Jinxia City, General Assembly Hall of the Secretariat.
Since the energy source in the patio area was connected, the oil lamps and candles in the synagogue were immediately replaced by shock lamps. Even just a few handmade incandescent lamps were enough to keep the hall brightly lit.
Three hours ago, the Ministry of Telecommunications received a signal from Yama Island and successfully connected to it. At this point, the sudden events in Yama Country that day have now been turned into detailed reports and distributed to each participant.
Although he had already seen the magic of the audio device, Qian was still filled with emotion when he received this report.
That's what happened across the sea!
In the past, evil spirits were causing chaos in the sea, and communication between the two sides was almost completely cut off; now even if there are no evil spirits, the strange and unpredictable ocean itself is a chasm. But relying on radio waves, all geographical gaps have been smoothed out. As soon as something happens over there, Jinxia City, thousands of miles away, can immediately get the news. This means that Her Royal Highness the Princess's control over the territory under her rule will reach a level of unprecedented situation.
This magical weapon is undoubtedly a double-edged sword.
If the saint is a wise king, it will naturally be a good thing for the people. If the ruler is a foolish king, the difficulty of riots will increase several steps.
Qian couldn't help but look at Xia Fan, who was sitting at the other end of the long table.
For some reason, he felt that as long as this person was still around, Ning Wanjun would not deviate from the norm.
Another person who was shocked was Yanyue, who had newly joined the ranks of department heads of the Secretariat.
It took her a long time to confirm that this was not a drama deliberately concocted by Jinxia's senior management.
She had frequently come into contact with intelligence and letters from all over Shenzhou before, but she thought this was all because Jin Xia had established a huge intelligence network and thousands of people were rushing back and forth for this information every day.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to fall into shock in front of everyone, the straight eyes and the corners of her mouth still exposed the fluctuations in her heart.
Until Xue Qing patted her shoulder.
"It's okay, everyone comes here this way."
"I think everyone should have read the report in their hands." Xia Fan was the first to speak, "I'm sorry to call you here so late, but this matter is extraordinary and I need to hear everyone's thoughts."
"Master Xia, are you asking for our opinion?" Yan Yue whispered.
She is indeed Qingjian, but this is the first time she has officially "participated in politics" like this.
"Unlike the Privy Council, Jinxia's major affairs are not decided by Her Royal Highness the Princess or Xia Fan alone." Xue Qing taught the younger generation, "Even if they have ideas, the two of them will refer to everyone's opinions before making the final decision. You don't have to speak, but if there is a part that you need to be responsible for, you'd better tell the truth. If you can do it, say you can, if you can't, say you can't. Never accept everything at once. Here, you Failure to do so is not a mistake, concealment and falsehood are mistakes.”
"It's strange. I thought Qixing would concentrate its forces on us first." Over there, the army commander Xu Sanzhong was the first to answer, "In fact, I got an intelligence piece three days ago, saying that the Leizhou border has become restless again. . A small group of troops from Gao State crossed the valley many times and seemed to be conducting reconnaissance. The staff believes that this may be a sign that the other side's army is making moves."
"It is indeed a bit strange." Ning Wanjun nodded, "It is a taboo to divide the troops in vain. The seven stars attacked Yazhou before, obviously to open up the road to Gyeonggi. Fengguo and Gaoguo converged on the land and marched eastward. Xuguo , Mao State, and Qi State can form an encirclement on Jinxia if they advance westward by sea. Now Qixing suddenly attacks Xie Ma, and also uses a large number of sea ships, which does not seem to be a reasonable approach. "
"What if we made a mistake?" Chi boldly said.
"What's the meaning?"
"Think about it from another angle. From the beginning, they attacked Yazhou not to encircle Jinxia, but to find a springboard to Yama Island. Doesn't this make sense?" Chi crossed his arms over his chest and raised his head slightly. Chin, "After all, the Wei Dynasty did the same thing when they dealt with Penglai Island. In order to paralyze my ancestors, they often made disguises in the palace."
"What you said makes sense." Xu Sanchong came back to his senses, "They divided their troops in the capital, just to prevent us from going north?"
"Maybe it's a multi-faceted plan." He Guicai, the staff officer, folded his fan and said, "If Jinxia is weak and can be bullied, then we might as well capture it first. If it's hard to take it down for a while, then we will naturally switch to defense and continue to invade evil forces. Ma Island is the main target. This explains why they stationed troops in Yazhou and why they gave up halfway after encountering setbacks. "
Because the Seven Star Privy Council has been delayed for so long, it has no time to put more efforts into the game with Jinxia City.
This statement won the approval of the vast majority of people.
As the saying goes, plans can't change as fast as they do, and the Privy Council probably didn't expect that the princess, who was obviously at a disadvantage, would take the initiative and give them a head-on blow at sea.
The powerful naval combat capabilities of the tree boats and new weapons made the opponent realize that Jinxia City would not be easily conquered as long as it had the sea at its back.
"From this point of view, the changes in the Gao Kingdom's troops are likely to put pressure on us." Ning Wanjun said thoughtfully, "The question is what do they want to achieve to make Yama Island their primary target?"
Several eyes immediately fell on Yanyue.
The latter waved his hand quickly, "I know no more than you. When I was in the Privy Council, the other alchemists never talked to me about decision-making matters."
Xia Fan turned his attention to Sikong.
As the owner of the escape tower, she possesses extremely ancient and rich information. In addition, she has absorbed a lot of information from the times in recent weeks. She may be able to find some clues.
The latter rolled his eyes back at him.
I have to say that this guy's use of expressions is even better than before.
"Perhaps only the Seven Star Envoy knows the real answer." Xia Fan retracted his gaze, "Now Princess May is in trouble and urgently needs Jinxia's support, so our decision is crucial. There are only three choices, stand still, counterattack Shangyuan, and Sending troops is a bad idea. Standing still is the worst policy in my opinion."
"I think so too," interrupted the princess.
"Okay," Xia Fan changed his words, "That's what we think. As for the other two strategies, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you ask me what I think, I would prefer the last one."
He stood up and pointed the wooden whip in his hand to the northeast corner of the map on the wall, "That is to support the evil horse and fight against the Seven Star Privy Council head-on!"
"Going to sea?" Yan Yue couldn't help but whispered to Yan Qing, "This is obviously not a good idea, right? Not to mention that long-distance combat is a huge disadvantage. Is that island more important than Shangyuan City, the capital of Qi State? "
"If you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot." The latter encouraged, "Don't worry, no one will blame you at the meeting."
