Chapter 540: The Second Battlefield

Of course, it's not just the Navy that's in demand.

During the discussion, Lofalste mentioned one thing.

According to Eisenway's report, after Bran's army recaptured Malta, it should consider sending troops to the Beixuan region, to be precise, landing on the sunset ocean side of the Beixuan region.

To put it bluntly, it is to open up a new battlefield.

In fact, this is also an alternative to landing directly on the Western Continent.

In the original plan, it was supposed to land on the Western Continent next year and open a second battlefield against the Riman Empire, striving to defeat the Rimman Empire as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, after the Raleigh Kingdom entered the war and the Luosha Federation was severely damaged, the idea of landing on the Western Continent next year no longer worked.

It's just that in order to put enough pressure on the Luosha Empire, stabilize the eastern front of the Western Continent, so that the Yuanman Empire can't launch a counterattack in the near future, relieve the pressure on the Luosha Federation, and allow the Luosha Federation to concentrate its forces to deal with the attack launched by the Liangxia Army, it has to launch an offensive this year.

At the moment, the only option is to land in the Hokugen region.

In fact, this is also the key reason why Lofos agreed to let the two fleet aircraft carriers go to Lu Xinhai to assist and support the Royal Navy of Bran in attacking Malta.

Only by occupying and controlling Malta and mastering Lu Xinhai's absolute sea control can he land in the Beixuan region.

On a political level, landing in the Northern Xuan region is actually a test for the Newland Federation.

To put it simply, it is to participate in a ground war to show the determination to fight to the death and gain the trust and support of the allies.

Don't forget, after the fall of Nanzhu Kingdom, the ground battlefields faced by the Nuland army were all small islands, and they didn't use much ground troops at all, nor did they participate in large-scale ground wars, so the pressure of the ground war almost fell on the Luosha Federation.

If you want to say it, it's not even as good as the kingdom of Bran.

Regardless, Bran's army was at least still guarding the Kibu and Telok fortresses, fighting the Yamamans on the west side of the Shivan Canal.

Previously, he also fought a battle with the Riman army in the Beixuan region.

It can be seen that both the Luosha Federation and the Bran Kingdom will be worried that the Newland Federation will be able to withdraw from the war at any time, and may not fight to the end.

Don't forget, the Newland Federation lives alone on a lonely continent, dominates the Western Hemisphere, and there are no strong enemies nearby.

As long as it has the right to control the sea, with the setting ocean in the east and the Guia Ocean in the west, plus strong industrial strength and self-sufficient resources, the Nuland Federation can keep the enemy out of the country, because there is no need to fight to the death with the Entente like other powers.

After the end of the last war, the Nuland Federation re-erected the banner of isolationism.

Even a year before the outbreak of the Great War, the Nuland Congress had vetoed military aid to the Kingdom of Bran and the Narrowish Empire, citing fear of provoking a global war.

In response to this matter, the Luosha Federation has already proposed that if the Nuland Federation still does not make a difference on the ground battlefield within this year, the Luosha Federation will consider making peace with the Entente group under acceptable conditions, that is, unilaterally holding armistice negotiations with the Entente group.

Lofos had already sent an envoy to the Luosha Federation to discuss the matter of ground warfare with the leaders of Luosha.

Originally, it was conceived that an expeditionary force would be sent to the Rosa Federation.

Unfortunately, not only does it not work, but it doesn't make much sense.

Not to mention whether the Nuland soldiers can endure the harsh winter of the Luosha Federation, but the weaponry and logistics support is a difficult problem that cannot be solved.

Sending troops to the Luosha Federation not only means sending officers and soldiers over, but also equipment and supplies.

Obviously, if the equipment and materials can be smoothly delivered to the Luosha Federation, I am afraid that there will be no need for the Nuland Federation to send troops to participate in the war.

It is precisely in this way that opening up a second battlefield has become the only option.

In the beginning, the Luosha Federation has always insisted that the Newland Federation open a second battlefield against the Liang Xia Empire to achieve the goal of containing the Liang Xia army.

Unfortunately, it was too difficult.

A counterattack on the Imperial Kingdom of Samu, or an attack on the Nanzhu Kingdom, would have to cross the entire Guia Ocean, so it would have to face tens of thousands of kilometers of shipping routes.

Crucially, the Nuland Navy did not have sea supremacy.

If the Liang Xia Empire had attacked Aozhou and marched into the southwestern and eastern seas, these problems would not have existed.

It was for this reason that, after several months of repeated discussions, after the Nuland Federation promised to increase the aid, the leaders of the Luosha Federation agreed that they could consider opening a second battlefield in the direction of the Riman Empire, and reduce the pressure on the Locka Federation by attacking the Ranman Empire.

In this way, the Falling Mountains Federation will be able to devote more troops to the east.

It's just that it's not an easy thing to do either.

The Liang Xia Empire has strengthened its investment in the huge land battlefield, and has also played triumphant songs all the way, and has advanced the battle line to the east of the broad sea.

Because the Raleigh Kingdom joined the Entente group and the Terre Republic suddenly entered the war, the investment of the Manman Empire in the direction of Lu Xinhai was actually far lower than expected, and there were enough troops to strengthen the eastern defense line and strengthen the defense deployment in the western part of the western continent.

In terms of the overall situation, the strategic advantage of the Entente on the world island is very obvious.

It was for this reason that, in the previous months, the Nuland Army Air Corps had intensified its strategic bombing of the Empire, despite its huge losses.

Affected by this, the Nuland Federation expanded the production of strategic bombers.

The problem was that bombing alone could not defeat the Empire, and the huge losses meant that high-intensity strategic bombing was not sustainable.

After tossing and turning for several months, it was finally decided to land in the western part of the Beixuan region.

This move can not only force the Riman Empire to increase troops in the Beixuan region, but also relieve the pressure on the side of the Xifan Canal and strengthen its military presence in Lu Xinhai.

If the combat operations in the Northern Xuan region go well, Malta can also be considered as a springboard to attack the mainland of the Raleigh Kingdom.

According to Lofus, if the Raleigh Kingdom can be forced to withdraw from the war early, or defeat the Raleigh Kingdom first, it is also a feasible strategy to win.

Do not forget that the narrow imperial state of the Confederate bloc has already been defeated.

In addition, after taking the Raleigh Kingdom, he was not only able to consolidate his advantage in Lu Xinhai, but also able to advance the Nathel Republic to the east.

On a strategic level, as long as the Republic of There is defeated, the Liangxia Empire and the Terman Empire can be separated.

If anything, this was actually the only way to defeat the Entente.

In the last war, the alliance group was able to turn defeat into victory, in addition to the Nuland Federation's participation in the war at a critical moment, it also had a lot to do with the defeat of the There Empire.

However, this counterattack strategy means that the Nuland Federation must increase its investment in the army, especially the purchase of more tanks and artillery.

Undoubtedly, this means that the resources that can be allocated to the Navy will be significantly reduced.

According to Lofus, the current scale of the navy's shipbuilding can be maintained until the end of next year at most, and after the ground war starts, or it is forced to fight the Liang Xia army in the southwest and eastward and Austria, the navy must reduce the number of secondary warships.

Perhaps, in the end, even the main battleship cannot be guaranteed.

With full mobilization, it is possible to solve some problems, but not all of them.

Lofos told Niz about these things in the hope that Niz would understand that the strategy of focusing on the navy would last at most a year, and that there would only be one year left for Niz to turn the situation around.
