In Cave No. 5, more than twenty marines were already holding rifles, guarding the exit of the tunnel.
And in the center of it, Liszt looked at the map with a very serious look on his face.
The surrounding mountains, canyons, mountaintops and forests had been marked on it.
This was a very precise military map.
Beside him, fourteen fully armed marines were already standing beside him, looking at the military map spread on the ground with the same solemn expressions.
They were all whispering to each other, but their expressions became more and more serious. dignified.
And when they looked at the corner of the map, the area marked Prince Rupert, their eyes instantly shrank.
Liszt's eyes were also looking at the port city on the edge of the sea.
He crouched down and leaned forward slightly.
He turned his head and glanced at the team captains around him.
He stretched out his hand and tapped it slowly, and asked lightly.
Said: "How about, if we choose to attack Prince Rupert Port, what is the chance of success?"
His voice was questioning, but also quite firm.
The faces of the surrounding team captains became more and more solemn, but no one took the initiative to answer.
They all looked at the Prince Rupert Port that Liszt was referring to, and felt in their hearts They were calculating silently, but looking at the increasingly gloomy looks on their faces, one could tell that the situation was probably not optimistic.
Tapping the map with his fingers, Liszt also took a deep breath, looked at the captains around him, and said with a very solemn expression: "If this mountainous area is a chessboard, then this port is the queen of the Soviets.
After a pause, his tone was decisive, and he said in a deep voice: "Smashing their plan will buy us at least two months."
Prince Rupert is really important.
Even if they all look at the map.
The importance of this port city can be felt from its layout.
Not only does it connect the Pacific Ocean to the Queen Charlotte Islands outside, but even the Freshwater River on the port side also communicates with several small towns within the Rocky Mountains.
"This is where the Canadians and the Soviets meet."
After clicking on the name above, Liszt seemed a little disappointed that there was no response from him, and his brows slowly wrinkled.
He looked at Karl next to him and said: "Although they are heavily defended, they are the command systems of two countries after all.
In When encountering a momentary attack, we will directly fall into chaos due to inconvenience in communicating with each other, and this is our biggest advantage.”
Karl nodded slightly, his brows also furrowed, but looking at the Prince Rupert Port that Lister pointed to, his eyes slowly shifted, looking at the Queen Charlotte Islands across the Pacific Ocean, and the landings upstream of the river.
Kishan finally gritted his teeth and shook his head at Liszt: "If we choose to attack Prince Rupert, the success rate is really low."
"We have no support.
Even if we capture it, we will only be able to destroy some key points at most."
Everyone seemed to be waiting for Karl to speak.
After his words fell, the other team captains also hesitated slightly for a moment, and still said what they were thinking: "And our number is very small, not to mention that we have to be separated to be responsible for guarding.
There is no way to carry out large-scale operations in this cave base and to modify the interior of the cave.”
The team captains around also nodded.
Even if all the Marines were to attack in full force now, there would only be only 140 people.
Even though they had beaten the Soviets and Canadians with extremely low casualties before, They were caught off guard, but they still couldn't hide the fact that their number was too small.
What's more, even if they guessed, they knew that there was definitely no less than a regiment of troops stationed in Prince Rupert Harbor.
Such an important port, even if they don't have any thoughts, must be carefully guarded by this group of Soviets or Canadians.
After all, the entire coastal area of North America relies almost exclusively on this port for the transportation of materials.
Even on the Mexican battlefield, which involves the main force of the U.S. federal forces, this port also transports materials.
"But our time is running out."
Frowning slightly, Liszt's face became slightly gloomy.
Of course, he could understand what Karl and these team captains were saying.
Because he knew it quite well, but he turned his head and glanced at the still white snow outside the entrance, and slowly gritted his teeth and said: "If we wait until spring, then our troops will be the most direct impact."
Lister's hand slowly stretched out, and he pointed at several points on the military map under him.
He turned to the Marine squadron captains beside him and said in a deep voice: "Prince Rupert in the northwest, Prince Rupert in the north, The town of Terrace, the town of Kitimat to the east, and the town of Hartberry to the southeast will all be key points for the Soviets and Canadians to completely encircle us in the spring.

Even if they send infantry to encircle us, it will be impossible.
It will start from these towns” 'But why must we set our sights on Prince Rupert' Karl's words suddenly interrupted Liszt.
His eyes were solemn, but his eyes slowly extended on the map, his brows became more and more tightly wrinkled, and his tone was a bit serious, and he asked slowly : "Captain Lister, do you have to open the passage to Alaska?"
The rest of the people also looked at the map with great solemnity, and looked at the coastal areas of Alaska and British Columbia spreading from Alaska to Canada, with a hint of surprise on their faces.
As long as the passage to Prince Rupert Port is opened, it is not impossible that the mountainous area where they are located will be able to directly connect to the territory of the United States Commonwealth, and even regain contact with the garrison in the direction of Alaska.
But the reason why everyone looked solemnly was because of this, because even the Soviets knew the importance of this port, otherwise they would not directly interfere in the Canadians' internal affairs and directly send garrison troops to guard it.
With more than a hundred of them, even more than five hundred, they were completely helpless when facing Prince Rupert Port, which had complete fortifications and numerous garrisoned troops.
Of course, Lister had some hopes for the Anchorage Defense Line in Alaska, or in other words, for Old Bunnar, the commander-in-chief of the Anchorage Defense Line, he had some hopes.
If the channel for communication between the two sides can be opened, then he will not need the distant help of the Nevada Air Force Base, and the Anchorage defense line, which is far away and has huge military power, can become his most direct guarantee
