The economic arguments of the courtiers did not affect the preparations for war against Sithro and Kaman and the Three Kingdoms, and everyone knew that if the threat of the Liberians could not be completely eliminated, the Tang Empire would always have a sharp sword hanging over its head, and once some unexpected situation occurred in the empire, the Liberians could make a comeback at any time, and now conquering them could at least reduce this danger to a large extent.

Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu both recommended to Wufeng and the Privy Council the suitable candidates for the Northern Expedition in their minds, Cheng Dayou, Song Tianxiong and Shenei became candidates, originally Mu Lige was also a suitable candidate, but he himself politely declined this opportunity that might bring him glory, for him, after a long northern campaign, the matter of beating the water dog is no longer meaningful, in contrast, he and Kang Jianguo are interested in representing the empire to expand in the New World, especially when they learn that the powers of the Western Continent have begun to strengthen their colonization in the New World, their interest is even stronger, the Marine Corps is obviously unlikely to be competent for such a grand project, and the war on land is ultimately decided by the Army, which Mu Lige and Kang Jianguo firmly believe。

It should be said that the Lulong Arsenal and the Lahore Arsenal, which were built solely by the central government of the empire, were quickly put into production and opened the prelude to the renewal of the imperial army's equipment. The Sixth Legion and the Eighth Legion will be the main armies that may be engaged in the Battle of Liboa and the battlefields of the New World.

At the same time, the Yuhang Arsenal built in Yuhang also began to put into operation, this arsenal was funded by the imperial central government 70 percent, and at the same time, the remaining 30 percent of the funds raised by the national debt funds were used to invest in the construction, mainly for the production of military equipment for the imperial navy, and also marked the initial formation of the three major military industrial enterprises in the seven major military industrial systems of the empire.

At Cui Wenxiu's request, Wu Feng finally agreed to Cui Wenxiu's opinion on the recovery of Nan Meili, in fact, this opinion caused considerable controversy in both the Imperial Privy Council and the Government Council, Bo Jinchen supported this proposal, but Ling Tianfang and the Government Council both opposed, Wu Feng also hesitated about this, and finally reluctantly agreed to the war plan under the condition that Cui Wenxiu promised that it would not trigger a large-scale war with West Oran and Yudelan, but Wu Feng also left a tail for Cui Wenxiu after agreeing, requiring that Cui Wenxiu must choose the right time and report to the Imperial Central Committee for approval before starting a war, and not allowed to launch it without authorization, which also made Cui Wenxiu extremely depressed, but fortunately, he finally won the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, which was not satisfactory, he thought that his plan was likely to be vetoed, and even Bo Jinchen, who supported his plan, was not optimistic.

In view of the fact that the production capacity of the newly put into operation of the Lulong Arsenal has been exhausted by several army corps of the empire that are about to launch the Northern Expedition and hike the New World, and there is no potential to reequip the equipment required by the army stationed in the Central Continent, Cui Wenxiu strongly requested the establishment of a military factory in Luxor, where the industrial capacity of the Central Continent is more developed, to speed up the Empire's army rearmament plan in the Central Continent, this plan was strongly supported by Qin Tieliu, the Governor of Meli, and the industrial and commercial class of Meli, and the Economic Development Department of the Imperial Government Council finally agreed to the plan of building a new military-industrial complex in Luxor after obtaining the approval of the Imperial Privy CouncilSixty percent of the capital will be invested by the empire, and 40 percent will be invested by local businessmen in Meili, to build a military industrial enterprise with a comprehensive surname, which will produce all kinds of weapons and equipment not only for the army, but also for the West Sea Fleet, which will be built soon.

However, although Luxor has a strong industrial base, it is of course impossible to let the newly built military-industrial complex start large-scale production in a short period of time, such a military-industrial complex not only needs comprehensive planning, but also needs to be carefully arranged on the issue of security and confidentiality, which is also the main reason why the Ministry of Economic Development has not been able to easily decide and to seek the opinion of the Imperial Privy Council, fortunately, the Imperial Privy Council also takes into account that the Baltic and Aegean coastal regions will become more and more important to the Empire, and in order to ensure the interests of the Empire in this region, it is necessary to have a strong army and navy, especially the naval force is more importantAllowing the newly approved West Sea Fleet to appear in the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea with a brand-new attitude and advanced equipment as soon as possible will play a very important role in deterring the surrounding powerful neighbors and safeguarding the rights and interests of the empire.

On August 19, 702 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the Ninth Army of the Empire, which had completed its preparations, and the reorganized Doton Army joined forces to launch a full-scale offensive in the northern part of the Crescent Peninsula.

It should be said that Kim Jong Yang and the Doton Corps chose a very good time, because the Imperial Navy's Great Oriental Fleet frequently conducted large-scale military exercises near Kamchatka Island and Treasure Island, and even conducted landing operations exercises with the Kingdom of Milan near Treasure Island, which made Tachihara Mountains and Rivers seem to realize the approaching crisis, not only to station a large number of Japanese native land forces on Treasure Island and Kamchatka Island, but also the land force on the Crescent Peninsula has also dropped to an unprecedented level, which also creates the best conditions for the Imperial Military Operations on the Crescent Peninsula。

On August 21, 702 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, under the cover of the Ninth Army of the Empire, the Dotun Legion broke through the fortress built by the Japanese at the throat of the Crescent Peninsula - Niuguan Fortress, and controlled the gate of the Crescent Peninsula in one fell swoop. Immediately after the Ninth Army and the Doton Army, the main fortresses built by the Lianke Wa people on the west bank of the Crescent Peninsula, such as Zhuguan, Maguan and Fenghou Pass, were crushed and retreated to the southernmost tip of the Crescent Peninsula, and finally the whole army was destroyed.

The battle lasted no more than twenty days, everything seemed to be unexpectedly smooth, the mountains and rivers of Tachihara were not even too late, he did not dare to draw troops from Kamchatka Island and Treasure Island to counterattack, he now needed to consider how long Kamchatka Island and Treasure Island could hold out, and whether his rule on Kamchatka Island and Treasure Island would not affect his dominance in the Japanese mainland once it collapsed, and areas like the Cook Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, he had not hesitated to abandon them, and he did not even want to put a single soldier there.

Wu Feng glanced lightly at the document presented on his desk, he didn't even bother to look at it, these people knew at this time that they had come to ask for peace and surrender, which made him feel a burst of nausea, these guys who bully the weak and fear the hard are more powerful and cunning than anyone else, and when they see that the situation is unfavorable, they think about how to preserve their strength to the maximum, this kind of people will only add trouble to themselves if they let them stay.

"Su Qin, what is your opinion?" Seeing that his deputy prime minister seemed to be thoughtful, Wu Feng knew that the other party must have some ideas, but he didn't think that Su Qin was mentally retarded enough to be ready to accept the other party's conditions.

"Your Majesty, the minister just thinks it's a little funny, these guys should have come to surrender when Doton and Poole collapsed, but they always have a glimmer of hope, as if they hope that the empire will forget about them, or they still want to see what happens to the Sithro and the Kamans, but they never thought that Kim Jong Yang would suddenly give them this, and now they finally can't sit still. Su Qin shook his head, "Your Majesty has also read their request, and is willing to return all the occupied territories, but he wants us to guarantee their freedom of trade, and not to sanction them, and his tone is quite hard, and people who don't know still think that we have lost the war." ”

"Hmph, these Japanese people are like this, and treachery is common for them, but we have to admit that if it weren't for the treasure island and Kamchatka island that drew too many troops from them, Niuguan would not be so easy to take, and I read the battle report sent by Kim Jong Yang that the Japanese people's will to fight is still quite high. Wu Feng nodded, "Now that the initiative is in our hands, how to go under the knife depends on our attitude." ”

"Is Your Majesty going to let them go?" Su Qin was a little surprised, as far as he knew, His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to have a good impression of the Japanese people at all, except for the Japanese women, except for the Japanese women, in this case, it didn't seem to be His Majesty the Emperor's style to sacrifice the occupied territory and die down.

"Well, why not? Let them return the treasure island and Kamchatka to us first, and then wait until we completely take the treasure island and Kamchatka into our hands, and then talk about the rest, they have occupied the land of the treasure island and Kamchatka for so long, don't they need to pay the price?" They can do that, can't we do the opposite?"

Su Qin had a chill, it turned out that His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of accepting this peace letter at all, everything was just a pretense, everything would be exposed as long as the treasure island and Kamchatka Island were recovered, and the other way would be reciprocated, and there was indeed not much morality between countries, not to mention that it was still a country that liked the same methods, which could be regarded as retribution.
