The West Indies defensive line, Ram Fortress, this fortress was built on the pass of a canyon, and the Indians built Ram Fortress in the narrowest part of the canyon. This fortress is all built of stone. There are a large number of fortifications and weapons. In addition, a large number of trenches have been established nearby. The Indians are stationed here for more than 20,000 people. The Yueshi people have only two infantry regiments. Obviously, Yueshi people are unlikely to have big moves here.

"The above are investigating the situation here, they think we are in a better position here, because if the Ram Fortress is conquered, ours can easily master it. From Ram, you can directly enter the plains behind. We can Threatening the entire rear of the Indian army. In that case, all the Indians will become prisoners of war." Major Stuart, the commander of the Moon's 1st Engineer Battalion, said excitedly. They were Yue's first engineer battalion. They had been investigating the road conditions before, and they were mobilized here not long ago, but after they came here, Stuart decided to make a big deal. His subordinates were all miners, and they had been in contact with Qin's explosives a long time ago. After they entered the Qin Army, such things as black gunpowder were quickly added to their hands, so they were not short of such things, or in other words, they were able to do a lot of things now.

"What do you plan to do?" Qin Guo's consultant, Major Zhang Shun asked. He was just an infantryman. In his opinion, lacking sufficient artillery support, the Yues wanted to use two infantry regiments to open the Ram Fortress where the Indians looked like a dog looking at bones. It was simply a dream. Because it is impossible to succeed at all.

"If I tell my plan, don't be surprised." Stur said with a smile.

"Well, just say it, I know what you think." Zhang Shun asked.

"I plan to use our old skills. As you know, I am an engineer. Without the support of artillery, those infantry soldiers cannot do this. Perhaps the Indians also understand this. Therefore, the two sides are just deadlocked. There are not many breakthroughs, but recently, I heard that there are considerations above, and I choose a breakthrough point. I think that the opportunity has come. We are engineers." Stuart repeatedly emphasized that he is an engineer.

"I know that the engineers are very special, but they are only useful before and after the war. They are unlikely to participate in the war all at once. I think you might come up with other ways to do such things." Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"That's right, my friend. I plan to do a big vote, I have already thought about it. We will dig a tunnel that leads directly to the bottom of Ram Fortress, and then underneath, we will place a lot, Many explosives, among them are the powerful explosives of your Qin country. About, I think about it, I need about one thousand stones. No, one thousand stones is not enough. I plan to place 10,000 stones. In this case, the entire fortress , Together with the **** Indians, will disappear completely. What I said is true." Stur said with a smile.

"Oh my God." When Zhang Shun heard this plan, he felt that it was the craziest action, because 10,000-stone explosives, including quite a lot of powerful explosives, were enough to blow up the entire fortress into the sky.

"You, your plan is crazy." Zhang Shun said after being surprised.

"Yes, it’s very crazy, but I think it’s easy to support me from above. We only need to dig a tunnel. The land here is not very hard, it’s easy to dig, and it’s very hard when it comes to the bottom. The Indians definitely can’t think of this. I have already calculated it. From here, we dig for about seven days, move forward about three miles, dig straight, and then spend another seven days to dig a large enough space and place enough explosives. I believe that we will definitely succeed. The locals would never expect that a great engineer would come up with such a plan." Said St.

"Your plan is very crazy, do you know?" Zhang Shun looked at the other party and said. The other party was obviously very excited, and he felt that his plan would be very successful.

At this time, within Moran's headquarters, this plan was being considered.

"Sir, I think this plan may be very surprising, because we have tried to do this with engineers before, and we have had such experience. If we can use a lot of explosives to blow this fortress into the sky at once, I Think, undoubtedly we are very successful." A major officer said excitedly. Sturt's combat plan was sent to Moran's staff. A staff officer admired such a combat plan very much. He decided to introduce it desperately and implement such a plan, because the plan seemed very crazy.

"I feel too wasteful. Ten thousand stone of explosives, including quite a lot of high explosives, we can use those artillery to solve the problem." Moran felt a little wasteful and said.

"Can I take a look at this battle plan?" Meng Ping said.

"Of course, sir." The major handed Meng Ping the battle plan. After Meng Ping looked at it quickly, he felt that this plan seemed very crazy, but it did have merits behind it. After all, near the Ram Fortress, the Yue Clan had only two infantry regiments, and the Indians must have relaxed. Be vigilant, and in a short period of time, if the Yue people want to mobilize troops to assemble, it may take a long time, and the location of the Ram Fortress is very important. Starting from the Ram area, all behind is the plain. If you put down the cavalry units, they can easily occupy a lot of space. A direct threat to the rear wing of the Indian army, if this plan is implemented, a breakthrough is very possible.

"I think this plan is feasible." Meng Ping thought for a while and said.

"My friend, are you crazy?" Moran looked at Meng Ping and asked.

"This plan is just an idea. If it is implemented boldly, we need a lot of explosives. If it fails, the loss will be very heavy." Moran looked at Meng Ping and said.

"It is true, but our current situation has decided that we can only do this. My friend. Think about it, we face the Indians in the Ram area. There are more than 20,000 people, and we only have two steps. The corps, no more than 5,000 people at most, the difference in strength is very large. The Indians occupy a very strong fortress. They also dug too many trenches. If we want to attack, we need to spend at least five infantry regiments. Three. The time for the cavalry regiment and the two artillery regiments to mobilize troops far exceeds our preparation time, and the Indians are likely to react. At that time, Ram Fortress will become difficult to break and we cannot Breaking through Ram Fortress, in this case, we can only choose another place. The cost of troops, time, and materials are difficult to calculate." Meng Ping thought for a while and wanted to say.

"But if we can break through and open this fortress with only the use of engineering troops, it will be very helpful to us and we can solve many problems. For example, we can directly threaten the Indian army from Ram. On the back wing, the enemy would never think that we would do this, and they can hardly imagine what consequences we would have on the other side. For us, this is an opportunity, which is very beneficial to us, but if we If you don't do this, you will consume more resources, troops, time, and quantity of materials. But doing so will only consume some explosives. This is nothing." Meng Ping said.

"In this case, the cost is more cost-effective." Moran said.

"Yes, it's very cost-effective. That's what I think. War needs to consider cost." Meng Ping said.

"Yeah. Okay, but I need you to prove that this is very cost-effective and feasible. The Indians will not find out. You know, if they find a lot of explosives, they only need to open a very small hole. Just as Mars, all conditions will be beneficial to the Indians, not us." Moran said.

"I think we can try it. The risks are great, but the benefits are also great. I think we should try it. After all, this is a war. Who knows what will happen." Meng Ping said.

"Well, my friend, what you said may be right, we should try it boldly." Moran said.

Immediately this plan began to discuss whether it was feasible.

Goguryeo. Inside Li Wending's headquarters.

"Qi State is extortion, but I think if we can take the initiative on the battlefield, I think we can still succeed." Li Wending thought about it.

"It’s just that we don’t know how we can take the initiative on the battlefield. Our soldiers are unwilling to launch a bigger offensive. They think this is useless, morale is low, and it can’t solve all the problems at all. Maybe we can buy some. White phosphorus grenade, this is a new product.” Hawke recommended. He received a letter of recommendation from the Qin State Arsenal. He hoped to be able to use such a new weapon in the Peninsular War to test it. As a result, the white phosphorus grenade was very powerful and received great praise.

"No, no, no. We have a secret weapon, a very good secret weapon." Li Wending said with a smile.

"Secret weapon, what kind of secret weapon is it?" Hawke asked.

"This secret weapon can change our situation on the battlefield. We in Goguryeo will have a lot of initiative. This is very helpful for us to further change our current situation. I think this secret weapon is for us. , Is very beneficial." Li Wending said. Hawke has some doubts. He is responsible for the import of weapons. He knows that Goguryeo does not have too many secret weapons at present, they are all conventional weapons, for example. Weapons such as mortars, rifles, and submachine guns. However, they currently do not have a secret weapon.

"Tell you. The people of Yan have used poison gas, and then the poison gas was sold to us. They have been storing and unused. If we use such a batch of weapons, especially in the situation on the peninsula, it can be completely changed. The current situation." Li Wending said.

"I think it's very crazy, you know, the people of Qin are very opposed to poison gas. If they know that we use poison gas, they won't get the support of the people of Qin." Hawke said.

"Don't talk about Qin. We can still do this without Qin. You know, the people of Qin provide us with some conventional weapons at most, but they have never given us such weapons of mass destruction. Now it is South Korea. People, Yan people help us, if we can’t do something on the battlefield, what would Yan people, Koreans think of us, we simply can’t do such a thing, so these poisonous gases must be used.” Li Wending resolutely Speaking of.

"This." Hawke felt that he himself should be resolutely opposed. However, the reason Li Wending said is quite sufficient. Only when Goguryeo has the initiative on the battlefield can this problem be solved completely. If you cannot take the initiative, the negotiating table will become extremely disadvantageous.

"Well, it's best that no one knows about this. Maybe we should tell Yan people or Koreans. It's better to let them know these things." Hawke suggested. Hawke took a step back and said.

"Okay, I still know this. If the two countries don't know what's going on, such a war will be detrimental to us." Li Wending said. Immediately he issued an order to transport such a secret weapon to the peninsula.

Bangladesh. South Korea’s new army station. Zhang Shi has returned to their headquarters.

"We have defeated the main force of the goddess religion. Next, it is time for the city-states to help us destroy the goddess religion. If they don't obey the order, we will go in. We don't mind annexing more countries, or let They know how good we are." Zhang Shi said confidently. After getting rid of the main power of the goddess, Zhang Shi became much easier. Goddess religion still exists in other city-states, and the existence of these forces is likely to make a comeback in order to prevent such things from happening. Zhang Shi immediately issued an order to pursue, and sent envoys to various countries, asking them to participate in the military operation to destroy the goddess religion.

For the country of Bangla, Zhang Shi decided to impose certain punishments. He wanted to disband the Bangla army and completely annex Bangla as his governor's jurisdiction.

"However, sir, I think we should wait a little bit. Isn't it too anxious for this kind of thing? After all, we have just wiped out a large number of the main powers of the gods, and then we will start military operations with other countries. Military power may be too large, and then there is a large gap. Although the combat effectiveness of the armed forces of various countries is not very strong, but if they unite, I think. We have no way. This will greatly consume our military. Strength will be very detrimental to us. I hope that the officer can carefully consider this." A staff officer suggested.

"Well, I know, but what we need now is morale. Our morale is very strong, and the military strength of those city-states is very weak. Under such circumstances, we should continue to maintain our strength." Zhang Shi said. Then he vetoed the views of the staff. The staff can do nothing about this.

Qi State, Laizhou Shipyard, this is a military shipyard. Qi State has already done it with the Koreans. They have ordered more than 50 warships of various types from Qingcheng. These warships will be the first batch of Qi At the same time, they are also developing technical cooperation with South Korea, especially in shipbuilding. Qi's shipbuilding technology will advance rapidly.

"These are the first batch of warships that came from Qingcheng. There are only five. They were not equipped with weapons at the beginning. However, we have mobilized a batch of artillery from all over here. The first batch of naval forces." said the shipyard director. They are refitting the warships, installing a large number of artillery and various weapons, so that they can become real warships.

"Well, you must speed up. Our navy needs a lot of warships. The faster your speed, the better for us." Tian Heng said while looking at the warships.

"Yes, General, we will speed up." said the factory director. The addition of weapons has given them the shipyard, which makes them feel a lot of pressure, but this is also an opportunity to learn, after all, they have to learn in many places.

"I have an idea, do you think this is okay?" Tian Heng said. Seeing that there were only five warships, Tian Heng felt that there were still few. He felt that he should think of a good way to solve this problem.

"I think, from which civilian shipyards, we can build some or buy some civilian ships, and which ships can be temporarily modified. After all, they are not much different. We can use them to expand our number of warships. , Such a warship can meet our needs. I think this is feasible." Tian Heng said.

"This. General, this, civilian ships and military ships are very different. For example, there are big differences in these speeds, deck thickness, and hull rigidity. Civil ships, after all, are only used They are not used for wars when they come to transport goods." The factory manager said worriedly.

"We are only used for emergency, and we can also modify, for example, the thickness of the deck, we can add iron armor, it is really not good, we can use a larger iron frame to fix it, things should be more flexible, after all, we There is still a lot of demand for warships. The Qi State Navy is still waiting for ships. If there are no ships, the navy will be meaningless.” Tian Heng said. Tian Heng is very anxious about building the navy. His main purpose is to develop rapidly and then solve all the naval problems of Qi. Only by solving this problem can all problems be completely solved.
