Chapter 1159: Leaving the Tinder
For Bactria or not, the abandonment of Moroccan provinces or not are two very different patterns.
Choosing to fight the enemy in Morocco is a waste of energy, there is no gain, and the risk is huge, and if the operation is not good, it will collapse.
After Zhang Liang's analysis, Ouyang Shuo even suspected that this was the true purpose of the Silver Hand.
If you take the initiative to give up, you will have a sense of the sea and the sky.
"There's a lot we can do to get the attention of the enemy in Morocco, and Java, Johor and Pi are all good targets." Zhang Liang suggested.
Naturally, the decision on how to deploy it is up to the Military Aircraft Department to decide.
"As a word of caution, if you don't want the Somali province to follow in the footsteps of the Moroccan province in the future, you have to do something, and quickly." Zhang Liang finally said.
Don't forget, across the sea from the Somali province is the Arab Empire.
Based on the above judgment, the Military Aircraft Department secretly discussed for a day and a night, and finally finalized the final combat plan. Early the next morning, the Great Xia Army, which was scattered all over the country, received a military order and began to take action.
A big war, on the verge of breaking out.
…………
Handan City, the royal palace.
For a few days, Di Chen's mood was very good, and after Algeria officially declared war on Great Xia, Di Chen said with a smile: "Okay, winter has finally passed." ”
The peerless elegance also smiled, and understood Di Chen's mood very well.
"We are not greedy this time, let's take the Northern Xinjiang Province of Great Xia and the Liaojin Province!" Emperor Chen was full of confidence, and when Great Xia was contained, the Northern Xinjiang Army naturally did not take it in his eyes.
The peerless Fenghua nodded, Di Chen was finally not overjoyed, and knew the proportion. Even if Great Xia is besieged, it is still a lion, and it is not something that can be easily challenged.
Being able to successfully win the two major provinces is already a bumper harvest for Da Zhou.
In the future, if the hand of silver continues to exert pressure on Great Xia, he can take Yingzhou Province by taking advantage of the situation, in that case, the dilemma of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be completely solved, and from then on, the sea will be wide and the sky will be high for birds to fly.
"Old fox, see how crazy you can get." Emperor Chen muttered to himself.
…………
Gaia 6th year, March 5th.
In response to Algeria's so-called assistance to the Moroccan royal family to restore the country, the Bactrian Honglu Temple made a positive response, declaring that "the words of the restoration of the country are too ridiculous, and the Moroccan province is the territory of Bactria and cannot be violated." ”
In line with Honglu Temple's remarks, the First and Second Army Corps of the Great Xia West African Army began to assemble on the eastern border, which was naturally interpreted by the outside world as, "In the face of the provocation of the Silver Hand, Great Xia responded to the battle!" ”
As soon as the news came out, the world boiled.
After the exposure of the Silver Hand, players around the world only felt a chill; The subsequent exposure of the blue badge made ordinary players feel desperate, and bluntly said: "This is by no means a world I am familiar with!" ”
How could they have imagined that the world should be so dark?
In this case, the Great Xia Dynasty, which had always been unable to get along with the hand of silver, coupled with Ouyang Shuo's background as a civilian, suddenly became a light in the darkness of ordinary players.
When the Atlantic Fleet is "insidiously" routed by the Silver Hand, the player is worried.
Algeria's declaration of war has pushed the global situation to a peak of turmoil, and players are waiting, waiting for how Great Xia will respond, whether it is war or peace.
The player's mood is conflicted.
They hoped that Great Xia would not be cowardly and follow the hand of silver to do it; They were also worried that the Great Xia Force would not be able to catch it and be insidiously wiped out by the Silver Hand, in that case, they would have no hope.
Da Xia's response, players are naturally discussing.
…………
In the next few days, the armies of the Great Xia began to move frequently, assembling towards the city with a teleportation array. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Daxia is preparing to fight the country and defend its territorial integrity to the death.
This is very much in line with the consistent style of Great Xia.
The silver hand got the news, and finally put his mind at ease, and no longer had any scruples.
"After all, it's a young man, he can't stand the excitement, and he will explode when he touches it." Number One is in a good mood.
After determining that Great Xia was really going to do a big job, under the organization of the Silver Hand, the Mediterranean Coalition Army accelerated its buildup to Algi City, and a large amount of supplies arrived at the front line.
The Spanish Armada, the Portuguese fleet, and the Gallic fleet assumed the task of blockading Morocco's western seas. Originally, they were going to block even the Strait of Gibraltar, but with the intervention of Atlantis City, they finally gave up and didn't go too far.
Fortunately, as long as the west coast is blocked, the Moroccan province will do nothing at sea.
I have to say that Da Xia owes Atlantis City a great favor this time, and if it were not for Kalia's intervention, Da Xia's next plan might not be implemented so smoothly.
When stepping up preparations for the battle of Morocco, the Silver Hand also instructed the countries of Java, Johor and Pyu not to take the initiative to attack, so as not to make Great Xia scruple and dare not devote himself to the Moroccan battlefield.
As Ouyang Shuo speculated, the Silver Hand attacked the Moroccan province and occupied the place second, and the real purpose was to start a war of attrition with Great Xia and drag Great Xia down.
Historically, however, there have been superpowers that have been dragged down in this way.
"It's time for the show to begin!"
…………
On the night of March 7, the Strait of Gibraltar.
In the thick of the night, more than 100 merchant ships constantly shuttled between the base point city and Tangier city across the strait. Under the unified dispatch of the Governor's Yamen, a large number of materials and precious belongings were quietly transferred to Jidian City.
The Moroccan province can be lost, but the base city must be saved.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on the other, the city not only has a dense and perverted fortification, but also two battle puppets unique to the Atlantic civilization.
Even the port of Gibraltar is garrisoned by remnants of the Atlantic Fleet. When the Atlantic Fleet went to sea to patrol, it left half of the formation here to guard the home, becoming the only survivor.
And after that brutal naval battle, the Atlantic Fleet was canceled, and the magic power submarines that survived the battlefield were quietly transferred to the port of Gibraltar.
Through the faint moonlight, you can see that on the high mountain cliff to the west of the base point city, a huge stone sculpture of a human head has gradually taken shape, and it will be completed in another week.
That's a stone sculpture by Álvaro.
Álvaro's death in battle was the biggest loss of Great Xia, which made Ouyang Shuo grief, this foreign general, finally chose to live and die with Great Xia, which was the reappearance of the soul of the Great Xia army.
It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo instructed Jidian City to carve such a stone statue to permanently commemorate Álvaro's exploits and deeds, and encourage the Great Xia army to continue to move forward.
In the face of a war fortress like Basics City, which has no defensive dead ends, and a teleportation array that is connected to the interior of the dynasty, it may be more difficult to take it under the silver than to take the province of Morocco.
In this way, Ouyang Shuo's determination to protect the base point city was strengthened.
In order to reserve enough war materials for the base point city, Ouyang Shuo personally came forward to contact Kalia and asked Kalia to intervene in the enemy fleet and make it withdraw from the Strait of Gibraltar.
It can be described as well-intentioned.
In Ouyang Shuo's words, "Just keep a spark in the Mediterranean, sooner or later, we will kill and come back again." ”
Blood debts can only be paid in blood after all.
At the same time as the supplies were being delivered to the city, the Third Army of the West African Army was also stationed in the city.
…………
At night, Tangier Marina.
A young woman, surrounded by a crowd of officials, looked at the busy port and was stunned. Through the dim lights of the pier, it can be clearly felt that the woman's figure is a little sluggish.
"My lord, do you really want to abandon it?"
There were Moroccan officials who still did not understand the decision of the imperial court.
The young woman is none other than the new Duke of Great Xia, the Governor of Morocco, Mulan Yue, and her feelings for Morocco are only deeper than those of her officials, but she has no complaints.
"The imperial court's decision was right. Morocco is isolated overseas, and its background is insufficient, and it cannot stop the enemy's attack at all, so it is better to let go as soon as possible. Mulan Yue's voice was calm, and no one could see through what she was thinking.
"It took a lot of effort for the Moroccan province to prosper today, and it's a pity to give it up like this." The officials only felt unworthy and sorry for the Governor.
Mulan Yue smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
As the first player governor of Great Xia, Mulan Yue has long known how to make trade-offs, and even more so how to abandon personal feelings and stand at the height of the imperial court to look at and judge right and wrong.
"Let's go back!"
Mulan Yue took one last look at the departing ship and turned to leave.
"Moroccan provinces, after all, there are people she can't give up, such as hundreds of people in the province......"
With this evacuation, it is impossible to take everything away, and only officials, senior craftsmen, and other scarce talents are eligible to return to Shanhai City through the teleportation array.
The remaining ordinary people can only be left to die and die.
Mulan Yue must rush back to the city of Rabat as soon as possible and stick to her post until the last moment of the battle.
