1890 King of Southeast Asia

despair! despair! despair! despair!

In the empty office, there was no other sound except for the hits of the semi -second needle, and there was no other sound.

Slap tower ~

Wang Linhai opened the door and walked in, looked at Liu Yiming, who was lying on the chair, lying on the chair, and some words were stuffed at 1 o'clock.

He has been a secretary of Liu Yiming for two decade for two decade, and has never seen Liu Yiming in this state.

Frozen, the eyes turned irregularly, showing a state of emotions that mixed with anxiety, anxiety, expectations, surprises, panic, etc.

He has lived for 5 or ten years, and he has never seen this situation. Today, he was justified.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty?"

"Keke! Your Majesty!"

Three times in a row, Liu 1 Ming returned.

"It's Lin Hai, what's wrong?" Liu Yiming returned from God's tour, realizing that he was a bit out of mind, and quickly opened the topic.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been prepared. Minister Lin has convened ambassadors and reporters from various countries. It is now waiting in the lobby of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Secretary Wang pretended not to see the situation just now.

This war is not as good as before. It is not only an expedition, but also the scale is unprecedented. The road ahead is confused. It is normal for Hero to have this reaction.

"Start, first announce the joining the contract, and then declare war on the Ottoman Empire."

"Sometimes there are friends such as Italy. There is a test of the water for us to help us first. We have reasons to take it slowly, and we don't have to find any appropriate reasons to declare war."

Liu 1 nodded, Secretary Wang knew that it was not appropriate to stay here. He retreated after hearing the answer.

..............

Britain, London.

Hu Xihua and Xu Sunming sat on the side of the long table, drinking tea or coffee expressionlessly, but their unconscious matte tea cups, or small things from time to time, betrayed their hearts -they were not as calm as they behaved.

Sitting opposite them were British Foreign Ministers, Minister of War, and others. They had been boiled for one night, and now they are pouring strong coffee into their mouths.

"Ambassador Hu, telegram." The secretary of the embassy opened the door and walked in with the telegram.

Such a move affects the hearts of everyone in the entire room, and everyone's eyes are staring at the thin piece of paper.

Hu Xihua took the telegram and placed it on the table. The other people subconsciously stretched their necks and wanted to see what the contents of the telegram were written. As for the rules, they have been forgotten behind their heads.

Xu Sunming was okay, like those British, and couldn't understand it. The neck was like a goose. He hadn't moved his body, and he couldn't understand anything.

"The emperor of my country authorized me to sign on the treaty and joined the Xie -Guo Group. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country had issued a declaration of war to the Ottoman Empire." Hu Xihua wore glasses and looked at it 1 word and 1 sentence.

"Long live!"

"Yes!"

"Ambassador Hu, there is an old saying in Huaxia that it should be early or late. You need to sign here, and here, here, here." The British Foreign Minister stood up and sent Hu Xihua a treaty enthusiastically.

After looking at it, after confirming that there was no problem, he signed his own name and covered his ambassador seal.

"Ambassador Hu, General Xu, welcome to join the civilized world!" The British Foreign Minister and the Minister of War stood up happily.

Although the two are disdainful of the civilized world, of course, at this time, it will not show.

"Ask Mr. Ambassador and General to rest a little. Wait 1 We have a celebration banquet to celebrate the Huaxia Empire to join the civilized world."

"I lost it with 1 first. I need to tell the king and the Prime Minister of the good news, as well as people who stand on the same line with the world and justice." The British Foreign Minister said after retiring his hands.

"You please." Hu Xihua nodded just, and didn't care.

He is just worried now, how much casualties will Huaxia pay in this war?

Nympho

Huaxia, Borneo Xin'an, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Due to the needs of rubber raw materials ..." The spokesman was trying to delay time, talking about one thing without nutrition.

These things are not completely 1, and just 1 sentence may affect hundreds of millions of business, but the ambassadors and reporters present are not interested in this.

"Ahem!" Lin Anmin stepped onto the stage. The spokesman immediately ended his speech and gave the position to Lin Anmin.

"After deciding by the Huaxia Empire government, the Imperial Parliament voted, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire had agreed to the Huaxia Empire joining the contract."

"The relevant treaty has been signed in London. There is no question session at this stage, I just notify you."

Lin Anmin shook his head at a reporter who raised his hands in a group.

The entire venue has been boiling, one people are cheering, and 1 people are cursing. Of course, more reporters who want big news are "alive and jumping."

"The Huaxia Empire will faithfully fulfill the treaty and the obligations of the allies. The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs has submitted a declaration of war to the Ottoman Empire. From this moment, the Huaxia Empire and the Ottoman Empire are in a state of war."

"As for the other, I can only say that there is no confidence. The conference is over this time, the guards!"

Looking at the increasingly exciting reporters, Lin Anmin had to end the press conference and recruit guards.

"Huh ~" Lin Anmin took a deep breath and looked at the documents in his hands. This document was drafted by the allies, namely Germany and the Austro -Hungarian Empire.

Although the Ottoman Empire is important, it is not so important. For Germany, what is important is his position.

"The bait smells good, but it's poisonous." Lin Anmin shook his head, stuffed the document he had just received yesterday into the cabinet, and locked it.

Germany was going crazy to win over the Huaxia Empire. The document stated that if the Huaxia Empire joined the Allies, Germany would share all technologies with the Huaxia Empire, and there would be a large amount of loans - but in marks.

As for the promise of post-war benefits, the interests of Asia were directly promised to Huaxia, such as India, Persia, Burma, French Indochina, and the territories of the Russian Empire in the north, which was very generous.

It sounds good, but it's just a castle in the air. It's all about other people's interests, and the Germans can't make a decision.

And even if Huaxia joins the Allies, what about it? The huge fleets of Britain, France and Italy can block Huaxia's way to Europe, and may even cut off the route from Arabia to Southeast Asia.

The only one that can reach is the Russian Empire, which has long been a paper tiger. Even without the Russian Empire, Germany cannot win unless Huaxia spends a lot of money to give Germany a blood transfusion regardless of the loss.

What's the point? India, Persia, French Indochina, etc., still have to be conquered bit by bit, plus blood transfusion to Germany, such consumption is not affordable for China.

Germany does not have as much gold and overseas assets as Britain to support the credit of currency, and the mark cannot be used as a reserve in China.

“Brigade Commander, the artillery battalion has received the parameters and is pre-aiming according to the parameters.”

“The 19th Regiment will be the main attacker in this battle. They have concentrated all the armored vehicles of the 1st and 2nd Battalions. Although there are no tanks, the armored vehicles are enough to break through the enemy’s trench system.”

“The brothers in the Air Force are only 340 kilometers away from us. They will bomb the targets in the enemy’s deep positions later.”

“The 18th Regiment has unloaded the vehicles and can follow up at any time after the battle begins.”

“The machine gun battalion has been decentralized. In fact, the machine guns installed by each unit and the machine guns on the armored vehicles have enough firepower, but it’s okay to be a little safer.”

“The engineer battalion is making emergency repair preparations to ensure that the railway can be repaired as soon as possible after it is damaged.”

“The mobile field hospital has been deployed. We use 6 carriages as a hospital. It can perform 12 surgical operations at the same time and accommodate up to 200 seriously injured people.”

“Ammunition…”

At the border, the logistics preparations of the 9th Brigade were carried out in an orderly manner. Perhaps because of too many exercises, everything was handled well.

Huang Zhengfang sat in the communication command vehicle, looking at the direction of the radio station with a little anxiety.

"Order all units to stand by and ask if the air force has received the order." Seeing that there was still no news on the radio, Huang Zhengfang suppressed his anxiety.

Beep beep...

In the telecommunications room, a radio operator suddenly raised his hand with a telegram in his hand.

The major communications staff took the telegram and looked at it, then ran towards Huang Zhengfang.

"Brigade commander, telegram from the division headquarters, the action begins!" The communications staff handed the telegram to Huang Zhengfang. There was very little content on it. In addition to stating his identity, there were only four words "action begins".

"Issue combat orders, and all units will launch an attack according to the predetermined plan." Huang Zhengfang immediately stood up and said to the chief of staff.

The chief of staff nodded and turned to enter another carriage. That was not the carriage where the staff of the staff department were, or that was the headquarters. This was just the command vehicle.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

After receiving the combat order, the artillery battalion of the 9th Brigade fired the first shot of the war.

12 105mm 32-caliber field guns sprayed 16 kg of deadly shells at the Ottoman border garrison positions ten kilometers away.

The marching weight of the 12-type 105mm field gun is 3,300 kg and the combat weight is 2,600 kg. In order to facilitate marching, wide rubber tires are used, and a 4-tire towed gun carriage is specially designed for the Arabs.

There are two latches on the front of the gun carriage, which can be towed normally. In the desert Gobi or other terrains that are easy to sink, a tire can be added to the front separately, connected with two screws to form a chassis.

In this way, when the gun body is laid flat, the weight of the gun body can be shared. It is superfluous in other places, but in areas where there are no roads and land desertification is serious, 4 wide tires are more stable.

The elevation angle is -5° to 20°, the maximum range is 13,100 meters, the muzzle velocity of the shell is 585 meters per second, the rate of fire is 5 rounds per minute, and it can fire various ammunitions. The performance is excellent and it is an excellent anti-artillery and fortification weapon.

From the development to the present, more than 300 guns have been produced, mainly used to equip various motorized infantry divisions, more than half of which are concentrated in Arabia.

Field artillery is used more here.

Mechanized divisions prefer self-propelled artillery, and towed artillery is mainly small-caliber. In addition, there is no mechanized division coming, and only the 3rd Division has strengthened a tank battalion.

"Brigade commander, the air force is observed to be coming and flying behind the enemy." The chief of staff hurried over.

"I have ordered the 19th Regiment to open the road and quickly penetrate, taking advantage of the bombing of the enemy on the second line of the enemy to disrupt their defense."

"Just do as you said, let the artillery battalion move forward after the end of this round of shelling, close shooting, and quickly end the battle on the border." Huang Zhengfang nodded.

To put it bluntly, the enemies on the border are used to delay time. If the Ottomans had brains, they would definitely put their main defense forces on the second line. Reconnaissance shows that the main forces of the Ottomans are also concentrated in the rear.

There is no need to get too entangled on the front line.
