Chapter 177: Plan first and act later

Li Ningyu naturally understands the true meaning of Peng De's words, and he has thought about such a problem for a long time, but is it really possible?

Although Tsarist Russia and Austria-Hungary have withdrawn from the Eight-Nation Alliance, who are the remaining powers?

It's not that Li Ningyu hasn't thought about defeating each one, but he knows that the current situation in the Far East has made all the powers on guard. In addition, from the beginning of this time, the Far East has assumed an extremely tough posture, so he wants to

It is easier said than done to defeat them all.

However, among the remaining six powers, Britain has already wavered at this time. However, as the world's first empire, the Far East's small actions in Africa made the British Queen Victoria very angry, so she did not give any face to the Far East, while France and

Germany has been completely united and seems not to take the Far East seriously.

After all, the total number of main ships of the Far East Yellow Sea Fleet and the Far East Fleet together is less than 30 at most. If war is declared in the Far East, the two countries will definitely mobilize more fleets and ships again, as well as the United States. Although Asia

The number of ships in the squadron is not comparable to that of any fleet in the Far East, but they also have the Atlantic Squadron, which can reach Alaska and Hawaii at any time.

But everything is imminent. Li Ningyu must make an important strategic decision. This decision is not only related to the future of the Far East, but also affects hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

In Li Ningyu's overall plan, the worst thing is to start a war with eight countries at the same time. The 250,000 African army stationed in Libya will attack the colonies of France and Germany, holding them back and not giving them any breathing space.

opportunities, and at the same time, it is hoped that the two countries will feel the crisis and choose to compromise with the Far East.

The Eighth Field Army and a garrison army that have arrived at Hainan Island are ready to send troops to land in Vietnam at any time. They are also used to hold back the French and German navy and land forces. The Philippines will also take actions at the same time to create absolute pressure on the Americans.

This will lead them to withdraw the Asia Squadron in the Bohai Sea and support the Philippines.

The only thing that can contain the British now is the Anglo-Boer War in Africa, so Li Ningyu dare not order the jungle army to withdraw from the battle, because once the British solve the problem in Africa, the Far East will not have a card that can be used.

At the same time, Li Ningyu also wanted to prevent the Boers from taking the initiative to compromise with the British.

The Far East Sea Fleet will be responsible for blocking the naval fleets and troop transport ships of various countries in the South China Sea, and not giving them the opportunity to reinforce, but they are unable to fight because Li Ningyu not only wants to win, but also preserves the military power of the Far East, and that is why

A little, and it will become very difficult.

The Boers in the Far East and Africa had a secret agreement before the Eight-Power Allied Forces incident, that is, they would never agree to stop military resistance against the British. The Far East would also provide the Boers with 15,000 rifles and some weapons and equipment, and would absolutely recognize it.

Transvaal Republic and Orange Free State.

The Far East also made a clear guarantee: After the Anglo-Boer war, the Far East Jungle Army would immediately withdraw from the territory, and it was also willing to borrow 90 million African dollars to help the Boers rebuild their homeland. In fact, in the 19th century, during the wars in Europe and North America

, the gentlemanly demeanor has been carried to the extreme. The two sides can fight to the point of life and death, and can also talk calmly.

Since the Western powers have implemented political and economic control over Africa earlier and for a long time, they must implement unequal exchange of goods, causing Africa to suffer invisible economic losses for a long time, especially South Africa, which has kept the South African people on the poverty line for a long time.

Enduring inhuman man-made disasters.

In addition to economic plunder, the colonial rule of South Africa by the British and other powers also implemented racial discrimination policies. Therefore, during the Anglo-Boer War, the continuous resistance of the Boers made the British colonists' position in South Africa still not consolidated. Therefore, they

In fact, I still want to make amends with the Boers. I want to cunningly allow the Boers to govern themselves first, and then adopt various forms of indirect control.

However, there is a huge loophole in the entire deployment of the Far East, that is, weak defense. Once Western countries take advantage of the loophole, a certain section of the Far East will be in danger of being completely lost. But Li Ningyu has nothing to do about it, because this is what he has to face.

Correct question, but fortunately after more than ten years of long-term development, the Far East Intelligence Group has completely taken root in various places, and the Far East Radio Intelligence Network has been basically formed, making it possible to send intelligence from around the world to the high command almost at any time.

.

This is one of the biggest challenges that the Far East must face, so Li Ningyu also divided the Far East into three theaters. He was personally in charge of the Asian theater and led troops into the interior, while Hu Jingde was the deputy commander-in-chief and commanded in North Korea.

In all aspects, Liu Qinghui and Li Xihua were in charge of the American theater, while Zhang Dahu was responsible for the African theater.

In the war that was about to begin, Li Ningyu chose to catch thieves behind closed doors among the 36 strategies, sending troops from both sea and land simultaneously to surround the Eight-Nation Allied Forces in Asia. Either they would choose to surrender and withdraw, or they would fight bloody battles with them.

In the end, after a large siege, they continued to shrink the scope, surrounded the points to provide reinforcements, and then eliminated them in a designated area.

To catch thieves behind closed doors is a basic strategy to encircle and annihilate enemies, especially small groups of enemies. It has been used by many military strategists in history. Its meaning is similar to closing doors to beat dogs. In military struggles, it is a kind of encirclement and annihilation warfare.

, the pocket formation is generally the same, such as the Battle of Malingdao during the Warring States Period, the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, etc. This strategy was used to eliminate opponents.

Surround them on all sides, gather them together and annihilate them, but do not allow the enemy to escape, because then the situation will be very complicated. You must pursue the enemy relentlessly, and do not let him escape, but cut off his escape route, gather him up and annihilate him.

Of course, if this strategy is used well, it is by no means limited to "little thieves" and can even encircle and annihilate the enemy's main force. However, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces only has 20,000 troops, so Li Ningyu's main concern is the navy and reinforcements from various countries.

According to Li Ningyu's historical understanding of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, they were a bunch of beasts. They massacred, insulted women, robbed gold and silver, and even kicked in doors from door to door in the streets and alleys. They went everywhere in bedrooms and secret rooms and rummaged through boxes and cabinets.

, they searched everywhere, and robbed them of money, watches, and soft objects. If they encountered any obstruction, they would be killed.

Li Ningyu cannot let this kind of history happen again. Even if it is caused by the incompetence of the late Qing government, it cannot be overridden by ordinary people. Therefore, Li Ningyu must deal with this situation this time.

The bloody, brutal and shameless acts caused by the people have been completely interrupted.
