Heart of Empire Chapter 310: The harbinger of total war

Of course this copper mine is to be established, and it is the most important part of the current White Wolf Fort work sequence that Dane has placed.

Related matters are handed over to those construction workers who are recognized by the system. As for Hulk, he was sent out by Dane to other places to see if he could find other mineral resources within the territory he controlled.

Actually, if there is anything not so good about this new copper mine. There is only one point: it is a bit far away from White Wolf Fort.

With a distance of 30 to 40 kilometers, if there is any accident in the copper mine, it will take almost half a day to arrive when the troops are dispatched from White Wolf Fort. Relatively speaking, this place is closer to Governor Oze's sphere of influence.

This is a place where accidents are quite easy. If the interests of the copper mine are large enough, it is easy to be watched by some relatively powerful bandit groups, or even other warlord forces. Moreover, if the relationship between Dane and Governor Oze is no longer so close in the future, the safety of this new copper mine needs to be even more worried.

However, no matter how many worries there are, since there is such a useful resource here, it is impossible for Dane to waste it.

After returning to White Wolf Castle, Dane approached Chapple and explained to him about the copper mine.

The follow-up mining work and safety work, I believe that after clearly explaining the importance of this place to Chapple, the Chief of Logistics who sits in the White Wolf Fort should be able to arrange it.

After talking about these things, he heard another news from Chapple, a bad news.

"General, some of our eyes and ears in the north have found some information about the progress of the war. Schindler's total war may not be far away."

"What is the specific information? Is it really going to be done?" Dane couldn't believe it.

Since the battle of Shizuipo, Schindler established the basic situation of two strong contenders. Up to now, the preparation time for the war is still too short. As far as Dane feels, he is not ready for the next all-out war.

As for Governor Oze and Governor Conley, their respective forces are even bigger, and it is very troublesome to handle and mobilize them, let alone coordinate and take care of so many small warlords on the same front. The situation they faced was much more complicated than that of Dane, and it was absolutely impossible to make all the preparations in such a short period of time.

Although, almost everyone knows that there must be a big battle between Schindler's two governors. But this war is not yet ready to break out. It was precisely because of this that Dane was surprised by the news that Chapple said that 'all-out war is not far away'.

"Actually, it has already started." Chapple said, "Governor Conley and Governor Oze have already joined forces with some small warlords and fought a battle near the northern ice cave city."

"What's the result?" Dane asked.

"The two sides are evenly matched. In the first battle, Governor Oze had a slight advantage. The whole battle seems to have just begun, but judging from the fighting situation, it seems that the fight is brutal. I don't think so. It will not be resigned until one party is completely destroyed."

Patience, who was urgently called by Dane to participate in the discussion, interrupted and asked, "Didn't the two sides always restrain themselves in the previous situation? Although there were often some small-scale conflicts, it seems that there is no There has been such a situation where several warlords have joined forces to fight."

"Yes." Chapple nodded, and said: "In the past few months, although small-scale conflicts continued, the number of these conflicts has always been controlled at around a few dozen people, hardly exceeding A confrontation between a hundred people. But this time, the total number of people participating in the battle near Ice Cave City may have exceeded 5,000 people, and more and more warlords were involved in the battle between the two sides. In this war."

Patience sighed, and said: "This is really not a good sign. A month ago, we just fought against Governor Conley's Iron Spike Hill Legion. Fortunately, it was a quick victory. Moreover, the two sides have restrained enough that we did not become the trigger for an all-out war between the two camps. I hope this will be the same this time.”

She was hopeful, but Chapple, who sat next to her, was pessimistic. I just heard him say: "It's probably not easy. The war in Ice Cave City was just a battle between two warlords at the beginning for a small crystal vein in Ice Cave City. Later, in just one week, it spread to The range has rapidly expanded to the entire area around the Ice Cave City. Unlike before, the battle was fought so fast that it was impossible for others to intervene in time. But this time, the incident has fermented so much It has been a long time, the war is still going on, and the situation is still escalating step by step, it is not so easy to calm down."

Dyne asked with a serious face: "Chapple, according to your judgment, do you think that the war in Ice Cave City is really likely to trigger a full-scale military confrontation between the two camps in the future?" ?”

Chapple said: "I think it's very possible."

"Then do you think, according to the current situation in Ice Cave City, how long is it before a real all-out war breaks out?"

Dane must know this very important question. The answer to this question will affect his next series of strategic choices.

If, this time is too short, then Dane will recklessly assemble the army and prepare for the battle; He must conscript enough troops, at least after the blitz at Shawan Port, he must replenish the total of 7,500 troops in the formal legion and garrison legion that he re-formulated, so that he can fight in the future all-out war. Zhong~IndoMTL.com~ has the qualifications to be barely able to strive to become a chess player, instead of being a miserable pawn.

Chapple couldn't give an accurate answer to Dane's question. He thought for a moment, and said: "It's really impossible to judge this. If we look at the development speed of the situation in Ice Cave City in the past week, I'm afraid that in a week or two, Ice Cave City will become a city where the entire Schindler was dragged into the vortex of the war. However, I think that although Oze and Conley intend to wrestle around the Ice Cave City, if they have a certain restraint mentality, the speed may slow down a lot. "

"All the specific estimates will be clear after another week or two. If I have to give a judgment, then I think that the arrival of all-out war will take a month at the earliest. Be optimistic If you go to see it, it may be delayed until the end of the year."

Dain curled his lips and said, "It would be best if it could be delayed until the end of the year... Hey, tell me, although the Ice Cave City is far away, more than two hundred kilometers away from us, is there any way we can affect it? What's the situation over there?"
