Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 82: Big plan (five)

"In view of the fact that our current economic and financial situation in Xijiang is not sufficient, I think we can spend more energy on construction and development. As for the battle between Situ Tai and Situ Biao, I think if we can sit on the mountain and watch Tiger fighting should be the most ideal situation." Bo Jinchen and Mu Lige, who was sitting next to him, had different attitudes on whether to intervene in the Central Plains battle, and both of them were able to maintain a normal state of mind to discuss this issue .

"Hehe, Brother Bo, do you also think that with Situ Biao's current strength, Situ Tai can do his best to fight for the throne of the emperor? Brother, you don't think so, Situ Tai's first and second legions The combat effectiveness is no less than that of our main armies in western Xinjiang. To be honest, our Fourth Army may also lose the wind when facing the first and second armies of Situ Tai. It can be regarded as a strong army, but compared with any of Situ Tai's first and second legions, there is still a certain distance. Now the Kamans are in a difficult situation, and the Dortons have formed an alliance with Situ Tai. Regardless of whether the Japanese will join or not, the first and second legions in Situ Tai's hands alone are enough to sweep the five lakes. I am afraid that such a result is not what we in Xijiang want to see?" Mulige's dark face rose It is indeed a rare opportunity to discuss their views on the battle situation with colleagues on this occasion, and Muliger likes this kind of free debate very much.

"Brother Mu, you overestimate the strength in Situ Tai's hands. It is true that the first and second legions in Situ Tai's hands are the elite of the imperial army, but in my opinion, the combat effectiveness of these two legions is comparable to ours. The third and fourth armies of the Xijiang army are also in the middle, and they should be slightly inferior to our first and second armies in the west. And considering that if Situ Tai's first and second armies want to Going south to the five lakes, the river network in the five lakes area is dense, and the role of the army will be limited to a certain extent. This can be seen from the fact that Situ Tai's army went south to the south of the Yangtze River. Sixth, the two main armies stationed in the south for a long time will fight, and Situ Tai may not be able to occupy such a large area of ​​land so easily."

"Now Situ Biao has the support of all forces in the five lakes. The newly-built army even defeated the Maqihan people's defense army after the first battle in Baling. This also proves that Situ Biao still has some talents in his hands. Building a newly-built army like this in a short period of time is enough to show that Situ Biao's military effort is no less than that of Situ Tai. As for you and Mr. Liang, it seems that we in Xijiang should support Situ Biao's annexation of Situ Jun's forces , But think about it, once Situ Biao annexes Situ Jun, his strength will get a substantial leap, maybe you will think that even if Situ Biao annexes Situ Jun's power, Situ Biao is at most comparable to Situ Biao in terms of military strength If, but I think Brother Mu and Mr. Liang may have overlooked another force, Cheng Dayou between them! Originally, Situ Biao was far stronger than Situ Biao in terms of economic strength, and now he is also comparable to Situ Biao in terms of military strength. With capital that is evenly divided, will Cheng Dayou, who has always been there at both ends of the head rat, invest in Situ Biao? Once he invests in Situ Biao or Cheng Dayou joins Situ Biao's side to attack the East China Sea and Jiangnan, then Situ Tai's The power will be greatly weakened, then the balance we expect will be destroyed, and even a one-sided situation will appear. I am afraid that such an ending is also what we do not want to see?"

Bo Jinchen's eloquence was fully demonstrated at this time. Although he was born as a literati, he has always had a strong interest in military affairs since he was a child. Instead of being depressed, he became more enthusiastic about the study of military strategy and tactics. Disappointed with the decaying officials of the empire, he finally accepted the invitation of his friend You Daofang and joined the wave of uprisings that overthrew the rule of the Tanghe Empire. Due to his short-sightedness, You Daofang failed to give Bo Jinchen a chance to fully display his military talents. Jinchen has found a stage to show himself again. For himself, whether the decline of Taiping Sect is a misfortune or a blessing, even Bo Jinchen himself can't tell for a while.

However, Mulige, who has rich experience in war, is not weak either. From a low-level officer of the City Guards to a mid-level officer of the Qingyang Garrison Division, he finally became the division commander of the first pure Gaoyue Infantry Division under Li Wufeng's command. Developed into the famous leader of the heavy infantry division in the Middle East, and finally became the commander of the Fourth Army. Although his eloquence is good, it is obviously impossible to persuade him with these alone.

"Brother Bo, I think we have different views on the combat effectiveness of Situ Tai's First and Second Legions. In addition, we also have different opinions on the development of the war between the First and Second Legions assuming they enter the Five Lakes. From Lao Mu's point of view The combat power of the first and second legions is definitely far stronger than those of Situ Biao. If it weren't for the Kamans and Puer people who had restrained Situ Tai's other legion, in Lao Mu's view, Situ Biao would have no one at all. Capital and Situ Tai challenged each other. The first and second legions have been guarding the border for many years, facing the tiger and wolf divisions of Kaman and Puer people. Over the years, they have confronted Kaman and Puer people almost every year. Only after experiencing countless wars Only a tested army can be called a real army. On the other hand, the Sixth Army in Situ Biao's hands has won less and lost more in many confrontations with the Machihans. As for the new army, Brother Bo also knows that if there is no How can Baling City be so easily captured by our Western Frontier Army? As for the geographical situation in the Wuhu area, the army is somewhat limited. Brothers also admit that, but Situ Tai has at least two legions in his hands. Donghai and Jiangnan have conducted adaptive training and participated in the battle for Donghai and Jiangnan. The brothers don’t think that the geographical conditions of the Wuhu area will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of Situ Tai’s army.”

"Hehe, it seems that it is difficult for you and me to reach a consensus on this issue, but I also agree with Brother Mu and Lord Liang's views, that is, it is in our best interest to maintain a balanced posture in the Central Plains war , this will not only fully consume the vitality of all parties, but also buy us a lot of development and preparation time, during which we can do many things." Bo Jinchen clapped his hands and laughed, he hadn't smiled for a long time Yes, this kind of relaxed and free discussion atmosphere in the Western Frontier Army has never been seen in the Taiping Army. There used to be many generals under his command, but they were rarely able to discuss and explore strategies or tactics. More It is to obey the orders and commands of the superiors, lacking the kind of high-spirited and active atmosphere here.

"That's right, Brother Bo, look at His Highness and Lord Ling have not yet expressed their inclination on this issue. I don't know if they have already made a decision or hope to choose one that is more suitable for them from our debate. What's your opinion?" Mulig also responded with a smile. In his opinion, this senior military staff officer from the Taiping Sect is very talkative, and he gets along very well with him. It is impossible for people to believe that he was once a prominent military officer of the Taiping Sect. On the contrary, I feel more like a senior teacher of a military academy.

As the two giants in the Western Frontier Army, the debate sounds more like a heart-to-heart conversation between two old friends. Cui Wenxiu took Liang Chongxin's conservative views quite seriously, supporting the weak to counter the strong and maintain balance. Cui Wenxiu does not object to the strategy, but he has a clear difference from Liang Chongxin in his views on strength and weakness.

Liang Chongxin believes that Situ Biao is absolutely weak compared to Situ Tai. Cui Wenxiu finds it difficult to accept~IndoMTL.com~ In Cui Wenxiu’s view, military strength is subject to economic strength. Although the army controlled by Situ Tai is training The army with stronger war experience than Situ Biao, due to the food crisis in the past year and Situ Tai's financial difficulties, has caused a serious crisis in the logistics of Situ Tai's army and the distribution of food and salaries. There are some problems, but the morale of the army has been greatly affected, and according to intelligence, the phenomenon of arrears in Situ Tai's army still exists, but it has eased compared to before receiving the loan from the Dorton Kingdom, and there is still a considerable gap in logistics supplies. These factors will have a profound impact on the war.

On the issue of whether to launch a large-scale attack on the Kamanians, Cui Wenxiu and Liang Chongxin have very different views. Although Liang Chongxin also believes that the Kamanians are in trouble now, he does not think that now is the best way to solve the Kamanians. It is a good time, he thinks that the current method is to use the rangers in the south to sweep Kaman's land and destroy the economy in the south of Kaman. Holding back the Kamanians has caused the economic strength of the Kamanians to continue to deplete, making it impossible to maintain their current military strength. Liang Chongxin is also skeptical of the view that Xijiang can completely defeat the Kamanians by concentrating its military power and joining forces with the Boyin people Attitude, he believes that the situation of the Kaman people is not as bad as reflected by the intelligence department. As the number one military power in Liberia and a large country with nearly 20 million people, once it enters a state of full-scale war, its military potential will explode. It must not be underestimated, he is more inclined to deal with the Kamans after the Central Plains issue is completely resolved.
