Ran Ciyan forced Ouyang and the New Ninth Brigade to join his command, which really caught Ouyang and the others off guard. However, after some analysis by Deputy Chief of Staff Arnold, Ouyang did realize the shortcomings of the Shanhe Party today, especially the shortcomings in intelligence.

However, for the development of the intelligence organization, Ouyang and Arnold can only wait.

The development of intelligence is not a matter of overnight success.

It requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and a lot of time to be able to achieve certain results. There is a way to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the temporary forbearance to take refuge under the command of Ran Ciyan still has a lot of benefits for Ouyang.

No, within a few days, Ran Ciyan ordered someone to send a large amount of weapons, equipment and materials to the New Ninth Brigade.

"Brigade commander, this is a slap in the face for us first, and then for sweet dates!"

Arnold laughed.

Ouyang nodded and said, "Yes, but this sweet date is much more than we imagined!" ”

There are really a lot of weapons, equipment, materials and medicines sent by Ran Ciyan.

Enough to equip a regiment!

For a while, Ouyang, Arnold and others were all emotional.

I think that at the beginning, Ouyang held Yu Jackie Chan's approval in his hand, begging his father to tell his grandmother to whisper and beg everywhere, but he couldn't bring in a little bit of weapons and ammunition. In the end, thanks to the help of the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Shangguan Sinan, Ouyang was allocated a battalion of equipment.

At that time, Ouyang, who was fed up with endless humiliation, let alone how happy he was!

However, now, Ouyang looked at the equipment in front of him, and the fluctuation in his heart was really very large!

Accidentally!

What a surprise!

"Brigade commander, if I hadn't understood your ambitions, I would really not have been able to resist the attack of Ran Ciyan's sugar-coated cannon!"

Arnold said with a smile.

Faced with the equipment of a full regiment, Ouyang did not hesitate at the moment and took these things unceremoniously.

It's a bastard if you don't take advantage of it!

In the next few days, Ouyang continued to lead his troops to conquer the city and conquer the left line of the Lanlong Kingdom, defeating a large number of Lanjun troops, and advancing towards the hinterland of the Lanlong Kingdom in an orderly manner.

The attack of the main force of the temporary 8th Division also won one victory after another.

In short, the offensive of the Left Route Army showed a great momentum!

But.

The main force of the expeditionary force in the middle of the road area, facing the Zaran Army's Newhatun Defense Line, facing the 1st and 2nd Legions of the Arashi Army led by Grand Duke Tulip, did not make the slightest progress at all.

And yesterday, the main force of the expeditionary force suffered a defeat!

The Lan army seized Ding Jiu, the commander of the 13th Army of the Tang Army Expeditionary Force, whose characteristics of great joy and great achievements were defeated, and one of his brigades was defeated in the first battle. If it weren't for Ding Jiu's subordinates, who desperately covered his evacuation, Ding Jiu, who was born in a powerful family in the Tang Dynasty, would have been captured alive by Lan Jun.

Ding Jiu's fiasco couldn't help but make the morale of the main force of the expeditionary force plummet!

As the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Zhai Songpo was so angry that he almost didn't have his back on his back, and the first thing he said was to shoot Ding Jiu.

But he was dissuaded by many officers.

Ding Jiu, after all, is the son of the three powerful families of the Tang Dynasty, and his background is too big, so in the end, this matter will be over.

If this had been an ordinary person, he would have been shot a long time ago.

The middle lane army, it is difficult to advance an inch!

Zhai Songpo said coldly: "If we can't break through the Cowhatton defense line again, then our expedition will usher in another failure!" ”

~~~~

Compared with the decline of the Middle Route Army, the three columns of the Right Route Army fought impressively.

After several days of continuous operations, the Third Column relied on the superiority of three-dimensional operations on land, sea, and air to defeat the troops of the Lan Army in succession, with as many as eight divisions.

Not only did it successfully sweep away the battlefield in the eastern part of the Lanlong Kingdom, but it also occupied more than 80% of the ports in the eastern region, almost completely controlled the coastline of hundreds of kilometers, and ensured that the follow-up troops of the Tang Empire could successfully land in the Lanlong Kingdom from the sea.

But that's all!

The central region, the hinterland of the Lanlong Kingdom, is their most core area, and its troops and defenses are extremely strong; Most of the troops fighting were elite, and the commander-in-chief of the three columns went to the official Sinan, and even though he tried his best, it was difficult to break through the defense of the Lan army.

On the right front, there is a stalemate.

"Niuhatton Defense Line, if we don't make a breakthrough, then my Tang Empire will never be able to conquer the Lanlong Kingdom!"

Shangguan Si Nan said in a deep voice: "After all, our Tang army is far away from the homeland, the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the Lan army, if we can't break through the Oxhatton defense line within a month, then our morale will drop sharply, and we will definitely be counterattacked by the Lan army." ”

Regarding Si Nan's words, the officers and soldiers under his command all nodded solemnly in agreement.

The national war is fought with comprehensive national strength.

Now the expeditionary force is fighting with more than 100,000 troops in the Lanlong Kingdom, and the ammunition and materials consumed every day are all massive, which is very huge. No matter how powerful the Tang Empire is, it will definitely not be able to drag on such consumption!

Therefore, another suggestion was made at the moment.

"Plunder the wealth and materials of the people of the Lanlong Kingdom, enrich my Tang Empire, and enrich our Tang Army Expeditionary Force!"

This suggestion has just been put forward, and it was immediately strongly opposed by the lawsuit!

It was very common to invade and fight and plunder the wealth of the people of the enemy country, but the Tang Empire disdained to do such things.

I've never done anything like this before!

Even when such things happened, the officers who did them afterwards were invariably dealt with severely. Liang Yiren, the former commander of the 103rd Regiment of the Tang Army, once issued an order to plunder during a long-distance attack behind enemy lines, causing hundreds of casualties among the enemy people and committing a heinous crime.

In the end, the party behind Liang Yiren also paid a great price to save Liang Yiren's life and was directly demoted from the position of regiment commander to company commander.

After several years, Liang Yiren regained the post of commander of the 103rd Regiment.

But now, because Liang Yiren was cheated by Ouyang, he is only the deputy head of the regiment now.

"In the 39 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, from a small country with a land area of only 100,000 square kilometers, to today's 1.1 million square kilometers in one fell swoop, defeating powerful countries and nations, relying not on how well we can fight, but on our military discipline, and on our style of not committing any offenses with the people!"

This sentence came from the mouth of the Führer Ran.

Looking at the entire Central Continent, only the Tang Army has done this.

——There is no offense with Minqiu, and he will never plunder the people of other countries!

June 15th.

New Ninth Brigade.

At this moment, Ouyang was in the war room of the brigade headquarters, worried about the next battle of the Tang Army. As Ouyang judged, it is simply impossible to conquer a country in a short period of time by relying on military strength alone.

Throughout the history of the world, there have been cases of direct conquest of a country by relying on a strong military like Nazi Germany, but there are definitely not many. During World War II, the Japanese army's military strength was much higher than that of China, but it still failed to conquer our tenacious Chinese nation.

To destroy a country, in addition to being strong militarily, it is also necessary to completely destroy the enemy's political, economic and other fields.

"I can fight, but when it comes to economics and politics, it's my weakness, and it's not Arnold's strength."

Ouyang couldn't help but sigh.

"Report~~!"

At this moment, a foreigner with eyes and a little bowed walked in.

This person is the Nobel laureate in economics and the greatest economic master of the 20th century - Milton? Friedman!
