Chapter 352: Three Steps, Take Dongying

"However, how is Jiaguo going to fight?"

"Now Moxico is still fighting in the west, and Dongying is also in chaos in the east."

Ye Lie thought about it and said, "I have a lot of choices. ”

According to Zhang Xingbang, the secret guard of the outside world, they are all very clear about the situation in Dongying and Moxico in the west.

Originally, Sun Xiang broke through the Duchy of France at lightning speed and hit the harbor of Brittany.

But then there were repeated setbacks.

It's not that the tank is not strong, but that it ...... topography and climate issues.

The climate on the Sibia Peninsula is hot, even in winter.

This made the soldiers of the Principality of Moxico, accustomed to the cold of the north, uncomfortable, and when the chariot moved forward to kill, the soldiers stopped.

Together with the support of Celtic, they had to keep the beaches around Brittany safe from logging in.

Although the naval guns were more rubbish, they were always powerful.

Thus the fighting on the west side was delayed.

To the east, Ikeda Shinsho is making steady progress, but it is also slow.

Therefore, Ye Lie knew very well that if he attacked by himself at this time, neither side would react.

Of course, he also felt that Ye Yu was pinching this time very well.

"To the east, first occupy the Xianbei area and fight Dongying."

Ye Yu spoke, "On the one hand, Dongying is weaker than Moxico, and on the other hand, we have to try our current navy. ”

"Navy?"

"Could it be that the ironclad already has it?"

Ye Lie was excited.

"Not yet, but there are types that can be replaced for the time being."

"It's just wrapping a steel hull around a normal ship."

Ye Yu explained, "Although the ironclad ship is good, we can't build more, otherwise we can't afford to eat fuel." So now these ships have to go through some real combat. ”

"So Dongying is the best choice?"

Ye Lie nodded, as if he had some understanding.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to fight Moxico first."

Zhang Detian and Yang Jiang spoke.

This is what the two of them came up with after discussion.

After all, in this secret meeting, everyone can put forward opinions and discuss with each other.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Ye Lie nodded.

After all, this is a rule set by Ye Yu himself, as long as there is reason and evidence, anyone can speak.

"First of all, according to Zhang Xingbang's intelligence, the current situation in Dongying is still a melee."

"Even if it is Ikeda Shinsho, he has not completely occupied the entire territory of Toei, and if we attack at this time, I am afraid that it will not be able to have the effect of training the soldiers."

Zhang Detian said slowly.

"Secondly, Dongying's resources are scarce, even if there is oil in the Xianbei area, we only need to occupy the Xianbei area, and we don't have to fight Dongying."

Yang Jiang added, "Although it was a victory before, most of it was a disastrous victory caused by a lack of numbers. ”

"Well, Ye Yu, tell me."

Ye Lie nodded and turned to Ye Yu.

As long as Ye Yu is reasonable and can convince Zhang Detian and Yang Jiang, it will be fine.

"I know you're thinking about it."

Ye Yu nodded and said slowly, "But we are not going to train the army this time. ”

"That's ......"

"Test weapons, the combat capabilities of the Navy."

He slowly explained, "Take the Xianbei region, build a temporary supply port, and the navy marches to Dongying, and first take down the sea dominance." ”

"This ......"

Zhang Detian nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe I misunderstood His Highness's meaning, if it wasn't for the occupation of Dongying, it would indeed be feasible." ”

"Of course, we want to occupy Dongying."

"Have you forgotten that there's another thing?"

Ye Yu smiled slightly as he spoke, and then slowly spit out two words, "Airship." ”

Only then did they understand what Ye Yu meant.

The navy uses Dongying's navy to train, and as for hitting the mainland, it uses airships and soldiers attached to airships for training.

Airships can fly, they can ignore the problems of the ocean and fly straight over!

That's all that matters!

"How's the airship being studied now?"

Ye Lie asked.

"It's still very slow, but now that we start attacking the remnants of Dongying in the Xianbei region, we should be able to build it after we build a temporary port and win the right to control the sea."

Ye Yu said, "This includes the test time after that. There are also parachutes and other things for emergency escapes. ”

"Good! After you've tested it, I'm going to be the first to sit down! ”

Ye Lie also wanted to try what it was like to fly in the sky.

"That's for sure, but I can only say that I only built one airship to set the country."

Ye Yu explained, "After that, we will slowly develop the air force based on airships. ”

"By the way, I've read the report of your research institute, and it says that you want to organize three corps of armored troops, right?"

Ye Lie thought about it and said, "Three corps, will it have an impact?" ”

"I've done the math, there's enough oil coming in from the Western Regions. Basically, it won't have much of an impact. ”

Ye Yu said, "Three corps won't be too many, and isn't Moxico a hundred chariots here?" If there is a fight in the future, I am afraid that this number will still be tight. ”

"Hmmm......"

Ye Lie nodded, "Okay, then the strategy after deciding is to go east first." ”

Naturally, the affairs of the army will be the turn of Yang Jiang and Zhang Detian.

Ye Yu only needs to be in charge of the armored troops.

After the Winter Games, the propaganda department and the newspaper also went full swing to publicize it.

Of course, it is to avenge the soldiers who died in the previous war, and this tone must be released.

Therefore, in this way, Jiaguo suddenly had some more soldiers.

Two months later, a column of armored troops was prepared, and Sun Di and Zhao Qing set off north.

According to Ye Yu, Sun Di was in charge of managing the armored units of the two corps, which were stationed in the north to prevent a possible surprise attack by Moxico.

One of Zhao Qing's corps went east to help Jiaguo's army break through the plains south of the Xianbei region.

Of course, there will be rotations in the middle, and Sun Di will also go to the battlefield in the Xianbei region for "training".

During this time, Zhang Detian and Yang Jiang also prepared an army of 90,000.

A whole six corps!

However, according to the strategy, of the 90,000 army, three corps needed to be stationed on the expanded railway ring in the north as a reserve, and the remaining 45,000 would march into the Xianbei region and expel the Dongying army occupying it.

Yang Jiang is no longer the commander-in-chief this time, and Zhang Detian is responsible for logistics and reserve of 30,000 soldiers.

And this time, it was Tang Xu, Li Jun and Cheng Wenxing.

After the previous bloody battles, they have all grown, and what they learned in the military academy has been actually trained.

In addition, the enemy this time is not Dongying's regular army.

Therefore, Yang Jiang and Zhang Detian jointly asked the three of them to attack and exercise more.

At the same time, the navy in Zhangye's hands had already assembled three large ships and twelve small ships.

Under the command of Zhang Ye, after clearing some pirates, he sailed east and then north, to the south bank of the Xianbei region to prepare them, and at the same time to attack the Dongying navy in that area.

As for Ye Yu, he still stayed in the research institute and continued to work on airships.
