Chapter 675 The Lost Qing Soldier

In the frontier headquarters of the Basque Defense Forces, Colonel Nuñez panicked like ants on a hot pot.

"What? The Qing army said that their soldiers went hiking during the holidays and strayed into the territory of the Basque Republic, and now they have lost contact."

……

"They actually want to send a search team into our Basque territory?!"

……

"No, you must refuse! The sovereignty and territory of the Basque Republic are inviolable! We can form a Basque search team to help them find the lost soldiers, but we must not allow the Qing army to enter."

……

"What?! Damn it, the Qing army actually said that we detained their soldiers and asked us to hand over the detained soldiers within a time limit, otherwise we will take retaliatory actions."

……

"This is so intentional!"

Nunes felt that his back was covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly called his elder brother Garcia, who was a senior member of the Basque Republic government, and asked, "What's going on? It's not that we have reached a private agreement with Xiqing. , Did you say that you will not invade us? How can you use such a despicable means to attempt to invade us now."

Garcia looked hopeless: "Who knows what's going on with these damned Tartars, I didn't expect them to be so treacherous."

When Garcia thought about it, he didn't think it was right, because if it was said that it was treachery, the Basque Republic also had a part in it. They secretly signed an agreement with Xiqing behind their backs, and in exchange for Xiqing not invading them. It was already a betrayal of Daming.

"What is the idea of ​​the higher-ups? Should we resist? The Qing army is too terrifying. They have more than 100 million troops, but our Basque Defense Army has less than 3 people. Even if the weapons are all equipped by Ming Dynasty, the same France with Ming equipment has lost so thoroughly, what can we Basques do?"

Garcia said to his younger brother Nunez: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, has found a way to contact Daming, but now Daming is no longer stationed in the Basque Country, and the nearest reinforcements from Daming are in Gibraltar. If you want to support us, you have to go through Spain, but Spain It is already a substantive ally with Xiqing..."

Nunes panicked: "Are we Basques doomed?"

Garcia began to regret: "It's all those bastards who are full and have nothing to do. They actually turned their backs on Daming and chose to make peace with the Western Qing. We have joined the Imperial Confederacy for more than 20 years and enjoyed long-term peace and prosperity. If the Western Qing Dynasty makes peace, they will be able to keep safe, and they didn’t even take the war in Europe seriously before, alas!”

No matter how hindsight or hindsight, it is too late now.The two republics of Basque Country and Catalonia initially judged that Xiqing would care a little bit about Daming, and with the continuous capture of Germany and France, they should have been exhausted, so they would choose to stop the war and live in harmony with their neighbors.But it turns out that this is an extremely stupid idea!

Nunez soon discovered that the Qing army had already marched towards the Basque Country without waiting for the time limit for the ultimatum.At the end of the Pyrenees is a very narrow offshore plain, which is also the only way for France to enter the Basque Republic, and can pass armored forces.

The Basque Defense Army was completely unprepared for battle, and was beaten to pieces by the Qing army as soon as they exchanged fire.Even the border between Basque Country and France is a river called Bida Soa, over which is a bridge.The Basque side did not blow up the bridge after receiving the ultimatum. After the Qing army suddenly attacked, it directly grabbed the bridge, and the armored troops covering them drove directly into the border city of Ailang.

Colonel Nunez didn't have many troops in his hands. Seeing that he was defeated, he quickly retreated and asked his superiors for instructions.But what surprised Nunes was that his brother Garcia actually told him that the Basque prime minister had flown to Gibraltar to "seek help".

"The supreme leader has run away, so who will direct our fight?"

Under such circumstances, the Basques had no way to fight at all, so such a country was actually occupied by Uleden's army in less than three days.The Basques are very brave, much more staunch than their government. During the subsequent occupation of the Western Qing Dynasty, the Basques continued to attack, which led to Ulleden's bloody suppression of the Basques many times.

Uladen's army did not only deal with the Basques, and its army broke into Spain immediately.This time, he didn't even think of an excuse, it was an attack of his own accord.After Spain made peace with Xiqing, the security level of the army has dropped, and they did not expect Xiqing to attack them at all, so Uledan broke into the Pyrenees, via the Basque Country, directly took the back road, and defeated Spain The Eastern Front Army, as many as 22 Spanish troops, was defeated by the Uladen Army without knowing what was going on and the entire army surrendered.

Ulerden acted so quickly that he destroyed the Basques within a week, defeated and captured 22 Spanish Eastern Front troops, and threatened Madrid with his troops.

Don't say that Spain and the Basque Country are ignorant, even the Western Qing Empire is ignorant.

Fei Yanggu has just dismissed Cheng Lin from his post and put Cheng Lin under house arrest. The people in the army are fluctuating, and it will take some time to rectify and stabilize. It was used to tear it up, but Feyangu didn't think about dealing with these countries so quickly.

As for Daming, Bai Mingxiu was also shocked by Cheng Lin's sudden dismissal. Many of his arrangements may not be implemented smoothly. In order to prevent the tail from getting stuck, Bai Mingxiu is already preparing to launch a comprehensive counterattack against Xiqing in the near future.

But Bai Mingxiu did not expect that an acting army commander in his twenties would suddenly attack Basques and Spain without the authorization of Fei Yanggu and the Xiqing military, and achieve such a great success.

"I can't wait anymore. Now the Western Qing Empire is simply a car that is out of control but driving at a high speed. There is no way to stop it properly. It must be stopped by external force!"

"It is wishful thinking in an ideal state to expect the war to destroy every country in Europe and let us take over. Now is the time for Ming to raise his weapon."

On October 24, the 1688th year of Guangfu (10), Bai Ming revised and signed a military order, and the three armies of the Ming Dynasty launched a general attack on the Western Qing Empire in order to completely eliminate this enemy.The battle between the two powers that the whole world is waiting for has officially kicked off.
