I don't know why Tian Fang has such a good impression of this guy Cheng Dayou. Wu Feng is a little confused. Didn't he see that this guy Cheng Dayou is even more dangerous than Cui Wenxiu? Wu Feng once tentatively discussed with Ling Tianfang some of the capable generals under his command. He heard that Ling Tianfang seemed to admire Cheng Dayou. This was indeed somewhat beyond Wu Feng's expectation. It seems that although Cheng Dayou performed well in the East China Sea landing battle, just one battle was not enough to prove his strength. Cheng Dayou's boldness and madness in the subsequent battle for Okhotsk was indeed quite thrilling. It also proved his ability, but Wu Feng consulted Ling Tianfang for his opinion. Wu Feng had to admit that Ling Tianfang's understanding of Cheng Dayou was more accurate than his own.
However, being bold and courageous and fond of making dangerous moves cannot prove a general's strategic quality to take charge of the overall situation. It can only prove that this person has extraordinary tactical ability. Let such a general serve as the commander-in-chief of the entire Central Continent Front Army. Feng doesn't think this is a good idea, at least not yet.
As Ling Tianfang, Bo Jinchen, Su Qin, Lao, Gu Quan, Linghu Yi and others arrived one after another, Wu Feng also closed the book "Westward Journey" that he was reading. This is the work of Ji Zhixia, a famous geographer and traveler in the empire. The work introduces in detail in prose form how he set out from Zhongzhou, the capital of the Tanghe Empire at that time, passed through the Maci Khanate and the Nanyang Alliance in the south, and traveled overland from the peninsula. Passed through the key passes of the Eastern Continent and the Central Continent, and traveled across the sea to Sikkim Island. From Sikkim Island, we took a boat and stopped at Castle, the largest port in the Kingdom of West Orland, to Kerry Port, the capital of the Kingdom of Jutland. From Kerry Landing, we headed north along the way. The Principality of Melly crossed the Baltic Sea and entered the Augsburg Empire, and then traveled around the Western Continent and returned to the Eastern Continent from the northern Indian route. The author's writing style is very free and easy, and he vividly outlines the customs of various places in the Central and Western Continents, which is quite interesting. It's just that this book was not widely published in the empire. Wufeng also spent a lot of effort to get this first edition thread-bound copy.
Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen both noticed the "Journey to the West" in Wu Feng's hand, which made the two senior officials of the Privy Council a little moved. They exchanged glances with each other. Both of them seemed to realize that today's summons might be dangerous. It is not about discussing plans for the future work of the Privy Council, but about actually discussing the specific war. His Highness has not yet ascended the throne and is now busy starting the war. This cannot but surprise both Lingbo and Bo. Especially when Rao, Gu Quan and Linghu Yi arrived one after another, this confirmed Ling Bo's suspicion.
I saw doubtful looks in the eyes of several people. Wu Feng patted the thick thread-bound book in his hand and said with a proud smile: "Everyone, this book is worth reading. I suggest you all take a look. At least it can give us a rough understanding of the customs and customs of the Central and Western Continent. Understand, especially the southern part of the central and western continent. Ji Zhixia's writing style is very good, and his geographical research is very strict. There are also many pictures attached to it, although they are rough and not detailed. But for us non-professional readers, That's enough. At least I can let you know where the Principality of Merry is, where the largest port city in the Kingdom of Jutland is, and let us know who holds the golden key between the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea. The empire is about to be established, the empire There are great strategic interests in the central land of the Central Continent, and our navy in the south will also play their role. Let the golden roc flag of the empire fly everywhere including the Latin Ocean, the Sea of Babylon and even the Ocean of Storms. This is our empire’s National policy, you are not an outsider here, so I don’t want to avoid anything. But if we want to expand our rights and interests, we must do something, especially in the Central Continent, please don’t ignore this."
Everyone was silent for a while. His Highness the King of Qin's generally meaningless words made everyone except Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen a little confused. He had specially recruited a group of people to talk about national policy interests and so on. To put it politely, this posture should be to confirm some specific matters, especially since the heads of the two major intelligence agencies are present, and even the number one person in the Department of War Readiness. If it is not a specific war, it seems that there is no need to do this. .
"Okay, don't be so foggy. I'm calling you all here today. The matter is very simple. We will discuss the situation in the mainland, especially in the Indian region. I'm afraid everyone here should know what is happening there now. The Holy Spirit Cult, backed by the Hansen Alliance, has achieved a complete victory in the Yakuan region. Now the forces that believe in Niyeism in the middle and lower classes have officially made a request to us, asking us to help them regain Niyeism in Yakuan. The region has obtained the rights it deserves. Over in the Western Region, we have sent people to connect with the forces in the Yakuan region. Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit Church does not seem to want to give us a chance, and the top leaders of the Yakuan people do not seem to want to give us either. opportunity, so the situation is a bit bad, and our army is not ready to go to war with the Hansen Alliance. Now I clearly tell you that we must take action, and immediately! Otherwise we will lose what we have gained and should Everything gained.”
Wu Feng didn't even raise his eyelids, he just narrated all this in an extremely calm tone. Such a calm tone made everyone hear the incomparable firmness and determination behind the words.
After taking a breath, Wu Feng raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, and said in cold words: "Linghu Yi, please add some information on the situation in the Indian region."
"His Royal Highness King Qin has just made it clear that the Holy Spirit Cult has won the support of the upper and middle class people of the Yacuan people and some of their vassal tribes. They have converted to the Holy Spirit Cult. The Niyeh Cult has been in conflict with the Yacuan people for a long time. The discord has paid a heavy price. The only advantage of the Niyeh Sect now is that they still have a considerable base among the middle and lower classes. However, according to our analysis, if the situation continues like this, I am afraid that the middle and lower classes will gradually lose their people and eventually collapse. In the embrace of the Holy Spirit Cult, it is difficult for the Niye Cult without the backing of a strong material foundation to compete with the Holy Spirit Cult, which has the support of the middle and upper classes. Moreover, the latest intelligence shows that the Hansen Alliance’s army has entered the Yacuan people’s territory. In the two western provinces, the Yakuans are also negotiating with the Hansen Alliance to sign a comprehensive political, military and economic cooperation agreement. This obviously has the intention of targeting us, and the Holy Spirit Church has begun to extend its hands to the northwest of the kingdom. The Mish tribe’s base area is the main reason why we cannot sit idly by and intervene as soon as possible.”
When Wufeng was talking about his intentions, Linghuyi was recalling the situation in India. Fortunately, he could remember these general contents very clearly, so this was not a problem for him. When Wu Feng asked him to add something, he just talked about it, and some information clues were readily available.
"In addition, there are some disturbing situations in the Tik-controlled areas in southern India. The Luzon people are massively increasing their troops to the northern area of Komini. This is a precursor to a possible invasion of the Tik-controlled areas. From this The threat from this direction may even exceed the threat from the Holy Spirit Church, which requires our special attention."
"Since this phenomenon has been occurring for some time, what actions has our military taken to deal with it?" The question was raised by Su Qin. Xiao Tang needed to attend an important meeting, so only Su Qin from the Government Affairs Council attended. Military meeting.
"Currently, there is actually only the Seventh Army stationed in the mid-continent. Now the Seventh Army has been stationed in the Panchabu area. Pauling, the chief representative of the Empire in the Indian Kingdom, is also conducting emergency consultations with the Tik people. At present, it has been obtained We have made some progress. The Tik people have agreed to the troops of two divisions stationed in their Lahore and Taijia provinces. However, the Tik people still have not agreed to our entry into their central hinterland. Pauling is still negotiating with them. , hoping to achieve a breakthrough. In view of the sharp deterioration of the situation in the Indian region and the serious shortage of the empire's military strength in the mid-continent, His Highness has already ordered three divisions of the Jerok Army and two ranger regiments to rush to the mid-continent. The other three divisions are also getting ready, and the Fifth Army is actively preparing to take over the defense of the Jerok Army."
Bo Jinchen, who is the secret envoy to the right of the Imperial Privy Council, took the initiative to explain that since the officials of the Government Affairs Council attended the meeting, it meant that the military operation was about to turn from dark to bright and enter the normal track, so there was no need for Bo Jinchen to hide and hide. .
"Can a Jerok Army solve the current difficulties faced by the Indian region? Will there be collusion between Luzon and the Hansen Alliance? If they launch an offensive at the same time, can our current military strength in the Indian region be supported? Can you live there?" Su Qin did not shut up because of Bo Jinchen's explanation, but instead asked further.
"Su Qin, this is the purpose of calling everyone here today. In the past few days, you all have a lot of things to do, especially the reorganization of a large number of the original Tanghe Empire's surrendered troops, which has involved too much of our energy. We cannot digest them all, but It’s not possible to make one size fits all, plus some other trivial matters, it should be said that we could have done better in this regard." Wu Feng took the initiative to take over the responsibility. It should be said that the responsibility does lie on himself. Too much attention to domestic affairs made him Not enough attention was paid to Pauling's reminder. Fortunately, the defense change between the Jerok Army and the Fifth Army went very smoothly. Kang Jianguo and the Jerok Army, who had been idle for too long, couldn't wait to make up for some time losses. It was considered an unintentional intervention. Willow income.
