Chapter 377: A Small Request
"You've changed a lot."
"People live and change with the environment."
Xue Yuanzheng walked over with two cups of coffee, looking like he didn't plan to let Bai Zhizhan go back to sleep.
"I'm glad you think so."
"It's just human nature, and General Liu ......"
"I'm talking about warfare."
Bai Zhizhan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Xue Yuanzheng didn't take Liu Xiangzhen's feelings seriously at all, maybe he didn't care about these at all.
If you want to say it, no matter how powerful Liu Xiangzhen is, just that kind of attitude of putting yourself before your own public can't reassure Xue Yuanzheng.
"Before you came back, I talked to Lao Yang of the Sixth Bureau, and his views were similar to mine."
"Can't be recovered?"
Xue Yuanzheng let out a long sigh before he said, "We have been working hard, and I hope that the top leaders of the Luosha Federation can recognize the overall situation. On the day of your wedding, I also sent an envoy to the capital of the Luosha Federation to express the importance we attach to the Triumvirate Entente and deliberately revealed your whereabouts, that is, you have left the imperial capital and returned to Task Force 41 ahead of schedule. ”
"This ......"
"President Nuland received the news that night that you did not stay in the imperial capital for the wedding."
Bai Zhizhan nodded and didn't say much.
This also just proves why on the morning of the 11th, the Nuland Navy did not fire the first shot, and it was delayed until the 12th.
Until Task Force 41 is found, President Nuland is not certain of victory.
started on the 12th, and it was also because the arrow was on the string, so it had to be sent.
From this point of view, Xue Yuanzheng's move was indeed clever, and he had long expected that Lofos was afraid of stopping the war in vain, or rat trapping, so he deliberately revealed the news and forced Lofus to issue an ultimatum, thus locking the time of the Newland Federation's entry into the war on the morning of the 12th.
The approximate timing of the start of the war was determined, and it was enough.
If you want to talk about strategy, there is really no one who can compare with Xue Yuanzheng.
More importantly, this move kills two birds with one stone, proving that the leaders of the Luosha Federation are indeed apes and horses, and they have long been secretly communicating with the Nuland Federation.
With that, what else is there to say?
The Luosha Federation has no counter-water for the time being, but is waiting for the most ideal time.
It's just, no matter how much you wait, that's what happened in the past few days.
Is Xue Yuanzheng prepared?
Could it be that Xue Yuanzheng had long expected that the Raleigh Kingdom would propose to join the Entente group at this time?
No, it's not like that!
Even if Xue Yuanzheng was like a god and knew that the Manman Empire could persuade the Raleigh Kingdom, it was impossible to know that the Raleigh Kingdom proposed to join the alliance at this time.
In fact, when the Raleigh Kingdom joined the alliance is not a matter of the words of the Manman Empire.
In other words, this is the arrangement made by Xue Yuanzheng!
Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhan looked towards Xue Yuanzheng.
"Judging by your expression, I've already guessed it."
"Shoufu ......"
"When we received the news, the Empire had already leaked the news that the Raleigh Kingdom would join the Entente according to the plan." Xue Yuanzheng let out a sigh before he said, "The Luosha Federation is definitely unreliable, what we are doing now is just pushing." ”
"Can the Empire withstand it?"
"That's what worries me the most right now."
Bai Zhizhan frowned, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly because he asked a question that he couldn't answer at all.
To say, he is not even qualified to speak.
Fortunately, Xue Yuanzheng can make up his own mind about ground operations.
"Lian Xusheng has promised to go to the Empire, and Situ Jingde will take Li Qing to the northwest."
Bai Zhizhan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
"It's superfluous to worry about this matter. Whether you can withstand it or not, in the end, it can only be us who can defeat the Luosha Federation. ”
"Of course it's best if you can withstand it."
"So it's up to the Navy."
Bai Zhizhan didn't say much, just nodded, indicating that he understood what it meant.
The more intense the offensive momentum of the navy on the Guia Battlefield, the greater the pressure on the Nuland Federation, and the greater the probability that the Luosha Federation will attack the Liangxia Empire after the water counterattack.
If the Nuland Federation is defeated, the League will be defeated.
On the contrary, even if the Empire is defeated, it may not be able to defeat the Liang Xia Empire, and in the end, it still has to fight to the death with the Liang Xia Navy in the West and East.
The Confederate group would certainly not risk the defeat of the Nuland Federation to storm the Empire.
Obviously, what I'm afraid of now is not that the Luosha Federation will call, but that the Luosha Federation will not fight!
As long as the Luosha Federation stares at the Liangxia Empire, just a few thousand kilometers of strategic depth in the northwest, it will consume millions of troops of the Luosha Federation.
No matter who launches the attack, facing a huge land hinterland spanning thousands of kilometers will be a headache.
To say, there are no generations, it will not take a few decades, even if you have tens of millions of heavy troops in your hands, don't expect to kill the other side of the world island in one go.
Modern mechanized warfare is not comparable to a thousand years ago, when a few horses could sweep the world!
"What do you need me to do?" Bai Zhizhan is very simple, everything has been said about this, and there is only one left, there is no need to continue to care about him.
"Fight this battle."
Bai Zhizhan was stunned for a moment, and then his mouth curled, because this request was too general.
"I don't care how you fight. What I can give you, that is, another aircraft carrier. If you really need to, you can also take the 'Yokoe' with you, and I will take full responsibility. The only requirement is that the offensive must be launched within the year, and it must not be delayed until next year. ”
"By the new calendar?"
Only then did Bai Zhizhan understand why Liu Changxun repeatedly emphasized that he would launch a combat operation to attack Guandao within the year, which was indeed the meaning of Xue Yuanzheng.
"Yes, based on the new calendar."
Bai Zhizhan rubbed his forehead vigorously before he said: "There are still more than two months, the time is very urgent, and I need enough authorization." ”
"No problem at all, if you want, I can help you find Your Majesty for a Shang Fang sword."
"Are you kidding?" Bai Zhizhan's eyes widened, and he looked at Xue Yuanzheng in disbelief.
"Of course you're kidding, if you want Shang Fang's sword, go to Your Majesty to ask for it, I won't help you out, and you are now a colt, your Majesty's brother-in-law, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a family, and it must be more convenient to ask for something than me, an outsider."
Bai Zhizhan rolled his eyes and was speechless at Xue Yuanzheng.
To say, after marrying Zhang Xiaoqing, Bai Zhizhan has not seen the saint, let alone asked the saint for something.
What is Shang Fang's sword?
That thing was originally made up, and it didn't exist in reality.
After the constitutional reform, the emperor was only a symbol, and the power was in the cabinet chief, and the emperor's edict was not as effective as the approval of the first assistant.
However, Xue Yuanzheng was in the mood to joke, indicating that the mood was not bad.
"No matter what, whatever you want, as long as I can give it here, I will give it to you. Like I said at the beginning, I don't have any extra requirements, just fight this one. ”
"Lord Xue, this is not an easy request to meet."
"Even the little eldest princess can be satisfied, how can she not satisfy me, a bad old man."
"Okay, I'll go back and figure it out first."
Bai Zhizhan didn't dare to be verbose, thinking that if he dragged it down, he would be taken to the pit by the ill-intentioned Xue Yuanzheng, so it was better to slip away in time.
