Section 22 South (2)

Immediately afterwards, Wufeng asked Linghu Yi and Wen Jie to introduce the current situation of the Peninsula Alliance and the battle situation of the Pasha Kingdom in the Central Continent and the countries in the western Peninsula Alliance.

The full name of the Peninsula Alliance is the Indochina Peninsula National League, referred to as the Peninsula Alliance. Since the land at the junction of the Middle East suddenly bulges deeply into the ocean in the south, forming a huge peninsula, it is called the Indochina Peninsula. There are twenty countries, city-states, autonomous regions, and urban republics in the entire peninsula. Among them, seven cities and urban republics form the Peninsula Alliance. There are seven in the East Continent, two at the junction of the East Continent and the Central Continent, and eight in the Central Continent.

Due to the Great Hengduan Mountains, the alliance was divided into two parts: east and west. The seven eastern countries and the city-states faced the South Ocean in the south and the Great Hengduan Mountains in the west, and the South Ocean Alliance in the east. The territory of these countries and city-states is of different sizes and their national strength is uneven. The main target of the attack by the Western Frontier Army is at a medium level among these seven countries and city-states, but this battle is also quite critical. Once the Sulawesi Principality is captured, the Western Frontier will gain a solid foothold in the Peninsula Alliance. The army can also continuously enter the Sulawesi Principality through the dense forest area, and the Sulawesi Principality will also become a bridgehead and base for the Western Frontier Army to move southward.

The Principal of Sulawesi is not big, with only two cities in the territory. Except for the capital Yada City, it is the important city of Kutterdam located in the southeast corner. From Kutterdam to the southeast is the city-state of Legun, and from the southwest is the Principal of Medan. From the Principal of Medan to the east, the Principal of Bali is the Principal of Bali, and to the south of the Principal of Medan are three city-states lined up, from the east to the west are the Sanbao City-state, the Moro City Republic, and the Eastern Samoa City-Republic.

The population of the entire peninsula alliance is less than five million, and the main ethnic groups are the Lai, Gong, Wa, Shan and Tang ethnic groups, accounting for about five percent of the entire population. The three principalities have relatively small populations, with only about two million people, while the population of the four city-states and urban republics exceeds that of the three principalities with a territorial area of ​​several times that of them. The three principalities are all agricultural countries mainly engaged in planting, and their national strength is relatively weak, while several city-states and urban republics are famous for their industry and commerce, especially the three principalities.

Baocheng-state, Moro City Republic and Eastern Samoa City Republic are all famous ports. Not only are the fishing industry, pearl mining and salt production industries are quite developed, but their maritime transportation industry is even more prosperous. The city-state of Laigong is not only a famous hometown of handicrafts, but also has a particularly good climate. It is a tourist destination within the Peninsula League. The nobles and wealthy people from several cities and states in the eastern Peninsula League all own vacation villas in Laigong. When it is hot in midsula, they go to the Kunlun Lake on the outskirts of Laigong for vacation and summer, which also stimulates the development of local industry and commerce.

The military strength of the seven countries and city-states is also different. The three principalities are mainly based on their own armed forces. The Sulawesi Principal has about 10,000 defense troops and 5,000 royal city garrisons, and there are about 5,000 mercenaries. The Principality of Medan is slightly stronger, with 25,000 national defense troops and mercenary troops. The Principality of Baliya has only 5,000 border defense troops and 2,000 city defense troops, and mercenary troops are only 3,000. In comparison, the military strength of the four city-states and city republics is much stronger. To the most powerful Moro City Republic, except for the self-defense troops.

In addition to ten thousand people, there are 20,000 elite mercenaries, and the worst city-state of Laigong also has 15,000 Self-Defense Forces and 10,000 mercenaries. The military force in the eastern part of the alliance is about 200,000. However, due to the fierce offensive launched by the Pasha Kingdom in the western part of the alliance, the defense line in the western part of the alliance is shaking. In order to safeguard the security interests of the alliance, the countries in the eastern part of the alliance have already reinforced most of the mercenaries to the western battlefield and cannot return in a short time. Their armed forces are mainly light armor infantry and their training level is limited. According to the intelligence, their combat effectiveness is questionable.

In the early stage, the Pasha people attacked fiercely in the western part of the Alliance, conquering two principalities and a city-state in succession, and occupied a large area of ​​land. However, after the arrival of 50,000 mercenaries in the eastern part of the Alliance and the 150,000 troops of the Kingdom of Sioran were put into the battlefield, the situation of the battle took some new changes. Although under the command of Kutuzov, the Pasha army defeated the Alliance coalition forces continuously, Linton, the commander of the Kingdom of Sioran, was also an old and tough soldier. He adopted the method of clearing the fields in the defense zone, and at the same time commanded the coalition forces to attack in the division and joint attacks, using the coalition forces to attract the Pasha army.

The main force of the team, he personally led the Sioran army to penetrate deep into the rear of the Pasha people occupied the area, forcing the Pasha army to return to defense, and successfully led the coalition forces to engage in a major battle with the Pasha army in the Duchy of Tocton. Although the battle ended with a small defeat in the coalition, both sides suffered heavy losses. The coalition army was only less than 250,000, and the Pasha army also paid the price of 80,000 people. In addition, the Luzons and the Cominians were ready to move in the north and west of the Pasha Kingdom, which caused huge differences in the southern strategy within the Pasha Kingdom.

Hege, Minister of State of the Pasha Kingdom, expressed objection to Kutuzov's strategy of fully conquering the western region of the Peninsula League, especially the Luzons had taken the opportunity to regain the southern Luzon region south of the Maputra River to north of the Salwin River. He believed that Kutuzov, as the commander of the army, should have the main responsibility for the gains and losses of this land, and was also negative about Kutuzov's strategic plan to instigate the king's southern expedition when he did not consolidate the occupied area of ​​Southern Luzon. However, because Kutuzov's southern expedition plan was supported by King Paul, it ended in vain.

However, after the Pasha army encountered interference from the Kingdom of Siolan and the Peninsula League with full force, Heg once again expressed his concern to the king, and seemed to prove this. Although Pasha won the battle in Tocton, he also lost quite elite troops. At this time, the Luzons and the Comineans also began to restlessly. The number of ministers in the Kingdom of Pasha was gradually increasing. The calls for a temporary truce with the Peninsula League countries were increasing. However, as of the time when this information was sent back, the Pasha people and the coalition forces were still in a state of confrontation in Tocton, and Paul I, King of Pasha, seemed to have not made a final judgment on war and harmony.

After understanding the distribution of military forces in the eastern part of the Peninsula Alliance and the situation in the western part of the Peninsula Alliance, Wufeng and Ling Tianfang agreed to conclude that the battle to move south must be fully launched within half a month, and strive to end within a month at most. Otherwise, once the Pasha people signed an armistice agreement with the Peninsula Alliance under pressure, the resistance to move south will be more than doubled, and the possibility of the Nanyang Alliance and the Maqikhans participating in the war will increase a lot.

Jiangchuan Mansion. After silently reading the letter submitted by the other party, the girl in Jiangchuan Mansion did not speak for a long time. It would be better to raise her head and say lightly: "Mr. Wang, can you give Yue Xin a clear explanation? What is the reason for the defense to be changed, and it is the first legion of the Western Xinjiang to be replaced by the Fourth legion?"

"Uh, Miss Yuexin, hasn't Your Highness explained in the letter? The First Legion needs to adapt to the climate in the southern region to facilitate combat in the southern region in the future, and the Fourth Legion will also take some time to repair it. In addition, the Maqi Khans are now frequently allocating troops in the eastern part of Sanjiang. In order to strengthen the defense against Sanjiang, your Highness made this decision." Wang Liao licked his lips awkwardly and explained with a smile. This was not a good job, and everyone in the senior management of Western Xinjiang knew this

The affinity relationship between the third lady of the Lin family and His Highness the King of Qin, and at this time the two sides are in this relationship between half-allies and half-enemy. To be a diplomatic envoy, you must face this smart and capable third lady. When the other party asks some sensitive questions, it is necessary to test the level of being a diplomatic envoy. If the words are not in line with the other party's mood and offend the other party, it is possible that one day she will become the Princess of Qin and become the mistress all at once, and then it will be uncomfortable to meet at that time.

"Mr. Wang, I don't think you have to hide it for Li Wufeng. The reasons he said in the letter are nonsense! The Maqi Khan did not have any frequent mobilizations in the east. The First Legion needs to adapt to the southern climate and can adapt to it in the south and Myanmar. As for the Fourth Legion over-exhausted, Humph, the Maqi Khan has stopped offensive for almost a month, and I can't see how the soldiers of your Fourth Legion look overworked! Your reasons are not valid at all, so I doubt what your intention is?!" Lin Yue's expression was serious and his voice was harsh.
