Chapter 982: Arming (on)

"what!"
Mountbatten woke up suddenly. He was soaked in night sweats and had a headache.
Four days have passed since the nightmare was encountered in his military camp.
The chief clerk of the Civic Temple described a terrible future for him, a future raging and demon-ridden by Ouke, and more importantly, the other party has made a straightforward statement that the blood worship cult has penetrated into the upper levels of the Republic.
They are the leaders of this war, and they are brewing a huge conspiracy.
Mountbatten never thought of himself as a savior. In Kwai Yuanling, he also had so many short meetings to see himself as a savior.
But reality told him mercilessly that he had nothing to save.
He couldn't shake that scene out of his head.
The Civic Temple seeks to cooperate with him, but for an active military member, to cooperate with foreign forces, in other words, is "treason."
The other party claimed that this was to save his motherland, but he was not sure, and it was difficult for him to completely believe the other party, even if they had the court as a guarantee.
Until they said he took him to a destroyed altar, where the judges were dealing with a "thing".
It used to be a human being, perhaps a soldier, but there is no doubt that some kind of force turned it into another existence.
At that time, Mountbatten was shocked and shocked.
He had also been frightened in battle before, but the pure horror and the smell brought by the monster he saw, that feeling... has been haunting him, no matter when he was asleep or awake.
demon--
"Well……"
Mountbatten staggered up from his camp bed and put on a brand new uniform.
The sun was shining outside, and he could hear many people and vehicles coming and going.
He has a lot of things to do. If he wants to be vigilant at all times, then he cannot let his consciousness and body rest.
Ok has captured the Gemini Pass, and the troops besieged in Heitz Forest have been eliminated.
According to official statistics, more than 450,000 troops have been lost, accounting for more than half of the frontline troops. The entire theater of operation has been stormy.
What's worse is that, due to the full-line offensive approach of Ouke, many troops were tied to the front line and could not be withdrawn. There were only less than 200,000 troops that were truly withdrawn from Dunwich, and the original troops were only 300,000. At least nearly one hundred thousand troops were trapped in the siege of Ok.
And those people can hardly be saved.
The loss of equipment is more serious than the loss of personnel. In order to cover the withdrawal of front-line troops, the front-line air force, which has already suffered huge losses, has to take off frequently to fight against the air force of Ouke with a disadvantage.
After several days of air combat, almost all the airfields in the rear were emptied. The original twelve aviation wings could only be downsized to five. Experienced pilots were almost killed, and only recruits and instructors still training in the rear. Urgently transferred to the front to fight.
In order to be able to evacuate quickly, many troops abandoned heavy equipment, and the tank became a burden. They could only be blown up or abandoned. The same was true when the car was out of fuel, and the artillery was abandoned from the beginning.
Most of the equipment stored in secret bunkers is not available at all.
Half an hour after the war, a large number of giant rockets flew from the coast, destroying most of the bunkers with appalling accuracy. A few surviving bunkers were also found by the Oakes in the subsequent battles.
Only a few of the most elite armored divisions have preserved their armor strength under the order of priority evacuation.
Mountbatten’s troops were able to move from a safe location because of advance warning and response from the citizen’s temple.
He was also angry at the time, why didn't such information directly tell Dunwich's command post? Why not tell the Presidential Palace?
But the chief clerk told him straightforwardly.
"Any warning is meaningless, and this war is bound to break out."
Mountbatten did not ask about the result, but he noticed another thing from the flashing eyes of his friends.
They obviously did not fully tell themselves the truth.
But this is not important because he knows that even with the information, the situation will not change much.
They all underestimated the strength of Ouke. Although they have a certain understanding of the growth of Oke's military power, they still did not really understand what is meant by "exceeding common sense."
They can use wrenches and hammers to knock out a highly mechanized force.
Mountbatten's first class in the military academy told him that in contemporary warfare, it is no longer a matter of wisdom and strategy, but of real power.
It is technology, industry, and population.
These three things have always been the capital of the New California Republic, which is proud of human nations.
Now, although very reluctant, Mountbatten must admit that all three of them have been surpassed by Oak, and what is more terrible is that everyone, including him, does not think so...
In the case of technology~EbookFREE.me~ productivity and population lagging behind, he does not know how to win this war.
Perhaps if they were lucky, they could win the next two battles, but the overall situation could not be reversed, which made him the most anxious.
He went out and stood in pure sunshine, watching the troop trucks and trucks rolling in the mud.
Was the warm rainwater pouring out of the street at an untimely time, the nearby roofs and towers shone, and sewage was flowing in the gutters.
The troops are ready to go to the front.
As he walked between the roaring heavy transport vehicles, he kept calming himself, trying to calm down.
Mountbatten saw the head of the regiment, Colonel Graus.
He was standing on a protruding hard soil plate behind the barn, supervising the loading of the transport plane.
The colonel looked impatient and nervous.
The residents gathered around him, begging to hope that more of their valuable property could be taken away, but this place would soon become a battlefield, leaving them only two hours.
Grouse noticed the arrival of Mountbatten and squeezed out of the crowd.
"Sir, you can count."
He mumbled and said to Mountbatten:
"These people are really annoying me. I just want to take them, their families and their basic property out of here, but they are too worried about their tillers and harvesters. I really want to Let you talk to them about how many oks are 30 kilometers away from here to eat up their entire family."
"Then cause a massive panic?"
Mountbatten smiled bitterly.
"Did we not watch enough these days, all kinds of panic, it has no benefit except to create more chaos."
