Chapter 378: The Vanishing Imperial General
The territory of the empire needs to be expanded, the people of the empire need living space, the empire needs more cultivation resources, and the empire needs to seize more time and space to lay the supreme foundation for the conquest of the heavens. β
This is the opinion of all the soldiers and people of the empire, without exception.
Now, after the wisdom of the people is widened, the people of the empire need the importance of living space for the empire.
He also understands that the abundant cultivation resources are even more indispensable for the empire's Tianxia Buwu plan created because of cultivation.
This was the content of the Empire's Southward Expansion Plan, which was also one of the several strategic plans formulated by the Empire at its very early days.
In fact, not only at the beginning of the empire, but also when Yingji had just taken over as King of Qin, he already had a rough plan for the conquest process of the main world in his heart.
It also lists the main routes and plans of the Imperial Iron Army after the establishment of the Empire.
Among them, there are three strategic plans: the southward expansion plan, the westward expansion plan and the northbound plan.
The main force of the southward expansion plan is the Southern Theater, with at least two corps and at least 200,000 soldiers as the attack to ensure that there are still enough troops to garrison and occupy after the capture, and to ensure the control of the empire.
The main content of the southward expansion plan was to rely on the Southern Theater of Operations, the imperial army to advance into Southeast Asia, occupy Southeast Asia and the Indochina Peninsula, and hold the Straits of Malacca and other choke points, so as to lay a guarantee for the empire to rely on the navy to send large-scale military power to Europe in the future.
The westward expansion plan is to take the Western Theater as the main force, and at least three legions of 300,000 troops will be invested to cross the desert and take many areas where civilization has begun to develop in the Western Regions.
And directly insert from central India, take the whole territory of India, expand the scope of the empire to West Asia and the Middle East, and even directly take the Persian Gulf if it goes further.
The plan to go north was to use the Northern Theater as the main force, with three or four corps, that is, 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers, starting from the North Sea (Lake Baikal) region, running over the frozen soil of Siberia, and ending with the expansion of the empire's sphere of influence into the Ural Mountains.
This is the first phase of the Empire's expansion plan for the Overworld!
In fact, for the first phase of the expansion plan, Yingji has long wanted to launch it.
But helplessly, because the imperial treasury is now almost depleted, and the military budget is even more tight, the imperial ** team is about to get to the point of living with calculations.
It is really impossible to support the simultaneous operation of the three-way expeditionary force, and I am afraid that it can only be launched after the six million gold transferred from the other world in three months will be transferred to the treasury to enrich the treasury.
However, among the several major plans, only the southward expansion plan could not be delayed, and now the empire's cultivation resources are becoming increasingly tight, and the depletion of resources is accelerating.
If the resources are not read, the Empire's plan to deploy the world may be terminated due to a shortage of resources, which Yingji cannot tolerate.
In addition, among the plans for the three directions of the empire, the southward expansion plan will obtain the most value and resources, and it is the most profitable plan.
There is also the need for the Imperial Navy, all kinds of things, prompting Yingji to decide to start the southward expansion plan in advance.
Now that the troops are vigorously fighting and the army is being cleaned up, the several corps in the Southern Theater that look like they are about to start the battle are the best portrayal.
......
"Alas, I don't know how my brother has been doing lately, it's really worrying!"
At this moment, Wang Ling, the deputy governor, suddenly sighed, remembering his brother Wang Ling, who had disappeared in the empire for a long time and had not appeared for a long time.
"The deputy chief don't worry, His Majesty must have had his own considerations when he transferred General Wang Yi back to Guanzhong, and maybe it was not impossible to make a steady progress. β
Looking at Wang Ling, who looked worried, Huang Xie said comfortingly.
It is hard to imagine that these two former enemies of the battlefield would one day shake hands and even work together.
You must know that Huang Xie was once an important figure in the Qin coalition army of all countries in the world, and he once personally led the army to storm Hangu Pass and fight against Wang Ji, but now he is serving one master and becoming a robe.
Sure enough, in response to the old saying, enemies become friends mostly for survival, and friends become enemies mostly for profit.
"What the great military division said is extremely true, a certain brother has overcome obstacles for the empire, made countless military exploits, and made great achievements, even if there are rumors that the brother is calculated, a certain family will definitely not believe it. β
"But it's not just a certain brother, after the creation of the empire, the formation of five major theaters, seventeen legions, and the first expedition, many famous generals suddenly disappeared in the empire, which is really weird. β
And without exception, these vanished generals all received an appointment before they disappeared. β
"βAn order from the imperial capital Xianyang!"
Speaking of this, Wang Ling couldn't help but look up in the direction of Xianyang in the north, his eyes were full of worry, that was the worry of his brother.
Although Wang Ling knew that the current Wang family was the first military family in the empire except for the imperial family, and the underground dependence was very heavy, Wang Ling was still a little worried.
"Indeed, I really don't know where all those famous imperial generals and new stars have disappeared?"
Perhaps affected by Wang Ling's worrying mood, Huang Huangxie also sighed and said.
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Mu beside the two also fell silent.
As the deputy governor Wang Ling and the military division Huang Xie said, after the creation of the empire, such as the white-clothed divine shooter Xue Rengui, the invincible Su Lie, the new military god of the empire Li Jing, the young Huo Qubing of the Yongguan Three Armies, Wei Qing, the dragon city general who led the army to attack the Xiongnu Dragon City, and Wang Ling's brother Wang Ji and other famous generals of the empire have disappeared.
And once someone inquires, all they get is the result of shaking their heads without exception.
Everyone understood that this must be the result of His Majesty's personal order and strict secrecy.
But where have these vanished imperial generals gone?
- but no one knows!
Whether it is the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the sons of the hundred schools of thought, or the people of the world, they can only blindly guess, because His Majesty is playing a game of chess, a big game of chess.
Of course, what is the situation, which is right and which is wrong? Who knows?
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Grand Army Division, it's useless to think too much, let's work hard to train the army and prepare for the southward expansion plan that the empire will fully roll out after January. β
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Mu said loudly.
"Haha, it is worthy of General Li Mu, indeed, it is useless for me to dream here now, it is better to devote our energy to the training of the army. β
"As for those famous imperial generals who have disappeared, I believe that they must have been entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty. β
Hearing Li Mu's words, Huang Xie also said with a hearty smile.
"I believe it!"
"I believe it too!"
Following Huang Xie, Li Mu and Wang Ling also spoke.
It was a trust in the Empire, a trust in His Majesty, a trust that came from the depths of my heart. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "The Rise of the Empire of the Heavens and Worlds", " ", talk about life, and find a confidant~
