Chapter 1254 – Meat Grinder Operation

“Your majesty, I feel that before we disarm, we should deal with Tibet and Java first. Only then can we clear all problems and disarm in peace.” Jia Xu said.

“I agree!”

Du Ruhui nodded his head in agreement and said, “The Africa war matter has stopped for now, and the mid plains have been unified. America is also really calm, so it’s the best time to focus our efforts on wiping out those two countries.”

Zhang Liang added, “The Ashoka Dynasty in India is one of our biggest obstacles to ruling Asia. It has also swallowed up the Tibet Dynasty and insulted the honor of China. We must not compromise. We have to fight back strongly to chase them away and protect the honor of China.”

Ouyang Shuo looked toward Jia Xu and asked, “Do you have a plan?”

“Yes.”

Jia Xu suppressed the trepidation in his heart and described his meatgrinder operation. The moment he finished speaking, the air in the entire Imperial Reading Room froze, directly falling by 10 degrees.

“This…”

Ouyang Shuo’s brows were locked tight as he paced around the room.

On the other hand, Zhang Liang and Du Ruhui stared at Jia Xu with fear and respect. No one could have expected him to be so crazy.

The Ashoka Dynasty was strong because of its 4.5 million imperial city guards.

Jia Xu’s meat grinder operation involved fighting them head on by sending the two million troops to Tibet. Under the command of the northwest warzone, these troops would wear them down.

He planned to make the Tibet Dynasty into a giant meat grinder.

“With that, not only can we destroy their army, but we can also settle the two million troops. It is killing two birds with one stone. Only the survivors will have the right to join the Great Xia Army.”

Jia Xu described it as such.

Ouyang Shuo sat down once more. He looked at Du Ruhui and asked, “Keming, what do you think?”

“The road from the Shu Lands to Tibet is tough, and they would need to go through mountains and ridges. To move them to the frontlines is really difficult, much less the resources needed to support the two million of them; this is harder than scaling the heavens.”

Du Ruhui was indirectly opposing the plan.

Truthfully, if one needed to support for the two million troops, a single Shu Lands Province would not be enough. Transporting from Shu to Tibet was tough while transporting from other provinces to Shu was also difficult.

Even if one transported resources from the nearest Jingchu Province to Tibet, the consumption on the road would still be shocking.

“It would not be worth it.” Du Ruhui said.

Jia Xu had a different idea and argued, “It is hard for us, but it’s also hard for them. At such a time, it’s a battle of determination. The party that is more vicious will win.”

Du Ruhui still disagreed and said, “Can we send troops from Hetao Province instead? With the Nanjiang Governor-General House as a backline, the resource line would be smoother.”

Jia Xu shook his head and replied, “We can only attack the Peacock Dynasty from Hetao.”

“Nothing is wrong with that.”

The two of them debated with one another while Ouyang Shuo sat there silently, allowing the matter to play out.

Jia Xu said, “The Ashoka Dynasty is the biggest problem for our empire right now. If we attack the Peacock Dynasty, even if we win, we would still have to face the threat of a peak Ashoka Dynasty. Who knows, maybe the Gupta Dynasty would even join in. If we fail to defend, we will be giving the Ashoka Dynasty a free gift.”

“Furthermore, attacking the Peacock Dynasty will not solve the Tibet problem. Since we have confirmed that Ashoka is the biggest threat, we must stop at nothing to destroy them.”

Du Ruhui retorted, “If we waste a large amount of resources to wear down the Ashoka Dynasty, won’t we be giving the Peacock and Gupta dynasties a freebie too?”

Jia Xu smiled and replied, “The current India situation is one strong and two weak. After Ashoka shows invasive tendency, the Peacock and Gupta dynasties would start to feel uneasy.”

“If the Ashoka Dynasty enters the Battle of Tibet, not only will they not help, but they will even attack the Ashoka Dynasty in India.”

“Hence, regardless of which side wins, it would weaken the overall strength of India and build a firm foundation for our future strategy there.”

Du Ruhui was at a loss for words. He did not expect that Jia Xu would have actually thought through it all already.

It was obvious that this meat grinder operation was not thought of on the spot and was deduced after a long period of time. It was only taken out after all directions were considered.

Weirdly, they did not debate whether sending the two million soldiers to die was fair and acceptable. It was apparent that they had reached a common understanding on this point.

Jia Xu added, “The grain transport matter is not as difficult as it seems. Apart from the Shu Lands, Xihai, Yunnan and Nanjiang’s Hetao are all connected to it. We can transport resources from these four places into Tibet.”

“In this aspect, we have an advantage over the Ashoka Dynasty. Moreover, the first grain season has ended, and the huge harvest is enough to support this battle of attrition.”

“The heavens are blessing us, and we can settle this in one blow.” Jia Xu concluded.

Du Ruhui had nothing else to say, so he bowed towards Ouyang Shuo and concluded, “Your majesty, I have no opposing opinion.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded before looking toward Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang stood up and bowed before saying, “Your majesty, I feel that there’s risk involved, but it’s one that we should take.”

“Since that’s the case, let’s do it!”

At this moment, Ouyang Shuo’s voice was emotionless; it was so rational that it sent a chill down one’s spine.

The moment those words were said, it affected the fates of two million soldiers as well as the laborers from 10 surrounding provinces, affecting the grain and resource storage from the last half a year.

Even though it was such an important matter, Ouyang Shuo had learned how to handle it simply and causally.

“Yes, my emperor!”

Zhang Liang, Du Ruhui, and Jia Xu all bowed in an orderly manner before leaving.

…

At the end of the 7th month, without the Ashoka Dynasty knowing anything at all, Great Xia started the largest scale logistical movement since the country was established.

With the Privy Court coordinating everything, along with the help of the Nanjiang Governor-General House and other offices, tens of millions of grain and resources flooded toward Xihai, Shu Lands, Yunnan, and Hetao.

Based on the Imperial Court requirements, Guanxi and Hedong were connected to Xihai Province and was the north transport line. Meanwhile, Jingchu and Xiangnan were connected to the Shu Lands.

Chuanbei and Chuannan were connected to Yunnan.

Hanoi was connected to Hetao Province and was the south transport line.

As such, to prepare for the Battle of Tibet, Great Xia was making use of the resources from 11 provinces. This matter was not only unprecedented in Great Xia but also in the entire world.

For this war, Great Xia was really going all out!
