Chapter 366 (1/2)
Everyone knows what ”change of guard” means.
For the northwest army, their snobbery covers half of the nurin provinces, and they have been operating in the Northwest for 20 years. If they ”change their guard” at this time, they will leave their territory. If a tree has no roots, it will die.
Moreover, the northwest army has not listened to any orders of the Empire for 20 years, but it still bears the name of Imperial Army in name.
For Lu Gao, the commander of the northwest army, he was also very clear that this was the last signal of the Empire.
It's a life-threatening decision. Or, accept the imperial order, then wait for their own is to the north after the collapse of the Empire.
Or, to refuse the order of the Empire's change of defense, the Empire must be ready for it. As long as they refuse, they will be charged with ”disobeying military orders”, ”Treason” and other charges, which will be suppressed with high sounding. Next, there will be... War.
At the end of this year, the Empire recruited new soldiers on a large scale. Then, in the northwest, Dewey had 100000 troops, governor Bohan was also actively preparing for the war, and the imperial city guards transferred a division to the West... All these things were very obvious.
On the other hand, the northwest army seems to have very few troops mobilized.
Lugao was also very clear in his heart that all his previous powers had been threatening the Empire because the Empire was not sure to fight a civil war that would hurt him. For the sake of stability, for the sake of peace on the surface, the central empire was not willing to launch a civil war.
But now, I don't know why, the young Regent made such a determination!
Lugao knew better that once the Empire had made up its mind. If civil war is to be launched even at a certain price. Then the strength comparison between the two sides, losing must be their own. No matter in terms of population, military strength, war potential and so on, I am just a local warlord, and I am facing a huge empire.
When ”blackmail” has lost its effect, then you should make the smartest decision.
Fort Watt, northwest army. Northwest army commander's mansion.
The hall was silent. Lugao was sitting at the top of the hall. He was very small, but his eyes full of pressure made the generals feel heavy.
”No more talking?” Lu Gao said coldly: ”life and death is now! The Regent boy of the empire made it clear that he wanted our lives. Didn't everyone have any opinions? ”
All the generals below were silent. No one spoke, but. In everyone's heart, there is a trace of discontent with lugao.
of vital importance? What did you do! For a whole year, the Empire has been deploying troops. We all know these things. They all suggested that Lu Gao make a decision as soon as possible, but this general has done nothing in the past year. Almost so sit still, let the Empire put the noose around his neck!
Now... What else can we do now!!
Many generals can't help but show their faces when they think so. Lu Gao saw it in his eyes, wrote it down in his heart, and said slowly: ”I know that many people have some ideas in their hearts now, but it's not the time for infighting. We need to unite... I think you all know very well. What's our attitude towards the Empire in the past few years! Then, you can think that if we are really finished, the Empire will not forgive anyone here. No one can be forgiven for the great crime of treason. Since we want to live, we need to work together. ”
It was these words that moved a lot of people, and immediately some people began to express their views.
Some places said they could send people to the grassland immediately. Find a big tribe that has a secret relationship with you. Ask them to send troops immediately to attack the province of Desa, and create a chaotic situation of ”foreign invasion” first. To disrupt the situation in the northwest, then our Northwest army can refuse to go to the north on the pretext of ”foreign invasion, military emergency”. Even can secretly help grassland people, to the tulip Duke hit!
Lu Gao looked at the person who put forward the idea and sneered in his heart.
Grassland people? At this time, there is no need to count on grassland people.
Lugao also received the news on the grassland. Now the major tribes on the grassland have become a mess. You beat me and I beat you, and they all covet the position of the grassland king. Moreover, that Saladin... Lugao just thought about it a little, and then he guessed that behind Saladin must be Duwei! Grassland people are now too busy to help themselves. Where do they have the opportunity to send troops to help themselves?
What's more... His son couldn't kill Baihe, and he had completely torn his face with Daxueshan. Baihechou is the king of witchcraft. As long as he gives an order, which tribe on the grassland dares to help himself?
Alas... It's just a pity that Sebastian missed such a good opportunity!! The White River worries about the serious injury and is powerless, this kind of opportunity is not often had!!
Other generals suggested that they immediately attack the province of DESAR, concentrate their strength on defeating duvi's army with their own superior forces, then seize the opportunity to occupy the province of DESAR, seize the strategic reserves accumulated by the tulip Duke, and then fight a war of attrition with the Empire.
However, few people agree with such a proposal.
Some people think that we should start our troops immediately, concentrate our troops and go eastward with all our strength before the Empire starts. Then we can defeat the imperial capital as soon as possible. As long as we can conquer the imperial capital and destroy the royal family in the first World War, we will occupy the imperial capital and hijack the Imperial Palace and noble ministers. Then, as long as we send an address, we can spread it all over the mainland.
If everything goes well, then the world is ours! Destroy the Augustine Dynasty, and then lugao can be emperor!
The plan is bold and ambitious. It was immediately approved by many generals, and everyone thought about the possibility of this plan.
From Fort watt to the imperial capital, if it's a fast March, the elite cavalry can go to the capital in seven days. Moreover, the Empire's strength is not enough, and two divisions were dispatched to the north to replenish the Legion. Then he sent a division eastward to monitor himself. Now, there is only one division with 20000 troops stationed in the imperial capital. In addition, a division was mobilized from the southern army. However, the southern army was always considered to be the weakest in the main battle army of the Empire, and the northwest army generally did not look up to those guys.
It's just two divisions. With our strength, we can crush them in the first World War!
As long as you can occupy the imperial capital... Then, what is impossible?
Lugo didn't speak. Just listen to the discussion of these guys.
He was sneering in his heart.
He's ambitious, but he won't be arrogant.
In fact, Lu Gao has always been very clear that with his strength, he threatened the imperial capital with ”war”. When the imperial capital was unwilling to fight civil war, he naturally gained the upper hand. You have what you want. However, once the imperial capital made up its mind to fight, it would lose its greatest reliance.
Relying on the strength of the northwest army, it is almost impossible to attack the imperial capital in the first World War.
If it's a normal city. For example, the provincial capital of nurin, or even Loulan city in Duwei, maybe it's still possible.
But imperial capital?
Not to mention running all the way for seven days and nights, will there be resistance and interception on the way
