Chapter 378: Strategizing

　　　国.

 The Light Chasing Army just captured an old mine.

Tang Zheng set up a mining field here, and the soldiers of the Light Chasing Army began to collect jadeite rough.

 Large quantities of raw jadeite stones are sent to the cutting workshop, where they are decomposed.

 Before the end of the world, there was a saying that there was a sword in heaven and a sword in hell. If you did it well, you would make a fortune, but if you didn't, you would lose everything.

But this situation does not exist here in Tang Zheng's place. The mining site is now his, and the rough stones of any quality can be taken and cut.

 All cutting machines are working around the clock. Most of them can't cut anything, but there are often surprises.

Whenever a piece of jade appears, Tang Zheng immediately goes over and converts it directly into funds.

 The system naturally has a set of measurement standards, and the amount of what kind of jade can be exchanged is exactly the same.

Tang Zheng liked this job very much. After the jade piled up in each mine, he would immediately fly there, exchange it for funds, and be safe.

 He has been working here for ten days in a row, and the funds in his hand have soared from 940 million to 1.25 billion.

Every time you win a mine, it is an opportunity to make a fortune. However, the income has begun to decline in the past few days, and it is not as strong as it was at the beginning.

During this period, there was a war in the southeast, and Tang Zheng didn't even bother to go back. In his opinion, that war might last for a while.

 But today, he got the latest news.

 Zhang Yupeng stabbed him in the back, causing the situation in the Pearl Islands to deteriorate. Tang Yafei was unable to take the islands, so she had to give up everything and leave, and went to Yuanjing for political asylum.

 The countries in the southeast region began to invade Han Yue, and even the Magnolia Empire, the world's number one, began to come to an end.

Tang Zheng knew he had to go back.

 Otherwise, Han Yue, which has just improved, will surely fall apart again, and even Li Wuyou's current military strength may not be able to withstand the coalition this time.

 He looked through the information brought back to him by the correspondent and knew that this time the situation was not optimistic.

In the past few months of peace, Li Wuyou and he have been working hard to restore people's livelihood and develop the economy. In fact, the military strength has not improved very quickly.

 After all, Han Yue has experienced many wars in a row and is in urgent need of breathing time. The problem of food for the people is the biggest problem.

It will be October soon, and the autumn harvest season is approaching here in the Han month.

 So the next period of time is harvest time. The population pressure on Li Wuyou's side is high. This is the primary problem. I'm afraid there is still not much time to engage in military development.

 But other countries are different. They have not experienced as many wars as Han Yue. With their solid foundation, they recovered very quickly.

Just like the Magnolia Empire, the current level of aircraft carriers and warships has surpassed that of the Light Chaser Army, and its fighter jets are not inferior.

Even according to reports, the Magnolia Empire's fourth-generation aircraft has begun to resume production. If the fourth-generation aircraft also enter the battle, it will undoubtedly suppress the Light Chasing Army.

Other countries do not have as strong a military strength as Magnolia, but they have recovered well, and third-generation aircraft have begun to become popular.

The appearance of the traitor Zhang Yupeng made the situation even more difficult. Even Tang Zheng did not expect that after Zhang Yupeng was wiped out a fleet, he would build a stronger fleet so quickly. It can be seen that he must be behind this. Something unknown happened.

Putting down the jadeite in his hand, Tang Zheng clapped his hands and asked the correspondent to call Li Wuyou.

 The call with Li Wuyou was short, and it was basically a quick formulation of tactics.

Tang Zheng told Li Wuyou to guard the border areas, especially the northern area.

Then Tang Zheng told Li Wuyou to take the initiative to attack and enter the grassland province to put pressure on Li Haocheng's tribe and the Daliao people, but not to fight too hard, just to contain the opponent.

Li Wuyou was a little confused when he heard Tang Zheng's words: "Brother Zheng, if this happens, Orochi's people will withdraw their hands. They may increase their investment in Baishan Province, and it is also possible to attack Heishui."

Tang Zheng smiled: "I just want them to increase their investment here."

Hearing this, Li Wuyou stopped asking questions. She knew that Tang Zheng already had his battle plan.

As for the southeast side, Li Wuyou currently does not have the naval power to take care of it, so he naturally leaves it to Tang Zheng.

 After discussing the battle plan, Tang Zheng immediately set off to return eastward.

However, the 100,000 troops left in the southern peninsula have basically not moved. Tang Zheng must guard the mineral veins here. There are still many emeralds that have not been mined, and they must not be taken back by others.

 The only ones who really followed Tang Zheng away were his guard company and the newly purchased more than 300 fighter jets and bombers.

 All personnel will take a flight and strive to return as quickly as possible.

The news that Tang Zheng led a large number of air force troops to return home was quickly conveyed through the radio waves.

But one hundred thousand light-chasing troops remained in the southern peninsula, which also relieved those who wanted to enter Han Yue.

If these 100,000 people don't come back, then the troops Tang Zheng can mobilize will be very limited, so no one takes it too seriously.

　　Whether it is time to march in troops or not, troops from all over the world are still being mobilized one after another.

 It’s just that no one knows that the naval fleet located on Didui Island is also quietly mobilizing. On September 25, the war first broke out in the north.

 Faced with the invasion from various countries around the world, Li Wuyou took the lead in counterattacking.

The Royal Guard mobilized 400,000 troops and entered the Prairie Province.

Li Haocheng's troops were crippled at the beginning, but now that so long has passed and no one has come to attack him, he has finally recovered some strength, with a total of 250,000 troops.

 The Daliao people also spared no effort in supporting Li Haocheng and equipped them with a large number of modern weapons, allowing Li Haocheng's troops to regain good combat effectiveness.

Li Haocheng's 150,000 troops and the Daliao people's 150,000 troops originally thought that Tang Zheng and Li Wuyou would definitely focus their attention on the southeast region. They had no time to control them, so the 300,000 troops were dispatched brazenly. Start grabbing land in the Prairie Province.

 But just after they captured two base cities and went deep into the grassland province, they encountered a powerful sniper attack from Li Wuyou.

400,000 Royal Guardsmen encountered Li Haocheng and others in the Prairie Province. A conflict broke out between the two sides. Each suffered some casualties, and they were not sure of winning the other side for a while.

 But generally speaking, Li Wuyou had the advantage. After all, Li Haocheng and the others had to go on an expedition, which made logistical supplies more difficult and their troops slightly insufficient.

Li Haocheng and the others have already annexed two base cities, and they absolutely cannot spit out the fat in their mouths. In order to ensure their interests, the only outbreak is to increase troops.

Li Haocheng once again organized 50,000 troops, and another 100,000 troops were organized in Daliao to form a reinforcement force and continue to the grassland province.

From their point of view, as long as they can resist Li Wuyou for a period of time, as long as the situation in the southeast changes again and troops from all over the world enter the southeast, then Li Wuyou will inevitably retreat.

 They can take advantage of this opportunity to annex most of the Steppe Province and even part of the Mesopotamia Province.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this idea, but they underestimated the greed of the Orochi people.

Li Haocheng and the others could only mobilize troops from Heishui. This left the Blackwater mainland empty, which allowed the Orochi people in Baishan to see an opportunity.

When Li Wuyou and Li Haocheng started the war, they thought of this and quietly mobilized 100,000 troops from the Orochi homeland, bringing the number of Orochi troops here in Baishan to 250,000.

When Li Wuyou and Li Haocheng were fighting in a group and no one could escape from the battlefield, the Orochi began to attack Blackwater Province.

They suffered too many losses at the hands of Tang Zheng. Now their naval power is far less than before, and what the Orochi people yearn for most is to march to the mainland.

 So they have tried their best to seize the black water.

Li Haocheng obviously did not estimate the strength of the Orochi people's actions. The defenders of Blackwater were struggling to withstand the difficulties.

 After two days of fighting, the Hejiang base located south of Blackwater was lost.

Only 3,000 of the 30,000 defenders managed to escape and retreated into the Ice City Base City, the capital city of Blackwater Province.

 The Orochi people continued to march northward and attacked Ice City.

As long as they capture Bingcheng, the Orochi people will almost complete the annexation of several provinces in the northeastern part of Hanyue. This is a vast land, much larger than the island on Orochi's homeland.

 As long as they can establish a foothold here and develop for a period of time, the Orochi people believe that they will even become a superpower in the future.

 For this dream, they will fight to the end.

 Seeing that the situation in Blackwater was collapsing, Li Haocheng did not bother to continue to increase troops in the grassland province, and returned with his troops, hoping to defend the Ice City base city.

He originally hoped that the people from Daliao would go with him, but the people from Daliao refused. They refused to give up the territory they had acquired in the Prairie Province. In the end, the two sides got into trouble. Li Haocheng had no choice but to compromise and bring One hundred thousand troops returned to Ice City.

As a result, the pressure on Li Wuyou was reduced again, and he continued to maintain a stalemate with Daliao and some of Li Haocheng's troops in the grassland province.

 400,000 versus 350,000, no one can do anything to anyone for a while.

On Orochi's side, 200,000 people attacked the Ice City base city. After Li Haocheng's troops returned to support, there were also 130,000 defenders. It was unrealistic to capture Ice City in a short time.

 The Orochi gritted his teeth and mobilized another 50,000 troops from the mainland.

 At this time, his local force only has more than 60,000 land troops and the last aircraft carrier battle group left. This is already a very, very dangerous number.

But the Orochi people still believe that there will be no problem. After all, Li Wuyou does not have naval power, and according to news reports, Tang Zheng has returned to Didui Island. The Orochi is alone overseas and is still very safe.

 The war situation in the north continues to ferment, and it is complicated and confusing, and the outcome is unpredictable.

 As for Tang Zheng, whom everyone is concerned about, there has been no news since he returned to Didui Island.

This made many people worry that Tang Zheng might suddenly send troops to interfere in the situation in the southeast.

 But no one would have thought that Tang Zheng would have arrived at the Chongsheng Island military port.

Tang Zheng returned from the Southern Peninsula Alliance and first returned to Didui Island.

He learned the situation in detail here. When the northern war situation was in full swing, he took his more than 300 fighter planes directly into the vast Atlantic Ocean, and finally landed on the airfield of Chongsheng Island.

 The two major aircraft carrier battle groups of the Light Chasing Army have also assembled here.
