Chapter 102: Well-planned

Inside the Cabinet Residence.

After seeing the letter department leave, Wen Wei returned to the study.

He was accompanied by a group of core members of the wartime cabinet sitting by the fireplace, smoking cigars and discussing the current situation.

Smoking is actually a custom that has been formed over the years.

Twenty years ago, people sat on the floor, drank tea, and tasted home-brewed sake.

The change in customs can be seen as learning from the Western powers.

After all, after turning against the huge land to the west, the powerful empire that was once regarded as a teacher by the whole imperial kingdom and tried its best to emulate and learn from it, must find a new teacher.

In this world, how can there be a lack of teachers?

In fact, Wen Wei hates that others smoke in front of him.

Only now, he can only endure it.

For the same reason, the current situation is seriously out of touch with the plan, completely incomparable, and almost completely chaotic.

Otherwise, Wenwei would not have come to the Prime Minister's Office at this time to take over this mess.

According to the original plan, the Ministry of Information should continue to serve as the prime minister in wartime, and only after the tide of the war was reversed, Wenwei would come out to wipe his ass.

Everything has to start in the morning.

According to the plan, the ambassador sent by the Sayi Imperial State to the Liangxia Empire should arrive at the Privy Council before 8 a.m. to submit a war letter to the Liangxia Empire, officially declaring war on the Liangxia Empire.

As for the casus belli, it has long been concocted, and it happened in the North Sabean Islands, an attack on the security forces of the Saji Imperial State.

It's a bit far-fetched, but it doesn't matter.

This declaration of war was only fifteen minutes earlier than the planned time for the mobile fleet to raid Chengjiang Port.

The key is that only by declaring war on the Liang Xia Empire in advance can the Narrow Yi Imperial State be able to ask the Nuland Federation and the Bran Kingdom to enter the war in accordance with the alliance.

In fact, this is the crux of the whole plan.

In September, after the beginning of a major war, the Sakuyi Imperial Kingdom made several secret contacts with its two allies to discuss the sudden outbreak of war. By the beginning of November, the Bran Kingdom had come to its senses and signed a very complicated secret treaty with the Sagi Empire within the framework of the Alliance, which was difficult for even a shrewd diplomat to understand, thus relieving the Sagi Empire.

According to this secret agreement, as long as the Sayi Imperial Kingdom declared war on the Liangxia Empire in a legitimate manner, the Bran Kingdom entered the war as an ally.

In addition, the Bran Kingdom also solemnly promised to send several additional capital ships to Fanyan Yang within the year.

To this end, the Sagai Imperial State also made a guarantee. If the Liang Xia Empire takes the lead in waging war against the Bran Kingdom, such as a sneak attack on the Bran Kingdom's military base in Fanyanyang, the Sayi Empire will immediately declare war on the Liang Xia Empire, and dispatch a fleet to contain and attack the Liang Xia Navy.

By December, when the Liangxia Navy held its annual fleet exercise, the attitude of the Nuland Federation also slackened.

Although the Bran Kingdom did not sign a binding secret treaty with the Narrow Empire, the president, secretary of state, and leaders of both houses of Congress of the Nuland Federation stated that the Nuland Federation would faithfully fulfill its obligations as a member of the League and provide support to the allies who were violated and in need.

To this end, the Nuland Federation promised to make adjustments to the deployment of the Navy.

According to the promise, the Nuland Federation will send all five aircraft carrier battle groups to the Guia Ocean within the year; transfer the headquarters of the Guia Fleet to the Howai Islands by the end of next year, and make the Treasure Harbour on Honu Island the home port of the Guia Fleet; Reorganize the Southwest and Guia Fleet, double the strength of the Guina Detachment, and send four capital ships and two aircraft carriers to the Guia and Southwest Guia Regions; On the ground, the garrison of Nanzhu was increased to 50,000 people, and the city of Mara was built into a military fortress in the Guia region.

At this time, the three members of the alliance group are completely synchronized.

By mid-December, after the conflict between the Luosha Federation and the three Gulf and Sea countries had erupted, the alliance group had its last secret meeting.

At that time, all the information obtained by the three parties indicated that the Liangxia Empire would take this opportunity to start a war, to be precise, to encourage the Luosha Federation to attack the Romans Empire and the Locke Republic, and then participate in the war as allies, taking action in the Yanhai and Fanyanyang in the name of dealing with the Locke Republic.

Because the Bran Kingdom will never watch the defeat of the two "meat shield" countries in the Western Continent, it will definitely participate in the war, so the Liang Xia Empire will take this opportunity to strive to sweep Fan Yanyang as quickly as possible. After consolidating the basic plate, he quickly returned to deal with the Narrow Imperial State. As long as the Narrow-Yi Imperial State is defeated, and Fan Yanyang has been controlled, the Liangxia Empire will be able to calmly meet the Nuland Federation of laborers.

Single-handedly against the Liangxia Empire, the odds of the Nuland Federation winning are almost zero.

It was on the basis of this information that the basic strategy was formulated.

The Bran Kingdom sent an additional expeditionary fleet with four capital ships to Fan Yanyang, putting on a posture of doing a big job, but it was just a suspicious army, the purpose was to let the Liang Xia Empire first keep an eye on Fan Yanyang and send the vital Southern Fleet over. The Navy will take advantage of this opportunity to send the permanent fleet to South Zhuhai in the name of conducting exercises with the Nuland Navy. If the Southern Fleet of the Liang Xia Navy enters the Fanyan Ocean, the permanent fleet will cooperate with the Bran Navy to annihilate the Southern Fleet in the Fanyan Ocean or the southern waters of the Yanhai Sea. If the Southern Fleet had not gone to Fanyanyang, but had stayed in Yanhai, or returned to Chengjiang Port, the Navy would have launched a surprise attack after the official declaration of war. The Bran Kingdom would follow suit, declaring war on the Liang Xia Empire and sending an expeditionary fleet to Shiquan City to assist the Sayi Navy in annihilating the Liang Xia Empire's Southern Fleet. The Nuland Federation pledged to complete the adjustment within three months and allow the Guia Fleet, which has five fleet carriers, to enter the war.

This strategic plan looks perfect.

However, there are two very important prerequisites.

First, the war had broken out, and the Liangxia Empire entered the war at the first time. The second is to follow the normal procedure and officially declare war before launching a raid.

Without the first condition, the Nuland Federation will probably sit on the sidelines.

Without the second one, both the Newland Federation and the Bran Kingdom may be watching the fire from the other side.

Obviously, when the strategic plan was drawn up, no one thought about how to deal with it when neither of these preconditions was true.

Now, that's the situation!

The Liang Xia Empire did not participate in the war, to be precise, the war did not break out because of the contradictions between the Luosha Federation and the Three Kingdoms of the Bay and Sea, and the Narrow Yi Imperial State was not able to officially declare war on the Liang Xia Empire before launching a surprise attack.

Without allies, does this battle still need to be fought?

Definitely have to fight!

Wen Wei rushed over after listening to the radio speech of the first assistant of the Liang Xia Empire, and publicly issued an ultimatum, which was tantamount to forcing the Narrow Imperial State into a dead end.

Surrender?

This is when the fight began, how can it be said that it has surrendered?

Besides, it seems that it was the Liangxia Navy that was beaten, and if it was surrendered, it should also be the Liangxia Empire!

Now that war has been officially declared, what else is there to worry about?

As soon as Wen Wei walked over and sat down, the door was pushed open.

Admiral Yingxi hurried in, he had been unusually promoted in the afternoon, and was now the Minister of War appointed by Wenwei.

It's just that he wasn't the only one who came.

Behind him, there were several young officers, some of whom were naval officers.

Noticing the faces of these young officers, Wen Wei immediately realized that it must be extremely bad news, could it be that what Xue Yuanzheng said on the radio was the truth?
