Iron Dynasty

Venice.

Franz came here after the arrival of the imperial army. When he saw the imperial soldiers armed to the teeth, his gloomy mood suddenly improved.

Your Majesty Franz, this is Ye Qingyun, Commander of the Southwest Military Region, one of the six military regions of the Empire. Lu Jun introduced to Franz.

The situation in Europe deteriorated in a blink of an eye, so Ye Qingyun was dispatched to Suez City to temporarily take charge of European affairs.

After all, as the empire deploys troops all over the world, the jurisdiction of the six military regions can no longer be limited to the country, but to look globally.

Commander Ye, I'm very glad that you can come to Austria. Franz was a little surprised. After signing the treaty with the empire, he made up for the situation of the empire, and was very aware of the weight of the military commander.

Just from this point is enough to see that the Empire attaches great importance to Austria, which makes him very happy.

Protecting allies is the responsibility of the empire, and of course it's mine. Ye Qingyun smiled. Lu Jun was from the Southwest Military Region. Because of this, he was ordered to come here to direct the war in person.

As soon as he got the order, he came here by boat, who had been idle in the country and had nothing to love. At the same time, he also took out 36 tanks from the tanks that the Southwest Army had just equipped and brought them here.

Now the tanks are being hoisted from the transport ship.

Ye Qingyun's words made Franz even more at ease. He said, The situation in Austria is urgent now, and I hope Commander Ye can save his life.

Hearing this, Ye Qingyun's expression became serious, and he said: In this case, I hope Your Majesty will tell us the current situation in Austria and the specific situation of the war zone. The first batch of landing troops this time is only 8,000 people, and I will lead these 8 people. Thousands stop the French and Prussian advance, and follow-up reinforcements from the Reich will arrive one after another until all our enemies are driven out of Austria.

After a pause, Ye Qingyun continued: But this operation involves the cooperation between the Austrian and imperial armies. I hope Your Majesty can send the participating troops to cooperate with us to conduct a running-in exercise during this time, and then hand over the command of the battlefield to us. .

Franz was stunned for a moment. The command of the army is a very sensitive matter, but he still nodded with gritted teeth when he thought of the crisis facing Austria.

At this time, in order to appease Franz, Ye Qingyun specially led Franz to visit the equipment of the empire.

When he saw machine guns, mortars, tanks, and troop transport vehicles that he had never seen before, Franz had a strong smile on his face.

In his view, they have hope of victory in this war.

In the next six days, Ye Qingyun and Lu Jun were not idle. They divided their troops to fight Prussia all the way north and fight France all the way west.

At the same time, they mastered the temporary command right of the Austrian army on the battlefield, and used six days to complete the coordinated exercise of the two armies.

In Article 7, Ye Qingyun led four thousand imperial soldiers to personally go north to deal with Henry's French army.

This only uses imperial equipment, and he is interested in the battle-hardened French army.

...

Paris.

When Henry learned that the imperial army had landed in Venice, his face changed greatly. From the beginning, he did not believe that the empire would really help the absolutely weak Austria, but now facts have proved everything.

In the face of the Haikou he boasted, he can't back down now.

After a simple hesitation, he immediately ordered the front-line army to elect a backup officer immediately. Once the main officer was shot and killed, the backup officer would immediately be on the top, so that the army would not be in chaos after losing an officer.

The reason for making this decision was that Henry took into account the existence of imperial snipers. During the war to unify France, he had seen the power of imperial snipers.

It is conceivable that now it is his turn to face these terrifying battlefield killing gods.

The three snipers should really be kept. Henry regretted it a lot. After Austria withdrew, the three snipers of the empire left. At that time, he hadn't turned against the empire.

At the same time, Ferrell II also got the news soon. After being slightly surprised, Ferrell II also did not choose to retreat.

Like Henry, now they have been tied to the chariot, this contest with the Empire must be fought.

...

Vaduz.

After leaving Venice, Ye Qingyun came to the war front after a day's trek.

When the imperial soldiers arrived in the trenched battlefield in green-painted military transport vehicles, the entire Austrian army boiled.

They have learned that the country and the empire have signed a pact, so they are psychologically prepared for the arrival of the imperial army.

Ye Qingyun got out of his jeep and waved to the Austrian soldiers in the trenches. Franz's eldest son, Obina, got down with him.

The 24-year-old Austrian prince insisted on coming to the front line with Ye Qingyun, while cooperating with Ye Qingyun's command of the Austrian army.

After getting out of the car, Obina immediately summoned the officers to meet with Ye Qingyun and announced Franz's decision.

There are still 60,000 Austrian soldiers here. Vaduz is an extremely important city for us. If it is occupied by France, Vienna will directly face the threat of France. Obina introduced to Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun nodded. He had a good feeling for the humble young man Obina. This time they arrived here first, and the follow-up 40,000 reinforcements from Austria are still on the way, and it is estimated that it will take three days to arrive.

In order not to let Vaduz's front line collapse, he arrived here ahead of schedule.

In the face of a two-line battlefield, despite the strong national strength of Austria, it is a bit overwhelming. After Ye Qingyun's understanding, the veterans of the Austrian frontline are now damaged a lot, and they are all at the forefront.

The ones who came later were just recruits, and the 40,000 people supported this time were recruits.

With me here, Vaduz's defense line is as solid as a rock. Ye Qingyun is very confident.

After all, he immediately let the machine gunners enter the trenches and built machine gun positions in the trenches.

Most of the empire's support materials to France were rifles, and artillery was a direct-fire gun, but with the explosives, the power was not small.

Therefore, the real threat to them on the battlefield is these artillery pieces. As long as they destroy the enemy's artillery, their pressure will be much less.

The best target to suppress such direct-fire guns is undoubtedly snipers. After all, the Empire's sniper rifles have a long range and can completely restrain the enemy's artillery, so he ordered snipers to enter the battlefield to find suitable shooting points to kill the French artillery.

Of course, this is not the big killer this time. The thirty-six tanks are his weapon to break through the French army this time.

For him, offense is the best defense, and he doesn't bother to spend time squatting in the trenches.
