Arc of Gunfire

Chapter 724 Main Attack Direction (9.4K)

March 20, Yekaterinburg, Summer Palace.

The commanders of the five major fronts, as well as the commander of the soon-to-be-established Khazaria Third Front in charge of the Carpathian Mountains, gathered in the operations room of the Summer Palace.

Among the six commanders, three were from Wang Zhong's fronts - including Wang Zhong himself.

There was also Marshal Gorky, the Minister of Military Affairs, in the meeting room, plus Wang Zhong's concurrent position as the Army Commander-in-Chief, so more than half of them were Rokossov's faction.

Wang Zhong was not worried at all that anyone would oppose his battle plan.

As soon as Kashukh entered the meeting room, he found Wang Zhong and said, "The defense of the Plossons on the northern front is stronger than we thought. I estimate that we can barely take Dunal before the start of the summer campaign and achieve the goal that General Andrei tried to achieve before.

"But because we are advancing very slowly, the enemy should be able to escape. "

Kashukh came to the map, picked up the map stick and gestured on it: "The enemy's Northern Army Group should retreat to the vicinity of Fort Tuknar. The terrain around this place is not suitable for attack, and there are many permanent fortresses.

"The most important thing is that they can rely on the sea transport line to obtain supplies and resist stubbornly.

"I wonder if we can borrow some more air forces from the United States Naval Aviation to destroy Plossen's transport ships."

Wang Zhong shook his head: "No, it's unlikely. They are going to launch a large-scale attack on the Fuso Empire this year. In February, they launched a landing operation in the Marshall Islands. The 58th Combined Fleet that provided support had ten aircraft carriers. With this intensity of deployment, the United States Naval Aviation must not have the spare capacity to support us. "

Kirienko suddenly said: "I heard that the United States adopted our strategy in the Marshall Islands, surrounding the islands that the Fuso Empire focused on defending but not attacking? ”

Wang Zhong: “This tactic is more suitable for naval warfare. As long as the planes on the airports on those islands are shot down and the runways are destroyed, the United States Navy will not be affected. The islands cannot produce food, and there are no civilians on the coral reefs. The soldiers will starve to death after a year of siege. ”

Marshal Gorky: “They call this the island-hopping tactic, and never mention that they refer to our tactics.”

Wang Zhong: “Your tactics.”

Marshal Gorky looks very happy.

Kirienko: “I also tried to launch an infiltration attack on the front line, but the effect was not good. There is a natural barrier of the river on the dividing line between our front and the enemy. The beachheads left over from the previous offensives cannot store supplies and attack troops. The attack must be launched from the east coast.”

Marshal Gorky: “Yes, we need to build a pontoon bridge first, but the Prosen people are very experienced in blocking the pontoon bridge. Their land Stuka self-propelled rocket launchers are amazingly accurate, and the 500mm caliber rockets have amazing explosive power, which is very effective in attacking pontoon bridges. ”

Kirienko: “So my plan is to make an offensive posture on the front and let the engineering troops build a fake pontoon bridge.”

Marshal Gorky raised his eyebrows: “Fake pontoon bridge? How fake is it?”

“It looks very similar to a real pontoon bridge, but it is actually made of wood, and there is no way for tanks to cross the bridge. This fake pontoon bridge is very simple to build, after all, it is made of wood and very light.

“An engineering brigade can build a pontoon bridge three times a day. Such intensity will make the Prosen people think that we must launch a large-scale breakthrough.”

Kirienko showed a wicked smile.

“But in fact, our combat troops are all resting, waiting for the friendly forces on the southern front to launch a major breakthrough and encirclement and then chase and annihilate the remaining enemies.”

Wang Zhong: “The troops on the southern front are under great pressure.”

“We are under great pressure.” General Belyakov of the Berisk Front scratched his bald head-Wang Zhong always felt that Ante’s generals were particularly bald, and the two generals in his own headquarters were also bald.

Is this actually an infectious disease? Will you lose all your hair automatically after you get the rank of general?

General Belyakov: "From the time we issued the order to now, we have made 5,000 pairs of 'swamp shoes' and given them to the troops for training in the swamp. As a result, the troops suffered terribly and questioned that these shoes were a fantasy and could not allow people to move in the swamp at all."

Wang Zhong: "Let that Baba Yaga sergeant major train them!"

General Belyakov: "There is only one sergeant major, and he is currently training the teaching team. I think it will be too late to wait for the people in the teaching team to master it before training the ordinary troops, so I issued the newly made shoes.

"But now all the troops are complaining and reporting a lot of casualties in training. We can only suspend the training of ordinary troops.

"If we launch an attack in April, we may not be able to complete all preparations."

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry about this. Our plan for April is another offensive, which will be implemented by the Khazaria Third Front, which is about to be formed."

Commander of the Khazaria Third Front: "We will launch an attack on the Carpathian Mountains. After reconnaissance, we have determined the positions of the Moravian troops and the Sardinian Kingdom troops. The focus of the attack will be launched on the sections they defend, and feints will be launched in other sections to contain the enemy's troops.

"We have also contacted the Moravian troops, and they may revolt on the battlefield."

Marshal Gorky: "It is possible. Moravia has sent secret envoys to contact us. Their king may withdraw from the empire dominated by the Prosen people."

Wang Zhong: "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it, and when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter."

"What?" Marshal Gorky raised his eyebrows.

Wang Zhong: "There is a proverb in Serris, which says that when a person is about to fail, his subordinates will scatter like birds and beasts."

Everyone in the room laughed.

At this moment the door opened, and Tsarina Olga, accompanied by her ladies, entered the room.

Wang Zhong and others quickly stood up and paid attention to Olga.

"Generals, you should already have an attack plan, right?" Olga asked with a smile.

"We are gathered here precisely to report this to you." Marshal Gorky said.

Olga: "Then where is the main direction of attack?"

"Berisky Front, they will break through the swamp. There are only a few enemy 25th wave infantry divisions on the front. Their equipment is very poor, and their training and morale are also very bad." Marshal Gorky said and glanced at General Belyakov. .

General Belyakov: "As long as we can successfully cross the swamp, we can be sure that we will achieve continuous and huge breakthroughs, because there are really not many Ploson troops on the other side of the swamp, and we will cut off the enemy's Northern Army Group in one fell swoop. terrestrial connections with the mainland.

"But General Kashukh also said just now that the enemy can rely on sea transportation lines to maintain supplies."

Olga: "Can't you borrow some more HNA from the United States?"

Wang Zhong: "They have just started to counterattack, and HNA pilots are very busy. This year, the United States is expected to launch at least two counterattacks in the Pacific, one in the Mariana Islands, and one - I think it is Borneo."

"Mariana Turkey Hunt" and "Battle of Leyte Gulf", these two battles left a lot of famous jokes that military fans talk about, such as "The whole world wants to know where Halsey is." .

Olga looked at Wang Zhong in surprise: "You even know naval warfare, my brother!"

Wang Zhong: "I understand a little bit. In short, we don't want to borrow the naval aviation forces of the United States this year, but our own air force can also try to prevent the enemy's maritime transportation."

Kashuch: "I'll let the Air Force give it a try, but to be honest, with their level of training, it's a bit difficult to hit a moving ship."

The average training level of the Ant Air Force is worrying, and only the pilots of the meritorious force are all elite.

Wang Zhong skipped the question of the air force and continued: "Before the Belisk Front takes action, the Third Kozalia Front will take action to launch an attack on the Carpathians. The Moravians are already in a state of war weariness. Their king also extended an olive branch to us.

"We are preparing to break through the Carpathians and then outflank Ploson from the south."

"Outflanking a country!" Olga laughed, "Three years ago I couldn't have imagined that such a thing would happen."

Wang Zhong: "Actually, we have no way to complete the outflank, because there are too many mountains. If we can threaten Werner and Buda, it will be considered a success."

Olga: "Didn't Buda come into contact with us? They are also second-class citizens in the empire, right? After all, they are the close relatives of our Ant based on their racial classification."

Marshal Gorky: "Yes, but the level of contact is very low. His Royal Highness the Prince who leads Buda is married to the princess of the Prosen Empire, so he is quite hesitant about defecting."

Olga: "How about I write him a letter? The church keeps the Tsar just for this moment. I have to play my role well."

Wang Zhong looked at his god-sister and thought that she understood his situation very clearly. She would probably abdicate on her own initiative after the war.

It seems that he will hurry up and build his villa by the White Sea. Where did Olga talk about it last time?

Wang Zhong tried hard to recall the place names that Olga had mentioned to him.

At this time Olga asked: "After the two feign attacks, is it time for the Kosalia Front to attack?"

"No, it's not a feigned attack." Marshal Gorky said, "We are really preparing to make breakthroughs in these directions. Even if there is no attack by the Kosalia Front, success in these directions may severely damage the Prosen Empire. The southern front may Let Moravia withdraw from the empire, and even let Buda withdraw from the empire, and surround the enemy with a heavy troop group on the northern front, forcing Proson to divert his forces by sea. "

"It's just me, it's a feint attack." Kirinenko said, "Even the pontoon bridge of my unit is a fake pontoon bridge, just to show it to the Plosen people."

Olga suddenly became interested: "Fake floating bridge? What is this tactic about?"

Kirinenko quickly stated it.

Olga: "It's really interesting. That idea king named Vasily was transferred to your headquarters?"

"No, it was the young man from our headquarters who came up with it, but he did refer to Marshal Rokossov's fake tank tactics. In short, the Prosin people found so many fake pontoon bridges and thought that our main attack direction was on the Western Front. ”

Olga: "I actually don't quite understand. All the front armies are moving, but only the Salia front army is standing still. Won't the enemy guess something?"

Wang Zhong: "But Salia's First Front Army will continue to carry out armed reconnaissance, showing off - no, not showing off, but arrogantly preparing for an attack. This is a smoke bomb for the Prosen people, with the purpose of attracting The Prosens put their elite troops before us.

"When a large-scale victory is achieved in other directions, the enemy will think that they have been sidelined and hurriedly withdraw troops from Army Group South."

"Then you attack," Olga said.

"Then we attack."

Olga clapped her hands vigorously: "Okay! I like this plan and have a feeling it will succeed."

————

"Brother!" Emperor Prossen waved his hand vigorously, "Your judgment on the front line is never right! Especially for Rokossov! I am the person who knows Rokossov best in Prossen! His Khazalia Front is preparing to attack, so he doesn’t want to attack in other directions!”

Celtic Marshal: "But the First Front of Zalia is the strongest, with a large number of guards and the best equipment. Even if the preparation for the attack is just a cover-up, we still have to guard against it. In case it breaks through If we head towards the Baltic Sea and outflank it, the situation will be terrible."

Emperor Prosen: "We can make Rokossov mistakenly think that we have a large number of troops in front of us, and actually mobilize the troops to other places."

Marshal Celtic: "This won't work. Other front armies will capture prisoners and seize our documents and maps. Soon they will know that many of the troops they are facing are still deployed in Rokosov in April. Salia's First Front is here.

"As long as Rokossov is not a fool, he will be able to judge that the military force in front of him is just an empty shell and a showpiece."

Emperor: "With your statement, do you assume that our defense will fail? Why can't our defense forces capture Rokossov—the maps and documents of the Ants?"

Marshal Celtic: "Because we all have military common sense. Earlier this year, the enemy's St. Andrew's Front had already turned to the offensive. They even fought against us in the forest and snowy fields despite the influence of mud.

"We failed to stop the offensive of St. Andrew's Front, Your Majesty!"

The emperor sat on the chair and closed his mouth tightly, as if there was a zipper between his lips.

At this time, the secret agent leader of the Imperial Palace opened the door directly and came in. He ran to the emperor and bent down, whispering in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we have received conclusive evidence that the Moravians are negotiating separately with the Ant people. Maybe they are going to withdraw from the empire. "

"What?" The emperor raised his head, "Back then, they wanted to send all the princesses to me to sleep with, so that they could gain the right to be second-class citizens in the empire. Now they actually want to betray us? Is the news confirmed?"

The spy chief of the Imperial Household Ministry nodded: "OK."

After a brief hesitation, the emperor said: "Get Otto Skoczeny, now, right away!"

The head of the Secret Service of the Imperial Palace: "Are you planning to assassinate the King of Moravia and take the crown back to you?"

"No." The emperor said after a short pause, "I just asked Otto to reason with His Majesty the King of Moravia."

————

After Otto heard the contents of the task, he went directly to the water dispenser, took a full glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

Then he started to take the second cup.

Emperor: "So you have no confidence, Brigadier General Otto?"

"Ah? Yes, of course I have confidence. I will find a way to ensure King Moravel's loyalty."

"Moravia," the emperor corrected.

"Ah yes, Moravia, I didn't waste time remembering the names of the second-class citizens, I mean, the names of the ethnic groups."

The emperor looked at the water dispenser in confusion: "I remember that it was mineral water, not wine?"

"Of course it's not wine." Otto wiped his sweat, "Then I'll set off."

"In order to complete this operation, you have the power to mobilize everything you want!" The emperor emphasized loudly.

Otto saluted the emperor, turned around, and strode out of the room.

He went straight to the quartermaster's office and asked the quartermaster: "You know the emperor promised that I can mobilize everything that can be mobilized to complete my mission, right?"

The quartermaster looked confused: "Huh? Well, I don't know. But I think you are right. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Otto: "I want fifty Prossian sausages, 20 cans of frozen meat, and 20 cans of soybeans. Hurry!"

Quartermaster: "Do you have to carry so many heavy things yourself?"

"No, I'm going to requisition three Guard Corps soldiers and let them carry these things back to my house. These Guard Corps soldiers will return to the team later."

The quartermaster looked at Otto with an expression of "I understand," but was ignored by him.

Thirty minutes later, Otto brought a truck of food, accompanied by soldiers from the Sanming Guard Regiment—home!

————

April 10, 917, the southernmost Carpathian defense line of the front, 0600 hours.

Kosrek smoked a cigarette and asked Andreas: "How far will it take to go home to visit relatives from here? I mean, can I get home before the end of the family leave by walking?"

Andreas thought for a while and replied: "It should take two months to walk. It's all mountainous and difficult to walk."

Kosrek: "Then I need more time. My home is near the original border of the Prosen Empire. The Carolingian defense line is sixty kilometers east of my home. You can see it from near the border. To the Carolingian turrets and fortresses.”

Andreas: "You...don't you live on the southwest border of the empire? You have to cross the empire to go home."

"yes."

At this moment, the company commander hurriedly ran into the two men's bunker.

Kosrek: "You also want me to promise that you won't die?"

The company commander looked at him doubtfully: "What?"

"Sorry, don't pay attention."

Company Commander: "Listen, there are bad rumors from the Moravian troops next door. They seem to have surrendered to the Ants. I need to form a patrol team to check out the situation."

Andreas said angrily: "It's the Moravians again! How many times has our defense collapsed because of the Moravians along the way? Every time we blocked the attack of Ant's cloaked cockroach, and then The Moravians were broken through by Ant's common troops.

"How many military guards titles did they give to Ant? They are simply cloak wholesalers!"

Company Commander: "That's not important! I need veterans to lead the patrol. Which one of you will go?"

"Let's go together," Koslake said.

Company Commander: "No! I can't risk losing the most experienced sergeant and the second most experienced sergeant on the team at the same time. If the damn Anters break through, we will need your experience!"

Andreas raised his hand: "I'll go. My home is just a few hundred kilometers away. It's also a mountainous area. The mountains are connected to the Carpathian Mountains. They are in the same mountain range. I'm more familiar with mountain warfare."

The company commander looked at Andreas and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, go to the chief of staff immediately to get the equipment. We will set off in half an hour!"

…

Half an hour later, Andreas looked at the ten infantrymen who had gathered in front of him.

Everyone has a childish face.

Andreas asked the tall, lanky man at the front of the row: "How old are you?"

"Eighteen, sergeant."

"Nonsense! You have to serve in a labor camp for six months and train for another six months. You can't be eighteen!"

The tall and lanky man: "I only trained for six months and did not go to the labor camp. The instructor said it was too late, and the Western Wall began to be built by requisitioning local people."

Andreas stared at the front of the row for a few seconds, then asked the next one: "Are you eighteen too?"

"Yes. But Sergeant, I spent two years in the Asgardian Youth Corps! I am completely loyal to His Majesty and the great cause of Prosin!"

Andreas shook his head and looked at the next one.

Before he could speak, the boy replied loudly: "I am also eighteen years old! And I have been to a labor camp because I lied about my age! I just came back from the labor camp last year!"

Andreas shook his head, turned to the company commander and said: "They are all children! Even ordinary Ant troops cannot be defeated like this! Not to mention those cloaked cockroaches!"

Company Commander: "They are ready to die for you! Isn't that enough?"

Andreas: "But you came to me to bring them back safely, didn't you?"

Before the company commander could reply, the tall and thin man who was first asked by Andreas sang the Prospero Proscen national anthem "Forever Praise My Light" loudly.

He also stamped the floor with his leather boots to time the song.

"The land where blue flowers bloom

"Our noble hometown

"The magnificent song resounds in the sky

“God’s blessing will always be with us

"In praise of the victory of the motherland, Prosonia

"Noble is the will to win

"Prove to the entire universe that ideal love

“God’s blessing will always be with us, Prosonia

"Make us proud of our steel nation!"

Andreas was speechless: "Okay, very good, at least your morale is high. Then let's go!"

After saying that, he took the submachine gun and walked towards the mountain without looking back.

They now belong to the 5th Chasseur Division. Although they have the name of Chasseurs, they are actually mainly a group of new recruits. The Prosen unit that Andreas originally belonged to, which only has a glorious tradition, has been assigned the name by Rokosov. They were killed, and those who survived were all scattered and organized into other troops.

As Andreas walked, he said to the group of child soldiers behind him: "Our destination is the Moravia troops on the hill next door. If they have given up their defense line, they will encounter the Ant troops halfway.

"Remember, don't get entangled with the Ant troops in the woods. The cape of the cloaked cockroach is a very good camouflage in the woods, and only some of our troops are issued with the latest camouflage uniforms."

The 5th Chasseur Division did not have camouflage uniforms, and all soldiers wore the gray uniforms common to the Prossen army.

The tall and thin man: "I heard it was because the manufacturer of camouflage uniforms was destroyed by enemy bombers. These bastards!"

"My sister was also killed by an enemy bomber."

"I heard that they set the entire city on fire in February and even attacked rescue convoys! Damn it, the enemy is really not human!"

"Shut up," Andreas said calmly.

"What's wrong? Do you think the enemy did the right thing?"

Andreas: "I don't think the enemy did the right thing, but -"

He thought about it and decided not to give the recruits a chance to report him to the chain dog.

Just then, a crackling sound interrupted the conversation.

Of course Andreas knew it was the sound of bullets hitting the surroundings, so he found a tree and hid behind it.

The bullet tore through the bark of the tree, creating a massive splinter of wood that slashed Andreas' face.

The other recruits didn't even realize what was going on. The bodies of the three recruits straightened up. This was the effect of nerve twitches after being shot.

They fell straight back, with doubts on their faces - yes, the recruits didn't even realize that they were shot to death, they just felt doubts.

Andreas: "It's a weight launcher! Don't hide behind a tree for too long, this thing can break the whole tree!"

After saying that, he rushed out while taking advantage of the enemy's fire, and opened fire while running towards the next tree.

A recruit asked loudly: "Where should I shoot?"

Only then did Andreas remember that the sound of the gunfire from the weight launcher was very small, out of proportion to the crackling sound of bullets hitting the surroundings, and the recruits could not tell the direction of the enemy.

Hiding behind the next tree, Andreas temporarily put down the submachine gun, took out the flare gun, loaded the flare, and then fired in the direction of the bullet.

"Fire in the direction of the flare!"

The next moment, the recruits started shooting unevenly.

Andreas threw down the flare gun and picked up the submachine gun to change the magazine.

At this time, a veteran in Ant's cloak appeared and raised his gun the moment he met Andreas.

Andreas rolled directly and avoided the attack of the scale launcher.

Fortunately, there is now a lot of vegetation, and the Anters cannot continue to "follow the gun."

He pulled out the grenade, pulled the string, threw it back, and started running.

There was an explosion and someone screamed.

Andreas ran past the child soldier he led and grabbed his arm: "Run quickly, stop shooting! The Ant people are here, which means that the Moravians have surrendered, and the surrounding mountains should They are all Ant troops! Run! We have to join up with the main force of the division before we can break out."

After hearing this, the remaining five recruits hurriedly followed his footsteps, and the group of people ran along the way they came.

The Ant people kept shooting and could not hear the sound of gunfire, but bullets kept hitting the trees around them, making crackling sounds.

At this moment, MG42 made a sound like tearing a canvas.

The moment he heard this voice, Andreas's heart was relieved. He knew that the shooter must be Kosrek.

Kosrek would not let the Ants kill him - obviously Kosrek had not made such a promise, but Andreas was so convinced.

————

By this evening, the situation had become clear.

The company commander pointed to the simple map: "The hills around us have been occupied by the Ants, and the Moravians have also switched sides. Now they are the enemy. They will open fire when they see people wearing Prosen uniforms.

"We can't wait to die here. The communication with the division headquarters has not been cut off yet, which means that the area around the phone line may be safe. We have to break out at night. Andreas, you lead a squad to the front, and Kosrek holds the line. , I'm in the middle.

"I know you dislike the new recruits, but now we are the only three who can take them out!"

Kosrek: "I never promised to take the new recruits out."

Andreas: "But you're going to take me out, aren't you?"

Kosrek was silent for a few seconds and asked: "Where can we go? The rebellion of the Moravia troops is definitely not an isolated case. Maybe the Moravia behind us is already enemy territory.

"Where can we go?"

Company Commander: "In addition to the 1st and 2nd Moravia Army in Moravia, we also have our 20th Army! The 20th Army will not sit back and watch this country stab us in the back. As long as we withdraw, we can fight with the 20th Army Other troops, let’s teach the Moravians a lesson together!

"Okay, let's go."

————

While a company of the 5th Jäger Division was making a difficult breakthrough, the Brandenburg troops led by Otto rushed into the palace of the King of Moravia.

The palace guards had no intention of fighting and surrendered after receiving fire.

The guard captain was brought to Otto, with a smile on his face.

Otto: "Why are you laughing?"

"For us, this damn war is over, and my two brothers on the front line can go home." The guard captain grinned, "Shouldn't I be smiling?"

Otto slapped him twice: "Asshole! Don't you have a sense of honor as a soldier?"

The captain of the guard asked back: "Do you have one, Mr. Officer of Prosen? I know you. You are known as the most dangerous man in Europa. When Prosen is defeated, you will be hanged!"

Otto's face twitched.

At this time the King of Moravia was brought out by the Brandenburg commandos.

The king looked solemn: "Otto Koltz, I knew it was you who came to me. But I have made up my mind. It was a mistake for Moravia to get on Proson's chariot. I will correct it today!" "

Otto: "You have been bewitched by the secularists, Your Majesty the King!"

"Maybe." The king still held his head high, "But my decision is good for all Moravians, and it will definitely not be wrong! From now on, their war is over!"

"No, their war has just begun!" Otto replied, "Do you think the 20th Army will let this betrayal go? The 20th Army still has 200,000 Prosen soldiers!"

"Really? It's only 200,000? Seven hundred thousand Ant troops have already crossed the border, and there are also our 300,000 people. I think the 20th Army will definitely have no time to take care of the second-class citizens of Moravia."

Otto thought for a moment and said, "I want your little finger from your Majesty the King. It will not affect your future life."

King Moravia stared at Otto in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"It's just a little finger." After Otto said this, he directly took the king's hand, took out a tactical dagger, raised the knife, and cut off the first joint of the little finger.

The king howled like a slaughtering pig.

Otto turned his gun and used a submachine gun to kill all the Brandenburg soldiers in the room.

He grabbed the gun and rushed out of the door, shouting as he ran: "The special forces of the Tribunal of Ant are in the city! There is also Komanda! Escape quickly!"

The soldiers of the Brandenburg troops were all confused, but they trusted "the most dangerous man in Europa" and organized an orderly retreat.

At this time, King Moravia also reacted and shouted to the guard captain: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Take their gun and shoot into the sky!"

Guard Captain: "Ah? Do you want to do this?"

"Go quickly!"

The guard captain picked up the dead Brandenburg soldier's gun and was about to shoot into the air when he suddenly discovered that a Prussian soldier was still alive and immediately pulled the trigger to make up for it.

Then he rushed to the balcony and started firing at the heads of the retreating Brandenburg troops below.

The King of Moravia took the medical kit from the Brandenburg soldiers and said, "Huh, what will he do if I don't testify for him? He will definitely be hanged now!"

"But...he saved my life. There are smart people among the Prossens."

————

April 12th, the heart of the Prosen Empire, the Eagle's Nest.

Emperor Prosen looked at the little finger in the jewelry box in front of him without saying a word.

The head of the secret agent of the Imperial Palace asked Otto: "How are you going to prove that this is the finger of the King of Moravia?"

Otto: "I guarantee it with my honor and character."

"That thing is worthless!" shouted the spy chief.

"Enough!" the emperor roared, turning the ferocious spy chief into a docile kitten.

The emperor raised his head and looked at the spy chief: "The Moravians have been in contact with the Allies for so long, and the Allied comanda has been embedded in the capital, and you are not aware of it!

"The Krat Bureau has warned of this possibility in advance!"

But the information from the Truck Bureau was all blown out by a certain braggart! (See Little John Khan’s hardcore ruthless series)

Of course, Emperor Prosen didn't know this.

In fact, someone present probably discovered the secret of the Clutter Bureau.

General Moltke had a strange expression on his face, but he didn't say anything.

Emperor Prosenia closed the lid of the jewelry box: "Display this in the Imperial History Museum in Prosennia. This is an important piece of evidence. Now, gentlemen, let's discuss the situation of the battle. The 20th Army Group, fighting alone, can stop The coalition of Ant and Moravia?"

The Celtic marshal sighed: "Absolutely not. Originally we had to rely on the defense lines in the mountains and the Moravians to block it. Now we can only deploy troops and set up defenses along the Doma River to try to block the enemy in Buda. Outside the basin, once inside the basin, Ant's armored forces can run in the flat basin. "

Emperor: "Approximately how many troops are needed to stop the Anters' breakthrough?"

"At least half a million, Your Majesty."

The emperor let out a long sigh and said to the Celtic marshal: "Deploy 300,000 troops, plus the original 200,000 troops for 20 episodes, and we must resist it no matter what!

"This time it's our turn to defend the country, so mobilize the People's Stormtroopers as much as possible to stop the Ants just like the Ants stopped us in Abavahan!"

"yes."

After a brief hesitation, the Celtic marshal asked: "Your Majesty, are you starting the next phase of mobilization?"

The emperor asked doubtfully: "Can we continue to the next stage of mobilization? Aren't we already fully mobilized?"

"Yes, but we can further relax the recruitment standards. The physical fitness of 16-year-old children is no different from that of 18-year-olds. After training, they can also master the use of guns and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

"There are also men over 50 years old who can also be recruited into the army as combatants."

"Fifty years old??" the emperor said angrily, "People over fifty years old have to urinate at night! Do we have enough industrial capacity to produce so many chamber pots?"

No one answered.

The emperor sat slumped in his seat: "Okay, further expand the recruitment scope and incorporate all males between the ages of 16 and 55 into the Imperial Defense Force."

After a brief silence, the emperor, who had been preaching that the light of technology would replace the grace of God, murmured: "May God bless us."

After speaking, he began to hum the national anthem that the Prussian Empire has used for decades:

"The land where blue flowers bloom

"Our noble hometown

"The magnificent song resounds in the sky

“God’s blessing will always be with us

"Praise to the victory of the motherland, Prosonia!"
