.
The visit to France returned in vain, and he also received a cold reception when he went to the Duchy of Hannover and the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, which made Leopold a little annoyed and discouraged.
Joseph had already anticipated this result. On the one hand, he comforted his father. As long as God still protects the Holy Roman Empire, then his side must be invincible.
On the other hand, the only remaining arsenal in the territory is allowed to produce tanks, aircraft, artillery, and various guns and ammunition day and night.
At the same time, he ordered Zimin, the only remaining man, to participate in digging trenches as long as he could hold a shovel. Three surrounding trenches must be dug outside each town.
Of course, this was far from stopping the attack of the yellow-skinned monkeys and the Ottomans. Joseph also ordered the garrison everywhere to use lime to preserve a certain number of corpses.
When the weather warms up, especially in midsummer, these corpses can be put to great use...
If we can't have hot weather, it would be better to have continuous rainfall.
An irresistible flood would also have had the effect of blocking the enemy's advance, and would have eliminated the need to preserve bodies.
Just in case, Joseph also sent people to the capital of the Ming Empire, hoping to shake hands with the enemy and make peace.
Since the other party has bribed France, Sweden, Prussia and other countries, it means that the situation is extremely unfavorable to itself.
If the Emperor of the Ming Empire could change his mind and stop the invasion of the Holy Roman Empire, it would be a huge victory.
The conditions offered by Joseph this time were not as high as before. There was no need to pay compensation at all, as long as one million tons of grain were given.
We only ask to keep five places: Austria, Bavaria, Württemberg, Saxony and Bohemia. In addition, everything including Moravia can be given to the other party.
There is no need to return the previously captured Zimin of the Holy Roman Empire, and it will all be regarded as compensation for the military expenses of the Ming Empire.
In Joseph's opinion, he had made enough concessions.
If the Emperor of the Ming Empire still intends to have his own way, then he can only continue to fight...
"That's it?"
Emperor Haojing really didn't take notice of him. He has invested so much money before and he is not short of money. How can he still let you father and son continue to dance in front of the Ming Dynasty King?
Zhu Cihong's reply to Joseph was simple. As long as he abdicated and announced the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, he could ensure the personal safety of all royal members and ensure that they could live a life without worries about food and clothing.
As for other conditions, you don’t need to spend time thinking about it at all!
If you can accept it, accept it; if you don’t accept it, just wait to receive the bomb!
Considering the hot weather in the mainland after summer, this is the case even if you stay in the northern capital.
Zhu Cihong decided to take the opportunity to go to Xindu to inspect the construction situation there, and then headed to Moscow on the way.
It would be a bit too obvious to go to Nancheng (Vladivostok) to escape the summer heat. How would the soldiers fighting bloody battles at the front feel?
If you go along the northern railway, you can escape the heat and listen to reports on the battle situation. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Given how hot this summer has been, it's safe to assume that next summer won't be any better.
The temperature in Xindu and Moscow is more than 20 degrees, which can make people very comfortable in summer.
A certain fat prince originally planned to continue his inspection trip to Nancheng next summer, but the Emperor Chongzhen arrived first.
Chongzhen had only heard that Beidi was developing well, but he had never visited it. After surviving the hot summer, his mind finally became clear.
The fat prince who was ordered to stay in his hometown was not without a plan. At least the summer resort in the mountains north of the capital was still very cool.
The only ones who will really stay in the Northern Capital and continue working are the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department. The good news for the officials is that they no longer need to go to court every Monday.
The Ming court no longer needs to follow formalities. There is no need for civil and military officials to salute an empty dragon chair.
At this time, if you finish your work early, you can rest.
There is only one standard for reviewing and evaluating the work ability of officials, and that is to complete their duties with quality and quantity.
Whether it’s drinking tea at work or working overtime after get off work, the work must be done.
The fundamental reason for low efficiency is lack of ability. If it remains the same for three consecutive years, then it can be demoted or transferred.
Otherwise, why can I receive an annual salary of hundreds of silver coins a year? It’s still fully tax-free!
On March 1, 1736 AD, Zhang Huangyan led the Ming army with five armored brigades, fifteen mechanized infantry brigades, and ten cavalry brigades, as well as sixty brigades of Japanese troops and twenty brigades of Kimchi troops.
Under the cover of more than 5,000 combat aircraft of the Sixth Air Force, they once again invaded the territory of the Holy Roman Empire from the east side of the actual control line.
Later that day, two Prussian corps moved south from the Brandenburg area, with a Swedish corps operating in coordination from the east.
William III sent a corps from the northeastern Netherlands to attack the North Rhine, and Louis XIV ordered six corps under his command to garrison the Rhineland, which had previously welcomed French protection.
The Ottoman Empire on the southern front dispatched 900,000 servants, as well as three armored brigades and six mechanized infantry brigades of Janissaries.
Under the cover of more than 2,000 fighter planes, they once again invaded southern Austria and western Moravia from Hungary.
The next day, after receiving news that the allies were sending troops to the Holy Roman Empire at the same time.
Duke Braunschweig-Lünenburg ordered three infantry brigades from the Duchy of Hanover south, while Duke Friedrich Wilhelm
Together with his uncle, Duke Adolf Friedrich II, he dispatched an infantry brigade.
This was a true encirclement tactic from the east, west, south and north. Except for the small number of enemy troops in the north, the enemies in other directions gave Leopold and his son a great headache.
Joseph, who had already been able to fight the Ming Empire, was not completely without counterattack strategies, which was to first let the defenders in the east, south, and west directions do their best to delay the attack of the enemy in front of them.
Order the mobile force consisting of cavalry, trucks, and armored vehicles to move north quickly, and take advantage of the three traitors who are living outside the country when they send troops to attack their home bases, and grab any food they can transport back.
After the armies of the Principality of Hanover and the Principality of Mecklenburg-Schwerin hurriedly returned to their divisions, the mobile troops waited for opportunities to ambush the other side, striving to end the battle as soon as possible.
A large number of homeless refugees can be released to delay the offensive of the Prussian and Swedish armies, allowing them to deal with hundreds of thousands of refugees first and consume their offensive time.
Joseph believed that the Dutch and French troops on the western front were not very large, and they would most likely digest their occupied areas first, and would not continue to attack eastward for a while.
The Ottoman army on the southern front was not very capable of attacking fortresses, and the most deadly thing to itself was its servant cavalry units that were good at mobile warfare.
As long as Austria's mountains and several large cities are well used, its main force can be held back, and then the air force fighter planes can cooperate with the armored forces to sweep away the enemy cavalry that has invaded their own hinterland.
The real threat was the Ming army on the eastern front. Facing the opponent's extremely powerful aviation and armored forces, the defenders had little power to fight back.
At this time, the role of the previously dug trenches around the city was revealed. Just like the last war, the Yellow-skinned Monkeys would not forcefully attack the city by losing a large number of infantry.
A combination of artillery bombardment and air strikes will also be used to eventually force the garrison with excessive casualties to surrender.
This time, unlike last time, the defenders built many air-raid shelters and underground bunkers in the city to support their long-term defense of the town.
Crown Prince Joseph's arrangement seemed very appropriate, and Leopold couldn't help but admire it.
As long as there are no major problems with the defenders in the four directions, maybe we can really delay the invading enemy until summer, and then use God's blessing to defeat it...
However, the Ming-Japanese coalition forces responsible for the main attack this time have changed their tactics. Although they also need to besiege the city, the task of siege is handed over to the Kimchi Division who have just arrived.
Team.
The Ming-Japanese coalition forces took advantage of the lack of rain at the beginning of spring and continued to use armored troops as sharp spears to advance rapidly into the hinterland of the Holy Roman Empire.
Zhang Huangyan learned from the previous two experiences and lessons, took advantage of the situation, and used ready-made trenches to imprison the defenders in the town, turning them into tactical islands.
Let the Kimchi army, who are not very good at field operations and offensive tasks, be responsible for guarding the defenders inside. As long as they are equipped with enough tanks and armored vehicles, they will not be afraid of the other party rushing out to die.
Twenty Kimchi brigades can guard at least twenty towns. If not enough, twenty or thirty brigades of Japanese troops can be deployed to complete the task.
This operation was coordinated by Swedish and Prussian troops in the northeast direction, and they could easily and happily complete the task of guarding the city.
Sweden had no need for the land of the Holy Roman Empire, and Zhang Huangyan also knew that he could not let Karl XI's men do the dirty work.
The same is true for Frederick the Younger's troops. Just let their three armies stay in northern Saxony and the central and northern areas of the original Polly.
The Ming-Japanese coalition forces needed to quickly rush from the side of the actual control line to the line from Dresden to Prague within a month.
The Ottoman army fighting on the southern front had better not besiege Vienna again, which was almost exhausted, but directly penetrate Austria and invade southern Germany.
Although this is the largest deployment of troops by the coalition in history, there is no need to act steadily because it is necessary to compete with the possible outbreak of diseases in the summer.
The three months of March, April and May are the best times to fight. Once June enters, the weather in the war zone will probably not be conducive to the coalition forces continuing to fight there.
To quickly enter the hinterland of the Holy Roman Empire, it is best to burn the flames of war throughout the opponent's heartland, which means to penetrate the opponent's deep defense lines in a short time and attack the enemy's effective strength.
For this reason, in the first week of the war, the pilots of the 2,400 "Black-footed Albatross" and 3,600 "Flamingo" fighters belonging to the Sixth Air Force needed to fly every day as long as the fighter planes did not malfunction. We were dispatched about two or three times.
The cost of maintaining a high attendance rate is also obvious. After a week, about 20% of the fighter planes were in maintenance status and were temporarily unable to take off for combat.
The rear factories can replenish one hundred "Black-footed Albatross" and two hundred "Flamingo" fighters for the front line every month, which is 1,800 advanced fighters in half a year.
If supply for the Ottoman side is not considered, the support intensity can be further increased, but the allies fighting on the southern front are also very important, and some must be taken into account at this time.
The single-engine "Falcon" and twin-engine "Eagle" fighter jets manufactured by the Holy Roman Empire had almost zero time left for technicians to improve due to the short interval between the two wars.
The performance of the two fighter jets cannot be improved. They are still no match for the "Black-footed Albatross" and "Flamingo", not to mention that the latter still has a great numerical advantage.
Under the orders of Crown Prince Joseph, the Holy Roman Empire Air Force no longer dared to dispatch large-scale fleet operations like the previous two times.
Once hundreds of advanced-performance fighters are consumed in an air battle, they cannot be replenished in a short period of time.
We can only conduct aerial guerrilla warfare in small formations in the hope of accumulating a small amount into a large amount...
For the Ming Air Force, which uses large formation offensive tactics, this is nothing more than scratching the surface, and there is no need to care about the opponent's fly-like play style.
The purpose of the Ming army's aircraft fleet is to cover the rapid advance of ground troops. They are dispatched during the day, take turns to escort in relays, and return to the airport before dusk.
The Ming Army's armored brigade relied on the No. 9 heavy tank to clear the way. Facing layers of enemies blocking the way, the offensive continued unabated.
In order to destroy as many enemy targets as possible, some tanks even have as many as seventy or eighty ammunition.
On the way forward, there was no obstruction from a large number of enemy armored vehicles. Most of them were bunkers and firepower points located in the mountains.
Most of these prey belong to the Army Aviation Force, and the helicopter's primary task is to destroy the enemy's
The main task of the tank is to destroy the target on the mountain.
The Holy Roman Empire mountain infantry on the mountain was not unprepared, and was equipped with many machine guns and machine guns.
However, the Ming Army's "Black Hawk" armed helicopters and "Condor" utility helicopters have also been upgraded and modified. The biggest feature is the installation of a cannon under the nose, which improves the helicopter's straight-line attack capabilities.
Moreover, army aviation units are usually dispatched in groups. Facing enemy targets in a certain area, they have an absolute numerical advantage and can completely overwhelm the opponent in terms of firepower.
Unless there is flat ground on the top of the mountain so that Ming army tanks cannot directly aim, the Holy Roman Empire soldiers on the mountain will have to face crossfire from the air and the ground.
There was no danger to defend the Polish plains, and Tsar Nicholas could only lead his 200,000 Russian troops to continue to hold on to the two important places of the Sudeten Mountains and the Western Carpathians.
But similar to the results of the last blockade, the Russian troops lacking heavy weapons and air cover could not withstand the rampage of the Ming-Japanese coalition forces.
Looking at the long armored dragon at the foot of the mountain, the Russian soldiers could only raise their heads and sigh, why are those tanks with powerful firepower not their own?
God is so unfair, allowing the yellow-skinned monkey to master such advanced manufacturing technology, and then beat himself up. This is an unforgivable crime!
If God hears his prayers, he should send down countless bolts of lightning to destroy the tanks down the mountain that threaten his life and safety!
What's embarrassing is that the sky was clear that day, with not even a few clouds, and the sky seemed to be sleeping soundly...
