David deployed five brigades in the Kayseri area on the northern front, and one brigade each in Aleppo, Homs, Damascus, Amman, and Lamu Mountain in the rear.
In addition to ensuring that the front can withstand the Austrian counterattack and maintain the supply line, it can also protect the security of the Mediterranean side of the Western Front.
Jerusalem, Tabuk, Mosul, Kuwait, Medina, Mecca, Doha, Sana'a, Dubai, and Muscat have all deployed a brigade, while other places have only battalions and combat units.
David's main force, namely three armored brigades and three infantry brigades, were placed in the area north of the Nedev Desert and used as mobile units to support the battlefield in four directions at any time.
Most of the newly summoned troops and weapons were used to reinforce the Kayseri battlefield in the north. If the north failed, the Ottoman army could move south.
In contrast, Hussein only deployed about ten brigades of troops in northwest Persia and the newly occupied territory, and the unit combat effectiveness was weaker than that of the Israeli army.
This means that the Israeli army has to resist most of the Austrian army. It is impossible for David to have no idea about this.
If Hussein took the initiative to provoke France and the Ming Empire, at least the situation on the battlefield in the Middle East would still be beneficial to his side.
Now, while David is commanding the battle, he also needs to communicate with Zhu Cixiang, hoping to find a way to survive.
It turns out that by joining forces with Hussein, Israel and Persia formed an alliance to deal with the Ottomans. If the Ming Empire did not intervene, they should not lose.
But things are different now. Hussein first sent troops to occupy French India, and then fell out with the Ming Empire. This was tantamount to offending two countries that must not be offended.
Finally, even the Inca Empire sent troops to join the war, and the Ottoman Empire suddenly had three more helpers.
Even if our side has a new ally, Shi Ren, there is not much chance of winning.
David even believed that the probability of his side winning would not exceed one percent...
The main reason is that I really can't figure out how to win, unless there are earthquakes or epidemics in three of the four countries, and the Ming Empire must be among them.
Otherwise, with the national strength of the Ming Empire, it would be enough to take down our own side by going into battle.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Israeli army could only maintain its inland defense line in a single fight against the Austrian army.
The navy of the Ming Empire was much larger than the Austrian fleet and could carry out landing operations at any location.
Its army can deploy hundreds of brigades of ground troops at a time, and its air force can dispatch tens of thousands of combat aircraft.
If we use the Ottoman military strength as a measure, the Ming army is equal to four or five times the Austrian army, which the Israeli army will never be able to withstand.
Specifically speaking, it is equivalent to the four directions of east, south, west and north. The Ming army will dispatch 25 to 30 brigades of ground troops. How will the Israeli army resist?
When the Ming army takes care of Hussein, he will be in trouble, so he might as well prepare early, even if he doesn't want such a mentally retarded ally.
"It was not easy to solve this matter before, but Hussein himself chose a path of no return, which will be very helpful to you."
Zhu Cihong believes that there are two main differences between Ibrahim and David. One is the big gift package from the latter, and the other is the land issue.
If Hussein doesn't fall out with him, there will be no way to solve David's matter.
Now, there is someone who can reimburse the bills.
The gift package that Ibrahim wants can be provided by Hussein.
The land David wanted could also be provided by Hussein.
If the Jews could establish a country in Persia, wouldn't the problem be solved?
The premise is that David must cease hostilities with the Ottomans, cancel the alliance with Persia, and hand over Shiren, or provide the approximate location of his activities.
"...Okay, I will seriously consider it, but it will take time!"
David didn't know whether this was Zhu Cixiang's sincerity or a deliberate trap, but in the absence of other allies, he could only treat it with caution. If he made a wrong step, he might be doomed.
"No problem. The longer you think about it, the more passive I will become towards you."
Zhu Cixiang didn't talk nonsense, which was a waste of each other's time, as if he was asking for something from him.
At present, the Ming Empire has the largest conventional military force in the world, as well as the world's only nuclear strike force and satellite reconnaissance and positioning system.
With plenty of money and food, as well as the support of four gift packages from Britain, Spain, Russia, and India, Zhu Cixiang was not afraid of the small gang of David, Shiren, and Hussein at all.
Even without the help of Ibrahim, Louis XIV, Poirot and others, the Ming Empire had a very good chance of winning against this small gang alone.
If you can't win by conventional means, just use nuclear weapons!
David has a land-based anti-missile system, Shiren has a sea-based anti-missile system, and Hussein's ability in anti-missile is close to zero.
First use nuclear weapons to eliminate Hussein, then kill Shiren's fleet, then you can eliminate the Japanese army, and finally take care of Israel.
Zhu Cihong still hasn't figured out where Hussein's mysterious self-confidence came from. He thought that if a big gift bag fell into his mouth, he could challenge the Ming Empire and France at the same time?
Even Shi Ren and David combined wouldn't dare to do this, right?
After Hussein ascended the throne, he announced that the Kingdom of Persia would be renamed the Persian Empire!
Obviously, this was driven by ambition and he planned to commit suicide to the end.
Emperor Haojing wants to see how long this seemingly powerful Persian empire can last...
After analyzing the trophies seized so far and the intelligence he has obtained, Zhu Cixiang believes that Hussein most likely only has one big gift package.
Therefore, his mysterious self-confidence made the emperor feel even more incredible, and it made no sense logically.
Did he think that he was deliberately deceiving him by saying he had four gift packages?
Zhu Cixiang always spoke with strength. If he couldn't buy the other party with financial resources, he would use military power to bury the other party alive!
A big gift package can make him take the initiative to kill himself, which shows that this guy's IQ is as good as that of a certain scapegoat!
People are different, and their ideas may be even more different than the people themselves.
Since Hussein is stubborn, let him be helped.
Poirot sent his lackeys to gain experience as always, and as an old friend, Zhu Cixiong welcomed him as always.
As long as the other party transports the soldiers back, it will be fine. Daming can provide weapons, ammunition, food, medicine, military uniforms, and uniforms.
Although the southern battlefield of Persia was far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, it was adjacent to French India. Louis XIV was able to take advantage of the opportunity to export shiploads of grain.
Because previous nuclear strikes detonated a series of volcanoes, a large number of volcanoes erupted, causing a collision at the junction of the Pacific Plate, the Eurasian Plate and the Australian Plate.
Tens of billions of tons of volcanic ash flowed through the atmosphere to East Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia and other places. The weather was abnormal and the temperature dropped, causing a significant reduction in local crop production.
French India and Dutch India were not greatly affected for the time being, and instead became good places. The former was rich in wheat and the latter produced rice.
The world is cooling down. Summer temperatures in India used to be as high as 40 to 50 degrees. This year, the spring temperature in southern India is only over 10 degrees, and the summer temperature is not expected to exceed 40 degrees.
This kind of cooling is very beneficial to local farmers and crops. If the temperature does not continue to drop, food can still be harvested three times a year.
With the outbreak of the Persian War, the entire Indian region became the main procurement location for the Ming army.
Large orders were crucial to restoring the economy of French India, and Louis XIV could also obtain many high-end goods that could not be made in France.
The Netherlands was one of the countries that profited the most from this world war. Dutch India was not affected by the war at all, and it also received a large number of orders.
Commodities including tea, tobacco, refined salt, sugar, grain, canned goods, biscuits, etc. were all shipped in batches to many ports in the Ming Empire.
These goods did not need to be imported in large quantities, and the Americas could meet the needs of the entire empire.
But after a setback in South America, chaos in Africa, and sudden changes in the global climate.
Emperor Haojing had to take precautions, and while continuing to consume bulk consumer goods from overseas territories, he also imported large quantities of these things from other countries.
Even if the prices of these things increase significantly, Zhu Cixiang can accept it. On the contrary, exported goods, such as luxury cars, high-end machinery, CNC lathes, and electronic equipment, are all priced at a substantial premium.
The greater the export volume of these gadgets, the greater the difference the Ming Empire will earn, which can completely cover the premium of imported commodities, and there will still be a lot of surplus.
No matter in any era, even if zombies appear, it will not stop the upper class from enjoying life, eating, drinking and having fun, let alone the rich in countries that are not involved in the war.
Compared with before the war, the total trade volume between the Ming Empire and the Netherlands had doubled, exceeding half of France's total trade volume.
In order to buy brand new luxury cars as soon as possible, many Dutch businessmen rushed to Anzhou, which is obviously Annan, to pick up the goods.
A certain emperor ordered advertisements for new luxury cars to be placed on Dutch television and 4S stores were established in major cities in the Netherlands.
However, Dutch customers can only place orders in 4S stores and cannot get ready goods, because wealthy people all over the world want to take delivery of their cars as soon as possible.
Generally, Dutch users have to wait for more than a year, eighteen to twenty-four months to be precise, before they can get their own luxury car.
It is easy to buy a car immediately. You have to come to Anzhou, buy a luxury car in Anzhou, and then drive it back to the Netherlands.
Since vehicles with Ming Empire license plates can also enter the Netherlands, this trick is very easy to use.
You can go to a nearby 4S store for daily repairs and maintenance, which will not delay users at all.
The only drawback is that it needs to be driven back, and the price needs to be increased by 50% when purchasing.
Of course, you can transport it into the Netherlands from Anzhou, but this is considered an import and you have to wait in line before you can pick up the car.
The process of importing cars in the Netherlands is distributed by the general agent to dealers in various places, and customers can only pick up the car at the dealer's store.
The problem is that for new luxury cars, such as Genesis G90, Hyundai MPV Cruiser, Kia large SUV Jiahua and other luxury cars, even the general agent has to wait for the car to arrive. How can ordinary customers mention the car?
The Netherlands, France, Inca, Ottoman and other countries are all listed as first-class suppliers by manufacturers and can enjoy simultaneous supply, but the distribution ratios are very different.
The two die-hard allies, the Ottomans and the Inca, were rich themselves and could provide spot transactions. They were not allowed to use loans at all. Their distribution ratio was very high, each accounting for 20%.
Excluding the overseas territories of the Ming Empire and Fujian, France accounts for 10% and the Netherlands only accounts for 3%. They can only receive about 100,000 vehicles per year, which is slightly higher than Venice and Sweden.
The premise is that all new luxury cars are temporarily not available for loans to overseas users and must be purchased in full. Fortunately, they can be bartered.
Barter is the favorite trading method of wealthy countries. They have plenty of resources. If they trade with barter, they can even omit the process of exchanging cash.
In order to improve efficiency, as long as the buyer can ship goods of equal value after passing the inspection, or present a supply receipt of equal value, a luxury car can be driven away from the port immediately.
Therefore, the Ottoman Empire and the Inca Empire, which had always maintained good relations with the Ming Empire and had huge bilateral trade volume, took advantage at this time.
After destroying the enemy fleet crossing the Atlantic, these two countries quickly obtained a large number of new luxury cars.
For many rich people, as long as they can afford good things in the world and the other party is willing to sell them, they must buy them.
One day late will make you feel itchy, especially after watching TV commercials or even test-driving a new luxury car, which makes you even more impatient.
Generally speaking, the overseas missions of the Ming Empire were the first to exchange cars. The ambassadors or consuls would introduce the new cars to the local tycoons through social activities.
Zhu Cixiang believes that there is no need to worry about selling new cars. The important thing is to let friends who have long-term cooperation with the Ming Empire know that when there is a good thing, they will be the first to think of them...
With these people providing strategic resources to the Ming Empire, the troops fighting on the front line did not need to worry about supplies.
In addition to biscuits, cans, and snacks, ordinary soldiers can also eat instant noodles, rice bowls, and instant hot pot.
After eating and drinking, it becomes easier to deal with the other party.
The defenders in northeastern Persia are supplied with tens of thousands of large-caliber artillery shells and rockets every day. Two of the three lines of defense have been destroyed, and they can only hold on to the last one.
The minefields deployed previously did not have much effect. Under the sweep of cluster bombs, all minefields have turned into the surface of the moon.
Each Ming army tank leading the way was equipped with mine-sweeping rollers, making it difficult for the anti-tank mines laid by the Persian defenders to destroy the target.
The trenches and firepower points they relied on had been almost destroyed by the Ming army's artillery fire. When the Ming army's ground troops launched an attack, the defenders had to retreat to the rear.
It's not that most of the defenders dare not fight, but that the objective conditions for counterattack are no longer met.
If you hold on to your position, you will suffer a lot of losses in personnel and technical weapons, and those who survive will be unable to repel the invading enemy.
Anti-aircraft missiles can be used against tanks, but they have been almost exhausted in the previous high-intensity blocking.
The Ming army can launch thousands of missiles a day, and can maintain this attack intensity for a long time.
For the Persian defenders, this would definitely be too much. They have never played like this before, because their strength does not allow it...
After receiving the report from the front line, Hussein had to order the defenders of the first and second lines of defense to retreat and be sure to defend the third line of defense.
This is his bottom line. All ministries must ensure that their personnel are present, and armored forces will also help the infantry to counterattack.
