Chapter 778 Cross-Sea Support

However, while Yan Yue was still hesitating, someone spoke faster than her.

He Guicai stood up and said, "But the threat from the border of Leizhou is real. If we divide our troops to Xiema Island, I am worried that the defense force of Ganzhou will be empty. And if we can determine that the main attack target of the Seven Stars Privy Council is Xiema, we can take the opportunity to capture Shangyuan and completely expel the enemy's forces from Qiguo. This is also a matter of vital importance to Your Highness."

At the end, his tone was already eager.

Most of the people present still follow an ancient tradition.

Although Jinxia City has developed extremely rapidly and the entire Shenzhou has become colorful, they always feel that something is missing.

As long as she does not enter Shangyuan, Princess Guangping will always be a princess.

Only when Ning Wanjun steps into the Taihe Hall and truly ascends the throne, can everyone truly change from a rebel to a dragon follower, and can they legitimately enjoy the rich benefits brought by this achievement.

Although the Bureau of Affairs has set the tone and is not in a hurry to expand its sphere of influence, when there is a chance to quickly unify Qi State, He Guicai and others are still unwilling to miss this opportunity.

"Xu Sanzhong, if I give you 20,000 people, can you prevent the enemy from setting foot in Leizhou?" Ning Wanjun looked at her commander.

Now the Jinxia army is expanding rapidly, and has successively recruited more than 30,000 new soldiers from Shenzhou. Together with the original main force, the scale has reached 50,000. These 50,000 are not the false reports commonly seen in the past camps, but real combat soldiers. If it is placed in the court, all the logistics supply personnel are counted, and it is normal to boast that it is an army of 200,000.

According to Xia Fan's proposal, this army is divided into three divisions and a reserve force. Each division has 10,000 people, which is a standard old-to-new model. The 20,000 people in the reserve force are "rookies" who have just joined the team. They are uniformly concentrated in the camp outside the northern suburbs of Jinxia City for training. It usually takes two to three months to enter the combat unit and become a real soldier.

Twenty thousand people, equivalent to two main divisions, equipped with several artillery battalions and Xuanwu battalions, is already a very powerful force.

Considering that the reserve troops can only be stationed in Shenzhou, there is only one division left for the princess to dispatch - this undoubtedly puts most of Jinxia's power in the hands of her subordinates.

Xu Sanzhong immediately stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I may not be able to do it!"

"Your Highness..."

Staff Officer He wanted to persuade her again, but Ning Wanjun interrupted him, "What is Xiema? It is our tributary state. At that time, Wu Yueyao and I signed an agreement at Fengyang Villa. She expressed her loyalty to me, and I provided her with help and protection within my ability. At that time, Jinxia was still weak and unable to go to the other side of the sea to fight against the Dongsheng princes, so she could only provide salt and weapons. Now we have a strong army, and Xiema is in danger again. What reason does Jinxia have not to help!?"

At this point, she slapped the table hard, "Wu Yueyao's plan and actions were indeed not informed of Jinxia City in advance, but this is not a reason for us to shirk responsibility. If we refuse this request for help, will the other allies think that we will refuse the second and third time? Even if we can take Shangyuan City by chance, we will lose our righteousness - do you think that a mere Shangyuan City is more important, or righteousness and promises are more important?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

The reason why Ning Wanjun stood out from the army was because of her simple faith and personal charm of not putting her own interests above others. Everyone was willing to be loyal to her because they were attracted by this.

Especially the military, everyone was excited.

Damn Shangyuan City!

How can a capital city compare to the reputation of a princess? They couldn't let the corners of the wings be covered with dust.

Staff Officer He could only smile bitterly, but his eyes were mixed with some touch and emotion - after all, he was also a member of the border army who was attracted.

Only Sikong was not affected by the atmosphere. She glanced at Xia Fan, her expression full of confusion about the human dispute.

Xia Fan could only shrug at her.

He considered more than Ning Wanjun - in addition to the fact that Xiema Kingdom was Jinxia's ally, the movements of the Seven Stars Privy Council were also questionable. Although the other party's purpose is not clear for the time being, as long as it is what the enemy wants to do, it is not a bad thing to block it. Moreover, after Qixing took over Xiema Island, there was an unsinkable port of the Endless Sea, which was definitely not good news for Jinxia. Therefore, Xia Fan was more inclined to take the initiative and intercept Qixing halfway.

Ning Wanjun's speech convinced most of the participants.

Soon, the strategy of rushing to Xiema Island from thousands of miles away became a consensus among the top leaders. With a goal, the next step is to make a plan.

The most suitable ship for transportation is undoubtedly the tree boat.

A tree boat alone can carry more than 100,000 people, and it is not a problem to transport troops and supplies to Xiema at one time. However, since the tree boat is also the main fishing tool and is responsible for the food supply of Shenzhou, it cannot stay overseas for a long time. When the army lands on Xiema, the tree boat will withdraw to Jinxia Port.

Fortunately, the two sides can communicate at any time with the sound instrument, which is not a big problem.

Secondly, the construction of the Jinxia Navy has begun to show results. In addition to the flagship Baisha, the other three captured warships can also be put into the battlefield. After being modified, these four gunboats can all fire electromagnetic guns. Although they may seem small in size, their firepower is no less than that of a fully staffed Natarin main fleet, and they can easily undertake the landing cover mission.

Considering that the opponent is the Seven Stars Privy Council, high-level alchemists are also indispensable combat power.

Especially the blue-clothed alchemist mentioned by Wu Yueyao during the communication. After detailed analysis, Qian and Yan Qing believed that it was very likely to be one of the Seven Stars Envoys, and initially locked it to the Kaiyang Envoy of Fengguo. In the past cooperation, they had heard that the Kaiyang Envoy had the ability to be invulnerable to swords and guns, and was a very strong air sensor. Facing such a difficult opponent, only Qian and others could be sure to not lose the upper hand.

After determining the scale of support, the last step was to choose the landing site.

After a discussion among everyone, the landing place of the tree boat was finally decided to be Tsushima Prefecture, southwest of Yama. Although it is the main base of the Dongsheng Navy and can be regarded as a port town like a fortress, it is precisely because of this that once it is captured, the worries about logistical support can be eliminated. Next, whether it is to attack Bumi Prefecture in the north or to join Wu Yueyao's troops in the east, it is a feasible option.

Six hours later, at dawn, the news traveled across the sea on radio waves and reached the country of Yama.

The operation was named "Overlord".

Jinxia's reinforcement division will set out for the island in three days.
