On February 3, 603 in the Holy Light Calendar, it was in the large conference room of the Lanhu City Military Region Headquarters in Amphiston State, an overseas autonomous territory.
"As Marshal Claude expected, at the end of last year the Pamigar people in the colony of the Morosik Kingdom launched a fierce attack, sweeping through most of the colony, and most of the towns in the interior and central part have fallen to the Pamigars. At the hands of the Gal National Liberation Front. The colonial garrison of the Kingdom of Morosik gathered its remaining forces to guard the four seaport towns along the coast, setting up defensive positions and preparing to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Kingdom.
According to the report of Colonel Bockal, the Pamigal people are currently gathering troops, preparing to form an army of 200,000 people, and attack four seaport towns along the coast in one go, and completely drive the colonists of the Morosik Kingdom out of Nubi. The west coast of the West Asian continent. For this reason, they boldly claimed that they would regain the four seaport towns before the rainy season, and after the rainy season, they could establish an independent Pamigal country... "
General Fodeles, director of the Military Intelligence Department, introduced the latest situation of the armed uprising of the Pamigal people in the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik, and also submitted the new demands of the Pamigal National Liberation Front for the Dominion Military District. President Tezzinger Nora Taghanem, the leader of the Pamigar people, hopes that the Dominion Military Region will once again provide 100,000 new matchlock guns and corresponding ammunition and other military supplies as soon as possible, so as not to delay their liberation of the entire colony. plan of.
"How many new matchlocks have we provided them with?" Claude asked.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, so far, we have provided the Pamigal people with 146,800 new matchlock guns and their corresponding ammunition and other military supplies. They have been delivered to them in four installments. The total value is close to one million. Gold crowns," answered General Fodeles.
"Have Colonel Bockal and the officers we sent to train them been left out in the cold and only responsible for asking us for various support supplies?" Claude asked again.
General Fodeles smiled awkwardly and said: "That's not true. Although President Tezzinger Nora Taghanem did not obey Colonel Bokhar and the others as he did at first, he still attaches great importance to the friendship with our Dominion. . Colonel Bockal and the others were still entertained there and were not left out in the cold. Even though they did not participate in the upcoming attack by the Pamigals, they were still conducting military operations in the rear against the latest division formed by the Pamigals. train.
This newly formed division was formed by President Tezzinger Nora Taghanem who mobilized the young and strong Pamigar people who were loyal to him and prepared to serve as his garrison. It is also used as a reserve force for the Pamigal National Liberation Front, and there is no plan to invest this garrison division in this offensive campaign against the four seaport towns along the coast. He asked our training officers to conduct a complete six-month intensive training for this garrison division..."
"It seems that President Tezzinger Nora Taghanem is quite clear-headed and has not been blinded by the victory before him. I think we did not choose the wrong candidate this time. Those who can still form a loyal guard for themselves at this time will not become a meteor so quickly. Agree to his request and deliver a batch of new matchlock guns and ammunition to them." Claude said, thought for a moment and then asked:
"By the way, General Fodeles, what is the response of the local authorities of the neighboring Kingdom of Resnia Colony and Vasiliko Principality Colony to this armed uprising of the Pamigal people?"
General Fodeles replied respectfully: "Your Majesty Marshal, as you said last time, the colonies of the Kingdom of Resnia and the Colony of the Principality of Vasilko have only mobilized troops to strengthen the security of the border with the Kingdom of Morosik. , to strictly prevent the Pamigal people from entering its territory. At the same time, it sent envoys to contact the colonial authorities of the Kingdom of Morosik and the Pamigal National Liberation Front, hoping that the two sides could engage in peace talks to resolve the war.
What’s interesting is that the envoys who went to the coastal port of Filimz to communicate with the colonial authorities of the Kingdom of Morosik ridiculed the incompetence of the colonial garrison of the Kingdom of Morosik after expressing condolences, and said that if they paid for it, they could send colonial troops to help. The counter-rebellion was, as expected, rejected by the local authorities in the colony of the Morosik Kingdom.
The envoys from the two colonies who went to the Pamigarh National Liberation Front to meet with President Tezsingh Nora Taghanem reiterated their neutrality and expressed their concern over the expansion of the war and the tragic suffering of innocent people involved in the war. I feel deep sorrow and hope that the war will end soon. At the same time, he said that he could come forward to hold talks between the Pamigal National Liberation Front and the local authorities of the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik to reach an armistice and peace agreement at an early date.
President Tezzinger Nora Taghanem also refused to hold talks with the local authorities of the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik. He said that the Pamigar people must establish an independent country and the future destiny of an independent nation. The envoys who were rejected expressed that they could support part of the weapons and ammunition to the Pamigar National Liberation Front. The nearly 50,000 Pamigar people currently gathering were equipped with the old matchlock guns supported by the two colonies. "
Claude laughed: "The Resnian Kingdom Colony and the Vasiliko Principality Colony have made it clear that they will watch from the sidelines and wait until the overall situation is decided before taking advantage. They are eager for the Morosik Kingdom Colony to fight with the Pamigal people. They are fighting to the death, and both sides suffer. The larger the scale of this war and the more casualties, the happier they are. No matter which side wins, they will have to compromise with them in the end, and even have to cut their meat to feed them two hungry wolves... "
General Netas, the head of the staff department, asked: "Your Majesty Marshal, do you mean to say that the colonies of the Kingdom of Resnia and the Colony of the Principality of Vasilko will join this war in the end no matter what the outcome is?"
"It is not to join this war, but to start another war." Claude nodded and replied: "There is a very delicate balance between the eight colonial countries on the southern coast of Farea continent, and their strengths are actually about the same. Historical records show that five or six hundred years ago, there were more than two hundred city-states along the southern coast of the mainland. After nearly three hundred years of melee, the current seven coastal countries were finally formed. Of course, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands is not a coastal country. It is an archipelago. nation.
Since the area and national strength of these eight countries are almost the same, no one can annex other countries to expand their strength. Sometimes two or three countries jointly attack a country. When the country is about to be destroyed, the countries that are watching come to help. No one can benefit from the fighting. This situation has remained like this until now. Although they have been fighting among themselves for the past two or three hundred years, if a foreign enemy attacks them, these eight countries will form an alliance and unanimously fight against the outside world. Without the foreign enemies, they will start fighting among themselves again.
Precisely because these eight countries were constrained by each other on the Falea continent and unable to expand externally, they could only vigorously develop maritime commerce and started a colonial policy on the west coast of the Nubisia continent very early. If you have looked up the colonial history of the West Coast, you will find that the first ones to arrive on the West Coast to enclose land and build towns and harbor fortresses were not the eight southern countries, but the Principality of Leotoma on the northern coast of the Farea continent.
The eight southern countries were just latecomers. After occupying a colony on the west coast, they united with each other and eventually annexed all the colonies occupied by the countries on the northern coast of Farea. Over the past two hundred years, they have to admit that they have good luck. For example, the Principality of Leotoma was invaded and destroyed by the Kingdom of Hicks, so the Kingdom of Resnian and the Kingdom of Carmanlane took the opportunity to declare war on it and jointly carve it up. its colonies.
Nowadays, the land on the west coast is occupied by the eight southern countries. There have been many colonial border conflicts in the past hundred years, but the result is the same as their own kingdoms, each other is restrained, and no one can do anything about the other. Now the Pamigal people in the colony of the Morosik Kingdom have launched an uprising, sweeping most of the colony. For the colonies of the two adjacent kingdoms, this is the best opportunity to seize the colony.
There are only two standing legions in the Kingdom of Morosik. Although the colonial garrison is organized into one legion, the troops are dispersed and stationed in various towns. In the southern part of Farea Continent, the Kingdom of Morosik and the Principality of Vasilko are also neighbors and have had several wars. The Principality of Vasilko was the invaded party, and the two countries can be regarded as mortal enemies. Although the Kingdom of Resnia is not adjacent to the Kingdom of Morosik in the southern part of Farea Continent, there have been several border conflicts due to colonies.
Therefore, the Pamigal rebellion in the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik is the biggest good news for the colony of the Kingdom of Resnia and the colony of the Principality of Vasilko. They are willing to provide military support to the Pamigal National Liberation Front because they hope that the Pamigal people can consume more of the military strength of the Morosik Kingdom. At present, they still retain an alliance because they jointly promulgated the ban on trade against our overseas autonomous territories and will not join this war.
Now that the colonial garrison of the Morosik Kingdom is powerless and can only defend the four seaport towns along the coast, if the Morosik Kingdom wants to put down this armed uprising of the Pamigal people, there are only two ways. One is to dispatch troops from the Farea Continent Kingdom, and the other is to request the colonial garrisons of the neighboring two countries to send troops to help them quell the chaos.
The first method requires that the remaining colonial garrison can withstand the upcoming attack of the Pamigal people. However, there are only two standing legions in the Morosik Kingdom. At least one standing legion must be dispatched this time to save the colonial situation. This requires the Morosik Kingdom to mobilize ocean-going transport fleets and warships to escort the reinforcements to the west coast, which takes a certain amount of time. It also requires colonial garrison to guard a seaport town so that reinforcements can land.
The second method requires the colonies of two neighboring countries to send troops to help. Although this method is quick and convenient, it requires a high price. The colonial territory may even be occupied by the garrisons of the two neighboring countries after the war. Willing to withdraw, leaving more trouble behind. Therefore, the Morosik Kingdom would not ask these two countries to send troops to help unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even though the armed uprising of the Pamigal people now occupies such a large area, the situation is still uncertain for the colonies of the Kingdom of Resnia and the Principality of Vasilko. They need the Morosik Kingdom to respond before they can decide their next step. For example, if the Morosik Kingdom dispatches reinforcements from the mainland to quell the rebellion, then what these two countries have to do is to try their best to support the Pamigal people and let them fight with the Morosik Kingdom's army until both sides lose.
If the counter-rebellion army sent by the Kingdom of Morosik is severely weakened in the end, then the colonies of the Kingdom of Resnia and the Colony of the Principality of Vasilko will naturally not miss this opportunity. They can find any excuse to send troops to attack. The Pamigal people, by the way, seized the colonial territory of the Morosik Kingdom. As for the Morosik Kingdom, which was fighting with the Pamigal people, it would lose both sides, so it would have no confidence to fall out with these two countries. In the end, it could only cede some colonial territories...
For the colonies of the Kingdom of Resnia and the Colony of the Principality of Vasilko, the best outcome is that the Pamigal people defeated the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Morosik and drove the Kingdom of Morosik out of the west coast of the Nubisia continent. Then declared independence and established a country. In that case, the two countries can send troops to annex this colony openly without worrying about the reaction of the Morosik Kingdom, because the Morosik Kingdom has already lost this territory... "
After Claude made such a detailed analysis, the senior officers present here naturally understood that although the Pamigal people were now aggressive and powerful, they still had to overcome at least three difficulties. The first step is to defeat the reinforcements sent from the mainland by the Morosik Kingdom. The second difficulty was to regain the entire colony, including the four seaport towns along the coast. The third difficulty is that after establishing an independent country, it still has to face the invasion war launched by two neighboring colonies.
Only by overcoming these three difficulties one by one can the Pamigal people truly gain national liberation and independence. Only then will they establish a Pamigal nation that will stand firm, set an example for the people of all ethnic groups in other colonies on the West Coast, and set off a wave of national independence in the entire West Coast colonies...
General Netas, the head of the staff department, looked at General Fodeles, the head of the military intelligence department: "What is the reaction of the colonies of other countries on the west coast? I remember that the Kingdom of Resnia has a total of two colonies on the west coast, and now it is with the Kingdom of Molosik. Adjacent to the colony is the colony of Rodex Bay near the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands, not too far from our Rocky Mountain state.”
General Fodeles replied: "The other colony of the Kingdom of Resnia on the west coast is a bit far away from here. After learning that the Pamigal rebellion broke out in the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik, we only transferred it from another colony. The troops of two garrison regiments were transported by ship to strengthen the security of the border between the two colonies.
The colonies of other countries were watching the excitement. Some colonial newspapers claimed that the Morosik Kingdom treated the colonial people too cruelly, which ultimately led to the Pamigal rebellion. Some other newspapers believed that the rioting Pamigal people must be dealt with severely because they put forward the slogan of national liberation and independent nation building. This unhealthy trend must be suppressed, otherwise if they succeed, the entire west coast colony will be destroyed. Will fall into war..."
General Netas said: "I am very worried that once the Pamigal people truly establish an independent country, they will be besieged by the coalition forces of the remaining colonial countries on the west coast. This situation will not never happen. If the Pamigal country is If it perishes, it means the failure of the entire wildfire plan, and so much money invested by our autonomous military region will be completely in vain..."
"This is indeed worthy of our vigilance." Claude agreed: "The original plan was for the Pamigal people to stage an armed uprising. Our spies were already in contact with the leaders of various ethnic groups and the candidates we selected in the colonies on the west coast. Gathering strength to respond, the colonies of various countries focus on one thing and lose another.
But now the Pamigal people carried out an armed uprising two and a half months in advance, and all the colonies on the west coast have stepped up border alerts. Agents from various nationalities like us can no longer travel freely to the colonies of various countries, and subsequent plans cannot be carried out one by one. This is indeed a big mistake. For our Dominion Military Region, all we can do now is try our best to support the Pamigal people to establish a country. At worst, we will participate in this war... "
Claude had already made a decision in his heart. If the Pamigal people were to be besieged by coalition forces sent by other colonial countries on the west coast after establishing their independent country, the Dominion Military Region would be able to go into battle naked. Since there is already the Hicks Volunteer Division, it is not surprising that there will be several Dominion Volunteer Divisions. The reason is that in the name of supporting the Pamigal people to gain independence and freedom, they can also cover themselves with a layer of righteous partners.
On February 11, 603 in the Holy Light Calendar, the nearly 200,000 troops of the Pamigal National Liberation Front launched a fierce attack on four seaport towns along the colonial coast of the Morosik Kingdom. After eighteen days of fierce fighting, countless young Pamigal people lay dead on the snow. The four seaport towns were crumbling, but they were still in the hands of the colonial garrison of the Kingdom of Morosik.
Before the heavy rains of the first rainy season in March fell, the President of the Pamigarh National Liberation Front, Tezzinger Nora Taganem, who suffered heavy casualties and lost 780,000 or 80,000 troops, reluctantly issued an order to retreat. , retreated hundreds of miles to build a defensive front along the Milan Keda River...
On March 28, two legions from the Kingdom of Morosik landed at Port Filimz. After half a month of rest, the expeditionary force composed of these two legions from the Kingdom of Morosik began a counterattack. They divided their troops into two groups and penetrated directly into the defense line built by the Pamigal people in Milan Kedajiang. They fought fiercely for a day and night. The kingdom's expeditionary force was massacred on the banks of the Mirankeda River...
