Chapter 753 17.26 (Part 1) Vaner's Missed Opportunity

In 3241, Poma led the Corps to defeat the enemy again in the Battle of Yandang.

In this battle, Vaner mobilized 67 ground armored units, including six heroes and 670,000 troops on the northwest front.

Poma accurately judged the cycle of Anglo's cargo ship replenishment each time, dispatched sea destroyers to maintain reconnaissance, and then dispatched submarines (a war of exchange between weak sea powers), successfully making Anglo's cargo ships insufficient for two consecutive months.

When the Anglo troops were insufficient in cargo, they naturally stopped the large-scale offensive on land.

When all the Anglo mobile forces on land slowed down, Poma also found the weak point of Anglo's defense line. In February of 41, the Corps led by Poma was like a heavy hammer hitting the gap. The 200,000 troops crushed the defense line of Anglo and its allies in Yandang City under suppression.

Bo Ma looked at the front line and penetrated into the enemy line. His own motorcycle breastplate knights had just guided the firepower of his own artillery. So from a distance, these mechanical black dots were hazy in the smoke, and could only be judged by the dust raised by the motorcycle.

Bo Ma pointed his finger in the air in front of him.

Bo Ma: "System, count my victory points this time"

… The difference of time travelers these days mostly comes from "future dividends"…

In the past few years of the Dilong War in Wanlun Continent, the two sides have been facing each other on the front line. Both sides used trains and airships to transport a large amount of supplies to the front line. In this tug-of-war, both sides fired tens of thousands of shells at each other's positions every week. Wei Keng commented: "This kind of artillery fire is not just bombarding people, it can completely burn the river"

Although Enma's battles in the sky a few years ago were also large in scale, most of the battles were mainly in motion, and they would never repeatedly pour shells in one place. Because Sky Iron Star Industry can't afford it, Enma, a "poor family living on a poor basis", can't afford to fire artillery shells, and is better at intercepting the opponent's supplies, making it impossible for the opponent to prepare for such a large-scale artillery attack.

Now the imperial monopoly war is completely a "wasteful" war. The capitalists have accumulated capital for decades, and at this time, they use it in the war like water.

In this front-line war mode of fortress confrontation, the cost of attack is greater, so the conservative officers of Anglo and Ver will not launch a large-scale attack unless they are politically forced to do so.

... Poma effectively took advantage of the opportunities created by the "rebels" in the Anglo colonies...

The defense line of the Yandang area is the core industrial area of ​​Anglo, where industrial accumulation has been carried out for nearly a thousand years, and the railway network is dense, providing strong transportation capacity for the war.

Originally, even if the noble generals of Ver knew that Anglo was weak, they would not easily launch such a risky attack with their "personal reputation gamble".

The noble generals were more inclined to "see that the enemy was struggling, which means that the decision was successful, so why not continue to follow the rules and use slow and heavy pressure to force the opponent to fail?

If the attack failed and the so-called "losing the whole war in one afternoon" situation appeared, then taking the blame would be enough to ruin the noble generals in high positions.

This way of attributing glory to a few people in the upper class, thinking about personal reputation in war, not daring to take responsibility, and therefore lacking "attempts" in strategy

So in this war, the Anglo-Valer noble officers could not "actively create offensive opportunities and then actively seize them. ”

…In the Palace of Mirrors in Versail, those marshals who were covered with medals all “retired behind the scenes” in this battle…

Because Poma’s origin was not in the capital circle of Versail. Instead, he was in the periphery at the bottom of the contempt chain.

If Versail had not encountered this war, Poma’s efforts as a soldier would not have been so easily recognized.

In the Versail Parliament, Poma’s series of victories in the southern colonies were not taken seriously.

The bureaucrats who came from a military aristocratic family with more than a dozen generations of “hard work” believed that the southern battle was won by Poma, who just happened to catch a dead mouse and seized this opportunity. ——There are many noble generals who came from the capital district of Versail, who commented at this time: “If I go, I can do it too”. (All of Poma’s “correct decisions” are inseparable from the advice of the crossing system.)

When the politicians of the imperial capital faction in Versail attributed Poma’s victory to luck, both openly and secretly.

When the news of the victory of the southern colonies came, the parachuted officials of the Parliament did not examine “why it was successful” but boasted in the office. The poem "Mechanic God bless Versailles" and the lyrics "Long live the elders of the Parliament" are embellished with "the bravery of the frontline soldiers", which invisibly makes the frontline soldiers feel disgusted.

... In this great change, who will God bless? ...

After the Battle of Yandang, on April 23, Poma began to reorganize the troops. Some veteran non-commissioned officers were promoted to colonels by him. This kind of "country bumpkin" who was promoted was not recognized by the noble officers who graduated from the "National Military Academy" in the capital of Versailles, so this Some "country bumpkins" with good abilities can only be loyal to Boma in the future.

On the bumpy streets of artillery shells and bombs, Boma sat in a rivet-welded steam armored car. There were a lot of documents around him that needed to be dealt with in the occupied areas.

These things included the problems of emotional venting after the occupation by the own army. The generals were gentlemen, but the soldiers were crazy victors. "In the ancient times, traffic stars spoke in a proper manner on the stage, but the fans off the stage were not so rational."

After the colonial troops he led rolled out of the artillery fire, they needed a breather from the long tension. When they arrived in the city, they would immediately scream when they saw women. All moral rationality was put aside and they needed to relieve pressure.

In this process, it was impossible for Boma to protect the interests of all the people in the occupied areas, but some important people had to be protected first. To maintain the rule of the area. Collecting materials is to prevent chaos. Oh, even if it occurs, it must be ensured that it can be suppressed.

… Boma calls himself a realist and does not believe in "liberation"…

Just when Boma was keeping his army stable and checking the remaining spoils in the ruins after the bombing of the artillery fire, a commendation order from the rear made Boma put down the things at hand and frowned at the commendation order from the rear.

In the command platform mixed with the smell of ink and telegraph sparks, the atmosphere became solidified and hurriedly tense with the ticking sound of the telegraph.

Just when all the subordinates thought that the general was going to be furious, Boma: "These masters are really clever."

The Parliament intentionally or unintentionally downplayed the role of the frontline commander. It was a clever act, thinking that the frontline soldiers could not see it, and that the rhythm was still easy to lead. In fact, it made a major mistake. Their tricks were actually visible to everyone, but they thought that others could not see it and were performing hard.

On his Land Cruiser, Boma announced that he would obey the Parliament's dispatch and garrison on the Western Front of the Empire. This caused the "surprise" of the members who were listening.

The allies that Boma cooperated with in the Battle of Yandang were very "confused" and "incomprehensible" about the operation of the capital of the empire.

The general on the front line had just won the battle, and he was about to be transferred by the masters in the rear, and then a commander was airdropped to pick up Taozi. The local factions of Vaner who were waiting for Boma to fight suddenly succeeded when they saw the operation of the bigwigs in the Mirror Palace.

Even if the Parliament did not suppress him, it was also a rabbit dying and the fox mourning. Because in this case, what's the point of winning a battle? Won't he be kicked away by the parliament masters?

The other generals attending the meeting persuaded Boma to fight back against this order, (Li Xlong encouraged his colleagues: Why don't you fight with the brigade commander? He himself doesn't dare to do it.)

Boma was very moved by the recommendation of these colleagues, but he still had to obey the parliament's order.

... The consensus system brings some selfish people together, but inside this "consensus" shell, there is still a pile of stinky things...

In the capital of Vers, in the luxurious parliament hall, the upper masters saw Boma accept the order and shook their wine glasses proudly.

Boma fought well in this war, but this kind of military general plan at the front line violated the taboos of the masters, more than 600,000 troops, six army generals and seven local governors in series, and the mobilization and coordination of the navy.

The masters of the parliament knew that Boma, who came from the south of the army, was in series to carry out this war.

Before the war, they secretly acquiesced, because at that time these masters were not sure whether they could win, and thought that if the adventure failed, this country bumpkin from the south would take the blame.

The nobles in the Mirror Palace calculated that it was just a small victory, but they never expected that it was a big victory. The whole of Vaner was now shocked and happy. In this way, more than 600,000 troops united to make a unified action, which was a threat to the masters of the parliament. So they were eager to dismantle this unofficial military commander-in-chief and send their own people to key positions to take over the war situation that was improving.

However, the masters of the Vaner Parliament did not know what kind of crisis Poma's retreat would bring to them.

…Politicians now think they can manipulate the frontier generals as puppets as "string pullers", but the stage they are on is not stable...

On June 7, 3241 in the Fire Emblem Calendar, Lupin V, the new general sent by the Vaner Parliament, arrived at the battlefield. When the airship landed in Ludao Yandang City, rows of female soldiers held flowers in their hands and prepared a welcoming ceremony.

Bo Ma looked up at the riveted airship armored shell in the sky, and a sarcastic expression appeared on his lips.

This general is a level 5 hero, and his military talent is good, but it is still at the level of the old army. More importantly, he was airdropped from above, and the political forces behind him required him to expand the victory.

Changing generals on the battlefield disrupted the old coordination and command tacit understanding, and the war returned to the state of continuous bombardment with heavy artillery and repeated consumption around the gap.
