Perhaps it was due to the increase in manpower after the meeting, including the storming of Warsaw City and the subsequent clean-up of the battlefield, which ended shortly after about noon. In order to seize the time to rest and turn to the forced march at night, the officers and men of the volunteer units also took advantage of the afternoon to rest.

Since entering the war in Eastern Europe, in order to maximize the use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, the troops have not felt much discomfort after being forced to do a decisive battle with the other side unless they are forced to do so, and it seems that just like the Chinese army in the early days of the Korean War, they have chosen to march and fight at night as much as possible, and during the day they are either confrontational or concealed and rested. After eating as fast as possible, it was time to rest.

At this time, Xiao Xuan was in the camp tent in the guard camp, but he was looking at a world map that looked quite regular. The world map is the product of hundreds of times after a few years of resting and recuperating with a lot of experienced painters who constantly adjusted their impressions of the world map. To a large extent, the outline is not too abrupt compared to the world map in my impression.

Xiao Xuan's thinking in front of the map also attracted the attention of some of the soldiers around him. is different from ordinary relatives, including Tian Xiuying Zainei next to him, who is largely not regarded as an outsider at this time. Therefore, some military and political ideas, Xiao Xuan often communicates and discusses with the people around him. During the contact, of course, the people around him also knew that Xiao Xuan was not a difficult person to speak, and it seemed to be very different from the traditional superiors, and there were many fewer scruples.

"Your Excellency is thinking about where our army should attack this time?" Tian Xiuying finally asked tentatively.

"The west of Europe must go down, and the Rhine will also be crossed, and it must be crossed as soon as possible, and Rome and even Sweden can slow down. Of course, this is mainly due to the lack of decent sea power in our army. Spain also has a lot of land, sea and sky hazards. But from the Holy Roman Empire to the Netherlands and France, this round of expeditions was a must-hit target. At this time, the names of some places in the team are also more in line with Xiao Xuan's habits to a large extent, and Tian Xiuying certainly knows which scope includes where, but she always feels that this goal is too big.

In this way, although the main force of our army is close to 100,000 people, it still seems to be a little overstretched. Venture out against an opponent who is ten times the strength of a million enemy forces... Of course, perhaps because the disparity in strength between the enemy and us is too great, our army must break the enemy with a quick and resolute blitzkrieg? Tian Xiuying also said thoughtfully.

Xiao Xuan did not answer immediately, but fell into silence. What Tian Xiuying didn't know was what Xiao Xuan was thinking at this time, but it was something related to some strategic patterns in modern times and even in another plane. Geographically speaking, in the old energy era before the development of new energy, compared with the West with Europe and the United States as the core, the territory of China and Russia is obviously at a disadvantage, even if it does not consider the advantages of technological accumulation and national quality accumulation brought about by history. And even if the territory of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in its heyday is plus China, it still gives people a feeling of weakness. Excluding the foundation and starting point conditions, even if the part east of the Rhine River is included, the vast majority of the entire world island seems to have all kinds of hidden dangers. This hidden danger is that from Germany east of the Rhine to historical Russia, in general, the congenital agricultural conditions are not very good. The Russian group can only be said to have a slight surplus in the case of good business, and Germany and the countries of Eastern Europe are very poor. France, on the other hand, is obviously a typical land under the sun, and the whole of North America has four billion acres of arable land and even a considerable agricultural potential.

This is not to mention that the excessive number of people and nationalities under the rule will bring all kinds of contradictions, and it is impossible to have as close ties as those between the United States, Britain, and France. In the fifties, during the Sino-Soviet friendship period, the Western concept of war was thought to be abandoned.

Of course, this era is not modern times, but late antiquity, which can shape the world pattern by itself. If there is no scruple at all, it is possible to reduce the population of certain areas of the ruling area on a large scale, as the Mongols did in those days, until it can be reduced to a situation where only the Chinese population can be dominated. Even if you don't do it yourself, it doesn't seem to be impossible.

However, this leads to another question: if it is possible to conquer and even shape the whole world in this era, where should China be the center? Of course, the geographical and geopolitical conditions of the East Asian continent are much better than those of Germany or Soviet Russia in history, and as the saying goes, the golden horn and silver edge grass belly still have many geographical barriers and initiatives in the strategic pattern. However, as a dominant power in the world, there are also many strategic flaws. For example, the cost of extracting everything from coal to oil is very high, and oil and gas resources are quite insufficient, and these strategic shortcomings can almost not be filled until the technical conditions of the mid-to-late 21st century.

From this point of view, the geography conceived in "1984" is characterized by the three major parts: the oceanic countries alluding to the United States and Britain, the "Eurasian countries" alluding to the Soviet Union that took over the Western European continent, and even the East Asian continent, where the advantages of the United States, Britain, France, the North Atlantic system, and even the United States and Britain are the greatest. Not only is it strategically a "flanking power", but many of the industrial resources that needed to be exploited in the early industrial era are very closely connected with each other. In Europe, a large part of the resources and energy are in Russia and even in Siberia, and the EU is essentially a relatively resource-scarce place, and the cost of energy communication channels is too high.

Of course, Xiao Xuan also knew that at a time when sails and shipping were far from reaching the level of the war era, and steam-powered hybrid sailing ships had not yet appeared, it was extremely difficult to complete such a large-scale civilization and population migration. Of course, it is not that it is completely impossible, if the world shipping really has its own impression of the scale of European shipping in 1800 that is four million tons, specializing in population migration, an average of about one or two years round trip, and a few decades can also complete the transfer of the core population of tens of millions of people. These also seem to be an afterword for Xiao Xuan at this time, in the next few years or even more than ten years, will it be necessary to immigrate some people from the eastern headquarters to strengthen the consolidation and control of the occupied areas, and what scale is appropriate?

In the end, Xiao Xuan also put aside these major issues for the time being, and did not plan to make a decision before the expedition and raid, but chose to weigh it later, especially after learning more about the situation after the battle.
