After the Hanhai Undead Army arrived at Baima Pass and joined the Fire Phoenix Army, they did not evacuate because of this.
Soon, the First Corps of Wangcheng Garrison also arrived outside Baima Pass, forming a coercive trend against Baima Pass.
The Hanhai army gathered three legions outside the Baima Pass, and the army was overwhelming. The Baima Pass defenders also quickly reported the situation to the court.
"What are the Hanhai people trying to do?!"
Chen Ziang was also furious when he learned that the Hanhai army had not only attacked Baima Pass brazenly, but had now increased its troops to three legions.
"The last time His Majesty led an army to kill their Tiger Legion, and then swept across Qingzhou, forcing them to sign an alliance under the city. They probably came for revenge."
Li Qiye, chief of the Ministry of War, is in charge of the military affairs of the empire, so he still knows the little thoughts of the Hanhai people.
"I don't think they remember hitting."
Qin An, chief of the staff department, couldn't help but snorted coldly. After all, Han Hai was the general of the defeated army, and now he came to provoke him again.
"Since they blatantly tore up the signed non-aggression agreement, then we don't have to be polite with them, just fight!" The head of the household department, Miao Cai, is a staunch fighter.
The Far East Empire was built step by step by means of swords and soldiers. These people are now in high positions, and they are not afraid of fighting because they have fallen into a gentle country.
"I also think that the people of Hanhai should be taught a hard lesson, and we can take back Qingzhou!" Pang Lun, chief of the Ministry of Rites, was also determined to fight.
"Qingzhou is our homeland, but it was stolen by Hanhai for hundreds of years, and it's time to return it." Li Qiye nodded.
Seeing that everyone was filled with righteous indignation and advocated countermeasures against Hanhai's invasion, Song Zhi, the head of the Ministry of Industry, raised objections.
"Your Majesty, my lords, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not." Song Zhigong cupped his hands and said.
"Song Aiqing, but it's okay to say."
The high-level meetings of the Far Eastern Empire have always been relatively open-minded, and everyone spoke freely.
Chen Ziang and even the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, so many opinions are fully listened to the opinions of everyone.
"Our Far Eastern Empire has made great efforts to govern, and now the state of people's livelihood has been changed. The lives of the people have been greatly improved, and the commerce and trade in various places have also developed and prospered. "
"However, the empire has a vast territory, and there are still many places that are still poor. If the war is resumed now, all kinds of resources will be tilted towards the army, which will definitely affect the development of the empire."
"It's better for us to endure it for a while. After three to five years, when the country is rich and the people are strong, we will fight back against Hanhai. At that time, the border issue will be permanently resolved in one war."
The meaning of Song Zhi, Director of the Ministry of Industry, is very simple, that is, it is not the time to restart the war, and what the Far East Empire needs is forbearance and growth.
Even if it is Hanhai's various provocations in the border areas, it is unnecessary to ignore them. They need to concentrate their efforts on development and growth.
As long as they are strong to a certain extent, if Hanhai provokes again at that time, it is not impossible to directly destroy the country.
"Song Aiqing is right. Now that the empire really needs to concentrate its strength to grow stronger, it is indeed inappropriate to restart the war." Chen Ziang nodded.
"But now that Hanhai has bullied him to the door, if we just give in, it will definitely make Hanhai gain an inch."
"What I mean is that we don't restart the war on a large scale, we only need to carry out partial counterattacks in the border areas, which can be regarded as a response to the provocation of the vast sea."
Chen Ziang also clarified his point of view to everyone, that is, he is not a militaristic person.
It's not that he is unwilling to plunge the people into war again, but he should respond to provocations.
"Your Majesty is wise. I will fight a local war in the eastern region. Not only can I teach the people of Hanhai a lesson, but it can also deter those surrounding forces that are about to move." Li Qiye also agreed with Chen Ziang's opinion.
"Now we are also fielding the Fifth Army in the eastern region, the Twelfth Cavalry Army, and the Fourth Field Army are also on their way to Baima Pass."
"As long as the Fourth Field Army reaches Baima Pass, we will have three armies with 300,000 troops there, enough to deal with the Hanhai people."
"Although the United Kingdom suffered an ambush and lost its main force, there are quite a few small troops scattered around, which can also cause some trouble for the people of Hanhai."
After hearing Li Qiye's words, Chen Ziang also nodded. They were deployed heavily in the eastern part of the empire.
Li Qiye glanced at the crowd and said: "It's just that the three legions in the eastern region, plus Zhou Ting's United Kingdom troops, are equivalent to the strength of four legions, but they are not affiliated with each other. Once they start a war with the vast sea, they will coordinate the battle." kind of hard."
"Li Aiqing, it's okay to speak up if you have something to say." Chen Ziang said with a wave of his hand.
"Then Weichen boldly spoke up."
"Weichen proposed to set up a command headquarters in the eastern region to unify the command of all legions' operations against the vast sea." Li Qiye glanced at Chen Ziang before expressing his thoughts.
"Your proposal is very good. Now they are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult to cooperate with each other tacitly. The establishment of a command headquarters can indeed fully dispatch the legions to make the best use of everything and people."
"What do you ladies think?"
After Chen Ziang agreed with Li Qiye's proposal, he turned his attention to everyone.
"Weichen has no objection."
"It's okay to set up a headquarters, but checks and balances must be strengthened. Otherwise, once this person supports himself, he will become a disaster for the court." Qin An reminded.
"My minister agrees with your lord's proposal to set up a command headquarters to coordinate and command the counterattacks of the various legions against the vast sea."
Everyone also expressed their opinions one after another, that is, they agreed to establish a unified command organization.
After all, what Baimaguan has to deal with is Hanhai's provocation, and it is also under a lot of pressure. If the legions fight on their own, it will be ineffective.
"Well, I propose to form the first Far East Field Army in the eastern provinces, with the main combat direction being the Hanhai Dynasty."
"Besides, the empire has been established for a long time, and the designation of the Qinghe Army is out of date. The designations of the various legions of the empire have also been changed to the Imperial Field Legion or the Security Legion. What do you think?"
"Everything is in accordance with His Majesty's will."
Regarding the change of the Qinghe Army's designation, no one has any objection, after all, it is just a matter of designation.
"I wonder if you have any suggestions for the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Empire's First Field Army?"
Chen Ziang decided to form a higher-level combat group to command the various legions in battle.
However, who will be the commander-in-chief of the first field army is also a question that is placed in front of everyone. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
