76. Cannibalization Strategy (3)
"We occupy the four major theaters, not because the strength of our army has far surpassed the Tianhu Army, but because the Tianhu Army chose a strategic retreat under the blow of my sister-in-law's troops, so although our army occupied a large part of the territory of the Tianhu Empire, its strength did not suffer much loss, plus the supplement of their rear, the Tianhu Army still has the strength to fight, at least, all our troops are transferred, and if we fight to the death with the Tianhu Army, the victory or defeat is only five or five, therefore, there is no battle with more than eighty percent of the chance of victory, my Sun Tiejian will not fight, I will not joke with the lives of the soldiers。 In the last sentence, Sun Tiejian said extremely seriously, which is also the purpose of the Yanhuang clan: not to fight uncertain battles.
"Besides, our occupation of the four major theaters does not mean that we will be able to complete the transformation of the four major theaters, and there are still many problems in the four theaters, and it will take at least 50 to 100 years for the people in the four theaters to completely submit to us, serve us, and obey our rule. If we rashly cross the four major theaters of war to attack the Tianhu Army, the hidden hands of the Tianhu Army lurking in the four theaters may attack us, and at that time, it will be us who will be uncomfortable, and it will be us who will be threatened to the logistics supply line. Therefore, from this point of view alone, before we completely straighten out the four major theaters, at least, before we have eliminated the secret hands of the Heavenly Tiger Army, I will definitely not launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the Heavenly Tiger Army. It was an extremely risky battle, and I don't fight this kind of battle. ”
"This time we occupied the four major war zones, and with the help of Marshal Takayama and Marshal Tempest, a large number of civilians of the Heavenly Tiger Empire surrendered. This has greatly increased our strength. It's good for us. However, behind the good things, it has also brought us more serious security risks, the main reason is that we can no longer use the original officials of these civilians, so we have to send a large number of officials to the four major war zones, everyone, that is a population of 1.5 billion. As many as 15 million administrative stars and more than 50 million mining stars, how many officials do we need? We have officials, but there are not many qualified officials, and if we send out unqualified officials, even Marshal Takayama and Marshal Storm will not agree. Then again, if we want to clear the dark lines and all kinds of lurking personnel left by Tianhu Tiehai in the four major war zones, in addition to military strikes, what is more important is all the dispatched officials, and these officials are doing a good job. Our cleanup will be much easier, and vice versa. It will be extremely difficult for us to carry out the clearance work, and if the clearance work is not completed in one day, our strategy of major counteroffensive will not be implemented. ”
According to the regulations of the Yanhuang clan, if the clansmen are sent to be officials and do a good job, they will have great merit, and this is a good opportunity for meritorious service. However, they all understand that it is absolutely impossible to send officials to the occupied areas, and it is absolutely impossible to send ordinary officials, and if the strength is insufficient, it will only let the hidden personnel of the Tianhu Army lead the way, and they will be sold and help them to make money. If virtue is insufficient, as soon as you arrive at the occupied area, you start to scrape the ground, even if you don't scrape to the level of three feet high and two and a half feet high, then it is strange that the civilians of the Heavenly Tiger Empire in the four major theaters do not rebel. If it was before, the Heavenly Tiger Empire rebelled and rebelled, anyway, Sun Tiejian had already issued a massacre order, if he dared to rebel, there would be a massacre, and there would be no problem, but now it is different, Sun Tiejian has already mentioned Gao Shan Yuanyue and Storm Iron Armor twice, that is to say, the surrenderers of the Heavenly Tiger Empire now have a backer, and they can no longer engage in massacres, otherwise, if they provoke these two, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat in the future. On the contrary, it is better to slap these two for a while, and get along better in the future.
This is calculated that everyone can fight, such a requirement, if you want to send a large number of qualified officials, there are really not many officials, there are still relatively few subordinate races of officials, the area of the four major theaters is too large, and the officials needed are too many, even if they have cultivated countless talents after the battle of Storm Fortress, they can't produce so many qualified officials. After mentally calculating, the deputies found that the officials were still not enough. If there are not enough officials, it is useless to occupy more territory, and there is no management. In this way, it would be a waste of troops to go to war again.
Sun Tiejian laid out one truth after another, and his purpose was only one: he was not capable of launching a counteroffensive at this stage. Regarding Sun Tiejian's analysis, whether the delegates attending the meeting understood it or didn't understand it, they all knew that Sun Tiejian was determined not to fight a counterattack.
After Sun Tiejian had finished explaining all the reasons, a representative asked: "Commander-in-chief, then we won't do anything?" "Of course not, the war still has to be fought, but whether it is a big war, but a small war, and a small battle is a big battle, this time, we have to change the way of playing, and this is exactly the purpose of this meeting." "What's the way to play?"
"If our army wants to counterattack the Heavenly Tiger Army and destroy the military strength of the Heavenly Tiger Empire in one fell swoop, then, our army also needs at least more than 6,000 front army groups, and at this stage, our army only has 1,000 front army groups, which is too far from the number of 6,000 front army groups, so now, what we have to do is to keep recuperating, train our warriors, produce more warships, and enhance our strength. Accumulate enough strength and annihilate the army of the Heavenly Tiger Empire in one fell swoop. ”
"Fighting, that's a very money-consuming thing, when the cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold, this is my old saying of the Yanhuang clan. War requires the consumption of a huge amount of materials, and with our current productive forces, it is still barely feasible to support 3,000 front army groups, and to say that supporting 6,000 front army groups requires a threefold increase in our production capacity. The total scale of this economy should be tripled, and it is definitely not possible to do it in a short period of time, whether it is the development of various planets, the development of mining stars, and various resource problems, etc., all of which will take time to solve, so it is a great blessing if we can complete our goal of expanding our army by 6,000 in 600 years. ”
Six thousand front army groups, sounds like a lot, but. But it's definitely not much. Most of the people here are people who know the soldiers. It is understood that if you want to occupy a huge empire like the Tianhu Empire, it is absolutely impossible to do without sufficient troops, and the occupied area needs to be defended by troops, and it is also necessary to mobilize a large army to attack, etc., therefore, Sun Tiejian set the strength of the army at 6,000 front army groups, which is already relatively conservative. This is still based on the advantages of the Yan and Huang clan's powerful intelligence system, otherwise, this number will at least double.
The number of soldiers in each aspect of the army group has reached the level of 100 billion, or even hundreds of billions, and these soldiers do nothing, not even training or anything. Their salaries alone are already a huge astronomical amount, and this military expenditure is enough to overwhelm the coalition economy. It can be said that without the support of the Yan and Huang clans, relying only on the productivity of the subordinate races, not to mention arming a thousand front army groups, even if it is a hundred front army groups, they are enough to choke. The Heavenly Tiger Empire was able to feed 10,000 front army groups, and its strength and subordinate races were not an order of magnitude at all.
Sun Tiejian smiled and said: "My Yanhuang clan has developed for so many years, and the population is not large, that is, almost 200 billion people, and the skills we have are also very good, therefore, over the years, we have accumulated a lot of things, plus we have obtained a lot of materials from the Heavenly Tiger Empire from the beginning, trading, smuggling or something, we have used all the tricks that can be used, which has armed an army of more than 100 front armies in the past few hundred years." However, in the battle of Stormwind Fortress, we had consumed all our possessions, and the thought of those soldiers and equipment made me shudder. In the more than 100 years since the Battle of Storm Fortress, we have worked hard to produce and develop the economy, and the poor alchemists of my Yanhuang clan have been soaking in the alchemy room for alchemy almost every night, using their pills to exchange for a lot of materials from the Heavenly Tiger Empire. Coupled with the foundation we have developed over the past few hundred years, as well as the equipment of Marshal Tempest on the Wing Diva , this has allowed us to arm this army in the past hundred years, but this is already our limit, it can be said that the troops of this thousand front army groups have made us empty all the accumulated family funds, and it is impossible for us to produce so many warships in the next few hundred years. ”
Hearing Sun Tiejian crying poor, many deputies wanted to laugh, but what Sun Tiejian said was also the truth, the equipment of more than 400 front army groups has been produced in the past 100 years, and it is indeed all the materials accumulated by the Yanhuang clan before, and in the future, if you want to produce so many warships and equipment, it is not only necessary to have production equipment, but also raw materials, and where do raw materials come from? In order to mine enough minerals, it would take time for the Yanhuang clan to invest countless manpower and material resources to develop those ore stars and administrative stars. Nothing can be done without raw materials.
After the last day, Sun Tiejian asserted: "For a relatively long time in the future, our army will not fight any more big battles except for normal training, because we cannot afford such consumption, we need more time to develop the economy, accumulate strength, accumulate more materials, and when we accumulate enough strength, it will be time for us to counterattack." ”
"Of course, as I just said, the battle cannot be fought, Tianhu Tiehai is not a fool, he will not be stupid to let us develop rapidly there, if we don't fight him, it doesn't mean that he won't come to fight us, so, instead of letting him fight us, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack him, in this way, we still have the initiative, and we can better control the scale of the war, so that a large-scale battle will not break out, and our strength will be consumed by ourselves, so this battle must be small-scale, and we must minimize the cost, and we will be able to annihilate as much as possible The enemy is what we want to fight。 ”
Oh, everyone understands, this is a typical way to want the horse to run, but also to have the horse not eat grass, and to be a man is Sun Tiejian is also a super iron rooster. If you want to win the battle here, you have to annihilate a large number of enemies, but over there you have to only go out with small-scale troops, fight a small-scale war, and the consumption must be small. Countless delegates muttered in their hearts.
Modern warfare, cosmic warfare, without exception, is the principle of firepower supremacy, especially in cosmic warfare, the advantages of artillery giants have been developed to the limit, otherwise there would be no universe-level warships of the Heavenly Tiger Empire. That is, the Heavenly Tiger Empire was unlucky, and when it met the Yanhuang Clan, if it had been changed to other races, the Heavenly Tiger Empire would have wiped them out long ago, it can be said that in addition to the Yanhuang Clan and other races with a strong heritage, the Celestial Tiger Empire's cosmic-level battleships are invincible, at least, since the Heavenly Tiger Empire created the cosmic-level battleships, before encountering the Yanhuang Clan, no cosmic-level battleship has been sunk, which is ironclad proof.
