In the International Trade City of the Qilin Base, in the conference hall of the Trade City at this time, almost half of the high-level leaders of the Easy Empire gathered. Obviously, for this counterattack by the Russian Empire, the Easy Empire is also holding an emergency meeting to prepare for the next plan.

"Ding Wu, you can first talk about the situation in Northeast City and Dragon City." Glancing at the generals in the conference hall, Ma Jun said with a serious face.

"Marshal, Northeast City has indeed lost its meaning of guarding, all of our people have withdrawn to Dragon City, and half of our army has entered the canyon fortress." Ding Wu looked at Ma Jun and said.

"Judging from the movements of the Russian Empire, they still did not intend to fight hard with us, but chose a strategy of step-by-step and gradual encroachment. Now the army of the Russian Empire has been camped fifty miles outside Dragon City, with the backing of Northeast City, obviously wanting to fight a protracted war. ”

"But what I can't understand is that the Russian Empire, under the premise of occupying such a big advantage, did not send troops to the upper reaches of the north-south boundary river, it stands to reason that now is their best opportunity to seize the northwest city, but they have done nothing."

"At present, the territory of the North and South Boundary River, the empire has basically been abandoned, I have communicated with the HX side, and the northwest city will cede to the HX empire." Ma Jun didn't think about it and said, "From now on, all the soldiers responsible for guarding the Northwest City will be evacuated, and then retreat into Qilin Pass." ”

"As for the original Qilin City defenders not moving, that is our first line of defense to protect Qilin Pass. The fact that the Russian Empire did not march westward this time is also because they know that if the Russian Empire really marches towards the upper reaches of the North and South Boundary River, it will inevitably be attacked by the Easy Empire and HX, which is also where they are smart. ”

"Since Dragon City is relatively close to the Canyon Pass, compared to the tactics of Northeast City, it is completely unsuitable for Dragon City. If the Russian Empire wants to cut off the supply of supplies to Dragon City, it is almost impossible, so we must make arrangements for the next tactics of the Russian Empire. ”

"Now the Russian Empire's way to deal with Dragon City seems to be the only way to attack it, but if the Russian Empire chooses to attack it, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties." Xie Zheng looked at Ma Jun who paused.

"One thing I suspect now is that the Russian Empire must have some ulterior motives, or that they must be waiting for an opportunity, one that is enough for them to fight back! It's a pity that our Empire has been based for too short a short time, and there are still too many imperfections in terms of intelligence. ”

At the end, Xie Zheng couldn't help but shake his head. As a veteran general of the Xiaoyao Empire, Xie Zheng's status in the Xiaoyao Empire is almost second only to Ma Jun, so in the face of his analysis, everyone also fell into deep thought.

"I had in-depth communication with the Emperor before the war began, and I also knew that the Russian Empire was not as simple as we seemed on the surface. So from beginning to end, my Empire has been adhering to the principle of self-preservation. Ma Jun took a deep breath and said.

"If it weren't for the food and personnel of the North and South Boundary Rivers this time, I don't think our casualties would have been so huge. However, our goal has been achieved, and there is no need to confront the Russian Empire in the future. ”

"After our careful discussion, the other territories of the Xiaoyao Empire in the interior can be abandoned, but only the Xiaoyao Basin cannot be abandoned, this is also the bottom line of our Xiaoyao Empire, in order to preserve our strength as much as possible, we will choose to retreat, I hope everyone here can understand."

"After nearly a month of fighting, the current war situation has almost begun to develop in the direction we originally expected, so what we need to do now is to stabilize the current situation. Next, let's talk about how the current plans of the Xiaoyao Basin are going. ”

"After a month of secret transfers, our main military forces have entered the Xiaoyao Basin, and as for the occupation of a large fortress and the city, it only takes a word from the marshal." At this time, Feng Hu said lightly.

"What happened to the original stick empire and the dynasty empire?" Ma Jun thought for a moment and asked.

"This time listening to the emperor, we are directly going the opposite way, the grain of the original two empires, as well as the population of our free empire, have basically completed the transfer after a month, all of them have passed through Jade City and Fuji City, and are retreating to the Qilin Basin." Tie Zihao said.

"It just so happens that you will lead the Xuanwu Legion to defend Jade City, which is the only way to the Xiaoyao Basin. The Golden Crow Legion eliminated part of its forces, or guarded the South Heavenly Gate, and let the Teng Snake Legion leave a few guards in Teng Snake Valley, and the rest of the people rushed to Qilin Pass. Ma Jun thought for a moment and said.

"The White Tiger Legion just needs to defend Heavenly Dragon City and Flying Dragon City, and during this time, these major places must be in our own hands. As for the three main cities of Fuji Castle, Yuanlu Castle, and Dream City, they were all handed over to HX, and the territories of the original two empires on the east coast were also ceded to HX. ”

"This ...... Marshal, is this what the Great meant? Tie Zihao asked with some embarrassment. It doesn't matter about other cities, but Tie Zihao has been guarding Yuanlu City for a few years, and he still has a lot of feelings for Yuanlu City.

"This is the result of my discussion with the Emperor, these three cities are located on the same line, if we want HX to control the two empires on the east coast, then these are what we must give up, otherwise we will inevitably have some unnecessary friction with HX in the future transfer of troops." Ma Jun glanced at Tie Zihao and said, this can be regarded as an explanation for him.

"In this way, the entire inland territory, what my Xiaoyao Empire really needs to protect, is the Xiaoyao Basin territory, which is still no problem for our empire's current military strength."

"Lord Marshal, if it is only to guard the Loose Basin, I believe in the strength of the Empire. But now that the Russian Empire has landed at the port of Kirin, if the Russian Empire is allowed to gain a firm foothold in the Kirin base, then our estimate of the Trade City will fall into an isolated and helpless situation, I don't know what the marshal's plans are for this? Wang Zhijie asked with his fist clasped at Ma Jun.

"At present, it seems that the entire Kirin base is indeed isolated, but with the heritage of the International Trade City, we have no problem persisting for a year and a half. And all we need to do now is wait, wait for the Russian Empire to wait! Ma Jun smiled faintly.

"The Russian Empire has no intention of launching a large-scale war at present, and with the advantage they occupy now, they can hold back and not move, which means that they must be waiting for something big to happen, so we don't have to worry, just wait quietly."

"If there really is any big change, or something beyond our expectations, then what we need to do is to try to preserve our strength and never collide head-on with the Russian Empire unless necessary."

"Lord Marshal, what if the Russian Empire forcibly attacks Dragon City and Qilin City? Or wait for the Russian Empire to gain a firm foothold in the Kirin base and start attacking the Kirin base fortress inside and out? At this time, Gao Lang asked with a frown.

"If the Russian Empire dares to forcibly attack Dragon City and Qilin City, then we will defend both cities at all costs. Because these two cities can be regarded as the gates of the two major fortresses, they must not fall into the hands of the Russian Empire, as for the Qilin base fortress......" Ma Jun said here and paused for a moment, and then said to Gao Lang with a frown.

"If the Russian Empire is really flanked inside and outside and vows to seize the fortress, then you will directly withdraw with the army and enter the International Trade City directly. Although the fortress of the Kirin base is important, as long as the international trade city is there, then the Russian Empire will not be able to develop in the Kirin base. ”

"Marshal, although the defense of the International Trade City is strong and the food and grass are abundant, we are isolated after all, and it is impossible for the Russian Empire to allow us to exist. If they seal the teleportation array, it may kill us! Gao Lang said with a frown.

"Hmph...... Do you really think the High Trade City is so easy to blockade? Ma Jun sneered twice and said, "Even if the Russian Empire can send an artifact to blockade the International Trade City, the Advanced Trade City must not be lost, and the Emperor will personally take action at that time." ”

Hearing Ma Jun say this, Gao Lang and the others immediately stopped talking. As for Lao Jiu's strength, they are very clear that if Lao Jiu is allowed to take action in person, then not to mention anything else, the artifact used by the Russian army to block the teleportation array will definitely not be able to be saved.

"Don't worry, even if the Great Emperor doesn't make a move, do you think that our fleet of the Easy Empire is vegetarian?" At this time, in the projection screen in the conference hall, Zhao Hao said coldly, "Our fleet is not attacking the fleet of the Russian Empire at present, in fact, it is also waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity." ”

"Although the shallow sea area is a great threat to warships, it is not impossible for us to escape the Empire. In fact, to put it mildly, this time the Russian Imperial fleet is really alone, and they are isolated! ”

"Now that we have the fleet of our Empire of Freedom stationed on the periphery, the naval support of the Russian Empire will be completely cut off by us, and their supply can only be supplied by land now, as long as we have enough patience, then this fleet of the Russian Empire is definitely a turtle in the urn."

"Marshal Zhao is right, we just want to see what the Russian Empire wants to do, only by understanding their purpose, can we make the most correct response." Ma Jun said very approvingly.

"What we can do at the moment is to consolidate our internal defenses, and as long as our defenses are not leaky and do not give the Russian Empire a chance to take advantage of them, then we will be considered half of the victory. So what you need to do now is to guard your respective stations, and if there is any trouble, you must report it as soon as possible. ”

"Alright, let's discuss the specific defense, as well as the movement of troops and the supply of supplies in various places. If there is anything else you need, you can bring it up now, or if there is anything you need to add to our layout, you can also bring it up. ”
