[Congratulations to the host for expanding its sphere of influence to all of Northern Europe, breaking the anti-Han alliance and controlling the sea power, and your reputation in Europe has increased again, gaining 10,000 personal reputation.]

The total reward for capturing Nordic and winning the campaign is 10 national prestige. 】

In January 1667, Hong Tiancheng looked at the staged rewards given by the all-out war system, glanced at the personal prestige of 30,000 on his personal panel, and instructed the attendants around him: "Call Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng to come over." ”

Now Zhang Juzheng is the prime minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the prime minister of all the non-military administrative departments of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and also an important logistics director for the Taiping army, so before every large-scale offensive, Hong Tiancheng has to communicate with Zhang Juzheng.

Although the morale of the Taiping Army does not require a series of pre-war mobilizations, the soldiers of the Taiping Army have to eat after all, and the consumption of ammunition during the war is also extremely huge, which requires Zhang Juzheng to sort out and transport it later.

Because of this, compared to Hong Tiancheng, who only understands the military strength within the sphere of influence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zhang Juzheng is the one who best understands the comprehensive national strength of the forces under the command of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The prestige of 30,000 people is still a long way from the prestige of the next authority of 50,000 people, Hong Tiancheng did not pay attention to it for the time being, and the 10 points of national prestige were all exchanged by Hong Tiancheng into the Heavenly King Guards Division equipped with Mini rifles, and now, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom already has 10 fully equipped Heavenly King Guards Divisions, with a total of more than 130,000!

This is the main purpose of his sending the navy to help the Russian Empire take the whole of Northern Europe, and it is just a matter of chasing and killing Jobs......

After taking Northern Europe, Hong Tiancheng's main force of the Mini Rifle Field Army directly swelled to more than 130,000 people, which also made Hong Tiancheng finally have the confidence to face up to the huge army of the Anti-Han Alliance!

Of course, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not need to blindly take a defensive position.

"Your Majesty the Celestial King."

After Zhang Juzheng entered the door, he bowed deeply to Hong Tiancheng, this is the etiquette of Han officials to Hong Tiancheng, if you change to a white person, you need to bow to the ground with five bodies.

However, the etiquette of the Taiping soldiers is even simpler, and they only need to make a 'hand salute' to Hong Tiancheng, and they don't even need to bend down.

The countries of the anti-Han alliance jokingly called these nondescript rituals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom the decline of civilization caused by military dictatorship!

"If we launch an attack now, how many Han Association troops can be dispatched to assist in the attack?"

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly and asked, "Do you need to transfer the Han Xiejun who are carrying out the task of guarding the town?" ”

"If it is transferred, will there be problems with local security and management?"

"Absolutely! Your Majesty, due to the news of the imminent attack spread by the Anti-Han League, the people of the German Confederation, the Kingdom of Czechoslovakia, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Kingdom of Austria have become ready to move, and in recent times, the guerrilla activities have become more and more frequent, and many exiled nobles have returned to their hometowns through smuggling routes, becoming the leaders of the guerrillas and the main messengers of mobilizing the masses to join the gang.

If it weren't for the independent regiments of the regular army of the Taiping Army left by His Majesty the King as the garrison force, I am afraid that those Han Allied Army and Security Corps alone would have been seriously infiltrated and even set off the flag of rebellion, and in these areas, the German Confederation, which has the largest area bordering the anti-Han League, has the greatest traces of rest, and thanks to the 10,000 Swedish veteran smoothbore spear regiments loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven mobilized by His Majesty the Heavenly King, the resistance forces of the German Confederation have been suppressed again.

The spies of the anti-Han League, however, cultivated many 'leading parties' in Germany. ”

"It's so severe." Hong Tiancheng pinched his brows, pondered for a moment and asked, "In the prime minister's opinion, do we have the ability to take the initiative to launch an offensive?" ”

"That depends on how His Majesty the King wants to fight, if it is a full-scale attack, it is absolutely impossible, with our troops, the defense is full of loopholes, once we take the initiative to attack, we will be easily interspersed into the hinterland of Germany by the strength advantage of the anti-Han alliance, and at that time, even if the Taiping soldiers on the front line win more battles, the back road will be cut off.

Without the replenishment of logistical ammunition, sooner or later the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven will be consumed.

However, it would have been much better if His Majesty had only launched a local offensive and reserved a large number of main field divisions in the German region in case of any eventuality.

Only send a part of the main field force to attack a certain area, even if the anti-Han alliance army in other regions attacks, the Taiping army can rely on the mobile advantage of the inland to intercept it, and the most important thing is that as soon as the coalition forces of the anti-Han alliance attack, we can deduce their advance route, without having to disperse the troops on all sides.

However, if this is done, the army that takes the lead in launching the attack will probably have to face the preparation of fighting alone, and with the strength advantage of the anti-Han alliance, it will inevitably divide into forces to encircle and pursue the lone army that attacks. ”

Zhang Juzheng said with a serious analysis.

"In this case, let's choose the second plan, we can't wait any longer, the anti-Han alliance has no sign of launching an offensive at all, according to the informant, the factories of the anti-Han alliance are making guns and cannons day and night, arming and training new line infantry, and if there is no delay, the strength of the anti-Han alliance will be strengthened.

Their economic strength is much stronger than that of our Axis bloc, most of the territory we occupy has been devastated by the war, and it is difficult to resume production in a short time. ”

"Since His Majesty the Heavenly King has made up his mind, Lao Chen proposed that His Majesty should only send the main field forces of two divisions to launch a local attack, and the main field forces of the remaining eight divisions and regiments will be used for mobile defense, and with the forces now integrated by the Axis group, while supporting a large-scale defensive battle, at most it can only supply the long-distance logistics supply of the main field divisions.

And Lao Chen hopes that His Majesty the King of Heaven had better choose a weak opponent to attack, if the offensive force is slow, even if it is not surrounded and annihilated, our national strength will be dragged down, after all, it is impossible for us to independently support an expeditionary force to fight a long war while dealing with a full-scale war. ”

"Well, I know this truth, I have already chosen the target, the strength of the countries of the Italian peninsula has been reflected in the previous battles, let's launch an offensive in the Venice area."

Thanks to the Holy Spirit of the Nine Transformations for a reward of 500 starting coins
