He picked up and put down the glass magnifying glass on the map. It was an imported product from the Western Continent. It was a rare thing that could magnify smaller things on the map. However, it did not help solve the doubts in the pudgy old man's mind.
It can be clearly seen from the map that Li Wufeng's so-called Western Xinjiang Army has assembled as many as 110,000 people in Beijerok. Together with the so-called imperial dispatched army of a division and 70,000 Jerok Defense Forces, their number has exceeded With a total of 200,000, it posed a great threat to Beijerok, which only had one regiment stationed there. Although the combat effectiveness of Jerok's 70,000 troops cannot be complimented, the 160,000 Xijiang Army was not an easy bone to chew on. Pinglu A head-to-head battle with no tricks made several generals under his command who had never paid attention to the Tanghe people all turned pale when talking about "Western". Now if anyone dares to boast that the Western Xinjiang Army is a If he was a weakling, even the arrogant Nick and Claudia would spit in his face.
The Battle of Pinglu has completely changed the Kaman military's view of the Tanghe army. Originally, they could only barely win over the Tanghe people's first and second legions. Now, a more fierce Xijiang army has arrived. Calculate After looking at the ratio of enemy and friend consumption in the battle of Pinglu, even Gomez himself had to admit that he had underestimated the world's heroes. Li Wufeng's success was not only based on conspiracy, but more importantly, he had an iron army that was tempered and loyal.
Thinking of this, Gomez couldn't help but sigh again. It seems that the Kaman people still have a long way to go before they want to dominate the Central Plains. The Machihans can compete with the Western Xinjiang Army, and the Japanese can With a small number of enemies and a large number of people fighting against the Duodun people, it seems that the Eastern Continent is still full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but it turns out that I am a little bit watching the sky from a well. Seeing the densely marked addresses on the map and the areas separated by colors, the protruding Beijerok, Yulin, Qinghe, and Pinglu, the faint light green became so dazzling at this time, the pudgy old man realized for the first time in his heart In fact, there are bad times when occupying so much land.
The three words Jiayuguan suddenly flashed into Gomez's eyes, making Gomez's eyelids twitch. Could it be that Li Wufeng wanted to seize Jiayuguan in one fell swoop? Gomez immediately burst into laughter. It was impossible. He was too sensitive. Although there were only 30,000 people stationed in Jiayuguan now, the natural moat built by the Tanghe people had now become their nightmare. No one could conquer it by force. As long as they occupy Jiayuguan, even if all Beijerok is recaptured by them, they can still easily go south from Jiayuguan.
So where will Li Wufeng's goal be? Yulin Mansion? Is it necessary? The remote and impoverished Yulin Mansion is probably given to Li Wufeng now, and Li Wufeng may not be willing to take it. Just like Heishan and Longquan that are now in his hands, apart from the mob, they are refugees. If it were not for the lack of military control, the refugees may move north and west. Running around and endangering the mainland's defense line, Gomez had long wanted to throw these two places out, especially after experiencing Nick and his gang collecting food and grass on the spot. But now it seems it’s time to throw away these two baggages.
Pinglu Mansion? Does Li Wufeng have the guts to fight in Pinglu Graveyard again? Gomez shook his head subconsciously. The brutal battle on Pinglu even made Gomez feel pain in his heart to this day. More than 70,000 elite soldiers were buried in the loess in this little-known place. The blood shed by the soldiers was enough to infiltrate the entire earth. Of course, Li Wufeng felt equally uncomfortable. Gomez didn't believe that Li Wufeng dared to have the painful experience of exchanging blood for flesh with him, which would hurt both sides.
Shaking his head, Gomez realized for the first time that he could not figure out the other party's thoughts. Logically speaking, Li Wufeng's first target should be the Central Plains in the east. Even if it is not appropriate to raise troops at the moment, he should calm down and recharge his batteries. Why is it that Nanjieluoke is doing so with great fanfare and in a decent manner? I don’t know what is weird about it.
But the danger in front of Beijerok is objective. The total number of troops in Jiama and Fanlin is only 70,000, which is only equivalent to one-third of the enemy troops gathered in Nanjielok. Moreover, it is not only the garrison of Jiama and Fanlin. The two cities of Ma and Fanlin also have garrisons in some fortresses outside the two cities. Such dispersed forces can easily be defeated by each other. Fortunately, Maili has noticed this and has shrunk the defense line. However, in this way, it is difficult to see The upcoming grain harvest will be greatly restricted. Will Li Wufeng intentionally use this method to consume his own side? Gomez was a little undecided.
Just when Gomez was troubled by Xijiang's actions in Nanjieluoke, Wufeng had quickly returned to Qingyang, and after a short stay in Qingyang, he secretly headed south via the customs pass to the southwest and then to Tiannan and entered the capital of Burma County, Po. City, before that, Ling Tianfang had arrived in Perth with the Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency, and the First Army of Western Xinjiang and the two cavalry regiments also used the method of exchanging more for less in the name of defense. Drive south.
As the golden autumn approaches in October, there is already a hint of coolness in Myanmar, but compared to Kansai and Northwest China, it is still a little too warm here, making it difficult for people to feel the arrival of autumn. The lush green forest winds southward along the road, one leading to the end of the southern horizon. It can be seen that the north-south road running through Burma County has only been initially repaired, making it very difficult for even vehicles to pass. There have been some improvements. At the very least, ordinary carriages can barely go all the way to Mughal City in southern Myanmar. Going south to the northernmost Principality of Sulawesi in the Peninsula Alliance is only a narrow path.
As soon as Myanmar came under its own jurisdiction, Wu Feng instructed that the roads running through the north and south of Myanmar must be included in the No. 1 plan and start construction as soon as possible. However, because the basic conditions of Myanmar are so poor, especially in central and southern Myanmar, it is even more remote. There are less than 200,000 people in Central and Southern Myanmar, and most of them are scattered in the mountains and forests. The two cities of Mugal and Labo are not so much cities, but two small market towns. If they are slightly larger than those in the mainland of the Central Plains, Market towns are also far inferior. It is indeed not easy to suddenly build a road that runs from north to south. Fortunately, after Luman took office as the governor of Burma County, on the one hand, he was forced by Wu Feng to urge him, and on the other hand, he also realized that this road would be very important for him. The development of Burma County as a whole, especially in central and southern Myanmar, is of vital special significance. In addition, refugees from the Heshuo area have also continuously poured into Burma County, which has also brought him sufficient labor force.
Under the forced order of the Governor-General's Office, all refugees were not allowed to live in northern Myanmar and all went to central and southern Myanmar. Although this aroused opposition from some refugees at the time, people under the roof had to bow their heads in the face of the tough government. attitude, the refugees finally chose to obey, especially after Lu Man obtained a special subsidy for refugees from the Financial Department of the Western Xinjiang Government Affairs Bureau, he immediately announced the resettlement subsidies he would receive if he moved to central and southern Myanmar. As well as the preferential treatment that can be enjoyed, this contradiction was quickly understood.
"The Sulawesi people rejected our request? It seems that this Grand Duke is still an unyielding person? He has great ambition and spirit." Wu Feng smiled and opened his clothes on his chest, and the October Burma The ground is not much different from September in Kansai and Northwest China. It is even warmer. After some exploration, Wu Feng also felt a little warm.
"Haha, Your Highness, the Sulawesi people are not fools. Once this road is built, it will certainly improve business exchanges, but the side effects will be equally obvious. Facing a powerful neighbor like us, even a fool would think about it. Whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, don’t even think about why your own country perished just to develop trade. What’s more, the main business partners of the Peninsula Alliance are the countries in the Central Continent, but in the Eastern Continent, the big guy, the Nanyang Alliance, is trying to do this. They support it, and the commercial exchanges are mainly between the Nanyang Alliance and the Machi Khans. They feel there is no need to take the risk of opening a new trade route between Burma and them." Luman explained with a helpless smile: "But this This road is crucial to Myanmar. Once our road can directly lead to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, then our Myanmar county’s specialties can be directly transported to the seaside port, where they can be loaded onto ships and shipped to all parts of the central and western continents, and even The Eastern Continent is a coastal port in the Atlantic Ocean, which saves effort and time compared to transporting by land, especially it can also open the most convenient channel to the Central and Western Continent.”
"Don't the Sulawesi people know what it means to reject our Western Xinjiang?" Wu Feng showed a cruel smile on his face, "Do they really think that the alliance can save their fate?!"
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Luman said with some embarrassment: "Sir, Sulawesi is just a small country with a few people and a weak country, and its military strength is not worth mentioning. However, in Myanmar County and Sulawesi There are only small trails connecting the west and west, and even transportation is quite difficult. The middle is filled with shallow hills covered with forests, which greatly restricts the movement of large-scale armies. It is not easy to pose a threat to them through here."
"It all depends on manpower, but your first priority now is to repair the key sections of the road from Mugal to Perth City within a week. You don't need to worry about the rest. I don't want to see something like this a week later." ." There was no room for bargaining in Wu Feng's words.
"I understand. Luman will recruit another group of refugees to devote themselves to the maintenance and repair of the road area. God knows, the ground in Myanmar has been very dry these days, which is also quite suitable for road maintenance." You shouldn't ask. Resolutely not to ask, Lu Man knew that some things did not necessarily need to be understood by everyone. He only needed to perform his duties as the governor of Burma.
