Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

It can be said that the war between the Sakura Empire and the Rakshasa Empire exceeded the expectations of the top leaders of both parties.

Although the top leaders of both sides knew that there would be a war between them, neither side was ready for war yet.

In their plan, the war would break out around July at the earliest.

But now, just in April, war started to break out. It disrupted the deployment of high-level officials on both sides.

The cause of all this was that a small group of Sakura Kingdom soldiers took the initiative to cross the buffer line and launched an attack on a Rakshasa Empire patrol team.

Sakura Country has a tradition of defeating the superior from the bottom since ancient times.

This is because in the Sakura Kingdom during the shogunate period, the lower-class samurai lived a very hard life and were in a state of not having enough to eat all year round.

In order to have enough to eat and live a good life, they would often provoke fights and drag their masters into the war.

In this way, they, the low-level warriors, can have food to eat.

Let me make a casual digression here. During the shogunate period, especially the Tokugawa shogunate period, those low-level samurai who could not survive would even run in front of their master and perform seppuku for him.

The purpose was just to have a full meal, because according to the tradition at that time, the samurai came to perform seppuku, and the host family had to take care of the food.

Of course, if your master sees that you are pitiful, or he is very kind-hearted, he will give you a sum of money to prevent you from committing hara-kiri.

This led to more samurai who couldn't survive to go to their master's house to perform seppuku.

Because of this kind of behavior, you can get a full meal at the end. If you are lucky, you don't have to die and you can still get a sum of money.

I have to say that in terms of perversion, one must be from Sakura Country.

This is a bit far-fetched, but it is precisely because of the frequent occurrence of threatening the master's family with hara-kiri that the Sakura Kingdom has a tradition of frequent subordinates overcoming superiors.

And this incident is a typical example of a subordinate defeating a superior.

The soldiers of the Sakura Kingdom stationed in the four provinces outside the pass are dissatisfied with the procrastination of the upper echelons of the empire. In their view, with their heroic imperial soldiers, they can defeat the Rakshasa Kingdom.

As a result, several Sakura Kingdom second lieutenants worked together to directly attack the patrol team of Rakshasa Kingdom across the border.

Five Rakshasa soldiers were killed on the spot and seven or eight others were injured.

At this moment, the small group of Sakura Kingdom soldiers seemed to have stung a hornet's nest. The Rakshasa Kingdom, which had suffered a loss, immediately sent people to surround the small group of Sakura Kingdom soldiers within its control.

They planned to arrest this group of Sakura Country soldiers, and then question the senior officials of Sakura Country, and then accuse Sakura Country of shamelessness from a high moral point.

However, they never imagined that this was exactly what the small group of Sakura Country soldiers wanted.

After they were surrounded, they did not choose to break out or surrender, but began to call for support.

Several other Sakura Country teams that had been prepared immediately provided support and passed the news up one by one.

By the time the news reached the commander in Goryeo, Takeda Hiroyuki, the number of soldiers from the Sakura Kingdom who had joined the rescue had exceeded [-], and two groups of soldiers were fighting with the Rakshasa Kingdom.

The Rakshasa Kingdom also invested three regiments, totaling more than [-] people. Both sides also used artillery and fired thousands of artillery shells.

At this time, this can no longer be regarded as a conflict. It can be directly said that the Sakura Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom are at war.

Even if Takeda Hiroyuki ordered the soldiers on the front line to retreat at this time, they would not be able to retreat, because once they retreat, the people of the Rakshasa Kingdom will definitely rush directly through the buffer line.

It's hard to say, Sakura Country will be a disastrous defeat by then!

Because after seeing that they had the advantage, the senior leaders of the Rakshasa Kingdom would not be able to order their soldiers to retreat, but would definitely order to strengthen the attack.

Facing messages like snowflakes requesting tactical guidance from the headquarters, Takeda Hiroshi also had a headache.

If you can't withdraw, then fight!

Therefore, while generating electricity domestically, Takeda Hiroshi ordered follow-up troops to follow up and drive the Rakshasa Kingdom out of the four provinces outside the pass.

After receiving orders from Takeda Hiroyuki, the Fifth Division of the Sakura Kingdom began to take action and quickly traveled to Siping County, preparing to cut off the retreat route of the Second Division of the Far Eastern Army of the Rakshasa Kingdom on the front line.

At the same time, Sakura Kingdom's [-]th and [-]th Divisions set out from Yicheng and used a pincer offensive to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom's [-]nd Division from left to right.

At the same time, Takeda Guanghi ordered the [-]th and [-]th Divisions stationed in the Goryeo area, and the [-]st, [-]rd, [-]th, and [-]th Goryeo Divisions to assemble and prepare to go north at any time to support the battle in the four provinces outside the pass.

All other departments have canceled their vacations and are on standby.

As soon as Sakura Kingdom came up, they sent three divisions and nearly [-] people to fight against themselves. At the same time, [-] reinforcements were coming from Goryeo, and the senior officials of Rakshasa Kingdom were also angry.

Immediately, the Second Division of the Far Eastern Army was ordered to defend in place, and the First, Fourth, and Fifth Divisions of the Far Eastern Army were ordered to counterattack and encircle the three divisions of Sakura Country.

At the same time, he ordered the main force of the Far Eastern Army still in Mo Province to go south along the railway and join the battlefield.

In addition, Youth City and Twin City Fortress in the Rakshasa Kingdom also began to mobilize, preparing to serve as the second echelon to support the battlefield.

Overnight, the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Sakura Kingdom mobilized more than [-] people to join the war. The combined strength of both sides is [-].

Similarly, countries around the world were also shocked by this news.

They couldn't figure out why the east was in chaos when they woke up after just taking a nap.

Some ambitious countries have also begun to become active in an attempt to gain some benefits in this war.

However, all countries seemed to be partying, but one country was not very happy, and that was Daxia.

Because the two sides that provoked this war were the Sakura Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom, but the war took place in Daxia.

A feeling of humiliation arose spontaneously.

Although Lin Yi had already been mentally prepared, once something like this happened, he would still feel a little unhappy.

"Brother Xie, how are the negotiations with the Hans Empire going?" Lin Yi asked angrily.

"Brother, Leinster still refuses to let go. He said that currently the Hans Empire can only provide civilian technology and equipment. They cannot provide military technology." Zhao He said immediately.

"We don't have time to talk to them anymore. If it's for civilian use, it's for civilian use. Give us the technology first!"

"However, we must also tell them that they need to loan us the construction funds for the factory, and the engineers also need to be in place as soon as possible!" Lin Yi thought for a while and ordered to Zhao He.

He knows very well that now that the war has broken out, the Hans Empire has begun to wait and see again. They want to see how Daxia performs in this crisis before they consider later investment.

If Daxia handles it well this time and lets the Hans Empire see Daxia's determination and strength, then the Hans Empire will definitely increase investment.

Otherwise, aid will be reduced or even cut off.

"Come on, grandsons, let's see who can have the last laugh this time!" Lin Yi looked at the map in front of him and said to himself.
