super god warlord

Under Zhao Shouhong's order, the joint defense militias in various villages in western Sichuan entered a state of emergency, and the factory protection teams of various companies' factories also declared martial law.The caravan suspended external transportation, and all the officials who entered the cities to work also hid in the properties of the Hanxing Group to avoid disasters.The [-]th Route Patrol Battalion and the New Army assembled in an emergency to protect the various industries of the Hanxing Group Company and tightly block the roads to prevent the uprising from spreading to western Sichuan.

Under such circumstances, except for the [-] Eighth Banner soldiers and the thirty standard new troops who had just arrived, Duan Fang could not mobilize a single soldier.He had to face the enemy with an extremely inferior force and a large number of comrades. As a result, the officers and troops retreated steadily during the battle, and soon gave up half of the capital of Shu.

Just when Zhong Chuan was in the middle of a coma, a distinguished guest was ushered in.The Baoyuan Bureau in the post-golden era is an important national coin-making institution. It was originally stationed in Shidaren Hutong. Later, due to the need for expansion, it moved to a new location, and this place was vacated.

A few months ago, the Minister of the Teutonic Kingdom suddenly sent a note to the Houjin court, saying that Crown Prince William of the Teutonic Kingdom decided to come to visit, and hoped that the Houjin Empire would give corresponding treatment.In the history of the Later Jin Dynasty, this was the first time that foreign dignitaries came to visit, so the Regent Zaifeng and the Queen Mother Longyu both paid great attention to it.

When choosing the mansion, someone suggested that the former site of the Baoyuan Bureau in Shi Daren Hutong had a good location, and the house was big enough and spacious enough to house the Teutonic crown prince with just some renovations.Soon the imperial court built a guest house on this old site. This guest house was three stories high, surrounded by Gothic-style stone pillars and Western-style gardens, and it soon became the most luxurious Western-style hotel in the entire imperial city. architecture.

On the morning of December [-]th, the ground was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, but many officials led by Yikuang were standing on the official road outside Xuanwu Gate in cotton-padded clothes, waiting anxiously for something.When the sun was high, a large group of black shadows rushed towards this place.The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and everyone quickly saw clearly that it was a large-scale Teutonic state salute guard in gorgeous clothes, and among them was a luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses.

"Here we come." Yi Kuang waved his hands excitedly, leading many ministers to greet him.Zhao Shouhong, who had always been hiding in the ranks of officials to avoid the wind, stretched out his head. He secretly cursed that Crown Prince William came at an untimely time. He wrapped up his clothes and followed quickly.

Seeing someone greet them in front, Crown Prince William's team stopped.The door of the carriage opened, and Crown Prince William, who was dressed in a gorgeous military uniform, got out of the carriage, and under the protection of a group of guards, he walked quickly towards Yikuang and the others. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is welcome. The old minister welcomes His Royal Highness on behalf of the Empress Dowager and the Regent of our country."

The imaginary arrogance did not appear, but Crown Prince William bowed a little humbly and said: "Your Excellency is too polite, I am very honored to be received by the Prime Minister." Although the accent is rather strange, Crown Prince William unexpectedly Being able to speak Hualan language surprised all the ministers present.

"I didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to be so knowledgeable. This old man really opened his eyes." Yi Qiang complimented the other party with a smile.

"This is the credit of my good friend Zhao Shouhong. He seems to be an official here too." Crown Prince William said.

As soon as this sentence came out, all the officials fell into a state of shock, and they all looked at Zhao Shouhong who was in the back row.Zhao Shouhong was only from the first rank. Facing so many first-rank and super-rank officials, he could only be in the second row. However, at this time Crown Prince William asked to see him, so he naturally left the team with a smile.

"Your Highness, the crown prince, come here safe and sound. Because of my low official position, I can only be in the back." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile, he said this in Hualan, and he looked at Yiqiang next to him while speaking.

"I wonder if I can go with my dear Hong?" Crown Prince William asked Yikuang with a smile.

"Of course." The smile on Yikuang's face was obviously unnatural, but he didn't dare not agree at this moment.As the first-rate force among the great powers, the Teutonic Kingdom was naturally not something he could offend.As a result, at the city entry ceremony, Zhao Shouhong and Crown Prince William walked side by side, and Yikuang accompanied him, as if he were a housekeeper.

"Why did His Royal Highness come to the Houjin Empire? I heard that the recent situation in the Western Continent is not peaceful. Do you have so much free time?" Zhao Shouhong walked side by side with Crown Prince William, in order not to let Yikuang understand what he said Teutonic.

Chapter 338 The Crown Prince's Request

"The situation is indeed not optimistic. Six months ago, the Raksha State and the Roman State signed an agreement. They reached an understanding to carve up the Balkans together. The Roman State supported the Raksha State to seize the Black Sea Strait, while the Raksha State supported the Italian Rome captured Tripoli, and the situation in the western continent is already very difficult to control." Crown Prince William said with a vertical shoulder: "That's why I came to the Later Jin Empire, hoping to find a way to restrain the Raksha people. Besides, it is to send your goods Bring it here."

"Bring the goods? Did you bring them to the imperial capital?" Zhao Shouhong was taken aback. He only ordered one batch of goods from the Teutonic Kingdom, which were large-caliber fortress guns. If these items were shipped to the imperial capital for delivery, he would You will be charged with attempted treason.

Crown Prince William raised his shoulders: "Do you think I look like an idiot? Of course they were sent to your forces in the south, and now they are all put in Kyaukpyu Port."

Zhao Shouhong heaved a sigh of relief, he was secretly glad that he had written the delivery address in Guokang Kingdom.The artillery is much easier to handle in Kyaukpyu Port, so that the defense can be strengthened to prevent the Saar who just wiped out the Zhaini uprising from threatening themselves from the sea.Zhao Shouhong touched his chin and said, "That's good, but I want to remind you that Rome is getting closer and closer to the Allied Powers, so you have to be on guard against his betrayal."

"Betrayal?" Crown Prince William frowned. He couldn't understand this term. In fact, this Teutonic noun was a new word created by later Teutonic languages, and its original meaning was derived from Hualan.Today's Hualan language does not have a lofty status in the world, and no country will create a new vocabulary based on Hualan language, so Crown Prince William cannot understand this word.

Zhao Shouhong knew that he was wrong, and he explained with a smile: "Rebellion means rebellion. I won't be surprised if Rome joins the Allied Powers."

"It is indeed possible, because we cannot support Rome's annexation of the Balkans, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also interested in this." Crown Prince William said.

"In fact, there is a more urgent problem. A riot is brewing in Morocco. I estimate that there will be problems there in the next few months. If the Gaul Kingdom sends troops to occupy Fes under the pretext of maintaining order and protecting the expatriates, you You need to prepare early." Zhao Shouhong said.

"Really?" Crown Prince William's eyes were fixed: "This is a problem. We have often had conflicts with the Gauls on the Morocco issue. I want to inform my father as soon as possible."

Zhao Shouhong disclosed the impending second Moroccan crisis to Crown Prince William in such a cryptic manner.Now Zhao Shouhong has made up his mind, he will try his best to help the Teutonic state become stronger so as to counter the Allies.Even if the Teutonic Kingdom is the ultimate loser, he will try to delay this time as much as possible to buy enough time for Hualan to develop, and he will also inflict greater trauma on the Western Continent powers.

The First World War in history was known as the war that wiped out a generation of Gauls, and what Zhao Shouhong wanted was to drain the blood of the Gauls and make the Saars bleed profusely.In today's world, Saar is a well-deserved overlord. If you want to become a new overlord, you must defeat the old one. This is exactly what the Teutonic people want to do.Also wanting to become the overlord is the White Eagle Country, but although the current White Eagle Country has strong industrial capabilities, it does not have the military strength to challenge the overlord.

If Saar is still the overlord, it will always focus on the western continent and be attracted by the Teutonic country, which is good for the White Eagle country.The situation of Teutonic and Saar is different. Because it is an island country, Saar must focus most of its attention on the development of the navy. The weakened army makes it doomed to check and balance, but it cannot use the power of the entire western continent to develop grow.

In this war, once the Teutonic country becomes the overlord, it will use its powerful army to integrate the resources of most of the western continent, which is the biggest threat to the White Eagle country that wants to dominate.So Zhao Shouhong can be sure that no matter how powerful the Teutonic State is, the White Eagle State will support the Allies.So what he has to do is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then use the Teutonic country to involve the three countries of Saar, White Eagle, and Gaul in the vortex of war, so that he can profit from it.

Zhao Shouhong chatted happily with Crown Prince William, while Yikuang forced a smile beside him, while the other officials lowered their heads and no one dared to speak.Because of the different rules of etiquette and the fact that the Empress Dowager Longyu did not want to see foreigners, Crown Prince William did not go to the court to meet the emperor and the empress dowager. He was directly led to the post that had already been built.

Looking at the luxurious posthouse, Crown Prince William raised his eyebrows, and he said to Zhao Shouhong, "Do you live here?"

"Of course not, I have my own residence." Zhao Shouhong smiled.

Crown Prince William shook his head: "I have a lot to talk to you, can't I live with you?" In today's Western Continent, it is a very honorable and common thing for a minister to receive a head of state at his home. things, but this is not allowed in the East.

"His Royal Highness, this matter is a bit difficult to handle. According to our custom of empress dowagers, foreign distinguished guests have to stay in the guest house, and it is not appropriate to stay in the courtier's home." At this time, the Teutonic translator was finally able to get closer, and he Acted as an interpreter for Yikuang.

Crown Prince William nodded and said, "In this case, can Zhao Shouhong also move into the guest house?" Yikuang looked at the ministers next to him. They didn't know how close the Teutonic Crown Prince was to Zhao Shouhong. , but at least after today's situation, no one in the court would dare to embarrass Zhao Shouhong anymore.

Zhao Shouhong looked at Yikuang, and even Crown Prince William looked over.Yikuang didn't dare to offend foreigners, let alone such a well-known foreigner, he nodded reluctantly: "That's it, I will immediately report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and appoint Mr. Zhao as the special envoy to receive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "

Under the strong request of Crown Prince William, Zhao Shouhong had no choice but to bid farewell to Xiaocui and live in the guest house.Seizing this opportunity, Zhao Shouhong wanted to get close to Crown Prince William. As long as he had time, he would start to indoctrinate the Crown Prince on the future situation in the Western Continent.

These histories that should have happened in the future were instilled in Crown Prince William by Zhao Shouhong under the pretext of his personal opinion, which greatly impressed him and an officer who came with him.Zhao Shouhong inadvertently asked a question and found out that the accompanying military officer was the famous Zekt in later generations.

Zeckert served as the chief of staff of the No.1915 Army in 11. He cooperated with the commander of the Army Mackensen and led the No.11 Army to participate in the Battle of Gorlice Tarnov.

Chapter 339 War Game Deduction

In this battle, they quickly broke through the Raksha army's defense line, advanced [-] kilometers, and completely pulled out the Raksha army's salient in Bailan.Later, Zeckert planned to complete the full occupation of Serbia, which can be described as one of the few generals of the Teutonic Army shining on the Eastern Front.Of course, these are all Zeckert's future actions, and now he is just a small major staff officer in the staff headquarters.

"I think that once the Teutonic and Sargauls fall into a stalemate, the Teutonic will lose the war. If time drags on for a long time, the White Eagle is likely to join the Allied Powers to fight, so that the Teutonic The country will be very difficult." Zhao Shouhong analyzed it for the two.

"I don't agree with your idea." Crown Prince William said: "I think the war will end in three to six months. If we attack Gaul in the spring, we can go home in the fall."

"You are too optimistic. I think the Teutonic war plan is too risky. If there is any mistake, the war will be dragged into a protracted war." Zhao Shouhong said.

"I think as long as we follow Stephen's plan, we can quickly occupy Paris and force Gaul to submit." Zhao Shouhong has already stated the content of this plan before, and they naturally don't need to keep it secret.

"As long as it's a plan, there are loopholes that can be exploited. Are you sure the Gauls don't know about this plan?" Zhao Shouhong looked at the two of them: "Besides, what you have to face first is not the country of Gaul, but the country of Belgium. .”

"Belgium is just a small country, and it can be easily won by us." Crown Prince William said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "That is not necessarily the case. Of course, the comparison of national strength can analyze the outcome, but it is not certain how long it can last. Stephen's plan must first invade the country of Belgium, and then cut into the country of Gaul from the northwest The main point is to be quick, to defeat the Gauls in one fell swoop before they react. But once you invade the country of Belgium, the country of Gaul will understand your intentions. If the country of Belgium can hold on for a week , Gaul will have enough time to mobilize troops to plug this gap."

"Why did Billy delay us for a week?" Zeckert was very interested in what Zhao Shouhong said.

"Scorching Sun Fortress." Although Zhao Shouhong's words were only four simple words, they both gasped.

The Liege Fortress is located at the confluence of the Meuse River and the Urt River, bordering the border of the Red-haired country in the north and the Ardennes Forest in the south.There are twelve forts built around the fortress. The circumference of the ring-shaped fort group is more than [-] kilometers, and the distance between the forts is three to six kilometers. There are [-] artillery pieces deployed.In this era, Lieyang Fortress is as famous as Namur Fortress, and it is one of the best large-scale fortresses in the Western Continent, and it is considered invincible.

"According to you, Stephen's plan cannot succeed at all?" Crown Prince William said.

"That's good, how about we do a war game?" Zhao Shouhong knew that Stephen's plan had a very high status in the Teutonic military. If he directly said that Stephen's plan would not work, it would be difficult for the two of them to accept it.

"Okay, I will play the Allied Powers group, you will play the Allied Powers, let's have a war game." Zekert nodded in agreement.What surprised Zhao Shouhong was that Zeckert carried a set of war chess with him, which shows his obsession with military affairs.Zhao Shouhong couldn't help being secretly surprised when he saw the opponent's eyes flickering with wargames. He also wanted to equip his officers with some wargamers. It is definitely a good habit for tactical commanders to play with them frequently.

"The Red Army is the Allied Powers, and the Blue Army is the Allied Powers. I'm deploying them according to the current strength of each country. There shouldn't be any problem," Zeckert said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "As far as I know, all countries have a complete reserve recruitment system. Once a war starts, the troops of each country will be several times more out of thin air in at most two weeks, so I think the recruitment potential of each country should be included in the calculation. "

Zeckert said: "I think the war will end in three to six months. Such a battle will be decided two weeks ago, so I don't think there is a need to consider the issue of reserves."

"War is a very delicate matter, and any mistakes or omissions may delay it for a month or even longer." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "Well, let's first evaluate the war potential of each country and not put it on the chessboard for the time being. Let's let His Royal Highness is the referee, if the war drags on for more than half a month, how about joining these troops?"

"Okay." Zeket nodded, and he finally agreed.
