Chapter 1379 read sea control
Now the direction of conflict with the Allies is mainly India and Yinzhou.
The generals in the Gan Dynasty used to fight domestically, and they had no experience in fighting across thousands of miles like this.
Everyone in the lobby was talking and expressing their opinions.
Gao Huan and others discussed for a while, and smiled and said, "What? Don't have any ideas?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Li Ping said in a long salute: "Your Majesty. Now it seems that we will be divided into two lines between the East and West. I think that when fighting on the two lines, there must be a focus, either focusing on Yinzhou or focusing on attacking India."
This is what I say when I hear you, and I like to say when I say something.
Gao Huan pondered for a moment, "Which direction do you think the court should focus on?"
The generals discussed again, and Huang Degong said, "Your Majesty, I think fighting on two fronts is not good for us. The court should look at which battlefield has advantages and which battlefield crisis, concentrate its strength, defeat the front line first, and then solve the enemy on the other side. If I were asked to make a plan, I would definitely focus on attacking India first."
Now that Gao Huan's country has settled down, he has no more fear of the former generals in his heart.
Huang Degong left the army for many years and taught in the Army Officers Academy for many years. Gao Huan transferred him out of the school more than two years ago, led a large army again to guard Yunnan.
Gao Huan said, "Oh, tell me your reasons."
Huang Degong immediately took the wooden pole handed over by Zhang Huangyan and pointed at the Indian region. "I suggest that I focus on attacking the Allied troops of India first, for three considerations. One is that the distance is far away, India is relatively close, and it is connected by land. Relatively speaking, the court can quickly organize troops and launch an attack on the Allied troops on the Western Front. Yinzhou is different. The distance is too far, and the time it takes to send the army to the imperial court to launch a major battle in India. In addition, Yinzhou is far away from us and close to the Allied groups, and they can continuously reinforce Yinzhou, so the war will inevitably not be decided quickly. Therefore, from the perspective of distance, I suggest that I take India first."
"Okay!" Gao Huan exclaimed. In fact, this reason could make him decide. However, Gao Huan still asked: "What are the other two reasons?"
Huang Degong said: "Secondly, in terms of the urgency of the war, Yinzhou has been fighting intermittently for nearly ten years. Our strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the criticality is not as high as the Western Front. Before participating in the meeting, I read the military briefing provided by the Military Office. After the Mughal Empire on the Western Front joined the Allies, the power balance has changed. Now that the British and French fleets have been cut off, the imperial court's sea route to the Western Front, the situation on the Western Front is even more dangerous. Therefore, I believe that the Western Front should be reinforced first."
"After I declared war, Britain and France are worried that I will support the Western Front and will launch a fierce attack. The crisis on the Western Front is greater than that on the Eastern Front." Gao Huan nodded slightly, and the generals nodded.
Huang Degong continued: "The third is to consider it from the perspective of geopoliticality. Even if Yinzhou is defeated, the Allies will not be able to threaten the great-sected local areas in a short period of time. If the Western Front is defeated, the Allies will directly threaten Uszang and the southwest. Our dynasty has to use a large number of troops to defend the Western Front, and the support for the Eastern Front will be abandoned halfway. Therefore, I believe that from a geographical perspective, we should also focus on attacking the Western Front."
Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction and exclaimed: "Your dear is worthy of being the old coach! You all have other opinions."
Huang Degong stayed in the Army Officer Academy for several years. He calmed down and read a lot of military books. He also read books on geography, politics, etc. He learned a lot of knowledge in the school and had more knowledge than many generals who led the army.
Everyone looked at each other, and many people were a little dissatisfied, but they had no other opinions. They could only hold their fists and say, "I have no objection."
Before Gao Huan held a meeting with the military, he also discussed with the Council of the Council. The civil servant group meant to focus on attacking the Western Front.
The reasons they gave were mainly two points, namely, starting from both economic and moral directions.
Economically, Ganchao needs India's huge market to dump goods and cannot control India. Overproduction will occur here and cause an economic crisis.
Morally speaking, Britain and France sneaked into Ganchao in Kolkata. Ganchao claimed to take revenge, so he naturally went to the Western Front to settle the scores with Britain and France, and ran to something to beat Spain, which was a bit inappropriate.
Now that the civil service group and the military have a unified opinion, Gao Huan made a decision.
"All my dear friends come here!" Gao Huan took the baton and said seriously: "I have decided to adopt the strategy of west first and then east."
When everyone heard this, they surrounded the sand table and watched Gao Huan pointing to the southwest with wooden poles. "The imperial court and the Western State built the road to enter the Indian and Western State. It has been a year since time passed. There are tens of thousands of people who have died in the western State. Now most of the road to the western State has been built in the southwest. The project has been blocked in the section between the Western State and Bangladesh."
Gao Huan pointed to a mountain range between India and Myanmar, "This is the Rakan Mountains, which separates India and Myanmar. However, although the road is not fully connected, according to the information I have collected, the army can pass, but it is not convenient to transport supplies."
Gao Huan paused here, "I am going to send a Western Pacific Fleet to seize the sea control of the west coast of Yinzhou. The war on land will be handed over to Xinshang Company, Fusang, Japan, and North Korea to form the Yinzhou Legion to restrain the Allied Army that assisted the Eastern Front. On the Western Front, I am going to dispatch 100,000 troops to recruit troops from Luzon, Vietnam, Xinming, Zhenla, Nanzhang, Siam and other armies, plus the troops of Meng and Western countries to form the Western Front cluster."
"I estimate that the Western Front Legion will have as many as 400,000 or 500,000 troops. In addition to obtaining certain grain supplies from Bangladesh, military supplies and some grains and grass all need to be allocated and replenished by the imperial court." Gao Huan continued to point to the southwest, "So many troops, not so many sea boats on the sea route, I decided to go on land and enter India! The main problem now is that the road is blocked and transportation supplies are inconvenient. What I mean is that the grain is purchased from the Western Kingdom and Siam nearby, and the military supplies are supplied by sea. The military supplies are divided into two lines, one set sail from Guangzhou, bypassed Malacca to arrive in India. The other goes to Yunnan, enter the Western Kingdom, and along the built road, transported to Yangon, and then enter India by sea."
This time, Gao Huan sent troops to India to completely control India and then dismembered the Indian region into multiple countries.
Judging from Gao Huan's experience, if India is unified, from a geopolitical perspective, it will definitely threaten the hard-working southwest border.
India has a vast territory and to control the entire territory, so many troops must be needed.
After Gao Huan finished speaking, he looked at Huang Fei, Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai, Gu San and other naval generals, and said seriously: "If the army wants to replenish supplies from the sea, it must grasp the control of the Indian Ocean. Now I will order you to immediately draw the main warships and form an Indian Ocean fleet, and seize the control of the sea within half a year!"
