Chapter 1175: A New World (The End!)

"Your Majesty, the internal combustion engine is ready."

On this day, Zhao Xu was reviewing war reports as usual.

Over the past few months, in the direction of Ross, the Great Song Coalition had successfully captured all the territory of Bolan.

But when moving south into Prussia, they encountered stubborn resistance, and it was likely they would spend some time exhausting themselves in Prussia.

As for the direction of Persia, the Tusman Empire, whose weapons were already very backward, was retreating steadily before the Coalition.

Other small countries in Zhongtu took the opportunity to rebel and one after another threw their support to the Persian side; the defeat of the Tusman Empire was only a matter of time.

As for the direction of the Dark Continent, with the cooperation of the navy, the Vermilion Bird Army swept through the local colonial legions.

Because the defenses of the Xitu Guo were weakest there.

Their main strength was still in the directions of Ross and Tusman.

After driving away the local colonial legions, the Vermilion Bird Army organized and established supply points, allowing the navy to sail to even more distant places.

And in the direction of the Sam Country, the progress of the Indian Nation was also good.

They united more Indians, formed Indian guerrilla units to move eastward, and raided the Colonial Territory of the Sam Country.

After controlling the west, they began to establish supply points to facilitate the advance of the Great Song army to the east.

It is estimated that in another year, the Azure Dragon Army and the Indian Nation would be able to launch a general offensive.

"Great!" Zhao Xu was overjoyed.

After the Xitu Guo declared war, he had increased his attention to the Research Institute, hoping that the internal combustion engine could be unveiled sooner.

Because the current war situation required a weapon of absolute superiority to destroy the last of the Westerners' confidence.

Warfare is a major matter of the state.

Long-term foreign wars, even counter-insurgency operations, would consume a vast amount of national power.

After calculations by the Cabinet, they believed that Great Song could only support five years of expeditionary warfare.

Exceeding five years would cause damage to the economy of Great Song.

In other words, he had to win this war quickly.

He certainly wanted victory, but he did not want the lives of the Great Song people, which had improved over these years, to regress to the state they were in when he first arrived at his fief.

Rising and coming to Wang Chong's side, he said, "Put it into production immediately; whether we can end the war as soon as possible depends on you all."

Wang Chong's expression became solemn, and he said, "Your Majesty, this subject understands. Even if we do not eat, drink, or sleep, we will provide the new sharp weapon for the Great Song army as soon as possible."

Zhao Xu nodded and patted Wang Chong's shoulder heavily.

Leaving the Imperial Study, Wang Chong immediately mobilized all the strength of the Research Institute to mass-produce the internal combustion engine with the cooperation of all the industrial power of Great Song.

London.

Compared to Zhao Xu's strategic planning, the atmosphere here was even more solemn.

Since the war began, all they had received were reports of bad news.

Today they lost thirty thousand men, tomorrow they lost sixty thousand men.

Their defensive lines were also being constantly compressed, losing more and more territory.

But they had no choice; they could only bite the bullet and continuously throw new recruits into the battlefield.

Moreover, the training time for newly recruited soldiers was becoming shorter and shorter.

At the same time, they were also facing immense pressure on the economy.

The prosperity of the Western world was built on colonization.

But for some time now, the strikes by the Great Song army had made it impossible for them to obtain supplies from the colonies anymore.

The fact that all materials produced by society were poured into the war caused the prices of all kinds of daily necessities to soar.

In many places, people were even starving to death.

Britain was like this, and other countries were much the same.

At this time, diplomats frequently traveled between countries to pass information.

But even so, Ashley did not regret her decision.

In the world of the Angsa, there are only winners and losers.

And she did not want to be a loser!

She had already published her own handwritten letter in the London Newspaper, demanding that Britain fight to the last person.

In this anxious, uneasy, and angry atmosphere of war, time passed.

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

The situation in all of Britain was becoming increasingly dire.

The supply of new recruits was gradually becoming insufficient, and more and more young and strong men were unwilling to go to the battlefield.

They had to resort to arrests,

and forced conscription.

And what was most fatal was that their supplies were becoming increasingly scarce.

Starving to death and freezing to death had become commonplace.

A year ago, they could still obtain some supplies from the colonies.

But recently, they could no longer obtain anything at all.

Because the Great Song army had already swept through the colonial legions of the Dark Continent and controlled it.

It was another beautiful, sunny morning.

To boost morale, Ashley went to the Pier in person today, preparing to see off a Warship full of new recruits heading to Frank.

The front line between Ross and Great Song had already crossed Prussia during this year, and Frank had become the battlefield.

The situation in the Tusman Empire is also very dire; their diplomats have not come for a long time.

Under some encouragement.

The Sailing Warship of Britain hoisted its sails and set off toward Frank.

Ailisi watched the warship, her mood complex.

Just at this moment, a sound like muffled thunder rang out, and the Sailing Warship currently in transit instantly turned into a ball of Flame.

Ashley almost screamed out loud.

After the accompanying officers panicked, their gazes instinctively scanned the ocean.

At this time, they discovered a trail of black smoke appearing in the distance.

As the black smoke became clearer, a black warship appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"That is the Ironclad Warship of Great Song!" a naval general said, almost in despair.

During this period, the Great Song army had been establishing supply points in the Dark Continent.

Now, Great Song's warships were finally able to reach Britain with the support of the supply points.

Ashley's face turned ashen; she understood very clearly.

From this moment on, Britain had completely lost control of the ocean.

And at this moment, Zhou Yi on the Ironclad Warship revealed a cold, stern smile.

Just as the British officers had thought.

The war had been going on for nearly two years now.

They finally had the capability to sail in the Atlantic waters.

Next, they would execute a blockade mission, waiting for the arrival of the ultimate trump card.

Regardless of whether it was for him or for their Emperor, this war should be entering its final stages.

……

Great Song, a certain base west of Yancheng.

With a "hum," a Monoplane streaked past him and took off.

One after another, several more planes ascended into the sky.

These planes were the weapons of war created by Great Song after the mass production of the Internal Combustion Engine.

Produced simultaneously with the planes was Great Song's first model of Tank.

He had just come out of the tank training ground and arrived here.

Up to this point, Great Song already possessed seventy-two planes and one hundred and twenty Tanks.

This was the result of Great Song's industrial power concentrating its strength.

Of course, these planes and Tanks were only the first batch of trial-produced products.

They were also a batch of products brought for urgent use.

Subsequently, Great Song would soon possess the capability for mass production.

After inspecting these planes and Tanks, Zhao Xu formally issued the order to depart to the pilots and tank drivers.

They would head to the Western Lands war, laying the final foundation for the victory of the war.

He believed that when the Westerners saw the planes and Tanks, their confidence would collapse.

And these planes and Tanks would travel west all the way through land supply points, finally arriving at the battlefield in the direction of Ross.

One month later, this batch of planes and Tanks arrived according to plan.

On the battlefield, the Ross soldiers and Black Tortoise Army soldiers gasped when they saw them.

"I didn't expect that while we were fighting, you all were making a big move in the rear," Yang Zhen laughed and said, "It's perfect; today we encountered some trouble while attacking, so you can give us a demonstration."

The Commander of the tank troops acknowledged the order, then spoke to Yang Zhen about some techniques for infantry-tank coordination.

Yang Zhen immediately organized the soldiers to prepare for a counterattack.

Before long, amidst a roaring sound, one Tank after another charged toward the opposing trenches.

Great Song soldiers moved forward behind the Tanks.

Under the heavy armor of the Tanks, the firepower of the Frankish soldiers was completely ineffective.

The Great Song soldiers soon approached the trenches.

The Frankish soldiers were terrified.

When had they ever seen this thing?

The defensive line was breached, and large numbers of Frankish soldiers finally could not bear it and fled in defeat one after another.

Yang Zhen was greatly encouraged and immediately led the troops with the Ross general to pursue them directly.

Along this route, under the cover of the Tanks, they advanced smoothly, capturing one key point after another.

On the very day they arrived in Paris, a Frankish officer walked out from within the city holding a white flag.

At the same time, white flags were raised in various places throughout the city.

The appearance of the Tanks shattered the last shred of the Frankish people's confidence.

Once Frank surrendered, it immediately triggered a chain reaction.

Located in the south, Folangji and Yiluo Guo surrendered one after another.

They were not as wealthy as Frank or Britain to begin with, and they had been merely holding on for so long during the war.

Frank had surrendered; did they still have a reason to resist?

"Only Britain remains; this will require using another Weapon." After Frank surrendered, the Ross army and the Black Tortoise Army entered the city and took over all locations.

Yang Zhen immediately ordered the soldiers to level the ground and establish an airfield.

Three days later, all the planes from Great Song landed.

At this time, the news of the Frank surrender had already reached London.

Britain, under the blockade of Great Song, suffered yet another heavy blow.

However, they had not yet had time to react.

At noon the next day, amidst a roaring sound, one large bird after another flew over the sky of Lun Dun.

These large birds dropped black objects one after another.

Not until these black objects exploded and London turned into a sea of fire did Ashley realize this was yet another new type of Weapon from Great Song.

Looking at London burning in the raging fire, Ashley shed tears.

That evening, she announced her surrender.

The World War that had lasted for two years finally came to an end with the victory of Great Song.

Two months later, Ashley and the monarchs of other Xitu Guo traveled to Great Song in the capacity of defeated nations.

They signed the peace treaty in Yancheng.

In the treaty, regarding military aspects, they would be restricted in the development of their armies.

Regarding economic aspects, they would unconditionally open their markets to Great Song and simultaneously accept the Song Yuan as the currency for settlement.

The treaty was signed.

Zhao Xu took a group photo with the kings of the vassal states and the monarchs of the victorious nations who had come to observe the ceremony.

The victory in this World War undoubtedly established the unshakable status of Great Song.

For the next several hundred years, Great Song would remain at the pinnacle of the world.

For every person of Great Song, they had arrived in a new world!
