September 11, 605 in the Holy Light Calendar, Kingdom of Breault, Manoli Plain, Patkara Port.
This is the third time that the ocean transport fleet of the Overseas Dominion Military Region has transported family members and relatives of officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division to the Overseas Dominion to naturalize as immigrants. Nearly 500 large sailing transport ships crowded the entire harbor.
The decks of all the ships were filled with military families. They all wanted to see the land that was once their hometown, and then embark on an unknown journey to a distant and unfamiliar continent to start a new life...
"This time we have forty-seven large sailing ocean-going transport ships and eight iron-clad transport ships, which can transport an additional 50,000 people. It is really thanks to the help of General Beach Green." Navy Admiral Murray of the Dominion Military Region
The German general said excitedly: "If General Bichklin commanded the Dominion Volunteer Corps to surprise the transport fleet of the Southern Three-Nation Alliance in Port Philimz this time and did not use fire attack, maybe we could have gained more than a hundred more troops.
An ocean-going transport ship..."
Claude just smiled and shook his head. It was already very difficult for General Buechlin to send these forty-seven large sailing ocean-going transport ships. While the Overseas Dominion Military District was at war with the Kingdom of Hicks, Farley
The war between the three countries in the southern part of the subcontinent, the Kingdom of Morosik, the Kingdom of Resnia and the Principality of Vasilko to regain the colonies on the west coast of the Nubissia continent also started again. Nearly 400,000 troops from the three countries invaded the colony just a few years after its establishment.
The Pamigal National Republic occupies most of the territory from the coast to the interior.
The armed forces of the Pamigal National Liberation Front were simply unable to resist the pressure of the troops of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, and had to retreat to the remaining inland areas and the territory of the Rusman people to persist in the war. The Three Kingdoms Allied Forces entered the former Kingdom of Resnia on the west coast.
After the No. 2 colony, a bloody massacre and revenge was launched against the Rusmans. Except for young women and young captives who could become slaves, the rest of the Rusmans, regardless of the old, weak, sick or disabled, were all killed.
Object...
The brutal massacre forced the Rusmans to stop killing each other and fighting for power among themselves, and unite to fight against the vicious enemy. Faced with the requests for help from the Pamigals and Rusmans, the autonomous military region hiding behind them also had to
Going into battle bare-chested, he directly transformed two Rock Divisions into volunteer divisions, recruited a large number of retired veterans, and formed the so-called volunteer corps of overseas autonomous territories to assist the ethnic groups on the West Coast in gaining independence and freedom. They went to the Pamigal National Republic and used three battles
The victorious defensive battle withstood the advance of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.
Faced with the visit and questioning of the special envoys of the three colonial countries in the southern part of Farea continent, General Beach Kerin responded on behalf of the Dominion Military Region and said that it was the volunteer of civilian veterans and had nothing to do with the Dominion Military Region. Moreover, these civilian veterans formed a volunteer corps
The activities are on the west coast and have exceeded the jurisdiction of the overseas dominions, so the dominion military district does not have any binding power over these retired veterans who went to help the Pamigal people gain independence and freedom...
What’s ridiculous is that while the three southern colonial countries were having a war of words with the military districts of the overseas autonomous territories, they were also ordering various military supplies and daily consumables from the overseas autonomous territories, and then sending them to the west coast front line for the logistical supplies of the three-nation coalition. And General Beach Kerin
On the one hand, he was making excuses with the special envoys of the three countries and shirking his responsibilities. On the other hand, he was commanding the frontline defensive operations remotely, and he was extremely busy.
Until last December, General Beach Kerin took advantage of the opportunity when New Year's Eve was approaching and most of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms had relaxed their alert. He commanded a task force of the Pamigal Armed Forces and the Volunteer Corps to carry out a large detour and penetrate deep into the territory occupied by the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms.
In the rear area, at the Port of Philimz, a surprise attack was conducted on the ocean-going transport fleet of the three southern colonial coalition forces assembled here. More than a hundred large transport ships and dozens of sailing warships were burned with fire. Then they attacked the troops.
Driving dozens of captured transport ships and warships, they disappeared into the vast sea.
It can be said that this surprise attack on the seaport transport fleet behind the southern colonial Three-Nation Alliance became a historical turning point in the West Coast National Liberation War. After losing the ocean-going transport fleet, the Three-Nation Alliance obviously lacked stamina and had to turn to the offensive.
Defense. The Pamigar armed forces, the Rusman light cavalry troops, and the volunteer regiments from overseas autonomous territories recovered a large number of lost lands and occupied towns in the first half of this year, and once again began a counterattack against the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.
The forty-seven large sailing ocean-going transport ships that General Muriel mentioned as joining the Dominion Military Region's ocean-going transport fleet are the spoils of the surprise attack on Philimz Port at the end of last year. These captured ocean-going transport ships are in
The Patres Military Port in the Dominion Military District was remodeled, renovated, renamed and joined the ocean transport fleet, contributing to the immigration cause of the overseas Dominions and contributing its own transportation capacity...
Therefore, after the ocean transport fleet returned this time, General Murield brought to Claude General Bichklin's information about what happened in the Pamigal National Republic, the territory of the Rusmans, and the colony of the Principality of Vasilko.
The report on this war was a thick book. After reading it, Claude was not worried about any bad changes in the war with the three southern colonial countries, but began to consider whether to carry out the war against General Bi Chiklin.
reinforce.
Because General Beachlin said in the report that the Rock Army was good at defensive operations, the Volunteer Army formed mainly from the two divisions of the Rock Army also continued its strengths in defensive operations. However, in this way, the Volunteer Army lacked a
The fist troops that can rush the front to break the formation and achieve success at critical moments are the sharp knives of attack. Just like in the surprise attack on Port Philimuz, the attacking troops suffered many unnecessary casualties. The main reason was the offensive awareness of the soldiers.
It cannot compete with the Thunder Legion and suffered a lot of irrelevant battle losses during the operation...
Generally speaking, since General Biechlin had such laments in his report, Claude should find a way to send a division from the Thunder Legion back to the overseas autonomous territories for reinforcements. For example, General Biechlin is a very good candidate.
He can completely serve as General Beach Green's deputy and take on the responsibility of commanding the offensive of the troops. But after much thought, Claude decided to let General Beach Green hold on for a while and implement the West Coast Colonial Wildfire Plan.
There is no rush for this moment, let's wait until the situation in the Hicks Kingdom stabilizes.
Claude mentioned in his reply to General Beechlin that the war on the Hicks Kingdom would probably take more than a year to end. He hoped that General Beechlin would slow down.
The rhythm of the attack should not be too focused on defeating the three southern colonial coalition forces in the shortest time. Instead, we should use this short time to conduct rotational battles with various units to train the Pamigal armed forces and the Rusman light cavalry units so that they have better capabilities.
Strong combat effectiveness.
Claude believes that defeating or eliminating the three southern colonial coalition forces may not be the end of the war, but the beginning of another war. Originally, the territory of the Pamigal National Republic and the Rusman people was the Kingdom of Morosik and the Resini
Most of the colonies in the Kingdom of Asia, including the Vasiliko Principality colony, were almost defeated by the Pamigal armed forces. Since these three colonial countries did not admit defeat, the other west coast colonial countries were too embarrassed to take action...
.
The current fierce battle with the three southern colonial coalition forces is actually to protect these three colonies. This can make the spies of the Military Intelligence Bureau pay close attention. If the three southern colonial coalition forces regain their own colonies, they will receive strong support from other west coast colonial countries.
If so, then there is no need for the special envoys of the three countries to vigorously purchase various military supplies and daily consumables from overseas autonomous territories. It was from this point mentioned in General Beachlin's report that Claude began to doubt the other colonial countries on the west coast.
Same bad intentions.
Obviously, the overseas dominions produce various military supplies needed by the three southern colonial alliances. If they are purchased from the overseas dominions, it will be really cheap and good. But if the grain, grass and meat are also purchased from the overseas dominions, it will be interesting. The prices of grain and grass in the colonies on the west coast
It will only be cheaper and more affordable than the overseas dominions. Coupled with the difference in freight costs over distance, it is even more obvious that purchasing grain, grass and meat from the colonies on the west coast should be the most cost-effective.
Logically speaking, for the three southern colonial countries to regain their own colonies, the colonial countries should agree and strongly support their food, grass, meat and other materials. Anyway, these materials are not valuable, and you can earn more by selling them. But the strange thing is that
The colonial countries on the west coast are loudly claiming that the colonial countries are all in the same boat, opposing the independence and freedom movements of the indigenous peoples in the colonies, supporting the three countries in regaining their own colonies, suppressing the rioting indigenous peoples, and so on.
Here, they refused to provide the southern colonial three-nation coalition with the necessary military supplies, food, grass and meat, using the excuse that the indigenous peoples in their own colonies were restless. Local government expenditures increased, revenue decreased, and reserves were insufficient. Then they launched an initiative to suppress the indigenous peoples in the colonies of various countries.
On the pretext of armed rebellion, troops were mobilized from their respective kingdoms to the west coast colonies. It is said that several countries mobilized two legions of troops to garrison in their respective colonies...
Although the envoys from the Kingdom of Morosik, the Kingdom of Resniya, and the Principality of Vasilko went to the overseas autonomous territories and autonomous territory military districts to protest and so on, the logistics officials who came with the envoys were in the autonomous territories.
A large number of orders for goods were issued. Some loose-tongued people soon revealed in their chatter their dissatisfaction with the colonial countries on the west coast for their unrighteousness and refusal to provide food and meat trade. General Beach Green mentioned it as a joke in the battle report.
He made a fortune, but Claude felt a deep malice.
This is why Claude asked General Buchiklin in his reply to take it easy and not to wipe out the three southern colonial coalition forces so quickly. The longer the time goes on, the more blood the three southern colonial nations will bleed and spend on military expenditures.
The expenses will increase. After the final failure in the future, there will no longer be the energy to recover these three lost colonies. Especially the Kingdom of Resnia. Although it has two colonies on the west coast, the second lost colony is now
It has become the biggest wound on this country with a very powerful military, and it has been losing blood continuously.
Claude believed that after the Kingdom of Resnia was exhausted and severely weakened in the No. 2 colony, then as long as the Rusmans in his No. 1 colony were incited, it would mean that
The Kingdom of Resnia will soon lose all its colonies on the Nubisian continent. In addition, Claude doubts whether the other west coast colonial countries are waiting for the failure of the southern colonial three-nation coalition. Now the three-nation coalition is fighting hard, so they have no
France intervenes, but if the Three Kingdoms Alliance fails, then other colonial countries are likely to swarm in and want to carve up these three territories without a sovereign state...
Therefore, Claude believed that it was not appropriate to give General Beach Kelin combat reinforcements at this moment. He sent a light cavalry field division of the Thunder Legion back, which was indeed very effective in dealing with the three southern colonial coalition forces. However, it was very effective in dealing with the remaining colonial countries on the west coast.
The siege will not have much effect.
It is a long-term and long-term struggle to complete the Wildfire Plan so that all indigenous peoples in the colonies on the West Coast can follow the colonizers, gain independence and freedom, establish their own nation-states, and make the entire West Coast a dumping ground for overseas dominions’ goods.
A hard war will take longer, rather than hoping for success in just a few years...
Claude had long been prepared that the Wildfire Plan in the West Coast Colonies would require long-term efforts to achieve results. It was different from the Kingdom of Hicks. The purpose of Claude's attack on the Kingdom of Hicks was to fight a short and quick war.
The Dominion Military Region has little interest in the territory of the Kingdom of Hicks. The main reasons are firstly to immigrate the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division, and secondly to solve the future financial crisis of the Dominion Military Region and make a fortune. There is nothing better than a wealthy man.
The overlord country carries out robbery to get more money. The third is to completely solve this country that is the sworn enemy of the Kingdom of Orvilas and the overseas autonomous territories.
Of course, Claude did not deny that the plan to attack the Kingdom of Hicks concealed the intention of frightening King Frederic I of the Kingdom of Overas and a group of royal ministers headed by Prime Minister Blancart. Since His Majesty the King issued the gift
After receiving the decree, in the name of promotion fees and site selection fees, 30 million gold crowns in cash, a large number of armaments, and an armored squadron were collected from overseas autonomous territories, he has been secretly pursuing the autonomous territories...
..
Perhaps this Hicks Kingdom attack plan can help His Majesty the King and the ministers around him to gather their thoughts and have a clearer mind. They understand that even if the overseas autonomous territories have paid so much money and weapons and equipment to the Kingdom, it is not theirs.
The intended target. The Kingdom of Hicks, the overlord of the Northland, has been defeated by the Dominion Military District. So the Kingdom of Overas, which seems to be strong but is actually very weak, is best not to anger the overseas Dominions. If both sides cooperate, the two sides will be harmed.
If you fight, the kingdom will be defeated.
Two months ago, Claude met with special envoys from the five countries surrounding the Kingdom of Hicks. Not surprisingly, these former vassals of the Kingdom of Hicks wanted to regain the territory they had lost. Regarding this, Claude
Very generous, he told these envoys, please do as you please, the five eastern counties can be obtained by the Principality of Santa Cruz and the Kingdom of Castro, but it is best to enter after the Thunder Legion has swept them, so that they can wait for the Thunder
The legion transferred these five counties to them.
As for the ten western counties, the three countries - the Kingdom of Monadillo, the Principality of Tumaco and the Kingdom of Isabela - took their own initiative because the autonomous military region was temporarily unable to allocate troops to sweep the ten western counties. However, there is intelligence that shows
, currently more than 300,000 troops from the Hicks Kingdom have entered the ten western counties and joined forces with local garrison forces. Therefore, if the three countries want to regain their lost territory, they still need a certain amount of strength. At least they can defeat the more than 300,000 troops from the Hicks Kingdom.
's army.
However, with the help of the special envoys from these five neighboring countries, Claude quickly figured out the origins of the more than 300,000 horses in the ten western counties. The leader was also a grand duke of the Hicks Kingdom, and the Hicks royal family
They are related by blood and should be regarded as one of the palaces of Melchid III. His name is Neertuze Sir Hicks, and his title is Grand Duke of Sunset River.
The family territory of the Grand Duke of Sunset River is in Ferrinore County, Northland, which is a strategically important place. His family territory was granted there because the Hicks royal family hoped that their relatives could suppress the expenses of the Grand Duke of Northland.
The power and prestige of the Riott family. However, it seems that the first generation recipient of the title of Grand Duke of Sunset River and the current successor have not completed the mission assigned by the Hicks royal family, let alone suppressing the Grand Duke of Northland.
The Riot family, it’s already considered very good if they haven’t been suppressed...
However, this time the Overseas Dominion Military Region's attack on the Hicks Kingdom gave the Sunset River Grand Duke the hope of getting rid of the barren family territory and dominating one side. He took advantage of his status as the king's cousin and sold it to the country.
He sold the family territory in Ferrinore County to the Grand Duke of the North, and assembled a local garrison force of more than 100,000 people, known as 300,000. With the slogan of reviving the kingdom and driving out the invaders, he entered the country at a corner.
The ten counties in the west didn't even see the Thunder Legion raiding the nine counties in the east next door.
The ten western counties that were attacked by the aristocratic coalition of the Overas Kingdom had already devastated four local counties by the aristocratic coalition, so they very much welcomed this orthodox armed force belonging to the Hicks royal family to come to protect them. So this Sunset River
The Grand Duke suddenly received a warm welcome from the people of the ten western counties. He took possession of the territory of the ten counties. He began to organize troops and set up defensive fronts. He raced against time to build the ten western counties into a tortoise shell...
On the other hand, the Grand Duke of the North, Duke Pyrag.
The Legion and the Jessica Legion went to him, but he only ordered these two legions to choose dangerous places to garrison. It seemed that they had no intention of attacking from the northwest highlands to regain the territory.
Claude really couldn't figure out what the Grand Duke of the North was thinking. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the eight Hicks Returning Divisions did not come from the eleven northern counties, so there was no need to deal with the Grand Duke of the North.
After the Thunder Legion has swept through the local counties in the east and central part, the Storm Legion will be dispatched to the remaining six local counties in the west to gather the families and relatives of the officers and soldiers of the returning division. Then this time the Autonomous Territory Military Region will attack the Kingdom of Hicks.
