Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

When Sterk and the Governor of Malacca arrived on the battleship King Qin Huiwen, they were welcomed to a certain extent.

After all, as the largest empire in the Far East and a world power, the Empire still needs to pay attention to some etiquette.

As the saying goes, a great country must be magnanimous.

But when it comes to negotiations, that’s not the case. Both Sha Zhenhai and the two division commanders in the Beijing camp are professional soldiers. They don't know the diplomatic rhetoric of diplomats and can only be direct.

As the commander of the imperial fleet, Sha Zhenhai is the highest among all imperial officials in terms of rank.

Therefore, Sha Zhenhai was mainly responsible for this negotiation.

Sha Zhenhai obviously knew the behavior of diplomats who said one thing and did another. Therefore, he had no intention of using diplomatic language with the Governor of Malacca, and he did not have the time.

Therefore, as soon as he came up, he asked the Governor of Malacca to surrender unconditionally, and the empire could guarantee the personal safety of all of them.

However, the Governor of Malacca clearly wanted more.

However, all his appeals were rejected by Sha Zhenhai, who only told the governor that they could either surrender unconditionally and the empire would be responsible for their safety and abide by international law, or ask the governor to go back and let us continue the fight.

It was obvious that the governor was put off by Sha Zhenhai's bachelor character.

If they wanted to continue fighting, why did he come here?

In the end, the governor had no choice but to agree to Sha Zhenhai's request and let the John Empire soldiers stationed in Malacca lay down their weapons and walk out of the fortifications.

The imperial soldiers took over Malacca City and began to clear the ruins of Malacca City while also setting up defenses in the north of the city.

Malacca City is actually located at the southernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula, with Malaysia to the north. Although in Lin Yi's plan, Malaysia is also an area that the empire needs to control, the empire is still unable to take action against him.

At this time, the John Empire still had some troops stationed in Malaysia, probably only five battalions.

However, these five battalions are scattered throughout Malaysia and there is no way to gather them in a short time.

After all, the most important place in the entire Malay Peninsula is Malacca, where the John Empire deployed heavy troops.

Logically speaking, the John Empire soldiers in Malaysia were also under the management of the Governor of Malacca, but when the Governor of Malacca asked them to put down their weapons, these people directly refused.

In fact, that's right. After all, they haven't been severely beaten by the empire and don't know how dangerous the world is.

However, they are not stupid either. They know that with their small force, they cannot even protect themselves, let alone recapture the city of Malacca.

Therefore, the five battalions of the John Empire stationed in Malaysia passed directly through the Kingdom of Siam and ran to the Kingdom of Taungoo without even saying hello.

When Sha Zhenhai saw the John Empire soldiers running away on the other side, he thought about letting the Beijing camp cross the Haihe River and enter Malaysia.

But after his idea was reported to the military department, it was rejected by the military department.

The reason is that the empire is currently preparing to attack the Kingdom of Siam, but the Dongchuan Army has not yet boarded the ship. Entering Siam at this time will make the other party wary of the empire.

In order to be able to carry out a sneak attack, the empire now needs to show goodwill to Siam and make the other party feel that the empire has no idea about them.

When the Dongchuan Army attacked Siam, the Beijing Camp stationed in Malacca City dispatched a division to go north to occupy Malaysia, and cooperated with the Dongchuan Army to launch an attack on southern Siam.

When Sha Zhenhai saw the order from the military department, he could only put out the idea of ​​occupying the Malay Peninsula and advancing into Siam now.

Move the timeline back a little.

On the same day that Sha Zhenhai led the imperial fleet to engage in a naval battle with the Malacca fleet, Lin Yi ordered Long Xiang's army to begin moving south.

On January 1913, 1, the entire Longxiang Army, 9 strong, set foot on the train heading south.

On January 1, the deployment of the entire Longxiang Army was completed. From Gui Province to Yun Province, the Longxiang Army pulled out a front line of several hundred kilometers, intending to simultaneously attack Southeast Asia, Annan, and Gao under the control of the Gallic Empire from three directions. Cotton, the Toungoo Kingdom controlled by John's empire launched an attack.

It is worth mentioning that this time, Lin Yi assigned three armored brigades to the Longxiang Army to test the actual combat effectiveness of the imperial tanks in the tropical jungles of the south.

In the early morning of January 1, the Longxiang Army launched an attack on Southeast Asia at night and began to actively attack the Gallic Empire and the John Empire entrenched in Southeast Asia.

As an empire that has influenced the structure of the Southeast region for thousands of years, and was also the former suzerain of various countries in Southeast Asia, the banner Lin Yi asked Long Xiang's army to use this time was to liberate Southeast Asia.

At this time, Fang Xiao's Statistics Bureau agent played a huge role.

As Southeast Asia that the empire had wanted to acquire a long time ago, Fang Xiao had already had people infiltrate Southeast Asia.

He contacted the royal families colonized by the John Empire and the Gallic Empire throughout Southeast Asia, telling them that the empire wanted to help them regain power.

What they need to do is to let their cronies go to the rear of the Allied Powers to riot and attack the Allied Powers' logistics line when the Empire launches an attack.

After the Empire expelled the Kingdom of John and the Kingdom of Gaul, these countries only needed to ensure that they recognized the Empire as their suzerain state as before.

It has to be said that the empire's reputation for thousands of years is still very valuable in Southeast Asia.

The same colonization, but under the beautification of imperial literati, made all countries in Southeast Asia gravitate towards the empire.

In fact, these small Southeast Asian countries also have their own frustrations. They have clearly seen the essence of this era, which is to eat people without spitting out their bones.

If your own country has no strength, it will be eaten up by a powerful country sooner or later. Since there is no way to change this situation, no matter what choice you make, you will be colonized.

So why not choose a better master?

The empire has a certain amount of respect, and when it eats meat itself, it also gives some soup to Southeast Asian countries.

Moreover, the relationship between the empire and the Southeast Asian countries was already a vassal state and a suzerain state before there were any Johns.

The two sides have a good foundation for cooperation, and the empire's influence on Southeast Asia is also transcendent.

Therefore, after Fang Xiao approached the royal families of various Southeast Asian countries, these royal families agreed to Fang Xiao's request without even thinking about it.

At this time, the empire had begun the campaign to regain Southeast Asia. The royal families of these small countries asked their cronies to take action to cooperate with the imperial army and expel the Western Barbarians.

Suddenly, throughout Southeast Asia, the Johns and Gauls became like rats crossing the street, and everyone shouted for beatings.

Whether on the front line or in the rear, wars are being fought and guns are being fired everywhere.

On the front lines, the people of Southeast Asia led the way for the imperial army, conveyed information, and transported supplies.

In the rear, these people began to dig roads and pull out railway tracks again, trying every means to cause trouble for the John Empire and the Gallic Empire.

The governors of the two countries in Southeast Asia knew that there were royal families behind these things, but in the face of the Longxiang Army's attack, they did not have the extra troops to deal with these royal families.

If one of them is not handled well, it will be a large-scale rebellion.

This made the governors of the two countries very worried.
