Chapter 208: Pre-War Meeting
Just as the Fog Hide's forces successfully attacked and gained a foothold on the beach, they prepared to attack the coastal cities of the Fire Nation in a big way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoKonoha far inland is still completely unknown......
The first thing the three Hokages did after returning to Konoha Village was to inform the various outposts and towns on the border of the Fire Nation to strengthen the border and wait for reinforcements. Several carrier pigeons were released and flew towards the border of the Quartet......
Next, Sun Moon and Mizuto are responsible for informing the whole village of the news of the Great Ninja War. The third generation went to report to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
In the conference room of the Fire Nation Capital, a group of Fire Nation ministers stood on a high platform, looking down at the three generations of Hokage standing on the platform directly below.
"So, the land of water, the country of wind, and the country of thunder will declare war on us at the same time?" asked the Daimyo of the Land of Fire behind the curtain.
"Yes, we can only be forced to fight!" the third Hokage nodded.
"Hokage, are you sure you will win this time?" asked one of the Daimyo's ministers.
"Konoha will do his ......best," Miyo said.
"Hmph! This time, several events have triggered a ninja war, all of which have something to do with Konoha......" A minister asked Miyo.
"Konoha's duty is to protect the Fire Nation from invasion, and the Fire Nation has always protected Konoha! Hokage, don't let us down...... Otherwise, Konoha will disappear from this world...... There are a lot of ninja villages, but they have been hoping that the land of fire will support them!!" The other minister's tone was faintly threatening.
"With all due respect, the Fire Nation has always supported Konoha, and Konoha has always protected the Fire Nation! Konoha's power is the power of the Fire Nation! If Konoha is defeated, do you think the Fire Nation can continue to sit at the head of the five powers?" said the three generations with a tough attitude, and the Fire Nation and Konoha are both prosperous and lossy. He wasn't in the mood to argue with these ministers right now.
"Three generations of Hokage! you!" Several ministers were unhappy, but they didn't dare to accuse the three generations.
As a member of the Fire Country, Konoha can show respect to them, but if the people of the Fire Country don't know what to do, then Konoha can also make everyone here disappear. Do you want to threaten to replace Konoha? Believe it or not, Konoha replaced you first? Don't look at who controls the combat power of the entire country!
The three generations no longer paid attention to the others, and bowed directly to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire: "Daimyo, please continue to support Konoha!"
"Smack!" The Daimyo put away the folding fan with his hand, grasped it, and said, "I understand! I support your decision! The Land of Fire declares war on the Three Kingdoms of Wind, Thunder, and Water! The Land of Fire will always have absolute trust in Konoha and will do everything in its power to support Konoha." I hope everyone can work together to overcome this difficulty! The war will be up to Konoha, the three generations of Hokage!"
The daimyo spoke, and the dust settled. The other ministers next to him also expressed their obedience to the Daimyo's decision.
"Yes!" the three generations nodded respectfully, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, Konoha is busy with military affairs, I will leave first!"
Before the words fell, the three generations turned around and left the venue.
……
Everyone in Konoha already knew that the ninja war had begun, and although they didn't want to believe it in their hearts, they were ninjas, so they accepted this fact at the first time. Now what they have to do is to actively plan a response, and then defeat the enemy and do their best to win this war!
In the conference room of the Hokage Building, Konoha's pre-war meeting was going on intensely. The meeting had been going on for hours before the three generations of Hokage returned. Except for the three generations, all the high-level leaders of Konoha have already been present, and many people have spoken, and everyone's views on the situation are not optimistic.
As soon as the three generations entered the venue, the venue was quiet, and the backbone of Konoha returned, and everyone looked at the three generations of Hokage together.
The three generations said bluntly: "Everyone should know the current situation, the third ninja world war has begun, and the three kingdoms have joined forces to besiege us. Now, I need a strategy to retreat!"
The crowd began to analyze the situation and put forward their opinions.
Mito Menyan got up and said: "The financial, manpower, and material resources of the three major countries of wind, thunder, and water together are more than double that of the country of fire, and our side has no advantage in logistics and material support! The combat power of each ninja village is not much weaker than that of Konoha, and the total strength of the three ninja villages combined is several times greater than that of Konoha! The enemy is divided into three directions to attack, and Konoha's forces are scattered, and the enemy is on the back of the enemy, and it is difficult to take care of the head and tail, I am afraid that we will not be able to support it for long! Even if we can withstand the enemy's offensive momentum at first, if the battle drags on for a long time, we will be consumed and lose the war!"
On the side, Koharu added: "In addition to the three hostile ninja villages, although Iwakuin remains neutral, once we can't support it, Iwakuin will inevitably join the war!
The third generation nodded: "Our disadvantage is obvious, I know this." But you can't lose confidence just because the enemy is strong, that's not the ninja style!"
Everyone present remained silent, helpless in the face of such a situation. "Konoha is likely to lose!" This sentence has been written on the faces of most of the shinobi, and everyone has no confidence.
Konoha and the other masters saw all this in their eyes, and Orochimaru shook his head with disdain. Jiraiya held his chin with one hand, looking unhappy. Tsunade pursed his lips, a little anxious in his heart.
At this time, Sun and Moon gave Lu Jiu a look, and Lu Jiu yawned and nodded. He and Sun and Moon discussed it for a long time before they decided on this strategy.
"Master, I have something to say!" Sun Moon raised his hand and stood up.
"Sun and Moon, what do you suggest?" asked the third generation, and everyone's eyes were focused on Sun and Moon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think: Konoha has an advantage over the enemy. In the third ninja war, Konoha will win! And it won't be a miserable victory, but a big victory!"
Everyone was stunned, and everyone felt that now we should think more about how to do it so as not to lose, rather than how to win. But Sun Moon said wildly, saying that Konoha will win, and it will be a complete victory! Where did he get the confidence? (BGM: 戦国の夜明け, Takanashi Koji)
"Everyone, please listen to me slowly. War is not a simple addition and subtraction. If it weren't for the fact that you have more people than me, your overall combat strength is stronger than ours, and you have more materials hoarded in the rear, you will definitely win. ”
"In terms of strength on paper, Konoha is indeed at an absolute disadvantage, but Konoha is not so weak that he has lost the ability to fight back! In the face of the enemies of the three great powers, I, Konoha, still have many advantages, and these advantages will determine the outcome of this ninja war, and I, Konoha will win!"
"First, Sand Hide, Fog Hide, and Thunder Shadow, they didn't form a coalition, but chose to fight their own. Their troops lack unified command and dispatch, and they also lack the exchange and aggregation of intelligence, and the result of this is a delay in the fighters! On the other hand, on our side, the Konoha ninja are united, the command is unified, and the intelligence system is perfect. In this aspect alone, Konoha has already won a bit!"
"Second, the enemies of the three sides have their own plans and different thoughts, and each side wants the other party to carry Konoha and reap the benefits of the fisherman himself. This mentality of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is a taboo for soldiers! The enemy is very likely to lose a great opportunity for the sake of a small profit. For example, Yun Yin, they were pinned down by Yan Yin, and they just wanted to take advantage, so they naturally wouldn't do their best to attack. And we can take advantage of their delicate relationship with each other to contain the enemy!"
"Third, once the enemy's troops invade the territory of the Fire Country, it will inevitably be difficult to resupply! The supply line of the Sand Hidden will have to pass through the vast desert, the supply fleet of the Fog Yin will have to cross a sea, the convoy of the Cloud Hidden will have to cross the high mountains, and the convoy of the Iwain will have to pass through the hundred miles of hills lined with rocks and rugged roads! On the other hand, the roads of our Fire Country will extend in all directions, and the supply is extremely convenient. There are also large forests as natural defensive barriers! If there is a problem with the enemy's rear supply, Konoha will have a chance to win!"
"Fourth, the other side is divided into three routes, and the forces cannot be concentrated. Any of them has no absolute superiority in the face of Konoha at all! On the other hand, Konoha has a stronger personal strength than any ninja village! With the same number of troops, our Konoha combat effectiveness is the strongest! Not to mention that Konoha has more top powerhouses than the enemy. As long as we concentrate our own forces, our local superiority will be very obvious! Therefore, in the face of an attack by the enemy from multiple directions, we must concentrate our superior forces and use the main force to break through each of the enemy!
"Even if the enemy is strong and numerous, what is there to fear? It will be us Konoha who will win the final victory!!"
In fact, there is a fifth point, that is, after listening to the words of the sun and the moon, everyone will be encouraged and motivated, and will have the confidence to win, and will strengthen their beliefs. As long as there is hope, confidence, and unity, can the impossible be turned into possible, and Konoha can really have the possibility of victory!
At this moment, everyone's eyes changed, and the belief in victory was ignited, which is the charm of hope and self-confidence!
Miyo nodded, this is the effect he wants. Sannin and White Fang laughed but didn't say anything, Sun and Yue, this kid analyzed well, and these words inspired everyone and stabilized the morale of the army!
Tuan Zang looked at Sun and Moon with admiration and asked, "So, what exactly should be done? What kind of strategy should be formulated, and how should personnel be distributed?"
Riyue looked at Lu Jiu with a smile, and raised his hand to make a gesture of "please": "In terms of strategy, Nara Lu Jiu is an expert. He has developed a more detailed strategy, and we invite him to speak!"
Lu Jiu glanced at Sun and Moon with some unhappiness, then stood up and began to speak: "The enemy is attacking from three sides, I plan to adopt a defensive strategy first, try to lure the enemy deeper, and wait for the opportunity." When the enemy's offensive is blocked and the battle line is stretched, it is likely that a flaw will be revealed. We will seize the opportunity and concentrate our forces to annihilate all the way! As long as we defeat the road, will the remaining enemies still be unable to deal with it? Do we still need to worry?"
Everyone in the conference room nodded, as long as they could kill the enemy on one side, the situation would be completely different!
Lu Jiu began to make specific strategic plans: "On the Sand Hidden side, we plan to allocate a small number of defensive troops to let Sand Yin cross the desert and attack the Kawano Country, we have enough strategic depth to use the long front to hold them down!
"Sha Yin is good at using poison, and it is the best choice for Tsunade to be in command......" Lu Jiu looked at Tsunade who was already pregnant, and Tsunade looked at Lu Jiu expectantly, for the sake of her grandfather's village, she really wanted to go to the battlefield.
Lu Jiu coughed and continued: "Ahem...... However, now that Tsunade-sama is pregnant, it is inconvenient for me to go to the front line to command the troops in person, so I recommend Orochimaru-sama as the commander! With Orochimaru-sama here, there is no need to worry about it!"
Saying that, Lu Jiu nodded at Orochimaru, who smiled slightly. Tsunade looked depressed, if it weren't for Kato next to him, Tsunade would have rushed up to reason with Shikaku.
Shikaku continued: "In the face of the fog, we can use the defense line on the eastern coast to resist the attack of the fog. Even if the Fog Hidden requisitioned the sea ships of the Water Country, the landing operations they could launch would be limited, and the scale would not exceed 10,000 men, and our eastern defense line would be able to withstand such an attack. As long as this coastal defense line is stable, no matter how powerful the fog is, it will be useless for their large army to not be able to land on land!"
"So, I'm going to ask Jiraiya-sama to help, his psychic beast is very suitable for water warfare. In addition, most of the ninjas of the Hyuga family will also be assigned to the line of Fog Hide, which will be used to restrain the enemy's [Fog Concealment Technique] and [Silent Assassination]! And the Oil Girl Clan will have a miraculous effect against Fog Hide's ships! Only 3,000 ninjas are needed to defend the coastal defense!"
"The Hyuga family will fully support it, and I will personally lead the clansmen to the front line!" The old master of the Hyuga family immediately stated that the situation could not tolerate the slightest sloppiness, even the Hyuga family must go out!
Lu Jiu nodded to the old master in respect, and continued to distribute: "Yun Yin is restrained by Yan Yin, they don't dare to attack with all their strength, let alone let their rear be empty! As long as our troops put on a posture of going to a decisive battle at the beginning, Yun Yin, who wants to take advantage of the fisherman, will definitely not want to fight hard with Konoha and will choose to retreat! And if we put on a posture of luring the enemy into going deeper, Yun Yin will not risk the loss of troops to attack deeply. In this way, with a small number of troops, we can bring Yunyin's offensive to a standstill. ”
"Of course, if Yun Yin is determined to fight hard, we will rely on the dense forest to keep blocking the other party and delay as much time as possible. Then secretly provide information to Iwain, prompting Iwain to attack Yunyin's rear! In this case, Yunyin Village has a strong combat power, and it can't be exerted! To deal with Yunyin, I recommend Bo Feng Shuimen, Hinata Sun and Moon to be in charge, plus our three pigs, deer and butterflies to assist. A small number of Konoha troops are enough to deal with Yun Yin!"
Mizuto glanced at Kushina beside him, and then nodded to Lu Jiu. Yun Yin still has an unsettled account for Watergate! Watergate is very happy to fight with Yunyin!
