"The Velonsa region is not stable now. Under such circumstances, we should not rush to war with the Holy Demon Empire... Even if we have a military advantage, after we occupy it, there is no way to ensure absolute stability in the rear.
Already." General Rest, the commander of the 2nd Army, was full of worries.
His unit is the main army group built by Airan Hill. If his unit is blocked in the Greken area, half of the army's armored forces will be scrapped in Greken.
The more modern a combat force is, the more it relies on logistical supplies. The entire group army has tens of thousands of vehicles as well as large-scale armored vehicles and tanks, and a lot of engines may be scrapped every day. If it leaves the rear area of Eiland Hill,
, then the entire army group will completely lose its combat effectiveness in a few days.
What worries him even more is that once Greiken needs to be reinforced, he will not necessarily use only his 2nd Army, but may also include the 1st Army as the main force.
In addition to the 7th and 9th armies that may be approaching, nearly half of the 3rd Army's Ailan Hill troops, which have been serving as the general reserve, may take the initiative to get into the Holy Demon Empire's big pocket.
Therefore, as the commander of the 2nd Army, he has the necessity and obligation to make His Majesty the Emperor aware of the serious problems he may face: "We cannot place all our hopes on the noble sentiments of the Holy Demon Empire.
"
"Indeed, those magicians have become very excited now. Some of the work we carried out there have been supported by the locals, while others have been resisted." Deans, who was in charge of internal affairs, then spoke.
There is indeed some instability in the Vilonsa area recently. The 2nd Army and the 7th Army can maintain local stability when they are stationed there. But if these troops leave, will there be any trouble in the area?
It's not easy to predict.
After all, that is not the Arant Empire, nor is it the Dothan Empire. It has been ruled by the Holy Demon Empire for thousands of years. Their thoughts are deeply rooted. If they can change in a short time, it will be a fool.
Unless Chris can destroy the entire Holy Demon Empire in a short period of time and eliminate all hostile forces that are causing trouble, otherwise the Velonsa area will continue to be in chaos, and it will not be possible to settle down until a few years later.
.
"If the magicians cause trouble, it will put huge pressure on our logistics. If we cannot maintain stability in the rear, our mechanized troops will easily be paralyzed on the front line." General Wald of the 1st Army followed suit.
He nodded and said.
Three years ago, Wald and Lester were ordinary young people in the army. Now, at the age of thirty-five, they have taken the position of army commanders. This has to be said to be a magic ball of instructions.
The miracle brought about is also the miracle of the rise of Eiland Hill.
"Yes, if those mages really attack the logistics supply line, then our troops will be lost in Grecken." Chris is also very worried that his troops will be intercepted by the other party on their way back, and then he will really
I feel like crying without tears.
It is very likely that the armored forces he has accumulated will be paralyzed and turned into scrap metal in Grecken, and the Holy Demon Empire will gain a short-term advantage in strength, regain the territory occupied by Ailancier, and turn Ailancier's
Areas such as the Higgs have become battlefields.
"They all use magic. It's hard for us to manage. Any magician can destroy our railway tracks or blow up the highway if he wants to." Deans is the minister in charge of the interior, so in addition to protecting Chris' immediate
In addition to the Guards, those Guards soldiers who were investigated and arrested were actually under his control.
He has a great say in this aspect. Recently, the Guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs captured thousands of magician rebels in the Veronsa region, more than the rebels in other regions combined.
As he spoke, Chris kept nodding. Magicians are indeed not easy to manage. These people seem to be inherently dangerous targets with guns. Managing them requires facing problems that are countless times more complicated than managing ordinary people. This in itself
It is a management cost.
"Indeed, it is indeed a problem! They can attack us, but we cannot effectively supervise them..." Wagron originally planned to launch a full-scale war against the Holy Demon Empire in the past few months, but because of the Velonsa region
Regarding the unrest, he has not yet prepared his plan of attack.
Once the attack begins and the supplies stored in Veronsa are exhausted, all supplies will need to be transported from the Higgs area. And if you want to attack the Holy Demon Empire itself, it means that you have to cross the entire Veronsa region and
In the war zone, all along the way are areas where magicians live and control.
Once these magicians start causing trouble for Ailan Hill, Ailan Hill's transportation is likely to collapse in a short period of time. Even if they attack the Holy Demon Empire, they will be in a dilemma, and in the end they can only withdraw most of their troops.
"The Guards have made great efforts to arrest people, but the Velonsa area still cannot be completely settled. We can effectively supervise and crack down on premeditated activities such as rallies, but we have no way to supervise those who act alone.
Magician." Deans paused when he said this and looked at Chris.
"We are worried that we will fall into the vast sea of people's war..." Before Chris could speak, after a long pause, he continued in a slow tone: "If too many magicians act alone, we will
There is no way to ensure smooth logistics and transportation."
The conference room became much quieter, and no one laughed wildly now. After being slapped in the face by reality, they could only admit in depression that their previous idea of defeating the Holy Demon Empire immediately was still too naive.
Although Airan Hill is powerful, the flaw that its troops must rely on supplies is also very obvious. When there is no way to ensure their own supplies, the combat effectiveness of these troops is not much stronger than those soldiers holding swords and spears.
"Let's change our credentials and go to the Holy Demon Empire... Try to be softer in language..." Des, who was sitting next to Chris, spoke out his suggestion.
His words made everyone become even more silent. After all, they had laughed with His Majesty Emperor Chris in this conference room before, but now they could only give up their original plans and had no choice but to compromise with reality.
"It's no big deal, we'll send our ideas to Grecken and let them give us their opinions!" Chris forced a smile and said, "If they think we only need a railway to go to Grecken,
Then we will do as they say."
"Before, we occupied only mortal areas, and the conflicts were not serious. In the future, we will face more and more areas occupied by the Magic Empire. Now is the time for us to accumulate experience. Don't be so gloomy." He said.
After that, he stood up with a smile and left the conference room.
Everyone is in a heavy mood. After all, the war will not be fought in a short time. This means that the expansion of Elanthir has entered a bottleneck stage. Velonsa has become a cancer that is difficult for Elanthir to swallow.
It feels extremely uncomfortable in my throat.
Just when everyone was in a bad mood, Minister Smith knocked on Chris's door and stood at the door of Chris' office.
This big engineer, who is usually very busy, brought the work report in person this time, and he could not hide the joy on his face.
As soon as he entered the door, he handed Chris a test report and reported the news that Chris wanted to hear most: "Your Majesty! The geological department called, and the life-threatening stone you wanted was found.
"
"What stone did you say? Wait, you said stone?" Chris raised his head from the document and looked at his confidant Smith, with a look of shock on his face: "You mean, we have found the uranium-235 ore.
?”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Geologists have found that kind of stone. Our reserves are not low, and can even be described as abundant." Smith still doesn't know what the use of that kind of stone is. He is in charge of industry.
Minister, you have no authority to inquire about the "596 Project".
Because from the beginning, all the data of this alien version of the "project" has been top secret, and only a few specific people know about it. Many of them only know the details of a few aspects. Let's put it all together.
, which constitutes the entire huge 596.
After all, there was no need for calculations and calculations. Chris could copy all the details from science and technology books. Therefore, the most torturous part of the entire project was not the design and manufacturing aspects, but the search for raw materials.
Now that this raw material has been found, it means that Chris has an incomprehensible super attack method. As long as he is really ruthless, he can destroy a city in one fell swoop and leave an area barren of grass...
"Great! Mine this ore immediately and send it to the factory responsible for screening and purifying this ore...the one we built before, the factory code-named y!" Chris ordered excitedly.
Then he remembered some questions, looked at Smith and said, "The geologists and personnel searching for the veins strictly followed the regulations and prepared a full set of radiation protection equipment before entering the mining area, right?"
"Because of the trouble and transportation difficulties, they did not perform their tasks in full compliance with the regulations..." Smith said regretfully: "It seems that 17 people are feeling unwell now..."
"I get it...arrange them as much as possible...don't make any mistakes! They are the heroes of the country!" Chris walked to the door, turned around and ordered Smith.
