The tenth year of Gaia, March 5th.

Surprisingly, Gaia's first battle in ten years did not take place in Europe, but in Asia.

On that day, Daxia officially declared war on the Persian Empire.

The Persian Empire was vast, with a total number of players ranging from about 30 million. After suffering the Mongol Empire's western expedition, the total power of the empire remained at a scale of 2 million.

In addition, it is entrenched in the Persian Gulf and was once regarded as an emerging empire in Asia.

In addition to fighting a war with the Mongol Empire, the Persian Empire rarely participated in external wars, with internal stability, economic and trade prosperity, and relatively developed industries. It was the last powerful opponent of Daxia in Asia.

Before attacking Tianzhu, Ouyang Shuo had not thought about whether to go to war against the Persian Empire.

The smooth progress of the Battle of Tianzhu not only won another heavyweight capital protection zone for Daxia, but also saved up one million elite troops, giving Ouyang Shuo the confidence to start a war against Persia.

The identity of the Asian overlord also has certain blessings for this battle.

In order to capture the Persian Empire as soon as possible, Ouyang Shuo was not vague at all this time, and dispatched three armies from the upper, middle and lower routes, a total of 31 legions and an army of 1.55 million.

The Shanglu Army, led by four corpses of the Fengxiang Army affiliated to the North Asian War Theater, marched from Beitaguan, the Western Xinjiang Province; the Fenglu Army commanded the Northern General Guo Ziyi, and served as the commander of the Shanglu Army.

The Central Army consists of four legions of Feixiong Army affiliated to the West Asian War Theater and three legions of Xiyajun, totaling 350,000 troops, and marched from Nancheng Pass of the Western Xinjiang Province.

The godly general Wang Jian served as the commander of the Central Army.

The lower lane army consisted of the First Army to the Fourth Army in South Asia, with a total of one million troops. It was also the main force of the Persian Empire this time, and advanced from the Ayu Province.

The godly general Li Jing personally took charge of the battle.

In addition, the Indian Ocean fleet will also launch an attack on the coastal areas of the Persian Empire from the sea.

Defeat the next enemy, use the country's troops, and then attack the next target.

This approach is very similar to the "meat grinder plan" proposed by Jia Xu on the Tubo battlefield, and it can be regarded as creating a Daxia model.

If the situation goes well, the mode can continue to operate.

The basis of operation was thanks to the success of Daxia in the battlefield in India. It was precisely through the unconventional tactics such as "The Emperor is Death Talisman", that the Daxia army was able to win easily.

If you keep fighting with the Ashoka Dynasty, you will probably be a miserable victory in the end.

The sudden declaration of war in Daxia was undoubtedly an unacceptable disaster for the Persian Empire. Although the Persian Empire had two million troops, it was difficult to find a chance to win in the face of the three Daxia troops.

The stability within the Persian Empire was an advantage and a great disadvantage.

More than half of the two million troops were reorganized by the Imperial Guards of various countries. They had basically never experienced any wars, and their actual combat capabilities were really worrying.

Otherwise, the Mongol Empire's western expedition would not have beaten the Persian Empire to its bruises and faces.

Compared with the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, the Daxia Army is more than just better.

If the 1.5 million Great Xia army was to convert combat power, it would be at least 3 million or even a larger number of troops in the Persian Empire.

How can the Persian Empire win?

The only way is to ask for help from allies.

There are three dynasties bordering the Persian Empire and under the Silver Hand camp, namely the Arab Empire, the Caesar Dynasty and the Romanov Dynasty.

The Caesar dynasty and the Romanov dynasty were trapped in the European battlefield and were still counting on the Persian Empire to reinforce. It was impossible to have the energy to support the Persian Empire in turn.

Especially the Romanov dynasty was busy conquering cities and territories in the Germanic dynasty. The border with the Persian Empire was also a vast and sparsely populated Far East, and there was insufficient support.

The most likely one is probably the Arab Empire.

The two empires came from the same source, but because of their different beliefs, they were cut into two empires. The relationship was not very friendly at that time. It is really unknown whether the Arab Empire could lend a helping hand.

Not to mention, the Arab Empire also faces direct threats from the African theater of Daxia.

After all the calculations, the Persian Empire could only fight alone.

…………

The declaration of war on Persia was like a nuclear bomb, stirring up the calm global situation.

Not only the victim, the Persian Empire, but others did not expect that Daxia, which was deeply trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion, would still do the same thing, and did not forget to expand externally and continue the road to hegemony in the game world.

It seems that the destruction of Hope City has not had any impact on Daxia's strategic decisions.

This naturally became a reason why the Silver Hand attacked Daxia.

The problem is that the silver hand and the blue badge are shaping Ouyang Shuo's image of "glorious and upright". If he stands up and accuses Ouyang Shuo at this time, all his efforts will be wasted not long ago.

So, they could only remain silent, knocking their teeth and swallowing blood.

"I have to doubt that Ouyang Shuo saw this subtle opportunity and launched a war unscrupulously." Jack, who was on the other side of the ocean, couldn't help but sigh.

Jack did not know the strategic position of the Persian Empire, nor did he know how precious the oil and gas resources in the Persian Gulf were. However, in the face of the Persian Empire's request for help, the Dawson Dynasty was really helpless.

After taking over Tianzhu, Daxia's strategic depth was terrifying, and its overall strength reached a new level, which was really not something that the Dawson Dynasty could compete head-on.

This is also one of the reasons why the Silver Hand is eager to send Ouyang Shuo, the "plague god", away.

Although there are rumors that Ouyang Shuo is working hard to train his successor, Jack is still very confident in dealing with Ouyang Bing, the "little girl".

The declaration of war in Daxia also made the temporary cooling a global battlefield again activated.

Ordinary players cannot understand the inner mystery of Daxia’s declaration of war, and all the lords are clear.

In a sense, with the destruction of Hope City and the human settlement of Hope Star is blocked, the status of the game world has not declined but increased, becoming a veritable second world.

For the foreseeable future, most humans will continue to live in the game world.

Therefore, the competition for dominance in the game world has become more important than before, and once exceeded the previous competition for three places.

This is a cake splitting action, and I am most reluctant to fall behind.

It is precisely because Ouyang Shuo ignored the outside world's public opinion and declared war on the Persian Empire shortly after the Battle of India was quelled.

This is the source of the inner logic.

If the Persian Empire can be conquered and the oil and gas resources of the Persian Gulf can be completely controlled, Daxia will basically be invincible in the future wave of industrial competition.

At this time, Ouyang Shuo was like a father who was about to travel far away. He always wanted to do things as well as possible before leaving, leaving a solid family business for his successor Bing'er.
