Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1165

[Chapter 1152 Change of Situation]

“Close the city gate!”

Maxim shouted loudly, with fear coming from his heart. The scene in front of him exceeded his understanding of war.

“We must be fighting the gods’ army again.” Oleg’s lips trembled, he was frightened.

But their fear has only just begun.

The moment the gate closed, the steel monster in front of Yelets suddenly let out a “booming” sound of artillery fire. Then the gate of Yelets shattered, and the city wall that was hit collapsed, leaving a big hole.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The bombardment continued, and one hundred and eighty tanks concentrated on bombing the city wall of Yelets indiscriminately. In just a short time, the wall in front of Yelets collapsed.

“Forward!”

Qi Guangyi waved his hand in the tank, and the soldiers on the military vehicle immediately jumped off. They followed the tank and moved towards Yelets to attack.

Maxim was completely blindsided. He now had no idea how to fight against the empire’s attack. Shaking off the dust from his body, he could only order the soldiers to fight back in embarrassment.

But like him, his soldiers also didn’t know how to effectively deal with the empire’s strange tactics. They could only rush towards the tanks again and again, and kept falling in front of the tanks.

Occasionally, if some fish slip through the net, the rifle behind the tank will take care of it.

In the King Bear tank, the machine gun’s bullet reserve is more than 2,400 rounds. One hundred and eighty tanks are like one hundred and eighty moving machine guns.

As for the tank’s artillery, it was designed to bombard the solid defense points of the Tsarist Russian army. With the cooperation of the two, Yelets’ Tsarist Russian soldiers had no place to hide.

Maxim’s confidence was shattered by a large number of casualties within a period of time. He understood that if the fighting continued, not a single soldier in Yelets City would survive.

After careful hesitation, he decisively ordered the soldiers to withdraw from Yelets. He must personally tell Empress Catherine what he saw on the southern front of Tsarist Russia.

If they cannot come up with a corresponding solution, Tsarist Russia’s future fate will be very tragic.

The retreat of the Tsarist Russian soldiers was quickly discovered by Qi Guangyi. After ordering the occupation of Yelets, he stopped the pursuit.

The purpose of the empire this time was to force Tsarist Russia to return to its defense and relieve the crisis in France. Because of this, he naturally needed these defeated soldiers to report back.

Moreover, the capture of Yelets was not the end of his mission. There were five such fortresses on the border of Tsarist Russia, and he had to take them one by one and transform them into defensive fortresses of the empire.

…

Bellegardi.

Henry ruthlessly tore up the joint ultimatum between Prussia, Austria and Tsarist Russia. In this ultimatum, the three countries demanded that Henry immediately surrender to Andre, the legal ruler of France, otherwise the armies of the three countries would enter France to intervene in the French Civil War.

“Who are they? How dare they order me like this!” Henry yelled and cursed to vent his inner anger.

After more than two years of war, he took control of southern France and this year officially attacked Paris, the heart of France.

The Bellegarde where he is now is only more than a hundred miles away from Paris. As long as he enters Paris, he has won the war, but now the intervention of the three countries has made his future uncertain.

That’s why he’s so angry.

“General, although we have material support from the empire, it is impossible to defeat three countries, and the empire is thousands of miles away. Even if they send troops, the war may be over in a few months. What’s more, if a large-scale troop movement arrives, The consumption in Europe is huge, and it is impossible for them to send troops. “

The speaker was Henry’s most trusted colonel, Duman, and the sudden change in the situation has made everyone worried.

Henry said: “Are we going to let France surrender to them? Are you just ready to watch France be destroyed?”

Shaking his head, Henry said: “No, we can’t do that. This is our France and no one is allowed to interfere with us.” Ideal.”

Duman said: “Of course, no one wants to see this, but how should we face it now?”

Henry said: “The empire will not sit idly by. They have invested so much in France, how could they do it? Seeing us fail, I think they must be thinking of a way. In this way, we can negotiate with them first and wait for the news from the empire. “

This is the only way. If the empire gives up on us, maybe a coalition government can be considered.” After all, we can’t bet the lives of 300,000 soldiers,” Duman said worriedly.

Henry nodded. He was not a fool and would not fight a hopeless war.

……

London.

For the British people living here, the days of blockade seemed very long, because only half a year after the maritime trade was cut off, London experienced shortages of supplies.

Frightened Londoners rushed to buy supplies and stockpile them at home, causing prices to rise on the market.

This has caused more British people to join the panic buying process. After all, no one wants to starve to death.

Faced with this out-of-control situation, Murphy immediately ordered a ban on food trading in the market, and instead took over all supplies and distributed them to London citizens according to quotas.

Life has gradually become embarrassing, which naturally arouses dissatisfaction among many people, especially people in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

These areas have a history of being brutally oppressed by Britain. They joined Great Britain just because Britain became strong and wealthy, and they took the opportunity to enjoy the wealth together.

But the current situation in Britain has obviously aroused their dissatisfaction. Many people believe that the English caused this disaster.

They were even more dissatisfied when Murphy ordered the control of supplies and planned distribution. England has a large population, a high degree of industrialization, and naturally produces less food. This will lead to shortages of supplies in a short period of time.

Relatively speaking, Scotland has abundant food, and the blockade will not have any impact for one or two years, but now Murphy’s order suddenly puts them on the same level as the English.

Because of this, the number of people calling for Scottish independence increased rapidly during the six months of the blockade. In their view, once they left the United States, they would be able to independently negotiate with the Eastern Empire, lift the blockade, and even reach trade cooperation with the Empire from then on, allowing Scotland to surpass England.

This trend of thought continues to increase as the propaganda market of Scottish independent MPs continues to grow, and the call for independence is getting louder and louder.

In addition to Scotland, the same situation is also seen in Northern Ireland and Wales.

At this time, Hu Chuan and Kang Ming, who had returned to the empire from Britain, returned on an imperial warship.

Looking at the undulating fields on the coast of Scotland, he smiled and said, “No matter how much trouble there is, Britain can’t escape the clutches of the empire in the end.”

Kang Ming heard this and said with a smile: “No, this time we will come back and add another one.” Fire it up.”
