Two days later, Dr. Perrent finally got the news and learned the whole story of why the Kingdom of Ovelas declared war on the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance. It turned out that when the special envoy sent by the Kingdom of Ovelas visited the Kingdom of Nasseri,
Not only did he receive a cold reception, but he was also humiliated by the envoy from the Kingdom of Hicks in the Royal Court of Nasseri. The envoy from the Kingdom of Hicks came to sign a private commercial and trade agreement with the Kingdom of Nasseri, and met Ou in the royal court.
The envoys of the Kingdom of Vilas clashed because of the disrespectful words of the two parties, and then initiated a duel.
It is a pity that the special envoy of the Kingdom of Overas was a civil servant. Out of anger, he failed in the duel and was also ridiculed by the nobles of the Kingdom of Nasseri. He couldn't think about it for a moment, so he drew his sword and committed suicide in the royal court. As the master, the Kingdom of Nasseri
They should have stopped the conflict between the envoys of the two kingdoms. Instead, they not only failed to stop the duel request made by the envoy of the Kingdom of Hicks to the envoy of the Kingdom of Ovelas, but even added fuel to the flames, forcing the envoy to prevent the envoy from the Kingdom of Ovelas.
His reputation was damaged and he had no choice but to accept the duel challenge. When he failed in the duel and was seriously injured and was ridiculed and insulted by the nobles of the Nasseri Kingdom who were watching, he resolutely drew his sword and killed himself, which did not live up to his reputation for fortitude.
Only at this time did the sober-minded nobles of the Nasseri Kingdom realize that something was wrong. Sure enough, the envoy's entourage gathered up the envoy's body and sent it back to the kingdom. As soon as the news spread, the whole country was in an uproar. Sterling
The House of Representatives delivered a speech, saying that the envoy incident was a complete humiliation to the Kingdom of Ovelas. He announced that from today on, the peace agreement with the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance would be suspended, and that the Kingdom of Ovelas would surrender to the five anti-Austria countries.
The Alliance declares war.
This was four or five days ago. This world is not one where you can immediately send troops to attack the enemy country as soon as you declare war. Of course, it is okay for the other side to have already launched an attack as soon as you declare war. But generally speaking, declaring war
This means that we can mobilize the whole country, expand the legions, recruit troops, and send troops to attack enemy countries. However, this will take time. And this time, it is not that the Kingdom of Ovilas deliberately declares war, but because of the sudden envoy incident that has stirred up the kingdom.
Out of anger, Sterling X went to the National Assembly to deliver a speech and declare war...
It took two days for the news of the Kingdom of Ovelas's declaration of war to spread throughout the eastern region of Pharea. The five countries that had formed an anti-Austria alliance soon issued an announcement announcing their acceptance of the Kingdom of Ovelas's declaration of war.
And began to mobilize the country, recruit troops and expand the army, and at the same time declare war on the Kingdom of Ovelas. This means that the war between the Kingdom of Ovelas and the anti-Austria Five-Nation Alliance has begun, and this is another war involving the entire eastern region of the continent.
Entering the great war.
Claude feels that sometimes the way of war in this world is a bit ridiculous. Declaring war does not mean launching an attack immediately, but to remind the other party that we are going to war with you. We tell you clearly so that you have time to prepare for war and prepare for defense.
Originally, Claude thought that the Blue Feather Legion would immediately launch an attack when the news of the declaration of war came. However, he did not expect that two days later, most of the Blue Feather Legion troops were still busy in their respective military camps, preparing.
Preparations before going to the battlefield. But the officers of the legion have been having meetings and discussing something.
Claude and his garrison squadron have been helping in the canteen of the military camp for two days, busy making dry military rations and making military brown bread. The order from above is to prepare dry rations for the entire battalion for fifteen days, for one soldier
Calculating a loaf of elbow-long brown bread in three days, five loaves of military brown bread are needed in half a month, and the entire battalion needs to prepare nearly 6,000 loaves of military brown bread. In addition, there are other nutritious food configurations, such as small salt boxes.
, dried cheese, dried meat powder, a small piece of butter and some dried fruits and the like.
A small part of these military dry rations are carried by the soldiers, but most of them are transported by the logistics and baggage department. Food is basically distributed every three days. However, this is consumed during the march or in battle. If you are stationed for a long time,
Or if you are preparing to go to the battlefield, you need to prepare hot food for the soldiers. Having a hot meal will give you the strength to fight on the battlefield.
It was an eye-opener for Claude. He had never thought that he would start making military dry food only after the war broke out. At this time, the training of his guard squadron and stretcher team was stopped. There was an order from above, and the logistics department immediately made statistics.
We must replenish deficient and lacking supplies as soon as possible. Therefore, let alone training consumables such as gunpowder and guns, even if the washbasin is broken, you cannot pick it up during this period. You have to wait for the logistics department to make statistics and compile the inventory material information.
Send it up and talk about it later.
The 11th Field Battalion stationed at Fulkby Hill Barracks is considered to be a more combat-oriented battalion of the Blue Feather Regiment. It belongs to the Third Regiment of the 1st Field Division. But strangely, within the next half month, Lan Yu
The Second Division, the Third Division and the Fourth Division of the legion were all sent to the front line respectively, but the First Division, which was recognized as the strongest in the Blue Feather Legion, remained stationary. Many officers who were eager to go to the battlefield and meritorious service inquired everywhere.
The order from above is to stay well and don't look around for trouble. There are many opportunities to go to the battlefield...
Dr. Perrent has great powers, and he got a lot of information. For example, this time the Ministry of War decided to attack in two directions. The Red Dragon Legion and the Griffin Legion will attack the Kingdom of Nasseri from the northwest, and attack from Berta Alnia County.
.In the northeast, the Blue Feather Army will attack the Principality of Sidings from Cafilezte County alone, with the purpose of annexing the Principality of Sidings, and then decide which country to attack.
From the map, the Principality of Sidings is only as large as the seven counties of the Kingdom of Ovelas, but the junction of the two countries is the Odin Mountains, which is a stretch of high mountains and dangerous terrain. The Principality of Sidings is in Austria.
The Ding Mountains built two defensive fronts. They thought they were well-defended and did not need to consider the attack of the Kingdom of Overas. After all, the fortresses and castles on the two defensive fronts built by the dangerous mountains were enough to defeat the enemy.
Blood flowed and returned in vain.
In the opinion of the people in power in the Principality of Sidings, even if the Kingdom of Ovelas attacks the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance, the route it will take should be the Kingdom of Nasseri. After all, the Kingdom of Ovelas and the Kingdom of Nasseri are at war.
During the two wars, troops also came to the capital of King Nasseri, King Kedri, and the two sides knew the details. Moreover, the route was much flatter than their own. There was only a hilly area at the border, whether it was defensive facilities or
The dangerous terrain is much worse than here.
Therefore, relying on these two defensive fronts, everyone in the Kingdom of Sidings always thought that they had nothing to worry about. Although they declared war with the Kingdom of Ovilas, they believed that the war would not burn into their own territory, and they could sit back and watch the Kingdom of Nasseri
The two sides are fighting to the death with the Kingdom of Ovelas. They even think that the war sweeping the eastern part of the mainland is just a delay. When both sides are exhausted, they will naturally resume peace talks and then enter into a signing.
With the peace agreement, we can enjoy peace for several more decades. The so-called price of the war is just to provide some reinforcements and some supplies to the Nasseri Kingdom and fulfill the responsibilities of an ally.
But the Principality of Sidings never dreamed that the Blue Feather Army stationed in Cafilezte County has been pursuing the Principality of Sidings. Moreover, the main purpose of this war is to seize the territory from the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance.
Several seaport bases to completely eliminate the maritime threat to the kingdom posed by the combined fleets of the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance.
The two excellent seaports owned by the Principality of Xidings have become the goals of the Kingdom of Overas. Annexing the Kingdom of Xidings and seizing those two seaports will be equivalent to expanding the kingdom's eastern sea territory to the east by more than 300 years.
At sea, this was almost the heaviest blow to the United Fleet. They could no longer send squadrons deep into the eastern waters of the Kingdom and pose a threat to the Kingdom's coastal territories.
Although the Blue Feather Legion is one of the Kingdom's ace field legions, it ranks behind the Guards Legion and the Red Dragon Legion. It took a lot of effort to seize the leadership of the war in the Ministry of War.
The most important decisive factor in this is that the Blue Feather Legion has taken advantage of the convenience of being stationed in Cafilezte County, adjacent to the Principality of Sidings. In recent years, it has been unremittingly sending spies and reconnaissance personnel to map out the border terrain and place Sidings.
The two defensive lines built by the principality in the Odin Mountains were clearly understood, and a secret passage was also found to move troops around behind the two defensive lines.
For the Blue Feather Legion, as long as they go around the two defensive lines of the Odin Mountains, it is like peeling off the shell of the egg of the Principality of Siddings, revealing the delicious yolk protein inside. There is no need to attack those two lines.
The well-equipped defensive fronts will lose troops and generals. At that time, as long as the logistics supplies on the two defensive fronts of the Principality of Sidings are cut off, it will be enough to force the armed forces of the Principality of Sidings on those two defensive fronts to surrender. As for the Principality of Sidings
The remaining two-thirds of the plains cannot stop the Blue Feather Legion's demonstrations and raids.
Just because the Blue Feather Legion mastered this secret passage, the Griffin Legion, which is better at mountain warfare, was forced to assign the Red Dragon Legion as its deputy to attack the Kingdom of Nasseri. The anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance also believed that Ovi
The main direction of the attack chosen by the Ras Kingdom should be over there, and they are mobilizing and dispatching troops to gather at the Nasseri Kingdom. The strategy they adopt on land is to defend and counterattack, and they build various defensive positions and facilities in the rear regardless of cost.
Prepare to use these to gradually resist the attack of the Ovelas Kingdom army, and slowly drain the enemy's blood until they are unable to attack.
The reason why Dr. Perrent was able to find out this information was because the Second Field Division and the Third Field Division of the Blue Feather Corps had bypassed the two defensive lines deployed by the Principality of Sidings in the Odin Mountains through secret passages and occupied the
The city of Vimys, an important transportation route to the Odin Mountains. Next, the Second Field Division will continue to sweep the territory of the Principality of Siddings and approach the capital of the Principality, Afena Castle. The Third Field Division and the Fourth Field Division will
One after another, they clamped the Odin Mountains tightly together to prevent the defense troops on the two defensive fronts, which accounted for half of the forces of the Principality of Siddings, from leaping over the wall in an attempt to break out.
"But why does our First Division stay here and not go to the front line?" Claude has never been able to figure out this question. Doctor Perente also said that he did not know the reason. This problem may be solved by the top generals of the army.
Knowing the answer, it's obvious why it was kept secret.
More than a week later, we finally got the exact news. It turned out that the first field division of the Blue Feather Army had been staying in Cafilezte County to wait for the arrival of the second prince. The eldest prince Han, the 10th General of Stirling,
Sparky Don Sterling was dispatched to the Red Dragon Legion, and the second prince Wedelek Don Sterling was sent to the Blue Feather Legion. The two princes' duties were to go to the front line to supervise the battle, and at the same time they also went to the three border counties to announce
New administrative measures in the Kingdom.
As the war approached, the kingdom decided to lift the military control order in the three border counties of Cafilezte, Raston Keren and Bertalnia. It also lifted the military control order that had been in place for more than 20 years, and at the same time significantly reduced the number of residents.
Taxation follows the same policies as other parts of the kingdom. The only requirement is to recruit young men from these three border counties to form three second-line legions to serve the kingdom in the war sweeping the eastern part of the continent.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Field Division realized that they had been staying in Cafilezte County just to protect the second prince before going to the front line. Claude also followed the 11th Field Battalion to the legion camp, because of the threat
Prince Derek will hold a military parade at the legion camp. After reviewing the officers and soldiers of the First Division, he will go to the Odin Mountains to preside over the collective surrender ceremony of the two defensive fronts of the Principality of Sidings there...
