Chapter 3594: Free people

Inside Jeju Naval Command.

"Despite the heavy losses of the Goguryeo Navy. However, we are unable to pursue the pursuit. More than half of our warships have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the remaining Second Destroyer Fleet needs to ensure that Jeju Island will not suffer greater losses. And the torpedo boats. The range is seriously insufficient, although they still have a considerable number of torpedo boats." The Chief of Staff said. In this attack, the torpedo boats played a very important role, launching an attack when the Koguryo fleet was in chaos. Their offense was very successful, because the opponent’s fleet was very chaotic, and their firepower could not be used quickly. In this case, their torpedo boat speed advantage was quickly displayed. Not only that, but their own. The casualties were also very small. Only three torpedo boats were hit by shells. Compared with the heavy losses of the Koguryo Navy, this loss is really nothing.

"I know at this point, what will happen if we continue the recent past?" Xue Hai said to his chief of staff.

"Maybe the Goguryeo navy will turn around and give us a hard time, so it is correct not to pursue. Our battle is over. The next thing is the diplomats. We can take a break. In addition, it is also correct. There are observers from South Korea and other countries who need some general experience reports. You can fix them as soon as possible. They need these things too much." Xue Hai arranged in this way.

"Yes. I will finish these as soon as possible." said the chief of staff. The General Staff has a dedicated department like this, and they need to keep a record of the battles that take place. Then make a summary. I hope they can continue to play out the experience they should have from this battle. These are precious wealth, and it is difficult to obtain wealth.

After the war, it is not only the request of the Koreans, but also the place where the Qin Navy hopes to learn. This time Jeju used a small navy and a small-tonnage speedboat to exert its huge combat capability has attracted many national navies. South Korea and Chu State have obtained a large amount of first-hand information. And the people of Qin can't wait to get some experience from these naval data. After all, they lack a lot of things in western Zhejiang. Their ports and shipyards are under active construction. In the future, they will have a larger naval force. The lack of experience of such a naval force cannot be supplemented all at once.

Seth country. The king looked at the sand table in the headquarters. Their situation is very bad.

"We need at least five or seven infantry divisions to confine the attack of such a large number of troops. Only three infantry divisions are impossible." The Secretary of the Army shook his head and said. However, so many soldiers were recruited at once. Their finances are unbearable. They have already received financial support from Zhaoguo Bank, but the number is too small. In many places, it cannot be maintained at all. Unless they increase taxes, they will not be able to do so at all.

But the problem is that if tax increases, it will cause extremely serious losses to the country. Freedmen who have just been liberated will bear a heavy burden. In that case, they will stand on the opposite side of the government and the country. This is the situation that the king least wants to see, and it is also a situation that he tried his best to avoid. Faced with such a situation, they should make some adjustments.

"I see." The king said exhaustedly. He turned around and rested on the stool, and the Secretary of the Army couldn't say anything. Their situation is really bad.

Eastern Dura Province and the two provinces of Thira in the east immediately dispatched 200,000 troops to intervene. They believed that the king was a tyrant and should not kill his ministers and nobles. They were innocent. So after the two provinces received the help of the Koreans, they each added 5,000 rifles, and then quickly dispatched 200,000 troops, and each of the two provinces dispatched 100,000 troops. They formed two groups, one from the south and the other. Departing from the east, the two armies govern three armies, each of which governs three infantry divisions. In addition, there are various guarantee units, such as cavalry, communications engineer and so on. At the beginning of the battle, they went smoothly to the two major military towns of Babylon, the capital of Seth. Tumer City and Dige City. Their soldiers have approached a hundred and fifty kilometers from Babylon. But the national defense of Seth is extremely empty.

The troops defending those places are old-fashioned troops, and half of the soldiers are equipped with cold weapons, and their morale is not very high. Because they were chaotic, some obeyed ministers, some obeyed nobles, kings and slaves. Wait, the composition is very complicated, the soldiers don't know what to think, and the officers have their own ideas, so when the rebel army attacked. They just made some slight resistance, and then surrendered. Escape to escape. There is no determination to resist.

The situation of the Seth army that lost two important military towns is very bad, because the king has only three infantry divisions with weak combat effectiveness, but the opponent has a strong force. The pressure is very high. Whether it can withstand the opponent's swift and violent attack. The king simply did not have enough confidence, in his opinion, everything may be over.

"I think about it. Maybe we have other ways." The king said, shaking his head. He didn't want to give up, because he was the king and he had such a responsibility. He didn't want Seth to collapse like this. This is not in line with his ideas.

"What can we do. It's good to do something to help them." Zhu Li asked military adviser Zhao Rui in a low voice. The highest rank here is only a major Zhao Jun. However, he is training soldiers, he is trying to improve the morale of soldiers as much as possible. Combat skills, however. These do not seem to be very useful. Because the enemy is still advancing and their situation is still deteriorating, all this is so unfavorable to them, which puts their situation in an extremely unfavorable state.

"This. We don’t seem to have a very good way. We can only defend and build two lines of defense. Maybe we can build more lines of defense and let those militias participate in the establishment. Maybe we may consume the enemy on the way and win some. Time. Only in this way, we may still have some opportunities, because the king does not have an extra reserve team in his hands." Zhao Rui said. After all, they are low-level military officers and lack certain strategic intentions, but this does not prevent them from viewing the national strategy from a tactical perspective. After all, they have their own strategic intentions.

"I think, clearly know, what do you think?" Zhu Li is not a soldier after all, and he can't tell what is the advanced military strategic intention.

"My idea is this. If we can involve the militias in the fight and resist layer by layer, despite their low combat ability, they are in large numbers. In this country, I have seen a lot of militias with great enthusiasm, and the king should send them. His guards inspire the militias, let them all participate, let all the free people participate, they can fight freely, they can form defensive battle lines, establish multiple, countless defensive lines, and let the two fast-moving rebels. As long as the army's speed is reduced, as long as this goal is achieved, we still have the possibility of victory, because the king has time in his hands." Zhao Rui said.

"At present, we lack enough time. This is very bad for us. We lack a lot of time. Only in this way can we buy more time to make up for our lack of time." Zhao Rui said.

"The problem is, how to pay them, how to make them willingly follow us to fight, you know. We can't do this." Zhu Li said.

"Well, I've thought about this issue. Maybe give them some assets, such as land. Anyway, I see a lot of aristocratic lands in their hands. These lands are also free. It is better to give them. If you have land, free people. They will definitely fight frantically. They will definitely do it for their own homeland. In addition, there are some rewards and so on. In short, there are a lot of things that can be done, assets. I don’t know what the economy says, but as long as there are enough Many benefits, I believe. Those militias will actively participate in the battle because it is good for them. If you wait for the offensive troops to arrive, the situation will be very bad. We must hurry. Otherwise, the longer we delay. , The more disadvantaged." Zhao Rui said. Because the depth of Seth is running out a little bit, one hundred and fifty kilometers is really very tight, as long as the opponent launches a fierce attack, they will rush over at once, and they are unprepared. In short, it was a huge disaster.

"Okay." Zhu Li nodded, agreeing. But the king was thinking about a series of ideas of this young officer. Under such circumstances, it seemed that the king could only rely on the free people who had just been liberated. Because it is because of them that they have reached this point, if they can stand up and resist, everything is still hopeful. The king thought so. He felt that the words of the young officer could still be trusted.

And at this moment. The two armies that had captured two important military towns suddenly stopped. They didn’t know the specific reason. Many officers and soldiers were unwilling to move forward anyway. Because the military pay and their supplies were not in place, the soldiers had to resort to private robbery to obtain supplements, because the things their leaders promised were not implemented. This made the officers and soldiers feel a little abnormal, so they took a series of measures to solve these problems, in their opinion. These things are understandable to them, this is what they deserve.
