Less than a month after the war began, the Inca expeditionary force arrived at the battlefield in southeastern Persia.
Unlike Zheng Chenggong, Poirot not only dispatched a fleet, but also mobilized a sizable ground force.
Zheng Chenggong has obtained new territory, and he also wants to suppress and kill the indigenous tribes in various places who are ready to move, and is busy fighting a public security war.
Therefore, no ground troops were sent to participate in military operations against Persia. The situation in the Inca Empire was different.
The Incas themselves were indigenous to South America and constituted the majority of the local population.
For Poirot, white people were the ones to be wary of.
After dealing with the spree that appeared in the La Plata area, most of the Inca Empire was restored to its original state.
The Inca army could only focus on attacking stolen goods, and there were only a handful of operations that could truly train the team.
There are only three countries in South America, apart from the Inca, they are the Ming Empire and the Netherlands.
The Ming Empire was an ally of the Inca Empire, and the Dutch territory in South America was very small, which meant that the military threat from the outside was almost zero.
If Poirot wanted to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Inca army, he could only send troops to overseas expeditions, just like the previous expeditions with the Ming army.
This is also a helpless move, because when there is no battle to fight for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the Inca army will continue to decline...
This time Poirot dispatched an expeditionary force consisting of one special operations brigade, three marine brigades, and six infantry brigades. The scale was not small.
If necessary, you can double or even double the number of troops. This is much better than staying home and waiting to die.
The expeditionary force's salaries and weapons were borne by the Incas, and part of the ammunition, food, medicine and other supplies required were provided by the Ming Empire.
For example, the Ming Empire can openly supply 9mm bullets, 5.56mm bullets, 7.62mm bullets, and 155mm artillery shells.
Through the actual combat of this battle, the Inca army was able to examine whether the many light weapons and supporting ammunition provided by allies were in line with their own usage habits.
Poirot can summon the FN-MAG 7.62mm general-purpose machine gun, FAL assault rifle (7.62*51mm full-power bullets), FAR-83A assault rifle (5.56*45mm bullets), and FMK-3 submachine gun (outline) through the Argentina gift package Similar to Uzi), short muskets are small weapons such as "Thunder"-9 type.
But without an ammunition production line, these guns would turn into fire sticks after a hundred or ten rounds of ammunition.
Even if there are enough bullets, if some parts of the gun are damaged, it can only be disassembled from other guns of the same model.
It is better to introduce a complete set of advanced firearms and ammunition production lines from the Ming Empire, and then you can sit back and relax...
For Jiexuan, it didn't matter whether the Inca expeditionary force came or not. What was important was that the arrival of the Inca fleet did increase its ability to block the waters east of the outlet of the Persian Gulf.
The addition of the French navy meant that the Persian navy lost the ability to continue fighting in the northern waters of the Arabian Sea.
The average combat effectiveness of the Inca Expeditionary Force was inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty Marine Corps, and only the special operations brigade had a combat effectiveness higher than our own.
But there is no big problem for the ten brigades to defend the coastal cities that have been captured. With their own fleet on their back, they are not afraid of a massive counterattack by the Persian army.
Jiexuan actually hopes to see the other party launch a large-scale counterattack, which can reduce the chance of his own ground troops fighting deep into the hinterland and shorten the length of his own supply lines.
Both parties were old acquaintances, and Poirot was very confident in handing over the command of the Inca Expedition to Jiexuan, who was a world-famous victorious general.
Instead of worrying about the expeditionary force being severely damaged, it is better to think about how to make Jiexuan lose the battle...
This ever-victorious general defeated the Spaniards, Portuguese, British, Danes, Neapolitans, and Romans, and without exception, they were all defeated by him.
At sea and along the coast, few can defeat Jiexuan, and with their fleet, their chances of taking advantage are slim.
The first goal of the Ming Navy has been completed, which is to defeat the Persian Navy's spirit, blockade the Strait of Hormuz, and lock the opponent in the big fish tank of the Persian Gulf.
After that, it’s time to catch the turtle in the urn, but this turtle still has a certain fighting capacity and will not surrender easily. It has to be beaten hard before it can be obtained.
Hussein judged that Zhu Cihong had invested at least fifty brigades in the Afghan battlefield, and sent at least twenty more brigades to attack the northeastern part of the mainland.
There are ten brigades of Persian garrison in Afghanistan, and Hussein mobilized another sixty brigades of indigenous troops, which should be able to delay the Ming army's attack.
There are three lines of defense in the northeast of the mainland, and the garrison strength reaches 65 brigades. They are stronger than the opponent in terms of firepower and troops, and they can also receive continuous reinforcements.
In the southeastern coastal area, the Ming army mainly relied on about ten brigades of marines, and not many troops were invested in secondary battlefields. However, the opponent's large fleet did give Hussein a headache.
The Persian Navy had previously launched a large-scale attack. The Navy believed that it had sunk at least two aircraft carriers, one battleship, four cruisers, 15 destroyers, 24 frigates, and more than 100 merchant ships.
Judging from the reported results, it should be considered a brilliant victory and fully worthy of commendation.
But instead of retreating, the other side pounced directly on the coastline of southeastern Persia and carried out a large-scale landing.
This shows that there are two possibilities, either the battle report is false, and the opponent did not suffer serious damage at all.
Or the results of the battle are not enough to stop the enemy fleet from landing, and it does not affect the opponent's continued attack at all.
Hussein was more willing to believe the latter, because the Ming Empire controlled global sea power and was a veritable maritime hegemon.
As the southeastern coastal areas gradually fell, Hussein also realized Zhu Cihong's true strength.
What the other party said before about getting four big gift packages should be true and he was not deceiving himself.
He only has one big gift package, and more importantly, the basic strength of the two sides is very different.
Calculated in terms of national strength, the Ming Empire's national strength was almost ten times that of the Persian Kingdom.
Even if the difference between the two sides is four times, adding Shiren and King David, he doesn't seem to have much chance of winning against Zhu Cihong, Ibrahim, and Louis XIV.
He had taken Shi Ren in before, but in the end, this guy really tricked him. Instead of helping him resist the Ming army, he went directly to King David.
The northwest of the mainland is now being attacked by the Ottoman army. The other side has invested about fifteen brigades and is equipped with thousands of main battle tanks.
Although the Israeli army invaded the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Ottoman Empire had great strategic depth and could not be destroyed in a short time.
The two sides are desperately fighting for the strategic town of Kayseri and surrounding areas. The total number of troops participating in the battle exceeds 100,000, which is considered a large-scale battle.
As the counter-offensive side, the Ottoman Empire successively invested 30 brigades, more than 3,000 main battle tanks and more than 5,000 combat aircraft.
Almost all of the weapons and troops Ibrahim summoned from the four gift packages were used to retake the strategic town of Kayseri.
Under the attack of the Ottoman navy, the Israeli navy had ceased to exist in name only, and naturally it was unable to hold on to Jerusalem.
As a last resort, David could only deploy his troops inland to avoid the powerful Ottoman fleet.
The territory of the State of Israel then became Kayseri in the north, Sana'a in the south, and Baghdad in the east.
It seems not small, but it is actually smaller than the previous peak, because the Sinai Peninsula was retaken by the Austrian army.
The Israeli Navy's ships are completely unable to move in the Red Sea and the eastern Mediterranean, and can only stay in the Persian Gulf.
This bay has become the place with the largest number of ships per unit area of water in the world. Including Shiren and Hussein's section, the total number exceeds 3,000.
If it weren't for such a bay, Israel would be almost a landlocked country.
When the naval strength is inferior to that of the enemy, expanding the living space inland becomes the only option.
The southward expansion to Sana'a is already considered the limit. Going further south will be on the verge of the Indian Ocean and will be attacked by Ottoman ships.
To the east is the Tigris River, which is the dividing line with the Kingdom of Persia. The other party is our only ally. At this time, we cannot make stupid mistakes due to territorial disputes.
In fact, it was thanks to the ambitious Hussein who coveted the French and Ottoman lands that Persia and Israel came together and were able to fight side by side.
As long as Hussein was willing to continue to deal with Ibrahim, David was even willing to give up the two river basins he had already occupied to him.
Once it loses this ally, Israel will have to challenge the Ottomans alone. This is a result that David is unwilling to accept.
Although our weapons have excellent performance and our soldiers are brave and good at fighting, it still feels extremely difficult to face the enemy's superior strength.
Taking the Kayseri battlefield as an example, the Austrian army's strength was almost three times that of our own, and the proportion of technical weapons invested was also the same, which is why our own side fought so hard.
Judging from the captured trophies, the performance of the opponent's main battle tank is slightly inferior to that of the "Merkava"-4, but there is no obvious generation gap. Two or three guns can still destroy the latter.
The electronic equipment of the "Lynx" tracked infantry fighting vehicle is even better than that of our own "Tiger" infantry fighting vehicle. Our own side only has an absolute advantage in many air defense systems.
It was precisely with this advantage that they were able to hold on to Kayseri and prevent the Ottoman army from capturing the city in one fell swoop.
David's goal was to capture the Asia Minor peninsula and make it the hinterland of Israel.
The Arabian Peninsula previously conquered was a desert terrain, making it impossible to grow crops.
Even if there is an oil field, you have to sell oil or refined oil to buy food.
However, the Ming Empire has made it clear that it will not import oil and refined oil products from Israel, which means it cannot be realized.
The oil can only be used to supply the troops, but Shiren can just sit back and enjoy the harvest when he comes...
David couldn't refuse the other party, otherwise he would have another enemy.
Shiren would not waste his time and sent a mechanized infantry brigade northward to assist in the battle.
Although there is only one brigade, Shiren promised to provide one mechanized brigade every month in the future.
That's twelve brigades a year, equivalent to the strength of four armies, which can indeed contain some of the Austrian army's strength.
The longer Shiren lived, the more troops he provided, especially naval ships, which David desperately needed.
But there is a problem, that is, the Persian Gulf is too small for the Japanese fleet to deploy at all, and the target is too large to be concealed.
Shiren promised that his fleet would help David and fight the Ottoman fleet, but it would take half a year. Only in this way could he accumulate enough warships.
This is the upper limit of the time for the gift package to be stocked. By then, the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group with twenty-four light aircraft carriers as the core can completely destroy the Ottoman fleet in the Mediterranean.
The premise is that David's army cannot be wiped out by the Austrian army. This is not a problem. Israel can survive for half a year, until the Japanese fleet appears.
But another idea came to David's mind. Instead of waiting for others to summon the fleet, why not do it himself and experience it personally?
Through intelligence, we learned that as long as someone with the ability to summon is killed, his or her ability will be acquired by the person who kills him.
Previously, there were only himself and Hussein in the Middle East, so Shiren's arrival was completely redundant.
If that's the case, then...
The Arrow-3 anti-aircraft missile with a range of 250 kilometers can be used to do this, and it should do it very well.
It depends on how much contribution Shiren can make to himself and what his military strength is.
If the target's air defense capability exceeds his own strike capability, David will continue to cooperate with it.
Compared with the relationship with Shiren, the irreconcilable issue was the territorial dispute with the Ottomans.
Israel was born in Jerusalem, which was considered a holy city throughout the Ottoman Empire.
Everyone knows what happened later. If Ottoman wanted to regain his homeland, it meant that the Israelis would have to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
With the Ming Empire not participating in the war, David believed that his army should be able to withstand the Austrian counterattack.
Of course, Hussein, the brainless guy, took the initiative to provoke France and the Ming Empire, which was something he did not expect at all.
Now, instead of being able to help contain some of the Austrian troops, they have to devote most of their forces to the battlefields in the other three directions.
Unless God can really protect Hussein, the Ming Empire alone will not be something that Persia can withstand.
Hussein does have some capital, but it is limited to the Middle East. He may be barely able to deal with Ibrahim.
In front of the huge Ming Empire, David didn't know how long he could survive...
The longer it lasts, the better it is of course for oneself, but no one believes that Persia can fight a seven or eight-year war with the Ming Empire.
What does it feel like to fight one against ten?
That's it now!
When Hussein sent troops to the western region of French India, David felt that something was wrong.
The subsequent development exceeded his imagination. It was not enough to defeat France alone, but also the Ming Empire.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't make peace with Ibrahim, David would have immediately stopped cooperating with this mentally retarded ally.
Israel only needs a certain living space and will not really challenge the world hegemon. This is obviously committing suicide!
The emperor of the Ming Empire has stated that he will not intervene in the war between the Ottomans and Israel. This is a blessing in misfortune.
Just let Hussein bear the responsibility for the misfortune alone.
War is a game of comparing who is stupider. It is obvious that Hussein has taken the initiative to win the championship...
