If Great Xia wants to maintain hegemony through war, he must choose the right target.

At present, the war between Great Xia and the Jin State has just begun, and the confrontation between the south and Luzon has never stopped, and it is already fighting on two fronts, so we must not be too impatient.

Du Ruhui even proposed, "The war with the Jin State has just started, our army has only crossed the border, and it can still be retreated, should we suspend the war of the Jin State and wait for the external troubles to be calmed down, and then we will make a calculation?" ”

Ouyang Shuo shook his head resolutely, "The battle of the Jin Kingdom cannot be stopped, it must be fought to the end." As the saying goes, we must first secure the inside, and since the war has started, there will be no turning back, otherwise it will greatly reduce our deterrence in the Huaxia region. ”

"But the Great Zhou army has already deployed defenses on the border, and Weichen is worried that they will take the opportunity to break into the northern Xinjiang province and disrupt the rear of our army." It was based on such concerns that Du Ruhui proposed to suspend the war for the time being.

Ouyang Shuo's opinion was different from Du Ruhui's, "Da Zhou is bluffing." The three armies of Huben, Baotao, and Yingyang were ordered to also move on the border line. Once Da Zhou intervenes in the battle of the Northland, then we will not hesitate to start a full-scale war with them, so that Da Zhou will know why the flowers are so red. ”

In order to wipe out the Jin State, Bactria stationed a garrison division in the northern Xinjiang province, and there was not a single soldier, which was simply completely defenseless against the Great Zhou.

Ouyang Shuo did this, even if he was dead, Emperor Chen didn't dare to really send troops.

Emperor Chen really had that guts, Ouyang Shuo was happy, and he just took this opportunity to start a war with Da Zhou to completely eliminate this internal trouble, so that he could concentrate on fighting Jack on the global stage.

Du Ruhui listened, and then nodded.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a moment, and then said: "In this way, Keming, I appoint you as the pre-battle messenger to go to the northern Xinjiang province to supervise the war on behalf of this king, declare the court's determination to fight, and cheer up the soldiers on the front line." ”

"No!" Du Ruhui nodded again, very resolute.

"Tell Commander Yue Fei for this king, let him not have any worries, Great Xia is not the Southern Song Dynasty in history, don't engage in concubines and that, let him let go of his hands and feet, and destroy the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop for this king." Ouyang Shuo instructed.

"Please rest assured, Weichen will tell you!"

Du Ruhui was very moved, and there was no trace of concern, this is the majestic power of Great Xia.

…………

Because the next discussion was about military matters, Ouyang Shuo asked Jiang Shang and Fan Li to step down first, and at the same time asked the Finance Yuan to quickly draw up a plan for the impact of ocean trade.

After sitting down again, Ouyang Shuo looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "What move does the ovary think we should take now, which can not only play a role in deterring TP, but also reap actual benefits?" ”

When it comes to dynastic strategic issues, it is naturally Zhang Liang who has the most right to speak.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang got up and came to the world map hanging on the wall of the imperial study, and said slowly: "The core of TP is the Dawson Dynasty, and it is also the biggest enemy of Great Xia in the global battlefield in the future. ”

"If you want to deter TP, the best way to fight snakes and fight seven inches is to teach the Dawson Dynasty a lesson, so that the global lords realize that even the rapidly rising Dawson Dynasty is not the opponent of Great Xia."

Ouyang Shuo listened, his eyes suddenly lit up, Zhang Liang deserved to be Zhang Liang, and he really dared to think that as soon as he came up, he would touch the hardest bone of the silver hand, which could be said to be the opposite.

"I think the ovary already has a specific goal?" Ouyang Shuo asked with a smile.

Zhang Liang nodded, and pointed his finger blankly: "Weichen suggests that you take this place completely." ”

"Hawaiian Islands?"

"Not bad." Zhang Liang explained, "Right now, we are on an equal footing with the Dawson dynasty in Hawaii, and no one can gain the upper hand. As long as the Dawson Dynasty is expelled from the Hawaiian Islands, it can not only show the strength of our Great Xia navy, but also gain absolute sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Ouyang Shuo listened and did not immediately express his position.

The dispute over the Hawaiian Islands can actually be seen as a dispute between the Pacific Fleet of Great Xia and the Liberty Fleet of the Dawson Dynasty. In terms of size, weaponry, and combat standards, the two fleets are comparable.

Trying to take Hawaii to its own is no easy feat.

But as Zhang Liang said, it is precisely because it is not easy, once Great Xia does it, it can deal a heavy blow to the Dawson Dynasty, severely frustrate its ambition to rise at sea, and deter the world.

Ouyang Shuo did not immediately express his position, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, starting a war with the Freedom Fleet in Hawaii, in addition to the tactical impact, Ouyang Shuo must also consider the strategic one.

Once the war starts, it is equivalent to a confrontation with the Dawson dynasty.

After offending the emperor's family, to provoke the Dawson family again means that Daxia and the silver hand have no room for maneuver, and they must fight to the end.

"That's it!"

Ouyang Shuo finally made up his mind, his hands were slightly clenched, he looked at Zhang Liang and said, "The Senior Administration Pavilion will cooperate with the Navy Command to draw up a detailed battle plan before discussing this matter. ”

"Understood!" Zhang Liang nodded.

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival. Since you want to fight, you must be fully prepared, otherwise you will capsize in the gutter.

Zhang Liang continued: "In addition to attacking Hawaii, Weichen also noticed that this TP is menacing, almost including major dynasties in the world. But there was a dynasty that was not involved. ”

"You're the Indian Empire?"

"Yes." Zhang Liang nodded, "Weichen thinks that the Indian Empire is an object to be fought for, and the imperial court should officially put the expansion of South American trade on the agenda, and it is best to send an envoy to visit the Indian Empire." ”

In the early days, Ouyang Shuo had arranged for the Pacific Fleet to try to open up trade routes with South America, but the Pacific Ocean was too vast and pirates were rampant, and it was not an overnight thing to completely open up the routes.

The sea trade routes between the Great Zhou and the Dawson Dynasty were still opened up by the two, and even so, the merchant ships were attacked by pirates from time to time, which was not really peaceful.

In addition, the shipping route between Bactria and South America was too long, and there was no place to supply except the Hawaiian Islands, which was also a major obstacle to ocean-going trade.

On the premise of having a route to the Mediterranean, the enthusiasm of the Bactrian caravan to expand South American trade was not high.

With the establishment of TP, Daxia's ocean trade is bound to suffer setbacks in the short term, and completely opening up the South American trade channel can indeed become a new growth point for ocean trade.

The vast South American continent is rich in wealth.

Ouyang Shuo had a plan, and said: "The matter of sending an envoy to the Indian Empire will be postponed for the time being, and we will wait until we take the Hawaiian Islands." There is no greeting gift, and Honglu Temple is not easy to perform. ”

"The king is wise!" Zhang Liang nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the king and Zhang Liang were talking about Hawaii, Du Ruhui took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, about the Lion Kingdom's annexation to the Peacock Dynasty, do you also have to exert a little pressure?" ”
