ps: There is another chapter ahead, which may take a while to come out. It’s just in time for Sunday. Unfortunately, there are actually two updates today.
"Zheng Jian, I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that you got married?" Dong Shuheng asked with a smile.
Zheng Jian still had the same wooden face as before, and there was never any emotion visible on his face.
"Yes, President, he married a daughter-in-law and continued the family line."
"Okay, let's get down to business. The intelligence of Tsarist Russia is now under your control. What are they busy with recently?"
"Alexander II is on a tour to the east, but he is not just going out to meet you to cover up his whereabouts."
"He is really on a tour of the east this time. I have reported to you before that Tsarist Russia is undergoing a reform. It allows those serfs who were originally landless to redeem their land and enhance their rights. This tour, the tsar is just to check
The fruits of reform.”
"There is another thing. Orenburg and Omsk in Tsarist Russia are currently undergoing expansion. This time Tsarist Russia moved hundreds of thousands of people from the west to here."
…
The purpose of the Tsarist Russians could not be more obvious. They wanted to strengthen the construction of the eastern region. It seemed that Alexander II had no intention of giving up the eastern lands.
"President, these information are indeed a bit too general, and our intelligence network is not penetrated carefully enough. However, a lot of work in Tsarist Russia has just been completed, and more detailed information will come later."
"President, the Russians seem to be very interested in ironclads. They have ordered two ironclads in Prussia and France."
"Oh, Prussia also helped Tsarist Russia build ships? Interesting."
The main ports of Tsarist Russia are now in the Baltic Sea, and Prussia has just passed the Prussian-Danish War and became the little overlord of the Baltic Sea.
It is a little hard to fathom that they agreed to help Tsarist Russia build ships at this time.
Doesn’t this create a competitor for yourself?
It is understandable that the Great Empire does not help them build it, because the Great Empire is currently storming ships, and Dong Shuheng knows it.
Otherwise, why has he been irritating the Great Empire so much recently? If there is going to be a battle with the Great Empire, now would be the best time.
Although he is currently in the Western Region, he has actually made arrangements for this matter in advance.
Recently, everyone's attention has been attracted to Xiangjiang.
But this is just a smokescreen put out by Dong Shuheng.
An important reason for his current western tour is to confuse the enemy. He wants to do something big.
"Our people have sneaked into the construction sites of Orenburg and Omsk. Try to get the blueprints of these two fortresses."
"Well, I understand. You have done a good job. Please cooperate with Wang Congzhi to make preparations for this meeting."
In the following time, Dong Shuheng inspected various places while waiting for the date of meeting.
Especially some new cities around Yibohai.
…
…
At this time, in South Amelia, the war had been going on for more than a month.
On the eastern battlefield of the Northern Front, the coalition forces were still storming the Donghua Army's Napo River defense line.
In the western battlefield, the Donghua Army has penetrated Ecuador's coastal defense line.
Liu Qingnan has also headed south along the coast with the main force of Yangtze River Security, and the two sides will soon be able to join forces.
Judging from the battlefield shape, the Donghua Army still has the advantage.
At this time, the coalition forces could actually make changes, but they seemed to be in conflict with the Donghua defensive forces on the eastern front.
It cannot be said that there is something wrong with General Reyes' command. The Donghua Army's defense line on the eastern front is really riddled with holes and is about to be broken through.
The casualties of the Donghua Army were also very huge. The casualties of the Donghua Army originally on the eastern battlefield had reached more than 20,000.
However, every time when the coalition forces were preparing to cross the river, they were always attacked by large-scale Donghua army fleets, which could quickly move across the river.
After repelling the coalition forces crossing the river, they will soon transport a large number of people from the rear.
The Kingdom of Donghua has carried out a second domestic mobilization and once again recruited 50,000 militiamen to the battlefield on the northern front.
This will cause huge harm to Donghua's economy and social production.
However, Dong Shutong had no way, and Donghua had no way to stop the war on his own initiative.
The enemy in the north fought very resolutely, and Colombria and Ecuador tried their best to keep the western coastal areas and continue the war.
Naturally, this includes the determination brought by the support from Britain and France, as well as their own helplessness.
In the palace of Cusco, Zhumu personally carried a tray of food to Dong Shutong's study.
Although she was the queen, the main political affairs were handled by Dong Shutong.
What they are doing now is mainly coordinating material supplies between the north and south lines.
Dong Shutong also had to coordinate internal production despite the lack of manpower.
The north-south span of Donghua is very long, almost running through the entire southern hemisphere. In the north is the tropical rain forest close to the equator. In the south, Cape Horn faces Antarctica.
Therefore, in August and September, it is already winter in the southern Chili region, but the climate in the north is still hot.
He is now using ships to transport the labor force in Maodong in the south to the north to support production here.
Although there is a war going on on the eastern front, the second season of rice planting has already begun on the Amazon plain in the Yicheng area.
This requires a large amount of labor, but for the war on the front line, a large number of militiamen from the Yicheng area were mobilized, resulting in a large shortage of labor force.
In recent days, Dong Shutong could only sleep three or four hours a day, and spent all the other time working.
Just transporting materials and manpower has consumed all his energy.
"Husband, please rest for a while and then work again!" Zhumu was not good at these things. She could only attend some public events to cheer up her subjects.
"Hey, why are you bringing the food here in person? Where are the attendants?" There are female attendants in the palace who are usually responsible for service work. Zhu Mu has to take care of the children and deal with some government affairs, which is also very hard.
"I sent the attendant to the factory to help. I don't know how long the war will last. The arsenal is now short of people."
"Why don't you send a message to my second brother and ask them to support some more people? After all, we in Donghua only have the power of one country."
"We don't need to tell you this. It will take a month or two at the fastest for the situation here to be reported back. Everything he can think of will be arranged in advance. Besides, we still have a big advantage now."
"Well, I'm just a little worried. Now we have used all the bargaining chips we can."
"Don't worry, I believe in our soldiers. If we don't have confidence, then the people below will have even less confidence."
Due to the continuous war, Donghua lacked time to cultivate and recuperate, and the immigrants went to the battlefield before the good life they expected was realized.
Therefore, the war cannot be prolonged for too long, otherwise Donghua will collapse internally first.
"The commander of the battlefield on the northern front captured a lot of supplies. Yangtze Security did not need us to pay this time. Their battle went smoothly and they got a lot of things in Columbus."
"Now it's time to look at the battlefield on the southern front. I think that's where the breakthrough will be. I asked the envoy to see the President of Perivia. The war has been going on so far and they haven't done anything at all. They have to pay a sum of money and food no matter what."
"Well, I believe you, Shutong. There is something I want to discuss with you..." Zhumu proposed that she wanted to go to the southeast battlefield to conquer in person. She also saw that the southeast battlefield is the breakthrough. The troops of the Tingen Federation are now
They were all dragged at the mountain pass without any money. If a cavalry unit penetrated directly into the enemy's rear at this time, it might be a breakthrough to force the enemy to surrender.
"What, you are going to the southeast front line, are you worried about the sentries?"
"Mashao, after all, is still young. When the time comes, he will have to fight jointly with the Mapuche people. I'm worried that he won't be able to control them."
"If you really want to make up your mind, I won't stop you blindly." Dong Shutong knew that his wife was actually very independent.
"However, I have to ensure your safety, otherwise there will be no point in doing so many things over the years, do you understand?"
"Thank you, Shutong." Zhumu hugged Shutong into his arms.
They had agreed to build a powerful country united by Chinese and Yin Di'an people.
Valley aluminum
This is the common goal of both of them.
By this time the battle in Sucre was coming to an end.
The Yin Di'an cavalry led by Ma Shao finally broke into the city after suffering thousands of casualties.
The Yin Di'an people are no longer what they used to be. With Donghua's support, although their weapons are not as good as those of white people, the gap is not that big.
It was easier to go around to Lucang in the south of the city. They used mortars to pry open the obstacles at the intersection, and then rushed into the city under the cover of machine guns. Their lances had a fast rate of fire and were effective in close combat.
important role.
The violent street fighting did not occur as imagined, because the Braguayan army had not yet had time to occupy the residents' houses.
Those residents who locked themselves in their homes did not know who to help, so they simply stayed in their own homes.
In the end, under attack from the north and south, the remaining rebels and the Braguayan army could only retreat to a few cathedrals in the city to resist.
"Hello, are you the commander of this Donghua army?" A Polivia officer wearing a captain's uniform ran up to Lu Cang and said.
Lu Cang's army made faster progress and rescued the besieged Rona Pacheco.
After fighting against the Donghua cavalry and annihilating the army that besieged him, Rona Pacheco met a young Chinese officer.
"No, I'm not. Can you still fight?"
Although there were only a few hundred of Rona Pacheco's men left, he still nodded as he wanted to avenge his father.
They chased the enemy and came to the church in the city. At this time, the horse sentry also attacked.
They were cavalry and were very fast, so most of the enemies were wiped out on the road.
Both sides of the road were littered with the corpses of Perivian rebels and Prague troops.
Ma Shao saw Lu Cang, and the two looked at each other and smiled. This time they cooperated well.
He also saw the young white officer standing next to Lu Cang.
"Lu Cang, who is this?" Ma Shao asked.
"This is the son of the former city guard. His name is Rona Pacheco."
"Well, Rona, it's good of you to be able to persist for such a long time under the siege of the enemy."
Rona also looked at the horse whistle. He did not expect that this young man from Yin Di'an, who was about the same age as himself, was actually the commander of this army.
This is the commander of a large cavalry force of tens of thousands of people.
"Thank you, General, for the rescue." Rona did not dare to look at the Yin Di'an people as before. After all, now that there is the Donghua Kingdom, the Yin Di'an people are no longer second-class people in Perlivia.
Besides, it was someone else who saved me now.
"Captain, they hid in the church, what should we do?" Lu Cang asked from the side.
"Of course it's a damn thing." Ma Shao spoke and acted like a Chinese, only he looked like a Yin Di'an.
The horse guard ordered people to collect all the artillery scattered in the city, aim them all at the church where the rebels were basically hiding, and start bombarding them.
It can be seen that these people will not last long.
Ma Shao didn't want to waste too long. He was eager to enter Braguay and the Tingen Federation.
Before setting off, Dong Shutong told him the purpose of the battle.
Although his army here is small in manpower, it is indeed the key force to force the coalition to cease the war.
All other armies were in a stalemate with the enemy's main force.
…
At this time, in the city of Neuquén, nearly 50,000 Mapuche Yintian people gathered here and headed north in a mighty manner.
Ulasi, the big leader of the Mapuche people, summoned almost all the warriors from each tribe who could ride horses.
They are going north.
For so many years, white people have been suppressing them, and their counterattacks have always been small-scale.
Today, they are finally going to launch a massive counterattack.
Yan Sen told them that they would not encounter too powerful enemies on this trip, and all they had to do was "rob".
Every soldier is full of confidence in this trip.
So many people and horses were like locusts, wading across the Colorado River and entering the Pampas.
There are white pastures everywhere here, and the livestock seem to be waiting for the Mapuche to rob them.
…
Bernasconi.
The old shepherd Karmapa Simon rode his horse to the cattle pen of the pasture, ready to start a new day.
Behind him were a dozen middle-aged men. Originally there were more people on the ranch, but because of the war, the young men were all recruited.
The manpower was suddenly reduced by half, but the cattle and sheep still had to graze.
The ranch has recently lost more than a dozen cattle due to lack of manpower.
The rancher got angry more than once. As the old rancher and the leader of the cowboys, he knew very well that no one was lazy.
With such a small number of people looking after so many cattle and sheep, it is inevitable that mistakes will occur.
"Boom~Boom~"
This is not thunder. As an old herdsman, Karmapa Simon knows very well. This is the sound of a large group of horses galloping.
Where are so many cavalry?
Could it be that the army has returned in triumph? How could it be so fast?
Almost everyone in the army recruited by the Tingen Federation has a horse. After all, this is the best grassland in Amelia.
This is because they are attacking a mountain pass. Their cavalry cannot exert any advantage other than marching with less effort.
Karmapa Simon rode their horses towards the direction of the sound.
He was stunned by the sight in front of him. Countless Yin Di'an cavalry came like a tide.
Simon turned and ran.
"The Mapuche are coming, run!"
Simon shouted as he ran.
But in this endless prairie, where can he run?
"Hahaha, Mr. Yan, Her Majesty the Queen has arranged a really good job for us this time." Ulasi said with a smile. He was holding a roasted leg of lamb in his hand.
The white woman wearing maid clothes stood there shivering next to her.
"That's natural. How could Her Majesty the Queen harm her own ministers? As long as you, Chief, are loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, the Mapuche tribe will surely become more and more prosperous in the future."
"That's natural. Our Mapuche tribe is absolutely loyal to the queen."
This time, the Mapuche warriors rushed into the Pampas grassland under the rule of the Tingen Federation and encountered no decent resistance at all.
The reason is naturally because a large number of young people from the Tingen Federation have been recruited to fight.
"However, Chief, we have to be fast. The cattle and sheep can be driven back with a few people first. The main force cannot stop. We have to destroy more pastures before the Tingen people return to help." Yan Sen said.
He didn't care how cruel these Mapuche people were, as long as he could force the Tingen Federation to withdraw, his plan would be realized.
