The other half of the Donghua Navy was led by the "Zhenyuan" to engage in breaking engagements along the coastline to the north.
Because Ecuador has the support of New Grenada, it is now once again at odds with the Kingdom of Donghua.
It and Colombria both have long coastlines on the Pacific Ocean.
This time they gathered nearly 200,000 troops to attack Donghua.
According to the estimates of the Donghua Kingdom, they will definitely not have a large-scale army in their rear.
The second mission of Donghua Navy is to attack these coastal areas.
But with the navy alone, there are limits to the attack.
It would be great if an army could land behind the enemy's rear.
For example, several small countries, or regions, in Central Amelia have populations of only a few hundred thousand.
It is not difficult to capture such a place. This is because the local transportation conditions are poor and are not suitable for large-scale operations.
It's just a small-scale elite, and Donghua simply can't produce it now.
The elite veterans will either sink to lead the troops.
Or put it in the rainforest area to the east.
Although Busi did not publicly join the siege of the Donghua Kingdom this time.
But under the influence of the Great Empire and France, no one can guarantee whether they will change their minds.
If the Busi Empire wants to join the war, it can only fight from the Amazon River. Marching in the rainforest is full of difficulties. Even if it takes the waterway, there are many variables.
Therefore, the Busi people will not send too many troops.
Donghua only needs to be wary of Busi infiltrating upstream from the rainforest.
It seems that Donghua's troops are dispersed for defense.
The Kingdom of Donghua is unable to defeat four enemies with just two fists. Dong Shutong must find help this time.
Jiahua in the north was originally the foreign aid on the side of Donghua.
Dong Shuheng had already told Tian Fang and the others that Yangtze Security was a mercenary force and there was no need to worry about the impact. They could ask Yangtze Security for help at any time.
But Donghua has never encountered such a crisis before.
The holy cities of Cusco, Dong Shutong and Zhumu have all moved back.
The tall and magnificent palace has only completed less than half of the project, and construction has now stopped.
At this time, the storm is about to come, and everyone must use their ideas.
"In power, we have contacted Yangtze River Security. They will send 5,000 land troops and their navy to join our fleet heading north to coordinate operations. They will land in Bonaparte City and then attack south together with the fleet."
Tian Fang said.
He remains in the capital for the time being and has not yet gone to the front line.
"Okay, Krupp, do you think that with this arrangement, we have a slight chance of winning?"
"Seventy percent!" Tian Fang was full of confidence.
"Your Majesty, the government is not just bragging. Although our Donghua Army has only been established for a few years, we have been fighting for almost consecutive years. Most of the soldiers have actual combat experience. Your Majesty should know that soldiers who have seen blood on the battlefield are different from
How different are the soldiers who have never seen blood?"
"This time the Grenada countries came to attack. Although they were well prepared and their equipment was comparable to ours, these countries usually did not have many standing troops, and most of their soldiers were new soldiers. Although they had the help of the French,
Command, but fighting a war ultimately depends on the soldiers."
"Krupp, New Grenada is not stupid either. They know we have a navy, so how can they leave their own rear alone?" Although Dong Shutong is not good at fighting, he also knows that he must try his best to be as calm as possible before a war.
No worries.
New Grenada cannot be desperate.
"The worries of the ruling party are indeed true, but the most they can consider is our navy. Facing so many enemy attacks, we will definitely not be able to deploy an organized army. If we only have a navy, they can only evacuate the coastal people and then deploy
A certain army is in coastal cities, as long as it avoids the range of our naval gun attacks."
"Haha, I understand, Krupp, now we have the support of Yangtze River Security. This is something they did not expect. This is a variable they did not expect."
"Exactly that, governing."
At this time, Zhumu, who had not spoken much, smiled and said: "Krupp, the governor and I have decided to come up with some practical policies to encourage the soldiers. This time we are going to spend two million Chinese dollars to labor the army. In addition, the new "Military Merits"
The Act on the Granting of Titles will also be promulgated and implemented in the next few days, and Krupp must do a good job in publicity among the military. The governor and I will not be stingy on titles and land. The Kingdom of Donghua is our common home, and all those who protect it will
Everyone deserves to give back.”
After several years of exploration and experimentation, the system of the Donghua Kingdom gradually improved.
As a kingdom, Donghua cannot copy the Chinese system. They must have their own set of systems.
Dong Shuheng also has some ideas that he hopes to try in Donghua. Can a feudal kingdom keep up with the pace of development in this era?
The mid-19th century was a critical period of social change, and no one knew which path was correct.
Even those things that Dong Shuheng knew innately may not be suitable for this era.
The current Donghua Kingdom encourages the development of free capital, and at the same time has a large amount of assets, and the land belongs to the royal family.
In terms of national management education, there are some revolutionary Songun thoughts, which also safeguard the basic interests of ordinary people and encourage people's free development.
In terms of ideology, there are both the primitive religion of the Yin Di'an people, Catholicism and Han Confucian education.
The economy is mainly based on the export of raw materials. Relying on its unique innate strength in mineral resources and a huge market like the Greater China Circle, it has achieved economic rise.
At least for now, this model works very effectively.
Songun politics allowed the Donghua Kingdom to maintain a fairly large standing army.
The feudal centralized management system makes Donghua's decision-making and execution efficiency very high.
The economic model of resource export has low investment and quick results. It has improved the financial difficulties of Donghua when it was first established.
Of course, the loans from the Renaissance Army and the large investments brought by businessmen made Donghua, who was originally prepared to suffer poverty, suddenly become rich.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so extravagant to ask Yangtze Security to help them fight this time.
The Yangtze River security team of 5,000 people costs a lot of money.
The slave owners in the south were so wealthy that at most they only dared to hire 10,000 Yangtze River security mercenaries.
Dong Shutong and Zhumu were ready to give their men more fuel.
"Military Honor!"
This term seems to be very ancient.
But it may not be useless if placed here in South Amelia.
Being knighted is not just a title. If that were the case, it would not be so attractive to ordinary soldiers.
Generally speaking, ennoblement gives you either land or money. These are real benefits.
However, there are fewer people and more land in Donghua, so land is naturally given.
In Dong Shutong's view, Donghua's anti-encirclement and suppression war could not fail, it could only win because it was alone.
As long as Donghua fails once, the surrounding anti-Donghua forces will become more united.
Therefore, Donghua cannot lose. If he loses once, he will be doomed.
Donghua can gain a lot of benefits every time he wins. Of course, the most important thing is the expansion of territory.
Dividing part of the land captured by these soldiers to the meritorious soldiers was like a white wolf with empty hands to Dong Shutong.
If Donghua had developed these lands by himself, Dong Shutong wouldn't have that many people.
But if the distribution is given to these officers and soldiers who have made meritorious service, Dong Shuheng should not have to consider the issue of people. Instead, the officers and soldiers who have made meritorious service should consider it themselves.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of taking power is to imitate the military merits of the Qin Dynasty and the military system of the Tang Dynasty." When Ma Chun heard that Dong Shutong proposed this bill, he immediately thought of this.
They originally thought that Dong Shutong was an indisputable person, but they did not expect that this elder brother was no less ambitious than his younger brother.
The most indispensable thing here in South Amelia is land.
Dong Shutong's move will definitely attract more people.
Those heroes and soldiers who will seal the land in the future will also find ways to recruit people.
As Chinese, we don’t have the habit of leaving our land uncultivated.
"Your Majesty, our two inland shipyards on the Wu River and the Lu River have been built. More than 100 marine diesel engines imported from China have been shipped there. In addition, we have also built two 3,000-meter shipyards in each of the two places.
tons of oil depots. Diesel is also imported from China." Ma Chun stood up and reported.
"Okay, that's great. You must seize the time to build the ship. If you don't have time to build the iron-hulled ship, build the wooden ship first. Use the hardest and best wood." Dong Shutong clapped his hands and applauded.
"There's no worries in the east!"
Why did you suddenly mention the shipyard?
Dong Shutong had discussed this with Tian Fang and others before.
If the Bushi people from the east came here, they would definitely come by water, because there are no roads at all in the vast Amazon rainforest.
Not only are there no roads, they are also full of dangers.
Therefore, they all felt that as long as there was a fleet of fast inland river naval forces, not only would they not have to worry about attacks from the Busi people, they would also be able to penetrate into the hinterland of Busi at any time.
The U River is the Ukaria River in later generations. This river originates from the middle part of the Andes Mountains, from the top of the Mismi Snow Peak on the east side of the Coropna Mountain in Donghua.
It is the true source of the Amazon River. It is the Wu River that continuously receives the gurgling ice water on the snowy peaks, collects water from hundreds of rivers, and enters the famous Amazon Plain.
The Lu River became the Purus River in later generations, and most of its drainage basin was in the Acre area.
The Acre area is an area in the southwest of the Amazon rainforest that the Kingdom of Donghua transferred from Bolivia.
Historically, it became an important rubber producing area, but was later snatched away from Bolivia by the Busi people.
But now Donghua has taken over this place first.
At the same time, a large number of Yin Di'an people were relocated to carry out early development.
The reason why some Yin Di'an people need to be moved here first is because there are still some more primitive Indian tribes living deep in the rain forest.
As long as people are sent in to develop it, conflicts will definitely break out. If the Yin Di'an people who are more familiar with the area are allowed to develop it, the losses will obviously be smaller.
Dong Shutong greatly lamented the speed at which his younger brother developed science and technology.
He has already seen a prototype of this diesel engine-driven inland river speedboat.
It is indeed much lighter and faster than a steam ship. The size of a diesel engine is only one-fifth the size of a steam engine with the same power.
This eliminates the need to build the ship too large and saves a lot of space.
Moreover, diesel has a long endurance, so you don’t have to worry about replenishing fuel midway. As long as you bring a few oil storage ships, you can reach the Amazon rainforest anywhere that is navigable.
The inland river speedboats now built by the Donghua Kingdom have a slightly flat bottom and a shallow draft, so they can adapt to most rivers without worrying about the risk of running aground.
This way you can navigate those tributaries in the rainforest.
The upstream water network of the Amazon rainforest is crisscrossed, and the water supply is extremely abundant all year round.
Although it is not the longest river in the world, it has the largest water volume and drainage area.
It doesn't take too many. A hundred of these diesel engine speedboats are enough to make Busey leak everywhere.
Busi's strongholds in the Amazon Basin are basically built along the river, and each one is not very large.
Each speedboat can transport approximately fifty soldiers and logistical supplies, and one hundred ships can transport five thousand people.
The five thousand people sent to any Busi stronghold in the Amazon Basin can form an absolutely superior force and easily capture it.
Based on this calculation, the Donghua Kingdom only needs to place one division in the eastern rain forest area.
This can save a lot of troops.
"Krupp, just let Sun Youchao's fifth division be responsible for defending the east. At the same time, let them do some adaptive training for marching on the river."
"In power, I understand. In this way, we only need to defend the northern and southern fronts with all our strength."
"Perhaps we should pay more attention to it. I still feel that the main attack of the coalition forces is on the northern front. If they take the southern front, they will have to march on the plateau and cross the Andes Mountains. Their logistical supplies cannot keep up, and our southern front is weak.
The area is sparsely populated and underdeveloped, and it is said to be a desert area. It is impossible for the enemy not to take this into consideration."
"It would be better if they really cross the border and attack from the southern front. We will let them in, then cut off their logistics supplies and retreat, and shut them down."
"So our main line of defense is still on the north line. The enemy is most likely to put the main attack line in I City. In this way, they can attack us from both directions of Ecuador and Colombria, and if they attack on the north line, their
Logistics supplies are also easier to transport."
Iquitos is the Iquitos region, which is just northwest of the Amazon plain, with the Orellana region of the Republic of Ecuador to the west and the Amazon region of Columbus to the north.
Moreover, the borders between Yicheng and both sides are plain areas, but most of the area is covered by rainforest, but there has been development here, and there are not no roads in the rainforest.
"So, Your Majesty, in power, I plan to combine attack and defense in the north. The eastern front will build a line in the Napo River and Amazon River Basin, with Yi City as the center of defense."
…
The Napo River flows into the Amazon River, showing an east-west direction, while the Uukalia River flows from the south and flows into the Amazon River dozens of kilometers north of Icity.
Yicheng is located just south of the confluence of three rivers, and is close to the Wu River. There is a port connecting the rivers to the north.
In this way, the Donghua Army can station a mobile force in Yicheng.
If imported diesel engines are used to urgently renovate a batch of ships, then Donghua can hold this release line with the minimum number of troops.
In this way, Tian Fang was able to concentrate a group of troops to launch an attack on Ecuador from the west.
They marched into Ecuador along the east and west foothills of the Andes Mountains, and then together with the Yangtze River security forces coming from the north, attacked Columbus from the north and south, forcing the coalition forces to retreat.
After Tian Fang explained his strategy, most of the people present agreed that his plan was better than blindly defending.
"Okay, Krupp, you decide the battle. Both the queen and the orphan trust you." Dong Shutong was the ruler of Donghua, and he was the king of the country. Naturally, he could also be called an orphan.
