Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 992

After the French-led coalition joined the war to support the Ottoman Empire, Ming immediately cut off trade with these countries.

In addition, the original Batavia in the Netherlands, Manila in Spain, and Malacca, Lan and other places were successively occupied by Ming, and now their colonies in the Americas were once again occupied by Ming, which quickly exhausted European resources.

Although the war between the two alliances has been going on for three months, neither side has a clear advantage. The Warsaw Pact casualties were around 20, and the French Allied casualties also reached around 30.

Now Ottoman's reserves have also been drawn to the battlefield. With the serious shortage of resources in European countries led by France, this world war will soon be decided.

Because of serious problems with their logistical support, the soldiers gradually began to be hungry.

Although the resources and materials of the Warsaw Pact countries can still be supported by Ming Dynasty, almost all the young people in these countries joined the ranks of fighting against the Allied Forces. With the increase in casualties, it is difficult for their countries to recover their national strength in a short time after the war .

Only Daming was not affected by the war. Zhang Changfa transported 5000 million taels of silver back from Europe. The treasury of the Ming Dynasty did not have to pay a tael of silver for this world war. In addition, most of the people participating in the war were the Ming Association Army. The influence of the main force of the army is negligible.

Of course, Holy Rome and other four countries are not fools. It is impossible for them not to know that the main force of Ming Dynasty did not participate in the war, but Ming Dynasty has provided more than 300 million taels of silver in materials and cash support to the four allies. What else can they say!

The war has reached a fever pitch, and no one can withdraw, because they cannot afford to lose, they must win together or die together.

Although it was a war between two alliances, in fact, more than 30 countries participated in the war according to the division of later generations. It can be said that except for African countries, all continents with people participated in this war.

Although Britain only provided France with war funds of 20 taels of silver, their national army did not participate in the war.

But at this time, their domestic uprising broke out two months ago. The working class and the royalists fought hard, and the whole country was about to be smashed to pieces.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Rumble..."

Thousands of Mocome missiles and flowering bombs suddenly bombarded the city of Brest, France, and this small French city was immediately engulfed by fire and explosions.

The Daming Fleet, which suddenly appeared in France, attacked the French coastal cities with firearms and bombs that the French army had never seen before, and soon captured Brest.

The queen mother and Mazaran, who were still lingering in their sleep, were awakened from their dreams by the servants, and they were stupid at the time.

They didn't believe that all this was true at all. When did the Orientals set foot on the land of France, let alone attack the mainland of France?

The most powerful leader of the French army is the Prince of Condé. He and the Queen Mother and Mazarin are at odds with each other. Whether he is willing to go back to support is a problem, and whether he can go back to help Paris is another problem, because the elite French army And Prince Condé, at this time in Ottoman, was in a bitter battle and could not be separated.

How can these troops in France block the attack of the Ming Navy and the Dragon Banner Army? At this time, the Dragon Army and the Navy are equipped with the most advanced weapons of the Ming Dynasty. The cavalry, which France is proud of, is completely killing people in front of heavy machine guns.

As for the once strong bastions in France, they were easily taken care of by the Ming Army Air Force with a shower of bombs. After the Ming Army entered the city, the first task was to rob, and then set fire to churches and ancient buildings.

The Ming army attacked all the way, snatching good things when they saw them, and did not leave anyone to defend them. They wanted to smash France temporarily.

The attack of the Ming Navy and the Longteng Army was very smooth, and they captured Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Nice and other cities in succession.

Chongzhen 21st May [-]th.

The Ming army was approaching the city of Paris, Kong Dai still wanted to go back to support the Queen Mother, but now he was at a loss, because the Greeks suddenly turned against the water and joined the Warsaw Pact, and the 30 troops of the Warsaw Pact launched a fierce attack on the Allied forces led by France. attack.

The Ottoman and French coalition forces were surrounded, which made the armies of France, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries completely passive.

They also desperately launched a counterattack, but more than 100 heavy machine guns appeared in front of the Warsaw Pact countries. The heavy machine guns that could fire nearly a hundred bullets in one minute quickly smashed the charging troops of the coalition forces into a sieve.

The Ming Association Army newly recruited from Japan and Southeast Asia, with the support of the navy, landed from the Black Sea Strait and the Aegean Sea, and formed a pincer attack with the Warsaw Pact Allied Forces to beat the dog in the water. After more than three months of melee, the winner was finally determined.

On May 21, the 28st year of Chongzhen, the Warsaw Pact coalition forces defeated the coalition forces of France, Spain and other countries and the Ottomans, killed 10,000+ enemies and quickly advanced to Istanbul, which is the former Byzantine Constantinople.

Earl Harrington of the Holy Roman Empire and the earls of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark looked at the tall and strong castles in front of them, and danced happily, but they gradually calmed down when they thought of the 10,000+ casualties in their own country.

Yang Pu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Association Army, and the head of the Cossack cavalry urged their horses to come before the Earl of the Four Kingdoms.
"Two generals, as long as we take Istanbul, the Ottoman Empire will perish. It is really gratifying!"

Although the four of them are counts of the country, they still dare not underestimate the generals of the Great Ming and Ming Alliance Army. Without Yang Pu's command, they would have been defeated long ago, and the Cossack cavalry was even more fierce in the lead.

Yang Pu smiled and nodded:
"Well, as long as our coalition forces work harder, Istanbul should be broken within three days. I hope that your soldiers from the four countries will fight the enemy as bravely as before, and you will get unexpected benefits by then."

The commander of the Cossack cavalry was not as calm as Yang Pu. Yang Pu was the real lieutenant general of the Ming army, the second-rank general of the Ming army. He was just a puppet army commander, so he raised his hand and saluted:

"Going forward to charge and kill the enemy, the Cossack cavalry will never back down, but we are really helpless in siege warfare."

Both Yang Pu and the Earl of the Four Kingdoms laughed, and then pointed to the rows of cannons not far behind them:

"Don't worry, general, they are enough to attack the city, you Cossacks just wait for the city to break and swing your sword to harvest the heads..."

Even though they said that, they knew very well that the castle in front of them was difficult to break through easily. After all, there were still two or three hundred cannons waiting for them to attack the city.

No one discussed and decided to suspend the siege. The soldiers had been fighting for more than three months and had to rest for two days before launching a general attack.

Yang Pu gave an order, and the coalition forces surrounded Istanbul tightly, not letting a bird fly out, and then the coalition forces of the five countries began to take turns to rest and increase supplies.

Surrounding but not attacking is also a war of attrition. There will soon be a shortage of supplies in the city, and they have no reinforcements outside. Because of uprisings everywhere, every country is now unable to protect itself.
