Chapter 643: Fifteen. Preface (4)

Brun Hill has been staring at the map for more than 15 minutes. For a while, she would like to laugh unscrupulously three times.
Red and blue pencils are used to mark the positions of the two camps on the map. Except for the time when the war broke out, the situation between the powerful countries has been clear at a glance, and people have to admire the efficiency of Stasi.
Unlike Li Lin, she likes to use the most polite language to make the most sarcasm. Based on her restraint and manners, she prefers to give each other steps, but this time, she really can't help it.
Two equally arrogant troops show each other a lower IQ limit in a mud pit-few people see this scene and can't help but laugh.
Gong is completely a loose posture, neither entering combat readiness nor accelerating the construction of defense lines. The Army of the Principality just mobilized a group of recruits from the rear to the front. According to the tradition of seniority, the young who have not seen the blood are filled into the front line. In addition to this kind of action that makes the already fragile defense line more fragile, what should the entire Principality do? There is no trace of tension before the war.
Compared to the Army, the Principality Navy is pretty decent. Lieutenant General Makarov did everything he could within his ability. Replacing mediocre and incapable captains, increasing the density and efficiency of mines, expanding ship repair yards, seizing time to repair ships in better condition, carefully checking the armory, and forgoing some forgotten materials: for example, 40 cannons are fully used to enhance the coast The strength of the artillery, the additional reconnaissance ships to keep an eye on the actions of the Royal Navy of Albion.
It must be said that the Admiral did a very good job, better than St. Petersburg expected, he won the trust of all doubters, and completely restored the morale of the Principality Navy. But that's all. Those aging problems are not something that he can completely disappear through the naval admiral's correction, and the opponents he faces are so powerful. He has no choice but to know about mines and the strategy of fully promoting the "existing fleet".
Let's take a look at the Albion, the sealord. Their preparations are quite adequate. In order to clean up the shame, Albion is deploying troops to form a powerful expeditionary force. Equipped with the latest artillery and guns, this unit has undergone rigorous training and is fully familiar with the weapons in their hands. At the same time, under the influence of patriotism, he is always ready to launch an expedition. Smash the bear bear who launched the mean attack on the street.
It looks okay. Once you decide to enter war mode, any normal country will do the same. But what makes the Brenhill and other defense forces Gao Sen laugh and laugh is that this expeditionary force is composed entirely of the Royal Navy of Albion.
This was a strong demand from the Duke of Buckingham and Admiral Drake, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy Fleet. The reason they gave was: The shame of the Royal Navy can only be washed by themselves. If they can’t do it, there will be many competitions. Opponents—especially Charlemagne would despise the Wang Family Navy. In the naval negotiations that have been quickly finalized, they have grown out of control, and even have an inseparable idea of ​​Albion's overseas interests. Therefore, by beating the United Principality of Ross, the whole world must be informed: no matter the past and the future, the Royal Navy of Albion is extremely powerful and invincible. If you want to challenge Albion’s maritime hegemony, you must have the consciousness of becoming algal debris.
For unassailable reasons, the face and interests of the state and departments have been taken into account. Take a step back and say that if someone is not interested. Jumping out to oppose this expedition plan carried out by the navy alone, the navy who has always been the "Queen of the Crown Guardian" himself can also sacrifice "Wang Enhao", "My generation should be killed and become a benevolence, in order to repay the emperor with his broken consciousness" Spiritual killer. Under the triple pressure of face, interest and the queen, no one has objections, no one has objections, and no one dares to have objections! In this way, this plan, which has not been fully demonstrated in feasibility, was approved and started to be implemented.
It seems that this was a reckless decision after reason was stunned by anger, but through the agents of Stasi and her own speculation. But Brun Hill saw something lurking beneath the surface.
The first is the battle for services.
As Charlieman's military strength increased, the pressure on the Britannia region was increasing day by day. In order to maintain this bridgehead that intervenes in mainland affairs, the army, which has always despised, also received budgetary funding and began to upgrade and replace it. For Wang Jiajun, who has always believed that "Albian has no army. Only the Marines" and "the army is a cannonball fired by the Navy", it is equivalent to adding an opponent to budget. In this era of the arms race, every penny’s budget is important, and if more funds are needed, the Wang Family Navy must prove itself. And the weak Ross United Duchy happens to be a good sandbag that can be used to show off muscles.
The second reason is to test the military's combat effectiveness. Prior to this, the experience and tactical conception of the Albion army’s use of artillery at sea was entirely derived from imaginary and small-scale conflicts. There is no clear concept of what a real large-scale fleet decisive battle and landing battle should be. At present, such a low-risk, high-yield practical opportunity will not be missed by Wang Jiajun.
Finally, and most importantly, Wang Jiajun’s confidence in his own strength. In the eyes of this group of natural sailors, with the strength of the large fleet, they went north along the coastline of Lapland, through a small ditch-like fjord, rushed into the Lapland Bay to bombard Saint Petersburg, and then burned and looted. It's not difficult. With just one shelling, the resistance of the bears collapsed.
It can be seen that the Albion did quite a lot of homework, but in Brunn Hill's eyes, this was nothing more than paper talk and gambling.
Not to mention the 3000 mines that have been delivered to the navy of the Principality, even after breaking through the heavy blockade, under the narrow Lapland Bay and the fierce shore firepower, it is not an easy task to eject the fleet from the appropriate formation and shelling the shore. . Not to mention, the bears still have the final big killer—scorched earth tactics and strategic depth. Once the prince took the torch of St. Petersburg and the surrounding villages and towns, all poisoned in the water, and then began to retreat in a big step, every grain, every drop of fresh water, every military uniform, every bullet must be transported to Albion from thousands of miles away The expeditionary force would fall into an unsustainable situation.
Faced with this situation, Albion did not have much choice. Either insist on delivering materials from the local area and let the logistics department and the national economy be destroyed step by step; or simply end the war that won't see victory; As for the Charlie Frog, ask them to break the deadlock from the land-high spirits The proud Albion neither reluctantly nor believes in Charlemagne...
Knock--
A crisp knock on the door sounded. Brunnhill put the Albians and their troubles away from their thoughts and turned to salute her consul.
"See what is so fascinating? Oh, it's Albian..."
Putting his arm down, Li Lin walked around the desk and sat down, and Brunn Hill handed him a cup of black tea.
Black tea soaked his throat. Looking at the marks that Brunn Hill left on the map, he soon figured out to what extent the smart elf girl had been deduced.
Brenhill, as well as the entire defense force, plus Garland, are his students. Under his repeated emphasis, the importance of logistics has profoundly affected their thinking. In the process of deducing Albion's expedition, sooner or later, in the event of a war of attrition, the impact of the logistics of both parties on the trend of the battle, and then inferring the possible countermeasures that Albion can take.
Only limited by experience and knowledge, they do not know, there is another solution.
The two divisions are organized into an army. Then appoint a commander who is as open minded as Lieutenant General Mutian Kou Lian.
Nothing is more ideal than that general.
Throughout the history of Japan, it is difficult to find a job like Lieutenant Mutaguchi and Lieutenant General-to command an army whose logistics is completely cut off, and the food and ammunition is seriously deficient, tell those who complain constantly because of hunger, have Yamato Soul Japanese soldiers can and must fight even without food. Then tell them the truth: the Japanese have been a herbivorous nation since ancient times.
The Albion people do not know whether they can spread such a "genius" as Lieutenant General Mutian, maybe, maybe not. But before things evolve into this situation. They are destined to meet in front of the minefield, and then obstinately shift their attention to the land battlefield, and work with other countries to face the original trench system, muskets, artillery and hundreds of thousands of mines.
Relatively long borders, there are a few hundred thousand mines, and they are all stocks left in warehouses for at least 5 years. But soon the fully operational production line will continue to produce more mines to meet public demand.
If the human army of this world is as "sturdy and brave" as the 6th Division of the Old Japanese Imperial Army, the tactical value of landmines will be further reflected.
That's right, under the command of an officer. Kumamoto soldiers covered with grenades, armed with bayonet rifles or wooden sticks, shouted "onboard", facing the fire net woven by rapid-fire guns, machine guns, rifles, and mortars, and rushed to the ghosts of the United States. Position. Charges like waves without interruption. Even though the enemy's firepower was not well ventilated, the comrades around him disappeared one by one, still unable to stop the Japanese samurai possessed by Yamato Soul. The pale-faced Migu soldiers could only watch their opponents jump into the trenches, shouting "His Majesty the Emperor onboard" with only a little effort, and at the same time sounded the grenade-
What a pleasing scene, but unless you know that this is a battle that is undoubtedly defeated, who would do this? What's more, the Albion people only face the Principality Army, not the US team that builds an carrier every month.
That really regrets people, they should learn to change their beliefs, and fight for the first place to go to heaven to help 72 deaths.
With a smile, leaving the show aside, Li Lin looked up and asked:
"What do our human friends say?"
"It's still the same, refusing to add orders."
Brenhill shook her head, she really could not understand the thoughts of human kings and queens. While clamoring for revenge, he mobilized the army to form a coalition, but on the other hand refused to spend money on additional weapons orders.
This is not reasonable at all.
But in Li Lin's view, this is really too reasonable.
The enemies of Albian are not only the United Duchy of Ross, but also the "allies" of the human camp than the orcs, and made Her Majesty the Queen feel relieved, beware of stabbing them anytime, anywhere.
Her Majesty Elizabeth is well aware that the battle of revenge in the Principality must be a brilliant and quick victory, before it has an impact on Albion’s national strength and creates opportunities for Charlemagne and Ymir ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the war must end .
This idea coincides with Bishop Richelieu, and the Prime Minister is also worried that the long war will destroy the financial system that was finally established, while giving Albion the opportunity to suppress Charlemagne.
Their worries are not unreasonable, and the concept of rapid war is quite reasonable. The only problem is that this is not in the interest of the elf camp.
"What we need is a localized war."
Brenhill nodded for his refill, Li Lin explained in a hurry:
"War should be long-term, which can involve their strategic energy and allow them to return to their original starting point after both defeats. In this way, when we attack Charlemagne, the orcs lose their strength to go south, and Albion has neither strength nor strength. Willingness to save Charlemagne... so it will neither be a beast nor a disaster for Albion"
By the way, you can also count the gold coins while admiring the two sides fighting with each other with their own weapons.
In order to celebrate the general situation, Li Lin's mouth curled up. (To be continued...)
