Chapter 1356
Although Zhan Botao was very dissatisfied with the situation of the southern team led by him in the southern part of Kerman, Cui Wenxiu, as the head coach, was quite satisfied with the current situation.
The situation in the south of Kerman was in a stalemate, but this was exactly what Cui Wenxiu hoped to achieve. This time, the troops sent by the Hansen Alliance were two corpses of the Principal of Hanover and one corps of the Principal of Thuringian, totaling 210,000 people. The Thuringian Corps was firmly attracted by Ying Jianming's Indian and German Legion in Dexin Province. Now it was too late to withdraw. The First Hannover Corps was divided into two units, with defenses in the eastern part of Kerman Province and Kerman Province. It was obvious that the other party also regarded the southern line cluster led by Zhan Botao as the main force, and believed that the Tang army in Kerman Province and the eastern part of Kerman were feinted attacks to attract troops. This was exactly what Cui Wenxiu meant, and it was also the advantage of Cui Wenxiu's multi-way attack.
The fierce battle in the southern part of the Kermann Province continued. Although the Hanover Second Corps had the advantage with the reinforcements of the reserve force brought by Suvorov and kept oppressing the Tang army to retreat, it was this undefeated posture that made Suvorov feel guilty. The Tang army obviously deliberately created the current situation and deliberately continued the situation. They could not have known that if they persisted like this, they would pay a great price in the end, but the other party was still like this. This only means that the enemy must have conspiracy, and the danger seemed to be from the Khuro Province or the eastern part of Kermann.
The news that part of the First Hanover Corps was surrounded in the ancient city of Bam in the eastern part of Kermann was like a stick hit Suvorov on the head, making him look at the stars.
Suvorov knew the combat effectiveness of the First Corps of Hannover. It was the leading main force of the Principality of Hannover among the three major allies of the Hansen Alliance. Even if it was three 10,000 teams, according to Suvorov, even if it had twice the strength, the Tang army would not be able to easily defeat them, let alone encircle and annihilate them.
But the facts were in front of him. The enemy dispatched four divisions, that is, ninety thousand troops surrounded the three 10,000 troops of the First Corps of Hannover. Suvorov understood the situation of Bam's ancient city. It was purely an ancient city that had been abandoned for hundreds of years. It was neither inhabited nor had any defensive value. Moreover, the castle was completely surrounded by mounds and turquoises that had been almost weathered, and it had no meaning at all. The Tang army chose to surround them here, with the purpose of trapping them alive here, if there were no reinforcements.
Misfortunes never come in singularity, and blessings are unparalleled. Unfavorable news came from part of the First Hanoverian Army defending the Khuro Province. The Tang army also launched a full-scale offensive on this line, crossing the capital of the Khuro Province from both wings, and the troops were also three times that of their own. This unit had been forced to withdraw from Mashhad and retreat to the Mana Province.
Suvorov, who received this news, was a little desperate. The Tang army seemed to be determined to win this time, and his own strength was far inferior to the other side. The other side seemed to have figured out his own tactics. In a way that was similar to his own strength, he was fighting to the death. He drew superior forces to encircle and annihilate his own weak parts. This tactic, which could not be said to be too clever, seems very simple, but it is a stubborn truth. He reduced ten times with one force and spoke entirely by strength. Perhaps the combat effectiveness of the opponent's troops is not stronger than his own, but the opponent can cleverly take advantage of the weakness of his own defense line and insufficient army number, adopt a comprehensive and multi-point attack to siege, so that he can get into trouble step by step. Now the letter of help he sent to the senior executives of the Allied Army seems to have no news yet. How can Suvorov not feel helpless?
Bergen City - the headquarters of the Hansen League, the Hansen League administrative agency is located in a white palace in the city, known as the Shimbrun Palace, also known as the Schonbrun Palace. The hot springs around the palace are also famous throughout the Western Continent. The politicians of the Hansen League are accustomed to soaking in the hot spring bath after a day of fatigue, especially in winter when taking a ski in Ashan District and then soaking in the hot springs. This kind of life is simply hard to compare with.
The hot air in the hot spring pool was rising, and some ugly bodies with some shriveled or big belly were soaked in the water. The unhealthy skin turned slightly red under the soaking of the hot spring water. Red wine and goblet glasses were casually placed in the tray beside the pool, and some fruits seemed to be more like a salon party place.
"Salz, it seems that the situation is a bit bad. The news that Suvorov sent back from West India and Germany is very pessimistic. The Tang army gathered nearly 500,000 troops in the surrounding areas of West India and Germany, which is more than twice the number of our troops stationed in West India and Germany. Moreover, the Nietites in several provinces of West India and Germany are still constantly launching rebellions. Suvorov has already reported the situation in Tanzania in the letter. If we no longer send more reinforcements, I am afraid that everything we have obtained in West India and Germany will be wasted. Fermi, this idiot, actually believed the lies of the Tang people and wanted to reach a gentleman agreement with the Tang people. Hum, as a result, he was deceived by the other party. Suvorov is also a veteran. How could he believe the idiot Fermi?"
The fat old man who was talking tiredly leaned his head against the edge of the pool and polished it to the pillow for guests to relax. The hot mist floated up, and a wide bath towel was draped on his exposed chest and back. A tuft of chest hair was soaked by water and stuck to his chest, which always looked less coordinated.
The Hansen Alliance was not a very close alliance at the beginning of its establishment. The reason why the alliance countries formed this alliance was largely due to the needs of external military pressure. The Famini Empire in the west and the Augsburg Empire in the southwest both posed considerable pressure on the eastern countries of the Hansen Alliance. The nomadic peoples in the north are one of the most realistic and greatest threats to the entire alliance countries. One or even two invasions a year will bring heavy losses to the alliance countries, especially the people of the northern countries, who feel that they can't sleep at night and can't sleep during winter and spring. Due to the process of economic integration, the interests of the alliance countries are more consistent. The alliance not only cooperates more closely in military terms, but also in other aspects, such as political, economic and religious policies, which are reflected in the fact that they are more united in foreign policy.
"Duke Blatban, Fermi was like this because he reduced the military pressure for the alliance. However, he did believe too much in the cunning Tang people. The saying that soldiers never get tired of deceit is regarded as a classic among the Tang people. What we need to consider now is what we should do now. We have spent a lot of effort to obtain the West Indian and Germans. I am afraid that we will find it difficult for us to explain it to the people. Duke Menet, you are the commander of the military in our alliance. What about your opinion?" Saltz's face was so hot. Viscount Fermi arranged for the West Indian and Germans himself. This guy stabbed himself such a big miss. Fortunately, the military made the final decision. Suvorov also admitted in the letter that he underestimated the enemy, which was considered to have relieved the pressure on Saltz's side.
"It depends on the meaning of the alliance. We have only mobilized within a certain range. This time, the West Indian and Germans have only drawn troops from the Principality of Hanover and the Principality of Thuringia. If the scope of mobilization is further expanded, it is probably necessary for the heads of allied countries to discuss. We alone may not be able to make this decision."
The answer to Saltz's words was Duke Menett, the commander of the Standing Army of the Alliance, who was in charge of the Hanson League, mobilized the Hanson League. The Hanson League was divided into two categories according to the regulations. One was the Standing Army of the Alliance. The member states of the alliance were drawn from their respective national defense forces based on the national strength of each country and city-state, and the Standing Army of each alliance was formed to form a standing army. For example, the Second Corps of Hannover and the First Corps of Thuringia were all arranged in the standing army, but they did not belong to the Standing Army of the Hannover. The reason why the Hannover 1st Corps, which was not a standing army, was allowed to fight this time because the Principality of Hannover directly bordered the West Indian and Germanian. The gains and losses of West Indian and Germanian were more beneficial to the Principality of Hannover. Before sending troops, Menett also won the promise of the Principality of Hannover to allow the First Corps of Hannover to go on an expedition.
Although Menet has the right to handle the daily military affairs of the alliance, when a large-scale military operation is really required, it is necessary to obtain authorization from the heads of all countries. It is not only the armies of various countries other than the standing army, but even the scale of the operations of the standing army exceeds a certain range.
"But it will take at least two weeks to obtain the consent of the heads of various countries. I'm afraid that the Tang army will have already reached our doorstep at that time." Saltz shook his head, and he was also frustrated by the current situation in West India and Germany. "Duke Menet, it seems that there are two mobile corpses in your standing army, the White Stork Corps of Defien and the First Corps of the Spartan Kingdom. Can't these two troops be used?"
