Chapter 1114 Wild Vision of North Africa

"The end is here!"

The pyrotechnic evildoer decisively came out.

"Immediately return to the station, complete the assembly of the fleet as quickly as possible, and strive to capture the Maldives within a week. When this is accomplished, this king will give you a great achievement!" Ouyang Shuo ordered.

The total number of players in the Maldives is no more than 40,000, the imperial city of Male' has only 4,000 people, and the number of combat players will not exceed 7,000. Such an opponent, the Indian Ocean Fleet can completely handle it alone.

Moreover, the Maldives is a country of thousands of islands, which is most suitable for fleet landing operations.

This battle can also be regarded as a test of the actual combat capabilities of the Indian Ocean Fleet. The five fleets that Ouyang Shuo envisioned should have the capability to land independently in the future without the cooperation of the army.

Fleet musketeers shouldn't just shoot on battleships, but they are still qualified soldiers when they go ashore.

"Follow the king's order!"

The pyrotechnic evildoer saluted, took his leave and left immediately.

When the Indian Ocean Fleet takes the Maldives, the Indian Ocean section of the great route will have a new support, and it will not be subject to the Maurya Dynasty, giving Daxia another bargaining chip against TWP.

It's just that with the rise of the Maurya Dynasty in the Indian Ocean, coupled with the participation of the Arab Empire and the Persian Empire, the future Indian Ocean may no longer be peaceful, and it is bound to go through a period of adjustment and adaptation.

After the pyrotechnic evildoer left, Ouyang Shuo said to Álvaro, "The section between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, how is the general going to deal with it? Do you have a good plan?"

Compared with the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean are more complex.

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the cores of the European Continent. Less than half of the countries around the Mediterranean Sea are traditional maritime powers, and they are connected to the Atlantic Ocean to connect the entire European Continent.

Not only that, this place also involves the African continent and the American continent. With the establishment of TWP, the colonial expansion of European and American lords in Africa will only speed up, and conflicts with Daxia are inevitable.

At the same time, with the rise of ocean-going trade in Europe and America, Daxia is no longer the hub of global trade, and merchant ships traveling to and from the European and American continents will soon surpass the Great Sea Route.

The two have the same origin and have a natural bond.

The Atlantic Fleet commanded by Álvaro is constantly surrounded by powerful fleets such as the Dawson Dynasty and the Gondor Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is walking on thin ice.

Even so, Álvaro remained undiminished.

"My Majesty, I believe that the key to solving the Atlantic crisis lies in the Mediterranean Sea. And the key to solving the Mediterranean Sea lies in North Africa." Alvaro judged.

"How to say?"

Ouyang Shuo was very excited, depending on the situation, Alvaro really thought about it.

"England, France, Holland, Germany and other European countries can directly trade with the Dawson Dynasty through the Atlantic Ocean, and the Atlantic Fleet alone cannot stop it no matter what."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, approving Alvaro's judgment.

"Only the Mediterranean coast has room for maneuver, but it is limited by the "Pan-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement". The imperial court occupies the two key areas of the Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Gibraltar, but the fleet cannot advance into the Mediterranean Sea, exerting the influence of the dynasty, so that These lords can join TWP with great confidence."

"The dynasty's provinces of Morocco and Somalia are located on the west and east of North Africa, and neither extends to the Mediterranean Sea, so that the Atlantic Fleet has no excuse to intervene in the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, it will be suggested at the end to target Algeria and Ethiopia in the short term to further expand Map of North Africa."

"The long-term goal can be set to win Libya, Egypt, Sudan and other countries one after another, completely open up North Africa, connect all provinces into one city, and form a joint force."

"This……"

Ouyang Shuo was shocked by the grand blueprint drawn by Alvaro. If Alvaro's strategy was followed, Daxia would take at least five African kingdoms, and the action was not ordinary.

On the other hand, Zhang Liang listened, his eyes lit up, he got up and said: "My lord, I also thought that the strategy of the previous dynasty in the African continent might be conservative. As the European and American lords began to colonize Africa, the imperial court had previously I am afraid that the moderate policy formulated is no longer applicable and needs to be adjusted."

Ouyang Shuo remained silent. He got up suddenly, came to the world map, and stared at the North African continent. Seeing this, Alvaro and others hurriedly got up and surrounded them.

"Algeria, the total number of players, four million!"

"Libya, the total number of players, 600,000!"

"Egypt, the total number of players, nine million!"

"Sudan, the total number of players, four million!"

"Ethiopia, the total number of players, ten million!"

Ouyang Shuo reported the player data of the North African kingdoms one by one like a treasure trove, and then said: "The imperial court has troops stationed in the African continent. Only the Moroccan Corps and the Somali Corps have a total of 200,000 troops."

"Don't talk about taking down five kingdoms, even one Algeria is enough. Of course, the imperial court can increase the number of troops on the African continent, but at present, the internal troubles in the Huaxia region have not been eliminated, and the third front is fighting, so what is the expedition?"

"Moreover, the kingdoms of North Africa have always been in the same line as the Arab Empire, and they are also fat in the eyes of Mediterranean countries. Everyone wants to take a bite. Facing such a complicated situation, how can we talk about destroying the five kingdoms?"

Ouyang Shuo's words poured cold water on everyone present, and they all came to their senses.

"Then, what does His Majesty mean?"

Alvaro asked cautiously. He realized that he might have made trouble in front of the king and thought things too simply, so he was extra careful.

Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo suddenly turned around and smiled slightly, "General, you don't have to blame yourself. The long-term vision you put forward is in line with the dynasty's strategy, and it is also very strategic."

After hearing this, Alvaro calmed down a little.

"It's just that the food has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step."

Ouyang Shuo finally retracted his gaze and returned to his seat. After sitting down, he continued, "If you want to capture the five North African countries, the first thing is to strengthen the imperial court's military presence in the two provinces."

The expansion of the Moroccan Corps and the Somali Corps is already imperative.

Ouyang Shuo planned to expand the two corps into two frontier defense troops six years before Gaia, at the same combat level as the Northern Border Army and the Hanoi Army.

Only in this way can we talk about the war in North Africa.

"To attack the five kingdoms, we need to find the best breakthrough point. Algeria still has an old score to settle with the dynasty, and it is located in the hinterland of the Mediterranean Sea. The total number of players is not too exaggerated, so it is the most suitable attack target." Ouyang Shuo did not completely It hit Alvaro's confidence and gave him a thorough look.

Sure enough, Álvaro regained a gleam in his eyes, got up and bowed, and said solemnly: "The king's intention, the last general has already known, and must cooperate with the Moroccan Corps to prepare for the early war."

"So good!"
