But while Yanyue was still hesitating, someone had already spoken faster than her.
He Guicai stood up and said, "But the threat from Leizhou's border is also real. If we separate our forces on Xima Island, I'm worried that Ganzhou's defense force will be empty. And if it can be determined that the main target of the Qixing Privy Council's attack is Xima Island, , we can take the opportunity to capture Shangyuan and completely expel the enemy's power from Qi State, which is also a crucial matter for His Highness."
By the end of the sentence, there was a hint of enthusiasm in his tone.
Most of the people here still follow an ancient tradition.
Although Jinxia City has developed extremely rapidly and the entire Shenzhou has become more prosperous, they always feel that something is missing.
As long as she does not take over Shangyuan for a day, Princess Guangping will always be a princess.
Only on the day when Ning Wanjun sets foot in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and truly ascends the throne, can everyone truly transform from rebels to dragons, and can they legitimately enjoy the huge benefits brought by this achievement.
Although the Secretariat had set the tone and was not in a hurry to expand its sphere of influence, when the opportunity came to quickly unify Qi Country, He Guicai and others were still unwilling to miss the opportunity.
"Xu Sanzhong, if I give you 20,000 people and prevent the enemy from setting foot on Leizhou, can you do it?" Ning Wanjun looked at her commander.
Nowadays, Jinxia's army is expanding rapidly and has successively recruited more than 30,000 new soldiers from Shenzhou. Together with the original main force, the scale has reached as many as 50,000. These 50,000 were not the common false claims in the past camps, but actual combatable troops. If it were placed at the court, including all the logistics and supply personnel, it would be normal to boast that it would be an army of 200,000.
According to Xia Fan's proposal, the army was divided into three divisions and a reserve force. Each division has 10,000 people under its command, which is a standard old-to-new model. The 20,000 people in the reserve force are "rookies" who have just joined the team. They are centralized in the camp on the northern outskirts of Jinxia City for training. It usually takes two to three months to enter the combat force and become a real soldier.
Twenty thousand people are equivalent to two main divisions, equipped with several artillery battalions and Xuanwu battalions, which is already a quite powerful force.
Considering that the reserve troops can only be stationed in Shenzhou, and only one division is left for the princess to dispatch, this undoubtedly leaves most of Jin Xia's power in the hands of her subordinates.
Xu Sanzhong immediately stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "We may not be able to do it!"
"Your Highness"
Staff Officer He wanted to persuade him again, but Ning Wanjun had already interrupted him, "What is Evil Horse? It is our tributary state. At that time, Wuyue Yao and I signed an agreement at Fengyang Villa, and she expressed her loyalty to me, and I provided help and shelter to the best of my ability. At that time, Jinxia's power was still weak and could not go to the other side of the sea to confront the Dongsheng princes, so we could only provide salt and weapons. Now we have a powerful army, Yama The country is in crisis again, what reason does Jin Xia have for not helping!?"
At this point, she clapped her hands on the table, "It is true that Wuyue Yao's plans and actions were not informed to Jinxia City in advance, but this is not a reason for us to shirk the blame. If we refuse this request for help, will the other allies think that we Will we refuse a second or third time? Even if we can take advantage of the opportunity to capture Shangyuan City, we have lost our righteousness. Do you think it is a mere Shangyuan City that is more important, or righteousness and commitment that are more important?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly became different.
The reason why Ning Wanjun stood out from the army was because of her simple faith and her personal charm of not putting her own interests above others. Everyone was willing to be loyal to her because of this.
Especially the people in the military, everyone is full of enthusiasm.
Damn Shangyuan City!
How can a capital city compare with the reputation of a princess? No matter what, they cannot let the corners of their wings become dusty.
Staff Officer He could only show a wry smile, but there was some touch and emotion in his eyes. After all, he was also a member of the border army who was attracted.
Only Si Control was not affected by the atmosphere. She glanced at Xia Fan, her expression full of confusion about human disputes.
Xia Fan could only shrug at her.
He has more considerations than Ning Wanjun. In addition to the evil horse country being Jin Xia's ally, the movements of the Seven Star Privy Council are also very questionable. Although the opponent's purpose is not yet clear, as long as it is what the enemy wants to do, blocking it is not a bad thing. What's more, after Qixing captured Yama Island, there was an unsinkable Endless Sea port, which was by no means good news for Jin Xia. Therefore, Xia Fan was more inclined to take the initiative and intercept Qixing midway.
Ning Wanjun's speech convinced most of the participants.
Soon, the strategy of traveling thousands of miles to rescue Yama Island became the consensus of the top management. Once you have your goals, the next step is to make a plan.
The most suitable vessel for transportation is undoubtedly the tree boat.
Just one tree boat can carry more than 100,000 people, so it is not a problem to transport troops and supplies to Yama in one go. However, because the tree boat is also the main fishing tool and is responsible for the food supply of Shenzhou, it cannot stay overseas for a long time. When the army lands on Evil Horse, Shuzhou will retreat to Jinxia Harbor.
Fortunately, the two parties can contact each other at any time using the audio device, so this is not a big problem.
Secondly, the construction of the Jinxia Navy has begun to bear fruit. In addition to the flagship Baisha, the other three captured warships have also been put into the battlefield. After being modified, these four gunboats can all fire electromagnetic guns. Although they may not be large in size, their firepower is no less fierce than that of a full Natatin main fleet. They can undertake the task of landing cover without any problem.
Considering that the opponent is the Seven-Star Privy Council, high-level alchemists are also indispensable combat power.
Especially the Tsing Yi alchemist mentioned by Wuyue Yao in the communication. After detailed analysis, Qian and Yan Qing believed that he was very likely to be one of the Seven Star Envoys, and they were initially identified as the Kaiyang Envoy of Feng Kingdom. In past cooperation, they had heard that Kaiyang Envoys were invulnerable and were Qi sensers with extremely strong combat capabilities. Faced with such a tough opponent, only by working together can Qian and others be sure not to fall behind.
After determining the scale of support, the last step is to select a landing location.
After some discussion among everyone, the landing place of the tree boat was finally determined to be Tsushima Prefecture, southwest of Yama. Although it is the main station of Dongsheng Navy and can be called a fortress-like port town, it is precisely because of this that once it is captured, it can relieve the worries of logistical support. Next, whether it is to attack Fumifu northward or to fight eastward with Wu. The convergence of Yueyao's troops is a feasible option.
Six hours later, at the break of dawn, the news traveled across the sea via radio waves and reached the Kingdom of Evil Horse.
The operation was named "Overlord".
Jinxia's reinforcement division will set off for the island in three days.
