Cold sweat gradually seeped out from Gu Dengyun's spine. Do the Japanese really want to carry out a large-scale landing operation in the hinterland of the empire regardless of their lives? This thought flashed across Gu Dengyun's mind, and he was busy looking for information about the Japanese before and after the Japanese movement from the intelligence data. Gu Dengyun was shocked to find that the number of troops stationed in the Cook Islands, Ryukyu Islands and Treasure Island had increased to thirty. Around 10,000, the original Japanese garrison number on Kamchatka Island had always been maintained at 50,000, but now it was reduced to only 3,000. On the contrary, the number of Japanese garrison on the island increased to 120,000.
The pencil was carefully sketched on the map, and a vague figure slowly emerged in Gu Dengyun's mind. It seemed that the Japanese were not just using their navy to harass the empire's coastline to contain the empire's power, as some people in the empire thought. These 300,000 people The army was quietly transported to the islands separated by straits from the mainland of the empire. The intention was obviously not as simple as harassing the coast. Three hundred thousand troops, this is not a small number, although it is not a small number for the huge imperial army. But for Donghai and Jiangnan, which have weak defenses, this is a bit dangerous.
There are now more than one million Liberian coalition forces in the north, forming several fighting groups. Although the Machi Khans in the south remain on the defensive on the surface, they have no intention of truce and suing for peace. The Machi Khans have already carried out the largest scale attack. war mobilization, declared that the country has entered a state of emergency, and all reserve troops have been conscripted into the army, assuming a posture of incompetence. The Nanyang Alliance has also officially declared war on the Empire. The coalition forces are also advancing towards the borders of Laos and Mawlamyine. These signs indicate that a huge military alliance against the empire has moved from initial theory to the stage of substantial implementation.
Under this situation, the vast majority of the Imperial Army was dispersed in several counties and the inland Machihan border area in the south. Once a full-scale war broke out, the Japanese Army suddenly landed on a large scale in the East China Sea and Jiangnan. This was a huge blow to the Empire. That is undoubtedly a huge crisis. Relying only on a few marine divisions and local security forces would be impossible to withstand the Japanese army's ground attack. If the empire was not prepared, it might even lead to the fall of Donghai and Jiangnan, thus endangering the empire's survival.
Thinking of this, Gu Dengyun felt a chill in his heart. Once this happens, it will be almost irreversible. If the empire does not take preventive measures in time, it may really lead to a catastrophic disaster. Standing up in a hurry, Gu Dengyun didn't care about the time. He had to go to the palace immediately to report and put forward his own opinions. Otherwise, a day and a half delay may bring unexpected consequences.
When Gu Dengyun reported the information he had obtained and the inferences he had drawn to Wu Feng, who was getting up in his clothes, Wu Feng was also secretly shocked. Such a change by the Japanese Army was clearly an attempt to attack the Eastern Continent, which was different from the previous conclusions drawn by the military. The inference that the Japanese will only use the navy as the main force and the army to cooperate with the harassment is completely different. If the army of 300,000 people does not have the Liberians and Machikhans, it is not worth mentioning to the empire. But jumping out at this time seems very important.
"Well, the purpose of the Japanese army's gathering in the Cook Islands and Ryukyu Islands is naturally Yanshan and Okhotsk. Now the three battle groups formed by the Liberians have gradually taken shape. The eastern front group is obviously aimed at the front line of Yanyun County. After all, Whether it will be from the clouds or from the front line between Okhotsk and Yanshan has not yet been determined. But no matter which part breaks through and the war breaks out, if the Japanese break through from Yanshan, it will cause us great passivity and may even affect the entire war situation." Wu Feng tapped the case. Map on the table. Agree with Gu Dengyun's view.
"The purpose of the Japanese army assembled on the treasure island is also very obvious, which is to launch an attack on the hinterland of the empire south of the Yangtze River. Once the south of the Yangtze River is lost, the empire will definitely shake the whole country, and the psychological impact on the people of the country will even be greater than the military and economic impact. But now the south of the Yangtze River is only There are Marines guarding the area, and there are no regular Army troops stationed in the surrounding areas. The situation is particularly serious. His Majesty needs to first consider deploying defenses in the south of the Yangtze River." Gu Dengyun reminded Wu Feng.
While the two were discussing, a guard came to report that Dai Li, the newly appointed director of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, requested an urgent audience. Wu Feng also recruited the opponent. This Dai Li is also the elder of the Imperial Intelligence Agency. He was a key figure in the intelligence department when he was in Western Xinjiang. However, he was low-key and stayed behind the scenes most of the time. He was completely different from the working style of Gu Quan, the previous director of the Intelligence Agency. In ancient times, After Quan was dismissed, he has been working on behalf of the General Intelligence Agency. It was not until recently that he was officially appointed as the director of the General Intelligence Agency. However, after his appointment, he still maintained a low profile and rarely appeared in public. He is rarely seen within the General Intelligence Agency. Together with Xu Bin, the director of the Imperial Security Bureau, and Diao Su, the director of the Imperial National Security Agency, they are known as the three mysterious figures among the top officials of the empire.
As soon as Dai Li stepped into His Majesty the Emperor's study, he saw the geographical map of the Eastern Coast of the Empire placed on His Majesty's desk. Several arrows were drawn from the Cook Islands, the Ryukyu Islands and the Treasure Island. He looked at the map aside. With Gu Dengyun sitting upright, Dai Li knew that he was a step behind on this matter.
Dai Li does not want to take credit in front of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but the General Intelligence Bureau is a comprehensive intelligence agency for the entire empire, and the Military Intelligence Bureau is just an agency under the military. Whether it is in terms of personnel quality or financial support, the General Intelligence Bureau is a comprehensive intelligence agency for the entire empire. Both agencies should have an absolute advantage, but the Military Intelligence Agency is always on par with the General Intelligence Agency in many aspects of intelligence work, and even has a tendency to be slightly superior. This makes the newly appointed Dai Li feel a lot of pressure. , he finally noticed the clues, but the other party was able to get to His Majesty first. Taking a look at the arrow marked on the map, Dai Li also knew that his hard work had been overshadowed by others. There was some regret and reluctance in his heart, but Dai Li still had to admire the other party's ability. No matter what, he was working for the empire. This time he was taken advantage of by the other party, and he would find a way to win next time.
Hearing that the two major intelligence chiefs under his command unanimously responded to the crisis in the East China Sea and Jiangnan, Wu Feng also realized that if he did not make a decision and respond immediately to this problem, a slight delay would probably bring disaster. Yan Yun's side of the East China Sea The situation is slightly better. After all, there are a lot of troops stationed along the border in the Yanyun area, and they can be adjusted slightly. However, the Jiangnan side relies entirely on the Marine Corps. If the Japanese really want to make a concerted effort to invade with a large army, they can only I am afraid that the prosperous Jiangnan will really be destroyed by this war. It's just that there are almost no troops to mobilize around Jiangnan, and even the vicinity of the imperial capital is completely empty. If you want to mobilize troops, you can only mobilize troops from Yanyun and Beiyuan, or from the three rivers and five lakes.
Although the Heathrow people had expected it, they still did not expect that the Tang attack would come so quickly. When the southern invasion group formed by the Heathrow people had just time to meet at the Nuremberg line in the south, 60,000 Luobei cavalry had already rushed through like a storm. The dividing line between the Tengger Grassland and the Liberia Plain - the Irtysh River surges eastward. The wolf-like Luobi cavalry has not experienced the invasion of farming peoples for a long time. Since they were conquered by the Tang Dynasty, , the Luobei Rangers seemed to feel that even their own world seemed to be much narrower all of a sudden, but they knew that their wives, children, and children were looking forward to this kind of life continuing forever. After all, life was beautiful, and no one wanted to live it up. Facing the enemy's swords and guns every day, no one wants to live a precarious life.
But this does not mean that the blood and honor of Luobi men have been castrated. When the Tang Empire made a request to Watt, it only took a week for the 60,000 Luobi Rangers to be mobilized and prepared, and quickly entered the East in accordance with the order. The border area of Tengger Grassland is waiting for the next order. When the order came from the Northern Theater Command, the rangers who could no longer hold back immediately launched an unprecedented mopping up attack in all directions along the tens of thousands of miles of border, and the Luobei Rangers were just one of them. .
In fact, after the Hesi Luo people mobilized the whole country, they realized that the mainland would be raided by the Tang Rangers who had an absolute advantage. The Tang Dynasty would not just watch as the Liberian countries mobilized step by step and gathered step by step. To promote the war against the Tang Dynasty, preemptive strike is inevitable, especially on the side with the advantage of mobile power.
Just when the sixty thousand Luobei Rangers were roaring like locusts into the eastern plains of Heathrow and massacred wantonly, four regiments of Rangers also wanted to open the floodgates and rushed out of Jiayuguan like a flood, splitting into two arrows. Plunging into the heart of Heathrow and the Kaman Empire, the policy of burning everything and looting everything was not clearly stated, but almost every officer in charge knew exactly what his mission was in this battle, except for certain The targets are more targeted at those gentry and nobles who have private soldiers, abundant assets, and abundant grain reserves. They are the foundation that supports the countries of Liberia. The only way is to completely wipe them out and turn them into nothing. Only then can we truly delay and hinder this unprecedented war and win more preparation time for the empire.
The two ranger regiments broke into the Kingdom of Dodon from Okhotsk and swept westward along the northern hinterland of Dodon. The angry Dodon light cavalry were left far behind by them and did not proceed at all. What the fighting rangers like best is this kind of mopping up operation. Like a swarm of locusts and a group of vultures, they pass by, leaving only a mess. The taste of this asymmetrical battle is so nourishing.
