Compared with El's Hiran Army, Su Cheng's Britannia Army's progress was quite smooth.
The reason why El's Hiran army was unable to advance further was because their transportation capacity was insufficient.
To put it simply, there are not enough vehicles, civilians, and animal power to transport supplies.
The Britannia Army does not have this problem.
With a speed several times that of Hiran's army, the Britannia army annexed all the territory south of Bailu at the speed of wind and waves.
Then, they took advantage of the situation and annexed the remaining eastern territories that Xilan's army was unable to annex.
Anyway, according to the previous agreement between the two countries - when one party is unable to annex the remaining territories of the Frank Empire, the other party has the right to help the other party annex it.
Therefore, the Britannia army acted in a righteous manner, and the people of the Holy Hiran Empire could not blame the Britannia people.
After the Britannian Empire's army annexed the last city in the easternmost part of the Frankish Empire, the "Watch the Rhine" plan could finally be declared victorious.
The "Watch the Rhine" project lasted for nearly a year.
The Britannia Empire sent troops in the spring of 300 AD, and the Britannia Empire completed the conquest of all the territories of the Frankish Empire in the spring of 301 AD.
The biggest beneficiary of this war is undoubtedly the Britannia Empire.
The Hundred Years' War, which lasted for more than a hundred years, ended. The old enemy the Frank Empire was destroyed, and more than two-thirds of the territory of the Frank Empire was successfully annexed.
The territory of the Britannia Empire also borders the Far Eastern Prairies for the first time.
It became the second huge empire in mainland history with the sea to the west and the prairie to the east.
As for the first one, it was naturally the Su Yinglan Empire thousands of years ago.
Thousands of years ago, during the reign of Arthur, the Suyingland Empire also briefly accomplished the great achievement of being "connected to the sea to the west and the grassland to the east."
Compared with the happy ending of the Britannia Empire, the Holy Hiran Empire was much worse.
The Holy Hiran Empire only annexed the land north of Belu and part of the land east of Belu, occupying less than one-third of the Frankish Empire in total.
Su Cheng understood El's insistence on not letting the army advance any further.
After all, he is also a commander, and Su Cheng is naturally quite aware of the consequences of continuing to advance when the supply line has reached its limit.
Su Cheng believed that if the identities between him and El were exchanged, he would definitely make the same choice as El.
Su Cheng understands El, but people in the center of the Holy Shiran Empire - such as Vasili don't understand El, that's a big problem...
Based on Su Cheng's understanding of Vasili - Vasili, who would mess up military orders during the "Iron Hammer" operation, does not look like someone who can understand the importance of supply lines...
Thinking of the sight of Emperor Vasili of the Holy Hiran Empire hysterically issuing an edict, asking El to march quickly, Su Cheng couldn't help but sympathize with and admire El.
Su Cheng admired El's willingness to withstand such great pressure and not let his troops be put in danger. This kind of courage made Su Cheng admire him.
The "Watch the Rhine Plan" was successfully concluded, and the Frankish Empire had been destroyed. The 300,000 troops of the Britannia Empire, excluding those troops stationed in the territory of the "original Frankish Empire", began to withdraw into the country in an orderly manner.
…
…
"Su Cheng, Su Cheng."
After hearing someone calling him, Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes.
After opening his eyes and raising his head from the table, Su Cheng saw Alyssa's pretty face.
Looking at his wife's face, a smile emerged from the corners of Su Cheng's raised lips.
"Alyssa...you are obviously 31 years old this year, but you still look like a 21-year-old girl. It's really profitable to marry a wife like you who doesn't look old."
"Idiot! Don't tell me my true age!" Alyssa looked at Su Cheng's head,
He said this angrily.
Since Alyssa turned 30, she suddenly became very concerned about her age and hated others telling her true age.
Although Alyssa is very concerned about her age now, perhaps because of her natural beauty, she does not look like she is over 30 at all.
If you pick up a random passerby on the street and ask him to guess Alyssa's age based on his first impression, the passerby will definitely think that Alyssa is only in her early twenties.
Su Cheng recently found that there were many people around him whose actual age was completely invisible.
The same goes for his other wife, Carol, who looks nothing like a married woman with two children.
The same goes for Su Cheng's sister Alan.
I don’t know how Alan grew up, but her height and appearance seem to be forever fixed at the age of 14.
Alan, who is 26 years old this year, still looks the same as he did when he was 14 years old.
After playing around with Alyssa, Su Cheng rubbed his eyes that were still a little tired.
"Alyssa, why did you wake me up? Is there any urgent military situation?"
"It's nothing serious, I just came to tell you that it's time to rest."
"Is the rest time coming so soon... If I had known, I would have set the rest time to be longer..."
"Don't be lazy!" Alyssa said unhappily, "If we set off now, we can cross the Rhine before the sun sets!"
The troops returning home led by Su Cheng have now advanced very close to the Rhine.
If they speed up, they can cross the Rhine before the sun sets as Alyssa said and return to the Britannia Empire.
"Finally I can go back home..." Alyssa sighed, stretching her body, "The long Hundred Years War is over... There are no enemies in the south and the east, and the Holy Xilan Empire in the north is our ally. We can finally live a peaceful life..."
"We have been fighting for years... We can also take advantage of the time when life is calm and have a good rest."
"...Peaceful life...?" After hearing Alyssa's words, a meaningful bitter smile appeared on Su Cheng's face, "Alyssa... Although the Frank Empire has perished, it is still a long way from us to live a peaceful life..."
"Huh?" Alyssa cast a puzzled look at Su Cheng, "What do you mean? The Roland Empire and the Frank Empire have perished, why can't we calm down?"
"Because... Isn't there an empire on this continent that has not surrendered to us?"
"There is... an empire...?"
Alyssa's eyebrows slowly widened in shock.
