As time went on, the conflict between the Russian Democratic Republic, the Russian Federal Republic and the Russian Kingdom became more and more acute. With the help of France, the three countries finally began to fight continuously for years. First, the Russian Federation made territorial claims to the Russian Democratic Republic on the pretext of border issues. When the boundary was first drawn, it was originally rather blurred. The Russian Federation is the most powerful of the three countries. The Russian Democratic Republic had no choice but to report this incident to France. The French side excused that this was a matter between the Russian Federation and the Russian Democratic Republic, and it was not easy for France to intervene. And just like that, war broke out. More than 100,000 Russian republican troops invaded the Russian Democratic Republic. The Russian Democratic Republic was originally weaker than the Russian Federal Republic, and under the attack of the Russian Federal Republic, it retreated steadily. All the way back to the capital St. Petersburg. At this moment, a turning point appeared. The Kingdom of Russia suddenly sent troops to march on Moscow. The Russian Federation had no choice but to return to the division for rescue. In this way, a situation in which the Russian Democratic Republic and the Kingdom of Russia united against the Russian Federation was formed. There is no more peace in the entire Eastern European region. In this regard, France also adopted a tacit attitude, and obtained huge profits by selling military supplies to the three belligerent countries.
Of course, this is all for later.
After pacifying Russia, France's strategic focus shifted again. By March 1829, the French 1st Army had been confronting the American-Canadian forces on the Isthmus of Panama for nearly a month. The US-Canadian coalition forces adopted a variety of methods, but they were unable to break through the French defense line. The current strength of the French army is also insufficient, so there is no plan to go north for the time being. As a result, the battle line was deadlocked.
However, the war at sea is getting more and more intense. The navies of the two sides fought continuously in the Atlantic Ocean, but each had its own outcome, and no one achieved a decisive victory. Therefore, the war is developing towards a long-term war of attrition.
When France began to concentrate its efforts on dealing with the United States and Canada on the other side of the ocean. A new change has emerged. Perhaps it is because France has no time to take care of them now, so the British Isles are fighting again.
On March 21, 1829, the British army concentrated 6 divisions and launched a fierce attack on the Irish army stationed in Wales from two directions. Caught off guard, the Irish Army suffered heavy losses. Subsequently, the Republic of Ireland began to increase its troops to Wales, which stabilized the situation in Wales. But Britain still holds the upper hand.
On March 29, the scale of the war expanded again. According to the Treaty of Alliance signed with the Republic of Ireland, the Kingdom of Scotland sent 5 divisions to cross the Cheviot Hills and aggressively attack the northern part of the United Kingdom.
"Damn Scots, they are taking advantage of the fire again." Edward cursed. This attack on the Welsh area was a joint operation of the British royal family and the government. Edward finally seized this opportunity and wanted to show himself well. However, what I didn't expect was that the attack on Wales was not very smooth. Now, Scotland has stepped in, making the situation even more unpredictable.
"I think we should concentrate our forces first, recover Wales, and drive the Irish back to the island of Ireland. Then we will move our troops northward to completely destroy Scotland, and finally send a large army across the Irish Sea to attack the island of Ireland and unify the entire United Kingdom." Prime Minister Williams said.
"Your Excellency, generally speaking, your strategy is not wrong. However, there are still great difficulties in implementing it. First of all, we only have 18 divisions. Ireland has 15 divisions. Troop strength, Scotland has the strength of 10 divisions. Although the strength of our country is comparable to any of their countries, we are at a disadvantage when they unite. Although the current situation in Wales, we have a slight advantage. But with the continuous increase of troops in Ireland , Our advantage is also slowly disappearing. In the end we will be at a disadvantage. Now, the strength of Irish troops in Wales has reached 8 divisions, and it is still increasing. Therefore, I request an immediate increase of 6 divisions in Wales Defeated the Irish Army in one fell swoop." Army Commander-in-Chief General Bill said. Although he is the commander-in-chief of the army, what he can command is only the 10 divisions belonging to the government. The other 8 divisions belong to the Royal Guards, led by Edward.
This attack on Wales was a joint action proposed by Edward. The two sides invested 3 divisions each, but what they didn't expect was that not only the attack had reached a stalemate, but Scotland also took the opportunity to invade, which made their plan come to nothing.
"Well, Your Majesty the King. Let's send three divisions into Wales again. What do you think?" Williams suggested. Obviously, it is impossible for him to independently undertake the six divisions.
"In principle, I have no objection. However, how should we deal with the Scots invasion? Also, will we be able to defeat the Irish by sending another 6 divisions to Wales?" George IV asked.
"Yes, we have built a defensive line on the Tees River. If Scotland does not continue to increase its troops, we can completely resist their attack. In this way, we can deal with the Irish with all our strength." Edward also echoed.
Seeing that they were so sure, George IV agreed to their proposal. Once again, 6 additional divisions were sent to the Welsh area, trying to win the battle against Ireland in the shortest possible time.
"In addition, I think that with our current strength alone, it may be difficult to achieve an overwhelming victory over Ireland and Scotland. Therefore, I propose that we should expand the army again. Add 10 to 12 new divisions." Edward proposed .
"However, according to the original limit of France, we can only form an army of 18 divisions. If we increase our troops without authorization, I am afraid that it will attract dissatisfaction from France." Williams said with some hesitation.
"You don't have to worry about this. Now France is concentrating on competing with the United States and Canada for control of the Atlantic Ocean, and it won't take us into account at all." Edward laughed.
"France is currently at war with the United States, and the outcome is still unpredictable. This is also our chance, as long as we can quickly defeat Ireland and Scotland during this period of time, and reunify the United Kingdom. Then we will have peace The strength of France's confrontation. I believe that under such circumstances, France does not want to create an enemy." George IV also said.
Williams and Bill glanced at each other. They really wanted to get rid of France's control, but they didn't dare to provoke them because of the strength of France.
"Don't forget, France has stationed a division of elite troops in London, and we have no force in the London area except the police. If France wants to deal with us, we will never escape." Bill said.
According to the original agreement, the British government was not allowed to station troops within 50 kilometers around London, making the whole of London under the control of France. If Britain wants to get rid of French control, the royal family and government will definitely be attacked by the French army. At that time, none of them can escape.
Silence, silence in the meeting room. They are very clear that France will not intervene in the war between Britain and other two countries. But if Britain dares to blatantly break the original agreement, then France will definitely take necessary actions. Although France is now trying its best to confront the United States and Canada, it is not difficult to eliminate Britain with one hand. Therefore, the matter of military expansion ~www.mtlnovel.com~ can only be temporarily abandoned.
At this time, the Irish deployment in Wales had reached 8 divisions. Before the war began, Ireland deployed a total of 5 divisions in Wales. The surprise attack of the British army caused heavy losses to the 13th and 14th Infantry Divisions stationed in the Newport area, and they were almost disabled. Subsequently, the British army concentrated the strength of 4 divisions and launched an attack on Cardiff, the capital of Wales. The Irish army was defeated and had to retreat to the west. The battle situation was very unfavorable for the Irish Army. Fortunately, the reinforcements of the Irish Army arrived in time, and the arrival of three divisions successfully withstood the British attack.
On March 31, the Irish vice president, Robert, and two divisions of the second batch of reinforcements arrived at Milford Haven, a city in western Wales. In this way, the strength of Irish troops in Wales reached 10 divisions, of which more than half of the 13th and 14th divisions were lost.
As soon as Robert arrived, he immediately began to organize a counterattack. On April 2, Robert concentrated the strength of 6 divisions and launched an attack on Swansea, an important city in southern Wales. The British army deployed only two divisions in Swansea. Under the fierce attack of the Irish army, the British army in Swansea soon could not hold on. At this time, two divisions of the British Army in Cardiff also came to reinforce. The two sides started a fierce battle. But in the end it ended with the victory of the Irish Army. The British army withdrew from Swansea and returned to Cardiff. When Robert concentrated his forces and prepared to attack Cardiff, Edward personally led 6 divisions of reinforcements. The balance of war tilted in favor of the British army again.
