Prelude to the Two Hundred Wars
A telegraph operator guarding the telegraph office in the city of Ireland Hillsiris held the earphone with one hand and recorded the contents of the telegram in the notebook with the other hand. When he was halfway through recording, his eyes suddenly widened: "I X..."
He tore off the telegram, handed it to his superior, and said, "The big thing is bad! Send this telegram to His Majesty immediately!"
About half an hour later, the car of the Minister of Defense, Archduke Castner, stopped in front of the gate of Serris Castle, and looked at Deans, the Minister of the Interior of Ireland Hill, who had also just arrived, in shock.
"It's urgent, so I won't chat here! Please!" Castner made a gesture to let Deans go first, and Deans also made a gesture to let Castner go together. They walked side by side, brought their respective secretaries, and walked into the castle.
The chief of the general staff, Rokai, who was closest to the castle, was already standing in front of the huge map in the conference room. He was debating to Chris the possible strategic countermeasures that Alan Hill might develop.
The meeting didn't start until everyone came. Des went to the south to inspect the business development in the Dothan area, and Strid, on behalf of Chris, went to the Prairie area to inspect, and was not in Serris.
The remaining officials should be on their way. Chris knew that Wagron would be there soon, and immediately ordered: "We won't wait for them, let's have a meeting!"
Everyone felt caught off guard. Castner was the first to speak. He looked at the map strangely and asked, "Why did the puppet empire attack the Eternal Empire?"
"I don't know, maybe they're crazy, maybe they're bewitched by demons." Diens shook his head and looked at Chris, who had an ugly face.
Chris finally knew why he had been feeling uneasy for the past two days. Now he knew that the attitude of the puppet empire was actually the root cause of his unease.
Kastner looked at Luo Kai and asked in a targeted manner, "Why is there no information at all?"
"Do you think we can plant spies in the puppet empire?" Luo Kai answered tit for tat.
"It seems that after strengthening the defense, there are not many spies of the puppet empire on our side." Diens waved his hand and explained: "The intelligence gains of both parties are very limited."
Luo Kai nodded and continued to explain: "Frankly speaking, it's like two different races. It's really not easy to infiltrate each other's country."
"However, in comparison,
Infiltrating our side, the puppet empire has a natural advantage, no matter how we control it, there will always be some fools with stupid ideas, but the puppet's execution of the order is estimated to not be discounted..." Deans agreed with Luo Kai's statement .
Indeed, in terms of intelligence, the Magic Empire has a natural advantage over Alan Hill, which has just risen. Although Ailan Hill attaches great importance to the work of espionage, it cannot make up for the congenital defects.
On the one hand, the intelligence penetration of the magic empire in the mortal world has always existed, and many spokespersons of the magic world are hidden in the mortal world. This fact cannot be changed in a short period of time.
On the other hand, it is the loyal spy that Alan Hill has cultivated, but they are all faceless in the Magic Empire - as long as the other party strictly checks the personnel who have entered the Magic Empire in the past two or three years, they can easily find love. Ranger's intelligence officer.
This unequal intelligence war has caused Alan Hill to suffer a lot: although some information can be obtained from Greken and the Eternal Empire, overall, Alan Hill is in a state of loss in the espionage war. of.
Chris interrupted them and pointed the topic back in the right direction: "It's useless to discuss this now, the Eternal Empire is being invaded, and they have sent a telegram to us and Greken for help at the same time!"
"Actually, compared to a few years ago, our response speed has been very fast. If it were three years ago, we might only get the news of the puppet empire's invasion of the Eternal Empire in a month." Luo Kai laughed at himself. , explained: "We have a mobilization plan and an aid plan, which were drawn up a few months ago."
"I hope that these plans will not cause any trouble when they are implemented." Castner glanced at Roquet and said to Chris: "The Department of Defense still thinks that we should mobilize the army immediately and issue an alert for combat readiness. it is good."
"Agreed!" Deans nodded.
Gurlo, who had just entered the room, pulled out a chair and nodded to Chris as he spoke, "Agree!"
Because they have been worried about the unfavorable actions of the puppet empire, Alan Hill is also doing a lot of preparations. Many contingency plans are related to the puppet empire, and the most radical even has a plan to use long-range strategic bombers through the Norma Empire to carry out a strategic nuclear strike on the puppet empire.
Of course, this plan itself has too many shortcomings, and unless it is a last resort, the Air Force of Ireland Hill still does not recommend the use of this attack method.
After all, the puppet empire is a super magic empire that can compete with Greiken. This empire is too mysterious, and rashly using nuclear weapons to attack may not have much effect.
If the nuclear weapon is taken away by a high-level magician as powerful as Vivian in the hands of the opponent, wouldn't Alan Hill be making a wedding dress for others?
In addition, transporting nuclear bombs into the Norma Empire is not a good plan, so this plan is regarded as a last resort countermeasure, and it is suppressed at the bottom of all plans.
"The puppet empire is already on the side of the devil, there is no doubt about it. The question now is..." Chris wanted to summarize, and then released some reinforcements for the eternal empire, as well as strategies for the puppet empire.
"Dangdang! Report!" But before he could say this, he was interrupted by a knock at the door by an officer.
"Come in!" Chris ordered with a bad feeling.
"Your Majesty! The news I just received, the news brought by a dragon knight of the Holy Demon Empire who ventured across the border, the Holy Demon Empire has already stood on the side of the puppet empire!" The officer handed the telegram to Chris, standing at attention and saluting for reporting.
Just now, his colleague passed the news of the puppet empire's declaration of war on the Eternal Empire to Chris. Now, he has come to report the news of the Holy Demon Empire's declaration of war on Alan Hill.
"What?" Hearing this news, Kastner stood up from his seat in shock. The Holy Demon Empire declared war on Alan Hill at this time, but it really made things worse.
Beside him, Gurlo also felt that this matter was too unbelievable: "How is this possible?"
In their opinion, since the Holy Demon Empire let the railway pass through their territory, it is equivalent to being on the side of Alan Hill and Greken, how could they betray at such a time?
Diens is also very reluctant to believe that the situation they are facing now: "What is the Holy Demon Empire doing? Are they crazy?"
Castner looked at Deans and reluctantly confirmed, "Then our westward railway is over?"
"The entire railway is in danger of being attacked..." Deans felt that his whole body was not well, and he could even feel what Chris was feeling right now.
"What about the supplies of the 9th Army?" Luo Kai turned pale, looked at Chris, who had the same ugly face, and asked subconsciously.
He is now also without a master. It is an army that hangs alone. The hundreds of thousands of troops have no logistical supplies. For Ailan Hill, it is hundreds of thousands of lambs to be slaughtered.
"There's no time to worry about the 9th Army at this time! There are at least tens of thousands of road maintenance troops and management personnel on the entire railway... it's over! It's over!" Minister Smith of the technical department who had not spoken for a while was heartbroken. They are all talents that have been trained and accumulated.
Do you want to know what Elland Hill lacks the most? It's talent! Every position needs a lot of talents, and even with the help of the knowledge magic ball, the talent gap is difficult to fill in a short period of time.
But this time, only on the first day of the war, Ireland Hill will lose about 50,000 railway professionals, and this is the real heartache.
"Dangdang!" Chris clenched his fist and tapped on the heavy solid wood conference table, making the entire conference room quiet immediately.
He stood up, put his fists down on the table, leaned forward slightly, glanced at everyone, and said, "Now! Go and confirm whether the Holy Demon Empire is really fighting against us! I want a firm order!"
"Order the 1st Army and 2nd Army to prepare for battle immediately! Let Walter wait for my order! If war breaks out! He needs to attack along the railway line immediately! Hit as far as he can! Be sure to salvage the supplies and more Staff!" Chris first gave the order to prepare for the battle.
Then he continued to command: "Once the war begins, let the 2nd Army cover the flanks of the 1st Army! Push southwest!"
Immediately afterwards, he issued a third order: "At the same time as the war began, General Wilkes' 3rd Army attacked from the southern region! Join the 2nd Army to encircle all the border guards of the Holy Demon Empire! Don't let any of them go. Walk!"
Finally, he looked at the air force commander Buttoria, who had not spoken, and ordered: "Send all the strategic air forces that can be found! Bomb the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire!"
"Send a telegram to the 9th Army! Let them save ammunition! Shrink their defenses as much as possible!..." Although he knew that the 9th Army was going to be more fortunate, Chris still felt that he could try to get them to persevere.
If the 1st Army can retake the westward railway within a few dozen days, the 9th Army, which is left alone, can almost be rescued.
And as long as the 1st Army's attack goes smoothly, the 2nd and 3rd Army invade the hinterland of the Holy Devil Empire, and the 9th Army can successfully relieve the difficulty, then when the war will end, Chris will have the final say.
"Gentlemen! Get ready! A great battle! It's about to start!" Chris stared at the subordinates in front of him, and said justly word by word.
