MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 471 Post-war affairs

The 471th chapter of the post-war war

At the beginning of March 1964, from early March to early April, as the offshore transport ships departed from Rhodes Bay and returned to their respective ports, the colonies of the West Coast countries already knew the remaining four of the Hicks Kingdom. The standing army was smashed and lost the news of a joint fleet. What is even more interesting is that even the colonies of the Rhodes Bay were occupied by the troops in the territorial war zone, saying that they would replace the Hicks Kingdom to complete the five-year lease agreement...

Well, the Hicks Kingdom has once again become the object of ridicule in the colonies of the West Coast countries. Two years ago, the Hicks Kingdom declared the formation of ten standing corps and vowed to the colony of Rodex Bay in the Fox Islands, United Kingdom, and vowed to be with Olvera The kingdom’s overseas territorial war zone will carry this colonial war to the end.

At that time, everyone thought that the winner of the war must be the Hicks Kingdom. It was very simple. The two kings of the Ovilas Kingdom were in a position to fight, the civil war broke out, and the dog’s brain was hit. How can we think about overseas direct management and Hick? The colonial war of the Kingdom of Slovakia. Whether it is military or logistical support, the wealthy Hicks Kingdom has a clear advantage. At that time, some good people even set up a market, when the gambling war ended, the theater would lose a few direct jurisdictions and so on.

Then there was an accident. The five standing corps of the Hicks Kingdom, who launched the attack for the first time, smashed a sap, and was annihilated by the trio of the trio. The result of this war has surprised many people and has a new understanding of the combat strength of the two legions in the territorial jurisdiction. However, as the Hicks Kingdom transported the rest of the Legion to the colony of the Rhodes Bay, most people still optimistic about the Hicks Kingdom will achieve the final victory.

Then again, the Hicks Kingdom deployed more than 400,000 troops in the colony of the Rhodes Bay. So many troops can fight against the small and medium-sized kingdoms and the Principality in the Farrea continent. However, the territory directly under the jurisdiction can not get the strength and material support of the kingdom, it is difficult to withstand the second attack launched by the Hicks.

The next battle news, along with the help of the Hicks soldiers, the owners and sailors of the ships that landed in the fishing port towns of the territorial warlords, have been passed back to the colonies of the West Coast countries, so many newspapers and experts believe that the direct control The lead-up area suffered heavy losses under the subtle tactics of the Hicks. The final outcome of this colonial war was only to bow down and admit defeat.

At that time, the Hicks were stationed in the fishing port towns of three standing corps of more than 100,000 troops to besiege the administrative center of the territorial jurisdiction and the theater headquarters where Lanhu City, and the defenders only had more than 13,000 people, more than ten times The force gap, everyone thinks that Lanhu City can be pointed. As a result, the Hicks suffered five or sixty thousand casualties. After nearly a month of **** battles, they have not yet won the entire city of Lanhu. It is almost unthinkable for everyone who is concerned about this war.

Then the Thunder Legion rushed to help. At this time, all the aftermath of Zhuge Liang believed that the biggest mistake made by the Hicks was that they did not pre-empt the Dolly Bara River defense line and cut off the road of reinforcements in the territory. When the Thunder Army crossed the Linika River and appeared outside the city of Lanhu, the Hicks could only turn to the attack and hand over the battlefield initiative.

When the fishing port town was burned to the white ground by the Thunder Legion's surprise attack, the pontoon was also burned down, which means that the three standing Legion of the Hicks who landed lost their retreat. The Hicks, who were besieged by the Thunder Corps, mistakenly chose the strategy of retreating to the Mormarly-directed leader under their control. They thoroughly painted the three standing corps that landed in the Blue War City. The full stop.

Under the endless harassment and attacks of the Thunder Army’s good-attack light squad, day and night, the three standing corps of the Hicks on the retreat eventually collapsed, and most of them became directly governed. The captives of the theater, even to the senior officers of the three standing army of the Hicks in the coastal town of Pobi, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Mormaly, looked at the Hicks battleship in the distant sea, but could not Crossing the beach and shallow sea area blocked by the Thunder Legionnaires, the white flag surrendered...

This landing war confirmed the strong fighting power of the two legions in the territorial war zone, but at the same time both sides suffered the same heavy losses. The loss of the Hicks was once again annihilated by the three standing army regiments. The direct control of the war zone was because the war occurred within its own interior. The city of Lanhu was almost in ruins, and the casualties of the casualties were heavy.

When the newspapers of the colonies of the West Coast published the special commentary on this war, they agreed that the two regiments in the territory directly under the jurisdiction could rival the five or six standing army of the Hicks, one to two or five or three. The point can be proved and concluded in the performance of the Thunder Corps after rushing to the Battlefield of Lanhu City and subsequent attacks on the Hicks in the retreat. However, most newspapers believe that the two sides will remain calm for a while, at least for half a year. The Hicks need to get reinforcements from the mainland again, and the territorial war zone needs to calm the war wounds...

Because the Hicks Kingdom has more than 260,000 troops in the colony of the Rhodes Bay, this force may not be enough, but the defense still has some strength. In particular, they have set up a complete defensive camp on the northern and eastern mountainous borders. Together with the defensive front of the rear Fengbikegang, they are guarded at all levels, which can prevent the troops in the direct control zone from attacking the rear of the total logistics base. Camp, there is no worries.

In addition, the jurisdictional waters of the territorial jurisdiction are under the control of the Neptune Fleet and the Joint Fleet of the Hicks Kingdom. The direct control zone must guard against the Hicks landing again from the war zone, and the coastal zone of the territorial jurisdiction is very long. It is necessary to divide the troops, so that it is impossible to concentrate on the attack on the Hicks. Therefore, the newspaper reviews of the colonies of the West Coast countries believe that this colonial war will continue until one of them continues to persist.

I didn’t expect that the landing war initiated by the Hicks had not been in the past three months. The territorial battlefields were downhill, using the Buffalo business and the Hicks logistics officer in the colony of the Rhodes Bay to trade in arbitrage. In the fleet, they crossed the Hicks cruise ship and arrived at the Rhodes Bay. They raided the Hicks’ total logistics base and captured the entire combined fleet of warships and ocean carriers.

Then, the first division of the Thunder Corps raided the Hicks defensive front in Fengbikegang, annihilated the Third Legion of the Expedition, and continued to work hard. The soldiers attacked the camp of the Fourth Army of the Expedition on the northern mountainous boundary, meeting the two sides of the Thunder Second Division. The attack and the victory again eliminated the Hicks’ expedition to the Fourth Army.

In the end, the Thunder Corps raided the Second Legion of the Expedition of the Hicks in the eastern mountainous area and the First Army of the Shame. Under the cooperation of the Second Division of the Rock, after nearly ten days of fierce fighting, the first leg of the Shame and the Second Legion of the Expedition were forced. The remnant, in one fell swoop, eliminated all the troops deployed by the Hicks Kingdom in the colony of Rhodes Bay, plus a joint fleet.

This is indeed an unquestionable victory, or it can be said that this colonial war that has lasted for seven years with the Hicks Kingdom has ended, and the territorial war zone has become the final winner. This almost shocked the chin of all the newspaper commentators on the West Coast. Think about the ten standing army of the Hicks Kingdom. Then look at the ending of the ten standing army squads, and always make people have a world that is too human. Unexpected feeling.

The Pioneer Tribune, the largest circulation on the West Coast, commented that if the Hicks Kingdom wanted to continue the colonial war, it would have to rebuild more than ten standing corps and build a joint fleet again. At the same time, we have to wait five years for the lease of the colony of the Rhodes Bay to expire. After the withdrawal of the troops in the territorial jurisdiction from the colony of the Rhodes Bay, we will negotiate with the Fox Islands and the second lease of Rodex. The Gulf colony can continue this colonial war. Any king who can think normally, will not put countless money into this colonial war that does not see the hope of victory...

The most ridiculous thing is that at the end of April, the Neptune Fleet of the Hicks Kingdom was loaded with a standing army that had just been formed to replenish the troops to reach the mainland of Nubbia, and then learned about the Rhodes Bay Colony in the harbor where the West Coast temporarily moored supplies. The news that has fallen into the hands of the territorial war zone, the four standing army groups were annihilated, and the joint fleet was also captured. These sap sticks immediately let the commander of the Neptune fleet sit on the wax, do not know what to do.... ..

The Neptune Fleet, which is full of soldiers and supplies, is not suitable for launching naval battles and landing wars. If you don't go north, there is no one in the colonial ports of the West Coast who welcomes the Hidden Fleet of the Hicks Kingdom to stay there. It doesn't matter if it is a sea king fleet, but there is still a standing army group that can only be rejected.

Because no one knows if the Hicks will suddenly launch a landing attack and seize their own colonies. Therefore, every time the Neptune Fleet arrives at a port, it will attract armed guards and vigilance. Even the replenishment cannot be docked. It is directly sent to the sea by a transport ship, and the price has doubled...

After ten days and a half of sloshing in the West Coast, the Neptune Fleet could not hold on, and there was no place to dock. When you stay there, you have to sell the ship to replenish the supplies. In the end, the Sea King Fleet can only replenish the nautical resources in the pockets of the Twilight and set foot on the journey of returning to the air. At the same time, he will bring this unfortunate news back to the Kingdom. .

Crowder had been in the colony of Rodex Bay for three months at this time. It took only half a month and twenty days to go to the end of the war, but it took more than two months to sweep the tail. This will have just been squashed with the administrative officials in the Bay of Lodz Bay, reaffirming the five-year expiration of the lease of the Rhodes Bay colony signed by the Hicks Kingdom and the Fox Islands, the troops of the theater. Will withdraw from the colony of Rodex Bay.

This is because the territorial war zone defeated the Hicks kingdom, so everything that the Hicks Kingdom left in the colony of the Rhodes Bay will become the spoils of the territorial war zone. This rental agreement is no exception. The colonies of the Rhodes Bay will be occupied by the forces of the territorial jurisdiction until the lease expires and the colony will be returned to the Kingdom of the Fox Islands.

Seriously speaking, the troops directly under the jurisdiction of the war zone are not welcomed by residents and officials in the Bay of Lodz Bay. Because compared to the Hicks, the direct control of the theater can be said to be the shackles, whether it is the Thunder Army or the soldiers of the Rock Corps, will not go to the city to spend the day. Even the windy tents opened by the residents in the city near the big camp, few soldiers came to patronize, and in terms of money, they would count more than the Hicks, and never spend a lot of money.

For officials in the Bay of Lodz Bay, the logistical supplies in the territorial war zone are replenished with their own theater supply, and they will not be procured from the city, leaving the city’s officials without the extra money to make a fortune. In addition to the various materials and reserves of grain seized in the big camp, it is enough for the troops stationed here to consume for a year and a half. Even the military supplies of the Hicks Kingdom, which the officials of the city want to buy, have risen by half. Last time it was a discount, but this time it was almost sold at the original price, but it was less expensive.

When these administrative officials in the Bay of Lodz Bay took their teeth and bought the weapons and other military supplies of the Hicks Kingdom, they came to ask when the troops in the territorial area were evacuated, but the result was from Crow. De's mouth knows a bad news: the troops in the territorial war zone are not ready to leave, and will stay here until the lease expires.

This is a blue sky for the administrative officials in the city. The troops in the territory where you are directly under the jurisdiction do not leave. When will the Hicks come, who are they not going to sell the weapons and equipment we bought? Claude comforted them and said that the Hicks would not be able to sell to the residents of the colonies of the West Coast or to those who were armed. How to say it is also the active equipment of the Hicks Kingdom army, the profit is still two or three percent...

Waiting for news from the West Coast in May, the Hicks Fleet of the Hicks Kingdom is full of a standing army and military supplies swaying for half a month in the waters of the colonies of the West Coast countries. It is impossible to find a port that can be parked, but only helpless. Can embark on a voyage to return home. At this time, Claude finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the colony of the Rhodes Bay will be placed under the jurisdiction of the territorial jurisdiction in the next two years.

At this time, the mountainous area of ​​the neighboring Rhodes Bay colony, including the northern mountainous area and the eastern mountainous area, which was ceded from the Nikkanese country, has been named by the theater headquarters as the direct jurisdiction of the Rocky Mountains and became the first in the territory of the direct jurisdiction. Nine overseas direct jurisdictions. Although this municipality is a mountainous area, it is rich in mineral resources. There are seventeen small and medium-sized gold and silver mines, and other mineral resources have not yet been explored.

Twenty-three thousand Hicks prisoners captured in the colony of Rodex Bay have entered the ruling under the **** of four local garrisons, and they will assume the responsibility of building roads and building fortress castles in the mountains, so many projects. Building enough for them to work for three or four years. And Claude also represents the theater, and they are guaranteed to let them eat and wear warm, sick and pharmacists for treatment, usually have a meager salary every month, if they do well, there are rewards, etc...

In short, the 230,000 Hicks Captive Theater guarantees that they should be treated as normal workers, not prisoners of hard labor. This was also a prerequisite for the first army of the last war to lay down the surrender of weapons, and General Beechling agreed to this request.

To be honest, the territorial war zone is actually miserable by the emerging commercial aristocrats of the kingdom. At the beginning, Marshal Michelle agreed to the requirements of the emerging commercial aristocrats, handing over 300,000 Hicks captives to them, in exchange for 100,000 retired soldiers and family immigrants. As a result, more than 300,000 Hicks captives were abused in the hands of emerging business aristocrats, and even after they were re-armed to form a legion, they became the most stubborn, heroic and fearless opponents facing the territorial war zone. The two legions were so badly damaged.

This time, General Beechklin will lead the second division of the Rocks to the colony of the Rocks Bay, while allowing General Beechling to take up the construction duties of the Luoqi Mountain District. The first division of Claude's Thunder will be stationed at the Monknad Castle, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the port of Vibator, to monitor the movement of the Nikkanese state and the security of the direct administration of the port of Vibator. General Albert was led by the second division of the Thunder to return to Lanhu Town as a mobile force in the theater.

Crowder will select a group of honesty from the captured fleet of sailors to transfer out of the captive camp. They will sail from the Rhodes Bay under the surveillance of the Thunder Army officers and officers. Tow port, then to the port of Patras, directly under the jurisdiction of Robis. In the next two or three years, the territorial war zone will build its own ocean fleet.

Only when Claude arrived at the port of Vibator, he received a letter from the war zone commander, and Colonel Bocker finally returned...
