Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

On February 2th, the seventh year of Tianxuan, after a week of unhurried marching, Qu Mao finally brought 7 fifth-tier court guards to the other side of the inverted U-shaped area of ​​the Eastern Continent, where Zhen Fu and Hua Tielan received them together. Qu Mao.

Qu Mao rested in the marching tent for a while before talking to Zhen Fu and Hua Tielan in the marching tent.

Perhaps because Zhen Fu and Hua Tielan's grades were not outstanding, when they saw Qu Mao, they lowered their heads and were not very interested.

Qu Mao was not at all polite, and asked, "Zhen Fu, I heard that after the six-year year-end summary meeting of Tianxuan, the diplomatic achievements of you and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this side of the inverted U-shaped area of ​​the entire Eastern Continent are extremely impressive." Limited, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Zhen Fu said with a bitter face: "My lord, you don't know, when the army soldiers we withdrew from the battlefield of the kingdom went to the eastern peninsula battlefield in the bay of the east mainland to reinforce, diplomatic activities began to become difficult.

Especially after the army soldiers who returned from injury on the Kingdom battlefield rushed to help the Peninsula battlefield, the subordinates did not even dare to continue to send foreign ministry officials, because our army strength in this area is simply not enough to intimidate other forces to guarantee our Personal safety of diplomatic officials.

Your Excellency, you also know that the so-called diplomatic victory of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs basically has a major premise, that is, our military strength is sufficient to deter our target forces, and only then can we achieve diplomatic success. "

Qu Mao nodded, glanced at Hua Tielan, and asked, "Hua Tielan, the army has a total strength of more than 2000 million troops, so it won't be possible to have no troops at all after reinforcing the 300 million soldiers on the eastern peninsula battlefield in the Gulf of the Eastern Continent, right?"

Hua Tielan was even more aggrieved than Zhen Fu, and said: "My lord, before the end of the Kingdom Battlefield, you assigned the army troops on the Kingdom Battlefield.

At that time, it was said that we would assist 200 million soldiers in the eastern peninsula battlefield of the eastern mainland bay, but in fact we have now sent 300 million army soldiers to the eastern peninsula battlefield of the eastern mainland bay.

One million troops were added to the border confronting the Mughal Empire, one million troops were added to the border of the Dali Kingdom, and one million army soldiers preparing to confront the Principality of Pengda also went to the battlefield.

The subordinates are basically the bare commander who came to this end of the inverted U-shaped area. Although the army has a total number of 2000 million, after such a long battle, the army soldiers who were injured, retired due to injuries, died in battle, and were divided into the firearms army. Army fighters who are active in the confrontational borders and on the peninsula battlefield, etc., the army strength here is already stretched, and they can't even deter the hostile forces.

The subordinate said bluntly, our Yigong Territory Army in this area is basically in a state of no soldiers available..."

Listening to Hua Tielan's endless complaints, Qu Mao frowned, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the small table in the marching tent, and said softly: "Zhen Fu, Hua Tielan, there is no other way? Even if we want to overcome difficulties, we have to make certain achievements.

Otherwise, how long will we have to waste in the Eastern Continent before we can completely take it down? "

Zhen Fu said: "My lord, my subordinates believe that the fact that there have been no new achievements in the inverted U-shaped area of ​​the Eastern Continent is not due to the dereliction of duty of my subordinates and Hua Tielan, but the fact that the situation is really complicated.

Tracing back to the source, the subordinates believe that the heroes of our Yigong territory are very diligent and serious. The reason for the current situation is that our Yigong territory is expanding too fast.

Frankly speaking, the subordinates think that our Yi Gong territory can no longer digest the results of our war. "

Hua Tielan also interjected: "My lord, although the Eastern Continent is not as big as the other four main continents, it is still a serious main continent. In the past, hundreds of forces still existed.

Now there are very few independent forces left in the Eastern Continent, and the reason for the current situation, although some factors of the Pengda Principality are in it, but more of it is the result of the hard work of our Yi Gong territory.

According to the total population of our Yigong territory, even if we raise 10 billion soldiers, it is reasonable, but please take a look, our army, navy, garrison army, imperial guard army, magic army and firearms army add up to 5 million Are you a soldier?
What's more, our navy accounts for almost half of all troops. What we usually refer to as the military-to-civilian ratio generally only refers to the army.

Therefore, my lord, my subordinates think that the territory occupied by our Yi Gong Territory is getting bigger and bigger, but our military strength is already in a state of serious shortage.

But at such a critical moment, your lord does not allow us to continue to expand our troops, so it is normal to have no soldiers available now..."

Qu Mao decisively interrupted Hua Tielan, saying: "Hua Tielan, you don't need to persuade me, the number of troops will definitely not increase.

If there is a shortage of troops in the army, you can find a way to mobilize them from Mo Yangqiao, Zhao Pan, Wang Ping, Sir Mrak Yan Liang, Zhang Xu, Xu Tan, etc., or you can urge Zhang Da to send excellent and outstanding troops to the army. Garrison fighters are advanced to Army fighters, but we will certainly not be re-expanding the Army's high-ranking fighter units.

Alas, you find a way to squeeze 50 army soldiers from the border confrontation forces to come here. "

Zhen Fu said: "My lord, the 50 army can indeed ensure that we have sufficient deterrence, but it is only limited to protecting the personal safety of our diplomats on missions. It may be difficult to go further..."

Qu Mao said angrily: "Zhen Fu, the core strategy in this area is to conduct diplomatic deterrence, take down all the aboriginal forces in this area with the fastest speed and at the lowest price, and make them surrender unconditionally.

Only when this area is settled down, can we concentrate on dealing with Pengda Principality, Dali Kingdom and Mughal Empire.

Otherwise, we are very likely to face the East Continent Bay, the Eastern Peninsula battlefield, and the battle between the Pengda Principality, the Dali Kingdom, and the Mughal Empire will start again. If this area becomes unstable, we may have to deal with five wars at the same time. On the battlefield..."

Hua Tielan scratched her hair in pain, and said, "My lord, my subordinates should try their best to find a way."

Qu Mao sighed, his attitude eased a lot, and said: "Hua Tielan, each border has its own opposing army strength. After the Kingdom Battlefield is over, what we will increase for each border is only the army strength on the Kingdom Battlefield. They The opposing army's strength did not move.

Therefore, I think it shouldn't be a big problem to send their original army here. "

Hua Tielan said: "My lord, what you said makes sense, my subordinates should try their best and send troops here as soon as possible."

Qu Mao said: "I will stay here for a few days, and then go to Tassel Kingdom."
