Episode 14 The Convention's Determination
Of course, the autonomous group knows something about Kopo Province, and their intelligence system began to collect information about Kopo Province several years ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 So as soon as I heard Connell's complaint, someone on the side immediately answered.
Tang Long flipped through the information and introduced it to everyone: "According to the information we have before, although the Jiapu Kingdom is not large, it has a powerful Xiuzhen ruling force. The total population of the island is less than 10 million, of which 100,000 are monks. Although there are many islands in Kopo Province, there is very little land suitable for farming, and the main economic and food source is marine fishing, which can only meet the basic needs of survival, which is why so many people have volunteered to become pirates. According to intelligence reconnaissance, the army of the entire Kopo country reached one million people, all of whom were pirate troops, including 70,000 or 80,000 monks and soldiers, and their strength was indeed very strong. ”
"Seventy or eighty thousand monks, so many!" Den exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, after all, the standing army of the Republic was only more than 300,000, and the number of monks and soldiers among them was only more than 60,000. However, Gui is much larger than Kopo and has more threats from its neighbors, and in comparison, Kopo is completely a soldier.
"Hmm. Tang Long frowned, and said with a solemn face: "In addition to the relatively large number of troops in the Jiapu Kingdom, their high-level monks are said to be quite a few, and their leader, the Black Wind King Ma Xilai, is a monk in the early stage of the infant realm, and has fought many times with the previous King Gui, and has also killed several Dan Realm monks of the Gui Kingdom, and his strength is not trivial." Moreover, he also has five leaders under him who have cultivated to the middle and late stages of the Dan Realm, and these people are also difficult to deal with. What's more, the monks of Ranjiao Island were extremely skilled in naval warfare, and the Gui and Yue kingdoms had also organized attacks on them before, but they were all defeated in naval battles. So it's not easy to defeat them!"
Hearing Tang Long's analysis, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn, and they couldn't help but worry about the upcoming battle.
However, the main battle of Modern and Schroeder did not think so. Schroeder said confidently: "Guys, don't be so pessimistic, okay? We are not as incompetent as the Gui army in the past. In my opinion, I have a victory rate of more than 60 percent in defeating the Kopu army!"
"Sixty percent, what do you think?" Connell asked with a little dissatisfaction, it was precisely because Schroeder and Modern took the lead in voting in favor that Congress passed a declaration of war, so Connell was naturally a little unhappy with them.
Schroeder said disapprehantly: "Think about it! Although the Republican Army now has only 100,000 men, once mobilized, it can immediately recruit 100,000 to 150,000 loose cultivators back to the army, so that we will not lose to them in the number of monks, let alone the mortal army." And after these two years of national cultivation training, the number of low-level cultivators we have has increased several times. And now we have so many new weapons, equipped with new rifles, artillery, and warships, and the power of bullets and shells is much stronger than before, and even a few first-order monks can defeat the higher-level monks with our modern weapons! In comparison, what is so great about those pirate armies? A single salvo of our fleet can bury them all in the sea!"
Modern excitedly added, "That's right, and we don't need to completely occupy the entire Kopo country and wipe out all the pirates. We just need to defeat them in naval battles so that they don't dare to attack our shores and fishing boats with impunity, and this should not be difficult to do with our strength, right?"
After listening to the analysis of the two, many people suddenly felt that their eyes lit up, as if they had seen the defeat of the Republican Army in the country of Koura, and they were not optimistic.
But Arden shook his head lightly and said, "Even so, I still feel that something is wrong. Have you not seen how eager the Gui and the Four Tribes are to wage war? They have been actively lobbying the people to support the declaration of war, and have repeatedly put forward bills in the Diet asking the Republic to protect the safety of the people.... When will these two tribes know how to defend the interests of the people? There must be something wrong with this!"
"What's so strange about that? They, as the opposition, are of course on the opposite side of us," Schroeder said. There's nothing wrong with trying to use the sentiment of the people to rally support and expand their position in the Diet, right?"
Arden shook his head and said, "No! I don't think it's that simple. Danny, tell everyone about the information you've gathered!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Danny. The young head of the intelligence service of the republic took a deep breath and said: "That's right. In the past month or so, the private armies of the Gui and the four ethnic groups have been intensively conducting training and have ordered a lot of weapons and equipment. Also, a week ago, an intelligence ship we deployed in the southern seas gathered intelligence, and found that two UFOs had appeared in the southern seas, and the direction they were heading was in the direction of the pirate headquarters on Ransho Island!"
"UFO? What is it? Is it a monster or an airplane? It can't be?" Schroeder asked curiously.
"According to the intelligence agent's report, those two rays of light are extremely familiar with the Dan Realm Monk, I think these two UFOs are very likely to be the Dan Realm Monk of our Gui Kingdom!" Danny said with such certainty suddenly.
"Our monks? Who could it be? There are only a dozen monks in the Dan Realm in the whole country, except for Linda, all of them are from the Gui clan and the four clans, so could it be that one of the two major forces has secretly joined forces with the pirates of Troubled Reef Island, and is ready to take action against us?" Schroeder suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help but get nervous.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the entire venue suddenly shivered like cold water.
Arden nodded and said, "It's very likely! After all, although these two tribes are superficially obedient to us, they are actually extremely hostile to us, and it is not surprising that they want to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters!"
The venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone's hearts were filled with all kinds of thoughts as if they had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.
In the end, the old Arden broke the silence and instructed the people: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are once again in a tense and critical period, and no matter what intrigues and tricks the Gui and the four clans have, we must not allow any situation that undermines our government. Danny, you continue to strengthen the surveillance and intelligence of the two clans, and report to me as soon as there is news!"
Danny snapped his fingers and nodded in affirmation.
Arden turned to Modern again, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Modern, since you like to fight, then prepare well and give us a battle that we must win!" Modern was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and nodded vigorously.
Finally, Arden said, "There are also infant monks in the country of Jiapu, and we are not afraid! I think the commander-in-chief of this expedition to the country of Kopo will be served by Lin Dalai. Now, it's time to ask Linda to come out of retreat!"
