Chapter 466 Southern Border Raiders (1)
Chapter 466: Southern Xinjiang Strategy (Part 1)
On October 16, 2017, the superpower located at the northern end of the Star Sea, another major event happened to the Shufeng Empire - the former important minister of the Empire and the first-class marquis, Marshal Xue Chunfeng, finally announced the establishment of the country, and the twelve provinces in the southern border officially separated from the empire!
Since the Queen's accident, although this former military veteran of the former Empire has been making small moves secretly, he has at least maintained an apparent submission attitude towards the imperial capital! Now, after more than half a year, the Southern Army has been integrated and digested, and all his confidants have been placed in the key positions! In addition, the political situation of the imperial capital continues to turmoil, and he realized that the time is ripe, he finally tore off the cloak of the imperial subordinates and proclaimed himself emperor!
When the news spread, Zhu Zhaoyuan was furious and wanted to order the mobilization of heavy troops to quell the rebellion! However, it was dissuaded by the heads of the six major families, on the grounds that the domestic political situation had not yet stabilized, and the military that had undergone a great purge had no more outstanding commanders, and their morale was also low. It was really not appropriate to launch a large-scale war at this time!
These reasons are certainly true, but the real reason is that they are about to launch, and the entire empire will soon become their private property, so they are unwilling to let Zhu Zhaoyuan send troops!
If the rebellion is really quelled under the auspices of this woman, then she, who had a very poor reputation, may recreate a positive image for herself with this achievement, and her status will naturally be more stable, which is obviously unfavorable to them!
Their wishful thinking was to send troops in the name of the six major families after usurping the imperial artifacts. In this way, the achievements of quelling the rebellion and maintaining the unity of the empire became an important bargaining chip for the six major families to win people's hearts and stabilize their status!
Of course, the various calculations of the senior management of the empire cannot affect the Star Kingdom, which is more than 100,000 light years away! The senior management of the kingdom who had learned the news in advance began to prepare without any trace a week ago!
Now the kingdom's military strength has increased significantly compared to nine months ago! The number of warships has exceeded 2 million! These include more than 500,000 warships of the former Imperial Guard Corps and ten elite supernatural corpses. This part of the force is still led by former Imperial Guard Corps Commander Wu Yankong!
Then there is the 300,000 Kingdom Guard Fleet and six supernatural corpses that he directly controlled! There are more than 1.5 million warships, and the twenty-five supernatural corpses are under the jurisdiction of several confidant generals including Tian Xuanhao!
Finally, there are foreign players from the Cangling organization, and there are twenty supernatural corpses full of personnel. Each legion has a standard organization of 60,000 people, with a total of 1.2 million elite supernatural corpses! In addition, the other party has also sent fifteen powerful men at the demigod level or above, including two peak masters at the fifteenth level!
Compared with Xue Chunfeng's power at hand, the kingdom is indeed at a disadvantage. However, in terms of senior generals, the kingdom side has a strong lineup, and there is no other general with enough reputation and talent in the Southern Army except Xue Chunfeng himself!
What's more, since Yun Haoyu established the country, he has always won the more with less. With his trump card at hand, he can completely win the opponent in a short time and take the entire Shangyu Galaxy system into his pocket!
At the military meeting, Feng Lanxi gave a detailed explanation to the ministers present on the three-dimensional projection star map of the entire twelve provinces in southern Xinjiang:
"Most of the generals present were from the Imperial Legion before, and they also participated in wars with the Federation. It can be said that they snatched this galaxy from the troops of the Federal Legion with His Majesty! Therefore, they have a relatively detailed understanding of the combat mode of the Imperial Legion and the various terrain of this galaxy..."
She said that, when she started a war with the Federation, the fleet was headed by Xue Chunfeng, and the superpower legion was controlled by Yun Haoyu. The generals of various departments cooperated continuously. Through a series of hard battles, they took this galaxy for the empire!
But after a few years, the robes in the same camp are now going to fight each other and fight to death for their respective camps! The impermanence of the world is really amazing!
"Of course, the difficulty of the war will not be reduced too much because of this! What I want to remind all the generals is that the opponents faced by the Kingdom Fleet this time are no longer those inconsistent forces in the past, but the elite main legion of the superpower, and they are also commanded by famous generals!"
"As for us, IMHO, since the founding of the Kingdom, the Kingdom fleet has not experienced a real hard battle! Even when facing enemies that are several times more than us, we can win at a relatively small price with certain advantages!"
"But now, facing the elite main legion of millions of empires, the war we are about to face will never be as easy as before! The most important point is that there are many mobile interstellar fortresses in the imperial legion, and their advantage in firepower is obvious!"
"The star fields that originally belonged to the Federation have complete star defense systems, and various defense facilities are extremely advanced! At the beginning, we had the entire empire as our backing and did not lack the means of response. We still took a lot of effort to defeat the Federal Legion! This time if we were ourselves, the pressure was imaginable!"
"So, I would like to advise you not to take this war lightly! This is a major event in which the kingdom can truly rise, and it is the key to whether the kingdom can be successfully upgraded to the empire! If it succeeds, the future plan for the Inverted Empire will have capital; if it fails, our previous efforts will be gone!"
Feng Lanxi's words were as cold and dull as ever, without any emotional meaning! It pointed out the biggest drawback of the Kingdom Fleet at present!
Without experiencing real hard battles, the combat level and psychological quality of the officers and soldiers cannot be compared with the elites of the Imperial Legion; without a mobile interstellar fortress, it means that they are inferior to the other party in firepower, and they will inevitably suffer losses in the battle!
Gu Longs smiled and said, "What Your Highness said is not without reason! However, the old minister has worked with Xue Chunfeng for many years and is well aware of his character and is well aware of his command style and common strategies! So, please allow the old minister to serve as the commander in this battle!"
"As long as we make targeted deployment in advance, we can weaken our disadvantages as much as possible! Defeat the other party at a relatively small cost!"
Yun Haoyu nodded immediately: "It's so good! This time the commander-in-chief will be presided over by Gu Longsiqing, and Tian Xuanhao is your deputy!"
After a brief discussion, the personnel arrangements were decided. Next was a detailed discussion of the specific combat plan! Out of trust in Gulons, the combat plan was basically formulated according to his proposal!
There are more than ten star domains between the current border of the kingdom and the southern border. Within three thousand light years, the army can rush over directly without caring about the reactions of those small forces! Of course, to be on the safe side, Yun Haoyu decided to send a fleet to wipe out all the small forces in this small star area! To avoid trouble at that time!
Gulons' combat plan is to "use the right combination and the strange victory!", "The right complements the right and the real combination, and the real combination of the virtual and the real combination!"
Xue Chunfeng set his capital in the Zhiyuan Star Domain, which was once the most important high-tech heavy industry center of the former Federation in the Shangyu Galaxy! It has a large population and a prosperous economy, so it is perfect for being the capital of the new empire!
In response to this situation, Guluns, combined with the terrain characteristics of the major star fields along the way, decided to personally lead the main legion of the Kingdom to face Xue Chunfeng head-on; then sent Cameron to lead a side division commander to sneak into the opponent's confidant area through a secret waterway selected in advance, and suddenly launch it when appropriate! To restrain the opponent's strength!
Given that the other party has more than ten large mobile interstellar fortresses, although the Starlight Kingdom does not have equal equipment to deal with, it is not unimaginable! The 100,000 "Qianyuan"-class warships under Wu Yankong are first-class weapons! Whether it is the rate of fire, range, charging speed, and destructive power, they are extremely powerful!
It would be better to let them restrain the actions of the interstellar fortress! Apart from that, there is actually nothing to worry about!
This time, the Starry Kingdom dispatched troops to scatter the country! Except for the 300,000 fleet that was left in the capital, Yang Wentao was responsible for guarding the house, almost all the warships that could be mobilized were collected!
According to the established plan, except for Cameron who led a fleet of 200,000 secretly sneaking into the heart of the southern Xinjiang star field and waiting for the call, the remaining military power was temporarily under Gulons' command! The number was about 50% of the southern Xinjiang legion!
Such a large fleet has never been in the history of the kingdom! Logistics, communications, and life security are extremely severe tests! Yun Haoyu has ordered the Zhong Mingrui brothers and sisters to put down all the work at hand for the time being and coordinate the dispatch and preparation of various military supplies with the entire wise regiment!
As the head of the logistics department, Bernard is busy until late at night every day! He has indeed made him very tired these days!
However, he did not complain that the impact of this war on the kingdom was significant! If the entire battle situation was defeated due to his mistakes, then he would be a sinner!
The fleet that set out to fight was about two million warships, but the transportation fleet that provided logistics support for them reached more than twice this number! And they were all large-tonnage high-speed transport ships purchased from the Empire!
Meng Xuan calculated that for such a huge military operation, the consumption of various materials every day will not be less than 5 billion source crystals, which can be said to be spending money like flowing water! If it were an ordinary kingdom, such a large-scale military use plan would be unimaginable!
In the southern Xinjiang star field, Xue Chunfeng, who had just become emperor, is discussing the future strategic trends of his empire with several confidant generals!
"In view of the dual pressures from both north and south, in order to improve this unfavorable strategic situation, I decided to choose one direction to use troops to achieve the goal of improving the geopolitical security situation of the empire and expanding the space for survival and development!" He announced,
Chapter completed!
