As they had expected, Brady Boyard, Villa Brown, and Angel Taylor found the head of the Healy family, Marshal Anthony Healy of the Shen Kingdom, and asked the navy to send troops to attack the Hei Kingdom Emperor.

When visiting Sanxing Port or Zitong Port in the urban area, Anthony decisively refused.

Anthony Healy's reasons seem to be very good. First, Sanxing Port and Zitong Port have super coastal defense guns that exceed the range of the battleship's main gun. The specific number is unknown. If the navy attacks rashly, it may cause unnecessary losses. Second, Chen

The Chinese Navy has developed rapidly in recent years, and its combat power is no less than that of the Shen Navy. Up to now, they are still blocking the East China Sea Strait in the name of exercises. Once the Shen Navy suffers heavy losses when attacking Sanxing Port or Zitong Port,

The navy of Chen Kingdom is likely to take the opportunity to launch an attack on the navy of Shen Kingdom. Once the navy of Shen Kingdom is defeated, it will lose sea control over the vast sea area from Shen Kingdom to Hai Kingdom. Without sea control, the army that has landed in Hai Kingdom will be destroyed without attack.

No matter how much Brady and Boyard tried to persuade them, Anthony Healey refused to let go, and insisted on one reason: the navy's most important task is to control the sea area from Shen to Hai, and there cannot be any mistakes.

The risk of storming Sanxing Port and Zitong Port is too great, which may lead to the loss of sea control and thus the loss of the entire war.

Brady Borgard did not agree with Anthony Sheeley's remarks at all, and persuaded him: "Marshal Anthony, the possibility of Chen State's navy directly participating in the war is very small. It can block the East China Sea Strait and ensure the smooth flow of Hai State's diplomatic lines.

This is the limit of what Chen Guo can do."

Anthony Hilley responded: "These are just your guesses. Why do you conclude that Chen Kingdom will definitely not participate in the war. You know, once our Shen Kingdom's navy fails, the entire East China Sea and South China Sea will belong to the Chen Kingdom's navy."

In the world, with such huge interests, how can the Chen Kingdom not be tempted. They are waiting for the opportunity by not moving now. Once our Shen Kingdom's navy is consumed too much in the war, they will definitely jump out and take a bite."

Brady Boyard: "The strength of Chen State has developed too fast in recent years. The big countries such as Ziguo, Weiguo and Yinguo have long been afraid of it. If Chenguo dares to directly participate in the war, it is very likely to attract enemies.

These countries jointly attacked. Therefore, we concluded that Chen State did not dare to directly participate in the war."

Anthony Healey: "These are all your speculations. I can't let the Navy take risks just because of your speculations."

Brady Boyard: "Okay, even if these are just our guesses, one thing is for sure. If we continue to fight the current way, it will be difficult for the war to end in a short time. Moreover, even if we win in the end, it will be nothing more than

It was just a tragic victory. Regardless of the casualties, the military expenditure must be an astronomical figure. Don’t forget that the military expenditure for this war was led by our four major families and raised from the big families across the country. Regardless of the end of the war

Regardless of the outcome, our strength will be severely depleted. Marshal Anthony thinks that when that time comes, will the imperial court still live in peace with us and allow us to absorb most of the interests of the Shen Kingdom?"

Anthony Healy frowned and said: "According to the three of you, this war was a mistake from the beginning. No matter how hard we try, the four major families will inevitably decline. If this is the case, we should withdraw our troops now.

?”

Brady Boyard: "I have no objection to withdrawing our troops now. The money invested in the early stage will be wasted. At least we can maintain our position in the country. I just don't know if Marshal Anthony is willing to do so. After all, your Shiley family

It is the party that invests the most.”

Anthony Hilley pondered for a long time before speaking: "We are in a dilemma now. I can't make a decision at the moment. I need to discuss it with the family members. You three, can you give me some time?"

Brady Boyard: "Marshal Anthony can think about it. We will go back and wait for your news. But I finally want to remind the marshal that once the war drags on for too long or ends in failure, Guchard will definitely take the opportunity.

Weaken our strength. Our three major families will naturally bear the brunt. When our three major families disappear, does Marshal think Guchard will leave the Hilley family alone?"

Villa Brown continued: "The situation is now very clear, and there are only three ways to go. First, we admit defeat, withdraw our troops and return home now to preserve our strength; second, attack Sanxing Port or Zitong in Haiguo

Hong Kong, let the army land from here, attack the Imperial City of Haiguo, and end the war as soon as possible. The only risk here is that the Chenguo Navy directly sends troops to intervene. The three of us think this risk is very small. How the Xilai family decides, it is not us

can intervene; thirdly, if we continue to fight with the current method, no matter whether we can win or not in the end, we will be suppressed by the court because the family's strength has been greatly weakened, and the only thing waiting for us is death. I believe that Xi Lai

The family will definitely make the right choice. Today, we will not disturb you anymore and go back to wait for the good news."

Three days later, the Hillai family finally made a decision and agreed to send the navy to storm Sanxing Port to create conditions for the army to land in the Imperial City of Hai Kingdom.

Next, the heads of the four major families, behind Guchard's back, successfully deceived Queen Lisanna and asked her to issue an imperial edict, strictly ordering Camilla, the commander-in-chief of the air force on the front line, to lead the main force of the air force to assist the navy in attacking the country of Hai.

Sanxing Port. By the time Guchard knew about it, it was already too late. The imperial edict had been issued, and naturally it could not be changed easily, otherwise the Queen's prestige would no longer exist. In desperation, Guchard could only write to Camilla.

A secret letter, asking her to preserve the strength of the air force as much as possible, especially those precious Pegasus.

As the four major families of the Shen Kingdom reached an agreement, the war situation in the Hai Kingdom began to undergo major changes. First of all, in the Tiantai Mountain area, the Shen Kingdom army that had entered the Tiantai Mountains became active again after being silent for more than a month. They continued to attack

The army of Hai State launched an attack, but the scale of each attack was not large, and the target of the attack was not a strategic location, making it difficult to understand what they wanted to do.

The Hai army was stunned by the sudden attack of the Shen army. Although there was not much loss, the Shen people's intentions were unclear, so they did not dare to act rashly.

Delong Boyade took advantage of the opportunity when the Hai people had not recovered, and carried out a large-scale defense change for the troops in the Tiantai Mountain area. A large number of veterans with combat experience were transferred out of the Tiantai Mountain area, and they were originally living outside the Tiantai Mountain area.

The new soldiers of the Sun were sent to the mountains.

Half a month later, 500,000 Shenguo army elites drawn from the Tiantai Mountain area arrived at Hantan Port on the coast of Qingjiangzhou, where a large number of naval troop transports were waiting for them.

Although Delong Boyade's series of actions eluded Chen Xiu who was commanding at the front, Mi Chong, Yan Fang and Zhu Xu in the rear immediately understood that the Shen army was preparing to divide its forces and attack directly.

Imperial City District.

In the war room, Yan Fang said with excitement: "Chong'er, Zhu Aiqing, the Shen army has finally begun to take action, and our strategic vision is about to be realized."

Mi Chong was much calmer at this time and said: "Brother Yan, things are not as simple as we thought. If the Shen army chooses to attack the Imperial City at this time, the intensity of the attack will not be weak. Whether it is Sanxing Port or Zitong

We cannot hold the port. The only thing we can count on are the fortresses leading from the port to the imperial city. Once these fortresses are breached, our imperial city will be in danger."

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Princess Lan, please don't underestimate these fortresses of ours. They were designed and supervised by military architecture experts specially invited by your Majesty from Chen and Wei. It costs only 500,000 yuan."

The Shen Army is not yet capable of breaking through these fortresses."

Mi Chong: "Since the Shen Kingdom has chosen to attack the Imperial City, it is impossible to have only 500,000 people. General Zhu, don't forget that the Shen Kingdom Navy also has 200,000 marines. It is said that it is also a very powerful team."

Zhu Xu pointed to the sand table and said: "Princess, please see, no matter whether the Shen army lands from Sanxing Port or Zitong Port, if they want to attack the Imperial City, there is only one route to take, Heming Mountain and Longmen.

This corridor in the middle of the mountain is their only path. Our three fortresses are built on this corridor."

When Mi Chong was conducting war games with Ye Moze in the Si Kingdom, these fortresses in the Hai Kingdom had not yet been built, so they were not marked on the sand table used at that time. After Mi Chong arrived in the Hai Kingdom, the focus of the war has been

Tiantai Mountain area, so she hasn't taken a closer look at these fortresses.

Judging from the sand table, this corridor sandwiched between Heming Mountain and Longmen Mountain is about 60 kilometers long, with a width ranging from 5 kilometers to 15 kilometers. In the middle of the corridor, there is a place where the width suddenly changes from 6 kilometers to 15 kilometers.

From about one kilometer to twelve kilometers, three fortresses were built on this suddenly widened open land.

The three fortresses are all large fortresses that can accommodate one hundred thousand officers and soldiers to fight inside. The three fortresses are distributed in an equilateral triangle, with two parallel in front and one in the back. The distance between every two fortresses is about seven kilometers.

Mi Chong: "Brother Yan, I have a question, why should we build three fortresses in a place that is more than ten kilometers wide instead of building fortresses in the narrowest places."

Yan Fang replied with a smile: "Look at the sand table. In this relatively wide place, we can place two fortresses in parallel. In this way, the firepower output of the fortresses to the outside world will be large enough. At the same time, the place where the enemy attacks happens to be relatively narrow. They

The number of troops that can be invested is relatively small. In this way, we can gain a local advantage in military strength. As for the purpose of building three fortresses in one place, it is even simpler. No matter which of our fortresses the enemy attacks, the other two will

All fortresses can provide fire support. Our magic city defense artillery has a range of more than ten kilometers. As long as the enemy dares to approach any fortress, he will be attacked by artillery fire from the three fortresses at the same time."
