The technology gap cannot be changed in a short while. In addition to allowing the Academy of Sciences to speed up the research of new submarines and sonars, they can only try to avoid shipping as much as possible. Therefore, in addition to too important materials, they began to help countries in the Western Continent.

The factory was expanded to make the expeditionary army's materials resolved on the spot. The Strait of Gibraltar, which is the entrance to the Mediterranean, was completely blocked with mines and anti-submarine networks to prevent NATO from using ports in the Mediterranean to replenish submarines.

The patrol efforts of aircraft and ships on the sea have also been greatly strengthened to minimize the interference of submarines and allow food from the Southern Subcontinent to be safely transported to the Western Continent. In addition, the Boston Empire also used the strange transportation method I had thought of before.

, that is to use airships to transport.

The airship is very fragile in front of the plane, but it also has the characteristics of large transportation volume, long air stagnation time, and low freight. It is still very useful in the Northern Storm Ocean, which completely controls air supremacy. Previously, referring to the airship style of the Chinese Empire, the Boston Empire was early

We started to manufacture airships in large quantities, and now there are nearly 4,000 reserves in China.

Using these airships with a load capacity of more than 1,000 tons, the Boston Empire could still transport a large amount of supplies to the Western Continent. Although the efficiency of the freighter is a bit low and the impact of the weather has to be considered, it is safe enough.

Of course, these measures are all curative but not the root cause. The Boston Imperial Military is very clear that the best way to alleviate this situation is to rely on the fully mobilized army to defeat the Imperial Army as soon as possible and win this war. Only in this way can we

Completely get rid of the huge threat from the opponent's submarines. In order to achieve this military goal, the Axis powers mobilized nearly 20 million troops, 130,000 combat vehicles and personnel carriers, nearly 200,000 artillery and more than 30,000 aircraft of various types.

.

This huge army is unprecedented. It has an absolute advantage in number. In order to mobilize such a huge military force and equipment, the Axis troops on the battlefield of the Western Continent even postponed the attack date for one and a half months.

Compared with the 20 million troops gathered by the Axis powers, the NATO troops deployed in this direction are only nearly 1.5 million, the Cossacks, the Istanese Empire, and the Imperial Empire have 4 million, and the Imperial Empire has 30,000 at the same time.

There are many combat vehicles and personnel carriers, less than 60,000 artillery pieces and more than 8,000 aircraft of various types. The comparison of strength between the two sides is quite obvious.

Although the Chinese Empire has certain advantages in terms of weapons, due to insufficient personnel, these advantages do not have much room to exert. All this is mainly because NATO countries have conducted a national mobilization late, and most of the reserve troops have not yet been trained, which is also because China

The Empire trained the reserves quite strictly, and it was caused by the fact that everyone needed to train for a year.

In addition, NATO is also at a disadvantage at sea, so the troops of the coastal military regions dare not be transferred, which further exacerbates the strength of NATO countries. However, the Chinese Empire has the largest population and the largest reserve force in the world. If it enters the stage of protracted warfare, then the axis will be

The country will definitely fail.

Both sides were very clear about this situation, so the Axis powers were determined to pour all their troops, hoping to defeat NATO countries in the shortest time and hold the initiative in the war firmly in their own hands. For this reason, the Boston Empire even cut a lot of money

The troops on the battlefield of the New World are closer to being unprepared.

NATO's dilemma is more than this. The St. Martin Empire, Latin Kingdom, and Hava Kingdom joined the Chinese Empire's system earlier. They relied on the copper and gold of the St. Martin Empire, saltpeter and cocoa of the Latin Kingdom, and silver of the Hava Kingdom,

The development of a single economy has made the country more prosperous.

Although these single-economic countries have a fast economic development speed, they have a fatal weakness, which is that they are easily controlled by other countries. Fang Xiaoyu relied on such economic policies to tie them firmly to his own chariot. Now,

These three countries are also completely in the hands of the Chinese Empire.

However, the situation in the Istanish Empire and the Cossack Empire was a bit complicated. Both countries joined late, and because both countries have their own industrial systems, although they are not very strong, they have low economic dependence on the Chinese Empire.

Many, especially the Cossack Empire was once one of the great powers, and its strength should not be underestimated, so they did not rely very much on the Chinese Empire.

In view of this situation, in order not to overstimulate allies, Fang Ruijun planned to wait until the Axis powers attacked before sending troops into their territory for joint operations. The Axis powers' early launch disrupted Fang Ruijun's plan, and at this time it was within the Cossack Empire.

The only troops stationed in the Imperial Chinese Army were the 28th Army and the 29th Army of the National Defense Forces.

They were ordered to stay in their country to help because they helped the Cossack Empire to eliminate the remnants of Russia. The Istan Empire had no Chinese army yet. The situation in the two countries with large troops facing the army was very critical for a time.

Faced with a huge gap in force, the troops of the Ural Military Region's third-level general Gaodeyu and the troops of the Mediterranean Military Region's Gao Hong, together with the first batch of one million reserve troops that had completed training and obtained all equipment, gathered in large numbers near the Cossack Empire and Iran.

In the border areas of the Stan Empire, they planned to enter the territory of the two countries and work with the Allies to resist the attack of the Axis powers.

In addition to these army units, the Chinese Empire is also preparing to dispatch more than 70 wings of air forces. This time the two sides are going to fight a regular battle against each other. The two generals mobilized the troops and sent people to contact the governments of the two countries, hoping that they could

Send troops as soon as possible, but it all takes time.

The main part of the Istanese Empire can delay more time across the Dardanelles, but the Cossack Empire is an endless plain. The task of winning time in this direction can only fall on the 28th National Defense Forces with weak troops.

The army and the twenty-ninth army were on the body.

The Axis Army was divided into three attack arrows. The North Road Group was commanded by Marshal Montgomery of the Sar Empire. This unit was mainly composed of the Sar Empire army. They were responsible for attacking the direction of Paladin along the northern coastline of the Western Continent, and the Paladin Fort.

To support the war between the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg and the Viking Kingdom in the north.

The Central Route Group was commanded by the Five-Star Admiral Howell of the Boston Empire. In addition to the Boston Empire, their troops also had Hungarian and Slovakia. Relying on powerful air force and armored firepower, this troops quickly conquered Brest, targeting

Point directly to Minsk.

The Southern Route Army was commanded by Marshal Charles de Gaulle of the Nantes Empire. Their troops were mainly Nantes Army, and their target was to find Istanbul at the junction of the Western Continent and the Central Continent, which was also the capital of the Istan Empire.

The NATO Alliance's countermeasures are also arranged according to the opponent's troops. The direction of the northern route is handled by the Cossack Empire's army alone. Due to years of war, the Cossack Army's combat effectiveness is still quite considerable. In addition, they have just changed into new equipment, although the number of people is higher than that of the opponent.

But with equipment and experience, he still fought very well in defensive wars, causing considerable trouble to Montgomery's troops. It was just because Yadehai's sea control power was in the hands of the Axis power, in order to prevent the flanks from being attacked by the opponent's amphibious forces,

They adopted the policy of fighting and retreating while tempting the enemy to go deeper, and gradually led the enemy to Paladin Fort.

The Istanish Army was confronted by the Istanish Army. Since the Mediterranean Fleet of the Chinese Empire severely damaged the Axis fleet some time ago, the opponent did not dare to fight in a short period of time. The Istanish Empire also concentrated all fleets to the eastern Mediterranean, so the NATO Alliance fought against

There is still no problem with the control of the Dardanelles.

The security of this maritime transportation line was ensured. A large amount of military supplies were transported to Istanbul. Relying on the permanent fortifications near Istanbul, the Istanese royal family planned to stick to it here. After all, if the capital city can be lost, it will not be lost.

, and Gao Hong was also happy to let them delay time so that their troops could prepare more fully.

The Istanish Army, which defends its country, is indeed very powerful in combat. They made the Nandan Army unable to cross the line, causing major casualties to the other party, and what is most worrying is the direction of the middle lane.

The goal of the middle route is the southern plain of the Cossack Empire. The terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend. Therefore, the Axis Powers regard this place as the main direction of advancement, and have gathered a total of 15 million troops of nearly 500 armies, and adopted a large number of them.

The arrows were interspersed and the air force they covered the sky had more than 250 wings, and their military power was unprecedented in the history of world wars.

Such a powerful Axis army attacked head-on, and the pressure on the National Defense Forces who were preparing to defend Minsk suddenly increased sharply. Faced with the overwhelming force, the commander of the 28th Army, Dong Guizhen, found Song Mingxuan, the commander of the 29th Army, to discuss countermeasures.

"Brother Mingxuan, the disparity in troops is too great. This battle is not easy to fight. How can we face the enemy?" Dong Guicheng frowned and sat there smoking as soon as he entered the door.

Song Mingxuan also nodded with a serious face and said, "Commander Gao wants us to defend here and buy time for the large army, but we only have 100,000 people, but there are more than 100 million people. This gap of more than a hundred times is not easy to fight.

”

Dong Guicheng asked, "Brother Mingxuan, you are Commander Gao's old subordinate. What do you think Commander Gao's idea this time? Can we hold on?"

Song Mingxuan said: "Commander Gao needs time to deploy his position. If we cannot hold the opponent's army for enough time, Commander Gao's troops will be in danger. If our Ural Military Region troops retreat, it may affect His Majesty's layout."

Hearing what Song Mingxuan said so seriously, Dong Guicheng took two puffs of cigarettes, threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground and twisted it hard with his feet and said, "No matter what, the task must be completed, even if we all die.
Chapter completed!
