Chapter 1110 No special preparation is required
"How?" Everyone's eyes were on them.
"When the envoys from Baekje and Silla came over, they immediately said that our Datang had paid attention to the situation between Silla Baekje and Goguryeo, and said that their war had affected the stability of the region and caused huge casualties to the people in this area."
So in order to avoid greater casualties in the area, Datang decided to directly send troops to help Baekje and Silla stabilize the situation. At the same time, the diplomatic envoys who reprimanded the king of Goguryeo could set off at the same time. ”
"No matter what the result is, it is impossible for Goguryeo to directly stop its military operations because we sent troops, so to some extent, Goguryeo may even want to test the strength of the Tang army."
"Because Goguryeo's goal has always been our Datang, and even they themselves know very well that the goal of Datang has always been theirs."
"So we can already start with what we did before." Li Ke said very simply.
"Your Highness, do we need to show weakness to the enemy?" Cheng Yanjin asked, obviously he was afraid that if he used too much force, he would directly defeat Goguryeo.
"No, if you have the strength, you can fight, and this time it is impossible to give you more troops, and your total military strength is only 10,000." Li Ke shook his head very dryly.
"Cheng Heizi, don't make a mistake about the target." Wei Chigong next to him spoke.
"You know the, tell me what our goal is?" Cheng Yanjin glared at him and asked.
"Isn't that simple? Your goal is to promote the strength of our Daetang, to those people of Baekje and Silla, to preach the Datang, to preach our army and the current concept of governance of the Daetang, not to attack Goguryeo. ”
"What you have to do is to stabilize the situation on the front, and it is better to delay it for a year and a half."
"Goguryeo, you smack? Is that what you're supposed to do? Wei Chigong said disdainfully.
Although Cheng Yanjin wanted to refute, he had to say that this time Wei Chigong was right.
"Lu Guogong, there is no problem with the words of the Duke of E this time, your main task is not to fight Goguryeo." Li Xiaogong said.
"Hmph, isn't that a clear thing? Your Highness said before, use you to show off? I'm just asking Your Highness if you need to drag more Goguryeo troops here. Cheng Yanjin glanced at Yu Chigong disdainfully and said.
"Since everyone has no opinion, then just follow this plan." Li Shimin nodded, "Do I need to change the time for the exam in mid-June?" ”
"No, when does Datang need to look at the faces of these small countries, besides, the movement of Datang's army naturally has nothing to do with the country, and the country is Hu Guogong's territory." Li Ke said.
Because Qin Qiong is not in charge of the army, Qin Qiong will naturally not come to this meeting of the military department.
"When the time comes, Kui Guogong." Li Ke looked at Liu Hongji next to him.
"The minister is here."
"You are now in charge of logistics, and the logistics side will keep up with it as soon as possible, and you will be responsible for regulating and controlling it with the dispatch side of the navy!" Li Ke said.
"Yes. Please rest assured that Your Majesty and Your Highness, the ministers and other logistics departments will definitely not delay the matter, and I also ask Liang Guogong to pay more attention here. Liu Hongji said.
"Well said. This is a major national event, and Shangshu Province naturally fully supports it. Fang Xuanling nodded and said.
"Are you too much, there is no need to be so nervous, this is just a local conflict, it's just that this operation is accompanied by some special propaganda operations, don't worry about this." Li Ke smiled.
After everyone laughed, Li Ke continued: "Compared with the pressure on the side of Jiangxia Junwang and Lu Guogong, in fact, the real test of this operation is Datang's current logistics support system. ”
"As long as the logistics keep up, the pressure on the King of Jiangxia County and Lu Guogong is actually very small."
"Yes." Everyone nodded yes, think about it carefully, it is true, the funds spent by the Tang Dynasty this time are not a small number, and the foreign war is naturally funded by the imperial court.
Weapons, equipment, food, transportation, and other aspects had to be spent from the imperial treasury, and a certain amount of profit had to be set aside for the state-owned commercial banks in charge of related matters.
Although this part of the profit will be very small, it belongs to the left hand to the right hand, but this kind of reversal must be reversed, and the money must be circulated.
"By the way, I have a problem here." Fang Xuanling said.
"What's the problem?" Everyone looked over one after another, this is a meeting of the military department, but it definitely needs the support of Shangshu Province, and Fang Xuanling's opinion is naturally very important.
"It should be a matter of the Ministry of State-owned Assets, Datang Grain Storage has a batch of old rice that is more than two years old, but although it is old rice, it has not deteriorated, but the taste is slightly worse, on the whole, it is not a big problem, and the Ministry of State-owned Assets can sell it to the Ministry of War at an extremely low price." Fang Xuanling smiled and said.
"No, Liang Guogong, you're too much." Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but start shouting, "You just let our soldiers who fought in the Tang Dynasty eat old rice?" ”
If Cheng bites Jin, if it had been put a few years ago, I am afraid that he would have been beaten to death, what happened to the soldiers eating old rice? Being able to eat rice is already considered an incomparably luxurious, when will ordinary soldiers be able to eat rice to their full?
Can't eat stale rice now?
However, for the current Tang Dynasty, after there is no shortage of food, the people in the military department are naturally reluctant to eat old rice.
"Lu Guogong misunderstood what I meant, I mean, in this special operation between the two countries, there are many places where the army needs food, and these old rice can be used to consume in these places."
"Although a lot of the islands were sold to the Japanese side before, there are still a lot of stocks in stock." Fang Xuanling said.
"Of course that's fine, but just give them rice? Isn't that a little too good. Cheng Biting Jin changed his tone in an instant.
"Just use old rice, otherwise how to highlight the goodness of Datang." Li Ke still made up his mind directly.
Chen rice is also rice, that's right, the current Datang corn as a traditional food has gradually begun to withdraw from the stage of staple food.
At least the grain reserves of the national strategic reserve are no longer stockpiled with corn, but mainly rice and wheat, and other auxiliary grains are also available.
Li Ke spoke, and everyone naturally had no opinion.
The meeting of the military headquarters was convened more quickly and quickly than expected, and the preparations and finalization of the incident were completed within one day.
In other words, the plan has already been prepared, and before there are too many changes, just follow the plan.
It's still the same sentence, it's a mule or a horse, it's time to pull it out for a walk.
