Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 10 Undercurrent (2)
Jiangchuan Fucheng, the capital of Sanjiang County in the empire, is heavily guarded in the military and political governor's mansion. In a spacious meeting hall, all the important figures in the military and political circles of Sanjiang County are gathered. At the bottom of his left are his younger brother Lin Guowei, the head of the Sanjiang First Army Corps, his daughter Lin Yuexin, Lin Jiufang, the governor of Jiangchuan Prefecture, Wuzhi, the governor of Qindu Prefecture, Keleike, the guardian of Huayang Prefecture, and Sanjiang Junzheng Jiedu. On the right are his eldest son, Lin Yunfei, head of the Sanjiang Second Army Corps, Lin Yunxiang, his second son, Lin Dezhi, the governor of Anshun Prefecture, Zhao Yuancheng, the governor of Yushan Prefecture, and the director of the Internal Affairs Department of the Sanjiang Military and Political Festival. Yoon Sang Young. The huge crowd shows the importance of this meeting. Everyone present is quite serious, and it can be seen that the topics to be discussed will also be very important.
---- This meeting was chaired by Lin Guoxiong's younger brother Lin Guowei. It mainly discussed the changes in the current situation and the direction of action and development of the Lin family in the future. "Everyone, the Second Young Master Cai has just described the changes in the situation in the past few days, especially after the empire suffered a disastrous defeat in the Western Expedition, it unexpectedly won the defense battle in Qingyang Mansion, not only repelling the Luobei people, Moreover, it has also consolidated the rule in Qingyang Prefecture. Does this have any impact on our westward expansion plan? For your reference." Lin Guowei is different from his brother, short in stature, but very capable, especially with unique views on military affairs.
---- "I don't know how the negotiations with the Lang family are going?" The person who asked the question was Lin Dezhi, the city guard of Anshun Prefecture. The Lin family is not related, but they are all surnamed Lin. Outsiders think that he and the Lin family belong to the same family, but he is very loyal to the Lin family. He has always opposed the Lin family's westward plan, because once the Lin family's army moves westward, Anshun Mansion where he is located is most likely to be attacked by the imperial army and Tiannanlang's family, and Anshun Mansion is closely related to Qindu and Huayang. The terrain of the prefecture is also very different, it is Yimapingchuan, and it is also the food base of Sanjiang County. The three divisions of the legion were heavily guarded, but he was still worried. Even Lin Guoxiong couldn't persuade him. He didn't feel at ease until he told him about the negotiation with the Lang family.
---- "This, there has been some progress, but the negotiating envoy of the Lang family has not given a clear answer, but only asked us to exercise restraint, probably waiting for Lang Yongquan's final decision." Lin Yunxiang hesitated.
----"Yue Xin, do you have any comments on the westward expansion plan that was made last time?" This niece admires her very much, and thinks that she even surpasses her eldest brother Lin Guoxiong in some aspects, and is much better than her two brothers.
---- Seeing her second uncle pointing her finger at her, Lin Yuexin brushed her hair with her fingers. This small gesture was noticed by the few men present, and a sentence came to her heart almost at the same time, "naturally born" Lizhi, I see You Lian.
---- "I think we may have to suspend our plan to move westward for a while." A soft sentence seems to knock on the hearts of everyone present here like a thousand weights.
----"What? What did you say? Third sister, how much energy, how much work, how much risk have we taken, and we are only now basically ready, why should we hold off?" It was Lin Yunfei who got up, his face was flushed red, this time he seized the opportunity and managed to get the position of the commander of the Second Army Corps, he wanted to make a few great achievements in the westward battle, so as to block those who refused to accept him People's mouths did not expect to fail, of course it is unacceptable.
----"Yes, the opportunity is not to be missed, the time will never come again, I missed this opportunity, and when the empire recovers, it may be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future." Lin Yunxiang also agreed with Brother Nai Opinion.
---- "Could you please tell Miss San about the reason?" Keleike, the city guard of Huayang Prefecture, was born as a general and is also Lin Guoxiong's confidant. Lin Yuexin has always admired Lin Yuexin's ingenuity, so he also wanted to know why the implementation of the westward plan was postponed. In his opinion, the plan was quite perfect. The chess piece is used as a backup, and the expected goal can be achieved fully.
----"Yue Xin, please tell me your thoughts, everyone wants to hear your opinion, you have to give a convincing reason when you say you want to suspend the plan." Lin Guoxiong also spoke, he was still inclined to continue to implement the westward plan, after all, this opportunity is so rare. The strength of the western military region of the empire has been greatly reduced. The army in the northern military region has been overwhelmed by the war situation in the Terok Principality and the war on the northern border. Even the city guard army that defends the capital has been drawn down to only one housekeeper. The division is over. As for the Imperial Guard Corps, it will never be transferred out of the capital, so it can be ignored. Although the southern military region of the empire to the east has two armies with multiple legions, in order to guard against the number one enemy in the south of the empire, the Machi Khanate, the empire would rather withdraw the city guards that defended the capital than dare to use a single soldier from the southern military region at will. As a pawn, one can imagine his wariness against the Machi Khanate. As for the Lang's family in the southeast, it is good to talk well, but if they can't talk well, I have already prepared a "big gift" for him, enough for him to "enjoy" for a period of time. However, there is only one regular army stationed in the five prefectures of Kansai County, the independent division of the Western Military Region, and the others are just local garrison troops with extremely poor combat effectiveness. I'm already in my fifties, if I don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid I really won't have the opportunity. However, I, who was usually very confident, lost confidence under my daughter's temporary remark, and couldn't figure out what went wrong.
----Seeing that her father had also spoken, Lin Yuexin calmly stated her reasons: "I have two reasons, but only one of them is enough to make us think twice. OK."
----Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, they were obviously eager to find out what his two reasons were, so she continued, "Because the Empire won the Qingyang Defense Battle , in fact, the threat of the Luobei people in the northwest region has been completely eliminated, at least in a short period of time, and the elite troops of the three divisions of the Taixuan Mansion have been freed up to deal with the armored horses stationed in the Czech Republic. The Kaman Empire troops trying to go south of the city pose a certain threat. Everyone knows that the three garrison divisions in Taixuan Mansion are local garrison divisions in name, but their combat effectiveness and commander's ability are obvious to all. I believe Kaman The Manans are also very clear that if they want to go south, they have to consider their own way out. In addition, it will soon enter winter, and the winter in the north does not go to our south, so there are many constraints on the war. I guess the Kamanians will soon The policy of shrinking the defense will be adopted, and the pressure on the Teroks and the Empire will be greatly reduced. The two divisions of the Imperial City Guards Corps are already preparing for battle, and I am afraid they will be launched soon. They were originally prepared to deal with the Luobeis Yes, it’s free now, and with the addition of a multi-legion imperial regular army without any worries in the Western Military Region, I think everyone knows how confident our westward troops are.” Just one reason made almost everyone present People have cut off the idea of going west, and almost everyone is asking themselves why they didn't consider these things they knew a long time ago, but it seems that there is not much connection, and Lin Yuexin's comprehensive analysis can make everyone feel satisfied. Sure plan overturned.
---- "The second reason, I don't know if you have noticed that the major newspapers of the empire the day before yesterday published the news that the vice foreign minister of the empire, Vipan, was grandly welcomed when he visited the Machi Khanate." See all present Except for her father who frowned, everyone showed a dazed look. Lin Yuexin couldn't help sighing softly. Although these people have no problems in loyalty, they are too lacking in talent. Overall capabilities, let alone come up with good countermeasures.
---- Seeing everyone's bewildered looks, Lin Yuexin had to explain patiently: "The empire and the Machi Khanate have always been at odds, but in this sensitive period, Vipan was actually sent to visit and was warmly received. Welcome, this must have been actively invited by the Machi Khanate. This has sent us a message intentionally or unintentionally. What kind of deal may the empire and the Machi Khanate be doing? If the two parties reach a compromise, the consequences can be imagined You know, the more than 200,000 troops in the southern military region of the empire are not vegetarians." The words made everyone present, including Lin Guoxiong, shudder. As Lin Yuexin said, the current situation in Sanjiang County is very dangerous, so there is no such thing as a westward plan.
---- "However, the Machi Khanate has always been very hostile to the empire, and their great khan Bixili is even more determined to advance to the Central Plains. How could he suddenly agree to reconcile with the empire?" Seeing that everyone was shocked by the sister's words Yes, Lin Yunfei was a little unconvinced.
----"Everything is subject to change~IndoMTL.com~ What's more, there are only permanent interests between countries, and there are no permanent enemies or friends. Do you understand this truth?" Lin Yuexin replied heavily.
----"Third Miss, isn't our current situation very dangerous?" Lin Dezhi was already sweating.
---- "Uncle Lin, don't need to be overly nervous. This is just my personal inference. What the situation is has yet to be confirmed. What's more, the gap between the two countries cannot be completely eliminated in a day or two, and the empire will also I won’t be so relieved that I completely trust the Machihan people, but it is certain that there will be some changes in the relationship between the two countries, but this is enough to arouse our high vigilance.” Lin Yuexin comforted the nervous Lin Dezhi.
---- "Then Yuexin, how do you think we should deal with it now?" Lin Guoxiong also sighed, it seems that this painstakingly concocted westward plan is only aborted.
---- "I think the top priority now is to strengthen combat readiness, especially the Second Army Corps should step up training, and strive to catch up with the combat effectiveness of the First Army Corps as soon as possible. , without delay, the future situation is ever-changing, if you want to have more opportunities, you must have stronger strength. In addition, I feel that Li Wufeng, the commander who became famous in the battle of defending Qingyang in the Empire, is not an idle person, but I hope he is only so good in military affairs, otherwise, the northwest of the empire is now a blank, maybe this guy will become an inestimable figure. I am afraid that our intelligence agency must step up to collect information about this guy, otherwise we will need to deal with it one day in the future If we don't know each other's details, we will be very passive." Lin Yuexin sensed Wufeng's threat to the Lin family with her feminine intuition.
