Comparatively speaking, the Army was more divided in the direction of the ground offensive.

It's just that fundamentally, it's still about the Navy.

The reason is that the combat operations facing the Fanyanyang, Fanluo, and Gangara Plains have always been dominated by the navy, and the army only provides assistance.

In the last war, the Army pursued a strategy of focusing on defense in the southwest.

It's not that the Royal Army of Bran can't be defeated, but it lacks the necessary conditions for attacking.

Traffic.

Whether it is on the Toe Peninsula or the Gangaro Plain after breaking out of the Cloud Canyon, there is no or lack of railways and roads necessary for the operation of large armies.

In the entire Toe Peninsula, there is only one railway to the eastern part of the Gangaro Plain.

This single-track railway, which took 20 years to build, not only has a very limited transportation capacity, but also crosses dozens of fast-flowing rivers.

Blow up a bridge and you can cut off the entire railway!

After the end of the last war, the western section of the railway was handed over to the Kingdom of Bran, where it was garrisoned by the Van Rowe Regiment of the Royal Army of Bran.

The Van Roe Legion was very poor in combat effectiveness, and in order to hold the Gangaro Plains, it would certainly cut off the railroad by blowing up the railway bridge if necessary.

As for roads, even if there were, there wouldn't be many.

Because the transportation conditions were too bad, historically, the empire has been expanding to Fanyan Ocean by sea.

According to the traditional routine, it is to go south from the Yanhai Sea, control the Throat Strait after seizing Shiquan City, and then open up the Xunfeng Strait and Longyan Strait in the south, and directly enter Silan Island after entering the Fanyan Ocean, and then there is Mua Hai, and Kibu Fortress in the southwest of Mua Hai.

During this period, it is decided whether it is necessary to seize and control more footholds, such as the islands to the east and west of Slan.

Decades ago, Chen Bingxun followed this route, playing triumphant songs along the way, and finally forced the Royal Navy of Bran to hand over the Trident of Van Yanyang at the Kibu Fortress. After the discovery of the oil fields in Posha Bay, the empire also built a sea route for oil along this route.

Advancing along this route, except for the need to sweep the Toe Peninsula in the early stage, has little to do with the army.

Several key locations, such as Lion Springs and Slan Island, are actually islands, and only Slan Island is larger, and they need to be occupied with sufficient troops.

Only now, the Marine Corps is up to the task, and there is no need to use the Army.

The problem now is that the navy can't divide the forces.

According to the results of the previous discussion, even if the battle with the Newland Navy is completely won, it will not be until next year, after the commissioning of four large aircraft carriers, that the Imperial Navy will be able to send troops to Fanyanyang. In fact, by next year, the Imperial Navy may not be able to send troops to Fanyanyang.

No matter how bad the Nuland Navy is, thanks to the vast Guia Ocean and its unique geographical advantages, the Nuland Federation will definitely not be defeated in just a few months.

As long as the Nuland Federation is not defeated, the Imperial Navy will have to focus on the Guia.

Although next year's operational deployment has not yet been discussed, everyone knows it in their hearts. Even if the situation is favorable, the first task is to seize the pipeline and the North Malaysia Islands, and then march into the southwestern and eastern seas, cut off the shipping routes from the Newland Federation to Austria, and even prepare for an attack on Austria.

As for the necessity of attacking Austria, it was made clear in the negotiations on the caves.

Even after the Bran Kingdom declares war on the Liangxia Empire, the necessity of attacking Austria will be reduced a lot, that is, the Bran Kingdom will definitely cut off the shipping route through Fanyanyang, then the Liangxia Empire and the Juman Empire can only rely on the railroad of the Luosha Federation, and there is no need to capture Austria to blockade Fanyanyang and prevent the submarines of the Guia Fleet of the Nuland Navy from using Austria as the starting place to attack freighters in Fanyanyang.

But the problem is that Austria itself has great value.

If nothing else, many of the resources that the Bran Kingdom obtained from overseas came from Austria, including food that was particularly important during the war.

The beef produced by Austria accounts for eighty percent of the total imports of the Bran Kingdom!

In addition, Austria posed a threat to the Imperial Navy's control of the area around the Yanhai Sea and its advance into the Fanyan Ocean.

The area around the Yanhai Sea is inherently valuable, producing irreplaceable resources such as quinine, which is essential for fighting in the tropics, natural rubber, and so on, and there are several oil fields in Polo Island.

It can be seen that as long as the Imperial Navy intends to enter the Fanyan Ocean, it must consider attacking Austria.

Even if Austria is not attacked, the Imperial Navy will march into the Howaii Islands.

After attacking Austria, the Imperial Navy would first consider advancing into the Howai Islands and seizing the Nuland Federation's number one stronghold in the Guita.

From a strategic point of view, the capture of the Khowaii Islands is equivalent to controlling the Guia Ocean, at least most of it.

The attack on the Khowaii Islands was not necessarily related to the invasion of Austria, and the importance of both was comparable.

Obviously, the Nuland Federation will certainly not give up the Howaii Islands.

According to the judgment of Bai Zhizhan, even if all the aircraft carriers and even all the warships were lost in the naval battle, the Nuland Navy would deploy enough ground forces in the Howaii Islands, and defend every island, especially Honu Island, where the treasure port is located, to fight to the death with the Liang Xia army.

It's not that it must be held, but that the advance speed of the Liang Xia Navy should be delayed as much as possible.

There is no better forward base in the Guia than in Jumbo Harbour!

In order to control the Guia Ocean, march into the isolated continent, completely defeat the number one powerful enemy of the Newland Federation, and end the war with the Western powers once and for all, then no matter how much time, how many troops are used, how much sacrifice is made, and how much loss is suffered, it is necessary to take down the Howaii Islands and capture Treasure Harbor.

From this point of view, the possibility of the Imperial Navy marching into the Fanyan Ocean in the 101st of the new calendar is almost zero.

Even if all goes well, it would be a miracle to be able to conquer the Khowaii Islands in the first half of the year 101 of the new calendar.

This is also the key reason for setting the scale of oil reserves at one year, and trying to win over the Luosha Federation, and expand the scale of imports from the Luosha Federation, so as to ensure that there will be no shortage of oil within one and a half to two years. It would take a year to two years for the Imperial Navy to achieve a decisive victory in the Guia.

It is precisely because of this that after the Newland Federation entered the war and the Bran Kingdom declared war on the Empire, the battle in the direction of Fanyan Ocean could only rely on the army.

This is also the number one priority of the Army at present.

During the discussion, Peng Huaisheng clearly mentioned that unless it was the Luosha Federation that opposed the water, the army would definitely have to invest heavily in the direction of the Gangaro Plain.

It's just that limited by poor traffic conditions do not expect the army to be able to achieve a major victory in this direction.

The attack was actually launched to contain the Kingdom of Bran, especially the Royal Navy of Bran.

The implication is that by launching an attack in the direction of the Gangaro Plain, the Royal Navy of Bran will be forced to send the fleet of the Fan Yanyang to support the ground forces in this direction, including sending carrier-based aircraft to bombard the railway line north of the Toe Peninsula, so that it will not be possible to enter the Yanhai Sea from the Throat Strait.

However, this is only a feint.

After the start of the war, the number one task was to send troops to sweep the Toe Peninsula.

Interestingly, in the direction of the "main attack" it is not necessary to invest too many troops.

Although the transportation on the Toe Peninsula is also very bad, it is certainly better than the Gangaro Plain, and it is originally the traditional sphere of influence of the Empire, so it is much less difficult to fight.

To say, the biggest problem is not in the Southwest, but in the Northwest!
