The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 745 Great Qin Will Win
"Chief of Staff, let the Shibo Division mark the positions of these primitive tribes on the sea area map later, and let them find a way to do it as soon as possible." Ran Wu thought for a moment and ordered decisively.

"Yes. The marshal suspects that the British have occupied these islands?" asked the chief of staff.

"It's not doubtful, it's almost certain now. The outposts sent by the British this time are to spy on our strength, and to open up forward bases for their follow-up main force. And these islands are obviously the most suitable targets. They The action has already begun. If we can't kill them all before their main force arrives, then things will be troublesome in the future."

Ran Wu spoke out his analysis in a deep voice.

All the generals came to their senses at this time, and they couldn't help looking at Ran Wu.

"The marshal's analysis is very likely. Then we can only send troops to search these islands one by one to clear the British stronghold." The chief of staff also looked serious.

"This is too inefficient. There are so many islands on the sea, we can't tell where the British are. We can only make a rough judgment based on the disappearance of those primitive tribes after the map of the sea area from the Shibo Division is sent."

"Even if we find out the stronghold of the British, our weapons are still inferior to the British. If we attack by force at that time, we will suffer a lot of casualties."

The generals also spoke at this time.

"Have you thought about a question?" Ran Wu asked again, scanning the generals.

Everyone fell silent, waiting for his next words.

"Where is the advance base of these British people? They can't come directly from the British mainland, right? According to the information we have so far, the British mainland is at least ten thousand miles away from our Great Qin. You believe they will come directly from the mainland." By boat? That's obviously impossible."

Ran Wuchen analyzed.

All the generals suddenly realized, and they all said: "What the marshal said is very true. According to the speed of their warships, there will be an advance base at least within [-] nautical miles. And to supply so many warships, there must be a considerable number of troops stationed on it." Soldiers, this prospect base will not be too small, it is very likely that it will be a small country occupied by the British."

"The British came here this time, and they definitely sent more troops than what we have seen so far. After all, the British suffered a big loss in our hands ten years ago. This time they will make a comeback, and they will definitely make adequate preparations, whether it is from weapons Ammunition, various materials, and even the number of troops will be quite large. This requires that the forward base should have sufficient capacity to support these British soldiers, and be able to bear the subsequent battle consumption.”

"Also, this forward base must not only bear the consumption of the current British advance troops, but also be able to bear the supply of the follow-up British main force, so it can be inferred that the location of this forward base will not be too remote, and the resources will not be too scarce , the population will not be too small, so that we can afford the requirements of the British. According to the conditions we analyzed above, it is not difficult to judge the location of this forward base."

After being inspired by Ran Wu, everyone had their brains wide open.

But the more everyone talked, the more they realized the seriousness of the matter.

With today's communication and transportation conditions, the British had been preparing for revenge against Daqin a few years ago.

The reason why they dare to appear in the Fusang Sea now is most likely because they feel that they are well prepared, so they will be targeted and provoked repeatedly.

Originally thought it was just a small-scale maritime provocation, but now it seems that this is simply another long-planned invasion by the British.

Everyone has realized this at this moment, and their faces have become dignified.

"Bring the map of the sea area!"

The two staff officers hurriedly hung a huge map of the sea area on the map shelf behind Ran Wu.

Ran Wu stepped forward to take a closer look, and the other generals also hurriedly got up and rushed forward.

The Daqin Navy has not been idle for so many years. In addition to daily training and extermination of pirates, they have surveyed and mapped the sea areas within thousands of miles around Daqin and Fusang.

Although due to limited conditions, the level of detail of surveying and mapping cannot be compared with the nautical charts of later generations, but it is enough to make people know what they are doing.

On the map of this sea area, the slightly larger islands within a thousand miles, as well as the surrounding countries, are marked.

There are also some small countries scattered in this sea area, all of which are island countries.There are millions of people with the largest population, and thousands of people with the smallest population.

Because these countries are too far away and relatively barren, Jiang Chuan has no interest in conquering these countries.

Many of these countries are still in a relatively ignorant and primitive state, and conquering them is very simple.But to allow them to provide Daqin with various resource bonuses, Daqin would have to pay a considerable construction price first.

Moreover, the distance is far away, and the risk of sea transportation is too high. Even if it is shipped, the cost is too high, which is really not worthwhile.

It now appears that the British obviously took a fancy to the geographical location of these island countries and used them as a springboard to invade Daqin.

With intentional calculation and unintentional calculation, the British made this move one step earlier.

Ran Wu moved his hand on the map of the sea area for a long while and finally clicked on three places. The staff officer at the side hurried over and circled the three places with charcoal pencils. Everyone's eyes were cast on these three places. Point.

"Look, generals, this is the country of Lions, this is the country of Java, and this is the country of Ryukyu. The smallest of these three island countries is the country of Lions, but it has the best geographical location. The land on the island is flat and the trees There are many, and there are several excellent natural deep-water ports. But the country of Java has many islands, and the aborigines on the island add up to one million people, and the population is the largest. The country of Ryukyu is the closest island country to Fusang, but the population Only tens of thousands."

The chief of staff pointed to the three points and introduced them to everyone.

In order to better coordinate the two armies and improve efficiency, the Navy has sent a squadron to station in the Fusang waters for a long time, accepting the dual command of the Navy Headquarters and the Liaodong Theater.

The Chief of Staff was born in the Imperial Military Academy of Daqin, he is a Confucianist, with extensive knowledge and strong analytical ability, so all this information is at his fingertips.

"Marshal Huiyan, these three island countries are indeed the forward bases that are most likely to be occupied by the British. But which one it is, we need further information confirmation." The chief of staff finally said.

"There is also a possibility that these three island countries are all occupied by the British." A Wehrmacht lieutenant general added.

Everyone took a deep breath, this possibility is not impossible.

If this is the case, then the British wolf ambitions are really not small, and they are almost stretching their claws to the door of the house.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Ran Wu suddenly laughed.

"It's just a little speculation, are you afraid? Don't say that the British have only occupied a few small countries. Even if they invade with a large army now, we can still make them go back in disgrace. The world was not peaceful ten years ago, and His Majesty can Their entire army was wiped out. Now that our Great Qin Kingdom is booming and our military strength is getting stronger, are you afraid instead?"

When Ran Wu scolded, all the generals were awe-inspiring, with expressions of shame appearing on their faces.

"Your Majesty has a good saying, attach importance to the enemy tactically, and despise the enemy strategically. The British dared to make a comeback this time only by relying on a few new weapons. If a war can be decided by a few so-called new weapons It's too childish."

Ran Wu turned around, his eyes swept across the crowd, his tone was calm, and his words revealed strong confidence and majesty.

"I might as well tell you that there has been news from your Majesty that our Daqin has also produced a new type of musket that can fire continuously, and it is more powerful than the British. Your Majesty is ordering the arsenal to speed up production, and it will be sent to Liaodong in a short time. , sent to Fusang to equip our army. As for the navy, our new warships are about to launch. They are also powered by machines, wrapped in iron armor, and the power of the artillery has also been greatly upgraded. Compared with the so-called new warships of the British, they are only stronger Not weak. Your Majesty promises that the first batch of new warships will be given priority to our Fuso Fleet."

After everyone was reprimanded by Ran Wu, they heard these two pieces of good news again, and the haze of the British taking the lead was swept away in an instant.

"Daqin will win!"

"Daqin will win!"

……

There was a sound of excitement in the big tent.
