Chapter 467: Southern Xinjiang Strategy (II)
As a nascent regime. As a founding master, especially a founding master who has a heavy army in his hands and is self-reliant, he must do something after becoming self-reliant!
There is no other reason, such as this type of regime is always a little congenitally deficient, neither in terms of reputation nor legitimacy, it can be compared with that kind of self-made regime! To put it bluntly, if he Xue Chunfeng didn't hold such a heavy authority and caught up with such a good time, it is really difficult to say whether he would be the emperor or not!
Moreover, this kind of vicious act of splitting the country will definitely be suppressed and attacked by the imperial capital regime in the most severe way! The two sides have been in a non-ending ending since the beginning! Otherwise, the prestige of the central government will be lost!
However, Xue Chunfeng had already seen the chaotic situation in the political arena of the imperial capital, and calculated that he would never be attacked by the empire with all his might in the short term! That's why I made a bold bet this time! And it turned out that he was right!
Of course, if you don't make a move in the short term, it doesn't mean that the other party will really not move him! Zhu Zhaoyuan and the six great families are not fuel-efficient lamps, and it is impossible to let such a large piece of land split up without asking! Just wait for the domestic political disputes to be separated, and then it will be his turn!
With the strength at hand, it is still a little difficult to confront the full military power of a superpower, at least not for now!
Therefore, whether it is for self-preservation, or to justify his regime and establish the legitimacy of his own position, he must do something to achieve the goal of consolidating his position!
The most convenient and fastest way is to start a foreign war! As long as you win a few battles and expand your territory, your reputation will increase dramatically! With the increase in strategic maneuver space, the country's geopolitical security situation will also be effectively improved!
Outside of southern Xinjiang, in addition to the Xuanluo Federation adjacent to the east, it is the vast and boundless Prison Soul Star Sea, as long as a large piece of territory can be circled here, the new regime will have a stable rear, and in the future, whether it is to deal with the Shuofeng Empire or the Xuanluo Federation, it will have enough confidence!
Moreover, this area is mostly an inaccessible force, with the huge elite army of the empire in his hands, plus his own command skills, he doesn't think that anyone can resist the front of the new regime!
Therefore, he already has a fixed idea of the next choice of the new regime, and to present it to his subordinates at this time is only to show his humble attitude of being open-minded!
One of the lieutenant generals stood up and said, "Your Majesty! With our current strength, it is still a little difficult to start a war with the Empire! Moreover, most of the officers and soldiers in the army are from within the empire, and there will be emotional resistance! Therefore, the most suitable choice is to continue to go south and attack the Prison Soul Star Sea! ”
His name is Geraldine, and he has been with him for many years, and knows more about his temperament and preferences. Moreover, he is quite talented, so he can naturally see the current situation of the new regime.
Xue Chunfeng nodded, and looked at the others again.
Most of the hundreds of high-ranking generals in the conference room expressed their opinions. More than seventy percent of the total number of people are in favor of going south. The rest of the people, some of them were worried that after the main army went south, the empire behind them would suddenly attack, so they advocated holding the troops for a while and observing for a period of time.
Some propose to unite the Yilong Empire, eat the Xuanluo Federation together, and divide its territory equally! Once successful, you can add more chips to the new regime, and then you don't have to worry about the pressure of the Shuofeng Empire again!
Such a point of view cannot be said to be unreasonable, but for Xue Chunfeng, it is not in line with his wishes. So it is destined not to be adopted by him!
"Zhu Yin! Do you have any comments? Xue Chunfeng looked at a fatter young lieutenant general not far away.
This man rose through the ranks in the last Borosto War, commanded the fleet under him for several years, and had a good relationship with each other, and his talents were outstanding, so he was also strongly recruited by him.
Zhu Yin hesitated, stood up and said:
"Your Majesty! If our fleet moves south, it will inevitably come up against that Starlight Kingdom! The lord of the country, Yun Haoyu, has worked with Your Majesty before, and he should understand that he is not a mediocre person! I'm afraid this battle is not so easy to fight! ”
Geraldine said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Excellency, don't forget, that kingdom has only been established for a few years, and it is all barren and backward star fields, although the territory is large enough, how much strength can it have?" Can fight against our elite in a hundred battles? ”
"The fact that he was able to establish such a regime in just a few years in an almost rags-to-riches manner speaks in itself of extraordinary ability!" Zhu Yin retorted.
"Then you mean to say that our legion is definitely inferior to him? Even our majesty is not as good as him? Geraldine said coldly.
What he said was a bit ill-intentioned! The eyes of some generals looked at him and suddenly became subtle!
Zhu Yin was unmoved by his obviously provocative words, and insisted: "Your Majesty, the minister has no such meaning!" The minister said that for such a character, you must be cautious! At the beginning, you have to do your best to kill with the power of thunder! Don't let him take advantage of it! ”
"Even if he's strong enough, so what?" Geraldine said disdainfully:
"How many decent fleets can a regime that has not been established for a long time have? How many high-level abilities? Can it compare to us? ”
"Don't forget! Since the last incident, hundreds of thousands of the Empire's elite Praetorian Fleet, as well as a large number of Extraordinary Beings, have all belonged to him! Zhu Yin said lightly.
Xue Chunfeng raised his hand slightly, stopped the dispute between the two generals, and said with a smile:
"Regarding Zhu Qing's doubts, I have fully considered them! Although Yun Haoyu is young, his ability is unquestionable, and being able to get to this point is enough to prove his excellence! I never meant to despise him! ”
"The most effective fleet commander under him is that Tian Xuanhao! Except for this person, no other generals are worried! Every time he went on a campaign, he relied too much on this man's commanding talents! The Starlight Kingdom can have today, he is definitely indispensable! This is also Yun Haoyu's biggest weakness! ”
"This time, I will personally lead the troops and hold this man down! Then send your right-hand men to make a detour and attack the kingdom's capital directly! As long as you can successfully achieve your goal, you are done! ”
"Isn't there any other good commander in the Starlight Kingdom?" Zhu Yin asked suspiciously. "I heard that his former adjutant, Yang Wentao, is also able to lead troops to fight!"
"Even if he commanded the fleet a few times! But after all, he's just a nameless junior, no matter how strong he is, he won't be stronger than Tian Xuanhao, right? Xue Chunfeng said disapprehantly:
"And I would like to remind you that this kingdom has not long been established, and there is no time for the domestic star defense system to be perfected! This is again an Achilles' heel! As long as you break through their borders, you can enter the kingdom's capital unimpeded! ”
"I will personally lead the army, and I will strike first! Strive to take it down in the shortest possible time, if we want to develop, this regime blocked at our doorstep must be destroyed! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! The generals responded in unison.
With the full cooperation of the Clone Organization and the Imperial Security Department, Xue Chunfeng's intelligence forces at hand did not play much of a role! At least, he didn't know that in the kingdom military, there was more than one senior commander who had the strength to compete with him, Tian Xuanhao!
Yang Wentao's talent is not necessarily inferior to him, as well as former Federal Marshal Cameron, and later added a Wu Yankun, and recently, even Guo Qiuxian, Blucher and other former imperial generals have also thrown themselves under the banner of the kingdom!
If he knew that even an imperial god like Gurlons had promised to serve the kingdom, then some of his thoughts might really change! At least not immediately choose to attack the Starlight Kingdom!
Of course, he is not a mediocre person, in view of the weakness of the Starlight Kingdom, he decided to dispatch the main force to attack the kingdom's capital in a preemptive way, and replace it with an ordinary nascent regime, this move is enough to be fatal!
The asymmetry of the intelligence forces of the two sides doomed him to a tragic end later!
On October 18, Xue Chunfeng personally led two million elite fleets of the empire and seventy alien legions to attack the Starlight Kingdom!
At the same time, he also sent another 400,000 warships, led by Zhu Yin, as a partial division, and chose another channel to march! The two fleets echo each other from afar, after breaking through the border, they will attack separately, if the battle situation is smooth, they will meet near the Tengyuan Star Field, and then encircle the royal capital!
Although he didn't think the war would last long, to be on the safe side, he still left a third of the fleet at home, lest the Shuofeng Empire behind him suddenly attack and raid his base while he was leading his troops!
The fleet of the Starlight Kingdom set out on the nineteenth, one day later than Xue Chunfeng! However, with the excellent performance of the intelligence system, the high-level of the kingdom at this time had already learned about the opponent's troop movements!
"This guy really has two brushes!" Yun Haoyu said with a smile, "I actually took the initiative to attack, if we hadn't received the news in advance, we would indeed be a little passive next!" ”
Tian Xuanhao snorted: "I want to fight with him alone to see how much ability he has, is he worthy of the name of that marshal!" ”
Yun Haoyu glanced at him: "Okay! Now is not the time to be angry! Let's sum it up, how to fight this battle! ”
Even if you learn about the opponent's battle plan, the next kingdom fleet will inevitably have a hard battle! After all, the more than two million fleets are all from the elite of the superpowers, and with Xue Chunfeng personally commanding, this hard bone is not so easy to gnaw!
Now that the other side has preemptively launched, the original battle plan must be adjusted! Originally, Gurungs planned to choose the decisive battle site in southern Xinjiang, but he didn't want the other party's elite to leave the solid star defense system and take the initiative to send it to the door, and the difficulty of this battle has actually been reduced a lot!
If you can eat all this elite fleet outside the southern frontier! Then it will be much easier to attack and occupy the entire southern Xinjiang next, right?
After several discussions, the new plan was quickly finalized, and the huge formation of 1.8 million warships under the command of Gurungs left the Tengyuan Star Domain and headed for the predetermined battle area!
