Chapter 685： Defense tactics

The breath of war is approaching, but for the current Cecil empire, it is not the best time to wage war.

The Changfeng Fortress, the walls of the city stand between the hills and the plains. The tens of kilometers of bastions of the bastions greet the colder autumn winds. In the bright sunshine cast by the giant sun, there is a layer of pale golden brilliance. The inlaid runestone bricks shimmered with magical halo, so that the entire fortress was enveloped in a layer of energy shields. The vigilant soldiers stood on the walls and sentry towers, staring at the Tifeng Empire. The direction.

Inside the fortress, a new team of soldiers stationed in the fortress is walking between the barracks in a loosely formed formation. The instructor of the Cecil Army, who is responsible for training the new recruits, stands next to the road, with a meticulous expression, but not far from the wall. On, I noticed that a fortress veteran of the recruits couldn’t help but shook his head: "These soldiers can’t fight at all... It’s okay to deal with the thieves in the country, here is the Tifeng people? Seven or eight people are tied. Not enough to die."

"The codes of the Cecil Corps can quickly make these recruits come in handy - at least let them know the order." Another veteran said next to him.

"That also has to be a training time. These recruits are afraid that they are still holding hoes and grass forks the day before..."

A pretending Maryland sword took the wall, and the veteran's conversation fell into his ears, and the performance of the recruits fell in his eyes.

After completing the inspection, the fortress commander returned to the command post in the castle district, and his adjutant, a dark-haired brown man, a shrewd young man, was waiting here.

"General," the adjutant went forward, "The scouts sent back intelligence."

"Well," Maryland nodded. "Is the Titans moving again?"

“A group of engineering mage is building extra wall barriers and stables and barracks in the hilly land west of Winter Wolf Fort. The size is not small. It is not clear how many people can accommodate it, but it is certain that they have opened at least four new wells.”

"...the Black Steel Knights or the Iron River Knights are coming. They are all good at re-installing the forces that attack the fortress," Maryland said. "The Tifeng people should not wait too long."

The young adjutant did not speak, neither fear nor wavering, and his face was calm.

Maryland’s reaction to the young adjutant was secretly appreciative, then turned to the table and took a look at the report on the table.

"...the last batch of private soldiers who can be brought together also went to the defense line..." The commander of the fortress sighed softly. "After them, the whole east is afraid that even a thousand teams will not be able to come out." It is."

The status quo is worrying, but the facts are the facts - the soldiers are stretched, and the long-wind fortress has so many garrison forces.

The empire has just experienced a year-long civil war and a disaster that swept half of the plain of the Holy Spirit. The original kingdom’s main force was exhausted in successive battles, and now it can come in handy except for a few surviving elites. There are only the Cecil Army in the South, but at least half of these troops must remain in the country to maintain post-war order, and the number of soldiers who can send the Windward Fortress is limited. The superior has already put the most elite troops currently mobilized. And the most powerful weapons were sent, but Maryland knew that these were not enough.

The Tifeng people are also constantly increasing their troops, and they are constantly increasing their troops in the form of a group of magicians, knights, and superheroes. These troops are not able to be fired by ordinary heat ray guns and several medium-calibre fortress guns. Ordinary people who are easy to fight, have to deal with them, or the elite defenders of the Windward Fortress doubled, or they have to transport the Iron Throne to the defense line.

But neither of these two - Maryland has done its best to mobilize the aristocrats in the East, and a small number of mountain corps supported by the North, can only fill the loopholes in the defense, but as long as it is strongly impacted, These vulnerabilities may be broken within two days.

He must find ways to strengthen the garrison power of the fortress.

Maryland’s line of sight moved alongside the operational map, and its eyes slowly swept across the buffer zone on the border between the two countries, sweeping through the Titan’s Winter Wolf Fort and the several outposts that have been identified.

The primary criterion for defense is to protect itself, and there are many ways to protect yourself, either to make yourself invulnerable, to eliminate threats before they are hurt, or to let the enemy not attack.

The garrison power of the Changfeng Fortress may not increase, but he can try to make the Tifeng people mistakenly believe that the defenders of the fortress are still increasing.

In a meditation, a bold idea gradually formed, and Maryland raised his head and looked at his adjutant: "Let the reserve team of the Mountain Corps disguise as a businessman and a husband, secretly bring their flag and equipment, and distribute them in two days. Out of town, to the Karon Valley in the northwest."

The deputy officer stunned for a moment, a bit stunned: "And then?"

"Then I changed back to the equipment of the Mountain Corps and entered the city from the north gate of the fortress. When I entered the city, I would make a big move. Don't exaggerate it."

Two seconds later, the adjutant realized the intentions of Maryland. The young man showed a stunned expression and then admired the general: "Yes - you are a good way! I will arrange it!"

"It's not enough. I have to do a full set of dramas," Maryland added. "Isn't Tifeng people building a barracks near the Winter Wolf Fort? We also build a camp in the north and south of the fortress, and drill a well. The recruits were transferred to the new camp, where they were allowed to open fire to cook. In addition, they sent people to the territory of Count Robert, and used his horse-drawn team to transport the 'grass.'

"Yes!" The deputy officer went straight for a military ceremony, but he suddenly worried a little before leaving. "But the general, can you really hold the Tifeng people?"

"You can scare for a while, then they will definitely react, but it doesn't matter, as long as they can postpone their attack," Maryland said, not too slow, his eyes on the map next to it. "The rear engineering team is working overtime." The temporary railway was laid and the Iron Throne was about to be repaired. As long as the Tifeng people hesitated for a while... they couldn’t keep the wind fortress."

......

Cecil Empire, St. Sunil City.

Large-scale migration work has begun preparations, and Gao Wen’s desk is increasingly piled up with work reports on the move to the capital.

The coronation ceremony has ended, the signing ceremony of the nobility and the handover of the command of the old Royal Knights, Guards, Royal Shadow Guards, etc. have been completed. After the establishment of the newly established Office of Government, after a period of intensive adaptation and adaptation, Initially on the right track, the situation in St. Sunil was controlled, and the mission of the interim government came to an end. According to Gao Wen’s plan, the migration should be started.

St. Sunil's surface is magnificent, but in fact the infrastructure is backward, the old forces have a deep influence, and more importantly, the communication system is weak, and the command of the Cecil Corps is slow. It is not a good place to control the operation of the empire. The big thing is not to bring the relevant personnel and materials to the new place and even if it is finished - even if it is implemented from now on, it will take a whole year to completely complete the transfer and reconstruction of the dominant function.

Moreover, in this process, Gao Wen must also consider the short-term chaos caused by the transfer of the dominant function. To prevent this chaos from causing a chain reaction, it gives Tifeng a chance.

In the velvet study in Baiyinbao, Gao Wenzheng put the report he had read on his desk, and in addition to him, he also sat in his three large consuls.

“Aiden Alfred refused the position of the Office of Government Affairs, is it?” Gao Wen looked up and looked at Victoria Verde sitting opposite.

"Yes, he also resigned from the court position and honorary job title," Victoria replied. "He said he thanked you for his recruitment, but he is old and hopes to go home to recuperate."

Aiden Alfred, former Prime Minister of Francis II, a loyal old minister of the Ansu Kingdom, his family loyal to the Moen royal family from the time of the first dynasty, has been diligently serving hundreds of countries. year.

The talent of the former prime minister made Gao Wen want to be smashed, but his choice to refuse to take office is not as high as expected.

"Respect his choice," Gao Wen nodded slightly. "In addition, ask him if he would like to be the curator of the St. Sunil Library. This is not the position of the Administrative Office, and he can still keep the original collection of the royal family. If you still don't want to... let the old man go home, the Office of Political Affairs will give him a pension on a monthly basis."

Victoria nodded. "You think very carefully. He must not reject this position."

"Let's talk about moving the capital," Gao Wen adjusted his sitting position. "After I returned to Cecil, the affairs of St. Sunil were temporarily managed by Victoria and Paterson. You are responsible for the follow-up work, especially It is to complete the magic net laying from St. Sunil to the North and West, to ensure the establishment of communication. In addition, all Wangdu nobles, according to the size of the family, need to send a certain proportion of family members to settle in the south, this should not be Is it a problem?"

"Yes, they were mentally prepared when they moved to the order of the capital," Bai Dewen Franklin nodded, then chuckled. "Use the hostages in exchange for survival. This is also the survival rule of the traditional aristocracy." One of them."

"This is not a simple 'hostage', this is a necessary link to the dismantling and transformation of the old aristocracy... Of course, they still don't understand, this is normal," Gao Wen shook his head. "It doesn't matter, step by step. Herti How is the preparation for the renovation of Wangdao Avenue?"

“Gordon has already arrived in Pompeii. The materials and personnel have been in place before the completion of the soil survey.”

“Very good – this part of the work is very important, giving priority to ensuring financial support.” “Yes.”

Gao Wen gently sighed and felt that another job was on the right track.

Separating the kingdom can lead the ruler, but the empire does not allow the localities to be alone. For the centralized empire, ensuring transportation is a prerequisite for ensuring the order of the rule, especially for the Cecil Empire, which is now in need of rebuilding and urgently needing to rebuild order. This is the case - the reason why Gao Wen dared to move the state ruling from the central area to the south is because modern transportation technology can ignore this physical distance, and the modern road is to make the new vehicle fully effective. An important part.

From St. Sunul to the South, there is a Gorgon River as a transport artery and a kingdom avenue as a landline. Since last year, Victoria and the then Ansu royal family have been working on repairing the Kingdom Road, which has restored the function of this deserted road for nearly a hundred years. However, the Kingdom Road, which has been repaired according to the old standards, is not enough to withstand the traffic pressure of the new era. The previous cluster war also caused some damage to the kingdom avenue on the east bank of the Gorgon River. Therefore, from the actual situation, Gao Wen decided to send the engineering team in the south to rebuild a road connecting the north and the south of the empire on the basis of the old kingdom avenue. Come.

Tifeng has an "Imperial Avenue" and Cecil will have one in the future.

At the same time as this “Imperial Avenue” was built, Gao Wen also planned to build a railway line connecting the north and the south on the west bank of the Gorgon River, and to extend the railway line to the east and west directions with St. Sunil as the center. Form a new "cross artery".

Of course, this will be a large, time-consuming and labor-intensive project that takes a long time to complete, but no matter how much it is consumed, the artery must be established – this will be the starting point for the centuries-old foundation of the Empire.

It will take a long time to complete the new cross artery before it can be completed. The railway connecting the north and the south should be built very quickly because of the short distance. When it comes from the south to the "old capital", there will be rivers, highways and railways. The three major transportation lines, from St. Sunier to the north, will also be connected by roads and railways. The traffic between the north and the south of the empire will be extremely convenient. On the one hand, national security and stability will be ensured, on the other hand, from the northern mountains The veins can also be quickly transported to meet the growth of the hungry industrial behemoth of Cecil.

As for now, although there are no railways and highways between the South and St. Sunni, due to the convenience of the Gorgon River and the efficiency of the new mechanical boat, there is no need to worry too much about the traffic problem - the development of the Gorgon River is also high. Wen dared to start one of the reasons for moving to the capital at this time.

"There is another thing," after reporting the progress of the road construction project, Herti spoke again. "The ancestor, the Iron Throne has been repaired."
