"Yes, it's still a question of troop strength." Peng Yulin said with a sigh.

"Here in the middle, the number of British troops originally exceeded ours. Now we can't tell whether the enemy is attacking in the east or west?"

"So we must not redeploy troops from the center now. If we do, the enemy army may turn the center line into their main attack direction. This is a conspiracy."

As chief of staff, Du Chaoqun should play a role in filling in the gaps in military discussions: "Everyone, in the short term, the army of Da Ying will exceed ours in number. Therefore, we can only focus on defense."

"But we must also realize that the main force of Dayang's army is not much larger than ours. In previous battles, we have seen that the combat effectiveness of the servants in Dayang's army is not as good as before, and there are even old people and children among them.

.”

"The continuous battles in the past few years have exhausted the original servant army of the Yin Army. These servant armies now should be the last batch of servant armies that can be produced in the Yin-controlled area."

"So time is on our side. In our control area on the subcontinent, basic production activities can still be guaranteed. Ammunition supplies for the Renaissance Army will also be continuously delivered."

"There is no problem if we can fight like this for a few years, but now that the Japanese have reduced the natives under their rule to strong men, their supplies in the subcontinent have been cut off. All supplies have to be transported from the rear. Every pound they eat

The cost of food is several times that of ours."

When everyone heard Du Chaoqun's analysis, they immediately felt confident. Yes, there was no need to attack. As long as they defended their current territory, they would be able to win in the end.

This final victory was obviously easier for the coalition side.

Moreover, everyone knows that the naval battle has not yet begun.

The outcome of the naval battle also has a huge impact on the entire war situation.

If the Great Army fails in the naval battle, they will be unable to maintain navigation safety in the Persian Gulf, which means they will fail.

However, if the Yin army were to win a decisive victory in a naval battle, the coalition forces would not necessarily fail immediately because they still had land access, but the battle would also fall into a passive state.

Even after Du Chaoqun said so much, he still hasn't solved the problem in Jhanxi City.

He continued: "I think we should support Jhanxi City, because we are defending the city and we don't need too many supporting troops."

Having said this, everyone, look at me, and I will look at you.

At this time, their vital interests are related.

"Let's do this. Let's move one division of the Renaissance Army from the center line first. This small amount of troops will not affect the overall situation. Then we will ask the country to send us another division. Mr. Peng, is this okay?"

Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Du Chaoqun could only express his position first on behalf of the Renaissance Army.

Now that we cannot move the troops on the center line, we can only increase the number of troops.

In fact, each force still has potential. The Holy Kingdom still has at least 100,000 troops, and the Kingdom of Myanmar has about the same number.

The Gurkhas also have tens of thousands of troops in the country.

Peng Yulin cast a look of help at Chen Yucheng.

Chen Yucheng is a general who takes the overall situation into consideration.

He knew that no one could continue to argue at this time.

So Chen Yucheng stood up.

"I will send a telegram to the Holy King. The Holy Kingdom will send an additional 20,000 troops to the northern front. Before that, the Holy Army originally on the northern front can be replenished to Jhansi City."

Seeing Chen Yucheng's statement like this, Zha Kun knew that he could not be content with others.

An invisible state of competition has formed between the Holy Kingdom and the Kingdom of Burma.

The total strength of the Holy Army and the Kingdom of Burma are also similar.

The troops they are sending now are also the same.

Now that the Holy Army has increased its troops, the Kingdom of Myanmar must also increase its troops.

"We, the Kingdom of Myanmar, have also sent an additional 20,000 troops to the northern front," Zakun said.

He knew that as long as the Holy Army increased its troops, his King Galloya would definitely agree to send troops. This was the principle they had set in advance for sending troops.

Finally, Liao Xiangdong also expressed that he would persuade King Surendra to increase his troops by 10,000.

In this way, the number of troops reinforcing the northern front will reach 60,000, plus the original 50,000 troops of the Northern Alliance and the original 30,000 troops of the Holy Army.

There are nearly 150,000 troops.

Considering that the combat power of the Yin Army is slightly higher than the average level of the coalition forces, the servant army of the Yin Army is weaker than that of the coalition forces.

It seems that the strength of both sides is equal.

In the current war, everything is focused on efficiency.

Thanks to the establishment of a radio contact station by the Renaissance Army, the results of the discussion here were quickly spread to Jhanxi.

Sister Yu was very happy. She was already moving the old, weak, women and children in the city.

This is the base camp of Queen Bayi, where she has the strongest control, so the execution speed is very fast.

All the young men in the city have been organized.

The officer corps sent by the Renaissance Army was directing them to dig fortifications outside the city.

The Yin army's artillery was powerful, and city defense could not rely solely on city walls.

The trenches and bunker fortifications outside the city are the most important defensive facilities.

With the development of artillery, the role of city walls in defense has become weaker and weaker.

On the contrary, trenches and bunkers have proven to be the most useful.

With more people and greater strength, the enemy troops are still in Bhopal in the south, and half of the fortifications outside Jhansi have been completed.

This is the only way for the Great Army to march north to the Ganges Plain.

If the Yin army wanted to bypass Jhanxi, there would be no suitable road to transport their luggage.

On the other hand, some important roads with difficult terrain are also garrisoned by coalition forces.

Queen Bai is determined to fight to the death with the Da Ling army here this time.

"Mr. Zhang, you see my decision is not wrong. Even the commander-in-chief agrees with it. You can do intelligence work. When it comes to fighting, your situation is a bit small." Queen Bai said with a hint of ridicule.

It was a rare win against Zhang Deshuai, and she was still a little proud of herself.

"Okay, Your Majesty the Queen is wise and brave, has a broad mind, can govern the country with literary skills, and can bring peace to the country with force. I admire her greatly." Zhang Deshuai bowed his hands and bowed.

"Her Majesty the Queen, we still cannot take the next step lightly. The person leading the army to the north this time is General Robert. This man has fought in the subcontinent for several years. He knows us very well."

"Mr. Zhang, you are just a defeated general. Don't be as ambitious as others." When the Queen heard that it was Robert, she was a little disdainful.

This Robert was the enemy general who was driven away from Calcutta by the Holy Army.

It is said that he retreated more than 800 kilometers in one breath, leaving the entire eastern half to the Holy Army.

The troops originally sent by Queen Bai to assist in the battle were not of much use.

What is there to fear from such a general?

At this time, in the ancient city of Bhopal, three hundred kilometers away to the south, General Robert was asking his troops to seize the time to repair.

The servant army responsible for logistics supplies was attacked by the enemy's cavalry.

Robert knew that his attack would not go so smoothly.

He had been in the subcontinent for two or three years and naturally knew that the Jhansi people had a cavalry, which was the main force of the Northern Alliance.

It was thanks to this cavalry that the Queen of Jhansi was able to securely assume the position of leader of the alliance.

It was undoubtedly this cavalry that appeared behind him now.

Such tricks cannot make Robert flinch.

He first sent out a light cavalry division with 10,000 servants.

This army is not here to play hide-and-seek with those elusive Jhansi cavalry.

Instead, he went back and raided all the cities, villages and towns along the way that had not surrendered to Da Ying.

He knew that these cavalrymen wanted to fight guerrillas with him, and they also had to have their own foothold.

They and their horses also need to eat.

After sweeping all these places, these Jhanxi cavalry cannot be eliminated, but their activity space can be reduced.

Then he asked people to establish strongholds every fifty miles along the way. A certain number of troops were left behind so that the troops transporting supplies could have a safe foothold.

Although this will cause a waste of materials and troops, it can indeed solve the problem of logistical security.

Even if a batch of supplies is destroyed, the army can still be supplied by relying on the supplies stored in the military depot.

"Your Excellency, Commander, here is the news from the vanguard." A tall, bearded colonel from the Army came to Robert's temporary headquarters.

This is the residence of the local city lord, which is not very luxurious.

After experiencing previous failures, General Robert became much more restrained.

He began to face up to these enemies of the subcontinent, or began to regard them as real enemies.

He put aside the original gentleman's fighting style, and in order to achieve the goal of fighting, Robert began to use any means.

"Ged, what's going on?"
