Chapter 1420: The Problem of Troop Strength

"You've been with me, and you should have been through the most chaotic phase of more than a year ago. Sauron said to Huller, "At that time, Char was a city with dozens of small groups that were working independently, and His Majesty was only one of them today.

These small groups attacked each other, constantly issuing contradictory orders that brought the entire coalition to a virtual standstill. Moreover, their behavior of pointing fingers at the military has hardly been broken, and sometimes there are even funny scenes. For example, in the morning a group orders the military to attack another group, but the military has not responded, and in the afternoon another group orders the military to attack the first group. Then the third group, the fourth group, and a number of other groups participated, and even if the military insisted, it was thrown into chaos.

Now, with the new Majesty on the throne, the remnants of the small group have been cleared one by one, and it seems that the situation has improved. But the problem is that our new majesty is not very much like a monarch who thinks completely about the Alliance, and many of his actions are harmful to the Alliance in a far-reaching way. ”

Sighing lightly, Sauron said seriously: "Let's let us send troops to Shalin this time, it's obviously not wise. In the past three years, Char has continued to be chaotic, but Shalin is developing at a terrifying speed, especially Atlanta City, which is no weaker than any city on the continent. Sending troops to such a city, whether or not they can successfully enter the city, the impact is not as simple as imagined.

I don't know where Sarin got a group of natural warriors, the Sparks, from the Northern Wilderness, but the bravery they displayed alone is enough to make us vigilant. Theoretically, it would only take tens of thousands of well-trained Sparks to dramatically alter the distribution of military forces on the border. Shalin openly said that there were less than 10,000 Sparks in the army, but no one dared to guarantee what the real situation was. In the unlikely event that there are several times as many Sparks in the sarin's army as announced, then we may send troops to sarin and set off a dangerous barrel of explosives that will blow us to pieces.

Of course, these are all small things, and in comparison, the most worrying is the lord of Sharin, Richard. Three years ago, we attacked the battle of the Truth Society, and you experienced it yourself, and the reason why we didn't lose and was able to turn the situation around in the end was because of each other. At that time, the strength of the other party was already strong to an astonishing extent - no one in the army could match, and perhaps only by letting many strong men of the alliance join forces could there be a few chances of winning.

About a year after the end of the war, the other party clashed with the lords of the neighboring territories, and they met at the border of Shalin, and I rushed over to see the other party use spells to establish power, and at that time, the strength of the other party had already improved. Now, two years have passed since that time, and it is really difficult to determine how terrible the other party is at the moment. If you really send troops to Shalin and anger the other party, it is very difficult to say what things will turn out of. If it's a little worse and it causes a chain reaction, maybe Char has just stabilized, and Char is going to be messed up again.

It is with this in mind that I have been hesitating these days, and whether it would be a good choice for me to put the right to command the army in the hands of the new Majesty now? Or ...... Wait, see, at least delay, don't let the army stand on the opposite side of the sarin so quickly......"

"But General, we can't afford to delay like this, can we?" said Huller, looking at Sauron.

"Of course I do. Sauron sighed, "If it's just Char who keeps passing orders, then it's nothing, don't say twelve, even one hundred and twenty, I can ignore it." I'm afraid that Char won't be able to hold it back, and he will ......"

At this point, Sauron stopped talking and saw a subordinate approaching outside the door.

"Come in. Sauron beckoned.

"Yes. The subordinate walked in and quickly reported, "General, just now, a person claiming to be an envoy entered the reef fort, saying that he had brought orders from His Majesty Char to see you directly. ”

"Alas, it seems, the most worrying thing...... It's already happening. Sauron listened and looked at Hull.

Hule: "......"

......

An hour later.

Commander's Mansion, Command Room.

A man in his thirties walked in, dressed in a gorgeous blue robe, with two moustaches on his lips, and extremely neatly trimmed, as if he had been painted.

The man walked into the command room, and when he saw Sauron, he did not show any haughty attitude, his two beards moved, and he bowed deeply in greeting: "General Sauron Bonaparte, I have finally met you, I have been famous for you for a long time, and I admire your intelligence and loyalty to the alliance very much. By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Ax Chazo, and I have come from the east with my majesty's personal orders. ”

"Hello, Mr. Xia Zuo. Sauron spoke up, "I don't know, what is the personal order that Your Majesty asked you to bring. ”

"Actually...... It's not too serious. Xia Zuo smiled, "That's right, Your Majesty has sent more than ten orders to Reef Fort in the past three days because of the matter of Shalin, and presumably these orders have been received by the general." It's just that Your Majesty hasn't seen the general's actions for a long time, and has not seen the general send anyone to Sharin, so I feel a little puzzled about this, let me take a special look, is there any problem?"

"Is there a problem, General?" said Xia Zuo, looking at Sauron, "Is it not ready, or is there something else?"

"It's a lack of troops. Sauron glanced at Xia Zuo and explained, "Although I want to carry out the order, I don't have any troops to send at the moment. ”

"There are not enough troops, and there are no soldiers to send?" Xia Zuo's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he laughed, "The general is really joking, there are more than 100,000 troops under your jurisdiction on this side of the frontier, and there are tens of thousands of troops within a radius of ten miles of the reef fort alone, how can there be insufficient troops?"

"The lack of troops is not just about quantity, but more about whether it can meet demand. There are indeed more than 100,000 troops on this border, but most of them have to guard important military positions and cannot be mobilized. There is also a part to be used to guard against the Sika Kingdom - as you know, in the national war three years ago, although the Sika Kingdom was defeated and negotiated peace with us, many of them still have the idea of revenge and have to guard against it.

These two things have already occupied ninety percent of the army's personnel, and the remaining one-percent personnel need a series of things such as public security, guarding, defense adjustment, training, and reorganization...... The argument that there is a shortage of troops does not accurately describe the current situation, and it is more appropriate to say that there is an extreme shortage of troops. Under such circumstances, it is really impossible to draw an additional team to send to Shalin in a short period of time. ”

"It's really impossible to pull out a single person?" Xia Zuo frowned and asked in confirmation.

"I really can't pull it out alone. Sauron replied earnestly.
