The Great Yin Empire's Far East dispatched troops to attack the city and finally reached the Erode area. Most of the troops of the Ao country encountered along the way were composed of a small team, and the larger ones were a squadron of soldiers. These troops of the Ao country were busy.

Burning, killing, and plundering could not withstand the impact of tens of thousands of troops from the Great Yin Empire. In a short time, they were submerged under the powerful firepower of the Great Yin Empire. Therefore, the Yin Army's progress along the way was very smooth.

The illusion created by the army of the Great Yin Empire was very successful, making the army of the Great Yin Empire believe that the army of the Great Yin Empire was looting and plundering everywhere, and its troops were scattered. However, when the army of the Great Yin Empire arrived at Erode, they encountered a strong resistance from the army of the Great Empire.

The Chinese army has changed from its weak position some time ago and has built a solid defense line on this line. It seems that it will resist resolutely and will never easily let the Great Yin Empire army continue to advance.

The fighting on the front line was fierce, with one side trying to attack and the other resolutely defending. The two sides refused to give in. The troops in the front were blocked, and the follow-up troops of the Great Yin Empire accelerated their advance and came over one after another. Eighty thousand troops gathered at Erode.

In this area, Alexander, the commander of the headquarters of the Great Yin Empire's dispatched troops in Yindu, was pacing back and forth in the room, feeling a little impatient because he had just

At the beginning of the march, the Great Yin Empire army went so smoothly that they let the victory go to their heads and promised the Great Yin Empire authorities to eliminate the army of the Qi Kingdom within a month and threatened to drive them into the sea. The Great Yin Empire authorities have sent back instructions,

The safety of the Yindu colonies is entirely dependent on the Great Yin Empire dispatching troops to the Far East. It is no longer possible for the Great Yin Empire to send additional troops to Asia.

Now, the military operations of the Yindu Colony are fully entrusted to the command of Alexander, the commander of the Far East Expedition Force. Now trouble is coming. In the past few days, the Great Yin Empire’s Far East Expedition Army has invested heavy troops in attacks. The war has been bloody and bloody, and the army has suffered a lot of casualties.

There have been more than 5,000 casualties in just three days. The problem is that the army has not made any progress. The strict defense of the Chinese army has made Alexander

The commander was at a loss. After thinking for a while, Alexander stopped and said to Chief of Staff Allen: "It seems that the Chinese army has been assembled. Our advance is still a bit slow. We are only a few hundred miles away from defeating the enemy."

The Chinese army rushed to the sea. Chief of Staff Allen asked all ministries to strengthen the offensive and must break through the current defense line. We cannot fall short of the success."

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have learned that there are about 50,000 troops from the weak country currently blocking us. They are blocking us very resolutely. It may be difficult to break through in a short time. Besides, they have been constantly attacking us for the past few days.

The attacking troops are exhausted. I think we should first stabilize the position, and then reinforce some troops from other places to form an absolute advantage before making plans. What do you think?" Chief of Staff Allen persuaded unhurriedly.

"Okay, let's stabilize the position first and let the soldiers take a rest. However, there are not many troops in other places. How can an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people cover such a large area?" Commander Alexander couldn't help but worry.

, and then said to Chief of Staff Allen, "Then let the local security be increased by Yindu people."

Some unimportant places will be garrisoned by the Yindu army. Our Great Yin Empire army will transfer another 20,000 people, and then 50,000 people will be transferred from the Yindu army. In this way, the total of 150,000 troops will be enough for a little devil to eat.

Yes, well, just arrange it like this." Alexander said to the chief of staff confidently.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. However, it would be good if the reinforcements can arrive in half a month. It will take a long time." The chief of staff said with concern.

"Chief of Staff Allen, there is nothing we can do about this. We have promised the Great Yin Empire government to take down the current enemy within one month and regain the lost territory in the southern region. However, look at the battle in the past few days, there has been no progress at all.

What's going to happen if this continues? We have no way to explain it to the empire. There's one more thing

At this point, it is impossible for the Great Yin Empire to send more troops from its homeland. We can only rely on ourselves to destroy these armies. If we do not seize the time to defeat them, if the little devils come to reinforce their troops from their homeland, then we will be able to

It’s really troublesome.” Commander Alexander said with a heavy heart.

"Well, if there really happens to be what you call the Ao country's troops from the mainland to Yindu, we will be in big trouble. It seems that we must quickly increase our attack power and strive to defeat the Ao country's army in the shortest time. The situation is grim.

Ah!" Chief of Staff Allen also realized that the current situation was not very favorable to them, and agreed with Commander Alexander's opinion.

Seeing that Chief of Staff Allen understood what he meant, Commander Alexander continued: "So we have to act fast and solve the problem before the weak people wake up. Speed ​​is more important than military force."

"Your Excellency, Commander, I understand what you mean. We can order the follow-up support troops to rush here as quickly as possible. Anyone who violates the order will be punished as disobedience." Chief of Staff Allen replied.

"Okay, hurry up and do it." The commander waved his hand and asked Allen to handle the matter quickly.

The landing of the army of the Qi country in Yindu and the start of the war with the Great Yin Empire attracted great attention from all over the world. Now it is generally felt that the world is a little unstable. This is the case in Asia. In Europe, Germany is building crazy armaments, and then annexed Austria.

The smoke of war has been ignited, and two major camps in this world have been formed. The Axis Powers are centered on Germany, Italy, and France; the Allies are centered on the Great Yin Empire and China. Now.

The rise of Germany, the Axis power, is aggressive, and the Great Empire is even more arrogant and domineering in Asia. The colonial empire in Asia is shrinking again and again. If it were not for the concerns about the Germans, the Royal Navy of the Great Empire would have been mobilized in full force, and it would definitely not be the case.

The Great Yin Empire was allowed to be so arrogant. However, Germany's dispatch of troops to Austria kicked off the expansion. The situation in Europe suddenly became tense. The Great Yin Empire's little heart was a little twitching. It was so nervous!

The Republic of Austria is located in the heart of Europe and has an important strategic position. Austria, like Germany, is a country dominated by the German nation. As early as before and after World War I, the two countries had the intention to merge for different purposes.

However, the Treaty of Versailles clearly stipulated that the Anschluss of Germany and Austria was strictly prohibited. Austria was Hitler's first target. As early as 1933, German spies were in Austria.

Activities. In July 1934, the fascists in Vienna instigated a rebellion and assassinated Austrian Prime Minister E. Dollfuss. On July 11, 1936, Germany forced Austria to sign the "German-Austrian Agreement" and required Austria to guarantee its diplomatic status.

The policy will always be to act in accordance with the principle of recognizing itself as "a Germanic country" and to provide for the participation of German and Austrian fascist parties in Austrian government institutions in secret terms.

Italian Dali had always regarded Austria as its own sphere of influence and began to oppose Hitler's attempt to annex Austria. In early 1934, when Mussolini's chief diplomatic adviser visited Austria, he reiterated the need to ensure Austria's independent status and even included Italy's intention to annex Austria.

Four powerful divisions marched to the border. However, Italy had already consumed a lot of strength in the war of aggression against Egypt, and had invested a large amount of troops in intervening in the Spanish Civil War.

And due to the strong resistance of the Republic, it had to repeatedly increase its troops. As a result, it was no longer able to compete with Germany for Austria, and even asked for help from Nazi Germany. In November 1937, Italy joined the "Anti-Comintern Pact", and Musso

Rini changed his position on the Austrian issue. Not only Italy, but in February 1938, British Prime Minister Chamberlain declared that when Germany occupied Austria, Austria could not count on

Assistance from other major powers. The Yin Kingdom has been seeking to comprehensively resolve its conflicts with Germany. In the "general settlement", Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland are all bargaining chips. On November 19, 1937, the Yin Kingdom's Privy Council

Minister Halifax met with Hitler in Berchtesgaden and made it clear that "the errors of the mandatory treaty of Versailles must be corrected" and the issue of changes in the European order, namely Danzig, Austria

The issue with Czechoslovakia was bound to happen sooner or later. All Britain was concerned about was that "these changes must be realized through peaceful evolution." Hitler found out about Britain and France and knew that they would not interfere with Germany's annexation of Austria, so he went boldly.

It was done. The attitude of the Americans has also changed. Bullitt, the U.S. ambassador to France, informed Germany that Washington "fully understands" Germany's plan to change the European territory.

The government of the Republic of China has also stated that it has no intention to interfere in Austrian affairs. If Germany realizes its plan to annex Austria, its strength will be greatly increased, which will pose a great threat to the security of the Republic of China. However, the struggle between the left and right factions of the Republic of China in this period is extremely fierce.

, the political situation was unstable, the cabinet changed frequently, and there were several cabinets that lasted only a month. Therefore, it was no longer able to adopt a tough policy towards Germany and had no choice but to embark on the road of appeasement. On November 8, 1937, the founding of the country

Ministry of Finance

Chang Bonnet (later changed to Minister of Foreign Affairs) told the German Ambassador to Austria Papen who was passing through Paris: The two countries have established a closer economic and cultural relationship after the signing of the German-Austrian Agreement in July 1936.

There was no objection to the contact and agreed that the German minority in Czechoslovakia should enjoy broad autonomy. Subsequently, French Prime Minister Chaudan met with Papen again and said that he himself "is not opposed to Germany obviously expanding its territory in Austria through evolutionary means."

power".

We may not feel it in peacetime, but once the situation becomes tense and national interests are threatened, the interests of our nation immediately rise to the extreme. The so-called international order and so-called justice are just a cloud, and the interests of small and weak countries are sold out.

It’s all in the hands of powerful countries

The key to whether or not to throw out the chips in the game, and when to throw them out, depends on the big country and how it measures its interests. Once the big country needs it or the interests are sufficient, it is time to throw it out. If you believe in the sanctimonious words of the big country and its solemn words of justice, haha,

Just wait for the cup!
