The king of the Nanda Dynasty looked at the people around him and asked doubtfully.
The last expedition to India ended in failure.
And it was a complete failure. According to the general's report, it was because they suffered a trap from Da Qin.
But after all, these are just their words. The truth of the matter has not yet been investigated clearly.
It's not that King Nanda doesn't trust his generals, it's just that he thinks this matter is a bit strange.
With the strength of the Indian army, even if the enemy has an ambush, it should not be completely defeated.
After all, the military capabilities of the Nanda Dynasty have been verified long ago.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight out of the chaos of the Eighteen Kingdoms and become the master of this land.
The power of the Nanda dynasty is obvious to all. How could it fail completely just because it encountered some traps?
Such rhetoric is really unconvincing.
According to the description in the returned general, they almost defeated the Qin army despite encountering traps and ambush.
If this report is true, then it is possible to regroup more troops and directly annihilate Da Qin.
But if there are still variables, all this will be unknowable.
What King Nanda is worried about at this moment is the unknown variables.
Although they are powerful, they are still too far away from Da Qin.
Not to mention anything else, just arriving at the Lingnan port of Daqin from India is already very difficult.
Along the way, the consumption of various materials alone is an astronomical figure.
If Da Qin is really weak, then it's okay to say that as long as we can capture Da Qin's land, all this will be worth it.
But if Da Qin is not as weak as it seems on the surface, and they fail again, then it is not just a matter of material loss.
But when King Nanda raised this question, a minister in white beside him slapped the table and said:
"If we don't send troops, wouldn't the soldiers of my dynasty die in vain?"
The minister who spoke was the most powerful person in the Nanda Dynasty. As soon as he spoke, six of the ten people next to him immediately bowed their heads.
They made it clear that they wanted to support the minister who spoke.
But not everyone supports him.
A minister sitting directly opposite him began to retort without waiting for King Nanda to speak.
"The king's worry is not unreasonable. If this is the enemy's plan, then sending out all the troops of our dynasty will be self-destruction. Can you afford it then?"
This minister in black is also a high-ranking person, but it can be seen from the status of the people on the table that his power is not as powerful as the person who just spoke.
But even if it is weak, it is not much weaker.
The white-clothed minister glared at his old rival and sneered, "Then if you don't bear the responsibility of insulting the reputation of the dynasty, can you afford it?"
The two started arguing on the huge conference table.
At this moment, King Nanda seemed to be in vain, and could only watch the two people arguing in front of him.
As for the rest of the people, they did not dare to speak, but each supported their leader.
From time to time, they also cast their eyes on King Nanda who was on the throne.
There is more or less bitterness in their hearts at this time.
The king in front of him is still respected as a king by everyone, even though he is superficially respected.
But if you want to compare with the previous king of Nanda Dynasty, the difference is not even a little bit worse.
Needless to say, he is talented, but the current King Nanda is too young and has very little experience.
Although he has taken the position of king, he is just like a puppet in this treacherous political abyss.
His own abilities are not strong enough, and his ministers are too strong. This is the political situation of the Nanda dynasty today.
In other words, in fact, the ability of King Nanda could not support such a dynasty at all.
So the scene before us appears. In fact, it is the people and ministers who have the final say on how national affairs should be carried out.
Although on the surface it was the king who made the decision, in fact he only had a very small part of the power to deal with these matters.
As for the final decision-making power, that's a joke.
If he wants to object, he has absolutely no way to object.
In the end, King Nanda's words had no effect, and India decided to send troops to conquer Qin again.
When the Indian army was gathering.
Da Qin's army was not idle either.
Because Yingyu had decided to go on the expedition in advance, all actions were advanced.
Yingyu's plan was to send out all the support troops sent to Africa, as well as the soldiers attacking India, without wasting any time.
The choice to lead the army was Meng Tian.
Ying Yu's intention was very clear, which was to let Meng Tian lead the army and directly complete the crushing.
Defeat India as quickly as possible and seize this springboard for Qin to attack the world.
After receiving Ying Yu's transfer order, Meng Tian was also quite shocked.
This time we are going to fight an entire country, and this country is definitely not weak.
As for how strong they are, it's according to Meng Tian's estimation.
If the Qin Dynasty is still at the level of its newly unified state and wants to compete with a big country like India, it's really hard to say who will win and who will lose.
If the Indian army comes towards Da Qin, the battlefield will be closer to Da Qin.
Da Qin has greater confidence in defeating them.
But on the other hand, if Great Qin takes the initiative to attack them, the winning rate will be very small.
The victory or defeat of this kind of war is affected by many factors.
Among them, the biggest impact is on the transshipment of grain and grass baggage.
Such a battle across many seas requires extremely particular transportation of supplies such as grain, grass, and supplies.
Once there is a problem in any of these links, the entire army will face disaster.
Therefore, in such a war, there is actually a risk to be borne before victory or defeat.
This risk may be a disaster for the entire army, and it is absolutely impossible not to consider it.
Therefore, if it were the Great Qin in the past, such a war would never have been possible.
But now, it's different.
Da Qin's ships that transport grain and grass can transport supplies smoothly even if there is no wind.
Fighting equipment for soldiers, gunpowder for heavy guns on ships, rubber barrels for transporting grain and clean water, all these things are added together.
It has put Da Qin's fleet in an absolutely invincible state.
It can be said that without the same technology, no matter what enemy they face, they have no chance of victory.
This is absolutely certain.
Therefore, Meng Tian is not worried about any accidents in this war.
