Chapter 897: Twelve. For the motherland (2)

Yalfheim. Supreme Command.
Slender fingers are striking the document, carefully listening, it is not difficult to hear the sound of the mahogany desktop is the drumming of Bach's "Harmony".

It’s hard to imagine that the person who wrote this thing has just experienced a mechanized deep assault if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. If I were their war mentor, I can only judge that all of their academic achievements were unqualified and they must repeat their education. ."
The Chief Officer of Alfheim raised his mouth, and the generals and colonels on both sides of the conference table followed up with laughter.
It’s not that the Defense General Staff is full of flattery. It’s really the Charlie Man’s performance is too funny. In order to maintain the discipline of the meeting, everyone has been enduring the pain of facial nerve spasm. Of course, when they are released in one breath, they will of course Some gaffes.
At the conference table was Charlemagne's latest war plan, code-named "Plan 17", the final war plan against Alfheim. In order to regain the territories that had actually been divided by the elven camp, save face, and completely eliminate "pointed ears heresy," Charlemagne formulated a set of war plans full of revenge. According to this plan, Charlemagne will attack Metz, the capital of Lorraine, and Agento Raton, the capital of Alsace, in the next counterattack.
In terms of national feelings and sense of honor, this choice is understandable, but it is not feelings that determine victory or defeat in war, but calm calculations based on strength.
You should know that this document is under the supervision of Stasi from the formulation, printing, transmission and filing. Stasi's inside line also participated in the formulation of some details. This alone indicates that the plan has a poor outlook. What is even more speechless is that the Charlie Man soldiers who made this plan have an amazingly long reflection arc. Their combat plan was based on the denial of historical experience and common sense, as well as the double mistakes of the enemy’s strategic posture and attack direction. Calculation.
The border between Charlemagne and Yalfheim’s actual control area is quite narrow, only 250 kilometers wide. The southeastern end of this border is adjacent to Serres. After a slight stretch of flat open land called Belfort Pass, it follows The Vosges mountain range is 113 kilometers. After this natural defense line, there is a series of continuous fortress systems centered on Epinal, Thule, and Verdun. Outside Verdun, it is Flanders under the control of Albion and the Ardennes plateau, where the terrain is critical. Leaving aside the defensive system between Belfort and Verdun, from a mainstream military perspective, the only possible gap in the entire line of defense is the Salm Pass between Epinal and Thule. However, this narrow passage is an ideal ambush position, used to surround the advancing enemy, and then counterattack heads are no longer suitable.
No matter from the comparison of the strength of the two sides or the strategic situation, the "defense-counterattack" combat plan is in line with the current situation of Charlemagne. Not long ago, the Charlemagne Army and the Minerva faction also tried their best to do their best. Practice this path. The difference between the two is only in the direction of defense. Minerva and Roland tend to focus on defense from the front line of Arden, Sedan, Verdun, and Rudes, while the Army strives to carry out comprehensive defense along the actual control line of the warring parties. To achieve this goal, Charlemagne built a large number of fortress systems, evacuating certain areas such as the Salm Pass to allow the invading enemy commanders to drive straight in, and then catch the turtles in the urn to fight back. But after the rise of the "new school" in the army, everything changed.
The representative of this school is Colonel Granmaison, and the main promoter behind is Lieutenant General Xiafei, the new chief of staff. The school advocates that attack is the king of war and is in line with Charlemagne's tradition. With the support of a new 75㎜ field gun with high mobility and high rate of fire, this idea can be realized on the battlefield. The pointed-eared march has fully proved this point, and it will be replaced by more and more brave Charlemagne soldiers, and it will definitely do better.
Obviously, the red deer who didn't know what was in their heads forgot the previous lesson. The experience of the blood soaked in the soil of Castile and Riga was thrown into the garbage dump by this group of fools. These people fantasize that courage can make troops invulnerable. The most common words they say are "spirit is three to one", "Bullet likes the most cowardly, and seeing the warrior can only make a detour", "the real warrior should welcome Struggling forward with the enemy’s bullets and bayonet, only cowards hide in the trenches,
mental power determines victory or defeat
,
invincible spiritual super bombs
and so on, listening to the chief’s nonsense every day Eighth, the soldiers naturally believe that "a courageous army does not need to have sufficient armaments to protect their bodies and morale. When the soldiers lose confidence in the weapon, courage will soon be shown."
The red deer weren’t even playing tricks, they really wanted to use a meatball to go head-on. A variety of "Yueyue Huoshuimujinjin" type training is commonplace. "Going forward with 112 shots per minute under the gun, keeping the formation intact" is a required course. In order to implement the concept of "spiritual power first" to every detail, the red deer also shouted "No red pants are not Charlemagne!", insisting that soldiers should wear dazzling blue tops and red pants, regardless of this How blatant on the battlefield.
"Gangbang with anger"-This sounds very similar to the island team in a certain time and space, but it is not a symptom of militarism. The trend of the battlefield in the world today is the queuing of gentlemen. The non-commissioned officers learned how to dress up as a gorgeous target every day in the military academy, and led a neatly arranged team to "Long Live Charge" and "Jade Break Charge", accusing Charlemagne's tactical concept is obviously unfair. It's just that the Charlie Man soldiers have been slammed once on the battlefield, and still promote the spirit of supremacy. It is also very rare.
It is not difficult to imagine what this group of people will do when they plan wars.
The No. 17 plan drawn up by the "New School" is basically based on the concept of direct total attack. In the plan, the first and second legions entered the Lorraine through the Saar direction. To their left are the 3rd and 5th Corps facing Metz and Arden, respectively. The two legions deployed here can launch an attack from Metz to Thionville if the enemy forces borrow Buddha Landers, the two legions can turn to the northeast to attack the enemy flank. The Fourth Corps stands by near the central zone behind the third and fifth Corps flanks and acts as a strategic reserve team. It is not difficult to see from the fact that the reserve forces are arranged so negatively, the Charlie Man also knows the importance of the reserve forces.
Anyone who recognizes the huge advantage that firepower enhancement brings to the defense can point out that the plan’s intentions are too obvious, and the preparation is insufficient, and there is little hope of success. Even a squad that is equipped with front-mounted artillery and smoothbore guns and is not sufficiently trained can rely on the fortification of the fortress and trenches to bring great damage to the Charlemagne army. The defense force equipped with automated rapid-fire weapons and mastering air control can no doubt be compared. The gray cattle of His Majesty the Tsar did better. Not to mention that pointed ears have been operating heresy for a long time, and the defense system is far more robust and complete than its counterparts in other countries.
The result of Plan 17 is only one, showing a gorgeous, grand suicide parade full of heroic sorrow to the audiences of the world, and nothing else. As for what it means... Probably only the impact of visual effects, which looks more gorgeous and more bloody-anyway, the cheering crowd cheering for this does not have to face barbed wire, mines, machine guns, heavy artillery and carpets Bombing.
Encountered this kind of opponent who "give away the head for thousands of miles, the courtesy is light and affectionate", the elf soldiers only need to laugh.
Objectively speaking, Charlemagne is not lacking in sober-minded people, including old-fashioned soldiers, people like Roland who understand the inner feelings of Yalfheim, and a considerable number of upper-class people. But none of them failed to prevent the No. 17 plan from being passed into the implementation phase. Part of the reason is that the new school is powerful, and the deeper reason is that Charlieman has no other choice than the 17th plan.
To win a and brutal modern war, the most decisive factor is the amount of resources that can be invested. The scope of this "resource" covers all aspects of the entire country. Population, industry, minerals, agricultural products...all are just consumption A number on the list can be won in the overall battle only if it has resources that can overwhelm the opponent, or if the other party overwhelms the resource advantage before the opponent fully exerts the resources advantage. The easiest indicator to measure the amount of "resources" is the industrial output value. In the history of the earth, after the Industrial Revolution, there were few war cases where the side with less industrial output defeated the side with more (a few exceptions were mostly related to a Communist Party, 1950 The new republic, which accounts for less than 1% of the world’s industrial output, and the US emperor, which accounts for one-third of the world, and international friends of 16 countries, have conducted in-depth international exchanges with real swords and real guns. As a result, everyone knows; The fighting nation and the African black milo hang pasta are both combat-level victories and do not affect the outcome of the war).
Today, Charlemagne’s total industrial output value is only a fraction of that of Alfheim. Multi-line operations continue to bleed Charlemagne, and the enemies around him limit themselves to isolation, making the possibility of diplomatic mediation to end the war almost zero. If the situation does not undergo a fundamental change, the country can only choose between self-collapse and unconditional surrender-just like the German Empire before the outbreak of the revolution in November 1918.
In the current situation, the most suitable strategy for Charlemagne is to admit Yalfheim’s fait accompli, spit out all the previously swallowed benefits, and cut off the flesh from himself to the countries, and form a vertical alliance with the countries against Yar. Werheim's continuation is waiting for opportunities in the long-term zero-sum competition.
This is the most realistic and feasible route, but it requires decision-makers with great courage, perseverance, and wisdom, not only to withstand the harsh requirements of foreign countries, but also to bear the enormous pressure of the domestic economy and public sentiment. At present, there is a lack of such a person in Charlemagne's temple. Forbearance is as strong as Minerva. Even if he knows how to act like this, he has no authority in the hand. Second, even she and Roland can hardly reverse the domestic public opinion.
To put it bluntly, in fact, the face cannot be pulled down, and the economic situation is not allowed. You can't kneel until you get enough results to appease the people or get beaten down completely. Not to mention generals with overheated minds, people with too much self-esteem and hypertrophy will not let go of the government. The mob didn’t have the patience to listen to you explain the situation at home and abroad. They only knew that there was no defeat. A group of traitors actually communicated with foreign countries, and the country was harmed with foreign ghosts. The treaty of betrayal of the country has caused everyone to lose their good days. Since the national thief will not let everyone live a good life, then the national thief don't want to live a life. Conquering the Bastille, sending the royal family to the guillotine, etc. are all minutes. At that time, even if there was no chance to find someone to top the tank, Charlemagne was not the Weimar Republic, and Jews and Bolsheviks could not be found to carry the "black sword" behind them.
These are also part of the script of Alfheim.
"We can't carelessly yet."
Li Lin tapped the table lightly, and the mockery of Charlie Man's ruthless group stopped abruptly.
"As long as the last nail on the coffin is not nailed, things are not absolute. Please keep this in mind."
"Yes, sir!!"
Raising his hands to signal his subordinates to sit down again, Li Lin turned his eyes to Brenhill on the right.
"Another 17 minutes is the starting time for "V Warfare". How is the preparation for broadcasting?"
"The final inspection of the system was completed 14 minutes ago. The circuits in the country, major cities of all countries, and Charlemagne operated smoothly, and the world is waiting for the royal voice of your Excellency."
With simplicity, firmness, and strong anticipation, Brun Hill read out the voices of all participants aloud.
"Very good, great. So start, let people all over the world, those who drove us to the corner of oblivion open their eyes, erect their ears, listen to our announcement of returning to the world, and use our military boots to move forward Let the guys who pretend to sleep pull up from the bed! You, victory!"
"Sieg. Reich!"
Standing upright, hitting the root of the shoe, and winning three times, each elf soldier has a different expression of joy, but his movements are uniform and the same as a perfectly functioning machine.
A war machine about to mass-produce death and disaster.
