Out of the cage

In 3241, Poma led the corps and defeated the enemy again in the Battle of Yandang.

In this battle, Vail mobilized 67 ground armored units, six heroes including him, and 670,000 troops on the Northwest Front.

Poma accurately judged Anglo's freighter replenishment cycle, dispatched sea destroyers to maintain detection, and then dispatched submarines (a battle for exchange of children with weak sea power), successfully making Anglo's freighters insufficient for two consecutive months.

When the Anglo troops were short of cargo, they naturally stopped their large-scale offensive on land.

When all the Anglo land mobile forces slowed down, Poma also found the weak point of the Anglo defense line. In February 41, the corps led by Poma smashed into the gap like a heavy hammer. Under the suppression, the defense line of Anglo and the allies in Yandang City was crushed abruptly.

Poma looked at the front line piercing into the enemy's line. His own motorcycle breastplate knights, these knights had just directed the firepower of their own artillery, so looking from a distance, these small mechanical black spots were hazy in the gunpowder smoke. You can judge by the dust raised by the motorcycle.

Poma pointed his finger in the air in front of him.

Poma: "System, count my victory points this time"

...The difference of the traveler these days mostly comes from the "future bonus"...

In the past few years of the Wanlun Continent Emperor Long War, the two sides have been facing each other on the front line. The two sides used trains and airships to transport a large amount of materials to the front. Thousands of shells. Wei Keng commented: "This way the artillery fire is no longer bombarding people, it can completely burn the river."

Don't look at the large-scale battles of Enma in the sky a few years ago, but most of the battles were mainly in motion, and they would never dump shells repeatedly in one place. Because the Sky Iron Star Industry can't afford it, Enma, a "poor family living a life", can't afford shells, and is better at intercepting and killing the opponent's supplies, making the opponent unable to prepare for such a large-scale bombardment.

Now the imperial monopoly war is completely a "spendable" war. The capital accumulated by capitalists for decades is used for war at this time like sprinkling water.

In this front-line warfare mode of fortress confrontation, the price of offense is even greater, so the conservative officers of Anglo and Vail will not launch a large-scale offensive unless they have a political last resort.

...Poma effectively exploited the opportunities created by the "rebels" in the Anglo colonies for destruction...

The defense line of the Yandang area is Anglo's core industrial area, where industrial accumulation has been carried out for nearly a thousand years, and the railway network is densely covered, providing a strong transportation capacity for the war.

Originally, even though the noble generals on the Vail side knew that Anglo was weak, they would not easily launch such a risky attack with their "personal reputation gamble".

Aristocratic generals are more inclined to "see the enemy struggling, then it means the decision is successful, so it is not good to continue to follow the rules and use slow heavy pressure to force the opponent to fail?

If the attack fails and the so-called "lose the whole war in one afternoon" situation occurs, then the blame will be enough to make the high-ranking noble generals doomed.

This way of giving glory to the upper few, thinking about personal honor in war, not taking responsibility, and thus lacking "trying" strategically

Therefore, in this war, the officers of the Anglo and Vanguard nobles could not "actively create offensive opportunities, and then actively seize the opportunities."

...In the Palace of Mirrors, those marshals who were decorated with medals all "retired behind the scenes" in this battle...

Because Poma's origin is not in the capital circle of Vernes. Rather, it is at the periphery of the bottom end of the chain of contempt.

If Val hadn't encountered this war, Poma's efforts as a soldier would not have been recognized so easily.

Disapproves of Poma's series of victories in the southern colonies at the Council of Vernes.

Bureaucrats from more than a dozen generations of "hard-working" military aristocratic families believed that the Southern Campaign was won by Poma, and it happened that the blind cat met a dead mouse and seized this opportunity. ——There are many aristocratic generals who were born in the capital area of ​​Verland, and at this time they published: "If I go, I can do it" commentary theory. (All of Poma's "correct decisions" depend on the recommendations of the traversal system.)

When the politicians of the faction in the imperial capital of Ver, he attributed Poma's victory to luck, both openly and secretly.

When the news of the victory of the southern colonies came, the airborne officials of the Commonwealth House did not investigate "why it succeeded" but boasted in the office the poem "Machine bless the Valer" and the lyrics "Long live the Senator of the Commonwealth", interspersed with "the bravery of the soldiers at the front "As an embellishment, this virtually resented the frontline fighters.

…In this tide of great change, who is God blessing? …

After the Battle of Yandang, on April 23, Poma began to reorganize the troops, and some veterans and officers were promoted by him to the ranks of school officers, such promoted "earth turtles". It is not recognized by the aristocratic officers who graduated from the "National Military Academy" in the capital of Verland, so these "soil turtles" with good abilities can only serve Poma in the future.

On the bomb-pitted street, Poma sat in a riveted steam armored car. In the files beside him are a large number of matters in the occupied area that need to be dealt with.

These things include the problem of venting emotions after the occupation of one's own army. Generals are gentlemen, but soldiers are the madness of conquerors. "In ancient times, the traffic stars spoke in a well-regulated manner on stage, and the fans in the audience were not so rational."

The colonial troops he led, after rolling out of the artillery fire, had to take a breather from the long tension. At this time, when they arrived in the city, they would immediately go up when they saw a woman. All moral rationality is put aside and needs to be decompressed.

During this process, it is impossible for Poma to protect the interests of all the people in the occupied areas, but priority must be given to protecting some important people. to maintain the rule of the region. Collecting supplies is to prevent confusion. Oh, and make sure you suppress it even if it does show up.

...Poma is a self-proclaimed realist and doesn't believe in "liberation"...

Just as Poma kept his army stable in the broken ruins after the bombardment, and searched through the remaining spoils, a reward order from the rear made Poma put down what he was doing, and looked at the people from the army with a frown. Reward order from the rear.

On the command platform where the smell of ink and the smell of telegraph electric sparks are mixed, the atmosphere becomes solidified and tense with the sound of ticking telegrams.

Just when all the subordinates thought the general was going to lose his temper, Poma said, "These gentlemen are really smart little ghosts."

The Communist Council intentionally or unintentionally played down the role of frontline commanders. They behaved cleverly, thinking that the frontline soldiers could not see it, and thought that the rhythm was still very good. In fact, they made a major mistake. Their tricks, in fact, everyone can see it , they thought others couldn't see it, and they were performing hard.

On his land cruiser, Poma announced that he would obey the parliament's dispatch and garrison the Western Front of the Empire. Aroused the "surprise" of the members who watched

Poma's allies who cooperated in the Battle of Yandang were very "confused" and "incomprehensible" by the operation of the imperial capital

The general on the front line here has just won the battle, and is about to be transferred by the masters in the rear, and then a commander who comes to pick up Tao Zi is parachuted. Those local factions in Vern who had been waiting for Poma to fight suddenly became so when they saw the operations of the big figures in the Palace of Mirrors.

Even if the parliament is not suppressing himself. It is also sad for a rabbit to die and a fox. Because in this case, it is useless for the general to win the battle, isn't he kicked away by the masters of the parliament?

The other generals participating in the meeting then persuaded Poma to counter the order, both openly and secretly. (Li Xlong urged his colleagues: Why don’t you fight with the brigade commander, and he dare not do it himself.)

Facing the nomination of these colleagues, Poma expressed that he was very moved, but he still had to obey the orders of the parliament.

...The consensus system brings some selfish people together, but inside the shell of "co-discussion", there is still a stinking thing...

In the luxurious parliament hall in the capital of Ver, the upper-class gentlemen saw that Poma had accepted the order, and proudly shook the wine glasses in their hands.

The war in Poma was very good, but the military master plan at the front line violated the taboo of the gentlemen. Six hundred thousand troops, six army generals and seven local governors were connected in series, as well as the navy's mobilization and cooperation. .

The masters of the Commonwealth have known for a long time that the Poma from the south of the army is fighting in series in this battle.

Before the war, they secretly acquiesced, because at that time these gentlemen were not sure whether they could win the war, thinking that if the adventure failed, there would be this country bumpkin from the south to take the blame.

The nobles in the Palace of Mirrors counted it as a small victory, but they never expected that this was a big victory, and the whole of Valer is now shocked and joyful. Then, in this way, more than 600,000 troops united to take a unified action , is a threat to the gentlemen of the parliament. So Ji Houhou wants to dismantle this unofficial military commander-in-chief, and then send his own people to key positions to take over the improved situation in front of him.

However, the gentlemen of the Council of Vers don't know what kind of crisis Poma's move of retreating will bring them.

...Politicians now think they can act as "stringers" and manipulate frontier generals into puppets, but their stage is not stable...

On June 7, 3241 in the Fire Emblem Calendar, Lupine V, the new general sent by the Council of Vers, arrived on the battlefield. When the airship landed in the city of Lu to Yandang, rows of female soldiers held flowers in their hands and made a welcome ceremony.

Poma looked up at the rivet-linked airship armored shell in the sky, and irony appeared in the corner of his mouth inadvertently.

This general is a fifth-level hero, his military talent is excellent, but he still stays at the old army level. More importantly, he was airborne from above, and the political forces behind him required him to expand his victory.

Changing generals before the battle, disrupting the old coordination and command tacit understanding, the war has returned to the state of continuous bombardment with heavy artillery, and repeated consumption around the gap.
