Struggle in the Steam Age

As soon as Lawrence entered the headquarters, he immediately declared that he needed to report important matters. Because of his identity, the staff on duty immediately walked into the mansion and called for someone to go.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged soldier in pajamas but wearing the uniform of a major general of the White Eagle Federation came out and asked. ""Your Excellency Earl Sauer, what happened? Is your position under attack, but I don't seem to have heard anything over there? "

"Good night, Lieutenant General Buckner. Our position is safe now." Lawrence immediately recognized the opponent as Lieutenant General Buckner sent by the White Eagle Federation, who is also the commander-in-chief of the island. So he immediately said, "It's just that I took the initiative to attack once tonight, and found some unexpected situations."

After speaking, he took out the account book from his pocket and continued. "This is the ledger I seized from a group of smugglers who came into contact with the sahuagin tonight, and it is confirmed that they traded with the sahuagin again tonight and sold a large amount of war materials to the sahuagin— —”

In the following time, Lawrence began to describe the things he saw tonight to the lieutenant general in front of him. However, in order to hide the existence of the astral plane, he only said that he and the little puppet successfully hid their existence through some family-handed magic props and entered the sahuagin camp.

As a result, not long after Lawrence just said the beginning, Lieutenant General Buckner, who realized the value of the information he brought back, immediately invited him and the dolls to the conference room, and then called all the commanders in the headquarters Wake-up pulled over and called into the conference room, asking everyone to listen to this very important information brought by Lawrence.

"—That's probably how things are." After more than half an hour when everyone arrived. Lawrence concluded with a tired look, because the commander-in-chief called everyone over halfway through his speech, so he recounted the story of tonight after everyone had arrived .

In order to facilitate everyone's judgment, he described the entire process of his actions in as much detail as possible during this process.

After Lawrence's voice fell, the entire conference room fell into silence. All that remained was the rustling of those present as they began passing around the ledger. After the ledger was passed around from everyone present, the Governor of Vieques Island was the first to stand up and start asking.

"My lord, are these things real?" Mr. Governor asked Lawrence with a shocked expression on his face, "Of course, I am not questioning the authenticity of the information you obtained tonight. It's just that I think these things are simply unbelievable, because it is obviously in the middle of a war, how dare they-"

"Of course they dare. As long as the group of stinky fish and rotten shrimps are willing to give enough money, then there must be someone who is willing to continue smuggling when his predecessor is made into jerky."

Unlike His Excellency the Governor, who has been serving as an administrative officer in a peaceful area for a long time, Lieutenant General Buckner is the kind of general who has made it to this point step by step in actual combat by relying on his military exploits. So he knows a lot about some things, and naturally he also knows the dark side of human beings. .

"That's right, and the most important purpose of our existence is to punish them and end their crimes." A referee from the referee said.

Although the referee took most of the manpower from various places to deal with the semi-dead island whale before, they still left a lot of manpower in a theater like this. "After this war is over, we will apply for a trial order to clean up all those who committed serious crimes in this matter."

"Of course", "That is necessary." After the judge's voice fell, everyone present expressed their support for this decision. After all, it is absolutely taboo to sell military supplies to those hostile wilderness races during this kind of civilized war. Once discovered, they will be charged with anti-civilization felonies.

"Okay, these traitors are indeed disgusting, but we have to wait until the end of the war to deal with them. The most important thing for us now is to resolve the war in front of us." I found that the content of everyone's discussion began to deviate After the gist. Lieutenant General Buckner hurriedly spoke and brought the topic back.

"According to our original plan, the only thing we have to do in this war is to defend the settlements on the island and prevent innocent people from being harmed. Therefore, we only need to build various fortifications at specific locations and Holding those lines of defense is enough.

But now, the information brought by His Excellency Earl Sauer made me think of a good way to end the war in a short time. "

"Of course, this method still has certain risks for us. Because if we don't do it well, we may let the group of sahuagin directly break through our defense line and go deep into the inland. In that case, we It may be more expensive to drive them back into the sea."

After finishing speaking, Lieutenant General Buckner walked to the side of the map on the wall and pulled out a pointer to point to the part around the urban area of ​​the port. Then, based on his understanding of the battle situation and the information Lawrence just brought back, he stated his plan for the next battle.

To put it bluntly, this plan is to use all tricks, lure the enemy to go deep, and then close the door and beat the dog. From a tactical point of view, it should actually be a very simple operation. And the core of this tactic is that the information brought by Lawrence allows everyone to see the possible deployment of the sahuagin as if they have opened their eyes, so they can make targeted preparations.

After he finished his plan, everyone present immediately discussed it. Soon the field was divided into two parts. Some of them think that everyone should defend step by step now, and there is no need to make an extra move to launch an active attack. After all, everyone's task is to protect the innocent people on the island from harm, and eliminating the sahuagin is just a side job.

The other part believes that this war is actually a life-and-death struggle between land-based intelligent creatures and sahuagin. Therefore, the key to ending this war is to kill and injure the sahuagin as much as possible to a limit value, and then those evil guys will naturally leave here.

And if they can take the initiative to set up traps, then they have a chance to wipe out a large number of sahuagin, especially the elite among the sahuagin. Under such circumstances, the war will end much earlier than planned. At the same time, everyone's losses will be reduced to a minimum.

After seeing everyone quarreling for more than half an hour but unable to convince each other, Lieutenant General Buckner, as the commander-in-chief, knew that time is very precious now and should not waste too much time on discussions, so he suggested that everyone can just discuss The two plan to vote on what to do next.

As a result, after a round of simple voting, there are more people who support taking a little risk to take the initiative. According to the rule of the minority obeying the majority in wartime, no matter what opinions everyone holds before the voting is completed, the people who vote after the voting is over It is necessary to fully implement the decisions made by everyone.

So everyone immediately invested in the preparations after the meeting, but considering that there are already rapes who have colluded with the sahuayu people, Lawrence and the others are making preparations in secret. Both arms and personnel transfers are done under other names.

Fortunately, the island has now fully entered the state of military control, so this work has been completed very smoothly. By the time the next day dawns, the most important part has already been arranged in place.
