Chapter 144: Analysis of the Situation of the Armed Forces of Jiru

With excitement, the speed of the airship seemed to have increased a lot, and the sun on the horizon showed a red face shyly, and the airship had come to the sky above the Zemin Plain Province.

Under the red sun, the Zemin Plain is golden.

The Zemin Plain belongs to the ancient Central Plains, and the winter here is also icy and snowy every year, but it is much better than the dimension where the Blue Flag Imperial Capital is located.

Maybe it's because there hasn't been snow recently, so I looked down at the Zemin Plain from a high altitude, and I didn't see any snow, but it can be seen from the instrument of the command cabin that the temperature outside the pod is already more than 20 degrees below zero at this time, although the altitude will be relatively cold, but the temperature on the ground at this time must be much lower than those places in the south.

"It seems that the soldiers of the Ji Yu Empire have not yet arrived here, and you can see that the city defense soldiers below have not made much movement."

Lieutenant Sean, who was holding the binoculars, looked at this very familiar land in his memory for a while, turned his head to Mu Jiu and said.

"Yes, I also saw that the flag of the Blue Flag Empire was still flying in those larger cities, but I don't know where those coastal garrisons have retreated now."

Mu Jiu also put down the binoculars, Mu Jiu was not very familiar with this Zemin Province.

Mu Jiu has lived in the Worford Plains Province since he was a child, and in fact, he is even more unfamiliar with Wa Siling's situation than Sean.

"Well, although it is said that the garrison of the Blue Flag Empire along the coast has basically retreated, the strength of the Blue Flag Empire on land is also not to be underestimated."

It should not be possible that the number of troops landing in the first batch of troops in the Kija Empire is too large, and it should be impossible to fight here so quickly.

So Sean guessed at this time that those coastal garrisons should be stationed in the area of Basling at the junction of Qilu Province and the Hexi Plain.

Actually, Bass Ridge that Lieutenant Sean was talking about, they flew over that mountain range last night, but because it was dark, they couldn't see the specific situation.

But Lieutenant Sean's guess still has some truth, after all, if Qilu Province wants to reach the inland place, several passes in the Bass Mountains at the junction of the two provinces are necessary places.

"Sean, do you think the Kiya Empire will attack directly to the north of the empire along the coastal strip, after all, they have the advantage of a fleet?"

Mu Jiu's suspicions were well-founded, if it weren't for their bombardment last night, this powerful combined fleet of Ji Yan would now be almost invincible along the coast of the Blue Flag Empire.

"Probably not, we also saw it last night, the ships of the combined fleet of the Jilu Empire basically have a large displacement, and most of them are deep-sea ships, and the bay from Qilu Province to the top is basically a shallow sea zone, and the draft of these ships is not enough, and it is basically impossible to support the battle on land like attacking Qilu Province."

The coastal area of the Blue Flag Empire, that is, the seabed near Qilu Province, is relatively suitable for ocean-going ships to sail, and it is impossible for other places to have such water depths along the coast.

Because the continental shelf along the coast of the Rhineaur province above Qilu Province is very gentle, the gentle continental shelf extends to a depth of more than 20 meters hundreds of nautical miles beyond the bay.

Under such topography, if you are not very familiar with the sea conditions in this area, no large ocean-going fleet will dare to get too close to the coast.

"Moreover, the Yale River to the north of Qilu Province is an insurmountable moat for the Jilu Army without the support of the fleet."

As he spoke, he and Mu Jiu came to the giant map in the command cabin, and Lieutenant Sean pointed to a large river on the map that meandered in the middle of the Blue Flag Empire.

The Yale River, the great river that divides the entire Blue Flag Empire into north and south, is very visible on the map.

"But if we hadn't bombed the fleet of the Kirak Empire, wouldn't they have driven those destroyers into the Yale?"

Mu Jiu is not a navy, so his understanding of ships is limited to some superficial knowledge from the system, so he is not clear about the characteristics of ships in this era.

"This is simply impossible, although the tonnage of those destroyers is relatively small, but to sail from the Ki Empire to the Blue Flag Empire, the structure of these destroyers must be suitable for ocean-going voyages, the draft of this type of ship is much greater than that of offshore ships, and the closed sand islands and reefs at the mouth of the Yale River are very great threats to these ocean-going ships."

Although Lieutenant Sean still doesn't know the changes in the combined fleet of the Ji Yan Empire in recent years, no matter how powerful the fleet is, in the face of the intricate sea conditions above the deep sea, it is impossible for a flat-bottomed shallow water ship suitable for sailing in shallow areas to cross tens of thousands of nautical miles of ocean to come to the Blue Flag Empire, after all, the seakeeping of all flat-bottomed ships is very unstable, so he is very sure of his judgment.

"I see. That is to say, these land forces that landed in the Kirak Empire either marched south, or entered the interior of the Blue Banner Empire through the Bass Mountains. ”

Under the guidance of Lieutenant Sean, Mu Jiu also had a relatively clear understanding of the bottom-line landform around Qilu Province.

"Yes, but the purpose of the Ki Empire's invasion of the Blue Flag Empire this time is to occupy a rich and fertile colony, and those mountainous areas in the south of the Blue Flag Empire are a chicken rib existence for the Ki Empire, after all, those places are not only barren except for the coast, but more importantly, the mountainous area, if the locals resist, the Ki Empire will have to invest dozens of times more troops than the plains to be able to control it, which is for the Ki O Empire army that set foot on the Blue Flag Empire for the first time, The gains outweigh the losses. ”

As a top student who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy and has followed the famous general Oprah for many years, Sean not only has a certain attainment at the tactical level, but also has a certain understanding of strategy, which is why Major General Oprah is particularly optimistic about Lieutenant Sean.

"Sean, according to your analysis, it seems that as long as the Blue Banner Empire defends a few communication arteries in the Bass Mountains, the army of the Ki Empire can only stop at Qilu Province."

"Yes, if there are no accidents, it should be so, and now that we have severely damaged the combined fleet of the Kigar Empire, if the top management of the Blue Banner Empire reacts in time, it may not be impossible to counterattack and regain the lost territory in one fell swoop."

"Alas! Regardless of the outcome, I am afraid that the people in the occupied areas of Qilu Province are the most unlucky, and I hope that the occupying forces of the Ki Empire will abide by the international conventions. ”

Although according to Lieutenant Sean's analysis, after this bombing, the situation of the war can be said to have undergone a earth-shaking reversal, but the fate of the people in the occupied area cannot be changed after all, and now Mu Jiu is only waiting to secretly pray that the Jilu Imperial Army occupying Qilu Province can abide by the international war convention and not harm the unarmed innocent people.

"Alas! I hope so......"

But is it possible? Hearing Mu Jiu's words, Lieutenant Sean opened his mouth to speak, but he was a little speechless, because he knew history better, and he knew the temperament of this country better than Mu Jiu, and Lieutenant Sean was not very optimistic about what might happen to the people in the occupied area. <
