I will be crowned king

In order to eliminate the hidden danger of the Yisel Elf as soon as possible, Hantu was completely tied to Clovis's chariot. Clovis spent all his money; not only did he allow the other party to purchase arms on credit, he even took the initiative to provide a loan - -While Carlos II was still alive - at the same time, in the name of expanding armaments, the scale of purchasing agricultural products from Hantu was increased.

Considering that Hantu has just ended the Holy War and a large number of soldiers have not returned to their original positions, the size of the legion is likely to exceed that during the Hantu War. Clovis very thoughtfully prepared an arms reserve equivalent to 100,000 people, including the Not limited to guns and ammunition, cloth for making military uniforms and luggage, and even a hundred artillery pieces.

Of course, most of these are still on the books and need to be dispatched from various factories and arsenals, but as long as Hantu opens his mouth, what should be given will definitely be given.

Since the friendly army's bank account is so rich, and most likely it will not be withdrawn all at once, then as a shareholder of the bank - as Anson himself thinks - he should divert part of his advanced consumption and invest in some more promising stocks - -For example, myself - it doesn’t seem to be a big deal, right?

Unfortunately, not everyone thinks so.

"The Ring of Order is above, my Commander-in-Chief, please don't cause me any more trouble."

In the Eagle Point City Fortress, Colonel Leo, who had just been the commander-in-chief of the fortress for two months, looked helpless: "I really don't have what you want here!"

"It can have this." Facing his former subordinate, Anson smiled without changing his face: "Don't think I don't know. There are nearly 50,000 rifles in the arsenal of Eagle Point City."

"There are so many things that I don't want to add, but that one is..." Leo's words stopped suddenly, and his face was surprised: "Wait, where did you get the information? I only found out after checking the list after I came here."

"Ah...so the arsenal in Eagle Point City really has 50,000 rifles?"

"You, you defrauded me?!"

"Just kidding, you are an old man from the Storm Legion, how could I use such low-level methods?" Anson's face was filled with a deep smile:

"It's just a normal speculation... Eagle Point City is a military fortress. It is normal to have arms reserves of two or three infantry regiments. In addition, Clovis has already passed the arms support to Hantu, so it must have been A lot of goods have been shipped here one after another, but why is it 50,000..."

Anson did not continue speaking, but turned his attention to the little clerk on the side, who immediately came forward with understanding: "Before coming, we received information from the postal department and the railway committee about several recent factories and warehouses in the south. After checking the material transfer procedures, we found about 50,000 rifles, as well as a large inventory of gunpowder and lead bullets. Colonel Leo, do you have any clues?"

"...Forget it, I surrender."

Facing the very friendly eyes of the two people, Leo raised his hands with a wry smile: "I admit that there are indeed so many weapons and equipment in the arsenal of Eagle Point City, but these are all recorded on the list of the Army Department, and we will soon be with them. What should I do if the quantity of materials delivered by Hantu does not match?"

"Simple, the key to delivery is to check the accounts and confirm that the list is consistent with the number of goods, so we just need to make sure that the number and materials are completely matched." The little secretary took the topic:

"Assuming, of course, this is just a simple assumption, that if we need to deliver 50,000 rifles and corresponding arms to Hantu, we can first use the name of Hantu to 'lease' the weapons and equipment on hand from the Ranger Corps. Then 'transfer' them to Eagle Point City Fortress for storage, and then use the leased weapons to complete the delivery. These weapons fall into the hands of Hantu, and they only need to return these weapons to the Rangers."

"Before that, the arms in the Eagle Point City warehouse can be distributed in advance to the 30,000 newly recruited soldiers of the Ranger Corps." The little secretary took a deep breath: "The materials are still the same, and the people are still the same. , just by changing the name, the effect can be doubled or even tripled."

Looking at Alan Dawn, who was gesturing three fingers to himself with a confident face, Colonel Leo, who had been silent for half a minute, took a deep breath and turned to look at his old boss: "I agree to your request, but I have a condition."

"I know what you want, no problem." Anson raised the corner of his mouth: "But I also have a condition."

"Speaking!"

Leo answered extremely decisively. As a front-line commander who was born as a big soldier, he already hated settling accounts, the most painful trouble in the world; Allen, who was able to support the entire logistics of the Storm Legion by himself in the past, ·If Daun comes over, no matter how much he pays, he will definitely make a profit!

"Don't worry, it's nothing too troublesome. It won't embarrass you." Anson did not forget to continue to comfort him: "I just hope that Eagle Point City can provide logistical support for the Rangers, and can provide the maximum It’s just satisfying to the limit.”

"That's it? Then you can rest assured."

Leo smiled: "From the day I was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this fortress by the Ministry of War, I knew that Clovis was about to take action against the Ysel elves, and you would most likely lead the army."

"Please don't worry, sir. I know the reason why I'm here. As long as it can be done, I will never refuse. If necessary, let me personally escort the baggage to the front line; or give me a regiment to help you." I will never refuse to fill in trenches!”

"Well, that's not necessary. It's just that my supply lines may be a bit too large this time."

"That's okay. I'm not afraid to tell you that the transportation capacity of Eagle Point City is quite abundant at the moment and can fully support multiple logistics lines." Leo looked very confident:

"When the Southern Legion was still there, the roads around the fortress had been renovated. At the same time, due to the prosperity of commerce, there were many new trade routes that did not exist before. If the local chamber of commerce is activated, the logistics force can be further improved."

"That's good, because I need you to get me four supply lines at once."

"I didn't ask at all... how much?!"

……………………

"Yes, you heard it right. This time I will divide the legion into four and launch an attack on the Elf Kingdom of Yser at the same time!"

Rewinding time to ten days ago, Anson, who was still on the way, was talking to the map in the battalion commander: "Split the Ranger Corps into four parts, and at the same time, look towards the four gaps in the Elf Kingdom of Iser, which is Qiaowang. Trails, jungle paths, Soldier Pass and Eagle Point City to launch an attack."

"The reason is very simple. Regardless of whether the Yser elves are stupid or not, when Eagle Point City is firmly controlled by Clovis, they can definitely think of setting up tight defenses east of Eagle Point City and stationing the vast majority of their troops there. "The enemy is waiting for work and fighting on his own soil. Against invaders like us, the advantage is unprecedentedly huge."

"In such a head-on battle, even though our side has the advantages of logistics and military strength, we rely on heavy artillery to open the way, conquer one fortress one by one, kill all the enemy's defense lines, suppress all resistance, and wait until our army arrives at the Royal Court of Yser , we still have to face a heavily fortified fortress that requires a long-term siege to have any hope of breaking through."

"If our enemy is only the Yser elves, then such tactics are feasible; brutal suppression and large-scale annihilation wars can greatly alleviate the pressure of post-war control and occupation." Anson sighed at this, A wry smile appeared on his face:

"But it is a pity that our real enemy in this war is the empire; the emperor's army will not give us three to six months to completely defeat the Yser elves."

"Two months is the only time the Ministry of War and the National Assembly can accept. After two months, the Yser Elf War must end. The Ranger Corps must lead the Hantu army to move west immediately to support the southern fortress and the western front. The other legions; we only have two months!"

At the same time as the words fell, the bayonet drawn on the map "Bang——!" poked at the location of King Yser's Court.

The camp was quiet for several seconds, and the officers present had expressionless faces; some were because they were too unfamiliar with the "boasting" officer in front of them, while others thought they were aware of his true purpose.

"You mean to divide the troops to disrupt the enemy's defenses east of Eagle Point City and move the troops to other battlefields in the northwest to gain opportunities for a quick breakthrough?"

The bright-eyed Colonel Alexei Dukasky was the first to speak. He had just been promoted and was transferred from the Storm Corps to the 2nd Infantry Division of the Ranger Corps as the division commander: "But even if we can successfully disperse the enemy, our troops are not Are they scattered?"

"That's right, so we not only need to divide our troops, but also create a new battlefield by dividing our troops." Anson's eyes were extremely firm, and he said in an unquestionable tone:

"Once the enemy sees us dividing our troops, they will definitely think that this is a feint attack to cover my main force that really wants to break through their defense line from Eagle Point City. Then I will not do this and deploy the main force at Qiaowang Path to attack them. Caught off guard!"

The moment the words fell, all the officers present widened their eyes and their breathing stagnated.

That expression was like seeing an unprecedented fool, saying crazy things that even he himself didn't understand.

Looking up the path... Leon Francois has already popularized the knowledge before. That road has to go over mountains, which means that the logistics are extremely difficult. How much combat effectiveness can the army have after they are half exhausted from crossing mountains and ridges?

Well, even if these soldiers are all made of iron; let alone the sudden appearance of a large number of soldiers on the highlands, which will expose operational problems, the Lookout Trail is northwest of Yser, and Eagle Point City is already close. They are on the southwest side. How can we cooperate with each other?

"I'm willing to go to Qiaowang Trail."

In the silence, Alexey spoke again: "I will lead the Second Infantry Division to attack Qiaowang Trail and be the main offensive in this Yser war; in charge, you will lead the rest of the army and launch a feint attack from Eagle Point City to provide cover."

Several officers in the back row opened their mouths in surprise, looking at each other and communicating with each other with their eyes.

"Thank you very much for your support, Colonel Alexei, but I don't intend to feign an attack, but really attack from four directions at the same time." Anson nodded, interrupting Alexei who still wanted to speak:

"As I just said, the enemy can easily guess that we will attack from one direction and feign attacks in other directions. Therefore, we cannot give them this idea, but let them see that there are scales in all four directions. An army of ten thousand people is launching an offensive and may break through their fragile national borders at any time. This is the most important thing!"

"As I said before, our time in this war is very limited, and the only way to end a war in the shortest possible time is to eliminate the enemy's main force of resistance as soon as possible, and wait until the other side mobilizes more troops again. Multiple forces besieged the Royal Court of Yser before, forcing the opponent to surrender."

Anson's voice sounded slowly, steadily and firmly: "Therefore, we must not wait for Hantu to complete the assembly of their troops, nor can we wait for all the troops to arrive at Eagle Point City before deploying. That will only delay time; no, war We have started from now on, while we are reorganizing the newly added troops, we must immediately move towards the battlefield and not give the enemy a chance to exert its full strength."

"So based on the current situation, I have made the following arrangements, Colonel Alexei Dukasky!"

"exist!"

Alexei stood up abruptly, like a torch, erected in the middle of the officers who were looking at each other.

"You lead the eight infantry regiments of the Second Infantry Division and rush to Qiaowang Trail immediately." Anson said solemnly: "Have your troops immediately drop half of their baggage and weapons, and only take with them the necessary equipment and the amount of ammunition they can carry. Use the fastest speed to cross the Lookout Trail, and be sure to catch the Ysel Elf by surprise!"

"clear!"

"Commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Colonel Locke Faye."

"exist!"

"You lead the nine infantry regiments of the First Infantry Division to Soldier Pass, and advance to the west of Yser from there." Anson said solemnly: "I will allocate all the horses in the military camp to you, and also allow you to The soldiers carry sufficient supplies and baggage. You can take as much as you can from the camp. Try to cover everything and get through there steadily."

"clear!"

"Commander of the Cavalry Division, Colonel Charles Sanders!"

"exist!"

"The Ranger Corps has three thousand cavalry, and I will add another one thousand grenadier regiment to you to form a new light infantry division of four thousand men. We will enter the western hinterland of the Elf Kingdom of Iser via the dense forest path; remember, Your mission is by no means to confront the enemy's army head-on, set fire to their countryside, loot the towns you can find, and harass their border fortresses."

"As you command!"

"As for me, I will go south to Eagle Point City before you all arrive, lead the remaining army and the newly recruited 30,000 soldiers, and break through the enemy's outer defense line from the front." Anson looked around the audience and said in a steady voice:

"Everyone, see you in Israel!"
