Part Three Sweep** Chapter Two Iron Horse Glacier Section Seventieth Crisis Awareness

Wufeng was immediately alerted to the trend of alliances among Liberian countries. The empire has not relaxed its monitoring of Liberian countries in the past two years. When Lief IX was all in-laws, it aroused the concern of the Tang Empire, but this kind of inter-marriage between Liberians is not uncommon. There are already intricate in-law relationships among the royal families of Liberia. It's just that this time the two neighboring countries have such a close relationship by marriage, it still can't help but make people feel that there is some kind of political need in this country.

The economic foundation of the Kingdom of Poole is relatively poor, and it is still recovering slowly, but its military strength is quite strong, with a strong tradition of martial arts. It is a typical country that started with the military. However, because it faces the sea in the east, the climate is suitable, and the agriculture is relatively developed. Especially in recent years, the weather has been good. As soon as the two countries form a very close relationship, it means that Poole can provide strong military protection to the side of Doton, and Doton can also continuously provide financial and material assistance to the Kingdom of Poole, which can be said to be desirable.

The marriage between the Kingdom of Poole and the Kingdom of Dorton was just a start for the Liberians to join forces. Suffered another blow, Sith Luoxiang visited Poole and Dorton, and concluded a military cooperation agreement, followed by a series of diplomatic activities of the Liberian statesmen who were like flying horses and flowers, which was even more dazzling. The Four Nations Alliance was formed almost before Datang made an appropriate response, which made the Tang Empire immediately feel the huge pressure facing the north.

Once the four countries are united, they will have an army of over one million, and almost the entire northern part of the empire will be exposed to the four-nation alliance, especially in the northern part of the country. It also brought unprecedented pressure to the Privy Council of the Empire. In addition to continuously appropriating funds for the repair and construction of fortress castles in the northern region, the Empire Central Committee continued to use them. Also began to expand the establishment of heavy cavalry divisions.

Before the establishment of the empire, Xijiang began a large-scale military horse breeding program in the Western Regions. Select Wusun horses and Kuqa horses with strong load-bearing capacity and good sprinting ability in the Western Regions to cross with the stamina and hunger-resistant prairie horses on the Tengger grassland, and they have achieved success in 699, and began to breed this kind of horses in large numbers. Known as an excellent breed of Xijiang horse. Although Xijiang horses cannot compare with grassland horses in terms of stamina, they retain the characteristics of their parent stallions, Wusun horses and Kuqa horses. They can bear weight and sprint, and their endurance has also been greatly improved. It has an advantage comparable to that of the Liberian horse, a specialty on the grasslands of Liberia. Therefore, in the second half of 699, the large-scale breeding and breeding work entered the **,

And some of the results achieved in the early stage also started from the formation of heavy cavalry, first from a brigade to a regiment, and finally formed a heavy cavalry division. The formation has successfully formed a combat force, and another heavy cavalry division is in full swing for preparations before the formation exercise. So far, three reorganized heavy cavalry divisions have been incorporated into the battle order. This made the Datang Empire's ability to implement tactical breakthroughs during large-scale battles in the northern plains significantly improved.

But now facing the huge pressure of the Liberians, the empire immediately realized that the empire was still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number and quality of the heavy cavalry compared to the Liberian countries, and this disadvantage It is almost fatal for the battle on the northern plains. In addition to continuing to expand the strength of the heavy cavalry on the one hand, the empire also proposed to the Sykes and Dole tribes to establish an independent armored beast troop (armed unicorns) Troops) to deal with the increasingly severe situation in the north, which also received the full support of the Sykes and Dole tribes. The armored beast troop grew out of nothing, from weak to strong, and quickly expanded from the original two thousand to five thousand, and gradually formed combat effectiveness, becoming a special part of the empire's heavy cavalry force.

Even so, the strength of the imperial armored cavalry is still at an absolute disadvantage overall. Almost every country in Liberia has more than 30,000 iron armored cavalry, such as Heathrow, Kaman and Poole , the combined strength of its armored cavalry is close to 200,000, and the strategic assault force of the entire Liberian countries even exceeds 400,000. This is already a rather horrifying figure.

And perhaps the only thing the Empire can be proud of is the strength of the Rangers. Coupled with the toughness of Gao Yue's heavy infantry, and a large number of light infantry. However, whether they are sure to deal with the difficulties after the great alliance of the Liberian countries, even the two privy envoys of the Privy Council are not sure, so in this case, Wufeng ordered Cui Xiu to suspend in the mainland He quickly returned to Beijing, and discussed with Liang Chongxin who had rushed back to the imperial capital in advance, the possible battle that could determine the survival of the empire.

What worries Wufeng is not just the great union of the Liberians. The Khans are located in the south, but in the face of such a huge military operation, geographical location is no longer the main factor affecting the changes in the situation. If this fight does not start, it will be at least a protracted war. It is the decision of the empire. It is a decisive battle between survival and the survival of the Liberian countries, and the Machihans can't stay out of it. Once the Liberians fail, the fate of the Machihanate can be imagined.

Under such circumstances, it is strange that the Maqihan people do not want to do everything possible to get involved. When he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Dulensk of the Sithrow Empire, Wufeng still felt a burst of unprecedented pressure.

Sometimes Wufeng himself laughs at himself, thinking that he didn't have so many worries at all when he ran into the world with bare hands, but now he is sitting on thousands of miles of fertile land and hundreds of millions of people, but he is actually worrying about gains and losses. He became more conservative and timid, so Wufeng asked himself many times, and even specifically asked Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen, but he still couldn't find a satisfactory answer.

Fortunately, in 2009, the empire decided on a strategy to develop the economy and consolidate the domestic situation for a period of time. With the arrival of the spring harvest, the empire also ushered in a rare harvest year. After that, the empire was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and no longer needed to import food from Luzon and Indian to make up the shortfall. The stability of the empire's domestic situation also provided a relatively good internal environment for the empire to use its troops. Of course, the news that the Liberian countries were sharpening their knives in the northern border area, which was constantly disclosed in the news media, also stimulated the empire to a certain extent. The emotions of the domestic people have been elevated to the unique overlord status of the Eastern Continent. The psychology of the people of the empire has also begun to pay attention to the threats from the outside world. The calls for strengthening the armed forces and increasing the military power have finally bottomed out after more than a year of low ebb. .

The Japanese also have this kind of intention. They want to get involved in anything that weakens the national power of the Tang Dynasty, but their strength, especially the strength of Lu Shang, is almost negligible. In the future, the war that will determine the survival of the country can only be based on Lu Shang The outcome is determined by war, and the Japanese obviously do not have enough say in this regard.

Facing the hostility shown by the Liberian countries, Wufeng also realized that the empire might have to change its strategic plan. It originally hoped to deal with the Japanese first after the navy became stronger and then deal with the enemies on Lu ~IndoMTL.com~ But now it seems that the estimation of the situation at that time was a bit too optimistic. The Liberians were not willing to sit still, and the Machihans were even more determined to turn things around. The combination of these factors directly affected When it came to the strategy of the empire, the empire had to make some corresponding changes.

Fortunately, the war on the mainland is still under control, and the situation in the southwest has gradually calmed down. The Western Peninsula Alliance has gradually acquiesced in the empire's annexation of Sikkim, Nan'an, Western Samoa, and Soktu. The fact that the establishment of the Empire’s Southwest County also indicates that this land was formally included in the empire’s territory. The cooperation between West Orland and Jutland and the Empire on the Meli issue made West Orland and Jutland consider how to deal with the Western Peninsula Alliance. There are also some scruples in terms of support, especially since the empire has explicitly requested that West Orland and Jutland not support the Western Peninsula Alliance and the empire's hostility. They are secretly happy that the empire can not wave King Gosi at the moment. The alliance and promises of the alliance have long been left behind, and no one is willing to provoke the behemoth of the empire. Even if it is to survive, it is better than to destroy the country immediately.

The command of the mainland was handed over to Hu Yanqiu. Although Cui Xiu had to admit that Huyanqiu's ability to command an army of 400,000 troops was somewhat difficult, but Huyanqiu did have one advantage, that is, being cautious and never greedy for success. In addition, he is familiar enough with this land, and the negotiation with the Hansen alliance is about to begin, and the war between the two sides is no longer worth continuing. down.
