Power and Empire Chapter 1920: The Empire’s Counterattack (4)
The fat man rode on a war horse and looked forward in a mountainous area in the south of Congo. In front is the Palo woodland that must be passed to enter the southern coast of Congo. The dense forest and hills are more than 100 miles long and wide. This is the main terrain. Fort Muya, which has been captured, is the gate. Behind this dense forest and hills is the southern coast of Gangfei.
"Your Majesty," an accompanying book clerk from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hurried up from behind.
"What's the matter?" The fat man turned his head back
The registrar of hurriedly said out of breath, "What is the name of this attack? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not sure for a time, so I came to consult with your Majesty."
"Name?"
The fat man curled his lips, and tapped the fawn leather riding boots with his whip. He glanced at the book of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a bad eye, and muttered to himself, "When did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire" Start paying attention to such flashy things as names?"
"It is a special explanation from Princess Colleen, because this time it is very likely to go to the entire Central European and Baro country, so it is better to need a formal name." The book of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was a little fat, used his sleeve nervously Wiping the sweat beads on his face, his body trembled slightly, and his head was almost lowered to the ground. Under His Majesty Falcon’s eyes that could kill a million people, it was just a clerical bookkeeper who felt his inspiration. Floating in the sky,
name! Hey. . . What a thing!
Who doesn’t know that since His Majesty Falcon’s army was launched, the most annoying thing is the so-called name. Fighting Vikya Kyoto, Swadian, Kujites, and Rudds. The big fist is Wang Qidao, you If you don’t accept it, you’ll be beaten to accept it. This is the "name" your Majesty has always upheld
But now it is Princess Turrit who is fully presiding over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As a Turit woman from a super-famous family in foreign affairs, she cannot sit back and watch the dispensable and embarrassing position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire. The same is also the sword of the empire, how can it be so lacking in edge! The book reporter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs feels that he is caught between the violent majesty and the princess who is expecting foreign affairs. It is in danger of losing his head every minute!
"Well, well, if you have to have a name..." The fat man was silent for a while. It seemed that he didn't want to embarrass this little character. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was indeed ignored by him, and there was almost no sense of existence. It is her own attention that the little witch entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and now she is also an empire, and the importance of foreign affairs is becoming more and more prominent
" I can’t do it like I did before!" The fat man stroked his forehead with his fat fingers and thought for a while and said, "Yeah. I thought about it. There is a name that fits me, and I submit it to the Gangfei Empire. The official document will just call them apostasy, so you can ask for persecutors, right?"
"Yes, obey!" The reporter nodded quickly, cheering in his heart, alas, my head was finally saved! What's the name, it's up to him.
"You publish this name to the entire Central European countries, so that the entire Central European countries know that we used to help the Gangfei people so helplessly, we provided them with iron ore. Weapons, and even a large number of them. War supplies, but they are here to repay us! Is it wrong to ask and persecute such a person?"
Fatty laughed. Although it is a kind of malicious smile. But laughter sounds so natural, well, I'm going to set off. Don't forget what I told you just now. "After speaking, he turned around with the guards cavalry, the horses hoof lifted the dust on the ground, and the black guards followed closely, like black rushing,
This time the empire has a total of 110,000 troops fighting against the southern part of Congo and Africa. The front is divided into two fronts. Sixty thousand of them broke into the border between Congo and Africa a month ago. The garrison and the border town of Baruta, the other The 40,000 elite Nakari Central Army raided Muya Fort, the main road in the south of Congo and Fei a day ago.
Fatty left less than 10,000 troops in the direction of Putao, but adding the troops temporarily recruited by the Duke of Putao, there are also 30,000 people. It was the imperial general Valencia who was ordered to stay behind, and the Shushen reporter returned to Putao and immediately executed Fatty's orders. He released this news in the fastest way. It didn’t take long before the Foreign Affairs Department of Gangfei received this announcement.
"Betrayer!"
The name is really a big thorny jī for a Gangfei who believes to be righteous. Their former emperor died because of the Falcon Empire, and their vast territory was eroded by the Falcon Empire. They abandoned Kyoto because of the Falcon Empire, and discarded their honor. Now they are curled up together and have to carry this on their backs. Notoriety,
is so irritating, some people even threw their glasses to vent their anger, so that the convening conference was also affected by such emotions.
"The goal of the Falcon Empire Army is the southern coast. In this case, we will set up an ambush at the position leading to the coast. With our superior force, we can use multi-point defense to pull the Falcon Army’s attack line. In this way, When the Falcon Emperor’s army removes these strongholds one by one, they will be gradually depleted. At that time, our army will be encircled again and will surely be able to eliminate them." Confident,
Regarding this strategy, Andia, who was just appointed as the commander-in-chief of the southern coast combat force, did not speak. After experiencing the cruel northern war, the famous general of the Congolese Empire has matured a lot, compared to the combat officer Sterling. Said tactics, if the Falcon Emperor is really as expected, attacking these strongholds one by one, then of course it is the best. However, if the Falcon Emperor did not do this, and instead cut off the supply lines and communications of each stronghold, and then went straight to the southern coast, this strategy would be completely useless. And if heavy troops were stationed at these nine strongholds, it would actually weaken the strength of the troops in the South.
Andia was silent for a while, but decided to express this opinion,
"Go straight to the southern coast? Are the Falcons crazy? They rush forward so they are not afraid of being cut in the back... "Combat officer Sterling doesn't believe it
" Don’t forget, most of our southern coast has fallen into the hands of the Falcon Empire! As long as we reach the southern coast, the other party’s logistics supplies don’t need to be considered at all!" Andiya's face was gloomy, fingers clenched together , Said "And I expect the other party will do this 80% as long as they reach the coast of South Africa,
"Then...what should I do?"
The minister muttered to himself that this time the Falcon Empire was divided into two divisions, and it was also forcing the Congolese and Fei Empire to divide its strength into two. Although it is a two-to-one force, the strength of the Falcon Empire has long cast a psychological shadow on Gang Fei. Without three times the strength, Gang Fei will not take the initiative to attack.
"Why don't you deploy a heavy army at one point and wait until the Falcon army approaches, and then fight him to the death. Because the Falcon army came after a long journey, it must be exhausted, and we can wait for work." Sterling proposed another plan
"This looks great!" Marcos also nodded, this one to cooperate with the Strand Navy. The southern forces lost more than 10,000 people in Port Valenya, and in order to prevent the Falcon Empire Army from landing at sea, it had to mobilize 50,000 people from the already limited force, plus the force to deal with Barruta. The force that can be mobilized is less than 80,000, and the coalition forces of the Central European and Baro countries need at least more than ten days to assemble. At that time, the Falcon Empire may have opened the road to the southern coast. .
Just as everyone agreed, someone suddenly said "No, I have a better way!"
A middle-aged man in the uniform of a general stood up on the opposite seat. He was just transferred from the Southern Army to Bezuka as the deputy commander to assist the Duke of Andia, the commander of the southern coast. Fabugales, commander of the Eleventh Step Corps who performed well in Valenya Port,
The cold-faced mountain hunter said, "Master Sterling's combat strategy is very correct. I just want to modify Master Sterling's strategy. Because I can't tolerate the mediocre performance of some cowards!" Fabu Gareth squinted at the silent Duke Andia.
Duke Andyia has a gloomy face, already knowing what he wants to say. Yes, he also saw a major problem with the Falcon Army, and chose silence for some reason.
Fabgareth continued to say, "I don’t know if you adults have noticed it. This time the number of Falcon Emperor ** is almost all out, that is to say, the opponent’s force in the Pu Tau area is very small. We can completely entice it to go deeper and then attack the coast of the Ugly Tau, which is not heavily defended!"
"Hmm..." Everyone's spirits shook slightly, and even the little emperor who didn't understand it stopped breathing for a while and took off the general set. . . . It seems that it can be done. Even Marcos, who has been in battle, is also excited
"As long as we take the general set, then all the situation we have from before to now will be completely changed. One hundred thousand Falcon Emperor ** will become rootless duckweed, homeless orphans!" Fabuga Rais looked excited and waved his hands. He enjoyed the feeling of being watched by all kinds of big people. It took him more than ten years to climb to the position of general. Would it take another ten years to climb into the Imperial Affairs Department? Threshold? No, it’s too long. Today’s Imperial Conference is my own opportunity. As long as I get the appreciation of the adults, everything will be fine
"It looks good, but your opponent is the Vickia Falcon! An emperor's gap, who knows if it is a deadly trap?"
The Duke of Andia’s eyes fell on the cup he hadn’t drunk, and he thought to himself, Fabgareth, the infantry captain stationed in the marginal area,’s gaze is also the target of an infantry captain. So a little bit lacks enough insight into the real strategic confrontation.
The Falcon Empire did not stay behind and defend the general set in two ways.
But does the Falcon Empire need to do this? Think about it calmly and you'll know that to invade the 100,000 Falcons in the south of the country, you only need a quick return. It's like closing two doors violently. At that time, the one who is cut off will be the Gang. Non-military, this is a gambling that looks good, but is actually a waste of it! The chance of success for the Congolese empire is too slim.
"This strategy is great!"
But the ministers who participated in the meeting didn't think much, and the Undersecretary of Finance Count Otsk even called out. He looked very excited. He said that the current coast of Uttar Pradesh has long been different from what it used to be, and it is known as the golden land. If it can be taken down in one fell swoop, it will be of great benefit to the empire’s exhausted finances.
And the Minister of the Interior also expressed his optimism about this. The Congolese Empire, which has just gone through a hard winter, needs a large amount of food to settle the refugees, and the southern part of the Congolese Empire is not a grain-producing area, but it is general. The region is different. It is said that the food traded there is enough for the empire to eat for six months
"But who is going to direct this counterattack? This person not only needs to have enough ability, but also needs to have enough courage," Military Secretary Marcos murmured, and the meeting room suddenly changed. As soon as there was no sound, the people and the air around him immediately seemed to be plunged into a miasma, becoming dignified. Even the ministers who had nothing to do with the military started to breathe. If anyone can succeed this time, then he is the person who contributed the most to this war, even if he did not have so much credit for containing the Falcon army.
The former is like the light of a star, and the latter is like an asteroid, eclipsed in front of the star, and the person who has done the most after the war will surely rise to the top. In fact, as long as Gangfei can regain the general area, it will not only reverse the current unfavorable situation, but will even directly affect the attitude of the inland regions that have just abandoned the alliance and the attitude of the entire Central Europe. The combat commander this time will be a stepping stone to the supreme power in the future. The ministers were thinking at the same time, how can such a position be handed over?
"A group of ignorant and fearless people!"
The Duke of Andia rubbed his temples with his fingers, and thought with irritation that everyone was blinded by beautiful visions. They were like stupid hunters who just saw a forest and rushed to calculate the blackness hidden in How much is the value of mink fur, in fact, they may not be able to hunt these sables at all! Will be swallowed by the danger of the forest.
In terms of pure strategy alone, this method is not completely impossible to try, but it is absolutely impossible in the current situation.
The reason is very simple, because of the tactics of counterattack after containment. It requires sacrifices, and a highly unified military organization is needed to achieve success. The current Congolese Army cannot do this. The handling of the 1.12 incident has caused dissatisfaction among many officers in the southern army. The Battle of Valenya forcibly ordered the southern army to be sent to death to drag the Falcon Imperial Navy, which also caused the army to comment on the incompetence of the upper-level command. Now that this kind of combat plan is put forward, it is simply to put the Southern Army on the fire, and I can’t wait to put it to death and then hurry up!
The attack of the Falcon Army is so sharp that everyone can see, all arrows are sent down, and the mountains must bow their heads.
Fort Muya, a town with 10,000 people stationed there, did not hold on for a day. Although the troops advancing to the south coast were only 40,000, according to the current combat power ratio, at least twice as much force was required. 8 With a strength of ten thousand people, no matter which unit was chosen as the victim of the Falcon Army's advance, it would be full of complaints.
risking all the sacrifices to accomplish the immortal feats of others, who wants to do such a thing? This kind of strong suffocating suspicion will only make the imperial troops that have penetrated into the general set into a situation of isolation and helplessness. The Duke of Andia raised objections at the meeting, but was criticized by the ministers as being jealous and jealous, not thinking about making progress. I was embarrassed by the Falcon Emperor’s team. "When the empire was embarrassed, the great talent just regained his position and behaved like this. It really shouldn’t be!" The subduke opened his mouth, and finally chose to be silent,
"I just hope that fewer troops can be sent to fight back against General Tau!"
Duke Andia can only think like this, he began to feel the feeling of Rubinsack who was opposed by him at the beginning,
When everyone is blind, only oneself is sober and unintelligible persistence. It requires not only courage, but also the consciousness of ruin and fame. Gang Fei Chao Tang’s desire for war victory is more than that. My own ability, since moving to Beijing to the present, for a whole year, the entire empire has been shrouded in the shadow of failure. This depressed mood can be seen in any street in Gangfei, and the streets are filled with recruited soldiers. Before the announcement, it was not the young people standing in full swing, but the rags, the refugees, and the people who became soldiers with complaints about the country, and the country was squandering the loyalty of the soldiers to the country!
Even I have learned to compromise!
"Let's do it!" The little emperor Gangfei made a decision at Marcos's sign. Although he was still young, his sky-blue eyes flashed with excitement. The Gangfei Empire countered the Northern Falcon. , Isn’t this my dream? At the meeting, combat troops were selected,
is not selected by the 11th Step Corps of the most capable 1st Corps in the Southern Army and Fabugales, who is the commander of this time,
The ministers also took the opportunity to squeeze in a lot of their own direct troops~IndoMTL.com~ which led to the expansion of the general army from the planned 30,000 to 50,000, 35,000 infantry. , The cavalry of 15,000 men, it can be said that they are all the hard-fought elite troops from the non-conformist forces.
Countless military flags are grinning on the ceiling of the square on the streets of Besuka. On the huge square in front of the square, the army is densely packed with troops that are about to be inspected, and rows of handsome high battles Horses, thousands of young soldiers holding various banners of glory are full of excitement. Behind them, there is an endless army of Gangfei Infantry Corps with dark blue armor.
At the top of the queue is an elite guard composed of the Emperor's Guards in uniforms with gold rims. They are generally a head taller than ordinary soldiers, and most of their armors are heavy and tight. The heavy armor, the neat queue, the oppressive force formed silently, stood in front of the team that was about to be reviewed, and stood out from the crowd.
Looking at the huge military faces passing by in front of him, Andiya's face was gloomy, as if dripping water, just hit it. The counterattack is not a grand celebration, and I don’t know who’s suggesting it. The ceremony was so solemn, in the words of the ministers, "This is an opportunity to show the strong power of the empire and restore the people’s confidence in the country. By the way, it also issues a warning to those foreign enemies who covet the empire."
"It's like playing war as a child's play!" Andya shook his head inwardly.
