Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 488 Chapter 488 World War
The speed of information dissemination in this world is no longer so slow. With the new means of communication such as the telegraph, many people can receive news from afar in the first place.

The news that the Frost Empire launched a war against a small kingdom next to it was already known to everyone in the world the next day.

Many countries are aware that the possible impact of this war will spread to the entire world!

Before, because of economic pressure, all countries wanted to fight a war to transfer conflicts and alleviate their own problems.

However, with the arrival of the Datang Group's order, many countries dispelled such dangerous thoughts, so the cloud of war also dissipated for the time being.

However, as the Ice Empire started a new war, the atmosphere in the whole world became turbulent once again.

The Nanla Empire, which already had a vast territory, suddenly attacked south, starting a new round of expansion war.

This time, the opponent chosen by the Nanla Empire was also a little-known small kingdom. This kingdom's combat effectiveness was not strong, and it didn't even have a few machine guns.

The Nanla Empire almost used the same tactics as the Ice Empire to kick off the war. On the night of the spring, the Nanla Empire's airship troops directly raided the capital of the kingdom.

The opponent was unprepared, and because of the bombing of the royal city, the whole line collapsed that day, and the power of the new war machine was displayed in front of the whole world. For a while, the airship became the most popular topic of concern.

The Kingdom of Susas, which had prepared a large number of airships before, was at ease this time, and used a crazier war to show everyone the terrifying face of "future war".

The Kingdom of Susus attacked its neighbor to the north, and on the day after the attack began, the Sussus airship force dispatched 50 Kirov airships, loaded with bombs, and raided the hapless neighbor.

It took only one day for this unlucky neighbor in the north to collapse. They lost their transport railways, their arsenal was blown up, and almost all their potential for war was wiped out, so they chose to surrender decently the next day. .

As soon as the air force appeared on the battlefield, it showed its powerful combat effectiveness. It was easier than ever to destroy and destroy industrial cities, and it also made people fully understand how fragile their rear was.

The war in the Frost Empire is still going on, and the war to expand the Nanla Empire has just begun. The Kingdom of Susas, which has more than 70 huge airship troops, has already annexed a country, which makes everyone envious.

It was only today that everyone realized that the money spent by the Kingdom of Susas on the construction of airship troops was not wasted!It can even be said that the value for money is simply excellent.

It took down a nearby kingdom without losing a single soldier. This is simply a new miracle in the history of war, and it is also the first time in the history of the world that the air force has decided the outcome of a war!
But then Tang Mo received bad news: the civil war between the trade alliances that he didn't want to see finally broke out.

In other words, on the 15th day after the outbreak of the three local wars, the real world war... broke out completely.

The Poplar Kingdom suddenly attacked its neighbor, the Pine Kingdom, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides on the border.

It is completely different from the previous wars between countries. This time, the civil war between the elves can be said to be a true modern war between two industrial countries that have basically completed the industrial revolution!

Both sides deployed large deep trench defenses on the border, and at the same time strengthened their artillery units.Although the poplar kingdom has an advantage in terms of total force, the pine kingdom has a passive defense blessing.

In addition, the two are evenly matched in terms of artillery firepower. The Yangmu Kingdom deployed 500 cannons, and the Pinewood Kingdom had 450 artillery pieces on the border to fight, and the two sides fought back and forth.

What is even more shocking is that when the Poplar Kingdom started the war, it imitated the tactical warfare of the Frost Kingdom and the Susas Kingdom, sending airships to try to attack the rear industrial facilities of the Pine Kingdom.

The result was unexpected. The airship attack tactics that had been tried and tested several times before did not work this time, because the Pinewood Kingdom had anti-aircraft guns they purchased and produced by themselves!
The Pinewood Kingdom, which has seen the power of airships in the expansion war of the Ice Empire and the Kingdom of Susas, is naturally more careful.

They deployed anti-aircraft guns in cities close to the border and within the range of the airship in advance, so when the airship of the Yangmu Kingdom launched an attack, they were greeted with artillery fire all over the sky!
The airship troop of the Poplar Kingdom, which was put into actual combat, suffered heavy losses in an instant. The 20 airships never returned, and all of them were shot down.

However, these airships were not completely useless. They were full of ammunition and fell into the city, which still caused a lot of trouble for the Pinewood Kingdom.

Subsequently, the Pinewood Kingdom retaliated, and their airship troops attacked the border city of the Poplarwood Kingdom a few days later, but also suffered heavy losses.

The scattered airship unit did not complete the bombing mission, 7 airships never returned, and the remaining three barely returned.Their bombing results were limited, but the Yangmu Kingdom's anti-aircraft artillery units were proud once.

This airship battle proved to the whole world that airship tactics are not indefensible, and fragile aerial bombing machines are not actually invincible.

The use of several rounds of airships has also taught the world a lesson: correct use of expensive war weapons is the only way to gain an advantage, but wrong command will only waste expensive high-tech equipment in turn.

At the same time, all countries have also seen the strength of the multi-layer trench defense system supported by powerful artillery firepower.

It effectively helped the pine kingdom, which was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, withstand the attack of the powerful poplar kingdom, and at the same time effectively reduced losses and preserved its vitality.

In particular, the permanent fortifications made of concrete are simply killing machines fixed on the ground. The countless bunkers are like the blades in a meat grinder, devouring the blood of the attackers.

After fighting fiercely for 3 days without any achievements, and finding that it was impossible to break through the border defense line, the Yangmu Kingdom had to change its tactics.

The navy of the poplar kingdom moved south quickly, blockading the port of the pine kingdom, trying to force the navy of the pine kingdom to fight, and seize the opportunity to seize the dominance of the sea.

Not to be outdone, the Pinewood Kingdom's navy immediately assembled its main fleet and launched a fierce battle with the main force of the Poplarwood Kingdom's fleet in its own sea.

This naval battle is called: Yangsong naval battle, it is the first modern naval battle in the true sense!Interestingly, Datang Group is the developer, designer and manufacturer of new weapons in this world. As a result, the new weapons in this world are put into actual combat for the first time, and it seems that they have nothing to do with Datang Group.

During the Yangsong naval battle, the Yangmu Kingdom dispatched 3 Bunas-class ironclad ships, 7 simplified destroyers manufactured by the Datang Group, and 9 new destroyers manufactured by Cyric.

In the fleet facing the Pinewood Kingdom, there are also 3 Bunas-class ironclad ships, 13 Datang destroyers, and 33 sailing warships.

The outbreak of the naval battle was very dramatic. The Poplar Kingdom's fleet had already missed the main force of the Pinewood Kingdom's navy, but they later discovered 33 Pinewood Kingdom sailing warships that had been out of touch because of their slow speed.

Seeing the fat, the Yangmu Kingdom's fleet naturally couldn't let go of this huge fleet of sailing warships, and immediately launched an attack.

The main fleet of the Pinewood Kingdom, which also missed the enemy ship, immediately turned around and entered the battlefield from behind.

As a result, the Yangmu Kingdom's fleet, which was clearly superior in numbers and firepower, was in a bad formation, and the inferior Pinewood Kingdom's fleet found the enemy's flaws by mistake.

Both sides are steel warships, and it is difficult to sink the other side immediately to achieve results. Except for the loss of dozens of wooden sailing ships in the Pinewood Kingdom, the naval battle was once at a stalemate.

However, as the battle continued, losses inevitably occurred.A new-style destroyer produced by Cyric in the Poplar Kingdom was bitten and sunk, becoming the first new-style warship to be sunk in the world.

Immediately afterwards, the Yangmu Kingdom began to forcibly adjust their formation to face the Pinewood Kingdom's fleet that entered the battlefield from the rear—for this, they paid the price of being sunk by another warship.

Relying on the advantages of having more warships and larger artillery calibers, the Yangmu Kingdom regained the initiative after losing two warships.

The distance between the fleets kept getting closer, and the bombardment gradually became crazy. Afterwards, warships on both sides were shot and caught fire. Many warships were hit and slowed down, and even began to roll.

After sinking two new Cyric destroyers, the Pinewood Kingdom also sank a destroyer produced by Datang.

After finally leveling the number of warships to a comparable level, the morale of the Pinewood Kingdom's navy was greatly boosted, but they soon realized that there was a big gap between their own and the enemy's firepower.

The firepower configuration of Cyric's destroyers is obviously higher. Although the defense power is average, relying on more artillery, the combat power is obviously stronger.

After all, this kind of destroyer was developed after targeting Datang Group's simplified destroyer, and it is certain that it will be more targeted in terms of performance.

As the battle time continued to prolong, the navy of the Pinewood Kingdom gradually began to be overwhelmed.Soon they had two warships seriously flooded and had to withdraw from the battle sequence.

The desperate Pinewood Kingdom naval commander decided to take the lead in changing formation and concentrated firepower to attack a Bunas-class ironclad ship that was advancing ahead of the enemy, hoping to regain the advantage.

Then the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle around this ironclad ship, and finally the Bunas-class ironclad machine of the Poplar Kingdom was sunk.

However, the Pinewood Kingdom also paid a heavy price for two destroyers in order to sink the ironclad ship.

The sky gradually darkened, and the Poplar Kingdom's fleet, which already had the upper hand, withdrew from the battle first, fearing that something might happen in the night.

During the fierce battle this afternoon, they lost 3 Cyric destroyers, 2 Datang destroyers, and a Bunas-class battleship was sunk.

And their opponent, the Pinewood Kingdom, was also having a hard time. During the battle, 6 Datang destroyers were sunk, and another 20 sailing warships were lost. It can be said that the loss was heavy.

However, after this naval battle, the Yangmu Kingdom failed to realize its strategic intention to wipe out the Pinewood Kingdom's naval fleet. At the same time, because of its own losses, it was no longer able to block the Pinewood Kingdom's ports.

The navies of both sides were afraid of further losses, and they did not gather and dispatch on a large scale for a long time to come.Both sides only occasionally sent one or two warships to sneak attack on several enemy transport ships and fishing boats, and the results were very limited.It is more appropriate to say that it is revenge rather than breaking the war.

Just when the war between the Poplar Kingdom and the Pine Kingdom was at a stalemate, and Tang Mo was about to come forward to persuade the two countries to strike peace and maintain the internal harmony of the trade alliance, the Kingdom of Galles joined the war.

After the Pine Kingdom withstood the pressure of the Poplar Kingdom, the Kingdom of Galles declared war on the Poplar Kingdom and announced an alliance with the Pine Kingdom half a month after the Yangsong War broke out.

The Poplar Kingdom, which originally had an advantage, fell into a passive situation of fighting on two fronts in an instant.John's father had to withdraw and return to the king's city, and once again mobilized an army of 10 to fight the orc army.The original attack on the Pinewood Kingdom turned into a two-sided defense in an instant.

As a result, something even more miraculous happened: the orc army attacked the border of the Poplar Kingdom, but was also held back by the border defense line, the attack was blocked, and the three-day onslaught was fruitless.

At the same time, feeling that the time had come, the enemy fell into the unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts, and the Pinewood Kingdom also launched a counterattack on the border of the Yangmu Kingdom.

Then they also discovered that the countless bunker trenches and barbed wire fences on the border of the Poplar Kingdom could not be chewed.

After two days of onslaught and the loss of thousands of troops, the Kingdom of Pinewood, the Kingdom of Poplar, and the Kingdom of Galles all gave up their futile offensive battles, and instead began the long "World War I Mode" of digging trenches and waiting for the enemy to throw themselves into the net. .

For a while, there was nothing anyone could do about it, and everyone was unwilling to shake hands and make peace easily, so a miraculous scene appeared: the gunfire continued on the border, but there were hardly any soldiers attacking.

Just when everyone thought that this melee was over, the Lions Empire suddenly declared war on the Dorne Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Dorne then declared war on the Empire of Lyons - the rupture between the two sides suddenly caused the entire trade alliance to exist in name only.

Instigated by Cyric, the Kingdom of Goblin also joined the war.They declared war on the Dorne Kingdom and formed an alliance with the Lions Empire, which instantly made the relationship between forces in this war more complicated and confusing.

Because everyone knows that the Lions Empire has always been a staunch ally of the Datang Group in the trade alliance, but now this ally has formed an alliance with the Goblin Kingdom, which obviously has the shadow of the Cyric Consortium...

Such a change made Tang Mo, who was about to calm down the situation, take back his hand.He really wanted to see how his group of allies could make this civil war... what it looked like.
