Macho Wars

Kane planned to have a deterrent firepower in the evening, and would directly attack the palace and say "hello" to the opponent.

At the same time, on the side of the defender, the Principality's Minister of Military Affairs, Luo Yako, was inspecting the positions around the capital.

Due to intelligence errors, Luo Yako didn't know that the imperial army was only a few thousand men, so he was extremely cautious in tactics, coupled with the depressed morale of the defenders, did not dare to go out of the city.

Just yesterday, Luo Yako drew two battalions of chariot units from the most elite Lancer Division under him to carry out fire reconnaissance out of the city. As a result, he encountered the imperial army's reconnaissance troops in the suburbs and towns about 30 kilometers south of the city.

After a brief exchange of fire between the two sides, although the Principality Army had little loss, the commander fully experienced the exaggerated firepower level of the Imperial Army.

A squad of dozens of people, at best the size of a mobile company, is equipped with four tanks and seven or eight machine guns, and the firepower density is close to the level of a regiment of them.If the empire's army is armed at this level, this battle is simply impossible to fight!

So the commander decisively ordered the retreat and reported his findings to Roako.

Coincidentally, at this time, Luo Yako also just received a military information from abroad. About a week ago, two armies of the Central Military Region of the Sidney Empire rushed to the Far East.Such a large-scale military mobilization would naturally not escape the eyes and ears of spies from various countries, but when the Principality of Sapphire got the news, it was already many days later.

As a result, the combination of several pieces of information allowed Luo Yako to infer an astonishing conclusion-there really is an imperial army riding a face!

In Roako's view, this is a battle that will undoubtedly be defeated. The enemy who comes in can be said to be crushing them in all aspects (the fog), but what he is doing now is trying to stop the enemy. Step forward.

This reminds Luo Yake of an old Dong Qin idiom called "Man's arm is a car."And he was the ridiculous little bug, who seemed so self-conscious.

Facing the almost desperate situation, Luo Yako couldn't help being a little surprised while sitting in the car.At this time, the troops who were building positions outside the vehicle suddenly commotion. Many soldiers hurriedly dropped their tools and ran to nearby trenches and air-raid shelters.

Although Roako was old and his ears were a bit uncomfortable, he was not confused, and immediately understood that this was coming.He hurriedly asked the driver to stop, trying to hide in the air-raid shelter not far away.

However, as soon as the vehicle stopped, a shell fell less than two meters away...

Chapter 330

The shelling of the Marine Brigade lasted about fifteen minutes, and stopped after only half the base.And most of the shells fell on the streets, deliberately avoiding the palace.

Neither Kane nor Dragon expected that these one hundred and eighty rounds could cause much damage to their opponents.

However, what is surprising is that before dawn the next day, the Royal Capital sent people out to request surrender, and there was more than one!

The first group is the representative of the current Grand Duke of Sapphire, hoping to "decently" surrender and enjoy treatment equal to their status after Kaesong.

The second group of people who came after them were more interesting. They claimed to represent the Marquis of Palion, who was the younger brother of the previous Grand Duke of Sapphire.Ask the empire to preside over the axioms for his "orthodox heir", and he is willing to cooperate inside and outside to help them break the city.

The Marquis of Palian claimed in the letter that after the eldest son launched the rebellion, his elder brother's health was deteriorating, while the younger son was unbearable.Therefore, for the sake of the national community, the former Grand Duke prepared to give way to him and then make peace with the Empire.

Unfortunately, this matter was discovered by the princess. The femme-hearted woman first poisoned her husband, and then tampered with the grand duke’s will, and put her useless and unpopular son on the throne. .

After these two groups of people, some messy so-called groups and rebels appeared on the stage. Some wanted to overthrow the tyranny of the Principality, and some were willing to contribute to the empire.

After finally dismissing these little characters, Kane and Dragon looked at each other, feeling a little dumbfounded.

"It's really a tree to fall down!"

"This country is over. It seems that we have been defeated, not just their army."

"Yeah! I thought that to attack a country's capital, there would be a decent battle no matter what, but the result... only half the base was used."

When he thought that he had only used one round of deterrent shelling to scare a city with hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of troops into surrender, Kane felt sincerely incredible.

Out of cautious considerations, Kane did not immediately accept the surrender of the defenders, and did not agree to the conditions of which party forces set out. Instead, he first contacted the headquarters and reported to Howard.

After Howard learned of the situation here, he asked Kane to disarm the city's defenders first, and then disarmed him.

So the Marine Brigade responded the next day and asked the defenders in the city to leave the city in batches and disarm them in regiments. Only the palace can continue to retain a guard of a hundred men.

Such a request is tantamount to letting the live fish to be slaughtered jump onto the cutting board.However, the representatives sent by the Principality did not have the courage to negotiate at all. They hesitated symbolically, and then quickly agreed.

In accordance with the requirements of the Marine Brigade, the city quickly prepared to surrender, and then group after group, obediently lined up out of the city to disarm.

As for the Marine Brigade, there was no slack at all because the other party recognized that they had a good attitude, and they were also prepared outside the city.A special surrender area was designated, and tanks and infantry were lined up on both sides of the road.

All soldiers were loaded with guns and bayonets, standing murderously on both sides of the road, monitoring every move of the surrendering soldiers.

The troops who had surrendered to the First Expenditure City quickly laid down their weapons in the prescribed area, and then were driven empty-handed to a nearby open space and squatted first.

The expressions of these people are different. Some are glad that they finally don't have to go to the battlefield, and some are panicked, seemingly worried about the imperial army's treachery.

After all, they have now put down their weapons and completely reduced to salted fish on the chopping board.As long as the imperial army is willing, the heavy machine guns around the open space can fire at any time, killing them all in minutes!

Fortunately, the frenzied things did not happen, and the Imperial Army did not want to recruit themselves for nothing because of the massacre of prisoners of war and when the war was about to win.

The disarming ceremony lasted all day, and a total of 53,000 soldiers came out of the city.

Although these soldiers are poorly equipped and trained at a very low level, at least the number of them is there, and the Lancer Division can still fight. If they are willing to fight to the death, they can still compete with the Marine Brigade.

However, the old saying goes well, one will be incompetent and exhausted!After the military secretary Luo Yako was accidentally killed, no one in the entire capital was able to come out to preside over the overall situation.As the young new king has no fighting spirit, surrendering naturally becomes a matter of course.

After all the defenders were disarmed, Kane formally accepted the surrender of the Sapphire Principality army. The Prime Minister of the Cabinet replaced the king, signed the surrender agreement, and handed the king's sword symbolizing military power with both hands.

Interestingly, the Prime Minister saw that the imperial officer present was a brigadier general like Kane, subconsciously thought that the imperial side wanted to humiliate himself, and deliberately sent such a guy who was not equal to him.

And Kane didn't know until then that the reason why the principality surrendered so quickly was because his deterrent shelling accidentally killed the Secretary of War.

After the two parties completed the signing ceremony, the Marine Brigade formally occupied the capital of the Sapphire Principality, and Kane directly handed the honor of "First Entry into the City" to the independent regiment of Dragon.

After all, at the beginning of the Far East Campaign, the Independence Group was the first to land ashore, and it fought all over the court. Their contribution is obvious to all, and no one can question it.

And everyone with a discerning eye can see that when this battle is over, Dragon will return to the mainland. In all likelihood, he will be promoted to the rank of general. Even if he is very young and not of a noble origin, he can’t stand the real military merits. , And there are always "nobles" to help.

As soon as his original backer, Henry, died, he was immediately thrown an olive branch by a big boss, and a big prince Philavi and the other was a five-star general Howard. The identities of these two were better than the other.

With their help linking together, Dragon can follow the "son-in-law" routine most commonly used by civilian officers, marrying a general's daughter as his wife, and the original invisible ceiling will disappear immediately.

In this case, the leader of the two regiments of 771 and 772 hadn't had time to get along with Dragon, and it was even more impossible to trouble him.

Therefore, the independent regiment entered the capital of the duke as the first victor. The barricade on the main road was ordered to be removed by the empire, allowing the tank to open unimpeded until the gate of the palace.Then, in the presence of the last remaining armed guard, the imperial flag was planted on their gates.

Sitting on the tank, Dragon looked at the flying flags and the cheering Marines around him, with a smile on his face.

This damn Far Eastern War is finally over!

Chapter 331

With the imperial army occupying the capital and forcing the current regime of the Sapphire Principality to sign the surrender agreement, the Far Eastern War has at least legally ended.

The entire battlefield went from north to south. First, the Marine Brigade captured the capital of the enemy country, and then several main divisions launched a full-line counterattack on the Rainbow River, which forced the Union Army and the rebel groups into a two-front battle.

The first and second legions from the mainland also arrived in Tarrance at this time.With these hundreds of thousands of well-equipped and well-trained fresh forces, Howard is confident that any enemy can make compromises.

The news soon notified all parties that Howard asked for a second meeting, but this time, the Empire can be said to have an absolute advantage!

Faced with the almost desperate situation, the unwilling Grand Prince once pinned his hopes on the Federation and Eastern Qin.
