159 Joy and sorrow
"The Vilonsa region is not stable now, and in this case, we should not rush into war with the Holy Demon Empire...... Even if we have a military advantage, after we occupy it, there is no way to guarantee absolute stability in the rear. "The commander of the 2nd Army, General Rest, was full of concerns.
His troops are the main army group that Irlanhill focuses on, and if his troops are blocked in the Grecken area, it means that half of the army's armored forces will be scrapped in Griken.
The more modern the combat unit, the more dependent it is on logistical supplies. There are tens of thousands of vehicles and huge armored vehicles and tanks in the entire group army, and there may be a lot of engines scrapped every day.
What worries him even more is that once Gluck is to be reinforced, it may not only be used as the 2nd Army, but also as the main force of the 1st Army.
Counting the 7th and 9th armies that may come closer, and the 3rd Army, which has always served as the general reserve, nearly half of the troops of Elanhill are likely to take the initiative to burrow into the big pocket of the Holy Demon Empire.
Therefore, as the commander of the 2nd Army, it is necessary and obligatory for him to make His Majesty the Emperor aware of the serious problems that he himself may face: "We cannot pin all our hopes on the noble sentiments of the Holy Demon Empire. ”
"It's true that the magicians are getting excited right now, and some of the work we're doing there has been embraced by the locals, and some has been resisted." Deans, who was in charge of the interior, spoke.
Recently, there has been some instability in the Vilonza area, and the 2nd Army and the 7th Army can still maintain local stability when they are stationed there, but if these troops leave, it is not easy to predict whether there will be any chaos in the local area.
After all, it wasn't the Arrant Empire, nor was it the Dosen Empire, it had been ruled by the Holy Demon Empire for thousands of years, and their thinking was deeply rooted, and if they could change it in a short period of time, it would be hell.
Unless, Chris can destroy the entire Holy Demon Empire in a short period of time, and eliminate all hostile forces looking for trouble, otherwise the Vilonza region will continue to be in chaos like this, and it will be possible to settle down in a few years.
"If the magicians make trouble, it will put a huge strain on our logistics, and if we can't maintain stability in the rear, our mechanized troops can easily be paralyzed on the front line." General Wald of the 1st Army nodded and said.
Three years ago, Wald and Rester were ordinary young people in the army, and now at the age of thirty-five, they are sitting in the position of commander of the army group. This has to be said to be the miracle brought by the magic orb, and it is also the miracle of the rise of Iran Hill.

"yes, if those mages do attack the logistical supply lines, then our troops will all be lost in Griken." Chris is also worried that his troops will be intercepted by the other side to return home, and he will really want to cry without tears at that time.
It is very likely that the armored troops he has accumulated will be paralyzed in Griken and become scrap metal, and the Holy Demon Empire will gain a short-term advantage in strength to recapture the territory occupied by Irlanhill and turn the Higgs and other areas of Alleylandhill into battlefields.
"They all use magic, and we can't manage it, and any magician, if they want to, seems to be able to destroy our railroad tracks, or blow up roads." Dean is the minister in charge of internal affairs, so in addition to protecting Chris's guards, those guards who investigate and arrest are actually under his control.
He has a big say in this regard, and recently the Guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have captured thousands of magician rebels in the Vilonza region, more than the rebels in other regions combined.
As he spoke, Chris couldn't stop nodding, magicians are indeed not very easy to manage, these people seem to be born dangerous targets with guns, and managing them has to face countless times more complex problems than managing ordinary people, which in itself is a management cost.
"Indeed, it is very problematic! They can attack us, but we can't effectively supervise them......" Vageron had planned to start a full-scale war against the Holy Demon Empire in the next few months, but due to the turmoil in the Vilonsa region, he had not prepared his own attack plan yet.
Once the assault began, and the supplies hoarded in Veronsa were depleted, all supplies would need to be transported from the Higgs region. And if you want to attack the Holy Demon Empire itself, it is equivalent to crossing the entire Veronsa region and the war zone, and all the way you go are in the areas controlled by the magicians.
Once these magicians start causing trouble for Iran Hill, Ellan Hill's transport is likely to collapse in a short period of time. Even if they attacked the Holy Demon Empire, they would be in a dilemma, and in the end they could only draw most of their troops back.
"The Guards are already making great efforts to arrest people, but the Vilonza region is still not completely settled, we can effectively supervise and crack down on premeditated activities such as rallys, but we have no way to supervise those magicians who act alone." Dean paused as he said this, looking at Chris.
"We're worried about getting caught up in the ocean of the people's war......" Without waiting for Chris to speak, after a long pause, he continued in a slow tone: "If there are too many magicians acting alone, we will not be able to ensure the smooth flow of logistics. ”
The conference room was much quieter, and now no one let out unbridled laughter, and after being slapped in the face by reality, they could only admit in frustration that their previous idea of wanting to defeat the Holy Demon Empire immediately was still too naïve.
Although Alan Hill is strong, the flaw that its troops must rely on supplies is also very obvious, and when there is no way to guarantee their own supplies, the combat effectiveness of these troops is not much stronger than those soldiers armed with broadswords and spears.
"Let's change our book to the Holy Demon Empire...... Try to be as soft as possible in your language......" Desel, who was sitting next to Chris, opened his mouth to say his advice.
His words made everyone even more silent, after all, they had laughed in this conference room with His Majesty Emperor Chris, but now they could only give up their original plans and have no choice but to compromise with reality.
"No big deal, let's send our thoughts to Grecon and let them give us their opinions!" Chris squeezed out a smile and said, "If they think we just need a railroad to Grecken, then we'll do as they say." ”
"In the past, we occupied all mortal regions, and the contradictions were not really prominent. In the future, we will face more and more occupied areas of the Magic Empire, and now is the time for us to accumulate experience, don't be so sad. When he finished speaking, he got up with a smile and left the conference room.
Everyone's mood is very heavy, after all, the war cannot be fought in a short time, which means that the expansion of Iran Hill has entered a bottleneck stage, and Veronsa has become a tumor that is difficult for Iran Hill to swallow, and it is extremely uncomfortable in the throat and eyes.
Just when everyone was in a bad mood, Secretary Smith knocked on Chris's door and stood at the door of Chris's office.
This big engineer, who is very busy on weekdays, personally brought the work report this time, and the happy expression on his face could not be hidden.
As soon as he entered the door, he stuffed a test report to Chris, and opened his mouth to report the news that Chris wanted to hear the most: "Your Majesty! The geology department called, and the kind of stone you asked for that would kill you has been found. ”
"What kind of stone do you say? Wait, you say stones? Chris raised his head from the file and looked at his henchman Smith with a shocked expression: "You mean, the ore of uranium-235, we have found it?" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Geologists have found that kind of stone, and our reserves are not low, and can even be described as abundant. Smith didn't know what the stone was for, he was the minister in charge of industry, and he didn't have the authority to intervene in Project 596.
Because from the very beginning of this otherworldly version of the "project", all the data is at the top secret level, and only a few specific people know about it. Many of them only know the details of a few aspects, and when they sum up, they constitute the entire huge scale of 596.
After all, there is no need to calculate and calculate, and all the details can be copied down from the science and technology books, so the most torturous thing about the whole project is not the design and manufacturing, but the search for raw materials.
Now, this raw material has been found, which means that Chris has an incomprehensible super attack method. As long as he is really ruthless, he can destroy a city at once and leave an area without grass......
"Great! The ore is immediately mined and sent to the factory responsible for screening and purifying the ore...... It's the one we built before, the factory codenamed Y! Chris ordered excitedly.
Then he remembered some questions, looked at Smith and said: "The geologists and personnel who are looking for the ore veins are all in strict accordance with the regulations, and they have prepared a full set of radiation protection equipment before entering the mining area, right?" ”
"Because of the troubles, and the problem of transportation, they did not carry out the task exactly according to the regulations...... "Smith said regretfully", "It seems that 17 people are not feeling well ...... right now"
"I see...... Settle them as well as you can...... Don't make any mistakes! They are the heroes of the country! Chris walked to the door and turned back to Smith.
"Yes! Your Majesty! Smith nodded in agreement.
