Chapter 453: Learning from Each Other

If the general's ability is sparse, even if it is the elite of the elite who leads the broken blood horse, the one who should suffer the defeat has to eat.

This model can certainly train an all-round super commander like Arnold, but it is also easy to eat some inexplicable foolish defeats.

In hindsight, most of them were due to the negligence of the front-line generals at the time and did not take into account such factors, which were usually inconspicuous but fatal.

But a super commander like Arnold will not be more than a slap in the face of the entire Broken Blood Fort several times, while their soldiers exceed 200,000 and need to defend the garrison area for more than a thousand kilometers.

Therefore, it is still those ordinary commanders with mediocre abilities who are dominant, and some even have to pull out generals and promote some people whose abilities are not up to standard at all.

As for the matter of the Military Staff, Archduke Cedric had already learned about it through Sophia's mouth a few years ago, and he scoffed at it.

A group of people who don't even know the situation on the front line formulate a strategic plan and then pass it on to the front-line soldiers for implementation.

What a ridiculous method of warfare?

This is to play with the war as a child, wait for the news from the front to reach the hands of those who make plans in the rear, and then turn it back to the front-line soldiers, and the bones of those soldiers who are waiting for orders are cold.

Therefore, Archduke Cedric predicted that the forces that dared to use this method would never be able to withstand the first strong enemy, and the bones would be eaten.

As a result, the prophecy of Archduke Cedric was shattered, and not only did they not fall into the hands of the first strong enemy, but they were forced to be embarrassed and had to sign an alliance under the city.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Regent Sophilia purchased a large number of messenger eagles from the Eternal Night Commander and sent them to the Broken Blood Castle, so that Archduke Cedric understood the foundation of this mode of operation.

When the transmission of information is no longer an obstacle, but far exceeds the enemy, it will naturally form an information roll, and easily control the overall situation, even if a lot of time is wasted in the middle, it is several steps faster than the enemy.

In the face of such an enemy, the Kingsley family was not unjustly defeated at all.

Because even if he is replaced, in the face of such an enemy, he will suffer a big loss if he is caught off guard.

After mastering a large number of messenger eagles in his hands, Archduke Cedric naturally moved the idea of forming a military staff of the Broken Blood Fortress to change the pattern of mediocre generals leading the entire team, which is why he attached great importance to Captain Southel.

There is no shortage of brave people in the Broken Blood Castle, but there is a lack of people who know how to think and observe.

When the olive branch was extended, he felt that the matter was too abrupt, so he did not mention it at that military meeting.

One is that the Broken Blood Fort has been implementing the current commander-in-chief mode for too long, and many things have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and if you want to change the new war model, there will inevitably be a painful period, even if the new model is advanced, if the soldiers do not implement it properly, the result will only lead to chaos, so that those soldiers do not know how to act.

On the Odin steppe, it is about to fall into chaos, and it is absolutely not suitable for military reform at this time, and it is the safest to implement everything according to the original.

Second, he learned through Sophia that it was all second-hand news, and the private military staff department established by Sophia had long been changed beyond recognition by her, and it was of little reference significance.

Now that he has arrived at the Eternal Night Commander and seen the main master, Archduke Cedric naturally wants to observe and learn from the experience, and if he wants to set up a staff department in his own broken blood fortress, what should he do.

In this regard, the Eternal Night Army Leader did not hide his secrets, and the operation mode of the Military Staff Department, when dissected, was really nothing too surprising, it was nothing more than the process of collecting information, summarizing, analyzing, formulating strategies, and executing.

Teamwork is one thing, and on the other hand, it is to make full use of the overall information advantage and fight the time difference with the enemy.

There is a demand not only for the capabilities of the military staff, but also for the army's execution capabilities, and there is no need to be too prominent, at least not too bad.

Otherwise, no matter how perfect the military plan formulated by the military staff is, it will be in vain if the army below does not implement it properly.

Grand Duke Cedric wanted to learn from the Eternal Night Leader, and the Eternal Night Commander didn't want to learn from the other party.

In terms of understanding traditional warfare, especially the Odin orcs, several times the entire Byron Alliance, who else is there?

Although the Eternal Night Commander has a Dicron who has shown signs of being a super commander, it is still not enough to see it in front of Archduke Cedric.

How big was the pattern of the slave rebel army commanded by Dicron at the beginning, and how big was the pattern of the broken blood fortress under the command of Archduke Cedric?

At best, Dicron had been stumbling around for a decade and had accumulated something, while Archduke Cedric had been famous for more than half a century, and even the series of glories created by his youngest son, General Arnold, was not comparable to him.

In front of Archduke Cedric, he had only to be a student.

During the two weeks that Archduke Cedric was in the Eternal Night Army, he spent no more than three days to see the situation of the Eternal Night Army's territory, and the rest of the time was spent in front of the military sand table with the staff officers of the Eternal Night Army Leader, conducting various military exercises.

This kind of military exercise is not limited to the wars that have already taken place, but also includes those that are virtual and set their own challenges.

The Eternal Night Army's proud Brother Harbor offensive and defensive counterattack is also among them, and it is still the Eternal Night Army Lord's defense, and Princess Cedric's attack.

As a result, the Eternal Night led a group of military staff officers, who were forced to sweat by Archduke Cedric alone.

In this process, Archduke Cedric did not move those known traps and conditions, and still based on the fact that the Third Fleet of the Cummins family was killed by the leader of the Eternal Night, and he only led the desperate Kingsley family to the eastern army.

Archduke Cedric did not come up with any unexpected means to break the game, but carried out all kinds of small maneuvers and temptations under known conditions, so that the Eternal Night Leader had to respond according to his movements.

Although Archduke Cedric still could not escape the surrender and defeat, he dragged the Eternal Night army into exhaustion, and when the agreement was signed, he had to make greater concessions.

Compared with it, MacArthur, who was not underrated by the generals of the Eternal Night Army, was too immature and conservative.

The Negotiating Bureau also needs military action as support and cooperation, and it is not surprising that MacArthur was too conservative and too stable in Brother Harbor and pinned all his hopes on the Politburo of Archduke Barker, but he rarely took military action himself, and was led by the nose by the Eternal Night Army from beginning to end.

Archduke Cedric did not think so, as long as an armistice was not signed for a day, it was necessary to take military action constantly, not necessarily with any set strategic goals, but the other party must not be idle, only by mobilizing the other party, can there be an opportunity.

In the case that the Eternal Night Commander has an absolute advantage and is carefully arranged by himself, this is still the result.

Replace it with a battle situation that Archduke Cedric is proud of, or a virtual battle situation.

The military staff officers and generals of the Eternal Night Army were really shocked by the sharp tactics of Archduke Cedric.

When attacking, mercury pours on the ground, pervasive, and extremely sharp.

When it is kept, the copper wall is ironclad, the needle cannot be inserted, and it is solid.

Theory, he may not be able to say that the military staff officers of the Eternal Night Army Leader, but after many years of war, he has actual combat experience that ordinary people do not have, and all kinds of tactics are at his fingertips, not so much thoughtful, but experienced, and he can see at a glance where the key point is, the ambush that should be set up, the abandonment when it should be abandoned, and the attack when it should be attacked, the whole process, flowing smoothly, everything is under his control.

In the case of a quick fight, the military staff officers of the Eternal Night Army were forced to retreat.

After countless deductions, the military staff officers of the Eternal Night Army won less and lost more, and they were able to win two out of ten sets, which was a fluke, and most of them used some more unexpected tricks to lay the advantage of victory and defeat at the beginning, otherwise once it dragged to the middle and late stages, they would basically be played by Archduke Cedric alone.

This kind of tactical deduction is just a traditional war, and it does not replace a series of war weapons that have not yet been made public by the Eternal Night Army, at most it is substituted for black powder that is no longer a secret.

Once this thing is a prerequisite, the Eternal Night Commander's military staff will have a much higher chance of winning.

They have eaten through the properties of black powder and played it with thieves.

And Archduke Cedric has not been in contact with this new weapon for a long time, and if he does not fully understand its power and how to use it, he will inevitably be deceived, but the same trick can only be effective for him once, and the second time it will not be useful, this old man who is over ninety years old, his learning ability is still amazing.

This is a process of learning from each other, and in these two weeks, Archduke Cedric has a full understanding of the military staff of the Eternal Night Army, not only to find out their operation process, but also to have a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, and to have a more comprehensive idea of his own formation of the Guards Staff.

In the past two weeks, he has indeed single-handedly forced the military staff officers of the Eternal Night Army to be embarrassed, and that is because the other party has suffered the loss of insufficient combat experience, if their combat experience is as rich as his own, no, even if he only has two or three percent of his own, he will not be able to eat and walk around.

After all, the other party is a group of people, staring at many more faces and ideas than one person, and it is easy to catch their own loopholes.

It's not that his command is without loopholes, it's just that it's well hidden many times!

Only Archduke Cedric himself knows how much pressure there is on his body in the face of such a group of people.

If there is a similar staff around to assist in command, he will become more relaxed, not to mention, he will also turn the entire Broken Blood Fortress defense line into a complete whole, head and tail, attack synchronously, and strike at the Odin orcs more widely.

There is no need for the Broken Blood Fortress to follow the example of the Eternal Night Army Leader, it can be done in one step, it can be taken in a step-by-step way, and each general can be equipped with a staff officer or a guard staff officer by his side first, as a supplement.

The military staff officers of the Eternal Night Army also benefited greatly from Archduke Cedric, and gained a lot of things that could not be learned in books, which further enriched themselves.

Before Archduke Cedric left, he reached a cooperation agreement with the Eternal Night Commander.

The Commander of the Eternal Night sends a group of senior military staff officers to the Broken Blood Citadel for internships to learn about the old-fashioned army and help Archduke Cedric form his own Guards Staff.

Both sides rejoiced and took what they wanted.

The only pity is that the Eternal Night Warlord has not been able to dig out General Arnold on his own, nor has he been able to lure him out with Archduke Cedric's coming to the Eternal Night Warlord, including the news that the Odin Prairie spread by the Eternal Night Warlord, and it has not been effective.

I just don't know if the other party didn't see it, as Ralph feared, or if he had his own plans.

The other party may have left the Eternal Night Army Leader a long time ago, after all, a large part of the news that he hibernated into the Eternal Night Army Leader is speculation, and the other party's temperament is unpredictable, and he may not be able to escape from the gentle township of which woman will fall into it as soon as he turns his head.

Another cooperation project between the Eternal Night Commander and Archduke Cedric, the Border Market, is also going well.

First, the Broken Blood Fort has enough power to speak on the border between the two sides, and it can be said that it is a monopoly, and Cedric has made Chrysostom public, and this matter is basically a certainty.

Even if there is a family that wants to object, Archduke Cedric can block them back with a word, and if you want to have the final say on the border, you can, make up the number of people and materials that your family should supply to the border according to the provisions of the Great Declaration of the Byron Alliance, and you will be qualified to intervene on it, and before that, shut up for me.

In recent years, many lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance have gone too far, and they don't have the face to come up at this time, especially when the Odin savannah is about to fall into chaos, and they rely more on the Broken Blood Fortress than usual.

No matter what the Broken Blood Fortress wants to do, they have to support it, not to mention that not many people have realized how much benefit border trade can bring.

After all, in their minds, the Odin orcs are a group of stinky humanoid animals, not to mention whether there are good things in their hands, whether they understand the transaction or not, it is still a problem!

Could it be that they can also come up with a series of good things that go beyond the norm like the Eternal Night Commander?

This time, the Broken Blood Fort is estimated to be poor and crazy, and wants to get subsidies from other places to maintain its military spending.

Second, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce is now very strong, and once it is organized, it will form a rather large scale.

Tens of thousands of transport vehicles of all kinds rushed to the Broken Blood Fortress, which made everyone look sideways, including those border smugglers.

These people were originally suspicious of the wind generals released by the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, and they did not dare to make a move, lest this be a new trick made by Archduke Cedric, and they were ready to lure them out and catch them all.

After all, the news of this border exchange market is too abrupt.

Originally, there was no rumor at all, but Archduke Cedric went to Vallesta, the royal capital, and walked around, why was the news spread everywhere?

No matter how I feel, there is an abnormal smell.

But when they saw the generosity of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, they couldn't help but believe it.

As far as the small actions they made were concerned, compared to the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, it was simply a drop in the bucket, who would use such a sum of goods as bait.

Naturally, they will come to the door like flies that smell fish.

With their help, things were undoubtedly much easier, and they soon contacted a large number of small and medium-sized tribes of Odin, and they all showed a keen interest in it.

In fact, after so many years of border smuggling, the huge market of Odin orcs has already been developed and matured, and many daily necessities from the Byron Alliance are in huge demand among the Odin orc tribes, but the amount of border smuggling alone cannot even fill a small share of this market.

When the border smugglers released the news that the Byron Alliance was preparing to ship a large number of shipments, the Odin orc tribe who heard the news immediately ran over with a large number of livestock, lest they be one step too late and have no share of their own.

As for the original fear, the situation where the Orcs were afraid that this was a trap and did not dare to come did not appear at all.

One is that most of the Odin orcs subconsciously thought that this was still an action made by those daring border smugglers, and they didn't expect that the Broken Blood Castle was also mixed in it. 8)
