Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The Gallic Empire and the Hans Empire concentrated all their artillery and launched a fierce artillery attack on the outer positions of Strath.

Artillery shells rained down on the outer positions of Strasbourg.

However, because these bunkers were built very low, they were almost parallel to the ground and only about half a meter higher than the ground.

Therefore, artillery poses little threat to these bunkers.

This artillery attack lasted for half a day, and the remaining shell casings were piled aside, forming a hill.

Looking at the entire outer position, it looked like it had been plowed, and the entire outer position was filled with gunpowder smoke.

Manfre sent three infantry regiments to test the attack.

As a result, the soldiers of these three infantry regiments were violently attacked by the bunkers outside the fortress just as they reached the outermost defensive circle.

Among these densely packed bunkers, a machine gun was set up in almost every bunker and fired continuously.

The attacking soldiers of the Hans Empire were unable to raise their heads at all.

After leaving behind thousands of corpses, these testing soldiers had no choice but to retreat.

Although Manfrey had already guessed that this would be the result, he was still shocked when the actual situation was placed in front of him.

In the end, after discussing with the headquarters, Manfrey could only change his strategy and use a gradual advancement method to slowly pull out these bunkers.

The words are divided into two parts. While war is already raging in Europe, Asia, especially East Asia, is still relatively restrained.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that peace in East Asia will not last long.

Ever since the Great Xia Empire held the East Asia Military Conference and formed the Chinese Alliance, it excluded the Sakura Kingdom.

Everyone in Sakura Country also knew that war was inevitable.

At the same time, the relationship between Sakura Kingdom and the Empire of Millican and John is getting closer and closer.

It’s almost all on the table.

In November 1930, Sakura Country and America signed the "Article of Friendship between the Two Sides".

In December 1930, the two countries signed the "Miying Security Regulations" again.

Among the two regulations, if we talk about the friendly regulations, everyone is still secretive. Then the Miying Security Regulations are a naked military treaty.

It is important to note here that the Sakura Country has not become a vassal of Daxia since its last defeat, so the Sakura Country actually has the right to independently sign treaties with other countries.

I don’t know if Daxia forgot about this at that time, or if Daxia did it on purpose.

Anyway, the current situation is that Millican and Sakura Country have signed a treaty that is not a military treaty.

Then Milician felt that he was hardened and began to arm his army on a large scale.

With the help of Millikin, the Sakura Kingdom United Fleet has restored its strength and has 8 battleships, 17 cruisers and more than 30 other large and small battleships.

It has become the second largest naval power in Asia.

But on December 1930, 12, after the European battlefield began, Sakura Country suddenly held a press conference.

Said that in view of the unstable situation in Europe and to prevent the European war from spreading to Asia, Sakura Country is willing to hold a high-level dialogue with Daxia.

Invite the Great Xia Empire to send high-level officials to Sakura Country to convene a military conference on security and defense to avoid the possibility of a military conflict between the two countries.

At the same time, in order to ease the tense relationship between the two countries, the Sakura Kingdom is willing to work with the Daxia Empire to build a harmonious and stable Asian order.

In order to strengthen military communication and exchanges between the two countries, the Sakura Kingdom sincerely invites the Daxia Empire United Fleet to conduct a military exercise and military visit with the Sakura Kingdom United Fleet.

This sentence, when translated, in layman's terms, means that Sakura Country feels that Europe is at war, and it does not want to be an enemy of Daxia.

Therefore, high-level dialogues were held directly between the top leaders of the two countries to demarcate the spheres of influence of the two countries.

At the same time, inviting the Daxia fleet to visit is also a friendly signal released by Sakura Kingdom to Daxia.

But are things really as Sakura Country said?

Of course not. If Daxia hadn't already acquired the Cherry Blossom Kingdom and planned to trick Daxia, maybe some people in Daxia would really believe it.

But this invitation is an opportunity for Lin Yi.

Now Daxia's domestic industry has already transformed into a semi-military one.

There are mountains of military supplies produced from factories every day.

Daxia also needs an outlet at this time to combat the overcapacity situation.

At the same time, because Lin Yi had been on guard and did not want to see the Sakura Kingdom, the Sakura Kingdom was doing something openly and secretly, which made Lin Yi extremely disgusted.

Therefore, Lin Yi has long wanted to take action against Sakura Country.

Lin Yi has been waiting for an opportunity. He knows that this military invitation is a conspiracy prepared by Sakura Kingdom and Millikin.

They wanted to surround and kill the visiting Daxia United Fleet on land.

This is an excellent opportunity for Sakura Kingdom and Millician to eliminate Daxia's naval strength in one fell swoop.

But for Daxia, it is also an excellent opportunity to take action against Sakura Country and start a war.

Therefore, at Lin Yi's suggestion, the Daxia Empire agreed to Sakura Country's invitation.

And the main force of the Second Combined Fleet was dispatched to Sakura Country to prepare for a military visit.

Seeing that Daxia was fooled so easily, the entire top brass of Sakura Country was a little excited.

However, excitement is all the more exciting, and Sakura Country feels that it needs to do some face-saving work.

Therefore, the Sakura Kingdom cabinet really prepared a grand welcome ceremony. Prepare to welcome the Daxia Second United Fleet coming from afar.

The news that the Daxia Empire's combined fleet was about to visit Sakura Country spread throughout Sakura Country in an instant.

There are many people who are confused among these citizens of Sakura Country.

Because Sakura Country has been promoting Daxia's threat to Sakura Country before, saying that Sakura Country has always been under the threat of force from Daxia.

Why did they suddenly start promoting the friendly coexistence of Daxia and Sakura Country?

However, the people of Sakura Country did not understand the cabinet's request to organize a grand welcome ceremony, but they still chose to follow the cabinet's request.

Soon, all the merchant ships in Kyoto Bay were sailed away, and it was announced that the Second Combined Fleet of the Great Xia Empire would be stationed in Kyoto Bay.

In order to prevent the citizens of the Sakura Kingdom from colliding with Daxia's fleet and causing unnecessary misunderstandings, the Sakura Kingdom cabinet requested that all merchant ships and fishing boats in Kyoto Bay sail away.

At the same time, Sakura Country has cleared out a large number of residential areas in Yokohama Port, preparing to house the sailors of the Second Combined Fleet of Daxia.

Supplies collected from all over the country were transported to Yokohama to entertain the sailors of Daxia.

Everything seems so reasonable.
