Chapter 2008: Two-Front War

Hearing this, Harris no longer continued to pester Jiang Xuan.

But this did not mean that Harris completely trusted Jiang Xuan; he had already prepared a follow-up plan, and if Jiang Xuan did not fulfill his promise as he had said, he would stir up a struggle once again.

Jiang Xuan did not care about Harris's thoughts, nor did he intend to prove his words.

This was meaningless to him.

Harris stated their plan to attack the Wahala Tribe.

Jiang Xuan took out a map of North Africa, and Harris was extremely surprised when he looked at it; this map detailed the various forces and their movements.

Except for the country established by the black people on the Ethiopian Plateau.

Almost the entire situation in North Africa was clearly marked, which was terrifying; Harris had never seen such a comprehensive map.

Especially since this area belonged to several different countries; not only was there France, but also Britain, Italy, Bilia, and many other countries' colonial forces entrenched here.

But this map indeed marked their marching movements; without powerful intelligence capabilities, such a map could not have been created at all.

Harris was even more surprised at the power of Longyan, and at the same time lamented why someone as powerful as Nashadier would become a general of the Longyan Army.

He also knew that the fundamental purpose of Jiang Xuan taking out this map was to give him a warning.

Jiang Xuan pointed to the location of the Wahala Tribe on the map, noting that this was a grassland area.

He said in a deep voice: "Harris, according to your plan, you intend to enter the Ethiopian Plateau from the Wahala Tribe."

"There is no problem with this; the Wahala Tribe is your only path, and it needs to be eradicated."

"But you are now signaling a decisive battle with Smith's troops, and the Insurgent Army is marching with great fanfare while fighting on the opponent's home turf; do you not think the other side will set a trap?"

Harris retorted: "Naturally, it is possible, but the Wahala Tribe area is the hometown of Henry and me, and the nearby tribes will cooperate with our attack. Regarding this point, General, you have absolutely no need to worry."

Jiang Xuan shook his head and said: "I don't know the situation of those tribes, but based on the current circumstances, they may not necessarily stand on your side."

"The contradictions and differences between your tribes are very great; when Nashadier was forming the Insurgent Army, it was not the first time he discussed the contradictions and conflicts between the various tribes in Egypt with me."

"Even if they do cooperate with you, we need to prepare sufficient contingency plans to prevent the worst-case scenario from occurring."

Harris calmed his mind and pondered for a moment, feeling that what Jiang Xuan said was not without reason; the Wahala Tribe was the most combat-capable tribe in the area, but his opponents also coveted them.

If these tribes were asked to cooperate, it was very likely they would be set up.

After thinking of this, Harris looked at Jiang Xuan and asked: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Xuan's finger landed on the Wahala Tribe, and he said in a deep voice: "My suggestion is a surprise attack on the French troops; do not give Smith a chance to react, and do not give those tribes time to coordinate."

"Your most powerful branch is the Cavalry; on the grassland, the French troops cannot contend with your cavalry. Under such combat conditions, your troops will gain the greatest advantage."

Harris nodded; Jiang Xuan's idea coincided with his own.

He added: "I need the Longyan Army to cooperate with us and not send reinforcements to the Wahala Tribe area; only in this situation can our Insurgent Army ensure that the Wahala Tribe is taken."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "As you wish."

For Jiang Xuan, who had already opened up the Nile River, pinning down the French troops was not a difficult task.

The current main force of the French troops was exerting all its strength just to remain in a stalemate with the Longyan Army.

If the Longyan Army continued to send reinforcements, the main force of the French troops would inevitably see its front line collapse.

At that time, Dawn would only have the option of continuing to send troops to stabilize the front line.

But the crux of this war did not lie in crushing the Wahala Tribe; that would not allow them to achieve final victory.

It would only lead to Dodge shrinking the front line, making the strength of the French troops more concentrated.

The victory of this war would inevitably be the total collapse of France's two industrial zones.

The last time Jiang Xuan led the Longyan Army, he chose to retreat when facing the industrial zone on the Ethiopian Plateau.

From the direction he was attacking, it would take a long time to break through the pass between France's two industrial zones.

Therefore, what he wanted was Nashadier's cooperation.

The Wahala Tribe was the most important soft underbelly of the two industrial zones; once this place was breached, the entire industrial zone would face a major crisis.

Once the Wahala Tribe fell, the French region would definitely become tense instantly.

At that time, Nashadier's troops would be needed to drag down the main force of the French.

"According to the remaining strength you would have after breaking through the Wahala Tribe, how much strength would you have left, and how long could you hold off the main force of the French?"

Jiang Xuan threw out this most critical question.

Harris pondered for a moment and said: "At most one week. Although the Wahala Tribe has no high mountains or steep ridges to defend, the Wahala grassland has a Wolf Pack and swamps; we will use these to deal with the main force of the French troops."

Jiang Xuan nodded: "Good, after you go back, tell Nashadier to attack Smith's troops immediately. I will launch a fierce attack on the main force of the French in three days to pin down his main force."

Harris and Jiang Xuan finally finalized this battle plan.

Time was tight and the task was heavy; Harris did not linger at all and immediately left the Nile River area.

This area was a plain, and after the tug-of-war with the French troops, this area had become a dead zone.

Everywhere were traces of artillery fire; the cities along the Nile River were once the most developed cities in Egypt, but now only broken walls and ruins remained, telling of a once-prosperous history.

Harris felt a bit emotional, but he did not linger and set off to leave.

The journey back was smooth; the French troops were pinned down by the Longyan Army, and the day's fighting was enough to drain all the energy from these exhausted soldiers.

They fell asleep as soon as they hit the ground in the camp, let alone patrolling or standing guard.

Harris passed through successfully and soon returned to the Sugela Tribe area.

Only upon arriving here did he truly feel safe.

As soon as Nashadier heard that Harris had returned, he threw on a garment and immediately summoned him.

Harris informed Nashadier of the plan Jiang Xuan had mentioned.

After pondering for a moment, Nashadier immediately assembled his troops.

The Cavalry was urgently mobilized in the dark of night.

A showdown with the French troops was about to arrive!
