Three days later, on top of the flagship of the expeditionary force.

Kong Ming stood in front of one of the windows of the command cabin, looking at the battleship and the sea outside, the entire high-level of the expeditionary force in the command cabin had come here, and they were discussing in groups of three or five, in this small cabin, there were not only high-level personnel of the expeditionary force, but also more than a dozen unfamiliar faces, those people were the people from the land of gods of the Huayuan Empire, that is, several leaders who were going to walk with the advance detachment of the expeditionary force this time.

"Kong Ming, Sect Master Tang said, this time the operation will be led by you before reaching the Zhongzhou Continent, and after arriving at the Zhongzhou Continent, we will take over. Yun Pingtai stood next to Kong Ming, looked at the sea and said to Kong Ming, there was a trace of excitement in his voice, he never thought that they would have a real day back to Zhongzhou, although there were a lot of plans, although they had waited for more than two thousand years, but, after all, they were waiting, not only that, but compared with the previous wolf bèi and fled, now at this time, he went back with an army of 10,000, the lowest cultivation of these people are all gods, among them there are also a few venerables, although there is a gap with the peak of Mingzong, but, you must know that behind this 10,000 people, there are more than 15 million gods, this force, not to say that it swept the Zhongzhou Continent, but at least there is no problem in gaining a foothold in the Zhongzhou Continent.

"It's up to you, we are still working out the specific plan, although there is such a saying, but it is too wasteful to just let these 10,000 people fly forward directly, so we still need some supplements to maximize the use of this army. Kong Ming said, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words. Tang Mingye grasped his weakness and directly sent an ancestor-level figure to negotiate with him. And it's his real ancestor, so far. He must have a more auspicious and safe plan for the whole operation, otherwise, if he rushes forward like a stunned blue, he may not be able to go far and the whole army will be wiped out, in this way, it will be a real tragedy, and what makes Kong Ming unexpected is that Yun Haifeng actually came to join in this fun, the difference is that he did not join the advance detachment of the expeditionary force, but came here to be responsible for the connection between Kong Ming and the land of gods. After all, there are so many elites in the land of gods to participate in this operation, and the slightest mistake is a heavy loss, so Yun Haifeng plays such a role. But it was precisely this role that gave Kong Ming a headache, after all, this is his serious grandfather, and he is his own grandfather, whether he admits it or not, this is irrevocable.

Those who felt the same way as Kong Ming were those other people from the Huayuan Empire in the command, including Zhang Yiming, of course. Because these dozen or so people who came were all strong people like their authentic grandfathers. It can be said that Tang Mingye directly played such an emotional card, and almost told them directly, "You must send the most powerful guards in a safe way." At the fastest speed, send these ancestors to the Zhongzhou Continent, and not only that. You also need to participate in that sectarian tournament directly after that. After all, the participants are all their grandparents.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Yun Pingtai asked directly. Yun Haifeng looked at the soles of his feet with low eyebrows on the side, looking like a good baby. Let Kong Ming really be speechless.

"What good ideas can you have, let's have a meeting!" Ku Ming sighed.

After a while, all the people in the entire headquarters were seated, and Kong Ming walked directly in front of a magic screen and displayed the chart of the entire ocean that Mingzong gave him.

"Now let's start the meeting, let's take a look at the map, the entire distance from our Huatian Continent to the Zhongzhou Continent is 600,000 kilometers in a straight line, and there are countless ocean empires and countless dangerous places through it, so this requires us to be in the process of advancing, if it is to let you 10,000 people fly directly over, it may only take about three months to reach Zhongzhou, but the danger is very great, and there may even be a danger of annihilation, so we must be cautious. Just now, I thought about it carefully, if our 10,000 people are really only used as advance reconnaissance, it will be too wasteful, and if it is limited to intelligence help for our future battles, then it will not be of much help to our entire military operation, so I thought about it, and our 10,000 advance detachment will change its mission. Kong Ming said slowly, all the people felt a little unbelievable after hearing these words, after all, the previous things were discussed by everyone, if they kept changing, it would directly affect all other preparations, and this was still the decision of the Supreme Commander of the entire expeditionary force, and that kind of impact would directly overturn all the previous work. But it is precisely because Kong Ming is the supreme commander that he needs to be responsible for everything, this is his responsibility and his obligation, otherwise what will he do? So after Kong Ming finished speaking, everyone was quiet all of a sudden, they need to know Kong Ming's next words, only in this way can they really decide what to do next.

"Our traditional method of warfare is to advance, then reconnoiter the enemy situation in front, and then decide what to take according to our troops, whether to fight or to make peace. If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will make peace, and then you will pass from their territory. This is the battle of the army, as for the battle of the navy, the tradition is to conquer one island after another, and only in this way will we have a strong rear, and we will not be afraid that the enemy will cut off our rear road, which is a very orthodox thinking. I think this should be understandable to everyone?" Kong Ming's eyes swept the audience, and found that most of the people agreed with his statement, because most of them looked at Kong Ming or nodded.

"However, if we still follow this step to fight now, I have calculated that based on the fact that we are only advancing 30,000 kilometers a year, it will take us twenty years to reach the Zhongzhou Continent. Of course, this is still a situation, and it will take us twenty years to reach the Zhongzhou Continent, and of course, if we include the time we need to stop and rest, it will take us even longer to reach the entire Zhongzhou Continent. This process is too slow for us. So we need new tactics. Kong Ming said. He knew that his remark was really causing an uproar, and sure enough. As soon as his words fell, they caused everyone to discuss.

"What kind of tactics can be both a little faster. Safe again?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work. So how can we get to that legendary fairy land smoothly?"

"I think we can fly directly over, if more than 10 million people fly directly, three months will be enough for us to cross this ocean, hmph! I don't believe that such a powerful military is here, and any empire in the ocean dares to block our way. ”

"Reckless, hmph, don't say what empire is blocking the way, you see, it only takes a long place. If you don't stay on the island, you can exhaust our soldiers to death, and if you are attacked again at that time, maybe a few will come back!"

"If you want me to say, simply, just let those 10,000 people fly to the Zhongzhou Continent, and then directly set up a dozen long-range teleportation arrays, let us directly teleport over, like this. I don't believe it, more than 10 million of us won't be able to reach the Zhongzhou mainland?

"Hmph, do you think those people in the Zhongzhou Continent are stupid? Not to mention how many magic crystals are needed for such an ultra-long-distance teleportation, what if the enemy is directly ambushed on the opposite side? Not to mention. Those magic crystals are not something we can afford. ”

"The idea is good, the reality is brutal, and we can teleport here on a large scale now. It's because we have a spirit absorbing array, which absorbs the mana of the space and uses it for the teleportation array. And because of the proximity, the amount of energy needed is not very much. There is no pressure to teleport, if it is 600,000 kilometers, I think that teleporting a few hundred people will almost make us run out of food. ”

"What's the best way to do that? It's too slow to drive, it's too dangerous to fly, it's not enough to teleport, there's not enough money. ”

"I think we just let them move forward, we just have to wait here, it is best to teleport directly, although it consumes magic crystals, but it is the most labor-saving method. ”

......

A variety of different voices swirled between the entire command headquarters. Kong Ming stood there, listening to their statements, and did not speak. Later, some people felt that there was some noise to dominate, so they stopped, and slowly everyone stopped and looked at Kong Ming, after all, those were all said by Kong Ming, and they needed to know Kong Ming's real decision.

"The old dragon is right, the ship is too slow, the flight is too dangerous, and the teleportation is not enough money. So what should we do? How can we get to Zhongzhou quickly and safely?" Kong Ming smiled, and then said: "I have conceived a new tactic, this tactic is called the frog jumping tactic, we are like a frog jumping, jumping from here to there, as for the distance in between, we don't care about it. Well, to give you an example, for example, if we need to attack Alcatraz from Green Island, if we follow our current practice, we will attack one of these islands one by one, and then attack Alcatraz Island at the end. In this case, we need to have seven battles, that is, one battle for each of the six islands before Alcatraz, and then attack Alcatraz, so that is seven battles, but, have you ever thought about it? What we need is Alcatraz, because it is huge, for the six islands in front of us we are just worried that they will block our back road, or to make them a springboard to attack Alcatraz, we have these six battles, but what if we don't need these springboards? Or if we attack Alcatraz directly? In this way, as long as we take Alcatraz, then it is equivalent to isolating the other six islands, and as long as we take Alcatraz, then those islands are not a problem, which is what I call the frog jumping tactic. ”

"Does the commander mean that we should abandon most of the islands or objectives along the entire axis of attack and seize only those that are of great strategic importance?" asked Zhuge Yibu, what he heard from Kongming's words, combined with his own understanding.

"So to speak. Kong Ming did not deny that the frog jump tactic was to give up some useless targets, they only needed to attack some targets, so that the number of battles was reduced, and the entire combat distance was naturally increased, and of course the time to advance was shortened.

"Then what if the enemy gets stuck in our rear road?" Li Feizhi asked directly, every rear road has an extremely important significance for the army, one is to get support from the rear at any time, and the other is to retreat from that road at any time.

"In the midst of the sea, the sea is the way of the sea tribe. And the islands we are on are separated by seawater, do we still need those roads?" Zhang Yiming said on the side. This is indeed a practical situation. Above the sea, for humans. Every island is a foothold, and the line connected by the islands is their sea route, but this is the opposite for the sea tribe, except for the island, other places are their way, so that the expeditionary force's dream of keeping the road is actually a disguised failure.

"I'll ask another question. How can we guarantee the safety of the islands that have already been captured?" asked Li Feizhi. As a soldier, he knew that every battle was not only to seize territory, but also to weaken the enemy on a larger scale, and if there were no battles, then the enemy around the island would not be reduced at all, so that the expeditionary force would naturally not be afraid when it was there, but what about after the expeditionary force left? What if the teleportation array was destroyed? That would not be a disguised way of directly cutting off the rear road of the entire expeditionary force?

"That's right. What if our retreat is cut off?" Ye Jianhui asked directly, every officer knows such a truth. In a battle, if you don't calculate what happens after defeat, then there will be many mistakes in the whole plan. After all, fighting is not a matter of wishful thinking, and it does not mean that you can win if you want to. You have to know what kind of situation you will be defeated. Otherwise, there is no point in calculating victory, after all, there are too many accidents in war.

"Well, the solution to this problem needs you to think about it, I only need to determine the whole big method first, first of all, that is the advance team of 10,000, in the process of advancing, bypassing some small or close islands, and then directly occupy a foothold with a lightning speed, if the enemy's strength is too strong, then occupy those weaker footholds next to it, and then directly establish a teleportation array, teleport a part of the marines over, and strive to knock down the target that needs to be attacked, and then start to build a teleportation array on it, and then let the development group behind continue to build a real foothold。 As for our warships sailing directly above the sea, if it were not necessary, we would have better bypass those islands and join the marines directly above the footholds. In this way, we directly save a lot of time. Kong Ming said.

After hearing Kong Ming's words, many people fell into deep thought, so that the progress of the battle was indeed much faster, but relatively speaking, there were also a lot more dangers.

"Commander, I have an idea, I don't know if to talk about it?" asked Zhuge Yibu.

"Say!" Kong Ming looked at Zhuge Yibu and replied, every thing must be participated by everyone, so that they can really brainstorm, otherwise once they fall into a word, the leader will lose a lot of useful references.

"I don't think the mission of the advance detachment of 10,000 people needs to change, they are still our main source of intelligence, but we can use the air force as a pioneer and walk in front of the entire expeditionary force warship, and let them carry out frog jumping tactics and open up a foothold, so that not only can we have a greater grasp, but also let us not really be discredited. Zhuge Yibu said directly, and his words were tantamount to directly and semi-negating Kong Ming's previous mentions, that is, changing the task of the entire 10,000-person advance detachment.

"That's right, I also think that the mission of the 10,000 people is better not to change, let them explore the way for us, and even sometimes they can perform some of the content of the frog jumping mission, such as setting up a teleportation array in a certain corner, but their main mission is better not to change. After all, we have suffered from no intelligence before!" Li Feizhi said directly, he really admired Kong Ming's idea, but for the task of 10,000 people, it was also discussed by everyone, it was not only feasible, but also necessary, if it was not sent out this time, it could be sent at any time in the future, after all, military intelligence came first.

"I think it's also the case, the advance team must be sent out, they are equivalent to our eyes, indispensable. The frog jump is also a tactic that is very suitable for us at this stage, so I think it should be done at the same time. Ye Jianhui said slickly.

......

For a while, everyone expressed their opinions, and most of them agreed with the two at the same time. And Kong Ming was listening, and he was constantly thinking, his previous thoughts, one aspect is to reduce the loss of the advance team, after all, in the ignorant place of 10,000 people, there are really not many, to put it bluntly, it is not enough for those strong people to stuff their teeth, so he was reluctant to send such a team, it was really because the battle after that became more and more difficult and difficult, so he had to send it out, so he had some regrets before the meeting, so he said such a paragraph. However, it seems that most people still do not agree to stick to these 10,000 people. The trend of the times is helpless!

"Commander, in fact, I know your worries, for fear that these 10,000 people will disappear in front of you, and the waves will not be a little bit, but Lao Ling made a military order here, on the way to Zhongzhou, not only will the primary intelligence task be done, but also the loss of personnel will definitely not exceed half when he arrives in Zhongzhou. Ling Yun said. At this time, everyone knew that Kong Ming was not denying the advance of the 10,000 people, but for fear that they would be wiped out in the next mission, after all, there was a lesson from Mingzong in front of him, so he had to be cautious.

"Kong Ming, you can rest assured, the things of Mingzong in the past will not be repeated, after all, the previous one was a flight, without any preparation, all of them are constantly moving forward under unknown circumstances, it can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, so our losses are so heavy. However, this time it is completely planned and then moved, and the preparation is sufficient, so it is impossible for the previous phenomenon to appear again. Yun Pingtai can be regarded as hearing the taste of this, it turns out that this qiē is actually Kong Ming is afraid that they are too anxious and directly catch their appetite, so he can't help but not cooperate. Thinking about it, the previous motion has been a plan that has been studied by the entire command and then released, and it is about to be organized and implemented, doesn't Kong Ming, as the commander, know the importance of it? So everything that follows, he thinks that Kong Ming is acting, acting a play that they need to obey throughout the whole process.

Kong Ming didn't know his original intention at this time, and directly made Yun Pingtai such a label, if he knew that he would definitely shout wronged. And what everyone said at this time also made him have to change his mind and let the two go on at the same time.

"Kongming...... Ah, Commander, Commander, I think it's better for the 10,000 men to let them go on, better. While Kong Ming was constantly thinking about gains and losses, an intermittent voice came from a corner. Everyone looked over, it was Kong Ming's grandfather Yun Haifeng, at this time Yun Haifeng saw everyone look over, I don't know how much regret in my heart, you must know that his grandfather does not have much weight in Kong Ming's mind, and in Yun Pingtai's mind, he is just a descendant who has been separated for many years, and there is no weight, as for everyone here, after several battles, whether it is an official position or a title among the personnel of the command, as for those who are not the personnel of the command, most of them are his predecessors who don't know how many years ago, so to speak, no matter how he calculates, it is not his turn to speak。 That's why he has this kind of appearance, fortunately, everyone passed by after a glance, and he didn't care too much, after all, no matter what, he is Kong Ming's grandfather, he doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, and he will expect him to collude with Kong Ming in the future, after all, he is the only one who dares to point at Kong Ming's nose and speak alone in front of Kong Ming, and this is the most important reason why Tang Mingye let him come.

In that case, let's follow what everyone says. Ling Yun led the 10,000 air forces as the advance team as the plan remained unchanged, in addition, he also handed over a hundred Venerables to you to command, these people can only be used at critical times, and moreover, they can be used one by one, and a hundred Venerables must not appear at the same time at once. The remaining air force, commanded by Long Tianxian, was divided into three parts and formed a leapfrog forward force. We need to plunge directly into the enemy's depth before they can react!" Kong Ming said. (To be continued......)
