Roman Empire of Total War

It is usually unwise to give up a present good because of fear of a future evil, unless the appearance of that evil is so certain and imminent, or far greater than this good. Otherwise, you will lose the goodness that could have been obtained because of a fear that a result may prove unfounded.

——Qucia Dini (Italy's Renaissance icon)

The heads of the five major families in Southland, this time taking the opportunity of the birth of two new sword sages from the Bai family, gathered in the secret ambassador of Bai House; after a simple congratulation, it is the secret meeting between the four masters and Bai Haotian.

In accordance with established practice, the heads of the five major families in the South border held a secret meeting every three years; it was only in the past that the meeting place was in San Sebastian, Long. This is the first time that the meeting was held outside the secret room of the Long Mansion. .

"Dear heads, it has been more than two years since the last meeting, but the situation in our southern border is getting more and more serious." Long Teng, who was sitting at the top, said this to the other three heads and Bai Haotian. The remarks.

"Duke, it is not that we do not know the severity of the situation, but that we are really helpless!" Li Mubai, the weakest of the people, couldn't help complaining: "Our family sent 14 applications for military expansion to the emperor within two years, but Have been dismissed!"

"Our family is also." Romanov beside Li Mubai echoed: "The barbarians on the barren land have newly emerged a powerful Roman city and the Eastern Alliance, and we can't even carry out the simplest army expansion preparations."

"As far as I know, the newly rising Eastern League has their tentacles extended to only two hundred miles from our southern border; if we are not prepared early, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control the situation in the future." Sun Kui truthfully analyzed.

"I also think that the expansion of the barbarian forces should not be underestimated. After all, their hatred with us cannot be solved by force." Bai Haotian, who finally spoke, pointed to the map on the table and said: "Think about the origin of our southern border. Not the territory of the empire."

"Nanjing was indeed not the territory of the empire before, but now it is an inseparable part of the empire!" Long Teng, with a firm face, said in a powerful tone: "Even if the empire wants to abandon the southern border, we must stay in the southern border until the last one! "

"Duke, is there any wind coming from the empire?" The other four people who realized that Longteng had words, all looked at Longteng while looking at each other, and Bai Haotian frowned and asked.

"Alas..." After a long sigh, Long Tengcai explained helplessly: "Last month I got two news from the Duke of Patel, and then I knew why the empire did not support our expansion. In the future, we will be in the South I can only rely on myself."

Long Teng's attitude made Bai Haotian and others feel a little uneasy. After a little thought, Romanov asked Long Teng in an uncertain tone: "Duke, is the Sunset Fortress once again invaded by the Orc Empire?"

Hearing Romanov's question, the other three also turned their eyes to Longteng, but Longteng gave a shocking reply: "Not only the orc empire invaded the sunset fortress, but also the grassland departments in the north. The war of aggression against the empire."

"How is it possible?" Li Mubai exclaimed, disregarding the red wine that was knocked over at his desk, and eagerly said to Longteng: "The grassland departments do not have any borders with the orc empire. How can they unite to attack the empire?"

"They did not unite. It was originally a war between the orc empire and the empire; as a result, the decision-making mistakes of the empire stimulated the contradiction between the grassland departments and the empire, which in turn triggered the war between the Turkic tribes and the empire in the grassland departments. "

"Imperial decision-making mistakes?" Bai Haotian wondered: "What kind of empire's decision-making mistakes can trigger a war? And, or when the war against the prairie tribe was triggered when fighting the orc empire, how could your emperor be so unwise? ?"

"That's right." Sun Kui, who was increasingly dissatisfied, said: "With the strength of the empire, it is not a problem to deal with the orc empire or the prairie departments alone; but at the same time to fight against these two strong enemies, is it not to force the impoverished imperial soldiers to marry? ?"

"Poor Soldier Mitsuo? Brother Sun, what you think is too simple." Long Teng took out a map of the territory of the Tianlong Empire from his space ring, and pointed to the northern border of the Tianlong Empire and the sunset fortress near the sunset mountains in the east. :

"From the beginning of the war with the orc empire, in addition to the 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, and 32nd legions of the empire stationed in the sunset fortress, the empire was close to the 22nd and 2nd near the sunset The thirteenth and twenty-sixth legions have rushed to reinforce.

The 80,000 troops of the entire eight legions, plus the 50,000 additional recruits sent by the Imperial Military Department, and the perfect defense system with the help of the setting sun, only barely withstood the offensive of the 200,000 troops of the Orc Empire and was unable to repel the orcs. The army of the empire.

As for the northern border area of ​​the empire, the Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Fourteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Corps permanently stationed on the northern border can only station in their respective provinces; Shoutianhe fortress.

The grassland Turkic tribes that invaded the north had more than 200,000 cavalry; the empire dispersed in the seven northern provinces of the garrison corps plus six reinforcements, only a large army of 130,000 infantry, can only passively defend Turki The tribe's offense. "

"How about the three knights of the empire and the four super legions, and other garrisons?" Long Teng's words just finished, and Romanov, who is the best at commanding the army, asked urgently: "Why don't these troops hurry to increase reinforcements?" Border, resolve war?"

"The three knights can’t be transferred without the command of His Majesty the Emperor. The guards of the four super legions are the Imperial Capital Garrison. The other three super legions must also have the command of His Majesty the Emperor. Can only mobilize the standing army."

Long tirelessly explaining the dragon to everyone, he didn't even have a chance to stop for a minute and heard Sun Kui ask: "The sunset fortress has concentrated eight standing legions, and the northern border has gathered thirteen standing legions. The eleven remaining legions in the empire What about regiments?"

"Brother Sun, you are in a hurry." Li Mubai interjected this time without Dragon's explanation: "Among the remaining eleven standing legions, our southern border accounts for five legions, and the Empire can mobilize the actual There are only six legions."

"There is not one legion that the Empire can actually mobilize! Of the remaining six legions, two are stationed at the border of the Empire and the White Horse Kingdom, one is stationed at the border of the Empire and Chaos, and three are stationed in the Empire and Deman The border between the Kingdom and the Rhine Business League.

Whether it’s our five corps in the southern border, or six corps in other border areas, these corps are troops that the empire can never use; once these corps are transferred, then the empire is likely not facing two-line combat Now! "

Hearing this explanation from the Duke Longteng, the housekeepers in the Chamber of Secrets kept silent without saying a word; they really did not expect that the situation of the empire had collapsed to such an extent that why the empire did not use the Super Legion and Knights What?

Of course, compared to this question, they are more puzzled that what kind of decision-making mistakes have led to the current status of the two-line battle in the empire? Did the decision-makers of the empire fail to consider what two-line operations meant to the empire?
