The demon world I designed.

Chapter 645 Dilemma!

"Lord, this is absolutely impossible!"

After the envoy from the Shenwu Guild left, Shen Qi was the first to raise objections.

Chen Qing looked at Shen Qi. It was the first time he saw him opposing so decisively. This guy has always been the type who likes to consider many aspects.

Shen Qi continued: "The name is not right. The Lord was granted the title by the imperial court and was the real vassal king. The north was invaded by real demons. Tens of billions of people in the north were killed and injured. Countless men in the north were killed in Shekou. It was a blood feud among the human race. At this time, if the emperor launches a spring crusade, whether it is to regain the territory or to avenge the men of the North, it will be justified. If we send troops, does the Lord know the consequences?"

Chen Qing silently touched his chin. This is indeed a big problem!
The foundation of Shinto-ryu is people, and since it is people-oriented, people's hearts are very important. Back then, he saved billions of people in the south of the Yangtze River from the demons, and that's how he gained his current unity and high prestige.

But if troops are sent to assist the North, the situation will be different.

Not to mention that there are one billion northerners in our territory. These northerners have lost their families and fled to foreign lands because of those giant pythons in the north. Once they know that they will send troops to aid the northerners, the already strong-willed northerners will probably directly Rebellion is possible.

Although it is easy to suppress, the people who have been loyal to the Fighting Army for a long time may no longer be there.

The same is true for the local people in Jiangnan. In the process of fighting against the Northland, the fighter army suffered more than [-] casualties. Most of them were the mainstay men of the family. Although there was a guarantee from the Yin Division, Yin and Yang were separated in the end. In the end, they risked their lives to go there. The monsters you fought against are now going to help them. What do you think of the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the front line?
All in all, it’s really not cost-effective!

But if they don't agree, these guild players will probably use all means to coerce themselves.

For example, by continuing to exert pressure in Beihai City, such as causing all kinds of turmoil among the believers in Beilang City, this situation is likely to completely destroy the stronghold in the north that was finally captured.

If we can't win this time, it will be even more troublesome in the future.
"What do you think we should do?" Chen Qing looked at Zi Yue and Shen Qi.

Shen Qi fell silent when faced with the problem. He was a smart man and naturally knew that if he refused, the current situation would be very difficult.

Ziyue said: "Mr. Shen Qi is right. Even if we encounter the worst situation, we cannot agree to openly protect the demons of the North. Otherwise, people will lose their hearts. Even if we can resist the Central Plains emperor, we will lose However, no amount of money can get it back."

"Then hold on?" Chen Qing frowned slightly.

"It's unrealistic to support forcefully." Ziyue still shook her head: "During your absence, I have been paying attention to military consumption. Although Jiangnan is rich, its population is far less than that of the recruitment areas like the North. Even though the willingness to join the army has been quite strong in recent years, fighters The size of the army has never exceeded one million, and most of them are miscellaneous soldiers and logistics troops. The number of truly trained combat soldiers, including the elites in the West Sea, is less than 50. However, wars have been frequent this year, and they have all been hard battles. In the battle in the southeast, Although the battle was beautiful, the losses were not small. A large number of first-class soldiers were lost, and the size of the Xihai elite was directly reduced by half."

"Xu Hu's fighting force is slightly more abundant, but it is still not enough. In the battle of Beihai City, the losses so far have exceeded [-], including the loss of more than [-] soldiers, and most of them are high-quality soldiers promoted to the third level or above. , our highest-quality soldiers have actually lost more than half."

Chen Qing was stunned. He had been busy recently and had not calculated the loss in detail. Now that Ziyue mentioned it, he realized that half of his family fortune had been lost?

The Fighter Army is progressing very fast. The soldiers who have been promoted to the third level in such a short period of time may be outstanding. If they are given more time to grow, they may be able to reach the extraordinary level within a year with their own resources, but the result will be lost. Half of it. Chen Qing suddenly felt distressed and trembling.

But there's nothing we can do about it. War is like this. It's impossible without losses and deaths.
Shen Qi also said: "The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is long and narrow. Facing the Central Plains, there are not many dangerous places at all. If the two sides are evenly matched, what is needed is a large number of soldiers to deploy defenses in various places. When Xu Hu went to Beihai, all of us calculated that, Facing the giant python in the north, we need at least elite soldiers of level four or above. If we go any lower, we will die. And such elite soldiers are also needed for the Jiangnan defense line. The most he can bring out is only one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand The soldiers who can capture Beihai City and hold on for such a long time are already rare and handsome."

"One hundred thousand." Chen Qing's mouth twitched slightly. After saying this, including losses, Xu Hu actually only has [-] soldiers at his disposal now?
Am I going to send troops like this?

In the past, I only heard that money will be used only when it is used, but it turns out that soldiers are like this now?
He calculated the current total strength in his mind. He didn't want to think about the elites in the West Sea. He also wanted to maintain the stability of the islands in the West Sea and maintain the current southeast. Tian Heng could guarantee that he would not ask for help.

The Jiangnan defense line cannot be moved. Although the imperial court has now shrunk its power, the ghost soldiers have the advantage that they do not need logistics and their advance is extremely fast. One day, a surprise attack from the sky is very possible if the border defense line is not enough. Got exploited.

And even if the Xiao family member doesn't have Jiangnan's idea, a large number of refugees want to come to Jiangnan for refuge now, and there are countless demons mixed among them. If there are not enough manpower to set up defenses in the border area, a large number of demons will be mixed into Jiangnan, and internal unrest will be even more likely. Affects Shinto luck.

Basically it can be said that there are no more troops to deploy.

There are no soldiers to mobilize, and Xu Hu only has [-] warriors in his hands. If the guild players exert pressure, they may be defeated.

Or the pace is too big?
Chen Qing sighed slightly in his heart. He also knew that if you take too big a step, it will be easy to lose track. Jiangnan has only been developing for five years. Even if the development speed of the Shinto stream is extremely exaggerated, with the current foundation, it is obviously not feasible to plot both the southeast and the north. Reality.

But he was really reluctant to give up the Northland.

After all, so many soldiers died. After all, the Arctic line will be extremely profitable in the future, and it will also be the best place for blood supply in the future.

Once you give up
"Looking at it now, we have to either give up or delay."

"Procrastinate?" Ziyue looked at Chen Qing: "Why don't you give up?"

"Why give up?" Chen Qing frowned: "With so many people killed and injured in Beihai, Beihai City must not give up. But if the road to Beihuang cannot be opened, Beihai City will be an infinite blood pit without any reward. You risked so much to finally get the little emperor of Beiyan to agree to join us. If we can't gain a foothold here, what will the world think of us? Will there be any forces that take the initiative to be loyal to us in the future?"

The two frowned, obviously knowing this truth. To be honest, Ziyue, who personally controlled the situation in Northern Wolf City, naturally did not want to waste all her efforts.

"How are you going to drag it?"

"I'll go there myself!" Chen Qing stood up directly: "Go and have a good talk with those so-called evil dragons!"
