We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Abrana said: "Our previous transactions are also included in this. As for the prisoners in your hands... I not only want the Tara people of the 51st Highland Division, I want all the Tara prisoners in Kazdel's hands. "

"No problem, deal."

Teresica did not hesitate. Counting the 51st Highland Division, there were only 2 prisoners.For the insignificant 12 Tara people in Kazdare, [-] steam turbines would be enough.

In order to save as many Tara families as possible, Abrana acted quickly.That night, a large number of Victoria soldiers came out of the Victoria-controlled area in downtown Eureka.These hungry Tara people handed over their weapons to the Sakaz who had been prepared for a long time.

The commander of the 51st Gaoshan Division stood at the scene where Sakaz was registering the surrenderers, silently looking at the soldiers wearing Victoria uniforms with their hands raised high.

"Hello, sir."

A Sakaz company commander walked up to him, gave him a military salute, and motioned for him to hand over his sword, but he did not move.

"I really didn't expect that I would receive an order to surrender."

The Victoria division commander looked at Sakaz in front of him, "My grandfather's father died at the hands of your Sakaz. At that time, our family was just farming in the border area of ​​Victoria. A group of armed Sakaz suddenly appeared, set fire to the village, and killed my great-grandfather."

"If you don't have land, you can only join the army, so my family has been in the army since my grandfather. It's a bit of a tradition for me. I will carry out the order to surrender, but I will not obey it myself. This is detrimental to our family. The honor will also bring shame to Victoria’s soldiers, and I am a division commander.”

The division commander's expression was very calm. Seeing that he didn't mean to be joking, Captain Sakaz put his finger on the trigger of the personal crossbow.

"I advise you to calm down."

"I'm calm, don't worry. I won't attack you. It will only kill these soldiers who can survive. Although they are from Tara, they are still young children. There is really no need. Die here."

Victoria's teacher slowly raised his right hand and released his palm. There were several pills lying on it.

"Hey!"

Captain Sakaz immediately wanted to stop him, but the division commander had already lowered his head and swallowed it all in one breath. Within a few seconds, he suddenly lost all strength and fell to the ground and began to tremble.

"Medic! Medic!"

Captain Sakaz shouted nervously, but when the medical soldiers arrived, the Victoria division commander was no longer alive.

Chapter 287 Declaration of Independence

"What? The 51st Highland Division surrendered?"

In the city of Eureka, the commander of the 50th Infantry Division of Victoria, who was still holding on, stood up quickly after hearing the adjutant's report.He came to a small, half-collapsed house on the flank position, which was the combat position of their division's weapon master.

Victoria's weapon master carefully controlled the drone, cautiously raised his height among the ruins, and displayed the original position of the 51st Highland Division in front of the division commander.

The Victoria soldiers who were originally stationed there have disappeared, replaced by Sakaz troops who have even dug trenches.

"Damn it! He is an outstanding graduate of the Royal Guards School! Isn't this embarrassing for us?"

Listening to the division commander's mutterings, the adjutant guessed, "The soldiers on his side are basically Tara people. Could it be that the Tara people coerced him into surrendering?"

"But... what should we do? The Sakaz people's front line of contact with us has now been shortened, and our defensive positions have increased."

Seeing the worried look on the adjutant's face, the division commander snorted helplessly, "Don't worry, those Sakaz won't waste their energy attacking, they will just wait to collect our bodies."

The commander of the 50th Infantry Division left the combat position of the armorer and returned to his headquarters.He deliberately chose a different route than when he came. What he saw were soldiers everywhere relying on bunkers to save energy. They had not taken in nutrients and water for a while.

However, when they saw him, the division commander, passing by, the soldiers along the road would still stand up and salute. Victoria's military discipline still remained in their hearts.

"They haven't had anything to eat in how many days?"

"It's been two days, and the last meal was a paste made by grinding iron bread flour and adding water. The logistics department forcibly withheld a batch of this flour, waiting to be distributed when Sakaz launches a general offensive."

The division commander stopped, turned around and stared at his soldiers for a while.

"Starting to death is the only outcome if this continues... Send a message to Harold and ask him how our lonely army should act. If he cannot solve the supply problem, then we will forcefully evacuate south tonight. Just tell him this. Give out the last few rations at night, and escape as much as you can."

"Yes!"

The adjutant set off immediately, but the communications soldier came over first.

"Commander! The war has ceased! The war has ceased! We can go back!"

.........

After learning that the 51st Highland Division had surrendered, Victoria's diplomatic team knew that the situation in Eureka State was now completely hopeless.

Just one starving infantry division?How to fight Sarkaz?

Terra 1079, August 8st.An agreement was reached between the independent forces of Victoria and Cartes.

Recognizing the independence of the Eureka region, its independent geographical interpretation range is the state of Eureka plus Queensland. All affairs within this range are controlled by the Carters independent armed forces, and the Victorian Parliament has no right to interfere.

However, while making concessions, Victoria also made another request, that is, the Carters independent armed forces cannot act in the name of Rem Billiton, because most of Rem Billiton's territory is still in Victoria's hands.

Holden and Curtin are not too obsessed with this point. They think that Victoria has found a fig leaf for themselves. Since these films are so important to face, then give them to them.

When the Victorians stamped their coats of arms on the agreement and left the conference hall, Horton and Curtin sat in silence.

"You hit me?"

"Hiss--it hurts. Are we independent?"

"Independence! We have our own home!"

"Hahaha……"

Two men who were already several decades old were smiling happily like children.Upon seeing this, the two disguised shapeshifters led the others away from here gently.

It's not like they haven't seen the scene in front of them before. It would be better to leave a complete space for them to release their emotions, and there are still many things that have to be finished by Kazdel.

The first is the evacuation of armed personnel.

After receiving notifications from the diplomatic department and parliament, Harold, Victoria's top military commander in Rembilliton, reluctantly signed the withdrawal order.

All Victorian troops near Eureka were withdrawn to Adelaide.After communicating with Sakaz, the last Victoria Infantry Division stranded in the city of Eureka began to gradually withdraw, while Sakaz and the Carters independent armed forces gradually took over.

For a combat force, not only must it be able to attack, but it must also be particular about how to retreat.

At the headquarters of the [-]st Experimental Division, Manteuffel and a group of officers were observing the retreat procedures of the Victoria troops through drones.

The 50th Infantry Division divided itself into three parts, which performed cover and retreat actions in sequence, forming cover for each other to avoid enemy surprise attacks.On their retreat route, the other Victoria troops did not just watch. They dispersed their forces and set up multiple contact points on the route to ensure that no unexpected situations would occur. After the 50th Infantry Division passed Retreat together.

"These pure Victorian troops have very high military qualities."

Manteuffel sighed in admiration, this was what he was thinking.

In an infantry division, five figures of people are gathered together. It is a test of the management structure to ensure that their daily food and drink are not disrupted. Not to mention coordinating the various departments to make consistent tactical actions in a tense combat environment. .

Retreat, like advance, is different from an ordinary march.Multiple troops need to expand and gather multiple times, and new supplies from the rear must be transported at any time.With so many collective action items, to ensure the perfect operation of the overall process, there must be room for adjustment between projects.However, these Victoria Infantry Divisions arranged their operations very closely with each other, but there was no delay in the troops at any point in time.

From a military point of view, Manteuffel found that he had no way to sneak attack the retreating Victoria troops in front of him, because they did their job too well.

As for Sakaz, can the Sakaz officers complete this kind of retreat?

Manteuffel thought for a while, and the answer was no, including himself.

In the past, Sakaz led small groups of troops to fight for a long time. In addition to suiting Sakaz's own advantages, another reason was the lack of qualified commanders of large corps. Their management level could only command so many people.

Although Kazdaele now has a large corps establishment, except for the two experimentalists, the rest of the army's combat forms are basically dense personnel battle formations. Compared with the past, it can only be said to be an improvement. Compared with the old empire like Victoria, There is still a gap.

After pondering for a while, Manteuffel no longer looked at the screen in front of him.Victory puts more pressure on people than failure.

"There is nothing important today, so don't look for me. I have to write a report and submit it to His Majesty."

Chapter 288 Strengthening Carters Arms

"Come here, give me a hand!"

"Be careful! The structure here is cracked!"

News of the war's end spread quickly.When the war reached Eureka, the Carters people who had been evacuated to Queensland early were returning to their homes.

They have to clean up the ruins, go deep into the ruins to transport the corpses that the drones are asking about, and spray various sterilizing liquids to avoid infectious diseases...

Fighting with blood and tears to become independent is just their starting point. The Carters still need to endure the pain and resume production and construction as soon as possible. This will be an arduous journey.

However, Teresica, who is in Kazdale, is also having a headache for the Carters.

In front of him, there were a lot of draft agreements, letters of intent and the like.Although he doesn't need to take care of the details, the final decision has to wait for him to make the decision.

This covers almost all areas of people's livelihood, such as construction, medical care, and food. The Carters in Eureka want to purchase all these things from Kazdale so that they can more smoothly regain a foothold in the ruins. .

Where there is demand, there will be production, and where there is production, it will drive the development of technology. In the long run, these are good for Kazdaele.

But the problem is that the Carters in Eureka don’t have a penny in their pockets!These cooperations are all IOUs!Coupled with the IOUs written for consuming various supplies during the previous war, the Carters in Kazdale are already deeply in debt!

In Teresica's mind, considering the various uses they made of Carters in the early days, he was actually not very resistant to these cooperations, and regarded them as redeeming a little bit of his conscience.

But on the other side, Speaker Witte of Ursus also proposed a plan to him.

Cazdale armed Carters with all aspects, and by the way, he advanced the funds himself.

Although Victoria's source ore supply was not cut off this time, it greatly narrowed the resource pocket. In the future, most of Victoria's main ore supply will be supported by Adelaide.

In this case, Adelaide's importance to Victoria will skyrocket.If a powerful Eureka state emerges next to such a vital area, then Victoria will inevitably strengthen the armed forces of Adelaide state.

For Victoria, there are only two ways to strengthen Rem Billiton's southern power.First, sending a standing army to station here from afar would not only distract Victoria's power, but also increase economic losses, but it could securely maintain their advantage over the colonies.The second is to establish a foreign army that is subordinate to Victoria and establish basic military industrial facilities on the spot. This will be the most economical and appropriate.

But this also means that a certain degree of autonomy is given to the local area.Once Talahe Gaudotin and other areas find out, there will definitely be an uproar, and then it will be a bomb placed next to Victoria.Of course, even if Victoria does a good job of blocking information, Ursus will help them clear their ears.

No matter what Victoria chooses, it will definitely be beneficial to Ursus.But they are not blind. In this situation, Ursus armed the Carters, which must be arousing Victoria's tense nerves. Besides, there are still a large number of troops stationed on both sides of the border. It is very dangerous to get involved. , Ursus can't really go to war with others.

Therefore, the only one I can find... is Kazdel.Together, the Sakaz and the Carters have twice the firepower to attract fire.

"Your Majesty, Speaker Witte's land speeder has entered Kazdaele's port area."

After listening to Shining's report, Teresica nodded and stood up to greet him.Werther personally came to hold secret talks, which also showed the importance Ursus attached to this matter.

In the meeting hall of Sakaz Palace, Teresica received Witte.

"Your Majesty the King, congratulations on your victory over Victoria."

"Speaker Witte is a bit exaggerated. The Carters warriors still played a role, and this victory does not belong to them, but to the warriors on the front line."

After the two chatted for a while, Werther quickly entered the topic.

"His Majesty the King, I came to Kazdaele today to discuss an arms deal with you."

"Arms? What Kazdaele lacks the most now is arms. The Letania War followed the Eureka Independence War, and Kazdaele really has no arms. Speaking of this, as Speaker Witte introduced it before, I I didn’t dare to agree”

Teresica declined with a smile, but Werther did not give up, "This time is different. It is for Carters people. They don't have to rush for a short time. They can make long-term orders."

"I'm afraid this may be a bit troublesome..."

It’s not like he didn’t know Ursus’ idea. To provoke Victoria to Cazdale was simply because there were too many lice but it didn’t itch.

It's just that a large part of the Carters tribe's resources had already been assigned to Kazdaele and Ursus in the agreement when Kazdaele intervened in the war.

With people's livelihood resources plus arms resources, Teresica is worried about their ability to repay money in the future.He is not the sage of the earth. He doesn’t want to give people tens of billions of subsidies, and he doesn’t have the strength of the red empire.

"Speaker Witte, the food, clothing, medical supplies and other things that the Carters now have are all paid for by Kazdaele. In addition, we, Sarkarz, go to help them fight the war, resulting in various material consumption and personnel losses. , these things put together, Kazdel is already very weak, and if we continue to sell arms at a discount, it really can’t sustain it, unless... Ursus gives the Carters a loan? "

After speaking, although Werther's expression did not change at all, few words came out of his mouth.

Ursus has a vast territory and strong military power, but... its economy is not good.Now His Majesty Feodor is vigorously carrying out land development work in Ursus and improving the domestic economy.The little money in my hand is worth one ruble for two rubles. How can I put down what I am doing and give it to the Carters!

Ursas now just wants to prostitute Kazdel for nothing, let him help the Carters resume production as soon as possible, and then create value for Ursus.

But what Kazdaile said is indeed correct. Its size is only that small, and the inventory in its pockets has indeed been almost exhausted in two consecutive battles. This is what economists in Ursus speculate. the result of.

"I have an idea here. I wonder if I can discuss it with His Majesty the King?"

"What do you think? Speaker Witte just said it."

After receiving Teresica's permission, Werther spoke.

"Kazdale helped the Carters this time, causing Victoria to stumble. It made the whole of Terra famous. How about Kazdale holding a military expo? We Ursas will also participate and help out. Propaganda, many countries must be very interested in Kazdaele’s weapons and equipment at the moment, and they are not short of money.”

Werther's words made Teresica very moved, but he added.

"We hope Kazdaele can use part of the profit funds afterwards to prioritize arming the Carters."

Chapter 289 Sakaz: Let me take a look at your ship

The secret meeting was very brief. After talking about the necessary matters, Speaker Witte immediately asked to leave, and Teresica and Shining stood up to see them off.

"Speaker Witte, for this matter today, just ask the diplomats to come over. There is no need to go there in person."

"That won't work. I can't trust any of those Ursus diplomats who only drink vodka and submit declarations of war."

Werther said this with a smile in front of Teresica.

When preparing to discuss arming the Carters with Kazdaele, His Majesty Feodor gave special instructions.Considering that Ursus and Kazdaele have cooperation in the import and export of Originium and commercial transportation, it is a harmonious and long-term cooperation.In addition, they had a fight with Victoria in person, and now they are a country that is evenly matched with Terra's top powers. The attitude when communicating should be more delicate and gentle than before.
