Zhao Xu stood in front of the huge world map in front of the imperial study, staring at the location of Sam Country.

At present, the entire East Earth region has been connected by wired cables, and Dasong, with Yancheng as the center, is popularizing telephones.

He can get any movement in these areas at the first time.

But Sam Country is too far away from Dasong after all, so he can only wait patiently for news about the front line.

He thought that the war should have started at this time.

Then, his eyes turned to the direction of Middle Earth.

Sam Country is only part of this strategic counterattack.

In addition to the direction of Sam Country, he decided to take action in the direction of Middle Earth at the same time to defeat the Tusman Empire, the minions of the West Earth in Middle Earth.

While further restoring the order in Middle Earth, extend the tentacles to the Dark Continent, approach the West Earth, and finally achieve the goal of encircling the West Earth.

For this reason, after discussing with Chang Wei, he gave an order to Guan Tong.

In addition to training troops for the Persian State, the Suzaku Army also took the approach of supporting India to support the rebels in the Middle Earth countries and the Dark Continent tribes.

These rebels were unwilling to be enslaved and oppressed by the Western countries and had a firm will to fight.

They were the helpers who overthrew the order of the Western countries.

As for Dasong, the foreign policy he and the cabinet formulated was not a colonial policy.

It was enough for him to take over Nanzhanzhou and the vast Siberia.

Even these two huge territories would probably take a hundred years to digest.

So there was no need to imitate the Western colonists.

Moreover, people's wisdom gradually opened up during this period. In the early 19th century, the anti-colonial movement in South America began vigorously.

This era is also the same.

It is inappropriate to do this again, which will only damage its own image and increase Dasong's management costs in the world.

It is better to rely on Dasong's industrial strength to do business with other countries and gain wealth.

And this is one of the reasons why he is eager to break the order of the Western countries.

The colonies controlled by the Western countries will not allow Dasong's goods to enter.

In this case, he can only turn the table.

However, Dasong's strategic counterattack will not be achieved overnight.

It may take three, five or even longer to achieve.

But it doesn't matter, time is on Dasong's side.

With the development of Dasong's industry, the gap between them and the West will become larger and larger.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu's mouth corners slightly raised.

Now, the enemies of Dasong are afraid.

...

At the same time, while he was thinking, the battle of Changtan reached a critical stage.

Hundreds of small boats were riding the wind and waves on the sea, leaving white waves and rushing to the beach.

When they entered the beach about 500 meters away.

There were bursts of artillery fire in the trenches on the opposite side, and shrapnel flew towards the sea.

However, during the three days of bombing, the artillery of the Sam army suffered heavy losses, and the bombardment was not very fierce.

Moreover, due to the low level of the opponent's shrapnel.

Some shells exploded in the air, and more sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

Occasionally, a few shells exploded between small boats, and the soldiers lying on the ground could avoid the scratches of shrapnel.

Of course, there were also small boats that were not lucky enough and suffered casualties.

But these casualties were not enough to affect the army's landing operations.

Furthermore, the artillery on the warships found the position of the enemy's artillery and took special care of it.

The remaining artillery of the Sam country was constantly decreasing.

The Sam soldiers in the trenches could only watch the Dasong's troop transport ship dock.

This situation made the Sam officers and soldiers' hearts rise to their throats.

"Machine gunners find shooting positions, mortars are in place, and focus on bombarding the enemy's heavy firearms! Others are on alert."

A small boat docked, and the Dasong general immediately gave orders.

At this time, the artillery of the warship stopped.

The battlefield will be handed over to them next.

The soldiers had practiced landing countless times before the war, and they executed the general's orders smoothly.

After establishing a beachhead position, they waited for the follow-up troops to land and launch a general attack when the number of people was sufficient.

"Admiral, we should launch an attack now and drive the soldiers on the beachhead into the sea, otherwise it will be very troublesome once their number increases." A Sam officer proposed to Bolton.

For any officer, now is the best time to counterattack.

Bolton nodded.

They all knew that the Dasong army was very powerful.

But he had to try and not let the other side send more troops to the land.

"Let the Clay Corps execute this order." Bolton said.

Each legion of the Sam country has 50,000 people, and there are nine legions in Long Beach.

Soon after his order was issued, soldiers walking in the trenches were soldiers of the Clay Corps.

Not long after, they rushed out of the trenches and charged towards the beach.

"Da Da Da..."

At this moment, the machine guns on the beach sounded.

The Han-style machine guns spewed flames at a rate of 600 rounds per minute.

The firepower formed by the cross-shot of several machine guns immediately covered the Sam soldiers rushing over.

Other soldiers also pulled the trigger and fired.

Some mortars also threw shells into the Sam soldiers.

Under the fierce firepower, the Sam soldiers fell one after another.

"What the hell is that!" Bolton has been holding a monocular telescope and watching the battlefield.

Dasong's machine guns and mortars immediately attracted his attention.

Its ferocious lethality made his heart tremble.

He heard that Dasong had a musket that could fire continuously, but it was said that the firing rate was not very fast.

How come it was completely different from what was rumored now?

He had never heard of or seen the small tube that two soldiers operated to fire cannonballs.

"Da da da..." The gunshots continued.

While the two sides were fighting, small boats kept coming ashore in Dasong, and these soldiers immediately joined the battle, with increasingly fierce firepower.

But without his order, the Clay Corps did not stop the attack.

The soldiers of the Sam country continued to attack the beach, leaving a pile of corpses.

Half an hour later, the bodies of the Sam country soldiers covered the beach, with more than 6,000 people dead.

The soldiers of Dasong suffered almost no losses, and the number of soldiers on the beach increased, filling the beach.

These scenes fell into Bolton's eyes, and his palms were sweating with nervousness, but he had no way to deal with it.

War is sometimes stupid, without many flexible skills.

If the Dasong army landed, they had to defend the beach and prevent them from landing.

Otherwise, they would lose the colony.

But he was clear about one thing in his mind.

The strength of the Sam army and the Dasong army was very different.

This battle was probably a rabbit fighting a lion.

The battle continued, and they suffered more than 30,000 casualties in repeated charges.

At this time, the sun set and darkness fell.

Bolton secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the Dasong army would not launch another attack at night, giving them a chance to breathe.

However, his hope was ultimately dashed.
