Chapter 154: The War between the North and the South (6)

"Obviously, it's a risky move."

At the military meeting in Tawantin, the Grand True Gong Fu said, "But it's also a good move."

He pointed to the map and said, "It is said that the enemy is outside the country, and you can't always fight on our territory, but you can also fight on their territory."

"The mechanized legions of the Holy Court are undeniably extremely combative, and it is difficult for us to resist without the city as a backing. However, the Steam Legion of the Holy See has a great drawback, that is, it is extremely dependent on logistics for supplies. The Mission of San Antonio is the largest supply depot for the main army of the Holy See, and supplies from San York and San Francisco are concentrated here.

"This military council is to establish the determination to defeat Laredo and to capture the mission of San Antonio."

Qi Xuansu and Huang Fuji also attended the meeting.

"Of course, many Daoists are worried about the enemies outside Moncloix and del Rio, and this concern is very reasonable, but we want to ignore the enemies in Germany and Mongolia and concentrate on attacking Laredo, and then seize the San Antonio Mission, which is empty of troops and has no danger to defend. As long as we take San Antonio, then the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands."

No one expected that Gong Fu, who had always been cautious, would go against the norm and become so aggressive.

On the contrary, the always radical Huang Fuji raised a more conservative question: "If you fight a tough battle, you can't attack it for a long time,

If logistical supply is difficult, and if reinforcements from both sides arrive, we will be exposed to the enemy on our backs, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

This is not surprising, in fact, it has something to do with the position of the two.

After Daomen made his attitude clear, Gong Da Zhenren, who was in charge of the matter, was under considerable pressure, and his situation was somewhat similar to that of Milton, but he was more composed than Milton and did not have a hot brain. In fact, Gong Fu didn't dare to take the risk, but to see if the risk was worth taking.

Now, he wants to prove one thing to Daomen, Xidaomen respects Daomen's opinions and attitudes, and decides to give up expanding the situation, not to be impossible, so he can't just defend and not attack, but also turn defense into offense.

The reason is not complicated, even if you can't let the Daomen pay attention to it, you can't let the Daomen despise it, if you keep letting the Holy Court press and fight, relying on the procrastination trick to drag the Holy Court to withdraw the army because of financial pressure, then what will the Daomen think?

Just like you, you rolled your eyes when you were pinched by the Holy Court, bragged as soon as you let go, and dared to expand the situation to coerce the Daomen?

Daomen is bound to reconsider the positioning of both sides. Maybe it will be difficult to ask for money from the Daomen in the future, because his value has been lost.

It's important to look at the door.

This battle has to be fought beautifully and with more value.

In the same way, the Holy See knew that the financial pressure was very high, and it still had to force the attack, mainly because the headquarters of the Ministry of Evangelization was blown up, and it was a big shame, and it had to save face, and there was no other way out.

This is a political issue, not a purely military one. In other words, the military is an extension of politics and serves politics.

Huang Fu did not directly participate in the war, but was in charge of logistics and intelligence, and there was no way to expand the situation

Yes, he simply reckoned with the military, and this time he was conservative for the sake of being more radical next time.

It can only be said that the focus of the two people's thinking is not at the same level, and conservative and radical can also be transformed into each other.

Gong Fu replied: "It is indeed a bit risky for us to attack the San Antonio Mission, but the capture of San Antonio can bring about a big change in the overall situation, and this overall situation not only refers to the battle situation, but also includes the observation and influence of the Yujing side and the Holy See. If you want to take a risk, I think it's worth the risk, and at this critical moment, you should put aside your worries and do not hesitate."

On the other side, Joseph and Robert were also discussing this issue.

"For Gong Fu, this is indeed a dangerous move." Robert pointed to the map and said, "Laredo itself has little impact, and behind the key Laredo is San Antonio, a plain, unsafe, and a railroad

The main artery, once Laredo is lost, then the Tawantine army can take the steam train north and quickly reach the outside of San Antonio."

Joseph nodded: "I see, risks and opportunities coexist, it is a dangerous move, but also a good move."

Joseph paused: "Your suspicions are not unreasonable, but it depends on the character of the manager. If the manager is a man who loves to go off the rails, I believe he will take the risk of attacking Laredo and then pushing on San Antonio. But the boss is Gong Fu, who has always been cautious, and he shouldn't have such courage."

In this way, Joseph set the tone, and Robert could only obey.

For the next period of time, Milton's battle with Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji continued.

With more and more people

The movement, the movement is getting bigger and bigger, and the ministry of the gospel is not eating dry, but still found something wrong.

Alex came to Milton's office and reported to Milton: "According to other information, the line from Monterrey to Laredo Sul suddenly became more frequent at night, more than three times more than before, and on the Brownsville side, there were also ships departing at night. Is there something new in this? Or was it said by Lord Abraham that Tawantine wanted to attack Laredo?"

Milton couldn't help but be shocked, and came to the map: "What do you mean, do you really want to attack Laredo?"

Then Milton immediately ordered: "Inform 'Cuckoo Bird, that she should immediately find out about the situation and report it immediately."

An archbishop hurried away.

Milton was a little irritated and slapped his palm on the desk.

I only heard the "rustling" sound, like eating mulberry leaves, and the entire desk immediately turned into ashes, as if the things in the desk had never existed.

Milton's order was naturally placed on the table of Qi Xuansu and Huang Fuji.

Qi Xuansu spoke first: "This is expected, such a large-scale transfer of personnel and materials, and the Holy Court is not blind and deaf, it is almost impossible to be completely undetected by the Holy Court."

"Brother Qi Dao thinks what to do?" The Emperor asked, "The wording is harsh, it seems that Milton is in a hurry."

Qi Xuansu looked at the map and fell into deep thought: "There is no railway between Monterrey and del Rio, such a large-scale railway transportation can be said to be for the attack on Germany

It's hard to say that Del Rio is preparing, and the movements of Brownsville have nothing to do with attacking Del Rio."

Qi Xuansu paused slightly, and then had an idea: "We put on a posture to attack Del Rio, the original intention was to attack the east and the west, and the real purpose was to cover the main attack on Laredo. Let's just reverse it, let's just say that the transfer of personnel and materials on the part of Monterrey and Brownsville is actually a suspicious formation, deliberately attracting the attention of Del Río's side, intending to lure Del Río to send troops to aid Laredo, which is actually covering the main attack on Del Río."

"Then we deliberately exposed a few flaws, so that the enemy would think that we were secretly cultivating the plank road, and let the Holy Court think that Laredo was the 'plank road, and del Rio was' Chen Cang. In fact, it's the other way around, Laredo is the 'Chen Cang, and Del Río is' plank road."

Qi Xuansu reversed the true intention and the false intention, true and false, false and real.

Huang Fu clapped his palms: "Okay, just do it." Don't rush to reply to the information first, reply with a little stuck, let our people move first, set up suspicious arrays, and wait until the Holy Court detects these suspicious arrays, and then cooperate with our intelligence, the effect is better."

In the middle of the night, the entire temporary headquarters of the Ministry of Evangelism was still brightly lit.

Milton was sitting behind his new desk, his face gloomy, and he no longer had the calmness he used to have.

At this moment, the archbishop hurried into his office: "'The cuckoo bird has replied.'"

Milton's spirits perked: "Yes."

The archbishop hurriedly said, "Monterrey and Brunsville

The build-up of the personnel is to cover the movement of its main forces,

It is intended to mislead the Holy See."

Milton breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "It seems to make sense."

The Archbishop sent another piece of information: "Our men have spotted traces of what appears to be a camp of alchemists in the direction of Del Río, and it seems that a large portal is being built."

This reaffirmed Milton's wavering confidence.

In fact, Milton already had suspicions, but at this time he had no way out, he could not believe it, he did not dare not believe it, he had to believe it, he did not dare to overturn his previous conclusions, and any piece of information that could support his conclusions was like a shot in the arm.

He is like a gambler who has gambled red-eyed, desperately betting, going all the way to the dark, hoping for a miracle to happen.

Will a miracle happen? Of course not.

Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji on the other side are also ending.

With all the preparations completed, as long as the palace master gives an order, the battle of Laredo will start. At that time, Tawantin's true strategic intentions will be exposed, and there will be no need to continue to cover.

In other words, the drama between Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji is about to come to an end.

Judging from the results, so far, the Holy See has not increased Laredo's troops, but has only placed a mobile force between Laredo and Del Rio, intending to support either side at any time.

The current situation is that there is a railway between del Río and San Antonio, there is also a railway between Laredo and San Antonio, but there is no railway between del Río and Laredo, there is only a Rio Grande.

The Steam Corps of the Holy See, without the railroad, was not as fast as the cavalry.

I am afraid that both sides will not be taken care of.

Qi Xuansu can be regarded as a complete success

into a task.

For this reason, Gong Da Zhenren also commended Qi Xuansu on behalf of the West Daomen, because Qi Xuansu is not under the control of the West Daomen, and the personnel aspect cannot be expressed, the focus is on other aspects, the West Daomen gave Qi Xuansu a secret that is not passed on, and the second half of the "Tangtai Fist Intention" passed on by Tai Tai Yun - "Three World Holy Fist".
