Arc of Gunfire

At 1730 on September 8, outside the city of Barras, the headquarters of the Ante Expeditionary Force.

Wang Zhong had discovered early on from a bird's-eye view that King Tutka of Barras and the Plosson Empire's plenipotentiary ambassador Schmidt were being escorted here.

He walked to the map naturally, pretending to be concerned about the war situation in the city.

During this period, Wang Zhong understood more and more about the actions of a five-star general on Earth. Image and publicity are very important, and they determine how many resources you can get and how much credit you can get.

The five-star general on Earth rose step by step by relying on publicity, while George Patton, who was better at fighting, remained a four-star general until his death.

It's a pity that Wang Zhong doesn't smoke, otherwise he could take a pipe and completely imitate the "five-star critic".

The door opened with a bang, and the commando sent to pursue the fleeing king came in with two prisoners, one fat and one thin.

The thin prisoner was wearing a Plosson military uniform, and the dark color scheme looked out of place in the geographical environment of Barras.

Wang Zhong turned his head in surprise, and when he saw the two men, he exclaimed: "Did they really catch these two people on that road?"

"Yes." The captain of the naval infantry saluted and said loudly, "General, your foresight is really amazing. When we arrived, they just happened to escape!"

Wang Zhong: "Hahahaha, I don't have any foresight, I just made reasonable logical inferences. It was Chief of Staff Pavlov who determined that the enemy would wait for the plane on this road."

Pavlov: "I am just familiar with the geographical information of the battlefield, and I just remembered that the Prosen people built this road. It was mainly because the general judged the enemy's movements."

Wang Zhong accepted the compliment without hesitation, and then leisurely walked to Schmidt - well, now theoretically Wang Zhong didn't know that this German was called Schmidt, anyway, he walked to this guy.

"Why don't I remember that Plossen has regular troops in Barras?"

Schmidt smiled and answered in a fairly standard Ant language: "We are staff members of the embassy in Barras, and we were ordered to rescue King Barras and establish an exiled government in Plossen."

Wang Zhong: "Oh, so. You are a colonel, and this operation is of a high level."

"Of course." Schmidt replied, "We attach great importance to His Majesty Tutka, the king of Barras."

Wang Zhong: "What route did you take out of the city?"

"An ancient tunnel left by the Plossen engineer who was responsible for building the Royal City of Barras. The relevant design drawings are only kept in the palace archives of our country, so you in the United Kingdom don't know about this." Schmidt looked at you in the United Kingdom.

Colonel Benjamin and several United Kingdom officers looked at each other.

Wang Zhong: "Very good, you almost succeeded. Then may I ask this colonel, what is your name?"

"You can call me Franz."

Wang Zhong raised his eyebrows.

Schmidt immediately changed his words: "Of course, I usually act under the name of Schmidt for this mission."

Only then did Wang Zhong realize that his micro-expression was exposed, revealing that he knew the man's name was Schmidt.

But he decided to continue pretending: "Oh, so. What is your real name? When our army enters Plossen in the future, if you behave well in the prisoner-of-war camp, we can try not to hurt your family."

Schmidt looked incredulous: "What did you say?"

"When we enter Plossen, we will treat the families of those Plossen prisoners who behaved well in the prisoner-of-war camp well." Wang Zhong repeated his words.

Schmidt was shocked: "Have you not paid attention to the domestic war reports for a long time? We are now advancing rapidly..."

Wang Zhong: "Yes, we are advancing rapidly according to our plan. Seris has a very famous and classic tactic called luring the enemy deep into our territory. I wonder if you know it?"

Schmidt looked unconvinced: "Are you trying to say that our rapid advance is your strategy? Then are you going to say that your tragic defeat on the battlefield last year was also a plan?"

"Those were not, I mean, those in summer and autumn were not. But the winter one was." Wang Zhong spread his hands, " At that time, the plan I made was to retreat to the front of the capital, stretch your supply lines, and completely cut off your supply during the muddy season. Then counterattack. I think it was executed well. "

Schmidt's expression became serious: "Are you saying that this time is also your strategy?"

"Yes." Wang Zhong nodded, "The same strategy as last time. Of course you don't believe it, but let me ask you, since May this year, your attack has been so smooth, so how many of our troops have you surrounded besides the Coastal Front Army?"

Schmidt opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish.

Wang Zhong: "No, you didn't surround and annihilate any of our troops, because these troops withdrew in an orderly manner. Of course, you still defeated some troops, but these troops were able to reorganize in the rear.

"Even if you look at the watered-down battle reports of your headquarters, the number of Ante troops you annihilated this year is much less than the same period last year. "

Schmidt was speechless.

Wang Zhong bent down, approached him, and gestured in front of him with one hand: "When the muddy period comes this year, your situation will be better than last year, but this time the supply line is farther and has to pass through Nan'ant, where the infrastructure in Ante is the worst.

"And at that time, we will use the troops who escaped from the summer and autumn battles to launch a counterattack on the entire front. You will have to divide your troops everywhere, and the troops attacking Abawahan will not get enough reinforcements or enough weapons. Supplies, and continuous fighting, I was exhausted and suffered huge equipment losses..."

Wang Zhong suddenly clenched his open fingers into a fist.

"We will surround it and destroy it!"

Schmidt shook his head: "No, no, your plan will not go so smoothly, and His Majesty is very determined. Even if you attack across the board, Your Majesty will mobilize more troops from the country."

"He won't! Because the Allied counterattack is about to begin, and the entire Mediterranean will burn! The Balkans will be like a volcano ready to go! And the Royal Air Force will bomb your Western Wall defenses, and the Royal Navy's naval guns will Bombard on time every day like an express train - you will be attacked from both sides!"

Wang Zhong showed a proud smile: "Then, you will suffer a humiliating defeat in Ant, and the Allies will suddenly realize that you are just a paper tiger. Yakov, throw over the pamphlet I wrote! "

Yakov immediately took out a pamphlet from the pile on the table and threw it over - this was one of the many pamphlets written by Wang Zhong when he was the dean of the Suvorov Military Academy. It mainly discussed why the enemy was bound to fail. .

Wang Zhong threw the pamphlet on the ground in front of the Pu Luo Sen and said to the naval infantry: "Untie him so that he can read."

The naval infantry immediately untied Schmidt and pushed his back, making him fall on Wang Zhong's pamphlet.

Wang Zhong turned to King Barras: "Hi, Your Majesty the King, do you want to be as stubborn as the Ambassador Plenipotentiary of Prosen?"

"No, no, no, I'll say my full name right away."

Then the fat king spit out a long list of names that Wang Zhong, a quasi-Ante, didn't even bother to remember.

Wang Zhong snapped his fingers: "Ask Meier to come over."

Soon Meyer Abdulla came over with Mistafa. The moment he saw His Majesty the King's back, Meyer's eyes burst into flames: "This bastard!"

He rushed up, kicked the king to the ground, then grabbed the necklace around his neck and pulled out the pendant: "Look at this! This is the finger bone of a child! I watched him starve to death in the village Under the tree at the door, I was very angry and rushed into the village to question these villains who were watching the child starve to death! Then I discovered that the whole village was starving to death and they really had no food to save this child!

"The whole village was starving to death! Every child was skin and bones! So I buried the poor child, took off his finger, and I vowed to bring it to the person who caused all this tragedy! It’s you!”

Wang Zhong immediately sympathized with Meier and said, "I'll leave this king to you, Meier. No, he is no longer the king."

Meier hesitated for a moment, then put away his hand bones and stood up: "No, this is not my personal revenge. He must be tried in public and then hanged!"

As he spoke, Meier looked at Wang Zhong: "Do we have to accept another king?"

Before Wang Zhong spoke, Emilia rushed to say: "Ante also has a king, I mean, the emperor, or your teacher's adopted sister. There is nothing wrong with having a king, Meyer Apudula, the king also It can be Mingjun."

Wang Zhong gently pushed Amelia away from him and said to Meier: "You can try all the roads and choose the best one. Before that, learn the skills first, the army Practice so that you can take control of your own choices in the future.”

Meyer glared at Emilia and nodded: "You are right."

At this time, King Tutka wailed: "Don't judge me! Don't judge me! I can abdicate or abdicate! Everyone in the United Kingdom, I will do anything. I don't want to resist you anymore!"

As he spoke, he crawled on the ground and crawled towards Emilia's feet, seemingly intending to kiss Emilia's shoes.

Emilia backed away with a look of disgust and distanced herself from them.

Wang Zhong: "He disgusts my friend. Take him down and wait for the people of Baras to decide his fate!"

Immediately, the navy infantry came up and dragged King Tutka away.

The king's cries can be heard long after he leaves his headquarters.

When the king's movements were finally no longer heard, Schmidt stood up.

The naval infantry immediately stepped forward to hold him down, but Wang Zhong waved his hand: "No, no need."

Then he walked up to Schmidt: "Do you have any insights? Your Antese should be enough for you to understand, right?"

Schmidt bit his lip: "I have to think about it, I have to think about it! No, I want to see if you succeed at the end of this year!"

Wang Zhong: "Okay, take him down and let him think carefully. By the way, give him a secular holy book and let him read and think carefully."

Wang Zhong waved his hand.
