One Hundred and Fifty-Nine Joy and Sorrow
"The Velonsa area is not stable now. In this case, we should not rashly fight the Holy Demon Empire... Even if we have a military advantage, after we occupy there, there is no way to guarantee the absolute stability of the rear. I'm done." General Lester, the commander of the 2nd Army, was full of concerns.
His army is the main army that Alan Hill focuses on building. If his army is blocked in the Greken area, it means that half of the army's armored forces will be scrapped in Greken.
The more modern combat troops are, the more they rely on logistical supplies. The entire army has tens of thousands of vehicles, as well as large-scale armored vehicles and tanks. There may be a lot of engines scrapped every day. If you leave the large rear of Ireland Hill, the entire army will be completely lost in a few days. Combat effectiveness .
What worries him even more is that once Grecon is to be reinforced, it will not necessarily only use his 2nd Army, but may also include the main force of the 1st Army.
In addition to the 7th and 9th Army Groups that may be approaching, the 3rd Army Group, which has been serving as the general reserve team, nearly half of Ailan Hill's troops, may take the initiative to get into the big pocket of the Holy Demon Empire.
Therefore, as the commander of the 2nd Army, it is necessary and obligatory for him to make His Majesty the Emperor aware of the serious problems he may face: "We cannot pin all our hopes on the noble sentiments of the Holy Demon Empire. "
"Indeed, those magicians have become very excited now. Some of the work we have carried out over there has been supported by the locals, and some of them have been resisted." Deans, who was in charge of internal affairs, followed.
There is indeed some instability in the Velonsa area recently. The 2nd Army and the 7th Army can maintain local stability when they are stationed there, but if these forces leave, will there be any chaos in the local area? Not so predictable.
After all, it is not the Arrant Empire, nor the Dothan Empire. It has been ruled by the Holy Devil Empire for thousands of years. Their thoughts are deeply ingrained. If they can change it in a short time, it will be a ghost.
Unless, Chris can destroy the entire Holy Demon Empire in a short period of time, and eliminate all the hostile forces that are looking for trouble, otherwise the Veronsa area will be in chaos like this, and it will be possible to settle down in a few years. .
"If the magician is in chaos, it will bring huge pressure to our logistics. If we can't maintain the stability of the rear, our mechanized troops will easily be paralyzed on the front line." General Wald of the 1st Army followed. nodded and said.
Three years ago, Wald and Lester were still ordinary young people in the army, and now they are thirty-five years old, sitting in the position of commander of the army. This has to be said to be the miracle brought about by the Magic Sphere, and also the miracle of Alan Hill's rise.
"Yeah, if those mages really attack the logistics supply line, then our troops will be left in Greken." Chris is also very worried that his troops will be intercepted by the other party on their way back, and then he will really I want to cry without tears.
It is very likely that the armored troops he has accumulated will be paralyzed in Greken and become scrap iron, and the Holy Demon Empire will gain a short-term military advantage, retake the territory occupied by Alan Hill, and take Alan Hill's Areas like Higgs became battlefields.
"They all use magic, and we are not easy to manage. Any magician, if he wants to, seems to be able to destroy our railroad tracks or blow up the road." Deans is the minister in charge of internal affairs, so in addition to protecting Chris's close Beyond the guards,
Those Guard soldiers who were investigated and arrested were actually controlled by him.
He has a great say in this regard. Recently, the Guards of the Interior Department have arrested thousands of magician rebels in the Velonsa area, more than the rebels in other areas combined.
When he was talking, Chris couldn't stop nodding. Magicians are really not easy to manage. These people seem to be born with dangerous targets with guns. Managing them will face countless times more complicated problems than managing ordinary people. This in itself It's a management cost.
"Indeed, it is indeed very problematic! They can attack us, but we cannot effectively supervise them..." Vagron originally planned to start a full-scale war against the Holy Demon Empire in the last few months, but because of the Velonsa area Due to the unrest, he has not yet prepared his own offensive plan.
Once the attack begins, all supplies will need to be transported from the Higgs area after the supplies hoarded in Velonza are depleted. And if you want to attack the Holy Demon Empire itself, it means that you have to traverse the entire Veronsa area and the war zone, and all the way is the area controlled by the magician.
Once these magicians start to cause trouble for Ailan Hill, Ailan Hill's transportation is likely to collapse in a short time. Even if they attacked the Holy Demon Empire, they would be in a dilemma, and in the end they could only bring back most of the troops.
"The Guards have already made great efforts to arrest people, but the Veronsa area still cannot be completely settled. We can effectively supervise and crack down on rallies and other premeditated activities, but we have no way to supervise those who act alone. Magician." Deans paused when he said this and looked at Chris.
"We are worried that we will fall into the ocean of people's war..." Before Chris could speak, after a long pause, he continued in a slow tone: "If there are too many magicians acting alone, we will There is no way to ensure the smooth flow of logistics.”
The conference room was much quieter, and no one laughed wantonly now. After being slapped in the face by reality, they could only admit gloomily that their previous idea of wanting to defeat the Holy Demon Empire immediately was too naive.
Although Ailan Hill is powerful, the defect that its troops must rely on supplies is also very obvious. When there is no way to guarantee their own supplies, the combat effectiveness of these troops is not much stronger than those of soldiers with big swords and spears.
"Let's go to the Holy Demon Empire with another book from another country... Try to be softer in language..." Des, who was sitting next to Chris, opened his mouth and said his suggestion.
His words made everyone more silent. After all, they laughed with His Majesty Emperor Chris in this conference room before, but now they can only give up their original plans and compromise with reality.
"It's no big deal, we'll send our ideas to Grecon and let them give us their opinions!" Chris squeezed a smile and said, "If they think we just need a railroad to go to Grecon, Then we'll do as they say."
"Before we occupied all the mortal areas, and the contradictions were not prominent. In the future, we will face more and more areas occupied by the Magic Empire. Now is the time for us to accumulate experience. Don't be so sad." He said After finishing, he got up with a smile and left the conference room.
Everyone's heart is very heavy. After all, the war will not start in a short period of time, which means that Alan Hill's expansion has entered a bottleneck stage, and Velonsa has become a cancer that is difficult for Alan Hill to swallow. Extremely uncomfortable in the throat.
Just when everyone was in a bad mood, Minister Smith knocked on Chris's door and stood at the door of Chris' office.
The big engineer who was very busy on weekdays brought the work report in person this time, and the happy expression on his face could not be hidden.
As soon as he entered the door, he shoved a test report to Chris, and reported the news that Chris wanted to hear most: "Your Majesty! The geological department called, and the deadly stone you were looking for has been found. "
"What stone did you say? Wait, you say stone?" Chris raised his head from the document and looked at Smith, his confidant, with a shocked expression: "You mean, we have found the uranium 235 ore. ?"
"Yes! Your Majesty! The geologists have found that kind of stone. Our reserves are not low. It can even be described as abundant." Smith still doesn't know what the use of that kind of stone is. He is in charge of industry. Minister, has no right to ask about the "596 Project".
Because this otherworldly version of the "project" has been top secret since the very beginning, only a few specific people know about it. Many of them only know the details of a few of them, and when they are put together, they form the entire 596 of the huge scale.
After all, there is no need to calculate and measure, and all the details Chris can copy from the technical book, so the most torturous part of the whole project is not the design and manufacturing, but the search for raw materials.
Now, this raw material has been found, which means that Chris has an incomprehensible super attack method. As long as he is really ruthless, he can destroy a city in one fell swoop, leaving an area without grass...
"Great! Immediately mine this ore, and then send it to the factory responsible for screening and purifying this ore... It's the one we built before, the factory code-named Y!" Chris ordered excitedly.
Then he remembered some questions, looked at Smith and said, "The geologists and personnel who are looking for the veins are all in strict accordance with the regulations and have prepared a full set of radiation protection equipment before entering the mining area, right?"
"Because of troubles and transportation difficulties, they did not perform their tasks in full accordance with the regulations..." Smith said regretfully: "It seems that 17 people are feeling unwell now..."
"I see... Arrange them as best you can... Don't make any mistakes! They are the heroes of the country!" Chris walked to the door and turned back to instruct Smith.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Smith nodded in acknowledgement.
