Chapter 1373 Intelligence first
After Qu Mao sent the military heroes back to prepare for military reform and preparations for the Western Front, he did not take time off either.
At 9 am on June 1st, the 12th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao called Xinping, Su Qiaoer, and Su Yan back to the living room on the first floor of the lord's cabin. Except for Su Yan, Xinping and Su Qiaoer were all staring at Qu Mao with blinking eyes. Why did Qu Mao suddenly call them back to the lord's hut?
Xinping asked cautiously: "My lord, my subordinates listened to the feedback from the commander-in-chiefs of the armies: You have already deployed the army's reform plan and the deployment of the decisive battle on the western front. Is there anything wrong with suddenly calling your subordinates back?
Is it because the recent issues of "Island of Yi Weekly" have gone too far in reporting on the great victory on the Eastern Front, so you, my lord..."
Qu Mao shook his head, waved his hands to stop Xinping from continuing to probe, and said: "Su Yan, Qiaoer, Xinping, you don't have to guess.
Recruiting the three of you back is mainly because I was thinking: there is only one Pengda Principality left in the Eastern Continent that has not been conquered by us, and soon we will have to face the forces of other continents.
While it will take three to five years for the military to be ready, I think we have to be fully prepared ahead of time in terms of intelligence. In order not to wait until the army is ready, we will be blind to the intelligence of the various forces in the Central Continent, Southern Continent, Western Continent, and Northern Continent. We don't even know that the forces on other continents are planning at this stage. "
Xinping frowned and thought for a while, then said: "My lord, my subordinates don't quite understand.
Since the discovery of the two-way portal at the end of the underground world, our intelligence department has been collecting intelligence on other continents through the two-way portal at the end of the underground world. Although the area covered is limited, it is not enough to be called by others. Did you detect it? "
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "Xinping, I know that the intelligence department has been collecting intelligence on other continents, but I don't think there is any substantive action.
Now in the passages of the five two-way portals at the end of the underground world, we have built passes for defense, and have stationed thousands of garrison soldiers for a long time.
I think that while the various armies are launching their final offensive against the Principality of Pengda, the Intelligence Department should take a step forward from the Eastern Continent.
Since the other ends of the two-way portals at the end of the five underground worlds are located in relatively remote and barren areas, I want to follow the example of Heartless City and build a small military city at the other end of the two-way portals at the end of the other four underground worlds, deploying firearms Army soldiers on duty.
At the same time, arrange elite intelligence personnel from the intelligence department to establish an intelligence transfer center. Based on the military city we built at the other end of the two-way portal, deploy elite intelligence personnel to speed up intelligence collection.
Not only that, but also to infiltrate, win over and instigate rebellion against forces on other continents, what do you think? "
Xinping thought for a while, and said: "My lord, the intelligence at the other end of the two-way portal at the end of the underground world is always being collected, and now the passages at the end of the four underground worlds are themselves the territory of King Yi. And the important intelligence transfer center of the Western Continent.
The subordinates are wondering whether it is necessary for us to go forward for such a distance of several hundred meters, consume gold coins and resources, and expose the risk of exposing the two-way portal to build a military city at the other end. "
The subordinates feel that it is absolutely unnecessary for you to ask the intelligence department to go to the other end of the two-way portal to build a military city. "
Xinping said: "Master, at this stage, there is no need to waste resources and gold coins, right?"
Su Qiaoer said: "My lord, the resources in King Yi's territory are very abundant now. If you just build the city wall, let alone four towns, even if you ask to build 40 towns, I think it can be completed within a week.
It’s just that what Miss and Master Xinping have said makes sense. Although the other end of the two-way portal is in the wilderness that is inaccessible, what if we are discovered after we build the town?
Now it's just the wilderness, and it may be inaccessible, but if the town is built, it will definitely attract the attention of different forces on other continents. "
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "For the time being, I can't care about these issues you are thinking about, let's build the city wall first, and then send the firearms army to station.
There are other forces coveting, so kill them first.
In addition, Xinping, you have to find a way to find where the other end of our abandoned teleportation array in the Tassel Empire is.
Now we have very few clues, only a few words in Su Yan's father's notes, but our teleportation city has been built for many years, and we still can't use the abandoned teleportation array, which is also a big problem.
Of course, you don’t need to search for a needle in a haystack. The main purpose is to find out which forces in other continents have abandoned teleportation arrays. Looking there, it will definitely not be in the Eastern Continent now. "
Su Yan said in a low voice: "My lord, you must give information first, and your subordinates think it is not a big problem, but there are two-way portals at the end of the underground world, let's just choose one of them and build a military city to test the water, shall we?
Now, my lord, you are asking to build towns at the other end of the two-way teleportation gates, and you are also looking for news at the other end of the abandoned teleportation array. Your subordinates are worried that we will open up too many channels in King Yi's territory at the same time, which will cause us to face a large number of enemies in a short period of time. The decisive battle for our upcoming battle on the Western Front. "
Qu Mao smiled and said: "Su Yan, after the town is built at the other end of the two-way portal at the end of the underground world, we will arrange for soldiers from the Firearms Army to garrison and cooperate with elite intelligence personnel. Even if other forces want to conquer our military city, how much will it cost? price?
If the enemy also has firearms and weapons, our garrisoned troops and intelligence personnel immediately retreat to the pass at the end of the underground world, which is also foolproof.
Only the abandoned teleportation array may have some uncontrollable risks when it is repaired, but we always have to take that step, it is better to leave early than late.
The teleportation city has been built for so many years, and many residents have been relocated there, but the abandoned teleportation array will not play any role if it is not repaired.
The railway from the Old Imperial City of the Tassel Empire to the King Moner's City is very close to the Teleportation City. After the teleportation array is repaired, the speed of transporting troops is also very fast. "
Su Yan sighed, and said, "Then do as your lord asks."
