A telegraph operator guarding the telegraph office in the city of Iran Hillseris held a headset with one hand, and recorded the contents of the telegram in a notebook with the other. Halfway through the recording, his eyes suddenly widened: "I'm X......"

He tore out the telegram, handed it to his superior, and said, "It's a big deal! Send this telegram to Your Majesty at once! ”

About half an hour later, the car of the Minister of Defense, Grand Duke Castera, stopped in front of the Ceris Castle and looked at Dilnes, the Interior Secretary of Iran Hill, who had also just arrived, with a shocked expression.

"It's urgent, so I'm not here to say hello! Please! Castena made a gesture for Dines to go first, and Dines made a gesture for Castner to go with him, and the two men walked side by side, carrying their respective secretaries, into the castle.

Rokai, the chief of staff of the General Staff closest to the castle, was already standing in front of the huge map in the conference room, debating to Chris about the strategic countermeasures that Iran Hill might unfold.

The meeting did not begin until everyone had arrived, Deser went south to inspect the commercial development of the Dorson area, and Sterred went to the grassland area on behalf of Chris, and was not in Seris.

Some of the remaining officials should be on their way to arrive, and Chris knew that Vaglon would arrive soon, and immediately ordered: "Let's not wait for them first, let's have a meeting!" ”

Everyone had a feeling of being caught off guard, and the first to speak was Castera, who looked at the map with a strange look on his face and asked, "Why would the puppet empire attack the Eternal Empire?" ”

"I don't know, maybe they're crazy, maybe they're bewitched by demons." Dean shook his head and looked at Chris, who had an ugly face.

Chris finally knows why he's been feeling uneasy for the last two days. Now he knew that the attitude of the puppet empire was actually the root cause of his constant uneasiness.

Castena looked at Luo Kai and asked very targetedly, "Why is there no information at all?" ”

"Do you think we can install spies in the puppet empire?" Luo Kai replied-for-tat.

"It seems that after the precautions have been strengthened, there are not many puppet empire spies on our side." With a wave of his hand, Dean explained, "The intelligence gains from both sides are limited. ”

Luo Kai nodded and continued to explain: "Frankly speaking, it's like two different races, and it's really not easy to blend into each other's countries. ”

"However, in comparison, the puppet empire has a natural advantage in mixing into our side, no matter how we control it, there will always be some fools with stupid ideas, but the puppet will not be discounted in executing orders......" Dean agreed with Rokai.

Indeed, in terms of intelligence, the Magic Empire has a natural advantage over Iran Hill, who has just risen. Although Iran Hill attaches great importance to the work of espionage, he cannot make up for the birth defect.

On the one hand, the intelligence penetration of the Magic Empire in the mortal world has always existed, and many spokesmen of the Magic World are hidden in the mortal world, which is a fact that cannot be changed in a short period of time.

On the other hand, it is the die-hard spies cultivated by Iran Hill, but they are all fresh faces on the side of the Magic Empire - the other party can easily find out Iran Hill's intelligence agents as long as they strictly check the personnel who have entered the territory of the Magic Empire in the last two or three years.

This kind of unequal intelligence warfare has made Irlanhill suffer a lot: although some information can be obtained from Grecan and the Eternal Empire, but on the whole, Irlanhill is in a state of loss in terms of spy warfare.

Chris interrupted and brought the conversation back in the right direction: "It's useless to discuss this now, the Eternal Empire is being invaded, and they're sending us and Grecken a telegram asking for help at the same time!" ”

"Actually, our reaction speed is already very fast compared to a few years ago, if it had been three years ago, we might not have gotten the news of the puppet empire's invasion of the Eternal Empire in a month." Luo Kai smiled self-deprecatingly and explained: "We have a mobilization plan, and we also have an aid plan, both of which were drawn up a few months ago. ”

"Hopefully, there won't be any mess in the implementation of these plans." Castena glanced at Luo Kai and said to Chris: "The Ministry of Defense still thinks that we should immediately mobilize the army and issue a combat readiness alert. ”

"Agreed!" Dean nodded.

Gullo, who had just walked into the room, pulled out a chair and nodded to Chris as he spoke: "Agreed! ”

Because he has been worried about any unfavorable moves by the puppet empire, Iran Hill is also making a lot of preparations. Many contingency plans are related to the puppet empire, and the most radical one even uses the Doma Empire to use long-range strategic bombers to carry out strategic nuclear strikes on the puppet empire.

Of course, the plan itself has too many shortcomings, and the air force of Irlanhill does not recommend the use of such a means of attack unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, the puppet empire is a super magic empire that can go head-to-head with Grican, this empire is too mysterious, and rashly using nuclear weapons to attack may not have much effect.

If the nuclear weapon is taken away by a high-level magician as powerful as Vivien, who is in the hands of the other party, then wouldn't Elle Hill make a wedding dress for someone else?

In addition, transporting nuclear bombs into the Norma Empire was not a good plan, so this plan was regarded as a last resort to counterattack, and was pressed at the bottom of all plans.

"The Puppet Empire is already on the side of the demons, there's no doubt about that. Now the question is ......" Chris wants to sum up and then release some reinforcements against the Eternal Empire, as well as a strategy against the Puppet Empire.

"Dangdang! Report! But before he could say this, he was interrupted by a knock from an officer at the door.

"Come in!" Chris had a bad premonition and commanded.

"Your Majesty! The news I just got was brought by a dragon knight of the Holy Demon Empire who ventured across the border, and the Holy Demon Empire was already on the side of the puppet empire! The officer handed the message to Chris and saluted.

Just now, his colleague handed Chris the news of the puppet empire's declaration of war on the Eternal Empire, and now, he has come to report the news of the Holy Demon Empire's declaration of war on Ellan Hill.

"What?" Hearing the news, Castena stood up from his seat in shock, the Holy Demon Empire declared war on Iran Hill at this time, which really made matters worse.

By his side, Gurlo also felt that this matter was too unbelievable: "How is this possible? ”

In their opinion, since the Holy Demon Empire let the railroad pass through their territory, it was tantamount to siding with Iran Hill and Griken, how could they rebel at such a time?

Dean was also reluctant to believe the situation they were facing: "What is the Holy Demon Empire doing?" Are they crazy? ”

Kastner looked at Dean and reluctantly confirmed, "Isn't our westward railroad finished?" ”

"The whole railroad is in danger of being attacked...... "Deans felt bad, and he could even feel what Chris was feeling right now.

"What about the supplies of the 9th Army?" Luo Kai's face was pale, he looked at Chris, who also looked ugly, and asked subconsciously.

He is now a lonely army, hundreds of thousands of troops have no logistical supplies, for Iran Hill, it is hundreds of thousands of lambs to the slaughter.

"At this time, there is no time to worry about the 9th Army! On the entire railway, at least tens of thousands of road maintenance troops, management personnel...... Finished! It's all over! "Minister Smith of the technical department, who has not spoken, is distressed, and those are all talents that have been trained and accumulated.

You have to know what Iran Hill lacks the most right now? It's talent! Every position needs a lot of talents, even with the help of the magic ball of knowledge, the talent gap is difficult to fill in a short time.

But this time, just on the first day of the war, Iran Hill had to lose about 50,000 railway professionals, and this was the real heartache.

"Dangdang!" Chris clenched his fists and pounded on the heavy solid wood conference table, causing the entire conference room to fall silent.

He stood up, his fist pressed down on the table, leaned forward slightly, glanced at everyone, and said, "Now! Let's find out if the Holy Demon Empire is really at war with us! I want a sure order! ”

"Order the 1st and 2nd armies to immediately be ready for battle! Let Walter wait for my orders! If war breaks out! He needs to attack immediately along the railway line! Hit as far as you can! Be sure to rescue the supplies and personnel! "Chris gave the order to prepare for battle first.

Then he continued to command: "Once the war begins, let the 2nd Army cover the flanks of the 1st Army!" Advance to the southwest! ”

Immediately after that, he gave a third order: "At the same time as the war begins, General Wilkes' 3rd Army will attack north from the southern sector!" Join forces with the 2nd Army to encircle all the defenders on the border of the Holy Demon Empire! Don't let any of them go! ”

Finally, he looked at the commander of the Air Force, Butolia, who had not spoken, and opened his mouth to order: "Dispatch all the strategic air forces that can be found!" Bomb the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire! ”

"Send a telegram to the 9th Army! Let them save ammo! Shrink your line of defense as much as possible! ......Although he already knew that the 9th Army was expected to be more than lucky, Chris still felt that he could try to make them hold on a little longer.

If the 1st Army could recapture the Westward Railway within a few dozen days, the 9th Army, which was hanging alone, would almost be able to be rescued.

And as long as the 1st Army's offensive goes well, the 2nd and 3rd armies attack the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire, and the 9th Army can successfully relieve the difficulties, then when this war will end, it is Chris who has the final say.

"Gentlemen! Get ready! A great battle! It's about to begin! Chris stared at his men in front of him, and said word by word.
