Section 17 Bright Sword (3)
Bo Jinchen listened silently to Wufeng's analysis. Although he still hasn't heard how much the other party's analysis has to do with the AstraZeneca League, he believes that the other party will not be aimless.
"But now we have an opportunity. The drought in the East Continent has lasted for a year. The impact of the disaster on all sides has gradually emerged. The Maqi Khan is no exception. However, the Maqi Khan controls Yuejing, Jiemeiluo, Ankun and Baling. These places are the main grain-producing areas. With their local grain production and original grain reserves, they should be able to survive this year, but what about next year? There is evidence that the Eastern Continent will usher in a bigger disaster year next year, and the food crisis will be further intensified. By then, even if the Maqi Khan has Yuejing, Baling,
The food supply in the land and other places cannot meet the entire domestic poison at all. What should the Maqi Khan do? Import from the outside world? They can only import from land and sea through the South China Ocean Alliance. If we can fight to the seaside of the South China Ocean in one go, we can not only lead to the land passage to the Eastern continent, but also control the maritime passage between the Eastern continent and the Central continent through the navy. In this way, the Maqi Khan will be in trouble. If we can make good use of this situation, it will definitely greatly weaken the Maqi Khan's strength." Wu Feng finally got to the point.
"Sir, your basis and opinions cannot agree with each other!" Bo Jinchen could no longer hold back, his breathing became rapid, and he stood up suddenly: "Your Highness, I want to admit that you bet on this drought gambling in the Eastern Continent, but the changes in the celestial phenomena are not controlled by human resources. How can you determine that next year will be a disaster year? This is not just a risk, but also a pure gambling. I don't think that achieving great things can be achieved by betting like this! The Maqihan and the Nanyang Alliance are dependent on each other, and you also said, Maqihan
People can completely import grain through the sea and land channel of the South China Alliance. Even if you wish, next year will be a disaster year. The Maqi Khans can still get food supplements from the Central Continent. It is impossible to block the transportation line of the Maqi Khans by controlling the land channel alone. As for the naval army you mentioned, the blockade of the maritime transportation line may not be as simple as you imagined. The naval army cannot be built in one or two days, and the inland waters and marine navies are completely different. With our current navigators who want to get the sea transportation line to the South China Sea, it is not realistic at all!"
Wufeng was prepared for the two views raised by the other party. Not long after Bo Jinchen joined his subordinates, many of the more core things were not that he could not know, but that he did not have the opportunity to understand them. Wufeng felt that it was necessary to give the other party a dose of a heart-wrenching injection.
"You don't know much about some situations. I can't say that you will encounter a major disaster next year. However, according to the inferences of some scholars, this possibility is still very high, so I decided that this treasure can be taken again. As for the problem of the naval army you mentioned, I admit that you made some sense, but I never thought that the existing naval army in the northwest would be like controlling the southern sea passage. But you don't worry about this and I have my own arrangements. I must always be able to firmly jamm the throat of the Maqikhans before I dare to raise troops to go south, otherwise this will lose the ultimate meaning of going south. Of course there will be risks, but it is worth it compared to our success." Wu Feng did not explain too much, but gave the other party a positive answer.
"Oh?" Bo Jinchen raised his eyebrows in surprise. Could it be that this master still has some reservations about the water power? However, the Western Inland Water Army was first established, even if it was hidden, it was very limited. It is far from a few small ships to block the maritime transportation line. This master should be very clear about this, but why is the other party still so confident? Since the other party did not clearly point out the issue of maritime transportation blockade, Bo Jinchen couldn't ask further. However, after pondering for a while, he slowly said: "Since Your Highness is so sure, you have no subordinates.
It can be said that, but my subordinates still want to remind Your Highness that it is not impossible for His Highness to fight to the coast of the South Ocean in one go, but Your Highness must also be mentally prepared. Once the Pasha people stop the time to stand in the armistice, the Peninsula Alliance's army may all be pressing towards the Eastern continent. Once the South Ocean Alliance feels that our existence threatens their commercial interests, they may also interfere with it. Once the two sides merge, our pressure in the south will be quite high, and it is very likely to fall into a protracted tug-of-war. Your Highness must not ignore this."
Wufeng's face was finally serious: "Recently, this is what you said. The Peninsula Alliance is composed of countless small countries and city-states. If only one or several countries are there, with the strength of our Western Xinjiang, it is no problem. But once the entire alliance unites and work together, we will bear considerable pressure, and the degree of risk will rise in a geometric multiple. If the Nanyang Alliance really gets involved wholeheartedly, it is hard to say the outcome. However, every war has risks. If everything is done, then there is no need to fight this battle. Just talk and draw a picture on the map to solve the problem. There are too many variables in the war. Before it is over, no one can guarantee that there will be no mistakes in it. But I think this battle can be fought!"
Taking a deep breath, Bo Jinchen also knew that the master must have the idea that no one could bring him back, and the other party was right. Every war was risky, so how could he sit in bed and wait for the enemy to surrender or gain good things? And the two major alliances in the south were not impeccable.
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much. In terms of your subordinates, whether it is the Peninsula Alliance or the South China League, they are national alliances, not an independent and sovereign state. Although they are fighting for their own interests, there are differences in the size of interests and the depth of relationships. You are thinking that Your Highness should have a lot of experience in this regard. As long as you use it well, you should be able to find something that can be used." Bo Jinchen's face gradually recovered his normal mood, and he spoke a lot more casually.
"You seem to have something to say. But it's right. If you can avoid using military means to solve problems, then of course it's good. Winning above the temple is the highest level of war. Haha, war is just a pursuit of a result. As for the methods, it's just a process. Whether it's political pressure, diplomatic means, or military actions, as long as you can get the desired result at the minimum cost, it's the most correct one." Wu Feng smiled and shook his head. The demise of the Taiping Cult suffered a lot in this regard. He was not good at using means other than military to win. This is the biggest weakness of the Taiping Cult, a country bumpkin who started from the countryside.
Bo Jinchen could only say nothing after smiling bitterly about his master's shameless opinion. Yes, the result determines everything, and this is reality.
The trip to Geroke ended soon, and Wufeng did not stay for too long. Wufeng obviously did not have much mental preparation for the marriage with Princess Anne proposed by Grand Duke Alan. However, with Situ Yutang as a shield in front, Wufeng could easily resolve the contradiction. On the day he received the information from the intelligence department, Wufeng informed Ling Tian through Xue Ge in an urgent report to come up with the combat plan of the South Peninsula Alliance in the shortest time, and quickly mobilized the army to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Even though Gerok was in trouble, large-scale military mobilization was immediately launched. The Third Light Cavalry Regiment stationed in Tianshui immediately set off along Longdong and entered the northwest, detoured through Guide and entered Nantesilo. The 70,000 National Defense Forces of Gerok also mobilized the entire army according to Bo Jinchen's requirements. Except for 20,000 people as the guards of Molington, the remaining 50,000 were unified and commanded by Bo Jinchen. The three divisions of the Nantesilo Corps and the Imperial Army dispatched military divisions.
The regiment quickly gathered together to make final preparations for the upcoming war. In conjunction with Nanteluoke's actions, the Third Corps of the Western Xinjiang stationed in Anyuan and Tianshui, and the Hejian line also began to mobilize small-scale. Although the range of movement was not as large as that of Nanteluoke, this line was not only a sensitive area of the Kaman people, but also the focus of the central government of the empire. It was difficult to escape the hidden gaze of the spies with the help of refugees fleeing everywhere.
The various dynamics of Nanteluoke and its surrounding Beiyuan and Heshuo areas were fed back to the hands of interested people in the east and north in the shortest time. Such a large-scale military mobilization in Western Xinjiang, especially the transfer of the Third Ranger Regiment, which was recently reorganized by the Tubu Cavalry, to Nanteluoke, was attracted by the attention of the north.
His fat body seemed to have lost weight, and even his slightly bald head seemed even more sparse at this time. The troubles over the past few months made the old man want to have the urge to take off his burden and rest for a while, but he knew that unless he completely collapsed, he would never be able to get a moment of stability.
It was late at night, and the butter candle on the desk radiated a bright light quietly. The candle flames remained still, like a sculpture. Sometimes the breeze passed by, and the candle flames were found to sway gently. They had been wandering back and forth in front of the desk numerals, but the old man still had no intention of sitting down. The sound of smacking his lips from time to time was very crisp in the empty room.
"What does Li Wufeng want to do? After inspecting Morlington, do you really want to help the Jeroks recover Morlington? The Jeroks' beauty trick is not so effective, right?" murmured to himself, the short and fat old man kneaded his nose hard, and he didn't even feel that his nose turned red.
