Chapter 395 395 Not Easy
Even for the US military in 1944, it was not easy to land in Normandy with the British supply base in the transatlantic operation.

If he hadn't mastered the superiority of the air force, and used a series of means to conceal his strategic intentions, he would have been thrown into the sea by a group of young SS youths.

What's more, the current Datang Group does not have this itself at all-it is definitely not an easy task to attack a huge country across the sea.

Certainly not an easy task!If it was easy, would Tang Mo bring the two of them over to discuss it?Wouldn't it be over just to give an order?
It was precisely because Tang Mo knew that this action was different from the past and needed to be carefully considered, so he found two of his confidantes and loved generals to discuss a suitable plan.

Looking at Zheng's coastline, Loew continued: "If it's a threat, or a defeat, it's easy, and Bernard's navy can easily do it."

He is very confident in the Datang Group's navy, because it is a technical arm. As long as there is technical crushing, the quality can make up for the lack of quantity.

What's more, once a war starts, the Datang Group can assemble a large number of warships, and the opponent may not be able to take advantage of it.

Therefore, he sighed with some regret: "But if it is an all-out attack, our disadvantage in terms of strength is too obvious."

Tang Mo smiled, glanced at Loew, and joked, "If I want to use the navy to bully people along the coastline, why do I ask you to come here? Why don't I just call Bernard to come over and assign tasks?"

Loew scratched his head in embarrassment, and then answered Tang Mo's previous question: "The current Datang Group's security force has two divisions on the books, but actually only has one and a half troops."

"Both divisions have a quarter shortage of soldiers, because we are not in a state of war." He introduced the current state of the Datang Group's troops: "Because they are stationed for local defense, both divisions have shortages. If you want to fight, you need to make up for the gap.”

In order not to cause excessive reaction from the forces of the surrounding kingdoms and stimulate these kingdoms, the number of troops directly under the Datang Group has always been very small.

With the development of Long Island, the number of troops was barely expanded to the size of two divisions—and because it was not a wartime, these two divisions were not yet fully staffed.

Most of the administrative agencies and weapons and equipment are available, but the soldiers are actually quite empty. On the one hand, it can save military expenses, and on the other hand, it also saves valuable labor.

You know, the soldiers of Datang Group's security forces are not like other power kingdoms, who recruit illiterate farmers and homeless people.

The soldiers of the Datang Group are all valuable talents. They are highly educated, literate and have skills. Every loss of these people makes people feel distressed.

It is precisely because of these high-quality soldiers that Datang Group's troops can have stronger coordination capabilities when performing tasks. The soldiers have high subjective initiative, tenacious and tenacious combat styles, and reasonable partial tactical arrangements...

As the chief of staff of the Datang Group, Loew naturally knew his troops well, so he directly gave his own judgment: "If both divisions are replenished with full strength, our current combat troops are about 2. Man, that's not enough."

Tiger analyzed it purely from the perspective of military operations, and shook his head in embarrassment: "It's difficult, we are fighting across the sea, we must first establish a strategic hub in the coastal area of ​​Zheng State, and then resist the enemy's counterattack, It's important."

Long Island is far away from Zheng Guo, otherwise it would not have been discovered by explorers until more than ten years ago.Starting from Long Island, it was obviously too crazy to rely on ships to supply troops and support them in fighting in Zheng country.

Even if Tang Mo controlled more than half of the transportation capacity of the Endless Sea, he would not be arrogant enough to make such a basic judgment.

Therefore, Tiger's idea is almost the easiest plan to realize - to find an island near the coastline of Zheng State as a strategic springboard.

First, accumulate enough strategic materials on this island, including ammunition, food, weapons and equipment, build maintenance factories and docks, be able to repair ships, supply coal and even gasoline.

Then rely on this island to launch an attack on Zheng Guo, which will undoubtedly shorten one's own supply line and simplify logistics.

The Datang Group's army has always attached great importance to logistical supplies, so Tang Mo was not at all surprised by Tiger's analysis of the problem from the perspective of supplies.

As the saying goes, the three armies move ahead without using food and grass, and calculating the problems of their own supplies before the start of the battle is one of the most important tasks of modern war commanders.

"The current transportation capacity is not enough to support the consumption of the entire war. We need to transship and store strategic materials for a long time. Obviously, this is a big project." The more he looked at the endless sea, the more Tiger felt that this kind of transshipment Supplies from the sea will take the lives of the Datang Group's logistics troops.

At the same time, everyone is very clear that there are no trains or railways in Zheng State, and the road conditions are not clear. Maybe the transportation conditions are extremely poor, which will seriously restrict the Datang Group's series of operations in Zheng State.

Loew also had to shake his head and talk about the difficulties he might face: "Occupying the country of Zheng requires a large number of troops, but a large number of troops will consume a lot of ammunition, and ammunition needs to be replenished across the sea, so the cross-sea shipping must be sufficient. contradictory."

"At least five more divisions must be expanded, 5 people. This is almost the limit. If it is less, it will inevitably lose sight of the other." After a rough calculation in his mind, Tiger, the frontline commander, gave The total number of troops that I think is barely enough.

Hearing this number, Loew's head shook even faster: "It is not an easy task even for us to transport 5 people to the west side of the endless sea. I am not worried about naval battles, I am worried Exactly the land warfare part."

Just kidding, think about the Sea Lion Project, Germany's navy and maritime transportation capabilities in World War II cannot guarantee troops to cross the English Channel, let alone the transportation capacity may not actually catch up with the Datang Group of the Third Reich.

If Germany must consider the counterattack of the British navy and the British coastal defense force, then Datang Group must also consider its own transportation capacity, most of which are sailing ships...

"If we fall into a bitter battle, our supplies will be very difficult...Even if we have not operated the battle transport of tens of thousands of people, what will happen and what problems will arise, there is no way to predict." Loew cautiously put forward their opinions.

As the chief of staff of the Datang Group, he must fully warn Tang Mo of the dangers he may face before making decisions. This is his duty.

"Is there a possibility to use an elite army to directly attack Zheng's capital, capture the royal city, and paralyze the opponent's resistance?" Tang Mo thought for a while, and came up with a method that could simplify logistics supplies as much as possible and make a quick decision. plan.

Tiger immediately said: "It is theoretically feasible, but from a purely military perspective, this tactic is not the most reasonable choice."

In fact, he has been designing a similar plan in his mind since just now.Because this plan is too tempting.

As long as it can be realized, the war can be ended quickly, which can greatly simplify the supply difficulties caused by cross-sea operations, and at the same time reduce losses. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Correspondingly, this kind of military adventure similar to Meridian Valley Conspiracy is accompanied by equally huge risks.

Loew nodded immediately, agreeing with Tiger's statement, and then continued to explain to Tang Mo: "Yes, on the one hand, we need to ensure that the army that has gone deep alone has enough food and ammunition, which is a very important task in itself. Difficult things, on the other hand, we have to think about what the consequences will be if the action fails."

"The consequences are very serious..." Tiger emphasized: "If the monarch of the enemy army leads the ministers to abandon the king's city and flee, we will be in vain, then the opponent's counterattack will come from all directions, our troops will have difficulty retreating, and there is a possibility of destruction Danger."

"Or, even if we successfully captured the enemy's monarch and took control of the royal city, our situation is still very dangerous if the surrounding enemies refuse to surrender." Loew gave another possibility to let Tang Mo understand this. The drawbacks of this tactical choice.

"So, we should try our best to ensure that the troops we invaded the king's city are supported or safe in at least one direction." Loew pointed to Zheng's king's city and pointed to several directions.

In fact, whether it was Loew, Tiger, or even Tang Mo, they all thought that it would not be difficult to capture several cities, or capture the royal city of a kingdom.

What they are discussing now is how to control the situation and occupy the entire kingdom, rather than gaining an earth-shattering quick victory.

Last time, Redman raided Gemelin King City and destroyed Gemelin in an instant. In fact, it was not a victory that could be replicated.

Gemelin's downfall was the result of several factors working together. It wasn't just a kingdom that was destroyed by capturing the king's city and capturing the king.

First of all, Gemelin's main force was actually wiped out by the Northridge army after it invaded the Wright Kingdom. Therefore, the Gemelin Kingdom was empty and had almost no counterattack capability.

Secondly, the bachelor king of Gmelin, he thought that the other party would not kill him, and even let the kingdom of Gmelin go in the ensuing bargaining with Cyric... Obviously he was overthinking.

So... This kind of foolish king and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of domestic emptiness have achieved the miracle of destroying a kingdom in ten days.

Tang Mo knew that it was almost impossible to replicate this miracle, so he hoped that Zheng Guo would be all idiots, which would be a brain-dead behavior in itself. Before the battle, imagining the opponent as a fool was a stupid thing of the Japanese staff.
