Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 18: Bright Sword (4)
Pick up and put down the glass magnifying glass on the map. This is an imported product from the Western Continent. It is a rare thing that can magnify relatively small things on the map, but it does not help solve the doubts in the heart of the short and fat old man. .
It can be clearly seen from the map that Li Wufeng's so-called Western Frontier Army has assembled as many as 110,000 people in Beijieluk, plus the so-called Imperial Dispatch Army of a division and 70,000 Jieluk Defense Force. The number has exceeded 200,000, which poses a great threat to Beijieluk, which has only one corps stationed. Although the fighting power of Jieluk's 70,000 troops is not flattering, the 160,000 Western Frontier Army is not a bone to chew In the first battle of Pinglu, he fought head-to-head without any fancy, and made several generals under his command who had never paid attention to Tanghe people all talk about "West". Now if anyone dares to boast that Xijiang If the army is a weak brigade, even the arrogant Nick and Claudia will spit on him face to face.
The First Battle of Pinlu has completely changed the Kaman army's view of Tanghe's army. It used to be that the first and second legions of the Tanghe people were barely eye-catching, and now a more fierce Xijiang has come. Army, after calculating the consumption ratio of the enemy and the enemy in the first battle of Pinglu, even Gomez himself had to admit that he had underestimated the heroes of the world. Li Wufeng's success is not only based on intrigue, but more importantly, he has a loyal and loyal iron army.
Thinking of this, Gomez couldn't help sighing again. It seems that the Kamans still have a long way to go before they can dominate the Central Plains, and the Machihans can compete with the Western Frontier Army , the Japanese were able to fight against the Duodun people with outnumbered enemies. It seems that the Eastern Continent is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but I was a little spectator. Seeing the densely marked addresses on the map and the regions separated by colors, the protruding Beijielu, Yulin, Qinghe, and Pinglu, the faint light green became so dazzling at this time, the dumpy old man realized for the first time that In fact, occupying so much land has its downsides.
The word Jiayuguan suddenly caught Gomez's eyes, causing Gomez's eyelids to twitch. Could it be that Li Wufeng wanted to take back Jiayuguan in one fell swoop? Gomez immediately burst out laughing. It’s impossible. I’m too sensitive. Although there are only 30,000 people stationed in Jiayuguan, the moat built by the people of Tanghe has become their nightmare. No one can forcibly conquer it by force. As long as Jiayuguan is occupied, even if Beijieluk is completely recovered by them, he can easily go south from Jiayuguan.
Then where is Li Wufeng's target? Yulin Mansion? Is there any need? The remote and impoverished Yulin Mansion may be given to Li Wufeng now, but Li Wufeng may not be willing to take it. Just like the Black Mountain and Longquan that are in his hands now, except for the mob, they are refugees. If it is not considered that there is no military control, the refugees may go north to west Running around and endangering the Pinglu defense line, Gomez has long wanted to throw these two places out, especially after Nick and his gang collected food and grass on the spot. But now seems to be the time to drop both baggage.
Pinglu Mansion? Does Li Wufeng have the guts to fight the Pinglu graveyard again? Gomez shook his head subconsciously. Even Gomez still feels the pain of the tragedy of the Pinglu World War I. More than 70,000 elites were buried in the loess in this little-known place. The blood shed by the soldiers is enough to soak the entire earth. Of course Li Wufeng was also uncomfortable, and Gomez didn't believe that Li Wufeng would dare to have a painful experience of exchanging blood for flesh and blood for both sides.
Shaking his head, Gomez realized for the first time that he could not figure out the other party's intentions. It stands to reason that Li Wufeng's primary goal should be the Central Plains in the east. That's right, why is it making a big fuss in Nanjieluk, and it still looks decent, I don't know what's weird about it.
However, the danger facing Beijieluk is objective. The total strength of Jiama and Fanlin is only 70,000, which is only equivalent to one-third of the enemy troops assembled in Nanjieluk. Only the two cities of Jiama and Fanlin were garrisoned, and there were also garrisons in some fortresses other than the two cities. Such a scattered force was easily defeated by the opponent. Fortunately, Mai Li had noticed this and shrunk the defense line. Now, the grain harvest that is about to start will be greatly restricted. Will Li Wufeng intentionally use this method to consume himself? Gomez was a little undecided.
Just when Gomez was troubled by Xijiang's actions in Nanjieluk, Wufeng had quickly returned to Qingyang, and after a short stay in Qingyang, he secretly went south via Guanguan, went south to Tiannan, and entered Burma. In Perth, the capital of the county, before that, Ling Tianfang had already arrived in Perth with members of the Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the First Army Corps and the two cavalry regiments in the Western Frontier also adopted the method of exchanging more for less in the name of changing defenses Quietly drive into Tiannan.
With the golden autumn approaching in October, Burma is already a bit cooler, but compared with Kansai and Northwest, it is still too warm here, making it difficult for people to appreciate the arrival of autumn. The lush forest meanders south along the avenue, and one branch leads to the end of the southern horizon. It can be seen that the north-south road running through Maine County has only been repaired initially, making it very difficult for vehicles to pass. Some improvements have been made. At the very least, ordinary carriages can barely go all the way to Mughal City in southern Myanmar, and then there is only a narrow path to the northernmost Principality of Sulawesi in the Peninsula Alliance.
As soon as Burma came under its own jurisdiction, Wufeng instructed that the road running through the north and south of Burma must be included in the No. 1 plan and start construction as soon as possible. , there are less than 200,000 people in central and southern Myanmar, and most of them are scattered in the mountains and forests. The two cities of Mughal and Labo are not so much cities as two small market towns. Larger market towns are far inferior. It is indeed not an easy task to suddenly build a road running through the north and south. Fortunately, after Lu Man became the governor of Maine County, he was urged by Wufeng on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also realized this. This road is of vital and special significance to the development of the entire Maine County, especially the development of Myanmar, Central and South Myanmar. In addition, refugees from the Heshuo area have also continuously poured into the Maine County, which has also brought him sufficient labor force.
Under the order of the Governor's Mansion, all the refugees were not allowed to stay in northern Myanmar, and all went to Myanmar, Central Myanmar and South Myanmar. Facing the government’s tough attitude, the refugees finally chose to obey, especially after Lu Man won a special subsidy for refugees from the Finance Department of the Western Xinjiang Government Affairs Bureau, he immediately announced that he would receive a lot of money for moving to central and southern Myanmar. This contradiction was quickly understood.
"The Sulawesi people rejected our request? It seems that this Grand Duke is still a person who would rather give up than give up? He has ambition and spirit." Wufeng smiled and opened the front of his chest, very There is not much difference between the month of Burma and the September of Kansai and Northwest, even warmer. After some walking, Wufeng also felt a little hot on his body.
"Hehe, Your Highness, Sulawesi people are not fools. Once this road is built, it can certainly improve business exchanges, but the side effects are also obvious. Facing our strong neighbor, even fools will Think about whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Don’t even know why your own country perished for the sake of developing trade. Besides, the main business partners of the Peninsula Alliance are the countries in the Central Mainland, but in the Eastern Mainland, there is the Nanyang Alliance. The gang is supporting them, and the business contacts are mainly between the Nanyang Alliance and the Machi Khans ~IndoMTL.com~ They feel that there is no need to take the risk of opening a new business route between Myanmar and them." Lu Man smiled helplessly He explained: "But this road is very important to Burma. Once our road can directly lead to the coast of the Great South Sea, then our Burmese specialties can be directly transported to the seaside port and loaded there. It can be transported to all parts of the Central and Western Continent, and even to the coastal ports of the Eastern Continent in the Atlantic Ocean, which is less labor-intensive than transporting by land, and it can also open up the most convenient channel to the Central and Western Continent.”
"Don't the Sulawesi people know what it means to reject our western border?" Wufeng showed a savage smile on his face, "Does it really think that the alliance can save their fate?!"
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Luman said awkwardly: "My lord, Sulawesi is just a small country with a few people and a weak country, and its military strength is not worth mentioning. There are only trails between Sulawesi, and even transportation is quite difficult. There are shallow hills covered with forests in the middle, which has considerable restrictions on the march of large-scale troops. It is not easy to pose a threat to them through here. .”
"It depends on human effort, but your priority now is to repair the key sections of the road from Mughal to Perth City within a week. You don't have to worry about the rest. I don't want to see it again It looks like this." There was no room for haggling in Wufeng's words.
"Understood, Luman will recruit another group of refugees to invest in the maintenance and repair of the road area. God is open to the fact that the ground in Burma is very dry these days, and it is quite suitable for road repairs." No Resolutely don't ask what should be asked. Luman knows that some things don't necessarily need to be clear to everyone. He only needs to perform his duties as the governor of Myanmar well.
