Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Jinghai.

Jerry is currently staying in Lu Wuyou's office.

Since the establishment of Dong'an Kingdom, he, the manager, has also transformed into the biggest agent of Saxon Kingdom in Dong'an.

This is equivalent to changing from an original company member to a national civil servant, and the promotion is not insignificant.

Jerry himself knew that he was favored by the Saxon government members because he had been in the East for several years.

I am afraid that there are few in Saxon who are more familiar with the conditions of the East than him, so he was selected.

He was also very grateful for this, and in order to seize the opportunity, he took over his wife and children from Saxon.

Not just to show the MPs that he's dedicated, but also because he really feels safe here.

On the other hand, the Saxon Kingdom has been criticized by other Western countries these days for sending admirals to attend Su Yuan's enthronement ceremony, and the domestic situation is not very safe.

In comparison, Dong'an is more stable.

"Lu, you must be prepared." Jerry sat in front of Lu Wuyou and said worriedly, "The news from our country is that the Thirteen-Nation Alliance is about to take action!"

"Our Majesty already knows about this matter."

"How is it, are you sure?"

Seeing that Jerry was so worried, Lu Wuyou understood why.

Jerry's family is now in Jinghai, which is equivalent to being bound to Dong'an.

If Dong'an is good, he will be even better. If Dong'an loses to the Thirteen-Nation Alliance, then he probably won't end well.

"Don't worry, as long as the ships from the Thirteen Nations Alliance dare to cross the island chain from the east, we will launch an attack immediately." Lu Wuyou revealed a little bit of military arrangements.

Jerry was stunned for a moment: "Donglai Island Chain? What does this mean?"

Lu Wuyou smiled and said, "You'll know when you go back and look at the map."

Jerry left in a daze, and hurriedly found out the map to check after returning home.

Looking at it, he slapped his forehead suddenly: "So that's what it means!"

On the map, Dong'an occupies the central position, with Xiali and Dongwa to the east, and mountains to the west.The south end is Wenlai, and the north is the ice field.

In other words, if you want to attack Dong'an from the sea, you can only go to the East China Sea or the South China Sea.

As for the "Donglai Island Chain" mentioned by Lu Wuyou, Jerry thought it was "Dong'an-Wenlai" at first.

But after looking at the map, I realized that this island chain is actually "Eastern Japanese——Wenlai".

You must know that Dongwa has long been actually controlled by Dong'an, and a few days ago it directly announced that it had become a subsidiary state of the latter.

This means that all the troops of Dongwa are deployed, controlled and dispatched by Dong'an.

And Wenlai made a clear alliance with Dong'an. Therefore, from Dongwa to Wenlai, extending from east to south along the coastline of Dong'an, a long chain was formed between islands.

This long chain can be said to be a barrier, protecting the entire coastline of Dong'an Kingdom.

As long as this long chain is not broken, Dong'an itself will never be threatened.

"So that's how it is, it's amazing..."

Jerry looked at the map, and the more he looked at it, the more subtle it became.

He knows that there is no natural barrier in the island chain, it is just a fictitious concept, if there is no battleship defense, it can be broken through at any time.

But the concept of the island chain gave him a sense of subversion.

He believes that if it is made public, other Western countries with similar geographical environments will definitely try to establish an island chain with their allies.

Once the island chain is established and an international consensus is formed, it will bring invisible pressure to the enemy.

When the enemy wants to approach again, they have to weigh the danger that will be caused by entering the range of the island chain...

"Su Yuan has marked out the territory, just wait for the ship from the Thirteen Nations Alliance to come..."

Jerry had a schadenfreude smile on his face.

"Someone is going to be unlucky now, haha."

"Husband, why are you so happy?"

Seeing that Jerry was smiling, his wife asked curiously.

"Of course I should be happy! If the Thirteen-Nation Alliance loses this battle, the national strength will definitely be severely damaged. Then the Saxon country will be able to jump to the top... Our status will become more and more important."

"really?"

"Yeah." Jerry's eyes sparkled with longing, and his ambition was just around the corner.

"The stronger Dong'an is, the more important I will be as the person in charge. In the future, maybe I, a poor boy, can transform into a foreign minister."

……

"The Donglai Island Chain is just the first."

In Su Yuan's study, Zhou Shu and him sat around a long table with a map spread out on it.

Su Yuandao: "The purpose of this island chain is to protect our country. It can be said to be our bottom line. Any warship from other countries that enters this island chain will be regarded as a declaration of war against us."

"Well, so there will be a second one?"

"Not bad." Su Yuan took a long wooden stick and clicked on a location on the map.

That location is south of Wenlai, and it is a vast land.

"After the Thirteen-Nation Alliance is dealt with, the next step is to take the initiative to attack, and the target is here."

Zhou Shu looked at the land on the map, and said in a deep voice, "Xifeng Country..."

If you want to say that the one who hates Dong'an and Su Yuan the most in the overseas western countries is the Xifeng country.

This hatred is so deep that ordinary people may not understand why, but as long as a caring person takes a look at the map, he will immediately understand.

Xifeng Country is located in the south of Dong'an South China Sea, and it is a huge piece of land.

This land area is slightly larger than the land of Dong'an, but what is even more frightening is that there is only one country on this entire land, and that is Xifeng Country.

It can be said that Xifeng Country is a country that rules the entire continent where it is located, so its national strength is very strong.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If Xifeng Kingdom is far away from Dong'an, then the two sides may live in peace.

But because of the short distance, Xifeng Kingdom naturally hopes that this eastern country is a weak country, so that it will be convenient for him to plunder and absorb resources.

This was indeed the case in the previous Great Zhou, and Xifeng Kingdom received a lot of benefits.

But since Su Yuan from the Bei'an Army came out, everything has changed.

Xifeng Kingdom tried to help Da Zhou kill this rebellious force, but failed miserably.

Not only failed, but also humiliated.

The news of the killing of the sailors and sailors spread throughout the entire West Country, causing their prestige in the West Maple Kingdom to plummet.

Originally, the attitudes of many Xiguo juniors towards this elder brother have quietly changed.

For example, the Saxon country has always followed the lead of the Xifeng country.Now they are becoming more and more disobedient, and even openly defied the call of Xifeng Kingdom before, and sent people to attend Su Yuan's enthronement ceremony.

This is something Xifeng Kingdom cannot tolerate.

Especially after Su Yuan came to power, he attacked everywhere, taking down Dongbo and Nanyue again and again... As a result, there was no more barrier between Dong'an and Xifeng, leaving only a sea.

This made Xi Fengguo feel the danger.

Whether it is politicians or civilians, the whole country wants to curb the momentum of Dong'an.

In addition to beating other Xiguo brothers by the way, this coalition expedition has become extremely important.

But Su Yuan is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others.

Zhou Shu looked at the map, then looked up at Su Yuan: "After defeating the coalition forces, are you going to attack the mainland of Xifeng Kingdom?"

"Well. It's not rude to come and go. If they can beat us, we can naturally beat them. Not only fight, but also completely smash their territory!"

"I understand...if Xifeng Kingdom can be conquered, a second island chain can be established. From Dongwa to Xifeng, this island chain will be...offensive island chain."

Su Yuan glanced at her appreciatively: "You are right. Xun Yu and I also said the same."

Xun Yu, as a counselor in charge of formulating grand strategies, had discussed this matter with Su Yuan before.

If the goal is the whole world, Xifeng is a very crucial link.

Before taking down Xifeng Kingdom, Dong'an as a whole was on the defensive.After winning, once the second island chain is built, it can be attacked, retreated or defended, and the initiative is completely in its own hands.

In addition, Xun Yu also proposed to Su Yuan the strategy of using long distance and close attack.

After dealing with the Allied Forces of the Thirteen Nations, they can publicly declare that only the chief culprit, that is, Xifeng Country, will be held accountable.

At that time, Dong'an was going to send troops to Xifeng, and other Western countries were not easy to intervene, and they might not be willing to intervene, so Dong'an would be more confident.

Su Yuan naturally fully accepted these proposals, and also agreed with Xun Yu to arrange people to carry out preliminary work, and to send people to overseas western countries to negotiate and lobby.

It is a normal thing between the two countries to start a war while negotiating.Even if there is a deadly feud between the two countries, it is not uncommon for an envoy from one country to be entertained by a wealthy businessman or high-ranking official from another country.

This is the rule of the international community. Although Su Yuan does not necessarily have to abide by it, he is still very happy to use it to benefit himself.

"General Qi is also ready." Zhou Shu said, "Now there are more than [-] warships, all of which are self-developed steamships, and they are all equipped with the latest weapons and equipment from the Academy of Engineering."

Su Yuan nodded. Since the unification of the country, many materials needed by the Academy of Engineering have been met, and research on various mechanical creations can be accelerated.

It can be said that there is no need for Su Yuan to summon the army now, and the self-made ones are more than enough.

Of course, it is better to summon more if you can summon them.It's just that the few summons since the nuwa stone fragments were relatively ordinary, most of them were ordinary soldiers, so Su Yuan didn't pay much attention to them.

"I estimate that the coalition forces will come in a few days, let the troops get ready."

"You... that giant tortoise, can you also use it for fighting?" Zhou Shu obviously didn't forget that she once rode the Xuanwu that went down to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Of course. I'll let it play then."

Zhou Shu said with a smile: "That way I don't think we need to fight, the enemy will be scared to death."

"This is better." Su Yuan said.

a few days later.

As the news spread, countries all over the world paid great attention to this battle.

Everyone understands that it will determine whether the Eastern Empire will rise completely, or whether its great cause will be interrupted.

The people of all countries in the Confederate States look forward to victory.

And the requirement must be victory!

Because each of them bought a large amount of war bonds, if this war fails, they will be forever lost!
On the other hand, in Dong'an, although the common people were excited and wanted to beat the enemy hard, there was no war bond issued in the country.

Even under Su Yuan's initiative, most of the officials weakened the color of the war, and the mansion newspaper did not report full-page and full-page war-related content like the overseas Western countries.

Su Yuan didn't want the public to pay too much attention to this matter.

He just wants everyone to work and live normally. One day they may wake up and suddenly receive the news of the victory of the motherland. This is the happiest.
