Black Dragon Kingdom

High in the sky, Ace's ray of consciousness looked at the countless black soldiers digging trenches in a zigzag pattern and advancing forward.

Turning into a small ball of light, he drew a beautiful arc in the air and came not far from Emperor Douglas.

He reprimanded Fang Luo, calm and calm, not angry, full of self-confidence, as if the word victory was born on his head, he would never fail, never lose his sense of proportion, and never lose his self-confidence .

All the characteristics of Emperor Douglas' body seemed to predestined him to be a qualified and powerful emperor.

I don't know what his fate is. Among the countless lines of fate, more than 95% of the lines of fate point to his fate of failure.

There are too many vested interest classes who oppose him. He is almost resisting the whole world with the power of one country.

At the beginning, I didn't dare to do this. It was because I realized it with emotion and moved it with reason. Only then did I achieve my goal step by step.

He was not very optimistic about Emperor Douglas.

It is very difficult to achieve the result you want if you insist on using force to carry out something.

Unless you have absolute force.

But with absolute force, it is almost impossible to have a world without the extraordinary.

There is no extraordinary world, and the power of the king comes from the subjects below.

The loyal subjects submit to the king, the king is the king, if the subjects do not submit to the king.

The king is just a puppet.

Emperor Douglas may be powerful, but his actions to unify the entire world have almost shaken the interests of all vested interests.

Where would the vested interest classes whose interests would be affected agree to be robbed of their interests by Emperor Douglas?

In the face of the entire world, the counterattack of the vast majority of vested interests, how can Emperor Douglas stop it?

Douglas the Great is unaware of Ace's prediction of his fate.

He is still commanding his army vigorously. Under his command, the trench dug by his soldiers has quickly approached the enemy's position on the opposite side.

The cannons on both sides roared non-stop, and the dense projectiles kept shooting towards the opponent's position.

Because both sides are hiding in the trenches, the casualties caused by the cannons of both sides are very limited.

Kill kill kill!

The trenches on both sides were dug, and the distance between the frontline soldiers of both sides was less than ten steps.

With the deafening sound of fighting, after shooting, a large number of Douglas soldiers rushed into the opponent's trench, and started a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.

Because the distance was too close, the flintlock guns of both sides could only fire one shot, and then they fought directly.

The red soldiers had no time to pick up another loaded flintlock.

In hand-to-hand combat, they are far from being the opponents of Douglas the Great's elite.

In the command post of the red soldiers, advisers from more than a dozen countries watched the retreating soldiers with binoculars.

All of them were livid with anger.

They all cursed in their hearts:

Damn it, the Emperor Douglas on the opposite side doesn't talk about martial arts.

You don't obediently let your elite soldiers line up in a neat and tight formation to die non-stop. Why do you want them to dig trenches and move forward?

How can we fight if you do this?

Colonial soldiers are strong with the blessing of money, but there is no way to face the elite in hand-to-hand combat.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most will-testing.

Consultants from more than a dozen countries, who were in a bad mood, saw that the situation on the front line was quite bad, and quickly discussed one by one.

Douglas the Great had a lot of experience in war, and they were not far behind.

After a while, they discussed a new way.

With the blaring of horns, large groups of red soldiers broke into the homes of the nobles in the cities they were guarding.

Aristocratic? There's always a bit of nostalgia.

As long as the aristocrats of a little age basically have a lot of iron armor in their homes, they do this for no other reason than to show off to others how awesome their family was before.

In hand-to-hand combat, there is no better combat weapon than armor.

The Northern Cold Country is a big country, of course there are a lot of nobles in its capital, there are a lot of aristocrats, and of course there are a lot of armors.

A few hours later, under the organization of more than a dozen national advisers, 3,000 heavy infantry wearing full body armor, holding steel shields and long swords appeared on the battlefield.

Facing this pile of iron shells, the black soldiers, who were as powerful as a bamboo, were quickly beaten back.

The advisers of more than a dozen countries are quite insidious. Before sending out heavy infantry to attack, they will first let the soldiers without armor shoot and fight with the soldiers on the opposite side.

When the two sides formed a group, they were dispatching heavy infantry to swarm up.

At this time, the black soldier whose flintlock was emptied faced a group of heavy infantry armed with swords, who was his opponent? .

In hand-to-hand combat, soldiers wearing armor have an absolute advantage over soldiers without armor.

No matter how high the morale of the black soldiers is, facing this pile of iron shells and flintlock guns without bullets in their hands, they can't break the defense at all. They can only retreat in defeat.

In the command post of the Douglas Corps, Ace watched the wonderful battle on the front line with relish.

The guy who commanded the army on the opposite side was quite good. He changed his plan due to the time, saw his tricks, and the Douglas Legion, which had already dominated the upper hand, was beaten back.

Look at the opponent's resolute resistance, this war can't be over in a few months.

The other party has money, quite rich, and the other party has weapons, quite a lot of weapons.

The capital of the Northern Cold Country is on the side of a big river, which connects to the ocean.

All kinds of materials are continuously being imported into the city on the river.

Although Emperor Douglas captured most of the industrial civilization world and destroyed dozens of countries, the navies of these destroyed countries did not surrender under the influence of their respective interest classes.

On the contrary, they are still active at sea, supported by the resources provided by the colonies of various countries.

Emperor Douglas may be invincible on land, but on water, he could not beat the combined navies of all countries anyway.

Therefore, in the face of the opponent's continuous supply of supplies to the Northern Cold Country through the river, Emperor Douglas was powerless at all.

Emperor Douglas looked at the countless soldiers retreating from the front line, his face was still as confident as before, but his hands were involuntarily held together.

Only some people who are familiar with him will know that when his hands are held together, it means that something really difficult for him has happened.

Judging from the current situation, if he insists on capturing this city, he will not be able to capture it in a short time.

The 200,000-strong army digging martial arts trenches desperately defended, plus the support from the major colonies.

You must know that among those supports, there are not only materials, but also personnel support.

Within three months before the arrival of winter, it was impossible for him to capture this 200,000 army, or even more soldiers, who were supported by the outside and motivated by countless money inside.

Not to mention, he simply couldn't attack with all his strength.

The Great Emperor Ulster of the Northern Cold Country is leading his 800,000 army whereabouts are unknown.

He must leave enough reserves to guard against future threats, and the army that can attack the city must not exceed 600,000.

The troops who came to a strange country for an expedition often faced not only the garrison troops of a strange country, but also strange terrain.

Information warfare is also a type of warfare.

If you want to attack a country, if you don't have time to figure out their dikes and dams, where are the forests, where are the mountains, and where can you hide soldiers?

Etc., etc., if the information is not clear, there is almost a high probability of failure.

Not to mention anything else, they took advantage of your army to reach the range covered by the flood of the dam, and directly broke the dam. Under the torrential flood, let alone you are an army of millions, so what if you are an army of tens of millions?

It's all for the fish.

For another example, when your soldiers walk out of a forest, do you go in or not?

What do you do if someone sets fire to it? What if the forest is very large and you get lost?

The variety of problems can be described as endless.

He, Douglas the Great, was able to quickly destroy dozens of industrialized and civilized countries, thanks to the information support from various countries provided by the Pope of the Holy See.

But now, the Northern Cold Country is a strange country, and they rarely communicate with the outside world.

Except for the maps they have in the more industrially developed cities along the great river, they don't know anything about other places.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap.

The cavalry scouts he sent in all directions brought him very bad news.

Although the large army of the Northern Cold Country had already left, their 100,000 cavalry were still wandering around, constantly hunting down his scouts.

The drawing of the map is quite difficult under many obstacles.

When the situation was unknown, he did not dare to send his 150,000 cavalry out to fight the cavalry on the opposite side.

As for infantry, where can two-legged ones run faster than four-legged ones?

The map was unknown, and he did not dare to divide his troops and set traps.

He has now reached a crossroads.

If he continues to attack, his failure is almost certain. The pope has sent him a message that large areas of cotton production have been burned, and countless cotton factories that make cotton clothes are under countless reasons. Quick downtime.

When winter came, his soldiers were sure to lose.

But if you retreat, the situation will not be much better.

His enemies have the support of the vested interests of most of the world, with countless money, soldiers, and weapons.

Given a few months for them, the Northern Cold Country will definitely become stronger.

A million troops is not their limit.

At that time, it will be even more difficult for him to destroy the Northern Cold Country.

But if the Northern Cold Country is not destroyed, countless money and resources will pour into the Northern Cold Country, and the industrial scale of the other party will skyrocket on a large scale, and the war with him will continue.

Once the war turned into a tug of war, he would feel uncomfortable.

He has more than half of the world behind him as supporters, and behind him is only a group of countless vested interests in dozens of industrial countries who always want him to defeat.

God of fate, how should I choose?

Is it a desperate battle, or is it caught in a long war of attrition.

In the darkness, Emperor Douglas prayed to the gods he believed in in the darkness.

But the God of Destiny has no way to respond to him, the world is fair, there is a God of Destiny on this planet, and there are also other gods.

For the competition of mortals, they generally would not intervene.

Otherwise, if they both attack each other's believers, under the power of the gods, everyone should stop playing.

Early the next morning, Douglas the Great did not receive the revelation of fate.

The order to retreat was issued without hesitation.

Faced with the fact that continuing to persevere means defeat, he chose to take a step back.

After all, he is not alone. The Pope of the Holy See stands behind him. With the help of the Pope, he can barely suppress dozens of industrial countries.

With the help of the strong industrial production capacity brought by dozens of industrial countries, his chances of winning are still great.

The army was mighty, and millions of troops withdrew from the land of the Northern Cold Country like a tide.

Countless soldiers of the Douglas Legion, after withdrawing from the opponent's territory, began to build defensive offensives on the border.

At the same time, Emperor Douglas also stepped up his squeeze on dozens of industrial countries in order to obtain more resources and money to expand his army.

High in the sky, Ace became more interested in watching the development of the world, which was a little different from what he remembered.

He would like to see, among other options, whether Douglas the Great, who has a certain resemblance to Napoleon, can win the final victory.

Every choice made by the big man is an endless wave for the little man.

Can the different choices made by the most powerful beings bring history in another direction?

Or, the power of a very small number of rational people is not as good as the power of all those with vested interests (those who are greedy for profit) in the whole world, and they will be doomed to failure.

History is like a torrent, and the fate of most civilizations is to perish. Those who rise and take off like dragons will never survive.

Benefits, once you pick it up, how can you put it down easily?

Even if they are willing to let go, the subordinates of those with vested interests, relatives, friends, teachers, will they let those with vested interests let go of their interests?

Those who are as wise as saints are only a minority after all.

Among those whose holy name is like a saint, there are very few people who can abandon all obstacles and move forward along the correct path.

I am also lucky. I can double and double the interests of the absolute militaristic rules, and double the interests of all vested interests. This is how I came to today.

Otherwise, my fate should be similar to that of Napoleon.

Reformers have suffered a very miserable fate since ancient times.
