Chapter 1052: 1053 Nervous Eastern Continent
Chapter 1052 Chapter 1053 The tense Eastern Continent
The intelligence department of the Lions Empire has been busy recently, and they have to pay close attention to the naval movements of the Tang Empire.
Although all signs indicate that the target of the Tang Empire's action is very likely to be a mirage, the Lions Empire does not want their Bunas Port to be suddenly attacked by a huge fleet.
The diplomatic department of the Lions Empire is communicating repeatedly with the Ambassador of the Tang Empire to the Lions Empire to confirm that the Datang Empire will not take military action against the Lions Empire.
Although the ambassador of the Tang Empire has repeatedly stated that there will be no military action against the Lines Empire, the Lines Empire is still extremely nervous.
First of all, King Lines I gathered 100,000 troops in the direction of Bunas. At the same time, the naval fleet of the Lines Empire was also on alert. The atmosphere across the entire Eastern Continent was solemn, because a war between the Yangmu Empire and the Binghan Empire in the north seemed likely to break out at any time.
So the intelligence department of the Lions Empire has been very busy recently. They are desperately collecting all the information about the Tang Empire's naval operations, and they are not letting go of any information.
As soon as he entered the door, this official from the intelligence department of the Lions Empire, who had been busy all day, unbuttoned his collar, took a sip of water and said, "I'm exhausted."
“How was the investigation?” his colleague asked curiously.
The intelligence officer in charge of this matter said disdainfully: "There are some things that even a blind man can detect! No matter how good the Tang Empire's intelligence work is, there is no way to conceal such a large-scale strategic preparation."
As he spoke, he made exaggerated movements: "Their oil tankers are moving north, not ten, not twenty, but hundreds! Can you imagine a country gathering so many oil tankers, gathering so many Supply ships? No other country can have so many transport ships except the Tang Empire."
Intelligence officers of the Lanes Empire, which is far away by the water, recently saw a sight they may have never seen in their lifetime: the Tang Empire's transport ships docked on the sea, so many that it will cause trypophobia.
In order to ensure the logistics of the expedition, the Tang Empire even assembled a number of ships specialized in transporting food supplies to follow up. They could not support the landing operations, but they could provide sufficient supplies for subsequent operations.
The entire plan is huge and complex, so there is no confidentiality at all during the execution process: as long as the other party has some ears and eyes, they will also roughly guess the strategic deployment of the Tang Empire.
Just listen to the official who compiled the intelligence say: "On the pier, there are personnel transport ships docked as far as the eye can see! Each of these ships can carry thousands of people, but such a ship... is near the water, in Beiyuan, in Dongwan, on Dragon Island that we can’t see, there are thousands of them!”
Not only personnel transport ships, but also tank transport ships, hospital ships, supply ships, and more than 4,000 ships mobilized by the Tang Empire. There are even some ships for backup.
These ships also include engineering ships that build floating docks, as well as specially designed sacrificial ships that are responsible for knocking away possible minefields.
He shook his head as he spoke, obviously not understanding the behavior of the Tang Empire: "I don't know why the Tang Empire had the confidence to organize such a large-scale attack without being able to send aircraft to the Mirage... But their commander obviously Very confident about this.”
“Who knows?” His colleague put down the document in his hand and made an incomprehensible expression.
The person next to me who was recently helping to sort out the intelligence of the Tang Empire also joined the discussion: "The troops of the Tang Empire are being assembled and mobilized. Although they keep it secret, there are soldiers entering the port and walking onto the dock every day... at Linshui. In the high-rise buildings, if you hold up a high-magnification telescope, you can see the sea of people riding boats. "
As he spoke, he picked up a newspaper from the Tang Empire: "Their TV stations and newspapers, including radio stations, are scolding the numerous crimes committed by the Mirage Kingdom in Beiyuan and Dongwan. In the past, Qi and Zheng People have been aroused to the mood of revenge. The entire Tang Empire is cheering for being able to attack Mirage. No one is worried about the failure of the war. What they are worried about is that the war will be cancelled!
"The streets were full of people marching. Women held up signs saying "Kill the goblins." The survivors in Beiyuan City even exposed their **** and denounced the goblins for defiling their bodies." As he spoke, he picked up another hand. A newspaper, pointing to a disheveled old woman on it, showing it to his colleagues.
The title is very clear. It is a woman from Beiyuan City who is accusing the goblins of crimes committed in Beiyuan City. Her expression is painful and twisted, which makes people feel extremely distressed.
"The men are like powder keg, they have been ignited... In the eyes of the Tang people, the Tang people cannot be violated. They wave their fists to find a place for the persecuted women, and the recruitment office of the Tang Empire has even queued up A long queue formed." Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh that the Tang Empire had stood up for its righteousness, and the entire country had begun to mobilize for the war.
This situation makes the monarchs of other countries very envious, because it is the power they want to obtain but cannot get. It's exciting to think about being able to mobilize the emotions of an entire country to serve yourself. Therefore, the officials of the intelligence department in this office are also very envious of the Tang Empire's ability to control public opinion. Some people can't help but sigh: "Countless people hope to join the army and serve the country. They don't care about sacrifice, or they They advocate sacrifice and are willing to sacrifice for victory. In their eyes, the Tang Empire has never failed!"
"Conservative calculations indicate that the first batch of troops of the Tang Empire to attack the Mirage Kingdom exceeded 100,000. Whether these troops can break through the Mirage Kingdom's defense line will be the key to whether the Mirage Kingdom can defend its territory." The man who just returned to the office The official continued.
In fact, he conservatively estimated the strength of the Tang Empire: the Tang Empire mobilized more than 100,000 troops.
His colleagues quickly talked about the Mirage's response: "The Mirage did not sit still and wait for death. They imported 300,000 tons of concrete from Dorne and Gobel, and at the same time purchased metals from almost all countries. They have done a good job Without preparations for war, the Tang Empire may not be able to win easily this time."
Someone followed up and said: "It is said that the Mirage Kingdom has started building their coastal defenses half a year ago. In key areas, they have even built powerful three-dimensional defenses. These lines of defense will work."
The Mirage State is also vigorously publicizing that it is ready for war. They are trying to use this method to scare off the attack of the Tang Empire.
And they have indeed put a lot of effort into defense. They purchased all the supplies they could buy, including cement and steel bars, and even things like artillery and tanks.
This allowed Mirage to spend almost all the funds they had saved: a considerable part of which was earned by supporting the mercenaries of the Fengjiang rebels.
"Even if there is naval gun cover, it will not be easy for the landing troops to forcefully tear open the defense line. Although the Tang Empire has experience in projecting troops over long distances, that was more than ten years ago." Someone posted his own opinion view.
As people from Lanes, everyone in this room has no good impression of the Tang Empire. They were afraid of this behemoth, and at the same time they felt extremely guilty because of Bunas.
In their view, the Tang Empire will recapture Bunas sooner or later, and the conflict between the Lines Empire and the Tang Empire is irreconcilable.
"They will suffer heavy losses. Even if the follow-up troops can go ashore and seize part of the area, they will be trapped in a bitter battle due to lack of follow-up. I would say that the Tang Empire is overconfident in this action." Another person agreed with him. views, and felt that Mirage might win.
The official who had just returned to the office also nodded in agreement with this view: "Indeed, a fleet that has lost air superiority is fragile. No matter how many times we experiment, it will be difficult for a fleet without air cover to exert its combat effectiveness. Unless the Tang Empire has a way Send the Butcher fighter to Mirage to join the battle, otherwise they will definitely suffer a disastrous defeat.”
Someone immediately laughed: "I am very interested in the disastrous defeat of the Tang Empire. Who doesn't want to see the arrogant Datang Empire suffer a defeat?"
"You are right. I also think it would be more beneficial for us if the Tang Empire suffered a disastrous defeat at Mirage." Others also laughed. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became more lively. Everyone has been too depressed recently, and we haven't had such a pleasant conversation for a long time.
Still, the materials needed for modern warfare are massive. The so -called intercepting the telegram or breaking the password to confirm the enemy's operations to confirm the enemy's operations, which is simply nonsense.
The real intelligence is not the **** document obtained by an agile God of War who bravely broke into the enemy's headquarters and fought two thousand guards to break open the safe. It is a collection and analysis of a lot of complex ordinary information.
If you want to know the strategic preparations of the Tang Empire, you only need to rent a house next to the train station and carefully check whether the various materials transported enter large ports such as Linshui Beiyuan.
In addition, the Tang Empire's army mobilization, weapons and ammunition transportation, the gathering of various ships, and whether coal and heavy oil were transferred to Linshui Dongwan and other directions...
As long as these data are obtained and analyzed together, we can roughly judge the extent of the Tang Empire's war preparations.
In addition, merchants at the port only need help to see where the hundreds of destroyers and more than a dozen cruisers of the Tang Empire were last replenished, and they can roughly guess where the main fleet of the Tang Empire has arrived.
