The Admiralty sent not only the news of the defeat of the narrow-minded, but also the deduction and prediction of the development of the war situation.

There is not much to say on land, and the next step for the Yangxia army is to march into Puju and, with the assistance of the navy, capture the entire Ice Storm Peninsula.

As for the development of the situation, the forecast made by the Admiralty is not pessimistic.

The narrow-minded army suffered a crushing defeat after the start of the war, mainly because of the inaccurate prediction of the enemy's situation, for example, it did not expect that the Liangxia army would launch an attack before the navy won the victory, let alone launch an attack on the east and west sides of the peninsula at the same time, which led to a serious lack of defensive preparations in the early stage.

To say, there was no preparation at all.

When the Liang Xia army launched an offensive, the narrow-minded soldiers on the ceasefire line were still daydreaming, believing that the navy would definitely win a great victory.

After the start of the war, there is no such thing as being unprepared.

Even if it has to retreat, it will take advantage of the complex terrain of the peninsula and the harsh climate in winter to block the Liangxia Army in stages, and delay its offensive speed by consuming the combat power of the Liangxia Army.

The more representative is the Gaozhou offensive and defensive battle.

After losing the opportunity, the Narrow-Yi army held on for several days, causing a lot of trouble for the Liangxia army and forcing the Liangxia army to postpone the offensive after occupying Gaozhou.

Retreating all the way, the defender's strength density will increase, and the attacker's supply lines will become longer and longer, and the balance will inevitably be reached at some point.

Even if it finally retreats to Puju, the Narrow Army will inevitably fight against the water.

Regardless, there are still hundreds of thousands of narrow soldiers on the Icestorm Peninsula.

Not to mention hundreds of thousands of soldiers armed to the teeth, even if it is hundreds of thousands of fat pigs, it is not easy to kill them all.

As for the fighting spirit and morale of the narrow-minded soldiers, there is definitely no problem.

In the last war, the Ice Storm Peninsula was the last ground battlefield, and it was also the battlefield with the most tragic battles, casualty rate and casualty rate.

In less than two years, both sides have invested millions of troops here, and nearly four million officers and men have been killed or missing in the Narrow Army alone. In the spring offensive of the last year, in less than 100 days, more than 1.2 million officers and soldiers were killed in the army.

In the words of one Nuland war correspondent, thousands of hungry, poorly clothed GIs were driven to the front like pigs, and then, at the frenzied instigation of their commanders, rushed like headless flies to the enemy's line of machine-gun and barbed wire. Even after the battle was over, heart-rending screams still echoed over the battlefield. In one day, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who did not even have winter clothes were sent to the front. It's as if there was never a fool around, no one remembers them, no one even remembers them. When the sun rose again, another group of narrow-minded officers and soldiers were sent to the front line, stepping on a crimson battlefield paved with solidified blood.

According to the Admiralty's calculations, the battle on the Icestorm Peninsula will continue until next spring.

Only, is this inference credible?

Lofos doesn't think so.

That's a ground war, the Navy understands?

Although he also did not know much about the Army, Lofus served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and knew the Newland Navy very well.

To put it mildly, if the Navy had known what the ground war was all about, the Marine Corps would not have gone out on its own.

Of course, the key is still on the maritime battlefield.

Here, the Admiralty adjusted its previous assumptions.

To put it simply, after the Liang Xia Navy won a great victory, it became more likely to attack the Volcanic Islands from the north and south of the Sadou Islands.

The reason is the same: the possibility of a fierce battle with the narrow navy is no longer there, and there is no need to go south to attack the fortress of Tuk.

That is at the heart of the whole report.

Prior to this, even Lofos felt that after the victory of the Liang Xia navy, it was more likely that they would attack the Tuke fortress in the south. The key lies in the fact that operations in the southwestern and eastern seas, far away from the narrow homeland, can bring into play the value of carrier-based aviation units in a more thorough and comprehensive way.

In addition, there are strategic considerations.

The fortress of Tuke is located in the southwest and eastward ocean, belongs to Microcros, and is thousands of kilometers away from the Nanzhu Kingdom under the jurisdiction of the Nuland Federation, as well as the Austrian Kingdom that is independent from the rule of the Bran Kingdom, so from a geographical point of view, the fortress has little strategic value for the Newland Federation and the Bran Kingdom. In turn, the fortress happened to be on the strategic route from the Sagi Imperial Kingdom to the Austrian Imperial Kingdom, which had only two strategic routes in total.

Historically, Mikro was once an overseas territory of the Liangxia Empire, and the Tuke Fortress was originally developed and operated by the Liangxia Empire.

The Liang Xia Navy sent troops to the Tuke Fortress, which could not only achieve the purpose of striking at the Narrow Imperial State, but also avoid overstimulating the Nuland Federation and the Bran Kingdom.

At the military level, it also echoes the Army's actions on the Icestorm Peninsula.

At that time, the Admiralty used an Eastern proverb: boil a frog in warm water.

Attacking the Volcanic Islands will not have such an effect.

Geographically, the volcanic archipelago is less than a thousand kilometers south of the Sagi mainland, and is within the operational range of shore-based aviation.

Crucially, the volcanic archipelago is located north of the North Malaysia Islands.

Although the Northern Horse Islands were owned by the Liang Xia Empire before the last Great War, after the last Great War, the Northern Horse Islands were usurped by the Narrow Empire and the Nuland Federation. All the islands to the north of the archipelago are owned by the Sagi Empire, which is precisely under the proxy jurisdiction of the Saji Empire. The island to the south of the archipelago was under the jurisdiction of the Nuland Federation, which was later built by the Nuland Federation as an intermediate station from the mainland to the southern Pearl Kingdom.

What do you mean?

Tube Island is on the route from the west coast of the Newland Federation to the South Pearl Kingdom!

Don't forget, Nanzhu is the core interest of the Nuland Federation in the last war, and it is also the bridgehead of the Nuland Federation on the west coast of the Guia Ocean.

Liang Xia's navy sent troops to the volcanic islands, can the Nuland Federation sit idly by?

From a military point of view, as long as the Liang Xia Navy gained a foothold in the volcanic islands, such as Liuhuang Island, it would be able to quickly sweep the North Malaysia Islands and Guan Dao to the south. After occupying Guan Island, it will not be challenging to attack Nanzhu Kingdom, and it will even be able to sweep half of the Guia Ocean.

It can be seen that no matter how much the Nuland Federation retreats, it must not lose the island.

It is precisely for this reason that the Admiralty clearly mentioned in the report that if the Liangxia Navy chooses to move eastward, it must consider the possibility of sending troops to participate in the war, and at least it must increase troops to Guandao and the West and East Gazenail, such as sending a few large warships to Nanzhu to strengthen the shore-based aviation deployed on Guandao.

Of course, this is only the opinion of the Admiralty.

Lofus knew very well that unless the Liang Xia Navy directly sent troops to attack Guandao or Nanzhu Kingdom, let alone the Volcanic Islands, even if they occupied the Northern Horse Islands under the administration of the Narrow Empire, those members of the National Assembly who thought that they should develop behind closed doors would definitely not agree to send troops to participate in the war.

Don't forget, the Northern Horse Islands originally belonged to the Liangxia Empire, and even the Guandao belonged to the Liangxia Empire.

What's more, this time it was the Saoyi Imperial State that provoked the war through a sneak attack.

In addition, it is also necessary to consider the economic and trade relationship between the Liangxia Empire and the Nuland Federation over the years, especially after the outbreak of the economic crisis.

All things considered, as long as the commander of the Liangxia Empire is not confused and not stupid enough to directly move the cake of the Newland Federation, Lofus can only do it in a hurry!
