Valley Emperor - v2 Chapter 2163
At the beginning of the year, the 26th Infantry Division, which had been rested, went to the front line to fight again. This time, it finally reached the Istanbul area with friendly troops.
In the end, the reason why his unit finally arrived outside Istanbul was not because the 26th Infantry Division he led was important, but because his unit was not the main force, so it was arranged here.
Because the Tatars never thought of conquering Istanbul, the city was surrounded by the military restricted zone of the Tang Dynasty, leaving only a passage more than 100 meters wide and more than three kilometers long, which could not be attacked at all.
If the city was to be conquered, the only feasible way was to launch a landing operation from the sea, and the Tartars had indeed planned to do so.
When they are ready, they will set off from several ports in the Sea of Marmara and launch landing operations from the sea.
Therefore, after the Tatars won the Balkans, they have already started to collect ships in an all-round way and build ships to prepare for crossing the sea, not only to land and capture Istanbul, but also to cross the sea to attack the Lesser Scythian Peninsula.
Datang’s Black Sea Strait military restricted area includes the coastal areas of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, but in the Sea of Marmara area, there is no overbearing use of the coastal areas as military restricted areas.
After all, if it was completely blocked, the Ottoman Kingdom would be divided into two, so the agreement was signed at that time, except for these two straits, other coastal areas will not be used as military restricted areas.
And the Tatars are preparing to cross the sea to attack, not to say they have to cross the middle of the vast Marmara Sea. In fact, they did not intend to do so, but prepared to pass through the border areas of the Datang military restricted area, such as starting from the southern coast of Istanbul and landing directly on the opposite side. The distance between the land and sea is actually only ten kilometers.
However, these have nothing to do with Kanerba. His mission is not this. His mission is to block the western land passage of Istanbul, followed by clearing the surrounding areas, especially some of the Ottoman remnants in the north near the Datang Military Restricted Area.
When Kanerba’s troops began to build a fortress outside the passage, the Ottoman defenders inside the passage also breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only the defenders, but even the high-level officials of the Ottoman Kingdom were greatly relieved. Not even Murad III was fortunate. Fortunately, they signed a land exchange agreement with the Datang people in the Black Sea Strait. All the places were sold to the Datang people, and the Datang people set up military restricted areas in these places.
Otherwise, with the current Tatar offensive, Istanbul will be doomed!
As long as the city is not lost, then he can rely on the strength of the Asia Minor region across the strait to organize a large army to deny it.
Of course, this is just his idea!
But I have never asked the Tatars whether they agree or not, let alone the disagreement of several great Pashas entrenched in Asia Minor!
Just one month later, in May of the forty-eighth year of Xuanping, the Tatars organized a large-scale landing army across the sea, landed in Asia Minor from multiple directions, and continued their war against the Ottoman Kingdom!
This time, the Tatars were very determined, and at the same time organized a large fleet from multiple ports. There were more than 20 sailing battleships of more than 1,000 tons, and there were more than 50 hundreds of ships. tons of sailing warships, and hundreds of other transport ships.
From this, we can also see the strength of the Tang Dynasty!
Kanerba was in the port, watching such a huge fleet set sail, he couldn’t help but sigh: “My big Jin Guosheng is not at the right time!”
And many generals of the Tang Dynasty and Jin Kingdom next to him also sighed a lot when they heard this. For a while, the good mood of many people watching such a spectacular scene disappeared completely.
They all know why Kanerba said that Dajin Guosheng was not at the right time!
With today’s comprehensive strength of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is military, agricultural or handicrafts, its comprehensive strength far exceeds that of all other countries except the Tang Empire.
Even this kind of transcendence is a rolling transcendence!
The Tang Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom can use their own strength to overwhelm the European countries, not simply by relying on the bravery and skill of the Tatars, but by relying on strong national strength.
Such a powerful empire, in any other era, would be top-notch.
But it is a pity that the Datang Jinguo appeared in this era, and in this era there was the Datang Empire.
And the strength of the Tang Dynasty made everyone in the Golden Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty not even have the courage to look up. With the passage of time, the Tatars who knew a little about the Tang Dynasty would feel a strong sense of helplessness towards the power of the Tang Dynasty.
This is the same as the huge fleet in front of you!
In order to pull out this huge fleet, Datang Jinguo almost dispatched all the warships and other types of ships in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
But everyone knows that this seemingly huge sailing fleet, the few Datang battleships watching on the sidelines in the waters not far away, are barely as fragile as eggs.
Yesterday, Kanerba personally asked his friends who served in the navy, and said that if their sea power is all-out, not afraid of sacrifice, they will have a good chance of winning against the Straits Fleet of the Tang Dynasty.
His friend looked at him like an idiot, and finally said, let alone the entire Strait Fleet of the Tang Dynasty, even if it was the three Tang Dynasty battleships outside the port, there was no chance of winning.
There is a high probability that they will be sunk one by one by the powerful naval guns of the other party before they approach the opponent’s ship, and even their own ships will never catch up with others…
Other steam battleships can run more than ten knots!
The two sides are not on the same level at all, and there is no way to fight!
The pessimistic answer from his friend made Kanerba sigh!
Being in the same era as the Tang Empire, it is a tragedy for the Great Jin Kingdom and even for any other country!
Untimely, that’s what many Tatars think!
However, they still did not stop fighting, it is impossible to confront the Tang Empire head-on!
However, it may not be impossible to continue to survive, and avoid being completely destroyed like the Mughal kingdom and even many other countries.
If you want to survive, what is the most important thing?
own strength?
no!
The strength is stronger~www.mtlnovel.com~ Can you be stronger than the Datang Empire?
Even if you show a little sign that you can threaten the Tang Dynasty, the cannonballs of the Tang people will come.
Everyone knows that the Datang Empire retains so many countries in Asia and Europe, purely because these countries cannot threaten the Datang Empire, not even the slightest.
Therefore, it is not reliable to rely on strength.
So how can we survive?
This question is very simple, and all countries know it: hold on to the golden thighs of the Tang Dynasty!
If you make Dad Tang happy, and people are happy, they will leave you a place to live, and if you want a better place to live, you must make Dad Tang happier!
What Datang Jin Guo is doing now is to make Dad Tang happy!
