Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

The Secret Intelligence Service has always been reliable in its efficiency.

According to the intelligence information provided by Wu Huaiyu, who spoke frankly and without reservation.

A team of elite agents from the Secret Intelligence Bureau was quickly and secretly deployed outside Jicheng City with the cooperation of the Daqian Air Force.

Then, with the help of an inside man arranged by Wu Huaiyu, they infiltrated Jicheng undetected.

The special forces' mission in Jicheng was either to capture Zhuo Yongwang alive and bring him back to the capital, or to kill him in Jicheng to end the matter once and for all.

With Zhuo Yongwang dead, the problems in the five provinces of Jizhou were actually solved.

The secret intelligence agency devised two plans: first, based on Wu Huaiyu's suggestion, to contact Yang Guodong, the commander of the Jicheng garrison, to see if they could directly turn him to defection.

Secondly, with the help of Wu Huaiyu's men left in Jicheng, they would start with Zhuo Yongwang's driver, aiming to capture Zhuo Yongwang by first capturing the kingpin.

If either of these two solutions succeeds, it will perfectly solve the problem in Jizhou.

After learning about the defense deployment plan for Jizhou and the defense system of Jicheng from Wu Huaiyu, Shen Moshen was quite certain of the value of Wu Huaiyu's defection.

Because, from the perspective of the overall defense deployment, the defense deployment in Kilju is secondary.

However, Jicheng, which Zhuo Yongwang called the world's most fortified city, is truly awe-inspiring.

After so many years of continuous strengthening, Jicheng's defense system can absolutely be described as "abnormal"!

Back then, the defense experts of Salo said that Jicheng's defensive system could withstand a strong attack from a million-strong army. This statement, in retrospect, is quite an accurate assessment of Jicheng today.

The entire city of Jicheng employed a large number of sunken bunker defensive fortifications.

It can perfectly reduce the damage from enemy air bombardment and heavy artillery bombardment to a minimum.

Moreover, the engineering requirement that Zhuo Yongwang initially gave to each defensive position in Jicheng was that it must be able to withstand the bombardment of at least 10,000 shells!

The fortification's sturdiness is evident...................

In addition, the entire Jicheng defense system is equipped with the best firepower under Zhuo Yongwang's command. The defensive firepower network composed of light and heavy machine guns and various types of concealed cannons is virtually impenetrable!

The mobile defense capabilities of the ring-city armored train are truly exceptional!

Furthermore, Jicheng's overall defense has been significantly strengthened with enhanced air defense deployments to counter the Daqian Zhenguo Army's superior air power.

It is said that the Salo people also provided Zhuo Yongwang with great assistance in this regard.

To help Jicheng strengthen its air defense capabilities, Shaluo provided Zhuo Yongwang with a batch of high-quality air defense weapons free of charge.

According to the intelligence provided by Wu Huaiyu, Zhuo Yongwang has deployed more than 3000 anti-aircraft guns of various types throughout Jicheng!

This air defense capability is undeniably strong.

Therefore, if the Daqian Zhenguo army really wants to launch a strong attack on Jicheng, it will definitely not be able to take it without paying some casualties.

The Battle of Jicheng could very well become the toughest siege battle ever fought by the Daqian Zhenguo Army.

Furthermore, if the city is besieged and Zhuo Yongwang is determined to lead his troops in a defensive battle, the Jicheng battlefield will most likely devolve into a meat grinder-like conflict...

Therefore, how to peacefully capture Jicheng without fighting became the best option for the Imperial Supreme Command.

Wu Huaiyu's last-minute defection undoubtedly provided the most convenient conditions for this to be carried out......................

-------------------------------------

"Three days later, Zhuo Yongwang will come to inspect the defenses of Jicheng."

"At noon, we will have lunch with division-level officers at the garrison command headquarters."

"If we're going to take action, I think that day would be the best opportunity."

"However, Zhuo Yongwang has been operating in Jizhou for so many years, and he still has a group of loyal followers around him."

“Especially in Jicheng now, the city is full of Zhuo Yongwang’s direct troops.”

"The officers at the division commander level in the city are basically all Zhuo Yongwang's loyalists."

"There are a few who wouldn't even blink if Zhuo Yongwang told them to die right now."

"Therefore, if we are to start an uprising, we must control Zhuo Yongwang alive as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, I worry that some die-hards in Jicheng will disregard everything and seek revenge for Zhuo Yongwang."

"In that case, we'll be in a very passive position..."

Jicheng Garrison Commander Yang Guodong explained in detail the current difficulties they are facing.

"Commander Yang, we had already considered these issues before we came here."

Xu Qingfan, the defection specialist who came to contact Yang Guodong on behalf of the Secret Intelligence Bureau, immediately reassured Yang Guodong: "Zhuo Yongwang's driver and bodyguard captain have agreed to cooperate with our operation."

"With their cooperation, it shouldn't be too difficult to take Zhuo Yongwang into custody at your garrison command during the banquet, right?"

Yang Guodong, who had long harbored ulterior motives, immediately expressed his stance upon contact with the secret intelligence agency—he must cooperate!

"You also took down Zhuo Yongwang's bodyguard captain, Zhuo Dayong?"

Yang Guodong was somewhat surprised to hear this: "This Zhuo Dayong is Zhuo Yongwang's godson."

“His surname used to be Li, but he changed it after Zhuo Yongwang took him in as his godson.”

"Zhuo Dayong is completely devoted to Zhuo Yongwang, how did you manage to win him over?"

"It's very simple. We just managed to convince Zhuo Dayong's girlfriend, and the whole thing fell into place naturally."

"Therefore, this person must use the right method."

"As long as the right methods are used, all problems will be solved."

Xu Qingfan shrugged: "Commander Yang, how is it?"

"With Zhuo Dayong's cooperation, you should be fine on your end, right?"

“If that’s the case, then the whole thing becomes much simpler.” Yang Guodong immediately patted his chest and said, “As long as Zhuo Dayong is willing to cooperate.”

"This will definitely work!"
