When the battle report reached the capital, Zhu Zhanjun just hummed, asked the Northern Corps to be on standby, gave the navy an order to reorganize, and there was no further news.

When two countries go to war, it doesn't just start with one sentence.

Logistical supplies, troop preparations, attack routes, responses to other forces, etc., a series of things require planning.

"As for supplies, all parties are already dispatching them, and it is expected that all of them will be delivered to the front-line troops in ten days."

Hu Weiyong held a notebook in his hand and reported on the court's preparations.

With his means, he selected the right candidates in one day, controlled all departments of the court, and started operations.

He had been busy supporting the northern front all day today, and when the battle report came back, he happened to come over with the schedule.

After listening to Hu Weiyong's story, Zhu Zhanjun nodded and looked at Jia Xu and other military representatives.

As the temporary chief of staff and Jia Xu, the battle planner, the military spent the entire day today discussing where to start the attack.

According to the plan made by the previous military department of the Great Yan Kingdom, Jia Xu made some modifications and adjustments.

After Hu Weiyong finished his report, he slowly said, "According to our understanding of the map and intelligence, there are very few areas on the west coast of Fuso that can be landed."

"Some places are heavily guarded. If we want to open a path out, we have to have destructive weapons or be prepared to pay a lot of casualties."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded, already prepared for this mentally.

Back then, Da Piaoliang attacked the territory surrounding Xiaowagua, and Xiaowagua suffered heavy casualties in the later stages of the war.

Although the current Xiaowogua has not entered a state of full-scale war, its potential is considerable.

The Great Yan Kingdom is going to go to war with the other side, and it will be the attacking side, and it will be a sea landing operation, so there will definitely be considerable casualties.

"But before that, we need to take over two islands."

Jia Xu stood up, picked up a stick and pointed at the sand table in front of him, saying: "They are the Tainiu Island in the middle area between Wanghai Prefecture and Fusang Kingdom, and the Liuli Island chain in the middle area that chose to surrender to Xiaowogua."

"Only by taking over these two areas can our air force and other departments quickly support the frontline battlefield."

"In addition, with these two islands, the navy can also blockade the entire Busan Island, leaving the enemy helpless."

"Landing Operation."

Looking at these two terrains, Zhu Zhanjun frowned.

According to the information he read today, these little Japanese have been strengthening the defense of these two island areas since they were defeated and retreated 20 years ago.

The main purpose is to prevent the Great Yan Kingdom from going to sea to fight for revenge.

In these two areas, two divisions are stationed on Tsuniu Island and three divisions are stationed on Ruri Island, all of which are elite standing divisions.

With an elite army and a perfect defense system, Zhu Zhanjun couldn't imagine how many casualties his men would suffer once the battle started.

At the same time, he also figured out why the Regent and the King's brother-in-law had always wanted to get rid of Xiao Wogua, but had been preparing but not taking any action.

These two defensive points are like the defensive shields of the little pumpkin, one to protect the head and the other to protect the waist, guarding its vital positions tightly.

"Let who go?"

The old man who had been listening to the whole process looked at Zhu Zhanjun after Jia Xu and others had finished explaining the situation.

The old man put himself in a very correct position. In the Ming Dynasty, he was the emperor, and in other worlds, he was Zhu Zhanjun's grandfather.

When it comes to national affairs, he only puts forward his own ideas and does not influence Zhu Zhanjun's decision.

Zhu Zhanjun put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in front of the sand table. After a long while, he said, "Let Gongsun Qi be responsible for attacking from above."

"The Northern Army, the Xuanwu Army, and the Northern Air Force form the Sun-Shooting Army Group, which is under his command."

"On Liuli Island, Duan Anxuan will lead the Central Army Group, which will be composed of the former Imperial Guards Corps, the Central Qilin Corps, and the aviation force."

"Zheng Zilong commanded the entire navy and coordinated the two armies to fight against Fuso."

"Starting time..."

Zhu Zhanjun hesitated for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "September 9th 18:9."

"Your Majesty, the representative of Fuso, Abe-san, greets you."

Xiaohu, who was in charge of standing guard today, strode in and reported the news outside.

In order to strengthen his own security, Zhu Zhanjun transferred Xiaohu over to serve as the commander of the imperial palace.

During some important meetings, Xiaohu would personally guard the door outside.

Zhu Zhanjun sneered: "Come now, it seems that they are not ready for a full-scale war."

He waved his hand and told Xiao Hu, "I won't see him. Let him see Tang Jian."

Xiaohu responded and conveyed Zhu Zhanjun's meaning.

The mistress who was waiting outside the palace sighed softly when she heard that the new emperor didn't want to see him.

The representative of the Sun Never Sets, who was sitting on a chair with his eyes squinting and kicking his legs, said helplessly: "You are the one who started the war. Based on my understanding of the Great Yan Nation, is it possible for you to say that you don't want to fight anymore at this time?"

Xiao San smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sir, I understand all this, but we are really not prepared for such a big war."

Since the emperor could not be seen, Xiao San could only obey the order and go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find the newly appointed chief diplomat, Tang Jian.

When the two arrived at the place, Old Tang was having lunch.

The two were called in, and they thought that Old Tang would invite them to dine together. But Old Tang was so thick-skinned that he ignored them and just ate his noodles.

Moreover, this guy loves to eat garlic. He eats noodles and garlic at the same time, and the whole room is filled with the smell.

The two men frowned and only breathed a sigh of relief after Old Tang finished three large bowls of noodles.

After wiping his mouth and rinsing his mouth with a cup of tea, Old Tang sat down opposite the two of them and asked, "What do you two want from me?"

Wow, as soon as he opened his mouth, the garlic aroma was so strong that the representative of the British Sun, who was a little disgusted by the smell, almost vomited.

"Mr. Tang, I came to see you today because I want to talk about the issue of the war between the two countries."

"Actually this is a misunderstanding. Our Great Fuso..."

"Misunderstanding?" Without waiting for the other party to finish his words, Old Tang sneered.

He tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Xiao San: "Your name is Xiao San, right? Your soldiers attacked our territory and caused heavy casualties to our defense forces, and you actually told me it was a misunderstanding."

“Okay, if that’s the case, then tomorrow our Great Yan Country will send troops to your country to clear up any misunderstandings.”

"Mr. Tang, that's an invasion."

The representative of the British Empire frowned and gave a reminder.

"bump!"

Old Tang raised his hand and slammed the table, startling the two men. They didn't understand why the old man was so startled.

Old Tang had a dark face: "What invasion? How could I not know? I only knew that it was a misunderstanding when I looked back."

Old Tang stood up, looked at the two of them coldly and said, "I don't think you are sincere enough, and Mr. Xiaosan's mind is not clear enough. Please go back and wash yourself with the toilet, and come back to talk to me when you are sober."

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and went to his office to work.

The reason why Old Tang had such an attitude was that just before the two of them came, he had received news that the court was preparing to start a full-scale war in half a month.

Just now he was thinking that if the two were sincere, he would play with them for a few days and hone his vocabulary.

I didn't expect that the two of them would try to confuse right into right from the start.

Old Tang is too lazy to talk to someone who can't even speak clearly.

Ever since I knew the history of the Tang Dynasty, Tang’s attitude towards the outside world has been: If you are polite and respectful, I will be nice to you, otherwise we will use cannons and machine guns to greet you.

Anyway, there is always one option that suits you.

The two people who were kicked out walked out with sullen faces, pointed at by the staff of the Diplomatic Department.

"Damn these proud guys! Niu Island and Liuli Island will become their hell."

The mistress uttered a cruel word in a vicious way, then turned around and left with her sleeves waving as the representative of the British Sun Never Sets looked speechless.

"Alas, I hope your war will not engulf the entire world."

The representative of the British Empire shook his head and went back to report the news.

The news that the Great Yan Kingdom and the Fuso Kingdom were about to go to war quickly swept the entire world.

Some people have expressed their concerns and have come forward, hoping that both sides will remain rational and resolve the issue through negotiations.

However, those who understand the situation of both parties know that it is completely impossible for the two parties to resolve the issue through negotiations.

Moreover, according to reliable intelligence, the Great Yan Kingdom has begun to increase its military forces in two places.

Some manufacturing plants have already been transformed into wartime status.

Various weapons and aircraft were constantly moving to the two areas, all making silent preparations.

The Fuso Kingdom was not to be outdone and frantically recruited soldiers from the two islands.

There were two regular divisions stationed on Ushijima Island, and after a few days of reinforcements, the number had increased to four.

The larger Liuli Island chain had its forces increased to six divisions.

The smell of gunpowder grew thicker in the air, and a war broke out between the two sides, leaving only time for the final showdown and the battle.

On the evening of September 9, Gongsun got up and went to the front line, holding a telescope and looking at the sea in the distance.

Since the last contact between the two sides, both sides have withdrawn to their respective territories and strengthened their defenses.

In the sea where the two sides were about to engage in battle, the ships of all forces tacitly avoided it.

As the war atmosphere has intensified in recent days, no ships dare to come here.

After observing the sea for a while, Zhu Zhanjun turned to the white-haired veteran beside him and said, "Your corps will cooperate with the Marine Corps and the Navy to attack. Remember your mission is to focus all their attention and energy on you and buy time for other troops."

"I don't care how many casualties you suffer. As long as my order is not conveyed, you must keep fighting."

Upon hearing this, the veteran stood at attention, raised his hand to salute and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Marshal, as long as your order is not conveyed, even if I am the only one left, I will launch the most fierce attack on the enemy."

Gongsun Qi nodded, checked his watch, and said, "Go ahead. Remember, the attack time is 9:18 on September 9th!"

The veteran saluted again, turned around and boarded the waiting transport ship.

As the sun sank into the sea, 10 battleships and more than 20 cruisers escorted a densely packed transport ship and headed for Tsushima Island 100 nautical miles away. (End of this chapter)
