Almost at the same time, on February 16, 699 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the Machi Khan army once again set out westward. Six regiments of 180,000 troops swept along the western border of the Peninsula Alliance with the force of strong winds. At the same time, the Nanyang Alliance announced the abolition of the still-ink-dry peace agreement and required the Western Xinjiang Army to withdraw from Legon, Moro and Eastern Samoa within one day, otherwise it would face war. The war is raging in the north, and the war is starting again in the south. On February 17, after being flatly rejected by the joint efforts of Zhong Wenjing, the governor of the South China Sea stationed in Eastern Samoa, and Mulige, the military chief stationed in the peninsula, the Nanyang Alliance's 120,000 troops passed through Sambao City and attacked Legon in two ways. and Moro cities.
Mulige looked at the map on the desk with a solemn expression. The enemy was coming fiercely, especially the Machikhans who mobilized 180,000 troops at once to attack Kutdan and Legon. Obviously, they wanted to capture Kutdan and Legon. The two bridgeheads of Lygon are preparing for the next eastward invasion.
His fingers moved slowly on the map. Mulige's somewhat darkened eyes proved that he had not slept for at least two nights. The enemy's actions this time should be said to be somewhat unexpected. The troops of the Machihans and the Nanyang Alliance Although mobilization has been carried out long ago, winter is originally the season for military exercises, and military mobilization is considered normal. However, this is a sensitive period, especially when the war is raging in the north, and the central and southern regions have obviously fewer troops. , even any abnormal movement by the powerful enemy to the east will attract Mulige's attention.
Although the Machkhans and the Nanyang Alliance conducted military mobilization in the name of military exercises, the intelligence agencies still smelled some abnormal situations. A large amount of logistics supplies and ordnance were replenished and replaced, and most of the replenishing and replacing troops were concentrated in the western regions of the Machi Khan and the Nanyang Alliance. This was obviously very targeted. The intelligence reports returned from internal secret lines also confirmed that several members of the Military Committee in charge of military affairs in the Nanyang Alliance Parliament have been in secret contact with the allies in the north. Although the detailed information cannot be obtained, one thing can be confirmed. The mobilization of the army is definitely closely related to the Machikhans. The two sides seem to be formulating a joint combat plan. The conspiracy hidden behind this is about to emerge. Apart from the Milanese, it seems that only our own side meets this condition, and the Nanyang Alliance will definitely not participate. When it comes to the war against the Milanese, the close economic relationship between the two sides makes it impossible for both sides to solve the problem through military means, so the only target is their own side.
It should be said that the outstanding work efficiency of the intelligence department gave our side a head start in this war. Although no valuable clues were obtained from the Machihans, they obtained priceless troop dispatches from the Military Committee of the Nanyang Alliance Parliament. Intelligence, this at least bought Mulige more than three days of preparation time. The defense system of Laigon was too weak and could not be guaranteed even a month in advance. Mulige decisively adopted the strategy of giving up. Of course, before that, Laigon All the government's funds and valuable materials have been transferred to Eastern Samoa overnight, and the passes leading to Moro and Medan have also been improved as soon as possible. The importance of Kutdan forced Mulige to directly face the huge pressure from the Machi Khans. Once this place was lost, the entire Zhongnan County would be exposed to the Machi Khans. Fortunately, Kutdam was originally a city. A natural military fortress, after two months of deliberate improvement and reinforcement, although there are some shortcomings in military strength, the good defense facilities are enough to offset these shortcomings.
What worries Mulige the most is Moro. Not only are there good road facilities connecting Sanbao to Moro, but what is even more worrying is that the two places share the same coast. The naval fleet can not only launch attacks, but most importantly The problem is that the navy can easily drop landing troops anywhere to launch an attack. Such an unpreventable means of invasion made Mulige very troubled when considering this issue. What is worrying is not just this issue. According to the information obtained from the internal affairs department, some unstable elements are already involved in the activities. Although they have not shown the possibility of rebellion, in this season, they In addition to focusing on the current situation, are there other possibilities for our activities? It's just that in this sensitive season, besides declaring a state of emergency and martial law and curfew, Mulige did not dare to take measures against these people easily. At the same time, he asked Zhong Wenjing to come forward to appease the citizens' emotions and stabilize the social situation. The only way was to bring the Nanyang Alliance to The coalition forces blocked Moro City.
As soon as he got the news, Mulige sent an emergency report to the Western Xinjiang Military Affairs Administration and the Prince of Qin's Mansion. At the same time, Mulige also sent a request for help to the people stationed in Sanjiang. At present, the only one who could help him was I am afraid that the only thing I can do is switch to the Sixth Army in Sanjiang. Although Mulige has never thought highly of the combat effectiveness of the newly-built Sixth Army, in any case, it is always a regular army of the Western Xinjiang Army. Compared with the self-organized security forces in Nanhai and Zhongnan County, not only their combat effectiveness is much higher, but the most reassuring thing is that their reliability is unquestionable, and the training time of these security forces recruited from local people is so short, and It has only been a few months since this area was included in the administration of Xijiang, and the sense of identity that takes time to cultivate is simply not guaranteed.
At present, Wenner has led three divisions to guard Kutdan, and this time he has taken away more than half of his available troops. But even so, Mulige is still a little uneasy. The main target of the Machikhan people's attack It must be placed in Kutdam. Legon is just an appendage and has little strategic value other than itself. As long as Kutdam can be held, Mulige believes that he has won half of the war. Of course, the other half is naturally in Moro. Once Moro is lost, Eastern Samoa will inevitably follow suit. Therefore, this battle must not be lost. Although the security forces cannot be used to fight, they can maintain the city. The social security in the country is still serviceable, and what reassures Mulige the most is the six thousand water camp brought by Lei Cangpu. These soldiers from the mainland were originally adapted from the army. Now that the situation is urgent, they have to let them go. These guys immediately returned to their original state, and Mulige had ordered Lei Canpu to organize these 6,000 people plus the troops directly under his own legion into three regiments of reserves, ready to be used as a trump card in combat.
Lei Cangpu is indeed a talent. In just a few months, he has led the backbones of Changfenghui and Xijiang Shuiying to completely control the Xijiang Navy, which was the result of the integration of the two navies. It has officially entered the stage of the Southern Ocean. , although they still dare not directly challenge the navy of the Nanyang Alliance, their mission in this battle is very simple, which is to use existing ships to defend the two ports of Moro and Eastern Samoa. According to the information obtained, the navy of the Nanyang Alliance seems to be There is no intention to decide the outcome of this battle through a battle between the navies of both sides, because this cannot be done. The final outcome of the war must be proved through a confrontation on land.
"Report!" There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by the guard's report, "Mr. Kirk is already here!"
"Please hurry up!" Mulig's eyes lit up. He came back so quickly. It seems he should have gained something.
"Haha, Mr. Kirk, you have worked hard on this trip. After this war is over, rewards will be given based on merit. The Governor and I will definitely report to His Highness the King of Qin that those who have contributed to our Western Border will not be rewarded. I will forget them." Seeing the joyful expression on the other side's face, Mulige felt a big stone drop in his heart. It seemed like there was a chance, and he finally found the wrong person.
"Master Mu, please don't say that. Now that the Giggs family is a citizen of Western Xinjiang, serving Western Xinjiang is what we should do as ordinary members." There was a look on Kirk's slightly arrogant cheek at this time. With a smile on his face, in front of the military leader of the entire peninsula, Kirk did not dare to be presumptuous even if he was the patriarch of the Giggs family.
"It seems that Mr. Kirk has succeeded immediately. For everything Mr. Kirk has done this time, on behalf of myself and Nanhai County, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Kirk. As the old saying goes, everything goes without saying. We will never forget the friends who helped us." Mulige returned to his usual calmness, and while greeting the other party to sit down, he motioned for the guards to leave.
"Thanks to the general, this matter went smoothly. As the general said, there are different views on this matter within the alliance, especially the coastal countries and city-states. They do not agree with following the military actions of the Machi Khans, so They had many arguments about this operation, and the Machi Khans also exerted a lot of pressure, and finally reluctantly passed it. However, the coastal countries and city-states have always had reservations. This time, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Alliance army was one of the opponents. The main representative, it is said that he specifically asked to be the deputy commander in order to prevent the alliance army from suffering losses. If we can open up this link, I think we may be able to avoid this war." Kirk's face flashed with a faint smile, Apparently he was quite satisfied with the results of his operation.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mulig suppressed the joy in his heart and said in as indifferent a tone as possible: "Mr. Kirk, we still can't be too optimistic. In my opinion, war is inevitable. The enemy will not We will not accept failure willingly, but there is such a factor in it. We might as well get in touch first to see if there is any possibility of resolving the crisis. Even if it doesn't work, as long as we sincerely want peace, I can guarantee that no matter what happens in the future Changes, we in Xijiang will definitely remember this sentiment."
I need a recommendation vote, haha
