Helian, this battle is indeed difficult to fight. I haven't seen the Luzon people put up a clear posture yet, put on a show, and always talk without practicing. There is a limit to the show. This Philip What else would Te Lie pay attention to? "Hu Yanqiu rested his elbows on the table, gently twirling the brown sideburns under his chin with his hands, and moved his thoughtful eyes from east to west, as if trying to find out some doubts.
He Lianbo has always been confused about this issue, but the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau has already reported Wu Feng in the imperial capital, and the order from His Royal Highness the King of Thailand has also arrived to ensure the safety of Northern Luzon and not fall into the hands of the enemy, and It is necessary to ensure the stability of Northern Luzon at the expense of giving up the East Tengger Grassland. It seems that His Highness the King of Qin attaches great importance to this bridge connecting the Indian region, and Helianbo also made Helianbo feel that this heavy responsibility was placed on his shoulders. It does feel a bit heavy.
"It is necessary to fight even if it is not easy. His Highness has given clear instructions to ensure that the three cities of Volcano, Shuangdui and Vito are in our hands. We must not let the plans of the Luzon and the Komini people succeed. We also have to discuss it carefully. Let’s see how we fight this battle.”
Helianbo sighed and ordered people to bring detailed maps of each government while continuing to complain: "Two hundred thousand versus five hundred thousand. It seems that His Highness regards us as an iron army. The combat effectiveness of the Luzon army may not be said to be outstanding, but Frederick did have some abilities. Even his brother Julius and cousin Kluf were convinced by him and were willing to give up military command to him. Julius we I won’t go into details. Kruf is a well-known man in the Andes region who is both wise and brave. This level of trust alone is enough to prove that Frederick is extraordinary. Against such a guy, you have to be careful at all times, and every move he makes You have to think about what his intentions are. In this way, all our energy is trapped by him, and we are passive and beaten at every step. But now we have no power to act according to our own wishes, knowing that the other party is like this I intentionally mobilize your attention, but you have to follow the opponent's steps. Hu Yan, have you ever fought such a battle?"
"Helian, you kid, don't be too dissatisfied. If every battle goes smoothly, what do you and I need to do? Let me tell you. Like Lao Mu and the others, they stay in the Peninsula Alliance and have nothing to do now. Is this kind of life comfortable? I don’t see it. Soldiers are born to fight, and they have to fight tough battles, bitter battles, and bloody battles. Only then can they be called soldiers. Those who stay in the Military Affairs Office and the General Staff all day long. Write and draw, design several plans, and arrange Some personnel adjustments are also called military affairs. I can't bear this kind of life even if I am asked to enjoy it. I would rather die on the battlefield than die in a **! I remember the old saying, die of old age. A general who is dying may be a blessing to the entire society because it represents peace. But for a soldier, it is a shame that cannot be washed away!" Hu Yanqiu's voice gradually became louder at the end. Obviously a little excited. Fighting a large number with a small number is a challenge in itself, not to mention that the enemy also has a talented and talented general in command. This kind of battle is interesting. "Helian, why don't I let my Indian regiment guard the double pile and the volcano?" Mansion, but I have to keep the reserve division, and you can guard Vito, how about that?"
After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu was agitated, and He Lianbo immediately became a little annoyed, "Hu Yan, what are you talking about? Are you despising my second army? You are a disabled army, and you are a guest from afar, but you have to guard three More than two-thirds of the area, you clearly want my Second Army to be unable to hold its head high in the Western Xinjiang Army for the rest of its life, right?"
"Hey, who told you to keep complaining and complaining?! If you don't accept it, then take your anger out on the Luzon and Comini people. I would like to compete with you to see which one of your second legions is better. Even better, my Indian Army kills more enemies!" Hu Yanqiu also laughed in a ghostly manner, which made He Lianbo feel uneasy. The anger was also held in his stomach, and he wanted to make the other party Let's take a look. When this battle is over, let's talk about who is the hero in this world!
Starting from Shuangdui Mansion, more than 200 miles away along the southeastern highway is Manlong City, which is now the northern important town of the Grand Duchy of Luzon. Originally, this was just a small city in central Luzon, and its location could not be said to be very important. However, since the loss of Northern Luzon, it has become the first gateway for people from Luzon to connect with Northern Luzon. The northwest distance is Shuangdui, Northern Luzon. Two hundred and sixty miles away from the Mansion, due north is what they call the Volcano Mansion of Northern Luzon County built by the Tanghe people. A small place that was originally just a transit village has actually become the central hub of Northern Luzon, closely connected with Manlong's The straight-line distance is only one hundred and seventy miles, and to the northeast is Vito, the only city in Northern Luzon when it still belonged to the Grand Duchy of Luzon. It is still the largest city in Northern Luzon.
Although the clouds of war shrouded all parts of Northern Luzon to a greater or lesser extent, the businessmen's sense of smell was the most sensitive. When they heard that the Luzon army was fully mobilizing for war, the businessmen had some premonitions, and Correspondingly, the Komini people also carried out full-scale military mobilization. What does this mean? The Pasha people in the south are still entangled with the people of the Southern Alliance, and the natural chasms of the southern rivers have a history of being breached by the Pasha and Luzon people. Both sides have consciously strengthened river defenses to avoid similar phenomena. It’s not clear who the target of such a large-scale military mobilization meeting is, not to mention that the Luzon military seems to have determined that the ruler of Northern Luzon, Li Wufeng, is now unable to go west and can make various preparations in an orderly manner, and can even have time with his allies. The coordination with the fighter planes is really easy, at least judging from the current performance.
However, as long as the war does not start, businessmen will still try their best to follow their own business track. Even if the war starts, many businesses cannot be abolished. At most, the risks will be greater and the procedures will be more troublesome, but the profits will be less. will increase accordingly, which will not affect the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of businessmen.
It has been more than a day since Kruve accompanied his cousin to Manlong City to inspect military affairs. He is increasingly confused about his cousin. The troops are so fast that the large-scale military mobilization in the country has basically ended. , everything was ready, just waiting for him to give the order to move to the warehouse, but he repeatedly asked to intensify the inspection to ensure that there would be problems to the greatest extent. Time has passed day by day, and until now, everyone has gathered in Manchu The number of troops in Longcheng is less than 80,000, and the increase is extremely slow. Today, a team of 10,000 people was mobilized, but they are all reserve troops. Such an army may be barely able to defend, but if they want to launch an attack on the strong city in Western Xinjiang, There seemed to be some difficulty in attacking, which puzzled Kruff.
The military mobilization on the Komini side was gradually coming to an end, but his cousin still seemed to have no expression. At first, Kloof thought that his cousin did not believe in the efficiency of the Komini people and wanted to wait until the Komini people arrived. After the people were mobilized, but it doesn't look like it now, Kruff's heart moved. Could it be that his cousin is really waiting for another looming ally, the Luobei people
Looking at the people coming and going from inside and outside Manlon City, there was always a pensive expression on Frederick's handsome and charming cheeks, as if he was examining the ins and outs of everything in front of him.
"Kruf, you said that in my mind, Manlong City seemed to be an ordinary city. Even after the loss of Northern Luzon, Manlong's strategic location became more important. But look at the scene in front of you. , compared to the previous two years, the prosperity here has more than tripled? Can you tell me the reason for this?"
It seemed that he did not expect that his cousin would still have the time to ask these questions that had nothing to do with the war. After thinking for a while, Kruff reluctantly answered: "There must be a special reason for this. The loss of Lai Northern Luzon actually pushed Manlong City to the position of a frontier city, and its location was moderate, just radiating to the three cities established by the Tanghe people in Northern Luzon in the north, especially the so-called Northern Luzon. After the Songjun Volcano Mansion was established, it was less than two hundred miles away from Manlong. Well, the people of Tanghe spared no effort to complete the road from Vito to Manlong and then spent huge sums of money to build the Northwest Luzon Center. They even expressed their willingness to build the road from Shuangdui City to Manlong in our territory, but we did not agree. As a result, the road conditions in our territory will be slightly worse. Now they are starting to build the road from Huoshan to Manlong. Due to the opening of these roads, our traditional trade routes to the west through Comini and into the Western Continent have also begun to diverge, and the required channels have also undergone some changes, especially in the Central and North Luzon region. It should be said that this aspect has a considerable impact. Food , coffee, tobacco, cane sugar, and wood have become bulk materials exported to the north, and even some odds and ends, such as tree seeds and fruits from some trees, are also imported in large quantities by Tanghe people."
"Oh?" Kruff's last words caught Frederick's attention, "Sap and fruit? Are there any special circumstances?"
"I have also sent an intelligence team to conduct reconnaissance, but no results have been obtained. However, the sap of the gum tree should be related to the rubber developed by the Tanghe people. However, this kind of research with very precise and complicated procedures is not what we are good at. , we only have suspicions and cannot verify it ourselves. As for that fruit, it seems to be called cinchona fruit, which is said to be medicinal. The other is the poppy fruit, which the Tanghe people call afurong fruit, but all of these poppy fruit seem to be through The smuggling channel was carried out without approval from there." Frederick was quite surprised by Kruve's familiarity with this situation.
