Chapter 371: The Army's Affairs

It was not only Liu Changxun, Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen who went to the residence of the first assistant, but also a group of army generals such as Peng Huaisheng, Situ Jingde and Lian Xusheng.

The discussion is not only about the combat operations of the Navy, but also of the Army.

In fact, it is mainly the combat operations of the army.

Throughout the afternoon, the three admirals were basically in attendance.

It is also normal that Xue Yuanzheng was an army general before he entered politics, and the current strategic situation, the army should indeed be more valued.

In Xue Yuanzheng's words, after the crippled Nuland navy, at least the battle situation in the Guia Ocean was stabilized.

The rest of the "Endeavour"?

Just as it is difficult for the Imperial Navy to launch a strategic offensive with an aircraft carrier, no matter how powerful the Nuland Navy is, it is impossible to open the situation with an aircraft carrier.

After the fiasco, the Nuland Navy will definitely have to spend a lot of time correcting the problems that have been exposed and making up for the existing shortcomings.

For example, the performance of carrier-based fighters is too backward to compete with the fighters of the Imperial Navy, so they must be replaced with fighters with better performance as soon as possible.

As a result, the Nuland Navy will focus on defense in the short term.

Bran Royal Navy?

Although the Bran Kingdom has declared war on the Liangxia Empire, Chull swore in his declaration of war that the Bran Kingdom will unswervingly assist the Eunland Federation, the defender of the free and civilized world, to face the evil empire in the East, but in the short term, the priority of the Bran Royal Navy is to defend the homeland, keep an eye on the opposite side of the Ranman Navy, not to trouble the Imperial Navy.

Even if an aircraft carrier is sent to Fanyanyang, there will not be many of them, and it is impossible to kill them immediately.

According to the information provided by the Sixth Bureau, it is very good that the Royal Navy of Bran can complete the preparation of sending aircraft carriers to Van Yanyang within the year.

It will not be until next year at the earliest, when the aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of Bran are likely to enter the Yanhai.

Actually, by that time it was already too late.

As long as the army seizes the time, invests enough troops, and receives the support provided by the navy, mainly arranging ships to transport troops and supplies, it will not be difficult to sweep the Toe Peninsula in a few months, and it is even expected that it will attack Shiquan City from the Malai Peninsula south next year.

After taking Lion Spring City, the Bran Royal Navy could not enter the Yanhai, so it could only go around in the Fanyan Ocean.

What about attacking the South Pearl Kingdom?

Liu Changxun said in the morning that the main force is still the army, and the navy only provides support in terms of shipping. Because it is facing the ocean, especially the Nuland Federation, the admiral will serve as the commander-in-chief, and the specific combat operations will still be undertaken by the army.

In fact, this is also a tacit understanding reached between the army and the navy.

As long as the battle facing the ocean, facing the Newland Federation, the navy is in charge, and the rest is in charge of the army.

What the navy really needs to worry about is the combat operation of attacking Guandao.

To say, the task of the army is much heavier.

In addition to the foregoing, in addition to the heavy investment of troops in the Toe Peninsula and Nanzhu Country, the army also needs to make a difference in the other three directions.

The first is the Narrow Imperial State.

According to Peng Huaisheng's meaning, with the Newland Federation officially participating in the war, the war with the Narrow Empire should be said to be over, and there is no need to continue to delay.

Although the navy has intercepted the fleet of the Nuland Federation, sunk and captured dozens of freighters, and seized a large number of strategic materials, as long as the Eastern Narrowish regime is still there, the threat of the Narrowish Imperial State is there, and it is a trouble for the Empire that cannot be ignored.

Of course, Peng Huaisheng also proposed a set of plans that seemed feasible.

Give more assistance to the Western Sagi regime, dispatch an elite force mainly armored troops, and quickly capture several major cities on the main island of Sagi, especially the imperial capital and the eastern imperial capital, to eliminate the Eastern Sagi regime, or at least make the Western Sagi government the only legitimate regime.

As for what to do next, it has nothing to do with the empire.

In any case, it is to devote troops to eliminate the Eastern Sasa regime.

Because there were not many troops needed, only 3 armored divisions, and there was the support of the Western Sayi National Guard, Xue Yuanzheng did not object, and made a decision before the end of the discussion, and Peng Huaisheng would arrange for the mobilization of combat troops and military supplies, and strive to capture the imperial capital and the eastern imperial capital within the year.

To say, this also proves a rumor in disguise.

The Empire has not conquered the Narrow Empire, just to keep the war going before the Newland Federation sends troops to war.

If the Narrowish Empire had been defeated earlier, what reason would the Empire have to remain at war?

The second is the northwest direction.

Lian Xusheng made a detailed report and concluded that if there was a war with the Luosha Federation, the Imperial Army's current preparations were seriously insufficient.

If anything, the transportation conditions are too bad, and the transportation infrastructure such as railways and roads is seriously insufficient.

To the east of the national border, there is only one railway and one road, and the maximum transport capacity that can be achieved can support a mechanized force of about 500,000 at most.

Anything more, it will have a negative impact on combat operations due to poor logistical support.

What's worse is that if mechanized troops can only rely on their own support capabilities, they can attack at most 200 kilometers.

Considering the actual situation, it would be nice to be able to reach 150 km.

The reason is that on the west side of the border, there is also only one railway and one road, and several railway bridges are all under the control of Luo Sha's army, and the road is in poor condition. As long as Luo Sha's army blows up a railway bridge, it can paralyze the entire railway line.

Relying solely on road transport, the armored forces could only advance 150 to 200 kilometers.

In addition, the inefficiency of road transport is too low, which will inevitably have an impact on the speed of advance of the armored forces, thereby reducing the combat efficiency of the troops.

In any case, fighting in the hinterland of the continent will definitely have to face these problems.

Of course, Lian Xusheng clearly mentioned that these problems can be solved.

It would be great if he could capture the railway bridge controlled by Luo Sha's army by surprise attack.

Relying on rail transport, the armored units of the Imperial Army were able to advance all the way to Yebao in the eastern part of Ura Mountain.

Even if the assault failed and Luo Sha's army blew up the railway bridge, it would only be necessary to invest enough engineering troops to ensure smooth transportation within a few months.

The key, in fact, is time.

In Lian Xusheng's words, even if the attack was launched before the start of midsummer, that is, in early June, the Imperial Army would only have five months at most. It was necessary to fight to the east of the Ula Mountains in early November and seize the bridgehead for the advance to the western continent, the strategically important Yebao.

If it is not done and it drags on until winter, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Not only is the winter of the Luosha Federation very cold, but there is not a single large city on the vast plains east of Yebao that can be used for a large army to be stationed.

In fact, there are not even medium-sized cities, they are all small towns.

In other words, if you can't lay down the leaf fort before the winter and refuse to retreat, you can only spend the winter in the wild.

Not to mention how much morale will be affected, they have to endure for several months, and when spring comes, they will be able to meet the counterattack launched by the recharged Luo Sha army.

No matter how powerful the Imperial Army is, I am afraid it will not be able to withstand the fierce counterattack of Luo Sha's army.

To say, the bitter cold in the hinterland of the continent can crush any army.

For thousands of years, no army has crossed the Ula Mountains in winter and invaded the Western Continent.

A few decades ago, the imperial army led by Emperor Shiwu himself was blocked outside Yebao City and ended his western expedition.
