Chapter 783
The king of the Nanda dynasty looked at the few people around him and asked suspiciously.
The last Indian expedition ended in failure.
And it was a very complete failure. According to the general's report, it was because they were caught in Daqin's trap.
But these are just their one-sided words after all, and the truth of the matter has not yet been investigated clearly.
It's not that King Nanda doesn't trust his generals, it's just that he thinks this matter is a bit strange.
With the strength of the Indian army, even if the enemy had already ambushed, it should not be defeated.
After all, the military capabilities of the Nanda Dynasty had already been verified.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape from the chaos of the Eighteen Kingdoms and become the master of this land.
The strength of the Nanda Dynasty is obvious to all. How could it be possible to fail completely because of some traps.
This kind of rhetoric is really unconvincing.
According to the description in the general who came back, they almost defeated Daqin's army even though they were trapped and ambushed.
If such a report is true, it is also possible to directly annihilate Daqin by reassembling more troops.
But if there are still variables in it, all this will be unknowable.
What King Nanda is worried about at this moment is the unknowable variable.
Although they are powerful, they are too far away from Daqin after all.
Among other things, just arriving from India to the Lingnan port of Daqin is already very difficult.
Along the way, the consumption of various materials alone is an astronomical figure.
If Daqin is really weak, it's okay to say that as long as Daqin's land can be won, all this is worth it.
But if Daqin is not as weak as it appears on the surface, and they fail again, it is not just a matter of material loss.
But when King Nanda raised this question, a minister in white beside him slapped the table and said:
"If you don't send troops, wouldn't the soldiers of my dynasty die in vain?"
The minister who spoke was the most powerful person in the Nanda Dynasty. As soon as he spoke, six of the ten people next to him immediately bowed their heads.
They made it clear that they wanted to support the minister who spoke.
But not everyone supports him.
A minister sitting directly across from him, did not wait for King Nanda to speak, but also opened his mouth to refute.
"The king's worry is not unreasonable. If this is the enemy's plan, then our dynasty's army will be self-defeating. Can you bear it by then?"
This minister in black is also a high-ranking person, but it can be seen from the status of the people on the table that his power is not as powerful as the person who just spoke.
It's just that even if it's weak, it's not much weaker.
The minister in white glared at his old opponent, and said with a sneer, "If you don't suffer the crime of insulting the reputation of the dynasty, can you afford it?"
The two started arguing on the huge conference table.
At this moment, King Nanda is like a fake, he can only watch the two people in front of him argue.
As for the rest of the people, they didn't dare to speak, they just supported their leaders.
From time to time, they also set their sights on King Nanda on the throne.
More or less in their hearts at this time, there is some bitterness.
The king in front of him is still respected as a king by everyone, even though he is on the surface.
But if you want to compare it with the previous king of the Nanda Dynasty, the difference is not even a star.
It goes without saying that the current King Nanda is too young, with very little experience and experience.
Although he sat on the position of king, he was just like a puppet in this treacherous political abyss.
His own ability is not strong enough, and the ministers under him are too strong. This is the current political situation of the Nanda Dynasty.
In other words, in fact, King Nanda's ability could not support such a dynasty at all.
That's why the scene in front of me has appeared. In fact, these people and ministers have the final say on how to proceed with major national affairs.
Although it is said that the king made it on the surface, in fact, he only has a small part of the power to deal with these matters.
As for the final decision-making power, that is simply a joke.
He wants to object, and there is absolutely no way to object.
In the end, the words of King Nanda did not have any effect, and India decided to send troops to conquer Daqin again.
When the Indian army was gathering.
Daqin's army was not idle either.
Because Ying Yu has decided to go out early, all actions are ahead of schedule.
Ying Yu's plan is to send all the support troops sent to Africa, as well as the soldiers who attacked India, without delay.
And the candidate to lead the army is none other than Meng Tian.
Ying Yu's meaning is very clear, that is to let Meng Tian lead the army to complete the crushing directly.
Defeat India with the fastest speed and seize this springboard for Daqin to attack the world.
After receiving Ying Yu's transfer order, Meng Tian was also quite shocked.
This time, the whole country was going to be fought, and the strength of this country was definitely not weak.
As for how strong they are, according to Meng Tian's estimate.
If Daqin is still at the level of unification just now, and wants to compete with a big country like India, then it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.
If the Indian army is coming towards Daqin, the battlefield will be closer to Daqin.
Da Qin has greater confidence that he can defeat them.
But on the other hand, if Da Qin took the initiative to attack them, the winning rate would be very small.
The victory or defeat of this kind of war is affected by many factors.
Among them, the most influential one is the transshipment of grain and grass.
Such a battle across many seas is extremely particular about the transportation needs of food, grass and other materials.
Once there is a problem in any of these links, all the troops will face disaster.
Therefore, before such a war is won or defeated, there is a risk to bear.
This risk may be a disaster for the entire army, and it is absolutely impossible not to consider it.
So if it was the Great Qin Dynasty in the past, it would be absolutely impossible for such a war to go on.
But now, it's different.
The ships used by Daqin to transport grain and grass can transport supplies unimpeded even in the absence of wind.
Soldiers' combat equipment, ships' heavy artillery gunpowder, grain shipments, and rubber barrels for clear water, all these things are added together.
It has made Daqin's fleet absolutely invincible.
It can be said that without the same technology, no matter what enemy they face, it is impossible for them to have the slightest chance of victory.
This is absolutely certain.
So Meng Tian is not worried about any accidents in this war.
