Chapter 291: Returning the Favor
Fundamentally, whether the Empire can defeat the Rock Republic within three months, and whether it can capture the Kingdom of Weijing as planned, has nothing to do with the White Cease-War War.
It was a ground war, don't say that you can't understand the war in vain, even if you are an expert, there is no room for interference.
What needs to be considered in the war is another issue.
Although conspiracy is the right way, conspiracy is crooked and heretical, and evil cannot defeat righteousness, the biggest problem of imperfection is that there is no secret to speak of.
As mentioned earlier, after the Blitzkrieg launched by the Manman Empire, the alliance of the Big Three could not be hidden.
The question is: Will the Nuland Federation still sit on the sidelines?
If not, then when and how will the Nuland Federation enter the war, and how will the two-ocean strategy be arranged after entering the war?
From the standpoint of the Imperial Navy, it was about how to deal with the threat from across the Guia Ocean.
This is not a single issue, but a series of questions.
On the issue of the Nuland Federation's entry into the war, the attitude of the army generals was more optimistic.
In fact, in the secret talks in the caves, General Li Qing repeatedly emphasized that the Nuland Federation may not immediately enter the war, and even after participating in the war, it will focus on the Bran Kingdom.
The reason is very simple: the narrow imperial kingdom is a dou that cannot be supported.
The Narrow-Sized Imperial State is one step away from defeat, not to mention that the Newland Federation is beyond the reach of the whip, and it will take time to mobilize after participating in the war, even if the mobilization is completed in advance and the ideological preparation of sacrificing millions of soldiers, it may not be able to change the fate of the Narrow-Sized Imperial State.
Compared with the narrow imperial kingdom, the foundation of the Bran Kingdom is thicker.
In any case, the Bran Kingdom was once an empire on which the sun never set, while the Narrow Empire was nothing more than an upstart.
Besides, the Liangxia Empire is too strong, and the Riman Empire is obviously a cut behind, so it should definitely deal with the weaker enemy countries first.
Crucially, the Bran Kingdom has a strong enough navy.
Although relying on this navy, after establishing the confidence of victory, the Bran Kingdom can protect itself, but before defeating the Riman Empire, this navy can only let the Bran Kingdom protect itself, and cannot play a greater value, such as going to the Fanyan Ocean to fight against the Guia.
First defeat the Riman Empire, at least to stabilize the situation of the war, in order to revitalize the trump card in the hands of the Bran Kingdom.
With such an obvious relationship, why question the Army's point of view?
When instigating the Imperial State to send a permanent fleet to attack Chengjiang Harbor, Lofus had already made a choice, otherwise he would not stand on the sidelines after the outbreak of war.
It's just that the army generals ignore the most important issue.
Who is the number one rival of the Nuland Federation?
Obviously not the Empire!
More than twenty years ago, on the day of the last war, Wilkins declared to the world that the Liangxia Empire was the source of evil, the public enemy of the free world, and that the Nuland Federation would lead the most powerful armed forces of Western civilization to defeat this demon from the East.
With the Liang Xia Empire as the number one rival, what reason does the Nuland Federation have to keep an eye on the number two opponent?
This is not a game of horse racing!
Will the war end if the Empire is defeated?
Without the support of the Nuland Federation, would the Kingdom of Bran be defeated?
After gathering the Bran Kingdom, is it more certain to defeat the Liangxia Empire?
Obviously, the answer to all three questions is no.
It's not that the army doesn't know the powerful relationship, it's just pretending to be crazy and stupid.
To say, Situ Jingde and Peng Huaisheng still did not give up the idea of attacking the narrow Yi homeland.
If it is concluded that the Nuland Federation will enter the war immediately, and the focus will be on the Guia, then a strategic choice must be made.
This was the first question that Xue Yuanzheng asked to Bai Zhizhan.
Do you need to attack the Sagi mainland?
After pondering for a while, Bai Zhizhan said: "I personally think that we still have to attack the Narrow Yi Territory, and the sooner the better. ”
"Why?" There are no outsiders, and Xue Yuanzheng is also very simple.
"From a strategic point of view, even if Lofos finds a panacea and succeeds in convincing the country's 'isolationist' diehards, it will be a few months before it is possible to take action on the Guia side. If mobilization is counted, it will take longer. ”
Xue Yuanzheng didn't speak, but frowned.
Bai Zhizhan did not hide his clumsiness and said his thoughts.
The first is that the Empire will not enter the war until next month at the earliest, and then use three months to deal with the Locke Republic, and the Nuland Federation may not send troops before the defeat of the Locke Republic, at least before the signs of defeat appear, after all, Lofos is not concerned about the Locke Republic.
The Rock Republic, which reconciled with its enemies after the war, had no value of sending troops to save it.
Secondly, the kingdom of Bran will not be defeated quickly, even if the mainland is bombed and blockaded, it can hold out for a while.
According to the situation of the last war, even if the shipping routes were all cut off, the Bran Kingdom would be able to hold out for more than half a year with its strategic reserves.
No matter how powerful the Empire is, it will not be able to launch an unrestricted submarine war against the Bran Kingdom after the war begins.
The point is, there are not so many ocean-going submarines in the Manman Navy!
Finally, the Nuland Federation will also need time to complete the necessary mobilization work.
Limited military mobilization, such as getting the Navy to recall all the officers and men on leave and ships to complete overhauls, would take months.
Based on these, it is roughly speculated that the Nuland Federation will enter the war in the second half of the year, and it is most likely to be in the third quarter.
Only, it will never be delayed until next year.
No matter what happens, the Liangxia Navy will be able to get four large aircraft carriers next year, and the Nuland Navy will not get an aircraft carrier until the year after, and only one.
Based on this, there is still more than half a year.
It's just that Xue Yuanzheng Shotgun didn't plan to let go of the white war.
"So, you've found a way to do it?"
"Not really."
Xue Yuanzheng smiled and asked Bai Zhizhan to continue.
"I only thought about this after I went to the Icestorm Peninsula. We've always wanted to defeat the Narrow Empire, is there really a need? ”
"No Victory Over ......"
"After the end of the last war, the Narrow Imperial State was supported by the occupation zone and the puppet regime, why can't it govern others in the same way?"
Hearing Bai Zhizhan say this, Xue Yuanzheng immediately tightened his brows.
Bai Zhizhan didn't say any more, after all, this kind of thing of seeking the country is not something that a small rear admiral can talk about, and the topic itself is not very glorious.
Don't forget, the White Stop War is still a quasi-colt of the Empire.
For decades, the Imperial Family has always been based on greatness, brightness and orthodoxy, and has never been associated with negative things.
"That's really the way to do it." Xue Yuanzheng pondered for a while before he said, "It's just that no matter how you fight, you can't avoid a war with the Nuland Federation. If I were Lofus, I would definitely strike when the Liang Xia Empire attacked the Narrow Yi Mainland, and we couldn't delay it until next year. ”
Bai Zhizhan secretly talked to himself.
Actually, this is the second subtlety of the current situation.
It is just the opposite of the North Sunset Ocean, in the West and East Looking at the Ocean, it is the Liangxia Empire that cannot be dragged down, and it is the Newland Federation that hopes to drag down.
At least in the short term, that is, in the first half of the year, the Nuland Federation hopes to drag it out.
What can be done in just a few months?
If it fails to achieve a decisive victory in the battle on the narrow soil and fights a protracted war of attrition, then what awaits the Liang Xia Empire is a catastrophe!
So to fight, or not to fight!?
