The Arab Empire claims to have an army of 1.5 million.
This is of course just a number.
According to the information given by the front line, the Arab Empire's army is not only backward in equipment, but also lacks training, lax discipline, and no actual combat experience. It is a veritable underdog.
Ouyang Shuo ordered that 500,000 people be directly laid off and retired, so as to supplement the labor shortage in the Arab region. Another 500,000 people will be transferred to the railway corps system to help the construction of the imperial railway.
The 500,000 people who were most skilled in combat were temporarily reorganized into the First Army in West Asia and the Second Army.
The whole process is expected to take one to two months.
At the same time, after the West Asian Army entered the region of the Arab Empire, the First South Asian Army and the Second Army will gradually withdraw from the territory of the Arab Empire.
The new garrison location was chosen on the border of the Caesar Dynasty.
Calculated, Daxia's garrison in West Asia, in addition to the three regular armies in the West Asia theater, also has four temporary armies, with a total strength of 1.75 million people.
This is quite an astonishing military force.
If Great Xia really wanted to attack the Caesar Dynasty at any cost, then the opponent would definitely not be able to bear it.
The situation in Europe seems to be getting more delicate.
…
The surrender of the Arab Empire to Bactria caused violent shocks in the global situation.
On a global scale, a major reshuffle on an unprecedented scale is suddenly staged.
On May 16, the day after the surrender of the Arab Empire, the war between the Germanic dynasty and the Romanov dynasty ceased immediately.
Both sides have stated that they will resolve the border dispute peacefully through negotiations.
It is obvious that the European bigwigs have realized that compared with the internal competition, the Great Xia is already a huge beast on their periphery, eyeing the European continent.
At this moment, if they still started fighting among themselves, it would probably make Daxia laugh out loud.
The ceasefire is only the beginning of the internal integration of European dynasties.
Especially the number one of the Silver Hand, that is, the joint meeting initiated by Grandpa Jack, sounded the alarm for the dynasties.
Interested parties began to test each other and compromise.
Strangely, for unknown reasons, the joint meeting did not reach any substantive cooperation framework. The two parties only expressed their concerns, and did not jointly form a global empire with the Dawson Dynasty as the core, as proposed by No. 1. , in order to resist the continued expansion of Great Xia.
Kings like Caesar are no fools.
In the European melee that took two years, the Silver Hand faction had the upper hand from the beginning to the current defeat. Of course, it was because of Daxia's intervention, and the inaction of the Dawson Dynasty cannot be ignored.
As the pillar of the Silver Hand, the Dawson Dynasty, which was isolated outside of Asia, Europe and Africa, never provided any substantial help to the European battlefield from the beginning to the end.
On the contrary, the Dawson dynasty did not hesitate to invest and worked hard to unify North America.
In Caesar's words, "The facts are already in front of us. Compared with the overall interests of the organization, for Dawson, his own interests are obviously more important."
Under such circumstances, if the Dawson Dynasty stood up again and advocated to form a global empire with the Dawson Dynasty at its core, who would respond
Nobody is a fool!
If you pay, you will be rewarded.
The Dawson Dynasty did not shoulder the corresponding responsibilities, but wanted to reap the greatest benefits, how could it be possible.
It was Manstein's proposal that moved Caesar and Pushkin.
After the joint meeting, the three remaining kings of the European continent met together and held a secret meeting in order to jointly decide the future of Europe.
The slogan shouted was exactly: "Europe, Europe for Europeans!"
It is equivalent to saying that they will unite together, kick off the discredited Dawson Dynasty, start anew, and create a brand new European continent.
This is very smart.
…
On May 20th of the tenth year of Gaia, a piece of news exploded around the world.
The Germanic, Romanov and Caesar dynasties issued a joint declaration to combine the three dynasties into a super dynasty—the Europa Empire.
Manstein, king of the Germanic dynasty, became emperor of the Europa Empire. The two former kings, Caesar and Pushkin, became the two pillars of the empire as princes.
As soon as the Europa Empire was established, it was promoted to the third dynasty in the world, dominating the European continent.
Immediately afterwards, on May 21st, the Bantu Dynasty in Africa announced that it would voluntarily submit to the Europa Empire. The former Bantu king also became the third prince of the Europa Empire.
Obviously, because it was established in a hurry and the internal interest relationship has not been completely straightened out, the operating mechanism of the Europa Empire is very similar to the collapsed Great Zhou Dynasty, a bit of the shadow of the feudal system.
This fits surprisingly well with the European historical bloodline.
In this way, the Europa Empire became a super empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa in one fell swoop, and its overall strength surpassed the Dawson Dynasty in one fell swoop, becoming the second empire in the world after the Great Xia.
Not only that, but the new Europa Empire is a brand new dynasty beyond the boundaries of the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, and it is a great fusion of members from both sides.
The traditional silver hand and azure badge are fading day by day, and will eventually disappear; replaced by a new faction map with the dynasty as the module.
The global pattern ushered in a super reshuffle, presenting a new pattern of one super and two strong.
The Great Xia Empire naturally dominates the world and is a veritable global hegemony; the Europa Empire and the Dawson Dynasty dominate Europe and North America respectively.
The Dark Night Empire is in a corner, and there is no room to expand outward.
As for the Indian Empire, under the current global situation, it is only left to survive. Whether it can survive, or how long it can survive, depends entirely on Daxia's attitude.
Globally, the only disputed territories appear to be confined to Central Africa.
The Great Xia Empire, the Europa Empire, and the Dawson Dynasty all have a large number of territories in Africa, and the Congo region in Central Africa is also the only disputed place, which can be regarded as a buffer zone for the three empires.
The future battles are likely to be even more treacherous.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was already June.
On June 3rd, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Starfleet successfully arrived in the outer space of the resource planet.
This also means that the time to part has arrived.
Ouyang Shuo didn't give a provocative farewell speech, and didn't hold any grand farewell ceremony. At noon that day, he quietly commanded the Daxia and Huaxia ships, separated from the main force, and set off for an unknown journey.
Under the watchful eyes of players from all over the world, the two warships disappeared into the vast space.
The history of mankind has opened a new page.
…
After setting sail, members of the pioneering team, including Ouyang Shuo, rarely appeared in the game world. They stayed on the starship all day, discussing and formulating specific pioneering plans.
No matter how big or small.
After the pioneering team set off, the game world seemed to become deserted, with no waves.
This is of course just an illusion.
On the road to hegemony, the struggle is endless.
In September of the tenth year of Gaia, after four months of sorting out, Great Xia's rectification of West Asia officially came to an end. The wounds of war have gradually healed.
With the influx of a large number of businessmen, the Western Asia Capital Protection Area ushered in unprecedented prosperity.
The exploration of oil and gas resources in the Persian Gulf has been included in the planning of the empire, and will surely become a new engine for the industrialization of the empire, bringing the empire to a whole new level.
After stabilizing West Asia, completely opening up the Asia-Europe-Africa channel has been put on the highest agenda of the empire. The empire will spend huge sums of money and spend two to three years to build this miraculous project of land transportation.
The six major fleets of the empire have all completed their refitting, firmly controlling the global sea dominance.
The volume of maritime trade is setting new records every day.
As Daxia currency becomes a global currency, Daxia is increasingly playing the role of the maker of global trade rules and the main engine of the global economy.
In particular, the Huaxia District is the center of the global economy.
Daxia Bank is making steady progress toward the goal of the World Bank.
The road to industrialization in coastal cities is advancing by leaps and bounds, technology is changing with each passing day, and various products are constantly pouring out. The Great Xia Empire is transforming from an agricultural empire into an industrial empire.
The Asia-Europe-Africa Railway under construction will connect the entire Asia-Europe-Africa continent and completely open up a Silk Road.
With such land and sea linkages, the distance between the mainland of the empire and overseas will become shorter and shorter.
In contrast, the Dawson Dynasty, which monopolizes North America, has neither the command of the sea in its previous life, nor overseas allies or key overseas territories. Even basic foreign trade depends on Daxia's face.
Based on this, the global influence of the Dawson Dynasty is gradually fading.
If this trend continues, one day, the Dawson Dynasty will embark on the same path as the Night Empire, gradually being isolated and drifting on the edge of the mainstream of the world.
In the future, the Asia, Europe and Africa continental plate will be the center of the world.
Under the great global prosperity, the shadow of war is always lingering.
On September 1st, almost without warning, the Great Xia Empire suddenly declared war on the Europa Empire.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.
Once there is a war between the first empire and the second empire in the world, it will be tantamount to a world war.
Ordinary people are overwhelmed and worried.
The Great Xia Army is indeed in action.
In North Asia, the Great Xia Fengxiang Army and the Northern Xinjiang Army, under the command of Li Mu, the commander of the theater, brazenly crossed the northern border and rushed into Siberia.
The Middle East, the first and second armies of South Asia, the first and second armies of West Asia, and even the Flying Bear Army belonging to the West Asia theater are all moving towards the European border.
Depending on the situation, a big storm is hitting the newly established Europa Empire.
Not only that, on the African continent, the North African Army under the African theater frequently put pressure on the West African region of the Europa Empire, posing an offensive posture.
In Europe, the Western European Army and the Northern European Army, which belong to the Gangduo Jiedu Mansion, are also actively preparing for battle.
At sea, the Mediterranean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet stepped up patrols on key shipping routes, intending to block the sea outlets of the entire Europa Empire.
The situation of war is imminent.
This made the nascent Europa Empire nervous.
After four months of running-in, although the Europa Empire has passed the most dangerous running-in period, its internal affairs are still not completely straightened out.
After all, it is the fusion of the two camps, which is easier said than done.
Especially for the Germanic people in the central area, the Spaniards, Gauls, Caesars, and the Romanovs are all their enemies, bearing bloody feuds.
You know, the two-year war has directly reduced the Germanic people by 20%.
Facing the full-scale attack of Great Xia, the Europa Empire really did not have enough confidence to dare to go to war, dragging the entire empire into the quagmire of war.
As for the Dawson Dynasty, they can't wait to watch the show on the sidelines.
The establishment of the Europa Empire was tantamount to completely excluding the Dawson Dynasty from the European system, which made Jack very hurt, even more angry than being overwhelmed by Daxia.
At this time, it would be good if Jack didn't step on it, and there would be no way to lend a helping hand.
Once the two empires start a full-scale war, it will not be resolved in a day or two. It may take a year or two as short as it is, and it may last for several years.
This is an excellent opportunity for the Dawson Dynasty to rise again.
Jack also couldn't understand why Daxia was so hot-headed, and at this time, he suddenly launched a war against the Europa Empire, "You are still young and impulsive."
Not only did Jack underestimate the Prince Regent of Daxia.
There are rumors that the reason why Daxia declared war on the Europa Empire at this time was the regent's idea. The purpose was to truly establish the authority of Daxia through an epic battle.
…
On September 5th, the Europa Empire, a little panicked, sent an envoy led by Prince Caesar to the capital to try to mediate the war dispute between the two sides.
They were also worried that the regent of Great Xia was young and vigorous, and he really did not hesitate to launch an all-out war.
Therefore, the Europa Empire hopes to use negotiations to eliminate wars.
At the beginning, Daxia's attitude was very tough, and he put on a posture of never negotiating and only seeing the truth on the battlefield, which shocked Caesar and others, and they were restless in the Sifang Pavilion of the Beijing Normal University.
In order to ease the conflict, Caesar thought of one person, that is, the former president of the Federation, and the current great scholar Chen Lao, who is in charge of the senior minister of the Great Xia Empire, asked him to mediate on his behalf.
Mr. Chen is the core advisor of the Prince Regent, so he can still speak.
Chen Lao, who missed his old love, couldn't save face, and acted as a lobbyist again, finally persuaded the regent of Daxia, and reluctantly agreed to start the negotiation between the two sides.
Even so, Daxia's side was aggressive.
On behalf of the imperial court, Zhang Yi, Minister of the Great Xia Honglu Temple, put forward two conditions for the envoys of the Europa Empire to strike off—cede Siberia and West Africa.
When Caesar heard this, his brows were tightly furrowed, and Daxia really opened his mouth like a lion.
In terms of territorial area alone, the two regions that Great Xia requested to cede occupy more than half of the territory of the Europa Empire. Siberia alone is larger than the entire continent of Europe.
Of course, the Siberia region is vast and sparsely populated, and its strategic value is far greater than its actual value.
One point that cannot be ignored is that the oil and gas resources in Siberia are the core engine supporting the industrialization of the Europa Empire, and it is also the most difficult point for the Europa Empire to give up.
As for West Africa, it is an important support node for the Europa Empire in Africa.
Once West Africa is ceded, the influence of the Europa Empire in Africa is bound to drop sharply, forming a situation in which the Daxia family dominates. In the future, even South Africa may not be able to keep it.
In other words, no matter which area, there is no reason for the Europa Empire to cede it.
Caesar, unable to be the master, could only ask the empire for instructions.
In the following week, the delegations of the two sides began arduous negotiations. On the other hand, the Great Xia Army did not stop attacking and was aggressive on the battlefield.
In North Asia, the Fengxiang Army advanced all the way to the Ural Mountains.
The Ural Mountains are the dividing line between Asia and Europe, between the Eastern European Plain and the Siberian Plain. The Fengxiang Army's intention to advance into the Ural Mountains and cut off the Siberia region is already very obvious.
On the contrary, due to the previous European war, during the Romanov dynasty, in order to attack the German dynasty, the Romanov army concentrated on the Eastern European plains, and the garrison in Siberia was almost zero.
Sporadic garrisons, still after the map was reset to zero.
Prior to this, in Siberia, which was ten times the size, not to mention the garrison, communication was a big problem.
This gave the Great Xia Army a chance.
The aggressiveness of the Great Xia Army caused the Europa Empire to fall into greater passiveness.
On September 15th, the Great Xia South Asia First Group Army and the Second Group Army followed and advanced into the former Caesar Dynasty area of the Europa Empire, directly attacking the hinterland of the Europa Empire.
The First Army in West Asia and the Second Army are also gearing up on the border.
Depending on the situation, Daxia will not give up if he fails to achieve his goal.
For a time, the Europa Empire fell into an unprecedented crisis.
At a critical juncture, after making a comprehensive assessment of the war, the Europa Empire finally made a compromise and was willing to cede the Siberia region in exchange for lasting peace.
Manstein also has piercing eyes, knowing that the real purpose of Daxia is to win the Siberia region and truly realize the unification of Asia.
As for the West African region, it is just an accessory added by Daxia to increase the bargaining chip.
If you really want to be interested in West Africa, as early as last year, Daxia can take advantage of the chaos in Europe and send troops to take it on your own. How can you wait until now.
Sure enough, Great Xia agreed to the terms of the Europa Empire.
On October 1, the two parties formally signed the "Ural Treaty." The Europa Empire agreed to cede the entire Siberia region in exchange for a promise not to use force against the Europa Empire within five years of Daxia.
The moment the treaty takes effect, it means that Asia, Europe and Africa will usher in a long period of peace.
In the next five years, economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchanges will replace war and become the mainstream of Asia, Europe and Africa, and even the entire game world.
The peace that people all over the world have longed for has finally come.
As long as Great Xia and the Europa Empire can maintain their concentration and do not take the initiative to set off a war, it is impossible for the Dawson Dynasty, the Dark Night Empire, and the Indian Empire to have any thoughts.
Jack, who got the news, was very disappointed.
Only then did he realize that he had really underestimated the Prince Regent of Da Xia.
From the beginning to the end, Daxia's performance was for the purpose of taking down Siberia and dominating Asia, and there was no intention of starting an all-out war at all, which made Jack happy in vain.
The compromise and interaction between the Europa Empire and the Great Xia blatantly shows that the global dominance is firmly held in the hands of the two empires.
The marginalization trend of the Dawson Dynasty is becoming clearer day by day.
Jack was just lost, but someone was afraid from the bottom of his heart. That person was Keisuke Honda, the king of the Dark Night Empire. He sent an envoy to Daxia the day after he learned that the "Ural Treaty" was signed.
Keisuke Honda stated that the Dark Night Empire is willing to continue its friendship with Great Xia, and at the same time, obediently offer the Hawaiian Islands it had previously taken to show its sincerity.
In this way, Hawaii County returned to the embrace of Daxia in such a dramatic way.
…
On October 5th, the Great Xia Regent issued a series of decrees to make arrangements for the Siberia region.
The imperial decree established the entire Siberia region as the North Asia Protectorate, which consisted of West Siberia Province, Central Siberia Province and East Siberia Province.
The Northern Xinjiang Protectorate, Beiyuan Province and Liaojin Province were revoked and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
The relevant personnel of the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate were transferred to the Northern Asia Protectorate as a whole. Xiongba, the former governor of Northern Xinjiang, continued to serve as the governor of North Asia; Shi Weiliao, the former head of the governor of Northern Xinjiang, also continued to serve as the head of the governor of North Asia.
The North Asia Theater was naturally transferred to the North Asia Protectorate.
At the same time, the Privy Council has also drawn up a disarmament plan, and plans to gradually eliminate or transfer to the two major armies of South Asia and the two major armies of West Asia in the next two years, according to the development of the situation.
Of course, disarmament belongs to disarmament, and Great Xia will never let up on the management of the reserve force.
With the military foundation of Great Xia, if a world war were to break out, more than five million reserve troops with combat experience could be recruited in a short period of time.
This is also one of the foundations for maintaining Daxia's rule.
With the rapid advancement of industrialization, the upgrading of weapons and equipment is also changing with each passing day. The birth of new weapons means that the form of warfare is gradually changing.
The number of troops will no longer be the main factor in determining military strength.
This is of course a later story.
…
The significance of taking Siberia to Bactria is not only to unify Asia geographically, but also to gain a vast overseas territory.
The greater significance lies in obtaining another oil and gas resource.
So far, more than 70% of the oil and gas resources in the world are in the hands of Daxia, giving Daxia the right to set oil and gas prices.
It also adds another important bargaining chip to the globalization of Da Xia Coin.
With the advancement of the wave of globalization, in the future, Daxia currency will gradually delink from gold and instead be linked to oil, which is known as black gold.
At this point, Daxia has completed the strategic deployment ahead of schedule.
In addition, the establishment of the North Asia Protectorate is tantamount to eliminating another hidden danger on the border of Daxia. There are natural dangers such as the Ural Mountains in the north, so you can basically sit back and relax.
Another point is that after taking the Siberia region, the Great Xia Navy can take advantage of the trend to control the Bering Strait, and then enter the Arctic Ocean, further strengthening its sea control.
In the future, Daxia plans to build an Arctic Ocean fleet to strengthen the control of the Arctic Ocean.
Through the Arctic Ocean, Daxia can also form an interconnection with the Gangduo Jiedu Mansion, and form a huge encirclement circle for the Europa Empire from a large geographical perspective.
The strategic significance is extraordinary.
If you think a little further, after controlling the Siberia region, it provides a possibility for Daxia to attack North America by land, such as the Alaska region.
In this way, with the cooperation of the American Protectorate, Daxia can carry out a north-south attack on the Dawson Dynasty.
All in all, although the current land development value in Siberia is not great, it complements the weakest link in Daxia's global strategy and makes Daxia's global territory form a perfect closure.
It also made Daxia's global dominance unbreakable.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the Great Xia has to tear the Siberia region from the hands of the Europa Empire even if it does not hesitate to launch an all-out war.
This strategic arrangement was finalized as early as Gaia's military and political conference at the end of the ninth year.
Bing'er, the regent, implemented this strategy very well, which made Ouyang Shuo, who had been paying attention to this matter all the time, very pleased, and felt that the cultivation of Bing'er in the past few years was not in vain.
After several years of cultivation, it finally bears fruit.
…
On December 30th of the tenth year of Gaia, the universe, the Great Xia Ship.
Trestle.
Ouyang Shuo sat on the captain's seat, and on the curved transparent screen in front of him, he had a clear view of the starry sky outside.
In the middle of the barrier, a huge green planet came into view.
That is Hope Star, a super planet with a forest coverage rate of more than 65%.
After half a year of voyage, the pioneering team finally arrived in the outer space of Hope Star, and is about to start a new journey of pioneering. Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo couldn't hide his excitement.
The once hidden blood and enthusiasm for adventure boiled again.
Looking at this charming planet, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but feel a desire to conquer from the bottom of his heart, and the once lofty ambition was ignited again.
The dazzling light spots in the starry sky brought back memories deep in Ouyang Shuo's heart.
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo thought of a lot.
There are the ups and downs of the adventure life in the previous life, the anger when he was betrayed by his elder brother, the shock and excitement when he was reborn, and the fear and confusion when he established a mountain and sea village.
There are also those magnificent years of fighting for hegemony, the bloody battles, the careful calculations and plans, leading the Great Xia from one peak to another.
Suddenly, it all went away.
Like dust, it was gently brushed away by Ouyang Shuo from the bottom of his heart, and the past cannot be recalled.
"A hero doesn't mention his bravery!"
Looking at the dazzling and colorful Hope Star, Ouyang Shuo only hoped that this was a brand new beginning.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo stood up, turned around resolutely, and looked at a group of civil and military ministers standing behind him, Jiang Shang, Zhang Liang, Wei Yang, Fan Li, Jia Xu, Black Snake, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Ran Min, E Lai , Xue Rengui, Chang Yuchun and others are listed one by one.
In the game world, they worked hard together with Ouyang Shuo and made untold feats.
Great Xia has also stood on top of the world.
Now, they abandoned everything in the game world, started from scratch, and followed Ouyang Shuo again, preparing to embark on a more dangerous and magnificent epic journey.
The monarch and his ministers have long been connected by heart and blood.
The ambition and pride in Ouyang Shuo's heart climbed to the peak, and his whole body's energy and spirit changed sharply. His eyes swept over a group of ministers, and he said in a deep voice, "Yours, are you willing to follow me and fight the world again?"
Seeing this, Jiang Shang and others knelt down on one knee, with firm eyes, and swore in unison.
"Follow His Majesty to the death!"
