Volume 18, Chapter 167: The Trap

Chapter 167: Settlement

"President Ziri, where are your troops? When can they go into battle?" As soon as I returned to Essinger, I was blocked by a large group of presidents from various guilds in China. It can be said that when our guild divided its forces to deal with the Russian protoss and ***, they were responsible for the entire Russian invasion army. With such great pressure, it is no wonder that they would get angry.

Seeing that the guild leaders seemed very excited, I had no choice but to stop, find a taller sculpture base, jump on it, and then press down with both hands to signal the guild bosses to be quiet. Seeing that I was about to speak, the presidents also fell silent and waited for my answer. After thinking for a moment, I said: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Our team is already on its way back, but after all, it is impossible to mobilize such a large force back instantly, so you must give me some time."

"President Ziri, it's not that we want to embarrass you, but we really can't hold on any longer. You don't know that the current situation is very dangerous. The Russian invasion army has almost reached the edge of the Yellow River. Here, We have never allowed an invader from any country to enter such a core area before. I'm afraid that if this continues, our members who don't know the details will be instigated!"

What this president said is actually true. In military strategy, moving forward is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes a proper strategic retreat is more important than an attack. For example, this time we used the space-for-time strategic arrangement to deal with multi-front operations. If we did not actively retreat on a large scale like ours, but went to fight the Russians head on, it would indeed be able to defeat the Russians in the early stage. People are blocked from the country. But what happens next? When our guild is freed up, we must face the Russian invaders alone. Not to mention that we can't defeat them, the form of war alone is definitely not optimistic. Although the Russian army has now entered the hinterland of our country, due to our arrangements, the losses of the guilds responsible for containment are actually very small. Therefore, the Russians do not dare to make any overly exaggerated strategic moves. They can only move cautiously little by little. The front ***, and the routes we took were all special channels that were forcibly compressed by us. If we kill all our people as soon as we come up, it is impossible for the unscrupulous Russian invasion army to move so slowly, and it is impossible for them not to dare to wreak havoc and exploit resources along the way, because they are afraid that after they divide their forces, they will be taken advantage of by us. The troops were defeated one by one.

However, although there is nothing wrong with our arrangement, ordinary players may not understand these things. It is impossible for us to explain our strategic decisions to each player individually. From the perspective of confidentiality, they should not know this at all; from the perspective of human resources, we simply do not have that much time to explain the details of each strategic intention to each person individually; from the perspective of the differences between people , those ordinary players are just ordinary people, and they may not understand the specific meaning of these large strategic plans at all. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for us to tell ordinary players about our arrangements, and they will judge whether our command behavior is appropriate based on the actual changes at this stage. If we are in a strategic retreat stage, such as the current situation, and at this time there happen to be players who believe that this is caused by our incompetence and want to overthrow us, then things will be very serious. It is not that we are afraid of someone coming out to oppose us, but that we are worried that such internal friction will affect our entire foreign strategy.

"President, what you said makes sense. I am as anxious as you are, but our troops are really being mobilized. Besides, even if I mobilize the troops back, I can't just throw them into the Russian position, right? You have to give me some time to adjust the troops, right?"

"Of course we hope we can have time to adjust for you, but we really can't bear it anymore." Another president said anxiously: "Some of my people are already scolding us for being incompetent. If we continue like this, I will I’m worried that they won’t listen to me and go it alone, and I can’t tell them our plan, so…!”

"Okay, okay, I know everyone's difficulties." I said loudly: "Do you think this is good? I will first send some super elites to use the teleportation array to enter the Russian-controlled area to delay their attack. You Come with me to the conference hall first. You can sit in on our guild meeting so that you can know our tactical arrangements. I promise to discuss the battle plan with the guild directors in the shortest possible time, and then we will Is it okay to organize the troops and send them to the front line as soon as possible after the decision is made?"

A president stood up and said: "President Ziri, you don't understand what we mean. We are not asking you for anything, but we are informing you of the fact that we can't stand it any longer. What you have to do is not to ask We explain that we will send the troops to the front line as soon as possible." After the president said that, he turned to the other guilds and said: "It is not an option for everyone to block here. It will only slow down the work speed of President Ziri. Wait, everyone should follow President Ziri’s arrangements and observe the meeting.”

"Okay." Everyone explained the mission to the accompanying guild deputies, asking them to suppress the Russians no matter what, preventing them from breaking through the final line of defense. After the explanation, they followed me together in a mighty way. He rushed to the conference hall of his guild. Fortunately, the buildings in Essinger are all built like the Kingdom of Giants, otherwise so many people would really not be able to fit in. After these guild presidents and I all entered the conference hall, the entire conference hall was almost packed. Although Essinger's building is large enough, this conference hall was not originally designed for large meetings. Now it is either There were at least five to six hundred people standing or sitting, so it would be strange if it wasn't crowded.

Many of the heads of the various guilds present were entering our guild's conference hall for the first time. As soon as they entered, many of them were dumbfounded.

"Damn, this is the conference hall?" A president almost drooled while stroking the wall made entirely of black crystal and ruby. There were quite a few people nearby who had similar expressions to him. After all, Essinger's original decoration style was indeed a bit too luxurious, but this kind of luxury was not the kind of shiny and high-profile luxury like a palace, but a kind of black and dark red color. The tone, lines are majestic, majestic and luxurious with a strong cold air. To be honest, not everyone likes this decoration style because it is too cold. In such an environment, many people will unconsciously straighten their faces and become very serious. You may even feel that as long as you are joking here, you will feel rejected by the surrounding environment. Some people have poor mental endurance. When people stare at a certain building or sculpture for a long time, they may even feel suffocated and depressed. If I had to find a more vivid metaphor for this style, then I think it is like a huge haunted European palace complex. The coldness and cruelty in the luxury are the central idea that Essinger wants to express, and also The main reason why most people don't like it is its architectural style.

Although the presidents in the city have long seen Isinger's architectural style, this conference room is now the administrative center of our guild after all, and it is naturally incomparable with those public facilities open to the outside world. At the very least, we won’t be plastering the walls with blood diamonds and black crystals in other places. We don’t have the money to do that yet.

I didn't pay too much attention to the exclamations and surprises of those presidents. Although it is polite to introduce guests to my site for the first time, we are really in a hurry now, so I didn't go. That’s a lot of effort. Besides, this is a confidential area of ​​our guild. It would be nice to bring them in. There is no need to tell them everything.

After I entered the hall, I walked directly to my special throne and sat down. Then I reached out and pressed it on the table in front of me. The door of the room immediately closed automatically. Then I heard a bang and a steel gate suddenly opened from the top of the door. It fell down and completely sealed the door. I started talking while the presidents were still studying why the door was suddenly closed.

"Okay, let's start the meeting now." I said, raising my head and shouting: "Military God, project the battle zone map to me."

I heard a snapping sound as five small doors opened simultaneously on the four corners of the room and on the roof in the center of the room. Then five rhombus-shaped eight-sided crystal pillars descended from the five holes, and each crystal pillar suddenly lit up. , five scattered rays quickly shot into the air in the center of the room to form a three-dimensional earth. Then the earth quickly enlarged and gathered in the area controlled by the Russians in northern China. Next, this area was cut out separately and then quickly turned into a horizontally expanded map. Finally, amid the surprised cries of the presidents who were listening, the horizontally expanded map actually had height differences, like a sand table, covering the entire war zone. The terrain is all simulated, and the control areas of each force are actually marked with colors.

Although they were surprised by what they saw in front of them, the presidents knew that our guild was having a meeting now, and they were just observing, so they did not interrupt. However, although they did not say anything, they were thinking in their hearts. I must find an opportunity to ask if this thing is available in the future.

"Boss, the current situation doesn't look very good?" Zhenhong said looking at the map in front of her.

I nodded slightly and said: "If the form was good, the presidents who were listening would not be so anxious. Now that our main elite troops have returned, it depends on how we use them. However, the strength of our troops and the strength of the Russians Do you have statistics for comparison?"

Rose immediately said: "We have statistics. Military God, show the Russian military strength data." Suddenly there were many abstract military strength signs on the three-dimensional map in the center of the conference hall. Each strength sign had a line pointing to a section. Note, from this we can clearly understand the specific locations and numbers of all Russian high-level arms and large corps.

"This is..." I suddenly found that the data displayed on this graph was different from the data I had seen before, but that data was when we were dealing with the Russian Protoss, not the current data, and then I reacted He came over and looked at the introduction picture in surprise and asked: "Did the Russians increase their troops again during this time?"

"It is true that they have increased their troops." Rose introduced: "During the period when we were entangled in Japan, the Russians sent an additional organic mixed army from the mainland. After observation by our reconnaissance force, this mixed army was The legion may have brought some kind of secret member into our country.”

"Secret member? You mean special creatures?"

"It is not necessarily a combat creature, but it will definitely greatly enhance the Russians' combat effectiveness or weaken our combat effectiveness. And according to the analysis of the guild's think tank, this reinforcement regiment is probably not used for combat."

"Then what are they here for?"

"Escort the secret creature."

My brows immediately wrinkled when I heard Rose's answer. "What creature can be so powerful that it needs a legion to escort it?"

"We don't know this." Rose explained: "That creature or group of creatures has been loaded on a very large transport vehicle, and the Frozen Banshee has been personally escorting the vehicle. We have more Every time I sent high-level players to try to break in, she blocked them all."

I thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't know what's inside, let's leave it alone. Let's figure out our deployment plan first. After the team is in place, I'll go see for myself what's inside the car." . The Frozen Banshee can block our investigators, but she can’t even block me, right?”

"Of course." Su Mei said: "Brother Ziri, you are the strongest spear in our guild. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are invincible, so not only are you going to see what is in the car, but also There is a more important mission.”

"explain."

"Military God." Sumei shouted while looking at the map ahead.

"Understood." Military quickly enlarged the map again, then marked several red dots on it and listed some pictures and text information for each red dot. "President, what you are seeing now are the five elite combat groups of the Russians. Although these people are not large in number, their overall combat power is extremely strong and their cooperation is tacit. You cannot snipe alone. Since you are participating in the war against the Russian protoss and the Japanese All the high-end force of our guild has been taken away, so we are unable to mobilize our forces to deal with these five elite combat groups. Many of our defense lines were breached by them before."

"I understand. After seeing what's in that car, I can just go and beat those five combat groups to the ground one by one, right?"

"You don't need to take full responsibility." Su Mei said: "Sister Zhen Hong and Sister Jin Coin are responsible for leading the main force of the guild to participate in the war, so they can't help. However, Sister Kristina should be able to take charge of the two groups. If Sister Hong Yue brings a few If you use Mobile Angels against the Gods, you should be able to deal with one group. Brother Ziri, you only need to deal with two groups."

"No, I'm in charge of the third group. Hongyue doesn't want to participate in the war."

"Why?" Hongyue finally got a chance to play, but she didn't expect me to reject it immediately, which made her quite depressed.

I looked at Hongyue and said: "You are the vice-president. You have to be here when I am not around. If all the leaders of such a big guild run away, who will make the decision in an emergency? Besides, even if there is no emergency, just Normally commanding a war is very busy, so what if we are all gone?"

"Okay!" Hongyue heard what I said made sense and stopped insisting.

"So, the assault mission is clear, what about the battle arrangements?"

Su Mei said: "We have actually already thought about the battle arrangement plan."

"What kind of arrangement is it?"

"It's actually nothing surprising to say. It's just a very simple strategy - strike halfway across."

"You want the Russians to cross the Yellow River?" I asked Su Mei in surprise.

"That's right." Su Mei replied: "Although our elite have returned, the number of Russians is really too large, so I think the plan we made before is no longer suitable for the current situation. If we and the Russians Launch a decisive battle immediately. Although we can win, our losses will be very heavy. Moreover, we also have plans to counterattack Russia and obtain their land. If we exhaust all our strength in this first stage, subsequent tasks will What to do?”

"That's right. So what are the specific opinions of your think tank?"

"The plan is this..."

The plan developed by Su Mei and the others is actually not too complicated, with two main points. The first is to mix the elite troops of our guild into the combat teams of other Chinese guilds, and then divide this strengthened blocking force into two halves, blocking the left and right wings of the Russians respectively, forcing them to choose to move forward or Back away. Of course, the Russians have worked hard to penetrate into the hinterland of our country. Of course, they cannot run back inexplicably without catching anything, so they will definitely move forward, and there is only the Yellow River in front of them.

Of course, if you want the Russians to cross the Yellow River, you cannot rely solely on blocking them from the left and right wings, because then the trap will be too obvious. So while blocking the left and right wings, we must also select the most powerful super elites in the guild to block the front of the Russians. The reason why the strongest personnel need to be dispatched here is because this frontal battlefield requires precise control. On the one hand, we need to make the Russians feel the pressure and make them think that their front and both wings are being stubbornly blocked, so that they will not see that we are tempting them to move forward. In addition, although we want to block the front of the Russians, we must also allow them to move forward, so this blocking force must be controlled. If the blocking battle is too strong, the Russians may actually be driven away. If it is too weak, it will be easy for them to realize that it is a trap. Therefore, only the masters with the strongest combat effectiveness can shoulder this front. After all, these masters' personal The combat strength is relatively strong. Whether attacking or retreating, the rhythm switching will be much faster than that of ordinary players, which makes it easier for us to control the rhythm of the battlefield.

After listening to Su Mei's report, I immediately said: "The plan is good, so let's implement it according to this plan? We are pressed for time and cannot delay."

"By the way, there is another matter that needs you to be responsible for, Brother Ziri." Su Mei suddenly said.

"What's up?"
