Episode 43 Preparation of the Blue Star Country
The Qin State attacked the Chu capital Shouchun, killed the Chu king Xiong Tong, and launched a full-scale attack on the Chu State, all of which happened overnight. When this news was transmitted back to the Blue Star Kingdom, it immediately caused a shock to the whole country. The Blue Star Treaty Council immediately convened an emergency meeting of all members to study how to deal with the battle situation in Dongyanzhou.
In the secret meeting room of the Blue Star Castle, the president of the Convention Association, Arden, Prime Minister Connell, the intelligence chief Danny, the chief of the General Staff Tang Long, the commander of the Fifth Theater Ivanov, the chief scientist Bizet, Leo, the deputy prime minister Sonya, and several other members of the Convention were impressively listed, and even Linda and Schroeder were urgently recalled from the front line.
"I didn't expect that the Qin State actually launched a full-scale attack on the Chu State, although this is also in the possibility of our prediction, but the time is also a little advanced, right?" Arden closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
Kang Nai on the side said: "I'm not surprised, the Qin State will attack the Chu State sooner or later, but this time is a bit early, which is a bit troublesome, after all, we still have a lot of preparations to complete!"
Schroeder said: "I was surprised by the way of Qin's attack, this time they attacked Chudu, they actually dispatched demon soldiers who had never appeared before, this should be the power of the Black Alliance organization that has been hidden deeply, right? It seems that the strength of Qin, the outbreak of war, and even the previous wars in the countries of Dongyan Continent may have been promoted by this evil organization!"
Danny said with a solemn face, "Well, it seems that is true. According to our intelligence, this organization has secretly done a lot of tricks behind the backs of the countries of Dongyanzhou, planted and supported a lot of chess pieces, and deliberately caused turmoil in the entire region. As far away as the alliance of the four clans of the Yue Kingdom and the Gui State back then, and as close as the Ma Xilai of the Jiapu Kingdom, there is the shadow of this mysterious organization behind these forces. Judging from the various behaviors of this organization, their purpose is likely to be to control the entire human world and enslave human beings at will, such an evil organization must be the enemy of our Blue Star Country, it seems that we must be vigilant!"
Arden nodded, "Yes, there are a lot of grievances between this organization and our Blue Star Country. In the war between us and the Gui clan and the alliance of the four clans, we ruined their major events of performing blood sacrifices to mankind many times. Then they went on an expedition to the country of Jiapu to destroy the Ma Xilai they supported, and now they are directly involved in the war against the Qin state. We are against them at every turn, and this organization must see us as a thorn in their side. It seems that one day, we will have to face the war of this organization against us directly. ”
"Hasn't it already started now?The Qin State is the most powerful force they support, the two countries of Yan and Zhao have been defeated, now as long as the Qin army destroys the Chu State, the next target is us!" Kang Nai slapped the table and said in a deep voice.
Tang Long nodded, pointed to the map on the wall, and said, "That's true. Judging from the current battle situation, the main force of the Chu army has been trapped by the Qin army, and although they may not be able to annihilate the Chu army, it is inevitable that they will be defeated and suffer heavy losses. During this period, as long as the other troops and demon soldiers of the Qin army are inserted into the rear of the Chu State and occupy other important cities and strategic points in the Chu State, then even if the King of Chu is resurrected, then the Chu State will no longer have the power to return to heaven!"
Sonia said strangely: "In addition to the fact that the King of Chu is an infant realm monk, doesn't the Chu State need another infant realm monk?
The two military generals, Tang Long and Schroeder, just shook their heads, while Danny analyzed with a wry smile: "Actually, there should be three infant realm monks in the Chu State, in addition to the King of Chu, Menglu, who led the main force of the Chu army, is also a strong man in the Infant Realm, and the third one sitting in the Chu State is Xiong Zong, the great elder of the Chu royal clan who has been practicing in secret. We have very little information about this person, and it is still unknown how much strength he has and whether he can lead the Chu army against the Qin army. ”
Schroeder, who was on the side, added: "Even if that Xiong Sect is very strong, it is only one person. The Qin army alone has no less than ten infant generals, and the three legions that attacked the hinterland of Chu this time were led by the three infant generals. Ten against three, what do you say Chu Jun can win?"
Hearing such a low evaluation of Chu Jun, Arden said with a worried face: "Hmm... Either way, we'll have to think about the next step. Now that the two countries of Yan and Zhao are not enough to succeed, it is good that they can hold the border area that is close to our country. If the Qin army wants to attack our country in the next step, the direction of the attack is likely to be taken from our border with Yue, let's see, what can we do?"
Tang Long, as the chief of the general staff, naturally has the first responsibility for this kind of problem, he thought for a while, and said: "Speaking of war preparations, now the domestic war mobilization is underway, some time ago we mobilized 150,000 people to form three group armies, but due to financial reasons, the formation has not been completely completed until now. In addition, now that the two armies of the Flying Dragon and the Flying Leopard have been transferred to the two countries of Yan and Zhao, there are only the Flying Tiger Group Army led by me and Ivanov's Fifth Army in China. If the Qin army fights now, it will be difficult to withstand it with the strength of the two group armies alone. And the armament of the army cannot keep up, and the number of main battle tanks and aircraft is not enough ...
Even Bizet, who rarely speaks, said: "Well, in terms of weapons research and development, we also need financial support now. We are now developing a lot of powerful new weapons, and if we can successfully develop them, it will be of great help to deal with the Qin army!"
Sonya, who is in charge of finance, added: "When it comes to funding, I would like to add something about it. The war we waged against Kopo had cost a lot of money, and then it was followed by all kinds of large-scale aid, which amounted to more than a third of GDP. Some time ago, I continued to use troops in Yanzhao and Zhao, but it cost a lot of money to build the Tanzan Railway... If we want to continue to expand the army now, I am afraid that the financial pressure will increase even more..."
Prime Minister Kang Nai listened to the words of Tang Long and the others, and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly. After all, the difficulties Tang Long said have a lot to do with the fact that the national defense funds are not sufficient, and this is the responsibility of the government.
So he had to analyze: "Well, Sonya is right, our finances are indeed a little tighter. But there's no way around it. You must know that we have no way to do it in terms of finance, after all, there are too many types of government expenditures and investments before, and domestic production and construction are also a little unable to keep up... Therefore, in terms of defense spending, it is indeed difficult for everyone..."
"Prime Minister, I don't blame you, of course I know the government's difficulties! But this is only temporary, I believe you must have a way to overcome it, right?" Tang Long saw Kang Nai say this, and he didn't want to embarrass him, so he hurriedly comforted.
Although Tang Long didn't say anything anymore, as soon as he talked about money, many people immediately started talking about it. However, no one noticed that Leo, who also rarely spoke, stopped talking, as if he had his own thoughts on the issue of funding.
However, as the head of the entire Blue Star Clan, the president of the Convention Association, Arden, saw that everyone had asked so many questions, and his face was not much better, and after thinking for a moment, he asked Linda, who had not spoken, "Linda, do you have any suggestions and opinions?
As a front-line commander, he certainly has the best views on the current fighting situation, and at the same time, as the planner of the "Linda Plan" to support the aid work of Kopo and Mermaid Country, he is also extremely familiar with the situation of domestic production and economic conditions.
After thinking about it briefly, he said, "Everyone, I think that although the current situation seems a little bad, it is far from being so bad for our Blue Star Country. ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" asked Arden, who was accustomed to Lynda's constant attention, with a smile.
Linda said: "First of all, it is unlikely that the speed of the Qin army's march will be so smooth. Although the main force of the Chu army was trapped, it was a full 500,000 people, and it was still neatly equipped and had sufficient logistics, so it was not so easy to eat this army. And there were at least 300,000 troops in the territory of Chu, and although these troops may not be able to withstand the invasion of the Qin army, they are enough to buy them enough time for national mobilization. Don't forget, the Chu State is the most populous country in Dongyan Continent, and has the largest number of cultivators, and they can mobilize millions of monks to join the battle. Therefore, it is by no means so easy for the Qin army to destroy the Chu State, and as long as the resistance of the Chu State continues, then it is unlikely that the Qin State will have the energy to divide its forces to attack us. ”
"I estimate that it will take at least a year for Qin to completely defeat the state of Chu. This is also the opportunity for us to grow and develop. On the one hand, we can continue to send support troops to help Yan and Zhao contain some of the main forces of the Qin army, and at the same time vigorously recruit mortals from various countries in the five places of Yan, Zhao, Wei, Chuyue to establish a joint army, mainly guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and cooperate with the armies of various countries to resist the Qin army, this method is enough to contain the Qin army for a long time. ”
"During this period, of course, we must pay close attention to production and construction. In terms of funds and resource supplies, I can communicate with Bai Yu and Sophia, and ask the two countries to give a little assistance, and if necessary, it is not impossible to even ask the two countries to send troops directly to the war. Let's not forget that they are allies with our country. ”
"Of course, we still have to continue to support Yan and Zhao, but we just need to maintain a basic state of support, so that they have to use all their forces to resist the Qin army, and we will develop base areas behind enemy lines in their rear, gather mortals, accumulate strength, and when the Qin State has almost wiped out the strength of these countries, we should also be almost ready. At that time, it will be the moment of the real decisive battle between our country and the Qin State!"
After listening to Lin Da's proposal and assumption, everyone nodded yes, and the war with the Qin State that he expected in the future was also the consensus of everyone, and this battle was not only directly related to the fate of the Blue Star Kingdom, but also the fate of the entire Dongyan Continent.
Eventually, Arden decided, "Okay! Linda is right, let's not rush, there's still time to prepare." However, even if the Qin army launched an attack on us now, we would not be afraid of them! But we still have to be vigilant, such a thing as the sneak attack of Shouchun in the Chu State, I definitely don't want to see it in our Blue Star Country. Also, since it is not yet the time for us to fight to the death with the Qin army, then we will gather our strength back. Linda, Schroeder, the Flying Dragon Legion and the Flying Leopard Legion can gradually withdraw from the base of Changshan City, and it is enough to retain a certain amount of military strength to assist in the defense of Changshan City, and we must build a good defense line in the western border area. In addition, the work of establishing joint forces and developing base areas behind enemy lines in the Yanzhao and even Chuwei regions must also continue to be stepped up, no matter what difficulties there are, we must ensure that a solid foundation of mortal strength is laid in the rear of the Qin army, which is definitely an important support for our Blue Star Country to unify the Eastern Yanzhou!"
