Five Hundred and Three Lambs to Be Slaughtered
Alan Hill, in a closed conference room in the Imperial General Staff Building in Serris City, a group of men dressed in various styles are discussing the latest combat arrangements for the puppet empire.
Because the battle against the puppet empire has become more and more complicated, many economic and people's livelihood issues have been integrated into it. Therefore, this combat meeting also convened departments such as business, economy and people's livelihood to discuss the combat operations related to the capture of Bulkeland.
Burkeland is the capital of the puppet empire and the largest magical city in the country. It is a giant centipede city, which can accommodate more than 500,000 people at its peak. It is definitely a huge mobile fortress.
Like the Floating Void City, it is also equipped with many magic weapons, has a city-level magic defense barrier, and at its peak, there are magic legions stationed there, which can be described as an impregnable huge fortress.
It's just that now, the troops in it have been withdrawn, and the rest are just some defensive troops pretending to be superficial, and their combat effectiveness has almost been exhausted.
However, for Alan Hill, how to occupy this once most glorious and ruined large city in the human magic empire is something worth thinking twice before doing.
It is actually not difficult to destroy this city, as long as nuclear weapons are launched. But things are not that simple, and destroying Burkeland is not the best choice.
"With the odds of victory at hand, the use of nuclear weapons to attack Burkeland is not only a loss for human beings, but also a loss for us Alan Hill." The leading official of the people's livelihood department tapped on the document in front of him with a pen. Twice, he opened his mouth and continued to speak.
What he cares about is the post-war reconstruction issue, as well as the population issue, and various social issues that follow-if it is just occupation and these issues are not resolved, then Burkeland will fall into chaos, and it will take more than ten years. may not return to pre-war levels.
These words aroused the approval of many people, and many officials in suits nodded. They also felt that Bellevue's problem was handled hastily at the time, and now they have encountered a problem similar to Bellevue's. It is necessary and necessary to think carefully.
"Yeah! After all, in this case, countries have already tacitly agreed that Burkeland is the spoils of our Alan Hill. Using nuclear weapons to destroy our own cities in the future is a very uneconomical thing." Another participant The officials at the meeting followed suit.
Such words have naturally been said countless times. What supports the rolling wheels of Alan Hill is that capital is the economy. Occupying an unscathed metropolis is naturally more cost-effective than occupying a piece of ruins.
Therefore, looking at the problem from the perspective of economic construction, maintaining the integrity of Burkeland is definitely a very important and meaningful thing.
An economic official then opened his mouth and gave another excuse to the civilians in Burkeland: "Indeed, there are at least 500,000 residents in Burkeland, and these residents are valuable assets. They are not magic collaborating with the enemy." Master, they should not be brutally destroyed."
This kind of excuse is more or less abundant when it is used, and it is insignificant when it is not used. Anyway, those civilians in Burkeland City have good reasons for saying that they are innocent or that they deserve what they deserve.
In short, it’s just an excuse—if His Majesty the Emperor is more inclined to destroy Burkeland, then everyone in Burkeland is a criminal who fornicates the devil; and if Chris is willing to let these people live, then They are the innocents trapped by Travish.
Anyway, life and death are just a thought,
It really had less to do with what they had done before than what Elland Hill wanted after the war.
"Also, a mobile and well-preserved magical city also has a lot of reference value and practical significance for us in Ireland." A technical scholar also talked about the importance of Burkeland .
His words attracted the attention of some departments and military generals. A few people bowed their heads and recorded something, but most of them were still discussing whether they should give Burkeland a way out.
"You're right. At least we haven't really controlled an internationally recognized important magic city yet. Obviously Bulkeland is an important symbol and bridge for us to connect with the magic world." The official of the foreign ministry watched the scene quieter, and then said expressed his own point of view.
After all, this is a discussion meeting, in order to allow the General Staff and other generals to acquire some knowledge outside the battlefield, and to come up with a Burkeland attack plan after comprehensive consideration.
Therefore, not only the people's livelihood and economic departments, but also the foreign affairs department and the technical department also sent their representatives to participate in this meeting.
"We can't destroy every capital of the magic empire occupied by Ellandhill, right? Then there will be magic empires willing to believe in our slogan that we don't hate magicians?" A potbellied old man leaned on a chair and spoke in a hoarse voice. said the voice.
His words are also what many people want to say. If the capital of every magic empire is destroyed, it is estimated that the remaining magic empires will not believe too much in Alan Hill's attitude towards magicians.
In the past two years, Elan Hill's efforts to modify slogans such as "mortals will never be slaves" and change them to "magic and technology are human tools" are almost in vain.
This is not allowed, so we must be more cautious in dealing with Burkeland.
"That's right, if we destroy Bellevue and Burkeland next, then our reputation in the world of magicians will be lowered." The representative of the foreign affairs department said immediately.
"So we are more willing to take the method of occupying Burkeland as intact as possible, and building that city into the greatest magic city that we in Ireland have." The meeting was chaired by Minister of Defense Kastner , He looked at Luo Kai, the chief of staff beside him, and said with a sense of conclusion.
"This is a good way, like a business card, proving that we are a business card for tolerant magicians!" The representative of the foreign affairs department also looked at Luo Kai, waiting for him to express his opinion.
"But if this decision is made, then the troops on the front line can only fight the enemy on the periphery of Burkeland." Luo Kai thought for a few seconds and decided to raise his objection.
He pushed the documents he had prepared to Kastner: "And Bulkeland will become the other party's hostage. At that time, our soldiers will throw their hands at the mouse and fall into a bitter battle. At that time, how will we explain to those soldiers?"
"Isn't our army used to complete tasks and fight for the interests of the empire? Sacrifice is inevitable. As long as the benefits in exchange are large enough, we should also bear the high losses!" The officials of the economic department hurriedly said, He was also afraid of Castner, who was also a military representative, and fell to Luo Kai's side.
"Is this what an imperial official should say? You bastards in the business department, did you lose your mind while sleeping?" Luo Kai looked at the man who spoke with displeasure, his tone full of displeasure .
"Out of this door, I will not admit any radical remarks I said. I am seeking the highest interests of the empire, and I do not mix personal preferences and emotions." The man also knew that his tone seemed to be beaten Some, quickly opened the mouth to explain.
"Your cold blood makes us feel cold! You are simply a group of unemotional shells! Are interests more important to you than the lives of those loyal warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the empire?" Luo Kai seemed to be attracted by the other party. Excited, I will not let you go.
"Okay! Stop arguing! Everyone is trying to serve the empire. It's just a waste of time to criticize each other." Des, who participated in this meeting but was not the host of the meeting, used his identity to suppress the quarrel .
In the territory of Alan Hill, even the most arrogant people will give Des some face. After all, the second richest man in the empire is also one of the most trusted people around the emperor.
Sure enough, after hearing what Des said, the generals on the military side all concealed their dissatisfaction. One of the generals came out to smooth things over and said, "No matter from which direction you look at it, keeping Bulkeland is beneficial and helpful to us. I believe the military also recognizes this."
"There is no doubt about this, but let me put my ugly words first. If I want to pay more than 50,000 soldiers for this city, I would rather destroy it with nuclear weapons!" Luo Kai did not dwell on the issue just now, and continued. My own opinion.
"Yes, there must be a limit to everything! We cannot allow too many soldiers to be lost in Burkeland, which will also damage our reputation!" Des made a final decision and looked at Castner.
Kastner understood and agreed to Luo Kai's request: "So, our bottom line is, if we can easily take Burkeland, then we will do so, and if our attack is blocked, then we will change another Way."
"The Sky Fleet is ready! The shells are all replenished! General Wagron is personally commanding the fleet. If necessary, the Sky Fleet can bombard Burkeland and completely destroy this mobile city." A general in charge of liaison report.
"Then it's settled! First order the troops to attack Burkeland's outer perimeter first. If the enemy resists very resolutely and our losses are huge...then we will trigger the Sky Fleet to destroy Burkeland's outer defensive positions!" Kastner cleared his throat and summed up the meeting.
As the chief of staff, Luo Kai stood up, nodded slightly and said: "I have no objection! Send the minutes of the meeting to His Majesty as soon as possible! I'll go back and make a battle plan. If it's the fastest, the frontline troops will be able to act tomorrow." !"
