Many people have evaluated Lieutenant General Stov, thinking that this guy has no skills other than flattering him. However, such a person is an absolute confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince.
When he was in the capital, no matter how flattering this guy was, he could only accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to fool around. But now His Highness the Crown Prince has nearly 600,000 troops under his command, and a reserve force of 400,000 troops. If anything goes wrong.
, which is very likely to cause very heavy losses to everyone.
Just like what this guy said just now, if nearly 100,000 people are really gathered to fight, it will very likely expand the battle, and these people may not be able to capture the position of the suppressing army. Others don't know
Marshal Barak is very clear about the combat effectiveness of the suppressing army. If we want to kill the nearly 30,000 suppressing soldiers, we must mobilize at least 200,000 troops.
"Lieutenant General Stov said it right. We have an absolute advantage in terms of troop deployment, so I think we should make a decisive decision and order the surrounding troops to encircle them immediately. It will only take half a month at most. This group has crossed the border.
The army is the meat in our mouths."
His Royal Highness the Prince nodded proudly, as if he saw victory now. If he can really get his wish, then he will be able to show his face in the entire Rakshasa Empire. To be more precise, it should be shown in the whole world.
, Nowadays, all the major powers around the world have a kind of fear towards the suppressing armies. If they suffer a loss at their own hands, not to mention how much they will lose face, and the whole world will pay attention.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and mighty..."
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince has already decided on this matter, although some people think it is a bit inappropriate, they dare not express their opinions. These people are already ready to flatter him.
The eastern region of the Tsarist Empire was originally in decay, and there were not many useful people in it. After His Royal Highness the Prince came, many useful people were replaced. They themselves accounted for about 15%, but because His Highness the Prince liked
The proportion of flatterers has now dropped to 5%.
Ninety percent of the people in the entire region live by their mouths, and the remaining people are squeezed to the point where there is no room for survival. How can such an army remain undefeated?
"I don't think this is appropriate."
Marshal Barak hesitated again and again, and finally said this. Marshal Barak belongs to the last five percent. He has been promoted all his life based on his military exploits, and at the same time he has also brought great influence to the Daqian Empire.
There was a big disaster, and the war he commanded plundered a lot of resources from the Daqian Empire, which is why he is where he is today.
Alexey frowned. He always paid attention to the old marshal's face. If there was any dispute between the two sides, Alexey would choose to give in. This was also the intention of the Emperor of the Rakshasa Empire, but now you also
Don't go too far. Everyone says that my plan is better. Do you have to stand up and gain your existence?
"What do you think, Marshal?"
Although the crown prince is relatively dissatisfied, he still has to show his generosity. Otherwise, how will he control the entire empire in the future?
"I believe that it is impossible for us to recover our position with our existing forces, and it is better to retreat to the second defensive position. If we have sufficient mobilization capabilities, then we can completely encircle them, but we cannot do it now.
It turns out that the existing troops are no match for them. If they continue to attack, it is very likely that the gap will continue to expand."
Marshal Barak spoke without any dignity. He was telling the truth. Many people present nodded. They also knew what the situation was like on their side. There was no way their combat effectiveness could be compared with that of the suppressing army. We relied on our gathering.
There is no way that the 100,000 people who got up can take back their position.
Some local officers did not say anything. They knew what was going on with the Rakshasa Empire's army. According to the Rakshasa Empire's army establishment, an infantry division should have about 12,000 people. But are their troops now fully equipped?
?
The answer is no. Generally speaking, it is good to have eight or nine thousand people. Most of them only have about seven thousand people. According to this number, if they are gathered together, their total number will only be more than fifty thousand.
Facing the 30,000 suppressing troops with high morale, they have no advantage at all, and may even be completely wiped out by the suppressing troops. Once we get to that point, we will not lose a small piece of ground.
, it is very likely that hundreds of kilometers of positions were all lost.
"Your Majesty the Marshal is really a generous man. In just one sentence, he asked us to give up the first line of defense. I wonder if Your Excellency the Marshal knows the current financial situation of the empire. If we give up the first line of defense, it will mean thousands of dollars in losses."
Ten thousand silver coins were wasted."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say yes or no, and immediately slapped Marshal Barak with a big hat. You are wantonly wasting the empire's reserves.
"Your Highness, I know that doing this will cost us a lot, but if we don't do this, once the gap in the first line of defense widens, the suppressing troops on the Xiongnu grassland will rush over like a pack of wolves.
At that time, more and more of our positions will be breached, and the first line of defense will still be unable to be maintained. Even on the position of the 11th Division, their troops are likely to rush to the vicinity of the second line of defense. Our main
The defense line is also the second line of defense, but it cost us 40 million silver coins."
If it were another senior officer, he would have shut his mouth long ago after hearing His Highness the Crown Prince say this. However, Marshal Barak would never allow such a thing to happen. He must let His Highness the Crown Prince understand that now
Now at this time, you have to learn how to cut off the wrists of a strong man.
"Are you saying that if their army advances near the second line of defense, our second line of defense will not be able to hold it?"
Alexey's voice was very cold. Both lines of defense were built under his auspices, but the first line of defense was a very simple line of defense. It would not be a heartache for the Rakshasa Empire if it was thrown away, but
The second line of defense is completely different. All kinds of fortifications are fully constructed. In Alexei's eyes, this place is like a great steel wall... This chapter has been completed!
