Law of the Devil Chapter 542: 【mobilization】
Chapter 542 [Mobilization]
After the first field battles between humans and criminals under Kaspersky's line of defense, the main Sairi, the lieutenant of the Commander of the Storm Legion, quickly wrote the first combat army report.
When this military newspaper was delivered to General Rostock, the empire's most senior general at present was frowned for a moment.
"Three thousand to five thousand? A small victory? No enemy defeat? One-third loss?"
Rostock looked at the written military newspaper in his hand, and his face suddenly became strange. The clerical deputy in front of him was obviously a little nervous. He looked at the commander and whispered, "Sir, is there anything wrong?"
"Small victory? Well, with a similar force, cavalry hits infantry and it hurts half a man. What a **** victory!" Suddenly, Rostock was furious and took the army report. He crouched fiercely, and seemed to tear it to pieces.
But then, the general calmed down suddenly, and his movements stiffened on the spot, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.
He re-launched the crumpled military newspaper at the table, lifted up his pen, made some changes on it, and glanced at the lieutenant in front of him: "Add my changes and re-do And then report it. "
When he said this, the old general's tone seemed helpless and tired, and he sighed long.
The lieutenant glanced at the modified military newspaper in his hand:
"The enemy was met on August 4th, and the enemy vanguard reached 20,000 north of Kaspersky Defense Line. In order to test the enemy's situation, the 6th Cavalry Battalion of the 3rd Cavalry Division of the Stormwind Corps fought, three thousand soldiers fought bravely, and the enemy forward After the defeat, the beheading was not counted. Our 600 soldiers died for the empire and wounded 96 people. "
The lieutenant who has been in the military for many years immediately sees the flower head in this revised military newspaper: literally, it is easy to make people mistakenly think that our 3,000 cavalry defeated Over 20,000 pioneers of enemy ground. Three thousand repelled twenty thousand. Literally, it is easy to draw such a conclusion, and from this comparison, it should be regarded as a big victory.
But ...
This lieutenant has followed Rostock for many years and is a trusted subordinate of the veteran general. He was puzzled, and always had a genuine style. How could the rigorous Lord Rostock have done such a false report of his achievements?
Hesitating a moment, if this loyal admiral can't help whispering: "My lord ... I see that with the regent's trust in you, even if we did not take too much advantage in the first battle, the empire would What kind of remarks about you ... "
What it means. It is to remind Rostock that, in fact, there is no need to falsely report military achievements to do this kind of thing.
Rostock laughed bitterly, watching this lieutenant who has followed him for many years, shaking his head and saying, "You don't understand, just do as I write."
The voice is not loud. But it was full of irresistible orders. The lieutenant dared not say anything, and after saluting, the silence subsided.
After a special channel, this emergency report was delivered to the Imperial City in less than three days.
News of victory in the first battle. It was soon publicized by the empire, and the news of the victory made the people who were a little alarmed at first feel relieved.
Then, after receiving the explicit order of His Highness the Regent, the commander-in-chief of the Empire launched a public opinion campaign for this victory. All the 600 heroic soldiers who died of the war awarded the "Black Iron Medal". The wounded also received the "third-class medal of bravery", and the general who led the team in the first war, the officer of the Storm Corps named Miro, also received a "medal of courage" and was promoted to the first level.
Du Wei obtained a transcript the day after the battle report arrived in the capital, which was allowed by the regent. According to Dewey's request, every battle report sent from the front will be copied to the military academy as soon as possible.
Due's reason for this request is that officers of the Military Academy need to accumulate combat experience. and so. Every battle report on the front line is a valuable learning opportunity for those novices in the college.
This excuse is reluctant. But the regent did not hesitate to agree.
Du Wei is not an ordinary citizen and will not be deceived by the hyped public opinion. After he got the report, he quickly saw the odds.
"Beheading is irrelevant ... Hum ... If the battle is really defeated, then the enemy is defeated. How can it be beheaded? Isn't the Storm Corps even doing the simple task of counting people?" Du Wei sighed and burned the report.
It looks like the first battle was defeated.
But apparently, Rostock must have obtained the Regent King ’s secret order very early. In order to eliminate the fear of the empire ’s invasion of alien land, the news of victory must be used to dilute the people ’s fear. Therefore, the old general who has always been decent and rigorous, forcing Rostock to pull his face down to do this kind of false report of military achievements.
However, Du Wei thinks this is correct.
After another day, Dewey got a more detailed battle report ... This battle report was not a transcript sent by the military, but was seconded to the tyrants near General Andre of the First Division of the Frontier Empire Air Force The leader of Tiger Squad, Zi Wei's disciple, wrote by Zige himself.
Since at the front, and next to high-level generals like General Andre, Sieg didn't spend much effort to get the real process and results of that battle. Then he sent the news to the capital.
Three thousand to less than five thousand.
Cavalry vs. infantry.
It's not a knockout, it's just a knockback.
Due to this real battle report, Du Wei frowned deeply.
Furthermore, in the news that Zieg sent back, he mentioned a piece of bad news!
Frontline heart fluctuates!
Although the Stormwind Legion is the most elite main legion in the empire. And this army that fights with Warcraft all year round, when facing monsters like Orc, because it is used to fighting with Warcraft, the Storm Legion has a strong psychological endurance when facing monster aliens.
But. The frontline soldiers are now shrouded in emotion:
The orc monsters, they are cannibalistic!
Brave empire soldiers are not afraid of bleeding or sacrifice! However, no one wants to fight for the Empire himself, his body will be dragged away by the enemy, cut into pieces and thrown into the pot and cooked!
This is terrible! !!
Although to stabilize the army, after the first war, Rostock ordered a cavalry battalion to leave the city to cope. At the risk of the other's counterattack, most of the corpses were brought back intact ... but this could not eliminate all the panic of the soldiers!
We are not afraid of death, but we are very afraid of being eaten by the people after death and becoming enemy food!
Furthermore, in a secret letter sent back by Zieg, there were some junior officers and soldiers in some second-line reserve teams. Rejected because of this news! The army therefore executed several disobedient officers, which only brought things down!
This turmoil is a headache for senior generals. Although it appears from Sieg's secret letter, such panic has been temporarily suppressed, and fortunately. It hasn't spread on a large scale, and the air force's mentality is still stable.
In the letter, Zieg also seems to reveal a meaning: General Andrea knew about this secret letter written by Zieg, but also had a vague hope. The wise Lord Duke Tulip can figure out a way to solve this problem.
Du Wei smiled bitterly and thought I was a panacea.
For the panic in the army, the most direct way to eliminate this hidden danger is to use some good news that can stimulate and inspire courage to reassure everyone!
Where's the good news? The easiest and most direct way is to win the battle! Use a hearty victory to inspire the fighting spirit and bravery of the soldiers.
But the problem is that although the first battle was won and defeated, it is okay to confuse the battle report, but the veterans in front of you are not easy to confuse.
Fortunately. The same news, it seems that Rostock also wrote a secret report to the regent king himself. Then, this question, the great and wise regent, came forward to solve it!
Soon, after an emergency consultation between the royal family and the church, the church issued a message to endorse the world as a great deity. Resist the evil races who do not believe in gods. It is also the duty and responsibility of the church!
His Highness Pope Paul XVI has announced a new doctrine. Ordered to mobilize the Holy Knights in multiple parishes under the Bright Church to assemble! In the next month, there will be more than 4,000 sacred knights heading to the north one after another. At the same time, the temple of the imperial capital will send a priest with a number of three hundred to the front. This cleric will form a local team. Including priests, teachers, elders, and many theorists.
The priests and teachers can make soldiers pray and accept the soldier's talk in the army, soothe the soldiers' emotions, and it can have a good effect of stabilizing the military heart, and the theologian can assist the battle.
This is the first good news.
The second good news comes from the magic union. The chairman of the magic union, the leader of the magician in the mainland, and Mr. Youngor Dogg issued a proposal for a magician (because unlike the pope, although the chairman of the magic union is the nominal leader of the magician, the chairman of the magic union has no right Any order to a magician on the continent can only be a call and an initiative).
In the content of this proposal, the President of the Magic Union calls with sincerity to call on the magicians on the mainland to go to the northern front to help the army of the empire. At the same time, in order to stimulate the magician ’s interest (Everyone Everyone knows that magicians are the kind of selfish ghosts with no national concept. Most magicians don't care what other people do.) The proposal book mentioned those monsters and orcs, which seem to have high magic research value!
The last one seems to have a great effect. It is said that many magicians have begun to pack their shapes and take their disciples to the north ... Of course, for them, it is secondary to help the Imperial Army fight. The main purpose is to study the orc races that have never been seen before!
The so-called research is naturally: kill them, dissect them ...
The high-profile joining of the Church of Light and the Magic Union has raised the hearts of the people and the army. The joining of these two well-known and powerful organizations in the mainland is undoubtedly a powerful booster to soothe the army!
And Du Wei, after he learned the news, he understood that there must be some hidden doctrine and compromise between the royal family and the two major organizations.
Of course, as the limelight has become more and more popular recently, there is a revival-driven Cavaliers Association, and there is no idleness.
Although the Cavaliers Association has been declining for a long time, and although it has just ended a big buzz, the momentum is quite salty, but in the short term, no one will really think that the Cavaliers Association has recovered to work with the magic union or the church. Equal position.
However, after a secret consultation with Lord Duke Tulip, Lord Deron, a public statement was issued on the advice of Lord Duke Tulip!
To defend the glory of the empire is also one of the duties of the knight!
The Cavaliers Association issued a call through branches in mainland China: calling on civilian knights, mercenaries, or cavalry groups throughout the mainland, everyone organized, and the Cavaliers Association came forward to form a mercenary model and went to the north. For the Empire.
The cost of hiring, the Cavaliers Association has offered a fairly low price ...
Because it is now in the war period, the hunting and hunting activities of the frozen forest in the frozen forest have been completely stopped, and the swamps in the south have low numbers and levels of warcraft. So almost all of the mercenary regiments on the mainland are in a state of extreme depression.
At this time, suddenly there was such an open call for mercenaries, many mercenaries who were left with nothing to do, but also courageous, willing to lick blood and eat at the blade, these habitually desperate lives Sign up now.
Of course, in fact, most of the employment costs were sponsored by Lord Duke Tulip. However, this news has not been made public, and only a limited number of people know about it.
