Chapter 666: Seventeen. Under the City (1)

The melodious melody echoed in the room. The gramophone played the latest song "One Step Short". Under the cover of Castilian tango, Roland read through the information sent by the lace magazine "Smelling Women". , Frowning.
Since the Albion Royal Fleet planted a big head in the waters of Pilau, countries have been shrouded in an increasingly fanatical atmosphere, from the palace, salons to private restaurants, filled with joy from the bottom of the heart of the upcoming war, Everyone who has been exposed to the warm atmosphere is very consistent-the war is coming soon, and it will soon end with the victory of the human coalition.
Humans seem to be able to list many reasons to support their views, rational, emotional, religious, racial, ideological... How much is needed, but the elf camp and their consuls are only concerned with the cold numbers, Compared with the "invincible spiritual atomic bomb", steel output can determine the outcome of the war.
Are the human camp ready to fight a modern war? The conclusion reached by Li Lin and the General Staff is "no". Whether it is psychological or material, the human camp is far from well prepared.
Although they have prepared a lot for this event: including 6 infantry regiments that have just finished training, 14 grenadier battalions, 6 hussars battalions, 5 breastplate cavalry battalions, 5 dragon cavalry battalions, 2 Kosi The Jialai rifle regiment, the latest Grebois system cannon, turned into a blasting barrel prepared by brave engineers...
It's really well prepared, but in the eyes of the professional soldiers of the defense army, it is still far away.
"They don't even know what a modern war is!"
Roland condemned loudly in his stomach.
The condemnation is on two levels, namely recklessness against the human camp. It is also aimed at "modern warfare" filled with various experiments and evil toys.
The human camp is full of enthusiasm for war, but their preparations for war can only be described as chaos.
After reaching a consensus to form a coalition to fight the evil orcs. The first thing the generals of the various countries gathered to do was a violent quarrel.
Albion hopes to continue the previous marching route and attack the Kriga fortress to wash away their shame; Charlemagne wants to open a gap from the traditional front line-Lapland and the Principality's northern front, swinging north, cutting off the connection between the Riga fortress and the rear, Then, using the fortress as a bait, construct a solid position on the periphery to block the reinforcements of the Principality, making the Riga fortress a huge grinding plate. Let the principality drain the last drop of blood.
Both options have their own pros and cons, and behind them are the obvious small calculations of the two countries. If the reinforcements were transported from the sea according to the Albian plan, it would be equivalent to handing over the logistics of the army to the Albian people. In this way, no matter how unwilling, the coalition forces had to accept the command of a general Albian. And to implement Charlemagne's plan, then the glory of the fortress of Riga, the title of destroyer of the Principality. The power of the coalition commander will become Prince Louis's, Charlemagne's bag...
For the benefit of their respective countries and their own personalities, the generals marshals scolded and quarreled day and night, a group of dumb throats or old troubles fell down, and immediately a group of teammates with a hundred times more spirits came up to replace them, with a more majestic momentum and bitterness Toughness continued the war of mouth guns.
Leaving aside these dull parts, Roland carefully studied two options. Putting aside political interference, he concluded that neither of them was reliable.
Due to the thoroughness of the Principality’s work on the walls and fields, the logistics of the Albion army at the bridgehead of Riga depended entirely on sea and air transportation. With the restoration of the Kaliningrad port facilities, the logistics pressure has been eased. However, if the troops of all countries flock to the Riga region, it will be a disaster for Albian’s shipping system. Not to mention. In front of the heavy fort cannons of the Duchy of the Principality, what a good target the national troops huddled together on the beach head.
That would be a very amazing record, enough for the Principality Army and its adorers to show off the fighting qualities of the Bear Warrior, and it will take a hundred years.
Just like Li Lin once told him a joke: soldiers of a certain country squatted in a beachhead bunker and killed 3000 enemy troops who landed on the beach with a general machine gun. This great soldier who enjoys all the victories of defending the beachhead The glorious title of "the beast of Omaha" has become an immortal legend in modern warfare.
This sounds like a crappy joke, qualities and Principality soldiers... the two never seem to have an intersection, but as long as you can find so many bodies, the joke will have a sense of reality, and then a little hype will spread, this is true History.
In any case, it is not clever to repeat the Albion route.
Looking back at Charlemagne's plan, from the perspective of planning, there is not much problem. But when it comes to the logistics part, I can't bear to see it.
As a big country with a long tradition of gastronomic culture, the Charlemagne pays attention to eating abnormally.
Before formal cooperation reached, Charlemagne had sent two officers to investigate under the city of Riga. In the report, in addition to various descriptions of the combat effectiveness, weapons, tactics, and combat effectiveness of the two armed forces, the two officers spent a lot of ink, Describes the scenes of "horrible" and "tragic" in Albiang's army living meal.
The meat is too old, the soup is too sweet, the dishes are cut too thick, the bed is too hard, the pillows are too low, there is only one servant for every three officers...
Well, these can also be regarded as the failure of the Albion sweet party heresy to lack a taste in life, but the next thing, the Charlieman soldiers said they could not bear it.
Those disgusting objects stuffed with sweet cream, which the Albion actually called "Brittan crepes"? There are also so-called bread sticks, whose length, weight, and shape do not meet the standards, and they are actually filled with sugared butter! Even more terrible is that there is no piece of cheese in the entire Albion barracks!
God, this is a serious blasphemy for the sacred business of eating. In order to prevent the Charlieman Army from getting poisoned in future wars, the two officers strongly suggested that Charlieman's logistics must be the responsibility of Charlieman himself.
In addition to the official report, the two officers also wrote a booklet "Charlieman on the Tip of the Tongue" at their own expense, which described the correct battlefield life in detail: standard baguette, aromatic cheese and foie gras Each officer is served by three servants, lying on a box-spring bed, embracing a tender lady like water, a taste of authentic martini, and the soldiers can take a hot bath every day and drink the original Charlemagne...
Roland was completely speechless about this full report, but in any case, as long as Charlieman was willing, it was not impossible to do this, anyway, it was the taxpayer's money and the treasury's money, not Prince Wang's own pocket money. But Crown Prince Wang and the Army made new tricks to make the already overwhelmed logistics more vulnerable.
Crown Prince and the Army are hostile to V.E. This is an open secret, so they insisted on putting the railway management power under the control of the Army in wartime, sending reliable officials to replace company employees, and preventing a consortium from using logistics to trip them...
It is also an open fact that the Crown Prince and the Army and the Wang Family Navy did not deal with it, so they did not rely on, wait for, and do not require naval maritime transportation, and built their own "Army Ocean Transport Ship" and the so-called "Strike Landing Ship", and Prepare to name it "White Trojan" or "Agamama"...
Crown Prince, they don’t look good to the Prime Minister, so...
Why didn't this group of guys run for the annual trick to die champion?
"Don't just talk about them. That's not fair. The Navy and Titans don't lose."
Favna leaned her chin and slotted lazily.
The Navy is preparing for the "Naval Hussars Regiment" and "Navy Armored Train Regiment", and Titans is eager to try at the border of Castile ~ EbookFREE.me ~ ready to have another "surprise" at any time.
Charlieman's three armies really lost no one compared to stumbling and doing nothing.
The Commander of the Expeditionary Force is itself a problem figure. With such a group of teammates, Prince Louis can lead the group of rookies with eggshells on their buttocks to overcome the tenacious Riga fortress. Even if Li Lin showed his kindness and the General Staff had a collective stroke, it was a very difficult thing for Yalfheim not to add chaos to it.
What's more, that situation can never happen, not even one in a million.
"So the expedition is destined to fail, at least there will be no achievements worth mentioning. Prince Wang is unlikely to achieve the victory he wants, but will fall into a more unfavorable state than now."
"No, your thinking direction is wrong."
Roland exhaled with a deep breath, retorting incredulously.
"No matter whether you win or lose, Prince Wang will not suffer losses." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users Please read.)
