Chapter 1177: World War
Murphy anxiously paced back and forth in the office.
The rumbling of the cannons in the harbor made him restless, and although they had fully anticipated and prepared for the Empire's attack on London, he still had a little drum in his heart, after all, he had never fought against the Imperial army.
Just as he was worried, an officer covered in blood rushed in and yelled at him: "Prime Minister Murphy, we must evacuate London now, the Imperial soldiers have landed on the docks, their fire is too fierce, we can't resist it at all." ”
Murphy's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he asked in disbelief, "Is what you said true?" “
The officer said: "Prime Minister Murphy, it is true, the rifles of the Imperial soldiers can fire continuously, and the fire of the machine guns is even more ferocious, and we have been repulsed by them several times, and now we can only abandon the port and take advantage of our geographical advantage to fight them in the city of London." “
Murphy nodded, and he said; "Imperial weapons are most powerful in the open area, and as long as you use the building to hide yourself and sneak up on them, at least our casualty ratio will not be so great."
"That's exactly what I thought." The officer said that urban warfare is a headache for any army.
On the sea, Xie Yuan ordered the second group of landing soldiers to land on the north side of London, and the third group of soldiers to land on the east side of London.
In this way, he made dumplings in London, and when the time came, he focused on building a defense on the north flank, encircling the point and sending reinforcements, and at the same time, he passed on the news, which he believed would soon be understood at the front.
Entering the city to fight in the streets was something that neither he nor Lu Jun thought about, and they were well aware of the current advantages of the British, their disadvantages.
So, Murphy, who prepares to wipe out the Imperial army in street fighting, soon discovers that London has become an isolated island and a city in crisis with food.
While he was worried, a British soldier delivered a letter of surrender to Murphy.
Just glanced at the contents of the persuasion book, and Murphy's whole person was like falling into an ice cave.
Because Xie Yuan threatened Murphy in the persuasion letter, if they refused to surrender, they would choose to deal with defeated London, including the slaughter of the city.
The intimidation was so effective that the parliamentarians, who had not had time to flee, panicked, for whom nothing was more important than their lives.
And more councillors are kind enough to persuade Murphy to make the right choice, instead of being hot-headed and letting everyone accompany him to the funeral.
……
The news soon reached Prussia.
Freel II, who heard the news, was furious, "Do the Entente countries in Vienna think that what our St. Petersburg Entente said is all nonsense?"
"At least the Empire thinks we're talking nonsense, and now that the Empire's army is on British soil, if we don't react, Britain will be completely defeated in less than a month." Vidomia said hatefully.
She felt insulted to her pride for the Empire's disregard for them.
Hearing this, Fret II pondered for a while, and he said: "Sooner or later, there will be a battlefield war between us, in this case, it is better to happen now, otherwise the empire will come up with other powerful weapons, and we will have no possibility of victory." “
After a pause, he said: "In that case, let's go according to the plan, I believe that with the cooperation of the six countries, we will definitely be able to defeat them in the European theater." “
Vidomia smiled, they had already made a plan to counterattack the Empire at the last St. Petersburg meeting.
When Veret II said this, it meant that the Entente was fulfilled.
The next day, Ferrer II's request was sent to the Entente powers, and on the same day Ferred II declared that Prussia was in a state of war, and that they would unite with Britain, Spain, Portugal, Tsarist Russia, and France to resist the invasion of the Entente in Vienna.
One by one, the news arrived, and like Friel II, the other five powers officially declared war on the Entente in Vienna.
Vienna.
When Tang Wenjie learned of this, he immediately gathered the members of the Entente, and at the same time, in the face of the sudden declaration of war in St. Petersburg, they decided to use force to counterattack.
In this tense atmosphere of confrontation, after a month of preparation, the war broke out with a surprise French attack on the Netherlands.
And at this time, the expeditionary force of the Reich passed through the Suez Canal in a mighty way.
They docked in Venice, where a large number of men and equipment were assembled.
"Commander Lu, Commander Ye, Riesling." Seeing the commanders of the three major military regions of the empire appear in Venice, Tang Wenjie was slightly excited.
Lu Fei looked at the streets of Venice, he laughed, he said: "Tang Wenjie, there is no need to talk nonsense, let's talk about the current situation in Europe, we have been floating at sea for more than a month, and a lot of things must have happened." “
Ye Qingyun and Lei Ming are also concerned about this matter, this time the six major military regions of the empire are all dispatched, and there is a great sense of war to decide.
For them, such a battle could not be missed.
"The Entente in St. Petersburg declared war on us, and now France has invaded the Netherlands, and Tsarist Russia seems to be ready to make a move against Finland, Norway and Sweden, and France, Prussia, Spain and Portugal are ready to strike at Austria, Hungary." Tang Wenjie said.
In the past month or so, the situation has become too fast, and he is a little unable to react.
Tang Wenjie's news made Lu Fei and the three fall into a short silence, and after pondering for a while, Lu Fei asked, "How is the mood of the Entente in Vienna now?" ”
"At present, it is still very stable, because they have received weapons support from the Reich in the past two years, and they are not without the power to fight back against the St. Petersburg Entente, but if the Reich does not participate, they may have different intentions."
Lu Fei nodded, "You can now announce to them that the Empire's army is coming." ”
After speaking, he said to Lei Ming and Ye Qingyun: "The core of St. Petersburg is France, Prussia and Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia has Luo Xin and Qi Guangyi to deal with, and France and Prussia will be handed over to us." ”
Lei Ming said: "Spain and Portugal will be left to me." ”
Lu Fei nodded, "Ye Qingyun, France is yours, Prussia can be handed over to me, as for Britain, Lu Jun and Xie Yuan are enough." ”
Tang Wenjie said: "This is true, England is now on the verge of collapse, and it is estimated that it will be known in the next few days." ”
The trio are quite familiar with the situation in Britain and are not worried about it.
Their focus now was on the invasion of the Netherlands on the European continent, especially by France, at this time, and if they did not act in time, once the Netherlands was destroyed, the blow to the Entente in Vienna would be enormous.
For this reason, they prepared to attack the Entente in St. Petersburg after a three-day rest.
