Chapter 738 17.14 Master of Time Management

On December 12, in the crystal palace in the Windy Capital, the young king felt very strange when he saw that the Anglo envoy who came to visit him did not have the previous "gentleman" (arrogant) demeanor, but was a very polite butler servant.

The young king grew up in the palace education, saw the upper-class politicians intrigue and deception, and knew that the Anglo side now needed him.

In the hall, after sending off the Anglo envoy, the king left the powerful ministers to discuss.

At this time, the powerful minister of the Western Industrial and Commercial Interest Group of Oshima also responded politely to the king's inquiry about the current situation: "Everything is under control now, and we will end this war within half a year."

Of course, the powerful minister himself understood that the war could be ended within half a year, but Oshima would have a high fever during this half year, and Anglo would also lose a piece of meat.

The decline of the country's power was not due to a treacherous minister or a foolish ruler, but the greed of a group of classes.

The rulers are stupid, but they don't have the intelligence to play the game of greed of that class, or they don't have the courage to suppress the greed of that class.

...In the gorgeous office, the bureaucrats will "drag" all kinds of troubles. ...

All kinds of materials in the Kingdom of Oshima have collapsed. All the old officials know that whoever takes the job at this time will take the blame.

The big merchants in the Wind Whispering City are very happy to have such an opportunity when the economy is weak, which reminds them of the good days two years ago when orders kept coming.

As we all know, during the economic boom, everyone's assets are increasing. If the assets of the common people increase by 10%, then the assets of the upper-class crocodiles will increase by several times or dozens of times. When the economy is on the rise and there is a better place for funds, it is naturally invested in expanding reproduction.

But once factory orders stagnate, these economies, which are tens or hundreds of times more than the total amount of funds in the hands of the common people, will be involved and affect all aspects of materials without any administrative power valve control.

The entire Kingdom of Oshima has important materials such as food, fuel, cloth, and coal mines. But all the acquisition channels are crowded with people who want to "make a fortune".

However, when the empire was acquiring, the political forces behind these big businessmen did not seem to cooperate and wanted to wait a little longer.

In short, the intelligence these businessmen had was more accurate than the intelligence department of the kingdom army.

They judged from the internal situation of Iron Star that the Iron Star Corps (led by Bess) near the capital had no intention of attacking the capital of Oshima, but aimed to contain the main force of Oshima so that they (Iron Star) could concentrate on strategic hedging with the Anglo overseas forces.

... The businessmen wanted to make money at this time and immigrate to Anglo, but they didn't care whether it was "national disaster money"...

The economy determines politics. And then determines the mobilization of war.

Oshima now has a heavy army of 40 units on the Wind Plain, which can be deployed to the front line at any time, but it is sitting still for various reasons.

The generals of the Kingdom of Oshima may be waiting for the best opportunity to fight a strategic decisive battle.

Of course, whether it is the heavy troops of Fengyu in the capital of Oshima or the static defense group on the southern line, they are all waiting for their own strategic opportunities. (Each has his own thoughts, and they belong to the warlords)

Some of their strategic opportunities are limited by the difficulty of material supply, and some are limited by the fact that the business groups behind them have not yet taken enough share in this war.

Time dragged on for a full 50 days. On January 20, for Tiexing, this strategic opportunity was finally enough.

1: Enma's "super teleportation" has cooled down, and Wei Keng in the Ether Realm can open the coordinate teleportation portal at any time.

2: The defense line of Kaidi City has been prepared. 20,000 troops are stationed here, and strategic supply troops are supplemented from the rear line.

3: On the defense position of Ronggang Tower City, Lina, Kaidang, and Cruz have also completed the detour from several directions to the second wave of Anglo-American intervention forces, and when the new round of war comes, their most important coal, lubricating oil and other winter supply materials are cut off.

If the Thunder and Flash Alliance is pulling each other's legs and completing the integration on the surface, the degree of strategic execution here on Iron Star is upgraded.

After Enma had spare strength, he began to attack Anglo.

On January 21, Iron Star launched a strong attack on Yuzui Port.

At the same time, Anglo's offshore fleet was still conducting a minesweeping war.

According to the prediction of the Anglo Navy, if the Anglo National Army can stop Iron Star from continuing to lay mines, the Navy can open up the supply line in just ten days.

But now the army is very slow in Oshima and cannot stop Iron Star from entering the coastline to lay mines at night, which makes the Anglo Royal Navy very embarrassed.

Narrator: Iron Star is all aircraft and airships. At night, they carry out mine laying operations based on the guidance of the campfires on the ground and the luminous blue algae on the sea.

The Anglo naval officers calculated this account in their minds, but did not calculate the account of the entire war situation. The navy masters disdained to make a schedule based on the needs of the army.

So when the attack on Yuzui Port was launched, the Anglo navy masters decided to speed up the operation.

But the Anglo navy masters stubbornly believed that Yuzui Port should withstand the attack for 10 days.

Little did they know that after these fifty days, Yuzui Port had been almost burned down due to the fire caused by the previous surprise attack. Oshima and the Anglo defenders had become mentally numb under the threat of continuous siege without attack and frequent bombardment.

As Iron Star fired light and heavy artillery at the same time at night, the land assault troops, carrying explosive ammunition, rode light armored vehicles and quickly attacked.

After a day of fighting on the 21st and the early morning of the 22nd, at twelve o'clock in the morning, Yuzui Port was captured, and the two land battleships (Knight class) stationed in the port. Four land cruisers, two land frigates. And the fifteen warships parked in the port were all annihilated.

…Enma's name began to shock the entire Wanlun continent. …

Of course, the Anglos did not let Iron Star seize these equipment, because there is a recognized rule on the continent that if a battle is lost, it is okay to be captured. But if the ship is seized, it is unforgivable.

In addition to the nuclear fuel being extracted and put aside, the internal bearings and gears of these land fleets were all destroyed, and the concepts in the etheric world were also shattered. It is impossible to repair.

Among the scrap metal, Enma looked at the materials that were destroyed by the Anglos, and decided to help Yuzui Port. All industrial facilities were packed and taken away, and the cranes on the dock were also blown up and turned into scrap metal, completely cutting off the possibility of the Anglos taking back the port and using it as a springboard to interfere with Iron Star.

Before leaving, Enma even pulled out the rails.

…With the victory of Iron Star in Yuzui Port, the strategic situation on the entire continent turned around...

The plan of the Oshima King's capital to slowly drag down the Iron Star Corps by accumulating materials suddenly collapsed.

These nobles were also shocked that Yuzui Port was broken so quickly, so they decided to send troops. When the Wind Language King's Capital Army realized it at this time, it stopped the "confrontation" with the Beth formation and turned to the north to recapture Yuzui Port under the pressure of international allies.

Of course, little did they know that at this time, Tiexing had already achieved its strategic goal and directly withdrew its troops.

Enma also carried out strategic teleportation in the scorched Yuzui Port, which was a ruin, and flew to the northern part of Tiexing 250 kilometers away.

And Bess's troops moved to the south of Oshima and began the "Tiexing-style" strategy of surrounding cities with rural areas.

…What should be ended should be ended quickly, and what should not be ended should be planned for the long term. …

Enma wrote a poem in the Governor's Mansion of Yuzui Port and gave it to General Oshima who arrived slowly.

Twenty-one days later, Oshima's sixth-level general Nuss saw Enma's original work on the white wall of the Governor's Mansion, "I came and left in a hurry, I hate that we can't meet, I love and hate in a hurry, everything goes with the wind."

Nuss's good mood of regaining lost territory was immediately destroyed.

His deputy, General Liu Yina (hero level 3), now stood on the top floor of the Governor's Mansion, looking at the broken industrial furnaces around her, and murmured: "I will meet him again in the future." She wanted to set her ambition, but suddenly shuddered for no reason.

…The Iron Star military led by Enma is "outside first, inside later", just like a chef who plucks the feathers of a duck before disemboweling it...

On January 21, in the second wave of Anglo intervention forces in the north of the Sky Federation, General Toss did not know that the Fish Mouth Port had been breached.

Therefore, the sudden return of the main force of the Iron Star Corps was completely out of the perspective of this group of Anglo intervention forces.

There are no more than 20 heroes above level 6 in the entire Wanlun. Enma's level has soared all the way to point out the "big teleportation" skill. Now a large number of military observers have not updated their cognition.

And the various forces on the Wanlun Continent are still busy discussing the casualties of the second battle between Iron Star and Oshima. I thought Iron Star was going to continue its operations in Oshima out of habit. I never expected that this powerful army that broke the century-old iron wall would come back after a feint at the capital of the Wind Whispering Plains.

…Enma jumped back and forth, seemingly scattered, but it always maintained its own industrial and agricultural production areas, and its strategy was not limited to national borders…

On the 23rd, in the north of Iron Star, the Anglo Intervention Army encountered the main force of Iron Star. A full 32 land heavy tracked cruiser units appeared behind the Anglo Intervention Army.

At this time, returning to the inner line of battle, the situation of Iron Star facing the Anglo Intervention Army was very different. Now the Anglo Intervention Army has become an isolated army.

General Toss's head hurts. After the first wave of encounters in the afternoon, the two sides engaged in mutual artillery battles. After an hour of mutual artillery fire, the two sides separated from each other.

Iron Star's heavy armored group was not prepared to "fight the first battle and the decisive battle" against the Anglo Intervention Army.

Instead, after calculating the available strategic practices, the old method was adopted, that is, "take them out for a walk" and then "divide them into several groups" to fight.

Enma taught his subordinates by example: When I was dealing with a dozen thugs alone, I ran first, pulled them into several groups, and then went back to deal with them one by one.

When Enma was in Oshima, the peasant soldiers on the northern line of Tiexing continued to harass the army, cut off the logistics line, and continuously compressed the space for the invasion army to move.

But this strategy was limited by strength and could not squeeze out the living space of the Anglo intervention army. (Narrator: Just like a child's strength cannot wring a towel clean.)

Now, Enma's main force is back, and the wringing power has increased sharply. Tos's Anglo Group has suddenly changed from a "quagmire" state to a "concrete" state.

Originally, Anglo lacked coal for heat engines and lubricating oil, but it could still reach the river to get water.

Enma is back now with a heavy army group, which means that they can't even change the water in the steam boiler, and our own troops have just returned. The city of Molten Steel Tower is still in our own hands, and has not been reduced to ruins, maintaining productivity. . Armor module repairs and parts replacement and supplies can be carried out at any time.

In the next few days, the Iron Star Heavy Equipment Group will be consumed through frequent small-scale fire collisions. This kind of consumption can be replenished by the Iron Star Group at any time. The armored unit's shell damage was repaired after returning to the garrison.

For the Anglo interventionist forces, every "small consumption" was fatal to them.

Enma used a very crude but vivid metaphor to explain to the Iron Star military commanders: arguing and entangled with a person who is holding back his urine in a public place is more demanding than fighting with fists. There are advantages.

When Enma said this, everyone was having breakfast, and Anjiexin spit out the hand cake she was eating.

…The “hooligans” from the Sky Country began to beat up the Anglo “gentlemen”…

On February 25, during the fifteenth firefight, General Toss watched the Iron Star troops evacuate again, especially the three "Energy Destroyer" tanks that had been beaten and almost stayed behind. At that time, it disappeared directly into the Anglo-Sighting System.

To be precise, it was the last twenty minutes. The tanks that stayed in place were already like mirages, and the real energy destroyers had been optically hidden and moved to the back of the queue.

This is the third skill among Enma's four skills, "Phantom Hidden", which can cover three tanks at a time, which can cover troops for raids. For example, when Ludis robbed the princess, the flying army raiders approached the princess airship with the assistance of Wei Keng Guangyin.

Of course, the current role is to help the Iron Star battle-damaged Land Cruisers retreat.

..."War in spring and defense in autumn", "exchange injuries for lives" and exchange one's own surplus for the opponent's embarrassment of strength. This is the correct strategy...

In the end, the battle ended with the large-scale projection of smoke bombs.

When the smoke dissipated, Toss looked at the calf-deep track ruts on the plain in the distance, extending into the distance like parallel lines. The general's expression was as if made of iron. He had lost another man in this battle. A Land Cruiser.

In this small-scale war, the Iron Star Corps' land cruisers were injured, while the Anglo Intervention Force actually lost tanks.

Toss and his subordinates knew the current situation very well: "In two days, fifteen battles destroyed six of our units. The remaining land battleships were all injured, and the accompanying auxiliary combatants were reduced by 70%. There was a lack of Fuel, food, they are trying to drag us to death."

Toss called the communications department. The department in charge of telegraphs also knew what the general was asking, so he said in a difficult tone: 'My lord, the navy ministers let us hold on for another week.'

In the not-so-small chariot headquarters, there was a deathly silence. Toss laughed, mocking the empire, and also mocking himself: "Drag, drag, drag, several times the army, being mobilized everywhere, and still cursing others as mudbloods. It's really stupid."

…In contrast to the politicians in the palaces of the Anglo rear, the generals at the front knew they were facing the end…

General Toth's war skill, "Superheated Fire" (a green light is radiated to the opposite side, and the temperature of the mechanical body hit on the opposite side increases by 30%. This will cause the fatigue of all machines to increase.)

The second skill is "Electromagnetic Repulsion Armor", which has a probability of reducing the hit rate of enemies within a range of 600 meters by 30%. This disturbed electromagnetic repulsion force allows Wei Keng to continuously correct and determine that only a large-scale fire attack will be carried out. Only then can he really be hit hard.

Of course, as a level 6 hero unit, Toss still has a big move.

The original 280mm large-caliber main gun on the car body will shrink, and the 70mm secondary guns on both sides will pop up and start emitting heat ray warheads that are far more ferocious than the main gun shells. , its penetrating power can penetrate one meter of thick homogeneous metal armor in twenty seconds. And it can last for six hours.

Toss used this skill twice during this intervention.

On the 15th, it caused the greatest crisis in the history of Molten Steel Tower City. The changing mechanical body was like a doomsday mecha holding two light blades. The forty-meter-long vehicle body, supported by a thirty-meter-high battle tower erected on top, strafed eight defense towers within six hours, resulting in the loss of the entire peripheral position at that time.

Of course, fortunately, the pitted anti-armor trenches on the outside made the Toss Land Cruiser move too slowly.

This makes it impossible to expand the results of Toth's "heat ray" firepower.

At the same time, Iron Star's blasting team hidden in the infantry tunnel repeatedly approached to detonate, so Toss had to return without success.

In the current war, Enma is always on guard against Toss's expansion, and all battles are controlled within two hours. As long as Toth opens up, Iron Star's entire army will quickly break away.

Through "eating less and eating more", Enma intensively consumed the combat potential of the Toss Corps. In fact, Toss is no longer able to enlarge his moves, as his concept field lacks "operating power" (the cd is good but the mana is not enough)

As for the third wave of reinforcements sent by the Anglo fleet, Enma also squeezed the time. At the last moment, he absolutely and violently ate up the Anglo Thos regiment.

...Of course, Iron Star has also noticed that the internal groups within the Sky Federation have also begun to "hurry"...

The perspective returns to the south, and now the Sky Empire has been reorganized into the Sky Duma.

The regent resigned, the emperor was demoted to king, and power was transferred to the parliamentary system.

This arrangement, with no objection from all parties, seemed to have calmed down the territory of the Sky Kingdom. Although it was not possible to compromise with the dissidents, it finally allowed the royal family to get out of the conflict.

While the Northern Iron Star is still fighting the Angles. The new ruling group is ready to do some "inspiring" things.

Enma commented: “They also seem to know that they cannot be in power for long, and they adhere to the principle of “if you have the right to use it, it will be wasted if it expires”. Start messing around”

On the 26th, the new Duma collectively resolved to solve the problem of economic and price stabilization, and of course, at the same time, it must reach a real ceasefire agreement with the outside world.

Regarding how the Duma reformists implemented these two policies,

Ms. Sukona among the reformist politicians: "We will organize unified procurement prices." In the grand parliament, such high-sounding words rang like bells in the hall of the Imperial Parliament and won a round of applause.

So-called "purchasing teams" have been organized in major cities and are preparing to organize armed forces to go to rural areas to forcibly purchase supplies. (Among this group of asset reformists, they believe that it is unimportant if rural and rural areas have “the slightest objection” in the acquisition because their base is the city.)

As for reaching a ceasefire agreement with the outside world, naturally this group of reformists feel that this is a bargaining chip for them to negotiate with Iron Star. From a political standpoint, the reformists even hope that "Iron Star will be mired in the battle in the north."

Just when they were about to use the economic transaction model to reduce Iron Star's results.

On the 28th, an unpretentious battle report came from the north, "The second wave of Anglo intervention forces have been destroyed." The wreckage of armored vehicles with jeweled crowns and the Anglo royal logo were scattered on the northern land, and groups of prisoners walked in with their hands raised. into the prisoner camp.

At the same time, under the ruins-style Molten Steel Tower, rows of land cruisers conducted a victory parade, announcing that Iron Star's northern main force was once again free.

Happy New Year from the South.
