A telegraph operator who was guarding the telegraph office in the city of Ireland was holding an earpiece with one hand and recording the contents of the telegram in a notebook with the other hand. When he was halfway through recording, his eyes suddenly widened.
: "I x..."
He tore off the telegram, handed it to his superior, and said, "It's serious! Send this telegram to His Majesty immediately!"
About half an hour later, the car of Archduke Kastner, the Minister of Defense, stopped in front of the gate of Seris Castle. He looked in shock at the Minister of the Interior of Ireland, Deans, who had also just arrived.
"It's an emergency, so we won't be chatting here! Please!" Kastner made a gesture for Deans to go first, and Deans also made a gesture for Kastner to go together. The two of them
They walked side by side, taking their respective secretaries with them, and walked into the castle.
Luo Kai, the Chief of General Staff who is closest to the castle, is already standing in front of the huge map in the conference room. He is debating to Chris the possible strategic countermeasures of Eiland Hill.
The meeting did not start until everyone had arrived. Des went south to inspect the commercial development of the Dothan area, and Strider went to the Prairie area to inspect the Prairie area on behalf of Chris, who was not in Seris either.
The remaining officials should be on their way. Chris knew that Wageron would be arriving soon, so he immediately ordered: "We won't wait for them anymore, let's have a meeting!"
Everyone felt caught off guard. The first person to speak was Castner. He looked at the map with a strange look on his face and asked, "Why did the Puppet Empire attack the Eternal Empire?"
"I don't know, maybe they are crazy, maybe they are bewitched by demons." Deans shook his head and looked at Chris, who looked a little ugly.
Chris finally understood why he had been feeling uneasy in the past two days. Now he knew that the attitude of the puppet empire was actually the root cause of his uneasiness.
Kastner looked at Luo Kai and asked pointedly: "Why is there no information at all?"
"Do you think we can plant spies in the puppet empire?" Luo Kai answered tit for tat.
"It seems that after strengthening the precautions, there are not many puppet empire spies on our side." Deans waved his hand and explained: "The intelligence gains from both sides are very limited."
Luo Kai nodded and continued to explain: "To be honest, they are like two different races. It is not easy to sneak into the other country."
"However, in comparison, the puppet empire has a natural advantage in infiltrating our side. No matter how we control it, there will always be some fools with stupid ideas, but the puppets will not be compromised in executing orders..."
Deans agrees with Roquet.
Indeed, in the field of intelligence, the Magic Empire has a natural advantage over the just-rising Airan Hill. Although Airan Hill attaches great importance to the work of espionage, it cannot make up for its inherent flaws.
On the one hand, the intelligence infiltration of the Magic Empire into the mortal world has always existed, and many spokespersons of the Magic world are hidden in the mortal world. This fact cannot be changed in a short time.
On the other hand, the loyal spies trained by Elan Hill are all new to the Magic Empire. As long as they strictly check the people who have entered the Magic Empire in the past two or three years, they can easily find Elan Hill.
your intelligence officers.
This kind of unequal intelligence war has caused a lot of losses to Alan Hill: although some intelligence can be obtained from Grecken and the Eternal Empire, overall, Alan Hill is at a disadvantage in terms of espionage warfare.
of.
Chris interrupted them and brought the topic back to the right direction: "It's useless to discuss this now. The Eternal Empire is being invaded, and they also sent a telegram to us and Grecken asking for help!"
"Actually, our reaction speed is much faster than a few years ago. If it were three years ago, we might not get the news about the Puppet Empire's invasion of the Eternal Empire one month later." Luo Kai laughed at himself.
, explained: "We have a mobilization plan and an assistance plan, both of which were drawn up a few months ago."
"I hope there won't be any trouble during the execution of these plans." Castner glanced at Luo Kai and said to Chris: "The Ministry of National Defense still believes that we should mobilize the troops immediately and issue a combat readiness alert.
good."
"Agree!" Deans nodded.
Gurlo, who had just entered the room, pulled out a chair and nodded to Chris as he spoke: "Agree!"
Because they have been worried about any unfavorable actions of the puppet empire, Alan Hill is also doing a lot of preparation work. Many emergency plans are related to the puppet empire, and the most radical ones even use the Norma Empire to use remote
Strategic bombers, a plan to carry out strategic nuclear strikes against the puppet empire.
Of course, this plan itself has too many shortcomings, and the Air Force of Ireland Hill still does not recommend using this attack method unless it is a last resort.
After all, the Puppet Empire is a super magic empire that can stand up to Grecken. This empire is too mysterious, and the reckless use of nuclear weapons to attack may not necessarily have much effect.
If the nuclear weapon is taken away by a high-level magician as powerful as Vivian in the opponent's hands, wouldn't Ellen Hill be making a wedding dress for others?
In addition, transporting nuclear bombs into the Norma Empire was not a good plan, so this plan was regarded as the last resort and was placed at the bottom of all plans.
"The Puppet Empire has sided with the devil, there is no doubt about it. The question now is..." Chris wanted to summarize, and then released some reinforcements for the Eternal Empire, as well as strategies for the Puppet Empire.
"Dang Dang Dang! Report!" But before he could say this, his words were interrupted by the knock of an officer at the door.
"Come in!" Chris had a bad feeling and ordered.
"Your Majesty! The news I just received is from a dragon knight of the Holy Demon Empire who ventured across the border. The Holy Demon Empire is already on the side of the puppet empire!" The officer handed the message to Chris, stood at attention, saluted and reported.
Just now, his colleagues handed Chris the news that the Puppet Empire declared war on the Eternal Empire. Now, he came to report the news that the Holy Demon Empire declared war on Elanthir.
"What?" Hearing the news, Kastner stood up from his seat in shock. The Holy Demon Empire declared war on Elanthir at this time, which really made matters worse.
Beside him, Gurlo also felt that this incident was too incredible: "How is this possible?"
In their view, since the Holy Demon Empire allowed the railway to pass through their territory, it was tantamount to siding with Elanhir and Grecken. How could they rebel at such a time?
Deans is also reluctant to believe the situation they are facing now: "What are the Holy Demon Empire doing? Are they crazy?"
Kastner looked at Deans and reluctantly confirmed: "Then our westward railway is finished?"
"The entire railway is in danger of being attacked..." Deans felt bad all over. He could even feel what Chris was feeling now.
"What should I do with the supplies for the 9th Army?" Luo Kai looked pale, looked at Chris who also had an ugly face, and asked subconsciously.
He is now without a master. He is an army group hanging alone. Hundreds of thousands of troops have no logistical supplies. For Ailan Hill, they are hundreds of thousands of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"How can there be time to worry about the 9th Army at this time! There are at least tens of thousands of maintenance troops and management personnel on the entire railway... It's over! It's all over!" Minister Smith of the technical department, who had never spoken, was heartbroken.
They are all talents that have been trained and accumulated.
You want to know what Airan Hill lacks most right now? It’s talent! Every position requires a lot of talent. Even with the help of the Knowledge Magic Ball, the talent gap will be difficult to fill in a short time.
But this time, just on the first day of the war, Ireland lost about 50,000 railway professionals. This is what is really heartbreaking.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Chris clenched his fists and knocked on the heavy solid wood conference table, causing the entire conference room to immediately become silent.
He stood up, put his fist down on the table, leaned forward slightly, glanced at everyone, and said: "Now! Go and confirm whether the Holy Demon Empire has really launched a war against us! I want a definite order!"
"Order the 1st Army and the 2nd Army to prepare for battle immediately! Let Walter wait for my order! If war breaks out! He needs to attack along the railway line immediately! Fight as far as you can! Be sure to rescue supplies and
Personnel!" Chris first gave the order to prepare for war.
Then he continued to order: "Once the war begins, let the 2nd Army cover the flanks of the 1st Army! Advance to the southwest!"
Immediately afterwards, he issued a third order: "At the same time as the war begins, General Wilkes's 3rd Army will attack northward from the southern region! Encircle all the defenders on the border of the Holy Demon Empire with the 2nd Army! Don't let any one go.
Walk!"
Finally, he looked at Air Force Commander Butolya, who had been silent, and ordered: "Deploy all the strategic air forces you can find! Bomb the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire!"
"Send a telegram to the 9th Army! Let them save ammunition! Shrink the defense line as much as possible!..." Although he already knew that the 9th Army was expected to be in danger, Chris still felt that he could try to make them persist a little longer.
If the 1st Army can retake the westward railway within a few dozen days, the 9th Army, which is hanging outside, can almost be rescued.
As long as the 1st Army's attack goes smoothly, the 2nd and 3rd Army invade the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire, and the 9th Army can successfully get out of trouble, then it is Chris who has the final say as to when this war will end.
"Gentlemen! Get ready! An unprecedented war! It's about to begin!" Chris stared at the men in front of him and said righteously word by word——
