Chapter 1132 1133 The Wisdom of a Great Country
Datang Empire, Chang'an.
Tang Mo was sitting in the office, listening to the battle report on this new island naval battle. The Mirage troops invested in a more difficult suicide speedboat, and the Tang army paid a heavy price in the night battle.
First of all, these targets are too small, very difficult to target during night operations, and there are so many of them that they are difficult to deal with.
Secondly, the appearance of this thing made the Tang army have to be vigilant at night, which seriously affected the combat efficiency of the landing fleet.
"If the opponent is allowed to approach the landing site, the cargo ships that lack defense will be attacked. It will be a disaster, and a large number of ships will be sunk or severely damaged." Loew said to Tang Mo worriedly.
"Where is this?" Tang Mo smiled. The other party only used Zero fighter jets and small speedboats to carry out suicide attacks. For a battlefield of World War II level, it was at best the primary stage of the Sakura Agent Team.
In the later stages of development, the opponent will use rocket engines to create man-operated missiles, and will use submarine technology to create Kaitian torpedoes...then it can be said that there are really many tricks.
So, Tang Mo told Loew about two suicide weapons that might appear on a large scale in the future, which made the imperial chief of staff even more worried.
New challenges will arise for the navy and air force of the Tang Empire, which is definitely not good news for the military.
Tang Mo smiled and comforted Loew: "There is nothing to worry about. We will also introduce more advanced weapons to let the other party understand that those evil paths will eventually fail!"
The Tang Empire already has new weapons such as missiles, so the so-called human-operated rockets are just backward technology: that thing can't fly as fast as the J-6, so what are you afraid of?
The technology of anti-aircraft missile destroyers will definitely be iterated, and intercepting subsonic missiles will also become a relatively easy task. The so-called suicide aircraft is simply a joke.
Once the Tang Dynasty Aegis began to swim on the sea, all those weird tactics would have no use.
“Forget about those pathetic suicide speedboats, let’s talk about the progress of the 9th Army.” Tang Mo obviously didn’t take this desperate struggle to heart.
Thinking about it, there is really no need to care so much: isn't the reason why this tragic and tragic tactic of sharing the same fate started to appear is just proof that the opponent's skills are at a loss?
If one's own side has the upper hand, then who will have nothing to eat and vigorously develop this kind of combat method that wastes "talent". You know, in Tang Mo's opinion, there are as many advanced weapons as there are, and a warrior who can overcome the fear of death is really a valuable asset.
Such people should be placed in more important positions so that their courage and determination can play a greater role. Instead of letting them drive speedboats and planes to die with the enemy.
"Feng Kezhi is indeed a talent." Loew said with emotion: "He learned logistics very quickly, and his understanding of the use of arms... is even better than many veteran generals."
A person who can serve as a general in a country is definitely not a mediocre person. Funk failed because his country fell behind, not because he was a fool.
After systematic study and a certain degree of practical training, the commanding ability he displayed is indeed top-notch.
"After occupying Yasuda Village, the vanguard armored force of the 9th Group Army turned north and happened to run into the main force of the 3rd Corps of the Mirage Army that was gathering. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides near Duanshan." Loew laid out on the table The specific location was pointed out on the map: "Mirong Wu Erlang was driven out by Feng Kezhi's troops before he had time to fight in the streets of Duanshan City. Now that our army has occupied that place, we can reach Mirage Ten by heading east along the railway line. Six new water ports.”
Xinshui Port is actually not big. The largest port in the Mirage Kingdom is still the Great South Bay, and the second largest port is the Mirage Capital, which is the capital of the Mirage Kingdom. The third largest port is the New Water Port, where the throughput is only about half of that of the Great South Bay.
However, for the new island, this new water port is indeed crucial: a large amount of materials need to be unloaded at this port, and the materials on the new island also need to be transported through here.
Different from Great South Bay on the south side of South Island, New Water Port is on the east side of New Island. The Tang army has actually blocked this place, and the port is crowded with fishing boats and cargo ships that cannot go to sea.
Fortunately, there is also a fort in Xinshui Port. The main force of the Tang Army fleet is covering the landing. The only ones blocking the place are the destroyer squadrons, so there is no attack on the fort, which makes the place appear safe for the time being.
“I am very relieved to leave the battlefield to Feng Kezhi.” Tang Mo nodded. It was obvious that the talents he had discovered from the Dahua Empire were of good quality.
The development of the Tang Empire has become faster recently, and the contribution of the "Chinese" ministers is definitely indispensable for this. Deputy Prime Minister Chu Muzhou was experienced and prudent. Chen Jing, the Minister of Industry, was even more prosperous. Even Jiang Run of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs showed unprecedented insidiousness and cunning, pushing the diplomatic style of the Tang Empire to no limit. The direction has stretched a long distance.
This made Tang Mo feel a little regretful, he still missed Shen Chuan after all. If Shen Chuan were placed in the position of Minister of Defense, he might also be dazzling. "What I'm worried about are the problems that these millions of civilians from Mirage will bring." When Tang Mo said this, Loew's expression changed somewhat.
They all know that in order to fully control the South Island and the New Island and prevent the goblins from blending into the Tang Empire and becoming "citizens" of the Tang Empire, they must drive the goblins out of the South Island and the New Island.
So...since these goblins are to be driven away or even eliminated, there will definitely be resistance. The small-scale riots on the South Island are a start, and subsequent problems will soon follow.
Mirage Wuxiong, as a mirage who had long since taken refuge in the Tang Empire, is naturally the future "leader" of the mirage country that the Datang Empire strongly supports. He and Xu Wenmao were really devoted to the Tang Empire. In fact, they really had no other choice.
"Both Mirage Wuxiong and Mirage Wenmao know what we mean. If they do well, then there will naturally be goblins who can continue to survive on the North Island... If they do not do well, then the reservation on the North Island will also It no longer exists," Loew said to Tang Mo.
"They themselves know very well how to deal with the goblins, which is more beneficial to the two of them." After having been the chief of general staff of the empire for so many years, Loew is still confident.
In fact, the Tang Empire had an alternative plan, which was to support a puppet of the Mirage royal family when it invaded the Mirage Kingdom, and then kill Mirage Wuxiong and Mirage Wenmao.
The criterion for making a choice is which candidate is more obedient to the Tang Empire and which candidate is more willing to exert a little subjective initiative.
It now seems that Mirage Wuxiong and Mirage Wenmao are equally matched, and they are both working hard to express themselves: their cruelty to the goblin civilians of Mirage Kingdom far exceeded the expectations of the Tang Empire.
Since you can’t choose, just don’t choose at all. Tang Mo is now more inclined to keep both of them and then arrange a good position for them respectively.
According to Tang Mo's idea, Mirage Wenmao and Mirage Wuxiong will become the "President" and "Prime Minister" of Mirage Kingdom. The two people will decentralize power and restrict each other, allowing Mirage Kingdom to enjoy the happiness of "cooking".
As for side effects such as political turmoil and poor government orders, he has nothing to do with it. Anyway, it is just a vassal of the Tang Empire. Whoever is elected to power will be a vassal of the Tang State, isn't it?
"I'm thinking whether to kill less and leave them with the burden of population; or kill more and control the population base is more reasonable." Tang Mo was not out of kindness, but thinking about how to deal with Mirage.
From the moment he decided to invade the Mirage Kingdom, the idea of mercy no longer existed in Tang Mo's mind. He had many things to think about, but the only thing he didn't have was mercy. Isn’t the very idea of mercy in the mind of a man who starts a war a joke?
"Your Majesty, this kind of thing is not my strong point." Loew smiled helplessly: "You'd better ask the Deputy Prime Minister."
Tang Mo suddenly realized that he had quite a few advisers in his pocket now, especially an old man like Chu Muzhou who had once helmed a huge empire.
So, he immediately invited Chu Muzhou. After hearing this question, Chu Muzhou nodded and directly gave a very reasonable answer: "Your Majesty! If the impact of a decision cannot be seen on a matter, we can actually let it go and wait and see. "
"The orcs will face the same problem on the main island... They will also have a choice. Either kill the goblins, or send them to the North Island... If they choose to send people to the North Island, then we will also send them, so the population pressure will Keep the goblins poor. "When an old man like Chu Muzhou uses tactics, he is very mature.
He paused and continued: "If the orcs kill, we will also kill. That will reduce the goblin population to a dangerous state, and in a short time, they will no longer pose any threat."
Obviously, the old prime minister who once took charge of the government affairs of an empire still has his own unique insights. In the past, he didn't have a platform to perform, but that doesn't mean he didn't have a lot of bad qualities.
Tang Mo nodded, feeling that Chu Muzhou’s method was indeed very good. All he has to do now is wait for the result, the result from the island.
“In that period of time…” Tang Mo continued to ask.
Chu Muzhou laughed: "Your Majesty, I think... choosing the leader of the future Mirage Kingdom is a difficult problem. We must look more and wait... Mirage Wu Xiong is a talent, and Mirage Wenmao is also good. After all, we still need to investigate more. It’s easy to make a decision based on their temperament and character, right?”
This means leaving the mess to the goblins themselves to get a result. Tang Mo nodded, realizing that for a huge empire, waiting... might be wiser than choosing.
