Qu Bo was very satisfied. It seemed that these guys were quite aware of the current affairs. They were not as submissive as those aristocratic businessmen who were always submissive and submissive. Especially that Alebirja was a man who knew the elegance of the music when he heard it. , it was revealed immediately, and they immediately agreed and were willing to communicate and coordinate, and now it seems that the effect is quite good. The number of attacks on the garrison in Sikkim has been greatly reduced, and some people have begun to reluctantly show their willingness to cooperate with the empire. This is A good start. As long as he can control the current stable situation until the imperial army lands in Sikkim, everything can be left to the officials of the Government Affairs Council to solve.
The people who followed Qu Bo and the First Division to land in Sikkim were not without officials from the imperial diplomatic department, but their level was not high enough to negotiate on some key issues. The prosperity of industry and commerce in the City Republic of Sikkim exceeded that of any other county in the peninsula of the empire. Whether it is Moro, Sambo or Eastern Samoa, the degree of industrial and commercial development cannot be compared with Sikkim. The wooing of industrial and commercial forces requires the exchange of some practical interests. This involves many policy things. What is the intermediate scale? It takes someone with certain authority and position to make the decision.
Sikkim is a completely industrial and commercial urban republic. Although the nobles who have transformed into businessmen still occupy a very important position in the country, the commercial forces of civilian origin have also begun to rise and are playing an increasingly important role. effect, although they haven’t had it for a while
The law challenges those aristocratic businessmen who relied on the initial privileged monopoly power to accumulate strong funds, but as an important force. They are also constantly expanding their influence in peace negotiations and struggles with aristocratic merchants. And those aristocratic businessmen seemed to be aware of this, and continued to use their privileges to suppress the business forces of these civilians, and this was what the empire could take advantage of.
Qu Bo did not consider that much. After eliminating the hidden danger of riots in Sikkim, his pressure has been reduced a lot. What is even more gratifying is that the Sikkim Navy finally succumbed to the orders from the parliament and its own army. Under the pressure of the reality of controlling the entire city of Sikkim, the open-doored Sikkim Island has finally opened its doors to the Imperial Nanyang Navy. The Imperial Navy has set out from the East Samoa Port and sailed directly to Sikkim, Nan'an and Western Samoa. Controlling these three ports also marked the end of the entire southwest war.
On November 20th in the Gregorian calendar, the Imperial Nanyang Navy and the transport fleet carrying the Second Division of the Imperial First Army and the Third Marine Division landed at the Port of Sikkim and Jaffna Port respectively. At the same time, the Imperial Nanyang Navy also stationed at Dajuan Island. The naval base and Xiaozhen Island checkpoint began to take over the Sikkim Navy's patrol missions, while the Sikkim Navy, which had lost its backbone, returned to Dazhen Island and the Sikkim Port Naval Base to wait for the final decision.
At the same time, negotiations between the Western Samoa City Republic and the Imperial Diplomatic Envoy on the status of Western Samoa and its future political and economic system were also in full swing. In fact, in the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops that the Tang Dynasty was fully advancing, Western Samoa It is ridiculous for people to want to maintain their poor dignity. No weak person can get fair treatment in front of the strong. No one can. The people of Western Samoa also understand this. They just hope that through this process, they can strive for better conditions for the ruling class of Western Samoa.
Liang Chongxin did not refuse the Navy's request to demonstrate the power of the Marine Corps, but welcomed it very much. In the eyes of others, this behavior was almost like picking peaches, but it was not a big deal. The army power in his hands was not very abundant now. If you can let the Navy help you share some of the pressure, why not do it? What's more, maintaining a relatively good relationship with the Imperial Navy was also one of the reasons why Liang Chongxin agreed to let the Imperial Marine Corps control the Port of Georgia.
The Tiger Guards took control of the entire Nan'an city-state and gathered forces to advance towards Western Samoa. The order he gave to Huangfu Tiancheng was to strike directly without asking for instructions if he encountered resistance from the Western Samoa people. Although the Western Samoa people had made it clear that they were willing to surrender, But before receiving a formal answer, the two sides are still in a state of war. This is Liang Chongxin's view.
After the Fourth Army and the Eighth Army captured the Kuruk Fortress, they quickly advanced westward in an attempt to intercept the Peninsular Allied Forces that had been lingering in Sokotu. However, their attempts failed. Suleiman showed an amazing sense of smell. , long before our own army was about to take action, this dark night rose decisively issued an order to leave Soketu City. And she was ready for a protracted war in the border area of the Principality of Seychelles, but Liang Chongxin did not intend to give the other party this opportunity. There was a chance to deal with Suleiman. This time, her nose was sharp enough and her hands and feet were quick enough. , maybe there won’t be such an opportunity next time.
Liang Chongxin had not expected to be able to include the Peninsula Allied Forces in the first place. In his opinion, Suleiman's ability to dominate the southern part of the Central Continent was not in vain. As long as a little bit of news about Bai's intentions was exposed, this woman was like a frightened man. The thorns immediately curled up and hid. It was not easy for an army of more than 200,000 people to swallow them in one bite. Especially when encountering a strong opponent like Suleiman.
Now Liang Chongxin's initial goal has been achieved, which is to annex Western Samoa and Nan'an and control Sikkim. After controlling Sikkim, Western Samoa and Nan'an will no longer have to worry about anything. Taking Western Samoa will actually put the empire at the forefront. Advancing into the chest and abdomen of the Peninsula Alliance, the Peninsula Alliance will have to consider whether it can launch a combined attack from two directions, Nan'an and Western Samoa. Suleiman's two fists cannot withstand four hands. When the time comes, I'll have to see how she responds.
However, this battle also exposed many weaknesses in the army in his hands. The performance of the Tiger Guards under the Bomashan Fortress made Huangfu Tiancheng himself feel guilty. It turned out that the level of the Tanghe Empire's Imperial Guards was so mediocre. , there is a clear gap compared with brother troops. Huangfu Tiancheng would not have realized that had he not experienced this battle, the fierce war made him see that the army he was proud of actually had so many problems. The tactics were rigid and lacked changes, the ability to attack difficulties was weak, and the officers and soldiers' fighting will was weak, and they would be vulnerable to slight setbacks. Easily discouraged, if not for the massive cash top-up provided by Empire
Sufficient siege equipment has slightly made up for the weaknesses of this army. In Liang Chongxin's words, this army can completely cancel its designation and be included in the reserve force.
The Tiger Guards themselves were probably aware of this problem, and they showed the passion and courage of soldiers in the later stages of fighting. Without this, Liang Chongxin would have revoked the designation of this army even if he tried to offend Huangfu Tiancheng. Keeping such an army in the imperial army is undoubtedly unfair to other armies that have not yet obtained designations.
The Fourth Army and the Eighth Army still had some problems. Liang Chongxin believed that he viewed these two armies in a fair manner. Although the combat effectiveness of these two divisions was significantly higher than that of the Tiger Guard Army, But looking at Liang Chongxin's eyes is still not enough. Both armies show signs of laxity in discipline to varying degrees, and the soldiers have obviously not yet fully integrated into this group. This may be due to the fact that the early wars consumed too much time to recruit new recruits. It's not long, but Liang Chongxin believes that with nearly half a year of training and adaptation time, the two legions can do better at this point, especially the Eighth Legion.
Although the people of the empire have become accustomed to the great victories achieved by the empire this year, Liang Chongxin's major victory in the southwest battlefield still made the people of the imperial capital and the empire's news media go crazy. After all, this is After the empire suffered a humiliating defeat in the Southwest War, Liang Chongxin did not live up to the empire's expectations of him. His performance once again turned people's attention from Cui Wenxiu to him. For a moment, who was the real one? The number one general of the Imperial Army has become the focus of controversy in the news media.
The Oriental Times, which has a flexible publication style, even described the dispute between Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu as a dragon-tiger battle. Fans of Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu were divided into two groups to support their respective idols. Each analyzed in the newspaper that the two followed the emperor from the northwest. When His Majesty's achievements were analyzed one by one, many achievements that had been buried in history came back to people's sight. At this time, people remembered that the real strong man who used military means to dominate the continent was neither Liang Chongxin nor Liang Chongxin. , it is not Cui Wenxiu, but His Majesty the Emperor who is less than thirty years old now. However, His Majesty the Emperor’s current status is limited.
No longer can he be on the front line and let people see his peerless style.
The frequent wars since the founding of the empire have also led to a sharp increase in the sales of imperial affairs news publications. "Continental Military Observer" has firmly ranked among the top ten popular periodicals in the empire's news and publishing circles. This is a military-related journal. An honor the publication has never received before.
It cannot but be said that the empire's glorious achievements in the Indian region, Meili and the southwest region have concealed some issues that should be more concerned about. The empire adopted an aggressive posture at the beginning of the founding of the country and seized millions in one fell swoop. Although many of the foundations were laid when His Majesty the Emperor took office as Military and Political Envoy to the Northwest and King of Qin, this is the first time that the imperial power has officially set foot in these areas. Such dazzling glory still makes many people excited. I can't help myself, but this does not mean that everyone is deceived by this seemingly brilliant cloud.
