As a matter of fact, the General Staff Department has prepared two sets of plans for today's meeting, one is to take the initiative to attack on a limited extent, and the other is to lure the enemy deep into encirclement and suppress the enemy.

It's just that Dixon couldn't figure out Charles's thoughts, and he didn't want to make today's Charles meeting too bad, so he only proposed a conservative plan to lure the enemy into the depths at first.

If Charles is young and angry and blindly and impulsively wants to get Elizabeth back on the field, then Dixon can take advantage of the situation to propose a more radical plan with limited initiative, so as to meet Charles's requirements, and everyone on the scene looks good.

Even if Charles asks for an all-out attack, Dixon can use verbal play to fine-tune that initiative plan to meet Charles's requirements in face.

Dixon is a retiring elf, experienced on the battlefield and in the workplace, and is already familiar with how to carry out a lot of work.

So he wasn't surprised when Charles asked to take the initiative, but he was a little surprised by the tactics Charles came up with later.

Dixon, who had led the army for many years, knew that the soldiers who were about to go on an expedition -- especially one that had recently won a victory -- were in high spirits when they first set out.

If a soldier is attacked by a sudden and fierce attack, and does not know where the enemy is attacking, the huge psychological gap can make the enemy's morale fall to the bottom in an instant.

After discussion and study, the General Staff came to the conclusion that the operation proposed by Charles had little investment and large returns, and had no shortcomings other than the sharp depletion of the stock of wind and arrow shells.

Dixon was thinking about another issue, and later Charles asked the commando team and the reconnaissance team to carry a communicator, so that the communication between the two sides could not be interrupted during the whole operation, the reconnaissance team could report the enemy situation at any time, and the commander of the commando team would direct the action according to the latest enemy situation.

Stewart, who was in charge of logistics, was troubled by this, he knew how many communicators there were in the southern theater, and if he wanted to do what Charles wanted, he had to take out almost all the communicators in the warehouse.

But Dixon is supportive of this, and full map is every commander's dream.

By about ten o'clock in the evening, the General Staff had drawn up a plan of action codenamed "Charles Express".

The content of the plan is very general compared with the previous plan, and it only orders all units to first send reconnaissance teams carrying communicators to go deep behind enemy lines to conduct reconnaissance, mobilize vehicles, troops, and weapons to organize assault teams, and wait for the reconnaissance teams to give further feedback on the enemy's situation before carrying out the next action.

Dixon read the plan three times, and it was the first time he had come up with such a simple and general battle plan. After signing the proposal in the corresponding place, he felt that there was a trace of inspiration in his head that he could not grasp.

Sensing that Charles hadn't slept yet, Dixon walked out of his office with his plan.

Opposite Dixon's office was Elizabeth's office, and the door was slightly open, revealing the light.

The chief of staff knocked on the door, and the voice of Charles "please come in" came from the office.

Dixon was a little surprised, he thought Charles was playing or doing something else, but he didn't expect Charles to be in the office at this time.

"Your Highness, the plan of action for the next stage is ready. Dixon handed the plan to Charles.

Charles took the plan, read it and signed his name, and handed it back to Dixon.

Charles then picked up a document from his desk and handed it to Dixon, saying, "This is my idea for the next battle, please ask the chief of staff for some guidance." ”

Dixon curiously took the document from Charles's hand and saw that the title of the document was "A Plan for Opening Up the Battlefield Behind Enemy Lines (Draft)".

At the end of the campaign, Dixon chose to retreat in great strides in order to preserve his vital forces, which caused the fish-men to occupy a coastal line of land ranging from ten kilometers to dozens of kilometers.

Fortunately, the elves pay more attention to population resources than land resources, otherwise Dixon would have been pulled out to shoot targets because of this.

As a result, the fish-men had to dilute their limited forces in the newly occupied land.

Faced with this situation, it would be strange that Charles did not take the opportunity to gnaw a large piece of the enemy's meat.

Dixon thought the other way, he thought that Charles was a young man who had just risen to the top and wanted to seize the opportunity to prove his ability, but he obviously did not have the ability to organize large-scale battles, so he chose the battlefield behind enemy lines that he was most familiar with.

After all, one only needs to look at Charles's resume to know that he is most familiar with small-scale raids behind enemy lines.

Dixon took the draft plan back to his office, first asked the other staff officers to issue orders for the start of Operation Charles Express, and then sat down behind his desk and began to read the plan written by Charles.

After reading a few pages, Dixon realized that Charles's plan was different from the previous commandos fighting behind enemy lines.

In the past, most of the commandos were sent behind enemy lines to carry out safari operations, they roamed around, took a bite when they encountered suitable prey, and avoided strong enemies from afar.

This time, Charles proposed that the commandos sent should no longer be limited to the commandos under each brigade, but should be released from the ranks to form a number of elite forces.

He also asked the commandos to bring communicators and eat small groups of enemies, and summon nearby allies to annihilate them when they encountered a moderate number of enemies.

If there are too many enemies, set up ambushes on the enemy's path, attack the enemy's advance and rear guards, and kill and injure the enemy through long-range attacks and mines, so as not to let the enemy march in peace and comfort.

In addition to the enemy who is out and about, the commando team will also attack fixed targets such as enemy strongholds, warehouses and bases according to the situation, and bombard them with wind arrows if they have the opportunity, and destroy the enemy's roads if they don't have the opportunity, and bury mines by the way.

At the same time, the commandos who infiltrated behind enemy lines reported the enemy's situation at any time through the communicators they carried, making themselves the eyes and ears of the entire army.

The front-line armies in various localities analyze the enemy situation reported by the commandos, and command and cooperate with the commandos to launch more targeted attacks on valuable targets.

Overall, the next stage of the operation is to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and a large number of areas that cannot be effectively controlled, give full play to the advantages of the high quality of the elves' individual soldiers, and continuously kill and damage the enemy's living forces through a large number of small-scale battles, and then accumulate small victories into big victories.

At the same time, each commando team is also tasked with finding the enemy's high-end combat power, and immediately notifies its own high-end combat power to strangle the target after discovering it.

Dixon carefully studied the ideas in Charles's plan, and he found that Charles attached great importance to the role of the communicator in battle, and had the intention of sinking the communicator equipment.

Dixon's discovery was correct, and Charles, accustomed to having a convenient means of communication, naturally did not ignore the use of communicators in warfare.

Although the current war is only a war in the era of cold weapons, the area and scale of the war are not comparable to the mechanized war in his hometown, and the requirements for information transmission between the two wars are not at all an order of magnitude.

But Charles felt that the era of hot weapons was coming, and the mechanized army also had a prototype, so instead of making up for problems in the later stage, it was better to do some of the work that could be done in advance.
