In modern warfare, money is fought.

For example, a short-range surface-to-surface tactical missile, the cost of each country is more than 20,000 silver coins, which is already the cheapest missile.

Without sufficient financial support, we simply cannot fight a modern war.

In terms of funds, the six orc countries and the three elf countries combined, are still far inferior to the Han and Tang Empires.

As the war continued, the wealthy temperament of the Han and Tang armies became more and more obvious.

On September 20, 1577, the second capital of the Black Bear Empire, Gaget City, had been surrounded by the Han and Tang armies, and the Han and Tang armies outside Gaget City exceeded 3 million at this time.

However, the Black Bear Army, the Golden Lion Army, and the Flying Leopard Army in Gaget City combined have more troops than the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, plus the garrison temporarily formed by the Black Bear Empire, the strength is even more than 5 million.

Moreover, there is a different time and space node in Gaget City that connects to the first capital of the Black Bear Empire, Varidlo City, and the Black Bear Empire can continue to increase troops to the second capital Gaget City.

"Boom-boom-"

Although the Han and Tang armies had not yet officially begun to attack the city, the Han and Tang armies used ground-to-ground tactical missiles and a large number of artillery to continuously destroy the buildings in the city.

The air force of the Han and Tang Empires also dispatched a large number of fighters and strategic bombers to continuously bomb the city of Gaget.

As for whether it will cause civilian casualties, the Han and Tang Dynasty armies can't care about it, anyway, the civilians in Gaget City can be evacuated from Gaget City through different time and space nodes in the city.

"Have all the women and children in the city been evacuated?" Stava, the deputy minister of the War Department of the Black Bear Empire, asked in a deep voice to Army General Gishai.

Gishay nodded solemnly, "Marshal, the old, young, women and children among the civilians have all withdrawn to Varidlo City through different time and space nodes, and the young and strong men have been organized and incorporated into various garrison divisions.

In addition, Marshal Uriyan sent a telegram that more than 8 million army troops had been assembled on the side of Varidlo, and they could support our defenders in Gaget City at any time through the Alternate Time and Space Node.

Marshal Uriyan also said that more army units could be assembled on the side of Varidlo if needed. ”

Marshal Uriyang mentioned by Gishay is the Minister of War of the Black Bear Empire, but because of physical reasons, since the War between the Nine Nations Military Alliance and the Han and Tang Empires, the Minister of War Uriyan has been staying in the first capital of the Black Bear Empire, Varidlo City, to recuperate, and the battles with the Han and Tang armies here are all commanded by the Deputy Minister of War Starva.

Originally, relying on the defense line of the Geyada Mountain Range, the Nine-Nation Alliance led by the Black Bear Army and the Golden Lion Army was still able to resist the attack of the Han and Tang Dynasty armies.

It's a pity that after the defeat of the combined fleet of the nine navies, the Han and Tang armies opened a second battlefield in the territory of the Black Bear Empire, and the entire battle situation in the Black Bear Empire immediately took a sharp turn.

Just 4 months? The Black Bear Empire's 6 provinces in the New World? There are only a few lonely cities left that are still holding on, and even the defense line of the Geyada Mountains is under the attack of the Han and Tang armies? It has been completely occupied by the Han and Tang armies.

The Han and Tang armies even had a border defense line against the Golden Lion Empire? A number of tentative attacks were launched.

Undersecretary of War Stava said with a wry smile: "What we need most now are fighter jets and anti-aircraft missiles.

There are now 5 million defenders in Gaget City, how many people are defending the city? Not only is there no shortage, but there are also a lot of them.

Isn't that a few decades ago? More than 5 million army troops guarding such a city? If the bombing of the Han and Tang Imperial Air Force could not be suppressed, the consequences would be simply catastrophic. ”

Army General Gishay hesitated for a moment and said, "Marshal, in fact, the fall of the six provinces on this side of the New World is inevitable?" Why should we hold on to the city of Gaget?

As the marshal said? If we can't suppress the bombing of the Han and Tang Empire's air forces, even if we have more land forces, I'm afraid we will just die in vain. ”

Stava sighed and said, "Gaget City is the second capital of the Empire, and the Empire cannot give it up easily.

The next battle for the city of Gaget, no matter how hard? We can only grit our teeth and hold on. ”

At this time, there were guards to report, the Golden Lion Imperial Army General Feliso and the Flying Leopard Imperial Army General Herris? Ask to see Stava, the undersecretary of the War Department of the Black Bear Empire.

Feliso and Christo, respectively, inside the city of Gaget? Commander of the Golden Lion Army and the Flying Leopard Army.

Stava smiled bitterly and said to Gishay: "It seems that the strength of our defenders in Gaget City may be reduced. ”

As Stava expected? Golden Lion Imperial Army General Feliso and Flying Leopard Imperial Army General Herris? Just come and convey it to Stava? They each received an order to retreat from within the country.

Golden Lion Imperial Army Admiral Feliso sighed and said, "Marshal Stava, I'm very sorry, but the remaining 600,000 troops of our Golden Lion Empire's Royal Army in Gaget City must be withdrawn to the Spirit World.

With so many army units gathered in just one city, Gaget City, I am afraid that the next battle to defend the city, the loss of our coalition forces, will be unacceptable, after all, air supremacy is firmly controlled by the air force of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

General Herris of the Flying Leopard Empire followed and said, "Marshal Stava, the situation in Gaget City is no longer conducive to holding on, why don't you withdraw your troops to the Spirit World and make plans?" ”

Stava said with some bitterness: "General Feliso, General Herris, I would like to thank you for the help of your two armies.

On behalf of the Black Bear Empire, I would like to express my gratitude once again to the Golden Lion Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire.

However, Gaget City is the second capital of our Black Bear Empire, and our Black Bear Empire will never give up easily.

If the Han and Tang armies want to capture Gaget City, they must be prepared to pay a huge price! ”

In Stava's heart, he didn't have the slightest confidence in holding on to Gaget City, but as the supreme commander of the black bear army in Gaget City, he had to show his determination to live and die with Gaget City!

In the palace of Varidlo City, the first capital of the Black Bear Empire, Prime Minister Ania persuaded the Black Bear Emperor Denisor: "Your Majesty, even if you do your best, you have only raised less than 12,000 anti-aircraft missiles for the side of Gaget City, and now the defenders of Gaget City can only calculate and use them.

With such a small number of anti-aircraft missiles, it is impossible to resist the bombing of the Han and Tang Imperial Air Forces, is it possible to consider abandoning the plan of Gaget City? ”

Emperor Denisot asked with an unusually ugly face, "What did the Black Bear Empire say?"

Can you mobilize some anti-aircraft missiles for our Black Bear Empire? ”

Prime Minister Ania sighed and said: "The Han and Tang armies have begun to attack the border defense line of the Golden Lion Empire, and the Golden Lion Empire can't sell excess anti-aircraft missiles to our Black Bear Empire." ”

"What about the rest of the Alliance?"

"Your Majesty, the Han and Tang armies' attacks on other countries in the alliance have not stopped, and the air force of the Han and Tang empires controls air supremacy in all battlefields, so that the other countries of the alliance are also in short supply of anti-aircraft missiles.

It was not easy for us to buy those 5,000 anti-aircraft missiles from the Flying Leopard Empire before, but unfortunately the Flying Leopard Empire's anti-aircraft missile reserves have also bottomed out. ”

Emperor Deniso's face became even more ugly at this time, "How many fighter jets can the Air Force provide for Gatcht City now?" ”

"Your Majesty, because the airfield in Gaget City has been destroyed, the Air Force now has all its fighter jets deployed at the temporary military airfield around the Alternate Space Node on this side of Varidlo City.

However, now there are only 13 fourth-generation fighters and 246 third-generation fighters left in the entire air force, even if a few aircraft factories can produce more than 20 third-generation fighters every day, with the strength of the air force, I am afraid that the support for Gaget City will not be too great. ”

Since the giant screen at each alternate space-time node is two hundred meters wide and nearly 100 meters high, the fighter can directly fly to the other side of the world through the alternate space-time node.

Just as Prime Minister Ania finished speaking, a telegram came from the palace attendants.

Emperor Deniso took a look, and the whole person suddenly became very depressed, "The 600,000 Golden Lion Army and the 400,000 Flying Leopard Army in Gaget City will evacuate Gaget City.

Next, to defend Gaget City, we can only rely on our Black Bear Empire's own strength. ”

Prime Minister Ania took the telegram and looked at it, and then persuaded again: "Your Majesty, now on the New World side of our Black Bear Empire, including Gaget City, there are only 8 cities left that have not fallen, and 5 of them have reached the verge of falling.

And our Black Bear Empire has lost nearly 22 million people in this war so far, and the vast majority of them are young and strong men.

If the Empire defends the city of Gaget at all costs, perhaps the Empire will not even be able to muster up many forces to fight back in the future.

Your Majesty, although the empire has lost all the territory of the New World, this war is not over yet, and perhaps something will change in the future. ”

"Change?" Emperor Deniso smiled bitterly and shook his head, "With the strength of the Han and Tang Empires, can there really be changes?" ”

Prime Minister Ania suddenly lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, if the entire Nine Nations Military Alliance is completely driven out of the New World by the Han and Tang Empires, then our Black Bear Empire will also have to consider the situation on this side of the Spirit World.

Without the powerful enemy of the Han and Tang Empires, there are likely to be irreconcilable contradictions within our Nine Nations Military Alliance. ”

Prime Minister Aniah's words finally softened Emperor Denisso's attitude a little, "But how can I give an account to the subjects of the Empire if I give up the second capital of the Empire and all the territories on the other side of the New World?" ”

"Your Majesty, the subjects of the Empire, will understand your plight, after all, the Empire has shed too much blood to defend the six provinces on the other side of the New World.

Giving up now can at least save millions of families, if not tens of millions, from the pain of losing their loved ones.

What's more, even if our Black Bear Empire pays millions or even tens of millions of casualties, I'm afraid it won't help, and it will only make our Black Bear Empire lose more blood. ”

In an underground fortification in Gaget City, the second capital of the Black Bear Empire, when Starva, the deputy minister of the Black Bear Empire's War Department, received an order from Emperor Denisus to retreat, his body couldn't help but shake.

In fact, the tremendous pressure these days is almost overwhelming.

Under Stava's command, the Black Bear Empire has lost nearly 22 million people, and if it continues to hold on to Gaget City, Stava doesn't know how much that number will have to rise.

Stava even feared that if Emperor Denisor insisted on going his way, perhaps the Black Bear Empire would bleed up in Gaget.

However, Stava was ready to sacrifice, and even the suicide note was handed over to his wife.

"Herris, make a plan to evacuate Gaget City immediately! The order to retreat has arrived! ”

On September 24, 1577, the last black bear army in Gaget City withdrew from Gaget City through a different time and space node, and the entire Gaget City was occupied by the Han and Tang Dynasty armies.

On the same day, the other cities held by the Black Bear Empire on this side of the New World were all captured by the Han and Tang armies, and the remaining 9 million square kilometers of territory of the Black Bear Empire in the Western Continent were all owned by the Han and Tang Empires.

At the front headquarters of the Han and Tang armies near Gaget City, Li Donghu, commander of the Fifth Military Region, said to Xie Dong, chief of the General Staff of the Royal Army, with regret: "It's a pity that the Black Bear Empire has been coaxed.

Otherwise, we can use Gaget City to drain the blood of the Black Bear Empire. ”

According to the tenacity shown by the Black Bear Empire before, Xie Dong and Li Donghu both believed that the Black Bear Empire would hold on to Gaget City at all costs.

So Xie Dong and Li Donghu decided to move the front-line headquarters forward to the vicinity of Gaget City, preparing to command this battle to seize the second capital of the Black Bear Empire.

Xie Dong said with a smile: "That's okay, we can be regarded as completing the task assigned by the emperor ahead of schedule."

Next, we can put our energy into the Golden Lion Empire. ”

Li Donghu hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it better to solve the other beast countries and the three elf countries first, and then concentrate on dealing with the Golden Lion Empire?"

According to the news sent by the Royal Intelligence Bureau, the Golden Lion Empire has completed the special war mobilization, and has even reorganized hundreds of millions of troops, almost all of whom are soldiers. ”

Xie Dong said: "Actually, it is not easy for us to solve the Red Tiger Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, the Wild Bull Empire and the three elven countries first, these six countries have also completed the war mobilization, and any one country can come up with more than 20 million troops.

But if we can deal with the Golden Lion Empire first, and then deal with the three orc countries and the three elven countries, we may be able to surrender without a fight.

Of course, if those three beast countries and the three elf countries do not admit defeat, then our Han and Tang Empires can only continue to fight.

In this war, if we can't completely recover the entire Western Continent, our Han and Tang Empires will not sign any armistice treaty. ”
