Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 103: Attracting wolves
Situ Tai's expression became panic mixed with a trace of hesitation, this is a cliff, if you don't pay attention, you may fall down and be smashed to pieces. The strength of the Japanese navy has made great progress in the past two years, and they have shown aggressive momentum in the Atlantic Ocean. The Cook Islands and Kamchatka Island have always been the coveted fat of the Japanese. The last time the Japanese raided Kamchatka Island , although the Japanese escaped quickly under the driving of the navy fleet, this has already sounded a wake-up call for the empire, but at this time the empire has even lost sight of the land on the mainland. How many people there still care about this deserted sea? islands. But once you sell it to an outsider, the nature will be quite different. You may carry this kind of guilt shackles all your life, and you will never be able to get rid of it unless you take it back in your own hands.
Seeing that Situ Tai was still hesitant, the skinny old man also knew that this matter was serious, and his master had to think twice, but the current situation was such that he might not be able to let him go.
"Old Leng, the goal of Kamchatka Island is too obvious. Once it is leaked, we will be criticized by thousands of people. It is difficult to justify it. I am afraid it is not appropriate. You said that the Japanese invaded the Cook Islands and the Crescent Peninsula, we Is it okay for the Japanese navy not to interfere or even provide the necessary logistical support? Is it okay to use this condition in exchange for the Japanese sending troops?" Situ Tai hesitated before asking. The Cook Islands originally belonged to Dorton, and the Crescent Peninsula was originally a narrow peninsula area at the southern tip of Dorton, but it was an important military port of the Dorton Kingdom. The Japanese had already made up their minds, but due to the imperial navy The fleet and the Dorton navy formed an alliance and adopted joint patrols and defensive measures, which made the Japanese dare not act rashly. Situ Tai hoped to relieve the pressure on himself by allowing the Japanese to attack Dorton.
The skinny old man's face changed, and he thought for a while before saying, "You can try it. The Japanese have always hoped to find a foothold on the main road. If they are allowed to land on the Crescent Peninsula, the terrain of the Crescent Peninsula is narrow and long, and it is easy to defend on land. It is difficult to attack, and they can only pass through waterways, and the strength of the Japanese navy has already surpassed Doton. If the Dotons do not have our support, they will not be able to defeat the Japanese, and the Japanese must rely on us. It can be cut off. But the Japanese people have a big appetite, just like this, it is hard to convince them to send troops at this time. If it can give a little sweetness, the chances may be higher."
"What's the sweetness?" Situ Tai also knew that the Japanese were always negligent, and it was difficult to deal with them.
"For example, temporarily leasing them a port on the Ryukyu Islands or Kamchatka Island, maybe this can motivate them more." The skinny old man said, "Of course we won't make any concessions until the last moment. .”
Situ Tai sat back in his chair dejectedly, nodded with a complicated expression: "Well, that's the only way to go, we must let the Japanese go north to Dorton, and we can make more concessions in other areas, such as providing logistical support, etc. , the lease of the port cannot be agreed unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this old man knows the severity." The skinny old man also bowed his head and remained silent.
"How about the Japanese military power on land?" Situ Tai thought for a while before saying, "Don't we spend so much effort, but we can't get the timing effect."
"Your Highness don't need to worry too much about this. The Japanese people are tough and aggressive. They have been divided for so many years and have not become popular. Now the Liyuan Department has unified most of the Japanese. It is said that 80,000 people can be assembled at any time. The above soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not weak. They have been trapped at sea for a long time, and they have been eager to smell the soil of the mainland. Now that they have a chance to land on the mainland, they will definitely attack northward regardless. There are not many garrisons on the peninsula. Once the Japanese land on the Crescent Peninsula, the Dorton people will definitely not be able to resist. In this way, the army they gathered on our border will definitely retreat. Our pressure will naturally be eliminated. It’s just that the Japanese landed. It may not be easy to drive them back into the sea. It is no wonder that the Doton people are too mean. They are unkind, and we are also unrighteous. The disaster caused by the Japanese will move northward, and it will also win us a few years in the eastern sea area. An Ding, in the past few years, the Japanese will definitely do their best to gain a firm foothold in the Crescent Peninsula, and there will be many confrontations with the Dorton people, and it is estimated that they do not have much power to take care of other places." The skinny old man ignited the internal situation of the Japanese I understand very well.
"I hope so." Situ Tai said with a heavy heart. If the Japanese want to ensure the smooth flow of the north to the Crescent Peninsula, they will definitely ask to lease or occupy a port on the Ryukyu Islands or Kamchatka Island as a transit. I am afraid that they will have to make some concessions on this point.
"Your Highness, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to us. I think it's time for us to leave the imperial capital? The Third Highness probably has already left, and we can't stay here any longer. The Ninth Highness may act at any time. The old judge should not It will take more than a week, and they will take action." The skinny old man glanced at the much older master and said warmly.
"Well, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. This is a matter of course. Is our passage out of the city ready?" Some vague outlines of buildings.
"Everything is ready, everything has already been transferred, and the people who should stay have also been arranged."
"Okay, let's just tonight, let them be arrogant for a while, and the winner will be the winner!" Situ Tai said resolutely.
Wu Feng lay comfortably on the easy chair, the other people in the room had disappeared, only three people remained.
"Brother Liao and Chang, it's not that simple for you to invite brother here?" With his eyes slightly closed, Wufeng took a while to say a word.
"Hey, brother, it is true as you said, the Machi Khans have attacked in Baling, and have launched an attack on Wen Ning along water and land. The Sixth Army of the Empire is fighting fiercely with the Machi Khans. , The Imperial Navy Fleet was destroyed by enemy spies, and about half of the ships' galleys and rudders were damaged. The Imperial Navy suffered an unprecedented failure. It is estimated that the remaining fleet will have to return to Anqing." Liao Qichang said quietly, "Is the Empire really Is it inevitable that it will collapse?"
"Brother Liao, don't you need to be so pessimistic? Even if Wenning falls, there are still Yueyang, Anqing and Huanggang in Wuhu County. As long as you calm down, the empire can make a correct response." Wufeng's whole body was shocked. , Seeing that the other party's face didn't seem to be joking, he thought for a while before comforting the other party insincerely.
"Brother, are you sympathizing with the two older brothers, or are you deceiving yourself? Now the situation in the imperial capital is becoming increasingly tense, and the four princes are staring at each other like black-eyed chickens. The situation is so critical, how can the princes still No one gave up the throne, and I really don’t want to die without seeing the coffin. The attack of the Maqihans this time is not as good as the last time. The strength of the water army has been significantly enhanced. I did not expect the water power of the Maqihans to develop so fast. The imperial navy also suffered a big loss by being caught off guard. In addition, the enemy's spies were rampant in the five lakes, so the imperial navy suffered a crushing defeat. Wen Ning has no hope. , Anqing has no danger to defend, and the Taiping Army is threatening to the north, I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before the entire Five Lakes fall." Chang Gui, who was lying motionless on the massage board, lamented, "I, Chang Gui, have already lived to this age. , I just want to return to my roots, but I never thought that when I grow old, I will have to watch my hometown moaning under the iron heels of the barbarians, and I will die with regret."
"Brother Chang, you are overthinking. Could it be that the Fifth Legion will sit idly by? Two legions together with the Imperial Navy should be able to give it a go." Even he felt that what he said was a little weak, and Wufeng couldn't help sighing One sound.
"But will they go all out to compete with the Machi Khans? I doubt it." Liao Qichang continued, "In the past few years, the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Legions have consumed our five lakes and south of the Yangtze River. There is a lot of money and food, but I have never seen them beat the Machihans once and for all. They either fought and failed repeatedly, or fled in despair. The Northwest Army can defeat powerful enemies repeatedly? Could it be that the fighting power of the Machihan people is really much stronger than those of the Luobei and Mot people?! I don't believe it!"
"Both brothers, you didn't bring the brothers here today just to vent, right? I seem to think there is something in the words of the two brothers." Wufeng finally stood up and wiped his body with a silk handkerchief~IndoMTL .com~ asked slowly.
The chief figure of Wuhu County also propped up his body and exchanged glances with the Jiangnan boss who had been lying on the side before saying: "Brother Li, don't you think your northwest is a bit too desolate?"
"What do you mean?" Wufeng's heart trembled, his mind raced rapidly, but his face was calm and unwavering.
"It's nothing interesting, Brother Liao and I intend to invite the Northwest Army into the five lakes and even the south of the Yangtze River!" Chang Gui's dark eyes were shining brightly in the room.
"You two, don't be joking, how can this kind of thing be done?" Wu Feng subconsciously declined.
"Do you think we are joking?" Liao Qichang asked back, "The Maqihans are raging fiercely now, Situ Jun's head is at both ends, and it is difficult to get the news of the Maqihans' invasion. I got the secret report. Now, I'm afraid that the Maqihan people have captured Wenning. Anqing is definitely the next goal of the Maqihan people. I don't want to see Jinxiu Heshan fall into the hands of foreigners. Lin Guoxiong has lost the power to turn the tide. Now only you have it, brother This ability is enough, if you want, I can contact the gentry of Wuhu to cheer for the adults and contribute money and efforts."
"Hehe, Brother Chang, you are too flattering to my younger brother. How dare this younger brother have the heart to set foot in the Five Lakes? The Five Lakes are not the only ones with strength from the family of the Third Highness. Brother Chang is a local snake, so he doesn't know better than the younger brother, right? Doesn’t Qiankun Dao also have considerable power? Brother Chang, can’t you see who is behind this Qiankun Dao? I’m afraid that the background of Qiankun Dao is not only the strength of Qiankun Dao? He teamed up, but he wants to get my younger brother's idea?" Wufeng sneered coldly, and very naturally threw the silk handkerchief in his hand to wipe his hands into the wooden barrel beside him. These two guys used such methods to lure themselves into the trap. Do they really think that they are deaf and blind and can't be manipulated and deceived by others?
