"You don't have to waste your efforts." Nimitz's attitude was very firm.
Ouyang Shuo laughed. "Don't you want to see the 'culprit' who defeated the freedom fleet?"
Nimitz was taken aback. He was fooled as expected. "Are you talking about submarines?"
"To be precise, magic-powered submarines. There is no other." As mentioned before, Nimitz was a submarine expert before he became an Admiral.
Nimitz couldn't help but be curious about magic-powered submarines.
"I won't force you if you don't want to serve in the Xia Navy. In addition to the active fleet, Xia also has a naval academy. If you agree to be the chief instructor of the naval academy, I will allow you to participate in the construction of magic-powered submarines and even the modification work. How about it? "Ouyang Shuo proposed the terms.
In history, Nimitz had served as an instructor in many schools. If he entered the naval academy, he would definitely have a place to use his skills. It would also be a blessing for the Xia Navy.
Nimitz was indeed tempted.
There was no exchange of prisoners of war or release of prisoners of war in the game world. Once captured, they would either be secretly executed or kept in custody until the end of the game.
Either way, it was not what Nimitz wanted.
It wasn't easy for him to be reborn in the game world. How could Nimitz be willing to be mediocre?!
"Okay, I promise you!"
Nimitz was a very decisive person. He didn't have the subtlety of the Easterners and spoke straightforwardly.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and was in a good mood.
…
November 4th, Xia Palace, Martial Heroic Hall.
Ouyang Shuo gathered all the ministers and held a military conference to discuss the specific deployment for the battle of Luzon.
The Minister on Duty of the Grand Council and Commander of the Dragon Stallion Army, Bai Qi, Military Minister Du Ruhui, Commander-In-Chief of the Navy Zheng He, Commander of the Imperial Guard Huo Qubing, Commander of the City Guard Shi Wansui, Commander of the Hanoi Army Xue Rengui, Commander of the Imperial Fleet Zhou Yu, Commander of the Cliff Mountain Fleet Yu Dayou, and Commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet Smoke Fiendcelestial.
Grand Secretary Jia Xu of the Cabinet of Advisors was present at the military conference.
"The battle of Luzon involves Luzon, Java, and the Australian region. They are entangled with each other and are very powerful. Do you have any good suggestions on how to take down Luzon?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
The biggest headache was still Java.
This region wasn't that important in real life, but in the game world, with the shocking number of 20 million players, it was doing very well. It was already the overlord of Asia, and it was feared by others.
Lu Song himself was not weak, and with the two added together, the situation became even more difficult.
Had it not been for Ouyang Shuo using the gap after the Kingdom War as a cover to occupy a city in Luzon City and establish the teleportation array in advance to obtain a forward operating base, the battle at Luzon City would have been impossible.
Even so, this battle could not be dragged on any longer.
With the rise of Facebook, there was bound to be a global reshuffle.
Under such a changing backdrop, Great Xia could temporarily give in to Europe, America, and the African continent, but in the Asian battlefield, not only could Great Xia not retreat, but they had to speed up the pace of annexation.
"We have to take control of the ASEAN region before P becomes powerful." This was Great Xia's strategy.
It was precisely because this battle would not be easy to fight, but it had to be fought that Ouyang Shuo had gathered his strongest forces to deal with it. He estimated that the forces participating would include the Imperial Guard, the City Guard, the Dragon Stallion Army, the Hanoi Army, and the three fleets.
It could already be considered a small-scale war that could topple a nation.
The first to express his opinion was Jia Xu, who had been chosen as the strategist for this battle. "Regardless of whether it is Luzon or Java, both have one thing in common, and that is that they are made up of many islands. This is both their advantage and one of the breakthroughs of our army. The battle of Annan and the battle of Japan have proven that attacking from multiple points is a very effective tactic against such island countries, and we can continue to use it. "
All the generals were deeply in agreement. This was a general strategy.
"Next is how to defend against Java's reinforcements." Jia Xu continued, "According to the rules of the war, the reinforcements from Java can only come from their territory. They can teleport or travel by sea."
At this point, Navy Commander-In-Chief Zheng He interrupted, "The Cliff Mountain Fleet can implement a naval blockade in the Sulawesi Sea between Luzon and Java, cutting off the possibility of reinforcements from the sea."
Both the Luzon and Java fleets had suffered heavy losses from the Great Xia fleet and had yet to recover. Even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for the Great Xia fleet.
This was why Zheng He was full of confidence.
Jia Xu nodded and said with a smile, "Then the only way left is to teleport."
Luzon's territorial city, Iluo City, was built in the Visayan Islands in the middle of Luzon. If the Java territorial army participated in the war from the beginning, it meant that there would be two main battlefields in Luzon.
One was Luzon Island, where the royal city of City M was located, and the other was the Visayan Islands, where Iluo City was located.
"In order to reduce variables, it is best to attack Iluo City first and cut off the possibility of Java's subsequent reinforcements. Then, we can capture the royal city of City M in one fell swoop," Jia Xu suggested.
Attacking Iluo City was no easier than attacking City M.
City M was guarded by 800,000 imperial guards, while Iluo City was guarded by 400,000 territorial troops. Java was even more terrifying, with millions of territorial troops.
Whether Iluo City would be easy to attack depended on how determined Wuis, the Lord of Java, could be.
The only good news was that in the previous battle of Lavag, the Dragon Stallion Army led by Bai Qi had wiped out more than 100,000 troops of the Luzon territorial army in one fell swoop, weakening the foundation of Iluo City to a certain extent.
Bai Qi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Fighting on two fronts, there are too many variables."
Hearing this, Jia Xu didn't have a good plan for the time being.
Ouyang Shuo frowned and said, "Since Java is the biggest variable in this war, we have to think of a way to suppress this variable to the minimum. Our vision should also not be limited to the battlefield of Luzon."
A war that could topple a country could not tolerate too many variables.
Especially in the case of aggressive P, Great Xia had to capture Luzon at the lowest cost. If both sides were to suffer in the end, even if Luzon was captured, Jack and the others would only be able to reap the benefits.
In terms of specific tactical arrangements, Jia Xu and the others were naturally better at it, but Ouyang Shuo's strategic vision was something that none of them could compare to.
Seeing that the military discussion had fallen into a deadlock, Ouyang Shuo spoke up.
Everyone present was an extremely intelligent person, so they understood immediately. Jia Xu was the first to react. He said, "Does His Majesty mean to put Luzon and Java under the same framework and combine them into one?"
"Not only Java, but also the Australian region. This region that we have forced into a dead end also has 100,000 territorial troops. Who can guarantee that they won't stake everything on one throw? "Ouyang Shuo reminded.
