Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

Chapter 152 Defense and Offense

Faced with the successful landing of the Daqian Zhenguo army on the territory of the foreign country.

The Yi Kingdom's headquarters announced that the entire nation had entered a state of mobilization and war.

In a public address, the chief minister of the Yi Kingdom, Honno Yo, stated that the Yi Kingdom was fully prepared for battle and vowed to fight the Qian Kingdom's army to the death.

Even if it means fighting to the last man, we must fight on resolutely.

At the same time, Honno Yo also called on all Yi people to fight against the Qian army in their own way.

Unless the barbarian people are all wiped out, no one can conquer the barbarian country!

Although the situation in the Yi Kingdom was not much better than that in the Sala Kingdom.

However, compared to the extremely low morale of the army on Sara's side and their plummeting determination to resist, coupled with the widespread fear and insecurity among the people, the situation was much better.

The overall situation in the Yi Kingdom is much better than that in the Sala Kingdom.

The fanaticism and madness that was aroused in the people of the Yi Kingdom played a significant role at this time.

Many fanatical foreigners considered "dying for their country" to be the highest honor.

Under the deliberate instigation and indoctrination of the Yi Kingdom's headquarters, many suicide squads were even spontaneously formed among the Yi people.

The day after the Daqian Zhenguo army landed on the homeland of the Yi Kingdom.

The Yi Kingdom's headquarters reacted swiftly—large quantities of individual weapons and ammunition were distributed to the local people throughout the Yi Kingdom, encouraging them to take up arms and fight to the death against the Qian Kingdom's army.

In addition to the regular army of the Yi Kingdom, various kinds of civilian armed forces have emerged in the Yi Kingdom.

What you have to admit is that the landing of the Daqian Zhenguo army on the homeland of the Yi people did not cause them to lose their will to resist.

Instead, this caused the entire Yi Kingdom to unleash even greater fighting power.

This forced the Supreme Command of the Great Qian Empire to reassess the casualty assessment of the war against the barbarians based on the actual situation in the barbarian countries.

Ultimately, after multiple comprehensive assessments and simulations, the final decision was made.

The latest conclusion reached by the Supreme Command of the Great Qian Empire is that if they want to completely conquer the barbarian kingdoms and achieve the ultimate operational goal of the Great Qian Empire...

Conservative estimates suggest that, facing a nation of universally mobilized and incredibly fanatical barbarians, the Great Qian Zhenguo Army would find it difficult to achieve its strategic objectives against the barbarians without incurring casualties exceeding one million.

However, Shen Moshen also made this very clear.

As the old saying goes, the nature of war is inherently cruel.

As long as there is war, casualties are inevitable.

To re-establish the Great Qian Empire's position in the world, fundamentally change the current situation of Great Qian, and create a more peaceful and favorable environment for the survival and development of Great Qian's future generations.

That means we must completely defeat these powerful nations that have always wanted to carve up the Great Qian Dynasty on the battlefield.

This will make all the great powers clearly aware of the military strength of the Great Qian Empire and the serious consequences of provoking it.

Therefore, this century-long battle between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Western powers can be said to be unavoidable.

This time, either the Great Qian will single-handedly overturn the entire world of great powers, or the Great Qian will be completely divided up by the great powers.

Therefore, Shen Moshen stated frankly that no matter what, Daqian must win this century-long war that will change the world order, and the Daqian Zhenguo Army has no way out.

To retreat would mean the destruction of the nation and the extinction of the race!

Therefore, no matter how heavy the cost, as long as it can help the Great Qian Dynasty win the final victory.

Then it's all worth it!

If we can exchange the bloodshed of this generation for the long-term peace and stability of future generations of the Great Qian Dynasty and establish the Great Qian Dynasty's position at the pinnacle of the world.

For the entire Great Qian Dynasty—it's definitely not a loss!

After the latest assessment report was released, Shen Moshen made it clear at the Supreme Command meeting that the war against the barbarians must be completed in accordance with the policies and strategies formulated by the Supreme Command, no matter how many casualties there are, even if there are two or three million casualties.

As for barbarian countries, they must be treated differently and with special consideration.

In Shen Moshen's words, he couldn't sleep until the Yi Kingdom was wiped off the map!

If necessary, then so be it—don't they want to fight to the death, to the last soldier?

Then let's do it their way!

We will not withdraw until we have defeated them to the last man..................

In any case, the one thing the Great Qian Dynasty has in abundance is its population.

There's absolutely no need to worry about the lack of people in those vacant territories of the Yi Kingdom.

In the end, migrating people from the Daqian region to the newly established Yi Kingdom Protectorate to reclaim and rebuild the land will actually save a lot of trouble.

the other side.

The main base of the barbarian kingdom.

"We must remain calm and composed, especially in times like these."

"The situation in Shaluo has been completely disrupted by the despicable Qian people."

"Salo CEO Kolcraw Glenn is making a series of blunders these days."

"Everything is being done according to the Qian people's rhythm; the entire Shaluo region is being led by the nose by the Qian people!"

“Shaluo’s current situation serves as a warning to us, and we must prevent such a situation from happening in the Yi Kingdom.”

"No matter what, the Yi Kingdom cannot allow the Qian Kingdom to lead it by the nose!"

"No matter how dire the situation, it is crucial that we respond to the threat from the Qian Kingdom at our own pace!"

The chief minister of the Yi Kingdom, Honno Yo, had a stern yet calm expression.

At this moment, Honno Yo possessed a kind of imposing presence, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him without him being moved.

And as it turns out, Motono Yo's composure under pressure did indeed have a very positive effect.

He revitalized the Yi people's leadership, who had been severely lacking in confidence about the current situation.

Clearly, compared to President Colcliff Glen of Sharo, Motono Yo demonstrated relatively strong adaptability and decision-making abilities when facing immense pressure and threats from the Daqian Zhenguo Army...

However, this also confirms once again the judgment of the Supreme Command of the Great Qian Dynasty on the war against the barbarians—the price to be paid for achieving a complete victory in the war against the barbarians must be enormous!

"Nitta-kun, your Navy needs to adjust its operational priorities."

"The naval and air power that the Qian Kingdom has deployed on the battlefield in the Yi Kingdom has exceeded our imagination."

"If the Imperial Navy continues to be worn down, it will be very difficult to wrest control of the sea from the Qian Kingdom."

"Right now, we must do everything we can to maximize the strategic role of our combat forces."

"Therefore, in order to make full use of the Imperial Navy, the General Headquarters has formulated a new strategic plan!"

Motono Yo turned his gaze to Nitta Naoshi, the Minister of the Navy of the Yi Kingdom, and continued, "The task of defending the Yi Kingdom's homeland is mainly undertaken by the Imperial Army."

"And the Imperial Navy's mission is..."

At this point, Honno Yo paused, looked around at everyone present, and then said, word by word, the new mission that the Imperial Navy had given to them by the General Headquarters: "To launch an attack and harassment against the homeland of the Qian Kingdom!"

Honno Yo's words startled the foreign generals attending the meeting.

They even wondered if they had misheard!

Invade the Qian Kingdom's homeland?

at this time?

Is this a joke...?

Immediately, the meeting room was filled with discussion.

Clearly, most of the barbarian generals could not understand Motono Yo's latest plan.......................

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

"Gentlemen, you heard me right!"

"What I just said—the new mission of the Imperial Navy is to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the homeland of Qian Kingdom!"

"I know this operation plan sounds incredible to everyone."

"However, this is a decision I made after careful consideration of the current predicament facing the empire."

"I believe this is the best way for us to deal with the Daqian Zhenguo Army!"

"Your first thought when you heard about this plan was—that the guy who came up with it must be crazy!"

"That's right! The fact that you have this idea proves the feasibility of this plan."

With a serious expression, Motono Yo said, "Even you couldn't have imagined this plan coming to fruition, let alone the people of Qian Kingdom!"

"The best defense is the best offense."

"We're going to attack and defend at the same time!"

"The people of Qian Kingdom would never have imagined that, under the current circumstances, we would actually attack Qian Kingdom's homeland!"

"This provides us with excellent conditions for a surprise attack in our next operation."

"We don't necessarily need to conquer a lot of Qian Kingdom's territory; harassment, plunder, and retaliation are the main themes."

"We must make the people of Qian understand that the military action of the Great Qian Zhenguo Army on the territory of the barbarian country will require Qian to pay a heavy price."

"Although we cannot directly confront the Qian Kingdom's naval fleet, we can still do a good job of harassing their coastal areas and shifting our targets to Qian Kingdom's unarmed groups!"

Honno Yo waved his clenched fist, his eyes filled with ruthlessness and fanaticism.

The foreign generals present all knew perfectly well what the "unarmed groups" that Honno Yo was referring to were.

As Motono Yo's thinking unfolded, everyone understood the key points and objectives of this new operational plan.

The Imperial Navy's actions against the Qian Kingdom's homeland were both an attack on the Great Qian and a form of retaliation.

Soon, the generals of the barbarian kingdoms grasped the essence of Honno Yo's plan.

That is—we cannot allow the Great Qian Zhenguo Army to wreak havoc on the homeland of the barbarian states.

They also need to make the people of Qian Kingdom taste the bitterness of their homeland being ravaged.

Moreover, there was something that Honno Yo didn't say aloud—even if the Yi Kingdom was ultimately defeated, they had already made the Qian Kingdom people pay a heavy price in their own way.

If we can't win on the front lines, then we'll turn our guns on the people of Daqian.

The main theme is mutual harm!

It must be said that Motono Yo's arrangement was very much in line with the usual style of the Yi Kingdom.

"The Imperial Navy's mission is just as important as that of the Imperial Army!"

"The Yi Kingdom is now facing the greatest survival crisis in its history."

"Therefore, we must unite and focus all our energy on how to deal with the Qian people."

"Regardless of the past competitive relationship between the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy..."

Motono Yo gave a meaningful look to Japanese Army Minister Inai Shinichi and Japanese Navy Minister Nitta Naoki: "I hope to start from this moment."

"The Navy and the Army must set aside past grievances, cooperate sincerely, and jointly resist foreign enemies!"

"Only in this way can we save the fate of the entire barbarian kingdom!"

"Perhaps our strategy of balancing defense and offense will have a surprising effect."

"Although the Imperial Navy's offensive was mainly harassment."

"But if the opportunity arises, we can certainly deploy landing forces to the Qian Kingdom's mainland to achieve a strategic effect."

"This also requires close cooperation between the Army and the Navy to complete!"

After speaking, Motono Yo's gaze swept over Inai Shinichi and Nitta Nao again, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"Commander Motono, for the future of the Empire, our Navy will certainly complete the mission assigned to us by General Headquarters."

"And..." Nitta stood up and looked at Inai Shinichi, who had also stood up, opposite him: "We will definitely cooperate fully with the Army Ministry to help the Empire overcome this critical juncture!"

"Inai-kun, if the Army needs our Navy's cooperation, please be sure to communicate with us as soon as possible."

"We will definitely cooperate fully and without reservation!"

"Nitta-kun, the same goes for our Army Ministry!"

"We are all fighting for the empire, and our goals are the same."

"I believe that with our joint efforts, the Imperial Army will surely drive the shameless Qian people out of the barbarian lands!"

Then, Shinichi Inai and Naoto Nitta solemnly saluted each other.

The other army and navy generals present also stood up and staged a scene of "burying the hatchet" between the army and navy in front of Motono Yo.

"Very good, that's right." Motono Yo looked at the statements of the two groups, waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and said the meeting would continue.

After everyone was seated again, Motono Yo cast an approving glance at Inai Shinichi and Nitta Naoto: "Today, seeing the Army and Navy reconcile is definitely a day worth celebrating."

"The Army and Navy are having a joint event tonight, and I will attend in person!"

"We must use our actions to make the people of Qian understand that it is simply wishful thinking to conquer the Great Yi Empire."

"The barbarian kingdoms will definitely not be as incompetent as Sara!"

“All the barbarian people are prepared to die rather than live in dishonor.”

As he spoke, Honno Yo instructed Ii Go, the head of the intelligence headquarters of the foreign country, "The culprit behind all of this is that Shen Moshen."

"This Shen Moshen is the greatest public enemy of the entire Yi Kingdom!"

"Whoever can deal with this person will be the empire's greatest hero!"

"The intelligence headquarters must do everything in its power to devise an assassination plan against Shen Moshen."

"Shen Moshen is a huge threat to the entire empire as long as he lives!"

Honno Yo gritted his teeth and said, "Even if it costs a million elite troops to save Shen Moshen's life, it would be worth it!"

Without a doubt, the name Shen Moshen became a nightmare for the entire Yi Kingdom, and also the most hated public enemy of all Yi people.

Every time Benye Yang mentions the name "Shen Moshen," he loses control of his emotions...

"No matter what methods the intelligence headquarters uses, the assassination of Shen Moshen must continue until he is completely eliminated!"

Honno Yo said viciously, "Perhaps, as long as we get rid of Shen Moshen, all the crises that Yi Kingdom is currently facing will be resolved!"

"It is precisely because of Shen Moshen's existence that such a terrifying Qian Kingdom was born!"
