On the tenth day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Gaia, just as the entire world was plunged into an ongoing chaotic war, an inconspicuous piece of news caught Ouyang Shuo's attention.
At ten in the morning, the Dawson Dynasty and the Dark Night Empire issued a joint declaration, formally forming a trading partnership.
The Dark Night Empire, which had been dormant for several months, finally took its first step into global affairs.
It wasn't surprising at all that the Dark Night Empire had chosen the Dawson Dynasty as their partner. Due to the location of the Motherland, the sea route between the Dark Night Empire and the Dawson Dynasty was even shorter than the Atlantic Ocean route.
As the two sides began to engage in trade, it meant that the crystallization of the Motherland's civilization would flow into the Dawson Dynasty.
With the support of the Dawson Dynasty, the Dark Night Empire grew more and more confident. In the past few days, they had been constantly sending out fleets to harass the southern coast of the Grand Xia Dynasty.
The Southern Border Protectorate and the Nanyang War Zone displayed extraordinary resolve in the face of the Dark Night Empire's disruption. They constantly strengthened their defenses along the coast, not giving the enemy any opportunities.
In particular, he placed torpedoes in the port to prevent the Dark Night Fleet from entering the port.
In this way, the Dark Night Fleet, which did not have a landing force, could only fight on the coast.
…
Half a month had passed, and the South American battlefield was in a stalemate.
The Indian Empire sent their main forces into the southern battlefield. In the east, the Dawson Dynasty and the Brasilia Dynasty's six hundred thousand strong allied army swept through, advancing triumphantly and causing the Indian Empire great losses.
May 15th, Ogua County, Fulcrum City.
Han Xin, who had been paying attention to the situation in South America, once again raised his tent to discuss the matter.
Looking at the map of South America, Han Xin analyzed, "Colombia is north of the county. Our army can march all the way north and take control of the Panama area and the Panama Canal."
The Panama Canal was an important waterway connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Following the Egyptian Dynasty's surrender, Great Xia entered the Mediterranean Sea and controlled the Suez Canal. The Panama Canal became the only key waterway that was not under Great Xia's control.
The Panama Canal was also the chokepoint between the eastern and western seacoasts of the Dawson Dynasty. It was the lifeline of the Dawson Dynasty.
Thus, long ago, the Dawson Dynasty had conquered Panama and taken control of the canal.
Even during this attack on the Indian Empire, the Dawson Dynasty had stationed 150,000 of their 200,000 soldiers in the Panama region. From this, one could see how much importance the Dawson Dynasty placed on this region.
With that said, Han Xin began to call out names. "Xue Rengui!"
"Here!"
Xue Rengui quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists in excitement.
"I want you to lead the troops along the coast of Colombia and advance quickly until we capture Panama City," Han Xin ordered.
"Yes, commander!"
Xue Rengui stepped forward and took the arrow.
"Remember, Panama City has an international teleportation array. Given the strategic importance of the Panama Canal, the Dawson Dynasty can send an army to reinforce us at any time. Don't underestimate the enemy," Han Xin instructed.
"Understood!"
In fact, the Great Xia army already had a deep understanding of teleportation tactics.
Han Xin changed the topic and said, "According to our intelligence, the Dawson Empire has a total military strength of 2.5 million soldiers. Aside from the internal defense forces, they also have to deal with the attacks of the Maple Leaf Dynasty and the Maya Dynasty from the north and south. Not to mention the troops stationed in Africa and the 400,000 soldiers already stationed in the Columbia area, the number of troops they can mobilize will not exceed 150,000. You don't have to worry too much."
The territory of Dawson Empire was comparable to that of Great Xia. Unfortunately, the population of Dawson Empire was much larger than that of Great Xia, which limited the number of its armies. Otherwise, Jack would have long since expanded without restraint.
Hearing this, Xue Rengui nodded again. His expression was already very calm.
Han Xin turned his gaze to the map again. "In addition to Panama City, the Columbia area has international teleportation arrays in Bogota, Caracas, Georgetown, Palamaribo, and Cayenne."
Speaking of this, Han Xin also felt a headache.
These teleportation arrays were located in the capital cities of Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and Guyana. After the countries were destroyed by the Dawson Dynasty, they naturally retained their international teleportation arrays.
Apart from the capital city of Colombia, Bogota, which was also the administrative center of the state of Colombia, located inland, the remaining four cities were coastal cities facing the Atlantic Ocean.
Of course, if Great Xia attacked these areas, according to the rules of the game given by Gaia, since these areas were no longer independent game zones, the international teleportation arrays would be cancelled one by one.
For example, after the Indian Empire ceded the city of Quito to Great Xia, the teleportation array was cancelled. It was Ouyang Shuo who used a teleportation talisman to re-establish the teleportation array in Fulcrum City.
"If we take down these five cities, we will basically control the entire Columbia area." Speaking of this, Han Xin called out again, "Li Xiucheng!"
"Yes, General!"
The commander of the Brave Tiger Army, the young General of the Eastern Expedition, Li Xiucheng, quickly stepped forward.
"You will lead the troops and take the middle route. You will be responsible for capturing Bogota and Caracas."
"Yes, Commander!"
Li Xiucheng received the arrow of command with a solemn expression.
These two cities were the former capital cities of Colombia and Venezuela respectively. They were also the two most magnificent capital cities. The Commander had given him this important task, which clearly showed his trust in the Brave Tiger Army.
Han Xin instructed as usual, "Remember, the central army must be fast and try to end the battle as soon as possible. After capturing Bogota, arrange for a legion to be stationed there. The rest of the legions are to gather in Caracas."
"Yes, General!"
Li Xiucheng's eyes flashed a trace of doubt. According to the usual practice, the Brave Tiger Army should be stationed in Colombia. Why did they have to gather in Caracas?
However, Li Xiucheng did not ask. He believed that the Commander must have his reasons for making such an arrangement.
As a soldier, he just needed to carry out the orders.
Seeing this, Han Xin nodded in satisfaction and did not explain. He then said, "Battle Wolf!"
"Yes, General!"
The commander of the South American Army, General Battle Wolf of the Eastern Expedition, also stepped forward with a somewhat unnatural expression.
It was easy to understand.
Among the generals in the tent, Battle Wolf was the only mutant. Before he surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty, he was a tyrant. When had he ever been subservient to others?!
Now, Battle Wolf had no choice but to obey Han Xin's orders.
Before Han Xin arrived in Ogua County, Battle Wolf did not feel anything because he also held the position of provincial governor and had no one to restrict him.
But now, Battle Wolf really needed to adjust.
Needless to say, with the official establishment of the American Theater of Operations, Battle Wolf's position as the provincial governor of Xiao County had also been removed by the imperial court and completely became history.
In the future, Battle Wolf would only be a member of the American Theater of Operations.
Other than that, he was nothing else.
Han Xin, however, felt nothing and ordered, "Lead the troops and go straight to Georgetown, Palamaribo, and Cayenne. Don't stop along the way if you can. Speed is the most important thing in war."
"Yes, General!"
Battle Wolf stepped forward and took the arrow of command.
