With so much weapon protection, Zhu Cixiang believes that Australia and the Southwest Pacific each have half the Indian Ocean, and there should be no problem.
If something happened, it would have to happen somewhere else. Zhu Cixiang didn't know where exactly, but at the beginning of the month he summoned the aircraft carrier battle group included in the gift package.
No matter where you find the fleet summoned by Shi Ren, just let Jiexuan's fleet pounce on it.
Western Australia is not far from eastern Africa, the Middle East, and the East China Sea. Citizen can repair warships, so it is indeed a very good place.
Originally, Zhu Cixiang wanted to take a battleship to move to Fujian and the Inca Empire, and at the same time express his gratitude to his disciples Zheng Chenggong and Poirot.
Since I didn't receive a big gift package from Shiren, this visit was out of the question. If the situation wasn't too optimistic, I would have to return the same way.
The time of departure mainly depends on whether Shiren's whereabouts can be discovered in the near future. Wherever this guy appears, there will be a new battlefield!
As long as Shi Ren is not discovered, Zhu Cixiang will not know where the new battlefield is.
It became a game of wits and courage...
In order not to be discovered, the opponent even delayed the summoning move that could be activated at the beginning of the month.
As long as the Japanese fleet appears, it will definitely be discovered by reconnaissance satellites in the sky.
Zhu Cihong thought that Shi Ren had already considered this, so he held back.
King Suleiman of Persia had already learned from his men about Shiren's appearance on the southern coast of Persia, but this man was undoubtedly a trouble.
The news of the battle between the Ming fleet and the Japanese fleet in New Zealand has spread all over the world, and the former won a great victory, while the latter was completely wiped out. I am afraid that only submarines can escape.
The fact that Shi Ren could come to the coast of Persia not only failed, but also failed completely. Now he is completely seeking for himself.
"My father is old and is no longer capable of many important things. Sultan, my father has decided to return the throne to you. From now on, you are the Lord of Persia!"
The old king Suleiman felt that he had lost control of the changes in the past year, especially joining forces with King David to attack the Ottomans. This was really too risky.
However, his son Sultan Hussein insisted on doing this, because Hussein had already summoned the army to bloodbath the palace.
Get rid of those eunuchs and guards who are not trusted, and make everyone around the king obey his orders.
Hussein studied abroad in the Ming Empire when he was young. After returning from his studies, he also hoped that other countries could imitate the Ming Empire.
Through continuous learning and development, we can achieve a prosperous country and a strong military, and be able to have a place in the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia.
However, the newly appointed eunuchs of his father, Suleiman, have been controlling political affairs. Although they are also on good terms with the Ming Empire, they are far from meeting Hussein's expectations.
Even priceless treasures such as elixirs, his father wanted to share them with the eunuchs. Hussein dared not say anything about this because the eunuchs had military power in their hands.
He wanted to request the Ming Empire to send troops, but Emperor Haojing said it was inconvenient to interfere. If successful, how would the heads of other countries feel?
Hussein could only be cautious and patient, and finally received a gift from God, and used the summoned army to clean up the garbage that should not have lived so long if it had not come.
Afterwards, we saw that a large number of rebels had appeared in the East Africa area under the jurisdiction of the Ottoman Empire, and the other party defeated the Austrian army in Somalia and Sudan.
Jewish troops appeared again in the Holy City, defeating the Austrian troops around Jerusalem, and finally even invaded the Mesopotamia.
When Hussein saw this, he could no longer watch the battle. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he didn't take action, I'm afraid the entire Middle East would become Jewish territory in the future.
So both sides found that the other side was not weak, so Hussein and David reached an agreement to fight side by side against the Ottoman army.
But after Ibrahim received the Hungarian gift package and the Romanian gift package, the battlefield situation changed significantly.
The Hungarian gift package and the Romanian gift package that Ibrahim received were not as luxurious as the weapons and equipment summoned by King David, but they were quite good together.
The Hungarian gift package includes the KF-41 "Lynx" infantry fighting vehicle and the "Kormond" armored vehicle.
Romania’s gift package also includes equipment for the navy, land and air forces, and can summon four "Malasesti" destroyers (full load displacement of 5,790 tons) and eight "Tetor"-2 frigates every month. (Full load displacement 1500 tons).
It seems useless, but after one year of accumulation, the number can reach as many as 144, which is more than enough to at least engage in shore strikes and anti-submarine missions.
The IAR-93 attack aircraft is the J-22 "Eagle", with mediocre performance. Its strength is ground attack. The "Skylark" -3 light helicopter and the "Jaguar" medium helicopter can also play an icing on the cake.
More importantly, the TR-125 main battle tank (imitation of T-72), MLI-84M tracked infantry fighting vehicle (imitation of BMP-1), "Saul"-2 wheeled 8*8 armored vehicle, CA-95M air defense Heavy equipment such as vehicles (4 launches, range 4.2 kilometers), ATROM-155mm truck cannon, LAROM-160mm 26-barreled rocket launcher, has greatly alleviated the Austrian army's lack of heavy weapons.
Especially the Magyars and Dacians who charged into the battle gave Ibrahim, who had lost a large number of guardsmen in the early stage, a big sigh of relief, otherwise he would have been defeated by the rebels from three directions. The fight was in danger.
Although the performance of these main battle equipment is still not as good as the same type of weapons of the Jews or Persians, it is much better than waiting for assistance from the Ming Empire or waiting eagerly for the factory to go offline.
The prerequisite for engaging in a war of attrition with the enemy is that you must have troops and equipment to consume. If you get the gift package a few months later, I am afraid Ibrahim himself will feel that he should move the capital to Vienna in advance...
The Great Gift, combined with the powerful Ottoman fleet, can at least maintain a certain military threat in the southeastern coastal areas of the Mediterranean.
For Ibrahim, the most critical moment was undoubtedly when Egypt was attacked by the Russian army, whose leading troops were less than 100 kilometers away from Cairo.
Ibrahim was ready to abandon Cairo and let the defenders withdraw to the northern port, but the opponent's offensive came to an abrupt end.
Because an old friend used a super weapon somewhere to help him once and for all deal with the enemy who almost took over the entire Egypt.
With the enemy leader killed, the Ottoman defenders also had the opportunity to counterattack and took advantage of the situation to regain the previously lost East African region.
However, the Israeli army not only captured the two river basins, but also invaded the entire peninsula.
Except for Qatar, Bahrain, and the Horn of Persia controlled by the Ming Empire, most of them were attacked by the Israeli army.
Considering that the strength gap between the two sides is too great, and the current biggest enemy is the Ottomans, Israel has not declared war on the Ming Empire before.
This choice was undoubtedly the right one, because the rebels who occupied East Africa and tried to seize North Africa were defeated by the Ming Empire within a year.
The Persian army only moved westward and took advantage of the chaos to occupy part of the western part of French India. It had no intention of invading the central state of the Ming Empire from the north.
On the surface, the Kingdom of Persia and the Ming Empire continued to maintain their previous mutually beneficial and friendly relations.
"Father, you are..."
Hussein was surprised by his father's sudden decision, even though he had already become the regent and achieved monopoly of power.
"Persia's future is already in your hands. I just want to remind you, and I hope you can keep it in mind!"
"OK!"
"Last year, there were many people around the world who had the same summoning ability as you, but now, how many are left? There is only one reason why they have not survived until now, and that is because they are enemies of the Ming Empire!"
Suleiman had a clear view of the developments and changes in the world situation, and was particularly concerned about the Ming Empire's victories and defeats on battlefields around the world.
From the beginning of the counter-insurgency to the present, basically every battle must be won, which means that the world hegemon will not fall from the altar in the future.
"Father, I understand!"
Hussein knew what his father meant, but it would be difficult to spit out the land he had already eaten.
"Ottoman is far more important to the Ming Empire than us. If he had to make a choice between the two, the emperor of the Ming Empire would definitely choose Osman."
"what do you mean……"
"It's best not to let the emperor make the final choice, return to the state before the war, and just pretend that nothing happened!"
"...I will think about it carefully!"
Hussein cannot make a decision yet, but it is related to the future of himself and the whole of Persia.
"The emperor made a choice, and what awaits Persia will be destruction! You made a wrong choice, and the same goes for you!"
"..."
Hussein felt very uncomfortable, as this was tantamount to being threatened in disguise.
Even if he possesses the summoning ability gifted by God, he is still far from being able to compete with the Emperor of the Ming Empire.
Annoyed, Hussein also understood that even if he teamed up with King David, he would not be able to defeat the alliance between Ibrahim and Zhu Cihong.
I had studied abroad in Beidu and met the latter more than once. In a sense, he was also my first teacher.
Hussein hoped that Persia would become as powerful as the Ming Empire under his hard work.
Even if it cannot become a world hegemon, it can still become a hegemon in the Middle East.
Now the Ottoman Empire is the hegemon in the Middle East, and Persia is just one of the challengers.
In terms of military strength, King David's Israel seems to be more qualified to challenge.
Hussein looked down upon the Jews, but the Israeli army could indeed win the war.
He could not guarantee that the Persian army could easily defeat the main force of the Ottoman army without the intervention of a third party.
Even if he wins, it is likely to be a miserable victory...
"Hello, Hussein, I am Zhu Cixiang!"
"Hello, dear Zhu!"
"I'll keep the story short. I spoke to your father before and he said that you have just inherited the throne. So I congratulate you on becoming the new king of Persia!"
"Thanks!"
"There's something I hope you can consider!"
"Please say!"
"I hope you can consider withdrawing troops from the eastern region of the Ottoman Empire, and I can mediate to ensure that Ibrahim will not be held accountable afterwards."
"oh?"
"This proposal is entirely for your consideration and that of Persia as a whole, because France has recovered the previously rebellious areas of French India, and Louis XIV demands the return of the western areas of French India occupied by your army."
"I heard about it!"
"Of course, this may not be important to you. But I can tell you frankly that from June this year to the end of the year, I will deliver to Louis XIV about eight armored brigades of heavy equipment, nine thousand jets fighter jets and three aircraft carrier battle groups. I guess that after Louis XIV obtained a large number of new weapons, he would not be willing to let the western region of French India continue to be occupied by your army!"
"...I am very confused. Why do you strongly support France?"
"Because there was a person in French India who had superpowers similar to yours before, but he was eliminated by me. The superpower I obtained can also summon new weapons, and Louis XIV is naturally the beneficiary. I can also tell You, Ibrahim, have twice as many superpowers now, and they may grow to four times as much in the future. Even if you join forces with that Jew, it will be difficult to defeat Ibrahim!"
"...Is this true? How many times your superpower is mine now?"
"No less than three times!"
"...Can super powers really be superimposed?"
"As far as I know, this is the case, so I advise you to stop in time. If it exceeds the time limit, I'm afraid your life will be in danger, and your superpowers will not be preserved by then!"
"Are you going to..."
"I won't do anything to you. Regarding the war between the Ottomans and your country, the Ming Empire will continue to remain neutral. But if you insist on not withdrawing troops from the western region of French India, I estimate that Louis XIV may be against you within the year. Your country has taken action. At that time, your country will face the possibility of a two-front war, and the French navy will blockade your country’s southern coastal areas.”
"I am not afraid of the threat from Louis XIV!"
"That's what I'm worried about!"
"Why?"
"On the Western Front battlefield, your army can join forces with the Israeli army, and there is no need to consider naval battles. On the Eastern Front battlefield, your army not only has no allies, but also encounters the powerful French navy. Most of your navy is Chinese. Small combat ships are only suitable for fighting in the Persian Gulf. Once they leave the offshore sea, they will become passive."
The main force of the Ottoman navy was in the Mediterranean, and the Sudan Canal had been blocked before.
The French mainland is connected to French India, not to mention that the theater can be reinforced from the sea.
The most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of the Ottoman Army is relatively spread out, and the combat effectiveness of the three French armies is relatively balanced.
Originally, the combat capabilities of the French navy and air force were significantly higher than that of the Persian navy and air force. They will be able to reach a higher level after receiving the third brother's gift package.
If Louis XIV smashed all the eight armored brigades, 9,000 jet fighters, and three aircraft carrier battle groups he received, could Hussein be able to catch it?
It doesn’t matter if there are so many in a year. As long as the Third Brother Gift Pack continues to exist, there will be so many every year!
"Arjun" MK2 main battle tank VS "Karal" main battle tank, the latter may be able to surpass the former in terms of accuracy rate.
"Tejas" light fighter + "Jaguar" attack aircraft + MiG-27 attack aircraft VS "Kosar" (F-5 improved version), the French Air Force has a clear advantage.
Not to mention the navy, the combat effectiveness of the 1,400-ton "Jamalan" class destroyer is equivalent to the third brother's "Camorta" class light frigate.
Even the "Shrevank" class frigates can easily crush it, let alone the P15B "Vishakapatnam" class destroyers and P15A "Kolkata" class destroyers equipped with phased array radars.
Louis XIV could also obtain the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier equipped with "Rafale" fighter jets, and he could obtain three ships every year, forming an overwhelming advantage over the Persian Navy.
Even if the Persian army did not open a battlefield on the Western Front, it would be difficult to win in a duel with France...
