Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Fuso Empire, Xijing, and the Emperor's Palace.

Chief of the Army General Staff Prince Utsujihei, Army Minister Watanabe Masaya, Chief of the Naval General Staff Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke, Navy Minister Ueda Kazusaburo and other top army and navy officials gathered together.

Emperor Tamehito sat high on the throne, looking down at them, his face serious, and his tone calm, he said: "Gentlemen, aren't you going to explain what happened in the island city?

The Imperial Sixth Division landed on the island city, and before they even got off the boats, they had suffered more than 6000 casualties.

The navy's escort fleet was completely wiped out, and not a single warship returned.

If this news gets out, the empire will probably become the laughing stock of the entire East Continent and even the whole world.

By then, the warlords of the ancient country will no longer respect us, and no one will choose to be an ally with a loser.

I need a solution, a solution that can completely get rid of that damned Restoration Army."

As the conversation went on, the emperor's emotions began to fluctuate.

It was obvious that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

At this time, the two right-hand men of the royal family had no choice but to stand up.

"Your Majesty, according to Lieutenant General Yamada Torao's report, the Restoration Army is already waiting for us to land in the island city, and they have laid a tight net there..."

"I don't want to hear your explanations now. I need a solution. How should we deal with the Renaissance Army next?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The Renaissance Army is really too troublesome.

Take the navy for example, they have already deeply experienced the power of the Renaissance Army's aircraft.

Fortunately, the Renaissance Army does not have an aircraft carrier, otherwise the Combined Fleet would not dare to set foot in the vast ocean.

Of course, they don’t dare to get too close to the land now.

Whether it's day or night.

The bombing of the island city also means that the Restoration Army has the ability to bomb at night.

So they did not dare to send the landing troops ashore easily.

The army has no better solution.

The navy's ships didn't dare get too close to the land. They couldn't swim over.

"What? Is this Restoration Army so powerful? It's making the ministers of the empire afraid to speak?"

Seeing his trusted minister in this state, the emperor's tone gradually became cold.

Prince Utsuribei suddenly had an idea, and he stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, there may be someone in our army who has a solution.

After the rise of the Renaissance Army, this person began to study it. He believed that this Renaissance Army might become the empire's most powerful enemy in the future."

And now it has been proven that he was right.

This aroused Emperor Tamehito's great interest.

"Announce him to come in!"

"Hi!"

Less than half an hour later, Major General Ishihara Nobuji, Director of the First Department of the General Staff, walked in with the eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, this is Major General Ishihara Shinji, Chief of the First Department of the General Staff."

The Emperor nodded and looked at him and asked, "Do you have any ideas for dealing with the Restoration Army?"

In everyone's eyes, the Renaissance Army has become the empire's number one enemy and the biggest obstacle for them to gain benefits in the ancient country.

It can be seen from this meeting that they have reached a consensus, which is to deal with the Renaissance Army.

"Your Majesty, the Restoration Army can no longer be defeated head-on. We must change our strategy.

The navy has suffered a series of defeats at the hands of the Restoration Army, losing dozens of ships, yet they haven't caused any damage to the Restoration Army. Therefore, I suggest deploying forces from the land."

The Chief of the Naval General Staff, Prince Ryunosuke Nagashima, was immediately furious: "Baga, if we didn't need to cover your army's landing, would our navy have lost so many ships?

We are already researching ways to counter the Restoration Army's aircraft, and it won't be long before we regain the upper hand."

This is true.

The navy has relatively sufficient military funds and resources.

They have begun developing anti-aircraft artillery and a new generation of fighter jets.

As long as they can make breakthroughs in these two areas, they will have the ability to deal with the Renaissance Army's fighter jets.

But these all take time.

Prince Uturibei smiled faintly and said calmly, "Is that so? But you don't have any solution right now, while we do have a way to deal with the Restoration Army."

Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke snorted coldly and said, "I'd like to hear your army's opinions."

The reason why Ishihara Nobuji fired at the navy at this time was naturally not simply to belittle the navy, but for the subsequent competition for resources.

If the next action is led by the army, then both military expenditure and resources will be tilted towards the army.

This is the real reason why he started to criticize right away.

Watching the battle between the army and navy, Emperor Tamhito had no intention of intervening.

If there is no fighting between the army and navy, then his throne will be in danger, so the army and navy must fight.

"Tell me about your layout."

Yu Ren also understood Ishihara Shinji's intention, so he just said it lightly.

"Hi!

Your Majesty, it is now a foregone conclusion that the Renaissance Army will occupy Qidong Province, and no person or force can change that.

They also occupied the two provinces of Yanbei and Guiyuan.

This almost formed a three-sided siege on China's northern border.

If we allow the Renaissance Army to attack the northern border and take over the Zhili region, I'm afraid the Renaissance Army will unify the entire ancient country."

The Northern Frontier cannot stop the current Renaissance Army, and the Southern Alliance cannot stop the Renaissance Army from taking over the entire north.

After hearing Major General Ishihara Shinji's analysis, everyone listened attentively with bated breath.

“So the empire needs to send troops to the north to help the northern border defend its existing territory, especially Zhili, which cannot be lost.

Once the Fuxing Army destroys the Northern Frontier, it will be unstoppable.

Unless we can recreate the Eight-Nation Alliance of the last century."

But the great powers all have their own ulterior motives, so how could they possibly unite again? Everyone present understood this.

Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke sneered at this time and said, "If that's all, I think you don't need to continue.

Anyone who is not a fool can probably figure this out."

Major General Ishihara Shinji smiled gently and continued, "Your Highness, don't worry, this is just the first step.

The empire must do everything possible to help Yuan Shicheng defend his existing territory and curb the expansion of the Renaissance Army. It cannot allow them to expand further.

The second step is to break the deadlock.

If we want to break the impasse, we can only start with the Saibei Army."

"As far as I know, the Saibei Army has already established a solid defense line in Andong, with a troop strength exceeding 15.

If the empire wants to break through this line of defense, it will probably need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources.

Besides, the Fuxing Army and the Saibei Army are allies.

If we attack the Saibei Army, the Fuxing Army will definitely send troops. What should we do then?"

The speaker was Army Minister Masaya Watanabe.

His words also raised the question in everyone's mind.

Ishihara Shinji smiled confidently and said, "No matter how strong a fortress is, it is often easy to break through from the inside. The Saibei Army is not strong from the inside. Then we will unite with the north and give them Heilongjiang Province in exchange for their sending troops to Saibei. Under our two-way attack, the Saibei Army will definitely not be able to stop it.

After taking over the northern border, the empire will obtain the resources and population of the two provinces in the northern border, and can also form a pincer attack from the north and south with the northern border against the Renaissance Army.

As long as we digest the resources of the two provinces in the northern part of the Great Wall, the strength of the empire can be raised to a higher level.

By then, dealing with the Renaissance Army will be much easier.

I believe that a single warlord force cannot withstand the siege and suppression by the entire empire."

Everyone understood Ishihara Shinji's plan, which was indeed a very good plan.

It is necessary to give Heilongjiang Province to the Russians, which makes Yu Ren frown.

But if there is no benefit, how could the Russians send troops?

Even Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke's eyes lit up at this plan.

If we can capture the two provinces of Andong and Songjiang, it will be of great benefit to the navy.

If the coal and iron from the two provinces could be transported back to the empire, their navy would be able to obtain more steel to build warships.

As long as there is enough funding, the warships lost by the navy can be quickly replenished.

Major General Ishihara Shinji's plan was also approved by the army and navy and even Emperor Tamashii.

Ishihara Nobuji's plan was approved, which also meant that Saito Province had become a discarded pawn.

As for the 20th Division and the 6th Division...the General Staff's order was to hold on to the death.

As long as we can gain a foothold in the island city, we will be able to plant a nail in Qidong Province, which may play an important role in the next operation.

Jiang Hua was very satisfied with the encouraging progress of the First and Second Legions.

Now Yanbei Province and Guiyuan Province have been taken, and half of Qidong Province has also been taken.

As long as he takes over Quancheng and Daocheng, he will own four provinces.

The total population of Yanbei and Guiyuan provinces is just over five million. Together with the more than six million people in Beire Province, the total population is more than 600 million.

If we add the 35 million people in Qidong Province, the total population can reach about 47 million.

The current total population of the entire ancient country is only 450 million.

Forty-seven million people also account for about one-tenth of the total population.

This population is already very large compared to many Western countries.

If he could make use of his population advantage, his strength would be raised to several levels.

In terms of area, the total area of ​​Beihe Province is 18 square kilometers.

The areas of Yanbei Province, Guiyuan Province and Qidong Province are 28, 32 and 15 respectively.

The total area of the four provinces reaches 93 square kilometers.

The total land area of the ancient country is about 10 million square kilometers, which also accounts for one-tenth of the total area.

Compared with the previous area where there was only one province, Beire, its strength has been greatly improved.

As the jurisdiction area becomes larger, many problems will be exposed.

For example, the problem of too few garrison troops.

Therefore, the Fuxing Army will continue to expand its military, and the direction of expansion will be the second-line garrison forces.

These garrisons only need to be composed of Red Alert soldiers as their core, and then recruit soldiers from society. (Red Alert soldiers still need to be paid. They are human beings and need to live. They will marry and have children in the future, so military pay cannot be saved.)

Jiang Hua plans to expand the strength of four second-line garrison divisions.

Two are placed in the north and two are placed in Qidong Province.

This will free up frontline combat troops from local garrisons.

Moreover, the garrison troops are equivalent to the filling-in troops in the game, following behind the main force to occupy territory.

In addition to the need to expand the garrison troops, the engineering corps also needs to be expanded.

Because Jiang Hua was planning to build a railway from Chengbei City in Beire Province to Saibei, and at the same time connect the three provinces of Beire Province, Yanbei Province and Guiyuan Province with railways.

This railway also leads to the northwest region of the ancient country.

Given the current size of the Fuxing Army, if it wants to deploy troops on a large scale, the railways must keep up.

As for the main force, ten divisions are more than enough.

If there are more, it will put great pressure on the economy.

Although he seized tens of millions of dollars from the landlords and wealthy people in the three provinces.

But all this money is used to develop local people's livelihood, agriculture, transportation, industry, education, etc., so the military expenditure can only be used from the base's funds.

(I have to go to the city to do some things in the evening, so I will update 6,000 words today. I will resume updating 10,000 words tomorrow, which can be regarded as a day of rest)
