The kingdom of Addud, the royal capital of the city of Dilo.

Royal Palace, Imperial Military Council.

"The outer kingdoms have all fallen, the first line of defense has collapsed, our second line of defense is exposed in front of the Legion of Light, and it won't be long before the second line of defense will be attacked by the Legion of Light. ”

"Your Excellency, should we send troops in a big way to support the 12 neighboring countries on the second line of defense? These neighbors are asking us for help and begging for our support!"

"Didn't you already send 200,000 elite soldiers last month? and ask for help so quickly?" the first general wondered.

"It's not enough, the army of the Holy See of Light has 10 million, and we have to send at least a million elite soldiers to barely be enough. ”

"But the regular army that the kingdom can use is only two million people, and half of it is withdrawn, isn't the garrison in the kingdom insufficient?"

"Isn't there still 6 million second-line military forces?"

"Most of these forces are workers and farmers, who are poorly trained and undisciplined, and are not able to take on big responsibilities. Earl Theon, who was in charge of training, shook his head.

"Then it's better to send these second-line troops over, and all the elite soldiers stay in the country. ”

"This is even worse! The second line of defense will not last long, and the troops sent will only be cannon fodder to send them to death. Another minister shook his head.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?" said an old earl with a frown.

"Your Majesty!"

General Climans, who was in charge of the kingdom's military, bowed to the top half and said, "Since we have already set a strategy to ensure that the war does not break out in the Kingdom of Adudes, not to spread the flames of war to the Kingdom, and to fight an external war with small losses as much as possible, we ......"

He arched his hand and said, "We still have to send another batch of reinforcements." ”

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "General Klimances is right, so let's send another 300,000 elite troops, as well as 500,000 second-line legions, a total of one million troops, to support the 12 neighboring countries on the second line of defense!"

"Even, if possible, it's best for us to be on the second line of defense, and then block the Legion of Light and keep the enemy out of the country!"

There are internal and external lines in war, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of fighting an internal war are that the supply line is short, it is easy to obtain supplies, it can mobilize more sufficient resources, and it has the advantage of being familiar with the geographical advantage.

The disadvantage is that the war will cause great damage to one's own infrastructure and war potential, and may bring about painful property and human losses, which is equivalent to jackals, tigers and leopards entering their own homes.

The advantages and disadvantages of fighting an external war are the opposite of a war on the internal front, which is that it is not easy to replenish, it is not very familiar with the geographical advantages, and it has few resources that can be mobilized; the advantage is that it will cause less damage to its own personnel and property, and it will not seriously damage its war potential!

There is no doubt that, considering the tremendous destructive power of war, the high-level decision-makers of any country certainly want to fight an external war, so that the war can be kept away from the homeland, so that the people of the country can live and work in peace and contentment, and the damage of the war to the country will be reduced!

Of course, Zhou Ming also wanted to keep the enemy out of the country, but he ......

The Kingdom of Addud only has about 2 million regular troops, and there is no problem in defending its borders, but if it goes to support 12 neighboring countries, even if it supports an average of 50,000 elite soldiers for each neighboring country, multiplied by 12, it will send 600,000 elite soldiers, and take out 30% of the family base.

This has brought huge logistical pressure, not to mention, each neighboring country is only 50,000 horses, facing ten times or twenty times the number of the Legion of Light, if you want to block this offensive, it is undoubtedly a matter of luck and probability, and the odds of victory are not very high.

It is also easy to bring confusion in command and all kinds of anxious problems.

The most important thing is that on the defensive line with a defensive position of more than 20,000 li, sprinkled with 600,000 elite troops, it is impossible to form an airtight defensive network...... No matter how strong the firearms regiment of the Aduid Kingdom was, it could not be completely defended.

If you want to fight an external war and keep the enemy out of the country, unless you take out all your hole cards and use a huge army close to the Legion of Light, you can have a head-to-head battle with the Legion of Light on the second line of defense!

It's just that......

The defense of the native Addud Kingdom is empty, and once there is a mistake in a certain direction or it cannot be resisted, let the captain of a certain branch of the Bright Legion drive straight in and attack the territory of the Addud Kingdom......

The consequences are unimaginable.

So what should Zhou Ming do?

What strategy should the Kingdom of Adud adopt to deal with this war?

After some discussion.

Zhou Ming and the others formulated a combat plan that took into account the external combat and was safe and secure.

That is, the Great Wall of the Border + the Fortress of the Neighboring Country.

On the border of the Kingdom of Adude, build a tall Great Wall with a total length of more than 10,000 miles, allocate 70% of the troops and 50% of the resources, and build a Great Wall that is "impossible" to be breached.

Among the 12 neighboring countries around the Kingdom of Adustus, in 186 important passes and battles, 186 giant defensive fortresses were built, 30% of the troops and 50% of the resources were allocated, and they became "nails" one by one.

The 12 neighboring countries that form the second line of defense also have some armies, ranging from 58,000 to 1020,000...... In total, there were about a million regular troops.

After recruiting a large number of strong farmers and mobilizing them with all their might, the 12 neighboring kingdoms can gather a defense force of 3 million people...... Of course, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of these three million people must be average, but after equipping them with 100% firearms, it should not be a big problem to resist the 3 million Bright Legion in a ratio of 1 to 1.

Plus 186 fortresses within these kingdoms, and an army of nearly 2 million men of the Kingdom of Aduth......

The most conservative estimate is that there is not the slightest problem in blocking the five million Legion of Light!

In addition, in the offensive and defensive war of the second line of defense, Zhou Ming completely let go of the use of strategic weapons.

In other words, in the next war, the few secret weapons secretly developed by the military industrial system of the Kingdom of Adudus, after nearly a year of mass production, can finally be put on the battlefield and show their ferocious fangs.

A huge surprise for the Legion of Light!

And hearing this, the nobles and ministers who participated in the imperial meeting were all shocked!

The few nobles who knew about the situation of strategic weapons were even more ecstatic and applauded loudly one by one!

"Our strategic weapons can finally be used!"

"Isn't it great if there are too many people? If there are too many people, you want to do whatever you want? With these strategic weapons, I'm not afraid that you will have too many people in the Bright Legion!"

"That's good!

"In the face of these new weapons, how can the faith of those fanatical believers of the Holy See be religious?

"I heard that our strategic weapons production is enough to equip one million people, that's good, very good! With these weapons, even the god of light has come to me, and I am no longer afraid! Hmph, God, it is God that I killed with one shot!"

"Steady, after making all the arrangements and preparations, we just need to sit and wait for the news of victory, if the situation is more optimistic, maybe on the second line of defense, we can completely annihilate the Legion ......of Light!"

The nobleman's eyes shot a gleam and said: "We are justice, we are light, we are the rules, we are ...... It's God!"
