Chapter 752 Chapter 17.25 (Part 2) Pressure from Van, Anglo’s calculations

At this time, Anglo’s current situation is neither good nor bad. After suppressing the internal uprising, the external battlefield situation is not good. In the past two years, a very powerful general, Poma, has risen in the Van Council.

Just after Anglo wiped out the rebels, Poma finally received the mission and returned to Van. (This is obviously the arrangement of the gods, in order to let the Anglos wipe out Wei Keng with all their strength)

In 3240, the Van Council, mobilized the Southern Corps, joined the battlefield.

On April 7, 24 heavy units launched an attack on the southern city of Anglo, Somme. As the commander of this battle, Poma used a test bombardment, detected the opponent's firepower counterattack position, suppressed it, and then used a light mechanized, five-ton spherical tank (refer to the Soviet experimental) to cut into the position and charge.

After this kind of rapid and strong attack on the position, it is to occupy the position during the gap between the enemy's artillery preparations, and seize the opportunity for the subsequent heavy armored forces.

Four hours later, the heavy artillery driven by Poma used the energy-enhanced tungsten steel bullet (skill) to penetrate six Anglo units, successfully cut off the Anglo heavy corps, and won this heavy armored war.

At this time on the battlefield, since large bombers could not be developed, the mobility of airships in the air was far from forming an absolute advantage over ground mobile anti-aircraft firepower, so the status of heavy armored firepower was the same as that of the air force in the 21st century on Earth. In the 21st century, the air superiority of the air force was suppressed, and other operations were out of the question, and the same is true here.

When the heavy armored forces were contained, the fourteen divisions of troops that relied on armor lost their firepower cover and were annihilated one by one.

Poma looked at the fallen Somme. The spire-style cathedral in the center of the surface city had now been cut off by one-third of the top. The airship flew over at a low altitude, and the chassis gun muzzle brushed the top of the charred building.

Poma: "Here is a sharp knife inserted into Anglo-Saxon."

…On the map, the huge interlaced arrows are the great achievements of the generals, but they are the meat grinders where the soldiers died…

In the Battle of Somme in 3240, Anglo-Saxon showed signs of decline. It seems that the outcome of the war is about to be decided.

In a large-scale regional war like this, when one region wins, the winner will have enough troops to concentrate in other war zones, which will form a snowball-like advantage. Unless Anglo-Saxon finds new forces to fill this hole.

Anglo-Saxon is using its diplomatic power to the fullest extent, trying to drag more countries into the war. In the Anglo-Saxon newspapers, the former Thunder and Flash Alliance began to show signs of revival again.

But the Kingdom of Osima politely rejected Anglo-Saxon's solicitation. In the past few years, the Kingdom of Osima has been the protrusion opened by Iron Star in the northeast, and has been bleeding in the "oral ulcer" mode. And the rebel forces of the Southern Iron Star model have begun to increasingly replace the local warlord forces of Osima.

Over hundreds of years, the sense of dependence generated by the layers of defense lines cannot be offset by breaking.

When Iron Star gathered two teams (24 vehicles) of Land Cruiser mechanical regiments in the north, the old forces of Oshima had to maintain more than twice (60 vehicles) of heavy mechanical regiments for siege.

But now that the large number of concrete bunkers between Oshima and Iron Star have lost their function, Iron Star has withdrawn its front line, contracted its strongholds, and concentrated its troops on several nodes.

But Oshima can't do that. Oshima is blocking the possible offensive capabilities of Iron Star in the north in the direction of Kaidi City. The troops under the static defense system composed of reinforced concrete bunkers cannot be disbanded.

This is just like once biology begins to evolve towards the direction of armor, this armor cannot be removed.

...If you want to wait for the "armor-breaking" power to exist, then you have to let some "new shoots" grow up quickly...

After Anglo learned about Oshima's situation, he hurriedly set off to find Tiexing, but the price offered by Tiexing was even more unacceptable to Anglo, that is, a series of island bases in the southeast of Wanlun Continent.

This kind of challenge to Anglo's maritime hegemony is the reason why Anglo spent a lot of money to form the Thunder Flash Alliance last time. If Tiexing takes it down at this time, what is the meaning of Anglo's current war with Vaner?

But for Tiexing, it doesn't matter. Compared with "Enma", an idealist who looks at the entire Wanlun, the current leader of Tiexing, Willy, is a pragmatic person.

Regarding the "Kaidi" fortress city, the so-called "Iron Star takes advantage", Willy does not agree at all.

Willy's biggest understanding of this war is that Anglo provoked Oshima and fought a blood feud war with the Sky Empire for four hundred years. Now this blood feud has not been resolved, and it interfered in the early stage of the uprising. It also owes a lot of so-called legal treaties to the Sky Empire. You have not abolished these treaties yet, and you are ready to pull them up for a second transaction. You Anglo still maintain the Thunder Flash Alliance, and you will pick up this "chip" to threaten at any time in the future, so Willy's attitude is very clear.

For the current Iron Star Federation politicians, you used to settle accounts uncleanly, and now you want to bring these unclean old accounts to the negotiation table for negotiation, no way! I will not settle the old accounts with you, and now I will settle the new accounts directly. The South Island Base is available, do you give it or not.

…Enma looked at Willy's "aggression" and sighed: "If it were me, I would not talk to Anglo" because I have a different position from the hegemony, so I don't want to bargain over hegemony. …

February 4, 3241.

The Anglo envoy who visited the sky left Iron Star indignantly, and after returning to Rota City, he spoke in the tone of a victim, saying that "he came to mediate the war with great sincerity, but was humiliated by the vulgar country farmers of Iron Star."

This story was well told, causing the nobles and factory owners in Anglo to curse Iron Star. So they donated money and materials to support the empire to overcome the difficulties now.

Of course, against the background of the nobles' love of dedication, higher tax rates were launched in the empire, and a large number of new factories were forcibly taken over, and unified by the "War Asset Management Committee" formed by Anglo.

Oh, the members of this War Assets Committee have an open director-general (amateur debut) and 20 anonymous senior members. Among these anonymous people who have the right to vote on major events, three are members of the Anglo royal family, and the rest are dukes and heads of key industrial families.

If there are no unruly people digging for the truth about fairness, the rulers will gradually develop various clever ways to make everyone get by and maintain nominal fairness.

In this war, Anglo-Saxon also found their own way and centralized.

Happy New Year
