Chapter 30 Split
Seeing a group of colleagues looking at him, Sumu's heart tightened, and even he himself didn't know what kind of oscillation it would cause once the news was announced. When he learned that the enemy's division of troops could be directed to Baliya, the Baliians retreated; if he announced that the enemy had two main divisions entering the northern part of the Sulawesi Principal through the dense forest area, it shows that even in terms of number, Tanghe people already have an absolute advantage. In Yada City, there are no defensive fortifications at all. If you want to resist the attack of the Tanghe people, let alone Sumu doesn't believe it, even if the Grand Duke of Sulawesi himself, he can only say that giving up is the hard truth.
The Principal of Sulawesi, which has never been threatened by foreign threats, has always paid little attention to national defense due to its special geographical location. The Gaoyue people are often disturbed by the foothills of the Dahenduan Mountains. They usually dispatch the defense army to act as an exercise. Symbolic show and intimidate can also play a role. After all, there are only tens of thousands of people in Gaoyue people, and they all live in mountainous areas. No one wants to go to the mountains to dislike them, so most of the time they are like each other.
It's okay. The Principal of Sulawesi is surrounded by allies or signatories of the Treaty of Urgen. There is really no big war. Whether the defense army hires soldiers, it is often used to suppress some peasant slave uprisings and bandits who have risen up due to poverty. If you want cities like Yada City, serf uprisings or bandits, it is impossible to pose any threat to Yada City, so the city defense of Yada City can be imagined.
"Everyone, I just received another piece of information. Two main divisions of Tanghe people entered the northwest of Sulawi. I think it may be time for us to think about how to deal with it." Sumu's thick voice echoed in the conference hall, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was like pouring a scoop of cold water into a boiling oil pan, and immediately screamed. Almost at the same time, the generals whose nerves were almost collapsed had the idea of being finished when they heard this news.
"What?! Two more divisions are coming?! What exactly are these damn Tanghe people doing? Do they really want to conquer the entire South?!"
"Blessed by the Buddha Lord, it is the main division again. The enemy already has eight divisions of up to 180,000 people. What should we do? If we stay in this damn Yada City, we will all become prisoners of the Tanghe people!"
"General Sumu, do you think this Yada City can be held in a stable manner? Look at the dilapidated walls and bare fortifications, stone casters, rolling wood, rocks, gray bottles, oh, there is nothing, how can you tell us to guard this city?"
"Go back home! Go back home! This Yada City is just a woman who takes off her clothes and lets others ravage. We can't throw our lives here. Any city in the south is better than the defense here!"
The noise of noise immediately filled the entire hall, and some officers who were not speaking were smoking cigarettes or swallowing tea in big mouthfuls of tea and wondering what to do. Although the alliance had a mutual assistance treaty, the enemy's strength is now too strong, far beyond our own side. This Yada City is obviously not a place suitable for persistence. In addition, the enemy has divided its troops to Bali. If we really want to stick here, once the enemy casts its main force on Bali, and then counterattacks, the coalition forces will not even have a way out. And there seems to be no suspense in the fall of Bali. With the military and national strength that Bali has, if there is no assistance from the alliance countries, if the enemy has the military strength and national strength, if there is no assistance from the alliance countries, it is afraid that the enemy will be able to use two divisions. However, almost all the troops that can be used in the eastern part of the alliance are gathered in this Yada City, where can there be any force to reinforce Bali?
"Everyone, please be calm. Hysteria will not help solve the problem. I suggest that the coalition forces and the principality government evacuate Yada first and move to Kutterdam. I wonder what you think?" Sumu knew that he would continue to discuss with these guys and didn't know when he would say it, so he made his own suggestions.
"Cutdam? It seems that there are no defense facilities in Cutterdam? Why not retreat to Legon?"
"What's good about Legon? I think it's safer to make defenses in the Principality of Medan. We can mobilize reserve troops immediately and organize at least 100,000 troops!"
"Tsk, 100,000 people? The farmers who bring a hoe to call the soldiers? Stop the cold. You are helping the Tanghe people transport civilians!"
There was another noisy debate, and Sumu, who tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, could no longer help: "Enough, please keep the demeanor of a soldier, don't be like a woman scolding the street. Just decide like this. General Dama, please inform the Grand Duke immediately, ask him to prepare, and go to Kutterdam immediately. The coalition forces will set off immediately. We will organize defense in Kutterdam."
"I oppose! General Sumu, if you bring the coalition forces to Kutterdam to defend like this, it is equivalent to completely opening our Medan Principality to the Tanghe people. What should we do? The Tanghe people have more than 100,000 people. Now our Medan Principality cannot resist the invasion of the Tanghe people even if we mobilize war immediately. Kutterdam is in the southeast. If the Tanghe people throw away Kutterdam and go south directly from the front, then the one that bears the brunt is our Medan Principality. What should we do? And this possibility is even greater! There is already a precedent, the Balinese people are now life and death, and I can't see it.
Watch our Duchy of Medan be finished!" A dark-skinned general stood up. He was Maloda, the general of the Principality of Medan. He had never spoken, just thinking about what to do next. Now the coalition forces are in short supply. In his opinion, even if the coalition forces are concentrated, they may not be the opponent of the Tanghe people. Now, Kutterdam and the city of Voda in his own country may be the target of attack by the Tanghe people. Once Voda loses, the capital of the Principality will be placed in front of the enemy and become flesh on the knife board and be slaughtered. He cannot tolerate this phenomenon.
"General Maloda, what do you think should do? The coalition forces set out to your Voda fortification? What if the Tanghe people go south and occupy Kutterdam and continue to go south? Legon has no troops to resist the invasion!" Sumu said sternly.
"General Sumu, should Legon be more important than our Medan?! You are too much! People in your city-states seem to think that our principalities are poorer than you, so they should be born to sacrifice for you, right? I think you are thinking about your own property? Do you feel the pain if you lose Legon?" As of this, Maloda has no scruples. If Sumu insists on forging defense in Kutterdam, it is clearly to sacrifice Medan and Bali, and even the Principality of Sulawesi to win time. As long as the war with the Pasha people in the west is over, the Nanyang Alliance and the Machikhans send troops here, they can fight the Tanghe people with all their strength, and they may even give up the three principalities in exchange for the Tanghe people's silence. Thinking of this, Maloda has strengthened his thoughts.
"You! General Maloda, please be careful. I have never said who should sacrifice for whom! As for the industry you mentioned, it has nothing to do with the war! I just want to ask, what do you think you should do now?" Sumu was furious, but he couldn't help but admit that the other party had said that he had reached his heart. The three principalities were relatively poor, and every year they all had to go to other city-states and urban republics to allocate some funds to support the three countries, especially the Principality of Baliya and the Principality of Sulawesi. If he wanted to choose which one to save which one, he would naturally choose to protect the city-state of Legon and the Principality of Medan. However, this kind of thought could only be said in his heart and must not be exposed on the surface.
"What should I do? I suggest that the coalition forces go to Voda for defense first, and also ask the Nanyang Alliance and the Machi Khanate to send troops as soon as possible and ask them to help defend Kutterdam! We, Medan, are the enemy head-on response to the south. We must ensure Voda's safety!" Maloda replied with a grim smile. The Nanyang Alliance and the Machi Khan had actually informed them of the war situation as soon as the alliance sent troops, but the Nanyang Alliance Parliament's parliament has always been inefficient in its service and is well-known far and wide. The Machi Khans have conquered many troops in recent years, and their troops are restrained. I am afraid that it is not possible to reinforce the alliance. In the early stage, they can only rely on themselves, so whoever can win time will be able to persevere to the final victory. Maloda knows this better than anyone else.
It seemed that the other party was going to fight against him. Su Mu looked at the other party with a gloomy face: "General Maloda, we cannot accept your opinion. If you insist on doing this, I have to say sorry."
"Hmph, Sumu, I have known for a long time that you would not agree with my opinion. In your eyes, I am afraid that Medan will not be able to bear the hair of you southern city-states if you do not have a plan. Then we will go to your Yangguan Road and I will walk on my single-plank bridge! But I want to remind you that once we Medan is finished, I think it will be your turn to Moro and East Samoa!" He snorted coldly from his nose, and the black-faced strong man stood up and went out with the Medan mercenary leader. Finally, he said at the door: "You are not kind, don't blame us for being unrighteous!"
