Chapter 969: Thomas's Counterattack
Somewhere outside the city of Rome.
The Flame Baron and his party gathered together, all looking worried, but no one spoke. It wasn't until Thomas arrived that the silence was broken.
Thomas couldn't help but sigh when he saw the worried looks of the Flame Baron and the others. These children of big families have obviously been psychologically shadowed by the water masters of the paradise of others.
No, when I learned that the Xanadu Sailor gave up the interests of the South Seas and handed them over to the players in the Huaxia Region and the South Seas Alliance to deal with the affairs of the rebels, he came directly to Egypt, and everyone lost their square inch.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. There is no such thing as a perfect script.
I judged that the Paradise Sailor would not give up his interests in Nanyang to protect Egypt, and there was nothing wrong with this. After all, Nanyang is the interests of the sailors themselves, and Egypt is only the interests of those oil tyrants.
Now people have decisively given up Nanyang to save Egypt, although it is unexpected, it is not impossible to do so, the key is what made Lu Yao make this decision.
It's a matter of what to do next.
"Gentlemen, if you lose your fighting spirit, then we will simply surrender to him." Thomas knew that the most important thing to do at the moment was to sweep away the shadows in everyone's hearts, otherwise he really couldn't continue.
The agitation method really worked.
I love Black Widow almost jumped up in response, like a wounded beast, and roared with red eyes: "Never! ”
Infected by my love for Black Widow, a few people have clamored, saying that even if they lose everything in the family, they will fight to the death with the Paradise Water Master.
The others were not stupid either, and immediately understood, scrambling to say that America would never give in. No one knows the deal. There was one person present, and everyone except Thomas was under a lot of pressure. This time can be called everyone's last chance to turn around.
Hello everyone, continue to represent the family and add a lot of chips to the future inheritance.
If you lose, you have to go back to your own home, find your own mother, and be honest as a rice worm and wait for death.
Thomas doesn't care that everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts. All he wants is morale, if he has morale, then he can still fight, otherwise he has to lie dormant for the time being, waiting for the major families to elect new spokespersons before cooperating.
Chicken soup for the soul is easy to cook, but it also needs dry goods.
Thomas followed suit with the first gift: "I have negotiated with Sir William. He will do everything he can to prevent the Queen from entering the Mediterranean. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, with a happy face.
The original plan was to let Yingdao enter the Mediterranean Sea to aid Egypt, and then unite with the matadors to send troops to encircle and annihilate them, so as to kick off the prelude to the First World War in the virtual world according to the original plan, so that everyone can fish in troubled waters and save their image.
However, the Xanadu Sailor suddenly entered, and it was obvious that it could not be implemented according to the original plan. Those two joined forces, and then united the matador, it was only a thousand miles away.
However, Thomas was also quite decisive, and it was only then that everyone knew that the Hideaway sailors had begun to act as early as the moment they entered the Strait of Malacca, encouraging Sir William of the British Isles to contain the Queen of England and prevent the British Isles from meeting with the Arcadia Mariners in Alexandria.
As a result, everyone looked at Thomas with anticipation.
Thomas soon gave a second gift: "The day before yesterday I had a meeting with Julius Caesar. He said that he would gather twenty legions and attack Alexandria again. ”
Everyone was in an uproar again, and the joy in their eyes was even stronger.
This is the case in war, where the attacking side will always have an advantage over the defending side. It is also cheaper to fight on someone else's turf than to fight on home soil. This was the case in Greater America in the first place, and it took advantage of the two world wars, which established the status of the world's largest power.
Julius Caesar brazenly assembled twenty legions, which greatly alleviated the dilemma of insufficient troops, otherwise how could he hear that the Paradise Water Division was coming to Egypt, and immediately ran away.
What's more, the Xanadu Sailor is certainly too awesome to want, but the weakness of not being good at land warfare is there. You can't capture Alexandria, and Egypt has such a long coastline, where you can't land. The boundaries of Egypt are not good, can we go to North Africa and land?
You have what it takes to take your fleet to land.
Seeing the crowd's anger rising, Thomas smiled faintly: "I firmly believe that the final winner of this war belongs to us." ”
This cannon immediately made everyone scream and high-five each other in celebration, as if they had lifted the corner of the skirt of the goddess of victory and saw that deep black.
Only the Flame Baron did not participate from beginning to end, and his expression was hesitant. To tell the truth, after listening to the two big gifts sent by Thomas, he was also enthusiastic and excited, but when he thought of Lu Yao, he immediately calmed down.
"Everyone."
The Flame Baron suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's excitement: "What Major General Thomas said makes sense, but will we ignore something?" ”
"What?" Good friend, I love Black Widow and I don't understand.
"Those oil tyrants. Their sea power has been completely destroyed by us, but the strength on land should not be underestimated. As we all know, Egypt is a strategic location that they value very much. I fear that they will do whatever it takes to defend Egypt. The Flame Baron expressed his inner concern.
"It's not hard to solve. I have sent to the Hebrew Empire. The Jews would make them look away from Egypt. Thomas was a watertight and understated answer.
The Hebrew Empire he refers to is certainly not a player, but a state founded by Jewish NPCs entrenched on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. Jews and Arabs have always had irreconcilable contradictions around the holy city of Jerusalem. He was confident in pulling the Hebrew Empire into his chariot.
After all, NPCs are not players and are more traditional.
The Flame Baron was speechless, and although he still had an indescribable sense of unease in his heart, he could only choose to accept it. Thomas has taken care of all the details to convince him.
The others were even more surprised to see that Thomas had no last resort. In their opinion, as long as they avoid the superiority of the Xanadu sailors on the sea, victory can only belong to themselves.
Seeing that the morale was available, Thomas immediately added another fire: "Caesar needs a month to mobilize a large army from the provinces, and during this time, I hope you can contact as many allies as possible, whether they are potential or known." You know, once we conquer Egypt, we probably won't have that much time. ”
This little humor immediately drew a smile from everyone.
The essence of war is all about interests. The capture of Egypt is tantamount to announcing to the world that there is great benefit to be gained from our side. Driven by interests, it will inevitably attract many forces. It's like a snowball, when the time comes, your own strength will grow stronger and stronger until it is enough to crush the whole world, thus defining a new pattern for the whole world.
Lobbying is not an easy task. Thomas didn't delay everyone's time, and soon broke up the meeting, leaving everyone to hurry up and arrange.
At this time, no one noticed that a fleet sailed out of Alexandria at night.
