"God, you actually have such evil thoughts. These Chinese are so barbaric. Don't they care about the lives of civilians?"

"Your Majesty, although this plan is unprecedentedly vicious, in the opinion of our staff, it should be true. The Chinese use big loudspeakers on the front line of the position to announce every day in Chinese, Spanish, and Thai languages, asking the residents of the Delta to come earlier.

We packed up our belongings and took refuge in higher ground. We even brought in some Siamese civilians who were related to the area under our control to send a message, asking the ordinary people here to quickly find higher ground and prepare to take refuge... In addition, the scouts we sent out are now along the Chao Phraya River.

It is very safe to go to Hebei. The Chinese deliberately opened up the construction site where they built the river dam for us to see. However, this kind of viewing is still limited by distance. When our scouts were still one or two kilometers away from the construction site,

The other side's scouts will come out to interfere."

"Madmen, what a group of madmen. No, they are not madmen, they are a group of cunning yellow-skinned monkeys. They don't want to launch a real water attack and destroy the delta. They want to scare us away."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Chinese's best choice is definitely to scare me away. But I believe that if we insist on not leaving, the Chinese will definitely dare to pour overwhelming floods towards us."

"Your Majesty, I must remind you that due to the propaganda offensive launched by the Chinese on the front line, not to mention the ordinary people in our control area, even our soldiers are in panic. According to the reports submitted by the division commanders below,

Our soldiers are also looking for high ground near their stations. In particular, the more than ten divisions stationed close to the Chao Phraya River have all submitted applications for defense changes..."

The huge two-meter-tall body sat down weakly. Gustav held his head in his hands and thought for a long time. Then he looked up at Major General Garcia, the Navy's liaison officer stationed at the General Staff Headquarters: "Sir, if the Army wants the Navy to help with the transfer,

, how many soldiers can the navy transport away at one time? How long will it take to turn around again? "

"Your Majesty, it depends on where you need the navy to transport you. At present, we can only dispatch more than two hundred transport ships within half a month... If you are going back to India, then the navy can transport you at most at one time

A round trip of 150,000 troops would take at most a month. And I must remind you that to transport 150,000 troops, the navy can no longer carry guns, ammunition and other things. Even food can only be transported

The capacity of the ship for one trip. If it is too much, the number of people on board will be reduced."

"No, we still have 420,000 troops. One hundred and fifty thousand rounds. If one round takes one month, it will take us three full months. Although I know that the Chinese do not want to conquer the Chao Phraya Delta through water attacks.

Destroyed, but I am also sure that the Chinese will not give us that much time."

"Then..." After looking at the chart for a long time, Garcia said: "Then I suggest this. The navy will send you to Chumphon Province first. From here to Chumphon Province? It only takes five days to go back and forth. In other words,

In 40 days at most, we can transport all the troops, equipment and a large amount of food to Chumphon. That place is the narrowest section of the Malay Peninsula. Although there is a mountain range, it is very thin.

It is not difficult for the army to cross over. After the navy transports you there, it sails through the Strait of Malacca without a load? Then it picks you up again on the west side of the Malay Peninsula? Then it goes to India."

"...I think this plan is good, Lord Wallenstein?"

"Okay, Your Majesty, we will follow Mr. Garcia's suggestion."

In mid-August 1641? After the Privy Council of the Ming Dynasty released the new "Jia Xu" battle plan, Cao Wenzhao and others, who had been prepared for a long time, took action quickly.

The army used part of its own military rations to recruit a large number of Siamese people to start construction of the Chao Phraya River embankment. And through various means, it spread the news that it was going to launch a water attack on the downstream Bangkok area.

In Siam, a place where rice is harvested three times a year, it has been more than thirty years since Luocha Buddha came to power. The people in this place have not known what famine is for the past two generations. So some time ago? The European Union Allied Forces

For example, after locusts passed through the border and plundered all the food along the way, the Siamese people in these places suddenly fell into a great panic: Are there not many old people who have experienced famine? This famine suddenly appeared, and the people everywhere had no idea what to do.

How to save yourself.

At this time, the military of the Ming Dynasty stood up and told everyone that we have food, but what? In order to get this food? You have to work for us - all of a sudden? Followers gathered: not to eat well, but to be full.

!

During the construction process, people vaguely heard that a dam was going to be built to drown the European white bark that occupies the outlet of the Chao Phraya River? Hey! It should have been like this a long time ago. These white bark have robbed our food and deserved to be killed.

Rush into the sea and drown. As for such a water attack, it may also cause disasters to the compatriots downstream? Humph, although we Siamese people do not know that a Taoist friend will die but a poor Taoist will die, but in this regard, it is either me or others who will die.

In terms of options, we still know how to choose.

Infrastructure madness is a racial talent of the Han people. Although most of the workers on the construction site are now Siamese, under the command of the engineering and technical personnel accompanying the Ming army, the entire Chao Phraya River embankment construction process started quickly.

The huge engineering scene not only frightened the EU scouts who the Ming army wanted to watch closely, but also forced Gustav and others to quickly make up their minds to move.

To transfer, it involves the question of where to transfer. In this regard, Gustav actually did not have many choices.

To the north, there is no need to think about it. There is a full 600,000 troops pressing on top of you. China and Europe have fought so many times, and both sides are very clear about each other's combat effectiveness: basically, when the strength of the troops is equal, the level of the commanders of both sides

When the gap is not big, in a fair field battle, both sides' battle losses will be similar. Therefore, 400,000 vs. 600,000, it is possible to rely on fortifications to defend, but the attacking side really cannot beat them.

Going south to occupy various large islands such as Indonesia in later generations? That makes no sense. Because in this plane, on the one hand, these islands are not populated enough and have no industrial base at all. On the other hand, those places are marginal areas. Even if they are occupied

Even if it fails, it will not be able to achieve the strategic goal of dismantling China's tribute system.

Besides, Gustav's soldiers have been on the expedition for many years since the expedition to India. Although these guys have gained a lot of wealth, the more wealth they gain, the more the soldiers cherish their lives: if they die,

Here, my wife takes the money she earned with her life to marry another man. Thinking about this image makes me feel sour.

Therefore, we must retreat to India, recuperate there, and then land again in Myanmar: it is very close from India to Myanmar, and the logistics support of our navy will become abundant and safe. And next to Myanmar is Siam - as long as

By occupying these two places, coupled with the navy's galloping in the South China Sea, China's vassal system will collapse sooner or later. In this way, His Majesty Philip's strategic goal can be regarded as the first step to be achieved.

Therefore, at the end of August, after Major General Garcia led a large number of transport ships to Bangkok, Gustav led the main force to retreat without hesitation.

Of course, when the main force retreats, it must leave behind a rear-cutting force. And this rear-cutting force will most likely never be able to return.

Such an important task was naturally given to Dulenni, who had already shown himself to be a famous general.

"Henry, after this break, I will give you ten divisions. Please don't force it. As soon as the main force is boarded, you can quickly retreat with the remaining troops."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will be the last one to board the ship."

"No, no, no, Henry, you are the commander-in-chief of the future army of the alliance. We must not lose you. What I mean is that when necessary, these ten divisions can be dispensed with, but you must withdraw."

"Your Majesty, I, Durenni, am not the one who abandons my soldiers and flees first. Yes, after this break, I don't know how many of these 150,000 people will die in battle. But I assure you, I will definitely be among the survivors.

The last one to board the ship."

"I have always admired your noble character, and you know that I have always supported your chivalry. But this time it really doesn't work. You must ensure that you can safely board the retreating ship

As for the safety of your troops, it is a secondary matter. Dear Henry, Lord Wallenstein and I are both old. In the future, the European armies will need you and Montecuccoli and Condé to command them. And I and I

Mr. Wallenstein unanimously believes that you are the most outstanding of the three young men. Therefore, you must retreat alive."

"Your Majesty, why do I feel something is wrong? Could it be that we have a special operation in another place? Such an operation will greatly offend the Chinese and make them no longer treat our prisoners favorably?"

"Hey, that's why I'm optimistic about you." Gustave put his arm around Dureny's shoulders and said in the lowest voice: "The Navy quietly told me that the captain sent by His Majesty Philip

The killer group has successfully landed in Songjiang Prefecture in mainland China and lurked under the cover of local businessmen. Forget it, if there is no opportunity for assassination, if there is an assassination operation, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, the angry Chinese will

We will definitely kill and capture prisoners. So, Henry, don’t be a hero this time. I will let Major General Garcia personally lead the fastest destroyer to wait for you in the Bay of Bangkok."

"...Your Majesty, Your Majesty Philip is doing this, is it..."

"Are you trying to say that this is very rude? Haha, Henry, you are too young. This huge war has been going on until now, and you still haven't understood it? We, the European Union and China, must fall one after another.

Only a war can end. And to defeat China?" The two-meter-tall giant man shook his head: "Pure military means are difficult to work. On the contrary, follow the suggestion of General Li Yongfang and assassinate the emperor.

, the most labor-saving way is to let the top Chinese people themselves become chaotic. Henry, if the assassination is successful, we Europeans will successfully ascend to the top of the world. We will naturally be able to gain the territory and wealth acquired in India and various colonies.

Preservation. And the young people in Europe don’t have to fall in this damn hot and humid rainforest... In short, you know, I also liked knight duels when I was young, but now..."
