I Will Be The Crowned King

"I will be crowned king (!

"...Because of this, we must start immediately to rescue Black Reef Harbor!"

In the ruined room, with his back against the temporarily hung map of the New World colony, Anson explained his plan to the officer corps who were sitting face to face with him:

"If I don't know who the commander-in-chief of the opposite empire is, or if I go further, it's not our 'old friend' in Hantu, unless I'm 70% sure, I won't agree to this plan."

"But our opponent is him—Bernard Morwes, the chief of staff of the Empire's Expeditionary Force in the Far Lands, this man knows me and the Storm Division too well; Inertial thinking can easily be brought into the enemy's rhythm."

"That is to say, because he knows you very well... and knows us very well, so he concluded that we will definitely not rescue Black Reef Harbor." Carl Bain thought for a while, and said tentatively:

"Is that right?"

An Sen nodded slightly: "That's understandable."

"Is it beneficial to us to rescue Black Reef Port?" Lieutenant Colonel Alexei raised his hand.

"That's exactly what I'm saying - on the face of it, not rescuing Black Reef is the best option for us."

An Sen looked around at everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "The reason is also very simple: distance, return, cost-effectiveness."

"In terms of distance, rushing from Winter Torch City to Black Reef Port is a long journey, and with the poor infrastructure level of the colony, the cost of a long journey is ridiculously high."

"And even if we hold the Black Reef Harbor, the reward we get can only be said to be minimal; after all, a city that has just been devastated by the army may even become a drag on the Storm Division."

"As for the price/performance ratio... For the storm division, of course, abandoning the Black Reef Harbor and keeping the Red Hand Bay is the most cost-effective; a free confederation that is further weakened and can only rely on the storm division to survive is in our best interests."

"So for the Storm Division, the option with the least cost, the highest success rate, and the greatest reward is to decisively abandon the Black Reef Harbor, fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, and start a decisive battle with the Empire's army in Red Hand Bay." Anson concluded.

The words fell, and the officers had different expressions.

Fabian is still as calm as always... It is his plan to keep the Red Hand Bay, which is also in line with his positioning in the "storm division system": be conservative, seek stability, and stop losses.

The Storm Division already has a person who is good at creating miracles, and there is no need for a Grenadier regiment leader who is keen to open his mind.

Carl, who was smoking a pipe, frowned. As the chief of staff who had already had some resistance to Anson's "perfect plan", he was more concerned with logistical issues; the journey from Red Hand Bay to Black Reef Port was one third longer. , but at least double the cost.

Alexey looked left and right, carefully concealing his expression - since the big warehouse incident, he has never dared to express his position easily.

"But even if this is beneficial to the Storm Division, you still insist on rescuing Black Reef Harbor." Lieutenant Colonel Norton Crosell suddenly spoke, looking at Anson with a burning gaze:

"Just because doing so is in line with the enemy's judgment of us?"

"That's really the most important reason - especially when this enemy knows us very well and is very good at coordinating the layout."

Anson admitted his judgment: "Another reason is that this may be in the interests of the Storm Division, but it is contrary to our plan."

"Can you be more specific?"

Glancing at his colleagues behind him who were also curious but did not dare to speak, Norton had to keep asking.

"Of course—abandon Black Reef Harbor, hold on to Red Hand Bay, use ready-made fortifications, adequate logistics and a steady stream of artillery from the Free Confederacy... Recruits fill the front line, and we can definitely stop the attack of the Empire's counterinsurgency army."

An Sen, who originally wanted to say "cannon fodder", accidentally saw the little secretary in the corner who was writing and writing, suddenly remembered that he was still in Winter Torch City, and changed his words calmly:

"But if so, do we have any chance of defeating the Empire, or even wiping out Bernard Morwis' army, before winter?"

Norton Crosell was silent, his pupils shrinking slightly seemed to be doing mental arithmetic instinctively.

"Simply, the answer is it's impossible."

Before waiting for the other party to speak, An Sen directly gave the answer: "We may be able to defeat, or even severely damage them... But with the three major colonies backing, the opponent is barely considered a 'local battle', and wants to annihilate the entire legion in one go, rushing to conquer it by the end of the year. Sail the city, completely expel the empire from the new world..."

"In order to achieve this goal, Black Reef Harbor, the bridgehead for attacking Grey Pigeon Fort and Sail City, must not and must not fall."

In the face of the commander-in-chief's insistence, Norton didn't know how to answer for a while, so he shrugged slightly and gave Fabian a look - he came from a family of small traders and belonged to a "conservative" within the Storm Division, and was in favor of keeping Red Hand Bay.

Of course, compared to Anson Bach, the entire Storm Division is almost entirely conservative.

"But you also mentioned that the price of rushing to Black Reef Harbor is very high." After receiving the signal from his colleagues, the former Guards officer must of course express something.

"Yes, defending this bridgehead is beneficial to the Storm Division... (Fabien glanced at the little clerk who was still writing) It is very important to the interests of the Storm Division and the Free Confederation, and it is related to the entire New World. Freedom and peace; but truth be told, the dangers of such a costly and risky trek are more than apparent.”

"Not only do we have to march quickly to attack an imperial army that is waiting for work, but even during the march, it is not completely safe - natives, robbers, beasts, disease... This is not the land, not the loss caused by combat attrition, It is likely to exceed the number of battlefield deaths!"

"As for ending the war at the end of the year, I admit that this is a very tempting goal, but many times we still have to consider more realistic issues and try to ensure that the already solid front is safe." Fabian advised:

"Changhu Town, Red Hand Bay, and Winter Torch City, which has just been attacked by the enemy... It will take time for the three colonies to fully mobilize sufficient troops and put them into a state of war."

"What's more, even if we hold the Black Reef Port, with the current financial situation of the Beluga Port and the Free Confederation, it is impossible to come up with the funds to rebuild the city and seize the Sail City."

This is also the most worrying issue for the "conservatives" of the Storm Division. For a greater return, they can temporarily ignore the immediate gains and losses, but whether it is the reconstruction of the Black Reef Port, or the soldiers are willing to defend the colony in the rapid march and continue to attack the sailing city, The premise is that the salary must not be a problem.

Now that the storm division has been established, the soldiers' requirements for their own treatment have naturally increased, and they are no longer satisfied with a little dividend and basic salary as they were in Hantu.

Even after the Battle of Changhu Town, the entire army had collectively shared a redemption, and had the shares and guarantee of the Legion Farm, the calls for a salary increase have never stopped.

This kind of distress also made Anson feel more and more urgent to form a new army - in addition to the "viewing army" of the Free Confederation's militia and the Faithful Alliance, there must be a slightly lower level of equipment, but at least the willingness to fight is strong and the treatment requirements are high. Low levies will do.

"There is no need to worry about the issue of funding, there is already a solution."

Carl waved his hand and said indifferently with a rather relaxed gesture: "The only question to consider now is how to ensure smooth supply all the way from Winter Torch City to Black Reef Port, that the march is safe and smooth, and that it can arrive before the enemy takes the city. ."

It has been solved... Fabian nodded slightly, covering up his inner surprise with indifference.

The chief of staff took the opportunity to look at Anson with a tacit expression.

So far, the entire Storm Division knows that the representatives of the Northern Chamber of Commerce and the Roland family have arrived at the White Whale Port, only the two of them plus a small secretary; as long as the other party is willing to invest, this amount of money is not a problem at all.

But at least for now, Anson doesn't plan to tell everyone about this; except that he still doesn't know the specific attitude of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, but also because the other party is also involved in the later Coal Mine Development Bank, which is related to the Ruen family's rule over the entire New World .

"The logistical issue, I suggest splitting it into two parts."

At this moment, Norton opened his mouth and proposed: "Since the destination is Black Reef Port, let the materials from Grey Snow Town and Beluga Harbor be assembled to Winter Torch City, and the materials from Changhu Town will arrive at Red Hand Bay, and then pass through. Each colony will relay the transportation, and the materials will be transported to the Black Reef Port in advance of the army."

"Of course there will be certain risks, but we can let the colonial militia follow the supplies to the Black Reef Port in batches, and use newspapers around the country to hype it up. The Free Confederation is determined to defend the independence of the Black Reef Harbor to the death. The Storm Division is busy in the Red Reef Harbor. Build a new line of defense in Shouwan...to create some distraction for the enemy."

Now that the commander-in-chief has made up his mind and insists on rescuing the Black Reef Port, Norton Crosell will no longer make unnecessary insistence; responding to the customer's (commander's) request in a timely manner and keeping up with the other party's ideas as much as possible are also his strengths. one.

"And I personally think that if the primary goal is to 'rescue' Black Reef Harbor, and whether Bernard Morwes can be wiped out is a secondary goal, then there is no need for the Storm Division to act together."

"It is entirely possible to let one - for example, a certain infantry regiment and cavalry battalion set out first, and the main force is then divided into three to reduce the logistical pressure; the line soldiers and skirmishers are in the front, and the artillery and baggage units are behind, reducing the drag and speeding up. marching speed."

Seeing that he did not interrupt himself, Norton continued to talk: "Even if the Colonial Minister wants to fight us at Heijiao Port, backed by the yet-to-fall Heijiao Harbor, even if he has not assembled all the main forces for the time being, he will still We have the advantage - it may be difficult to beat them, but it is equally difficult to lose."

"If this is the case, it can indeed relieve a lot of logistical pressure; marching in batches, the fastest troops should be able to arrive at Black Reef Harbor in about ten days... There will definitely be time for rescue."

After listening to Lieutenant Colonel Norton's suggestion, Carl Bain nodded immediately, but also expressed his concerns: "But it would be too chaotic to manage the distribution of logistics to various colonies."

"This is simple - we can ask our people to take over the logistics committee of the Free Confederacy like the Han soil did." Fabian took over:

"Let Alan Dawn be the chief in charge, and report the daily situation to Carl Bain, the chief of staff; as for how to ensure that the other party pays attention... We can ask Beluga Port to send a member of parliament as a representative to the Free Confederacy, 'Audit ' All their work and meetings."

"In terms of candidates, I suggest Miss Talia August Rune."

In terms of survival desire, Fabian is only one or two inferior to Ansen: "There is the head of the Beluga Port Committee, the patron of the Trustworthy Alliance, the local giants, and the commander-in-chief's fiancée in person, and they will never dare to neglect in the slightest. !"

"It makes sense, I also think this is a good way!" The commander-in-chief was surprised and informed, and quickly made a decision:

"I will tell Talia this suggestion tonight. I believe she knows that the most cautious grenadier commander of the Storm Division proposed it and will not refuse it."

Before he finished speaking, Fabian, who was just about to be humble, staggered all over, and slammed onto the chair with no expression, so he didn't fall directly to the ground.

Carl shook his head, looking at him with sympathy... By the way, he moved to the side.

"Since the logistics have been finalized, the rest is the issue of the marching route." Anson continued the topic just now:

"I'm going to personally lead a company of guards and a regiment of infantry to Black Reef Harbor, with the main army following close behind; if there is any accident in the middle, the highest-ranking officers can call an emergency military meeting to raise their hands to vote on the next action - of course, The premise is that the established military plan cannot be violated.”

"Are you going to rescue Black Reef Harbor alone?!"

Alexei was stunned in surprise - although Anson's "perfect plans" that seemed to send death no longer surprised them, but it was the first time to take such a big risk.

"Of course not - I said, I will bring a guard company and an infantry regiment, how can I be single-handed?" Anson asked with a chuckle:

"But thank you for your concern, dear Lieutenant Colonel Alexei, you have always been the kind of taciturn type in the Storm Division. I really didn't expect you to care so much about my safety."

"Of course, you are our commander-in-chief. If anything happens to you, we won't..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Looking at the commander-in-chief's extremely grateful, full of "suggestive" eyes, Alexei, who suddenly noticed something, trembled violently, and hurriedly changed his words: "No no no...I, I am not! I don't have! I...that... In fact, Fabian and Norton are the ones who care about you the most..."

"You don't have to be humble~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I understand!"

Anson raised his hand to steal directly, pressed Alexei's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Everyone, Lieutenant Colonel Alexey is worried about my personal safety, and took the initiative to request to participate in this mission, I decided to agree to him this small Small request...what do you think?"

No one spoke, and no one objected.

I don't know where the crisp sound of "pop" came from, and after a while, the officers present began to applaud the two.

Under the inexplicably warm atmosphere, Lieutenant Colonel Alexei, who was silent, had a stiff expression, and tears of disappointment ran down his cheeks.

Tears were filled with regret.
