Chapter 1393
The imperial meals on the dragon boat were not that delicious. Liang Chongxin knew that the current emperor's thoughts. The disadvantage of the war in the southwest had affected His Majesty's reputation and the trust of the Chinese ministers in the empire's established strategies. Many people began to question whether the empire had to make great moves to start such a large-scale war at the beginning of its establishment, especially when the war in India and Germany was in war in Germany, the southwest war was launched. This obviously seemed to be a bit like the intention of using one country to fight against the entire Central Continent. Is it wise for the empire to do this?
If the Empire won the war in the southwest, it might be much easier to persuade His Majesty to temporarily stop, but it would be a bit difficult to make His Majesty give up this intention for the time being. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of His Majesty. However, Liang Chongxin also knew that now is not the best time to start the war in the southwest. If he could climb to four to five months, wait for the rainy season, wait for the enemy's spirit to pass, and wait for his side to prepare more, Liang Chongxin is sure to win with one blow, whether it is the rose of the night or the crabapple of the day, it will make her wither at the feet of her hero without any suspense.
Wufeng was in a bad mood. Unexpectedly, Liang Chongxin did not agree with launching the Southwest War. It seems that he had to reflect on himself. Are he too eager to make achievements and instant benefits? Liang Chongxin said something is true. The Fourth and Eighth Legion have suffered a lot at present, especially after losing their spirits, if he wants to launch a new counterattack, the effect may not be too good. Even if the First Legion takes action, it is also difficult to fight against the Allied Army, which is full of morale and good fortune, just like
Liang Chongxin said that if it is understandable that the Empire's defeat in the first battle is a bit hasty, the Empire launched two wars, and the reasons are not that sufficient. If the second prepared war is defeated again, it will probably really shake the imperial morale. In other words, this second battle can only be won, and it must be an absolutely beautiful victory that is lacking. There cannot be any drag. Only in this way can the empire's dominance be restored, so this battle must be fully prepared and hit by one hit.
The atmosphere in the cabin was a little depressed, and even the mood of eating seemed to be affected. Wufeng stuttered his mouth without salt and smell. The soft-bottle fish and Red Jade Lieutenant, which tasted extremely refreshing in the past, also seemed a little disgraceful. However, Liang Chongxin, who was given food on the opposite side, ate it deliciously, and was not affected at all because Wufeng was unhappy.
"Zhongxin, do you have to wait for this battle after the rainy season? When is the First Legion still timid? Why? You brought the First Legion out of your hand, so you can't bear to use it to touch the arrogant and arrogant Allied forces?" I couldn't help but throw the chopsticks in my hand and restarted the topic with a angrily angrily.
"Haha, Your Majesty, this food in the hometown tastes so friendly. Your Majesty is afraid that he has attracted several famous chefs in Yuhang City to perform his work? Well, this soft-cup fish is so fragrant. This chef is probably using all his." Liang Chongxin didn't speak up, just praising the delicious taste of the imperial meal. Wufeng felt a little frustrated again. Su Jie, Gu Mingxia and others who were attending the meal next to him were laughing.
"Liang Chongxin, I'm asking you, can't you hear it?" Wu Feng shouted in anger.
"Huh? Didn't Your Majesty just now that he would not mention the meal time and not talk about official affairs? How many concubines listened to this? It's not that Chongxin deliberately refused to answer." Liang Chongxin responded without raising his head.
"You!" Wufeng was angry and didn't make a fuss. This kid was still pretending to be crazy and stupid for himself. The meal was useless. "Okay, I cancel what I said just now. Now you should answer my question."
"June has no jokes, how can you cancel it just by saying that you can cancel it?" Liang Chongxin still chewed.
He laughed so much that Wufeng couldn't think of a way to treat the other party. It seemed that this guy was sure to be careful not to agree with his opinion on sending troops. After snorting heavily, Wufeng said again: "Chengxin, don't cheat on me, that's fine. If you must think it's not appropriate to send troops now, then I want to ask you, can you guarantee that you can take Nan'an, Western Samoa and Sikkim for me after the rainy season? Soktu is not included."
"Your Majesty, you can't take it after the rainy season, but the best time to start a war after the rainy season. I can't guarantee Sikkim, but Nan'an, Western Samoa and Soktu are naturally no problem. Of course, I also have requirements. In addition to the First Legion, the Empire needs to at least add a legion, whether it is the Eleventh Legion or the Tiger Guard Legion, whatever Your Majesty can do. As for the Fourth, Eighth Legion and Sixth Legion in the Southwest War Zone, they are all under my command. Well, the rainy season will pass in October. I can guarantee that Nan'an, Western Samoa and Soktu will be included in the empire before the end of March next year." Liang Chongxin calmly drank a spoonful of West Lake water shield soup and said leisurely.
"If you have to make so many conditions to win Nan'an and Western Samoa, you will not be afraid of losing your reputation?" Wufeng asked with a smile. If Sikkim had no strength in his power, it would be difficult to conquer Sikkim before the Imperial Navy did not have enough strength. However, if he could go south to Nan'an and Western Samoa, he would cut off Sikkim's feet in disguise, and it would be impossible for it to cause any storm.
"Haha, Your Majesty, are you pretending to be confused? If you want to take these two places without fighting with the Peninsula Alliance, can you get it by verbal plea? Your Majesty, in fact, we all know this battle. No one can afford to lose. We lose. Although morale has plummeted, it will be difficult for the empire to open up the situation here again. If the Peninsula Alliance is defeated, it will not be a problem of gains and losses between Nan'an and Western Samoa. I guess they will not be able to sit steadily in the territory east of the Peninsula Alliance. They will always take out something to show sincerity. For example, the Principality of Seser, will His Majesty be uninterested? Without the support of the Peninsula Alliance, the Sikkim can reach a few days. Therefore, Nan'an and Western Samoa are just our bottom line. When we really stop there, our Majesty has to decide."
Liang Chongxin's words at this time were the true words of Wufeng's heart. The reason why he was unwilling to let go was not that he did not understand the disadvantages of the war now. The purpose was to force Liang Chongxin out of his true intention. Since the war in the southwest is to fight, then just fight to the death. Isn't the Peninsula Alliance determined to join in? Then let it get in and play enough to see if they have the power to play the empire. However, it is not so easy for the loser to escape easily. It is absolutely impossible not to pay enough price.
Seeing Wufeng nodding thoughtfully, Liang Chongxin also took the silk towel from the eunuch and wiped his mouth and said, "But Your Majesty, Wenxiu is progressing smoothly on the battlefield of Indian and Germans. However, the continuous large-scale wars of the empire will inevitably have a great impact on the finances. The consumption of various materials is quite huge. His Majesty still urges the logistics department to prepare in advance in terms of military supplies and supplies. If the war is delayed due to this reason, it is not Chongxin's responsibility."
No one knew how Liang Chongxin convinced the stubborn Emperor during a meal. In short, His Majesty the Emperor did not instruct the Privy Council to immediately formulate a combat plan for the southwest war. However, the Tiger Guard Corps, which had issued an order to reinforce the Peninsula, did not stop and continued to move south through Myanmar County. The Eighth Legion and the Fourth Legion gathered again in the border area. Only for a moment, they were unable to launch a counterattack. Each legion had received orders to formally form the Southwest War Zone, and Liang Chongxin, who had just been lifted from the First Legion, served as the commander of the War Zone, and was responsible for the defense of the entire Southwest War Zone. The defense zones included the entire South China Sea, Central South, Myanmar County, as well as the five counties of Sanjiang and Tiannan. The First, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth Legion and the Tiger Guard Corps just allocated to, totaling five legions of nearly 600,000 troops.
Both government officials and military generals were particularly interested in this late-coming newspaper, and they all wanted to find some unusual atmosphere from the lines. The word "defense in the defense of the Southwest War Zone" became the focus of everyone's thinking. Defense naturally refers to defense affairs. In this newspaper, the Peninsula Alliance took back the Principality of Soktu, which had been obtained, and did not reveal any content whether the war in the Southwest War would continue, which also aroused many speculations.
Some people believe that the forces against war in the court forced His Majesty to suspend military operations and shift the focus to domestic construction. After all, the northern part of the empire once again suffered a huge spring drought, and the shadow of famine and refugees once again enveloped the empire. If effective measures are not taken, it will inevitably cause unstability in the entire empire. Some people believe that Liang Chongxin's firm opposition made His Majesty unable to find a suitable military commander to go to the Peninsula Alliance, and could only make concessions to agree with Liang Chongxin's rehabilitation opinions, suspend military operations, and make a decision after the time is ripe. Some people think that this is just a trick of the joint efforts of His Majesty and Liang Chongxin. It should be clear to see if the Tiger Guards join the Southwest War Zone. Within three months, Liang Chongxin will launch a new offensive against the Peninsula Alliance. There are many different opinions, and there is no consensus, and Liang Chongxin himself does not agree.
