Chapter 1436, a difficult expedition

"Forget it, talking about money is hurting your feelings. Since the initiative is completely in your hands, then Brother Ning Yuan, you will decide what we can get and what we should pay!"

After hesitating for a while, Li Tianqi smiled and shook his head.

What he wanted most was to maintain independence. Since Ning Yuan would not make any concessions at this point, he might as well just give the decision to Ning Yuan directly and let Ning Yuan decide everything next.

After all, in the future, the players of their Tianfeng Knights will have to make a living under Ning Yuan's hands, and his cheap father-in-law will have to rely on Ning Yuan's breath to live a good life.

If he had an unhappy relationship with Ning Yuan because of some vested interests, they would definitely suffer in the future.

So it’s better to be more generous and give all the rights to Ningyuan and let him take charge of the family.

Seeing that Li Tianqi suddenly became so peaceful, Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment and quickly figured out the joints.

He looked at Li Tianqi who was about to accept his fate, and smiled heartily: "Brother Tianqi, since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down your trust in me.

For my own people, as long as I don’t touch my bottom line, I will never let my own people suffer.

Let's do this, I will give him the Grand Duke of Sinai, and the fief is tentatively designated as Aqaba County. From now on, 20% of the income from Aqaba harbor will belong to your cheap father-in-law.

As for you and your Tianfeng Knights, you must be incorporated into the Tenglong Army.

From now on, you will be the Tenglong Tianfeng Knights under the Tenglong Army. Your title is Duke of Tianfeng, and there is no fief at the moment, but you can choose an island nearby as your permanent fief.

The above is the separate treatment I give to you and your cheap father-in-law, and you can still enjoy all the treatments of other nobles in the Condor Empire.

How about it, Brother Tianqi, are you satisfied with my arrangement?"

"Although it's much worse than what other countries give, who asked you to give the most insurance? Then that's what you're going to do."

Looking at Ning Yuan with a smile, Li Tianqi also responded with a smile.

"That's natural. Even if other people ask you to continue to be kings, when the army of my Condor Empire is coming, you will become nothing in an instant.

And the things I promised to you are basically impossible to cause any changes.

Although you see that the title of the Condor Empire is not very valuable now, as time goes by, you will find that the title of the Condor Empire will become more and more noble, and it is still something that even if you have money, because only I can enthrone it.

Even if we all don’t play this game in the future, our descendants who stay in the game can still continue to enjoy everything we left for them.

What is to entrust your wife and son? This is to entrust your wife and son."

After comforting Li Tianqi for a little while, Ning Yuan changed the subject and continued: "Brother Tianqi, we should discuss how to support you next.

Before deciding how many troops you send, I would like to ask first, how much food your Ram Principal has now and how many troops you can supply to stay with you for the first half of the year.”

"Including the 60,000 troops of our Principality of Ram, I estimate that the entire Principality of Ram will be able to accept at most 100,000 troops. If there are more, you will have to carry your own logistics supplies."

After pondering for a moment, Li Tianqi replied solemnly.

"One hundred thousand troops, including your sixty thousand, that is, one hundred sixty thousand troops.

These 160,000 troops are likely to face three attacks from three countries, so they must be the elite among the elite..."

Ning Yuan muttered to himself, while constantly filtering every army of the Condor Heroes Empire in his mind.

This time, the Duchy of Ram's request for help was a very good opportunity for the Condor Empire, and it was also accompanied by huge risks.

Before, Ning Yuan had thought of attacking the Arabian Peninsula by sea and then breaking into the Persian Plateau, causing the enemy to be attacked from both sides.

However, on the Arabian Peninsula, the Condor Empire had no place to settle down, and the entire Middle East was shrouded in the air-banning area, which made Ning Yuan dare not easily work his troops to make an expedition.

Now the Duchy of Ram's request for help allowed Ning Yuan to see the dawn of opening a breakthrough in the Arabian Peninsula, so the moment Li Tianqi took the initiative to find him, he had already made up his mind to use the Principality of Ram as the foothold of the Condor Empire on the Arabian Peninsula.

Although there is a place to settle now, due to the national strength of the Principality of Ram and the distance between the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Aqaba, even if the Condor Empire has an invincible maritime fleet, the difficulty of logistics supply is very great.

It would take more than 10,000 kilometers to transport logistics supplies from the Bay of Bengal to the Aqaba area. If something happens to the fleet at sea, the front-line troops will probably be hungry.

Think about the main force of the Central Asian and Middle East coalition forces who are now trapped in the Kazakh Khanate, Ning Yuan does not want to repeat their mistakes on the Arabian Peninsula, so he must consider a series of logistical issues.

After thinking about it, Ning Yuan believed that relying solely on the supply of the Principal of Ram would not work, because Turkmenistan did not know how long it would take to fight. The army supporting the Principal of Ram might have to stay in the Principal of Ram for a year and a half.

The logistics supply transportation from the Condor Empire to the Principality of Ram is even more unworkable, because the food in Bangladesh is also limited, and the army in the Condor Empire is larger.

If you forcefully pull too much food away from there, it will probably affect the protracted war strategy there.

After the Principality of Ram and sea transportation were not very reliable, Ning Yuan thought of a strategy to solve it on the spot.

He looked at Li Tianqi and asked, "Brother Tianqi, which of the three countries, the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Kingdom of Jordan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has the most reserves of grain, and is the location of the granary closest to your Ram Principality?"

After hearing Ning Yuan’s question, Li Tianqi was stunned at first, then immediately shook his head and said, “Brother Ning Yuan, where our Ram Principality is located is surrounded by mountains and sea on three sides. Except for some valley plains and basins, there are deserts and mountains everywhere.

It is precisely because the nearby terrain is relatively dangerous that we can persist until now.

If it weren't for the Bay of Aqaba, there would be no strategic value here at all. Even the ancient city of Petra would be closer to the enemy's city.

It’s just that because it is now a deserted Grand Canyon, and Jordanian players do not want to conflict with the Kingdom of Jerusalem before finding a way to activate the ancient city of Petra, they acknowledged the occupation of the Principality of Ram.

In fact, our Principality of Ram does not have any garrison in the ancient city of Petra. I just send a team of cavalry to patrol there every day.

Let me put it this way, if you want to rob food from the enemy's territory, then I advise you to die as soon as possible, because there is no large-scale enemy garrison within a radius of 100 kilometers."

Li Tianqi first described the geographical environment around the Principality of Ram to Ningyuan, and then persuaded Ningyuan to dispel the idea of ​​robbery. After all, it was too risky to do so.

After listening to Li Tianqi's description, Ning Yuan frowned slightly, but he did not give up on the idea of ​​robbing food and supplies on the spot, because this method is the most reliable at present. There is no way, the distance of this expedition is too far.

Tanibori

After taking out the tablet and carefully studying the local terrain, a sudden light of inspiration flashed through Ning Yuan's mind.

So he immediately looked at Li Tianqi and asked: "Brother Tianqi, the Jordanian players are pursuing your Principality of Ram this time. Is their only target the location of Aqaba County?

After all, except here, other places are basically barren."

“Yes, that’s true, because the population of our Ram Principality is also concentrated in the plains and canyon basins of Aqaba County.

If Jordanian players want to destroy the Principality of Ram, they only need to break through Aqaba County, and it has no meaning to capture other places."

Although I don’t know why Ning Yuan asked this question, Li Tianqi immediately answered.

"If it were only for your own 60,000 troops, how long could you hold on?

I mean the entire army retreated to Aqaba County.”

Ning Yuan asked again.

"If there were only the army of the Kingdom of Jordan, then with some important transportation routes, we could hold on for at least two months.

If Saudi Arabia on the side also joins in, it is hard to say this time, because our sea defense is basically zero.

Once Saudi Arabia chooses to attack Aqaba from sea, I don't know if we can stop them from landing."

As he said that, Li Tianqi looked at Ning Yuan, wanting to see if Ning Yuan wanted to let Saudi Arabia attack the Principality of Ram from the sea.

Seeing Li Tianqi asking him, Ning Yuan immediately replied: "Brother Tianqi, don't worry, your enemies will only appear on land, because the sea power of Saudi players is basically zero. As long as you are prepared, their little boat will not pose any threat to you."

After getting a clear answer from Ningyuan, Li Tianqi continued to analyze:

"If Saudi Arabian troops cannot go through the sea, even if they declare war on us, they will not be able to play a big role in a short period of time, because the terrain around Aqaba cannot spread too many troops.

So even if we are attacked by these two countries at the same time, we can last for at least two months.

But if the Kingdom of Jerusalem also joined this war, the situation would be hard to say, because their army could directly fight along the lowlands west of the Jebgan River.

Although Renault was very arrogant, the combat effectiveness of the blue crusaders under his command was not enough.

After being blessed by the Holy City and Mount Sinai, the crazy believers holding swords and shields became even more difficult.

So if the Kingdom of Jerusalem suddenly hits it, I will not even be sure to hold on for a week.

Because the blue crusaders in the Kingdom of Jerusalem were so terrifying, and on the side facing them, we did not build too many fortifications."

Looking at Li Tianqi with a worried look, Ning Yuan gave him a reassuring look and comforted him: "Don't worry, the Kingdom of Jerusalem will not pay attention to you until the army of the Condor Empire officially lands in Aqaba, because their mortal enemy, the Kingdom of Ayub, has not signed a ceasefire agreement with them.

I guess even if you immediately declare the Principality of Ram to become a vassal state of the Condor Empire, and then the naval fleet of the Condor Empire appears in the waters of the Gulf of Aqaba, the guy who calls himself Baldwin VI will not care too much about you.

Because everyone knows that all the soldiers of the Tianfeng Knights are Chinese players, it is a normal reaction to ask for help from the Condor Heroes when you are facing the danger of being destroyed.

At the same time, they all know very well that distant hydrotherapy cannot quench near thirst.

Even if the Principality of Ram has become a vassal state of the Condor Empire, I have no time to send troops to support you, because this distance is too far away and is far beyond the attack range of the Condor Empire.

If I forcefully send troops to support you, I guess they will be very happy, because then they will have the opportunity to trap the elites of the Condor Empire in Aqaba.

So until the army of the Condor Empire officially landed, the Kingdom of Jerusalem would not pay attention to you.

The only question now is whether you can persevere until the arrival of reinforcements, because I need to mobilize these reinforcements from the land of the Condor Empire. The fleet carrying these reinforcements will be many days later than before, helping you control the navy in the Gulf of Aqaba.

Before the fleet carrying reinforcements arrives, you must withstand the enemy's attack on land."

After saying that, Ning Yuan looked directly at Li Tianqi.

"How long will reinforcements arrive at the latest?"

Seeing that Ning Yuan's expression was very serious, Li Tianqi immediately asked.

"I don't know either, because no one can tell what's happening on the ocean.

Your side is an unknown area for our fleet. I really can't give a clear answer to how long it will take to find the Bay of Aqaba where you are.

It could be one month, two months, or even longer."

Ning Yuan shook his head helplessly.

There is no way, this is the case with the maritime route. In unknown areas that have not been explored, no one can guarantee that they will not go any further or even be completely lost.

"Then I can only try my best to stick to it for a while. If your naval fleet has not yet arrived here within three months, then I can only admit that I am unlucky."

Seeing that Ning Yuan could not give accurate information at this time, Li Tianqi could only smile bitterly.

"Brother Tianqi, your mission is not only to stick to it for a longer time, but also to try to get the enemy to increase troops to you.

Only in this way can my army arrive and we can obtain more food and supplies from the enemy."

Although it is impossible to determine how long it will take to arrive, Ning Yuan still has not forgotten the strategy of snatching food and supplies on the spot.

"I'll try my best!"

Seeing that Ning Yuan was still thinking about the food and supplies from the enemy, Li Tianqi shook his head helplessly.
