1768 Busy Work in Vain
Everyone was noisy and gradually became quiet.
No one will think...there's anything wrong with this.
You can never just look at the surface in politics. If there really is an afterlife, those who only look at the surface will have died for several reincarnations!
When ministers quarrel, it's not that they really want to defend their views, they are just expressing their attitudes.
Everyone knows that the final decision is made by His Majesty the Emperor. Is there any point in their making noise here?
No, noisy can't convince His Majesty the Emperor, and the royal family of the Pengeo Empire has never been gentle.
The Pengeo Empire also has its own unique system and style, which is completely different from that of Gaevra.
His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while and shook his head, "Our current main force is still on the southern front. Let them pay attention to defense and be careful of sneak attacks by the Federation."
"The Federals must know what they have lost, and they are likely to change their battle plan, so they must be very careful."
"The Imperial Academy of Sciences cannot introduce new changes in air force technology in a short period of time. Although I don't want to admit this, I still have to say, we have to be careful!"
"The Federation is different from all the enemies we have encountered in the past. They are more cunning, richer, and more powerful!"
"If we are ninety-nine percent of the way to conquering the world, then this is the last one percent!"
"This requires not only the strength of me, you, or the warriors who fight for the empire, but the strength of all of us united as a whole!"
"Before this, our most important strategic plan is to completely defeat Gaevra."
"If we don't defeat them, they may become the sharp blade that stabs our hearts in the decisive battle between us and the Federation!"
Everyone bowed their heads to show respect for His Majesty the Emperor and his determination.
In fact, everyone can imagine this to some extent, and shrinking the defense line is the most distinctive feature.
You know, in the past wars, the Pengeo Empire never had the concept of "defense". The fanatical soldiers would tear apart all enemies!
They will kill those enemies, eat their flesh, drink their blood, kill their families, plunder women and wealth!
They will only feel that they are running too slowly and cannot get any good things. They will never feel that they need a shield!
But now, not only do they have a "shield (line of defense)", they also hide in the shield and are unwilling to get out.
It’s not that he doesn’t dare, it’s that he is unwilling. The commander-in-chief of the Nagaril Front believes that counterattacking now will only cause more warriors to die.
It will not be of any help to the upcoming war. On the contrary, if they can hold this corner, they can ensure that the Pengeo Empire's passage to Nagaril is intact.
Once Gefra falls, they can quickly sweep through the entire Nagaril again!
People have set their sights on the southern front.
Pengeo's troops in the southern continent are advancing very fast. On their route, no country is their opponent!
Most countries are still in the primitive stage, like tribes.
The climate conditions of the Southern Continent are very good, hot and humid, and the temperature remains at a moderate level all year round, which makes it full of primitive jungles and plains.
In this land rich in products, people do not need to evolve too many abilities to survive well. This may be one of the reasons why the Southern Continent clearly lags behind other regions in terms of civilizational progress.
People can fill their stomachs casually, so who the hell wants to make scientific inventions?
The few countries with regular armies were unable to withstand the crazy advancement of the Penteo people.
Rather than die, these countries took the initiative to give up the confrontation. Anyway, the Pengeo people would not stay with them for too long.
From the beginning they said "borrow", not "rule".
Judging from the current speed, they will be able to approach the western coastal areas of the Southern Continent in about the second half of this year.
This is actually not slow at all!
Large-scale marches not only calculate speed and distance, but also calculate various other factors.
For things like supplies, poor terrain, detours, etc., being able to reach the west coast in the second half of the year is already very fast.
Thinking that in half a year, they would be able to usher in the dawn of the entire war, the emperor was somewhat relieved.
"Let's do it like this..."
The emperor of the Pengeo Empire was waiting for good news, but for the prime minister of Gefra, this was a complete disaster!
Now some people on the island of Gefra believe that the prime culprit is the Prime Minister!
Without him, maybe Gaevra would still be bathing in the glory of being famous for generations under the rule of the royal family!
Who the hell would have thought that now you can't beat this or that?
The ministers have privately discussed this issue with the Prime Minister, for example, arresting these people and throwing them in jail on any charge.
Although this may be criticized by some, at least it is better than them always demonstrating outside the Imperial Avenue.
The Prime Minister thought about it for a long time and finally rejected the proposal.
Now is the time when Gaevra needs everyone to unite, and if he puts these people in jail just because they oppose him.
Then there is no doubt that he will lose the support of more people!
You know, the vast majority of people demonstrating in these demonstrations are family members of fallen soldiers.
Parents have lost their children, wives have lost their husbands, children have lost their father, and now they are being locked up by the Prime Minister. What will others think?
They will feel that the Prime Minister is a tyrant, and more people will stand up against him then!
On the battlefield, especially the army battlefield, the Gaevra people are just like Shar-Pei dogs. They look very majestic, and they can kick them and run away with their tails between their legs!
But on the main island, they behaved extremely fiercely, so fiercely that even the Prime Minister couldn't do anything against them.
And what the Prime Minister is thinking about now is not this issue, he is thinking about the approach of the Pengeo people.
Bypass the war zone, arrive directly at an area not too far from Gefra, and then launch an attack on the main island!
If the Pengeo fleet had to go from the Eastern Ocean, he was not very worried.
The Eastern Ocean is now a federal reservation, and they have the final say over the waters there.
But the planet is round, and more than one or several people have used their lives to prove this!
They can't go through the Eastern Ocean, but they can go through the Atlantic Ocean!
It might be a little further around, but at least they'll have a place!
As for why not try to launch an ultra-long-distance landing battle directly from the Atlantic Ocean?
If the Pengeos were out of their minds, that's probably what they'd do!
"We're back to square one!"
In the Prime Minister's office, all the important ministers gathered here. The Prime Minister was very helpless and expressed his helplessness that he didn't know how to express.
After struggling for so long, I'm back to where I started.
He suddenly felt very tired and sighed heavily.
He looked at the coffee cup in front of him and at the age spot that appeared on the tiger's mouth. He hadn't paid attention to anything other than work for a long time.
But, after paying so much, everything is back to where it was before!
"They told me that no later than October, Pengeo's army will gather in the area... and they will most likely launch a landing campaign when winter comes."
He said and rubbed his temples, "Now there are only two roads in front of us."
"First, we go to the local area and talk to the people there, and form a line of defense along the coast of the southern continent to prevent them from entering the water."
"Second, intercept them from the sea, no..."
Before His Excellency the Prime Minister finished speaking, someone interrupted him, "I think the second item is very appropriate."
He opened his eyes and looked at the person who spoke, who was the Minister of the Navy.
With Gefra's defeat in Amelia and the large-scale casualties, not only did the Prime Minister's prestige in society decline, but his prestige within the Gefra government also declined sharply.
If he cannot change the current situation in the empire, the ministers will not respect him. The Minister of the Navy interrupting the Prime Minister is an obvious manifestation.
The navy is powerful, and with the launch of Gaevra's sea fortress, he has more confidence.
And he didn't think the first choice was a good candidate. It had been proven in Amelia that Gaevra's army had no need or value at all.
If these people are sent back to die, Gefra's society will only become more turbulent!
The best way is to dispatch a fleet to block the sea and prevent the Pengeo fleet from landing across the sea.
Others seemed to have the same view and nodded.
The Prime Minister looked at the Admiralty and hesitated for a moment, "Are you confident that you can do this?"
"Or can we still be the rulers of the sea like we were in the past?"
Just as the Admiralty was about to answer yes, he suddenly thought of the naval battle between them and the Federation and the setback they encountered in the Oxhorn Strait!
If the emergence of submarines broke the invincible backbone of the Gevra Navy, then the emergence of aircraft and the integration of land-based air forces into sea-based air forces completely ended the rule of the Gevra fleet over the sea!
They've been through it.
Once the Penteo people's air-dropped torpedoes cannot be intercepted, the damage caused to their warships will be devastating!
The Navy Minister frowned and considered for a long time before slowly nodding, "I think we still have a good chance."
"Our planes taking off from the main island can completely cover part of the sea. As long as their planes are not allowed to get close to our fleet, we can sink them all!"
As he spoke, he clenched his fists and emphasized his tone, as if he was persuading the Prime Minister, and also as if he was persuading himself, "I am confident!"
The Prime Minister nodded slowly. He had no choice but to choose one that looked relatively good among the many not-so-good choices.
He sighed again. He wondered if Mr. Trueman was like him who sighed from time to time.
Probably not. The current federation is so good that it makes people jealous!
