Galloya's reaction was as expected by Li Shaoquan.
In the subcontinent, the development of the Kingdom of Myanmar has entered a bottleneck.
Their land has been completely surrounded by the Renaissance Army and the Holy Kingdom, except for the long coastline.
What Li Shaoquan gave him was an opportunity to break the situation.
The next step is to negotiate how many soldiers to send and the final distribution of benefits.
This kind of lobbying is what Confucian scholars are good at.
At the second stop, Li Shaoquan went to Calcutta and met Shi Dakai.
There is still some overlap between the two.
After being introduced by Zeng Disheng, Li Shaoquan returned to his hometown in Luzhou and originally planned to organize a team to practice long hair.
It was the Huai Navy that occupied Huaibei first and interrupted Li Shaoquan's plan.
Otherwise, the two of them might still meet on the battlefield.
But now the fate of both of them has changed. One has become the leader of the Holy Kingdom of the Subcontinent, and the other has become a local official and plenipotentiary representative of the Renaissance Army.
As a representative of the Kingdom of China, Li Shaoquan saw that Shi Dakai did not need to give a big salute.
Shi Dakai had already learned about the Renaissance Army's plan from Chen Yucheng.
There are two points that he cares about most. One is the issue of command authority of the army.
To be honest, he was not at ease about completely handing over the command of the army to the Fuxing Army.
In addition, the battlefield will definitely be within the territory of the Holy Kingdom, because the Holy Kingdom now directly borders Mumbai.
The central plateau area will be the main battlefield area.
Another issue is the distribution of land after the war. Will there be a situation where after this war, the land of the Holy Kingdom will be less than it is now.
In that case, what's the point of fighting this war for the Holy Kingdom?
When Shi Dakai said this, Li Shaoquan retorted: "Holy King, you can't say that. The Holy Kingdom has occupied a lot of land now, but if the forces of all parties are not united, will the Holy Kingdom be able to defend it in the end?"
What Li Shaoquan said was actually quite rude.
He was not worried about angering Shi Dakai, because even if the Holy Kingdom did not agree, the Renaissance Army had already united with other forces.
By that time, even if the Holy Kingdom is defeated by Da Ying's army, the Renaissance Army will have the confidence to unite with the remaining forces to block Da Ying's army.
At least it is impossible for the Holy Army to cooperate with the Yin Army.
In other words, the Holy Army can only choose to cooperate with the Renaissance Army, but the Renaissance Army does not have to unite with the Holy Army.
"Master Li, if our Holy Kingdom sends troops, it will definitely be the party that bears the greatest military pressure, so we must have certain command rights in the coalition forces." Shi Dakai began to make his own demands.
This request was expected by Li Shaoquan, and the Renaissance Army must respond.
He said directly: "That's no problem. The Holy King can send a general to the headquarters to serve as deputy commander-in-chief. And this headquarters adopts a collective decision-making method."
Shi Dakai nodded, so that he could ensure that his people would not be sent as cannon fodder: "Okay, I will let the King of England enter the headquarters. Mr. Li, I estimate that the battlefield is most likely to be where we are currently confronting the Yin army. So the battle
It's best to build the defenses first. I heard that the engineering troops of the Renaissance Army are very good. Could you please contact the commander-in-chief, Mr. Li, to send some engineers to guide us in building the defenses."
"In addition, we also need a batch of heavy artillery. I heard that the enemy troops this time are carrying new types of guns. There is not much difference between our guns and them, but the artillery is much worse."
"Holy King, I will report this to Commander Peng, and I also hope that the Holy Army will make preparations, but the Yin Army will not give us time to prepare. The first one to bear the brunt now is your Holy Kingdom. If the Holy King cannot hold on here, you can also
The defense line should move back a little." Li Shaoquan advised, and there was some irritation in his words.
"Master Li, please rest assured that the Holy Council will hold on until the coalition forces are in place." Shi Dakai was very confident in his own people, and at the same time he did not want to show weakness in front of Li Shaoquan.
The Yin army currently only has 50,000 troops. Even if they mobilize more troops later, they will still need to be repaired. It is impossible to directly recruit them to launch an attack.
So Shi Dakai thinks they can still hold on recently.
"There is another matter, the post-war land distribution. I think we should discuss it first, and at least determine the principles of distribution." Shi Dakai added.
This is the issue he is most concerned about. The Holy Army must be the one who contributes the most, so it will naturally get more. If the Renaissance Army and several other forces finally unite to put pressure on the Holy Kingdom, Shi Dakai feels that he seems to be too.
Can't stop it.
Therefore, key issues such as benefit distribution must be discussed in advance.
"The Holy King's proposal is very good. The distribution after the war will try to take into account the integrity of each force's jurisdiction, and also consider the amount of everyone's contribution. This is the most basic principle. Other forces also agree with this principle, how about it?
"
"Then I have no problem here. Let's work together to drive away the Japanese people."
The next itinerary is much simpler. Zhang Deshuai has basically negotiated it, and Li Shaoquan only needs to go through a formality.
The Northern Alliance was okay, unlike the Southern Alliance, they didn't have any regular soldiers.
They can also harass the army in the jungle. On the front battlefield, these Tamils can only be regarded as cannon fodder.
Soon the coalition was initially established, and Burma sent 100,000 troops. The Holy Army was unwilling to lag behind and wanted to maintain its position as the leader, so it sent 120,000 troops.
The Northern Alliance sent 50,000 troops, the main force of which was actually the 20,000 Zhangxi Cavalry directly under Bayi Nu.
The Confederacy sent 50,000 troops, and most of these 50,000 troops were ultimately used as support troops.
The Gurkhas sent 30,000 troops, led by Liao Xiangdong. This time the Gorkha Kingdom was able to use all its strength.
You must know that these dispatched troops have to carry their own supplies of food and grass.
The commander of the Renaissance Army provided them with some weapons as replacements.
King Surendra made up his mind to get another piece of flat land for Gorkha this time.
The plain area north of the Ganges River that was previously allocated to the Gorkhas has already allowed the Gorkhas to eat rice.
If they could get another piece of land, the Gorkha royal family might be able to live a more comfortable life.
Some other small countries in Shannan are too small to send troops, or they have no territorial claims due to their geographical location.
These are the five main countries that send troops, and of course there are 50,000 people from the Renaissance Army.
As for Aiwuhan, it is separated from the subcontinent by Peshawar.
Send people from the Western Regions to specifically contact you, and then, based on the battle situation here, attack Dayang's army separately from another direction.
The Western Theater Command of the Renaissance Army may also send troops to support them.
Just as the Renaissance Army was weaving a large net for the Dagu Army in the subcontinent.
On the continent of Europa, a war brewing between Prussia and Austria finally broke out.
The ancient Holy Roman Empire existed in Europe for more than 800 years.
It is a loose association of the German nation and a political arena where the princes and nobles of the German states constantly compete for German leadership.
The two protagonists on this stage have always been Austria and Prussia.
Although the great empire declared its disintegration in 1806 under the coercion of French Emperor Napoleon I, its internal struggles were still fierce for more than half a century after its disintegration.
It's time to end the German infighting.
In front of the tall floor-to-ceiling windows of Charlottenburg Palace, William I looked out the window at the slowly falling winter snow.
Against the backdrop of the white snow, the trees in the Palace Square seemed to turn blue-black.
Everything is so solemn and solemn.
This was the first snow in 1960.
Behind him stood two men. Apart from him, these two were the two most powerful men in Prussia at present.
"Are you all ready?" William I asked.
"Everything is ready, Your Majesty the King. The Austrian army will organize 80,000 people into the Southern Army to deal with the Italian army; the remaining troops will be organized into the Northern Army to deal with us; after receiving reinforcements from the Saxon Army, the army will have a strength of 261,000.
General Benedek has unified the command and has assembled in Moravia in northern Austria. It is the main opponent to resist our southward attack from Silesia." Chief of Staff Moltke reported.
William I officially took over as King of Prussia in October last year.
He is not a newbie, he has already managed the country as regent before this.
In the past two years, he appointed Mr. Iron-Blooded and General Moltke to carry out reforms in the internal affairs and the army, which greatly improved Prussia's economic and military level.
Even surpassing Austria in many aspects.
Mr. Iron-Blooded even used the Holstein and Schleswig issues after the Prussian-Danish War to successfully provoke Austria to declare war on Prussia.
Although they are both German brothers, everyone knows that the future German Empire cannot tolerate these two brothers.
"How prepared are we?" asked William I.
"According to the combat plan we have formulated, our army will use railway transportation lines to implement strategic transportation and use telegraphs for unified command, thereby overcoming the difficulties caused by long-distance maneuvers and external operations."
"We will gather 250,000 troops and 800 artillery pieces to the border area of Saxony and Austria in the shortest possible time, completing the assembly and deployment on a front with a width of about 420 kilometers."
"According to the combat deployment, our army will be divided into three armies on this expected main battlefield: the Elbe Army, commanded by General Herwart Bittenfeld, with about 46,000 people, deployed on the east-west line of Leipzig; the 1st Army
, commanded by Prince Friedrich Karl, with about 93,000 people, deployed east of the Elbe River to Görlitz; the 2nd Army, commanded by Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, with about 115,000 people, was deployed at Görlitz
They will gather from the east to the Oder River."
…
Chief of Staff Moltke's answer was very detailed, and even every number was accurate.
Moreover, when he talks about the battle plan, he will talk endlessly, which is completely different from his usually taciturn character.
"Okay, I understand. As promised before, I will not interfere with your command. I only want the result of victory. The Prussians cannot accept defeat." William I waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Chief of General Staff Mao Qi nodded.
"Otto, are you ready for what will happen after our victory? We must make long-term plans." William I turned to Mr. Iron-Blooded and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as we win, everything will be easy to talk about. The most important thing is to drive Austria out of the Confederation, and we will gain the power to establish the German Federation. I have said before that if Prussia wants to rise, it must
If you want to fight against France, you must integrate the power of the entire North Germany. An isolated Prussia will also be constrained by neighboring countries and cannot fight against France."
"Okay, Otto, no matter what, I will support you, the army will support you, and all Prussian citizens will support you."
On December 3, the Austro-Prussian War officially started, and European countries called it the "War of Brothers" in Germany.
With the completion of the Prussian army's strategic deployment, the two sides began to exchange fire, and the war progressed rapidly.
However, the entire war was launched on three battlefields at almost the same time. The decisive combat action took place on the Bohemian battlefield, which determined the fate of the war.
On the southern front, the Italian battlefield, the Austrian and Italian armies clashed. From the beginning of the war, the situation was favorable to Austria.
Originally, the armies of the Italian states took the initiative to attack the Austrian army led by General Albert.
However, on December 4, in the first battle between the two armies in Custozza, the Italian army, dominated by the Kingdom of Sardinia, was defeated miserably. The officers and soldiers fled in all directions, to the point where they were unable to fight anymore.
.
The Austrian army may have learned the lessons of its previous defeat. The Kingdom of Sardinia was proud of its victory in the previous Three Kingdoms War.
Garibaldi's strategy of not seeking a decisive battle with the Austrian army, avoiding its main force, and luring the enemy deeper was ignored.
After all, the Kingdom of Sardinia was afraid of Garibaldi.
The defeated Confederate forces retreated to Milan.
The Austrian army pursued them, but were ambushed in Trento by more than 10,000 volunteers led by Garibaldi.
After receiving funding from Wang Tao and secret support from Prussia, this volunteer army was all equipped with Prussian-made Mauser rifles.
This was a newly developed breech-loaded gun by Prussia, which replaced the original breech-loaded striker gun.
This breech-loading gun is very suitable for the flexible fighting style of these Italian volunteers.
They can hide themselves and shoot at enemies.
It can't be beaten, but it's easy to run.
The Austrian army, which was originally preparing to pursue, was suddenly caught off guard.
The national troops from various countries that had retreated before were also disgraced and fought back.
Garibaldi was best at fighting this kind of mountain guerrilla warfare in the Alps.
Bismarck was very annoyed at the lack of combat effectiveness of his allies, and was glad that he had made a fool of himself with Garibaldi.
At least for now, the Italian army has held back the Austrian Army's Southern Army.
On the Western Front, the German battlefield, there was an attack by the Prussian army against some members of the Austrian camp.
After the declaration of war, the Prussian army quickly entered Austria's allies Hannover, Hesse-Gassel and Saxony and other adjacent countries.
The armies of these countries retreated steadily under the powerful power of the Prussian army. The Saxon army was forced to retreat to Moravia, where it joined the Austrian army and merged into the Northern Army commanded by General Benedek.
.
Everything before seems to be a prelude, and the real war will begin now.
On December 7, General von Falkenstein led more than 50,000 Prussian troops to advance near Langensalza, where they defeated the Hanoverian army and besieged the city of Hanover.
On December 9, King Ogerg of Hanover announced his surrender. After that, Falkenstein sent his army south, preparing to occupy Frankfurt first, and then march to Baden and Württemberg.
On the northern front, the Bohemian battlefield, the main assault was launched by the Prussian army.
At first, Moltke ordered three armies to move east: the 1st Army to advance east of the Ness River, the 2nd Army to the area east of Görlitz, and the Elbe Army to move south along the Elbe River to the right wing of the 1st Army.
Get closer.
Then they rejoined the 1st Army Corps.
At this time, Moltke learned that the Austrian army was advancing from Moravia to the northwest border, so he made an immediate decision and ordered the 2nd Army to cross the Sudeten Mountains, return to the front, and advance southwestward.
The 1st Army and the Elbe Army marched along the passes of the Erzgebirge Mountains and marched south of the mountains.
In this way, the Prussian army formed a pincer offensive, divided into separate attacks, and first destroyed the main force of the Austrian army commanded by Benedek, and then went straight to Vienna.
This northern line is the most important of the three-way battlefield.
