The intelligence analysis meeting was a success. Gu Dengyun and Wen Jie made special reports on behalf of the Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency respectively. Taking into account the changes in the situation on the entire continent, they focused on the situation in the interior of the empire, the situation in Maci Khan and Sanjiang, The situation of the alliance in Indochina and several other aspects.
The Intelligence Agency's report focused on comprehensive intelligence compilation and analysis, while the Military Intelligence Agency focused on military strategies. Wu Feng was very satisfied with the performance of the two rising stars, especially Wen Jie, who was able to accomplish this in such a short period of time. It is not easy to integrate into the military intelligence bureau and win the approval of your superiors. Linghuyi will not easily identify with someone, but Wufeng has heard the words of approval from his own military intelligence chief several times.
The situation within the empire has undergone some subtle changes. Situ Tai's strong power has been vaguely demonstrated through his military strength. He captured the entire Donghai County in one breath, defeated Situ Yuan's Tenth Army and fled in panic. Jinling, such a dangerous and fortified place, could only hold on for two days. Although there were many reasons, such a highly symbolic city fell into the hands of Situ Tai, which made many conservative nobles in the empire who had already recognized Situ Lang's identity as the orthodox emperor begin to feel alive again.
In particular, Situ Lang's weak performance against the Kaman and Taiping troops greatly disappointed many wealthy families in the imperial capital. The gentry and landlords who escaped from occupied areas such as Beiyuan, Yanyun and Heshuo were even more enthusiastic. We need to mobilize and ask the empire to come up with a timetable for recovering the occupied areas in various places and return our mountains and rivers as soon as possible. However, the imperial army, which has been defeated repeatedly, has done its best to maintain the current status quo. Such a result cannot at all allow those who fled to the imperial capital. The local nobles and nobles were satisfied, and they united to lobby the wealthy families in the capital in an attempt to force the emperor to order the imperial guards to leave the imperial capital to join the battlefield against the Kaman and Taiping troops. However, this was firmly rejected by Situ Lang. , because once the Guards Corps loses, I am afraid that this emperor will really come to an end, and he cannot take this risk.
This also made many nobles gradually become disappointed with the new emperor who had not yet established sufficient authority. These nobles formed a group and slandered the government all day long. They also used the news media they controlled to constantly criticize the corruption, depravity, weakness and incompetence of the central government of the empire. Although they did not Dare to directly target His Majesty the Emperor, but the important ministers of the DPRK and Central Government have become the targets of their concentrated attack. Opinions tending to support Situ Tai's ascension to the throne also quietly spread in the imperial capital and various parts of the north. This trend became more obvious after the entire Donghai County represented by Jinling City fell into Situ Tai's hands. In addition, the First Army defeated the Puer invasions under the city of Beiping, forcing the Puers to completely withdraw from Beiping Prefecture, and the Kaman army in Cangzhou Prefecture also took the initiative to withdraw from Cangzhou, making Situ Tai's reputation reach an unprecedented level. At the peak, as an omen, the call for Situ Tai to be crowned King of Qi quickly rose, which plunged Situ Lang into a serious crisis.
The situation in the Wuhu area is even more mysterious. Situ Biao's potential power has begun to show signs. The large land aristocrats headed by the Suo family openly support Situ Biao, and some business aristocrats also agree, making Situ Biao's power more powerful. Wuhu completely overwhelmed Situ Jun. Wen Ning's recovery made him famous. With the two major granaries of Anqing and Yueyang as the backing, his logistical support was still much better than others even in the face of drought. . Situ Jun's strength has completely shrunk. The Fifth Army and two independent divisions with more than 100,000 troops huddled in a small Huanggang Mansion. The huge financial and logistical pressure made Situ Jun almost breathless. The Machi Khans in Baling Prefecture seemed determined to defend the territory. The number of troops stationed in Baling increased from two corps to three, close to 100,000 people. Situ Biao, who originally hoped to recover Baling in one go, had to suppress With this idea in mind, facing an army of 100,000 Mach Khan, he did not have the courage or the strength to fight head-on with the opponent, even if he had an advantage in the navy, he would not dare.
The situation outside the empire is equally confusing. After repeatedly defeating the counterattacks of the Doton army, the Japanese have successfully established a foothold on the Crescent Peninsula and began to steadily implement colonial rule. Not only did they seize all property belonging to the Dodon conquerors and civilians, Not only did they sell all the few Duodun people in the Crescent Peninsula as slaves to various parts of Southeast Asia and even the Central China, but a large number of Japanese began to move to the Crescent Peninsula.
This method aroused the overwhelming anger of the Dodon people, but without the support of the Imperial Navy, the several naval battles launched by the Dodon Navy ended in the disastrous defeat of the Dodon people, and the two landing campaigns launched in an attempt to start from the Crescent Moon They landed in the middle of the peninsula and surrounded the back of the fortress. Due to the tight defense and vigilance of the Japanese, the entire Doton army was annihilated. The Japanese, who came one after another like locusts, quickly occupied all parts of the Crescent Peninsula. The number of Japanese civilians on the Crescent Peninsula soon reached about 150,000, which was already twice the number of residents on the Crescent Peninsula by the Doton people, the original owners.
Gu Quan also introduced the development of the Japanese people in recent years. The Tatehara Mountains and Rivers have unified the entire Japanese people. Except for the Tianqiu tribe and the Shengbi tribe, which are still struggling, the other tribes have all attached themselves to Tatehara's subordinates. The total population and area controlled by the Tatehara tribe has accounted for about 70% of the Japanese population. It is close to three million. Due to the large population, small land and lack of various resources on the island, although the Liyuan tribe has completed the unification of most parts, the lives of ordinary Japanese people are still very difficult, and class contradictions are still very prominent. Many middle- and upper-class wealthy families are against The civil war on the island was not very supportive, so Tatehara Yamakawa brazenly launched the Northern Expedition on the Crescent Peninsula before unification was completed to win the support of the wealthy families within the island.
The success of the Crescent Peninsula Battle not only eased the internal conflicts among the Japanese and gave a large number of landless poor people a place to live, but also greatly stimulated the expansion of the upper-middle-class Japanese wealthy families. Their goals were no longer limited to The Doton people's Crescent Peninsula and Cook Islands have also shifted their attention to Kamchatka and Lucius Islands in the east. It was only because the Tanghe Empire's navy was still powerful and the Japanese's own army suffered heavy losses on the Crescent Peninsula, and the Crescent Peninsula still needed the support of the navy controlled by Situ Tai, that they dared not launch.
However, a new round of Japanese military expansion frenzy has begun. The Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands have become the best attractions in the Tatehara Mountains to attract the enthusiasm of wealthy families and ordinary people. Both the standing army and the reserve army have been greatly improved, and tens of thousands of The sale of Doton civilians as slaves also provided a solid financial foundation for Tatehara Shanchuan.
The Japanese people's desire for various strategic materials can be seen from the continuous supply fleets bound for the Crescent Peninsula and the Japanese Empire in the Atlantic Ocean. The Japanese Kochun grain harvest in the Atlantic Ocean also made progress in the Tatehara Mountains and Rivers. The basis of trade, the high food prices on the mainland made Tatehara Mountains and Rivers desperately collect all the excess food from the Japanese people and transport it to the mainland in exchange for strategic materials such as raw iron, weapons, cloth, lacquer, tung oil, solid wood, copper, etc., and smuggled ships The army was rampant for a while, and the embargo issued by the empire was a piece of waste paper. As long as there was money, any materials dared to be imported into the Japanese army. Even the war horses, which were in short supply in the imperial army, quietly flowed into the Japanese army, and in large quantities. Small.
The crazy behavior of the Japanese made everyone here worried. The Japanese will become an unprecedented enemy of the Tanghe Empire in the future. This opinion was unanimously recognized by everyone. Their extreme desire for land, wealth and other interests will make their foreign wars step by step. It is getting faster and bigger, and the frequency will be faster, and the fanatical nature of their nation to worship the strong and bully the weak is likely to make them target the declining Tanghe Empire in the near future. This cannot but be Wu Feng felt a little worried, especially since his navy was not strong enough.
In comparison, the actions of the Machihan people are much gentler and gentler, but this does not mean that the Machihan people are easier to deal with than the Japanese. There are people like Lei Juetian who are well aware of the current situation within the empire and are also talented. Politicians, the Maci Khans who are eyeing their own territory are the most realistic threat in Wu Feng's mind. In particular, the decline of the Lin family in Sanjiang is an opportunity. If the Machi Khans capture Sanjiang, Wufeng's southern territory will inevitably face the danger of being cut off. And Wufeng captures Sanjiang, including Yuejing and Baling. The territory that the Machi Khans have not conquered for a long time may become Wu Feng's next delicacy. Sanjiang has become a key point related to the rise and fall of the power of the Machi Khans and the Western Xinjiang Protectorate.
Among the four people present, except Wen Jie who was not aware of the ambiguous relationship between his boss and the third lady of the Lin family, even Gu Dengyun was vaguely aware of it. Only Wen Jie was unaware and eagerly proposed that we should attack Sanjiang with all our strength now and take down the three rivers in one fell swoop. He went down to Sanjiang to ensure the safety of the southern territory, but found that his proposal did not get the expected response. He was a little surprised, but when he saw the strange embarrassment on the faces of his three colleagues, he wondered if he was in some way Violated Wu Feng's taboo.
Wu Feng also felt a little embarrassed. This was also the biggest trouble that plagued him. Of course, his relationship with Lin Yuexin was one reason, and the other reason was that his army's defense range was too wide, and there were not many mobile troops that could be concentrated. Nan and Burma had just been recovered, and he was a little worried that he was biting off more than he could chew. The Western Xinjiang Governor's Office had not yet issued an approval, and the recovery of Tiannan and Burma had also not been officially recognized by the central government of the empire, although Wu Feng was not afraid. What, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.
I recommend the new work of Skeleton Elf, "The Festival of the Sea King", and by the way, I also shamelessly ask everyone to support my new book, "Magic Luck", I believe you will not be disappointed.
