Chapter 270 Don’t give up an inch of soil (please subscribe!!!)
"Originally, the Kingdom of Windsor had no idea of attacking, and we could regain all the lost land within half a year. However, the Kingdom of Frederick and the Kingdom of Sardinia suddenly entered the war, making a big enemy appear in the south of us."
At the conference table, Duke Ivanovich held a long stick, pointed at the map on the table and said: "After investigation, the Fessarian coalition had no less than 200,000 troops. They came well prepared and attacked our army accurately.
A sneak attack was launched, and although they are temporarily retreating, they will definitely make a comeback soon."
"And after the Kingdom of Windsor learns that the Feissan coalition has joined the war, they may adopt a defensive plan that they can't hold on to and refine their front to a city, a small town or even a village, constantly slowing down the speed of our attack."
"In this case, the Fessa coalition in the south will seize the opportunity and launch a sneak attack again. We must allocate enough troops to guard it, but in that case, we will not have enough power to attack the Kingdom of Windsor."
The current situation of the Romanov Kingdom seems to be okay, but in fact it is extremely critical. The western front was originally going well, and it was expected to achieve complete victory in half a year, but everything was shattered with the arrival of the Fessa coalition.
In terms of military strength, the Romanov Kingdom no longer has the upper hand. The two enemies of the Fessa Allied Forces and the Kingdom of Windsor combined total 550,000 in number, and they are also equipped with advanced rifles. This is very important to the Romanov Kingdom.
It can be described as a bolt from the blue.
"Recruit troops."
The Duke of Tbilisi said: "We should continue the previous battle plan, explode our troops crazily, and use bulldozer tactics to defeat the enemy!"
"The newly recruited soldiers have no training, combat experience, and insufficient weapons. What's the use of recruiting more soldiers?" a senior military officer retorted.
"Just treat them as cannon fodder!" The Duke of Tbilisi said firmly: "The Wisdom Cult can use ancient magic kings to boost morale. Weapons are not important. Crazy soldiers can kill people even with black bread! Let's
They took the lead, while the kingdom's elites stayed behind and continued to advance, giving priority to attacking the Kingdom of Windsor!"
The senior officer who had just retorted slapped the table and stood up, angrily saying: "This plan of yours will harm the country and the people! The recruits are all low-level civilians and serfs. If they all die, the Romanov Kingdom will be over! There are people in the Windsor Kingdom.
In the realm of immortality, too many soldiers will not be killed or injured, and this suicidal attack plan will only destroy the Romanov Kingdom!"
"The top priority is to regain the lost land! Do you understand it at all?!" The Duke of Tbilisi snorted coldly: "There are large industrial areas around the royal capitals of Petersburg and Mosk, which are the economic centers of the Romanov Kingdom.
If we don’t retake that area quickly, the kingdom will be in economic trouble! We can’t afford it! We can’t fight a protracted war!”
"If all the men are dead, what will happen if the industrial area is taken back? You are consuming the future potential of the Romanov Kingdom!"
"stop fighting!"
Duke Ivanovich said loudly: "What you two said makes sense. It is indeed urgent to recruit new soldiers, but we cannot completely ignore the future, otherwise the Romanov Kingdom will exist in name only, and winning will be the same as losing!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Duke Ivanovich thought for a while, looked at Archbishop Henry, and asked: "Can the Kingdom of Popon and the Barbarossa Empire send troops to support us?"
"Unfortunately, no." Archbishop Henry shook his head: "The Kingdom of Popon is under siege and cannot spare its troops, and the situation of the Barbarossa Empire is not much better. At the same time, it has to face the Kingdom of Otto and Voodoo.
For the kingdom's attack, even if it can send troops, it won't be able to send many troops, no more than 10,000 at most."
Ten thousand reinforcements will not change the situation at all.
The Romanov Kingdom now needs 100,000, 200,000 or even 500,000 new troops, otherwise it will be impossible to gain an advantage!
"Grand Duke Katerina."
While pondering, Ivanovich turned to Katerina: "Can you withstand the Second Army of the Kingdom of Windsor and the army of the Kingdom of Frederick at the same time?"
His eyes were full of hope. At this moment, Duke Ivanovich very much hoped that Katerina would nod in agreement, which would relieve him of great pressure, but
"Do you think it's possible?" Katerina looked at him expressionlessly: "I still have 35,000 troops in my hands. The Second Army and Frederick's Kingdom combined have a total of 250,000 troops, which is higher than mine.
Eight times, even my soldiers with three heads and six arms can't stop them!"
"well"
Duke Ivanovich sighed. He also knew in his heart that this request was too difficult. Asking 30,000 people to stop 250,000 elite enemy troops was no different than sending someone to death!
"Why don't you sue for peace?"
An officer sitting at the bottom of the table suddenly suggested: "The situation is very unfavorable to us. If we continue to fight hard, we will only lose both sides. It is better to ask for peace from the Feissan coalition. Their purpose in launching the war is nothing more than to covet our land. Since
In this case, we might as well set aside a few cities as concessions for them in exchange for their withdrawal, so that we can do our best to deal with the Kingdom of Windsor."
"no!"
Katerina said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "We can't give them an inch of land! Give them a piece of land today, and they will ask for a city tomorrow! If we give it to the city today, will we give it to the royal capital tomorrow? No matter how strong the enemy is, we will not give it to them.
We must stand up and fight! People can die, but the blood in their bones cannot be lost! Whoever dares to ask for peace again, I will be the first to kill him!"
There was dead silence on the conference table, and there was silence in the church. Facing the powerful Katerina, Duke Ivanovich and others stopped talking. If possible, they did not want to sue for peace.
At this moment, Ma Wei suddenly spoke: "I brought a design drawing."
Under everyone's gaze, Ma Wei took out a blueprint from his arms and spread it out on the table. It was 'Edward One'.
"This is a new type of firearm developed by Edward. It has a bold and advanced design and can fire continuously."
After Ma Wei introduced the advantages and disadvantages of the 'Edward 1', he looked around and said slowly: "If the 'Edward 1' can be put into large-scale production and equipped with our army, then we will definitely be able to form dense fire coverage, even if
The military strength cannot crush the enemy, but it can also suppress the opponent's offensive."
A rifle that can fire continuously?
Duke Ivanovich and others, who were still using old-fashioned flintlock muskets and did not approve of breech-loading rifles, came closer and stared at the drawings with shock in their eyes.
Their IQs are relatively normal and they know the role of repeating rifles on the battlefield.
If someone else shoots you once, you can shoot five times. What is this concept?
With the ‘Edward 1’, it means that the Romanov Kingdom can abandon the human sea tactic and integrate with the modern army!
This is a revolutionary invention!
Katerina was not angry about Ma Wei's move to bring out the drawings. Ma Wei had made a special trip to see her before coming to Nizhny Tagil for the meeting.
In the face of a powerful enemy, Katerina is willing to hand over the blueprints for the Romanov Kingdom to minimize casualties and enhance the strength of her own army.
Duke Ivanovich swallowed and looked at Mavey excitedly: "Father, are you sure you want to hand over this drawing to us?"
".Why else would I take it out for display in a museum?"
"No, no, I'm sorry." Duke Ivanovich held up the drawing and took a deep breath: "Has it been tested in actual combat?"
"My soldiers have been tested and can be used completely." Katerina said: "In order to capture Chelyabinsk, the 'Edward 1' played a crucial role. Without it, the assault I led would not have been possible."
The team cannot hold out until reinforcements arrive."
"Okay, okay," Prince Ivanovich nodded repeatedly.
"I can give you the drawings, but I have a request."
Under Duke Ivanovich's slightly puzzled gaze, Mavey said calmly: "This gun must be named 'Edward No. 1' and cannot be called by any other name."
