The English Channel is a strait that separates the Steel Duo Dynasty from the European continent and connects the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea. It is 560 kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide. The narrowest point is only 34 kilometers wide.

In reality, the two countries have built undersea tunnels at the narrowest point, called the Eurotunnel.

Because the English Channel is part of the North Atlantic Ocean and connects the seas between Europe, it has been a strategic focus of military strategists since ancient times. There have been many military conflicts and naval battles here in history.

The Royal Fleet of the Gangduo Dynasty, two of which were stationed here.

For the Royal Fleet, defending the English Channel is equivalent to defending the lifeline of the Gangduo Dynasty, allowing the Gangduo Dynasty to advance and retreat freely in European affairs.

In view of the changes in the European war situation, the Gangduo Dynasty has recently intended to withdraw the troops left on the European battlefield, and to stick to the local area as its top priority.

At this time, the Royal Fleet's cruise on the English Channel became more stringent.

An accident happened anyway.

On the morning of April 1, the Daxia Atlantic Fleet, which had been completely replaced with ironclad ships, two of which raided the English Channel and set off a naval battle.

This is the first time the Atlantic Fleet and the Royal Fleet have confronted each other.

In terms of military strength, naval combat level and navigation level, the two fleets are comparable. The one who commands the Gangduo Royal Fleet is also the famous historical naval warfare Nelson.

Basically the same.

If the Atlantic Fleet is strong, it depends on weapons and equipment.

After the dressing, the Atlantic Fleet formed a three-dimensional space combat system of ironclad ships, fighter jets, and magic powered submarines, and has already faintly formed the prototype of later aircraft carrier fleets.

In contrast, due to resources and labor, half of the battleships of the Gangduo Royal Fleet are sail battleships, and have not been replaced with more advanced ironclad ships.

This is easy to understand.

With the full bloom of Daxia, it took nearly a year to change the Pacific Fleet. It is already quite good that the Gangduo Royal Fleet can make such progress.

In terms of weapons and equipment, the Atlantic Fleet has an overwhelming advantage.

This is one of the reasons why the Royal Fleet of Gangduo did not make any statement after Daxia regained control of the Mediterranean.

Because there is no confidence to intervene.

The result of the naval battle can be imagined. Although the Gangduo Royal Fleet responded well and Nelson was determined to command it, after nearly six hours of fierce battle, he was defeated.

The danger and excitement of it cannot be described by writing and ink.

The defeat of the Gangduo Royal Fleet was like a dazzling signal flare that crossed the European night sky, and would have an immeasurable impact on the already surging situation in Europe.

In fact, the subsequent impact is already fermenting.

In the afternoon of the same day, under the cover of the Atlantic Fleet, Zeng Guoquan commanded the ghost army and landed on the coast of the Gangduo Dynasty, with his troops aiming directly at the capital of the Gangduo Dynasty, Avik Fort.

The 300,000 ghost army is simply fatal to the current Gangdu Dynasty.

Due to the weak population, the total strength of the Gangduo Dynasty at its peak was only 400,000.

After the setbacks of the pioneering in Africa, the continuous consumption of the European battlefield and the local resistance to the invasion of the Germanic dynasty, even though there were two recruitment during the process, the real warable army was less than 250,000.

As for the newly recruited recruits, it would be better not to mention them.

What's worse is that nearly half of the 250,000 troops of the Gangduo Dynasty, that is, the 120,000 troops are still on the European battlefield, "busy" for the European strategy of the Silver Hand.

In other words, the only poor 130,000 troops left behind in the Gangduo Dynasty. Even if the local security forces and new recruits were added, the total strength of the Gangduo Dynasty in the local area could not reach 200,000.

This is a very embarrassing number, completely exposing the fatal weaknesses of the Gangduo Dynasty.

Although these 130,000 troops were well-equipped and well-trained, they could not encircle and suppress the invading Germanic army while also being able to deal with the invasion of the Daxia army.

A big storm was sweeping towards the Gangduo Dynasty.

The country has a small land area, basically no strategic depth, the population has withered, and it is lonely overseas...

In this game world with no technology, the Gangduo Dynasty has to rely on the eyes of others, not to mention replicating the glory of the British Empire in history.

Otherwise, William would not have been so fucking the blame and gritted his teeth to support the organization's attack on the Germanic dynasty.

Only by ensuring peace in Europe can the safety of the Gangdu Dynasty be achieved.

Unfortunately, the Gangduo Dynasty, which had few soldiers and weak bodies, could not control the situation in Europe at all, and could only sway with the wind.

William is afraid that he still doesn't know that his 120,000 troops left on the European battlefield have long been secretly presented to the Germanic dynasty by Henry as a gift for future advancement.

sorrow!

Under the investigation of the Black Snake Guard, the weaknesses of the Gangduo Dynasty were naturally exposed to Ouyang Shuo without reservation, which led to the birth of the "Forging Steel Plan".

The Gangduo Dynasty was one of the best pedals that influenced the European continent by Daxia.

If the Gangduo Dynasty could be captured, its significance to Daxia was not only to add an overseas territory, but to have greater strategic significance.

First, using the Steel Duo Dynasty as the pedal, the Daxia can control the English Channel and then control the North Sea.

In this way, the sea outlets of European dynasties were basically controlled by Daxia, and the Atlantic trade they depended for survival would be locked in by Daxia, without any room for movement.

Even the Dawson Dynasty across the Atlantic Ocean had to act according to Daxia's expression.

The trade rules of the Atlantic Ocean will be rewritten from this and included in the code of conduct of Daxia.

Secondly, the Gangduo Dynasty could threaten the European continent at any time.

Among the five continents, Daxia has the weakest influence on the European continent. With the Gangduo Dynasty, this shortcoming was just enough to make up for it, and its tentacles stretched into the five continents, making the world a game of chess.

Ouyang Shuo could not refuse such temptation.

There is a major premise for the implementation of the "Forged Steel Plan" to prevent the rebound of European dynasties.

If the European dynasties jointly opposed the Daxia invasion of the Gangduo Dynasty, then it would be difficult for the Gangduo Dynasty to conquer the Gangduo Dynasty in a short period of time with the strength of the Gangduo Army.

Even without the participation of the Germanic dynasty, if the five major dynasties of the European Silver Hand were still in their heyday, Daxia would not dare to attack the Gangduo Dynasty.

That would inflict public anger.

At present, the destruction of the Spanish dynasty and the rebellion of the Gaul dynasty was when the Silver Hand was the weakest on the European continent, and Daxia had the opportunity to launch a fatal blow.

It won't be any later.

If the Germanic dynasty had digested the Gaul dynasty and launched a counterattack against the Romanov dynasty, would the Germanic dynasty have allowed the Daxia to capture Gangduo?

I am afraid that it was the Gangduo Dynasty, which had long been regarded as a treasure by Manstein.

It is precisely this that Ouyang Shuo praised the intelligence work of the Black Snake Guard. It was this key intelligence that allowed Daxia to choose the most suitable opportunity to issue the most fatal blow.

In the victory of the Battle of Gangduo, intelligence must be the first to be successful.

…………

April 2, the Gangduo Dynasty, Avik Castle.

In the study of the Kingdom, the atmosphere was so solemn and the air was as if it was about to solidify, which was suffocating.

King William of Gangduo had a blue face and sat on a chair like wood, motionless. This was the expression that only a person in desperate situation would appear.

It proves that William had no way out at this time.

On the day the Royal Fleet was defeated, William applied to convene a summit of five countries and asked the organization for reinforcements. William knew what was going on in his family, and the Gangduo Dynasty was simply unable to face this crisis alone.

What embarrassed William was that no one except the Dawson Dynasty was willing to lend a helping hand.

The Dawson Dynasty was far away from the ocean. Even if Jack was really willing to send a large army, when he arrived, he would probably have lost all day lily and would be useless.

What made William even more angry was that William proposed to withdraw the troops from the European continent, but was firmly opposed by Henry, claiming that the European battlefield was at a critical period and that the troops must not be withdrawn at this time.

"I'm going to destroy my country, so what are the European battlefields?"

William, who has always regarded himself as a gentleman, cursed in anger at the venue.

Seeing this, Henry could only nod and agreed, but his eyes flashed, making him feel involuntarily.

In fact, after learning that the Great Xia invaded the Gangduo Dynasty, Henry and Manstein were so angry that they wanted to curse. This conspirator never thought that such an incident happened just as they were about to harvest the fruit.

The invasion of Daxia completely disrupted the two people's plans.

In desperation, they could only speed up the pace of annexation, first snatch the Gangduo army and the Spanish army, and then talk about counterattacking the Romanov dynasty.

Otherwise, it is likely that the whole market will be lost.

As for the Gangduo Dynasty, it could only let go and let Daxia take advantage.

William's heart was cold!

Early this morning, William tried to contact the commander of the European army and issued an order to withdraw troops. What shocked William was that the communication compass was not connected, and it was obvious that there was a major change.

Next, William contacted several generals of the army, but no exception could be contacted. William did not give up and tried to contact Henry, but Henry directly pulled him on the blacklist.

"It's over!"

No matter how stupid William is, he knows that it must be the Gaul dynasty that is doing it.

But he didn't know that just last night, the Gaul army suddenly surrounded the Gangduo military camp, and without any defense, disarmed the 120,000 Gangduo army and turned it into prisoners of war.

Also disarmed were the Spanish army.

The European continent is ushering in an unprecedented great change. In this drastic change, the Gangduo Dynasty pitifully played the role of a weak man and an abandoned son.

"Brother, you have to cheer up."

When Annie opposite saw her, her face was no longer as beautiful as before and she was worried.

“Cheer?”

William showed a self-deprecating smile on his lips.

"All this is already like this, how can you cheer up? Let them go!" William had decided to admit defeat.
Chapter completed!
