Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

However, the Gallic Empire's impatience soon no longer had to be anxious, because the empire launched an attack on Xiangjiang controlled by the John Empire.

Xiangjiang was very small, and the stalemate lasted for less than two days before it was captured by two brigades of the Imperial Dragon Army.

At this time, the governor of the Gallic Empire finally understood that the Great Xia Empire was really serious.

Their five divisions stationed in Annan and Khmer, with less than [-] troops, some of which were colonial divisions, could not stop the Daxia people's attack at all.

For this reason, the Gauls wanted to talk to the Daxia people about whether they could let the Daxia people go back to Europe at the expense of Annan and Khmer.

After all, the current war situation in Gaul is not going well. The Hans organized another large-scale battle on the border of Gaul, which once again caused the Gallic Empire to have a shortage of troops.

Now the Gallic Empire has begun to prepare to mobilize troops from its colonies in Africa.

Therefore, Governor Annan felt that there was no need to place limited troops on land that was meaningless and destined to be lost.

Therefore, Governor Annan sent a telegram to the country, explaining that Annan and the Khmer Empire were undefendable, and expressed that if possible, he hoped to lead the army and transfer it back to Europe to participate in the war.

When Governor Annan's telegram was sent back to China, it instantly aroused discussion in the Parliament.

After a day of discussion, the Gallic Congress agreed with Governor Annan's idea.

The reason is also very simple. Annan and the Khmer were not the overseas core of the Gallic Empire.

The previous domestic opposition did not expect that the Hans attacked so fiercely and made the Gallic Empire so difficult to fight.

Now facing a precarious defense line, the Gallic Empire is ready to give up some territory and prioritize ensuring the domestic defense line.

After all, Daxia has joined the Allies and declared war on Gaul. Even if Gaul holds places like Annan, if the mainland is defeated by the Hans and then defeated, Annan will still belong to the Daxia people after the war.

The opposite is also true. Even if Annan is now occupied by Daxia, if the Hans are defeated in Europe, Gaul will also have the opportunity to take back Annan.

Which is lighter and heavier, at a glance.

As a result, the Gallic Empire finally agreed to Governor Annan's withdrawal to Europe, but only if Bactria allowed Gaul to take away supplies and all soldiers.

After Governor Annan received the domestic telegram, he immediately sent someone to contact the Longxiang Army. After all, if the battle lasted one more day, more soldiers would be killed or injured on the front line.

At this time, Long Xiang's army had already advanced to Thanh Hoa and Luang Prabang.

Although it appears from the map that this place is only one or two hundred kilometers away from the empire's border, it must be understood that these two hundred kilometers are not a highway, but a tropical rainforest, a no-man's land.

The fact that the empire was able to advance here in less than a week after the war started can already illustrate the combat effectiveness of the imperial army.

Moreover, the further south you go, the better the road conditions will be, and the faster the empire will advance. The Gauls focused on developing the southern region of Annan.

Now, the convenient transportation there has become a reminder for the Gauls.

Even without negotiating with the Daxia people, Longxiang's army would be able to reach Saigon, the core of the Gallic Empire in Annan, in half a month at most.

Once Saigon was captured, it would mean that the Gallic Empire's power in Southeast Asia was completely wiped out.

Therefore, Governor Annan rushed to negotiate with the Daxia people.

After all, if you are beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, then if you surrender, it will not be a question of whether you can return to Europe with your equipment, but whether you will end up in a prisoner camp.

Of course, as for what Annan wanted to negotiate, Governor Annan did not have the kindness to inform John Empire.

Moreover, the relationship between the Gallic Empire and the John Empire was not as good as imagined.

Without the strong rise of the Hans Empire, the Gallic Empire and the John Empire might be fighting now.

These two countries have been feuding since the Middle Ages.

Regarding the Gauls' desire for peace talks, the opinions within the Bactria Empire were not unified.

Some people believe that since the Empire has joined the Central Powers and declared war on the Entente, there is a war relationship between the Empire and Gaul, and the Gauls cannot be allowed to leave easily.

On the other hand, people believe that the empire's primary purpose is to recover Southeast Asia and control Southeast Asia.

In order to achieve this goal as quickly as possible, the Gauls can be allowed to leave.

In this case, the only enemy of the empire in Southeast Asia is the John Empire.

After the John Empire is eliminated, the empire can conquer the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north as soon as possible.

People on both sides felt that what they said made sense and started arguing in the conference room.

And today it was Pan Chengzhang's turn to be on duty. Looking at the two groups arguing endlessly, he also had a headache.

Strictly speaking, Pan Chengzhang is a traditional soldier, an upright soldier, so he prefers the first option, which is to refuse peace talks and continue to fight the Gauls.

However, during this period, he had more contact with Lin Yi, and he felt that there was something wrong with his thinking.

Pan Chengzhang, who couldn't figure it out after much thought, simply announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then immediately sent someone to invite Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi rushed to the Imperial Military Headquarters and listened to Pan Chengzhang's words, Lin Yi felt dumbfounded and told Pan Chengzhang.

The reason why he felt something was wrong was that the empire had no obligation to consume the vitality of the Gauls for the Hans Empire.

The empire's first task is to capture Southeast Asia and control Southeast Asia's resources, and then consider whether to participate in the European War.

Even though the empire has declared war with the Allied Powers, Lin Yi knows that as long as the empire does not go to Europe and does not touch the forbidden territory of the John Kingdom, in fact, based on what the empire is doing now, it can actually cease the war at any time.

Of course, when the empire achieves its goal, that is, after snatching the Far East from the Rakshasa Empire, the Rakshasa Kingdom and Millican will be dissatisfied at most.

However, it is hard to say whether the Rakshasa Empire can survive until the war. Even if it does, the empire will still have ways to plunge it into civil strife.

As for Milician, without the help of the Allied Powers, it is not certain whether he would dare to cause trouble for the Empire alone.

After all, the Empire now controls Malacca and has two powerful fleets. If the Allies really want to fight the Empire to death, they have to think carefully.

Besides, is the Hans Empire so easy to defeat?

You must know that there are empires that have given blood to the Hans Empire. The Hans Empire is now stronger than it was in its original history.

It is estimated that after the John Empire and the Gallic Empire defeated the Hans Empire, they themselves will be almost the same.

When that time comes, will they still have the guts to bring trouble to the empire?

But of course, Lin Yi never thought about letting the Allies go. He was prepared to let the Allies and the Hans Empire bleed all their blood before he went to join the war.

The world's cake is only so big, and Lin Yi thinks it's time to let these old empires spit out some.

At least in the whole of Asia, there can only be one powerful country, the Empire, and Asia can only belong to the Empire!
