After a series of questions, the staff could answer them fluently, and everyone gradually agreed with this battle plan, but Zhang San always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.

After all, it was such a major battle, Zhang San decided to sort it out, so as not to make any mistakes, first of all, Zhang San's purpose at the beginning was to weaken the Japanese state and lay the foundation for the future decisive battle.

That's right! Zhang San then remembered what was wrong, he planned to weaken the Wa State at the beginning, how did it become a decisive battle with the Wa State now, and now he will immediately enter the next step of the war against the Song Dynasty, will such a big plan affect the implementation of the Song Plan?

The General Staff listened to Zhang San's question, and it was also embarrassing, everyone was too involved in the fight, and forgot about the next step, and now I think about it, if the decisive battle against the Wa State is started, then the military strength of the Ryukyus will be at least contained in the Wa State for more than half a year, plus rest and preparation, I am afraid that the entire war plan against the Song Dynasty will drag on for a year.

Zhang San looked at Xu Guanzhong, Xu Guanzhong thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, it is imperative to fight against the Japanese, at this stage, the resistance of the whole country is strong, if we take the liberty of withdrawing the army, I am afraid that the Japanese will mistakenly think that their strategy is successful, then the next time the resistance may be more fierce." ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at the battle plan submitted by the General Staff and said: "Only by defeating the resistance determination of the Japanese people through World War I and eliminating the resistance forces of the Japanese state can we take the lead in the next step." ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at Zhang San and nodded, and then continued: "As for the Song Campaign, this large-scale use of troops against the Japanese State, we have not only achieved a lot of achievements, but also found a lot of problems, and we lack experience in large-scale operations, which is also the purpose of this campaign. ”

Zhang San thought about it, this is indeed the truth, no matter how good the exercise is, it is not as good as a real battle, and many problems have indeed been found in this battle, such as logistics and transportation cannot keep up with the movement of troops, and many soldiers have not participated in the battle at all, so they are afraid to fight and so on.

Xu Guanzhong continued: "According to the prediction of the General Staff, after this war, the will to resist will definitely collapse, and we can adjust ourselves at the same time and start the plan against the Song Dynasty, which will take about two months to just submit a letter of state, so we have enough time to deal with the affairs of the Japanese State." ”

Zhang San asked everyone to discuss it again, and Lehe thought it was worth a fight, because since the beginning of the war against the Japanese, the cost of materials in all aspects, plus combat losses, personnel losses and other things, has exceeded 10 million guan, if it stops suddenly, then this 10 million guan is equivalent to a waste of money.

Gan Xingtai believes that the initiative in this battle lies with us, and we can fight when we think we can fight, and stop when we think we should stop, and now the Japanese forces on Honshu Island have not suffered losses, so even if we retreat, it will be unfavorable for the next naval attack.

As for the army, of course, they don't want to miss this good opportunity for training, and all departments have indeed accumulated a lot of combat experience through actual combat for a while, and there are fewer restrictions on Zhang San in Japanese warfare, and all departments have also made a lot of money.

Since everyone wants to fight, Zhang San is naturally from the advice, anyway, the time of the Song War is also what Zhang San said, delay for three or five months, and after cleaning up the Japanese state, his confidence will be even stronger.

You must know that this war against the Japanese only used half of the military strength of the Ryukyus, and it cost 10 million guan to fight for more than three months, and during the war against the Song Dynasty, not only will the expenditure be more than doubled, but also the time may be more than a year, that is, Zhang San will prepare 100 million guan for this.

Although Zhang San has been trying hard to make money in recent years, Zhang San's expansion speed is too fast, basically more than half of the money can only be spent over the hand, and Zhang San's current treasury reserves are only 40 million, and 10 million has been spent.

However, fortunately, after more than a year of construction, the Ryukyu copper mine has now increased its output, and the copper mines in Luzon have also entered the mining period, as well as the gold mines in Luzon and the gold mines in Tamsui. Therefore, these minerals are expected to bring Zhang San an income of 60 million yuan next year.

Plus some other income can barely maintain the consumption of the war, but if you can successfully develop Iwami Silver Mountain, the result will be different, and if Zhao Ji dares to disagree, he will dare to continue to consume with him.

On the afternoon of this day, the 30,000 army troops on the island began to board ships to attack Hiroshima Prefecture, and the reason why everyone was so confident that they could attack the other side's 40,000 men with 30,000 men was because the Ryukyus brought in a secret weapon, that is, the army's version of the ballista.

After such a period of use, everyone discovered the benefits of ballistas, but ballistas have always been used as the standard configuration of warships, and the army has never been equipped, which makes the army lack its own heavy weapons when attacking the city, especially in cities that are some distance from the sea, everyone can only rely on weapons such as ladders and grenades to get to the city.

This is also Zhang San's negligence, originally this kind of ballista was transplanted from the army, but now the army has forgotten, in addition to the ballista, there is also a modified army-type bed crossbow This time it will also be used in actual combat.

When the Ryukyus fleet entered the waters of Hiroshima Prefecture, there were alarm bells on the sea and inside Hiroshima Prefecture, and although it was the middle of the night, there was already an early warning system in place throughout the country, so it was not so easy to sneak attack as before.

But it didn't matter, the ship went to the Hiroshima pier and fired a round of fire bombs in the direction of the city, and in the illuminated area, it was found that the houses 500 steps along the coast had been demolished, and the torches on the city walls were lit up with human figures.

Seeing this, Zhang San smiled and said to Xu Guanzhong: "It seems that these monkeys have also become smarter, then we will teach him a trick, we don't just have ballistas in Ryukyu, and there is not only one kind of ballista shell." ”

Zhang San's face turned straight: "Order, replace the bed crossbow with incendiary arrows, and exchange the ballista for small ammunition to give me Hiroshima!" ”

After a while, the order came out, the ships changed their ammunition, and there was a burst of rapid fire, and this batch of ammunition was successfully hit into the city a thousand steps away, and the bed crossbow incendiary arrow was improved by Ling Zhen according to the first version of the incendiary arrow.

The first version of the incendiary arrow is a bamboo tube tied to the head of the arrow, although this kind of arrow can also achieve the purpose of burning, but the arrow is top-heavy, it is difficult to control the direction and can not shoot far.

After the improvement of the burning arrow to take a special bamboo near the fresh water after processing as an arrow shaft, this kind of bamboo bamboo is long and straight, the bamboo is thin and tough, it can hold about five catties of fire oil, after adding arrows and wind wings, the range can exceed 1,000 steps.
