Chapter 200： Prelude to war

A telegrapher who was guarding the telegraph bureau in the city of Elland Hills was holding the headset with one hand and recording the contents of the telegram on the notebook with the other. When he was halfway through the recording, his eyes suddenly widened: "I x..."

He tore off the message, handed it to his officer, and said: "The big thing is not good! Send this message to your Majesty immediately!"

About half an hour later, the Duke of Defense Minister Castner's car stopped in front of Serris Castle, looking at the same newly arrived Minister of the Interior of Alan Hill Diens with a shocked look on his face.

"It's urgent, so I won't say anything here! Please!" Castner made a gesture to let Dians go first, and Dians also made a gesture to let Castner go together, two people They walked side by side and walked into the castle with their respective secretaries.

The Chief of Staff of the General Staff, Luo Kai, who is closest to the castle, is already standing in front of the huge map in the conference room, and he is debating for Chris the possible strategic countermeasures of Alan Hill.

The meeting did not wait for everyone to come. Desaier went to the south to inspect the commercial development of the Dothan area, and Strider went to inspect the prairie area on behalf of Chris, and he was not in Serris.

Some of the remaining officials should be on their way. Chris knew that Wagron would be there soon, and immediately ordered: "Let’s not wait for them, hold a meeting!"

Everyone felt caught off guard. The first person to speak was Castner. He looked at the map with a strange expression and asked: "Why does the puppet empire attack the eternal empire?"

"I don't know, maybe they are crazy, maybe they are bewitched by the devil." Deans shook his head and looked at Chris, who was a little ugly.

Chris finally knew why he had been feeling anxious for the past two days. Now he knew that the attitude of the puppet empire was actually the root cause of his constant anxiety.

Castner looked at Luo Kai and asked specifically, "Why is there no information?"

"Do you think we can plant spies in the puppet empire?" Luo Kai responded tit-for-tat.

"It seems that after strengthening the prevention, 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: "Frankly speaking, it's like two different races. It's really not easy to get into each other's country."

"However, in comparison, the puppet empire has a natural advantage when mixed into our side. No matter how we manage and control, there will always be some fools with stupid ideas, but the execution of orders by the puppet is estimated to not be discounted..." Deans agreed with Luo Kai's statement.

Indeed, in terms of intelligence, the Magic Empire has a natural advantage over Ailan Hill, which has just risen. Although Ailan Hill attaches great importance to the work of spying, it cannot compensate for birth defects.

On the one hand, the intelligence penetration of the magic empire in the mortal world has always existed, and many spokespersons of the magic world are hidden in the mortal world. This is a fact that there is no way to change it in a short period of time.

On the other hand, it is the diehard spies cultivated by Ailan Hill, but they are full of faces on the magic empire. As long as the other party strictly checks the personnel who have entered the magic empire in the past two or three years, you can easily find Ai Lanxi. Intelligence personnel.

This kind of unequal intelligence warfare has caused Alanhill to suffer a lot: Although some intelligence can be obtained from Gricon and the Eternal Empire, overall, Alanhill is in a state of loss in spy warfare. of.

Chris interrupted them and turned the topic back in the right direction: "It's useless to discuss this now. The Eternal Empire is being invaded, and they have sent a telegram for help to us and Greken at the same time!"

"Actually, compared to a few years ago, our reaction speed is already very fast. If we put it three years ago, we might not get the news of the puppet empire invading the eternal empire in a month." Luo Kai smiled self-deprecatingly. , Explained: "We have a mobilization plan as well as an aid plan, all of which were drawn up a few months ago."

"I hope that these plans will not cause any troubles during the implementation." Castner glanced at Luo Kai and said to Chris: "The Ministry of Defense still thinks that we should immediately mobilize the army and issue a combat readiness alert. it is good."

"Agree!" Deans nodded.

Gulola, who had just walked into the room, pulled out a chair and nodded to Chris as he spoke, "Agree!"

Because I have been worried about any unfavorable actions in the Puppet Empire, Ailan Hill is also doing a lot of preparations. Many contingency plans are related to the puppet empire. The most radical even uses the Norma Empire to use long-range strategic bombers to carry out strategic nuclear strikes on the puppet empire.

Of course, this plan itself has too many shortcomings, and it is not a last resort. The Air Force of Ailan Hill still does not recommend the use of this attack method.

After all, the puppet empire is a super magic empire that can directly face Greken. This empire is too mysterious, and the use of nuclear weapons to attack may not have much effect.

If the nuclear weapons are taken away by a senior magician as powerful as Vivienne in the opponent's hands, wouldn't Ailan Hill be 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 to counterattack and was at the bottom of all plans.

"The puppet empire is already on the side of the devil, there is no doubt about it. The problem now is..." Chris wants to summarize, and then release some reinforcements for the eternal empire, as well as strategies for the puppet empire.

"Dangdangdang! Report!" But before he could say this, his words were interrupted by a knock on the door of an officer at the door.

"Come in!" Chris had a bad feeling and ordered.

"Your Majesty! The news just received, a news from a holy demon empire dragon knight 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 and reported it at the salute.

Just now, his colleague passed the news of the Puppet Empire's declaration of war on the Eternal Empire to Chris' hands. Now, he has reported the news of the Holy Demon Empire's declaration of war on Ailan Hill.

"What?" Hearing this news, Kastner stood up from his seat in shock. The Holy Demon Empire declared war on Ailan Hill at this time, but it was really worse.

By his side, Gurlo also felt that this matter was too unthinkable: "How is this possible?"

In their view, since the Holy Demon Empire allowed the railway to pass through their territory, it was tantamount to standing on the side of Ailan Hill and Gricken. How could it betrayed at this time?

Diens was also very unwilling to believe that the situation they were facing now: "What is the Holy Demon Empire doing? Are they crazy?"

Castner looked at Deans and reluctantly confirmed: "Then our westbound railway is over?"

"The entire railway is in danger of being attacked..." Deans felt that his whole person was not good, and he could even feel what Chris's mood was like now.

"What about the supplies of the 9th Army?" Luo Kai's face was pale, he looked at Chris, who had the same ugly face, and asked subconsciously.

He also has six gods and no masters now, that is a group army that hangs alone, hundreds of thousands of troops have no logistical supplies, for Ailan Hill, that is hundreds of thousands of lambs to be slaughtered.

"There is no time to worry about the 9th Army at this time! On the entire railway, there are at least tens of thousands of road maintenance troops and management personnel... it is over! It is all over!" The Minister of the technical department who has not spoken is heartbroken. They are all talents who have been trained and accumulated.

Want to know what is most lacking in Ailan Hill now? It's talent! Every position needs a lot of talents, even with the help of the Magic Ball of Knowledge, the talent gap is difficult to fill in a short time.

But this time, just on the first day of the war, Ailan Hill will lose about 50,000 railway professionals. This is the real heartache.

"Dangdangdang!" Chris clenched his fists and tapped on the heavy solid wood conference table, making the whole conference room quiet immediately.

He stood up, pressed his fist down against the tabletop, leaned forward slightly, scanned everyone, and said, "Now! Check if the Holy Demon Empire is really at war against us! I want a definite order!"

"Order the 1st Army and the 2nd Army to be ready for battle immediately! Let Walter wait for my order! If a war breaks out! He needs to attack along the railway line immediately! Fight as far as you can! Be sure to rescue the supplies and supplies. Personnel!" Chris first gave the order to prepare for the battle.

Then he continued and ordered: "Once the war begins, let the 2nd Army cover the flank of the 1st Army! Push southwest!"

Immediately afterwards, he issued a third order: "At the same time as the war began, General Wilkes' 3rd Army attacked from the south from the north! Encircled with the 2nd Army, all the guards on the border of the Holy Demon Empire! Don't let any of them go. go!"

Finally, he looked at the Air Force Commander Butoria, who had not spoken, and ordered: "Send all the strategic air forces that can be found! Bomb the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire!"

"Telegraph to the 9th Army! Let them save ammunition! Shrink the line of defense as much as possible!..." Although the 9th Army is estimated to be bad luck, Chris still feels that he can try to make them persevere.

If the 1st Army can retake the Westward Railway within a few tens of days, the 9th Army, which is hanging alone, can almost be rescued.

As long as the 1st Army's offensive goes smoothly, the 2nd and 3rd Army invades into the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire, and the 9th Army can successfully overcome the difficulties, when this war will end, Chris has the final say.

"Gentlemen! Get ready! A grand battle! It's about to begin!" Chris stared at the men in front of him, and said righteously--

This is the end of the first volume, today's sixth update, and there will be additional updates later, everyone will wait... this time, ask for monthly pass for reward, subscription and collection... Isn't it too much? Ten more in two days! Long live Ailan Hill!
