The Kingdom of Yadud, the royal capital is Dilo City.

The royal palace, at the imperial military meeting.

"All the peripheral kingdoms have fallen, the first line of defense collapsed, and our second line of defense was exposed to the Army of Light. It won't be long before the second line of defense will also be attacked by the Army of Light."

"Your Excellency Wang Fu, should we send out a large number of troops to fully support the 12 neighboring countries on the second line of defense? These neighboring countries are asking for help from us and begging us to provide support!"

"Didn't we already dispatch 200,000 elite troops last month? Are you asking for help so soon?" a general asked in confusion.

"It's not enough. The Holy See of Light has 10 million troops. We have to send at least one million elite troops to barely have enough."

"But there are only two million regular troops available in the kingdom. If we withdraw half of them, wouldn't the kingdom's defense strength be insufficient?"

"Aren't there still 6 million second-line military forces?"

"Most of these forces are workers and farmers. They are insufficiently trained and lack discipline, making them difficult to take on big responsibilities." Earl Theon, who was in charge of military training, shook his head.

"Then it's better to send these second-line troops there and keep all the elite troops at home."

"This is even worse! If you do this, the second line of defense will not last long, and the troops sent are just cannon fodder to die." Another minister shook his head.

"This won't work, that won't work either, so what should we do?" An old earl frowned and shook his head.

"Your Majesty the Queen! Your Majesty the King!"

General Klimans, who was in charge of the kingdom's military affairs, bowed to his superiors and said: "Since we have already formulated a strategy before, we must ensure that the war does not occur in the Kingdom of Yadud, prevent the war from spreading to the kingdom, and try to fight a war with less damage. external war, so..."

He cupped his hands and said, "We still have to send out another batch of reinforcements."

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "General Klimans is right. Let's do this. Send another 300,000 elite troops and 500,000 second-line troops, a total of one million troops, to support the 12 neighboring countries on the second line of defense. country!"

"In fact, if possible, it would be best for us to use the second line of defense to block the Legion of Light and keep the enemy out of the country!"

War has internal and external fronts, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of fighting an internal war is that the supply line is short, it is convenient to obtain supplies, more sufficient resources can be mobilized, and it has the advantage of being familiar with the geographical location.

The disadvantage is that war will cause huge damage to one's own infrastructure and war potential, and may cause crippling property and personnel losses, which is equivalent to letting wolves, tigers and leopards enter your home.

The advantages and disadvantages of fighting an external war are opposite to those of an internal war. The disadvantages of an external war are that it is difficult to supply, the terrain is not very familiar, and there are few resources that can be mobilized. The advantage is that it will cause less damage to the country's personnel and property and will not seriously damage the country. war potential!

There is no doubt that considering the huge destructive power of war, high-level decision-makers in any country would of course hope to fight an external war to keep the war away from the homeland, so that the people of the country can live and work in peace and contentment, and reduce the damage of the war to the country!

Of course Zhou Ming also wants to keep the enemy out of the country, but...

The Kingdom of Yadud only has about two million regular troops, so it has no problem defending its borders. But if it wants to support 12 neighboring countries, even if each neighboring country supports an average of 50,000 elite troops, multiplied by 12, it will have to send 600,000 elite troops. Out of 30% of the family fortune.

Not to mention the huge logistical pressure this has brought, each neighboring country has only 50,000 troops. Facing an army of light that is ten or twenty times the number, trying to block this offensive is undoubtedly a matter of luck and probability. The chances of winning are Not very high.

It can also easily lead to confusion in command and all kinds of overwhelming problems.

The most important thing is that spreading 600,000 elite troops on a defense line with a defensive front of more than 20,000 miles cannot form an airtight defense network. The Army of Light, which has an absolute advantage in numbers, has countless offensive lines. Breaking through this defensive network... No matter how powerful the Yadud Kingdom's firearms regiment is, they cannot completely defend it.

If you want to fight an external war and keep the enemy out of the country, you have to use all your trump cards and use a huge army close to the Army of Light to have a head-on confrontation with the Army of Light on the second line of defense!

only……

The defense of the Yadud Kingdom is empty. Once there is a flaw or failure in a certain direction, a certain unit of the Army of Light can march straight in and attack the Yadud Kingdom...

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

So what should Zhou Ming do?

What strategy should the Yadud Kingdom adopt to deal with this war?

After some discussion.

Zhou Ming and the others formulated a safe and sound combat plan that took into account external operations.

That is, the Great Wall of Border + Fortress Plan for Neighboring Countries.

On the border of the Yadud Kingdom, build a tall Great Wall with a total length of more than 10,000 miles, allocate 70% of the troops and 50% of the resources, and build a Great Wall that is "impossible" to be breached.

Among the 12 neighboring countries surrounding the Kingdom of Yadud, 186 giant defensive fortresses were built at 186 important passes and battlegrounds for military strategists, with 30% of the troops and 50% of the resources allocated, becoming "nails" one after another. , the Legion of Light wants to continue to march, if these nails are not pulled out, even if they can go around, they will be like thorns in the back, feeling uncomfortable all over, subject to various restrictions and constraints, and falling into embarrassment and passivity.

The 12 neighboring countries that constitute the second line of defense each have some troops, ranging from 58,000 to 100,000 to 200,000...a total of about one million regular troops.

After recruiting a large number of strong farmers and mobilizing them with all their strength, the 12 neighboring kingdoms can gather a defense force of 3 million people... Of course, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of these 3 million people will definitely be average, but giving them 100 After % is equipped with firearms, it should not be a big problem to withstand the Army of Light with 3 million people at a ratio of 1:1.

In addition to the 186 fortresses in these kingdoms, and the nearly 2 million-strong Yadud Kingdom army...

The most conservative estimate is that there is no problem in blocking five million Legions of Light!

In addition, during the offensive and defensive war on the second line of defense, Zhou Ming completely liberalized the use of strategic weapons.

In other words, in the coming war, the secret weapons secretly developed by the Yadud Kingdom's military industrial system, after nearly a year of mass production, can finally be put on the battlefield and show off their fierce fangs.

A huge surprise for the Army of Light!

When they heard this, the noble ministers who attended the imperial meeting were all shocked!

Those few nobles who knew the situation of strategic weapons were even more ecstatic and cheered loudly!

"Our strategic weapon can finally be launched!"

"Isn't it great to have more people? With more people, do you want to do whatever you want? With these strategic weapons, I am not afraid that your Army of Light will have too many people!"

"Not bad! I'll kill as many as you want!"

"In the face of these new weapons, what does it matter no matter how devout the faith of the fanatical believers in the Holy See is? With a bang, a paladin will be shattered to pieces!"

"I heard that our production of strategic weapons is enough to equip one million people. That's good, very good! With these weapons, even if the God of Light comes in front of me, I will no longer be afraid! Hum hum, God, I will The bombardment kills the gods!”

"Sure, after making all arrangements and preparations, we just need to wait for news of victory. If the situation is more optimistic, maybe we can completely annihilate the Legion of Light on the second line of defense! By then..."

The noble's eyes shone brightly and he said: "We are justice, we are light, we are rules, we... are gods!"
