In the distant Yanhe River system, in September 869 of the cosmic calendar, Sun Tiejian received a notice from Han Wenzheng, and after reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhou Xuemei: "Father is father, and he is really unparalleled in wisdom, this impossible thing has been done by him, and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." After reading this notice, Zhou Xuemei said: "Although our army's overall strategy has improved, my father wants us to transfer most of the main force to slaughter the Tiger River system, which is not good for our department. At least, quite unfavorable in a short period of time. ”

Sun Tiejian smiled and said, "Not necessarily. Although my father asked us to transfer troops to the Tiger River system, it was not immediately set off today, according to the calculation of time, it would not be too late in another fifty years, and besides, the Destruction of the Tiger Empire was our established strategy, and my father transferred my main force away, so naturally we had to find a way to strengthen the combat power of our army, if there was no accident, the eldest brother would come back. ”

Zhou Xuemei was stunned: "Big brother is coming back, that's a good thing." "It's naturally a good thing for me and Zeshan and others, but it's not necessarily a good thing for middle and low-level personnel, all of this depends on my father's arrangement, but the biggest possibility is that the eldest brother is just holding a temporary position and doesn't care about anything." "It's a nuisance. ”

Zhao Tieyun came back, Sun Tiejian and other first-generation clansmen were of course welcomed, and with Zhao Tieyun coming back to share the work of the government, Zhang Zeshan naturally couldn't ask for it. It's just that the two forces have been separated for a long time, and the clansmen who have been born in the last seven hundred years only know that there is such a person as Zhao Tieyun, who has never seen it, but now he is back and serves as a high-level member of the government, which is more or less a little resistant, now. The Yanhuang clan can be said to be divided into three major factions. Zhao Tieyun, Sun Tiejian, and Zhou Tiehu. One person, one faction, the battle between this faction is just the beginning, although it has not yet developed to the stage of life and death, but it is obvious that there are already signs of this.

At the meeting, Sun Tiejian informed everyone of the news, and said later: "Zeshan." It's up to you to calm everyone's emotions. "There's no problem with this, when the eldest brother comes back, I'll be much more relaxed, so I don't have hot eyes when I see the fifth brother helping you." Zhang Zeshan said with a blush. Originally, the work tasks of him and Sun Tiejian were not much different, but after the merger of the two departments, Zhou Tiehu served as the chief of the general staff of the whole army, and Sun Tiejian's work was naturally a lot easier, but no one came to share his work, Zhang Zeshan has really been red for a long time, now. Zhao Tieyun, who has the strongest internal affairs ability of the Yanhuang clan, is back, and he is happy to be relaxed.

Guan Tiebing said: "We have to transfer most of the main force to slaughter the Tiger River system. This is a great weakening of our strength, and it will be at least a hundred years before the big brother returns, but our army will set off in fifty years, so there will be a vacuum in the strength of our army. Therefore, I believe that our army's strategy needs to be adjusted in order to avoid problems that will be out of control at that time. ”

In the past few decades, the Yanhuang clan has been accumulating strength, only launching limited-scale attacks, which belong to the level of small fights, and the strength of the troops does not exceed ten front army groups at most. The Yanhuang Clan has been working together to digest the territory they have occupied for decades, but they have found that their manpower is still too small, and many planets can only be vacant for the time being, and there is no manpower to develop them at all. In addition, the talents cultivated over the years have basically been used up, and more talents need to be cultivated if we want to occupy more territory. So, they don't have the ability to expand even bigger right now.

There is also a deeper problem to consider: when the more territory is occupied, the more troops are needed, and this is simply a multiplier, for example, when only one theater of operations is occupied, 200 front army groups can achieve a relatively good defense, but when three theaters are occupied, there is no defense at all without 800 front army groups. If the six theaters are occupied, there is no way to guarantee their own security without 2,000 front army groups. Therefore, even if the Yanhuang Clan defeated the defenders of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, would the Yanhuang Clan have so many troops to defend? No, in the past few decades, they have only accumulated the strength of 500 front army groups, which are a little insufficient to defend the three theaters, so it is basically impossible to draw a large number of troops to attack.

The larger the territory occupied, the larger the area defended by the troops, because the mobility of the troops is limited, the longer it takes to reach the border, the longer the border line to defend, once the enemy breaks through the defense of the border line, the consequences are absolutely disastrous. Both the Yanhuang Clan and the Heavenly Tiger Empire are not good people, and they will carry out massacres against civilians, so once the Heavenly Tiger Army breaks through the border and enters the war zone, the price to be paid is absolutely heavy, so heavy that all races cannot afford it.

Because of this, when the Heavenly Tiger Empire, which has a huge strength of 10,000 front army groups, can concentrate all its strength on attacking the Yanhuang Clan, the limit is only able to draw out 3,000 to 4,000 front army groups, accounting for only 40% of the country's total strength. In the same way, the Shenguang Clan has a huge number of troops, but it is not too much that can really be used on the battlefield, and its own local defense needs a huge number of troops.

Forty years ago, Sun Tiejian and others deeply realized this. All along, the battles they fought were only offensive, or guerrilla warfare, and there was nothing to defend at all, and when defending the western theater, they only concentrated the main force to defend the Xuanwu fortress group and the storm fortress, so the troops used for internal defense did not need too much. Therefore, their understanding of war is somewhat erroneous. Now, when they have mastered the huge star fields of the three theaters, they suddenly find that the experience of the previous war is no longer applicable, and if they use the previous tactics to get all the troops out of the army to fight, they have so many troops in their hands, and once they draw the main force to attack, their own local defense line will become a sieve, full of loopholes, and it will not be able to defend at all, and the enemy may drill through these loopholes at any time to cause sabotage.

Therefore, after many meetings, Sun Tiejian and them realized this problem. There was an immediate shift in strategic thinking. In addition to vigorously expanding the forces in their own hands. It's more important to assemble your own line of defense. Over the years, the Heavenly Tiger Empire has repeatedly drilled out of the loopholes in the defensive line, but fortunately, there is a dark line of the Yan and Huang clans within the Heavenly Tiger Empire, and a lot of information has been provided in a timely manner, which has avoided major losses. Otherwise, they would have already paid a huge price in the morning.

It can be said that the Yanhuang people have been able to live a peaceful life over the years. Steadily developing their own strength, the elite division and the main division played an unusually huge role in intelligence. The Heavenly Tiger Army has no secrets in the eyes of the Yanhuang Clan, and all its actions are almost known to the Yanhuang Clan in advance, and the Yanhuang Clan can take countermeasures in advance to minimize losses. However, now a large number of elite divisions and main divisions must be dispatched to slaughter the Tiger River system, so that there will be a huge vacuum in their intelligence network due to lack of manpower. It is no longer possible to provide information on all aspects as before. In this way, the Yanhuang clan will have problems.

Therefore, Guan Tiebing thinks. It is necessary to transfer troops, but we must first do our job well. Without the elite division and the main division, it is necessary to develop its own intelligence network through other aspects to ensure that major events will not be missed because of the lack of the main force.

For Guan Tiebing's proposal, everyone thinks so. Sun Tiejian asked: "Tie Bing, what about your opinion?" "All along, our army's intelligence network has only started from three aspects. First, our army penetrated into the top echelons of the enemy's army. The second is the intelligence network set up by No. 3. The third is the intelligence personnel sent by our army against the enemy. However, the situation has changed a lot. When our two armies are in a strategic stalemate, many times it is no longer the top command to issue orders, but the initiative in the battle is put in the hands of the junior officers, so the initiative of the junior officers is actively increased, and they can act freely, so it is inevitable that there will be loopholes in the first intelligence system of our army. ”

The crowd understood. "Second, the main force of the intelligence network of No. 3 is within the empire, and there are too few intelligence personnel assigned to the four major theaters, so at present, the second intelligence system can no longer provide us with much useful front-line intelligence. Also, because they are too far away from us, it is also a question whether the intelligence on the front line can be delivered to us in time. ”

"As for the third intelligence system, with the withdrawal of the main force of our army, there will naturally be an intelligence vacuum, and sixty percent of our intelligence comes from the third intelligence network, so what we have to fill is also this part of the loophole. I suggest that we can take the following approach. First, to develop our intelligence officers in the Tigers. Second, give full play to our army's Warcraft intelligence system. Third, let the intelligence network of the third tilt towards the four theaters of operations on the front line. Guan Tiebing seems to have thought about this issue for a long time.

Sun Tiejian asked, "Do you have any additional opinions?" "No, Brother Guan has already planned and planned, and we think that Brother Guan will be responsible for this work." "You slackers, don't even think about it, I'm the one who came up with the idea, and I'm the one who does the hard work, so what are you going to do? Guan Tiebing laughed and scolded, he was not fooled by this.

Sun Tiejian smiled and said: "The burden on the iron soldier is already very heavy, although I think that talented people must make the best use of their talents, but they can't use the iron soldier to death." So, Ouyang, you are in charge of the intelligence work, how about it?" Ouyang Tielong, who had been one of Sun Tiejian's deputies for many years, smiled bitterly and said, "I'll do whatever the third brother says." He knew he couldn't run away.

Sun Tiejian said: "Because the strategy has changed, therefore, our army's strategy also needs to be adjusted, from now on, our army will take a defensive position, just maintain a certain military pressure on the Tianhu Army, in the next 100 years, our army does not need to take too big an offensive, try to defend our army's current occupation area, develop our strength." This is the strategy of our army headquarters. As for the strategy of the four kingdoms, it can also be adjusted accordingly, and a stronger offensive can be taken against the Heavenly Tiger Empire, making the Heavenly Tiger Empire a little more chaotic, and no longer able to send more reinforcements to the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea. By the time Big Brother returns, we should have enough troops to attack. ”

Everyone agreed to this strategic plan. Then there are the tactical approaches to this strategy. All units can do a lot of these, so naturally Sun Tiejian doesn't need to think too much. Now Sun Tiejian has become more and more Han Wenzheng's demeanor, and many times, he only makes strategic instructions, and the specific work is completed by officials at all levels below.
