The 30 troops of the Persian Empire arrived near Kandahar, and Sun Chengzong, the governor of the South Camp, was leading his troops to confront them. The two sides had not yet exchanged fire.

The Ottoman Empire also assembled an army of 30 and rushed to the west bank of the Ural River, but there was no sign of attacking the Ural River defense line.

Tsarist Russian scouts frequently appeared on the outskirts of the Ural Mountains defense line, and the signs of sending troops were already very obvious.

The ice and snow in Xiber Province have not yet melted, but reports from the Western Front continue to come.

Obviously, the Continental Union is determined to go to war with Daming.

Taichang is not in a hurry, because the new weapons and equipment have already been transported to the western front by railway, and the combat power of the southern camp, western camp, and northern camp is already quite terrifying, and the enemy's troops cannot shake the defense of the western front.

Moreover, the more than 200 million mercenaries led by Wallenstein have not yet appeared, and it is estimated that the war on the Western Front will not begin until the end of the ice-bound period there.

At this time, his focus was on the Eastern Front, because British pirate ships could appear on the east coast of North America at any time. In the vast sea, these guys were the most difficult to guard against.

However, the countries of the European Continental Union do not seem to be very active.

For example, in the Ottoman Empire, everyone rushed to the Ural River defense line, but they didn't do anything.

Another example is Tsarist Russia. It seems that the ice and snow will not send troops until they melt.

There is also the United Kingdom, which is even more thieves. More than a month has passed, and there is still no movement from them.

Of course, this is a good thing, the slower people move, the more time Daming has to prepare.

There was no movement at all from the British side, but the first batch of reinforcements from Da Ming's side had already arrived in America.

120 Feilong warships were slowly docking at the port terminal of the capital city of Western Yin, but Taichang, Sun Chuanting, Nan Juyi, Ma Xianglin and others were already standing under the huge flagship and waiting.

This batch of flying dragon warships was built by the Wubei City Shipyard last year, because the war had not yet started at that time, and Taichang was not in a hurry to transfer these flying dragon warships.

Right now there was a shortage of warships here, so Taichang naturally transferred these flying dragon warships without hesitation.

As soon as a Flying Dragon warship landed on the pier opposite the flagship, the three generals, Sun Zushou, Zu Dale and Zhang Cunren, joined hands, walked up to Taichang, bowed their hands and said: "The last general will see the emperor."

These experienced generals were all recruited by him to lead the army. If Ma Xianglin, Qin Yiming, and Qin Gongming who were here before were added, there would be six generals, and the commanders of the six armies would all be alive.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said kindly: "Zushou, Dale, and Cunren, you've worked hard all the way, why don't you take a break?"

Sun Zushou hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we only slept and watched the scenery along the way. We should rest early. Now we just want to lead the army to fight."

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "There is no rush, since you are not tired, then come with me on the boat, and I will tell you about the specific arrangements in the future."

Hearing this, the generals hurriedly followed Taichang to the flagship.

Soon, everyone came to the meeting room.

After Taichang kindly invited everyone to sit down, he pointed to the map and introduced: "Zushou, Dale, Cunren, you see, this is the current garrison area of ​​the West African Empire, and this is the current garrison area of ​​the East African Empire.

This time your task is to go with Xianglin to command the 200 million troops of the West African Empire and the East African Empire.

I will assign you 20 elites from the Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion, and each of you will command 50 elites from the Shenji Battalion and [-] Black Gods.

If you need to siege the city, you should first destroy other people's city artillery, and then let the soldiers of the Black God Army charge up to minimize casualties. "

When the generals heard the words, they nodded quickly and said: "The general understands."

Taichang nodded slightly, and continued: "The output of the Ministry of Industry's various new weapons is not clear in the telegram. Did this Marquis Meng tell you in detail?"

Sun Zushou quickly introduced: "Your Majesty, when we set off, the Ministry of Industry was recruiting craftsmen, and the production of various new weapons was constantly increasing, and we didn't know exactly what level it would eventually reach.

When we came over, Master Bi said that the output of Daizi rifles is almost [-] a month, the output of rockets is almost [-] a month, and the output of flamethrowers is almost [-] sets a month.

The output of light infantry fighting vehicles and helicopters is a little lower. At the moment, the Ministry of Industry can only produce [-] light infantry fighting vehicles and less than [-] helicopters per month.

As for the hot air balloon, Mr. Bi said that it was too troublesome to take off and land, so he didn't build it. Anyway, it would be better to use a helicopter. "

Taichang nodded slightly, and then introduced the specific tactics to the generals.

The four generals took a day's rest in the capital of Western Yin and rushed to Africa with their personal guards on [-] dragon battleships, while the remaining [-] dragon battleships Taichang were also dispatched to the east coast of North America.

This time, the number of warships on the east coast of North America has reached 350. If the twelve Spike warships carried by each Aegis ship are added, the number of warships exceeds [-].

If the British pirate ship rushed over at this time, it would be considered good if half of it escaped.

It's a pity that the British didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. They waited for another month, but there was still no movement.

At this time, the second batch of support from Daming mainland arrived again.

The huge fleet composed of five dreadnoughts, two hundred Aegis ships, and one thousand armed merchant ships almost overwhelmed the port of the capital of Western Yin.

This time it wasn't just warships, the Ministry of Industry also sent over [-] Dai Zi rifles, hundreds of light tanks and more than a dozen helicopters.

Taichang was staring at the steel-fortress-like helicopter in the distance and thinking about something, but Cheng Jiashuo ran down from the Aegis ship excitedly, bowed his hands and said: "My minister sees the emperor."

How did this guy get here?

Taichang was quite surprised and said: "Yaoguang, you don't stay in the research institute to do research, what are you doing here?"

Cheng Jiashuo quickly explained: "Didn't Master Xu and Master Bi want someone to lead the team here? Weichen felt that doing research in the research institute is better than going to the field to listen to the emperor's teachings, so he recommended himself and led the team here."

You, a servant of the Ministry of Commerce, are not generals, and you even volunteered to bring such a huge fleet over here. You are really recommending yourself!

However, the research on this aircraft is indeed a bit difficult. Because Cheng Jiashuo has no knowledge of the next few hundred years, it is not easy to make breakthrough progress.

This guy is right. People have been researching for months or even years, but he hasn't made any suggestions.

Taichang shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Okay, then you can help me by my side, but I don't have time to discuss the development of the aircraft with you right now. When the time comes, the war will start. Let's see the actual situation. Let's talk about the effect."

With these two hundred Aegis ships and [-] Spike warships, the number of ships on the east coast of North America will reach about [-].

If the British fleet came here for a sneak attack at this time, it is estimated that even a ship would not be able to escape.

The question is, they are all ready, why are the British still not moving at all?
In fact, the British don't want to be this early bird.

Because the Persian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Tsarist Russia have all sent troops, but none of them have done anything.

Wallenstein has been writing there all the time, saying that the weather is too cold, there are too few weapons and equipment, and there are not enough tents, and the ice and snow must completely melt before sending troops.

People are wasting time, waiting for others to make the first move, and the British will naturally not be the first bird.

Everyone knows that whoever strikes first will become the key target of the Ming Empire. Who would be so stupid as to insist on running up and getting beaten up first?

At this time, the Duke of Richelieu couldn't sit still, because he still had a plan for the next step.

If these guys don't start fighting, he won't be able to carry out his next plan.

In the French royal palace, Duke Richelieu and Queen Anna sat opposite each other, both of them were a little sad.

Others can't help it, so what should I do?

Queen Anna frowned and pondered for a while, then sighed slightly: "Your Excellency, they didn't listen to you and went to fight against the Ming Empire. Are we going to keep grinding like this?"

The Duke of Richelieu said helplessly: "They should also know the current situation. It will not benefit everyone if they continue to grind. I believe they won't grind for a long time."

Queen Anna still frowned and said, "Are you just counting on these people?
Let’s not talk about the British, let them rob things, can you expect Wallenstein to fight the Ming Empire desperately?
Your Excellency the Duke, you should have something to back up, right?

If you don't have a backup, we're done.

If this continues, can we still hope to defeat the Ming Empire? "

Of course there is a backhand.

The problem is, if these guys don't come in, he can't come out behind!

Duke Richelieu hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, we must not let others know about this backhand.

If others find out, they will definitely scold the sky. "

Are you still afraid of being scolded?

Queen Anna couldn't wait to say: "What kind of backhand are you preparing, you tell me!"

The Duke of Richelieu could only helplessly say: "Britain, Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Bohemia are all cannon fodder. As long as they attract all of Ming's army and navy, we can gather our troops to grab resources in South America." up.

You should also know that South America has the most rubber and copper. As long as we can grab a few thousand ships, we will not worry about the development of materials.

And these cannon fodder will definitely not be defeated immediately, they should have no problem persisting for a few years.

In the past few years, we have used the materials we robbed to build warships like crazy! "

So you, an old fox, had this idea!

Queen Anna was quite puzzled: "How can we go to South America to grab supplies, relying on the three hundred iron-clad warships in Spain?

How much can three hundred ironclad battleships bring back?
Besides, everyone has secret weapons against ironclad battleships, and three hundred ironclad battleships may not be able to win a South American stronghold! "

The Duke of Richelieu could only confess: "Didn't we give up Corsica to the Dutch? They still have more than 4000 ships, and they have all been transformed into ships.

As long as the British attack and lead the navy of the Ming Empire to North America, we can grab thousands of ships in one trip! "

It turns out that the Dutch ships have all been remodeled!
Queen Anna heard this, thought carefully, and frowned again: "There is another question, how can we avoid the sight of the Ming Empire when we attack with such a huge fleet?

Now south of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands are under the control of the Ming Empire. Will we not be discovered by others when we go to South America? "

The Duke of Richelieu shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, Moritz and Hendrick both know the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and we have no problem going around it."

Well, since the Dutch can escape from South Africa, they must be able to avoid the south of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands.

Queen Anna nodded slightly, and then asked, "Then when are you going to act?"

The Duke of Richelieu said without hesitation: "Of course the British will go after us."

Queen Anna thought about it carefully, and then suggested: "Why don't you ask Prince Hendrick to lead the [-] Spanish ironclad warships to explore the channel first.

We pretended to tell the British that these [-] ironclad battleships were going to South America to help them attract firepower. As long as we set off, the British would probably follow and attack. "

This woman is amazing!

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Richelieu nodded and said: "This is a good idea, then please ask the Queen to go down and talk to His Majesty King Felipe IV, and I will immediately send someone to notify Prince Hendrick to go to Spain to meet Ironclad battleships converge.

By the way, Your Royal Highness, this matter must be kept secret, and not too many people know about it. If it spreads to other countries, it will be no wonder that they don't scold us to death. "

Queen Anna nodded, and said calmly: "Of course I know about this. Don't worry, the news will not be leaked."
