Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

Prussia issued a declaration of war in the morning, and the Prussian army had already appeared in the Kyushu region in the afternoon. In order to conquer Japan, the Prussian army had already planned a dozen landing points.

The Southern Front is attacking in the direction of Kyushu. The landing points are Kagoshima, Nagasaki and other areas. The Central Front plans to land in Hiroshima, Nagoya, and Osaka on Honshu Island, and go straight to Kyoto. The Northern Theater is planning to land directly in Tokyo and Yokohama, and send thousands more people. troops occupied Hokkaido.

The Prussian army mobilized quickly, first in the southern theater, where Prussia dispatched [-] troops, seven battleships, and twenty transport ships.

However, it is true that the pressure on the offensive side will be greater than that on the defensive side. Japan has brought out some ancient defensive weapons, such as earth cannons and catapults.

The coastal defense troops placed many wooden roadblocks in the dangerous terrain, but there was still a problem. There were too few people here. Facing the Prussian troops, the pressure here was great, and a large number of Japanese warriors were pulled away. Arrived to defend near Kyoto.

The plan to land on Kyushu went smoothly. Several artillery pieces were fired at the same time, plowing the entire coast of Japan. Then the warships were allowed to dock. The Prussian army set up a square formation, with the cavalry leading the way, and all the soldiers following closely behind.

After the Prussian army landed, the Japanese army was forced to abandon Kyushu. They knew that they could not let the Prussian army seize the ports near Honshu and Shikoku, so they mobilized the army and organized a new defense line in Fukushima.

They were attached to the mountains, and the flexible terrain gave them some room to operate. However, the Prussian guns had a longer range and faster reloading. The artillery also did more damage to the Prussian army. They could only push the coastal defense guns to attack the Prussian army. , there are only a few in total, and it’s so laborious.

In just one week, Prussia conquered the Kyushu region. All the vassal kings and daimyo wherever the Prussian army passed ran away. They continued to guard Ehime and Yamaguchi to prevent Prussia from attacking the north from Kyushu.

The population of Kyushu is not small. The Japanese people who originally lived here thought that when Prussia invaded, they would definitely burn, kill and loot. As a result, they ignored the ordinary residents and even wiped out a few nests of bandits.

And the good news is that the Prussian army does not collect taxes, which means that as long as the war continues, the occupied areas do not seem to have to pay taxes to the Japanese government...

Damn it, why don’t you raise your hands to greet Master Wang!

The wartime staff headquarters originally located in Jiaozhou Bay was also moved to Miyazaki. In order to better carry out the war, Moltke shouted to the Japanese people on behalf of Prussia, we will bring you an eight-hour work system, we will bring you Come democracy and wise leadership!

Join the Greater European Union and we will prosper together!

Anyway, just say whatever you want. Once the pie is drawn, the rest won’t be a problem.

Of course, Japanese people don’t understand what these Europeans are talking about. An eight-hour working day? democracy? What does this mean? I do not know?

Japan is a feudal society and generally has an agricultural economy. As long as you can farm, it will be fine. Work? Isn’t their job just farming? What can there be?

But the real advantage is that you don’t have to be bullied by those rogue warriors. The Prussian army is certainly not a disciplined army, but the entire senior staff of the General Staff participated in this war, and Ron also formulated complete military discipline. They Not stupid enough to burn, kill and loot in front of the leader.

That's why they seemed very calm, so compared with that group of warriors, the Prussian army was really solemn and mighty, civilized and disciplined.

There is no lower limit for the Japanese shogunate's operations this year. Since there is no United States to divert domestic pressure from the shogunate, the overthrow movement and the royalist movement have come one after another. The entire society has been in turmoil for so many years. Almost every day, samurai come to collect protection money. If they don't pay, they will be punished. Breaking, smashing and looting.

Unexpectedly, it was occupied by Prussia, and there were no warriors to rob it.

But the battle line is not all smooth sailing. For example, the Japanese shogunate placed heavy troops to guard areas such as Kobe and Osaka. The Prussian bombardment actually failed to break up the Japanese army immediately. There were many of them and they tried their best to defend. Prussia spent four or five times in Osaka. For an hour, I couldn't find a chance to log in.

It's just that they couldn't land here. The Prussian army conducted a landing operation in the Kochi area, and they went up easily. The local area staged a Danish-style surrender for Prussia. As soon as Prussia came up, Kochi announced its surrender, and with it The whole four countries are on leash together.

In the Hokkaido area, only [-] people launched an attack here, but after all, Hokkaido has a small population and cannot organize a very favorable defense. Soon the Prussian army entered Reiboro, and subsequently supported a small part of the Prussian army. , it took half a month to defeat the shogunate army and end the shogunate's rule here.

Next came the final Honshu. Due to the delay in landing Osaka, the Prussian army chose to fight elsewhere. They decided to directly sail the warships into Kanagawa and land in Tokyo and Yokohama. This plan was called the "Sunset Plan."
