Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 46 Teamwork (1)

The small conference room in a remote location is very elegantly decorated. The jade screen inlaid with walnut wood looks clean and flawless at first glance, but at second glance, the dark lines on the surface are looming, and it seems that there are clouds rising slowly, just like a classic The Tang-style splash-ink landscape has a long artistic conception, which makes people look forward to it. This is a gift from the Gaoyue people in Northern Luzon. As the liberator of the territory, in order to thank Wufeng for treating the Gaoyue people equally, the Gaoyue people dedicated this piece of sapphire from the depths of the Dahengduan Mountains to Wufeng after careful polishing. , Wufeng generously accepted this strangely shaped gift, and placed it in the small meeting room in the Jiedushi Mansion.

There were not many people attending the meeting, only five or six people, but judging from the dignified atmosphere, it seemed that the topics discussed were very important.

"I have been thinking on the way back to Qingyang from Guide, whether this expedition to Terok, including our previous control of Lulong Mansion and military operations in the Western Regions, was a bit blind, lacking an overall plan, and lacking a long-term and comprehensive plan. And stable strategic planning?"

The heavy words reverberated in the meeting room, and everyone present was silently appreciating the words of the coach. This was obviously sent out without a front and with a sense of preparation, rather than just passing it off on a whim. The few things he said were all large-scale military operations that Wufeng himself affirmed and put into practice. If Wufeng hadn't said it himself, I'm afraid no one would dare to question it.

"The Western Front was acceptable in the expedition to Terok, but the three divisions on the Southern Front suffered heavy losses. The whole operation should not be considered too successful. Although some of the Kamanan's vitality was annihilated, the opponent's vitality did not. It has too much influence. Once their domestic rebellion is put down, they can go south and make a comeback at any time. Lulong won and lost, causing us to fall into a passive position in the east. Feng unhurriedly analyzed his military operations in the past six months since returning to the Northwest.

"For the issue of the Western Regions, our actions have been quite successful in terms of tactics, parts, and purely military operations, but from a strategic and overall point of view, our situation in the West is not optimistic either. , the Loulan people have always refused to give in, the Gaochang state is vacillating, and the Kuche people, even the Bega people, are probably now subdued and resentful, and the Luobei people are waving their flags and shouting behind them. Fortunately, Wusun has already formed an alliance with us, and the Kuche people The recent performance is also considered friendly, otherwise our situation in the Western Regions will be more severe."

The meeting room was silent, everyone was thinking about Wufeng's slightly pessimistic analysis, waiting for the coach to ask questions after the analysis was over.

"Of course, some situations were created temporarily, and we were forced to deal with them. At that time, we couldn't predict the development of the situation later, but the reality before us now is that we don't have a relatively long-term and feasible plan for how to realize it. The goal we set." Speaking of this, Wufeng paused consciously.

Sure enough, after hearing Wufeng's words, almost everyone raised their eyes. What target? This sentence has a profound meaning, and immediately someone secretly exchanged excited glances with each other, it seems that this veil is about to be lifted.

Looking around at the expectant faces all around with deep eyes, Wu Feng's face was calm as usual: "Perhaps everyone is muttering in their hearts, what is our current goal, can we clearly put it forward?"

After considering his words for a while, Wufeng showed a thoughtful look on his face: "Actually, this problem has troubled me for a long time. Speaking of which, I can be regarded as a senior member of the party. I am the military and political governor of the Northwest and the governor of Northern Luzon. It is quite similar, but everyone here knows the situation in our Northwest and Northern Luzon. The economic foundation is weak, and the surrounding environment is complicated. The countries of Liberia are wary of the empire, the Machihans in the south are sharpening their knives, and the Japanese in the east are spying on them. There are peace cults occupying land to confuse the people, and the power inside the empire is also a different dream. This situation Now, where should we go in the Northwest?"

Wufeng's words immediately caused ripples in the room. How to locate the Northwest has always been a difficult point. Given the current situation, how should Northwest determine its position?

Taking a deep breath, Wufeng calmed down his mind before saying: "No matter what, since Northwest and Northern Luzon are vassals of the empire, we should obey the orders of the empire's central government, whether it is the Taiping sect or not. Whether it is the Man people or the Machi Khan people, I will never allow them to become the masters of the Central Plains, this is my personal goal!"

Although he didn't make a clear statement, everyone present without exception understood the meaning of the coach sitting in the middle of the top.

"The purpose of today's meeting is to determine the short-term plan, a practical plan. I hope that everyone here can express their opinions and come up with their own opinions. Now Ling Tianfang will introduce our situation first." Wu Feng He briefly ended his speech.

"Everyone, everyone must have understood the recent situation. The siege to the south of Terok has been lifted. It can be said that Merrington is already under our control. We have reached an agreement with the Principality of Terok. A division of the Linton garrison guards against the threat of the Kamanians, and the Principality of Teroc has promised to pay five million imperial gold coins as our extra reward for this trip!" A smile flickered across the corner of Ling Tianfang's mouth, which is probably a government official Especially what Xiao Tang would like to hear the most, but unfortunately Xiao Tang and others were not allowed to attend this meeting.

"The situation in the Western Regions has basically stabilized. Luzon and Komini have signed a military alliance and a non-aggression treaty with us. It can be said that the situation on the Western Front is very good, and it should be able to be used for development for a long time."

"To the east, although we have lost Lulong Mansion, Zhegu Pass is still in our hands, and the throat leading east to Kansai is still firmly in our hands. We can go east at any time."

"Of course, we also have some problems. The third and fifth divisions of the Northwest Army and the third independent infantry division have lost a lot, and it will take time to recover. Lulong was lost. It is a great springboard, the Western Regions have not yet completely calmed down, and there is still a need to garrison troops, and the threat from the northern countries is still there, which has limited our energy, and these issues need to be considered in the next step of the plan." Ling Tianfang didn't have any extra words, simply He introduced the current situation to everyone present.

"Well, I would like to ask a question. Just now, Master Jiedushi and Master Ling have introduced the current situation. Is our current direction east or west? Are we going to solve the hidden danger of Loulan or prepare for the Eastern Expedition? Taiping Sect, or should we pull out the nail of Sun Yuanhui in the Ganlan Fortress first? Please make it clear, so that the subordinates can have a score in their hearts." The person who spoke in a deep voice was Cui Wenxiu of the Independent First Cavalry Division, everyone present Among the generals, he is undoubtedly the most qualified to speak.

Cui Wenxiu's words raised the question in the minds of everyone present. The coach summoned everyone and made it clear that he wanted to take action, but the current situation is chaotic, and where to start is a big question worthy of discussion.

"Good question. Meals need to be eaten bite by bite, and roads need to be walked step by step. Where should we start first is indeed a question worth discussing. Wenxiu, what do you think?" Wufeng nodded in praise, indicating The other party continued to express their views.

Shaking her head lightly, Cui Wenxiu said, "This is a big matter. Wenxiu dare not speak nonsense. There are Luobei people behind Loulan in the Western Regions. Can you take it all at once? Although the Ganlan Fortress Sun Yuanhui is the weakest , but it is too close to Nuremberg, the southern important town of the Heathrow people, and the fortress is strong and difficult to attack. How to win is also a problem. The Taiping sect in the east is flourishing, but their battle line is too long, and there are many loopholes. It depends on what you think Already."

Although the words were cautious, they still revealed the intention to attack eastward.

"Well, Wen Xiu's words are very reasonable. I don't know if you have any other opinions. Even if you put it forward, I hope to have a different opinion, and it is best to have a well-reasoned opinion." Wufeng smiled and turned his attention to other people. people.

"Old Mu, Tianxiong, tell me what you think." Seeing that no one answered, Wu Feng had no choice but to nod.

Seeing that his boss had already called his name~IndoMTL.com~ Mu Lige touched the short beard under his chin, and replied thoughtfully: "Master Cui has just mentioned that Loulan and Ganlan Fortresses are both It is the future trouble of our Northwest. It stands to reason that if we want to make a difference, it is the best policy to solve these two nails first, but the actual situation makes us have to temporarily give up this plan. I am afraid that neither the Luobei people nor the Sithrow people will be right. We just sit back and watch their so-called allies suffer from our attack. Once this war spreads, I am afraid it will consume too much of our energy. The eastward movement is the general trend, from Lulong in the north to Longdong and then to the south Xikang, the front line spreads for nearly a thousand miles, and it can become our attack point, how it works depends on your will."

The old and steady Mulige spoke in the same way, without leaking anything.

Wufeng frowned in dissatisfaction, and before he could speak, Mulige continued, "However, Lulong and Longdong are currently guarded by the Taiping Army, only Xikang Mansion's defense is relatively weak. , but Xikang’s territory is not small, but its population is small, its economy is also the worst among the six prefectures in Kansai, and its geographical location is not very important.

"Yes, marching into Kansai is the only way for us to go out of the Northwest. The Taiping Sect is also the enemy we have to deal with first, but the timing is always not so suitable." Song Tianxiong also took the initiative to intervene, with a tone of voice But it was extremely vicious, "Either we spend some money to storm the Longdong Prefecture, cut off the connection between the Taiping Sect people in Guanxi and their lair in the north, or open up the connection with the empire."

"Then will this provoke a strong backlash from the Taiping Sect? If both the northern and southern Taiping armies fight back desperately, we will be under too much pressure." The second division division raised the question Changsha Lang, obviously he doesn't agree with this opinion.
