Chapter 406 War Trends

The next day, everything was normal in Tieyang City. The relationship between the Crescent City troops and the Wolf Attack troops was not affected by yesterday's group fight.

The fight yesterday was only a small group of people, and the cause was just a quarrel and some conflict of ideas.

At this time, everyone can distinguish priorities even at the top. Differences in concepts cannot offset the friendship of fighting side by side.

In the solitary room, Sibel intentionally locked Dongdong and Karl in the next room.

They are actually the same type of people, they are both temperamental, and their tempers come and go quickly.

When the two of them first entered, they were still quarreling at each other. After they got tired of the quarrel and calmed down, they didn't know who started joking first. They both told each other stories about their past, and they became familiar with each other as they chatted. Finally, they just talked. They made peace and agreed to have a good fight after the war.

On the other hand, regarding the cause of this group fight, Siebel once again reiterated the discipline in the army that does not allow the abuse of prisoners.

The backbone of this wolf attack army is the thugs who defected with Fenrir, and the main force at the grassroots level is mainly soldiers recruited from the Borderlands warlords.

No matter how the thugs grew up in the relatively civilized interior, the people in Borderlands were much more barbaric.

This personnel structure has led to a gangster spirit in the Wolf Raid Army, which is mainly manifested in a weak sense of discipline, a dislike of explicit rules, and a greater emphasis on brotherhood.

But at the same time, they are very strong-willed, and "big fists mean justice" has been engraved in their bones.

A veteran figure like Sibel is also a very powerful extraordinary person, so his words are very effective.

She ordered not to touch the prisoners. Even if the people below had resentment in their hearts and scorned this kind of discipline, they could only listen to her honestly.

At noon, good news also came from the northern battlefield. The army led by Fenrir personally successfully launched a counter-encirclement and suppression campaign and forced the main enemy force back.

From then on, the terrain between the northern and southern armies of the Wolf Raid was basically a great plain, and there were no heavy military barriers on the enemy's side to allow them to march for a long time.

As for the next military decision-making, everyone faces different differences, and their decisions will affect the entire war and even the direction of the entire world.

At the Tieyang Temporary Command, Sibel, Su Mo and other leaders of the Wolf Attack and Crescent City forces gathered together.

On the big screen in front of them, Fenrir, dressed in black, was remotely connected to everyone.

Three years have passed, and the Wolf King's face has become somewhat weathered. Because he has been working hard day and night, you can even see a few white strands in his black hair, but his vigor has not diminished at all compared to before, and his dark purple eyes are still the same. The majesty is compelling.

Fenrir nodded to everyone and said calmly: "We are all companions who have been together for many years. Let's not say those polite words and get straight to the point."

"The Battle of Tieyang is very critical. By winning this place, we not only have a complete military production chain, but also gain vital battlefield initiative."

"The main enemy force has retreated to the other side through the "inland sea", and the area east of the inland sea is basically under our control. Next, we are faced with two choices. "

A strategic map appeared on the screen, with a wide and winding blue zone in the center, running from north to south.

Anyone with a little knowledge of geography knows that it is the "inland sea", which is located in the middle of the world government's territorial area and is divided into two blocks: east and west.

The main battlefields of previous battles, including Tieyang and Crescent City, were located east of the Inland Sea.

Several points were marked on the map, and Fenrir's voice came: "The first option is to suspend the offensive that has lasted for a year and rely on the coastline in the Thorn Ridge, Tieyang City, and Pingling areas to connect with the world. The government has formed a situation of confrontation between the east and the west, and will choose the opportunity to move eastwards in the future.”

Immediately afterwards, the strategic map changed. Multiple arrows were subdivided into the North and South armies. Those who knew military affairs could see that it drew a very detailed attack plan.

Fenrir: "The second option is to maintain the current offensive, use cross-sea bridges, shoals and other places to break through the inland sea blockade, invade the hinterland of the World Government, and seize key strategic cities. Finally."

"Destroy them completely."

Without hesitation, the backbone of the Wolf Attack, led by Sibel, supported the second option.

The reason is also very simple. With the recent capture of Tieyang, the morale of the entire army is at a high level, and the enemy's confidence has been greatly damaged. If we don't take advantage of the victory at this time, how long will it take to attack?

But soon, Shangguanli stood up: "I don't agree with the second option."

Fenrir: "Reason?"

Shangguanli: "We can no longer afford to fight."

Sibel was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "What are you talking about? Our Wolf Raid has been fighting with the enemy for a whole year without saying a word, and you have only been in the war for a few days and you say you can't afford to fight anymore?"

Shangguan Li said seriously: "I'm not talking about us mercenaries, I'm talking about civilians everywhere."

"Have you ever seen how the world government forces have exploited civilians for this war?"

"A large number of civilian factories have been put into military use, daily production has seriously stagnated, and materials are in short supply and prices have skyrocketed. The wealth accumulated by countless people who have worked hard for half a life has been wiped out. Even in a giant city like Crescent City, a piece of bread has increased to hundreds of yuan, or even Some people are already starving to death!”

"The top priority now is not how to expand the results of the war, but to settle the rear as soon as possible and resume production. No more deaths can be allowed."

Sibel frowned and said in a deep voice: "Commander Shangguan, war is cruel, and it kills people. The kind of war without sacrifice simply does not exist."

"If we stop now and wait for the World Government to recover, repair a large number of bunkers, mobilize troops to expand the scale, and then fight again, how many people will die?"

"It is true that people will die if the war continues, but we should end the war as soon as possible and let as few people die as possible. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Shangguan Li: "Since it must be ended as soon as possible, why can't it be ended now?"

Fenrir: "Then tell me how to end it now."

Shangguan Li: "Sit down and negotiate with the World Government to reach a ceasefire agreement that is beneficial to both sides and stabilize the situation first."

It can be clearly seen that the core members of the Wolf Raid showed disdain in their eyes. Obviously, in their view, this approach is extremely weak.

Xibel also said disdainfully: "Do you think this is realistic? Do you think the World Government will allow its legitimacy to be challenged and form a situation of East-West division with us?"

Shangguan Li: "In my opinion, this is not impossible, because we are now the winners, we have just won a victory, and we have more bargaining chips at the negotiation table."

Xibel: "Then I tell you clearly that your idea is wrong. I know this group of insects much better than you do. The giant companies would rather let the World Government overturn the chessboard and push everyone into the meat grinder of war, and will not compromise on such things."

Shangguan Li: "Why don't you want to try? What is the purpose of launching this war? Isn't it just to stop people from dying like before? Why can't we try this direction first?"

The two people insisted on their own opinions, and the argument was inextricable, and no one could convince the other.

Just when the situation was deadlocked, Fenrir, who had not expressed his inclination, spoke: "Captain Su, I want to hear your opinion."

On the Wolf Attack side, the leader was Fenrir.

And on the Crescent City side, the leader was undoubtedly Su Mo.

It's okay for people like Xibel and Shangguan Li to express their opinions. We are all companions, so we can say whatever we want to say.

But the final decision can only be made by the two leaders.

Fenrir asked Su Mo directly, and the others stopped talking and looked over.

Su Mo looked at the screen in silence for a while, and the next answer was a bit surprising: "I don't agree with both choices."

"Reason?" Fenrir was as concise as ever.

Su Mo: "Because the price is very high."

"If we choose to suspend the offensive and keep the existing results, we may be able to obtain peace for a period of time."

"But as Xibel said, this kind of peace cannot last forever."

"This time, we were able to defeat the world government army in Tieyang and make the giant companies suffer. To a large extent, it was due to our rebellion and surprise attack, which caught them off guard. This kind of victory cannot be replicated."

"If we stop at this time and wait for the other side to recover and wait for the opportunity, or take the initiative to attack, what price will we pay?"

"The second one is the same. If we continue to fight, it will consume a lot of manpower and resources. Where do these things come from? We are not gods, and we can't make water and bread out of thin air."

"If we want to open up new fronts and fight continuously like in the past year, we can only exploit our compatriots in the rear."

At this point, something strange happened.

In everyone's impression, Su Mo is a very strong person. What storms have he not experienced?

But at this time, he inexplicably red-eyed in the combat meeting, hugging his arms and shaking his head.

"I don't want anyone to sacrifice anymore, whether it's the Wolf Raiders, our mercenaries, or our compatriots in the rear, who have sacrificed over and over again for more than a hundred years. Enough, really enough, the world shouldn't be like this."

Everyone didn't understand why Su Mo suddenly became so sentimental, and fell silent for a while.

Nuo Bai was thoughtful, stepped forward and gently hugged Su Mo's shoulders, comforting him with a hug.

At the same time, she took out her mobile phone and typed, quietly showing the screen to everyone:

[Since the New Year a few days ago, he has been in a bad state]

Fenrir looked at Su Mo and thought for a moment, and decided to be the "bad guy" and tell the reality.

"Without sacrifice, it is impossible to end the war. Now it's nothing more than a question of who to sacrifice."

Su Mo took a deep breath, patted Nuo Bai's arm, indicating that he was fine, and the fragility that just surged out of his heart seemed to be suppressed by him.

His voice became more vigorous, and he replied: "You are right, there will definitely be sacrifices, but we can choose a way with the least sacrifices, that is, to end the war as quickly as possible."

Fenrir narrowed his eyes: "It sounds like you already have an idea?"

Su Mo nodded, took over the control of the screen with the computer next to him, and marked a combat mark in the hinterland of the area occupied by the World Government.

Instantly, the sound of sucking cold air sounded in the room, and everyone looked at Su Mo in astonishment.

Su Mo looked at the screen and said word by word: "Attack the capital."

No one expected that Su Mo's idea was to attack the capital directly? !

No truce.

No attack from the outside.

Directly drive straight into the capital? !

Shangguan Li frowned and asked: "Captain Su, did you not rest well? The capital not only has the world's strongest fortifications and the world's most sophisticated army, but is also located in the core hinterland, with the "Inland Sea Fleet" serving as a sea gateway. "

"Let's not talk about how we break through the blockade of the Inland Sea Fleet. Even if we really cross the Inland Sea and break in, do you know how difficult it is to capture the capital?"

Sibel also looked confused: "Master, don't tell me you are considering beheading tactics, that is unrealistic."

"After the northern battlefield ended, the main enemy forces retreated. There are countless extraordinary people in the capital, and there are three who have reached the peak of the seventh stage. Big Sister can't even hold them down."

At this time, Fenrir signaled them to stop and said in a deep voice: "Captain Su, continue to talk about your plan."

Su Mo shook his head: "No, the plan is to attack the capital directly and decide the outcome in one battle."

This crazy idea made Fenrir hesitate: "You mean, just go ahead and put all your troops on it, make a big bet, and bet on capturing the capital in one battle."

Su Mo: "Yes, the headquarters of the three giant companies are in the capital. They will attack them in one go and overturn the card tables and all their trump cards. This is the fastest way to end the war."

Fenrir: "I won't discuss the success rate at the tactical level with you. I'll just talk about human nature - not everyone is willing to sacrifice."

"I can subdue those warlords in the Borderlands and raise the banner of Wolf Raid again, not only with my fists and justice."

"What's more important is that they believe that by working with me to overthrow the world's governments and giant corporations, they can have bigger houses, better food, and live a happy life in the future."

"The same must be true for the mercenaries under your command. There are noble people who are willing to sacrifice everything, but most of them just think that they have a bright future and can live a better life by hanging out with you."

"If you want to attack the capital at any cost, everyone will understand how terrible the casualties this means. They will retreat before the fight begins, and their hearts will be scattered."

Su Mo showed a complicated smile and sighed: "I know that this kind of strategy of taking the capital regardless of other areas actually has no strategy and is a bad fight."

"This kind of head-to-head battle is nothing more than a competition of which side can gather more people and accept sacrifices more. Often, whoever can do it regardless of the cost is the winner."

"I also know that sacrifices on this scale will scare everyone. So since everyone doesn't want to die and wants to live and live a better life, let's stop here."

"Those infantrymen who should be the main force in the attack, don't let them go again."

Fenrir asked in confusion: "How can you conquer the capital without letting the main force of infantry come in? Just rely on drones, Titan mechas, and high-level transcendent beings like us?"

"This is impossible. The capital is not as good as Tieyang. We can't behead them. We can't defeat the enemy's morale in a short time. They will definitely defend every place and carry out street fighting. Without enough infantry, we can't cover the entire battlefield."

Su Mo's eyes became intense, and there was a chill in his voice: "What I'm saying is, don't let the infantry around us get involved."

"Because they are human beings and my compatriots. I don't want to see my compatriots fighting side by side being crushed like dust by war machines."

"If there must be troops, they have to grind meat, die, and go to hell."

"Then let other species sacrifice on behalf of humans." (End of Chapter)
