Chapter 611 The expedition is imminent
Wang Kaiyuan did not explain many things clearly, but he didn't need to explain them specifically.
The march to the southwest and the attack on Austria are actually the true reflection of the contradictions within the empire.
However, many things are exactly the opposite of what Bai Zhizhan imagined.
According to Wang Kaiyuan's intention, it was not the chief auxiliary who advocated sending troops to the southwest to the east, but the military, especially the Situ Jingde of the Imperial Guard.
At the beginning, Bai Zhizhan didn't believe it.
However, when he thought that Lian Xusheng did not return to the empire, he went directly to the Boyi Kingdom. Despite the difficulties in reality, he proposed to use the Boyi Kingdom as a springboard, cross the Caucasus Mountains, and attacked the Luosha Federation through the Shackle Road Bridge. Bai Zhizhan had to admit that Wang Kaiyuan's hint was not groundless, and Lian Xusheng had long understood the powerful relationship, so he did not return to the empire and avoided internal struggles of the army.
As long as you stay on the front line, the matter behind has nothing to do with him.
When he returns to China, he will only be angry at both ends.
Don’t forget that Situ Jingde is the spokesperson of the priest, and Lian Xusheng’s friendship with the priest is also extraordinary, so it is definitely impossible to do anything contrary to the priest’s will.
But the problem is that from his personal standpoint, Lian Xusheng is more inclined to the prime minister, that is, he is more eager to achieve a comprehensive victory in this war.
Fundamentally, Lian Xusheng is an idealist.
Is Wang Kaiyuan also an idealist?
In fact, this is also the place where Bai Zhizhan started and he had never figured it out, or he could not believe in Wang Kaiyuan.
However, after careful consideration, Bai Zhizhan understood.
Judging from the current situation, if Newland Federation still has any hope, it is to defend Austria to force Liang Xia
From the standpoint of the empire, if Australia can be won, it may be possible to force the Newland Federation to surrender.
There is no doubt that the difficulty of attacking Austria will definitely be under the marching of Newland.
It is precisely because the power led by the Emperor firmly believed that it should send troops to the southwest and eastward before entering the Hovayi Islands at least after that.
If we really move in this direction, even if everything goes well, the best result can be achieved, that is, after occupying Austria, we will hold armistice negotiations with the Newland Federation, and sign a ceasefire agreement that did not resolve substantive problems, just like more than 20 years ago.
In fact, this is also the key.
The Lord had long thought of this and was ready to negotiate with Newland.
From the standpoint of the imperial emperor, this move is understandable.
Having achieved victory, becoming the world's number one overlord, controlling most of the world, and achieving at least 20 years of peace, what else can you not be satisfied with?
Permanent peace?
In the eyes of politicians, it is just a mirror and a moon.
That's right, Xue Yuanzheng is a politician, but he is not an ordinary politician.
In Bai Zhizhan's understanding, Xue Yuanzheng was actually a politician with a little idealistic color, or had ideal feelings that were rare in politicians.
In fact, this has a lot to do with Xue Yuanzheng's experience of getting up early.
In any case, what Xue Yuanzheng pursued, even if it was not a comprehensive victory, was a more important result that could last longer.
In fact, this is also the personal charm of Xue Yuanzheng.
This requires that all opponents, including the Newland Federation, must be completely defeated militarily.
If possible, we must also consider completing the division of the post-war world pattern as the commander of the Allied Group before the end of the war.
In fact, Xue Yuanzheng has been making efforts in this regard.
Before Bai Zhizhan returned to the empire, the special envoy sent by Xue Yuanzheng arrived at the capital of the Tyman Empire and formally proposed to Prime Minister Tyman that an international organization containing non-group members would be formed on the basis of the Allied Group to ensure that the international community could maintain stability after the war.
However, this is just the beginning.
First, it was proposed to the Tauman Empire that in addition to respecting this number one ally, it was also to eliminate the biggest obstacle.
Without the participation of the Tyrannosaurus Empire, it was led by the Liangxia Empire. The value of this international organization and its influence in the post-war international community will be greatly reduced.
In addition, there is even a possibility of a military confrontation with the Taurus Empire after the war.
In short, in order to strive for a more comprehensive victory, Xue Yuanzheng had to continue to adhere to the original strategic policy in military operations.
Go directly into Newland's homeland.
Among all the strategic plans formulated before the war, it was particularly emphasized that all the forces must be concentrated into Newland's territory after mastering strategic advantages.
You must never waste your troops outside this!
If you want to say, sending troops to Fanyan Ocean, capturing the Posha Bay, and breaking into the sea of land are actually preparing for the besiege of the Newland Federation.
It has been mentioned before that the Tiaoman Empire will undertake the heavy responsibility of entering the Gu Continent from Xiluoyang.
Any division of troops will lead to the missed result of a comprehensive victory.
Not only Xue Yuanzheng, but also Wang Kaiyuan, who has idealistic feelings.
This may be the only feature that Bai Zhizhan appreciates more.
Over the years, Bai Zhizhan has not become prejudiced by Wang Kaiyuan's special identity, but because he has a trace of ideal light.
That's right, Wang Kaiyuan is not much the same as other intelligence personnel.
There is no doubt that Bai Zhizhan is also an idealist.
Almost all young generals like Bai Zhizhan who participated in the last war and dominated the military construction of the empire after the war had idealistic feelings.
In the navy, it is particularly prominent.
Not only Bai Zhizhan, but also Liu Xiangdong, Liu Xiangzhen, and Gui Boyong. Even in Liu Changxun and He Yongxing, the light of idealism can be seen.
In fact, this has a lot to do with the experience of the last war.
In the words of Lian Xusheng, any soldier who participated in and experienced that cruel war and survived the battle would have the idea of ending the war forever.
Even if this idea is so unrealistic.
This also illustrates the problem from one aspect.
Those who survived the last war and became senior generals all have outstanding personal talents.
Because of their strong personal abilities, they can persist in striving towards their ideals for decades.
However, in the face of reality, the light of idealism will eventually disappear and then become more realistic.
In fact, it was not until this time that Bai Zhizhan understood why the commander of the empire had to sit down and negotiate with the enemy more than 20 years ago.
Ideals are the main driving force for courage, but they are not strong enough to overcome all difficulties and obstacles.
In the end, even a great commander like Emperor Shiwu had to bow to reality, otherwise he would not have turned his head in Yebao back then.
Will Xue Yuanzheng bow to reality?
Or when will you bow to reality?
In any case, in Wang Kaiyuan, Bai Zhizhan obtained the most critical information and also had a comprehensive understanding of the current situation.
Three days later, after having the last supper with Zhao Yu, Bai Zhizhan took a transport plane and left Puzhou and went directly to Naqiu Port.
According to the telegram he issued, Li Mingbo had led the 21st special fleet after the name change to Naqiu Port.
