Chapter 238: Seizing Several Islands
The commander of the Marine Corps was confident that the Secretary of the Navy was unaware of the matter.
However, what he did not expect was that the Minister of the Navy knew about this just one day later.
The Navy Minister Feng Ziqi looked gloomy and angrily asked, "Does he still intend to continue doing this?"
"How could he do such a ridiculous thing! Please tell him that this is the only time and it will never happen again!"
Hearing this, the adjutant beside him quickly responded: "Yes!"
When the Marine Corps Commandant learned that the Minister did not blame him.
The big stone hanging in my heart finally fell down, and I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
On the other hand, after successfully capturing Okinawa Island, Yan State immediately launched a fierce offensive towards other islands.
After just three days, they successfully captured Okinoerabu Island and ruthlessly destroyed the entire island, turning it into ruins.
A week later, the Yan Kingdom's army successfully occupied Dezhi Island.
The Dongyang State defenders on the island showed an extremely tenacious spirit of resistance and would rather die than surrender.
Perhaps it was because they learned what had happened on Okinawa Island that these soldiers knew they had no way out and could only fight to the death.
Unfortunately, in the end, they could not escape their fate and were slaughtered by the Yan State’s troops.
Two weeks passed in a flash, and Yan Country achieved another major victory, successfully occupying Amami Oshima.
At this time, they were already very close to attacking the core area of Dongyang State...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
At this time, the Dongyang State's army deployed in the four northern provinces of Dazhou State fell into an unprecedented predicament and suffered successive defeats.
Although from the perspective of pure military proficiency, the soldiers of Dongyang State may be slightly better, but facing the powerful coalition forces composed of four countries, this advantage seems insignificant.
Especially the other three countries, they have advanced weapons from Yan Country, and their firepower is astonishing.
These sophisticated equipments were like a sharp sword, easily tearing through the defense line of the Dongyang army, making the already difficult battle situation even worse.
Under such a powerful offensive, the Dongyang army was completely unable to resist and could only retreat step by step.
In desperation, the Army Minister of Dongyang State had to make a painful decision - ordering the army to retreat to Goryeo State in order to preserve its strength.
At this point, after going through hardships, Dazhou State finally succeeded in expelling Dongyang State's troops from its territory and achieved complete recovery.
The land that was once lost has now returned to the embrace of the motherland, and every inch of land, including Gaoshan Island and Qiongya Island, is filled with the joy of victory.
However, the war did not end there.
Because Yan State had temporary military use rights here, it could continue its military operations against Dongyang State.
However, just as the four-nation coalition forces launched a fierce attack on Goryeo, the army of Dazhou seemed somewhat careless, as if they were deliberately delaying time and slacking off.
They did not show the necessary fighting spirit and initiative at all, let alone launch an attack.
For the two presidents of the Great State, they have now successfully recovered all the lost territories, and the strategic goals set at the beginning have been successfully achieved.
In their eyes, there is really no need to prolong the war so as to avoid causing more unnecessary casualties and losses.
Faced with the perfunctory attitude of Dazhou State, Marshal Chen Yixin was furious and severely condemned it.
In his opinion, the move by the Great State not only violated the trust and commitment between the allies, but also had an extremely adverse impact on the entire war situation.
At the same time, Annan was also unwilling to continue to participate in this battle.
Although Yan Country had given them tremendous support and assistance, they believed that they had repaid Yan Country's kindness through practical actions.
At this point, they felt they had done their job with a clear conscience and did not need to get further involved in the war.
So, just one week later, Annan resolutely announced its formal withdrawal from the Four-Nation Alliance and led its army back home.
As for the Dazhou Kingdom, although it has not yet explicitly stated its withdrawal from the coalition, in fact its actions are no different from withdrawal.
However, time flies, two weeks passed in a flash, and something unexpected happened - the Dazhou Kingdom suddenly announced to the outside world that it would withdraw from the coalition for unknown reasons!
Not only that, they allowed Yan State to enjoy temporary military use rights within its territory.
It was also made clear that this permission would continue until the war against Dongyang State came to an end.
In this way, of the once powerful and aggressive coalition of four nations, only Yan and Taishan remain to hold on.
This sudden change undoubtedly gave Dongyang State a rare opportunity to catch its breath.
When the Army Minister of Dongyang State learned of this shocking news, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself and fell into extreme excitement.
Because he knew very well that if there was no powerful coalition of four countries, the Dongyang Army would definitely be able to firmly defend the land of Goryeo with its strength.
Things have come to this point, the situation is pressing, and Yan State has no choice.
They had to withdraw part of the forces from the original fleet, form a new fleet, and turn to attack Jeju Island of Goryeo.
At the same time, just half a month after the Great State announced its withdrawal from the coalition, an uproar broke out in the country.
A fierce battle suddenly broke out between the two presidents!
However, it is worth mentioning that although the two sides were fighting fiercely, they both announced to the outside world at the same time.
No matter which side wins in the end, they will definitely return all the aid materials previously provided by Yan State.
