On the other side, in the capital of Yan Kingdom, the regent Su Kouye has not attended the national security meeting for three days since the fall of Diaolong Island. Some people say that Su Kouye collapsed. Some people say that Su Kouye was seriously injured in the battle of Diaolong Island. Life or death was unknown, and some people said that Su Kouye had no face to face the people, so he hid. There are different opinions in the capital, and it is enough to show that the failure of Diaolong Island is indeed a huge setback for the entire country.
Su Kouye sat in his private luxury office, watching the video on the big screen. His former self gave a high-spirited speech, saying that Diaolong Island was the dignity of the country and could not be lost even if he died.
Indeed, Su Kouye once firmly believed in this. As long as Diaolong Island was not lost, the war could be won. For this reason, he had been working hard and ordered batch after batch of warships to sail to Diaolong Island. Group after group of soldiers invested in Diaolong Island, and almost the entire East China Sea Fleet was invested.
But Su Kou never dreamed that Xiao Yifeng was an out-and-out lunatic. He had no reservations at all. He also invested almost all the navy and overdrafted the national treasury to fight this war. Who would have thought that Diaolong Island, with its extremely high barrier durability, would be subjected to countless bombardments and missile impacts every minute and every second. In less than five days, there would be very little barrier left.
In order to save face and not lose, Su Kouye once again carried out a major support when the barrier was almost unable to hold up. It was this huge support that brought the entire East China Sea Fleet on board.
Maritime transportation and support are not as flexible as land because the field of view is vast and the routes are easy to detect. The Menes Empire quickly identified the fleet carrying a large amount of blue ore and violently intercepted and blocked it.
In order to break through the blockade of the Menes Empire Navy, Xuntian forcibly led three fleets to break through. In the end, they were defeated miserably, and Xuntian himself was captured.
All the blue ores fell into the cold sea and were frantically snatched by the fishmen.
The furious Su Kouye almost lost his mind. He sent out search and rescue teams one after another, but they all failed to return. In the deep sea, it was really difficult for humans to fight against the fishmen. Finally, under the dissuasion of the navy marshal, Su Kouye gave up the search and rescue, and the huge amount of blue ore fell into the hands of the fishmen.
This time, the troops arrived, supplies arrived, weapons and equipment arrived, but the blue ore fell to the bottom of the sea.
If the blue mine is still there and the barrier is still there, the Yan Kingdom will continue to maintain its advantage in the battle on Diaolong Island. However, once the barrier is lost, it will become very dangerous to stay on Diaolong Island. Once the island is broken, all soldiers will face destruction.
If the order is given at this time to concentrate all the troops and fleets and force a breakthrough, they will definitely be able to break through, and the evacuation will be successful in the end, preserving the effectiveness of the East China Sea Fleet. But Su Kouye, who was eager for revenge, was stunned. He ordered to continue fighting with Xiao Yifeng. Even if the fish were dead and the net was broken, the fish people and Xiao Yifeng's naval power would still be destroyed.
In the end, Diaolong Island became a hell on earth, a battlefield meat grinder. Every minute and every second, people were either killed or killed.
In fact, for the US military, Marshal Marshall had repeatedly suggested that Xiao Yifeng temporarily retreat. Su Kouye had gone crazy, and there was no point in fighting him to the death. Because even if they win, Diaolong Island will be nothing more than a ruin, and the empire will not get any benefits or benefits.
Xiao Yifeng never expected that the first battle with Yan Kingdom would turn into a decisive battle, and he did not want to pay a huge price in exchange for a ruined Diaolong Island.
However, as the war has raged so far, Diaolong Island is about the majesty and face of a country. Even if no benefits are gained, this war cannot be lost. You know, the Menis Empire has always boasted that it has the most powerful navy in the world. Now that the empire is cooperating with the fish people, if it cannot conquer Diaolong Island and if it retreats, then where will the empire's face be and where will Xiao Yifeng's face go?
If you fight this battle, you will be scolded by the people, and if you don't fight, you will be scolded by the people. But as long as you win, the people's support rate for Xiao Yifeng will still be very high. After all, you have won.
In fact, Su Kouye's thoughts are similar to Xiao Yifeng's. Diaolong Island is about the dignity of a country. Losing it means losing the East China Sea. Losing it means that the door of the country has been opened, so he will fight to the end. .
However, all of this is a cunning plan by the fishmen.
Diaolong Island held back the main force of the Yan Kingdom's navy. The fishmen's fleet took advantage of the emptiness of the Yan Kingdom's coastline to launch a sneak attack. In just a few days, they captured many port cities. This is tantamount to strangling Yanguo's transportation lifeline. Yanguo has been trapped on land, and its autonomy at sea has almost been lost.
Su Kouye had been fighting for so many years, and in just half a month, he faced the biggest defeat in his life. Diaolong Island was gone, Ningbo Port was gone, Zhoushan Port was gone, and more than ten port cities in a row, all Occupied by the fishmen.
Now, Su Kouye could only urgently tighten his troops to guard Wangcheng. But after experiencing this setback, Su Kouye became haggard and unwilling to attend any public meetings.
Cai Huadao sent a messenger hurriedly for eight hundred miles, asking Jiang Wei to return to the capital and take charge of the overall situation as a princess.
Jiang Wei also knew about Su Kouye's situation, and he also knew that Wangcheng was once again in danger. But she doesn't plan to go back, because the north will also face an unprecedented problem.
Cangzhou City in the north has long become the political, economic, and military center of the north. There are many developed cities nearby, especially the provincial capital Baoding City, Xia Yashuang's Huizhou City, Zoe's Yunlan City, and the coastal city Laizhou City. Wait, they are all quite developed cities, and they will export huge profits to Cangzhou City every month. Therefore, the Great Wall Army in the north cannot easily return to Wangcheng. Once they go back, the situation in the north will be instantly turbulent.
Another troublesome thing is that the attitude of the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods has reached the point where it has to impose sanctions.
Even before the Battle of Diaolong Island began, Fan Qian had made many envoys to the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods, asking for help from the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods. The Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods also has a navy. Although it is not developed, it has ten large ships. General Dou is the commander of the navy. It is equipped with various modern weapons. It can be said that it is stylish and has a certain combat effectiveness. The Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods originally had a grudge against the Menes Empire. This time the Menes Empire maliciously invaded the continent of Asia, the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods should have taken a stand. As a result, the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods didn't show anything, and it had an attitude that it had nothing to do with them.
You must know that Nanman Country, Kane Country, Lie Country, etc. have all given certain help to Yan Country. For example, more than 30% of the blue mines stolen by the fishmen were donated by other countries. As for the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods, it’s okay if they don’t come forward even if they have a navy. They don’t provide any resources and don’t help at all. This is really unreasonable.
If the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods is such a timid country, then Jiang Wei must consider whether to pay the price to completely eliminate the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods.
You must know that the Long March Army has had a major goal since its establishment, which is to resist threats from the north. This threat may be from the kingdom of ghosts and gods, or it may come from people or creatures underground. The current Long March Army is different from the Long March Army two years ago. Nowadays, the number of troops is as high as more than 500,000. The more than 500,000 here are regular troops with a regular establishment. If you include the reserve army, recruits, and militia, the total strength exceeds one million.
As long as Jiang Wei is willing, the Great Wall Army can directly expedition to the north. There are only three main cities in the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods, Langfang City, Dijing City (formerly Imperial City), and Xiyuan City. In addition to Xiyuan City, which is extremely far away, Nalangfang City and Dijing City are extremely close to Cangzhou. If the Great Wall Army is deployed in full force, it will take less than half a month to capture these two cities.
Of course, the cost should be high, and whether to fight or not depends on the overall situation and interests.
As for Jiang Wei, she had never thought of attacking the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods before, but now, she had this idea.
Because Wangcheng has now reached its most dangerous moment.
If Jiang Wei abandons the north and leads all the Great Wall Army southward, there should be no problem in keeping Wangcheng, but it will give the Ghost Kingdom an advantage. If the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods takes advantage of people's danger, all the important cities in the north will be affected. That means Jiang Wei can't go south.
Since there is no way to go south, it is better to launch a war, because Yan Kingdom is in urgent need of a victory. This victory will have a great deterrent effect and prove to the world that Yan Kingdom has not collapsed yet, and still has strength and the ability to resist any attack. External aggression. The Menes Empire invaded the Yan State to obtain benefits. If it does not get benefits for a long time, or finds that the Yan State is not easy to eat, the Menes Empire may eventually choose to retreat.
And Jiang Wei is confident that she can win this battle, although the cost should be high.
In addition, the Guishen Kingdom has been uncooperative and has a bad attitude. For the sake of Yan Kingdom's international image, some tough measures must be taken.
So Jiang Wei now began to electrify all the important towns in the north, gather troops, and mobilize siege equipment.
On the other side, the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods, Langfang City.
King Fengdu was experiencing the latest 3D movie, but General Bing suddenly broke in.
Among the many generals, only General Bing had the courage to disturb Feng Du's entertainment.
"Looking at your expression, it doesn't look like you came to watch with me." Feng Du looked at General Dou.
General Dou looked at the maids on the left and right, and said politely: "You all should exit first."
The two maids looked at Feng Du, and Feng Du said helplessly: "Back off, back off."
After the people left, General Dou closed the door and said anxiously: "Jiang Wei is making big moves in the north. It seems that he is mobilizing troops from various important military towns."
"We should go south to Wangcheng. Wangcheng is in crisis, and Jiang Wei has no reason not to save it."
"You might as well not save him and come directly to us."
"What? Why are you coming at us?"
"We did not agree to aid, nor did we make any representations, so we could be considered to have established a relationship with the Yan Kingdom. Of course, Jiang Wei is not a stingy person. Her main reason for the Northern Expedition should be to reorganize the Yan Kingdom through a victory. National prestige.”
"That's not true. Wangcheng is in trouble. Instead of helping, she provokes me instead? Is she crazy?"
"Because the Great Wall Army cannot do without the north. There are Xia Yashuang and Zoe in the north. These two people nominally belong to the Yan Kingdom, but in fact as long as the Great Wall Army is not there, they are wild horses that have escaped. Rather than losing the important north, it is better to force Xia Yashuang and Zoe The Northern Expedition together with the Long March Army can actually bring a victory to the Yan Kingdom." General Dou analyzed.
