Chapter 262: Seeking Allies

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu was deep in thought, Fang Rui couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yu, if you are asked to mobilize troops from the Chinese Territory to the south of the capital, how many people can you mobilize, and how much time will it take to arrive?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said: "My Chinese Territory is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and many troops have been pinned down by the Cossack Empire and the Monte Empire, although some troops are not contained, they are too far away and cannot be mobilized at a moment's notice. I estimate that if the railroad is clear, I will only be able to transport 300,000 troops in ten days. ”

"Three hundred thousand? Or only? Fang Rui was taken aback, originally he heard Fang Xiaoyu say that many troops were pinned down and thought that he could transport 350,000 troops to the sky, but he didn't expect that there would be 300,000 troops like this, and they would arrive within ten days. If the regular army of the Lanfang Empire is allowed to do it, I am afraid that the preparations have not been completed in ten days.

Fang Rui was surprised: "Are you sure you can arrive?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Sure, at least 300,000." ”

Fang Xiaoyu thought to himself that 300,000 was already very little, originally he wanted to try to implement full mechanization in the Guards after he came back, if the mechanization was completed, even if there was no railway line, Fang Xiaoyu was sure that he would send the nine Guards over within ten days. If you wait for your own aircraft to develop, use airborne .......

Thinking too far, Fang Xiaoyu retracted his thoughts that were going farther and farther, and he suddenly found that he had made some mistakes in the way he redressed the troops. Because he was too familiar with airplanes in his previous life, he forgot that the airship that is most suitable for airborne operations under the current conditions is that if he has already formed a huge airship force, he can send tens of thousands of troops over within a day or two without giving an order.

It seems that when this matter is over, we have to study the possibility of using an airship, but in fact, I don't blame myself for this, because the documentaries I watched in my previous life said that the hydrogen explosion accident in the airship was too serious, as if the airship was a suicide bomber.

In fact, it's not right to think about it, if the airship was so vulnerable, how could Germany in World War I use a large number of airships to attack Britain, and also forced Britain to carry out a sneak attack and bombing with immature seaplane carriers, although they didn't even find the target.

"Xiaoyu, what are you thinking?" Fang Weiming called, waking Fang Xiaoyu up from his thoughts.

"Huh?" Fang Xiaoyu looked up at the eldest grandfather and uncle, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, I think that in fact, not all the forces of all parties are aimed at us, we can adopt joint tactics, even if we have the weakest forces in the capital, but with my Chinese leader there, who dares to do anything to us." ”

Fang Rui nodded: "Yes, as long as we have the strong Chinese collar as the backing, no one dares to touch us before we make a statement." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "I plan to go to Lord Wang Xuan, I think I can reach a joint intention with them." ”

Fang Weiming frowned and said, "Is this possible?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Very likely, first, the Wang family has very little power in Beijing, if they go it alone, it is impossible at all, they can only unite with one party; Second, we and the Wang family are now the least powerful, and he and we can unite without worrying about being swallowed up by our allies or being yin. In addition, I have a good relationship with Lord Wang Xuan and his daughter, and they should not save my face. ”

Fang Weiming smiled: "Yes, I heard that the girl of the Wang family has also blocked bullets for you, and it is indeed very related." ”

Fang Xiaoyu's face turned red and said: "Uncle, you will make fun of me, there is a relationship with the eldest brother, will Chen Shangshu still stand on our side?" With Chen Shangshu's help, the second grandfather doesn't have to be alone in the court. ”

Fang Weiming nodded and said: "That's it, listening to Xiaoyu say this, we are as stable as Mount Tai, it's really useless for me to be in a hurry." ”

Fang Rui said with a smile: "Xiao Yu is a thousand miles of our family, and the revitalization of the Fang family in the future will be inseparable from Xiao Yu." Fang Weiming nodded in agreement.

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You really don't have to worry, this time I came back was a telegram sent to me by Marshal Xia, do you think that with our relationship with the Xia family, they will deal with us?" ”

Fang Rui shook his head and said: "Xiao Yu, it's better to be careful, if the military strength in the empire is only equal to us, and our Fang family's military strength is mainly counted on your head, if something happens to the Xia family, we will be very passive, after all, politics has no family affection, and we also have to guard against one or two." ”

Regarding the sinister nature of politics, Fang Xiaoyu also knew very well that at this critical juncture, he would not pin his safety on the ethereal family affection, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll go see Lord Wang Xuan first." ”

"Brother Yu, you're really here." As soon as he approached the barracks, Fang Xiaoyu found Wang Ling standing near the camp gate and looking around, and when Wang Ling saw Fang Xiaoyu, he immediately ran towards him.

Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly got out of the carriage, and Wang Ling threw herself directly into Fang Xiaoyu's arms: "Villain, you haven't come to see me for a few years, have you forgotten me, and you have forgotten what you said to me before." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "How come, do you know how much I have been thinking about you in the past few years, don't I often write to you?" You also know that I can't leave the territory at will, and besides, I've been on a quest to get around for the past few years. Fang Xiaoyu racked his brains to find an excuse to prevaricate Wang Ling, in fact, he has been really busy in the past few years, and he definitely didn't deliberately snub this big beauty.

The two walked into the barracks, and Fang Xiaoyu said strangely: "How do you know that I am coming, and I am actually waiting for me at the gate of the camp." ”

Before Wang Ling could speak, Wang Xuan, who came to him, smiled and said, "She has been waiting for you at the gate of the camp every day, and it has been several days." Hehe, you're really here. ”

Fang Xiaoyu said as he walked into the camp tent: "It's a good thing that I'm here, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. A bad thing is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Oh? Xiaoyu's words are too profound, how to solve it? Wang Xuan showed a surprised expression.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "I'm here, it's naturally a good thing to see Ling'er, but it's a bad thing that I may bring the Wang family into extraordinary turmoil." But this turmoil is another opportunity, and if my uncle is willing to give it a go, it may not be a good thing. ”

Wang Xuan said with a smile: "You don't have to go around the bend to provoke me, do you see that I have brought so many soldiers into Beijing to be afraid?" The current Lanfang Empire is already in danger, and it is the best time to change the world, isn't the virtuous nephew here for a fight? ”

Fang Xiaoyu didn't answer Wang Xuan's words, now this kind of words can't be agreed casually, before he understands Wang Xuan's true intentions, it is easy to cause misunderstanding by saying his purpose, so he just silently sat down with Wang Ling to the starting position.

Wang Xuan's face suddenly sank and said: "Xiao Yu, let me ask you, when I sent my precious daughter to you to coach the cavalry, why did you hurt him." After that, I brought my daughter back, and you refused to come to see her. ”

Wang Ling saw her father suddenly questioning Fang Xiaoyu's face changed greatly, and she said anxiously: "Dad, what are you doing here?" Brother Yu didn't want his daughter to be injured. ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and patted Wang Ling with his hand to signal her not to speak yet, and then he turned to Wang Xuan and said, "It is indeed my fault for letting Ling'er get hurt for me, and not going to Tubo County to see her, I apologize to my uncle and Ling'er." ”

Wang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Just apologize?" Don't you have nothing to compensate for? ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Of course I want to compensate, I plan to ask my uncle to marry Ling'er to me, so that I can take good care of her and protect her all my life, and no longer let her suffer any harm." ”

Originally, Wang Ling was still anxious about her father questioning Fang Xiaoyu, but suddenly found that the questioning had become Fang Xiaoyu's courtship, and her face was immediately flushed. Wang Xuan's face suddenly turned cloudy, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xiaoling, what do you think?" I asked him so hard that he would finally let him say it, so that you wouldn't be bothered all the time. ”

Wang Ling said shyly: "Dad, how can you say that, I will ignore you." With that, she turned around and ran out of the tent.

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, good." I, Wang Xuan, can have a son-in-law as a hero like you, and it is not in vain for me to be the god of war, although I let Old Man Xia seize the opportunity, I don't allow you to let Xiaoling be wronged in the future. ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Uncle, please rest assured, the sisters of the Xia family are all very reasonable people, not to mention that the wives in my family are no matter how big or small, they are not bound by so many levels and etiquette, and they will not let Ling'er be wronged." ”

Wang Xuan nodded and said: "That's good, I'm just such a daughter, since I decided to marry you, we are a family, I will naturally support you." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Since we want to form an alliance, I don't see it, I have some doubts and ask my uncle to help me take a look." ”

Wang Xuan said: "What is polite to the family, just say anything directly?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Uncle thinks Marshal Xia will deal with himself?" Will he fight us in turn, after all, the current strength of the Xia family definitely has the possibility of winning the world. ”

Wang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I think with Old Man Xia's cunning, he will definitely be more thoughtful than you and me. Although his sons are all generals, they are not handsome, let alone the way of being a king. ”

Wang Xuan seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation of the Xia family, and blurted out the analysis of the Xia family, but it was definitely not like a temporary thought, obviously Wang Xuan had done enough homework before entering Beijing: "Old man Xia is old, even if he is allowed to ascend the throne as emperor, he can be a few years old, and then the Xia family may not even have to be a big family." What's more, with such a powerful grandson-in-law as you, what is the difference between making you emperor and him? I think the Xia family will definitely support you, and the biggest variable now is whether the Xiahou family will unite with the Cheng family against the three of us, if they unite, we will not have an advantage in the forces in the capital. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, especially the Cheng family, they hate me to the core, and they will definitely fight against me." The two have decided to intermarry and form an alliance, so they have a lot less scruples when they speak, and Wang Xuan also put the issue of changing the dynasty on the bright side, and no longer pays attention to several princes at all.
