Chapter 1160
Shanhai City, Summer Palace.
The atmosphere in the imperial study room was very dull. When the video of Álvaro's generous deeds was transmitted through the communication compass in real time, Ouyang Shuo's eyes were red and his fists were clenched.
"This revenge must be reported!" Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth.
Ouyang Shuo had already forgotten how long it had been since Daxia suffered such a big loss. This was undoubtedly a serious setback for Ouyang Shuo who had just implemented a series of new policies and was preparing to lead Daxia to a new height.
"The enemy won the Atlantic Fleet, and the next step is probably to attack the Morocco province. How to win this battle, all you gentlemen, please share your views!" Ouyang Shuo said in a low voice.
Great Xia has never had a territory occupied before, so Ouyang Shuo naturally didn't want to make an exception.
Generals such as Bai Qi and Han Xin have long been filled with righteous indignation, and they all said that they should mobilize heavy troops to fight the enemy in the province of Morocco. Han Xin even suggested that he could take the initiative to declare war on the enemy.
Zhang Liang, on the other hand, didn't say a word the whole time, and seemed to have other ideas.
Just as the generals were discussing how to win the Morocco War, pieces of information were submitted urgently, making the lively imperial study room depressive again.
March 4th.
As soon as the Silver Hand United Fleet wiped out the Atlantic Fleet, Algeria formally declared war on Great Xia under the banner of restoring the Moroccan royal family, intending to take back Morocco.
Algeria is not the only country that actually participated in the war.
According to the information obtained by the Black Snake Guards, more than half of the territory in the Mediterranean Sea is dispatching troops, and those that are closer, like Spain, have already arrived in Algiers, the royal city of Algeria.
According to preliminary estimates, the total strength of the coalition forces is no less than one million.
"Okay, we haven't prepared to fight Algeria yet, but it jumped out on its own initiative." Although Ouyang Shuo had a smile on his face, anyone could feel his anger.
And that's not all.
Almost at the same time, the enemies around Daxia started to move.
The Zhou Dynasty, the Johor Kingdom, the Pyu Kingdom, the Java Kingdom, and the Romanov Dynasty sharpened their swords one by one and began to transfer troops to the border to gather.
Even the Maurya Dynasty has shown interest in Maldives County.
Only the African countries around the province of Somalia, because they are not the traditional sphere of influence of the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, and the Mediterranean lords mainly focus on attacking the province of Morocco, are temporarily spared.
The Silver Hand obviously learned the lesson of the [Yanhuang League]'s failure.
Looking back on the past five years, the biggest failure of [Yanhuang League]'s suppression of Daxia is that [Yanhuang League] is too conservative and always likes to use peripheral forces as pawns to deal with Daxia.
As a result, every time Daxia came back, his strength increased instead of diminished.
Up to now, [Yanhuang League] has been suppressed by Daxia instead, and has become a sad negative teaching material.
This time, whether it was a naval battle or a battle in Morocco, the Silver Hand used all its strength as soon as it came up, and the members went into battle in person, launching a close-to-close combat with Daxia, without leaving any leeway.
"Once an existence like Daxia is relieved, there will be endless troubles." No. 1 said.
In just a few days, Daxia fell into a situation of being besieged on all sides.
When the situation developed to this point, Ouyang Shuo calmed down, because there would be no worse situation than this, and what he had to do now was how to break this deadlock.
"Walk!"
Ouyang Shuo stood up and led the generals to the map.
"The Romanov dynasty is nothing to worry about." Ouyang Shuo pointed to the north of the map, "The Siberia area bordering the Liao and Jin provinces is a real wilderness. It's still winter, Romanov It is wishful thinking for the Husband Dynasty to send troops to the Liao and Jin provinces from here."
The center of the Romanov Dynasty is still in continental Europe.
Then, Ouyang Shuo looked south, pointed to Southeast Asia and said, "Without the help of the navy, the threat that Java can pose to us is very limited. The key is Pyu and Johor, a neighboring province of Siam and Hanoi. A direct threat to Xingzhou County where the Southern Border Protectorate is located."
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth at the azure badge.
If they hadn't changed their minds temporarily, Da Xia had already taken the two countries into his pocket, so why would he be in such a predicament today.
Ouyang Shuo wrote down this account.
"Then what about the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Bai Qi asked.
Dazhou is bordering Daxia in an all-round way, with sufficient troops, fighting locally, and having enough reasons to start the war. Therefore, in Bai Qi's view, Dazhou is really the biggest threat to Daxia this time. I don't know why the king didn't mention it. .
With the power of the organization, Da Zhou will definitely not miss such a good opportunity to make a comeback in one fell swoop.
It even goes so far as to say that the Great Zhou Dynasty may bet all their bets on this battle and achieve a counterattack at the most unlikely time. Dichen had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty participated in the war, it would at least be able to contain the four armies of the Great Xia, which would be very deadly.
Ouyang Shuo smiled, and took out a card. It was the [War Immunity Card] that was drawn when he was promoted to the king. It has been kept until now, and it finally came in handy.
[War immunity card]: During the period of the territory's foreign war, there is a chance of war immunity to avoid the invasion of the surrounding territories, which lasts for one month. Friendly reminder: War immunity is only valid for the country, and it takes effect immediately.
When Bai Qi and others saw it, their eyes lit up, and they said with a smile: "With such a hole card, you can really arrange it well." Imagine that the Great Zhou Xingshi mobilized the crowd to come, but was blocked by a card in the end. .
Han Dao: "So, the conditions for the Morocco War are still valid?"
Ouyang Shuo was about to nod his head, his personality was also very strong, there was no reason to say that even the Silver Hand hit the door, Da Xia still flinched and didn't know how to fight back.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to fight hard with the Silver Hand.
Maybe they can conquer Algeria in one fell swoop, and let the Silver Hand steal the chicken without losing money.
At this moment, Zhang Liang suddenly said: "Your Majesty!"
"What's the best strategy for Zifang?" Ouyang Shuo asked with a smile.
Zhang Liang's expression was not relaxed, and he said solemnly: "My minister begs the king to voluntarily give up the Morocco province."
The smile on Ouyang Shuo's face suddenly disappeared, "What did you say?" Everyone could feel the anger accumulated in Ouyang Shuo's body, making Bai Qi and other generals tremble.
Seeing this, Shi Wansui stood up and said: "Why does Mr. Ge build up other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige?!"
Zhang Liang was unmoved.
Ouyang Shuo stretched out his hand suddenly, stopped Shi Wansui's impolite questioning, took a deep look at Zhang Liang, and said, "Since Zifang said that, there must be some scruples, why not explain it in detail."
Bai Qi and the others also looked at Zhang Liang curiously.
Zhang Liang nodded silently, his palms were actually slightly sweaty.
How many kings of all ages can listen to those with different opinions at critical moments? !
The king was at a high-spirited time, and when he was suddenly provoked, he would instinctively choose to fight back to the end. At this juncture, it was really a risky move for him to propose to voluntarily abandon the battle.
But as the chief think tank of the dynasty, Zhang Liang had to mention it, because this was his duty, even if he might die for it, he would not hesitate to do so.
"Judging from the destruction of the Atlantic Fleet and the intelligence analysis just obtained, the Silver Hand and the previous [Yanhuang League] are two completely different opponents. If we choose to fight the enemy in the Morocco province, what do you think? Will the enemy retreat in spite of difficulties?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Won't!"
"Since that's the case, the battle of Morocco will be a super war with millions of troops from both sides. Can the grain and grass reserves of Morocco province support such a big battle?" Zhang Liang asked again.
Morocco is isolated overseas, and it is not rich in food itself. It can barely be self-sufficient at ordinary times, and naturally it cannot support the consumption of a million troops.
"..."
The Imperial Study Room fell into an awkward silence.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang continued, "As long as we find a way, are willing to spend money, and are willing to pay the price, the problem of food and grass is not impossible to solve. The question is, can the dynasty afford the price?"
"Or, is it worth it?"
Ouyang Shuo remained expressionless, "To defend the integrity of the territory, any price is worth it."
"Your Majesty is right." Zhang Liang did not refute, "It's just that the Moroccan battlefield will be a quagmire, dragging the dynasty into the swamp step by step until it collapses."
"The Silver Hand has many members, they can afford it, but the dynasty can't afford it." Zhang Liang concluded.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to refute, but couldn't say anything.
That's right, only half of the lords in the Mediterranean attacked this time. The Dawson Dynasty and the Gangduo Dynasty didn't even make a move, and they forced Daxia to the edge of the cliff.
After all, Daxia still doesn't have the conditions and background to be a super giant like this.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo clenched his fists and felt aggrieved.
"Once we consume a lot of vitality on the Moroccan battlefield, the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Java State, the Johor State, the Pyu State, the Maurya Dynasty, and even the eight major dynasties in the territory will all be ready to move."
Zhang Liang's words are by no means alarmist.
Daxia has not yet established absolute authority in the Huaxia region, and it is not just the rebellious Mongolia and the Western Turkic Khanate who want to challenge the orthodox status of Daxia.
Don't other superficially obedient ones know their hidden ambitions? !
A wounded male lion cannot lead a lion pride, it will only be attacked by challengers.
Thinking of such a scene, even Ouyang Shuo shuddered, "The Silver Hand's calculations are too deep, directly grasping Da Xia's life gate, the timing is very accurate."
"So, apart from giving up the province of Morocco, can we do nothing?"
Ouyang Shuo's eyes were full of unwillingness, extremely aggrieved.
Zhang Liang shook his head, "That's not the case. Your Majesty also analyzed it just now, and we also hold the cards in our hands. On the premise of voluntarily giving up the Morocco province, there is actually a lot to do."
"It's not even impossible to achieve a comeback." Zhang Liang is full of confidence.
Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo's spirit was shaken, he finally felt better, and said, "I would like to hear more about it!" Looking at Zhang Liang, there was admiration and anticipation in his eyes.
It is really a great fortune to have such a Dinghaishenzhen like Zhang Liang.
