Chapter 663 Military Preparations
Since Qu Mao had already forcefully requested that the Yizhen Territory launch a campaign against the principality at the end of January of the fourth year of Tianxuan, the heroes present at the meeting no longer had any other differences and focused on a more detailed discussion of the rough plan drawn up by Qu Mao.
Although Su Yan didn't agree with Qu Mao's counterattack on Liu Wang Duchy so quickly, she couldn't raise her objections anymore.
Army heroes and navy heroes also made suggestions. If they can't dissuade Qu Mao, then they should work hard to implement Qu Mao's decision. Basically, the heroes in Yizhen territory have relatively high qualifications, and they still have this awareness.
A group of heroes discussed for a long time. Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said: "Sir, how many soldiers will be converted from Zhao Pan's army into the expeditionary force? I think there must be a charter.
In addition, the specific number of people dispatched by the Cavalry Legion, Marksman Legion and Magician Legion should also be clarified.
The current expeditionary force is mainly composed of the troops from the Duke of Liu who invaded our Yizhen territory and changed their banners. Although the troops from Lord Sunan to support the mainland will be incorporated into the expeditionary force in the future, it will definitely not be enough to rely on this small force.
The reinforcements sent by your Chosen player friends total more than 300,000 high-level troops and basic-level troops. Your subordinates feel that they can interact with the army and select nearly 100,000 low-level soldiers to add to the expeditionary army.
After all, there are still enemies on the outskirts of Yizhen's territory, so it would be inappropriate to mobilize all the army."
Zhao Pan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Sir, what Master Kong Ming said makes sense, but our territory has a defensive tower array, and the cavalry is basically of no use in coastal defense operations.
My subordinate’s idea is that all the cavalry corps will go to fight in the Kingdom of Liuwang, and I will personally lead it; the magician corps can be a junior magician unit of about 50 people; the marksman corps plays a greater role in coastal defense operations, so send less
past."
Qu Mao thought for a while and said: "The only seaport city in Liuwang Principality is Yancheng, and the coastline is not long enough. Therefore, the existing strength of the expeditionary navy is sufficient, but the navy of Sylvia Ocean must assist in transporting troops there.
, even during the troop transportation phase, the navy needs full escort.
As for the army, what Kong Ming said makes sense. Zhang Da's garrison are all low-level soldiers, and they will definitely not be mobilized to fight in Liuwang Principality.
In the army, most of them should not move. Let’s dispatch 10,000 cavalry troops. Let’s dispatch 20,000 Tier 3 long-range troops, Tier 4 long-distance troops and Tier 5 long-range troops in total. The Magician Legion will be led by Sophie Trani.
Lead, bringing a total of 150 people there.
As for the expeditionary force, in addition to the navy, before the official departure, including the reinforcements from my friends and the conversion of the army, we can make up an army of 800,000.
Sunan is within the territory of the Liuwang Principality. Not counting the Liuwang Principality troops who instigated rebellion, the troops trained by himself alone need to reach 1 million, and the first-level warriors are not allowed to exceed 500,000.
Su Yan, prepare 1 million gold coins as soon as possible. Zhao Pan selects five army heroes as soon as possible and Sylvia Ocean sends them over as soon as possible.
The soldiers recruited by Sunan can hide as long as they can. By January of the fourth year of Tianxuan, even if they are exposed, we can quickly expand the troops of Liuwang Principality. If that doesn't work, why don't we launch an attack earlier?"
Su Yan nodded and said: "Yes, sir!
After the meeting, my subordinates contacted Suber, but as it turns out, the number of troops in our Yizhen territory is a little too high."
Qu Mao smiled and said: "After taking down the Liudu Principality, there will be no problem with the ratio of warriors to the total population.
Moreover, Liu Qianhui is right. We have the attributes of God's Chosen Ones and cannot be judged entirely based on the experience of aboriginal forces. Although we only have a population of tens of millions, there is no problem in raising about 5 million troops.
In the folded space left on each island, the food output of the cultivated land in it in one year is enough to support tens of millions of people for decades.
Just adding more than 100 super warships will require at least 400,000 more naval soldiers, which is a bit stressful. The army also needs to add a large number of senior soldiers, which is a pressure for Zhao Pan.
It is naturally the best thing to be able to defeat the outer enemy warships before dispatching troops to the princely kingdom, but even if we cannot defeat them, as long as the navy can ensure that our soldiers can reach Yancheng Port safely, then it doesn't matter."
Sylvia Ocean said disdainfully: "Sir, with the support of so many super warships like yours, if our navy cannot win the war in the peripheral waters, then it will be really useless."
Shanks Reid also said: "Sir, you don't have to worry or worry. The navy will definitely be able to defeat the outer enemy forces before the end of December, as long as the super warships can be replenished on time."
Qu Mao clicked on the lord communication channel, searched for Lai Die's information, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "In addition to the deployment of troops, combat readiness materials must also be prepared in advance.
In the early days and now, each military factory mainly produces ballistas and crossbows for warships and arrows for defense towers. During this period, they must also prepare to produce consumables for long-range troops.
In addition, military rations and marching facilities also need to be produced..."
Su Yan said: "My lord, I think that to attack Prince Liu, I will take charge personally and there is no need to prepare these things."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "To be prepared, by the way, we will promote the development of the military factories in the territory. There are currently Yidao Military Factory, Lidao Military Factory, Jidao Military Factory, Qiandao Military Factory and Liandao Military Factory. If the production capacity is insufficient, then in
Ji Dao continues to build a military factory.
Kongming’s hydrodynamic facilities should be equipped at Jidao Military Factory as soon as possible. Even if the technology is not perfect, they should be installed as soon as possible and optimized as they are used.”
Xuande said: "Sir, we can try this in Jidao. The hydrodynamic facilities can increase production capacity by about ten times."
Kong Ming said: "Yes, sir! I will replace the power system of the industrial facilities with water power as soon as possible during peacetime, but the production of military supplies should be left to Xuande.
Including the construction of the new military factory, leave it to Xuande and just build it on Jidao.
On the other hand, Mr. Xinping, you should pay attention to collecting information about the invading fleets of the peripheral God-Chosen player lord forces, as well as information about the Liuwang Principality, and prepare for war."
Xuande said: "Okay, Ji Dao will build another arsenal as soon as possible to produce war consumables, such as marching rations, marching tents, etc."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Since everyone has reached a consensus, let's prepare separately.
We cannot relax on the work at hand now. Although the Liuwang Principality is vast, I hope that Su Yan’s battle to restore the country will not last more than half a year."
Kong Ming stood up, nodded and said: "My lords, since you have made arrangements, let's prepare separately."
Su Yan came close to Qu Mao and whispered: "Thank you, sir!"
Qu Mao patted Su Yan on the shoulder and said nothing.
Chapter completed!
