Chapter 253(1/2)
"Damn the Germans!" Napoleon was so angry when he saw the battle reports coming from the front that he swept everything on the table to the floor.
This was a naked betrayal, and Napoleon felt that he had been played by the Germans.
For two years, the Germans hesitated on the battlefield, preserving their vitality to the greatest extent!
But in the past two years, the French fought with the Ming people to the last drop of blood in several battles.
More than 60% of the Ming casualties on the Russian battlefield came from the French army.
While inflicting heavy losses on the Ming Dynasty, the French, whose equipment and tactics were backward, also had to swallow the bitter fruit of massive casualties.
Now, the Germans, who had gathered their strength and strength, were here. They attacked the border cities of France unscrupulously. Even the troops that passed through Austria and retreated to France were attacked by the German army.
In Austria, a foreign country that had always been close to the Germans, these French troops had a very difficult time.
They were forced to get off the train and could not cross the Alps. Without supplies, crossing the Alps in winter was very dangerous.
Napoleon knew it, but he had nothing to do.
Because France could no longer gather the troops to respond to them.
But these French people still persisted in fighting, robbing when they had few items, and shooting when they ran out of ammunition.
Even if there is no transportation, we still have to grab it.
Wherever they went, they collected all the mules and horses they could find. Those working cattle were also slaughtered by them and used as military rations.
Austrians are already close to Germans, and many of them even have relatives living in Bavaria.
What the French are doing now has quickly angered the resistance of the Austrians. However, Austria is now extremely weak and no longer has the ability to expel these damn French.
Emperor Joseph sent an envoy to seek peace with the Ming Dynasty. He was willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but only asked the Ming army to enter Vienna as soon as possible to help the Austrians defeat the evil-doing French army.
Facts have once again proved that there is no such thing as ethics in the eyes of politicians. All they see is interests.
As long as their interests permit, let them do whatever they want.
Even if you compromise with your former enemies, you still have to kill Yuhi's allies.
Li Xiao did not let them wait long before agreeing to Joseph's request for surrender. Then, eight divisions of German troops marched into Austria.
This time, even if the French army didn't want to cross the Alps, it was impossible. Without ammunition supplies and no food supplies, how could an army like bandits defeat the German army supported by local people?
Li Xiao did not move because he knew it was not the time yet.
On September 29, Commander Aylmer of the Riga garrison announced that the Riga garrison formally surrendered to the Ming Empire.
And it was specifically stated that he surrendered to the Ming Empire.
Half an hour after the announcement of surrender, Swedish soldiers in the city organized a riot.
As a result, the riot was ruthlessly suppressed by Danish troops.
And soon, Denmark also sent a telegram to Ming Dynasty, expressing its intention to conduct peace negotiations with Ming Dynasty to end the two-year war.
The Swedish army was suppressed by the Danish army, and all walks of life in Sweden were furious. The Swedish king vowed to fight the Danes to the end.
Helplessly, the main Swedish force in the expeditionary force had been annihilated by the Ming Dynasty. Some of the remaining people were also killed by the Danes.
There are basically not many troops available in Sweden now!
With no other choice, the King of Sweden secretly sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to request peace talks, although he clamored fiercely.
The garrison of Riga surrendered, and the Norwegian army stationed in Smolensk no longer needed to hold on.
Just two days later, the Norwegian garrison at Smolensk also surrendered.
Since then, the hidden danger of the Nordic Allied Forces has completely disappeared.
The Russian army reopened its homeland and recaptured Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
Then they occupied Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.
After this war, Russia not only won back the territory it had lost in previous wars. It even expanded its territory a lot!
The Russians can finally feel proud!
Moscow sent countless reception officers and led the Russian army to the three Baltic countries and Belarus.
It's okay in Belarus, after all, it is the homeland of the Slavs, and they are relatively restrained.
But it's different in Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.
The Russian army's military discipline is broken here, and the soldiers dare to molest women wantonly on the street.
The receptionists are even more greedy and can take whatever they can. Good things in these places will be taken away as soon as they are found.
Then pack it up and send it back to Russia!
The locals dared to be angry but dared not speak out. They had no choice but to let themselves be defeated.
At this moment, the Ming army seemed unusually quiet.
All armored units have entered a rest period, and the air force's attendance rate has also been greatly reduced.
Except for some emergency tasks, basically we will not be dispatched if we can.
In the golden autumn of October, the streets and alleys of Russia were filled with Ming soldiers on leave.
Almost every Ming Dynasty soldier has a blonde girl beside him.
When a group of Ming soldiers walk down the street, there will be a group of blond girls.
I thought that the ruble had devalued due to the random currency issue.
The copper coins and silver coins of the Ming Dynasty became absolute hard currency.
It's a bit embarrassing to say that the only way for Russians to earn coppers and silver dollars is through fine wine and food, as well as women's breasts and butts.
"Commander, should we advance towards Eastern Europe?
Russia is still expanding westward, and they have already acquired a lot of Polish territory.
As for the German army, it seems that Warsaw will not be able to hold on for long."
Shi Dewei was very worried about the current situation. The war was not over yet, but the Ming army was showing signs of entering Kuma and releasing it into Nanshan.
The lower-level officers and soldiers in the army are also thinking about their military exploits and what jobs they will be assigned when they return to the country.
Many cases of the army selling seized materials have been investigated and dealt with, but so far there are still no signs of being eradicated.
Shi Dewei was worried that if this continued, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army would be ruined.
We are still talking about reaching Western Europe and controlling Europe.
"We must adapt to the current situation. We will station troops in Europe in the future. This situation will become the norm, and we must adapt.
It's good to be in Russia now, but in the future we will station troops in Germany and France.
Even Britain may have our troops stationed there.
Not to mention Gibraltar, what kind of territory that place is going to be.
Since you want to adapt, start from now on.
Besides, why are we going to Eastern Europe? The Germans successfully took Warsaw, although Warsaw has been turned into ruins.
The Russians occupied the eastern half of Poland, and the Germans occupied the western half.
Now, the Germans have a strong army and strong ambitions to defeat France and unify Europe.
If we move at this time, it will make the Germans uneasy."
"But King Joseph of Austria has asked us to garrison in Vienna several times.
If you look at the map, Vienna has a very good geographical location and can be called the heart of Europe.
I think it is necessary for us to occupy Vienna."
"That's okay. Choose a strong force to occupy Vienna. We will also declare our presence in Central Europe!
Moreover, Vienna also needs to build an airport. In the future, part of our air force will be stationed in Vienna.
Find a suitable army!"
"Why don't you send Master Man? The First Cavalry Division has made outstanding achievements in this war!"
"Master Man and Master Ao can't, they have other tasks.
Besides, they are armored troops and are not suitable to be stationed in or around cities.
Let’s find an infantry division. I think the Ninth Division is good. Let the Ninth Division garrison in Vienna!
There are traditional excellent teams that need to be preserved. You should first find someone to draw up a charter and see how those troops performed during this war.
As appropriate, some temporary editors will be turned into organizers. Those temporary numbers will also be turned into permanent numbers.
These numbers represent the blood and lives of many people. Once they are cancelled, it will break the hearts of the soldiers."
"No! I will send someone to do this."
"We don't want any help from the French and Germans. We just need to wait and see from behind!
The Germans now have strong troops, while the French are already exhausted. Although they have the advantage of fighting on the mainland, the German mainland is not far from the battlefield.
To be continued...
