Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire
Chapter 380 The shrinking Rakshasa Empire
Officers at all levels who were already on the front line did not think there was anything wrong with Li Jinji's appointment as commander-in-chief of the Imperial Far East Army.
Even Zhang Yanyu is like this. After all, after Lin Yi confirmed that Li Jinji would be the commander-in-chief, he was worried that Zhang Yanyu would be arrogant and disobey Li Jinji's command, so he sent a special message to Zhang Yanyu.
But Lin Yi didn't know that Zhang Yanyu himself actually admired the veteran Li Jinji.
He was a horse bandit before, so he might not know much about the generals of the imperial military, but Zhang Yanyu had also heard of Li Jinji.
Later, he entered the martial arts hall for further study. In the martial arts hall, many battles were fought by Li Jinji.
For example, in the Battle of Annan between Daxia and Gaul, Li Jinji defeated the Gallic army with absolutely inferior equipment and annihilated more than [-] Gallic troops at the cost of [-] casualties.
Regardless of the relatively low number of casualties on both sides, it is important to understand the circumstances under which this battle was fought.
At that time, the empire needed the Sakura Empire, the Rakshasa Empire and the threat of the John Empire. The three countries kept putting pressure and coercion on the empire.
The empire itself was in dire straits and had no way to support it. Li Jinji defeated Gaul with local armed forces and broke Gaul's penetration into Guangxi Province.
This is a success in itself.
Of course, the Empire's subsequent performance was a bit disappointing, and even though it won, it also lost money.
However, this does not prevent Zhang Yanyu from admiring Li Jinji. Therefore, he was full of expectations for the opportunity to take orders under Li Jinji.
On January 1913, 1, Li Jinji took a train and arrived at Dongning, the frontline supply base. Zhang Yanyu and other generals who had arrived earlier greeted Li Jinji at the station.
When the car door opened, Li Jinji, who was relatively thin but with a warm expression, appeared at the door.
Seeing Li Jinji's thin figure, Zhang Yanyu immediately saluted Li Jinji.
"Welcome General Li!" Zhang Yanyu said to Li Jinji, looking straight ahead.
When Li Jinji saw Zhang Yanyu, a smile appeared on his face.
He lifted the windbreaker he was wearing with his hand, then walked to the platform and grabbed Zhang Yanyu's hand.
"General Zhang, Li has heard of the general's name for a long time. When I saw him today, he is indeed a strong general." Although Li Jinji is old, he is the commander of the Far East Army appointed by Lin Yi.
But he was not arrogant. If he took off his military uniform, he would look like an ordinary old man. Only the occasional flash of fortitude in his eyes proved that he was a decisive and decisive general.
He knew that he was the commander-in-chief, but he also understood Zhang Yanyu's identity.
Now in the entire empire, who doesn’t know that behind Long Xiang’s army is Prince Rui? And Prince Rui is very capable and very popular with the emperor?
Therefore, Li Jinji will not offend Zhang Yanyu for no reason.
Since Zhang Yanyu was polite to him, he would not fail to give Zhang Yanyu a good look.
As the saying goes, everyone carries the sedan chair, and in official circles, even if he is a soldier, he needs to pay attention to it.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Li Jinji couldn't help but wrap up his windbreaker.
When the attentive Zhang Yanyu saw Li Jinji like this, he realized that Li Jinji was already in his sixties and a southerner. He must not be able to bear the severe cold weather outside the customs.
As an outsider, Zhang Yanyu was used to this severe cold, so he didn't feel how cold it was.
So, Zhang Yanyu said to Li Jinji: "Sir, it's very cold outside. Let's go to the headquarters first. I will introduce the situation of the Far East Army to you."
Li Jinji also felt the severe cold outside the pass, and nodded after hearing Zhang Yanyu's words.
Seeing that Li Jinji agreed, Zhang Yanyu turned sideways and gave way.
Zhang Yanyu led Li Jinji into the car, and then quickly arrived at the headquarters of the Far Eastern Army.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Li Jinji's expression calmed down.
"Oh my, the weather outside the customs is really cold, isn't it?" Li Jinji was sitting in the combat command room. The fireplace in the room was very hot.
After regaining his composure, Li Jinji smiled at Zhang Yanyu and said.
"This is your first time coming to Guanwai. The weather here is like this. I think you will get used to it after a while." Zhang Yanyu also said with a smile.
"Let's talk about this later. Can General Zhang introduce me to the current situation of the Far East Army?" Li Jinji said to Zhang Yanyu with a smile.
Seeing that Li Jinji was getting down to business, Zhang Yanyu also looked solemn, and then walked straight to the map in the room.
Zhang Yanyu picked up a wooden stick, pointed at the map, and said: "Sir, our Far East Army is now all in place. It currently has 30 infantry divisions, two armored cavalry divisions, two flying brigades, and an airship. Brigade. A total of [-] people."
"The mission given to us by the military this time is to conquer the territory of the Rakshasa Empire, including the Twin Cities and Vladivostok."
"The Rakshasa Empire has deployed 25 divisions in the Far East, totaling 45 people."
"Strictly speaking, in terms of military strength alone, our army has an absolute advantage."
"But even so, this battle will not be easy for us, because through investigation, we found that the Rakshasa Empire has turned the Twin Cities into a permanent fortress."
"Although no specific data has been obtained, the Rakshasa Empire has built 20 large fortresses and countless small fortresses in the Twin Cities. There are also countless artillery pieces of various calibers inside. It is a difficult nut to crack."
"And the Rakshasa Empire has discovered our strategic intentions and has gathered all its forces in the Far East to the Twin Cities and Vladivostok. It has given up on other areas."
"That is to say, as long as we can capture the Twin Cities and Vladivostok, we can declare to the outside world that the Far East will belong to the empire. Vice versa, if we cannot capture it, even if we occupy other regions, we will still not be able to control the Far East. "
"So, your idea is that all the main forces will be concentrated in the Twin Cities and Vladivostok?" Li Jinji blurted out after listening to Zhang Yanyu's introduction.
"Yes, sir. I have discussed with other colleagues. Since the Rakshasa people want to fight us in the Twin Cities and Vladivostok, then naturally we cannot let them down." Zhang Yanyu answered directly after hearing Li Jinji's words.
"Well, you are right." Li Jinji saw that the Far Eastern Army wanted to fight the Rakshasa Empire in the Twin Cities, so he couldn't say anything.
Moreover, it was his idea to accomplish all the results in one battle.
The weather outside the customs was too cold, and the soldiers also suffered a large non-combat attrition while marching in the wild.
It may be difficult to besiege Vladivostok, but they are the active party. They have the final say when and how to attack.
Moreover, as far as the commander of the Rakshasa Empire is concerned, he abandoned all areas so early and concentrated all his forces in the Twin Cities. This in itself shows that the other party is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us, and wants to deceive the other party. Basically there is no such possibility.
Instead of doing some useless work, don't think about how to break this fortress.
