Zhou Wen frowned and asked: "If we capture Tiantai Mountain regardless of the cost, how long does it take, Commander-in-Chief?"

Delong Boyard: "There are too few passable roads in the Tiantai Mountains, and we have too few troops to devote to front-line operations. We still have more than 500,000 people, sunbathing outside the Tiantai Mountains, what?

We can't even do it. Therefore, optimistic estimates suggest that it will take us at least three years to completely occupy the Tiantai Mountain area."

Zhou Wen: "What if it is a pessimistic estimate?"

Delong Boyard said with a wry smile: "Pessimistically, who can tell clearly? It may be five years, eight years, or even ten years, or we may not be able to occupy Tiantai Mountain at all."

"As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, how can you be so pessimistic?" Zhou Wen said angrily. He was very surprised. Is this the same Delong Boyard who was brave enough to move forward? Why did he suddenly become so pessimistic?

Delon Boyard: "I've never been pessimistic, I'm just stating a fact. This Tiantai Mountain area has long been transformed into a huge war fortress by the Hai people. If we continue to attack, we don't know how many are ahead.

A large formation similar to the one we had the day before yesterday is waiting for us, and similar failures will continue to occur. After all, this is the home ground of the Hai people, and they have sufficient time to arrange various formations in advance."

Zhou Wen frowned and said: "This won't work. You have to know that the military expenditures for this military expedition to the country of Hai were paid by the four major families themselves. The military expenditures raised for the first time are only enough to last for two years at most. If we don't have any substantial results within two years,

If the war continues to progress, they will definitely not continue to invest. In this case, this war will only end in failure."

Delon Boyard: "I am also very aware of this. Therefore, we must make strategic adjustments now and take advantage of the idle more than 500,000 people south of Tiantai Mountain."

Zhou Wen: "How to use it to participate in the attacks of Yuqiao Prefecture and Yuhong Prefecture?"

Delon Boyard shook his head and said: "Those two states are too barren. It is enough to have 600,000 troops directly under the imperial court. Moreover, even if we occupy those two states, there will still be a large area of ​​virgin forest.

Blocking the road to the Imperial City of Hai Kingdom, you must know that the danger of the virgin forest is greater than that of Tiantai Mountain. Sending troops to those two states will have no benefit at all except arousing the jealousy of Her Majesty the Queen for no reason."

Zhou Wen asked doubtfully: "If you don't go to Yuhong and Yuqiao states, where else can you marry?"

Delong Boyard: "My plan is to leave about 500,000 troops to contain the enemy in the Tiantai Mountain area, and the remaining people will directly attack the Haiguo Imperial City area."

Zhou Wen: "To attack the Imperial City area of ​​Hai Kingdom, we can only land at Sanxing and Zitong ports. This requires the full cooperation of the Navy. Can Cameron of the Navy obey your orders?"

Delon Bogaard snorted coldly: "The only thing that can pose a substantial threat to the navy in the two ports of Samsung and Zitong is those super coastal defense guns. Cameron Hilley is a slippery man. He is worried about the loss of his warships.

He resolutely resisted the attack on these two ports. However, the current situation is beyond his control. If he still refuses to send the navy to fight, the worst we can do is passively strike. Anyway, when the war fails, the loss will not only be our Bogaard family.

One family.”

Zhou Wen: "Having said that, try not to do things like this that harm others and are not beneficial to yourself."

Delon Boyard said coldly: "It's the Hilley family who seeks to benefit themselves at the expense of others. If we continue to fight like this, our army will really become a pawn of the navy. We don't contribute during the war, but after the war, we will come to share a piece of the pie."

, there is no such good thing in the world. This time, not only do I want their naval warships to participate in the battle, but their 200,000 marines must also come ashore and join us in attacking the Imperial City of Hai Kingdom."

Zhou Wen worried: "Although you are the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in this war, you may not be able to command Cameron Hilley and the huge fleet behind him. Without the cooperation of the navy, how can you land."

Delon Boyard smiled and said: "I still have this bit of self-awareness, so I have no intention of directly commanding naval operations. My intention is to hide it. After you come down, military advisor, use the situation here to describe the situation here.

The letter gave a detailed report to the patriarch, asking him to join forces with the Brown family, the Taylor family, and Her Majesty the Queen to put pressure on the Healy family and force their navy to go to war."

Zhou Wen nodded and said: "Please pay attention to this. I will write a letter to the patriarch right away. Marshal, do you have anything else to explain?"

Delon Boyard thought for a while and said: "Well, let's be polite first and then attack. I will first give an order to Cameron Hilley in the name of the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, asking him to cooperate with us in the landing operation from Samsung Port. Then

The boy will definitely use various excuses to delay or even refuse to execute the order. We can blame all the blame for the slow progress of the war on the Navy. At that time, please ask the patriarch to work with the Brown, Taylor family, and Her Majesty the Queen to help the Healy family.

Pressure. In this way, we can be considered as benevolent and righteous."

Zhou Wen nodded and said: "I am very pleased that the commander-in-chief can think of this. After all, our purpose is just to land in the Haiguo Imperial City area and directly break up with the Xilai family. It will not do us any good."

Delon Boyard smiled and said: "Okay, from now on, we can appropriately reduce our troops and do a good job in frontline defense. Then, we can wait patiently for news from the family and the court."

In the following period, the Tiantai Mountain front line once again entered a period of relative calm. In addition to consolidating the current occupied areas, the Shen State army rarely launched active attacks. The Hai State's guerrilla tactics also lost their effectiveness due to the shrinkage of Shen State's troops.

After several losses of troops and generals, the State of Hai also gave up the initiative to attack.

Both sides fighting in the Tiantai Mountain area temporarily stopped fighting and were gathering strength. At the same time, there was a huge quarrel in the Shen Kingdom.

Delon Boyard issued an order to the navy in the name of the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, asking them to cooperate with the order to land in the imperial city of Hai Kingdom. As expected, Cameron Hilley refused with various excuses.

After that, Zhou Wen compiled in detail the strategic vision of himself and Delon Boyade on the front line and sent it to the patriarch of the Boyade family. The letter finally concluded that this war has been fought so far, and all the strength of the army has been consumed.

, that is, the strength of the Boyard family, the Brown family and the Taylor family. If this continues, even if the final victory is achieved, it will only serve as a wedding dress for the Heeley family and the court. Once defeated, the three major families may be defeated by the court and the Heeley family.

annex.

The letter finally suggested that the patriarch, together with the Brown family and the Taylor family, put pressure on the Hilley family in court and let them dispatch the navy to attack Sanxing Port and Zitong Port along the coast of the Imperial City of Hai. If possible, it is best to persuade

Her Majesty the Queen, dispatch the air force to cooperate with the landing operations.

After receiving the letter, field marshal of the Shen Kingdom and the patriarch of the Boyard family, Brady Boyard, consulted with the Prime Minister on the left, Leah Brown, and the Prime Minister on the right, Angel Taylor, overnight.

Brady Boyard: "Two prime ministers, I don't need to say more about the battle situation on the front line of Tiantai Mountain in Haiguo. Now the main army forces of our three families are dragged there. With the strength of the Haiguo people's defense there, we want to

To conquer the Tiantai Mountain area, you will definitely have to pay a heavy price, and this is not a task that can be completed in a short time."

Zuo Cheng, Bilia Brown, was in charge of Shen's finances. As soon as he heard that the war could not end in a short time, he immediately quit: "This war cannot be dragged on for too long anyway. The court has no money at all. This

The military expenditures for this first troop dispatch were jointly funded by our four major families. According to the current progress, the military expenditures raised for the first time can last for a little more than a year at most. If we cannot end the war within this time, we can only end in failure. I

The Brown family does not have any extra money to spend on military expenses."

Right Prime Minister Angel Taylor: "Who says otherwise? If there are additional military expenses for sending troops, my Taylor family will not be able to afford it."

Brady Boyard: "My Boyard family is not rich either, so we must try to end this war within a year and a half. The only way now is to let the navy send troops to storm the Imperial City of Hai to the coast.

There are two ports, Sanxing and Zitong. However, that boy Cameron Heeley obviously got the instructions from the Heeley family and refused to carry out Delong's order."

Angel Taylor: "I don't understand what the grandsons of the Hilley family are thinking. This time they sent out troops. They also paid for it, and they and their affiliated families should have paid the most. They are not afraid.

Is the money wasted?"

Brady Boyard: "Our Shen State, to put it bluntly, is a country on an isolated island. Although there is a Xu State to the east, it is a vassal state of the Chen State. We are not qualified to provoke it now. To a

For an isolated island country, if you master the navy, you master everything. Therefore, the first priority of the Hilley family is to preserve the strength of the navy, especially their battleship, which is more precious than a treasure. The last time they attacked Zitong Port

At that time, the battleship was injured, and the Hilley family no longer dared to take risks."

Villa Brown frowned and said: "Since the Hilley family values ​​their navy so much, why should we convince them to send troops to attack Zitong Port or Sanxing Port."

Brady Boyard: "Everyone, please don't forget that in addition to our four major families, the Shen Kingdom also has a court above it. Her Majesty the Queen is ambitious and talented and you can leave him alone, but that Guy Guchard is cunning and ambitious.

This time we attack Hai Country, we are risking our lives and wealth. Once we succeed, we can completely suppress the imperial court. But if we fail, Gu Chad will definitely take the opportunity to eliminate the influence of our three families in the country, and even destroy them.

It’s possible that the three of us will be killed.”

Villa Brown: "Even so, it won't have a great impact on the Hilley family."

Brady Boyard sneered and said: "Once our three major families are destroyed, is it possible that Guchard will let go of the Hilley family? Even if there is no way to take advantage of their navy for the time being, it is still very simple to take back their fiefdom. No.

Without a land fiefdom, what can the Heeley family do to support their huge navy?"
