Chapter 44: The escape route is better to listen to me

We can't hold on, it's actually an obvious problem. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Under the current technological conditions, any shield that has become extremely sharp compared to the spear is a bit outdated. Don't say how many tens of thousands of Ming troops are still in the city of Ili, but as long as there are no heavy weapons corresponding to the Soviets, ten times as many people will also deliver food.

However, if he couldn't hold it, this kind of words came out of Lan Tianwei's mouth, which still brought great pressure to people, after all, he was the supreme commander here. Since he said so, it means that we are ready to pack up and get out of here.

According to the staff officers, we currently have two roads, the first is to the east, to the city of Dihua, which is almost the center of the Ming Dynasty's rule in the Western Regions, and can also form a rivalry with the Altai army, and the second way is to join the Ming army on the Almaty front...... Uh, well, I'll be honest, in fact, the staff officers' ideas are basically the first one, and the second is what I proposed.

Because Lan Tianwei asked me so, I just answered.

"That's ridiculous, Lord Zhen, are you trying to drive us people to their deaths?" The lieutenant colonel surnamed Lu thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "With such an action, I don't see any hope of life, on the contrary, retreat to Dihua City, we can still wait for the troops in the Central Plains to open the Lanyi line and get support." ”

His opposition was the latest to come, and the other staff officers scolded me in a stinking manner before I could finish speaking.

Alas, you spicy chickens, Marshal Rokossovsky of the Soviet Union...... Has the general heard of it? I'm so tall that I don't know where I am, and I'm talking and laughing with him! You guys, tooyoung! It's better to improve your posture and don't always think about making big news! Iamnative! Don't criticize me at every turn!

"Then what to do with the bulk of the Ili Army that is now in Almaty? Watch them die? And if I'm not mistaken, are they still in a good situation? I shrugged. That's a heavy army of 300,000 people.

"Now they're just the end of the crossbow, and I don't think they'll be able to maintain their combat effectiveness for much longer without supplies." Lieutenant Colonel Lu shook his head, "Modern warfare is about logistics and supply. ”

"Well, then Lieutenant Colonel Lu meant to leave them to fend for themselves. I get it. I nodded with my neck held high.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu had some bruises on his forehead, and I could see it clearly: "Of course I don't want to give up on them!" But there is nothing left to do about it! Rather than wipe it out completely, it is better to know how to make trade-offs. ”

At this time, Lan Tianwei spoke: "Zishu, you might as well talk about your thoughts." I know that your thinking is very peculiar, and I am afraid that what you are saying is some way to go off the rails, but the current situation may be of some use. ”

"General Lan, don't you agree with our withdrawal to Dihua City?" I was a little surprised. In fact, I didn't expect Lan Tianwei to be so bold to listen to the opinions of me, a seven-grade civil official.

"I think you can see that from the current situation map." Lan Tianwei sighed, "The enemy forces attacking from the direction of Hotan have focused their efforts on blocking us in the southeast of Ili and on the communication line between Dihua and Ili. If we had chosen this obvious path, we would have suffered heavy losses, not to say that we would all be wiped out on the retreat path.

Since the invention of the airplane, is it possible that the army, which has no air supremacy, will end well? Lan Tianwei's worries are really reasonable.

The staff officers were also silent, Lan Tianwei was right, we are currently relying on Ili's fortress system to resist stubbornly, once we enter the suburbs, we will inevitably be killed and wounded.

"We can quickly join up with the main forces in Almaty and then move south to the Mughal Empire." I gave my opinion.

"To the Mughal Empire south?" The staff officers all looked at me with the eyes of a madman.

"The Mughal Empire was not a belligerent country." Lieutenant Colonel Lu's head shook like a rattle, "There is no way they will allow our army force of hundreds of thousands to enter their country, this is completely whimsical!" ”

"That's why I said that you must change your way of thinking. You should think, why do they dare to stop us? "I kind of want to laugh. With just a different way of thinking, many problems can actually be solved.

It's like another time and space, the KMT's troops were unfortunately defeated in the civil war, and many formed troops simply went into exile in Myanmar and occupied the Golden Triangle in a grand manner, does the Myanmar government dare to let go of even a fart? Although I wish our neighbors had some courage, they really didn't even dare to stop them!

We're doing it now, and it's the same thing.

"As you know, although the relationship between the Mughal Empire and my Ming Dynasty is not good, their relationship with the Soviet Union is even worse, in recent years, with the economic recession in the Mughal Empire, the riots of the Red Men and republicans in India, and the imminent threat of the Soviets, the Mughals even have to rely on our Ming to provide assistance in many ways, and they do not dare to offend our Ming Dynasty. What's more, my Ming Dynasty has a lot of missile battalions deployed on the Qinghai-Tibet border, which can raze the Ganges Plain, the richest in India, at any time - well, maybe razing the ground is a little insufficient, but there is no problem in razing the palace of the Mughal emperor. In addition, the "Entente of the Emperors" signed a few years ago clearly stated the content of opposition to the Soviet Union......"

I almost forgot that in this time and space, there are no nuclear bombs on the surface, and those missiles are all conventional warheads. In addition, the so-called "Agreement of the Emperors" was a joint declaration signed by the monarchies of the Old World against the republicans and communists...... Although there is no substance, the rudiments of this pan-monarchical alliance have already begun to take shape.

"Although accepting hundreds of thousands of foreign troops into the country at once will lead to all kinds of problems, compared to the consequences of offending the Ming Dynasty, what choice would the princes make if they were Mughal emperors? Anyway, if I were the Mughal emperor, not only would I not even dare to put a p, but I would not even dare to do the legitimate act of disarming, and compared with the Soviet alliance that is working hard to govern the country, I feel that our army group can directly take Delhi if there are supplies. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Lu and the other officers were obviously a little shaken: "What you said seems to have some truth in Lord Zhen, but this will cause a lot of trouble to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs......

"Their troubles are naturally dealt with by their superiors, and we are not from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so what do you care, not to mention that no matter how you look at it, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are more important." I waved my hand, "What's more, don't forget, we also have to consider the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
