Chapter 2738 Different Nature of War

...

In Chen Xi's personal subjective impression, he also regards this plan as an alternative plan. Apart from challenging one's three views, there is nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, in reality, if this were to be done, among the four major empires at present, the only one that truly possesses the power to resist would probably be the Han Empire itself.

As for other empires, including the Roman Empire, they would most likely be crushed if they were faced with this kind of battlefield offensive.

It is difficult to place millions of troops on a single battlefield. Only in the vast plains such as Eastern Europe, Central Plains, Central Asia, and the Ganges region can such a large number of troops be placed.

This only means that such a huge battlefield exists, but once you enter the territories of various empires, except for the truly core and elite parts, most areas simply cannot accommodate so many troops fighting at the same time.

This is the real terrain limitation. Even if it can accommodate so many troops, the difficulty of logistical supply will be extremely high.

On the contrary, if such a large number of troops were split, even if it was only split into six parts, the size of a single front would be reduced to 500,000, the area available for combat would be greatly increased, the pressure on logistics supply would be greatly reduced, and the requirements for supply roads would also be reduced.

Generally speaking, everything has its pros and cons. While splitting has so many advantages, it naturally also has its disadvantages.

That is, after the army is split, its overall combat effectiveness will decline to a certain extent, and it will be easy to be defeated by the enemy one by one.

If you really encounter a military genius like Han Xin, it is very likely that the opponent will use inferior forces to directly complete a local advantage battle and snowball into a victory.

However, this is all based on the absence of Liu Tong's talent and command ability.

With Liu Tong's command ability, unilaterally leading an army of 500,000, and acting cautiously, excluding various natural disaster factors, even someone as strong as Han Xin would not be able to swallow them up in a short period of time.

The synchronization of information among the internal energy clones means that circulation can execute many super tactics at the empire level.

It includes a series of tactics such as synchronized large-scale army penetration, curve infiltration, siege and attack on reinforcements, and center blooming.

If these tactical means used in normal wars were to be implemented in an army of 500,000 people, as long as they were successful, even the Empire would be severely crippled if not destroyed.

Of course, if all tactics are used, even someone as strong as Han Xin, who has the strength and support of a normal empire, would not dare to say that he can win for sure.

The ability of information synchronization seems so simple, but when it comes to imperial wars, especially on larger battlefields, its capabilities and effectiveness become more important.

Compared to Liu Tong who treated this ability as regular information transmission, Han Xin and Bai Qi, who were also among the Four Sages, could better understand the horror of information transmission.

Liu Tong was used to this kind of information transmission and was not surprised by this innate ability. He felt like he was in the mountain but did not know the true face of the person.

It is also because of this that Liu Tong had basically no resistance when it came to Han Xin or Bai Qi teaching him military matters.

The other party's talents and abilities, even if they are only external effects, are destined to mean that once the number of troops reaches a certain level, Liu Tong will be on the same level as them and will pose a strong strategic threat.

Therefore, if Liu Tong wants to bring this ability into play, what he needs to strengthen is the real ability to command a large army and make strategic judgments.

It doesn't matter whether there is a battle situation assessment or not. Even if it is a stupid battle, an army of this size can kill most people and put an end to the situation.

As long as the logistics are in place and such a large army can be assembled, the opponent will no longer matter. Even if other empires can really pull out the same number of troops, so what?

After all, the army is a place where cooperation is important, and cooperation between each other can often enable the weak to defeat the strong.

The ability to synchronize information can make these seemingly scattered troops actually a whole, a whole constructed by the same thinking.

Chen Xi, who understood these things, focused most of his attention and energy on improving internal affairs and strengthening national strength.

Now the generals charging outside can win the foreign war and expand the territory, so naturally everything is good.

If this cannot be achieved, then we will increase the number of veterans and middle-level backbone personnel in large numbers, and achieve it in one fell swoop when the strength is reached.

At that time, no matter how much you lost before, you can get it all back at once.

For the empire, it doesn’t matter how much they lose. What matters is that the last war must be won. As long as this can be achieved, it is enough. Liu Tong’s ability is equivalent to a big guarantee for such a war.

A gambling war that was clearly an all-in war has been transformed into a winner-takes-all war where the loser can get his chips back. At most, the country will suffer a small loss in terms of normal development interests.

Just like when the people of Yizhou first learned about the effect of Yan Yan's legion talent, they chose to act boldly without any scruples, which shows how outrageous this kind of backup plan is.

Being able to provide a safety net is not just about providing a safety net, it is more of a change in thinking, a change in mentality, and an increase and expansion of self-confidence.

As for the role of confidence, it depends on different people’s opinions.

Unfortunately, Fa Zheng did not understand this. Under the comfort and persuasion of everyone, he really put in his energy and effort, prepared to inflict heavy damage on the Kushan Empire through his own efforts, reduce the price the Han Empire would have to pay, and speed up the time to take down the Kushan Empire.

The hundreds of years of war between the Han and the Xiongnu are deeply memorable, and it also makes people understand the severity of war between empires.

Compared with nomadic peoples who had no fixed place to live, roamed around everywhere, and ran around the entire Eurasian continent, the Kushan Empire was much better off.

After all, there was really no way to find any benefit from beating and sanctioning the Xiongnu Empire in the past, except for political correctness.

But the Kushan Empire was completely different. With such a huge empire, they would never run away easily.

It would be better if they ran around like the Hun Empire, because they did not value the other party's life, but only the land under the other party's feet.

It can be said that attacking the Kushan Empire is truly profitable, and the benefits are very broad, and can truly benefit future generations.

Such excellent farmland naturally attracted a large number of capable and ambitious officials of the Han Empire.

With this premise in place, the entire court had no objection to attacking the Kushan Empire.

The benefits that can attract the attention of the empire are not shabby anyway...
