After listening to Zhao Yun's speech for a while, Long Ye's expression was obviously relaxed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After all, the 800,000-strong army was defeated one after another, and the loss of the city and land was indeed something that made people unhappy. After roughly understanding Zhuge Liang's strategy, Long Ye was also relieved in his heart. As a graduate of the Modern War Staff Section, Tatsuno naturally knew the terrible nature of the rout of the army.

Successive defeats are undoubtedly the most demoralizing, and although morale is no longer the key to determining victory in modern warfare, it is still indispensable. In ancient times, morale was the key to victory, and no troops with more morale could do it. Successive defeats, coupled with the inferiority of troops, the morale of the army is naturally not high. However, with Zhuge Liang, it doesn't mean that he will be defeated, because he is the god of the Three Kingdoms!

As long as Zhuge Liang's plan can succeed, regardless of how many enemies he kills, as long as he can achieve victory, it can be said that the army's morale will be completely stabilized. Under the huge difference in strength, the commander can still lead the army to victory, which is undoubtedly the most reassuring for a low-level soldier.

However, Tatsuno did not take it for granted. Zhuge Liang's arrogant tactics may not be discovered by the enemy, which is a serious problem. But it's not the most critical yet. What really matters is that the disparity in force is simply too great. Even if Zhuge Liang won the first war, the balance of the war was still in Prussia. With only more than half a million troops, it was simply impossible to withstand the attack of the Prussian state.

In Japan, although Han Shin is gathering troops with all his might, it will take at least a month to support the battlefield. It takes time for the troops to assemble, and it takes time to prepare for supplies, and it may not be possible to do it in a month when the time it takes for the army to go to the northwest.

In the past, there was no war invaded by the enemy, they all invaded others by themselves, and the materials and everything were prepared a long time ago, so it was naturally the speed of action. And the enemy faced by the sudden attack, in the early stage is always beaten particularly badly. Now that the Xia Kingdom has encountered a foreign invasion, it still has not escaped from this prison. Unlike thermal warfare, in modern warfare, there are enough railways to transport troops and supplies thousands of miles in a matter of days.

But there were no trains in the Cold Weapons period, and it took a lot of time just to prepare war materials and wine, not to mention the transportation of strategic materials, which took even longer.

In the face of this, Tatsuno also has no temper at all, not only himself, but the whole continent. Even the Beichen Kingdom is the same, and when the Lanna Kingdom invaded the Beichen Kingdom, it was not the same as 3 himself now. In less than ten days, the entire Annan County was completely clean, and it was only a few dozen miles away before it was beaten to the capital. I don't know what the king of Lanna Country thinks, there are only dozens of miles away, and hundreds of thousands of troops can go to Donglin City in one day, but they don't take the goods to fight Donglin City, they actually go to fight a pass, it's really stupid.

Similarly, the fastest way for the owner of the Beichen Kingdom to have a good mainland mouth is still more than ten days before the counterattack begins. This is still because there are sufficient grain and grass reserves in Donglin City, so that the troops can be sent so quickly. However, in the northwest, there were only a dozen strong cities and passes, and only a military town closest to the border had a large reserve of grain and grass, and it was captured by Prussia. At present, the assembled army can only mobilize supplies from the vicinity of the capital.

The food and grass materials consumed by large-scale wars are very terrifying, and the Beichen Kingdom, a superpower often praised on the mainland, has all kinds of material shortages, and the rest of the people naturally can't hide from it.

It was beaten by the Prussian state for a time difference, and the losses were extremely heavy, but in the eyes of Tatsuno, it was nothing at all. Except for the loss of 300,000 elite soldiers, which made Long Ye feel distressed, the rest of the various materials were not worth mentioning at all. Although the Xia Kingdom is not as rich as the Beichen Kingdom, it is definitely not that it has no strength to resist if it loses millions of stones, grain, grass and some materials.

The only thing to worry about is the strength of the troops, Prussia pressed three million troops in one go, and as for the follow-up troops, I don't know how many there are. After all, Marshal Ludendorff of Prussia was no ordinary man. In the face of one of the most powerful countries on the mainland, how could he not know the horror of this war. In the early stage, he had the advantage, but at that time, Xia Guo could not react.

When the army of the Xia Kingdom arrives, it will not be as troublesome as it is now. When the time comes, everyone will not fight for any resourcefulness, but for a real competition of national strength. The national strength of Prussia is naturally inferior to that of Xia, so it is necessary to gather more troops in the shortest possible time to enter Xia. Seize the cities and materials of the Xia State, and weaken the war strength of the Xia State, only in this way can the Prussian State have a chance.

It must be said that Marshal Ludendorff was indeed a risk-taking figure. And this battle really made Xia Guo suffer a lot, and at the beginning, he wiped out 300,000 elite troops of Xia State, which is equivalent to one-tenth of Xia Guo's elite. And the more than 30 cities occupied, although there are not many, are all strategic locations. You only need to wait for the follow-up army to come, and you will be able to expand the results immediately.

The Xia State was different, the Prussian State had already mobilized the whole country after the start of the war, and the follow-up army was about five million, to say the least. It's not really the 3 elite, but the number of people is there. As for military rations, it is even more worrying. It was already April, and it only took about twenty days for the follow-up army to be able to feel the territory of the Xia Kingdom. When the time comes, they attack everywhere and loot the grain that is about to be harvested in the Xia Kingdom. Not only can it solve the military rations of its own army, but it can also cause millions of refugees to the Xia Kingdom.

Looking at the Xia Kingdom, the war had broken out for nearly a month, and now Han Xin had gathered less than 1.8 million troops. With such a small number of 3 troops, even the current 3 million elite troops of Prussia cannot be defeated on the battlefield, not to mention that there are 5 million troops behind them. Xia Guo wanted to gather more troops, but once the family had a big cause, it needed garrisons in various places, otherwise Prussia would send a partial army, which would be a big trouble. In addition, the more troops are gathered, the more supplies are needed, and the time to support the front line has to be postponed.

Zhuge Liang's army of 500,000, who knows how long it can resist, the military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay. It's just that the follow-up five million troops of Prussia are really disgusting. Now the standing army of the Xia Kingdom is only three million elites, plus two million garrison troops. But after removing the garrisons in various places, only two million troops can be mobilized. With such a base of troops, it is impossible to compare with Prussia. The people are obviously hugging, leading the army to grab the land while eating the grain of their own people. I can't do anything that is hard and clear.

The Prussian army could not find food in its own country, but it had robbed more than 500 to make a city, and the grain there was almost ripe, and it was not bad. On the contrary, it is better for you to fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, not only to make the people's morale drop, but also to create millions of refugees for yourself, which we are happy to see.

It is precisely because of all these things that Tatsuno is even more worried, and in the final analysis, it is still a lack of troops. It's okay to issue a national mobilization order, but it's clear that you're the one who loses in the end. Long Ye thought about it for a long time, and finally appeared in Xiao Chen's Chinese army tent again.

"Brother, I'll think about what you said. However, if you are preparing the supplies needed for the army of two million, will you be even more delayed? Besides, even if my army of two million comes, it will take a month. Xiao Chen said with a frown.

"Hey, Xiao Xiao, the brother you said naturally knows. However, my brother is also forced to do so. It's useless to mobilize those recruits and go to the battlefield without training. Moreover, if there is an elder brother's two million elite troops, plus the elder brother's more than two million horses, it is enough to fight against Prussia. On the other hand, if the new soldiers were to be summoned, even if there were five million, they would not necessarily be able to stop the Prussian state. It's not like you don't know how good the Germans are in battle. Tatsuno said with a sigh.

That's right, the Germans are really powerful. Because Europeans are naturally tall and strong, they are much stronger than the Chinese. Coupled with the strict nature of the German people, don't look at the five million troops of Prussia that have just been recruited, but Xiao Chen believes that this month will be over. When they arrived in the Xia Kingdom, the combat effectiveness of those recruits would definitely not be much worse than the garrison troops of the Beichen Kingdom. If it's two battles, it's an elite. In comparison, Xia Guo had no way at all.

Moreover, the Xia Kingdom was short of troops first, and the second was short of time. There is enough time, and with the base of 50 million people in the Xia Kingdom, it is a small meaning to pull out 8 million troops. But if you don't have time to train, even if you pull out eight million troops, you will only be a farmer with a weapon, and the combat effectiveness is negligible.

"According to what my brother thinks, if you let people go back to deliver the message now, plus gather troops or something, it will only take a month and a half to rush to the Xia Kingdom. If it's your Western Army, Northern Army, or Northern Navy, not a month is enough. Without waiting for your troops to come, Han Xin will take 1.8 million Xia Kingdom elites to resist first. ”

"In this way, in just two months, we can gather more than two million Xia * troops in the northwest, as well as two million Beichen troops. If I could, I could urgently train a million troops to rise to the top in a month. At that time, the Prussian state had absolutely no 3 chances. Even, if we play well, we can even bite off a piece of fat. ”

Long Ye's words also made Xiao Chen understand a little. According to what Tatsuno said, the two countries may be able to gather an army of five million in two months.

"Okay, I'll have someone go back and deliver a message in a moment. However, brother, you also have to promise me one thing, this matter is also the main purpose of my coming to Xia Kingdom! Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said.

Long Ye nodded, and asked Beichen Guo to help him, and it was not good if he didn't agree to come down. The brothers are still settling accounts, not to mention that they and Xiao Chen are not brothers. "What's the matter, you say!"

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, I believe that the undead realm in the southwest of the Xia Kingdom, you know a lot now. In just three years of one year, the area of the realm of the undead is almost the same as that of our two countries. And the army is nearly 100 million or even more than 100 million, and you should understand the threat without the younger brother! ”

Tatsuno frowned, nodded and said, "That's right, I also know something about the realm of the undead. The expansion of the undead is too fast, and coupled with the characteristics of those skeletons, the threat to us who don't have the sacrifices, angels and so on of the American players is too great. Why, do you want to hit it, brother?"

"That's right, my brother hopes that my eldest brother can join forces with me and unite the forces of the two countries to attack the realm of the undead. Even if you can't kill it, you have to cripple him. Xiao Chen sighed and said, for the Undead Country, even if the Xia Kingdom and the Beichen Kingdom joined forces, Xiao Chen did not extinguish its confidence in one breath.

"It's hard, it's not easy to fight. The most advantageous crossbow arrows of our two countries are all restrained by skeletons, and it is not easy to do! Long Ye frowned and pointed out the most serious part of this plan.

"Yes, but we have to fight if we don't fight. Otherwise, in less than two years, the realm of the undead will reach the peak of its strength. When the time comes, destroying our two countries will be like stepping on an ant! ”

What Xiao Chen said was not wrong at all, and Long Ye also knew this deeply, but he had no choice but to fight to the death. "Okay, brother, I agreed. But, Xiao Xiao, when are you going to fight?"

"At the end of the year or the beginning of next year! Anyway, the sooner the better, after all, the undead are different from us, people can expand in any season, we can't compare! ”

"Well, it's a bit early. The elder brother suffered this invasion of Prussia, and the loss was not small. If you count the decisive battle after that, it will still be a bit difficult to recover to peak form within half a year. Unless you can bite a big piece of meat off the Prussian state, your plan may have to be postponed again. Long Ye said, Xia Guo is indeed a little unlucky this time.

"It's okay, my brother naturally knows this. After the end of the war with Prussia, the Beichen Congress mobilized a large amount of supplies to help Xia regain its strength. After all, everything still has to be focused on severely destroying the kingdom of the undead. No matter how rampant the country of Prussia is, the grasshoppers that are jumping around at the time of our two families are in danger, only the country of the undead is a big trouble! ”

"Hehe, with Xiao Xiao's words, my brother is relieved. Beichen has a great national cause, and after two years of recuperation, he must have reserved a lot of supplies. After the end of the war, as long as the assistance of Beichen Kingdom is effective, the elder brother believes that Xia Kingdom will definitely recover its strength within the year. Alas~ This time, thank you so much! ”

"Go and beg, our brothers are still not brothers, if yes, don't say thank you, it's really impressive!"
