On January 20, 958, Prince Heishanbao suddenly arrived in Hanzhou for a visit.
At the same time, a secret agreement signed between the Principality of Montenegro and the Hanzhou Autonomous Government was exposed.
With the approval of the Hanzhou Autonomous Government, the Black Mountain 2nd Mechanical Division and the 3rd Guards Division under the Northern Military District Headquarters of the Kingdom of Grifenni were stationed in Hanzhou.
At the same time, the Hanzhou National Guard was reorganized into the Hanzhou Division and became one of the military sequence units of the Kingdom's Northern Military Region.
As usual, the agreements were approved by parliament by a narrow margin.
At the same time, two of the five provinces south of the Yangtze River were not affiliated with the three provinces of the Principality of Montenegro. After the New Year, they held a referendum to change their flags and announced their integration into the Principality of Montenegro.
People in these provinces, seeing the rapid changes in the lives of the people of Montenegro and even the people of the original Jiangning Province, have the dream of Montenegro and yearn for a free and prosperous land.
Of course, the Ministry of Special Work has been vigorously publicizing in these provinces in recent years, saying that one point of wealth in the Montenegro Special Economic Zone is worth ten points.
Not to mention, Lu Ming has been operating the Montenegro Special Zone for seven or eight years and has extremely rich resources, which are simply not comparable to other areas in the principality.
But the Montenegrin dream is naturally full of temptation after publicity.
Among the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, only Gangwon Province, the most southeastern coastal province, is outside the Black Mountain system. Four years ago, a strong political man named Wang Minsheng came out of it, which took over the military and political power of Gangwon. It has ports along the coast, developed trade, and
Bypassing the multilateral system of the Principality of Montenegro and the Eastern Alliance, it has signed many agreements with members of the Eastern Alliance such as the Donghai Region, Leona State, etc., and vigorously developed this bilateral relationship to resist the penetration of the Montenegrin system in the Northern Territory.
and oppression.
In addition to Hanzhou, changes occurred in the five provinces south of the Yangtze River.
In Shengjing, the Black Mountain Treaty Organization, that is, the Principality of Black Mountain Fort, Longbei Autonomous Province (Ren Zhonglin), Longbei Democratic Province (Sun Gan), Beining Military Government (Han Renwang), Northern Xinjiang Autonomous Province (Qi Huaide), An
The six parties of the Shan Autonomous State (Miao Baifeng) signed a new "Collective Security Treaty" and formed the coalition headquarters.
According to the new agreement, Longbei Autonomous Province (Ren Zhonglin), Longbei Democratic Province (Sun Gan), Beining Military Government (Han Renwang), and Northern Xinjiang Autonomous Province (Qi Huaide) each dispatched two elite divisions, and Anshan Autonomous
Bang (Miao Baifeng) dispatched a brigade, plus four divisions from the Principality of Montenegro, to form the Northern Territory Peacekeeping Force, which was under the unified command of the Allied Forces Headquarters for training, deployment, etc.
Needless to say, the coalition headquarters is under the direct command of Prince Montenegro.
The coalition forces are said to have gathered for exercises in the desert area in western Sancai Province.
Sancai Province is the central region, and further west is the desert area and boundless desert.
Generally speaking, it is a missing piece of the imperial map. From a geographical point of view, if you go straight south from the deserts and even desert areas in the west of the three provinces of Sancai, you can reach the city-states of the Western Regions.
But its roads are extremely difficult to navigate. Not to mention the deserts farther west, let’s talk about the eastern areas, desert plateaus, hills and rivers. Until now, there has been no passage that can go south on a large scale. There were small private trade roads in the past, but from the northern regions to the Han Dynasty
After the establishment of the railway network from the prefecture to the western regions, no one left this small trade route. After all, the small carriage and horse trade routes that gradually formed in ancient times could be used to smuggle at huge risks, and with great luck, one could get rich.
But it is far less fast than railway lines and can transport large amounts of goods. It is also extremely dangerous.
Currently, the coalition forces are training in this area, and it is not known what the Prince of Montenegro wants to do.
…
Nicolo City First Sequence Headquarters.
In the conference room, the military meeting held by General Dönitz was to discuss a series of impacts brought by the Principality of Montenegro's garrison in Hanzhou.
Chief Bit's analysis was recognized by General Dönitz.
Chief Bit said, whether it is the Principality of Montenegro advocating for reconciliation between the north and the south in Japan to establish a coalition government and the establishment of the Japanese Central Defense Force; or it finally begins to fully control the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River; or it integrates the servant armies of its vassal warlords in the northern region; and then there is the garrison.
Hanzhou.
All these have only one intention, which is to seriously prepare for a possible war in the Western Regions, and to have a life-and-death contest with our kingdom in the Western Regions.
After Lu Ming finished speaking, the conference room immediately became buzzing, and many people shook their heads in disapproval.
Today's meeting was attended by hundreds of military officers. In the enlarged meeting held by Dönitz, the leaders of each major district branch and even the heads of the branch's main agencies were also in place.
Major generals like Lu Ming were sitting on both sides of the long table in the center of the conference room. Behind the long tables on both sides of the wall and rows of long tables on the west side were many colonel officers and even officers of the major level. Naturally, they were branch officers.
Someone comes.
"That's impossible!" Someone sneered from afar behind several rows of tables.
Lu Ming looked around and noticed that it was his old acquaintance Hengdeli, but he was sitting too far away and was very inconspicuous.
Looking at Lu Ming's eyes, he was full of jealousy.
With the protection of old General Hendry, Hendry was not implicated after the White Tower Massacre, but he did not receive a promotion.
Still in the New Fornia branch, he is the intelligence director of the New Fornia branch, and still has the rank of lieutenant colonel.
At this time, Hendry's face was full of ridicule, "Fighting us in the Western Region? Even Hanzhou is still thousands of kilometers away from here. When the time comes, we will blow up the railway lines and they will fly over to fight?"
Lu Ming smiled: "The garrison in Hanzhou mainly brings pressure to the northern border of our kingdom. But when it comes to flying, it is not necessarily impossible for the Montenegrins to fly over to fight. The Montenegrins were of great use in the battle to unify the northern region.
paratrooper."
Hendry hesitated, then sneered: "How many people can the paratroopers transport at one time? Can they transport heavy equipment? How do you compare the warlords in the northern region with the army of our kingdom?"
Lu Ming wanted to say something, but Dönitz waved his hand and looked at Hendry dissatisfied, "Although I want everyone to speak freely in this meeting, you must also use your brain." Even though he had a close friendship with the old Hendry, he still had a lot of friendship.
Hendry's major, he was also promoted to lieutenant colonel.
But in meetings of this level, Hendry Jr. has repeatedly contradicted his best assistant, making Dönitz suddenly hate him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as Dönitz spoke, the conference room immediately became extremely quiet.
"Prince of Black Mountain Castle, if you underestimate him even a little bit, then our prospects in the Western Region may not be bright! Now when we look back and analyze every step of his footsteps, you will be surprised! When Prince Black Mountain Castle was in the Northern Region, he was just
He started his journey to conquer the Northern Territory with perhaps 10,000 to 20,000 men. How many years had it been before? Those Northern Territory warlords were once behemoths in front of him, but who would have thought that he would use paratroopers? Use bombers? These military technologies
The leap, so to speak, all comes from the Prince of Black Mountain Castle.”
"He has lofty goals and a firm will! He may even have the support of unknown plutocrats and technical forces!"
Deniz paused, "So, who can say that he suddenly took out a secret weapon from his pocket and the Montenegrin army appeared in the Western Region?"
"We are in the Western Region. Once we launch a war to attack the Western Black Mountain Fort, we must be prepared to start a war with the main force of the Principality of Montenegro. If we do not have this awareness and start a war rashly, we are likely to fail!"
The generals were all silent.
Lu Ming felt a shiver in his heart, but he didn't expect that he thought so highly of himself, but this was not good news.
Dönitz glanced at Lu Ming, with an encouraging look, and softened his tone, "Colonel Bit analyzed it very well, and said what I wanted to say, for the Montenegrins, for the Prince of Montenegro, no matter how much we overestimate, for us
Intelligence departments are all necessary. What we fear most is a little bit of contempt and underestimation of him. Whether it is his personal enemies or the enemies of the country he leads, those who underestimate him have tasted a painful price. On this point, we
Be sure to remember!”
All the officers sat upright and listened to his lecture.
In Lu Ming's heart, he didn't know what it felt like.
