Daming Military Empire

Chapter 667 Breaking up unhappy and starting a full-scale war

Spike felt a burst of deep powerlessness in his heart. It was like this every time he negotiated with the Ming Empire. They were full of confidence, but they were weak and powerless.

There is no way, the Ming Empire is too strong, even if it is unreasonable, you have to listen, because if you refuse to accept it, they will do it without hesitation.

He sorted out his wording, and then said in the most tactful tone possible: "Your Excellency, Marshal, it seems that neither of us mentioned Spain and Portugal in the last treaty, right?"

Sun Chuanting directly shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Spike, please be reasonable. It's as if the two of us were fighting and agreed not to fight. As a result, you rushed to beat my friend as soon as I turned around. Is there any reason for that?"

Reasonable?After all, who is unreasonable? Spain and Portugal were not mentioned in the contract, okay?

There is no way, if someone else's fist is hard, if you want to change your fist hard, Spike will definitely say unceremoniously: "I will hit your friend, what's the matter, if you don't accept it, hit me!"

But, now, they are the weak side, and the Ming Empire has already fought.

He had no choice but to beg for justice: "Your Excellency Marshal, these are two different things. We have signed an armistice treaty, which is different from fighting."

But Sun Chuanting said seriously: "No, Sir Spike, this is the same thing. As soon as we retreated, you rushed to attack our allies. How can there be such a reason?"

This guy is really not good at anything. Spike is really angry, but his purpose of coming to the peace talks is not to anger the Ming Empire, but to let the Ming Empire withdraw its troops. Let's ask the Ming Empire about the conditions for withdrawing troops first. .

He took a deep breath, held back his anger, and said tentatively: "Okay, let's not talk about the armistice treaty. Your Excellency the Marshal must understand what we mean. We hope that your country will stop the invasion of Tsarist Russia immediately. Knowing whether peace is the most important thing in your country, withdraw your troops immediately?"

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "It's not impossible for us to retreat immediately, but you must first show your sincerity."

Sincerity, is it money again?
If it is only a few million taels, it is acceptable, after all, it is not enough to send hundreds of thousands of troops to resist the Ming Empire.

Speke asked hopefully: "I don't know what the sincerity the Marshal is talking about?"

Sun Chuanting heard the words, and said with a blank face: "It's very simple, you immediately lift the blockade of the sea west of Europe, withdraw all warships to their respective countries, and compensate our Ming Empire, Spain and Portugal each with 1000 million taels of silver, we will immediately retreat."

Hearing this, Spike was so angry that he almost spurted blood. This is so simple. Doesn’t it mean that the entire anti-Habsburg alliance has surrendered, surrendered, and quit the sea hegemony from then on!

This is simply impossible. He held back his anger, shook his head resolutely and said, "Your Excellency Marshal, I can tell you responsibly that this is impossible."

Sun Chuanting heard the words, and replied stiffly: "Your Excellency Spike, then I will also tell you responsibly, if you don't retreat, it is impossible for us to retreat."

From the looks of it, it is useless to just give way, we must get some hard guys, Spike said coldly: "Your Excellency, Marshal, do you think you can defeat our entire anti-Habsburg army with only 30 or [-] people?" Alliance? You are forcing us to join forces."

Sun Chuanting also said coldly: "Whether or not to send troops is your business. Anyway, if you don't retreat, we won't. It's as simple as that."

It was too arrogant, Spike couldn't bear it anymore, he directly said angrily: "Your Excellency Marshal, if you insist on not retreating, we have to unite to defend the territory of our allies."

Oh, I even threatened to ask you to send more people, Sun Chuanting coolly provocatively said: "Your Excellency Spike, no matter how you say it, we will not retreat first, we will accompany you at any time. "

The meaning of this is already obvious. When the war starts, the war will start. Who is afraid of whom!
This time, Speke is not as useless as last time, just fight, the six allies can't beat you with 30 to [-] people.

He stood up straight away and said coldly: "Your Excellency Marshal, if this is the case, then we will take our leave."

After all, with a wave of his hand, he turned around and left with the negotiating delegation.

Sun Chuanting didn't even bother to get up, just sat there, and said coldly to Spike's back: "It's easy to go, I won't see you off."

This is clearly a bully, and Sun Chuanting's attitude made the negotiators of the six countries very angry.

After returning to the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia, Spike immediately convened a meeting with them to discuss the issue of supporting Tsarist Russia.

Before these negotiators came, they had more or less been ordered by those in power in various countries, and they also had corresponding authorizations. If the Ming Empire did not retreat, then organize coalition forces to fight against them!

After everyone deliberated, a specific plan was set.

Sweden and Denmark each sent [-] troops to support Tsarist Russia;
Britain and France each provided [-] pieces of artillery to resist the attack of the Ming army;
The Netherlands invested approximately equivalent to 400 million taels of silver as military expenses.

As for Tsarist Russia, they immediately sent people to build a defense line about [-] miles in front of the Ming army, preparing to resist the attack of the Ming Empire.

All countries acted quickly, all kinds of materials were continuously collected to Tsarist Russia, and the troops of Sweden and Denmark also arrived one after another. It seemed that a big war was inevitable.

Sun Chuanting was not intimidated by Spike's threat. He still commanded the army and guarded the construction army to slowly build the railway line to the hinterland of Tsarist Russia.

Tsarist Russia chose to block the location on the west bank of the Wuhe River about [-] miles in front of the Ming army. Since the Wuhe River is an inland river, it is impossible for the Ming Empire navy to enter, so they don't have to worry about the Ming Empire using it. Super battleships ran and bombed the fortifications along the coast.

Moreover, this section of the Wuhe River is almost half a mile wide. Without a bridge, the Ming Empire's army would not be able to reach the other side of the river. Therefore, as long as bastions and forts are built on the other side to prevent the Ming Empire from building bridges, it will be difficult for the Ming Empire to continue the railway. It has been repaired forward, unless they change course, or send troops to detour to the left and right sides of the defense line to take down the defense line first.

Will Sun Chuanting change course?Of course not, he was just trying to fight a war of attrition with the enemy, and he didn't really want to take down the entire Tsarist Russia.

As for the roundabout attack, it is even more impossible. He only brought a total of 20 troops to attack other people's bastions and forts in a roundabout way.

Almost a month later, the Ming army finally repaired the railway to the opposite bank of the anti-Habsburg coalition defense line.

At this time, the Ming army was not eager to attack the coalition defense line, but built a large bastion about ten miles away from the river bank, and also built a large railway station.

After the anti-Habsburg coalition forces waited nervously for almost half a month, the Ming army finally launched an attack.

Dozens of armored combat vehicles lined up on the other side of the river, and slowly advanced to a place less than one mile away from the river. Immediately afterwards, countless artillery roars sounded from behind the armored combat vehicles, with thousands of shells The defense line on the west bank is covered like a dark cloud!

It seems that the Ming army wanted to flatten the defense line first, and then organize people to repair the bridge, or attack in a roundabout way.

Naturally, the anti-Habsburg allied forces would not stand still. They also had thousands of cannons, and they were the latest cannons, and their firepower was not much worse than that of the Ming army.

As a result, the artillery on both sides of the Wuhe River fired together, and the two sides were bombarding each other every day. You come and go, it's so lively, endless, and I don't know how long it will last.
