Chapter 115 II Layout
The news that General Paz had tens of thousands of troops on the border with Alantlan was like a hammer that woke Dikar II from his dream. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dikar was still waiting for Paz to put down his posture and negotiate with him, but Paz actually put on a posture of not hesitating to start a war with Arubania, and now even if Dikar is willing to negotiate peace, the other party may not accept it easily.
Is this a trick that the Pas Empire wants to force itself to comply, or is it a decision made by Penoncal who was bewitched and his brain was hot? Dicard tried to find the clue in order to decide his next move, but the news that came soon after completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Dicard's heart - the Paz Empire had reached an alliance with Palci!
This news means that Arubania has lost the lead in diplomatic strategy, and it is also strategically in an extremely disadvantageous situation of fighting on two fronts! The original idea of using Bihab as bait to lure Paz now seems to be like a dream, with the alliance between Paz and Palci, the value of Bihab has plummeted, and he has become a dispensable existence, how to make up for it to save the situation?
Dicar's first thought was to find his long-time drinking friend, and Zai Biliuudas to discuss countermeasures. But how could the prime minister, who was not only good at the intrigues of the court, but also had a worse level of knowledge of the diplomatic and military aspects of the state than Dicar, how could he offer the king any decent strategy? After asking to no avail, Dikars tried to find the commander-in-chief of the defense of Basratia, General Bopos.
In detail, General Bobo is considered an old qualification among the generals of Arubania, but he is not among the first-class generals, because the presence of Adrim has dimmed his light a lot. But now that Dikar II looked at the entire court, there was no one more skilled in military affairs than Poses.
In fact, there is no need for Dikar to say, Bo Bo also understands the seriousness of the situation. Therefore, after listening to the king's questioning, Bopos replied almost immediately: "Your Majesty, the present situation is indeed very serious, if Paz and Palch join forces, then Weichen really does not dare to guarantee that Palci's fleet will not enter the Gulf of Pas and intrude on our country, and Path's fleet may also be in the same league with it, and the possibility of winning two enemy fleets at the same time is not very high in view of the only remaining sea power in our country at present." Once the Bay of Pas is lost, then the Palcian army has the possibility of landing from the sea to attack the city of Baslardy. In addition, the enemy is flanking from the north and south, and our army is facing the enemy on three sides, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of it. But there is still some time before Palci achieves this strategic goal, and we still have plenty of time to use in that time. Wechen roughly thought of a few countermeasures for His Majesty's reference. ”
Dikar hurriedly said: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
"First of all, although our country is an enemy of Palci, it has not yet broken its face with the Paz Empire, and the Paz Empire has just experienced civil strife, so presumably they are more willing to focus on internal stability than to fight against our country again at this time. Therefore, Weichen judged that Arantlan's move to increase troops on the border was just a gesture, and it was not necessarily a declaration of war with our country. Therefore, we can take two measures to prevent this: First, our army is still relatively sufficient in terms of numbers alone, and it is not difficult to send additional troops to the border of Pas. In other words, it is no problem to support the scene, as long as it does not actually start a war, it should not be a big problem. As long as we can temporarily deter the Paz Empire from doing anything to us, then there will be time to train these soldiers. Moreover, the newly recruited soldiers of the Path Empire will not be very strong after the civil strife, so as long as we send a prestigious general to guard the town, the Path Empire will not dare to act rashly. As long as there is no war on land, then Paz's fleet will also have some scruples, so that it can avoid fighting with both the Palch and Paz fleets at the same time. ”
"Well said, well said! Aiqing, please go on. Dikar couldn't help but interject.
Bopos saluted again, and then said: "Second, we should hurry up and return Bihab to the Paz Empire, although this may not destroy the alliance between Paz and Parci, but at least we can show our friendly attitude towards the Paz Empire, and it will also be beneficial to ease the relations between the two countries." At the same time, we can also use this to let Palci know about this, and try to drive a wedge between their alliance and make things work in our favor.
Secondly, the military forces in the south must be strengthened, and the attacks on the rear of Palchi must also be carried out. Only by increasing military pressure and harassment can we contain more of Palci's forces, so that they do not dare to attack our rear as they want, and even if they come, they will look ahead and hesitate, so as to buy more time.
Thirdly, with regard to the formation and expansion of our fleet, we should intensify our efforts and speed up the process. Although the Arubanian Sea Fleet has been destroyed, at least we need a solid force to defend the king from Palci, which is very important to stabilize the people.
Finally, as a precautionary measure, we must also strengthen the defense of the royal capital as necessary. In addition to repairing the city walls and making equipment to defend the city, it is also necessary to organize and train the militia to prepare for war to prevent the enemy's sneak attack and ensure that the royal capital is foolproof. ”
Dikar listened to it and said again and again, "Fortunately, thanks to the general's guidance, the widow is like seeing the sun." It's just that this military general stationed on the border of Pas, who should be appointed? ”
Bupos saluted again: "Your Majesty has clearly concluded that there is indeed no more prestigious general than Shurya and Abrahe in terms of the generals in our country at present, but it is a pity that they are fighting against Palchi on the southern front, and they are not skilled. Wechen dared to recommend a person, please forgive your majesty for the sins of Wechen, and the minister dares to speak out. ”
Dikar couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Do you want to recommend Adlemm?" ”
"Wechen is not trying to recommend Adlem."
"The widow forgives you for your innocence, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Only then did Bo Bo say: "The one recommended by Wechen is Arufa, the son of Adlem. Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Arufa, a young man who is brave and good at fighting, has also made great achievements on the front line, although his qualifications are still shallow, he is expected to become a general who can stand alone. There are several advantages to sending him as a general, first, although Arufa has no prestige, he has a father who has been famous for a long time, which the Paz Empire must know, so it can also be used to deter the enemy; Second, although His Majesty deposed his father, he greatly promoted him, and he was also a combination of grace and power for his family, and with his father's example, Arufa would naturally be in awe and grateful to His Majesty; Thirdly, His Majesty promoted Adlem's son, and Adrim will naturally be grateful to His Majesty, so that Paz will know that I, the Arubanian monarch, are united in my heart, and I dare not do it lightly. ”
Dikar looked at Bu Bo for a long time before he said, "Then Zhun Qing will play it." ”
Dikar's appointment was quickly implemented, but he didn't know that these ideas came from the brains of his beloved concubine Sura, and that Bopos was just a microphone. In this way, Sulla took the opportunity to use this move by Bobos to win over a group of ministers who supported Adrim to his side. (To be continued.) )
