The forty-ninth chapter broke up and went to war in an all-round way
Spike felt a deep feeling of powerlessness appearing deep in his heart. Every time he negotiated with the Ming Empire, he was full of confidence, but they were weak and powerless.
There is no way, the Ming Empire is too strong, even if it is unreasonable, you have to listen, because if you don’t accept it, others will do it without hesitation.
He sorted out his words and then said in an tactful tone: "Marson Marshal, it seems that neither of us mentioned Spain or Portugal in the last treaty?"
Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "Old Master Spike, please make some sense, it's like we were fighting and we agreed not to fight anymore. As a result, as soon as I turned around, you rushed up to beat my friend. Is there any reason?"
Be reasonable? Who is unreasonable? Spain and Portugal are not mentioned in the contract?
There is no way, if someone has a hard fist, if you have to be a hard fist, Spike would definitely say unceremoniously: "I'll hit your friend, what's wrong? If you don't accept it, come and hit me!"
However, now, they are the weaker side, and the Ming Empire has already been attacked.
He had to beg the whole story: "Marson Marshal, these are two different things. We have signed a ceasefire treaty, which is different from fighting."
Sun Chuanting said seriously: "No, Lord Spike, this is one thing. As soon as we retreated, you rushed up to attack our allies. How could this make sense?"
This guy is simply indifferent. Spike is really a little angry, but his purpose in the peace talks was not to anger the Ming Empire, but to make the Ming Empire withdraw his troops. Let's ask the Ming Empire for the conditions for withdrawing troops first.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tentatively said: "Okay, I won't talk about the Armistice Treaty. I believe that the Marshal also understands our meaning. We hope that your country can stop the invasion of Tsarist Russia immediately. I wonder if your country can take peace as the most important thing and withdraw its troops immediately?"
Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "It's not impossible to withdraw our troops immediately, but you must first show sincerity."
Sincerity, is it money?
If it is only a few million taels, it is acceptable. After all, it is not enough to transfer hundreds of thousands of troops to resist the Ming Empire.
Spike asked hopefully: "I don't know what sincerity is the marshal's words?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting said expressionlessly: "It's very simple. You will immediately lift the blockade of the sea west of the continent, withdraw all warships back to their respective homes, and compensate our Ming Empire, Spain and Portugal for 10 million taels of silver each, and we will withdraw our troops immediately."
When Spike heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This is called simple. In this way, it means that the entire anti-Habsburg alliance has admitted defeat, surrendered, and withdrawn from the sea battle for hegemony!
This was impossible at all. He suppressed his anger and shook his head firmly and said, "Marantor, I can tell you responsibly that this is impossible."
Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting replied hard: "Your Excellency Spike, then I will tell you very responsibly that it is impossible for you to withdraw your troops if you don't withdraw your troops."
It seems that tolerant is useless, and some tough guys must come. Spike said coldly: "Master, do you think you can defeat our entire anti-Habsburg alliance with just 200,000 or 300,000 people? You are forcing us to jointly send troops."
Sun Chuanting also said coldly: "It is your business whether to send troops or not. Anyway, if you don't retreat, we won't retreat, it's that simple."
Too arrogant, Spike could not bear it anymore, and he said angrily: "Marson, if you insist on not retreating, we can only unite to defend the territory of our allies."
Oh, I even threatened to send more people, Sun Chuanting said coolly: "Your Excellency Spike, no matter what, we will not retreat first. What do you want, we will always accompany you."
This is already very obvious. When war starts, war starts. Who is afraid of whom!
This time, Spike is not as cowardly as last time. He fights just by fighting. Can the six allies join forces to defeat your 200,000 or 300,000 people?
He stood up and said coldly: "Marson, since that's the case, then let's say goodbye."
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned around and left with the negotiating delegation.
Sun Chuanting was too lazy to get up, so he sat there directly, and said coldly to Spike's back: "It's easy to leave, don't give it away."
This clearly shows bullying. Sun Chuanting's attitude made the negotiators of the six countries very angry.
After returning to the Russian imperial capital of Tsarist Russia, Spike immediately summoned them to hold a meeting to discuss the issue of supporting Tsarist Russia.
Before these negotiators came, they received more or less instructions from those in power in various countries, and also had corresponding authorizations. If the Ming Empire did not retreat, then organize a coalition forces to fight them!
After everyone discussed, they decided on a specific plan.
Sweden and Denmark each sent 100,000 troops to support Tsarist Russia;
Britain and France provided 500 artillery pieces to resist the attack of the Ming army;
The Netherlands invested about four million taels of silver as military expenses.
As for Tsarist Russia, it immediately sent people to build a line of defense about two hundred miles ahead of the Ming army, preparing to resist the attack of the Ming Empire.
All countries acted quickly, and various materials were constantly gathering towards Tsarist Russia, and the troops of Sweden and Denmark also arrived one after another. It seemed that a war was inevitable.
Sun Chuanting was not frightened by Spike's threat. He still commanded the army and protected the construction army to slowly build the railway line to the heart of Tsarist Russia.
The blocking location selected by Tsarist Russia was on the west bank of the Wu River about two hundred miles ahead of the Ming army. Since the Wu River was an inland river, the navy of the Ming Empire could not enter, so they did not have to worry about the Ming Empire using super battleships to bomb the fortifications along the coast.
Moreover, the Wuhe section is about half a mile wide and without a bridge, the Ming Empire's army could not reach the other side of the river at all. Therefore, as long as the Ming Empire builds a bastion and a turret on the other side to prevent the Ming Empire from building bridges, it will be difficult for the Ming Empire to continue to build the railway forward unless they change the route or send troops to detour to the left and right sides of the defense line to take down the defense line first.
Will Sun Chuanting change the way? Of course not. He just wanted to fight a war of attrition with the enemy, and he didn't really want to take down the entire Tsarist Russia.
As for the roundabout attack, it was even more impossible. He only brought 200,000 troops to attack the other people's bastions and turrets, which was seeking death.
Almost a month later, the Ming army finally built the railway to the other side of the anti-Habsburg coalition line.
At this time, the Ming army did not rush to attack the coalition's defense line, but built a large battalion about ten miles away from the river bank and a large railway station.
After nearly half a month of nervous waiting, the Ming army finally launched an attack.
Dozens of armored vehicles lined up across the river and slowly advanced to a place less than a mile away from the river. Immediately afterwards, countless roars of artillery sounded behind the armored vehicles, with thousands of shells covering the defense line on the west bank like dark clouds!
It seems that the Ming army wants to level the defense line first, and then organize people to build bridges or attack in a roundabout way.
The anti-Habsburg power coalition naturally would not wait to die. They also had thousands of artillery pieces, and they were the latest cannons, and their firepower was not much worse than that of the Ming army.
So, artillery fired on both sides of the Wu River, and the two sides were rushing each other every day, and they were going back and forth, and it was very lively, endless, and I don’t know how long it would last.
