Chapter 1232 Qu Mao's Concerns
At noon on October 17, the seventh year of the Chosen Year, Qu Mao and Su Yan, who had been crazy all night and half a day since the previous night, had lunch together in the restaurant on the first floor of the Lord's Lodge. Afterwards, Su Yan suggested that Qu Mao go back to the room to fight again, but was severely criticized by Qu Mao.
Afterwards, the two of them went to the small conference room on the third floor of the Lord's Lodge together, preparing to discuss in advance the matter that Yigong Territory was about to launch a lightning war against the Kingdom of Dali before the formal military meeting tomorrow.
After Qu Mao entered the conference room, he immediately took out the East Continent Power Distribution Map from his backpack and hung it on the wall, and then began to pace around the East Continent Power Distribution Map hanging on the wall.
Su Yan was originally sitting behind the conference table. Seeing Qu Mao pacing around the East Continent Power Distribution Map, she also stood up, walked to the East Continent Power Distribution Map, and looked at it carefully.
After just a few glances, Su Yan said, "Sir, Xinping's work is not done well. Your map of the power distribution of the East Continent is still the old version, and the latest situation is not reflected..."
Qu Mao took out a pen and hurriedly drew a few strokes on the map of the power distribution of the East Continent, and said, "Are you talking about these places?
I started early in the morning of April 25, the seventh year of Tianxuan, and went to the Fulu Principality of the Western Continent. After returning on July 10, I continued to inspect the work in the Holy Land. I finally calmed down a little. On August 4, I went to inspect the work of various independent territories on the main continent west of the East Continent Bay. I didn't come back until yesterday.
Xinping hasn't communicated with me properly during this period. It is normal that the power distribution map of the East Continent has not been updated. It's nothing more than Zhen Fu and Hua Tielan updating the ten inverted U-shaped areas of the main continent west of the East Continent Bay by the end of June. Several indigenous forces surrendered and were incorporated into the independent territory sequence of our Yigong territory.
I just know this matter, it does not affect what we are going to discuss today. "
Su Yan came close to Qu Mao, put her head on one of Qu Mao's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Sir, the distribution of forces in the East Continent is naturally not just the inverted U-shaped area you mentioned.
On the battlefield of the eastern peninsula of the East Continent Bay, although the situation was stalemate, our territory was also expanded. The newly built 10 town groups were not marked, and the territories of the seven God-chosen player lord forces such as the Dashui Principality that we seized were not marked..."
Qu Mao patted Su Yan's shoulder and said: "It's been ridiculous for so long. If your legs are sore, just sit there. What are you doing standing here?
On the battlefield of the eastern peninsula of the East Continent Bay, although we completely eliminated the seven God-chosen player lord forces, We have also seized all their territories, but there are usually rebel forces there, the residents are not loyal and still hate our army, and there are even guerrillas against the Yizhen Alliance, so it cannot be considered as our completely independent territory. "
Su Yan smiled happily and said, "My lord, I am happy!
The situation you mentioned does exist on the peninsula, but there are still some differences between the Chosen Player Lord forces that have been completely eliminated by us. For example, in the Principality of Dashui, after all the royal family members were captured, although the residents of the Principality of Dashui still hated our army and rioted constantly, the determination of resistance was far less than that of other territories of the Chosen Player Lord forces whose royal family had not been captured but whose territories had been completely lost.
On the peninsula, in any territory where royal family members and Chosen Players were captured by us, although residents and rebel forces still exist, Completely different from other territories occupied by us on the peninsula, the resistance in these territories is not so fierce, and the organization and coordination of the mobs are also poor.
Lord Liu Qianhui once wrote a private letter to his subordinates, saying that the effect of our establishment of town clusters on the peninsula is very obvious. If we continue to migrate nearly one million people to build three or five town clusters, the territories of Dashui Principality and other territories where we have captured the Chosen Players and royal family members should become our qualified independent territories within a year.
In addition, there are several other Chosen Players on the peninsula whose territories are not so complete. The troops arranged by Yigong Territory on the battlefield of the peninsula still have certain combat results, especially in the past nine months of the seventh year of the Chosen. Although the momentum of the battle is not as great as in the second half of the sixth year of the Chosen, the actual combat results are far better than last year.
Since the construction of 10 town clusters on the peninsula at the beginning of the year, our acceptance of the peninsula's territory has also been very efficient, unlike last year when rebellions, guerrillas and riots emerged one after another. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Su Yan, we two don't need to worry about this map of the distribution of forces in the East Continent. Xinping will attend the military meeting tomorrow, and he will definitely update the map of the distribution of forces in the East Continent for me.
What I am worried about now is that one-quarter of the border of the Kingdom of Dali is the coastline, which is right opposite the end of the Central Continent; one-fifth of the border borders the Principality of Pengda; and one-sixth of the border borders the Mughal Empire; the remaining nearly two-thirds of the border borders the various independent territories of our Yigong territory.
If everything goes well, we can launch six marching routes from various independent territories and launch an attack on the Kingdom of Dali at the same time, not to mention the naval attack on the coastline of the Kingdom of Dali. Even if the Kingdom of Dali has a more intense resistance, without external interference, I believe that with the six armies and the involvement of the coastline, we can quickly eliminate the resistance of the Kingdom of Dali.
However, no matter how nervous the aboriginal forces in the northwest region of their country are in the Pengda Principality, they will definitely not sit back and watch us destroy the Dali Kingdom. After all, after conquering the Dali Kingdom, we will directly border the Pengda Principality.
Then there is the Mughal Empire. When we attacked the Monair Kingdom, the Mughal Empire already had a larger reaction. When we subsequently attacked the Mofei Kingdom, the Mughal Empire also reacted fiercely. The main reason is that after these two princely states are defeated, the independent territory of our Yigong territory will directly border the Mughal Empire.
On the battlefield on the eastern peninsula of the East Continent Bay, when we captured the aboriginal forces in the middle, the reason why the Mughal Empire did not respond was mainly because we fought very fast there, and we only fought in less than half a week. Within a short period of time, all other indigenous forces surrendered unconditionally.
If the Principality of Pengda and the Mughal Empire each react to our attack on the Kingdom of Dali, I don’t think the problem is too big. Our army will definitely be able to deal with it. Fighting separately will not have a particularly big impact on us. At most, it is necessary. We are just extending the time to conquer the Kingdom of Dali a little longer..."
Su Yan's eyes have been following Qu Mao's fingers on the distribution map of the Eastern Continent. When she heard Qu Mao stop, she said: "Sir, the navy in our Yigong territory is very powerful. Just use To contain and harass the coastline of the Dali Kingdom, it seems to be overkill. After all, a quarter of the border of the Dali Kingdom is the coastline. If we follow the coastline, we will let the navy set up four more attack routes, and ten armies will encircle the Dali Kingdom. The progress of our strategy is bound to be faster.
Even if the navy does not invest actual troops and is just feigning an attack, my subordinates believe that dispatching the four-pronged navy to assume an offensive posture will, more or less, involve at least 10% of the land force of the Dali Kingdom, and also reduce a lot of combat for our six-pronged army attacking by land. pressure……"
Qu Mao smiled and said: "Su Yan, it's not a problem of insufficient troops.
Even if the navy only bombards the coastline of the Kingdom of Dali, it can still contain at least 10% of the army of the Kingdom of Dali. There is no doubt about this.
If, as you said, the navy concentrates its artillery fire and sets out four attack routes for landing operations, it can involve at least 20% of the forces of the Kingdom of Dali.
If the navy really invests its troops in landing operations, it can definitely shorten the time it takes for us to conquer the Dali Kingdom by about one-third. I have no doubt about this. However, the navy’s investment in the peninsula battlefield will inevitably decrease. If we attack the Dali Kingdom This is based on the premise that it will not significantly affect the battlefield on the peninsula.
What I am worried about is the reaction of the Pengda Principality and the Mughal Empire. I don't care about their individual reactions. I am afraid that if they unite together, they will inevitably put great pressure on our Yigong territory.
Because once they unite, the battlefield will not be limited to the Dali Kingdom, and they may even face a full-scale war. "
Su Yan nodded and said, "Indeed, in mid-July, Lord Fur Swanpe had already brought all the newly modified warships with breech-loading artillery to reinforce Sylvia Ocean on the peninsula battlefield.
Although another three months have passed, according to the current full production capacity of the shipyard, I am afraid that at most 150 super warships have been modified. To launch a landing operation against the Kingdom of Dali, even if it is just a feint attack, I am afraid that at least 500 ships must be invested. warship.
Sir, your concerns are indeed justified, but I believe that the probability of the Pengda Principality and the Mughal Empire joining forces to intervene is very low. First of all, the Pengda Principality and the Mughal Empire themselves are also enemies, sir.
The probability of a full-scale war is not high. What we are worried about is that after the intervention of the Pengda Principality and the Mughal Empire, they will cut off the territory that should belong to our Yigong territory from the Dali Kingdom.
However, as long as we attack Yigong territory quickly enough, even if the three forces of Dali Kingdom, Pengda Principality and Mughal Empire join forces, I am afraid that Dali Kingdom will eventually all be our territory. After all, they will not react before , we have captured all the territory and at most have re-entered the confrontation situation.
Taking a step back, even if we cannot get a complete Dali Kingdom, it will not be a big loss to us. At least the royal family of Dali Kingdom has been eliminated by us..."
Qu Mao thought for a while and said: "Su Yan, your words are not enough to completely dispel my worries. Let's discuss this issue in depth when we all hold a military meeting tomorrow."
