In the territory of Susus, a large-scale army is gathering. Susus I has made up his mind to help Binghan I win this war.
He mobilized his most capable 1st Army Group and strengthened a large number of heavy weapons and equipment, trying to piece together a force that looked as powerful as possible.
This army has 2 armored divisions, each of which is equipped with a full 500 tanks. Judging from this number alone, they are already equipped with more tanks than the Tang Army's armored divisions.
In addition, in order to support these two armored divisions, Susas also equipped this group army with 4 mechanized infantry divisions. These units are also equipped with a large number of automobiles and armored vehicles, and their mobility is quite good.
Learning from the experience and lessons of the Ice Empire, Susus I also strengthened as many anti-aircraft weapons as possible for this army group, from large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery to small-caliber self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.
In his opinion, even if such a force could not defeat the Tang Army, it could at least confront the Tang Army head-on. So he confidently submitted a transit application to the elves.
After all, there is the vast Yangmu Empire between Susas and the Ice Empire. If such a large force wants to go north, it must obtain the consent of the elves.
But this process did not go smoothly, because there was some not-so-good news from the elves: the 2nd and 3rd armies of the Poplar Empire had been severely damaged, and the transportation lines of the Ice Empire were close to being paralyzed.
In this case, the difficulty of the heavily armored army heading north became very obvious: there was no problem passing through the territory of the elves, but after continuing northward and entering the Ice Empire, their supplies could not be guaranteed at all.
Even if the Sussus Empire is willing to provide its own supplies, the transportation capacity within the Ice Empire is no longer able to send these supplies to the front line.
The logistical supply problems that plagued the Tang Empire are now also plaguing the Allied Forces. However, the Tang Empire's side is a natural barrier that can be solved. The problems on the Allied Forces' side are artificially created by the Datang Empire's air force bombings.
The supply difficulties on the Tang Army's side will be solved soon as the repairs of Yongdong Port are gradually completed, but the supply difficulties on the Allied Forces' side are much more complicated.
As the supply of the Tang Army improved, the destructive power of the Tang Army's air force skyrocketed. Under such circumstances, how much of the Ice Empire's transportation lines could be preserved was a big question mark.
In fact, until today, the Tang Army has not mobilized its strategic bomber force to carry out strategic bombing against the Ice Empire. This is why the Ice Empire has been able to maintain its own military production to this day.
The Tang army did not devote energy to bombing the large industrial cities of the dwarves, nor did they destroy these targets, so the dwarves could barely maintain their own industrial production.
As of now, the dwarves are still able to produce at least 10 tanks of various models every day, which is actually not a small number.
You know, based on this calculation, the Ice Empire can supply more than 300 tanks to the front line in one month, which can be said to be quite high.
This is also the reason why the dwarves have always dared to launch attacks regardless of the cost: their follow-up supplements are quite timely, but it just takes some time to send them to the front line.
But everything needs to be transported to the front line, and the pressure on roads is increasing unprecedentedly. With the continuous destruction of the Tang Army's tactical air force, the transportation lines in the central and northern regions of the Ice Empire have actually been blocked.
Therefore, when the Susas Empire made a request to send its heavily armed army northward, the so-called general headquarters of the coalition sent a reply that made Susas I dumbfounded: it hoped that Susas would send some light troops to go north.
In the palace hall of the imperial capital of the Susas Empire, a group of ministers were cursing the streets with a reply from the Ice Empire. A minister was tapping the message paper while complaining to the ugly-looking Susas I: "Your Majesty! This, this is not what you want.
Are our young people going to die?”
Before Susas I could say anything, another minister followed impatiently: "Isn't it! What do you mean by light troops? If you don't let the tanks pass, you just rely on the infantry to hit the Tang army's defense line?"
"No wonder they couldn't defeat them after fighting for so long. It turns out that only infantry can go up and fight? Hahaha." Hearing what these two important ministers of the empire said, other ministers also criticized each other.
.
The generals of the Sussus Empire on one side were also sarcastic: "Those wastes have wasted so much precious time and ended up in this situation. They are really a bunch of stupid pigs!"
"Enough!" Susus I scolded in a low voice, and the scene immediately became quiet. He looked at his ministers and reprimanded in a cold voice: "What time is it now? It is a critical matter of life and death.
!What are you doing? Huh? What are you doing?"
After scolding him, he continued: "Send a telegram to the Yangmu Empire again and tell them that the heavy equipment group will also go north. I will mobilize two more armies to reinforce the Ice Empire! No matter what, we must
Drive the Tang army back to the Western Continent!"
As an emperor, he has his own foresight: once the Ice Empire fails, it means that the entire Eastern Continent has failed.
No empire can compete head-on with the Tang Army. Comparing it horizontally, the countries in the Eastern Continent are actually at a huge disadvantage.
Simply looking at the comparison of population and land, the Tang Empire, which controls the entire Western Continent, is absolutely on par with all the countries in the Eastern Continent combined. If the technological advantages are calculated, the Tang Empire clearly has the upper hand.
Although the various empires in the Eastern Continent have united, they are still in fact a piece of scattered sand. The Tang Empire, which dominates the Western Continent, is able to integrate all the resources on the Western Continent and use it like an arm! The coalition is obviously at a disadvantage in this regard, and it is huge.
Disadvantages.
In this comparison, Tang State actually has a clear advantage now. If the coalition forces continue to fight among themselves at this time, they will really have no choice but to wait for death.
Therefore, at this time, Susas I ignored the good relationship between himself and the Tang Empire and mobilized the whole country to join the anti-Tang alliance.
"In addition, in my own name, I will send a telegram to His Majesty Emperor Yangmu I. No matter what, I also ask him to put aside his hatred at the critical moment of life and death, cooperate with the dwarves as much as possible, and drive the Tang army into the sea!" Susas I looked at it.
Many ministers who did not dare to speak added additional orders.
