"Excuse me, can you guarantee that you will do a better job than Modo Blackwater in place of your Excellency?"

"Bastard, are you going to duel me?"

"It's an honor to accept your invitation, you name a time and place, and I can accompany you at any time."

Seeing that the two goblin bosses were about to pinch up, the chief of the military department couldn't hold it back, he raised his hand and knocked twice on the table, and said:

"Enough! That's enough! Can't you spend your extra energy doing business? Is it time to be vindictive? ”

At this time, a goblin general next to him, who did not participate in this debate, leaned over and said:

"Your Excellency, the Battle of Dongning cannot end in such an inglorious way, those pirates must be hovering in the nearby waters, the military headquarters will send as many warships and air cavalry as possible to encircle them, we must defeat those who have no ... Hairy monkey, the empire can no longer tolerate defeat. ”

Although the successive defeats of the Goblin Navy will not hurt the Second Goblin Empire, this continuous record of defeat has dealt a great blow to the morale of the army, and the Navy has been defeated again, and this matter must be reasonably explained to the upper and lower levels. Even if according to some rumors, pushing Modo Blackwater out will not solve the fundamental problem, and the weight of the goblin commander as a scapegoat is too low, if you talk about digging deep into the root cause of the defeat problem, I am afraid that it will inevitably implicate many goblin bosses, and once the matter becomes bigger, it is easy to cause internal strife, so you can't act cautiously.

Immediately, the chief of the military department stood up, it propped up the table with both hands, and its sharp eyes swept over the faces of his subordinates with different expressions, and said loudly:

"Please do your best to make a battle plan, I will present it to His Majesty, and start acting as much as possible!"

Everything is always said lightly, and it is difficult to do, and the reason why those mouth-to-mouth parties are always correct is because they don't do anything, and they don't have to take responsibility if they don't make a difference.

“…… Mobilizing troops is not a problem, Your Majesty the Emperor, please forgive your subordinates for being rude. The Navy is going to defeat Will Needham that no. The hairy monkey is difficult, he is smoother than the pebbles in the stream, and we are not sure that we will complete the task. ”

After a few more days, the chief of the military department who made an oral report to the goblin emperor in the court meeting did not dare to say it to death, how many previous efforts failed to succeed, but it happened that this shot can be 100% sure, are you joking?

After rising to power in just a few years, replacing the dynastic lineage of human beings as the master of the main continent, the internal integration of the Second Empire, which started with a tribal alliance, was a mess of various historical grievances and entanglements in the distribution of practical interests, but it was rare for the nascent regime to deliberately lie and conceal the truth.

For a race like goblins, which has traditionally emphasized internal discipline and a concerted pace of action, there is nothing more unacceptable than irresponsible nonsense. It is not a big problem to compete for interests from their respective standpoints, or even to attack and accuse each other, and it does not matter if we avoid the important and trivialize when pursuing responsibility, and it is too much to talk nonsense with our eyes open. Once such a bad situation is perceived, no matter how high the status of the offender, it is against the will of the goblin race. It is light to hand over the power to the end, and it is handed over to the clan elders to dispose of the hair according to the ancient clan rules, or even used as a sacrifice for blood, which is undoubtedly a more tragic end of life than death.

The Goblin Emperor recalled the exiled human nobles who kept blocking him, and the ghostly prophecy that lingered, and said in a vicious tone:

“…… Try your best, don't worry about what the cost, and finish that damn guy for me! ”

"As you wish, His Majesty the Emperor."

Needless to say, Luo Zhengdao's brutal attack on Dongning head-on is comparable to a bear child who stabbed a hornet's nest with a bamboo pole, this is a new realm of death!

With the Second Goblin Empire, determined to find the field, mobilized a huge warplane, along the route of the Great River and several canals, countless goblin armies and warships gathered near Dongning day and night.

The Great River, with a total length of more than 9,000 miles, is one of the golden waterways on which the inland waterway shipping industry of the main continent has always depended, and with the convenience and low cost provided by water transportation, it is much easier to mobilize the troops and warships of the Great River Basin to participate in the battle than to travel across the ocean to crusade against the enclave islands in the Sea of Stars. When the incident reached this point, no one remembered what had happened in the countryside of the Sheen Lan River Delta, and all the participants and onlookers were now focused on the hot spot of the mouth of the river, and if nothing else, a battle of unprecedented scale was about to break out here.

Fighting with human exiles is undoubtedly a result that goblins are happy to see, even if ten goblin soldiers are exchanged for one human soldier, the Second Goblin Empire can consume Will Needham as a challenger alive.

For example, a thin and nimble teenager fights a heavyweight boxing champion, no matter how many times the former hits the latter, it is not an effective blow, and the latter can immediately knock out the opponent on the spot as long as he hits a heavy punch, so if the boy is smart enough, he should not give the boxing king a chance to attack him.

Luo Zhengdao didn't study in a military academy or served in the special forces, military knowledge or something, he knew a little bit, under the premise that his own strength was not good, it was more important to preserve the vitality than to be brave for a while, and he noticed that the goblins were ready to set himself up, so he began to make another idea.

The principle of the art of war of the ancestors of China is as simple as that, when the strength is not good, don't fight hard with the opponent, as long as the enemy has a soft underbelly, resolutely do not go to the hard bones. Although the goblins have far more cards in their hands than Luo Zhengdao, the problem is that they also have a lot of places to distract and preserve. As the party that currently has the initiative on the battlefield, Luo Zhengdao is willing to give the goblins some color to see, they are tired of preparing for war, it is really difficult to prevent them

"Hey, is your message accurate?"

"Well, absolutely reliable. The Greenskins are gathering supplies and sending fleets from all over the world to encircle us. ”

Zola Hegel is a well-connected earth snake, and his pirate career in the stars and seas for many years has allowed him to accumulate a large number of intelligence sources, although Luo Zhengdao thinks that the goblins will not move so fast, but the boatswain's words, he also has to believe it.

For example, the Mongol cavalry of the old world could break away from the area controlled by one, and one man and three horses would ride in turn, and the soldiers would rely on drinking mare's milk to replenish their bodies, and they would run hundreds of kilometers long distances and penetrate directly into the rear of the enemy's battle line. If you change to a mechanized era of troops, no matter how elite and powerful the army is, if you cut off the logistics supply, you will immediately have to lie down, and even if you have great ability, you don't want to make those iron guys who have no oil move. However, this kind of mechanized army, which is highly dependent on a well-developed logistics system, is not comparable to the combat power of traditional armies, and can easily annihilate tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry with only a few hundred men.

In fact, when it comes to breaking 20,000 cavalry or something, there is no need for 300 Apaches, and the extreme strength and extreme fragility of the weapon system are also incompatible truths, which may be the result of some unknown law balancing.

After a head-on battle in the offensive and defensive battle of Dongning not long ago, as long as the goblin generals are not blind, or do not have a good habit of opening their eyes and talking nonsense, they can naturally see how lethal the ironclad ship that fires blasting ammunition is to the wooden sail warship, which can almost be called unilateral crushing.

In order to encircle and annihilate the main forces of the human race, and even to kill Will Needham, the goblins must mobilize as many ironclad ships as possible to cooperate with the fast and easy to maneuver on the battlefield.

The truth is that the key is that these two arms are not easy to serve, and the ironclad ship is needless to say, it lacks rocket fuel and explosions. The supply of ammunition, these steel behemoths are no different from tigers with teeth extracted, although the goblin air cavalry does not have high requirements for weapons and equipment, and the quantity and quality of material supplies are also quite harsh. It's okay to use air cavalry on a large scale, don't expect flying monsters to be obedient without establishing a stable supply channel of fresh meat, they don't have the hard-working spirit of goblin soldiers, and they can wade through mountains and rivers to fight when hungry.

The air cavalry, known for its superior mobility, is much faster than ironclad ships, even if it is necessary to stop and rest at regular intervals to allow the mount to recover and eat, do not forget that the air force takes the shortest straight path, unlike warships that sail and have to avoid shoals and reefs.

In order to feed those carnivorous monsters with a large appetite, the goblin logistics officers on the front line of the battlefield had to start transporting and stockpiling meat a few days in advance, to be precise, they were transporting live livestock to the front line for backup, which was the most economical solution in the era when there was no cheap freezing and preservation technology. This large-scale supply plan involved thousands of goblin air cavalry, and the pressure on field supply was unimaginable, which can be called a nightmare for logistics departments.

The ancient Chinese in the old world summed up a set of practical laws, and the cruelty of using soldiers is better than fire and water, and the poison of soldiers is better than starvation. Everyone knows that hunger is an equally terrible enemy, and it is not uncommon for a million-strong army to start killing each other without a long delay of not too long, not ten days or eight days.

Not ready to wait for the goblins to come to the door before making a move, Luo Zhengdao sent several groups of reconnaissance planes and sharp soldiers to go out to collect intelligence information, and the strengthened goblin ironclad ship force had no loopholes to drill, so he shifted his main energy to how to cut off the supply of goblin air cavalry. Even if the plan to attack the enemy's weak points is not successful, it will more or less involve the energy of the goblins who are fully prepared for battle, and compete with the enemy at a time and battlefield environment of their own choosing, which is a key element in gaining the initiative.

"What, how many more suspicious locations are there?"

After listening to the latest reconnaissance report, he immediately leaned over and carefully looked at the dozens of hollow red circles on the map, and these suspected targets whose authenticity was difficult to distinguish made Luo Zhengdao's brows twisted.

The sophisticated and calm goblin Second Empire was well aware of the importance of securing its own supply lines, and deliberately camouflaged and tightly sealed key areas, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the false by relying solely on the reconnaissance activities of intelligence personnel from the periphery.

Knowing that he had failed to live up to his responsibilities, the Scout Captain said with a look of frustration:

"Yes, Your Highness. There are a lot of goblin air cavalry patrolling near the target, and the reconnaissance planes do not dare to approach, and the situation is the same on the ground, there is a team of goblin wolf cavalry less than five hundred yards apart, and we cannot eliminate false targets at a long distance. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded and said:

"Can you get on makeup to get close to the target from the ground to reconnoitre?"

"There is a difficulty, after the goblins moved to the forbidden sea, as long as humans appear in the coastal areas, the goblin army will kill them when they see it, and recently they have not even let go of other races."
