Chapter 105 Make the Water Muddy so You Can Fish

The continent of Odin has four major military regions. Similarly, the entire continent can also be divided into four regions, namely the east, central, southwest, and northwest regions.

Southwest region: There is the largest mountain range in the Odin continent, the Kurensk Mountains, and it is also the most important mineral resource base of Crotan. Cobalt and other mineral resources are produced here. When the base was just built, the transport planes transporting minerals such as No. 0 source element, iridium, cobalt, manganese, rare earth, etc., could almost cover the sky in the southwest region.

Today, this mineral resource base is in decline, and it will no longer be the same as it used to be. However, such as rare earth, diamond, oil, zinc, iron, manganese and other general metals and non-metallic minerals, there is still a lot of output.

Northwest region: Crotan Star metal smelting and heavy military industry area, relying on the mineral resource base in the southwest region, there are a large number of heavy military factories, as well as various weapons and machinery laboratories. Such as frigate-level naval guns, land armored vehicles, power armor, space fighters, armed shuttle components, etc., are produced.

In its heyday, the magnificent No. 0 Yuansu Refinery Factory was built here, but it was only with the exhaustion of rare resources. Most of the cutting-edge equipment has been dismantled and transported away, and only some foundation buildings remain, still telling the glory of Crotan's past.

Central area: As the hub of the entire Odin continent, it is bordered by mineral resources and military industrial areas in the west, and the alluvial plain of the Sunaru River in the east. Its military and economic significance is self-evident. This is the most prosperous area in the entire Crotan, the capital Rhineston is located in the birthplace of the Sunaru River - Miluo Plateau. Countless dignitaries and government officials gathered here to enjoy the comfortable life that Marquis Kane Rudolph brought them.

It can be said that Rhineston is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor. Those who can live here have either money or power.

Of course, poor people also have the opportunity to live here, provided you are beautiful enough, or handsome enough. Strong and robust is also a selling point. Well, before that, you also have to forget about yourself and get rid of that damn ego.

Eastern region: It consists of the alluvial plains on the north and south banks of the Sunaru River, the Rut Bay, the Gonte Mountains in the northwest, the Diromos Plateau, and the Suha Hills in the southeast. It is an important planting industry base in Crotan. The grains, vegetables and oil crops produced by it are not only supplied to the local area, but also exported to other parts of the empire. It is an important source of income for the Rudolf family.

Crotan is transitioning from a declining resource star to an agricultural star. There is no doubt that this transformation has been very successful. It can be seen from this that Kane Rudolph is a very economical guy.

There are four major defense military areas in the four regions. The Sunaru Military District, where the First Army Corps in the East is stationed, the Miluo Military District, where the Second Army Corps is stationed in the center, the Kurensk Military District, where the Third Army Corps is stationed in the Southwest, and the Termon Military District, where the Fourth Army Corps is stationed in the Northwest.

After the Garcia rebels occupied the Drosnir military port, they did not rush to confront the military head-on and fight a decisive battle, but infiltrated the revolutionary elements to the western part of the Odin continent. Vigorously promote guerrilla tactics in the east. On the one hand, we recruit comrades to form alliances.

Since the vast majority of military satellites have been taken down by electromagnetic pulse missiles, the existing satellite network is not enough to provide a global-level monitoring scale, so that in the guerrilla mode like a gopher digging a hole, the military forces are like a country native who only understands Headache doctor head, foot pain doctor foot, being led by the nose by the insurgent army to run around,

Exhausted.

With the military strength of the First Corps, the troops of the three divisions were drawn to surround the Drosnir military port, and the remaining troops were simply not enough to form a strong deterrent to the raging war situation in the eastern region.

Most of the dignitaries are cowards, and Aldridge is no exception. He dare not send the Second Army guarding the capital to the eastern region to suppress the rebellion.

As for the third and fourth legions, there are also many inconveniences.

The garrison of the Third Corps is a mineral resource base. Once a large number of troops are drawn away, in case those full-time infiltrating and destroying guys behind the enemy take advantage of the situation to make small moves, the third area will be a mess. You must know that the lower space of the entire Kurensk Mountains is almost completely hollowed out, and the pit extends to the West Sea from the depths. .

Deploy the Fourth Army to suppress the rebellion? Unless their brains are broken, the rebel army is backward in equipment, and relies on looting military materials to equip itself. Once the Fourth Army is gone, aren’t those military industrial enterprises and mechanical research institutes like SE,XY goddesses with open arms, those hillbillies , Is there any reason for the old hats not to swarm?

The Second Army did not dare to move, and the Third and Fourth Army could not move. The entire Crotan Star War situation can be said to have fallen into a very delicate situation. The five divisions of the First Corps became firefighters and were forced to put out fires everywhere. However, the scale of the uprising was like a snowball, and it was getting bigger and bigger. Derich's throat.

...

The above is the information about Crotan's occupation that Tang Fang learned from Grant's mouth. The amount of data was huge, and after digesting it for a long time, he came back to his senses and asked: "Why doesn't Aldridge tell Xingxing? The Hong Kong Garrison is asking for help."

It turns out that Marquis Kane Rudolph is not only very economical, but also has a good political and military skills. He is responsible for managing the Aldrich of Crotan and the fleet stationed in the star port, which is responsible for the defense of the Aslam star system. Brigadier General Ramsden Adams, the commander, was a little off.

During the hostilities between the Sulu Empire and the Mengya Empire, a star port in Nuoda was almost entirely occupied by the military forces. Later, the two countries stopped making peace. In order to show sufficient sincerity, both sides cut the border troops by more than half. Marquis Kane transferred the main fleet, leaving only a small number of battleships stationed here.

Ramsden Adams, as the Fleet Commander, also controls the power of Star Harbor. Due to the dwindling resources of Crotan, the resource planet is transforming into an agricultural planet under the intervention of the Marquis of Kane. Because these agricultural products are sold as commodities to the empire, and other nobles, and even exported to countries such as the Sulu Empire, the United Kingdom of Turanx, and the Republic of Date. Transportation, of course, is an unavoidable problem.

Cargo ships from different regions of the empire are gathered here, and a berth is necessary. Ramsden Adams saw this golden opportunity to make money, and rented out most of the idle berths to family members at extremely low prices, and then used commercial The charging standard of the port and the parking fee, the Adams family has gained a fortune since then.

This incident was watched by Aldridge and held a grudge in his heart. As a result, he did not deal with Ramsden in the first place. Second, he has always been in charge of the economy. Ramsden is a soldier, but he has extended his hand to economic affairs, which is tolerable or unbearable. Thirdly, as a living planet, why does Crotan need so many garrisoned troops? And the three armies of land, sea and air, the Planetary Defense Force? Who is guarding against? Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that he is not stupid and naturally knows what to do next.

Aldridge filed a complaint against the Marquis of Kane for Ramsden's filthy deeds. He bluntly stated that he used his power to seek personal gain for the family.

Marquis Kane was furious and sent a stern warning letter to Ramsden, and ordered him to give up half of the right to use the star port to Aldridge for the convenience of management.

So far, one of the fortunes of the Adams family has been buried in the hands of Aldridge. Although Ramsden didn't say it, he always hated it in his heart.

Up to now, how could he not know that such a big thing happened to Crotan, but on the one hand, Aldridge did not bow his head raised like a white swan and came to him for help. On the other hand, he actually really wants to make this unsightly guy suffer a big loss and lose face once, and it is best that the entire Crotan star falls. In that case, Aldridge's title of governor, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep it. .

In fact, he wasn't worried at all about the situation on Crotan, the Garcia Rebellion? In his eyes, they were just a bunch of clowns jumping around. Facing the space fleet and the large-scale ion cannons of Star Harbor, what would happen even if Marion occupied the missile base on the Thor continent, and the high-energy ion beam would shoot down the base and lead the base together.

He was waiting, waiting for the right moment, waiting for Aldridge to run up to him with snot and tears and beg for mercy. Either the planet falls, or this guy becomes a short-lived ghost and dies at the hands of the rebels. Then, he led the fleet to counter the rebellion and gained some fame.

You must know that his responsibility is to be responsible for the safety of the Aslam star system universe. As for the size of the Crotan star, it is Aldridge's territory. If something goes wrong, everything has nothing to do with him.

On the other hand, Aldridge does not think it is necessary to let the fleet of Star Harbor intervene in the inland war on Crotan. , in order to keep the top wearing flower ling on the head.

After listening to Aldridge and Rams' enthronement full of grievances and hatreds, Tang Fang couldn't help but once again expressed the doubts in his heart with a curious expression. If the insurgent army led by Marion can really pass through the country like a typhoon and sweep the entire Crotan Star, how will it face the space-based weapons of Star Harbor and the space fleet led by Ramsden?

Grant didn't answer this time, just looked into his face with a meaningful smile.

Thinking about it carefully, Marion is an old fox who has lived for nearly 70 years and has been dealing with the imperial army all day long. What he can think of, how can the other party not.

Grant's smile may have two meanings: one, he doesn't know, this is something Marion needs to consider. Second, he knew, but it was inconvenient to say.

"Huh." A turbulence came, Tang Fang turned his head and swept the topographic map on the holographic projector, unfastened his seat belt, got up and said, "You guys go first, I still have something to deal with."

Grant frowned slightly, and soon stretched it out again, signaled the driver in front of him to stop, and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's go first."

Tang Fang read the trust in his eyes, nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will rush over as soon as possible." After that, he opened the hatch and walked out of the armored vehicle. Aros pulled the truck to a stop, jumped off with Howson, and waved off Grant and the others.

Watching Grant and others disappear at the end of the line of sight, Tang Fang took most of the machine gunners and marauders back into the system space, and led Hausen and Aros towards the Blue Lake not far away.

Before, he was still wondering why there was such a big thing that the aircraft crashed in the territory, why the military did not move for a long time, and after listening to Grant's narration, he finally figured out the twists and turns. It turned out that it was not the military's slow response, but that they simply couldn't make it.

At first, Aros and Hausen came ashore to rescue him, and abandoned "Ma Runjia" and "Marauder" at the bottom of the lake. He didn't want the empire to get these power armors. If something came out, it would be used on him, and who would cry.

"Go get those two sets of armor." Instructed the two machine gunners to go down to the lake to recover the power armor.

Tang Fang took Aros and Hausen to a slightly higher slope and released the Euglena. Most of the military satellites of the Crotan government have been destroyed, and the surveillance of the land has been greatly reduced. There is no doubt that this greatly facilitates his actions.

The huge eye worm slowly climbed up, the photosensitive organ and the microwave unit operated at the same time, and the battle information was fed back to Tang Fang's mind.

About 300 kilometers northeast of Blue Lake, there is a fierce confrontation in the area around an arsenal that covers an area of ​​hundreds of hectares.

From the analysis of the situation, one side is the attacking force coming from the direction of Mond City, while the other side is relying on the buildings around the arsenal to conduct defensive counterattacks.

The former has the dominant force, while the latter has few troops. According to common sense, even if the latter is backed by defensive buildings, it will be difficult to resist the charge of the former armored group. What's more, the point of exchange of fire is not one, but around the entire arsenal. The front is in a regular ring shape, which is long and dense.

However, there is a "but". I do not know when a battleship formation consisting of three guided missile destroyers and twelve frigates appeared on the waters of Rut Bay. The rail projectiles poured onto the frontline battlefield, and the attacking side was defeated steadily.

However, what made Tang Fang even more puzzled was that in the face of the strong fire support from the defending side, those attacking troops were not discouraged and launched wave after wave of unremitting charges.

In addition, in the west of Mond City, more than 200 kilometers away from the arsenal, an armored division of about 10,000 people is marching eastward.

This sudden appearance of an armored division rushed to reinforce the attacking side? Or the flanking attacker? What the hell is going on with this damn mess?

Euglena can only perceive and summarize the information of the battle situation, but cannot make a more detailed analysis. Tang Fang thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"It really made Grant guess, something happened at the arsenal."

"Huh?" Aros frowned and asked, "How is the situation?"

Tang Fang sighed and informed the two of the information that the eye worm fed back to his mind.

After listening, Aros raised his head to look at the Euglena in the air, and then at the two machine gunners dragging power armor out of the water: "What are you going to do? Go for a leg, or do you mean Zhe protects himself and finds another way?"

"Marion has made small moves on Crotan Star for so many years, and there must be a lot of backhands. It should be very simple to send a few people out, not to mention that we are Grant's saviour, and it is reasonable, this request is not too much. After all, Tang Fang waved two sets of wet power armor into the system space, walked towards the truck, and said without looking back: "Instead of ramming around like a headless fly, it's better to stick a leg. , to make the water more muddy, only in this way can we fish in troubled waters."

Now that he had a decision in his heart, Aros and Howson naturally wouldn't say much. The three got on the truck, chose a direction, and went all the way north.
