully: "The Ottoman Turkish Sultan really could have escaped. If we had captured the Sultan on the battlefield, the war would have probably ended long ago.
Our army will be commended by His Majesty and the whole army will be notified."
When Commander Wu Ming heard what Supervisor Mi Yu said, he also felt a little sorry.
The fundamental reason is lack of strength.
The gap in combat effectiveness between the Royal Army is also considerable.
The Third Army is the ace of the Royal Army. The 19th Army and the 25th Army under his command are not to mention the last ones in the Royal Army, but there is a huge gap between them and the ace.
Commander Wu Ming waved his hand and said: "Commander Bai Yuangui commanded the army and ended the battle cleanly. Russia was destroyed in an instant.
Our procrastination is indeed inferior to that of Commander Bai Yuangui, so there is no need to be jealous.
Looking forward now, the war in the Arab region has not been fought well.
The military in the Arab region is too weak, and we are stuck in a quagmire of security wars.
Learn your lesson now and make a name for yourself on the European battlefield, and you will definitely receive a commendation from His Majesty the Emperor."
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi took out a telegram and said: "Commander Lu Chenyang is making rapid progress, but the Habsburg dynasty is a powerful force with deep roots in Europe.
The army under the command of Commander Lu Chenyang was very powerful, but it was still exhausted in the face of the massive attack sent by the Holy Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire sent an army composed entirely of peasants.
The purpose of these troops was to die, but Commander Lu Chenyang had no choice but to assign troops to intercept them.
If tens of thousands of elite soldiers are allowed to act as they please on the battlefield, no one will be able to bear the consequences.
The Holy Roman Empire tried its best to stop the Royal Army, but the Royal Army still steadily advanced towards Vienna.
Commander Lu Chenyang has captured Vienna and the date for the overthrow of the Habsburg dynasty is not far away."
Commander Wu Ming pointed to the map on the table and said excitedly: "Our current location is Constantinople, which is very close to Vienna.
The fires in Europe have also been extinguished, and the roads have been burned to a smooth surface.
We speed up our march and must participate in the war to overthrow the Habsburg dynasty."
Commander Wu Ming looked at the map of Europe. There were only a few countries of considerable size in Europe.
Russia has been destroyed, and they will never catch up with the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire.
Their army will become the one with the lowest military merit.
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi praised: "Commander Wu Ming is right. The Arab region is now basically stable and the supply of logistics materials is smooth.
We can also let go of our hands and feet and rush to the European battlefield in a state of emergency march."
Supervisor Mi Yu said dissatisfiedly: "You two are too cautious, and now you are anxious.
We have arrived at Constantinople, very close to Greece, and already within the sphere of influence of the Imperial Royal Navy.
Even if the logistics supply line is cut off, supplies can still be completed by sea.
Once we can get in contact with the army under Commander Lu Chenyang, we can complete the supply through them."
After Commander Wu Ming heard this, he still insisted on his opinion.
"Mi Yujianjun, the risk of doing this is too great.
The benefits I gained were not worth the risk I took.
If we fight slowly and steadily, at most we will lose some military merit.
If rash advancement leads to failure, we are the sinners of the Royal Army."
When Commander Mi Yu heard what Commander Wu Ming said, he still believed that the risks of his method were controllable.
He insisted on his own ideas and argued with Commander Wu Ming whether there would be great risks in doing so.
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi looked at the map and pondered. An idea flashed through him and he came up with an excellent idea.
He heard that the two of them were still talking normally and signaled them to stop arguing.
"Commander Wu Ming and Supervisor Mi Yu are different from the past. There is no point in arguing now. Specific matters must be analyzed in detail.
Now that the Arab region has stabilized, the army does not need to worry about logistical supply issues.
Under this premise, the risks of implementing the plan to supervise Mi Yu are completely controllable."
When Supervisor Mi Yu heard what the Chief of Staff and Guangzhi said, a happy expression flashed across his face.
"Chief of Staff He, you mean to let the army abandon most of its supplies and move forward lightly, heading to the battlefield in Vienna as quickly as possible.
This is indeed feasible, as the 19th Army and the 25th Army have not yet completed mechanization.
They carried supplies solely under their own weight.
There is a huge difference in the distance that can be marched every day between carrying one kilogram of weight and ten kilograms of weight."
Supervisor Mi Yu was very happy. There was also a competition for the right to speak between their headquarters.
Whoever understands the development of war better and proposes methods that are beneficial to the army's victory will surely be admired by the entire army and greatly enhance their right to speak.
This method was proposed by Mi Yu. Once this method is adopted, the purpose can be achieved.
What he says in the future will definitely be carefully considered.
Commander Wu Ming heard the conversation between the two and understood their thoughts.
He shook his head and said: "Conservative, too conservative."
When Supervisor Mi Yu heard what Commander Wu Ming said, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe that these words came from Commander Wu Ming's mouth.
He was still strongly opposed just now, but why did Commander Wu Ming suddenly make a 180-degree turn?
Commander Wu Ming saw the expressions of the two men and explained: "I also thought carefully about the normal situation just now.
The time window given to our army is extremely short, and Commander Lu Chenyang can lead his troops to break through Vienna at any time.
When our army is marching, it must report its position to friendly forces.
Commander Lu Chenyang discovered that our army was approaching the Vienna battlefield.
It is very likely that he is willing to pay a certain price to take Vienna.
The First Army, the Second Army, and the Seventh Army are all the ace armies of the Royal Army.
Lu Chenyang commanded this army, which was truly the main force.
Regardless of the casualties of these three armies, I don't think any city can stop them.
In order to prevent this situation from happening.
The main force of our army carried baggage and advanced at normal speed.
Let the First Division of the 19th Army take all the vehicles of our army and rush to the battlefield quickly.
As long as our army can catch up with the end of this war.
Commander Lu Chenyang can’t say that the city of Vienna was entirely won by them.”
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi slapped the table with his hand and said: "I support this plan, now our army must move quickly.
We have already suffered the disadvantage of being slow and cannot fall into the same pit twice in a row."
Mi Yu said with a smile: "These weak enemies are not qualified to let us play military law. Now we are playing military law with friendly forces.
We also want to end the war as soon as possible, and I believe Commander Lu Chenyang will understand the difficulties of our army."
They reached a consensus that the main force would still act according to the original plan and everything would be stable.
The First Division of the 19th Army, led by the division commander Zhou Zhenyu, quickly headed to the battlefield in Vienna by car with a small amount of dry food and weapons.
They even carried only a small amount of fuel, preparing to supply the materials they needed through the complete supply line established by Lu Chenyang's Ministry.
…………………………
4354 (1657 AD), May 19th.
Nearly 150,000 people from the First, Second and Seventh Army of the Royal Army under the command of Commander Lu Chenyang have surrounded the city of Vienna and are waiting for the final attack.
Three army commanders, Chen Zhongwen, Zhang Yunqing and Zhuang Renyi, were already waiting in the camp.
Commander Lu Chenyang approached the camp. He greeted the three army commanders and saw the eager expressions on their faces.
He soothed in a soft voice: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be too anxious.
What we are doing now is to call for reinforcements at encirclement points.
Surrounded Vienna, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Habsburgs will inevitably mobilize all the troops they can control to go to Vienna to serve the king.
Our army only faces the army in the Austrian area.
They use various methods to delay the speed of our military operations.
They even issued weapons to farmers and sent them to the battlefield without any training.
The Holy Roman Empire did this just to consume the bullets of our army.
The overall number of our troops is limited. Once we encounter extremely scattered enemies, we will need to spend a lot of time clearing them.
We now only control the Austrian region, and the Hungarian region is still in the hands of the Habsburg dynasty.
Instead of encircling the points and calling for reinforcements, we should attract these troops who have always been interested in the Habsburg dynasty.
We will encounter big trouble when we enter the Hungarian region.
There is another point that must be guarded against. We have wiped out millions of European Allied troops.
This makes European countries extremely hate us, and they are also extremely afraid of us.
European countries still have a certain foundation, and they are also afraid of losing an important ally.
European countries are likely to organize reinforcements to support the Habsburg Dynasty.
I chose to encircle the point and bring reinforcements, not only the troops that the Habsburg dynasty can command, but also the troops from various European countries that may come for reinforcements."
After Commander Lu Chenyang finished speaking, he sighed and said: "Who allowed Commander Bai Yuangui to lead the Northern Route Army to capture Russia?
Being the first to eliminate the enemy country greatly boosted the morale of our army and enhanced the people's confidence in this expedition to Europe.
He will definitely receive a commendation from His Majesty the Emperor.
The impact of the second destruction of an enemy country will be many times weaker, so there is no need to pay a greater price to compete for this honor."
Chief of Staff Zhang Lei said: "Commander Lu, you are not worried about Commander Bai Yuangui leading his troops south from Russia.
Destroy the German Confederation and the Kingdom of France.
When we take over the Habsburg Empire, the Spanish Habsburg Kingdom will be left with a small role."
Commander Lu Chenyang smiled slightly and said: "I am not worried at all about the Northern Route Army commanded by Bai Yuangui.
After the fall of Russia, they will encounter the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
This is also a regional power in Europe. If you want to win it, it will not be achieved in a short time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Commander Bai Yuangui captured Russia, which was the accumulation of the empire for more than ten years.
If he can join forces with me in France, the progress is already very good."
When Supervisor Liang Feng saw Commander Lu Chenyang, he looked like he had everything under control.
He held a telegram in his hand and said: "Don't be too happy, our three-pronged army is conquering Europe, not only the northern route army, but also the eastern route army.
Commander Wu Ming is holding back his ultimate move."
Commander Lu Chenyang shook his head and said: "Wu Ming is a capable person, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
The 19th Army and the 21st Army, as you can see from their original locations, these two armies are not strong armies.
One's original location was the Caucasus Mountains, and the other's original location was the Western Indies region.
Both areas are border areas with low risk.
The Eastern Route Army struggled to deal with the Ottoman Turks.
This can show the strength of the Eastern Route Army from the side.
They had just defeated the Ottoman Turks on the 11th and had withdrawn from Arabia to conquer Europe.
It has just been a week since the start of the war. With their marching speed, how could they possibly arrive on the battlefield and affect our army's actions?
Wait until our army destroys the resistance of the Habsburg dynasty and completes the strategic goal.
The Eastern Route Army arrived belatedly, following our army to clean up some secondary battlefields."
Supervisor Liang Feng handed Commander Lu Chenyang a telegram and said: "Commander Lu, what you predicted is normal.
The situation here in the East Route Army is obviously not normal.
They didn't want to be a foil and marched like crazy.
Our army is preparing to encircle the point for reinforcements, and the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army will soon join us in Vienna."
After reading the telegram, Commander Lu Chenyang found out that the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army had passed through the Greek area of Fujian.
They entered the Austrian area and were discovered by the troops they stayed behind, who reported them.
Commander Lu Chenyang put down the telegram and said: "Anything can happen on the battlefield. This is what makes the battlefield so fascinating.
When the friendly forces arrive on the battlefield, our two armies will officially complete the rendezvous."
Commander Lu Chenyang issued an order to prepare to join forces with the army under Commander Wu Ming.
