1890 King of Southeast Asia

On November 16, the 16th Division of the Huaxia Empire occupied Amman.

On the 18th, the 5th Army Command was transferred to Amman, and the Huaxia Empire opened up the sea route on the same day.

On the 19th, the 16th Division continued to pursue northward, and in the afternoon of the same day, the vanguard began to attack Irbid, a city less than 100 kilometers away from Damascus.

Here, the 16th Division encountered the stubborn resistance of the Ottoman Empire's 4th Army for the first time, and the vanguard of the 16th Division suffered heavy losses due to underestimation of the enemy.

On the 20th, after the heavy artillery of the 16th Division Artillery Regiment arrived, it began to attack the outer positions of Irbid. Under the attack of 152mm howitzers, one Ottoman field position after another was destroyed.

On the afternoon of the 20th, the two sides had a brief artillery battle. The Ottomans had to use 150mm howitzers for artillery battles because they lacked large-caliber field artillery.

Because the howitzers had a short range, the Ottomans were at a disadvantage in the artillery battle, and took the initiative to withdraw the artillery units after suffering losses.

The Huaxia Empire had two 152mm howitzers destroyed, one 76mm infantry gun destroyed, and one 150mm howitzer and three 75mm field guns destroyed.

According to the battle, the Ottoman Empire had an advantage in the artillery battle because they caught the 16th Huaxia Division Artillery Regiment off guard.

However, overall, a Huaxia Empire division was equipped with hundreds of artillery pieces, including more than 70 pieces of 76mm and 24 152mm howitzers.

This number is equivalent to an Ottoman army, and in terms of heavy artillery, it exceeds the number of heavy artillery pieces owned by an Ottoman army.

The Ottoman Empire normally had only 72 artillery pieces in an army, including 16 artillery pieces belonging to the division, organized into 4 4-gun artillery companies, mainly 75mm Krupp field guns.

There are two battalions of military artillery, one mountain artillery battalion, which is generally equipped with 75mm artillery to strengthen the firepower of the division, and one heavy artillery battalion, equipped with 105mm field guns, 120mm howitzers, or 150mm howitzers.

Among them, there are only 36 105mm field guns, which are imported heavy field guns from the Skoda Arsenal, mainly deployed in the European direction and Istanbul for easy supply. The others are German Krupp heavy guns.

The Huaxia Empire destroyed two 152mm howitzers, which can be directly replenished later, while the Ottoman Empire lost 150mm howitzers and could only see whether Germany would provide support.

At this time, Germany was busy with the battles of Verdun and the Somme River. On the Eastern Front, it had to be vigilant whether the Russians would go crazy and continue to attack. The heavy artillery could not be withdrawn at all. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was also caught in a two-front war. There was a shortage of artillery in the Italian direction, and it was not enough for itself.

In other words, the Ottoman Empire lost and could not be replenished.

On the 24th, the Ottoman Empire's defenders retreated into Irbid, preparing to fight street battles with the Chinese.

The 16th Division launched the battle without hesitation, which left a deep impression on the Chinese 6th Army...

…………

"Mr. Ambassador, I heard from the Minister of the 6th Army that there was some unpleasantness between the British and our army in the Sinai Peninsula."

"Our army drove away the Ottomans on the front line, and the army is advancing triumphantly to the heartland of the Ottoman Empire."

"At this time, the British army took the opportunity to occupy the Arish area. The Minister of the 6th Army asked me if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs concealed the information of the allies. You made it difficult for me to do it!"

Lin Anmin looked at Cyril with an unswerving expression, and Cyril's hand, which was drinking coffee, suddenly paused.

"Your Excellency, the Sinai Peninsula belongs to Egypt. The El-Arish region is located in a part of the Sinai Peninsula and should be occupied by the British army. This is beyond doubt."

"I thought the Huaxia Empire knew about this, so I didn't inform the Huaxia Empire because it was an indisputable matter."

Cyril put down the coffee cup and looked at Lin Anmin seriously.

"The El-Arish region was occupied by the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the war, and it also extended to the south."

"The Ottoman Empire's Asian theater belongs to the Huaxia Empire. This is what we agreed in advance. Your Excellency, the British army's actions in the Sinai Peninsula have actually violated the treaty."

Lin Anmin's face was also serious, and his eyes stared at Lin Anmin.

"Your Excellency, I have already said that the Sinai Peninsula is part of British Egypt. Therefore, the war in the Sinai Peninsula should not be classified as part of the Asian theater, but should be placed in the African theater."

"I just received the news from London. As you know, Egypt is in the Mediterranean. Now London is busy trying to stop the Germans from reaching out to the sea. It is getting busier and busier, and the news is a bit delayed."

"It was my negligence. I thought the Huaxia Empire had already attacked the seaside, but did not advance to the Sinai Peninsula. I knew about this, so I did not pay attention to it."

"I express my apologies to the Huaxia Empire here, but the Sinai Peninsula is part of Egypt and should belong to the African theater, which is directly under the responsibility of the British Empire's 6th Army."

Cyril and Lin Anmin stared at each other for a long time and then gave up.

"Your Excellency, Sir, the British Army's actions have angered the Minister of the Sixth Army. You did not give any instructions, and the Sixth Army did not receive any notification. Do you know how passive the Sixth Army is?"

"When the sound of artillery fire came from the direction of Arish, we mistakenly thought that the Ottoman army attacked us from the Sinai Peninsula. There were only some engineers there, and the Sixth Army retreated urgently, abandoning a large amount of supplies."

When Lin Anmin said this, he saw Cyril's mouth twitching.

Silil was laughing at his heart at this time, laughing at the 6th Army of the Huaxia Empire.

"In order to deal with possible offensives, the theater Command took out a division from the troops that were not abundant in front of the front line, and even affected the offense of the front line."

"After arriving in the Arish region, we found the British who came from the border. Do you know that the ambassador will not be that if it is not the British crossing the border, the Arish region will be bombed by a heavy artillery group."

"At that time, the artillery was already setting the parameters, and it was 1 point. The conflict broke out because of poor communication. This would only make outsiders laugh and doubt our combat ability."

Lin Anmin looked at Siril, who was not ashamed, and had 1 silk collapse in his heart.

"Fortunately, the British army crossed the control line, otherwise the scandal would break out." Silil said with a smile.

Lin Anmin's eyes twitched 1, and Silil really inherited the fine tradition of the Anglo -Saxons -shameless.

"Sir Siril, I personally prefer the United Kingdom, including Her Majesty in my country. We have a deep friendship with the United Kingdom. This is also the basis for us to join the war."

Hearing this, Silier's face twitched. Isn't the Huaxia Empire joining the war because of benefits? Not to mention, the British payment of military expenses belongs to Huaxia, but this is a great benefit.

Even though Huaxia does not occupy the territory and returns the land after the war, isn't it easy to leave the forces of myself?

"However, the practice of British friends is chilling. I have been asked by the Prime Minister to accept the parliament. The Minister of the 6th Army hopes that I will step down."

"The name of the alternate diplomatic minister is likely to fall into the hands of the 6th school."

Lin Anmin looked at Siril very sadly.

Silil had just made a very sorry appearance on his face, but after Lin Anmin's words turned twice in his head, he immediately showed a surprise expression.

"Big 6?" Cyrir asked at his eyes.

"When the war began, the right to speak of the army will expand. They have suffered us, and His Majesty must also consider the balance of balance. The proportion of the 6th factions in the cabinet will increase, which is doomed."

Lin Anmin nodded and looked at Siril indifferently.

"How can it? How can there be one master and faction diplomat at the war now?" Silil's voice changed a little.

As we all know, Huaxia, an important part of the Huaxia Empire, hates the British, and hates Britain and France very much.

These 1 point, the British themselves know the most. Big smoke traffickers know the harm of Da Yan.

However, because the German Empire was established late, especially the navy's development later, and the abilities of foreign -external interference was weak, they did not take the stolen interests in the Qing Empire in the form of war, but adopted the form of cooperation.

In the military field, the 6th Army of the Sea Empire and the German Sea 6 Army have a far -reaching history of cooperation. Military technology also has friendly cooperation examples with the Qing Empire in Germany.

The first and second large iron armored ships of the Qing Empire Navy were sold at a discount of Germany. The 6th military -style equipment of the Qing Empire was the rifle design drawings and production equipment of the German 1888 Committee.

Even the rifle and ammunition of both sides are common.

The cooperation between the two sides has a long history, and the process of cooperation is more pleasant than cooperating with Britain and France. Therefore, there may be problems with the 6th faction. However, there are no problems with Germany and ten people.

What about Britain? Ten people may hate Britain in ten and 1. Except for 2 traffickers.

1 Once the Foreign Minister of Foreign Foreign Affairs was allowed, not to mention that the Huaxia Empire would stop the war, and the start of War 1 was not so easy to end.

However, the cooperation between Britain and Huaxia in the future is likely to have problems. Huaxia's attitude may be tough, and the progress of the battlefield may also be unsatisfactory.

After all, in the final analysis, no matter who lost and who won this war, the Huaxia Empire could not lose any interests. The Huaxia Empire simply took the benefit to end.

It is only because Britain is the first in the world. France and Huaxia have all League of League. The relationship between the two sides is better and the United Kingdom can bid it. Therefore, the Huaxia Empire stood on the British side.

The British price is waiting for Huaxia to contribute. At present, it seems that the Ottoman Empire has retreated hundreds of kilometers.

The Ottoman Empire in Bulgaria retreated, and the Austro -Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria had to pay more energy to cope with the Russians.

Coupled with the attacks of Italy and Greece in the direction of Central and South Europe, the situation is getting better and better.

At this time, Britain does not want to change.

"Lin, believe me, this is just a misunderstanding ..." Silil suddenly felt that this sentence was a bit familiar ...
