Chapter 417: Cheng Zhu in the chest
"General Eisenway, I'm sure you can understand our struggles."
After a long silence, Chull finally couldn't help but break the silence.
If anything, this Nuland Army general was the most taciturn soldier he had ever met. If you don't know, you'll think he's a mute.
Eisenway, still with a serious face, did not answer.
"You know, the threat of the Empire is too great. It was only a few months ago that we defeated the attack launched by the Manman Air Force with great sacrifices. Even now, there are still hundreds of submarine submarines encircling and suppressing our transport ships in the North Sunset. If ......"
"There are less than 60 ocean-going submarines in total, and only about 10 of them go to sea to fight." Eisenway did not give Chull face and corrected his exaggerated rhetoric.
Chull smiled embarrassedly, visibly annoyed, but didn't dwell on the details.
Only the Nuland soldiers would be so direct and not give any face.
"Even as you say, the Empire is still the number one rival. If the capital ships in the port of Algiers are controlled by the Empire, and the powerful Raleigh fleet is added, we cannot guarantee absolute sea supremacy in Lu Xinhai. If the route from Lu Xinhai to Fanyanyang is cut off, what is the point of entering Fanyanyang? In other words, after increasing the number of troops in Fan Yanyang, what do you rely on to maintain your military presence in Fan Yanyang? ”
It's one thing to be annoyed, it's just that on key issues involving the core interests of the country, Chul does not make a mistake.
"So, Your Excellency the Prime Minister has found a solution?" Eisenway controlled his anger, because he felt that Chull clearly wanted to sit on the ground.
"If your country does not object, we will act as soon as possible."
"How fast is it as soon as possible?"
"It's only for a few days."
Chull replied so briskly that Eisenway was suspicious, thinking that this "John Bull" had already planned and had hidden many things from him.
"According to reliable information, the Manman Navy will send the 'Prime Minister' around the end of the year to carry out the task of breaking diplomatic relations in the North and Sunset. When the time comes, we will send our home fleet to intercept the Prime Minister, and the whole world will be watching the North Sunset, and no one will pay attention to other places. ”
"You mean ......"
"We will give the Locke Navy and the Locke Colony Government one last chance before the official operation begins, and hopefully they will make a rational decision. If the arrogant Mega Man rejects the olive branch we have handed us and remains unwilling to cooperate, we will have no choice. ”
"It's crazy, it's ......," Eisenway became excited, obviously frightened by Chul's madness.
"General Eisenway, do you have a more feasible proposal?"
Eisenway's brow twitched a few times, and although he felt that Chur was talking nonsense, he didn't refute, or he couldn't refute it.
Before the rise of the Empire, it was the Rock Kingdom and later the Rock Empire that challenged the Bran Kingdom on the Western Continent.
In order to compete for the hegemony of the Western Continent, the two countries have been fighting for hundreds of years!
If anything, the Locke Navy has always regarded the Royal Navy of Bran as its number one rival, and the two sides have often clashed over colonial disputes.
During the Locke Empire, the two sides were still fighting to the death.
Before the rise of the Liangxia Empire, the Locke Empire was able to become the second largest colonial suzerainty after the Bran Kingdom, relying on the world's second largest navy.
In fact, this is also the key to the reluctance of the Locke Navy to hand over the capital ship to the Royal Navy of Bran.
From another point of view, this is also the reason why Chull is unwilling to give up, even if it is contrary to the Nuland Federation, he has to deal with those capital ships.
But is there really a need to worry about this?
Thinking of this question, Eisenway couldn't help but sigh secretly.
At the root of this is a lack of trust.
Although the Kingdom of Bran was an ally of the Locke Republic in the last Great War and joined forces to defeat the Hindan Empire, after the Great War, the two countries parted ways.
The Bran Kingdom does not want to see the Locke Republic regain its position as the overlord of the Western Continent.
The Republic of Locke was even more reluctant to continue to serve as a wall for the Kingdom of Bran.
With the Locke Republic and the Empire, the trust built up during the Great War was gone.
Besides, the Locke Republic had already declared defeat, and the Vichy puppet regime had already ordered its surrender.
Chull felt that when the situation eased, the Locke Navy would accept the orders of the puppet regime, after all, almost all the relatives of the officers and men of the fleet were on the mainland.
Also due to a lack of trust, the Locke Navy has always refused to cooperate with the Royal Navy of Bran.
"In any case, I hope that Your Excellency the Prime Minister will consider this issue carefully." Eisenway let out a long sigh before he said, "Locke properland has been occupied by the Romans, and the Locke navy has a common enemy with us. All they need is time, and we have no reason to ......."
"How much time does the general think we have left?"
At this moment, Eisenway directly closed his mouth.
If he had enough time, he wouldn't have come to Chur either.
"Luo Sha's army has failed to defeat the Empire before the harsh winter arrives, which is beyond our plans. If you want me to say that when the attack is launched again, that is, in about four months, not only will the Locke Navy and the Locke Colonial Government surrender, but even the Kingdom of Raleigh will join the Entente. Chur smiled coldly and said, "Does the general think that by that time, we will be able to defeat the Empire as planned?" ”
Eisenway didn't answer because he didn't need to answer the question.
According to the revised strategic plan, the Empire must be destroyed in the second half of next year at the latest, otherwise it will be ready to fight a protracted war.
This meant that the time had to shift the strategic focus to the East without addressing the Manman Empire.
Because it was impossible to concentrate on besieging the Liangxia Empire, even if it seized and grasped the strategic initiative, it might not be able to achieve a complete victory.
Perhaps, in the end, he still has to sit down and negotiate with the Liang Xia Empire.
If so, the battle will be in vain.
It can be seen that time is more precious than anything else!
"General Eisenway, you should trust us. At all times, we are allies who fight side by side, and everything we do is to achieve the final victory, and we are also safeguarding the interests of your country. I am sure that your country's leaders share the same view. ”
Chull was resolute and clearly unwilling to back down.
It seems that there is no way to talk about it!
Eisenway obviously hesitated for a moment before he said: "Does Your Excellency the Prime Minister know that several cadres of the Liangxia Empire, such as Lian Xusheng of the army and Bai Zhizhan of the navy, have all returned to the imperial capital of Liangxia. Based on the information we have received, there is a good chance that these two men will be sent to the Sea of Fire. If it is related to the action of sending troops to Fan Yanyang, it is very likely that your country will lose Shiquan City within this year, or early next year at the latest. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Noticing the change in Chul's expression, Eisenway was secretly surprised.
The old fox not only did not look alarmed, but was not surprised, and seemed to have been waiting for Eisenway to mention the matter.
It is very obvious that Chull has long received the news.
Now, Eisenway's wishful thinking failed.
According to his original plan, Nabai stopped the war and went to Yanhai to put pressure on Chur, forcing Chur to agree to increase the army of Fanyanyang in advance.
It's just that now it seems that Chull has already made a decision.
So, is there any other way than to increase the number of troops in Fan Yanyang?
