Chapter 574: The Panicked Blue Star Nation
In order to cope with the possible southern invasion after the reunification of the Great Heng people, in addition to building a large naval force, the Olisa people are also preparing to increase the size of the first-line standing force from 300,000 to 500,000, and expand the scale of the second-line garrison force, requiring that in the early stage of the war, after emergency mobilization, at least one million troops can be mobilized, and at the same time a three-line reserve system is constructed in order to continue to expand the army during the war.
In the face of the invasion of the Great Heng, it is best to be able to defeat them at sea while maintaining an army force that cannot be small in size to control the Kingdom of Tanor as well as the Kingdom of Kassi, which is to control the Endless Strait.
If you want to resist the invasion of the Great Heng people, you must defend the Endless Strait, otherwise, the Great Heng people will be able to directly cross the Endless Strait at the narrowest point, which is only more than 30 kilometers, as in the last war of resistance against Heng, and finally land on the northern territory of Orissa.
At that time, you will face the endless huge army force of the Great Heng people!
If you want to prevent the Great Heng people from landing on the northern mainland, you have to hold the Endless Strait, which is the lesson and experience they gained in the last war against Heng!
This is why they sent a large number of troops to the Kingdom of Dynor and the Kingdom of Kassi, hoping that if war broke out, the people of Daheng would be directly blocked in the areas north of the Karlo Mountains and the Tropical Rainforest, and not even to the southern part of the Kingdom of Dynaudio, the plains along the Endless Strait.
In addition to expanding the army, the Orissa Empire is also keeping pace with the times and improving its equipment level, and their arsenal has begun to produce large-scale imitation of breech-loading rifled guns, and at the same time, the current smoothbore guns have been converted into large-caliber breech-loading rifled guns.
The full breeching of rifles, which is already something they are doing, and it will be completed soon, and the full breeching of artillery is estimated to not be long.
Everything the Orissa Empire is doing now is to prevent Daheng from going south to invade them after the unification.
Even many generals of the Orissa Empire are already considering whether to strike first, such as directly sending a large army through the Kingdom of Tana to kill Ningyu Prefecture, or directly landing in Nanhai Prefecture on a large scale.
But they're just thinking about it, not just doing it.
After all, the fact that the people of Daheng dared to launch a large-scale crossing-sea journey to the south more than fifty years ago does not mean that the Olisa people also dared to cross the sea to the north on a large scale!
In any case, it is unlikely that the Olisa people would directly send hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops to a labor expedition just because the Great Heng Empire was about to be reunited, and even if they were dispatched, they would not be able to maintain logistics over such a long distance.
As for the small number of troops dispatched, it is useless at all, if only tens of thousands of people are sent to land, they will be swallowed directly by the Daheng people.
It doesn't work to send fewer troops, and they can't do it if they have more, or they don't have the courage to gamble!
Only those madmen of the Daheng people will launch a cross-sea landing operation of hundreds of thousands of people, just to control the endless strait and seize some territory, they will directly press the national fortunes of the entire country to gamble!
The people of Olisa are not the madmen of the Great Heng!
Many Olisa people still believe that although the barbarian Daheng people in the north are about to be unified, as long as they take defensive measures and maintain a strong navy and army force, it will be enough to dispel the southward invasion of those barbarian Daheng people, so as to protect the security of the empire.
This also shows that most of the Olisa people and even people from other countries still don't know enough about the Great Heng people, or in fact, they know the Great Heng people, but they are just unwilling to sacrifice their own short-term interests.
In the face of the imminent unification of Daheng, the Olisa Empire in the south, the Six-Power Alliance in the north, and even the powerful countries of other continents, there is actually only one wisest choice: that is, to unite to attack Daheng, obstruct the unification of Daheng people, or even completely split Daheng into many different countries!
In fact, many people know this rational choice, but knowing it does not mean that it can be done.
Knowing the right thing doesn't necessarily mean being able to do the right thing, that's the reality!
So they chose a compromise that they could accept, and the alliance of the six northern countries began to strengthen the defense line of the West Sea Corridor, and built a large number of trenches and fortresses for the era of breech-loading rifled weapons, and as for the original fortress defense line, it has been directly abandoned.
They hoped to rely on the defense line of the West Sea Corridor to keep the Daheng people out, just like they had for more than a hundred years before.
Over the past hundred years, the Great Heng people have tried many times to seize the Western Sea Corridor in order to completely conquer the Northern Six Nations Alliance, but in the end they have all fallen under the defense line of the Western Sea Corridor.
The Olisa people in the south tried to move the battle line forward to the Karlo Mountains and the tropical rainforest, using these complex terrain to drag the Great Heng people, and at the same time building a strong sea force to hold the endless strait to avoid the direct landing of the Great Heng people.
As for the rest of the southern continent, as they did more than fifty years ago, they are still watching the theater.
More than fifty years ago, they also watched dramas in the early stage, and began to support the Orissa Empire in the middle and late stages, and after the war, they fought a wave of the Orissa Empire and seized a lot of benefits.
Now, I guess they want to do it again.
And the countries on the other three continents, small and medium-sized countries are not worth mentioning, they simply do not have enough strength to affect the situation in the central continent or the southern continent, and those first-class powers, no one can afford to go to Daheng, thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers away, for the sake of the life and death of the six countries of the Northern Alliance or the Orissa Empire, and fight with the people of Daheng, this is not nonsense!
As for the threat of the Daheng people, although there is a threat, no matter how strong the Daheng people are, it is impossible to cross the sea distance of thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers to launch a large-scale cross-sea landing operation against them.
So countries on other continents are also watching the show, and if they can get some benefits in the process, they will get some benefits, and if they can't, it doesn't matter.
Even the powerful countries on other continents actually hope that the Great Heng people will invade the Olisa Empire again, so that they can continue to support the Olisa Empire to resist the Great Heng people.
As long as the war drags on for a few years, the people of Daheng themselves will be finished.
It's just like the Hengao War more than fifty years ago!
The Great Heng people themselves played themselves to death, and the Olisa Empire was also greatly damaged, but other countries were all benefited.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, the outbreak of the second Heng Olympic War is more in their interests.
Lin Ziran also understands these situations abroad, after all, the expansion of the Olisa Empire is not sneaky, it is carried out openly, and he even wants to tell every Daheng person: We are very strong now, don't come to fight us again!
Lin Ziran also knows that public opinion is very radical, and in response to this radical public opinion, Lin Ziran actually made more reassurance.
Although there are practical preparations, such as the design and construction of the unified armored ship, the development and preparation of more advanced army weapons and equipment, and so on.
But you can do these things, but you can't talk about them everywhere.
Now that the unification is not unified, it is shouting and going south to the Olisa Empire again, except for making foreign countries more wary of Daheng, there is no benefit.
