Chapter 984: 16. Fortress vs. Fortress (9)

The upper class of Charlemagne's army may be a little crazy, thinking a bit rigid, and sometimes show various brain disabilities, but they are not stupid. Especially after eating a few big losses and paying a lot of tuition fees, they have made a qualitative leap in understanding the importance of logistics supplies. In addition, the enthusiasm of the people to support the war has increased. The Wang Army took the opportunity to recruit a large number of laborers in an attempt to use the enthusiastic and cheap labor force to integrate and expand the railway system in its hands, give full play to the advantages of local operations, and completely prevent the recurrence of the Battle of Guadalcanal. Such a tragic scene of starvation.
Wang Jiajun’s ideas are beautiful, and their enthusiasm and effort in action are also moving, but the result of the effort... is really speechless.
The operation of the railway system has always been the result of highly precise calculations. With enthusiasm and hard work alone, sometimes it can not only play a positive role, but will become a catalyst for chaos.
Take San Mielle, one of the material distribution centers as an example. The city can use railroads and the Meuse river to transfer materials. This convenient transportation hub city also has a large number of well-equipped warehouses. In theory, this place is sufficient to help maintain the operation of a legion. After the war, a large amount of supplies did arrive in the city, but the reality was that the front line supply was kilometres away, and the rear supplies were not available. The cause of this dilemma is not only bombardment by the Defence Forces Air Force day and night, but also the biggest reason is that the material concentration is too fast to be distributed at all.
The materials gathered together are too much and too fast. The command received by the railway department was: "Hurry up and send everything to Saint Miele! Move fast! This is the time of war!" And Saint Miele's response was: "Gosh, what the do you want to do? Where do I put so many things to go?!" Excessive influx of materials and trains almost paralyzed logistics. A large number of materials piled up in the warehouse to accumulate dust, and the front line was waiting for emergency or even life-saving materials.
Another problem is more deadly. Although the railway mileage did increase, and both the carriage area and locomotive power were improved, these advances did not reduce the burden of wartime transportation. On the contrary, with the transformation of military technology and military organization, the benefits of railway development have been largely offset, and even left behind.
Soldiers who used a forebore and fired guns in the past, shot at most bullets a day. After replacing the new rear-mounted rifle rifle and volley gun, the firing procedure of the gun is simpler, the shooting frequency is higher, and the average daily ammunition consumption quickly rises to one day. The problem of artillery is more serious, not only the speed of shell consumption is accelerated, but also the volume and weight are more than ever. This requires more livestock to pull, horses eat about ten times more than humans, and military horses must be fed with concentrated feed. Their feed requirements are a heavy burden.
To make matters worse, new weapons such as rear-mounted rifled guns, volley guns, and rear-mounted rifled guns are products of precision machining. Both the supplement of parts and components and ammunition production are subject to strict technical specifications. It has become a dream to seize enemy equipment in large quantities in the cold weapon era and even the pre-gun era. All technical equipment must be carefully maintained and the supply of ammunition guaranteed. The resulting logistics and transportation burden is undoubtedly quite huge. Corresponding to this formation, the corresponding technical education in the army, the scale of technical personnel and the specialization of logistics support forces have not kept up with the expansion of the army. Troubled technical weapons are often not repaired and can only be discarded. Corresponding replacement and supplementary work will further increase logistical pressure. Urging the rear to send more urgently needed materials to the already congested material distribution center, the result is that it is more difficult to send materials to the front line...
Under this vicious circle, the frontline troops can still maintain the defense line and ensure that they do not starve to death. This is a great feat. The masters of the General Staff actually talked offensively about the offense. There is also a limit to paranoia. Frontline soldiers curl up in the foxhole to sip mud water and nibble field bread as hard as a coffin board. Driving such a group of tired and hungry soldiers to confront the enemy troops who are already prepared and ready to fight is the final symptom of delusions.
"Based on responsibilities and obligations, the lieutenant had to remind the princes present. With the current logistical situation and material reserves, the attack is purely unreasonable."
"Does your official want to say that the General Staff ignores the actual situation on the front line?"
A low, murderous voice took over the words, and the grim pupils of the dangerous light were staring at the girl sitting opposite.
The army minister who pressed the temple sighed in anger and abandonment. The generals seemed to have found the backbone of the main body, and they all came alive. Sitting across from the long table, the girl directly facing the generals of the General Staff faced the pressure of the Chief of the General Staff of the Landing Army in an impeccable manner.
Such as the sacred girl in the sky, the old and powerful military with the limelight, and the confrontation between these two people-even if it is only limited to the mouth and gun, it still has enough gimmicks. I saw that the two were facing each other silently, and the dangerous air with static sparks seemed to explode at any time.
The endless confrontation ended with a sigh from Marshal Vauban. He has a relatively clear and correct understanding of his own weight and the opponent's level. As an old-fashioned soldier, what he admires is actual results, followed by bloodline, status and the like. Faced with the real success, the problems pointed out also hit the core young girl. Marshal Vauban did not think that the other party was wrong or exaggerated. For a moment, she even thought she was cute. If they were not from different factions, the old marshal was even willing to recommend this Orleans country girl as a front-line commander and train her as her successor.
However, because he is an old soldier, he will be particularly stubborn in certain matters.
For example: loyalty to the prince.
"Major Dalk."
The old marshal used a formal tone to call Roland's army rank-together with the establishment of the anti-tank battalion battalion, the title of "rewarded" major battalion commander.
"We have all the problems that your official said, and we are working hard to solve them."
I personally went to the frontline to understand the situation, but the old marshal who could not return because of the "warm welcome" of the Defense Force knew very well what the first line had become. Although it is less than the level of the bottom of like Guadalcanal, it is already a daunting quagmire, an absolute entrance to hell.
Only after fully understanding the state in which soldiers on the front line are fighting will Marshal Vauban assume in this form that everything Roland said is a fact, and use this as a step shared by both parties.
However, he did not intend to give up on this, let alone terminate the operation.
"The procrastination of the war will also consume money. Under the premise that the peace talks cannot be guaranteed, we do not want to place our hopes on the enemy's expectations for peace."
The face of the girl, who had always kept her face straight, appeared cracked for the first time.
The words of the Chief of the General Staff are of course a resignation, a cover for the illusion of "letting the crown prince to become king successfully, and Charlemagne's arrogance in the world", but he also told the truth.
Peace has never been unrequited love. Only when both parties have the will to stop the war will they have the opportunity to bargain at the negotiating table. If one of the warring parties wants to continue fighting, the war will continue to continue until the victory or defeat is divided.
If there is no intention to stop in Alfheim, even if many countries want to intervene, no one can guarantee that it will work. Moreover, who can guarantee that Yalfheim will not promise to use privately to destroy the truce? It didn't take long for the example of the "Belfort Massacre".
Of course, the main battles do not want to stop the war.
Roland, who was unable and unable to refute for a while, silently listened to the opinion of the Chief of the General Staff of the Landing Army.
It seemed to be satisfied that the girl finally closed her mouth. The white-haired Bingbing wobon put on Yan Yan's kind expression and continued to say:
"We don’t mean to deny peace talks, but if the other party doesn’t mean peace, there is no way to talk about peace. Only when the other party understands that they can’t continue to fight and won’t win. When we completely give up our non-divided thoughts, we will return as much as possible. Conditions of leniency. Harmonization can be achieved.
From a literal understanding, this is really a pacifist argument.
"For this reason, no matter how difficult the conditions are, we can only continue to move forward, end the war as soon as possible, and end unnecessary consumption."
To put it in a nutshell, we still use military means to solve all fixed thinking. How much do these guys like war?
"We very much welcome the precious and precious opinions of the Holy Girl, and sincerely admire the merits of your officials. If you have the support of your officials and your troops, I believe that the stability of the supply line can also be expected."
As the saying goes, if it is a miracle girl, it should be possible.
This is actually just a polite word. The use of euphemistic tones implies that high-ranking Army officials have highly valued the anti-war hunting battalion on the ground. It is not to despise prudent tactical suggestions, nor does it not value the Holy Girl and Her Royal Highness.
Therefore, we have listened patiently to you for such a long time, and expressed that we have fully understood the ideas you want to express. Please understand us.
From the Minister of the Army and the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, to the generals wearing the staff decoration, they all expected the meeting to end there.
In a sense, their wish was heard by Roland, and it did come true.
"Thank you, Lord and the Army, for your love, you can't thank you."
She understood.
The atmosphere in the conference room relaxed momentarily, and a bunch of people gasped in their hearts and began to relax their nerves for a moment.
The girl counterattacked with an impeccable, pure smile.
"Now that the Army has issued an official invitation, the Xiaguan will immediately begin to formulate the army's movement plan and make relevant preparations to strive to move to the front line in the near future."
"...What do you mean, Major Dalke?"
"Huh? Your army chief of staff did not say'look forward to the support of your officers and your troops". As a member of the Charlemagne army, it is our duty to obey the military order to support the front line. Isn't that the case? "
Innocent~EbookFREE.me~ It can be said that the pure smile like a saintly girl has become a devilish smile in the eyes of the soldiers. Several staff officers held their heads and issued a "calculated" whisper. The granite sculptural face of the Army Chief of Staff was even flushed, and the veins of the large frontal horns twitched and twitched, causing people to worry about when and where The root blood vessel will explode due to excessive pressure.
Holding a feather arrow as a command arrow, and taking what you said casually as a formal order-this kind of activity of the army has not done a lot, it is called a skilled business. But one day someone will use the same routine on themselves, and it tastes... it's sour.
If the other side is replaced by someone else at the moment, save your life and face, and the generals will also scold the words "I have never seen such a brazen person!" Now... a group of big men, they don't count what they say, they yell at the pitiful little girl to lose their temper, and even roll up their sleeves to get started. If this spreads... I believe that many people will feel that Captain Charlemagne's army commander has a good idea.
Demon, this guy must be a demon.
The school gate wailed and scolded in his heart. The holy girl, who was upright and hateful, got up and performed a beautiful military salute. Leaving a sentence of "So, Xiaguan quit" and a room of soldiers whose blood pressure is so high that they burst their watches. He left the meeting room with a beautiful gesture.
