In accordance with the order of Emperor Sibia, Lieutenant General Helter married the demon princess in the Holy City. The leisurely bells at the romantic wedding had not completely dispersed, and Cohen received warnings from the Divine Alliance and the Demon Alliance almost at the same time.
Letter, the moment he casually discarded these two letters on the desk, the horn of war inevitably echoed on the border lines in both north and south directions.
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand why this war started, so His Majesty the Emperor issued a special official document, which was read directly to the people by the lowest-level administrative officials, clearly explaining the most fundamental reasons for this war and the inability of Sibia.
A weak reason.
Countless mayors, town chiefs, and village chiefs who had been wounded and retired in previous wars and who had supreme confidence in their own troops dragged their disabled bodies and conveyed the contents of the official document to the people with perseverance and heroic tones.
Even in areas where rebellions are taking place, the streets and alleys are covered with this official document, which cannot be torn off no matter how hard it is.
So the people of the empire knew that this war was the aftermath of the last war between gods and demons. The fundamental reason for the war was that other empires could not tolerate a prosperous Sbia. Regardless of whether there was a wedding of the lieutenant general or other things, this war still happened.
Will come - the empire, to put it bluntly, is still made up of people. Just like a group of mediocre villains can't tolerate others who are better than themselves, they will attack them in groups. There is no reason to explain to them, and no rules to follow, just
Being able to show his toughest and most violent side, he can be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and earth...
At this time, the rebellion within the Sibia Empire had spread to three provinces. The rebels occupied a total of 17 cities, large and small, and even formed a siege on the capitals of the two provinces.
The Sibia Empire is already in a critical situation of internal and external embarrassment, with enemies from both sides.
It was also during this period that the Demon Alliance Military Headquarters formally established a wartime headquarters for the first time outside of the war between gods and demons. The various armies under it marched into the Sibia territory in batches with great fanfare, fearing that the sky would
There are still people below who don't know that their troops are divided into three groups, each with a strength of about 150,000.
It is a strange move to make one's military deployment known to everyone, but the headquarters of the Demon Alliance Army does not pay much attention to it. It is as if they are conducting an exercise, placing 450,000 troops at a distance of
Two hundred miles away from the southern defense line of the Sub-Empire, the left army is aiming at the province of Camp, the right army is aiming at the province of Wales, and the Chinese army is taking care of both left and right. The three armies rely on each other and are eyeing the Sibia defense line, which is difficult to find
Determine its true direction of attack.
In the direction of the Divine Alliance, the long border of the Sbia Empire borders two empires: one is the Riva Empire, and the other is the Pota Empire. However, while the Demon Alliance is deploying in a high-profile manner, previous wars
The Divine Alliance Forces, which have shown a strong "reckless spirit" in China, have not taken any action. They have not even shown any signs of action. However, there is accurate information that the offensive group of the Divine Alliance Forces was also formally established during this period.
, its wartime headquarters was located in the Bansai Empire.
In line with the general trend, the Sibia Empire has actually been isolated, so no more information has been sent back. The General Staff and Liaison Office do not even have exact information about the two commanders-in-chief of the coalition forces - the nominal commanders-in-chief are two unknown veterans.
General, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are honest. Not to mention fighting, it is good that they can live past this year. The real commander must be someone else.
However, judging from the various performances of the demonic coalition forces and the divine coalition forces, they have reached a tacit understanding to some extent, and even cooperated closely. This is what worries Cohen the most. If they fight on two fronts at the same time, Sibi
The situation of the runner-up will be extremely bad - the armies of the gods and demons are willing to risk the world's disapproval to cooperate, and they must be determined to destroy Sbia!
It is impossible for ordinary people to obtain such detailed information, but some senior generals serving in the staff department know it very well. They understand that what awaits Sibia will be an extremely tragic war. How can Sibia, who is suffering from internal and external troubles, survive?
How long it can last under such circumstances depends entirely on His Majesty Cohen's planning.
For the entire upcoming war, the General Staff Officer did not allow the General Staff to do any pre-war rehearsals beyond a single battle, but he did it privately behind closed doors, and the best result was: the Sibia Empire paid a huge price
After that, with the cooperation of diplomatic means, half of the country was retained and continued to exist...
This is not a failure. In the face of such an offensive, its continued existence is more meaningful than a simple victory.
Demon Alliance, Brooke Empire, Foxburg, Demon Alliance Military Headquarters.
The spacious and bright conference room was filled with attentive and silent soldiers. Looking around, both sides of the long conference table were full of dazzling generals and above. These generals were the commanders of various departments under the frontline headquarters and the participating legions.
military commander, but what is puzzling is that next to the position of the commander-in-chief, there is a high-backed chair with the same level as the commander-in-chief. Opposite the deputy commander-in-chief, next to it are the staff department and the intelligence department.
The position of the heads of departments such as the Logistics Department.
In such a serious war, it is unlikely that there will be two commanders-in-chief, right?
"The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces has arrived!" the officer on guard at the door announced, and all the officers in the conference room stood up and remained silent.
Just by hearing the staggering footsteps coming from afar, the generals could guess how bad the commander-in-chief's health was. However, this was a sacred and solemn military meeting, and no one would treat the commander-in-chief's health seriously.
The commander's worry is on his face - the battle against the Sibia Empire is the most important and urgent of all things at present. It is not important who will serve as the commander-in-chief. What is important is that he can bring a victory.
The old soldier on crutches finally walked to the door. The sharp lines of his majestic military uniform could not hide his age, and the exquisite gold decoration only made his breathing more rapid. However, after seeing the face of this general clearly,
, no one showed disappointment or contempt... In direct proportion to his age and physical condition, this veteran general also has the strongest prestige and appeal in the demon army system (except for the former coalition marshal). All the generals present were
He was once his student - he served as the military general leader of the Demon Palace for a long time, responsible for teaching the officers the knowledge they need to use for a lifetime: the nature and qualities of soldiers.
"Salute!" the officer on duty gave the order. Dozens of generals turned around and saluted at the same time, looking at the old soldier with convincing eyes. "Listen to all the orders of the Marshal!"
Letting go of the adjutant's support, the old marshal raised his hand in return and walked to the conference table with a cane. He smiled and shook hands with his former students one by one until he reached his seat.
After once again scanning the generals in front of the conference table, the old marshal put away the smile on his face.
"In my dying years, I am deeply honored to see you all in military uniform again!" The old marshal straightened his back, and his words were no less impressive than those of the young people. His loud voice echoed in the conference room, "
I and my family feel truly honored to be able to personally participate in this war against the biggest enemy of the Demon Alliance!"
"I am honored to be the official!" Dozens of people answered loudly and neatly.
"As a soldier, being loyal to the country is the most basic duty. I don't want to emphasize this point anymore. What I want to tell you now is that destroying the Sibia Empire is not just as simple as taking back the occupied land! The purpose of this war is
The most important significance is to completely destroy the strength of the demonic competitors. Based on this, we can maintain our dominant advantage for at least a hundred years! If this goal is not achieved, the situation of the demonic alliance will become very bad! "Old
The marshal paused for a moment, "So, for this war, I will not accept any outcome other than victory. I take this as the commander-in-chief."
A white envelope was placed on the table by the old marshal with a solemn gesture. The words "Suicide Note" on it looked extremely dazzling.
"This is my attitude towards this war. The moment when the news of victory came, it was the moment when this letter was made public." Regarding the shocked expressions of the generals, the old marshal behaved very calmly, "As far as the devil is concerned,
The gold-robed priests of the palace, down to the ordinary civilians, are all watching our performance. At this moment of reversing history, every soldier must shoulder his own obligations and missions! My mission is very simple, which is to satisfy your needs.
All needs, including supplies, soldiers, war conditions, and to withstand all interference from the outside world, and your mission is to use these things to win a perfect victory!"
"The subordinates and others will do their best! We will fulfill our mission!" The generals' doubts about the marshal that they had originally had all disappeared under the influence of the marshal's clear words and firm will.
"I am treating this war with the most caution, and I hope you will be the same." Until now, the old marshal still had no intention of letting everyone sit down, "In normal times, there will be conflicts of one kind or another among you.
, there are dissatisfactions and fights, I can understand that. But now I order you to get rid of all these bullshit - this is a war under the attention of the sacred Dark Lord, and no trace of nastiness can be tolerated in the army!
Those who drag their feet, those who hesitate, those who disobey orders, die!"
"Yes - Lord Marshal!"
"Reviewing past wars, we decided to add the 'Operations Department' unit to this war. This department is parallel to the Staff Department and is directly responsible to me. All military instructions to the participating legions will be issued through the Operations Department. Any
You are not allowed to execute military orders without the signature of the Chief of Operations." The old marshal solemnly announced, "Then, before the meeting officially begins, I will introduce to you the general who serves as the Chief of Operations. His appointment is authorized by the Allied Forces Headquarters.
The decision has been made and has my full support. Chief of Operations, come in!"
For the generals present, this news is a bit unexpected, but it is also reasonable. What is unexpected is that the coalition has added such a new, absolutely authoritative organization between the commander-in-chief and the legions; what is reasonable is that the old
The marshal's body really cannot support his command with the army...
As the generals waited, they heard a set of steady footsteps approaching from far outside the door.
The footsteps stopped outside the closed door, and a clear, familiar voice penetrated the door and reached everyone's ears, "Commenter of the Allied Operations Department, Lieutenant General Swice Hepburn, is here to report!"
The door was slowly opened, and standing outside was none other than Duke Swice Hepburn, who was dressed in military uniform and wore the rank of lieutenant general.
Among the generals in the conference room, some were relieved, some were surprised, and some were dumbfounded.
After leaving the coalition for a long time, he is still so graceful now, but the coldness and determination in his eyes make people no longer find the shadow of the "gentle and pleasant deputy director of the Intelligence Department" before. The former him,
It was like a craftsman sword inlaid with gems all over. It was gorgeous, noble and not dangerous. But now, this long sword has been pulled out of the scabbard, revealing its sharp edge and the power to kill the enemy with one blow.
"Please come in." As expected, the old marshal pointed to the empty seat next to him and said loudly: "This is your seat."
After many days, Lieutenant General Siwes finally re-entered this conference room as a soldier and participated in a hundred-year war against the Sbia Empire. In this conference room, people who understood the true meaning of this war
There are only two people, and the establishment of the Operations Department has actually made Lieutenant General Swice himself the direct commander of this war. The marshal is just a sign at the end of the military order-the whole meaning of it is support.
, the Demon Alliance supports this order!
"After today's meeting, everyone who belongs to the frontline headquarters will leave. My old body cannot accompany you to the frontline, but it is not important, because I know that you and I are fighting for the same ideal.
." The old marshal said in a deep voice: "I announce that the general strategy meeting for the war against the demonic coalition forces against Sibia has begun - everyone, please take your seats!"
"Yes, sir!" The generals sat down. On the wall behind the old marshal, a huge map was slowly being lowered. The new chief of staff stood up and walked towards the map. Several staff officers approached quickly.
Distribute the top secret documents in your hand to the generals present.
"The war against Sbia." When the extremely familiar map of Sbia appeared in his eyes, Svez Hepburn said secretly in his heart: "It has finally begun!"
"Everyone, please take a look, this is the current battlefield situation map." The long stick in the Chief of Staff's hand clicked on the map, "The Sibia Empire's recent military distribution has basically remained unchanged. They are still at Camp and Wells.
There are 120,000 Guards troops with the strongest combat effectiveness in the two places. Moreover, the Guards command offices in the two places have been secretly relocated. In addition to the command structure, the Commander-in-Chief Office also has 60,000 troops directly under its command. There are also some new formations in the entire defense circle.
The total number of legions and local garrison legions is less than 80,000."
"In other words, the total number of enemy troops we have to face is 260,000, less than 300,000, right?" a general asked.
"It can only be said that this is the case at present. In fact, there will be changes. After several wars, everyone should have a minimum estimate of the mobilization speed of Sibia's army. Based on careful analysis, we believe that Sibia can mobilize the army in a very short time.
Mobilizing an army of 500,000 people, in our direction, they can quickly put 100,000 to 200,000 troops in defensive positions." The Chief of Staff explained: "Among them, 180,000 Guards troops are the entire Sri Lankan army.
The most elite troops in the army are the backbone and the hardest nut to crack."
"The information says that the total number of the Sibia Army Guards is less than 300,000, and apart from the command structures at all levels, the combat troops are less than 250,000." Another general looked at the document in his hand and spoke, "That is to say
, except for the necessary legions left to defend the capital, all the Guards in Sbia are opposite us?"
"That's right, and the Guards opposite us are veteran regiments who have experienced hundreds of battles. Most of their mid-level and senior officers are survivors of the Tucheng Battle. I don't need to describe their strength here.
"Yes." The Chief of Staff nodded and continued, "The commander-in-chief of these armies is Lieutenant General Haiert. According to our latest intelligence, he is already on his way back to the commander's office. For this extremely aggressive
Everyone will be familiar with the commander. From last year to this year, the military department asked all generals at the level of major general and above three times to write down their combat plans for him and several other Sibia generals."
"It's a bit strange that Sibia insists on placing Lieutenant General Helter opposite us. You must know that this commander is best at attacking, but in the Camp and Wells areas opposite us, Sibia's army is on the defensive.
." A corps commander sitting at the conference table said: "Is there any conspiracy in this? Or does Sibia's army want to attack before we attack?"
"There will definitely be an attack, but it won't be a full-line attack. Just like the last time, attacking to the rear of the battle line at a certain point and launching a series of destruction is what the Sibia army is really good at doing. This time, they won't do it either.
In addition to this, there is another reason why Sibia insisted on placing Lieutenant General Geert here." The Chief of Staff said: "When they are facing enemies from both sides, their other Lieutenant General Moya
, was deployed in the area north of Sibia close to the Liva Empire, and the only general, Martin Luther, was deployed in the northeast of Sibia to defend against all the attacks of the divine coalition except for Liva.
"
"The Sibia Empire is in a situation where it has no generals to send?" The general who asked was a little surprised by such an answer, "But how can we guarantee that the Divine Alliance will actually attack Sibia? The Divine Alliance has betrayed it before
The Allies really cannot be trusted."
"Although they will often betray their allies, the Divine Alliance will always be loyal to their own desires. As long as we let them maintain this desire, they will do things according to the steps we set." The old marshal interjected: "Let the Divine Alliance attack.
Maintaining this offensive is a very important part of my job, I can assure you of that."
"So, in this war, Sibia will be more dangerous than last time? Is it really being attacked from both sides?"
"It should be said this way." Lieutenant General Swice Hepburn corrected: "Sbia must first resolve the rebellion in the country before it can be qualified to be attacked from both sides."
"We also know something about the rebellion in Sibia." A general asked: "But how can we be sure that Sibia will attack the rebellion in the country first?"
"Because of the character of Emperor Sibia, Cohen Keda will not allow any armed forces in the country to do things that have nothing to do with foreign wars. Therefore, domestic rebellions will be put out first," Lieutenant General Swice Hepburn said.
: "But extinguishing the rebellion is not an easy task and will consume a lot of his time and energy. And this time is extremely precious to us..." (To be continued)
