Daming Crazy Emperor

Taichang and Sun Chuanting discussed for a while, and the general strategy for the eastern front was almost arranged, but they hadn't talked about the western front yet.

The western front is indeed difficult to fight, because there are too many enemies and the front is too long.

Moreover, their biggest advantage is that naval ships are basically unable to support operations on the Western Front.

No way, the terrain on the western front is like that.

The mountains near Kandahar are crisscrossed, and there are no rivers at all.

The Ural River is a river, but it is too short, so ships can pass through the middle and lower reaches, and even the Spike warships cannot enter the upper reaches.

And the last thing the enemy is likely to attack is the Ural River defense line.

Not to mention the Ural Mountains, which are basically continuous mountains with no navigable rivers in the middle.

The entire western front is also navigable in the middle of the Caspian Sea and the Ural River, where the enemy is least likely to attack. In other places, the artillery on the ship is basically out of reach.

This kind of terrain combat can basically only rely on infantry, and naval ships can at most transport some supplies to the edge of the Ural Mountains in the back. Even naval ships in Kandahar can't get through, and everything has to rely on manpower. and animal transport.

This western front is really difficult to fight.

Taichang stared at the map, frowned and thought for a while, then sighed slightly: "Bo Ya, it seems that we can only focus on defense on the western front, because the waterway is blocked, and it is too troublesome for us to transport supplies.

The current defense line is better, except that Kandahar needs to rely on manpower and animal power to transport materials, other places can also use ships to transport materials to the defense line.

If we move forward, the transportation of weapons and ammunition and food and supplies will be a big problem. "

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting shook his head slightly, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it all depends on what you want the western front to be like.

If we just want to beat the Continental League and force them to surrender, then it's easier to fight.

If we want to wipe out all the countries in the European Continental Union, it will be really difficult to fight. "

Just kidding, I don't intend to wipe out all the countries in the European Continental Union.

Taichang also shook his head slightly and said: "We don't need to wipe out all the countries in the European Union, and it's not good for us to wipe out all the countries in the European Union.

Because of the lack of resources in continental Europe, countries in continental Europe like to fight back and forth.

If we wiped out all the countries in the European Continental Union, we would have to buy food and energy to feed the population of the Continental Union.

Moreover, let's wipe out all the countries in the European Continental Union, and these guys will not be honest.

If we can't wipe them out, sooner or later they will make trouble or even rebel.

In this way, we not only need to take in a lot of food and energy, but also send a large number of troops to guard them to prevent them from rebelling.

Therefore, Continental is a burden that will only consume a lot of our supplies and a large number of our troops to guard. Taking the entire Continental is not worth the candle for us.

We might as well put down all the more developed countries in the west of the European continent, and then support the puppets to come to power.

In this way, we have a large buffer area.

As for the central, eastern, and southern parts of the European continent, we only need to fight until they surrender and let them cede land and pay compensation. …

In this way, not only will we not lose money, but we can also make money. "

Uh, I'm afraid many people will starve to death by doing so!

When Sun Chuanting heard the words, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Your Majesty, if we not only don't provide food and energy and other materials, but also ask them to pay compensation, won't they be getting poorer and poorer, so poor that they can't even afford food?
Once people are extremely hungry, they will still rebel! "

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "Even if they are extremely hungry, they are rebelling against their own people, what does it have to do with us?

We raise our hands a little bit, send some food to the disaster relief, or exempt others from part of the compensation, and we can still be a good person.

If it was under our rule, no matter how much food they sent, they probably wouldn't say thank you.

Moreover, even if they are fattened, they will still rebel.

Why should we? "

Well, Sun Chuanting finally understood.

The emperor is going to make people hungry, and there is no resistance at all!
There is no kindness to be shown to the enemy, and there is nothing wrong with being so serious.

He nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Your Majesty, what about the Persian Empire, do we need to destroy them?"

Persian Empire?

just forget it.

The Persian Empire consisted of mountains and Gobi deserts, and did not have many resources.

Moreover, they are similar to the European countries, and they are also very aggressive, and the gains outweigh the losses if they are defeated.

As for that bit of oil, they definitely don't have the ability to develop it, and they will naturally invite the Ming Empire to develop it.

Thinking of this, Taichang shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, it won't do us any good to defeat the Persian Empire. It will be enough to defeat its million-strong army."

It's that simple.

Sun Chuanting quickly pointed to the map and explained carefully: "Your Majesty, you see, in fact, we can still use the river system to transport supplies in the north.

Because the Ural River used to be the Volga River, and the Volga River is connected to the Caspian Sea, we can use the Volga River and its tributaries to transport supplies, penetrate the entire southern part of Tsarist Russia, and reach Poland and the United Kingdom of Lithuania.

On the eastern front, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea transship materials, which can also reach Poland and the United Kingdom of Lithuania.

The Continental League is bound to lose under our two-pronged attack. "

This is true, there are still river systems in the north of the Caspian Sea.

The problem is that there are not enough troops in the north!
Taichang shook his head slightly and sighed: "The terrain in the north is more suitable for advancing, the problem is that we don't have many troops to gather to the north.

Now the 30 elites of the South Camp and the 20 elites of the West Camp are guarding the front line of Kandahar, and there are 20 horses in the North Camp to mine gold mines.

As for the 70 troops of the Southeast and Nanyang Camps, their weapons and equipment are not very good, and they can be used to defend the line of defense. If they are sent to the wild to compete with the European Union army, I am afraid they may not be able to fight well.

Moreover, it turns out that we have to keep people stationed in the huge territory of the Mughal Empire. The 70 soldiers of the Southeast Battalion and the Nanyang Battalion cannot all be transferred to guard the Ural Mountains and the Ural River defense line.

In other words, we can also mobilize 60 troops from the Western Camp and the Northern Camp to attack Poland and the United Kingdom of Lithuania. …

And the enemy has too many troops on this front line. Wallenstein has more than 200 million mercenaries under his command. The Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia will definitely gather to the north to fight us.

Especially Tsarist Russia, we have entered the territory of Tsarist Russia, and they are likely to desperately recruit people to snipe.

Calculated in this way, the number of enemies in the north may reach about 300 million.

60 versus 300 million, is it possible to push? "

Sun Chuanting said in a calm manner: "Your Majesty, we can lure the enemy to go deep and consume most of Wallenstein's troops before launching a counterattack.

You see, the terrain in the north is just a loophole in the south of the Ural Mountains.

Wallenstein must also be very clear that it would be futile to lead an army to attack the Ural Mountains and the Ural River defense line, and it would be a waste of troops.

Nine out of ten he would choose to break through from the southern Ural Mountains.

We can pretend not to know and let him lead an army into Xiber Province.

Anyway, here is the Acropolis, we just need to remove all the old and weak, women and children, and then send elites from the West Daying and Beidaying to guard this part of the Acropolis, even if they rush in, they won't get any benefit.

Moreover, about a thousand miles to the east is our main canal, and we can definitely send ships to snipe on the river.

They also had no way to break through the canal and continue eastward.

We can completely let the elites of the Western Day Camp and the North Day Camp switch defenses with the soldiers of the Southeast Camp and the Nanyang Camp, and hand over the defense lines of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River to the soldiers of the Henan Yang Camp of the Southeast Camp.

Then mobilize the elite of the Western Camp and the Hebei Camp to use the Acropolis and the canal defense line to fight a war of attrition with Wallenstein's army of more than 200 million. When the enemy is almost exhausted, we can fight back.

We can also solve the problem of insufficient manpower.

Anyway, this is the last battle, and we are not in a hurry to mine the gold mines. We can definitely mobilize the 20 gold mining soldiers from Beidaying first.

As for the front line of Kandahar, we can also think of a way to let Minping lead 20 elite troops from the West Day Camp to the north for support. "

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help asking curiously: "Is there anything we can do on the front line of Kandahar?

The Persian Empire mobilized millions of troops, and these people were deceived into thinking that we had assassinated their emperor Safi.

They fought here entirely in the name of revenge, and they must not die in the fight.

If we withdraw the 20 troops under Minping, can Zhisheng rely on only 30 troops to withstand the million-dollar revenge army?

I am not worried that the Persian Empire will conquer Kandahar, I am afraid that they will break through the left and right wings of Kandahar, and then besiege Kandahar with heavy troops.

Over there is the Gobi desert, and there are no resources at all. Weapons, ammunition, food, grass and supplies are all supplied at the back. Once Kandahar is surrounded by millions of armies, it will be troublesome. "

Sun Chuanting still calmly said: "Your Majesty, we can treat him with his own way.

Isn't the orthodox heir of the Persian Empire, Prince Mirza, the queen concubine and the uncle of the country, all in our hands?

The Ottoman Empire can support the people of the Aries Dynasty to usurp the throne, and we can also support the restoration of Prince Mirza.

As long as we send people to spread the news, announce the truth about the assassination of Emperor Safi, and fully support the restoration of Prince Mirza, the Persian Empire will inevitably be in chaos. …

If we do a good job of publicizing and let most Persians understand the truth about the assassination of Emperor Safi, the Persian Empire may turn to seek revenge from the Ottoman Empire.

In this way, the army of the Ottoman Empire will rush back to deal with the army of the Persian Empire, and we will go to two enemies at once! "

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help admiring: "This plan is very clever!
As for propaganda, we have something ready-made, and that is newspapers.

We can definitely issue a special publication describing in detail the reasons and process of the assassination of the Persian Emperor Safa by the Ottoman Empire, and then send people to distribute it all over Persia so that every Persian can see or hear it.

As a result, the Persian Empire will inevitably be in chaos.

At that time, we will find a way to help Prince Mirza to the throne, and the Persian Empire will definitely seek revenge from the Ottoman Empire! "

In this way, the battle plan on the western front became clear in an instant.

That is to defend and counterattack from the north, first lure the enemy deep, consume most of Wallenstein's men and horses, and then use the river system to advance, all the way to Poland and the United Kingdom of Lithuania.

In the south, they fought a huge public opinion war, instigated against the Persian Empire, supported their own agents to take over the position, and counterattacked the Ottoman Empire! "

This plan looks simple, but its execution is quite complicated.

After thinking about it for a while, Taichang still called the staff generals Sun Quan and Qi Changan to the front and explained in detail, and then ordered them to set off by fast boat and rush to the Ural Mountains from the Arctic Ocean, the Ob River system, the Nanyang River, and the Indus River system. And near Kandahar, to convey specific tactics.
