Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 356 The Enemy Switches from Offense to Defense

Lu Tianhao stood quietly, his brows furrowed, his eyes staring into the distance, as if he was immersed in deep thought.

His thoughts drifted to the two provinces in the north of Tianlong Kingdom.

According to reliable intelligence, at this moment, a large number of National Salvation Army troops are gathering in that direction.

These brave and fearless soldiers are about to embark on a magnificent journey with the firm belief of defending their country.

If the current situation continues to develop, it won’t be long before a full-scale battle to recover lost territory begins.

However, the difficult problem for everyone is that the joint fleet composed of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces has not been heard from since then, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

If we want to annihilate this evil combined fleet in one fell swoop, the most urgent task is to find their whereabouts.

But things are far from as simple as imagined.

On the one hand, the two sides are far apart, even if they finally find the target after going through untold hardships.

However, if we are not careful and are discovered by the enemy, it will not be easy to completely eliminate them given their cunning nature and their desire to escape.

On the other hand, Tianlong country has not yet achieved complete unification, and various warlords have their own troops.

If we rashly attack the bandits' homeland, those warlords with ulterior motives will most likely take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble, bringing unexpected changes and troubles to the entire war situation.

If we take comprehensive action now against those warlords who have their own troops and are separatist.

However, what is worrying is that there are still those cunning bandits as well as a powerful joint fleet composed of multinational coalition forces eyeing them covetously.

This will undoubtedly add many unpredictable variables to the current complex war situation.

Lu Tianhao frowned, thinking about the development of the situation with concern.

He couldn't help but think of his two sisters who were far away from home, and was silently concerned about the current battle situation of the Southwestern Army to which they belonged.

At the same time, he was also eager to know whether the two sisters had successfully found their long-lost brother and sister and their uncle's family.

After some careful consideration, Lu Tianhao finally broke the silence and spoke slowly.

"Regarding the recovery of the two northern provinces, our troops are currently doing their best to carry out the mission, so there is no need for us to interfere too much.

As for the remaining warlord forces, should we launch a full-scale attack?

In my opinion, now is probably not the best time!

After all, at this moment, our primary goal still needs to focus on the aggressive bandits and the joint fleet formed by the multinational coalition forces.

Although we successfully repelled this seemingly invincible combined fleet in the previous fierce battle, in fact, their overall combat effectiveness has not been greatly weakened.

Once we shift our targets to other areas, it is very likely that they will be left with opportunities to take advantage of us.

We never know when these cunning guys will suddenly launch a fierce counterattack against us.

For now, our entire naval fleet must be stationed in this area.

In this way, a solid line of defense was built to resist those ferocious bandits and the combined fleet of the multinational coalition forces.

Only in this way can we ensure the security of our territory.

Once the pacification work on Ming Island is properly completed, we can set off on our return journey.

At that time, the first place to return to is the Marshal's Mansion.

There, we can take charge, plan and comprehensively direct subsequent actions.

When Wang Hui and his generals heard these words, they couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment on their faces.

You know, each of them possesses the powerful strength of a soldier king, and deep down in their hearts they long to go to the front line and personally command the legion to fight bravely.

Perhaps at some point, they will be able to arrive at the forefront of the war in person and engage in a thrilling and fierce battle with the enemy.

However, when they heard Lu Tianhao mention that he wanted to return to the Marshal's Mansion first, everyone couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of loss in their hearts.

…………

Inside the headquarters of the bandits and the multinational coalition fleet, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing, like the calm before the storm.

In the spacious and bright conference room, a group of high-level generals from different countries sat upright with stern expressions around the huge conference table.

At this time, Fukuji Tahara broke the silence, his voice carrying a hint of anxiety.

"Everyone, I just received news that our garrison on Ming Island has sent us a farewell letter.

It is sad that all the brave troops of our Haisang country on Ming Island have been killed, and Ming Island has now been successfully recaptured by the hateful National Salvation Army! "

Having said that, Fukuji Tahara couldn't help but clench his fists, with sparks of anger and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

He continued, “Based on the analysis of the intelligence currently at hand, I speculate that the National Salvation Army is now doing its utmost to search for the whereabouts of our combined fleet.

Once they discover our whereabouts, with the powerful naval fleet of the National Salvation Army, they will surely pursue us at full speed without mercy."

After a pause, Tahara Fukuji looked around at everyone present and continued, "Although we are now hiding on this relatively secluded island.

But everyone knows that as time goes by, the National Salvation Army will find out sooner or later, so the situation is very critical!"

At this time, General Robert, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Don't panic.

Our country has issued clear instructions, requiring your country, Haisang, to actively cooperate.

We will quickly dispatch a large number of advanced land-based aircraft to various airports in your country of Haisang to be on standby."

After hearing this, some hope arose in the hearts of those present.

But at the same time, we also understand that facing the aggressive National Salvation Army, this battle has just begun, and the future is still full of countless unknown challenges and difficulties.

Robert continued, “I have received clear instructions that our powerful fleet must immediately adjust its strategic deployment.

Switch from active attack to full defense, and firmly hold on to your Haisang country, and resolutely not allow the hateful National Salvation Army any chance to launch a landing operation."

Robert turned his gaze to Cameron, who was standing beside him with a serious expression, and asked solemnly.

"Dear General Kamlin, I wonder what specific instructions you have received from home?"

Camelin took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

“In fact, the instructions received by our Western countries are exactly the same as those received by your Huajian Country, which requires us to quickly switch from offense to defense.

Moreover, in order to strengthen our defense capabilities, our countries have also decided to send a large number of advanced Army Aviation aircraft to support us. "

He paused and continued, “In addition, the orders given to us by the country are very clear and unquestionable.

That is, under no circumstances should the National Salvation Army be allowed to successfully carry out a landing operation in Haisang Country.

Not only that, we must also do our best to send more fleets to the waters near the two provinces north of Tianlong Kingdom.

Actively assisted the local defenders in resisting the fierce offensive of the National Salvation Army.

The ideal situation would be to prevent the National Salvation Army from successfully recovering these two important provinces to the north.

Because judging by the current situation, if the National Salvation Army cannot completely drive our Haisang country and the multinational coalition forces out of their Tianlong country's territory.

Then they should not take the risk of launching a landing operation against the Haisang Kingdom.

However, going to the waters of the two northern provinces of Tianlong Kingdom to provide support always feels like I'm going to die.

I think it would be better to leave the fleet here until our Army Air Force aircraft arrive, even if we cannot defeat the National Salvation Army's naval fleet.

But we should have no problem protecting ourselves.”

He looked at the situation before him, pondering in his heart.

The bandits and the multinational coalition forces, who had been so aggressive and fierce, now seemed like deflated balls.

From the fierce offensive like a storm at the beginning, it turned into a defensive position.
