Chapter 136 Strategy
Kingdom of Adud, the city of Dilo.
Royal Palace, at the Imperial Military Conference.
"All the outer kingdoms have fallen, the first line of defense has collapsed, and our second line of defense has been exposed in front of the Light Legion. In a short time, the second line of defense will also be attacked by the Light Legion."
"His Excellency Wang Fu, should we launch a large number of troops and fully support the 12 neighboring countries on the second line of defense? These neighboring countries are asking us for help and beg us to provide support!"
"Didn't we send 200,000 elite soldiers last month? We ask for help again so quickly?" A general said in confusion.
"Not enough, the Holy See's army has 10 million. We have to send at least one million elite troops to barely enough."
"But the kingdom can only use two million regular legions. If half of them are drawn, wouldn't the garrison in the kingdom be enough?"
"Don't there still 6 million second-tier military forces?"
"Most of these forces are workers and farmers. They are not trained enough and lack discipline, and are difficult to take on major responsibilities." Earl Theon, who is in charge of training, shook his head and said.
"It would be better to send these second-line troops to stay in the country."
"This is even more impossible! This second line of defense can't last long, and the troops sent are just cannon fodder to die." Another minister shook his head and said.
"This is not good, that is not good, so what should I do?" an old count frowned and shook his head.
"Her Majesty the Queen! Your Excellency Wang Fu!"
General Krimans, who is in charge of the kingdom's military, bowed to the upper half and said, "Since we have already decided the following strategy before, we must ensure that the war does not occur in the kingdom of Adude, and that the war will not spread to the kingdom, and try to fight an external war with less losses, so..."
He bowed and said, "We must send another group of reinforcements."
Zhou Ming nodded and said, "General Krimans is right. Let's do this. Send another 300,000 elite army and 500,000 second-line army, a total of one million troops to support the 12 neighboring countries on the second line of defense!"
"Even, if possible, we'd better be on the second line of defense, blocking the Light Legion and keeping the enemy out of the country!"
Wars can be divided into internal and external lines, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of fighting an inside war is that the supply line is short, the supply line is easy to obtain, the mobilization of more sufficient resources, and the advantage of familiarity.
The disadvantage is that war has huge damage to its own infrastructure and war potential, which may cause damage to its property and personnel, which is equivalent to jackals and tigers entering their homes.
The advantages and disadvantages of fighting an outside war are the opposite of an inside war. The disadvantages of external war are that they are not easy to supply, they are not very familiar with the geographical advantage, and they have few resources to mobilize; the advantage is that they have less damage to their own personnel and property, and will not seriously damage their own war potential!
There is no doubt that considering the huge destructive power of war, the senior decision-makers of any country certainly hope to fight an external war, keep the war away from the local area, let the people of their own lives and work in peace, and reduce the harm of war to their own country!
Of course, Zhou Ming also wanted to keep the enemy from outside the country, but...
The Kingdom of Yadud has only about two million regular legions, so there is no problem in defending its own borders. However, if you support 12 neighboring countries, even if each neighboring country supports 50,000 elite troops on average, multiplied by 12, you will have to send 600,000 elite troops and take out 30% of your family’s assets.
Not to mention this, each neighboring country has only 50,000 troops. Facing a ten- or twenty-fold Legion of Light, it is undoubtedly a matter of luck and probability to block such an offensive, and the chances of victory are not very high.
It can also easily lead to confusion in command and various troublesome problems.
The most important thing is that on the defense line with a defensive formation of more than 20,000 miles, an elite army of 600,000 people was spread out, and it was impossible to form an airtight defense net. The army of Light, which had an absolute advantage in the number, had countless offensive lines to penetrate this defense net... No matter how strong the firearm team in the Kingdom of Yadude could achieve complete defense.
If you want to fight outside wars and resist the enemy from the national gate, you will not only take out all the cards and use a huge army close to the number of Light Legion, and fight with Light Legion head-on on the second line of defense!
only……
The defenses of the land of the Adude Kingdom are empty. Once there is a mistake or cannot resist it in a certain direction, a certain unit of the Light Legion will drive straight into the territory of the Adude Kingdom...
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
So what should Zhou Ming do?
What strategy should the Kingdom of Adude adopt to deal with this war?
After some discussion.
Zhou Ming and his team developed a combat plan that takes into account external operations and is safe and secure.
That is, the Great Wall on the Border + Fortress Plan for neighboring countries.
On the border of the Kingdom of Yadu, a tall Great Wall with a total length of more than 10,000 miles is built, and 70% of its troops and 50% of its resources are allocated to build a Great Wall that is "impossible" to be broken.
Among the 12 neighboring countries around the Kingdom of Adud, 186 giant defensive fortresses were built on 186 important passes and military strategists, and 30% of their troops were allocated to the point of fighting for the war, making them a "nail". If the Light Legion wants to continue to march, it will not pull out these nails. Even if it can take a detour, it will be like a thorn on its back, feeling uncomfortable all over, subject to various restrictions and constraints, and fall into embarrassment and passiveness.
The 12 neighboring countries that constitute the second line of defense also each have some armies, of which 580,000 are the few, and the more are 100,000 and 200,000... There are about one million regular troops in total.
After recruiting a large number of strong farmers and mobilizing them all, the 12 neighboring kingdoms can gather 3 million people's defensive power... Of course, the combat power and fighting will of these three million people must be average, but after 100% of the equipment was equipped with firearms, it should not be a big problem to resist the 3 million army of Light at a ratio of 1 to 1.
In addition to the 186 fortresses in these kingdoms, as well as the nearly 2 million troops of the Kingdom of Adud...
The most conservative estimate is that there is no problem blocking the five million Legion of Light!
In addition, in the offensive and defensive war on the second line of defense, Zhou Ming completely relaxed the authority to use strategic weapons.
In other words, in the following war, the secret weapons secretly developed by the military industrial system of the Yadu Kingdom, after nearly a year of mass production, can finally board the battlefield and show off their fierce fangs.
I want to give the Light Legion a huge surprise!
When they heard this, the nobles and ministers who participated in the imperial meeting were all shocked!
The few nobles who knew the strategic weapons were even more ecstatic and cheered!
"Our strategic weapons are finally ready!"
"Is it great if there are too many people? If there are too many people, you want to do whatever you want? With these strategic weapons, I am not afraid of your Light Legion having too many people!"
"Not bad! I'll kill you as much as you come!"
"In the face of these new weapons, what if the faith of the fanatic believers of the Holy See is pious? With a bang, a paladin will be smashed to pieces!"
"I heard that our strategic weapons production is enough to equip one million people, that's great! With these weapons, the God of Light comes to me, and I'm no longer afraid! Humph, God, I'm the one I kill with one shot!"
"It's stable. After making all arrangements and preparations, we just need to wait for the news of victory. If the situation is more optimistic, perhaps on the second line of defense, we can wipe out the Light Legion! At that time..."
Chapter completed!
