"Oh, Claudia, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm glad you can have such an opinion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoNo problem is absolute, it needs to be looked at in two, and this is certainly the case with the Bai Yin barbarians, and the same is true for Li Wufeng. Li Wufeng's current army can be described as strong in the Tang River Empire, although Situ Tai has the first and second corps, but according to my observation, in addition to the Northwest Corps in charge of Li Wufeng, his Northern Luzon Legion and the Southern Terok Legion are not weak in combat effectiveness, and the Tengger Legion, which has not yet been replenished, is estimated to be not bad in combat effectiveness, which can be seen from the third heavy cavalry division. The four legions had exceeded 400,000 horses, plus his two Guards Divisions, and the newly formed Regiment in India, and the servant army, the Nomadic Cavalry, which numbered about 200,000, and his regular army had exceeded 750,000, of course, in terms of establishment, and the exact amount should be around 700,000. ”

"In terms of quantity and quality, Li Wufeng's military power has far surpassed that of any side of the Tang River Empire, even compared to us, I estimate that it should be between the best and the best. But Li Wufeng is not an iron fighter, and he also has his own weaknesses. First of all, if he wants to integrate the strength of the entire Tang River Empire, he lacks a righteous righteousness, the Tang River Empire represented by the Situ family has been based on the Eastern Continent for hundreds of years, and their orthodox status is deeply rooted in the minds of the Tang people, and it is not easy to untie this knot, and the Tang people are the most orthodox, and if the name is not right, it will not be good, and everything will be done with half the effort; second, as you said, Li Wufeng's choice of a foothold in the northwest has certainly given him the opportunity to train his army, but the weak economy and the numerous enemies around him have made him bear the same pressure from all sides, and if he wants to support more than 700,000 troops, it is impossible to rely on his current economic strength alone, so he can only choose to expand outward, but expansion will attract more enemies, these enemies are either overt or covertly watching from the sidelines, only waiting for the opportunity to pounce, so it will become a kind of evil surname cycle, Li Wufeng can only continue to strengthen his military strength to prevent it, every action must also be forward-looking, a little careless, it will lead to a domino reaction, which is also a normal reaction to his overexpansion. However, it is very likely that these two unfavorable factors will be reduced and resolved one by one by his means, but for now, he still has to hold his tail for a while. Nick knew that the other party wanted to know what he thought of Li Wufeng, who had gradually become the Kamans' worst enemy, and he didn't hesitate to point out.

Nodding thoughtfully, Claudia looked like he was being taught, Jiang is old and spicy, and while acknowledging that the opponent's military strength is strong, Nick also pointed out the opponent's weaknesses, which made the leader of the Royal Guard greatly admired, although he also vaguely saw some, but it was not as thorough as the other party's analysis.

"Then since Li Wufeng can't compete with us in the short term, why is Ni Shuai sullen? Could it be that Ni Shuai thinks that the army in the center of the Tang River Empire will cause us trouble?" Claudia then asked with a frown.

"No, I'm not bothered by that, I'm thinking about our logistics. There are many times when the enemy is often unable to defeat us, and we ourselves will be defeated by ourselves. Nick replied lightly, "This year's drought seems to have come too violently, and there seems to be no part of the entire Eastern Continent that has not been affected, and I am very worried about whether there is a problem with our domestic reserves, and the Prime Minister has already sent a letter asking us to raise grain and grass on our own, which is the first time in the world." If we are asked to raise grain and grass on our own, wouldn't that be a disguised way for us to go to the occupied areas to collect them, which will inevitably worsen the situation in the occupied areas, and our relations with the people in the occupied areas will also be tense and even lead to riots. ”

As long as the important surname of the logistics problem is clear to people who know a little bit about military affairs, Claudia naturally understands better, especially in the case of a large army expedition, this problem is even more serious, the commander's words have hinted that there is a problem with domestic logistics support, and now it needs to be solved by the occupation army itself, which is a very rare thing for the Kaman army, as the prime minister, Gomez has always hoped to gradually conquer the Tanghe people and their land through the means of grace and power, but now it is solved by self-collection, which is undoubtedly contrary to the original intention of the prime minister, which can only explain one problem, logistics support in addition to the big problem, and quite a serious problem.

Without asking what was going on in the country, Claudia asked the core of the question: "Ni Shuai plans to collect grain and grass in Longquan and Montenegro?"

"Well, with this plan, Black Mountain and Longquan have been tossed enough by the Taiping Sect, but we don't plan to harvest anything, just grain and grass, so we only need to stay here in September after the grain harvest, collect enough grain and leave. Although there is also a drought here, there will always be some harvest, and we will find a way to collect some surplus grain from the people, and then we will pat our butts and leave, and leave this mess to the Tanghe people to solve by themselves. I'm not the Prime Minister, and I'm not interested in ruling this land yet. ”

The tone of Nick's words seemed so flat, but Claudia knew that behind these few words, the fate of nearly two million ordinary people in Montenegro and Longquan had actually been decided, and they had already suffered two consecutive seasons of drought, even if some of the harvest was not enough to train themselves to make ends meet, if most of the grain and grass were forcibly collected again, how would these people live from autumn to next summer?

Seeing a trace of unbearable hesitation flashing on Claudia's face, Nick said with a cold face: "Claudia, sometimes kindness to outsiders is cruelty to oneself. As far as I know, the Tanghe people in Longquan and Longquan in Montenegro no matter whether we go to collect grain and grass or not, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive this winter, these grains may be a lifesaver for our army, but for nearly two million people it is a drop in the bucket, there is no endless road, they can go east to south or even west to migrate and exile, to escape the famine, isn't there Yanjing of Tanghe people in the east, well, or Cangzhou a little further north, there are also much richer Hejian Jinzhong and the five lakes in the south, and Li Wufeng in the west is not full of grain and grassThe road is ahead, it depends on whether they will choose. ”

Claudia was shocked again, this trick was really vicious. The grain of the two provinces of Longquan and Montenegro will be wiped out, and only need to firmly hold the pass to the north, these people who cannot survive can only become displaced people, and these millions of displaced people will bring huge survival and security pressure to the local area no matter where they go, not to mention that the interior of the Tang River Empire is everywhere in the famine, and I am afraid that the mutiny, war, and riots will immediately envelop the Central Plains land of the Tang River people. No matter where this situation occurs, it is what their side is happy to see, but I don't know how many unjust souls and bitter ghosts will be added on this escape road.

Licking her lips, Claudia's eyes flickered, and her voice was hoarse: "Ni Shuai, the homeland is difficult to leave, the people of Tanghe have always had this tradition, if you want to force them to leave home and go into exile, I am afraid that it will not be easy, and maybe it will provoke a ;;;;;;civil uprising."

"Claudia, let me tell you, you are the commander of the Royal Guards of the Kaman Empire, not the representative of the Tang River people! The fate of these people does not need you to worry, how did you become so indecisive?! If it weren't for the Prime Minister's disagreement, my opinion would be to implement this method in both Pinglu and Qinghe, drive the Tanghe people south and east, and let them go to dog-eat-dog, the more chaotic the Tanghe people are, the more beneficial it will be for us, and it is even more undesirable for us to be able to cause the forces of all sides of the Tanghe people to attack each other. Do you really think that we will be able to peacefully assimilate the Tanghe people in these occupied areas at this time? Even our own food is not enough, and we still have the heart to take care of them?!"

"But Ni Shuai, the Prime Minister's original intention was to recover the hearts and minds of the people in the occupied areas of the Tang River, and I think it is too short-sighted for us to do so, because in this way, we will never be able to win the hearts and minds of the people in Montenegro and Longquan, and these two places are precisely our springboard to enter the Central Plains, which is very unfavorable to our next plan. I think the methods of the Machihans in the south are more suitable, for example, in Baling. Claudia stood respectfully upright, but she was not overwhelmed by the words of the other party, and defended herself.

Instead of being angry, Nick really likes this unruly guy a little, and being able to use the Macedhans' strategy in the south as evidence to prove his point is also an improvement, at least it shows that this guy is not limited to his own country.

"Claudia, you are not unreasonable, but you have to remember that Baling is in the south, the people in the south of the Tang River Empire are relatively weak, and they are rich in grain, and the food crisis is far more serious in the north, and more importantly, when the Maqi Khans were in Baling, the famine had not yet occurred. The circumstances and timing of our life are very different from those of the Machihans, so our response must also change. As for the people's hearts, hehe, Black Mountain Longquan won't even have the people, how can the people's hearts come?" Nick showed a hideous and cruel smile on his face, and said with a gloomy smile.
