Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Takeda Hiroshi looked at the silent officers below, and he also lost interest in scolding them again.

"Instruct Mitsukazu Hirose of the Ninth Division to dispatch two brigades to cooperate with the Goryeo Twelfth Division to return to Dandong."

"Order the Koryo [-]nd and [-]th Divisions stationed in Pyongyang to immediately go north and cooperate with Hirose Mitsuwa to capture Dandong!"

"Tell him that Dandong is the key point of the empire. If Dandong cannot be recaptured, the entire battlefield outside the customs will be affected, and there will be a danger of destruction!"

"So, tell him to capture Dandong at all costs! If necessary, the offensive on the Liaozhou Peninsula can be postponed!"

"Hi!" Upon hearing Takeda Hiroyuki's words, many Sakura Country officers in the conference room stood up and bowed to salute Takeda Hiroyuki.

This time, after Lin Yi led the first division to seize Dandong, it was equivalent to punching Takeda Hiroyuki seven inches above his head.

Takeda Hiroshi was anxious at this time, so he dispatched three Koryo divisions, plus two brigades of the Sakura National Brigade.

The total number of everyone is about 9.5, nearly [-], ready to forcefully counterattack Dandong.

Because Lin Yi had previously asked Fang Xiao to be in charge of intelligence work.

And Fang Xiao also knew that Lin Yi now attached great importance to the Guanwai and Goryeo areas, so these two places were Fang Xiao's focus.

Although the time is still short and there is no way to penetrate into the top levels of Sakura Country and obtain very valuable information, Fang Zhong can still find out about ordinary military movements.

For example, right now, Takeda Hiroyuki had just given the order and Hirose Mitsukazu had just boarded the car, and the information about Sakura Country's movements was placed in front of Lin Yi's desk.

When Lin Yi saw this information, a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems Takeda Hiroshi is anxious." Lin Yi smiled contemptuously.

Lin Yi then handed the information to Xue Dingshan who was standing aside.

Xue Dingshan didn't say much. He took the information, glanced at it briefly, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity."

"What a good opportunity? This is not possible, right? There are more than [-] enemy troops attacking Dandong City right now."

"We only have 1.5 people now, and the opponent is almost five times as many as us. Can this be considered a good opportunity?" Zhao He said with great confusion after hearing what Xue Dingshan and Lin Yi said.

"Brother Xie, why isn't this a good opportunity? The more enemies come, the fewer enemies there will be in other areas, and the better we can achieve our strategic goals."

"Moreover, what you saw was ninety thousand people, but what I saw was only two brigades of enemy troops."

"Two brigades? How could it be?" Zhao Hearing Lin Yi's words, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Your Highness, what the prince means is that the Koreans are not considered human beings, they are just making up the numbers." Xue Dingshan said from the side.

"The Koreans do not have a high desire to fight and their morale is low. Once we withstand Hirose Mitsukazu's attack, the Koreans will not take the initiative to attack us."

"Last point, Your Highness, don't you think that as long as we defeat the Sakura Kingdom's attack, they will not have many troops to deploy in the Goryeo area and the entire outside area?"

When Zhao He heard Xue Dingshan's words, he was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at the map of the situation between the enemy and ourselves hanging on the wall. He suddenly realized that it was exactly what Xue Dingshan said.

Currently, the Sixth and Ninth Divisions of the Sakura Kingdom and the First and Third Divisions of the Koryo Servant Army are in the north, attacking the Northern Group Army of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

On the Liaozhou Peninsula, there are only the Fourth and Eighth Divisions, plus the Sixth and Twelfth Divisions of the Koryo Servant Army.

Now this counterattack is mainly based on the deployment of the [-]th Division, that is, the [-]th Division of Hirose Mitsukazu.

As for the Fourth Division, they were fighting a bloody battle with the Rakshasa Kingdom on the Liaozhou Peninsula and could not spare any troops.

If Mitsuwa Hirose is eliminated this time, then Hiroyuki Takeda has only two choices, either to give up the plan to attack Ussuriysk and Vladivostok later, or to mobilize troops from the mainland.

In addition, there are no available soldiers in the entire Goryeo area.

If you want to mobilize troops from the mainland, the Sakura Kingdom's fleet must first defeat the Rakshasa Kingdom's Baltic Combined Fleet, and then defeat Daxia's fleet.

But is this realistic?

Lin Yi thought it was impossible.

The Baltic Fleet of the Rakshasa Kingdom is not as strong as it is. There are four or five 6- to 7-thousand-ton ironclads alone.

You must know that the Yoshino, the main battleship of the Sakura Kingdom at this time, was only 4100 tons.

Therefore, the armored ships of the Rakshasa Kingdom are much larger than the battleships of the Sakura Kingdom.

However, the armored ships of the Rakshasa Kingdom are all old warships that have been in service for more than ten years, unlike the Yoshino, which are all new ships.

But if you underestimate the strength of the Baltic Fleet of the Rakshasa Kingdom because of this, you will definitely lose all your money.

Therefore, even though the Sakura Kingdom is strong, it is impossible for him to retreat unscathed from the Rakshasa Kingdom's Baltic Fleet.

And once its strength is damaged, it will be even more nonsense for Sakura Country to want to defeat Daxia's two battleships.

"Okay, brother Hei, this matter has been settled. Let the brothers do a good job in defense. According to the distance, reinforcements from the Sakura Kingdom will be arriving soon." Lin Yi looked at Zhao He and said .

"In addition, I sent a telegram to Zhang Yanyu to have his fifth division move to Dandong and prepare to cooperate with our troops to annihilate the invading enemies. On the other side of Shencheng, leave it to Zeng Shaoqing of the fourth division."

At the same time, while Lin Yi was determined to defend Dandong and defeat the invading enemy, he was in the Sakura Sea, three hundred nautical miles outside Vladivostok Military Port.

A large Sakura Kingdom fleet is heading towards Vladivostok.

On the flagship Yoshino, the rising sun flag of Sakura Country is fluttering in the wind.

Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro looked at the mighty battleships around him. His heart was filled with excitement. He felt that he was honored to be the commander of such a fleet.

"Yoshi, this is the supreme glory of the empire. Only our imperial navy is the glory of the empire. Those red deer in the army are simply a waste of the empire's funds." Togo Heihachiro looked at the sea in front of him, feeling extremely proud in his heart .

On the side, Yoichi Kawahara, as the most powerful captain of the Yoshino in the Sakura Empire, is expected to be promoted to rear admiral within this year.

By that time, he would be the youngest general in the Imperial Navy.

Of course, the premise is that Sakura Country can win a great victory in this naval battle.

In this regard, Heyuan Yaoyi is very confident.

According to the intelligence returned by the Sakura Kingdom spies lurking in Vladivostok, the Rakshasa Kingdom's Baltic Combined Fleet has now returned to the port for supplies.

Lieutenant General Rozhdestvinsky, commander of the Baltic Combined Fleet, has always believed that there is no need for the Rakshasa Kingdom's fleet to compete head-on with the Sakura Kingdom's fleet.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Daxia Kingdom has also begun to wage war against Sakura Kingdom.

Although Lieutenant General Rozhdestvensky did not believe that Daxia could defeat the Sakura Kingdom, it also greatly restrained the Sakura Kingdom's military strength.

As long as the Baltic Fleet remains undefeated, it can pose a threat to Sakura Country on the sea.

In this way, Sakura Kingdom will not be able to fully support the battlefield outside the pass.

Once the Sakura Kingdom faces the pincer attack from the Daxia and Rakshasa Kingdom armies and becomes exhausted, it will be time for the Rakshasa Kingdom to fight back.

As for the current situation in which the Rakshasa Kingdom is at a disadvantage, Lieutenant General Rozhdestvinsky said that it is not a problem at all.

As long as Ussuriysk and Vladivostok are still in the hands of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the Rakshasa Kingdom has not lost.

As for the casualties of the army, aren't they just some serfs who lost their land? There are as many such people as there are in the Rakshasa Kingdom.
