Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 60
The intelligence analysis meeting was very successful. Gu Dengyun and Wen Jie made special reports on behalf of the Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency respectively. They focused on the situation in the interior of the empire, Maqihan and The situation in Sanjiang, the situation of the Indochina Peninsula alliance and so on.
The intelligence agency's report focuses on comprehensive intelligence analysis, while the military intelligence agency focuses on military strategy. Wufeng is very satisfied with the performance of the two rising stars, especially Wen Jie, who was able to solve the problem in such a short period of time. It is not easy to integrate into the circle of the Military Intelligence Bureau and win the approval of the superior. Linghu Yi will not easily agree with a person, but Wufeng has heard words of approval from the Chief of the Military Intelligence Bureau several times.
The situation within the empire has undergone some subtle changes. Situ Tai's strength has been vaguely shown through his military strength. He took down the entire Donghai County in one go, defeated Situ Yuan's Tenth Army Corps and fled in embarrassment. Although there were many reasons for this month, such a symbolic city fell into the hands of Situ Tai, which made many conservative gentry in the empire who had already recognized Situ Lang's orthodox emperor status start to come alive again.
In particular, Situ Lang's weak performance in the face of the Kamanians and the Taiping Army disappointed many aristocratic families in the imperial capital. It's a surge of sentiment, asking the empire to come up with a timetable for recovering the occupied areas in various places, and return our country as soon as possible. However, the imperial army, which has been defeated repeatedly, has done everything it can to maintain the current status quo. The local dignitaries in the city were satisfied, and they united to lobby the rich and powerful families in the capital, trying to force His Majesty the Emperor to order the Imperial Guards to leave the imperial capital to join the battle against the Kamans and the Taiping Army, but this was met by Situ Lang. He resolutely refused, because once the imperial guards lost, he was afraid that his term as emperor would really come to an end, and he couldn't take this risk.
This also made many nobles gradually become disappointed with the new emperor who has not yet established sufficient authority. Although they did not dare to directly target His Majesty the Emperor, the important officials of various ministries in the court became the targets of their concentrated attacks. The tendency to support Situ Tai's ascension to the throne also quietly spread in the imperial capital and all over the north. This trend became more obvious after the entire county of Donghai, represented by Jinling City, fell into Situ Tai's hands. In addition, the First Legion defeated the invasion of the Pu'er people under the city of Beiping, forcing the Pu'er people to withdraw completely from the Beiping mansion, and the Kaman army in the Cangzhou mansion also voluntarily withdrew from Cangzhou, making Situ Tai's reputation suddenly reach an unprecedented level. Peak, as an omen, calls for making Situ Tai King of Qi quickly rose, which made Situ Lang fall into a serious crisis.
The situation in the Five Lakes area is even more mysterious. Situ Biao's latent power has begun to emerge. The big land nobles headed by the Suo family openly supported Situ Biao, and some commercial nobles also followed suit, making Situ Biao His strength completely overwhelmed Situ Jun in Wuhu, and Wen Ning's recovery gave him great prestige. With the two big granaries of Anqing and Yueyang as the backing, even in the face of drought, his logistical support was still better than others. much better. Situ Jun's power had shrunk in an all-round way. More than 100,000 troops from the Fifth Army Corps and two independent divisions were huddled in a small Huanggang Mansion. The huge financial and logistical pressure made Situ Jun almost breathless. The Maqihan people in Baling Mansion seemed to be determined to defend to the death. The garrison stationed in Baling increased from two regiments to three, approaching 100,000. Situ Biao, who originally hoped to regain Baling in one go, had to suppress With this thought in mind, facing an army of 100,000 Machi Khans, he didn't have the courage and strength to fight head-to-head with the opponent, even if he had an advantage in the navy, he didn't dare.
The external situation of the empire is equally confusing. After defeating the counterattack of the Dorton army many times, the Japanese have successfully gained a foothold in the Crescent Peninsula and began to steadily implement colonial rule. All the properties were taken into their own hands, and all the few Dorton people in the Crescent Peninsula were sold to various parts of Southeast Asia and even the Central Mainland as slaves, and a large number of Japanese began to move to the Crescent Peninsula.
This method aroused the fury of the Dorton people, but without the support of the Imperial Navy, the several sea battles launched by the Dorton Navy ended in a disastrous defeat for the Dorton people, and the two landing campaigns launched, Attempt to land from the central part of the Crescent Peninsula to outflank the back of the fortress, and because of the Japanese's strict defense and vigilance, the entire Doton army was wiped out, and batch after batch of Japanese who swarmed like locusts quickly occupied all parts of the Crescent Peninsula. At the same time, the number of Japanese civilians on the Crescent Peninsula quickly reached about 150,000, which is twice the number of residents on the Crescent Peninsula of the original masters, the Dorton people.
Gu Quan also introduced the development of the Japanese people in recent years. Liyuan Shanchuan has already unified the entire Japanese people. Except for the Tianqiu and Shengbi tribes who are still struggling, the rest of the tribes are attached to Liyuan's subordinates. It is close to three million. Due to the large number of people on the island and the lack of various resources, although the Liyuan tribe has completed most of the unification, the lives of ordinary Japanese people are still very difficult, and class conflicts are still very prominent. The civil war on the island was not very supportive, so Liyuan Shanchuan brazenly launched the Northern Expedition to the Crescent Peninsula Campaign before the unification was completed, in order to win the support of the powerful families inside.
The success of the Battle of the New Moon Peninsula not only alleviated the internal contradictions of the Japanese, but also provided a shelter for a large number of landless poor people, and also greatly stimulated the desire for expansion of the middle and upper class of the Japanese. The Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands, which were limited to the Doton people, turned their attention to the Kamchatka Island and the Lucius Islands in the east. It was only in view of the fact that the naval force of the Tanghe Empire was still strong, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses on the Crescent Peninsula, and the Crescent Peninsula still needed the support of the naval forces controlled by Situ Tai, so they did not dare to launch it.
However, a new wave of Japanese military expansion has begun. The Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands have become the best spots for Liyuan Shanchuan to attract the fanaticism of the wealthy and ordinary people. Both the standing army and the reserve army have been greatly improved. The sale of tens of thousands of civilians as slaves also provided Liyuan Shanchuan with a solid financial foundation.
From the continuous flow of transport fleets on the Atlantic Ocean to the Crescent Peninsula and Wadi, it can be seen that the Japanese people's thirst for various strategic materials needs, and the grain harvest in the Japanese land on the Atlantic Ocean has also made Liyuan Mountains and Rivers With the basis for trade, the high food prices on the mainland made Liyuan Shanchuan desperately collect all the surplus food from the local people and transport it to the mainland in exchange for strategic materials such as raw and wrought iron, weapons, cloth, lacquer, tung oil, hard wood, and copper. , The smuggling fleet was rampant for a while, and the embargo issued by the empire has become a piece of paper. As long as there is money, any material dares to enter the Wadi, and even the war horses that are very scarce in the imperial army quietly flow into the Wadi. Not small.
The crazy behavior of the Japanese made everyone here a little worried. The opinion that the Japanese will become an unprecedented enemy of the Tanghe Empire in the future has been unanimously recognized by everyone. The footsteps are getting faster and bigger, and the frequency will be faster, and the fanatical nature of their nation to worship the strong and oppress the weak is likely to make them target the declining Tanghe Empire in the near future. This can't help but make Wufeng feel a little worried, especially when his navy is not strong enough.
In contrast ~IndoMTL.com~ the actions of the Maqihan people are much gentler and gentler, but this does not mean that the Maqihan people are easier to deal with than the Japanese. The most realistic threat in Wufeng's mind is the talented politician who knows the status quo well, and the Maqihans who are staring at the side of their own territory. In particular, the decline of the Sanjiang Lin family is an opportunity. If the Maqihans capture Sanjiang, the southern territory of Wufeng will inevitably face the danger of being cut off, and Wufeng takes Sanjiang, including Yuejing and Baling. The territories that the Maqihans in the country have not conquered for a long time may become Wufeng's next delicacy, and Sanjiang has become a key point related to the rise and fall of the power of the Maqihans and the Western Xinjiang Protectorate.
Among the four present, except for Wen Jie who was not aware of the ambiguous relationship between this boss and the third miss of the Lin family, even Gu Dengyun was vaguely aware of some of it, but Wen Jie was the only one who didn't know about it, and eagerly suggested that we should attack with all our strength now Sanjiang took down Sanjiang in one fell swoop to ensure the safety of the southern territory, but he found that his proposal did not get the expected response. He was a little surprised, but seeing the strange embarrassment on the faces of the three colleagues, he thought about himself. Did it violate Wufeng's taboo in some way?
Wufeng also felt a little embarrassed, which was also the biggest trouble lingering on him. Of course, the relationship with Lin Yuexin was one reason, and the other reason was that his army's defense range was too wide, and the number of mobile troops that could be concentrated was not enough. Many, Tiannan and Myanmar have just been recovered, and he is also a little worried that he will not be able to eat too much. The approval of the Western Xinjiang Governor's Office has not yet been issued, and the recovery of Tiannan and Myanmar has not yet been officially approved by the Imperial Central Committee. I am not afraid of anything, but I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
I recommend the new work "Sea King Sacrifice" by the Skeleton Elf. By the way, I also have the audacity to ask everyone to support my new book "Magic Luck". I believe it will not disappoint everyone.
