The Grassland Alliance Invasion Part 2
Since Puntadewa was appointed, he has spent all his work out of town. For the army to leave the outer wall meant that all its hard work would be in vain.
"I also doubt." Dudung. “Not talking about the outer city being destroyed, if we retreat and defend the inner city, we should split into 3. The prairie troops are all cavalry, so they can break contact between the three inner cities and make us fight. For ourselves."
Raden Partajumena was unaffected by Puntadewa and Dudung, seeing Gajah Mada. "Do you have any other plans?" Although he knew her for less than a mouth, he was impressed by this man's abilities. He had foresight and would definitely think about the matter he raised.
As Raden Partajumena spoke those words, Dudung's face flushed; he was ashamed. He was too rash and wanted to prove himself, so he did not consider the deep meaning of Gajah Mada's words.
Puntadewa looks very bitter because the outer city is his pain. Of course he didn't want to see her disappear.
Gajah Mada looked at Dudung, and his eyes brought with them spirit and comfort. “Retreating to defend the city center does not mean giving up the city outside. Removing the wall does not mean not surviving. As General Partajumena said, the enemy is made up of cavalry, and they are not good at besieging.”
“Outside cities can act as our frontline defense. As for economic losses?” Speaking here, Gajah Mada was expressionless. "This is war. We are the defending side, so we will definitely lose. Not to mention the outer city, even the city would suffer losses. This is a large-scale war, and to win, we must be able to sacrifice.”
Gajah Mada is expected to be a determined and quick thinking person.
Puntadewa is still very bitter and wants to retaliate. After thinking about it, he returned to his seat and did not say a word.
Raden Partajumena who saw the situation, heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Puntadewa would disagree. The separation of the army and the administration was not in vain. Gajah Mada, during wartime, had absolute power over everything.
The reason he invited Puntadewa was because there were several military operations that needed his help. To influence military plans, he was not strong enough as a prefect.
In that region, only the ruler could influence the military plan.
The rumors were about the elder brother of the father-in-law and the younger brother-in-law, one controlling the military, and the other controlling the prefecture. Now that Heru Cokro was not here, the territory was theirs.
Although Raden Partajumena never had such thoughts, he still had to pay attention to it.
Puntadewa was also an old fox, and he clearly heard the rumors. Therefore with such consideration, he suddenly gave up arguing with Gajah Mada.
As for his losses, he was the one who had to deal with them.
“Director Mada can relax, Administrative Department and Department of Home Affairs will help calm the masses.” Kawis Guwa helps civil servants express their attitude and support.
Gajah Mada nodded.
Next is the reorganization of the army. With only the 2nd division and the city protection division, it would be difficult to defend against it. But to attack and destroy an enemy was too difficult.
Although Heru Cokro did not explain it, Raden Partajumena suspected that he wanted to use this battle to finish Gresik and lay the foundation for the expansion of the territory. Therefore, he needed to move the other divisions to help.
The 3rd Division was blocked by Smelter. The 1st Division would definitely be moved and western defense could temporarily be provided to various city protection squads.
The crux of the matter was whether to move the 4th division or not.
The 4th Division is always kept secret. Be it the scouts from the prairie or the spies from Smelter, no one knew of its existence.
They only knew that Le Moesiek Revole had a large city protection army. Therefore, the prairie tribe arranged for 8000 people to pay attention to the city.
This, this is the biggest battle changer.
After a discussion, Raden Partajumena decided not to use this trump card.
The final issue was whether the Pantura Navy fleet needed to join.
The Pantura squadron has returned from Kalimantan. Because the shipyard had not completed the ship's tower, the 2nd expedition was postponed and the squadron remained in Java Dwipa.
"Let them wait for orders just in case." Gajah Mada being firm does not mean he is not careful. In this kind of battle, one more power was another chance.
"I agree!" Raden Partajumena supported this, and hence everything was decided just like that.
After the meeting, the wheels of the territory war machine began to spin.
The Javanese Manor lord Dwipa declared a state of war, and all the cities were locked up. People can only enter but cannot get out. All relays are also closed, and mail delivery is prohibited.
The Department of Military Affairs uses the hajj sparrows to spread orders to various divisions.
When the 1st division received the order, they immediately left the western camp of the city. The 2nd Division left the camp north of the city. Before leaving, they destroyed the camp. The third division was in the camp east of the city and was waiting for an opportunity. The 4th Division quietly left the Cretaceous Mountain and gathered at Le Moesiek Revole.
The city protection division is tasked with improving the defense work of Java Dwipa.
Before the war began, scouts from both sides had already started killing each other. Joining the scouting mission on the Java side of Dwipa, in addition to the Military Intelligence Division spies, there is a 2nd division scouting squad and a city protection division.
Based on riding skills, the prairie cavalry was naturally better; but in reconnaissance, they were still a long way off.
Every movement of the prairie alliance troops was visible to the scouts. And every important intel was disseminated back to Java Dwipa by the hajj sparrows.
The commander unit, in addition to Raden Partajumena, there is the Gajah Mada war division. After a month of preparation, the structure of the war division was formed and was first shown.
The war division consisted of 12 people chosen by Gajah Mada, who had a lot of experience and believed in the philosophy of war, so they were very knowledgeable.
Two of them help each other, it's perfect.
The saint effect of war still works because every day, so people will come to the city.
Under the instructions of Heru Cokro, the construction of the Army Military Academy was very smooth and its main body had basically been completed. Half a month and the whole project will be finished.
The role of the war division was to utilize intel and create battle plans and act as advisers.
Highly efficient intelligence networks, highly skilled advisors, and pre-prepared logistics. Gajah Mada made the Department of Military Affairs a weapon for the army. This was also what Heru Cokro had always wanted for that department.
All of this, from the point of view of the prairie alliance, was unimaginable. Since the beginning of the war, both sides have been on different levels.
With the support of the Military Affairs Department, Raden Partajumena was easier to govern. So, he had fewer things to worry about.
