If Situ Tai gets the support of the Duodun people, his tight financial situation will be alleviated, and the gap with Situ Biao will be even greater. Wu Feng doesn't like to see this situation, and if the Japanese join this camp , the danger will increase exponentially, which is what Wu Feng is even more worried about. The Japanese ambitions for mainland land can be seen from the Japanese deliberately launching a surprise attack on the Crescent Peninsula of the Doton Kingdom, from choosing the timing to constructing Fortress, from colonial slavery to crazy immigration, it can be seen that the Japanese have long been determined to seize the Crescent Peninsula as their own. This also fully proves the adventurous and crazy character of the Japanese people. In order to achieve The end justifies the means, and through hard work they have achieved this.
What Situ Tai did was tantamount to setting himself on fire. In Wu Feng's view, this was purely a desperate act, but Wu Feng was powerless to stop it. Thousands of miles apart, even though Wu Feng knew about the other party's ambitions, he was beyond his reach and could only watch helplessly. As the Japanese invade the mainland step by step across the Atlantic Ocean, I don't know how much more effort it will take to drive the Japanese forces out of the Central Plains until the day I take control of the Central Plains.
Seeing the lord's gloomy face and cold words, the military generals who were still a little agitated immediately shut their mouths. Although Wu Feng rarely had an attack in front of the generals, as time went by, Wu Feng's majesty became more and more important. The hearts of the generals are also growing day by day. Some old people who have followed Wu Feng since the city guard gradually feel that the momentum exuded by this old boss is different from the past. Although Wu Feng seems to be even more approachable on the surface, But those who are familiar with him know that as he grows older and has experienced more scenes, His Highness the King of Qin has become very different from the former captain of the city guard army. And among some young officers and later joined the Western Xinjiang Among the generals of the army, Wu Feng's words and deeds have more powerful charisma and influence, and have even reached the point of blind worship.
Ling Tianfang stood up just in time, glanced around the venue, then his face became slightly calmer, and he waved to Qin Shuangying to continue the introduction.
"In view of the situation on the peninsula that has calmed down and the special circumstances of the peninsula, in addition to re-recruiting mercenaries originally affiliated with various countries to form a guard division in the South China Sea Autonomous Territory and Zhongnan County, the Fourth Army will also continue to operate in the two countries in the short term. stationed in the area, cooperating with the governors and local governments of the two places to ensure the stability of the local situation, and at the same time intimidating the Maci Khans in the east, forcing the Maci Khans to retain two corps garrison in Ronisia. According to the orders of His Highness the King of Qin and the Military Affairs Administration, The Sixth Army and the Seventh and Eighth Mixed Corps will immediately enter the Sanjiang area, complete the defense change with the First Army, increase the intensity of the attack on the Maci Khans, and maintain the offensive posture against the Maci Khans. First, they can take advantage of the Sanjiang area. The springboard firmly held back the main force of the Machikhans, and it also enabled the armies of the three numbers to achieve the purpose of military training through war with the Machikhans."
Although the Sixth Army has been established for some time, since the Sixth Army was all reorganized from the reserve army, its combat effectiveness is undoubtedly the weakest link in the entire Western Xinjiang military system, while the Seventh and Eighth Mixed Corps were reorganized from the Western Region United Army. Although the army has been formed for a long time, it has not experienced any major war training. Facing the upcoming war in the Central Plains, the Sixth Army and the Seventh and Eighth Army are in urgent need of a training ground to improve their combat effectiveness. Wu Feng originally intended The Sixth Army and the Indian Army exchanged their designations, allowing the Seventh and Eighth Army to go directly to the Jerok battlefield. Later, considering that the situation in India had been very calm, it would be difficult for the Sixth Army to be trained even if it arrived in India. However, the Jerok battlefield requires more mobile rangers, so simply pushing them directly onto the front-line battlefield with the Machikhans can also enable them to withstand the test of blood and fire in the shortest time. Become a real army.
"The Northern Kamans have experienced a series of attacks and logistical difficulties from us. Their posture has shifted to strategic defense. It is estimated that there will be no major changes in the short term, but it is not ruled out that the Kamans will jump over the wall and launch local counterattacks. The situation of the Poole people is worse than that of the Kaman people. The relationship between the Sisi Luo people and the Kaman people has deteriorated sharply due to food problems. Although they have not yet entered a state of war, both sides have stepped up their guard in the border areas. It is estimated that it will not be a short time to resolve this knot. It can be done within the country, but Prime Minister Gomez of Kaman has taken some measures to make up for and ease the relationship between the two parties.”
"Due to the continued economic improvement in the Western Region and Tengger region, the integration of the two regions into Western Xinjiang has been further accelerated, and a series of measures have been taken to improve ethnic relations. The Western Region has now become a region with relatively stable social security conditions in the counties of Western Xinjiang. In the Tengger area, the recovery rate of the Luobi people's strength is much lower than our expectations. Their influence in the eastern part of the expedition and our controlled areas is actually still on a downward trend. The Military Affairs Administration plans to expand the eastern part of the Luobei expedition under our control. The region has recruited one or two new ranger regiments in order to strengthen control over the Tengger Grassland."
When the situation in Tengri was introduced, Wu Feng frowned again, while Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen felt a little guilty. In view of the Ranger Regiment's excellent record in the northern campaign, Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen both It is unanimously agreed that when the Battle of the Central Plains is about to begin, both the Kaman and the Puer people are very likely to intervene in the middle and late stages of the battle for the Central Plains. In order to effectively contain and limit the influence of the Kaman and Puer people in this battle, Threats and strengthening the rangers' strength are the best means. However, when the two made suggestions in this regard to their superiors, they failed to get Wu Feng's approval. However, the two quietly proposed it at this military affairs meeting, hoping to When discussing this opinion at this meeting, even Qin Shuangying did not know their intentions. He only made a comprehensive analysis based on the information provided to the Secretariat by the Military Affairs Administration.
On the issue of military expansion, government officials have quietly withdrawn from the opposition position. Instead, Wu Feng, who combines military and political power, has become the main obstacle to blocking the military expansion. In addition to showing great enthusiasm for the establishment of the navy, Wu Feng has Feng has always been wary of the army's expansion. In previous small-scale discussions, Wu Feng insisted that the eight legions of the main army plus six legions of rangers and two legions of mixed forces are already the limit that Western Xinjiang can bear now, and in After the situation gradually stabilizes, some troops can be appropriately reduced. This is in direct opposition to the military's desire to expand the military. However, the opposition has changed from government officials to His Highness the King of Qin. Although military personnel have repeatedly argued that They even mobilized the Chief of Administration Xiao Tang, who no longer opposed the military expansion, to come forward to persuade him, but still failed to make Wu Feng change his attitude.
Wu Feng has always been very worried that military expenditure has greatly exceeded Western Xinjiang's fiscal revenue. Although a large amount of funds have been seized from the Indian region and huge profits have been made from the food crisis, this is only a temporary one-time income and cannot be It has become a long-term economic source to support the Western Xinjiang regime. According to the current number of troops it owns, the regular army of more than 1.1 million requires about 70 million imperial gold coins for annual salary alone, and the Western Xinjiang Protectorate The highest monthly fiscal revenue is only over 5 million imperial gold coins. Of course, some taxes and fees must be paid at the end of the year, but even so, the annual fiscal revenue of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate will not exceed 80 million imperial gold coins. We can only afford to pay the military salaries and there is very little left, not to mention that the military expenses are far more than the soldiers' salaries, the updating and replenishment of various weapons, equipment, armor and clothing, the consumption of logistics materials, and the costs of training exercises, these are all There is no bottomless pit, and government agencies have many other items that must be spent.
Xiaotang and James had clearly explained to Wufeng the current huge fiscal deficit problem in Western Xinjiang earlier, but due to the inconvenience of directly confronting the military, such evil people had no choice but to let Wufeng do it.
However, after learning about the results achieved by the Rangers in the northern campaign, Wufeng's attitude softened somewhat, and Ling Tianfang's proposal to recruit the Luobi people to become a cavalry under his command would also help the Luobi people conquer the east faster. Integration into Western Xinjiang. Although many Luobi people have always been resentful of their defeat at their hands, most of them belonged to the die-hard nobles who conquered the west. During the expedition to the east, the rapid rise of the wool textile industry caused the price of wool to plummet. Soaring, sheep farming has become the most profitable business on the Tengger Grassland. Both the nobles and the poor have focused all their attention on sheep husbandry. National conflicts have been covered up by hot gold coins. The tangible economic benefits made the Luobei people gradually change their attitude. Wufeng's timely implementation of the national reconciliation policy and the large number of Tanghe merchants entering the depths of the grassland also brought the Luobei people closer contacts with the hinterland of Western Xinjiang. The increasing Tangheization in the east has played a big role.
If you can form a Luobi cavalry unit that is loyal to you, it will not only enhance your military strength, but more importantly, it will make the Luobi people feel the broad tolerance of the Western Xinjiang regime, and you will also have a positive impression of the entire Luobi people. The plan that the nation adopts for its own use has a positive impact.
Seeing that Wu Feng only frowned and made no other expression, Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen exchanged knowing glances with each other, and they both realized that this adventure seemed to be promising.
Wu Feng didn't realize the little trick the two played with him. While listening to Qin Shuangying's introduction, he was more thinking about what kind of situation the Western Xinjiang would have in the year 699, which was to be determined by this military meeting. A character appears in the upcoming war in the Central Plains. Is he a protagonist, a supporting role, or an outsider
