Countries around the world have learned about the sudden changes in the battlefield situation in Central and Eastern Europe.
They were extremely concerned about the war between the Alliance and the Alliance, and sent a large number of military observers to observe the final outcome of the war.
Experts and scholars from various countries have also commented on this war through newspapers, radio and other channels.
Both the dignitaries and the people want to know whether Guangxi will be the first country to be destroyed in this cruel war.
Gui Wang Qutian held the latest battle report with trembling hands, his face as pale as paper.
The battle reports were like reminders, clearly recording the bad news that Gui's territory was constantly being lost.
The alliance army is overwhelming, like an unstoppable torrent, rushing towards Xuanjing, the capital of Gui Kingdom.
General Su Zihai is trying his best to keep the Gui army on the front line from collapsing, and the front line is gradually retreating.
King Qutian of Gui couldn't help it and angrily cursed Qing for surrendering.
He believed that it was Qingguo's move that was like knocking down dominoes, causing the entire situation to collapse instantly.
The Four-Nation Alliance has not fallen apart, and the situation cannot deteriorate to this point.
Confidence is comparable to gold, as long as most people in the Four-Nation Alliance believe that they can withstand the attack of the alliance army.
In this way, there will be a lot of room for maneuver, and the morale of the army will be high.
Now most people no longer believe that the Four-Nation Alliance can survive this crisis.
The morale of the army also collapsed again and again.
King Qutian of Gui drove all the eunuchs out of the room, and he looked at the map and thought alone.
The room was filled with smoke. He was smoking cigarettes one after another, and the ground was covered with cigarette butts.
He choked and coughed a few times, but the cigarette in his hand did not stop.
In this diffuse smoke, Qu Tian's eyes gradually became firm.
He put out the cigarette in his hand and stood up, as if he had made a life-or-death decision.
Even if he would become a criminal in history, even if he had to pay a huge price, he was determined that the Gui Kingdom would never be destroyed.
Gui Wang Qutian looked gloomy and called Takeda Nobu, the commander of Gui State's secret service, the Eagle Guard.
Takeda Nobu is the confidant whom King Gui Qutian has always cultivated.
He controls the Eagle Guard, a secret service that has blood feuds with all the alliance countries.
Once the alliance countries achieve complete victory, Condor Nobu Takeda will definitely be liquidated by the alliance countries.
In this current situation, the previous loyalty cannot be guaranteed.
But from the grasshopper on the same rope, no one can escape.
Takeda Nobu, the commander of the Divine Eagle Guard, rushed over quickly. He stood as straight as a pine tree in front of King Gui Qutian and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, if you have any tasks, please tell Takeda."
King Gui Qutian stared at the slowly burning cigarette in his hand and asked in a low voice: "How far is the alliance army from Xuanjing?"
Takeda Nobu's expression instantly became lonely, he lowered his head slightly and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, the alliance army is still a hundred kilometers away from Xuanjing.
General Su Zihai tried his best and deployed layers of defenses, but he still could not stop the alliance army's savage attack.
Nowadays, the morale of the army is low and people are panicked.
The General Staff of the Metropolitan Governor's Office estimates that the alliance army will arrive at Xuanjing City in another three to five days."
Gui Wang Qutian asked again: "Takeda, is the intelligence network of the Eagle Guard cut off?
Alliance troops are in occupied areas, what do they do?"
Takeda Nobu showed a bitter expression. He didn't want to talk about this matter. When King Gui asked about it, he could only report it helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the Eagle Guard's meticulous work is well hidden.
Now there are telegraph contacts again, and the intelligence network has not been cut off.
Wu and Yue, the main forces of the alliance army, have reached a tacit agreement.
The State of Wu mainly controlled the yamen and strategic strategic points in various places, and local officials surrendered to the State of Wu one after another.
The Yue Kingdom has no claim to territory, but they seem to be intruding robbers.
The Vietnamese were dismantling factory machinery on a large scale. They emptied the factory machines and workers together.
The country of Vietnam has increased its plunder of the population, especially the young population."
When Gui Wang Qutian heard this, he frowned, his eyes full of unwillingness and determination, and sighed again:
"The alliance army has done such evil in the occupied areas, even if our army can finally counterattack successfully.
The fall period has become desolate.
The longer the Union troops remain on our soil, the more severe the devastation our country will suffer.
I will never let the Gui Kingdom perish.
Even if we fight to the last soldier, I will live and die with the Gui Kingdom!"
Takeda Nobu, the commander of the Divine Eagle Guard, heard the unquestionable tone of King Gui Qutian.
His face changed slightly, and his heart tightened. He had realized that King Gui Qutian was about to make an extremely dangerous and crazy decision.
King Gui Qutian looked solemn and asked with piercing eyes: "Takeda, is the Eagle Guard worthy of my trust?"
Takeda Nobu did not hesitate, immediately knelt down, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "The Eagle Guard will always be the minion of Katsura, and I will always be loyal to the king."
Gui Wang Qutian looked at Takeda Nobu's firm statement, and finally showed a smile of relief on his face.
"Condor Guard, well done.
I want the Condor Guards to stop the Alliance army’s attack at all costs.”
Takeda Nobu knew that conventional means would definitely not be able to stop the surging attack of the Alliance army.
He gritted his teeth and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, are we going to use gas bombs, napalm bombs, these special bombs?"
Gui Wang Qutian stood up, with a serious expression and no intention of shrinking, and said resolutely: "Yes, we will use special ammunition."
At this moment, the Gui Kingdom has been forced into a life-and-death corner. The use of special ammunition may not be able to change the fate of the Gui Kingdom's final defeat.
Special ammunition is more powerful than ordinary ammunition.
If the current Yue Kingdom doubled its ammunition reserves, it would not be able to drive out the alliance army.
What's more, it's just special ammunition with a small reserve.
But the consequences of using special bombs were indeed what King Gui Qutian wanted to achieve.
As long as something seriously violated the "Jianye Convention", the empire would have to intervene in order to maintain the dignity of the suzerain country.
This was the last straw that King Gui Qutian grasped in desperate situation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if this will bring him eternal infamy, he will not hesitate.
As for the empire not ending, that is simply impossible.
In order for Emperor Su He to safeguard the dignity of the suzerain country, the empire must also intervene.
The empire will never allow any vassal country to break through the bottom line set by the empire.
Gui Wang Qutian has been with Emperor Su He for more than ten years, and he knows Emperor Su He's character very well.
There was a slight sweat on Takeda Nobu's forehead, he clenched his teeth and said as if he had made great determination:
"Your Majesty, leave this matter to me, I will definitely do it well.
Please, Your Majesty, believe in the ability of the Condor Guard."
Gui Wang Qutian showed a look of joy on his face and said solemnly: "Takeda, do this well, no matter what the future holds.
There is only the Takeda family in Katsura, not the Takeda family."
Takeda's confidence was shaken, and he knew clearly that this was a major promise made by King Gui Qutian to him.
His family has always been eager to enter the aristocratic class of the Han people. This is his dream goal.
Now, this opportunity is right in front of us.
In order to obtain this reward that will benefit the family for at least a hundred years, for the family's glory and future.
He secretly vowed that no matter what the price, even if he had to bear eternal infamy, he would go all out to do this well.
He, a mercenary from the Japanese country, could also become the top dignitary of the Han people.
By achieving this, he has surpassed all Japanese people.
Takeda Nobu, the commander of the Eagle Guard, bowed deeply and said firmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will fulfill my mission!"
He then turned around and went to prepare the dangerous plan with firm steps.
While ordering the Eagle Guards to get ready, Takeda Nobu quietly came to the staff headquarters of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion alone.
He knew very well that the staff of the General Staff Department of the Metropolitan Government must have done some research on how to use special ammunition to achieve the best results.
Although Gui's regular army could not do this inhumane thing due to various reasons, he believed that there must be a plan in the staff department.
When he entered the staff headquarters, the atmosphere inside was tense and depressing.
Many staff officers showed despair. Based on their knowledge, they could see that Gui Guo had no hope of making a comeback.
Takeda Nobu directly found his friend and came to a closed room.
He directly stated his intention without making too many pleasantries.
The friend looked embarrassed, but under Takeda Nobu's strong request, he still gave him the answer he wanted.
"The power of special bombs is limited. If you want to cause large-scale damage and create a sensational effect, it is better to use chlorine gas.
Chlorine, an industrial gas that is cheap and easy to store, is an efficient poison gas.
Using a large amount of chlorine gas on the battlefield is definitely more effective than using a little special ammunition.
The only trouble is having to wait for the right wind direction."
After getting the answer, Takeda Nobu did not dare to delay, and immediately led the Condor Guards to receive a large number of special bombs from an extremely confidential factory in Katsura.
At the same time, he sent people to the chemical plant to haul a large amount of chlorine gas.
He won't choose one or the other, he wants both options.
After all preparations were completed, Condor Guard commander Nobu Takeda led nearly a thousand Condor Guards, boarded more than 300 trucks, and headed to the front line with supplies.
The truck's engine roared, and the convoy raised up billowing smoke and dust as it sped toward Wenlan Mansion, the front line of the Guangxi army's blockade against the alliance army.
4365 years (1668 AD), February 3rd.
Takeda Nobu arrived at the front line and saw General Su Zihai who had grown old.
The vicissitudes of his face and tired eyes all tell the cruelty of war.
He briefly told General Su Zihai the purpose of his visit.
Takeda Nobu didn't wait for General Su Zihai to speak, but said directly: "General Su, it's good that you know this.
No action is required on your part.
For the sake of the country, someone has to do some things."
General Su Zihai nodded heavily, indicating that he understood the matter.
General Su Zihai must be informed about this kind of thing.
Only the Gui army responsible for blocking the enemy can create suitable opportunities for the Shenying Guards.
Takeda Nobu led the Condor Guards and quickly deployed special bombs and chlorine gas tanks in the blocking position.
However, the wind direction was not good these days, so he could only wait anxiously for the arrival of the north wind.
In the year 4365 (AD 1668), at noon on February 6th, the wind direction suddenly changed and tended to gradually increase.
The emperor paid off his hard work, and Takeda believed in the north wind.
He gave the order without hesitation, and the condor guards wore gas masks and opened the valves of the steel tanks one after another.
A kind of yellow-green gas quickly spread in the air and floated ruthlessly toward the Union army's position along with the strong wind.
This is the secret weapon chlorine gas prepared by Gui Guo.
The alliance army was preparing to break through the Gui army's defense line with high morale.
They fully believed that since all countries had signed the "Convention of Jianye", no country would dare to challenge the empire's authority, so they had no protective measures at all.
When the deadly yellow-green gas hit their faces, the soldiers instantly fell into extreme pain.
Chlorine, a corrosive poisonous gas, corrodes their bodies mercilessly.
The soldiers' eyes were stimulated to the point of unbearable pain, and tears continued to flow down.
Their throats seemed to be burning, they coughed violently, and every breath felt like they were being tortured.
The trachea began to swell, gradually blocking the airway, and the soldier died of suffocation.
The areas where the skin came into contact with chlorine quickly became red and swollen, with blisters and ulcers. The soldiers couldn't help but scratch them with their hands, and a strip of skin was peeled off.
The soldiers were rolling on the ground in pain, wailing, and the sound was extremely miserable, like the wail from hell.
Some people scratched their throats and chests desperately, trying to relieve the unbearable pain, but all was in vain.
The entire position instantly turned into a hell on earth, and the soldiers screamed one after another.
Their bodies were twisted, and their lives were gradually disappearing in pain. The once vivid lives had become so fragile and helpless under the ravage of chlorine gas.
Seeing the success of the tactics, Takeda Nobu showed a crazy look on his twisted face. He laughed wildly several times. The laughter echoed on the battlefield, making it look particularly eerie.
He once again ordered the Condor Guards to fire napalm, white phosphorus and other special bombs against the Union army.
At this time, Gui Guo has completely broken through the bottom line. Now that he has taken this step, he no longer cares about breaking through more.
Takeda Nobu knew that the more miserable the alliance army was, the faster the empire would move, and the easier it would be for Katsura to achieve its strategic goals.
Ji Suyun, the commander-in-chief of the alliance army, was at the rear. Seeing the miserable appearance of the frontline troops, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he ordered the troops to retreat while suppressing his grief.
Ji Suyun's voice was trembling, his eyes were wide open, and he said in disbelief: "How dare the Gui army, how dare they do this, without fear of imperial sanctions?"
The alliance army commander Guo Suren's eyes lit up and his mind became calmer.
He immediately ordered: "Quickly notify the reporters accompanying the army to use cameras and video cameras to record the tragic situation on the front line.
We must secure the evidence and go to the empire to file a complaint.
This war is coming to an end, and Gui must pay the price."
The reporters accompanying the army received the order and hurried to the front line wearing chemical protective suits.
They suppressed the fear and grief in their hearts and kept filming with the cameras and video cameras in their hands.
The miserable scenes were truly recorded, including the charred corpses of the soldiers, the painfully twisted faces, and the burning land...
Every picture is shocking.
Guo Suren looked at everything in front of him with firm and decisive eyes: "Gui Guo has committed such a heinous crime, and they must be punished as they deserve."
