"Yes, I have considered all of your concerns, as you said, Sikkim is now gradually changing its policy, the original non-aligned reading forces are gradually merging into a third force in this region, and this force also has a tendency to unite with the Western Peninsula Alliance to the west, once these two forces merge, it will undoubtedly be a huge obstacle for us, that is, it is better for us to attack before these two forces merge to avoid encountering greater resistance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wu Feng responded.

"But Your Highness also has to think about it, now that Sikkim has obviously acted as the protective umbrella of Nan'an, Western Samoa and Soktu, if we take any military action, this is a challenge to the status of the alliance in the Sikkim region, Sikkim will definitely not sit idly by, with Sikkim's current military strength plus the military strength of Nan'an and Western Samoa, can only one Eighth Army Army achieve its goal? If it gets caught in a battle, this is probably not a good thing for His Highness to launch a war in the Sanjiang or Romanesia regions, right?" Bo Jinchen shook his head, obviously disagreeing with his sovereign's opinion, "Besides, now that the western Indean region has also consumed a lot of our military strength, if we fight in the southern Sanjiang and Ronnesia, we already lack sufficient reserves. ”

Seeing that Wu Feng didn't speak for a long time, Bo Jinchen was a little anxious, and further said: "Your Highness, multi-faceted combat is originally a taboo for soldiers, and once the front line is lost, it may affect the multi-faceted battle situation and cause the overall passivity. However, under the premise that our empire's national strength has comprehensively surpassed the enemy's strength, the two-front battle should be bearable, but to deal with the three-front war, it is really not enough, not only in terms of military strength, but also in terms of financial pressure, if we can deal with the Macedhans first, and in the meantime, through diplomatic means, divide and disintegrate, or delay Sikkim's integration of Nam'an, Western Samoa, and Soktu, and prevent the union of Sikkim and the Western Peninsula Alliance, then our situation may be much better. ”

"Jinchen, you may have thought too much about the problem on Sikkim's side, Sikkim's comprehensive national strength and influence in this region are extraordinary, and now that it has been stimulated by our southward movement to change its strategy, it has made up its mind to recruit Nan'an, Western Samoa and Soktu into its command, I am afraid that it will not be long before a new alliance will appear in our west. ”

"And the Western Peninsula Alliance is already angry that we control the Eastern Peninsula Alliance, and they are also very wary of the great increase in the national strength of the empire, if they can have this force led by Sikkim as a shield for them, of course they are very welcome, they know very well the taste of death, and they will naturally do their best to support it, and it is inevitable to join forces. Although it is not yet possible to give too much military support due to the impact of the war in the west, in my opinion, the war between the Pasha and the Western Peninsula Alliance and between West Oran and Yutlan has been going on for quite a long time, and the Pasha people may need some time to recuperate now, and once the war in the west is suspended, the Western Peninsula Alliance will certainly turn its attention to the east, and at that time, if we want to take this step, we may have to face the confrontation between the third force controlled by Sikkim and the alliance of the West Peninsula Alliance, and the price paid will be many times greater in either way。 ”

"You also know that westward expansion is the established basic strategic direction of the new empire, and the empire must expand westward to expand the circle of interests of the empire in order to promote the further development and growth of the empire, and the enemies of the empire will certainly not be happy to see this, they will definitely do everything possible to stop it, and surprise is the best strategy to exchange the greatest benefit at the minimum cost, that is, to make the other side think that we need to attack the southwest when we take action against the Macedhans to get the best effect, this is my idea. ”

Wu Feng's heartfelt words made Bo Jinchen a little moved, but this was not enough to change Bo Jinchen's mind, as long as he thought it was right, Bo Jinchen would not compromise easily, this was his responsibility and obligation as the right envoy of the Imperial Privy Council.

"Your Highness, maybe the expansion of the empire in the southwest direction is indeed quite urgent, but as the right envoy of the Privy Council, I have to remind Your Highness that the three-line battle is unbearable for the emperor [***], that is too risky, if Your Highness must implement this plan, I think Lord Ling and I will have the same opinion, it is difficult for the Imperial Privy Council to pass such a decision. ”

Wu Feng was stunned in his heart, there has never been a clear and detailed division of the division of military power between the Imperial Privy Council and himself, the future emperor, but in Wu Feng's opinion, his intention should be fully implemented in the Imperial Privy Council to be in line with the imperial national policy, but if the Imperial Privy Council disagrees with his own opinion, how should he decide? Is it to withdraw the decision himself, or will the two envoys of the Imperial Privy Council resign automatically? But it seems that he has not yet reached this point.

After all, Bo Jinchen's opinion is also quite pertinent, the war in the Central Continent has already put him into four legions of land and two ranger regiments, and now there are not many troops left on the mainland, and it is not certain whether the three legions expected in the war against the Maqihans in the south can achieve the expected goal, as Bo Jinchen said, there is a lack of sufficient general reserve strength. However, the situation in the southwest is also urgent, and once the forces of several parties are gathered and the fighting on the Pasha side stops, it will not be easy to plot this choke point that is related to the main transportation artery of the Middle East continent. What's more, in the early stage, he also spent a lot of effort to contact Soktu, and once he did nothing, it is difficult to say whether Sikkim will take this opportunity to pull Soktu into his arms again, which will be wasted.

Fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the easy chair, Wu Feng calculated the troops that could be mobilized in the interior of the empire, if the Third Army was sitting in Yanjing as the Tiger Army, then the Ninth Army could only be said to be reluctant to defend the northern front, especially an Okhotsk region was not only facing the Dodon people who were full of grievances, but also had to guard against the vicious and cunning Japanese people coming to a yellow finch behind, the improvement of the Japanese naval strength made their sea transportation and delivery capabilities have been greatly improved, and the special surname of the geographical location of the Okhotsk region determined that the choice of sea landing was the best way to attack, don't let the Japanese come to a gourd painting scoop performance once, it will really lose the face of the empire.

The remaining Fourth Army is still in the adjustment and replenishment period because of the considerable losses, and it is not bad to be able to defend the front line of Legon and Kutdam, and it is indeed difficult for the First Army and the Sixth Army to make a breakthrough in Sanjiang or Ronnesia, but the Second Army has to be stationed in the south of Wuhu, at most two divisions can be adjusted to deal with emergencies, and they can't hold out too much hope, the Maqi Khans still have heavy troops stationed in the border area of the Five Lakes, and they will not easily let the Second Army casually transfer troops to join the battlefield.

A gecko seemed to be interested in two prey, one of the beetles was trapped by the cobwebs and was struggling, while the other prey was an unknown reptile passing in front of the motionless gecko at a uniform speed, among the two prey, it seemed to make the gecko make a choice, and the gecko finally chose to attack and devour the reptile like lightning, and returned to the scarab that was still struggling in the web.

"Jinchen, what do you think if we let the First and Fourth Army Corps make a feint cover, and let the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps attack Nan'an and Soketu at the same time?"

The flame of Wu Feng's eyes made Bo Jinchen realize that it was definitely impossible to persuade the other party to give up control of this choke point connecting the transportation arteries of the Central and Western continents, and the other party put forward this idea, undoubtedly to prepare to put aside the actions of the Tsushima Khans first, and shift the focus of the attack to the southwest, and when the empire was about to be established, it would be impossible to set off such a war that seemed to be not so reasonable in terms of morality and reputation. As for the Privy Council, I am afraid that many people will immediately question why they would let Huayang and Yushan, who are still in the hands of the enemy, start such a war, and I am afraid that only the Privy Council will bear this black pot.

But now Bo Jinchen can only analyze this problem purely from a tactical point of view, His Royal Highness the King of Qin undoubtedly put aside the possible surnames of this war, but just wanted to get the best tactical choice of the war, which made Bo Jinchen a little depressed.

"Your Highness, if you consider it purely from a tactical point of view, this is of course a good way to hide from the world, with the cover of the First Army and the Fourth Army, I believe that it can attract the attention of Macedem Khan and Sikkim, and launch an attack with two legions, Soktu naturally does not need to doubt how much resistance there will be, and if the Eighth Army launches an attack on the city-state of Nan'an, it will inevitably attract the intervention of Sikkim and Western Samoa, but this battle needs to be resolved quickly. But even if Nan'an is taken, I am afraid that a battle against Western Samoa will run into trouble, and Western Samoa has a deep relationship with Sikkim and the Western Peninsula Alliance behind it, and both sides will probably come to the aid with all their might, and this battle will have to be fought. "Based on the information obtained so far, Bo Jinchen is not sure how much support Western Samoa will be able to get from those two sides, but if the Sikkim and Western Peninsula alliances can react in time and realize the seriousness of the problem, then the final outcome of this battle is really difficult to predict.
