Duan Xinjie also dropped a bombshell at the end:
"If you can capture the Gaswu Submersible Order, Dewan Technology, and Nordon Castle, I will personally report to the group and commend you for your achievements. I will upgrade your position as M3 Defense Director to M4 Senior Defense Director!"
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Why did Li Xin want to start a war? Although part of his idea was to make the people of Yadun live a better life.
But the deeper idea is just to get promoted and make money.
M3 is just a small middle-level person in the group sequence, and even M4 is a middle-level person, but at least it has touched the edge of the high-level people on the planet Guansuo 4.
This is an important threshold. If it were not for the war, someone like Li Xin, who came from an ordinary background and had no background, would never have such an opportunity.
Even if there is, it may take until the age of 40, 50, or even older.
Duan Xinjie's words were undoubtedly like the carrot hanging in front of the donkey.
But Li Xin was not blinded by the temptation.
War is not a child's game, nor is it something that can be solved with just a word.
Gasoline Order, Dewan Technology, Nordon Castle.
Although they are all below the plateau of Adon, there is still some distance between them.
The journey from Gasu Monastery to Dewan Technology takes at least one day, and to Nodon Castle, it takes three days.
This is a good thing for Li Xin when attacking, but it will also be a problem if Li Xin is needed to defend.
In order to meet Duan Xinjie's requirements, Li Xin needs not only to attack and take down these three forces, but also to defend against the enemy's counterattack.
Compared to when attacking, Li Xin has a clear grasp of the enemy's intelligence, but when defending, it is an unknown.
Li Xin didn't rush to reply, he was calculating.
He currently has 10,000 Aden garrison troops and 12,000 Aden garrison troops.
If we add a mechanized brigade, an armored regiment, and a howitzer regiment supporting the theater, the number should be close to 6,000.
Twenty-eight thousand people, but it is impossible to take all of them away.
Yadun has just stabilized now, and at least 8,000 people need to be left here as a defensive force, stationed in Yadun to prevent the resistance from resurfacing.
Of these eight thousand soldiers, at least three thousand should be the original blueprint garrison, and the remaining five thousand can be used as garrison troops.
In this case, the only troops Li Xin can use are 20,000 people, which is still a risky number. If the losses are large, the Yadun area may not be safe.
Duan Xinjie didn't keep staring at Li Xin.
Li Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, these troops are not enough to capture the three forces and garrison here."
A simple calculation will show that before the full-scale war broke out, the Gasu Society had four garrison regiments and three field regiments, with a total number of 10,000 people.
Dewan Technology has three brigades with a total of 14,000 people.
As for Nordenburg, there are even more of them, five brigades, with a total of more than 20,000 people.
Although troops have been withdrawn to support wars in other places, the Gasu Order still has four regiments with more than 6,000 people, and Dewan Technology still has two brigades with 8,000 to 9,000 people.
Nordenburg also has two brigades, 9,000 men.
The number of troops they have is greater than what Li Xin can dispatch, and they are on the defensive and have the advantage of fortifications, while Li Xin is on the offensive and has fewer troops. This is a huge problem.
Duan Xinjie said: "It's not enough, but I gave you the elite."
Li Xin said, "I'm confident I can lead them to capture these three areas, but if we want to occupy them, we need more manpower. The three areas are quite far apart. If we divide our forces to defend them, I'm worried that we won't be able to meet the requirements."
Duan Xinjie shook his head and said, "But I no longer have any extra troops to support you."
"Think of other options. The rest are reserves and cannot be called upon at will."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin fell into great confusion and hesitation.
In his plan, it was enough to take down the Gasu Order. Taking down Dewan Technology would be the icing on the cake. He never thought of taking down Nordong Castle as well.
Now Duan Xinjie is forcing the difficulty, and at the same time there are temptations, which is really a headache.
After thinking for a long time, Li Xin still wanted to have a piece of this cake, but he was troubled by the lack of troops at hand.
So he mustered up the courage to ask, "Sir, could you allow us to further expand the garrison at Yadun?"
Duan Xinjie frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed his brows and said, "Do you want to expand further?"
“How many people do you want to expand?”
Li Xin said loudly, "I want to expand to another 20,000 people."
Li Xin was targeting the 20,000 people originally handed over to Duan Qingyan. These 20,000 young people had been under semi-militarized management for nearly a year.
There is no problem in obeying orders. If you take it, you only need simple training for one or two months to become a qualified soldier.
Even if they are not allowed to fight in the field, there should be no problem using them as line-filling infantry and guarding defensive positions.
"Twenty thousand?!"
Duan Xinjie was shocked by Li Xin's loud mouth.
"Can Yadun still afford to expand you by another 20,000?"
Li Xin laughed dryly and said, "I definitely can't afford to support Yadun, so I hope this part of the military expenditure can be provided by our Todute War Zone..."
Duan Xinjie laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "You're not polite at all."
"Twenty thousand people, you really dare to speak?"
Li Xin quickly explained: "There's no need to keep the war zone running. Once we conquer the three forces below, we'll have the money to support them."
Duan Xinjie laughed and said, "Is that what you're planning? Do you also want to follow Lu Quan's example and impose military control in the occupied areas first?"
Li Xin nodded without disguising his thoughts and said, "I do have this idea. The war zone is too dangerous. We can't let the administrators take the risk of managing it."
"In the early stages, we will be under military control. Even if the defense is unfavorable, we can choose to temporarily abandon some positions to avoid losing administrative officials."
Duan Xinjie nodded slightly and said, "You are a person with ideas and courage."
"I approve your plan. I will use the financial support of these 20,000 people to support you."
"But forget about mechanization. Just train and equip them according to motorization."
Li Xin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, sir!"
Duan Xinjie laughed and said, "Thanking me is useless. I just want victory. If I've met all your requirements and you still can't do it, then you can just wait to be kicked out of M3."
Li Xin immediately responded loudly: "Please rest assured, sir!"
"If we don't succeed in this battle, we will die!"
Duan Xinjie nodded. "Alright, that's enough for us in private. Today is your performance review and promotion meeting, so get busy!"
"Yes, sir!"
