Will the Allies send troops to counterattack Malta?

That doesn't exist.

The day after the White Stop returned to the fleet, the day before it was scheduled to leave for Malta, the remaining Bran army announced its surrender.

In fact, on the night of the previous day, the last transport ships sent by the Royal Navy of Bran left Malta.

Because there was no hope of evacuation, on the morning of the same day, the remaining Bran army raised a white flag and surrendered to the Ranman army, which was still in a defensive position at that time.

This is also a spectacle, if it is said, the attacking side voluntarily surrenders to the defending side.

This also reflects from one side that the morale of Bran's army has completely collapsed.

No matter how the Bran Kingdom advertised, the fact that the combat troops on the front line surrendered without a fight is enough to show that the Bran Kingdom has reached the point of exhaustion.

It has not yet collapsed completely, and it is only because the homeland has not been attacked.

Based on the performance of Bran's army in Luxinhai, especially in the Syvan Canal and Malta, it may be possible to declare defeat and surrender immediately after being attacked on the mainland.

However, none of this has anything to do with the White Stop War.

In the early morning of 20 January, after completing its final replenishment, Task Force 11 entered the Shivan Canal and returned to the Narrow Sea a few hours later.

Then came the long journey home.

Three days later, the 11th Task Force was still sailing towards Colombo off the Mua Sea, preparing to stop there for a short time to allow the officers and men to recuperate, and the Navy Command sent the latest information.

The Empire had persuaded the Kingdom of Span that it might be possible to join the Entente in the near future.

In addition, the Kingdom of Spann has put its troops into combat readiness and has strengthened its defenses in the southern region, as well as in the vicinity of the capital.

Unsurprisingly, after the Kingdom of Span entered the war, taking Telok Fortress was no longer a problem.

Of course, this is also a bargaining chip for the kingdom of Spann to enter the war.

To put it simply, the Empire had made a commitment to the Kingdom of Span on behalf of the Entente to return the Telok Fortress to the Kingdom of Span after the end of the war, and to return Tangier to the Kingdom of Span after the Great War, and to recognize the Kingdom of Span as the Dominance of Iberia.

The key is also to assign all the colonies of the Rock Kingdom in the western part of the Beixuan region to the Kingdom of Span Kingdom.

Of course, the Kingdom of Span promised to lease Tangier to the Empire and Telok Fortress to the Liangxia Empire for a period of 49 years after the end of the war, so as to ensure that the Strait of Zhiluo would remain unimpeded after the war and could be used by the Empire and the Liangxia Empire.

The sale of the two fortresses north and south of the Zhira Strait is mainly to show that there is no ambition for hegemony, that is, the interests of the Kingdom of Span are not a threat to the two empires.

It must be admitted that the leaders of the Kingdom of Span are very rational and can be said to be self-aware.

Entering the war so late can only reap some benefits, and any attempt to surpass one's own strength will have the opposite effect.

So far, nothing has been agreed upon, only a few colonies in the Caribbean.

The Kingdom of Span explicitly demanded the recovery of all the colonies, including Cuba, that had been lost to the Nuland Federation half a century earlier after the war.

Unfortunately, this is clearly unlikely.

The reason is also very simple, this includes the Nanzhu Kingdom, and the Liangxia Empire obviously will not agree to let the Nanzhu Kingdom become a colony of the Siban Kingdom again.

For this reason, there is a compensation plan.

The Kingdom of Span was given several overseas territories in the southern continent in the northern part of the Southern Isolated Continent, as well as several overseas territories in the Caribbean, as compensation for the confiscation of all the colonies by the Kingdom of Span Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Span gave up all territorial claims in the Guia region.

Of course, what has not yet been negotiated is how much compensation will be paid.

The point is that the entry of the Kingdom of Span into the war must be the last straw that crushes the Kingdom of Bran.

Prior to this, most of the Bran Kingdom still had a little thought, thinking that by holding on to the Telok Fortress and controlling Tangier on the other side of the strait, the Liangxia Navy Task Force could be blocked in the Luxin Sea, at least in the near future, it would be able to ensure the sea dominance in the Sunset Ocean.

The key, of course, is to ensure that the shipping routes with the Nuland Federation are unimpeded.

As long as it can be done, then the kingdom of Bran will be able to hold on, at least there is no need to immediately consider whether to surrender.

Obviously, after the Kingdom of Span entered the war, this thought would be in vain.

Although Telok Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is aimed at enemies from the sea, not from the land, let alone being flanked.

What's more, the Royal Navy of Bran no longer has a fleet to guard the fortress.

Historically, Telok Fortress itself belonged to the Kingdom of Span and was taken by the Kingdom of Bran after defeating the Kingdom of Span by sending troops to take it.

At least the current kingdom of Span did not recognize Telok Fortress as belonging to the kingdom of Bran.

In fact, after the founding of the state, the Kingdom of Span has been in contact with the Kingdom of Bran, hoping to recover this territory through peaceful means.

Unfortunately, the efforts of the Kingdom of Spann did not pay off.

If anything, this is also the key to the fact that the Kingdom of Span has always remained neutral and has not interacted with the Alliance.

In the previous hundreds of years, the Bran Kingdom was able to hold this peninsula facing the sea on three sides and defeat the enemy from the land direction, and the key was to dominate the sea.

With the support and cover of the fleet, the Bran army guarding the fortress was able to block a hundred.

So, without a fleet, can it still be held?

The answer is clearly no.

Even if the Liang Xia fleet did not pass, without the support of the fleet, it would not be able to withstand the attack of the Siban army by relying on the little strength of the fortress.

A few days of shelling can turn Telok Fortress into ruins.

So, after the fall of the fortress, what else can the kingdom of Bran hope for?

In the short term, the Nuland Navy is difficult to protect itself, and it is impossible to rush to the aid of the Bran Kingdom.

If there is really no choice, even if the Nuland Federation gives up the Bran Kingdom, it will do its best to hold the Howaii Islands on the other side of the Guia Ocean.

The point is, the Royal Navy of Bran no longer has a fleet aircraft carrier!

What can you do with the few remaining capital ships?

In fact, even if it competed with the capital ships, the Royal Navy of Bran did not have any chance of winning, because the Liang Xia Navy was able to deploy several fast battleships to the sunset. Among them, there is also the powerful "South Zhuhai" class, and the "Xuhai" class, which is equally strong in combat and has been tested in actual combat.

To put it mildly, even if the fleet battle was conducted in the traditional way, the Royal Navy of Bran would definitely be defeated.

As long as the task force of the Liang Xia Navy enters the sunset ocean, it can easily cut off the sea routes and implement a strategic blockade of the Bran Kingdom.

Is there any hope for the kingdom of Bran after the route is cut off?

It should be said that after the loss of the sea control of the Fanyan Ocean, especially after the loss of Sri Lanka, the Bran Kingdom was no longer able to obtain resources from the Van Luo region. Staying tense and continuing to fight on all fronts, the Kingdom of Bran relied on aid from the Newland Federation.

At least the assistance provided by the Nuland Federation has played an extremely important and irreplaceable role.

Without aid, there is no hope.

So, will the Bran Kingdom choose to withdraw from this war with dignity because of this?

Or, like the original Locke Republic, put aside its century-old empire and surrender to the Entente before the war swept through its homeland?
