"Hongyi, I want to say, in fact, in the entire camp, people who know the inside story admire you very much," Ivan looked up, and the smile on his face did not change in the slightest. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "It is really remarkable to be able to maintain such a tattered remnant army without disintegrating under such circumstances. In addition, both in military and persuasion, more than one person thinks that you don't feel like you're from the frontier at all. Even I admire what you want to be. But this time, I'm going to say you're wrong. And it's ridiculously wrong. Not only am I useful, but I can immediately solve the great difficulties that you need to face. ”

After saying this, Ivan turned his head to face Lu Wu, and there was a warm flame in his eyes.

"Your Excellency Lu Wu, although you have successfully recaptured this mine from Kaicha Goat, there is no way to use it right now, right?"

He stared at Lu Wu, and that enthusiastic look made Lu Wu can't help but take half a step back. Well, in fact, Lu Wu hadn't thought of so much. After all, he has only a limited amount of time to come to this world, and there is no universal Internet here, so he really doesn't know a lot of things. Ivan's said that the problem, well, he still has time to deal with it, or that he has not touched it for the time being.

"There are three issues that matter most at the moment," Ivan said, holding up three fingers. "First of all, there is the question of how to do the initial refining of the ore from the mine and sell it. Secondly, there is the question of how to use the money obtained to purchase the corresponding equipment. Finally, it is His Excellency Lu Wu's own authority level that must be elevated from the current status of 'acting' commander to the level of a real legion commander. I believe that even if it is red, there is no way to solve these three difficulties. ”

Lu Wu peeked at the red clothes. The gloomy face of the red coat has proved that Ivan is not a lie.

"But I can fix them. Ivan said. "There is no doubt that when I made the original proposal to capture the mine, I thought about the problems I would face in the future and had a countermeasure. ”

"Did you dismantle the original preliminary refining and extraction factory?" asked Red. He hadn't even had time to tell Lu Wu about this - the refinery that was originally supporting the mine was missing a lot of key equipment. Originally, it was thought that it was dismantled to prevent it from being used by the enemy during the retreat, but now it seems that it was Ivan's handiwork.

However, this is normal, how can an old fox like Ivan sincerely propose such a battle plan without secretly calculating it? If his original plan can be carried out normally, that is, the battle between all sides is relatively smooth, and the "club" finally controls the entire mine, then this move is really enough to damage. At that time, except for Ivan, no one else may have the ability to purchase new equipment, so he can only let Ivan blackmail.

But now that it's become such a situation, these have become Ivan's votes?

Ivan ignored the question of the red coat and continued to speak to Lu Wu. "Also, I have already negotiated the sale of ore and have been approved by the public trade network. Now it only takes a slight change to get the job done. Although it can't be said to be a great help to you, it will definitely avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. On top of that, since I had been granted permission by the former Governor, my authority was above that of the ordinary Legionnaire...... There are a lot of things that can be purchased without the permission of the regular army, and with my permission. And finally," Ivan said. "It's beyond my ability to charge into battle or something, but with my experience, I'm confident that I can give you some useful advice at critical moments. You should be able to do it as a staff officer. ”

Lu Wu glanced at the red clothes again, and the red clothes turned their faces away, as if they were attracted by something else. But Lu Wu knew that Hongyi had actually acquiesced.

Even the red clothes admit that Ivan's offer is attractive enough that he can't refuse.

"Wait," said Amber this time. "Seriously, your legion has suffered heavy losses, but why did you make this decision? Actually, you should ...... There should still be the capital to fight once. ”

"Hehe, what do you mean...... Regardless of all moral and volitional constraints, will you attack your fellow human allies and seize this mine?" Ivan smiled. "Ah, people should still have a little limit, right? Selfish, shameless and greedy to that extent, probably only warlocks, right?"

Another reason, of course, is that the odds are too low. Ivan looked at Lu Wu. Legend has it that the squadron leader was only a civilian who was temporarily drafted and promoted for some very fortuitous reasons. Now it seems that this is also the case. But if it's red...... Even if you don't notice it now, when an armed conflict breaks out between the two sides, you will definitely be aware of it. It's not that they don't want to rely on force to annex Lu Wu, but because the odds of victory are not great.

In the previous fiasco, Ivan's troops had lost most of their heavy equipment and were demoralized, and because most of the people knew the whole thing, the vicious and shameless approach of raiding their comrades would not be supported by the soldiers. And the most important thing is that Lu Wu only has about 100 troops under his command, but it is a difficult stone to gnaw - because Lu Wu has not suffered any consumption in the previous battle, he still has a powerful combat power with thirty exoskeleton armor as the core. In addition, Lu Wu is said to be a marksman, capable of riding a thousand horses with an electromagnetic turret (as incredible as it sounds, there is no other way to do it). Redcoat is an excellent commander and has the ability to command hoplites. Together, these two people are able to give full play to their combat effectiveness. Truth be told, it's a tough combination.

Under the premise that morale is not good and the equipment is not good, even if there is an advantage in numbers, the chance of winning is still not great.

This kind of total surrender and turning to the other side may seem incredible, but it is the best choice after carefully weighing the pros and cons. In other words, Ivan is not the kind of gambler who can throw all his chips at the table and fight to the death, and he is willing to choose a smarter path of reconciliation if he has the opportunity. Although his ambition was also burning, the previous failure was like a ball of cold water, directly extinguishing the fire in his heart.

"Warlocks, why are you ......" Amber wanted to speak, but at this time, Lu Wu grabbed her in time and pulled her behind him.

"Well, I take your advice. He said to Ivan.

"Thank you, Your Excellency......"

"I'm not used to others calling me Your Excellency, just call me Lu Wu. Lu Wu replied.

"As you wish, Your Excellency Lu Wu. ”

……

"Lieutenant Colonel, this is the detailed battle report you want. ”

Aki took the file - although it was more common in this day and age to use a terminal for transmission, Aki felt that this was more appropriate. This is because, as many people know, because of the difference in permissions and hardware, the high-level personnel have the ability to monitor the data input and output of the terminals below. Aki didn't want someone up there to judge her next move from the signs.

"Okay, you go down. Aqi said. As a supreme commander, a prince, the feeling is obviously different. At least before, in order to get this information, Aqi had to work her own to get the relevant information from the various parties involved, often reluctantly. Where can it be like this, a simple command can get complete information, and it is all organized, so that it can be read and analyzed without difficulty.

The subordinates left, and now she was the only one in the office.

There are three war reports, the first of which is about the results of some "special operations". In fact, it was Aqi's last adventure. Speaking of which, Aqi knew for a long time that this task would be difficult - the odds of success were too low. In fact, although the entire front line of the Huiyue camp was trying to try this mission, the only one who succeeded was Aki. I have to say that she creatively came up with the battle plan of "going deep into the enemy territory to capture prisoners". Although the process was quite tortuous, it turned out to be the right thing to do, and only in this way can it be taken by surprise. But Kecha Koyat is not a fool either, and one defeat is enough for it. In short, all those who want to emulate Aqi in the rest appear to be unlucky.

So it's easy to imagine that what Ah Qi saw was not so much a battle report as a collection of battle defeat records. It is littered with failures of varying degrees - the worst of which is that the entire detachment that carried out the mission never returns, but there are not many such records. Slightly better, there were too many people and they were ambushed by Kecha Goat. Like everyone knows, driving a car and forming a convoy are completely different things. The former allows you to slip like a loach, while the latter has increased a lot of team strength, but it also sacrifices flexibility and concealment. Although few of these defeats were completely annihilated, the casualties were particularly severe because of the large number of people.

Of course, there is the last kind of defeat - that is, a small detachment of simple warlocks. Warlocks are indeed stronger than Destroyers (even demon-resistant metal armor is not effective in every situation), but they are always in the dilemma of "not being able to catch alive" or "not being able to take away alive". The Destroyer's will to fight is simply unbelievable to one as a sapient being, and it is nearly impossible to exhaust it. Not only that, but there is a hitherto unknown method of contact within them. In short, if the battle can't end in a short time, just wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive quickly. In fact, although the casualties of the warlocks seem to be inconspicuous, those are the warlocks who can be hired independently! Although Ah Qi is an ordinary person, through the analysis of specific battle examples on the timeline, she understands that for the higher-ups, the casualties of these warlocks are actually far more painful than those destroyed detachments.

In short, Aqi's success is, so far, an isolated case. Kecha Goat is far more difficult to deal with than anyone thinks.

Fortunately, there is a successful example. At the very least, Aqi could wait to see how many secrets the rear could unearth from the captured destroyer. She wasn't really interested in their physiology or anything, she just wanted to know what new weapons were better suited to deal with them, or how to use existing weapons and equipment to deal with them more efficiently, and since that magical ability to resist magic came from their equipment, was the same with the energy shield?

She shook her head and set aside the sheets of paper, which could be called a "collection of failures". None of this is of much use to her now. Here's what she wants.

It was the specific battle process of the remnants of the local army that launched a counteroffensive against the mining area before. This is the most valuable thing for her.

To be honest, although this counteroffensive was not a victory, it was indeed a very valuable attempt.
