Chapter 4629: Strategic location

Paramore is a satellite city around Orumi. Moreover, it was the farthest from Orumi City. The reason why Lin Rui and others chose to attack this place was also considered in many ways as a meeting place in the future. The first is to prevent the enemy from cutting off the way to join the division from this position, and the other is to ensure that the logistics transportation will not be interfered by the enemy.
If you control the city of Paramore, you can ensure that other soldiers and supplies will be continuously transported from Highway 4. Paramore will become an important material transfer point and force assembly point, which is of great significance to the subsequent war.
The chiefs of the military in the federal capital of Orumi are gathered together. Minister Lester listened to the officers at hand and whispered the latest information. There was a moment of silence and said, "Gentlemen, the situation is severe. The rebels have grown rapidly, but we are not strong enough."
"The shortage of troops is only temporary. In fact, the opponent is not much stronger than us. Moreover, most of their soldiers are from ordinary civilians. These people are irritable, suspicious, and have no discipline. You only need one failure to do it. They were completely crushed." Another officer shook his head.
Minister Lester asked in a low voice, "What does the Federal Council think about this matter?"
"It's still the same, asking us to suppress violence. The wording is much harsher than before." The officer replied.
"Then the Federal Management Committee mentioned that other troops should be deployed?" Minister Lester asked again.
"The Parsons Corps has withdrawn from Anmor to help us defend the capital city of Orumi. In other respects, there are some scattered troops that will continue to support us. But the current situation is quite tense, and some local troops may be overwhelmed. We are now The only thing that can be used is the Parsons Corps." Another officer shook his head.
"I don't think the situation is very pessimistic. The Parsons are strong, and we also have the capital garrison, well equipped and well supplied. There is no reason to be afraid of those, the rebels and the mob. Now I am more worried about the management committee. Attitude." Minister Lester looked worried.
"Sir, you mean..." The officer was stunned for a moment and looked at Minister Lester with questioning eyes.
Minister Lester spoke slowly, "Elija's surrender to the enemy has had too much impact. Although we dealt with a group of people promptly, the management committee's attitude has not been clear. I am afraid they have begun to doubt us. Loyal.
Gentlemen, you all know the style of the management committee. That would never allow any little bit of disloyal behavior. And I can boldly say that the reason why we can sit in this position is not because of how capable we are, but because the management committee needs us like this.
Once we make them feel unreliable, we are not needed. And everyone knows very well that once they don't need us, then we are nothing. "
Some of the high-ranking military officers here stopped talking, and the atmosphere was inexplicably embarrassing.
"So gentlemen, we can't let the situation worsen. We must take decisive action, at least to make the management committee look like we are doing our best." Minister Lester was a little anxious. "According to the latest news, Elijah and his third division have completely surrendered to the rebels. And there is a new designation in the rebels. What is it called?"
"Free Federal Division," an officer added. "They call themselves the Free Federation Division. Their men and the rebels attacked us."
"Well, the Free Federation Division has taken the lead in attacking our outer towns. We have received multiple reports from the local security forces. And we believe that their main target should be the city of Paramore. Because at the same time, in addition, There is also a rebel army, also approaching the city of Paramore.
The management committee thinks they will join forces in Paramore and then join forces to attack the capital area. Once they win Paramore, it will have a huge impact on us. So the management committee ordered..."
All the officers in the command post stood up. Minister Lester read the order: "We must stick to Paramore, prevent the enemy's intention to join forces, and completely separate them so that they cannot form a unified force."
"The committee's order is very simple, only this sentence. But we are very clear. If we fail to do so, the consequences will be very serious. It is very likely that all of our colleagues here, including me, will be affected by this.
So I need you to recommend a trusted commander who can hold on to Paramore. Take one of the capital garrison troops and guard Paramore. I need a commander who can fight tough battles, especially good at defense. Minister Lester was a little excited.
"How is Isaiah?" an officer finally said.
"Goat Isiah?" Another officer thought for a while, "Well, I have to admit that this is indeed a more suitable candidate. I also agree with this suggestion. No one is more suitable for this task than Isiah."
"Isaiah turned out to be a general of the Orumi Federal Forces. He was demoted and demoted because of some problems. But this man is a rare commander.
Except for the Battle of Red Pine Town in the eastern battlefield of Anmore, Isaiah was not lost in a single battle. Even at the Battle of Anmore, he won a limited number of key battles, forcing General Logan to negotiate with us. It can be said that his fame was not accidental, but a result.
This person has a rigid and stern personality, an odd manner, but is extremely religious. However, on the battlefield, his rigidity became perseverance, and strictness became the absolute obedience of his subordinates. He has no bad habit of not drinking, smoking, or playing cards. He was demoted from Brigadier General to Colonel because he violated orders. "
"Isaiah the Goat, I know this person." Minister Lester nodded, "Then order him to take the capital garrison troops to defend the city of Paramore. Tell him, if he can successfully complete the task, I You can ask the committee to be promoted to major general. But if he can't keep it, then don't come back at all."
"Yes, sir." The officer nodded, "Then how much troops are we going to put in Paramore?"
"There are currently more than 3,000 armed police and local troops in Paramore. We will let Isaiah lead 2,000 soldiers from the garrison, plus the newly recruited recruits. The total force can reach 6,000. Left and right. For defensive operations, it is enough." Minister Lester replied.
