Chapter 718 Strategy
Yadude Kingdom, the capital of Dilo City.

The royal palace, at the imperial military meeting.

"All the outer kingdoms have fallen, the first line of defense has collapsed, and our second line of defense has been exposed to the Legion of Light. It won't be long before the second line of defense will also be attacked by the Legion of Light."

"Your Excellency Wang Fu, should we send troops to support the 12 neighboring countries on the second line of defense? These neighboring countries are asking us for help, begging us to provide support!"

"Didn't 20 elite soldiers have been dispatched last month? Asking for help so soon?" A general was puzzled.

"Not enough. The Holy See has 1000 million troops. We have to send at least a million elite soldiers to make enough."

"But the regular army that the kingdom can use is only 200 million people, if half of them are taken out, isn't the defense force in the kingdom not enough?"

"Isn't there still 600 million second-line military forces?"

"Most of these forces are workers and farmers, lack of training, lack of discipline, difficult to be responsible." Earl Theon, who was in charge of training, shook his head.

"Then it's better to send these second-line troops there, and all the elite soldiers will stay in the country."

"This is even more unacceptable! The second line of defense can't last long, and the troops sent are just cannon fodder to die." Another minister shook his head.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, so what should I do?" An old earl frowned and shook his head.

"Your Majesty the Queen! Your Majesty the Prince!"

General Climans, who is in charge of the kingdom's military affairs, bowed to the first half and said: "Since we have made a strategy before, we must ensure that the war does not happen in the Yadude Kingdom, prevent the war from spreading to the kingdom, and try to fight with less loss. war on the outside line, so..."

He cupped his hands and said, "We still have to send another batch of reinforcements."

Zhou Ming nodded, and said: "General Climans is right, so how about sending another 30 elite troops and 50 second-line troops, a total of one million troops, to support the 12 neighbors on the second line of defense. country!"

"Even, if possible, we'd better be on the second line of defense, blocking the Legion of Light and keeping the enemy out of the country!"

War is divided into internal and external lines, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of fighting an internal war is that the supply line is short, it is easy to obtain supplies, more sufficient resources can be mobilized, and the advantages of familiar geographical location.

The disadvantage is that the war will cause huge damage to one's own infrastructure and war potential, and may cause traumatic property and personnel losses, which is equivalent to jackals and tigers entering one's own home.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of fighting on external lines are opposite to those of internal wars. The disadvantages of external wars are that it is not easy to supply, not very familiar with the geographical location, and few resources can be mobilized; the advantage is that there is less damage to the personnel and property of the country, and it will not seriously damage the country. war potential!
Undoubtedly, considering the huge destructive power of war, the high-level decision makers of any country certainly hope to fight an external war, keep the war away from the homeland, let the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment, and reduce the damage of the war to the country!

Of course Zhou Ming wanted to keep the enemy out of the country, but...

The Yadude Kingdom has only about 12 million regular legions, so there is no problem in defending its own borders, but if it goes to support 5 neighboring countries, even if each neighboring country supports an average of 12 elite soldiers, multiplying by 60, it is necessary to send [-] elite soldiers. Out of [-]% of the family property.

This has brought huge logistical pressure. Not to mention, each neighboring country has only 5 horses. Facing the Legion of Light that is ten times or twenty times the number, it is undoubtedly a matter of luck and probability to block this kind of offensive. Not very high.

It is also easy to bring about confusion in command and various troublesome problems.

The most important thing is that 2 elite troops scattered on the defense line with a defensive front of more than 60 miles cannot form an airtight defense network. Break through this defensive net... No matter how strong the firearms regiment of the Yadude Kingdom is, they cannot completely defend themselves.

If you want to fight an external war and keep the enemy out of the country, you must use all your cards and use a huge army that is close to the number of the Legion of Light to fight head-to-head with the Legion of Light on the second line of defense!
only……

The defense of the Yadude Kingdom is empty. Once there is a mistake in a certain direction or it cannot be resisted, let a certain unit of the Light Legion go straight in and attack the territory of the Yadude Kingdom...

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

So what should Zhou Ming do?
What strategy should the Kingdom of Yadude adopt to deal with this war?

After some discussion.

Zhou Ming and the others formulated a safe and secure battle plan that took into account the outside battle.

That is, the Great Wall on the border + the fortress of neighboring countries.

On the border of the Yadude Kingdom, build a tall Great Wall with a total length of more than 70 miles, allocate 50% of the troops and [-]% of the resources, and build an "impossible" Great Wall that will be breached.

Among the 12 neighboring countries around the Yadude Kingdom, 186 giant defensive fortresses were built on 186 important passes and battlegrounds, and 30% of the troops and 50% of the resources were allocated to become "nails" one after another. However, the Legion of Light wants to continue marching. If these nails are not pulled out, even if they can bypass them, they will feel uncomfortable, subject to various restrictions and constraints, and fall into embarrassment and passivity.

The 12 neighboring countries that constitute the second line of defense also each have some troops, among which there are as few as 20, and some as many as 100 to [-]...there are about [-] million regular troops in total.

Then recruit a large number of able-bodied farmers and mobilize them with all their strength, and the 12 neighboring kingdoms can gather a defense force of 300 million people... Of course, the fighting power and fighting will of these 300 million people must be mediocre, but give them 100% After being equipped with firearms, it should not be a big problem to resist the 1 million Bright Legion at a ratio of 1:300.

In addition to the 186 fortresses in these kingdoms, and the nearly 200 million Yadude Kingdom army...

The most conservative estimate is that there is no problem in blocking the 500 million Legion of Light!

In addition, in the offensive and defensive battle of the second line of defense, Zhou Ming completely let go of the authority to use strategic weapons.

That is to say, in the coming war, the secret weapons secretly developed by the Yadude Kingdom's military industry system, after nearly a year of mass production, can finally go on the battlefield and show their fierce fangs.

Give the Legion of Light a huge surprise!

And hearing this, the noble ministers who participated in the imperial meeting were all shocked!
Those few nobles who knew the situation of the strategic weapons showed ecstasy and applauded loudly!

"Our strategic weapon can finally debut!"

"Is there a lot of people? Do you want to do whatever you want? With these strategic weapons, I'm not afraid that you have a lot of people in the Bright Legion!"

"Not bad! Come and kill as many as you want!"

"In the face of these new weapons, how pious are the fanatics of the Holy See? With a bang, a paladin will be smashed to pieces!"

"I heard that our production of strategic weapons is enough to equip 100 million people. That's good, very good! With these weapons, even if the God of Light comes before me, I won't be afraid any more! Hehe, God, I'll shoot you!" The one who kills is the god!"

"Stable, after making all the arrangements and preparations, I just need to wait for the news of victory. If the situation is more optimistic, perhaps on the second line of defense, we can wipe out the Legion of Light! At that time..."

The nobleman's eyes sparkled and he said, "We are justice, we are light, we are rules, and we... are gods!"
