"Your Excellency, do you want to go south to the Indo-China Peninsula Alliance?" Wenner was surprised and happy. What surprised him was that his new boss was really talented and strategic. As soon as he took over Tiannan and Burma, he had already surrendered to Burma. , the good news is that if you want to go south to the peninsula alliance countries, you will have to rely on your influence in southern Myanmar and the principality of Sulawesi, a member of the peninsula alliance immediately adjacent to southern Myanmar. When your boss met me before, he talked about forming the Southwest as soon as possible. The Fifth Division of the Legion seems to have meant what they said, and they can also use this opportunity to reshape their image and revive the Wen family tradition.
"What do you think?" Wu Feng asked instead without answering the other party's question.
Startled for a moment, Wen Na thought about it carefully. The boss's rhetorical question seemed to have another meaning. He had to think about it carefully, so as not to leave a bad impression on his boss when he talked about business with him for the first time. For the sake of his reputation, his boss is not an easy person to deal with, and he will not be able to hide it from the other party by dealing with him casually.
Wu Feng did not rush him and turned his gaze to the distance again. He obviously wanted to listen to the opinions of the Burmese Tiger, so he deliberately gave him enough time to think about it.
"Sir, I'm afraid you have to decide whether to invade the peninsula alliance countries or not, because this is related to the strategic direction of our Western Territory Protectorate, whether it is eastward or southward. The result has determined our center of gravity. South, none of that is a problem. With the force we have now, we can fight all the way to the coast of the Southern Ocean. However, we may face counterattacks from the countries of the Peninsula Alliance. In addition, as an important ally of the Peninsula Alliance, the Nanyang Alliance will definitely We will not let the trade routes controlled by the Peninsula Alliance be taken away by us, and we will definitely join this war. And another variable is the Machi Khans. Although they have not formed a strategic alliance with the Peninsula Alliance, they are also part of the Treaty of Urgen. We are a signatory country and are closely related to the Nanyang Alliance. They will not be happy to have the southern trade routes controlled by us, so they are very likely to get involved." After thinking for a long time, Wen Na came up with his own opinions carefully.
"You mean that both the Macchi Khan and the Nanyang Alliance will join the war against us?" Wu Feng's eyes moved slightly, carefully savoring the meaning of the other party's words.
"It is inevitable for the Nanyang Alliance to join, because it is related to their strategic interests, and they are closely related to the Peninsula Alliance. As for whether the Machikhans will directly join the frontal battle, I dare not say, but I am more worried. They will take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack on the Lin family in Sanjiang. If we really invest heavily in the battlefield of the Peninsula Alliance, I am afraid there will not be too many troops stationed in Tiannan. It will be difficult to make a strong response to the changes in the situation in Sanjiang. Once Sanjiang becomes In the areas controlled by the Machi Khans, not only will the Machi Khans become more powerful, they will also pose a serious threat to us in Tiannan."
After a pause, Wen Na seemed to be thinking about something, "In addition, as far as my subordinates know, that Lei Juetian is extremely scheming. The Guishan, Niudang, and Lita tribes of the several major ethnic minorities in Sanjiang are all They are secretly flirting with the Machikhan people, and the leaders of these major ethnic minorities are all close friends with Lei Juetian, and their personal relationship is extraordinary. Your Excellency also knows that these three tribes have never surrendered to the Lin family in Sanjiang, except for the original In addition to the support of the Lang family, their greatest help was actually the powerful Machikhans. Especially after the fall of Yuejing, the Machikhans became more active in Sanjiang. Although the Lin family's intelligence system vigorously suppressed them, the results were not great. It is said that even some Tang aristocratic landowners in Sanjiang have secretly reached some kind of compromise with Lei Juetian, but this is just a rumor heard by my subordinates and has no basis."
Hearing Wen Na's words, a chill ran down Wu Feng's back, and his hair pores almost shrank, "Where did you get this news? Is it true?"
If Lei Juetian's plan has progressed to this point, wouldn't the situation in Sanjiang be in danger? Then why didn't the Machihans take the opportunity to move westward when he was sending troops to the south? That was the best time to capture Sanjiang in one fell swoop. Could it be that the Sanjiang side really didn’t take any precautions? The Lin family has been based in Sanjiang for decades. Lin Guoxiong can be said to be a fox that has matured with age. How can he still hide the weirdness of Sanjiang? Impossible, things are definitely not that simple.
"It is absolutely a fact that the three major ethnic minorities in Sanjiang colluded with the Machi Khans, including us Burmese and several ethnic minorities in Tiannan, and the Machi Khans had a hand in it. To be honest with you, before surrendering to the northwest, the Maqi Khans The Qi Khans have had several contacts with their subordinates, and their subordinates have also received financial assistance from the Maci Khans. The Maci Khans hope that their subordinates can stay in Myanmar longer. The implication is that they will Solve the Sanjiang problem in a short period of time, and then deal with the Lang family. Since the subordinates turned against the Lang family, the four sons secretly went to Sanglin City to seek help from the Machihan people. They once met the leader of the Niudang clan by chance. When Lei Juetian came out of the house, although the other party did not recognize Wen Jie, Wen Jie recognized him. Wen Jie had also seen with his own eyes a man who looked like a Tang gentry being secretly received by Lei Juetian, and his accent had a strong Sanjiang flavor. So the subordinate That's why we made such an inference." Wenner's words were a little slow, but the meaning was extremely clear and there was no concealment.
Wu Feng also knew that Wen Jie, the fourth son of Wen Na, was an invisible person in the Wen family. He neither served in the army nor appeared in the government system. The security bureau and the intelligence department had evidence that Wen Jie was actually the Wen family. The family is also the intelligence chief of Burma, and its abilities are extraordinary. It is said that it has deep connections and roots in the countries of the Peninsula Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance, but the Wen family has never mentioned it to the outside world. What Wen Na said today was actually a disguised recognition of Wen Jie's status, which was equivalent to telling Wu Feng the most important secret of the Wen family. This made Wu Feng feel satisfied but also a little bit happy.
"General Wen Na, I heard that your son Wen Jie is quite talented. Since he is not serving in the army, the Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Bureau under me are currently short of manpower. Why don't you let your son help Gu Quan or Linghu Yi? I don't know. What do you think?" Wu Feng didn't want to be polite and went straight to the topic.
"Originally, my subordinates wanted to report some other situations to Your Excellency after everything happened here, but since Your Majesty mentioned it today, it would be the best. Your Excellency can think so highly of Quanzi, wouldn't Wenner follow the rules of fate? Can Wen Jie It is his good fortune to be favored by you, and I hope he will not disappoint you." Wenner also knew that this was actually an aspect of Wu Feng's integration of Burmese forces, but this was not unexpected by him, and no lord would tolerate it. His subordinates have their own intelligence system, so it is reasonable to take over. Li Wufeng can be so tolerant, which is very rare. Moreover, if Wen Jie can truly integrate into Wufeng's intelligence system, his future will be unlimited. I heard that intelligence The system directly deals with the boss himself. The people in the boss's harem usually handle daily affairs. Even the chief directors have no right to interfere. This shows its importance. This seems to be a blessing rather than a curse for Wen Jie.
"Haha, General Wenner, our Western Xinjiang Protectorate controls a vast area, the internal situation is complex, overseas forces are numerous, and contradictory interests are intertwined. The intelligence department is our eyes and ears, and plays a huge role in helping us decide on strategic policies. It is No one department can be replaced. As I just asked you about, our intelligence strength in the southern region is still a little weak, so I hope that I can open up the situation in the shortest possible time and provide sufficient intelligence support for our southern strategy. Don't worry, Li is very clear-minded. I can clearly see his public and private merits and demerits. The Western Xinjiang Protectorate will not treat anyone who serves loyally, and Li can guarantee this." Wu Feng's attitude was unusually gentle. He was modest, but the perseverance, confidence and contempt for all living beings revealed in his tone made Wen Na sigh inwardly.
"Does your Majesty still want to go south?" The topic returned to its original focus.
"You are right. Moving south and east depends on where we put our focus. At present, we are not capable of fighting a two-front war, but as time goes by, the timing is also changing. Machiavellian Why did the Khans not invade Sanjiang when we entered Tiannan? This question needs to be clarified, but I think Lin Guoxiong is not that simple. What is the problem with the Machi Khans?" Wu Feng shook his head, He was a little confused. He really couldn't see why the Machihan people gave up this good opportunity. In fact, the reason why he was so eager to capture Tiannan was that in addition to worrying that Winner would not be able to hold on due to Myanmar's strategic considerations, the other main reason was that he was worried The Machian people changed their strategy and marched westward to Sanjiang. Once Sanjiang fell, Tiannan would probably fall into the arms of the Maqian people, especially since Wen Na and other ethnic minorities were colluding. . Although Wufeng did not have definite evidence at the beginning, he still considered the weakness of ethnic minorities.
"Whether we are moving south or east, our first priority is to stabilize Tiannan and Myanmar. To stabilize Tiannan and Myanmar, we need to start from both the military and political aspects. In terms of the military, now we are entering Tiannan and Myanmar. The army will not stay here for too long, so I hope you will assist Mulige to set up the Southwest Army as soon as possible. The four divisions must treat each other equally, without distinction, and quickly improve their combat effectiveness so that they can adapt to the needs of the situation as soon as possible. ; As for government affairs, the political structures of the five Tiannan prefectures will be adjusted soon. Myanmar’s economy is too weak, which is not conducive to our future plans to manage the south. I want to build cities and towns in central Myanmar and southern Myanmar respectively, with a large scale. It doesn’t have to be big, but it needs to take into account both people’s livelihood and military needs, and become the economic and political center and military logistics base of a place.” Wu Feng’s eyes seemed to be looking north across thousands of mountains and valleys.
