One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army

When Luo Ya raised his eyes, he found that the atmosphere around him had become unusually solemn, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "What's wrong? Are you scared by the admiral and the Demon Slayer Order?"

"Sir Roya, Chen Maohai asked, are you sure that General Marco will trap the Beasts Pirates?"

Roya's laughter seemed to bring a glimmer of confidence to everyone, including Fujitora, Green and others. The navy's threats could not shake them, but whenever Roya frowned, they felt the dawn of victory dim. However, Roya's relaxed attitude ignited their hope again.

"Why do we have no chance of winning?" Luo Ya asked with a smile, "In my opinion, the navy's huge army is just a paper tiger and can't withstand a single blow."

"Mr. Roja, you may not understand the strength of the Navy Headquarters' elites. The navy we faced in the Kingdom of Rufni back then is not comparable to the combat power of this time."

"Don't fight like you did in the Kingdom of Rufni," he warned, "it will only lead to serious consequences."

He was worried that Roya lacked experience because the war in the Kingdom of Rufni had made him underestimate the navy's actions this time, which would lead to a big mistake.

"Mr. Nagli, you should read my theory of war more when you have time. Don't stick to dogma. How could I copy the experience of the Kingdom of Rufni to Frevans?" Roya said with a smile, then turned to the wall and took out a huge sea chart.

The details of this sea map vary. The detailed part is the areas that Roya's revolutionary army has passed through, such as the area around Frevans, the area around the Kingdom of Rufni, and the route that Crow and his team took to the Far North Kingdom. Together with some simple sea maps on the market, this panoramic view of the North Sea was pieced together.

Standing in front of the North Sea map, Luo Ya looked at everyone and said helplessly: "You guys are still in the same old habit. You always like to copy past victories. You say no, but when you encounter difficulties, you always want to copy the same thing."

Roya picked up a pen and drew a line from the Red Earth Continent to Frevans. "This is basically the navy's route."

"They have more than 30,000 elite soldiers, whose quality and combat experience are superior to ours, at least 20 large warships and dozens of small warships."

"Even if our warships are superior to theirs, we are still outnumbered, not to mention their admirals and vice admirals. They may launch a fierce counterattack at any time."

"What about us? We only have 15 paddle-wheel warships and 10,000 available troops. Even if the base fleet reinforces, it will only increase the number of troops by 10,000, more than 20 paddle-wheel warships." Luo Ya continued, "We still have some troops in the Far North. Although there are no paddle-wheel warships, there are a large number of merchant ships that can be converted into warships, about 30,000 available troops. However, their combat experience and quality..."

"It's too far from Frefans. It's almost impossible to get there before the navy arrives. Even if we can get there, we won't be able to compete with the navy."

"Mr. Roya, your analysis makes me despair." Ivankov said with a wry smile.

Comparing the military strength of both sides, they clearly realized that although the Revolutionary Army was not weak, it started too late, and there was a clear gap compared with the elite navy.

According to Roya's analysis, when the navy arrived at Frevans, they had at most 20,000 troops and three or four warships, and they were far behind the navy in terms of mid- and high-level combat capabilities.

The same is true for the quality of basic soldiers. The elite soldiers of the navy are more than enough to deal with three or five of their worker slave soldiers, not to mention the captain and colonel officers.

The deeper they analyzed, the more they felt that this was a war that was almost impossible to win, for both the Revolutionary Army and Frevans.

"Your understanding of war is too superficial." Luo Ya said helplessly.

"Don't just focus on one island or one place. War requires flexibility, a broad perspective, and a global perspective. Only by understanding the overall situation can we make better use of the local situation."

"Frevans is not the whole war. The whole North Sea is the whole war. Frevans is only a part of the North Sea war."

Luo Ya took a sip of water, then drew a circle next to a small island on the map and pointed at it, saying, "This is Frevans. The current situation is that the enemy has a large number of troops and is trying to besiege us in Frevans and use their numerical advantage to destroy us in one fell swoop."

"Your problem is that you always think in a reactive way, as if we have to defend Frefans, why can't we take the initiative?"

Luo Ya's words stunned everyone. They were actually considering taking the initiative to attack and face an enemy with superior forces?

"Sir Luo Ya, could you explain it more clearly?" Long asked anxiously.

He seemed to have some understanding, but found it difficult to express it, as if his thoughts jumped out but he could not provide a specific solution, which made him feel scratching his head.

"To put it simply, we won't fight positional warfare or decisive battles. We can't be led by them. They want to destroy us in a decisive battle, but we won't follow their tactics." Luo Ya picked up the pen and said, "If they want to fight positional warfare, we will fight mobile warfare. If they concentrate their forces, we will disperse them and fight guerrilla warfare. We will mobilize their forces and make them follow us."

"They have a large number of troops and strong hard power, so we should avoid their sharp edge and play to our advantages. Our advantages are that our warships have fast sailing speeds and our troops are highly mobile."

"My teacher once taught me the essence of guerrilla warfare: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue." Roya stood in front of the map and said excitedly, "In this war, we will use a lot of mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare to force the enemy to disperse its forces and expand the battlefield from Frefans to the entire North Sea, making the enemy's concentrated forces a laughing stock. After the troops are dispersed, we will use our high mobility to concentrate our superior forces and eliminate them one by one."

"This means turning a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign into multiple small-scale encirclement and suppression campaigns against the enemy, and turning a strategic weakness into a campaign strength."

“The key to making a strategically powerful enemy weak in a small-scale battle, turning our strategic disadvantage into a campaign advantage, turning disadvantage into advantage, turning the weak into the strong, and turning passivity into initiative, lies in the application of strategy.”

"That's why I say the navy is a paper tiger. They use outdated tactics and are arrogant. We use advanced tactics, so why can't we win?" Luo Ya smiled and looked at everyone, and finally said, "In my opinion, the navy seems strong, but it is not. The admirals of the navy are like the central cannon, with great deterrence, but they cannot be mobilized."

"Large-caliber cannons are powerful and very deadly when concentrated together, but they are inadequate when dispersed. We dismantled these emplacements one by one, and in the end only the central cannon, the General, was left, and it was useless."

After Roya finished speaking, the room was silent. Fujitora and the others seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Different from the crushing battles of the Goa Kingdom and the simple tactics of the Rufni Kingdom, the mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare proposed by Roya were undoubtedly more complex and more advanced, and they were shocked just by hearing about them.

"Is this tactic really feasible?" Nagli swallowed and couldn't help asking.

"Why not?" Luo Ya smiled.

"What if they don't engage us head-on and attack Frevans directly?" Fujitora asked.

"Since we are going to mobilize the enemy, we have to attack the places they have to guard against." Luo Ya said with a smile, "We can use a small-scale mobile fleet to harass them along the way to attract their attention and reduce their attention to Frevans."

"At the same time, arrange other fleets to attack the enemy's weak points."

"For example, here, here, and here." Luo Ya pointed at several places on the map. "These are all branch bases of the navy. They have a certain number of troops. They have been transferred once when we were in the Kingdom of Rufni. Now both the number of warships and soldiers have been reduced."

"A small-scale feint attack to attract the navy to rescue."

"And here." Roya pointed to the Kingdom of Lubuni. "This resource-rich country has just experienced unrest. If we attack again, won't the main force of the navy come to rescue us when they are so close?"

“When the army came to attack, we retreated in advance;
