Macho Wars

However, the commander of the Federal Forces expressed regret that his country had rejected his request for additional troops.

The big figures in the thirteen state assemblies felt that they had invested enough resources for this war. If the scale of the war is further expanded, the Federation will have to enter a state of first-level combat readiness and activate the reserve forces.They haven't been righteous enough to fight a full-scale war with the empire for a little brother country.

As for the Eastern Qin Kingdom, there is no hope.

In desperation, the eldest son had to agree to start the second meeting and sat down at the negotiating table obediently.

At this point, the war has completely shifted from military combat to cultural combat. Soldiers can sit down and take a good rest, watching diplomats and negotiators show their fists.

The King of Sapphire is here. After the Marines took over the city, they occupied the palace grandiosely and placed all members of the royal family under house arrest in the back garden of the castle.

It is worth mentioning that the first thing the brigade commander Kane took to the gate of the palace was to stand on the bridge and pee into the moat in front of the members of the royal family and ministers.

The expressions of the people on the Principality side at that time were the same as the pee on their faces.

After the entire city was occupied, the Marine Corps immediately sent people to check the state treasury and material reserves in the city.

Because according to the Empire’s "War Code", the first troops to invade the enemy’s capital will be entitled to 20% of the enemy’s treasury as a reward.

However, the result was disappointing for the Marines. When they rushed into the vault happily, it could almost be described as "empty."

Under the leadership of the officer, the angry soldiers quickly arrested the manager of a vault and asked where the money went.Was it transferred to another place?

Facing more than a dozen black hole muzzles, the poor cashier almost peeed his pants in shock.

In order to survive, he could only bring a pile of thick account books with a sad face, explain to these soldiers, and pray in his heart that they can understand.

It turned out that the Principality of Sapphire has been living beyond its means for the past two years, and its deficit is very serious.More than 70% of the money in the national treasury was spent on war.

Although this situation improved briefly after Tarrans was captured, the Imperial Army hit the door before they could recover their blood through the exploitation of the occupied area.

In today's Principality's treasury, not only can it not take out a single copper plate, but it also owes a small amount of foreign debt. The entire national government is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The great opportunity to make a fortune is now dashed, and the soldiers of the Marine Brigade are naturally unwilling to give up.The long-term combat under the harsh environment has long allowed these soldiers to accumulate a lot of hostility. Coupled with the fact that they are in the occupied area, they will inevitably have some evil thoughts in their hearts.

Fortunately, Dragon found out in time, as soon as the signs of misconduct emerged, he led people to rectify the military discipline, and then this unhealthy trend was contained.

of course!Simply relying on blocking is not enough.

Dragon knew exactly what his group of big-head soldiers were, and his ideological consciousness was far from the "People's Army".If you really give them the "three disciplines and eight principles" now, these guys are afraid that they will not want to rebel every minute.

Therefore, while restraining his subordinates and prohibiting them from bullying the local civilians, he also personally led a wave of local nobles to force these big dogs to bleed.

When ordinary people saw that these imperial troops not only did not oppress the civilians, but also distributed food to them, they also severely taught the noble masters who used to dominate their heads in the past.

In this way, thousands of people in the Marine Brigade waited for several days and finally waited for the final result of the negotiations.

With heavy troops and a great victory, the empire forced the Principality of Sapphire to sign a series of unequal treaties that humiliated the country.

According to this treaty, the Principality of Sapphire must return all occupied territories to the Kingdom of Tarrans after unconditional surrender, and ceded Redstone Port as compensation.The remaining land is divided into three, the southern part is given to the eldest son, the northern part and the capital are given to the younger son, and the northwest is given to the Marquis of Palian.

In addition, the Principality must pay a huge sum of war reparations to the Tarrans Kingdom and the Empire, which will be shared by the three countries after the split.

As for how the three countries will share the total debt of 250 million, that is their own business.

It is worth mentioning that the Redstone Port ceded to the Kingdom of Tarrance was directly leased to the Empire by the Royal Government on the second day of the negotiation.

The imperial military plans to use it as a military port. In the future, it will send a naval squadron and about five thousand ground troops to achieve a long-term presence in the Far East.

Regarding these conditions put forward by the empire, the Sapphire Principality, which has been reduced to a defeated war, naturally has no right to refuse and can only obediently accept the fate of division.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Federation believed that the war had no value for continued investment and should stop the loss in time, so it also chose to agree.

Dong Qin's attitude is more intriguing, and the other party's representative seems happy to see the division of the Sapphire Principality.

As for the small Far East countries that make up the coalition forces, no one cares about their views and opinions.The Empire did not offer them any actual compensation, nor did they sign any written armistice agreement.

This means that the empire has deliberately retained the "warring" state and can beat them at any time in the future.

After this meeting, the Sapphire Principality and the short-lived "Sapphire Kingdom" have completely become history.Although the rulers of the three small countries after the split are all relatives, they regard each other as enemies.

In the foreseeable future, these three countries, which are burdened with huge war reparations, will inevitably have disputes for various reasons.It's not even possible to get along in harmony, let alone reunification.

Peace is still far away for them!

Chapter 332

The war finally ended. According to the agreement signed by both parties, the Marine Brigade must leave the capital of the "Second Sapphire Principality" within three days.

And the 50,000 prisoners who surrendered before, after eleven days of fright, took back their own weapons and equipment, and once again armed them as soldiers.

The generals of the Principality looked complicated. They already knew the details of the Marine Corps. The opponent did not have a group army, only 8,000.Before the fall of the capital, the defenders in the city were six times theirs.

The fight in this battle is so embarrassing to be speechless!

In accordance with the order of the Expeditionary Force Command, the Marines must first go to Redstone Harbor, where they will be stationed for a short period of about a week, and the Eighth Infantry Division of the Native First Corps will go there to take their place.

Before the troop set off, Dragon gathered all the battalion first-level officers under him, conveyed their superiors instructions, and then specifically stopped Frank when the meeting ended.

Throughout the Battle of the Far East, Frank, as a member of the independent regiment, followed Dragon to the full, and performed very well in several tough battles, winning him the appreciation of his superiors and the respect of his comrades.

Therefore, after Jack was promoted to lieutenant colonel and transferred to the position of deputy commander of the regiment, Frank succeeded him and became the acting battalion commander of the Second Infantry Battalion.

"How is it? Are you still used to being a battalion leader?"

"Sergeant Chief Chiff is helping me, no problem at all, sir."

"That's good, you can continue to be the battalion commander, Major Abanel."

As Dragon said, he took a small dark box from his pocket and threw it over.Frank took a look. It was a golden empire emblem.

The last time Frank saw something similar was at the award ceremony of the military school graduation ceremony.

"Sir, I..."

"This is what you deserve. Unfortunately, the Medal of Meritorious Service has not been awarded, so I have to wait two more days for that."

Dragon smiled and patted Frank on the shoulder, then opened the box and put on his new epaulettes with his own hands.

Regarding Frank's promotion, Jack, a direct superior, first proposed it first, and then Dragon submitted a related report to the legion superior.

Everyone in the regiment can see the growth of this young junior in the battle.Therefore, after Dragoon’s report was posted, it was quickly approved.

In fact, not only Frank, but the Independence Regiment has fought several battles, but all the officers who survived are actually qualified for promotion in terms of military merit. Dragon also treated them equally and helped them all submit applications.But unfortunately, only one Frank was approved.

There is no other reason for this result, just because of birth.

You must know that Frank's father is a marquis who holds an important position in the imperial capital. Although he is not the eldest son, at least there is a family behind him.
