"I don't quite agree with President Ye's proposal."

As soon as Ye Ziqing finished speaking, an objectionable voice immediately sounded.

Everyone followed the sound and soon found the owner of the sound. This person was none other than Long Yifan from the Dragon Palace.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to tell the reason, Long Yifan cleared his throat, stood up and said: "Everyone, although our main purpose of gathering heavy troops to launch a counterattack this time is the group of craftsmen who have mastered the secret craft.

But we can’t just stop fighting just because those craftsmen were kidnapped by the Condor Empire!

I admit that those craftsmen are indeed very important to us, but if we don’t get those craftsmen, can we really just wait to die?

If all of you here really think so, then I can only say that you are already hopeless. Even if we give you those craftsmen, you will not be able to do anything.

Because you have already been frightened out of your wits by the Condor Empire, and the seeds of fear have been planted in your hearts unknowingly.

As long as you face the Condor Empire, the seeds in your hearts will immediately take root and sprout, and then you will become timid because of fear.

You guys like this are simply not worthy of confronting the Condor Empire, and you are even less worthy of leading the vast number of players who still support us.

Because following you, players will not only lose any hope, but will also feel extremely frustrated when they lose. "

"Everyone can talk about the situation. President Long, please tell me your suggestions first. We are all sensible people. Don't fool people with this kind of speech."

Seeing that Long Yifan started firing map cannons as soon as he came up, Lu Chenguang immediately interrupted him with a stern face.

Glancing at Lu Chenguang, who had a gloomy expression, Long Yifan snorted coldly and said, "I'm not saying this on the spot, but speaking from the bottom of my heart.

Since some people don't like to hear it, let me get straight to the point.

The two presidents, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu, must be familiar to everyone!

In this winter, in order to help us resist the invasion of the Divine Eagle Army, the two presidents, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu, gathered all the elites of the Tang and Song Dynasties and resolutely went north into the eastern Henan Plain to fight against the invasion of the Divine Eagle Empire.

In this battle to fight against the Divine Eagle Empire in the north, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty lost all the Black Armor Cavalry, the Jingsai Army, and most of the Modao Army and the Divine Arm Army.

In order to help us resist the invasion of the Condor Empire, the two presidents have given their all.

Faced with allies who are willing to make such sacrifices, we abandon them directly because they no longer have much value. I want to ask, is this how our alliance treats allies who cooperate with us?

Presidents Li and Zhao have sacrificed so much for our alliance, are we so heartless?

By doing this, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the two presidents and others here?

Allies, allies, what is an ally?

Allies are comrades-in-arms. As for the alliance brothers, is this how you treat your comrades-in-arms and alliance brothers?

If you ignore Chairman Li and Zhao today, you can just abandon the others tomorrow.

Let me ask you, if you give up your alliance at every turn, who will dare to trust you in the future?

I think that even if Presidents Li and Zhao no longer have what we want, we cannot give up easily.

We should do our best to bring Chairman Zhao Guangfu and his troops to the south bank of the Yangtze River, because they are our allies and they have devoted everything they have to our alliance. "

"What you said sounds nice, but may I ask, how should we rescue the friendly forces on the north bank?

Can you personally lead people to defeat Ning Yuan who is guarding the Colorful Bridge?

Or is it that the lives of the Allied troops on the north bank are important, but the lives of our soldiers on the south bank are not?

Do we have to sacrifice the lives of millions of soldiers on the south bank to allow two to three million people on the north bank to cross the river? "

After listening to Long Yifan's impassioned speech, Lu Chenguang immediately retorted.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two suddenly became stronger,

Ma Tianming from the Demon Guild suddenly stood up and said: "Two presidents, please don't be impatient. Everyone, please listen to me first."

After successfully stopping the bickering between Long Yifan and Lu Chenguang, Ma Tianming said in a deep voice: "I may not be as knowledgeable about war matters as everyone here, but I know the logistics of the coalition forces very well.

Although saying this may affect the morale of the military, the actual situation is like this, and I can't lie, because we only have so much grain storage left, and I can't conjure up extra grain for everyone out of thin air.

For this major counterattack, our alliance has assembled nearly tens of millions of troops.

In order not to hold everyone back and to ensure that the front line always has sufficient supplies, our Logistics Support Department used almost all the grain reserves in Hunan this time.

You heard it right, that is all the grain reserves, including the batch of grain and grass supplies planned to support the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Originally, as the alliance's logistics manager in Hunan, I was not qualified to speak at military meetings.

However, if I don't tell everyone here the truth, I'm afraid you will put all the responsibility on our Logistics Support Department after something happens.

Let me tell you this, according to our real-time storage data, the time left for everyone here is indeed running out.

If there are still so many troops on the front line, and the subsequent player legions continue to keep up, then I can only guarantee the army's food and supplies for one month.

After a month, everyone will be hungry.

If you can immediately stop the follow-up of the player's army and prevent players from continuing to teleport from the Adventurer World, then I can guarantee the logistics of the army for a month and a half.

Please note that what I am talking about is the most extreme situation. It does not mean that we only need to withdraw the troops when the time is up.

If you delay until the end, the grain reserves in the entire Hunan region will be consumed by you.

By then we may not even be able to support a regular garrison of more than 100,000 people.

Therefore, what everyone needs to consider now is not only how to fight the next war, but also the issue of sustainable development.

After losing the Eastern Henan Plain, Nanyang Basin and the entire Hubei region, we no longer have the ability to support so many troops.

Although this result is very cruel, it is the naked reality.

Therefore, I hope that everyone here can end this war as soon as possible, and then conduct large-scale disarmament and eliminate some soldiers who are not strong enough from the army. We cannot afford to support so many idle people. "

Ma Tianming's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, which directly shocked everyone present.

As the largest guild alliance in China, occupying some of the best land in China, the Northern Expedition Alliance has never worried about food issues.

Because they store a large amount of grain every year, after so many years, their grain storage has been more than they can eat in decades.

However, they did not expect that just a few years ago, the fate of the Condor Empire would befall them.

Fortunately, they had ridiculed the Condor Empire for being so poor that they could only eat potatoes. Unexpectedly, they may have reached a situation where they can no longer even afford potatoes.

What they fight for in war is consumption. Without enough food, they are simply not qualified to compete with the enemy for consumption.

The Condor Empire at least had room to grow potatoes back then, but now their territory is so large and almost all the cultivated land has been used. Where can they grow potatoes?

Moreover, the reason why the Condor Empire was able to survive the great grain shortage was not only due to the large-scale planting of potatoes. The grain production of the Lost Continent, the Northeast Plains and Vietnam County also played a crucial role.

The most important thing is that the Condor Empire grabbed a large amount of ready-made food from the players in Silver City.

These various reasons allowed the Condor Empire to successfully survive the food shortage.

And these key factors are exactly what they don't have now.

They have now lost a lot of fertile land, and now only Hunan is left to survive. They have no place to farm even if they want to.

Let's rob it from other people's hands. The only target they can rob now is the Condor Empire.

If they had the strength to rob the Condor Empire, they would not be in this situation.

So Ma Tianming is right when he says that the only way they can do now is to end this war as soon as possible and then conduct large-scale disarmament.

However, the order to disarmament cannot be issued casually, because they are in the middle of a war and are facing a huge threat to their life and death.

If they disarmament rashly, what can they do to resist the attack of the Condor Empire?

And from Ma Tianming's tone, they can conclude that the first target of disarmament is definitely the large number of player armies.

Aboriginal soldiers can accept the fate of being disarmed and returning to the fields. After returning home, they can still contribute to the production of the territory, but player soldiers do not accept this.

If they were forcibly kicked out of the army, no one would know whether they would do anything drastic when they became angry.

And at this juncture, they have spent a lot of effort to get the persistence of these players.

If these players are really pushed into the arms of the Condor Empire because of disarmament, then they will definitely shoot themselves in the foot.

...

After Ma Tianming mentioned the logistical difficulties, the atmosphere in the conference room once again became extremely heavy. Everyone had a grimace on their faces, and no one dared to speak easily.

Seeing the sudden and terrifying silence in the conference room, Li Yufeng took a deep breath, stood up and said: "Everyone, first of all, I am very grateful for everyone's recognition and persistence in me and Lao Zhao.

However, everything should be done with the overall situation in mind. I cannot allow the coalition forces to take huge risks to help us cross the river when I know that they cannot do anything.

Although what President Ziqing said hurt me, it actually made sense.

Because the real winners throughout the ages have known how to make choices. Although those who value love and justice are praised by future generations, they are actually losers when it comes to making contributions.

If the coalition forces on the south bank suffer heavy losses as a result of assisting us to cross the river, it will actually be more than the gain for us.

Because we are not done after this battle, we will also face the fierce attack of the Condor Empire next.

Judging from the scale and tactical strategies of Ningyuan's winter offensive, he wanted to complete the unification of the Chinese region as soon as possible.

Therefore, the Condor Empire's army will not stop at the Yangtze River. They will definitely look for a breakthrough point and then break through.

These three colorful bridges are crucial to the Condor Empire's attack on the Jiangnan region, so we must destroy them all as soon as possible to avoid being recaptured by the Condor Army.

In addition to destroying the three colorful bridges as soon as possible, we should also immediately shift our target to strategic defense.

Without the Rainbow Bridge that can directly cross the Yangtze River, if the Condor Empire's army wants to attack Jiangnan, they can only rely on water transportation.

The most likely route for water transportation is from the Yangtze River into Dongting Lake.

Dongting Lake is vast and covers a very vast area.

If the naval fleet of the Condor Empire is allowed to control Dongting Lake, then the Condor Army can launch an attack on the surrounding areas of Dongting Lake at any time.

Therefore, I think the top priority is to find ways to consolidate the defense of the areas around Dongting Lake as soon as possible and build more beacons for transmitting information to avoid becoming blind again due to the intelligence blockade of the Condor Empire.

Regarding the disarmament issue mentioned by President Ma Tianming, I think a step-by-step approach can be adopted.

We should first explain to the players the difficulties we are encountering now, and then ask them if they are willing to participate in farming.

If they are unwilling, we will give them some compensation and let them temporarily return to the adventurer world to live the life they want.

If they are willing, try to arrange them to work in a place with mountains and water.

In this way, they can go fishing and hunting after working in the fields without feeling depressed or bored.

As for Lao Zhao and I's troops in the Jingzhou area, I personally think it is necessary to rescue them.

Of course, the rescue I am talking about does not mean that the coalition forces captured the Colorful Bridge in Jingzhou to connect us across the river, but that we took the initiative to move to the Wuhan area ourselves.

It is more than 200 kilometers from Jingzhou to Wuhan, passing through the two counties of Qianjiang and Xiantao on the way.

Taking this route, the greatest danger we can encounter comes from the sky.

If we hadn't obtained that batch of craftsmen before, Ningyuan would definitely have sent the Condor Air Force to intercept us with all its strength.

But after Ning Yuan has obtained those craftsmen, it is hard to say whether he will let the flying legion come to intercept us with all his strength.

So I planned to take a gamble and let Lao Zhao lead all the cavalry in the Jingzhou area to break out toward Wuhan along this route overnight.

I will let Old Zhao hand over the defense of Jingzhou City to his cousin, and let him lead the player army outside the city to continue to defend Jingzhou City.

As for the Colorful Bridge in Jingzhou, we need the coalition forces on the south bank. I hope you can destroy it as soon as possible. "
