Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Through this battle, Joseph Joffre not only got rid of the negative impact of the previous No. [-] battle plan, but also completely secured his position as Marshal of the Gallic Empire. Won a commendation from the President of the Gallic Empire.

In particular, his feat of letting his grandson stand on the front line to defend against the Hans Empire's attack made him the savior of the Gallic Empire in the hearts of the people of the Gallic Empire.

Therefore, in this Battle of the Marne, both the Gallic Empire and the John Empire suffered a loss of blood, but Joseph Joffre became the final winner.

Of course, Oli Jia Fei also received cheers from the people, especially after knowing that Oli Jia Fei was not married yet, those aristocratic ladies went a little crazy.

They began to pursue Oli crazily, but Oli was unmoved and still stayed on the front line.

His grandfather, Joseph Joffre, knew about Ollie, and he could only sigh and shake his head.

As for why Ollie was like this, it was just because he was still missing Hannah in his heart.

At this time, Hannah also entered the army.

Ever since she was rescued by Ollie and sent to Brussels in the Hans Empire last time, Hannah was sent back to the country by Xu Changxing.

Hannah was also praised by Fang Xiao for completing the misleading task perfectly.

Later, Lin Yi accidentally heard about Hannah's deeds. He met Hannah curiously and asked Hannah what her plans for the future were.

As a result, Hannah surprised everyone. She suddenly told Lin Yi that she no longer wanted to stay in the Bureau of Statistics or be an agent.

She wanted to be a true soldier like her father. I hope Lin Yi can approve her career change.

Lin Yi is actually a relatively chauvinistic person. He feels that it is best for women not to participate in things like war. The worst thing is that women should not go to the battlefield.

But Hannah took the initiative to go to the battlefield, which made Lin Yi very embarrassed.

But now that he brought up this topic himself, it was hard for him to refuse Hannah directly.

Finally, Lin Yi came up with a way and proposed that he would personally assess Hannah. If Hannah could meet the standards, he would set up a special action team for her.

Hannah agreed and successfully completed the 10 kilometers of armed cross-country, fighting, shooting and other subjects set by Lin Yi.

Now Lin Yi had no excuse to reject Hannah, so he could only agree to Hannah's career change, and as agreed, he set up a special operations team for Hannah.

This was the predecessor of the "Wild Rose" special operations group, which later became famous as the earliest special operations group in the world.

Of course, this is all beside the point. Anyway, Hannah finally doesn't have to be an agent now.

Regarding this, Xu Changxing felt a little disappointed, but also a little happy for Hannah.

What's disappointing is that he won't be able to work with Hannah in the future, and what's happy is that although the work of the special operations team is also dangerous, it is much better to fight alone than an agent who goes deep behind enemy lines.

If Lin Yi knew about Xu Changxing, he might have complained a few times. Special operations teams are safer than agents. Just kidding.

At the end of September 1910, in the capital of the Daxia Empire, the Longxiang Army Headquarters.

Lin Yi came to his office as usual. As soon as he made himself a cup of tea, Fang Xiao walked in.

"Your Majesty, this is what we learned about the Battle of the Marne River." Fang Xiao placed a piece of information on Lin Yi's desk.

"Put it there first, I'll take a look at it later." Lin Yi said casually to Fang Xiao, and then asked: "It has been fighting in Europe for more than two months now. The ambassadors of the Gaul and John Empires Is there any movement?"

Fang Xiao knew who Lin Yi was asking. When news of the outbreak of war in Europe came, Lin Yi asked him to pay special attention to the movements of the envoys of various countries in Daxia, especially the envoys of the John Empire, the Gallic Empire and the Hans Empire.

Therefore, Fang Xiao arranged for personnel to follow them 24 hours a day outside these embassies.

"Back to my lord, there is no action in the capital, but some news has come back from Europe."

"It seems that this time the Battle of the Marne caused heavy losses to both sides. The John Empire and the Gallic Empire have already discussed sending reinforcements from various colonies back to the mainland to participate in the war."

"Judging from the intelligence we have received now, the John Empire and the Gallic Empire are preparing to transfer several local divisions from Southeast Asia back. As for the colonial divisions, we have not yet received relevant information."

Hearing Fang Xiao's words, Lin Yi nodded.

It can be said that Daxia was involved to a certain extent in the outbreak of the Battle of the Marne River.

If Hannah had not deliberately misled the Gallic Empire and asked them to transfer their main force to the vicinity of Sedan, then the defense of the Marne River would not be so lax. Even if the Hans Empire broke through Belgium, facing the relatively complete defense of the Gallic army, it would not be so lax. He won't launch an attack so easily.

In this way, they may test slowly and fight slowly. In this case, their losses will be much smaller.

But doing so is not in the interests of the empire. What Lin Yi needs is that both of them lose a lot of effective forces in the early stage of the European War, so that they can find ways to transfer the troops from other colonies and create opportunities for the empire to annex Southeast Asia.

Now, Lin Yi has done everything he should do, and the only thing left is to see if Hans Empire can hurt the opponent.

If several large-scale battles are launched to further consume the strength of the John Empire and the Gallic Empire, then they will definitely mobilize defense forces from various well-known places.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt that it was necessary to increase investment in the Hans Empire. Correspondingly, in order to paralyze the enemy, the empire also needed to invest in the Allied Powers.

So, Lin Yi asked Fang Xiao to make an appointment with Li Fu for him.

Fang Xiao understood what Lin Yi meant, so he left Lin Yi's office and went to arrange Lin Yi's schedule.

Li Fu, the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (formerly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, change it, be warned), can now be said to be the busiest person in the entire empire.

The ambassadors of the Allied and Allied Powers took turns asking to see him. He still had to meet these people.

At the same time, Li Fu also needs to deal with the problems of the vassal countries around the empire.

For example, since the war began in Europe, Koizumi Jiro has approached Li Fu many times and asked the empire to agree to his unification of the Sakura Country.

But Koizumi Jiro's proposal was rejected by Lin Yi.

In Lin Yi's view, the interests of the empire should be given priority, Southeast Asia should be controlled by the empire, and the forces of the John Empire and the Blast Furnace Empire should be expelled from East and Southeast Asia. Only in this way can the empire's interests in Asia be guaranteed.

As for the Taisho Tenhuang of Sakura Country, as long as the European forces are driven out, wouldn't Sakura Country be like fish on the chopping board, and you can cut it how you want?

There is no need to touch the Sakura Kingdom now to let John Empire and others feel the ambition of the empire.
