Chapter 587 Deceiving Ottoman and Rakshasa
Once the war operation to conquer Europa was confirmed, the entire Ming Empire began intense preparations.
Considering that Europa is a powerful country, and the Ming Dynasty occupied Europa to directly rule the region, the number of troops needed was more than 200,000.
Zhu Youxiao personally issued an order, immediately recruiting 600,000 retired officers and soldiers and young people to join the army, and organizing 600,000 new troops, totaling 800,000 army, 400,000 navy, 50,000 air force and artillery units.
Once the war mission is confirmed, the state machinery of the entire empire will start to operate at high speed again.
The orders for a large number of war resources were successively issued from the Ministry of Industry to various manufacturing bureaus, institutes and workshops, from the most basic cotton cloth and grain procurement to the procurement of guns, ammunition, medicine, etc.
It was suddenly like a dose of cardiotropic injected into the huge blood vessels of the Ming Dynasty, blooming with new vitality.
Countless white pigs were whipped to work overtime. After the popularity of electric lights, night work had already begun, and it had been extended from the first eight hours to twelve hours.
A large number of newly developed weapons were successively equipped with troops, and the Jinyiwei once again infiltrated into Europe on a large scale.
The Ministry of Revenue, major foreign trade companies and coastal governors, are making friction with the Western Federation, to find excuses for war to attack Europa.
The poor Europa countries are now powerless to compete with the Ming Dynasty. In order not to anger the Ming Dynasty, they can only endure it again and again.
However, the Europa countries did not know that the Ming Dynasty had made clear its actions to destroy them. In their opinion, they still hoped to remain content with the other side of the Atlantic without provoking this powerful empire.
At present, the Ming Dynasty's upcoming military operation to conquer Europa is still top secret. Except for the important officials of the court, almost no one knows it, and even Galileo, who was devoted to researching it, did not know it.
It is precisely because of this that many nobles from the Western Apostles still experience life in the Ming Dynasty ignorantly and worship everything here.
However, through the increasingly arrogant and domineering actions of the Ming Empire, some smarter people in the Western countries felt the crisis.
Florence has begun to have frequent contact with the red-haired ghost, and France has also sent envoys to secretly communicate with England.
However, these Europa countries were very weak and did not dare to contact them openly, for fear of angering the Ming Empire.
But the Ming Empire was still angry, and Wen Tiren blurted out in front of the envoy of Folangji, calling them ignorant of their ruthlessness and intending to oppose the Ming Dynasty.
The messenger of Folangji could only admit his mistakes obediently, and he could only swallow his grievances and resentment.
In the summer of the 43rd year of the Apocalypse, the first batch of troops to march into Europe began to set off. This group of troops was composed of the Third Army and the Seventh Army, led by the veteran Fu Dahai, and first brought a large number of food and supplies to Dongyuan Prefecture.
The so-called Dongyuan Prefecture is the title of the Ming Dynasty. It was called Doria before that, just separated from Romania by the Black Sea, and next to Romania is Italy.
Now, to the north of the Black Sea is the Rakshasa Kingdom, to the west of the Black Sea are the Europa countries, and to the south of the Black Sea is the Ottoman Empire, and the East Yuan Prefecture is just a narrow area mixed between these three forces.
After more than 200,000 advance troops arrived at Dongyuan Prefecture, the first thing that was nervous was the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire.
The Ottoman Empire was fine. Although this regional power across Europe and Asia exposed dissatisfaction with the expansion of the Ming Empire, it did not show much fear. It only strengthened its vigilance and transferred the troops confronting Europa to one after another.
The Rakshasa Kingdom was already scared by the Ming Empire, and its most elite Cossack cavalry are now gone. Therefore, when the Ming advance army arrived at Dongyuan Prefecture, the Rakshasa Kingdom was busy dispatching troops to strengthen defense while giving generous gifts and beautiful women bribing the veteran general Fu Dahai to find out the reason why the Ming Dynasty suddenly increased its troops.
On the contrary, Romania and Italy, which are only separated by the Black Sea, have not yet aroused their alarm, and they even breathed a sigh of relief.
Because in their opinion, the next move of the Ming Empire is probably to conquer the Ottoman Empire or the Rakshasa Kingdom first.
The short-sighted Roman Catholic Church and other Europa countries have always had deep conflicts with these two countries due to their differences in religious beliefs, especially with the Ottoman Empire. Now that the Ottoman Empire has dispatched troops to defend, its troops on the Obalkans have dropped sharply, and there is even the idea of taking the opportunity to counterattack the Ottoman Empire.
Fu Dahai was the only surviving general among the early officers of the Royal Military Academy, His Majesty Zhu Youjiao, who was still alive. Qin Botong and Chang Yanling have passed away due to many years of injuries.
Only Fu Dahai is still alive, but among the early officers, the most unclean person was Fu Dahai. When he attacked Japan, the Third Army was full of evil deeds. Fu Dahai had more women from all ethnic groups in his mansion than Zhu Youxiao.
This lustful and careless Fu Dahai was the longest-lived officer in the early stage of his life, which only shows that this person has a strong gene.
The fat Fu Dahai held the foreign horse offered by the Rakshasa Kingdom and ate it. He accepted the bribe from the Rakshasa Kingdom without any hesitation, and also said directly: "Your Majesty did not ask us to beat anyone. Your Majesty just asked us to collect money. Your Majesty planned to build a road that spans tens of thousands of miles from the capital to Dongyuan. The money for the road construction has not yet been settled. So Your Majesty said that you dynasties have to donate money, and whoever donates less will be beaten. The Ottoman Empire has donated two million silver dollars."
When Rakshasa Kingdom heard this, he hurriedly donated three million silver dollars, and Fu Dahai also got three million silver dollars and a group of beauties for this.
The second batch arrived at the 12th Army and the 9th Army led by General Jiao Lian. Before the expansion of the Ming Army, both armies were the foundation of the Second Army's cavalry, so now these two armies are also cavalry.
However, Jiao Lian received the order Hanchuan Prefecture, which is now in Tbilisi, which is close to the Ottoman Empire, but there is a great road here leading directly to Romania.
If the entrance is unobstructed, Jiao Lian's cavalry can rush into Italy within a few days.
The Ottoman Empire was indeed panicked. What the hell is it that more than 400,000 troops appeared next to it, and at the same time, Europa was also ready to move.
Therefore, the Ottoman Empire had to suspect that Europa and the Ming Empire had made some private transactions, so they hurriedly sent envoys to find Fu Dahai.
Fu Dahai told the Ottoman Empire that it was indeed Italy that wanted to unite the Ming Dynasty to jointly draw the Ottoman Empire, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not make up his final decision. If the Ottoman Empire could fund the construction fee of 2 million silver dollars in Asia, the Ming Empire would believe that the Ottoman Empire was a more worthy partner and was willing to work with the Ottoman Empire to deal with Europa.
Although the Ottoman Empire was not satisfied with the Ming Dynasty, it did not want the Ming Dynasty to invest in Europa, so it had to take out the money.
