The flames in the fireplace danced, bringing a rare warmth to this bedroom on a cold night.Thranduy had taken off his military uniform and dressed in civilian clothes, and stood by the window that was half-hidden by the velvet curtains, looking out at the barracks and lost his thoughts.There was a "squeak" and the door opened.Kazare?
Han Fei held a plate with two glasses of liquid on it, and walked cautiously to Thranduil's side."
Commander Thrandui, I have limited conditions here, and I have wronged you!"
Khazaré handed the two glasses of liquid he was holding in his hand, presumably some kind of juice, to Serranduil."
Grand Commander Kazaré, you should know that we forest elves love and enjoy nature, but it doesn't mean that we are willing to be extravagant and indulgent in pleasure, so this ........."
Serranduyi pointed his finger at the emerald green juice in the glass in front of him, and motioned to Kazaré, drinking this thing at night is too luxurious for now!"
Commander Seran Dui, these days you have come to inspect our front army, working day and night, hard enough, today I went down to the army to observe the daily training of the soldiers, this juice I bought out of my own pocket to relieve your fatigue, not with public funds!"
Kazaray handed a glass of juice to Serranduil, and when Thranduil had taken it, he picked up another glass himself."
Thank you then!"
With that, Thranduy raised his glass and took a sip of the emerald green juice in the cup."
To be honest, I'm not optimistic about the outcome of the upcoming defensive battle!"
With a cup in his hand, Thranduy turned to the window again, looking out at the overlapping barracks.Outside the window, bonfires are dotted between the barracks, and the soldiers on patrol carry lighting stone chandeliers and shuttle through them.There is not much time left for these lives that can still be seen and can still be enjoyed, and when the blue moon rises, they will probably sleep forever in blood-stained armor!
Before the New Year, Thranduy set out from his headquarters in the Ninth Theater of Operations and went to the plain of Aracir, which was about to become a battlefield, and inspected the preparations of the front army for the upcoming war, accompanied by the Grand Commander of Qazare.For half a month, Thranduy went to the Efron Corps and Wang Junchong's Corps to meet with the commanders of the two corps.and investigated the various matters of the two corps one by one.Of course, Seran Dui also went deep into the ranks of the officers and soldiers to understand their thoughts, observe their mental outlook, check their weapons and equipment, understand their provisions, and so on.But the more Thranduil saw it, the colder it became, for the officers and soldiers swore in front of him and shouted their slogans loudly.But Thranduy could still see the fear in the dodging eyes on the faces that had lost their courage and determination.Every time Thranduil inspected a troop, he even calculated in his heart how many soldiers would flee when they saw the Black Riemans when they saw the Black Rieman, and how many soldiers would be swept into pulp by the swarm of sparkling blades as they shivered to meet the enemy.Cowardly without a fight, the balance of victory seems to have tipped to the side of its opponent!"
Ahem........."
Gazare sighed, "Actually, I have doubts that we can keep it for so many years!"
”"Commander Thranduil, I won't tell you the truth," said Khazaré, placing the cup in his hand on the windowsill, and then said to the other with some anger, "I wonder how the staff officers of the Military Council came up with such a plan.It's just whimsical, no, it's just unrealistic fantasies!
”"Since that time we have returned to the front after our meeting in Niah, I have immediately set it up according to the orders given by the meeting, but I realized that the plan of a fortress and a fortress, a small fortress and a large fortress is simply as difficult as rebuilding a new plain.""
First of all, let's say that there is not enough manpower, and I first issued a compulsory mobilization order for the entire plain in the name of the front army.As a result, a large number of people of all ethnic groups began to flee, because no one could understand the rule that they were not allowed to flee, and even if the people did not know about the plans of the high-level, they also knew that they would either be killed by the Black Rieman or forcibly conscripted into the army, either as civilian husbands, or directly as cannon fodder and sent to the battlefield to be killed.In this way, they will definitely do everything possible to flee to the Colony garrison, and as a result, I will use a large number of troops to capture the people of all ethnic groups who are trying to flee, and I will also capture them one by one, and under the command of magistrates at all levels, I will continue to build all kinds of fortresses and fortresses!
”"When it comes to the construction of those fortresses and fortresses, not to mention the lack of manpower, what about the materials?
What about engineering standards?
Is it enough for a few villagers to build dozens of bricks?
The village should be connected to the village, and the village should be connected to the town, and the good transportation arteries should be dug everywhere.The guidance of the master dwarven craftsmen that the local officials received was also limited, because in such a large place as the plains of Elasir, how useful could there be that there were so many master dwarven craftsmen?
Without guidance, local officials at all levels can only forcibly let the people of all ethnic groups who have organized themselves dig everywhere!
”"Commander Thranduil, the recruits who have come to our front from Colony and from the rear, some of them still need to support the ranks of the fortresses and fortresses that are being built, which reduces their training time.It looks like a war is about to start, but many recruits have not even had a few weapons, and they have not even done the most basic strength training, once they are on the battlefield, even if they can get close to the enemy with weapons, they will not even be able to break the skin of the Black Riemann. ”"When I made this plan, I didn't think that the project was huge, and there were nearly 10,000 large, medium and small cities in the entire Elasir Plain, and under it, there were countless towns and villages.To make it all together at the expense of manpower, that's tens of billions of people!
I can even imagine what the history books of later generations will say about me!
If only we could have history!
”"It's not unrealistic, but what can you and I do, the meaning of Nia is very clear, that is, to let the entire Elasir Plain slow down the attack of the Black Riemans, at least until the current group of high-ranking people enjoy their lives and die, the best is to keep the Black Riemans as far away from them as possible.""
Unfortunately, we have become the executors, and we are the executors with a high probability of failure, because according to the judgment of the higher-ups, the Irasil Plains will eventually be lost, and our goal is to put it bluntly, to hold out for as long as Nia can last.And the end for you and me is predictable!
”Thrandui said helplessly, and at last, closed his eyes.Struggling alone seems to be no different from struggling with hundreds of millions of people in today's situation.The final forces and policies have been pushed forward, but the future is still like the dark night sky, and people can't see a little light.Since it's all darkness when you open your eyes and close your eyes, will you be far from being completely engulfed?
The flames in the fireplace of the "pop ......" sparked, and the fine wood gave life to the dancing flames.But the owner of the fireplace was silent at this moment, like a lifeless statue.Outside the barracks, a patrol of officers and soldiers was checking on a soldier who had run out of the barracks and was asking him for his password for tonight.After some conversation, when it was learned that the soldier had slipped out of the barracks to relieve him, he let him go.The sound of their words between them caused Thranduil to open his eyes again, and he raised the cup in his hand and took a sip of the juice in the cup, and asked Khazaré, "I heard that your nephew is in the Efron Regiment?"
”"Yes, Commander Serranduil, he is in the Seventy-fifth Army of the Twelfth Army of the Efron Corps, a division governor, with the rank of General Red Star."
Khazaré replied to Thrandui."
At a young age, he is already a Red Star General, and he is young and promising!""
Commander Thranduil, I don't think my nephew would want to hear this kind of compliment, because this damned war, damn the Black Riemann!""
Your nephew's team is ........."
"Uh......"
Kazare hesitated slightly, and replied: "That division of his has been incorporated into the mobile unit of the corps, and it does not need to be divided into the ground like other troops!"
”According to the previous strategic plan, the troops of the entire Elasir Front would be divided into two modes of battle in wartime.One is the garrison that fights with the Black Riemans for every inch of land in every city and town.One is to mobilize troops in great depth on the periphery and inside to disperse the forces of the Black Riemans and to contain and harass the opposing team.Mobile troops, on the other hand, can flexibly maneuver with changes in the enemy's situation, and as long as they can run, they can run fast enough.The vast plains of Aracil will allow the mobile troops to survive for the time being until they are completely fallen.However, the team that has been incorporated into the guard unit cannot leave the relevant territory once it has entered the reserved position, and must defend the territory and block the Black Riemans unless all of them are killed, or they risk going to court martial as deserters.As the commander of the front, Kazaré's intention to place his nephew in this way is self-evident.Of course, Thranduil could see it, and so could the other generals and commanders of the Efron corps."
After the start of the war, the Efron Corps may be the first point of attack, because the Dambert Peak there is the highest point in the entire Aylassier Plain, and the Black Riemans will definitely be the first to attack that area.Once they conquer the area associated with Dambert, they will be able to control the upper reaches of the Donne, and thus descend the river, cutting the Aracer Plain in two. ”"Therefore, for the Efron Corps, we should pay more attention and remind them, and at the same time, we should give priority to the supply of supplementary personnel and materials."
Thrandui instructed Kazaré."
Understood, Commander Thranduil, I've been watching!"
Khazaré replied."
I don't know what happened to Colony, but they were going to build a moat in the southern part of the Gulf of Agelli, which would go all the way to Florsanger.Extends into the interior of the Isa Marshes.The amount of work is not smaller than ours!
”Serlanduil said softly with the juice in his hand.
