Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

On February 15, 40 BC, the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire had a large-scale and fierce exchange of fire with the navy and air force of the Ayyubid Kingdom in the Suez Canal Basin.

In the end, relying on the Mermaid Legion's advantage in Haiti, the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire sank several flagships of the Ayyubid Kingdom first.

After losing the cover of the warships, the Ayub Kingdom's air force was immediately repelled by the Condor Air Force relying on magic warships.

With the successive defeats of the navy and air force, the Ayyubid Kingdom's plan to increase its troops in the Sinai Peninsula came to nothing.

After shattering the strategic plan of the Ayyubid Kingdom to force a crossing of the Suez Canal, the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire sailed directly along the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea in the name of suppressing bandits.

After entering the Mediterranean, the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire immediately headed straight for Cyprus.

At this time, Cyprus was an important supply base for American players in the Mediterranean.

The arrival of the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire caught the beautiful country's navy in the Mediterranean off guard.

Although after receiving the news, the main force of the American naval fleet immediately fled the island of Cyprus and did not suffer much losses, the route between Cyprus and Syria was successfully cut off by the Red Sea Fleet.

After losing the island of Cyprus, the players of the United States can only replenish supplies on the spot in the Middle East. Without driving away the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire, they will not be able to supplement their troops and supplies from the rear.

The move of the Condor Empire's Red Sea Fleet into the Mediterranean immediately aroused strong criticism from countries in Africa and Europe.

They all accused Ningyuan of violating the agreement of the Five Continents Alliance and demanded that Ningyuan immediately withdraw the Red Sea Fleet that invaded the Mediterranean.

Regarding the accusations and denunciations from players from various countries in the African and European regions, Ning Yuan said that the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire did not sail into the Mediterranean Sea intentionally, but that the navy of the Ayyubid Kingdom entered the Suez Canal from the Mediterranean Sea to attack the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire. .

Since the enemy came from the Mediterranean and took the initiative to attack the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire, the Condor Empire had the right to launch a counterattack and pursue the enemy who took the initiative to provoke trouble.

It is also very simple to make the Condor Empire's Red Sea Fleet withdraw from the Mediterranean. That is, no country's navy located in the Mediterranean Sea is allowed to enter the Suez Canal to provoke the Condor Empire's Red Sea Fleet.

If countries in the European region and African region can agree to and fulfill this request,

Then the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire will immediately leave the Mediterranean Sea.

If the European and African countries are unable to do this, then I'm sorry, the Condor Empire will continue to mobilize naval fleets from the mainland to assist the Red Sea Fleet until the pirates in the Mediterranean waters who dare to actively attack the Red Sea Fleet are completely wiped out. .

Where are the pirates in the Mediterranean Sea?

The naval fleet that exchanged fire with the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire in the Suez Canal Basin was actually a maritime coalition led by the Kingdom of Ayyubid along the Mediterranean Sea.

After the defeat, warships from various countries fled back to their country's ports.

The Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire was also very aware of this, but after sailing into the Mediterranean, they did not pursue the fleeing enemy warships, but pounced directly on the island of Cyprus.

The intention of the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire is obvious, that is, these stinky fish and rotten shrimps are not worthy of my personal teaching.

Isn’t your beautiful country known as the boss of all countries in the world?

If that's the case, then you have to take care of these rotten little brothers, otherwise I will single out you, the boss, to take care of them.

It is very troublesome to clean up those stinky fish and shrimps one by one, but it is easy to clean up the boss of those stinky fish and rotten shrimps.

After the players of the Beautiful Country experienced two major defeats at sea, they no longer dared to engage in a head-on battle with the Condor Empire's naval fleet.

If they don't dare to engage in a head-on battle, they will have no choice but to keep retreating in the face of the ever-increasing pressure of the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire.

This retreat does not matter, the sea channel between the island of Cyprus and Syria is completely cut off.

Once this sea channel is cut off, the American player's army in the Middle East will lose supplies and support from the rear, which is completely unacceptable to the American player.

Unable to fight again and again, and unable to drive away, if they want to restore this sea channel, the players of the beautiful country can only meet the requirements put forward by the Condor Empire.

Ning Yuan took a fancy to this, so he ordered the Red Sea Fleet to sail into the Mediterranean Sea as soon as there was an opportunity to cut off the logistical supply channels for players in the United States.

Hitting the snake seven inches, the punch of the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire undoubtedly hit the beautiful player seven inches directly, forcing them into a desperate situation.

If you want to reopen this sea channel, players in the beautiful country have two options.

The first option is to immediately summon all the naval fleets of other countries in the Mediterranean region, and then destroy or drive out the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire through head-on combat.

The second option is to immediately put pressure on Ayub and several other countries involved in this incident and order their navies in the Mediterranean Sea not to enter the Suez Canal to provoke the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire.

If possible, American players would definitely choose the first option, because this is a good opportunity to severely damage the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire.

But other Mediterranean countries don't think so, especially after Ningyuan has stated that it can withdraw from the Mediterranean conditionally.

So far, Ning Yuan has been strictly abiding by the territorial agreement established by the Five Continents Alliance. Except for this time, he has almost never exceeded it.

Even if he crossed the border this time, Ning Yuan had a good reason. Because the enemy forces attacking the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire all came from the Mediterranean Sea, it was impossible for them to be attacked in vain without launching a counterattack!

Although after sailing into the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire did not pursue the fleeing warships, but directly pounced on the Cyprus Island logistics base of the American player in the Mediterranean.

But the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire was after all pursuing the enemy into the Mediterranean Sea. As long as Ning Yuan insisted that an enemy ship had fled towards the island of Cyprus, others would not be able to do much against him.

If the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire can be defeated, the countries around the Mediterranean will still be willing to respond to the call of the beautiful players.

But is the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire so easy to defeat?

If they really participated in this battle to siege the Red Sea Fleet, then Ning Yuan would immediately find an excuse to transfer more naval fleets and then invade the Mediterranean region in a large scale.

If the situation really develops into that situation, it will be the players from the United States who will win in the end, and those countries around the Mediterranean will suffer huge losses.

Although Ning Yuan and his Condor Empire are the common enemies of all countries in the world, at this point in time, many countries are still unwilling to confront the Condor Empire head-on, especially in the region where their own country is located.

People are selfish, and no one wants to let the flames of war burn on the territory of their own country.

For those countries that are at war with the Condor Empire, they can provide each other with food or strategic material support, or even directly send troops to participate in the war, but the war must be in areas far away from their countries. This is their bottom line. .

Therefore, when Raymond called on the countries surrounding the Mediterranean to form a Mediterranean maritime coalition to jointly defend the enemy, he immediately encountered strong opposition from many countries surrounding the Mediterranean.

These countries did not want to see the naval fleets of the Condor Empire sailing into the Mediterranean waters continuously, so they rejected Raymond's request without mercy.

In desperation, Raymond could only choose the second option, using the status of the beautiful country to force the Ayyubid Kingdom not to dispatch its fleet in the Mediterranean to fight the Red Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire.

Raymond's unreasonable request was equivalent to causing the Ayyubid Kingdom to directly give up control of the Sinai Peninsula.

But the situation was stronger than the people. Facing the powerful Condor Empire and the unreasonable Raymond, Laka could only agree to Raymond's request with tears in his eyes.

In exchange, Raqqa offered to withdraw all Ayyubid troops located in the northern Sinai Peninsula.

Ning Yuan nodded and agreed to Laka's request without hesitation.

In this way, relying on the deterrence of the Condor Empire's Red Sea Fleet, the Condor Empire successfully forced the Ayyubid Kingdom out of the Sinai Peninsula.

At this point, the entire Sinai Peninsula has basically fallen under the control of the Condor Empire, and the Four-Nation Alliance has directly turned into the Three-Nation Alliance.

Faced with the move of the Condor Empire and the Beautiful Country to persecute the Ayub Kingdom, many players from small countries couldn't help but feel a chill.

It turns out that countries like them who are dedicated to being the little brothers can be sacrificed by the big brothers at any time.

Small countries like these are just pawns in the eyes of those big countries. When they are useful, they will give you two dates to let you taste the sweetness.

When you are no longer useful, he will kick you away without any regard for the previous friendship.

After seeing clearly the true faces of these big countries, many small countries began to spontaneously contact their neighbors, hoping to form a truly mutually beneficial multinational alliance that would never abandon or give up.

Of course, there are also some countries that have good self-sufficiency. They have begun active external expansion, hoping to make their country a big country that cannot be ignored before the war in the Middle East ends.

...

Ning Yuan doesn't care at all what players from various countries in Europe and Africa think. Now he only cares about one thing, which is to conquer the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Arabian Peninsula.

In order to ensure nothing went wrong, when the second expedition fleet sailed near Bandar Abbas Port, Ning Yuan personally boarded the battleship and headed to the Principality of Lamu with the expedition fleet.

As the second expedition fleet successfully landed in the waters of the Principality of Ram, a war surrounding the Arabian Peninsula and the Kingdom of Jerusalem immediately entered a countdown.

For the Arabian Peninsula, which has a long coastline, Ningyuan directly adopted coastal invasion tactics.

The densely populated areas of the countries on the Arabian Peninsula are basically concentrated in the coastal areas, so when the naval fleet of the Condor Empire began to launch endless attacks on the coastlines of those countries, many coastal countries were immediately harassed and miserable. .

Facing the mermaid legions who are good at landing on beaches, many coastal countries on the Arabian Peninsula can only move most of their populations behind solid cities, and then send heavy troops to defend the cities to prevent the invasion of the Condor Empire from the sea.

This defensive tactic is indeed very effective against coastal invasion tactics, because the Condor Navy does not have the ability to siege cities, and they cannot stay on land for a long time without logistical supplies.

However, this defensive tactic also has a huge drawback, which is that daily production in coastal areas has been severely damaged.

If the endless maritime invasion of the Condor Empire cannot be stopped as soon as possible, the economic production of these countries in the coastal areas will completely stagnate, and soon the originally economically developed coastal areas will become barren.

Whether we are the enemy or ourselves, everyone knows this very well, but knowing it is one thing, and how to prevent it is another.

Obviously, after Saudi Arabia suffered a heavy blow, none of the countries on the Arabian Peninsula had such strength, so they could only watch the Condor Navy appearing continuously in their coastal areas.

In order to protect their country, many player leaders on the Arabian Peninsula have personally found Raymond, hoping that Raymond can help them overcome this difficulty. For this reason, they are willing to provide Raymond with a large amount of funds.

After hearing the specific numbers given by the players on the Arabian Peninsula, Raymond could only respond with a helpless smile.

He really wanted to get the money, but there was nothing he could do about it, because the beautiful country's naval fleet was simply unable to compete head-on with the Condor Empire's naval fleet.

Without the ability to dispatch the naval fleet, even if he could mobilize more land forces to help those coastal countries defend themselves, the final result would not change in any way, because the Condor Empire always held the initiative.

This kind of defense that treats the symptoms but not the root cause is actually a kind of slow death. If they can't kill it with one blow, then the longer the time goes on, the greater the losses and consumption on their side will be.

Now the only feasible way to really help the coastal countries on the Arabian Peninsula is to invade the Persian Plateau immediately.

Only by defeating the main force of the Condor Empire on the Persian Plateau can they prevent the Condor Empire from engaging in any more maritime invasions.

Because once the Persian Plateau is breached, all the naval bases of the Condor Empire in the Persian Gulf will be lost.

Without the naval base, the naval fleet of the Condor Empire would naturally be unable to dominate the Red Sea region.

Therefore, after discovering that the Condor Empire was preparing to fight a war of attrition with them by relying on their superiority on the sea, Raymond immediately decided to launch a general attack on the Persian Plateau.

Now they can no longer drag it out, otherwise it will definitely be a dead end.

If they want to survive, they must attack the Persian Plateau and capture all the seaports of the Condor Empire in the Persian Gulf Basin.
