The intelligence department of the Lions Empire has been quite busy recently, and they have to pay close attention to the naval movements of the Tang Empire.
Although all signs indicate that the target of the Tang Empire's action is very likely to be a mirage, the Lions Empire does not want their Bunas Port to be suddenly attacked by a huge fleet.
The diplomatic department of the Lions Empire is communicating repeatedly with the Tang Empire’s ambassador to the Lions Empire to confirm that the Tang Empire will not take military action against the Lions Empire.
Although the ambassador of the Tang Empire has repeatedly stated that there will be no military action against the Lines Empire, the Lines Empire is still extremely nervous.
First of all, Lions I assembled 100,000 troops in the direction of Bunas. At the same time, the navy fleet of the Lions Empire was also on alert. The atmosphere in the entire eastern continent was very solemn, because the Poplar Empire and the Ice Empire in the north were also on alert.
It seems that war may break out at any time.
Therefore, the intelligence department of the Lions Empire has been very busy recently. They are desperately collecting all the information about the naval operations of the Datang Empire, and they are not willing to let go of any information.
As soon as he entered the door, this official from the intelligence department of the Lions Empire, who had been busy all day, unbuttoned his collar, took a sip of water and said, "I'm exhausted."
"How was the investigation?" his colleague asked curiously.
The intelligence officer in charge of this matter said disdainfully: "There are some things that even a blind man can detect! No matter how good the Tang Empire's intelligence work is, there is no way to conceal such a huge strategic preparation."
As he spoke, he made exaggerated movements: "Their oil tankers are moving north, not ten, not twenty, but hundreds! Can you imagine a country gathering so many oil tankers, gathering so many
Supply ships? Except for the Tang Empire, no country can have so many transport ships."
The intelligence officers of the Lions Empire, which is far away in Linshui, recently saw a sight they may have never seen in their lives: the transport ships of the Tang Empire docked on the sea, so many that it will cause trypophobia.
In order to ensure the logistics of the expedition, the Tang Empire even assembled a number of ships specialized in transporting food supplies to follow up. They could not support the landing operations, but they could provide sufficient supplies for subsequent operations.
The entire plan was huge and complex, so there was no confidentiality at all during its execution: as long as the other party had some ears and eyes, they would probably guess the strategic plan of the Tang Empire.
Just listen to the official who compiled the intelligence say: "On the pier, there are personnel transport ships docked as far as the eye can see! Each of these ships can carry thousands of people, but such a ship... is near the water.
There are thousands of ships in Beiyuan, in Dongwan, and on Dragon Island that we can’t see!”
Not only personnel transport ships, but also tank transport ships, hospital ships, supply ships, and ships mobilized by the Tang Empire, the number exceeds 4,000. There are even some ships for backup.
These ships also include engineering ships that build floating docks, as well as specially designed sacrificial ships that are responsible for breaking away possible minefields.
He shook his head as he spoke, obviously not understanding the behavior of the Tang Empire: "I don't know why the Tang Empire had the confidence to organize such a large-scale attack without being able to send aircraft to the Mirage... But their commander
Obviously very confident about it.”
"Who knows?" His colleague put down the document in his hand and made an incomprehensible expression.
The person next to me who was recently helping to sort out the intelligence of the Tang Empire also joined the discussion: "The troops of the Tang Empire are gathering and mobilizing. Although they keep it secret, soldiers enter the port and walk onto the dock every day...
In a high-rise building on the water, if you hold up a high-magnification telescope, you can see the scene of huge crowds of people riding boats."
As he spoke, he picked up a newspaper from the Tang Empire: "Their TV stations and newspapers, including radio stations, are scolding the numerous crimes committed by the Mirage Kingdom in Beiyuan and Dongwan. In the past, Qi and Zheng
People have been aroused to the mood of revenge. The entire Tang Empire is cheering for being able to attack the Mirage Kingdom. No one of them is worried about the failure of the war, they are worried about the war being cancelled!"
"The streets were full of people marching. Women held up signs saying "Kill the goblins." The survivors in Beiyuan City even exposed their breasts and denounced the goblins for defiling their bodies." As he spoke, he picked up another hand.
A newspaper, pointing to a disheveled old woman on it, showed it to his colleagues.
The title is very clear. It is a woman from Beiyuan City accusing the goblins of crimes committed in Beiyuan City. Her expression is painful and twisted, which makes people feel extremely distressed.
"The men are like powder keg, they have been ignited... In the eyes of the Tang people, the Tang people cannot be violated. They wave their fists to find a place for the persecuted women. The recruitment office of the Tang Empire has even
There's a long queue." Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh that the Tang Empire had stood up for its righteousness, and the entire country had begun to prepare for the war.
This situation makes the monarchs of other countries very envious, because it is the power they want but cannot get. Being able to mobilize the emotions of the entire country and serve themselves is exciting to think about.
Therefore, the officials of the intelligence department in this office are also very envious of the Tang Empire's ability to control public opinion. Some people can't help but sigh: "Countless people hope to join the army and serve the country. They don't care about sacrifice, or they
They advocate sacrifice and are willing to sacrifice for victory. In their eyes, the Tang Empire has never failed!"
"Conservative calculations indicate that the first batch of troops of the Tang Empire to attack the Mirage Kingdom exceeded 100,000. Whether these troops can break through the Mirage Kingdom's defense line will be the key to whether the Mirage Kingdom can defend its territory." The one who just returned to the office.
The official continued.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, he conservatively estimated the power of the Tang Empire: the Tang Empire mobilized more than 100,000 troops.
His colleagues quickly talked about the Mirage's response: "The Mirage did not sit still and wait for death. They imported 300,000 tons of concrete from Dorne and Gobel, and at the same time purchased metals from almost all countries. They have done a good job
Without preparations for war, the Tang Empire may not be able to win easily this time."
Someone followed up and said: "It is said that the Mirage Kingdom has started to build their coastal defenses half a year ago. In key areas, they have even built powerful three-dimensional defenses. These lines of defense will work."
The Mirage Kingdom also vigorously promoted that it was ready for war, and they tried to use this method to scare off the attack of the Tang Empire.
And they have indeed put a lot of effort into defense. They purchased all the materials they could, including cement and steel bars, and even things like artillery and tanks.
This caused Mirage to spend almost all the funds they had saved: a considerable part of which was earned by supporting the mercenaries of the Fengjiang rebels.
"Even if there is naval gun cover, it will not be easy for the landing troops to forcefully tear open the defense line. Although the Tang Empire has experience in projecting troops over long distances, that was more than ten years ago." Someone posted his own opinion.
view.
As Lions people, everyone in this room has no good impression of the Tang Empire. They are afraid of this behemoth, and at the same time they feel extremely guilty because of Bunas' incident.
In their view, the Tang Empire will recapture Bunas sooner or later, and the conflict between the Lines Empire and the Tang Empire is irreconcilable.
"They will suffer heavy losses. Even if the follow-up troops can go ashore and seize part of the area, they will be trapped in a bitter battle due to the lack of follow-up troops. I would say that the Tang Empire is overconfident in this action." Another person agreed with him.
views, and felt that the Mirage might win.
The official who had just returned to the office also nodded in agreement with this view: "Indeed, a fleet that has lost air superiority is fragile. No matter how many times we experiment, it will be difficult for a fleet without air cover to exert its combat effectiveness. Unless the Tang Empire has a way
Send the Butcher fighter jets to the Mirage Kingdom to join the war, otherwise they will definitely be defeated miserably."
Someone immediately laughed: "I am very interested in the disastrous defeat of the Tang Empire. Who doesn't want to see the arrogant Datang Empire suffer a defeat?"
"You're right. I also think it would be more beneficial for us if the Tang Empire suffered a disastrous defeat at Mirage." Others also laughed. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became more lively. Recently,
Everyone was so depressed, and we haven't had such a pleasant conversation for a long time.
Again, modern warfare requires huge amounts of supplies. The so-called stalls that intercept telegrams or decipher codes to confirm enemy movements are simply nonsense.
The real intelligence is not the bullshit document obtained by a nimble god of war who bravely broke into the enemy's headquarters and fought with two thousand guards to break open the safe. It is the summary and analysis of a lot of complex ordinary information.
If you want to know the strategic preparations of the Tang Empire, you only need to rent a house next to the train station and carefully check whether the various materials transported enter large ports such as Linshui Beiyuan.
In addition, the Tang Empire's army mobilization, the transportation of weapons and ammunition, the gathering of various ships, whether coal and heavy oil were transferred to Linshui East Bay and other directions...
As long as these data are obtained and analyzed together, we can roughly judge the extent of the Tang Empire's war preparations.
In addition, the merchants at the port only need help to see where the hundreds of destroyers and more than a dozen cruisers of the Tang Empire were finally replenished, and they can roughly guess where the main fleet of the Tang Empire has arrived.
