"Ladies and gentlemen, maybe you think that I am much more timid and timid than in the past, and even I myself have asked myself many times, where is my ambition and courage, how can I think twice before I look forward to every battle?" Wu Feng's face was also full of deep thought, as if he was pondering what it was like," Without him, the bigger the empire, the more contradictions, the greater the risk, the current Tang Empire seems to be extremely powerful, the military is at its peak, and the people are in their hearts, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the undercurrent lurking below still does not want to overturn the empire all the time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I can't help but regret a little sometimes that the pace of the empire is too big and too fast, and almost all of them are expanded through wars, the wars are continuous, the empire has little time to digest and assimilate, and at present, about half of the territory in the empire's territory has not really been integrated into the imperial system of power, and it is completely dependent on military force and the customary surname of the local administrative system to maintain the system, and to completely reverse this situation, it is impossible to do it without more than ten years. ”

"However, the empire has come to this point and there is no way to retreat, whether it is the Liberians or the Maqihans, they can't wait for the empire to digest these areas before they come to attack, they also know that now is the most critical time for the empire, as long as the empire can be defeated at this time, the empire may fall apart, and lose the territory outside the empire itself, the empire is at most a regional surname power, and can no longer threaten their survival, this is their wishful thinking. Therefore, we must not underestimate their determination and will, otherwise we will make a terrible mistake. We can't let them get their wish, we have to meet this challenge, and only by defeating them once and for all can we truly make the empire stand forever in the east of the continent. Wu Feng's emotions seemed to have become a little excited, and he rarely used gestures to express his feelings, and he couldn't help but wave his right hand violently to show his determination at this time.

The words made the five people present a little restless, to be honest, everyone including Liang Chongxin had not yet raised the seriousness of the problem to this level, almost all of them thought that the empire could complete a war in the south that was not too large in scale and intensity, weakening the war potential of the Maqi Khanate, and forcing them to withdraw from Romanesia, Yuejing, Even if the Liberians in the north want to make a move during this period, the time is too short, and secondly, the Liberians are unlikely to launch a full-scale war of southern invasion because of this opportunity, and when the Liberians are fully prepared, they are afraid that the war in the south should be over.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are ill-conceived and have a negative grace. Seeing Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen standing up to apologize at the same time, Liang Cuimu and the three had no choice but to get up and apologize together.

"That's it, Tianfang, Jinchen, you two are not as good as Chongxin Wenxiu and Lige, you need to look at the overall situation, consider it holistically, once we make a move against the Macchihans, the Liberians will definitely not let go of this opportunity, I can assert this! So we have to prepare for the worst. The military forces in the northern region are insufficient, and any attack by the Liberians from that part is likely to lead to quite serious consequences. Attacking from the east will directly force the hinterland of Gyeonggi and Yanjing, and the empire will shake, and its impact can be imagined, and from the west, it is possible to cut off the connection between the empire mainland and the Central Continent, and what will become of the Central Continent at that time? The Western Regions, the Tengger Grassland, and even Meili may undergo changes that we did not expect, and perhaps our many years of operation will be ruined, and we will have to think about it thoroughly. Wu Feng sighed.

Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen were both figuring out the meaning of Wu Feng's words, according to His Majesty the Emperor's inference, the north of the empire still needed to replenish at least one or two legions of army, even if one army could be transferred back from the southwest, I was afraid that it was still a little weak, and it seemed that His Majesty had the idea of expanding the army.

"Your Majesty, the Southwest and South China Sea regions can withdraw the First Army Corps, which can be used in the southern battlefield to speed up the progress of the war, or placed in the north to strengthen the defensive forces, but in general, the northern defense forces are still a little weak, unless we increase the number of troops again and reorganize one or two corps. Ling Tianfang cautiously said that the Imperial Council and the Privy Council had reached an agreement on the issue of military expansion, and if it was overturned at this time, it was very likely to be opposed and criticized by the Imperial Council.

"Well, the First Army Corps will be transferred to replace the Sixth Army Corps stationed in the South China Sea to deter the South Sea Alliance, and the Second Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps will serve as the main offensive force on the Eastern Front of the Battle of Ronnesia, and strive to take Ronnesia as quickly as possible! In addition, I have decided to reorganize the former Principality of Gerok Defense Army and the Empire's undemobilized troops into a legion, and in addition to the Central Continent, there are the Meli Army and the Punjab New Army to form a legion, and these two legions should be established immediately, one is ready to prepare for the war with the Liberians in the future, and the other is to prepare to take over the defense of the Gerok Legion, so that the Gelok Legion can withdraw and return to the Empire to participate in the war. ”

As soon as Wu Feng's voice fell, Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen exchanged glances, although the two of them also knew that it was imperative to expand the army, but the expansion of the two legions was still expected, if it was proposed by the Privy Council, it would definitely be opposed by the Government Council, but His Majesty the Emperor personally proposed it, it would be much better, even if it would cause some controversy, it would be much weaker.

"Well, Your Majesty, the minister and the right envoy Bo all agree with this opinion, but now the numbers of the various legions in the empire are still a little confused, and I don't know if they need to be readjusted? In addition, is there a suitable candidate for the commander of these two legions? These questions need to be determined immediately so that the work can be carried out immediately. Ling Tianfang immediately answered.

"Well, the Gerok Legion was renamed the Twelfth Imperial Legion, and the Indean Legion was renamed the Thirteenth Imperial Legion, based on the original division directly under the Gerlok Legion, and the Merry Descendant Army and the new army next to it were selected to form the Fourteenth Legion, the commander of the corps was Sha Lang, and the former Gerok National Defense Army and the Imperial Integrated Army were formed into the Fifteenth Legion, and the corps commander was Qu Bo. Wu Feng thought for a moment and then made a conclusion: "The formation of the Fourteenth Army and the Fifteenth Army will be issued in the name of the Privy Council immediately, Sha Lang will immediately take office, pull up the Fourteenth Army in the shortest possible time, and transfer the Twelfth Army back to the Northwest County, Qu Bo will immediately form the Fifteenth Army to replace the Eleventh Army, and the Eleventh Army will advance to Gelok County to deploy defenses, and strengthen the northern first-line defense together with the Fifth Army and the Tenth Army." ”

After this arrangement, Wu Feng didn't talk nonsense, and turned his gaze to Liang Cuimu and the others: "Chongxin, I appointed you as the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, under the jurisdiction of the first, second, third, sixth, and Tiger Guard five corps, with full authority to command the war against the Maqi Khan, the plan I just proposed is just a general surname, if you feel that there is something wrong or the battlefield changes need to be adjusted, everything is subject to your opinion, I will give you two months to prepare, one blow will be successful, I will give me one fell swoop to take Ronnesia, Yuejing, Anjie, completely destroy the war potential of the Maqi Khan. I hope you can solve the war in the south as quickly as possible, but I don't set a time limit for you, I hope you can do it yourself. ”

"Wenxiu, Lige, I have appointed you two as the chief and deputy commanders of the Northern Theater of Operations, under the jurisdiction of the fifth, ninth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth corps, plus six ranger regiments, Three heavy cavalry divisions (the heavy cavalry division of the Third Army has been transferred out to become a direct heavy cavalry division) and armored beast troops, you two have to take on the combat mission of the entire northern theater of operations, the early stage may be mainly defense, but it may evolve into a full-scale war in the middle and late stages, you must be ready to fight a full-scale war, you must be prepared to fight with the army of more than one million Liberas, I will also inform the Bains that they should also immediately enter a state of combat readiness, once a war breaks out, they will respond to us from the rear, I have informed Watt on the side of the Rope, and asked him to draw another 60,000 rangers from the standing army of the Rope, as a flank reserve, if necessary, I will also drive the expedition in person and be on the front line!"

A series of appointments shows Wufeng's unquestionable determination, time waits for no one, Wufeng is bent on completely solving the problem of the southern Macedhans before the Liberians are fully prepared, at least to destroy the war potential of the Maqihans, cut off the military power of the Maqihans, and make the Maqihans a second-rate weak country, ready for the next step to completely solve the Maqihan, but they have to prepare for the worst, in case the Maqihans desperately resist and the war falls into a stalemate, then the Liberians will be quite passive when they intervene.

When the two prime ministers of the Imperial Council received the summons, it was already a foregone conclusion, and Wu Feng directly informed Xiao Tang and Su Qin of the intelligence department's information and the decision he had made, and asked the Government Council and the Ministry of Finance to immediately make proper arrangements, and the funds were immediately allocated in place to provide financial guarantee for the two newly built corps. At the same time, Wu Feng also asked Su Qin to immediately make preparations for a visit to the Triple Alliance to ensure that the Triple Alliance would remain neutral once war broke out.

This was the first time that Wu Feng had shown such a strong attitude on the issue of army expansion, and he had hardly consulted the Government Council, although Xiao Tang and Su Qin both had some ideas, but in this case, they could only obey and quickly put into action. And the Privy Council has already taken the lead in action, large-scale military mobilization and material replenishment, the deployment of army officers, two to three months, it is indeed a little tense, but the war waits for no one, the only hope is that the war in the north will not break out as His Majesty the Emperor predicted, and it will be best if it can drag on for one or two more months.
