Chapter 2451 The Storm Rises from the South
From September to October, there was no major war on the northern and southern fronts of the Creation Monarchy. Many parties were engaged in multiple games within each other’s actual control areas. Intelligence, public opinion, stability, Public security... Confrontations in these aspects are even more intense than direct war.
The royal power does not shrink from massacres, nor does it absolutely kill indiscriminately. They formulate strict laws in the controlled areas and set up a rich reward and punishment system. In terms of counter-intelligence warfare, all local spies can be punished after reporting and verification. Thirty percent of the whistleblower's property will be used. If he is a spy infiltrating from other places, local residents will be mobilized to mobilize and after arrest, a reward of no less than one year's income will be given to the person concerned.
As for the source of the royal power’s finances, in addition to directly taking over local tax revenue and confiscating the property of those reported, there is also the need to crack down on criminals, local bullies, and local powerful people who do not cooperate and disobey. These people are all extremely wealthy people. , their assets can greatly enrich the royal finances in a short period of time.
In this way, whether it is the area controlled by Anmosi in the north or the radiation range north of Bell Mountain City, the enthusiasm of the residents there is fully mobilized. Under Fried's rule, he made full use of the spread of the plague and the mass production and distribution of special medicines, allowing him to quickly control the local people's sentiments. In addition, due to the war a few years ago and the current disaster, lack of food, and the dispersion of people, Marshal Fried and King Gripen stabilized the security and production conditions in the two places at a relatively small cost. . At the same time, they also attracted a group of new rich people who became rich due to their policies. On the contrary, the situation in the two countries of Demon Moon and Saint Vicoa is much more complicated.
St. Bike Yasindemoor, Zalberg looked at the latest local official document presented on the table and frowned.
"Your Majesty, do you have bad news?" As the king's adjutant and lover, Canaan approached him and gently pressed his shoulder.
“It’s not good or bad.” Zalberg said: “During this period, Hope Gilligan and the owner of the Zhenwu Knights Hall were successively attacked by unknown people, which caused a short Fierce battle."
"The silver devil under the night——Hope· Gilligan, he is the former commander of the Black Feather Camp and the leader of the Zhenwu Knights Hall. They are the most powerful people in our country. How dare they attack them? "
" There were some injuries, not serious," Zalberg said, pointing to the official document.
Canaan said: "Not long after His Majesty appointed General Rainforest as the Supreme Marshal of the Empire, I recently heard ministers talking about the discord between Hope Gilligan and Marshal Anwuhou Yanlong. Is there any reason behind this?"
Zarberg thought for a while and shook his head decisively: "Marquis Anwu is not someone who plays dirty tricks to harm others. If he has any grudges, he will definitely resolve them face to face. Gilligan has served in the Black Feather Camp for many years and has many personal grudges. They are not done by enemies. of It's related to the Creation Kingship."
Jia Nan changed his mind and said: "There is such a master of the King Power Pirates who can injure the master of the Zhenwu Hall? There is no such information in the previous battle records. Why don’t masters with such strength be on the frontal battlefield?”
At this moment, the waiter knocked on the door to announce the visit of Prime Minister Jimmy Carter and Minister of State Grancher Panotta.
Zarberg let them in.
The two ministers are here to report on the military situation, disaster situation, and epidemic situation. After reporting on the disaster and epidemic first, he then talked about military deployment information. Prime Minister Jimmy Carter said: "Anwu Hou Yanlong submitted a battle plan report to my Prime Minister's Office, and he will launch military operations in the near future."< br>
Zalberg asked: "What army "What's the arrangement, what's the battle plan?"
"Uh..." Carter said: "He only mentioned in the report that there would be a military operation, but nothing else. There were no detailed arrangements for the operation during the operation. ”
Zalberg was silent for a while.
Panotta said: "Marquis Anwu has gone too far. At least let us know more. He seems to be informing His Majesty what he is going to do."
Zalberg said with a cold face: "He has such power, and I gave him these powers."
Panotta said: "But he used it as an excuse to better protect military needs. A large number of his subordinates have been installed among some local officials, and even the agricultural finance departments of some local provinces and cities have military officers to supervise. What he did is really... really..." As he was talking, he saw that the Prime Minister did not follow him. His Majesty didn't react much, so he didn't say anything else. Zarberg said: "I believe Anwuhou, and he has given full military power to him. Let's talk about the disaster and the epidemic..."
A few days later, Anwu The troops directly under Wuhou Yanlong arrived at Hamei The city is only about 400 kilometers away from Bell Mountain City. The disaster protection force, part of the Central Army, the local army and the garrison troops were all transferred to this area to garrison. The blue lion Nujia, who had made contributions to Zalbog before, Demon Hunter Swordsman Beamon and others were also transferred here.
After Anwuhou and his supreme marshal Central Camp arrived here, they immediately began to organize military subordinates. Marshal instructions were issued directly from the marshal’s residence to each general, and each army had own tasks. These pre-war arrangements had been made in detail on the way here, and they were just waiting for every general and every unit, including his rainforest army and cronies, to implement them.
The counterattack plan to the area controlled by the Creation Kingship is in full swing.
On the other hand, the Pioneer Marshal Office of Bell Mountain City successively received reports from spies about the marching movements of Saint Bikoya's ministries, as well as news of attacks on some fortress city strongholds in the south. Fried had already learned from Sindmore's intelligence that the person commanding this battle was Anwuhou Yanlong. He immediately summoned the main military officers for a war situation meeting.
Because part of the army was stationed in the south to garrison key areas, there were not many senior officers present at the military meeting. In addition, some San Bikoya officers were forced to surrender, as well as due to doubts about the capabilities of the royal army. , fear of the fame and power of Anwu Hou Yanlong, etc., the meeting seemed surprisingly quiet at first.
After dozens of minutes, the staff introduced the progress and preliminary analysis of the San Vicoia army, and then Calasias took the lead to break the silence of the meeting.
He said: "Anwuhou's troops are divided into multiple routes. From the marching route of each army on the sand table, it seems that they are going to attack at more points on the front. Isn't this arrangement a bit too ambitious? He is Are you so arrogant that you look down on our strength, or do you really have enough troops?”
Fried glanced at everyone, and his eyes fell on Zia Shustin.
Zia Schustin was the first person to actively seek refuge with Fried, but when he saw everyone was silent, he also lowered his head, pretending not to see Fried's eyes.
Fried also knew that most of the surrendering troops and generals he left behind were unreliable. Most of the reliable surrendering troops and generals had been sent out. It was really difficult for these people to speak, so he sent them out. He turned his attention to the officers in the royal army and the people on the west coast.
An officer said: "Such a divided attack is not consistent with common sense. They can't have several times our strength. I think the attack at each point is just to cover a single breakthrough. We don't know what he really wants to attack. Depending on which route we choose, we can only disperse the troops evenly to various points, so we cannot do this. We must find more critical points to invest more troops in resisting. "
Free. De nodded: "That makes sense."
Another officer said: "We must first figure out what the purpose of this march is? If Yanlong wants to come straight in and take Bell Mountain City by force..." He shook his head: "The mountain city is impregnable, and the possibility is extremely small. It will take a long time to attack. Failure is inevitable, and the result will only be that his army will be surrounded, so I guess that he wants to gradually encroach on our control area to gradually reduce the space and front of our army, and then reshape the situation. To achieve the advantage of the majority, use the many to defeat the few."
Fried thought for a while and said: "Based on my understanding of Anwu Hou Yanlong, his command has always been steady, and he does not seek to complete his achievements in one battle, and is good at accumulating small wins. In the end, he won a great victory. Whether it was the battle against the Thakur barbarians or the war against the Demon Moon, he was never anxious or restless, and it was indeed his style to press forward step by step. "
In front of the sand table, he gestured with a command pole and said: "The most important roads from south to north are in these places. We will send generals and elite soldiers to these places, and gather two people in the rear. This support force is not very important in other directions. If we lose it, we can just deploy it like this." He glanced at the officers who came over and said, "You are already surrendering and rebelling. , are you still thinking of defecting back? Oh, whether you are sincerely surrendering or pretending to be wronged, I will give you a chance to prove yourself. I hope you will not let me down in the next military war. I have left the Holy Land. Bikoya, I don’t mind killing Xiri’s fellow soldiers.”
