MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 511 Choice of walking and war
The 51st chapter of the choice of walking and war
"...I think we should abandon the kingdom of Bolivia and immediately retreat. This time we have two army regiments in the self-governing military region, not to help the kingdom to conquer the entire eastern region, but to reinforce the kingdom to lift the eastern region. The invasion of the kingdom by the national alliance. Now that we have done our best to destroy the war, we have destroyed two principalities, regained the new occupied land, and forced the coalition forces to withdraw from the kingdom.
For the purpose of sending troops from our self-governing military region, we have overfulfilled our mission. We have made the Hicks Kingdom no longer a foothold in the eastern region, destroying the Neptune Fleet and making the Hicks Kingdom no longer able to intervene in the Eastern Region. Moreover, we also attacked the city of Bolivia, and believe that the attack on the Nasri kingdom will make it impossible to recover in the next few decades. So I think we have already taken advantage of it, and we should accept it if we are good. ”
This is the speech of General Berklin at the Thunder Army's decision-making meeting. His views represent the opinions of many soldiers. Today, the Thunder Legion occupies the kingdom of the city of Bolivia, facing the crisis of the coalition forces in the five northeastern county of the Nasri kingdom and the seven southwestern seven counties. The first time Berklin had a quick leg was to run fast. At the very least, he would bring back all the seized spoils. It was a huge amount of astronomical wealth, and he could not stay here cheaper.... ..
However, General Diavid was resolutely opposed to this unsuccessful behavior. He represented another part of the Thunder Army's officers and men who were extremely superstitious about their own power. What about the enemy? What if the force exceeds the Thunder Legion by ten times? Isn't it a problem that can be solved by opening ten shots per person? There is no need to run at all, and it feels shameful to say it...
Claude couldn’t help but laughed and was troubled by the quarrel between his two younger brothers. Berklin is not a timid battle, otherwise he will not be alone in the attack to capture the kingdom of Polivia. He just likes to play a sure battle, and likes to get the biggest victory with the least price. Therefore, in his view, the Nasri Kingdom was so tossed by the Thunder Corps that it could not be turned over. The Thunder Legion should be retired and returned to the new occupation with a rich harvest.
And Diavid is the other extreme, too superstitious to the Thunder Legion's combat power, and believes that the world is invincible. This can be seen from the fact that he led more than 10,000 people in the main field of two light horses and dared to attack the enemy's 100,000 army. No matter what the three seven seventy-one. The result is still a big win, and its own casualties and its slightness. Who is this reasonable? Therefore, when I heard the enemy’s army press the border, the part of the officers headed by him seemed to be sending the war to the door. How can there be the reason for not running first?
With an enemy ten, if this war wins, it can be named in the annals of history. The main warring faction headed by General Diavid is all geared up, fearing that the enemy will not come. They believe that there is no enemy that can't be destroyed in front of the Thunder Legion. This can be concluded from the famous saying that they can solve all the problems by opening ten shots per person. They did not put these more than 700,000 enemy troops in their eyes...
In fact, Claude is also very contradictory. It is a war. Two thoughts have been hovering and pondering in my mind. Compared with the one-of-a-kind Diavid and the Belklin who wanted to go, he stood higher, looked farther and considered more carefully.
If, as Belklin advocates, he will take it first, and then he will go first. This means that the Thunder Legion will give up the city of Polivia and the surrounding areas that have been in their hands, and give up. At the same time, it gave up almost the best time to annihilate the Nasri Kingdom, the deadly enemy of the Ovilas Kingdom, which Claude did not want to see.
The real source of turmoil and warfare in the eastern part of the Faurea continent lies in the dominance of the eastern region that the Kingdom of Ovilas and the Kingdom of Nasri compete for. Only the next one can make the eastern region prosper. Otherwise, every two or three decades, the two countries will inevitably break out of war. In the past 100 years, there have been five major wars in the two countries. The last two wars have brought in all the countries in the eastern region, and the two countries have become deadly enemy countries.
Claude is not willing to give up this opportunity. This is his selfishness, because he is very clear that as long as the Nasri kingdom is destroyed, he will gain supreme prestige in the kingdom of Ovilas. Not to mention the old-fashioned aristocratic family forces still have no qualifications to tell him, that is, Frederick I, but also to see his face to speak, and the benefits he can get are self-evident.
In addition, it is not a simple matter to say that it is as far as Berklin advocates. It is not more than 50 million gold krona. It is not said that it can be taken away. Unless all the soldiers of the Thunder Army are dismissed as infantry, the mounts will be vacated for pulling the spoils, otherwise they will not take all the seizures.
Of course, the trophy can also be awarded first, but this is contrary to the military regulations of the autonomous leading region. The biggest problem is that if each soldier carries the spoils of those basins and cans, how much combat power can they maintain? Claude will not make such a stupid decision to ruin martial arts, and such a precedent will have a very bad impact on the discipline and good style of the Legionnaires...
In addition, more than 100,000 prisoners and more than 200,000 prisoner families in Wangcheng are also unable to deal with the problem. These are the human resources that Claude is prepared to use to enrich the overseas self-governing Loch Mountain State, because the temporary Wang Ting and Frederick I have rejected the request of overseas self-governors to continue to recruit immigrants from the Kingdom. And strictly guard against death, no one has any relative relationship with the overseas self-governing leader is not allowed to become an immigrant, even the Stone Corps landing in Bailu City to the present, the number of immigrants to overseas self-governing leaders is less than a thousand.
If the Thunder Army wants to abandon the kingdom of Bolivia, it will not be able to take all the prisoners and the captives. It can only take away a small number of higher-identity prisoners, such as some members of the Nasri royal family and the royal family. . If you want to take away all the prisoners, how much power can an army that escorts more than 300,000 prisoners and their families, while also escorting huge amounts of property? Not to mention the interception of the enemy, that is, a chaos inside and a battle on the road will bring great losses to the Thunder Army...
Therefore, it is impossible to take away all the prisoners and their families, but the release of it makes Claude very reluctant. These captives and their families are the loyalty of the Nasri kingdom. Don't expect the Thunder Legion to give them freedom to let them be grateful to the Thunder Legion, knowing that their property was checked by the Thunder Legion. Their freedom is equal to the fact that they are supporting more enemy forces and grassroots officers with battlefields and military experience. This means that the Thunder Corps will once again be in a dilemma, and Wangcheng and the surrounding towns and regions will once again lose control.
Claude believes that if the senior officers who asked the Legion how to deal with these prisoners and their families, then the answer must be only one kill. Since you can't release it, you can kill it and clean it up. The Thunder Legion can also be light or easy to turn in. But Claude didn't want to carry such a black pot, because if he did, he would also be recorded in the annals of history, becoming a veritable **** butcher.
The two inspections of the royal city of Bolivia and the surrounding towns, although the elimination of armed weapons armed with resistance, but the casualties of more than 100,000 people and rebels have made Claude a Bolivian butcher. Although Claude did not kill any town resident himself, it was because of his order that the butcher’s title was worn on his head.
But this is understandable, and Claude does not care about this title. The officers and men of the Thunder Legion are all those who resist the militants. They must not stand because they are old people and children, or women, and they will not be able to cut them. As long as they are enemies, there are no old and weak women and children, and they are all in the ranks of elimination. The urban residents who did not resist, the soldiers of the Thunder Legion did not invade them, did not plunder their property, and did not ridicule their wives and daughters. Such a military discipline is already very unique and solemn in this era.
Destroying the enemy on the battlefield can be justified, but if the unarmed captives start, then Claude will soon be famous throughout the mainland, still notorious, and the misfortune to the children of the family. The warfare of the mainland of France is a battle for captives. It is good to replace each other or to redeem after the end of the war. The bad thing is that some countries will take prisoners as slaves for trading, or impose hard labor, but no country will blatantly detain prisoners.
Claude is preparing to transport these captives and captive families to the mountainous state of the overseas self-governing lord, let them mine for a living. This is normal operation, and no one can make irresponsible remarks. However, if you turn a blind eye to the more than 300,000 prisoners and their families, they will be condemned by the countries of the French mainland and the jealousy of the righteous. Even in overseas self-governing leaders, Claude will also fall prey. No one will like a **** butcher who ordered the killing of captives and innocent families...
Claude didn't want to stand on the cusp of such a cusp, and the senior officers under his command said that they were killed because they were in different positions. They only need to consider the situation of the Thunder Legion, what is the most beneficial to the Thunder Legion, do not need to consider the views of others and the consequences of slaughtering prisoners and their families. As for the decision to take the order is Claude, this black pot is naturally backed by Claude.
Killing can't kill, can't let go, the best solution is that the Thunder Legion defeated these more than 700,000 enemy troops who approached the kingdom of Bolivia, completely destroying the Nasri kingdom. This is a great joy, and the Thunder Legion has plenty of time to transport huge amounts of property and prisoners to overseas self-governing territories. Just thinking very well, can you achieve Claude's own grasp and no...
Diavid’s strategy is to say no matter how many enemies there are. Claude can't be as arrogant as he is, knowing that the enemy's more than 700,000 troops are not all as incompetent as the 18th standing army of the Nasri Kingdom. At least the more than 400,000 people in the seven southwestern provinces have returned from the native of the Ovilas Kingdom. They have a wealth of combat experience. In Claude’s view, these more than 400,000 enemy troops are real. Strong enemies, their combat power is similar to the Guards of the Kingdom of Ovilas.
Although the more than 400,000 enemy troops were defeated by the Meteorite Army in Anbrze County, it was in the kingdom, they were expeditionary and their war was not strong. Coupled with the demise of the two duchys, and the Rocket Corps using new artillery and long rockets to beat them by surprise, this made them suffer a big defeat. However, they were very safe in the process of evacuating the kingdom of the kingdom. They even ate the Red Dragon Army in a small battle in the Ibnistor Plains, forcing the three major legions of the kingdom to follow up with them. , gift out of the country.
Although the Rocks Corps received a great victory in Ambry County, they also consumed half of the ammunition reserves. If the coalition army can find this, it only needs to constantly launch an attack, entangle the Stone Corps, and take advantage of the strength of the force. It only needs to pay the cost of 20,000 10,000 horses to make the Rocket Corps fall into the ammunition. The trouble of consuming empty space, even unable to hold the county of Ambry.
Fortunately, the coalition forces did not understand this, they were frightened by the powerful strength of the Rock Corps and the power of new weapons. The two Principalities that were uploaded were destroyed, the enclave of the Hicks Kingdom was recovered, and the kingdom of the Kingdom of Bolivia in the Kingdom of Nasri was also captured by the Thunder Legion, causing the Alliance Army to withdraw its troops and return to the Nasri Kingdom. In order to avoid the truncation of the road, their army of more than 400,000 troops was finally trapped in the kingdom of Ovilas.
If the kingdom’s Guards, the Red Dragon Army and the Griffin Army can always follow behind the more than 400,000 Alliance troops, and give more than 400,000 horses some distraction, then Claude will not swear. Wang Ting’s veteran aristocratic family forces and the senior officers of the Kingdom’s Army Department were shameless.
Who can think of the three major corps of the kingdom? After the squad sent the Alliance troops out of the country, the Guards Corps revolved around the king, leaving the Red Dragon Army and the Griffin Legion to build a defensive front in the frontier county, saying that it was to defend the Alliance army to make a comeback.... ..
What is this? Can't you cross the enemy to cross the border? The enemy trampled on more than half of the territory of the kingdom of Ovilas. Now the three major legions of the kingdom have been evacuated, but they have not even dared to pursue the cross-border. They have set their sights on the situation in which the Thunder Legion is trapped in the enemy army.
Claude is very clear in his heart, and it is like the wish of the squadrons in Wang Tingli. They want the Thunder Army to fight alone. Whether it is victory or defeat, they will suffer heavy casualties. Not only has it reduced the powerful combat power of overseas self-governing leaders, but it has also reduced the right of discourse of overseas self-governing leaders in Wang Tingli.
But if you don't turn into the battle, Claude believes that after the Thunder's retreat, Wang Ting, the **** bastards, will have a large pot of sewage pouring over, and what timid battles will be made, and the crime of seeing the enemy will fall on themselves and the Thunder Legion. On the head of the officers and men. It is even possible to fabricate what if the Thunder Legion can stand still, the three kingdoms of the kingdom will follow in and out, bloom on all sides, encircle the enemy and annihilate all the coalition forces to annihilate the Nasri kingdom to win the final victory. ......
There are no enemies behind the tail, and the Alliance Army of more than 400,000 horses is striding forward to the kingdom of Bolivia. According to their itinerary, it only takes more than half a month to reach the area under the jurisdiction of Wangcheng. It can be said that the time left for Claude to consider is not much, it is the battle must be made within these few days to make a decision.
It is only curious that Claude is curious that the more than 400,000 coalition troops from the seven southwestern counties are approaching the king, while the more than 300,000 horses in the five northeastern counties have no movement. They stayed at the station, neither continued to build defensive facilities and positions, nor did they open up to join the coalition forces from the southwest. Claude had to order the capture operation to try to find out what the enemy was doing.
The good news is that the Ocean Cruise Fleet once again escorted a large number of transport ships to the Falokec Harbour. Six local garrisons from overseas self-governing territories have landed on the shores. They will be stationed in the strategically important towns of the two ruined Principalities. Maintain order and security in the place.
At the same time, the transport ship also transported a large amount of ammunition. General Albert was gathering the troops directly under the Thunder Army headquarters to **** the ammunition to the royal city of Bolivia, but it took more than 20 days to arrive.
The troops directly under the Thunder Army’s headquarters are also an independent field team and four logistics battalions. Together with those logistics and administrative officers, the medical department and other support personnel, there are more than 15,000 people. However, the large quantities of ammunition they transported made Crowder finally have a little confidence in holding the king. But before waiting for their arrival of General Albert, what Claude needs to consider is whether to take the initiative to delay the delay of the more than 400,000 Alliance troops...
Another good news is that the Yanshi Legion has left the capital of the whole army and is preparing to cross the Odin Mountains to reinforce. But they are infantry, not a light squad of the Thunder Corps. It is expected that it will take a month and a half to reach the kingdom of Bolivia. General Bolognic and General Beechklin sent a letter to the eagle, hoping that Claude could hold on until they arrived...
Needless to say, this time I wanted to go and I couldn't walk anymore. Claude decided to let Berklin's first division take the initiative to delay the trip of the Alliance Army. At the very least, it was necessary to delay the shipment of ammunition to General Albert. To the king city. Only the first division had not attacked, and Claude got an unexpected news.
"What? The three corps of the Alliance Army Nasri Kingdom raised the flag of Prince Vedario, and the enemy did not enter the kingdom of Bolivia, but stayed in the county of Giovilau, where they were stationed and Start building defense facilities?"
Claude and Berklin, Diavid's two younger brothers face each other, and no one knows what the madness of the more than 400,000 coalition forces is, and suddenly stays in the middle of the road. However, it was not surprising that the last escaping Prince Vedalio appeared in the Alliance Army. The accident was that he would get the support of the three Nasri Kingdom standing corps so quickly...
