Krenbis was an industrial city located in the northeastern part of the Norman Empire. In the 4th year of the last war, the coalition forces launched a strategic counteroffensive on both the northern and eastern fronts. In order to resist the Allied offensive, the Norman army gathered nearly 300,000 troops in six corps, and more than 100,000 National Guards to assist in the battle, and the Alster-Wessex coalition invested 450,000 ground troops and twice the opponent's aviation force. In the early stages of the campaign, the coalition forces broke through the Norman defenses outside the city of Krumbis in a devastating force, and the two armies engaged in an unprecedented street battle around the megacity of a million people. During the battle, the Norman army engaged in two counterattacks, once expelled the coalition forces from the city, and relied on the cover of urban buildings to lay a number of anti-aircraft traps, destroying and damaging many coalition flying warships. After that, the coalition forces transferred the main warships and ground heavy artillery to open the way with heavy artillery fire and advance jointly on the ground and ground, clearing the Norman army's firepower points one by one. During the 26-day assault and defense of the city, nearly eighty percent of the buildings in the city were completely destroyed, 370,000 dead and missing on both sides of the fighting, and nearly 200,000 civilians were killed. The battle ended with the capture of Krenbis by the coalition forces and the crippling of many elite Norman units, opening the door to the heart of the Norman Empire.

The three victories in the exchange of basic military skills and the exchange of military tactical capabilities were victorious, and the visiting Norman students could completely let go of their psychological burden and easily go into battle to deal with the last two wargames. On the other hand, on the side of the Buston students, the most leader and conductor among the third-year students, Mustegan was frustrated in the first game, and felt that he could not continue to play the role of chess player, and he intended to let Weiss play chess, but several other members of the wargame team did not agree with this, and they insisted that the reputation of all the third-year students should be taken first, and only Weiss should play a secondary role.

The situation was so bad that Mustegan had no courage to stand out from the crowd and had to compromise with his companions.

When he cast an apologetic look at Weiss, Weiss raised the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly.

In the second wargame deduction, third-year student Johns Rosent was playing chess on the side of the Barston Military Academy, and the Norman cadets also changed the chess player, and the "Heinz" who had spoken to Weiss the night before appeared on the stage.

In the morning's basic military skills event, the "Heinz" played two games, namely marching shooting and bayonet fighting. Marching and shooting, this guy hit a super score of 6 shots and 6 shots with 2 bullseyes, and his strength crushed the whole field. Bayonet Fighting, facing the top bayonet fighting skills among the third-year students of the Gaston Military Academy, he defeated his opponent with a score of 5-0. Such a dazzling performance has deepened Weiss's anxiety. Although Johns Rosen was the second-best overall scorer in the third grade, his grades were very balanced and his overall ability was on par with Mustegan – but only on par.

At the beginning of the chess game, the tactical layout of "Heinz" puzzled the spectators on the federal side: he took the initiative to abandon the fortifications outside the city of Klumbis, relying on the densely built urban area to organize defense, and after the enemy troops entered the urban area, he successively added troops to support the street fighting, and for the enemy flying fleet that bombarded the urban area and supported the attack, he only attacked and harassed the armored ships with fast speed and strong firepower. On the 7th day of the battle, Johns Rosen occupied two-thirds of the city through steady tactics, and it was only a stone's throw away from winning the battle, but in the first round of the 8th day of the battle, "Heinz" suddenly launched a counterattack from both the north and south flanks of the city at the same time. In order to prevent the opponent's counterattack, Johns Rosen made a textbook overall deployment with points and lines, and immediately dispatched the flying fleet to suppress the enemy's ground forces, but the result of the referee's judgment still confirmed Weiss's worries - the flank of the coalition forces on the chessboard was broken, and the main force attacking the city fell into the opponent's counter-encirclement, and a slight negligence of the chess player also lost his air superiority.

In 15 days and 30 rounds, Johns Rosen was helplessly defeated.

After Colonel Carlson announced the results, the audience fell silent.

The faces of federal officials and school officials who watched the game became very ugly. The military exchange has been carried out so far, and the cadets of the Gaston Military Academy, who are fighting at home, have actually lost five games in a row, and if they lose another game, how should they explain to the top of the federation and the outside world? Where does the Federal Army have face? Where is faith?

Before the start of the third wargame exercise, Captain Lindson, the bishop in charge of the military tactics course, came to the field and said some words of encouragement to the students participating in the wargame exercise, and he deliberately asked the disciples to ease their emotions and try to perform at a normal level. Just then, Principal Leno also arrived. The exchange with the Royal Norman Army Academy was certainly related to the centennial honor of the Gaston Military Academy, but Leno blamed the root cause of the poor performance of the cadets on the lax management style of the previous headmaster, who did not bring out the full potential of the cadets.

Muttering these unpleasant words, Principal Leno asked who would be in charge of the third game.

In the face of the harsh reality of back-to-back defeats by Musdegen and Johns Rosen, the members of the wargame team had to believe that only the unconventional second-year Klumber Haysom was their only hope of saving face.

After Mustegan reported Weiss's name to Headmaster Leno, he stared at Weiss with strange eyes for half a minute. He must have known something about the sophomore's past performance, and not long ago, Major Brooks of the Department of Military Intelligence personally "loaned" him away. In terms of academic performance, this second-year student is obviously not enough to compare with the best third-year students, but his outstanding performance during the spring conference exercise cannot help but make people full of curiosity and anticipation for him.

Finally, Principal Leno walked up to Weiss, reached out and patted his arm, and said, "It's all up to you!" ”

Weiss took a deep breath. In the face of distant visitors like wolves, can you win back a city for Baseton Military Academy? If it is for the sake of this fig leaf, to show the Norman cadets another tactical model of modern warfare in time and space, will it cause the consequences of small losses?

At this moment, Weiss was very hesitant.

But time did not allow him to think too much, and after ten minutes of preparation, the third long wargame deduction was all ready.

Colonel Carlson walked up to the Norman cadets as usual: "Please make sure who is in charge...... Good! ”

Weiss looked up at the opposite side of the sand table, and his opponent was a young man with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose and wide lips, giving people a sense of grandeur and bravery.

Will this person's appearance and temperament be a master of tactical thinking?

The Battle of Lake Valleden, which took place more than 50 years ago, was originally a punitive war of "fighting the small with the big", and the emphasis was on quick victory. In fact, compared to behemoths like the Ulster Free Federation or the Norman Empire, the territory of the Kingdom of Falane is simply a projectile land. At that time, this small country with a population of just over 800,000 people, under the covert instigation of the Norman Empire, annexed Vislenri on the eastern shore of Lake Wallaiden, a tribal confederation with a federal guarantee of independence, and forcibly incorporated Vislenri and its more than 40,000 inhabitants into the kingdom. This event sparked a war that lasted for 45 days, the first 30 days of the underground resistance group in Vislenri against the Farane army in the form of guerrilla warfare, the last 15 days when the Federation Army liberated Vislenry, and then swept along the shores of Lake Wallaiden to the entire territory of the Kingdom of Falaline, and entered the capital of the Kingdom of Falaline, Ryan. Invoking the Norman-Falaline Pact, the Norman Empire announced a national defense mobilization, and the Norman army quickly marched into the Kingdom of Fries, which was located between the Norman Empire and the Kingdom of Falaline, and entered the Kingdom of Falaline through the road. Norman and federal forces confronted each other in the Kingdom of Falane, nearly triggering a great power war. With the mediation of the international coalition and the neutral powers, the battle was settled with the simultaneous withdrawal of troops from the Norman Empire and the Free Confederation of the Ulster, and the return of the Kingdom of Falane and Vislenri, but it had a profound impact on the international landscape and laid the groundwork for the Great War more than thirty years later.

In terms of the situation and conditions at that time, the well-equipped and well-trained 60,000 Federal troops plus the small but familiar Vislenri guerrillas could defeat the 40,000 regular Falaine troops and the tens of thousands of improvised national troops as it was to chop melons and vegetables. The choice of this battle as a template for the wargame was not the intention of Musdegen and other students, but rather the instructions of the school, which in turn had some political considerations from the top of the federal military.

Just when Weiss was a little distracted, a loud and powerful voice came from the opposite side, which made him instantly concentrate.

"Cadet of the Royal Norman Army Academy, Olg Sutter-Ditern, please advise!"

"Cadet of the Barston Military Academy, Long Clumber Hazen, please advise!" Weiss hurriedly replied.

Under the auspices of the referee team, the two sides tossed a coin to determine the priority of choosing sides.

In the first two wargames, the Normans chose the side of the Norman Empire, whether they were chosen first or later. In the Battle of Wallaiden, although the Falaine army did not perform decently, its actual combat effectiveness was not bad. As quasi-allies of the Norman Empire, they did not hesitate to take out loans to purchase the standard equipment of the Norman army, receive training from Norman instructors, and also invited retired Norman officers to serve as military advisers. In view of this, Weiss felt that it was highly likely that the Norman cadets would choose the side of Fellaline's army in the wargame deduction, and if this was the case, the third wargame would be much less difficult to win than the previous two.

It is worth mentioning that at the time of the Battle of Wallaiden Lake, the mystery of the Star Source Stone had just been discovered, and the flying ship technology was in its embryonic state. In other words, it was a typical, purely flat war.

The coin that fell into Colonel Carlcent's hand, literally upward, meant that the Norman cadet opposite was chosen first.

"I'll choose the blue square!" Guozi face said without hesitation.

The blue side is the Federation army with the help of the Visrunri guerrillas!
