Section 60

The intelligence analysis meeting was very successful. Gu Dengyun and Wen Jie made special reports on behalf of the Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency respectively. Under the topic of taking into account the changes in the situation in the entire continent, the situation in the empire, the situation in Maqikhan and Sanjiang, and the situation in the Indochina Peninsula Alliance.

The report of the Intelligence Agency focuses on comprehensive intelligence sorting and analysis, while the Military Intelligence Agency focuses on military strategy. Wufeng is very satisfied with the performance of the two up-and-coming stars, especially Wen Jie, who can integrate into the circle of the Military Intelligence Agency in such a short time and win the recognition of his boss. This is quite difficult. Linghu Yi will not easily identify with one person, but Wufeng has heard the praise from his military intelligence director several times.

The situation within the empire had some subtle changes. Situ Tai's strong power was vaguely manifested through its military strength. It took the entire Donghai County in one breath and defeated Situ Yuan's 10th Army and fled in a panic. Jinling's dangerous important land only lasted for two months. Although there were many reasons, such a symbolic city fell into Situ Tai's hands, making many conservative gentry members who had already recognized Situ Lang's orthodox emperor's identity as Situ Lang began to live again.

Especially Situ Lang's performance in the face of the weakness of the Kaman people and the Taiping Army made many noble families disappointed in the imperial capital. The gentry and landlords who escaped from the occupied areas such as Beiyuan, Yanyun and Heshuo were even more intimate, asking the empire to come up with a timetable to recover the occupied areas and return the mountains and rivers as soon as possible. However, the imperial army that had been defeated repeatedly has done its best to maintain the current status quo. Such a result could not satisfy the prominent and noble families who fled to the imperial capital. They united around lobbying the wealthy families in the capital, trying to force His Majesty the Emperor to order the Imperial Guard Corps to open the Imperial Guard Corps to join the battlefield against the Kaman people and the Taiping Army. However, this was firmly rejected by Situ Lang, because once the Imperial Guard Corps failed, I was afraid that his emperor would really come to an end and he could not take this risk.

This also made many nobles gradually disappointed with the new emperor who had not yet established enough authority. These nobles were united, slandering the government all day long, and used the news media they controlled to constantly criticize the empire's central government for being corrupt, depraved, weak and incompetent. Although they did not dare to directly target His Majesty the Emperor, the important ministers of various departments in the court became their targets of concentrated attacks. The statement that they tended to support Situ Tai ascended the throne also spread quietly in the imperial capital and in the north. This sign was taken as Jinling City.

The entire Donghai county represented by the representatives seemed more obvious after it fell into the hands of Situ Tai. In addition, the First Legion defeated the Puer people's invasions in the city of Beiping, forcing the Puer people to withdraw completely from Peiping Prefecture. The Kaman army in Cangzhou Prefecture also voluntarily withdrew from Cangzhou, which made Situ Tai's reputation reach an unprecedented peak. As a omen, the call for the appointment of Situ Tai as King of Qi quickly rose, which made Situ Lang even more in a serious crisis.

The situation in the Wuhu area is even more mysterious. Situ Biao's potential power has begun to show signs. The large land nobles led by the Sox family publicly supported Situ Biao, and some commercial nobles also agreed, making Situ Biao's power completely overwhelmed Situ Jun in the Wuhu. Wen Ning's recovery made him famous. With the support of the two major granaries of Anqing and Yueyang, even in the face of drought, his logistics support was still much better than others. Situ Jun's power has shrunk completely, with the Fifth Army and two independent divisions for more than ten times.

Wan Dajun hurried in a small Huanggang Mansion, and the huge financial and logistical pressure made Situ Jun almost breathless. The Maqi Khans of Baling Mansion seemed to have determined to defend the enemy. The garrison stationed in Baling increased from two corps to three, close to 100,000 people, which forced Situ Biao, who originally wanted to recover Baling in one go, had to suppress this idea. Faced with the 100,000 Maqi Khan army, he had no courage or strength to fight against the other side head-on. Even if he had an advantage in the navy, he would not dare to do so.

The situation outside the empire was as confusing. After defeating the Dutun army's counterattack many times, the Japanese had successfully gained a foothold in the Crescent Peninsula and began to steadily implement colonial rule. Not only did they take over all the property belonging to the Dutun conquest and civilians, but they also sold all the few Dutun people on the Crescent Peninsula to various parts of the Southeast Asian region and even the Central Continent as slaves. A large number of Japanese people began to move to the Crescent Peninsula to the foregone conclusion.

This method aroused the anger of the Dutun people, but without the support of the Imperial Navy, the several maritime wars launched by the Dutun people ended in the defeat of the Dutun people. The two landing battles initiated attempted to land from the middle of the Crescent Peninsula to encircle the fortress. The Japanese were also wiped out by the strict defense and vigilance of the Japanese. The Japanese, who rushed like locusts, quickly occupied all parts of the Crescent Peninsula. The number of Japanese civilians on the Crescent Peninsula quickly reached about 150,000, which was twice the number of residents of the original owner, the Dutun people.

Gu Quan also added the development of the Japanese in recent years. Liyuan Mountains and Rivers have unified the entire Japanese. Except for the Tianqiu tribe and Shengbi tribe who are still struggling, the rest of the troops have been subordinated to the Liyuan tribe. The total population and territory of the Japanese have accounted for about 70% of the Japanese, with a population of nearly 3 million. Due to the large number of people on the island and the lack of various resources, although Liyuan tribe has completed the unification of most of the Japanese people, the lives of ordinary Japanese people are still very difficult, and class contradictions are still very prominent. Many middle and upper-class tyrants do not support the civil war on the island. Therefore, Liyuan Mountains and Rivers have brazenly launched the northern expedition to the Crescent Peninsula without completing the unification to win the support of the internal tyrants.

The success of the Crescent Peninsula not only eased the conflicts within the Japanese, but also allowed a large number of terrestrially sanctuary to settle down, but also greatly stimulated the expansion of the middle and upper-class Japanese tyrants. Their goals were no longer limited to the Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands of the Dodon people, but also turned their attention to Kamchatka and the Ryuki Islands to the east. However, given that the Tanghe Empire's naval forces were still strong, the Japanese army suffered extremely heavy losses on the Crescent Peninsula, and the Crescent Peninsula still needed the support of the navy controlled by Situ Tai, so they were reluctant to launch it.

However, a new round of Japanese military expansion has begun. The Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands have become the best attractions for the Ritual Mountains and Rivers to attract the fanatic spirit of the rich and ordinary people. The Standing Army and Reserve Army have greatly improved, and selling more than tens of thousands of civilians into slaves also provided a solid financial foundation for the Ritual Mountains and Rivers.

From the continuous transport fleets of the Great East Ocean to the Crescent Peninsula and the Japanese land, we can see the Japanese's desire for various strategic materials. The harvest of grain from the Japanese land in the Great East Ocean also gave Liyuan Mountains and Sichuan a basis for trade. The high grain prices on the mainland made Liyuan Mountains and Sichuan desperately collect all the excess grains among the people of the Japanese land to the mainland in exchange for strategic materials such as raw iron, weapons, cloth, lacquer, tung oil, solid wood, copper and other strategic materials. The smuggling fleet was rampant. The embargo issued by the Empire has become a piece of waste paper. As long as you have money, any material will dare to be imported into the Japanese land. Even war horses that are very scarce in the imperial army quietly flow into the Japanese land, and the number is quite large.

The crazy actions of the Japanese made everyone here worry. The opinion that the Japanese will become an unprecedented enemy in the Tanghe Empire in the future was unanimously recognized by everyone. The extreme desire for various interests such as land and wealth will make them step forward in foreign wars faster and faster, and the frequency will also be faster. The fanatical worship of the strong and oppressing the weak in their nation is very likely to make them target the declining Tanghe Empire in the near future, which cannot help but make Wufeng feel a little worried, especially when his navy force is not strong enough.

In contrast, the actions of the Maqi Khans were much gentler and more relaxed, but this does not mean that the Maqi Khans were better dealing with than the Japanese. With Lei Juetian, a politician who knew the current situation in the empire and was talented, the Maqi Khans, who were eyeing their own territory, were the most realistic threat in Wufeng's heart. Especially the decline of the Sanjiang Lin family was an opportunity. If the Maqi Khans seized Sanjiang, Wufeng's southern territory would inevitably face the danger of being cut off. Wufeng's capture of Sanjiang, and the territory that the Maqi Khans, including Yuejing and Baling, might become Wufeng's next delicacy. Sanjiang has become a key point that concerns the rise and fall of the power of the Maqi Khans and the Western Xinjiang Protectorate.

Among the four people here, except Wen Jie was not sure about the relationship between the boss and the third lady of the Lin family, even Gu Dengyun knew a little. Only Wen Jie was not aware of it and eagerly proposed that he should attack Sanjiang with all his might and take Sanjiang in one fell swoop to ensure the safety of the southern territory. However, he found that his proposal did not receive the expected response. He was a little strange, but when he saw the strange and embarrassing expressions on his faces of the three colleagues, he wondered if he had violated Wufeng's taboo in some respect.

Wufeng also felt a little embarrassed, which was also the biggest trouble that entangled him. Of course, the relationship with Lin Yuexin is one reason, and the other reason is that his army's defense range is too wide, and there are not many mobile troops that can concentrate. Tiannan and Myanmar have just recovered, and he was also a little worried that he would not be able to eat too much. The Western Xinjiang Protectorate's Office has never submitted a reply, and Tiannan and Myanmar have also not received formal recognition from the Central Committee of the Empire. Although Wufeng was not afraid of anything, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
