1740 Fuse
Although the successful transfer was successful in the end, too many people were sacrificed.
According to incomplete statistics, in the last few days of the blocking battle into the mountain, about 64,000 soldiers fell outside the mountain.
More than 1,100 various rideable tanks were destroyed, 479 aircraft were shot down, and the loss exceeded one billion federal Sol!
Especially the foreign mercenaries, almost all of them died in battle, and these people had signed a high-guaranteed contract with the Gevra government before participating in the war.
If they die in the war, the Ghafra government needs to pay a pension of at least 13,500 euros to their designated account.
This part alone costs more than 500 million!
Then there are their own soldiers who died in battle. The lives of those soldiers are actually not worth much and can be solved by six thousand Doula.
Of course, this is still a very huge number, when the number becomes larger!
The damage to various ordnances, not including the used ammunition, the cost of this strategic shift is too heavy!
When the news spread back to the island of Gefra, the people of the island were the first to become uncontrollably angry!
Because too many people died, this time the Army Department also lost more than 10,000 people and close to 20,000 people. If the foreign mercenary army had not been at the most dangerous front, the death toll in the Army would have skyrocketed!
The Federal Army also lost some lives, less than 2,000.
The Gefra people had no right to demand that they sacrifice themselves. They assisted the Gefra people in their successful transfer and were the first group to evacuate the battlefield, so the casualties were minimal.
In fact, the real explosive casualties occurred during the final evacuation stage.
When the commander-in-chief gave the order to withdraw to the mountains, the soldiers who were still resisting Pengeo suddenly gave up their positions and retreated quickly.
This immediately allowed the Pengeo people to seize the opportunity and pursue them all the way.
Even if the Gaevra people have a certain amount of air superiority, there is still no way to save the situation of complete collapse and flight on the ground!
In the process of this pursuit, the death toll skyrocketed!
From the beginning of the war to the present, the death toll of the Gaevra Army has exceeded 71,000, and this failure has directly pushed this number to a special number that is about to exceed 100,000!
This does not include those from the foreign mercenaries. If they were included, the number would have exceeded 100,000.
It was the more than 90,000 island army soldiers who died in action that finally triggered the already extremely sensitive and tense society in Gaevra!
Gefra has a small population. They say they have a population of 10 million, but in fact the federal government believes they only have between 8 and 9 million.
Even if they really had a population of 10 million and nearly 100,000 people died, one percent of the total population, the impact on the entire society would be huge!
Coupled with rumors that the war will continue for three to five years, and the plan just proposed by the Prime Minister to revive the Imperial Army, the people began to panic!
They don't want any more deaths, and they don't want their relatives to go to the battlefield and accept the judgment of fate!
The reform of the entire country and the entire society is still in progress. Your Excellency the Prime Minister personally signed the document abolishing the privileges of the nobility, which greatly released the power in the hands of the people.
This also led to the birth of some new things in Gafra, such as bottom-up demonstrations caused by dissatisfaction with policies and leaders!
On the third day after entering the mountain, Gefra ushered in the largest parade in history.
Many families walked on the main streets of various cities holding black-and-white photos of their children. They called for peace and freedom from war!
At the same time, some people also tried to put forward the argument that "the Prime Minister should be responsible for the 100,000 people who died."
The official statistics are less than 100,000 people, but private statistics may also include foreign mercenary groups.
And some of them immigrated by joining the military, and their families should also be included in this statistics.
Looking at it this way, one hundred thousand people have died!
This number greatly shocked the local people of Gefra. This is a terrible disaster that Gefra has never experienced since its birth to this day!
People don't accept this!
When a group of people start to escape reality, they will look for some reasons, such as "all this is because the prime minister has changed our system, and the glory of the imperial family no longer guides us forward" and so on!
There must be some nobles, big nobles, or even the royal family behind these arguments.
They finally found an opportunity to attack the Prime Minister!
The wave of impeachment of the Prime Minister is brewing and taking shape!
The Prime Minister, who was in the middle of the eye of the storm, was not as pessimistic and angry as people had guessed.
He seemed relaxed.
Although tens of thousands of people died, more people moved into the mountainous area. Now they can use the mountainous area as an inconvenient area to contain Pengeo's continued advancement!
At the same time, the island's fleet has also begun to mobilize. The Pengeo people are likely to try to cross the mountainous area directly by sea and land, so it is important to block the sea.
The fleet's work is not complicated, and they don't need to do anything too difficult, as long as they can prevent the Penteo people from crossing the sea easily.
Land-based air forces will help them coordinate their defense, and their own sea fortress will be launched at the end of the month...
It's actually all good news, although the last slash hurt a bit, and the strategy went from trying to defend on the counter to going all-out defensive a bit.
But at least there won't be a lot of casualties in the future!
As far as the current situation is concerned, the Prime Minister is still very satisfied. The next main task is to cheer for the Federation!
Yes, cheerleaders!
If the Federation can win, Gefra, as one of the members of the World Development Council, will naturally be able to sit at the negotiating table and make demands.
Not only can they get back all Amelia, but they may even go one step further——
The Prime Minister has anticipated that the federation might intervene in this matter, ostensibly giving Gefra a better place, but actually throwing him to a strategic location.
When the time comes, Gaevra will become a nail in the eye of the Pengeo military group, and there will be many follow-up things!
But, this is better than failure.
As for the current criticism of himself from outside, the Prime Minister actually doesn't care too much.
As long as most of the great nobles are on their side, no matter how many people make trouble, it will have no effect.
The reform of Gaevra's national governance system does not mean that it will take effect immediately after he signed a series of documents!
This will take some time, first of all, the vested interests must enjoy their bonus period, and then, bit by bit, real changes can be made!
Until then, the status of the nobles remains unshakable!
In the following period, several fierce battles broke out on the Amelia battlefield. The Pengeo military group tried to use their numerical advantage to enter the mountainous area to clear out the remaining troops of Gaevra.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is not so beautiful!
It is difficult to travel in mountainous areas, and it is difficult to bring artillery in, which also leads to a one-sided situation on the battlefield.
Pure infantrymen who attack a side with fortifications and heavy weapons are simply going to die!
In some areas, three or five machine guns can guard the entire mountain road!
This also made the Pengeo people realize that if they want to completely kick out the Gefra people, they must first gain air supremacy!
Only with air superiority can they regain control of the war zone!
In mid-December, the launching ceremony of the sea fortress, originally scheduled from the end of November to early December, was slightly delayed due to some minor problems.
As President of the Federation, Mr. Trueman was invited by the Navy to attend the launching ceremony.
In addition to him, there are many celebrities and the like. This is the Federation's first sea fortress, and it is also the one on which the Federation Navy has high hopes!
Well, the tone and emotion above are the content of the draft.
In fact, the Navy is not particularly looking forward to it, because the island chain plan is so perfect that aircraft taking off from the island chain can enter the battlefield in as little as one or two hours, or as little as ten minutes.
This has greatly reduced the federal fleet's need for sea-based air forces, but everyone has it, and the federation must have it too, so we have the first one!
The port was very cold, but everyone's mood was high. The President took the bottle and tied it to the rope hanging from the side of the ship, and together with the admiral, threw it towards the hull.
The moment it hit the hull, the bottle shattered and people cheered.
Strange ritual!
Next, Mr. Trueman and a group of celebrities boarded this special battleship and watched the ejection and landing of an aircraft with his own eyes.
Mr. Trueman publicly stated that the addition of sea fortresses to the naval service sequence is the first step for the Federation to strengthen its navy, and it is also a crucial first step!
In the future, all aspects of the federal society will invest more energy to continue to make breakthroughs in the development of military science, and use the superior technological advantages to establish the federal victory in this war...
Just as the president was dealing with the celebrities, his deputy suddenly appeared next to him.
It also drove away those who surrounded Mr. Trueman.
"Mr. President, Sardoras has sent troops."
Mr. Trueman was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear it clearly or heard a huge joke. "The wind is too loud. Maybe you can repeat it?"
The deputy's expression was still serious, "Sedoras has sent troops. He invaded their neighbor. Now Ambassador Sedoras is waiting for you at the Presidential Palace."
The president immediately realized the seriousness. He immediately ended the ceremony with the admiral and drove back to the presidential palace.
Cydoras is a small, neutral country that had a good relationship with the Federation before because the two sides worked together to keep warm during the First World War.
But just now, the Prime Minister of Cydorus announced an invasion war against their neighbors, sending... 50,000 troops, 100 aircraft, and a total of 350 tanks of various types.
This sounds like a joke, but not only is it not a joke, it is also very unusual!
