Chapter 200 Q&A, Operation Beifeng, Ra Zhuang Ding
Directly attack the airship base of the goblins at the rear? It has to be said that the half-elf great arcanist's suggestion is very smart, but also crazy enough.,!
"Master Angelina, your proposal is very constructive. But the question is, how can we bypass the frontal defense of the goblin army and go more than a hundred miles behind enemy lines to raid the opponent's precious factories?" He looked at it blankly.
The other party, Crete asked in a deep voice.
"Yes. The south side of the Yonville Valley has been completely blocked by the Yugoslav Alliance forces. In addition, there are heavy reconnaissance by goblin airships. I don't think we have a chance to penetrate the enemy's defense line silently." Immediately,
Another city lord agreed.
"Of course it's not feasible to take the land route." Regarding the doubts of others, the half-elf was confident and retorted calmly.
"We can't take the land route...what do you mean!" Upon hearing these words, Lord Belus suddenly seemed to react.
"Yes, we can detour from the west coast and land in the south by sea, and then carry out precise attacks on targets behind the enemy's rear by surprise." Angelina finally revealed her plan.
"Go by sea? Is this possible?" Needless to say, such a proposal that was obviously different from the conventional thinking immediately aroused everyone's discussion. However, since the beginning of historical records, it seems that there has not been any such proposal on the Pancontinent.
There were such examples in the war.
"Why is it impossible? Before the Battle of the Bulge, who could have thought of using goblin airships to implement the 'leapfrog tactic' and achieve miraculous results?" The half-elf seemed to be a very stubborn wise man, and he gave a firm response to the doubts around him.
refute.
"I agree with Master Angelina. If we only dispatch an elite assault force of a few hundred people, at most three long-masted sailing ships will be enough to provide transportation capacity. Moreover, the wind direction at this time is conducive to sailing from north to south.
.As long as the weather is suitable, I think one day and one night is enough time for the full-sailed ship to complete the scheduled voyage." After the venue was silent for a moment, Mrs. Hanquan suddenly voted in favor of the half-elf city lord with a clear stand.
"What you said makes sense. However, there are three problems we need to solve first." Crete looked at the two great arcanists respectively and said.
"Tell me."
"First, as we all know, the west coast route of Bracada is a rather difficult route. There are not only several reef areas and sea whirlpools, but also monsters such as sea monsters. Therefore, most of the caravans between the north and the south have always been
To complete it by land, we are afraid of the high risks on the sea route." Lord Belus said first.
"Well, that's true." The half-elf nodded.
"Second, we still know nothing about the location and defensive strength of the airship factory set up by the goblins in the south. Therefore, even if a commando team is successfully sent to land in the south, it will be difficult to be effective in the end. Instead, it will fall into the goblins accidentally.
The garrison is under encirclement and suppression." Having said this, Critter paused briefly, then followed up: "As for the last question, it is because of the battlefield settings. All those troops who went to the south to perform raids,
Regardless of whether they succeed in the end, it may be difficult to withdraw safely. Although this is an inevitable price to pay, if hundreds of elite soldiers and mid-level professionals are lost at once, it is still too much for the Allies.
A bit heavier."
After saying this, Lord Belus stopped talking and gave the right to speak back to the half-elf.
"Lord of Crete, your three questions are very good. To this, my answer is: for dangerous sea routes with undulating waves, a special magic sand table can be temporarily installed on the ship. Through the detection and induction of the sand table,
Avoid the most dangerous reef areas and search for safe passages in the sea whirlpool area. As for the Kraken and other monsters, I think the special operations team including mages and mid-level warriors should be strong enough to deal with them." After thinking about it for about a while.
Five minutes, the half-elf replied.
"Magic Sandbox... Well, it seems feasible." Lord Belus looked at the Grand Arcanist and nodded.
"As for your second question, the location setting of the goblin airship, I already have the answer." As he said that, the half-elf took out a mottled map made of animal leather from his sleeve, which was finely drawn with pure black charcoal.
Place names are marked one after another. Among these place names, about a dozen places have an additional small airship pattern on the side. Obviously these should be the locations of factories related to goblin airships.
"What is this map?"
Quickly taking the animal leather from the hands of the great arcanist, Crete studied it carefully. Sure enough, this map corresponds to a large area in the south of Brakada. As a large city-state, Crete can very
It can be clearly identified. However, on this map, there is a corner that seems to have been painted with some kind of dark red paint, making the original markings a little blurry.
"In order to obtain this map, I lost a total of five of the best intelligence spies. The red color is the blood they shed." Looking at Crete's confused expression, the half-elf Grand Arcanist said coldly.
"...I understand what you mean, Master Angelina. This blood stain is the best answer to the third question." After looking at each other for a moment, Lord Belus understood the meaning in the half-elf's eyes.
"So, everyone, do you have any opinions on Master Angelina's plan to attack the Southern Goblin Airship Factory by sea to contain the Yugoslav Alliance's aerial reconnaissance power?" Putting down the map of the airship factory, Crete looked around at the table.
All the northern city lords nearby said.
"I agree."
"That's all."
"It's worth fighting to kill those goblin airships!"
There was only a moment of silence, and then all the allied commanders unanimously approved the sneak attack plan proposed by Angelina, the Lord of Rome.
However, when it was later determined how many elites each legion needed to deploy to form a special commando force, many city lords of small city-states said that due to their relatively weak strength, they were afraid that they would not be able to allocate the manpower evenly. Because before
It has been made very clear that all these commandos, or they can also be called death squads, will most likely never return. Therefore, for a small city-state that originally lacked high-end combat power and a strong foundation, it would take too many backbones.
It is really unwilling and unreasonable to sacrifice one's strength to die.
Therefore, after several rounds of fierce and unusual bargaining and mutual compromise, the three most powerful northern city-states, including Belus, Roma and Azurite, will be responsible for 40% of the personnel of the commando team, while the other
More than a dozen small and medium-sized city-states will bear the remaining 60%. As for Stormwind City and Crimson City, two city-states that suffered heavy losses in the previous Battle of the Bulge and Battle of Stormwind City, they are completely exempted from any manpower.
However, in response, in order to compensate the three major city-states for "bravely shouldering the heavy burden", other human city-states will make contributions in terms of materials and military expenditures.
"Lord City Lord, which personnel do you plan to select to participate in the execution of this 'Operation North Wind'?" In the headquarters of the Azure Legion, after reading the memorandum on the plan to attack the goblin airship factory, Miguel and Crewe
Yves looked at each other silently and asked softly.
"What do you think?" Mrs. Hanquan asked with a smile as she looked at the two military confidants in front of her.
"this…"
Such a question is really difficult to answer. As professional soldiers, the two generals naturally understand the key role of this "Operation North Wind", but they are also more aware of the dangers involved. Therefore, they must take the initiative to send their men to die.
, and it is really too difficult for elites to die.
"Haha, I understand your thoughts. But according to the plan in the memorandum, our Blue Crystal City will be responsible for at least fifty troops. Therefore, someone must make sacrifices." Seeing Cruyff and Mi
Both Geer were "reluctant" to reply, so Mrs. Lan Jing had no choice but to "persuad".
"Lord City Lord, you also know that in the first battle and the many small-scale conflicts earlier in the period, our Azurite Legion has reduced its membership by nearly 300 people. Although there are also follow-up troops coming from Azurite City one after another.
I came here to supplement, but the overall combat capability has still declined. Moreover, the people requested this time are elites in the army who are far stronger than ordinary soldiers. It is really difficult to make such a determination." He held back again and looked relatively young.
Sheng Miguel first carefully "refuted".
"'Old Bear,' what do you think?" Regarding Miguel's "resistance" attitude, Mrs. Hanquan did not express her opinion immediately, but looked at Cruyff next to her.
"Sir, although Operation Beifeng has excellent strategic significance, it cannot but be said to be a huge adventure. So far, our information on the local airship factory is only a simple map. But based on this, we must
It is not the behavior of a good gambler to place heavy bets." Facing the gaze of the Grand Arcanist, Cruyff pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"As for the intelligence, I have had in-depth communication with Master Angelina. There is absolutely no problem with this." After looking at the two military leaders respectively, Mrs. Hanquan said: "So, this bet is still worth it.
"
"I'll understand." Now that the boss has said this, Cruyff and Miguel no longer have any position to object.
"Since this operation is imperative, we, as subordinates, must do our best to complete the mission. However, as for candidates, I suggest that we consider combat capabilities other than the Azurite Legion." Taking a deep breath, Miguel suddenly said: "So far.
So far, the Olympus Squadron of the Azure Mage Group is still at full strength. If we can get their assistance, then the limited strength of the legion can be retained as much as possible."
"Haha, you really dare to say what you dare to think." Looking at Miguel, Mrs. Hanquan smiled again.
"My subordinates are arguing in vain." In fact, if he was not really unwilling to drag his soldiers out to die, Miguel would not dare to openly pry Figaro's corner. However, this is also a method that is not a solution. It depends on the situation.
How do you think and operate?
"Cruyff, what do you think of Miguel's opinion?"
"My subordinate... seconded the proposal." Faced with Mrs. Hanquan's meaningful gaze, Cruyff could only lower his head and replied. (To be continued.
