Chapter 2973 The Snake Plan
"Your Highness is right. After the Split Claw Conspiracy officially declared war, one-third of the captains of the Steel-Eyed Reaver Pirates chose to leave or not join the war. Among them, nearly fifty ships even chose to seek refuge in the Royal Court. It was these people who brought detailed intelligence and information, and some chose to seek refuge in the Shadow Hub because Zargarn offered a very generous price. If you are willing to break away from the Steel Eyes Pirates, you will not only have permanent trade and settlement rights in the Shadow Hub, but also receive a large reward. In this case, Kelis Canelli only has about 400 warships in his hands now. Your Highness, you also know that the ships of the pirate group are relatively small, basically pirate-class, hellebore-class and aconite-class. Compared with the warships of the conspiracy group, their firepower is not superior."
"So, she is now. I hope the royal court will help her fight off Zargarn, and then what?”
Soshyan stretched out his palm, looked at Doral, and then looked at Veronica.
“Our previous conditions were to allow her limited autonomy, and only require authorization from the royal court for large-scale operations. At the same time, we also gave her equipment, position and other preferential treatment, but she was still dragging her feet. La, it’s urgent to be known now, but there is nothing such a good thing in the world.”
Veronica nodded too.
“I gave her that condition because she had a thousand ships, but now she doesn’t even have half of them left, so naturally she is not worthy of such conditions. Sir Doral, what do you think? ?”
“Back to Your Majesty, this is natural. It can keep her alive. Having a decent status is already magnanimous. But Your Majesty, Your Highness, now we have richer loot than the Steel-Eyed Pirates. Put it in front of us."
Soshiyang looked at Doral, and the two suddenly smiled knowingly, showing a tacit understanding between the king and his ministers.
“Yes, the Steel-Eyed Pirates are just stragglers, no more than one, no less than one, but the Shadow Hub is a great gift, but I don’t think Aiqing is now You just considered the Shadow Hub, right? Otherwise, how could you investigate it so clearly?”
"Back to Your Highness, the Privy Council has actually been formulating strategies related to Comoros for a long time. It has formulated several plans in total. After discussions with Lord Ivahan and several chamberlain ministers, I felt that one of them was the most feasible and submitted it. To your Majesty."
"Huh?"
Soshyan turned to look at Veronica.
"Yes?"
Veronica blinked innocently.
"It seems there is. Maybe the honorable mother who received the Arrakhan tribe was too busy some time ago, and I forgot about it? Besides, I don't know much about this." "Then where is this plan?" < br>
“Go back to your highness, I have prepared another one here.”
As if he had expected this, Doral took the spirit bone shaft barrel from his waist. He pulled out another piece of soft spiritual paper, and then asked the Phoenix Forbidden Army to forward it to Soshyan.
After Soshiyan opened it, the text stood out in the air, like a display screen.
This plan, codenamed Snake, has roughly four steps.
The first step is to win over and divide the internal forces in Comoros, especially those conspiracy groups who are highly dissatisfied with Victor and have had great hatred. There are more than a dozen conspiracy groups listed in it, all of which are considered It is a target that can be won over. The main means are rewards, promised territory, etc. In addition, for non-cabal forces in Comoros, such as the Witch Spirit Cult, Nightmare Temple, Mandela Clan and other forces, find ways to keep them as much as possible. Neutral, this is actually already being done.
The second step is relatively new, which is to prioritize occupying and controlling other secondary hubs in the Network Channel. The main purpose of doing this is to block Victor's possible reinforcements and the enemy's escape direction. In addition, the secondary hubs Hubs are the advance bases for many cabal groups' plundering activities. Controlling them is equivalent to strangulating the lifeblood of some cabal groups. They can use coercion to force them to obey the instructions of the royal court. Finally, they can send troops to Como from the secondary hubs. It would be much faster for Robbie to enter directly through the entrance and exit of the webway. There are still many Victor spies in the royal court. If troops are dispatched with great fanfare, they will be easily discovered. However, if the troops are secretly assembled in the secondary hub, Then a raid was launched and things were different.
But there is another key to this step, which is to ensure that Victor will not find that the secondary hub is occupied. Generally speaking, the Black Heart Cabal rarely pays attention to those secondary hubs occupied by the Exiles and Fringe Cabal. hub, but if the flag of the royal court is blatantly set up, Victor will still be alert. After all, this is one of the best old foxes in Ada's race.
So the Royal Court must not only control these important places, but also ensure that they still appear to be controlled by the cabal. The only way is to control and puppet a cabal to occupy these secondary hubs. This is also planned. focus.
In the third step, when the operation is about to be launched, secretly transport the two Blackstone Fortresses to the secondary hub and assemble there. The plan of the Snake Plan is for the Royal Court to conduct a war first as a cover, using this as a reason Mobilize the Blackstone Fortress, and once the Blackstone Fortress is in place, immediately deploy the troops, and at the same time let the agents in Comoros open the channel. The Royal Court's fleet will escort the Blackstone Fortress directly to Comoros, and publicly announce that the Royal Court will only attack the Black Heart Conspiracy. Other cabals will not be called hostile targets as long as they do not interfere.
The fourth step, in order to prevent Victor from jumping over the wall, the Phoenix Forbidden Army and other elite forces must control the sealed gate of Como immediately. It is best to have the Nightmare Temple on the side of the empire. The plan even proposed Nightmares can be allowed to retain their way of life and territory as followers of Khaine, and recognize their legal status in the royal court in exchange for their support. At the same time, it is also necessary to use bombing or psychic powers to isolate the connections between Comoros cities. , ensuring that Victor’s power will be difficult to fully mobilize.
In fact, if we really want to go into detail, the entire plan has dozens of steps, and there are many details and appendices, including the size of the troops that need to be used, and even a detailed siege simulation to analyze the attack Which areas should use what troops, and there is also a plan for dealing with the Haemonculi. What surprised Soshiyang here is that the Snake Plan does not agree with the destructive attitude of most residents of the Royal Court towards the Haemonculi. The plan states that A tightly guarded webway prison can be built to house these evil and deviant people. The reason is that the biological and spiritual knowledge possessed by these Haemonculi is an important asset to the empire. It is undoubtedly a waste to discard it casually. Their knowledge and skills are extremely useful against enemies such as greenskins and tyranids.
In addition, there are arrangements in the plan to deal with the conspiracy groups after the war. This is more radical than dealing with the Haemonculi - the method is to have all the senior members of the conspiracy groups go to the Asuryan Holy Fire, and arrange some tricks in the middle. Kill them all and then refute it by saying that their souls have passed into Asuryan's arms and been reborn.
