Goguryeo, Heitucheng, Goguryeo cabinet meeting.

"This is the situation. The Yan State party initiated the offensive." The Minister of Defense gave a brief introduction to the situation. Everyone was shocked by the **** incident. They think that Goguryeo should give the other side a strong counterattack, otherwise, Goguryeo will be in a disadvantageous environment in diplomacy.

"What do you think of such a thing?" After hearing such a report, Li Lin also felt a very headache. Although he had known about it in the afternoon, it was very tricky to deal with it. Under such circumstances , They are unlikely to launch a counterattack.

"This, our suggestion is to take a partial counterattack and give the other side a certain blow. However, in general, we are not ready yet. Many civilians have not yet completed military training. Not only that, but our people are very concerned about this. We don’t know how to deal with the war. Yan people are already actively preparing. They have superior forces on the border, but we don’t have it. The construction of our railway system is still going on, the fastest, and it will take next year. Or it can only be completed the next year and launch an offensive hastily. I think our chances of winning are not great." The Defense Minister rationally reported. Although he also wanted to give the opponent a stern counterattack at the first time, the problem is that Goguryeo cannot do this at present. The people are still very afraid of war, and they have just stabilized. Let them abandon this environment and treat them. Said that there is still a lot of pressure, which is still unacceptable for them.

"The worst thing is that our situation has not been well accepted for such a situation. I think everyone is well aware that our military production has just begun. If we start a war at this time, we have no chance of winning. Rather than In this way, we might as well retreat. In international diplomacy, we can obtain the support of Zhao and Qi people, and win the sympathy of the Central Plains. In the military, we may have some passivity, mainly because we have lost a lot of land, but In this way, many of our situations have been resolved. For example, we can get sympathy from various countries. Or, we can test the reaction of the people and see how they are?" said the Minister of Defense.

"Is it okay? They will be very disappointed with our government?" the Minister of Finance said worriedly. His main concern is that this move will severely weaken people's confidence in bonds. Because the government is so incompetent, they have to worry about the government's ability to control bonds in the next step. After all, such a thing will be very difficult for them to accept.

"We have to try it this way. After all, we don’t know whether the people are willing to fight. We must know that the situation in the recent wars in Goguryeo to the outside world is not very good. This is very bad for us. Under the circumstances, if we are in a diplomatic disadvantage, if the people demonstrate, we can let them turn their grief and anger into motivation, but if they do not respond, we. We don’t need to start such a war." Said the minister.

"That's right, I also agree with this. According to the training situation of our army, many reserve personnel have dealt with it. They don't know that there will be war in the future. They think that the war is very far away for them. As long as the factory continues to work, everything can pass. This is their current situation, but the current situation is too bad for us. This will put us in a great collapse." Said among the Secretary of the Army.

The Army trained the reserve personnel according to their plan, but during the training, they found many problems. For example, the level of concentration of the soldiers was very low. It’s easy to get distracted. Not only that, but they are also lazy. There are many things like desertions. It is very difficult for officers to manage. Their fighting will is not very high. If they really send such troops to the front line, they may still They have collapsed without enduring a war. The soldiers' will to fight generally comes from the psychology of the people. The factory provided stable wages. Such a stable environment allowed them to kill their fighting will. This is not a good thing for Goguryeo, which means that they will lose more excellent combatants. They are very distressed about this.

"What do you think?" Li Lin asked his ministers helplessly, hoping that the ministers could give a clear answer.

"Maybe our diplomatic concessions today can make greater progress in the military. Diplomacy cannot look at the future from the current situation. I hope to get greater diplomatic progress in the future." The Foreign Minister thought for a while and said. .

"I think so too. If we can really get such progress, I think our situation is worth it." The Minister of Finance thought for a while. Perhaps through such a thing, their bond yields can be further expanded. , Maybe not. But, think about it, if the people can become angry, everything can be solved very well. The diplomatic concession is only temporary, but the sale of bonds is indeed permanent, and he thinks he can give it a try.

"Well, since we have done this, we will give in." Li Lin said helplessly.

"But we must do a good job in propaganda work, it is best to mobilize those workers, let them participate in our actions, and let them mobilize spontaneously." Li Lin said. This may be the only place where they can take the initiative.

Yan State, in the Prince's Mansion. The prince once again convened his cabinet for a meeting, but this meeting was very dull, because everyone knew it was impossible for them to say anything.

"Let's talk about it." The prince said again. This is the third time he has said such things, but the ministers have not spoken because they can't say anything at all.

"Prince, at present, we may or may still need to solve the fund, and then raise more materials for transportation, but considering. Our transportation capacity and the situation of the transportation road blockade." The Minister of Finance himself does not know what to say. What a victory.

"I don't think it is possible for us to send supplies, so we'd better not do anything at the moment. After all, Qin people have done this before. And, moreover." The Minister of Finance looked at the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Army The Minister of Finance, the Minister of Finance signaled the Secretary of the Army to clear the siege as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not be able to speak anymore.

"Our current transport capacity is very limited, and the transport force is seriously insufficient. Therefore," the Secretary of the Army said.

"His Royal Highness, there is a new situation. It is the latest information obtained from Goguryeo." At this moment, a communications officer came in quickly. Such a meeting was interrupted by such things. It can be seen that the information came very suddenly.

"Okay. Give it to me." Prince Dan knew that his ministers couldn't say anything at all, so he didn't want to continue to pester. Because it doesn't make any sense.

"Yes, Your Highness, this happened very suddenly. Your Highness." The officer said cautiously.

"Suddenly, our army unexpectedly raided the residence of the Goguryeo people, and also occupied a nearby coal mine. They killed many people on the other side, and we succeeded." Tai Zidan was happy after reading the telegram. Oo who said so.

"This is good news. This is, why is this news sent from Goguryeo? Did the Goguryeo people give us false information?" While Prince Dan was happy, he noticed another thing, that is, this news turned out to be. It came from Goguryeo. Under normal circumstances, such information should be sent from the front line.

"Yes, Your Highness, we have lost contact with frontline communications. This has happened many times. This time it’s been a long time. Therefore, we had to get confirmation from another direction. This is our lurking in Goguryeo. Accurate information obtained by one of the espionage officers.” The officer explained.

"Damn it, sometimes, we should get the exact information. Instead of letting our intelligence personnel do something that we already know, this should have been known first, but instead let us get such information from the Goguryeo people, if The Goguryeo people deliberately leaked false information to us, what should we do? We made a wrong judgment. This is a very serious loss to us." Prince Dan was very dissatisfied and reprimanded. The other ministers are not good at continuing to say anything. But in general, this matter is a good thing for Prince Dan. Prince Dan did not expect very bad results. For example, letting them enter a state of war prematurely, and responding to such a situation will have a great impact on us.

Their minister realized this, but the situation was that their prince did not think so.

"If we really enter a state of war, the most unfavorable one should be the Kingdom of Yan, not Goguryeo, because we know very well that our mobilization capabilities are very limited, and the supply is not smooth, and we can only rely on a few mountain infantry on the front line. The units are fighting, but how long they can last, we don't know at all." The Finance Minister said after the meeting.

But their prince’s order was for them to continue to maintain such a situation, and at the same time they demanded that more supplies be transported to the front lines to support them in doing so. The mountain people were commended, and the best medal was given to them. This may be the best thing the prince can do.
