"Master, do you really want to do this? Once launched according to your plan, the territory we have laid and the ethnic autonomous regions and countries we have cultivated are likely to face a situation of collapse, don't look at those nationalists who are now shouting the slogan of national independence, but when the butcher's knife of the anti-Han League reaches their necks, I am afraid that all the national 'heroes' will disappear, and they will either surrender to the enemy and become national 'bears' or die......

Qin Xue'er persuaded with some puzzlement.

"When we defeated Austria-Hungary, didn't we capture a large number of Austro-Hungarian rifles and Gatling guns? And the Austro-Hungarian arsenals, which were large enough to produce barely working Gatling guns, gave them to the militias of the nation-states and autonomous regions loyal to us, and then instructed them to build World War I-style trenches in their home defenses.

These ethnic armed personnel are still quite crazy about the concept of defending their hometown, and we can just take advantage of this spirit, don't look at the large area controlled by our Han army, but in fact, most of the areas bordering the anti-Han allies are ethnic autonomous regions, and only the Italian peninsula needs our own army to defend.

If I remember correctly, the size of the Italian Han Concordia Army and the Independent Army was also hundreds of thousands, and if we pulled them all to the defense line of the Italian peninsula, and assisted our mobilized garrison to form a defensive line on the spot using trenches and barbed wire machine guns, I would like to tell the Europeans of the anti-Han Allies that times have changed, and in the face of the defensive positions of machine guns, barbed wire trenches and high-powered artillery, the attack and death will be infinitely close to the 'equal sign'! ”

Qin Xue'er looked at Lin Haoda, who had a fierce face, and asked in a daze: "Master, do you plan to turn our army's existing control area into a meat grinder during the First World War in history?" However, although the militias of the nation-states were sufficient, did they really have the courage to resist the well-trained and war-torn regular army of the anti-Han allies?

Also, after the start of the battle, did our armored divisions really ignore the rear?

In the event that the defenses of the Italian peninsula crumble, the rule we had just established would probably collapse......"

"Hehe, Qin Xue'er, you are too worried, there are tens of thousands of mobilized soldiers on the Italian Peninsula to build permanent fortifications and hundreds of thousands of Italian Han Association army cannon fodder, even if the anti-Han Allied State breaks through the border position, it will not be able to hit the Roman city, the Italian Peninsula is big, if tens of thousands of mobilized soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Italian Han Conlide's troops only defend and not attack, how many people will the anti-Han Allied State have to pay to push it to the vicinity of Roman City?

As for the rest of the Italian peninsula, it is of little value to us, we just need to save the city of Rome and Pope Pius IX, and we can make a comeback and sweep back.

The other occupied areas are just the passages we used to attack the Romanian oil fields, and it is not a big deal if they are cut off, Qin Xue'er, you prepare, soon we will be transferred to the Romanian oil field area with the commanders of the Han military government and the General Staff, which will be the starting point of our attack.

I'd rather see if it was my armored division that attacked faster, or the anti-Han allies who attacked faster. ”

Qin Xue'er rolled her eyes helplessly, her own master really doesn't take the lives of civilians seriously, where there is a benefit to attack, this can avoid the defect of too long a battle line and insufficient troops, and can also destroy the enemy's living force on a large scale, after all, the number of veterans of the anti-Han Allied State is limited, and there is an upper limit to human resources.

The anti-Han allies can't be like Lin Haoda, summoning an army that can be directly pulled onto the battlefield out of thin air, and there is still a big difference between the newly mobilized recruits and the veterans of the regular army.

The reason why the Habsburg royal family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire agreed to sign the humiliating treaty before the destruction of the country was because the regular army units of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were '' by the Han army in turn, and only a bunch of militia armed and mobilized troops remained, so naturally they could not continue to fight......

The anti-Han allies also understood this truth, but they were confident that they had the support of human resources from the whole of Europe behind them, and they didn't care about this kind of consumption!

If Lin Haoda, the unscientific 'demon', is not eliminated, the leaders of the anti-Han allies will not be able to sleep well!

Regarding Lin Haoda's decision, Qin Xue'er naturally had no room for refutation, if he made Lin Haoda unhappy, he didn't know how to punish himself in bed......

Therefore, Qin Xue'er euphemistically raised a question that had to be taken seriously.

"What about those Austro-Hungarian captives and concentration camp farmsteads on the Italian peninsula?"

"This problem is easy to solve, after the Romanian oil field production equipment is put into production, it just needs a lot of labor, these Austro-Khanoi prisoners of war will never be put back, they have been tortured for so long, even if they do not join the army after returning home, they will be full of hatred towards us, except for a few prisoners of war left to serve as coolies around the city of Rome, all the other Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war are pulled to the Romanian oil field area!"

"However, the Romanian oil fields could not accommodate so many Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war ......"

"Qin Xue'er, have you ever heard of the term 'Death March'?

There are so many Romanian prisoners of war, we can't use the precious railway line capacity and vehicles to cloud them over, we can only rely on their two feet, the Italian peninsula is far from Romania Everyone knows, we have to use the fastest speed to urge these Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war to hurry, in such a difficult environment, there will naturally be some 'normal' attrition.

For example, prisoners of war who are weak after a long march will die of exhaustion, starvation, disease, suicide if they can't stand the pain of the march, etc., in short, there will be many reasons why these prisoners of war die.

I will ask the General Staff to draw up a detailed plan for the march of prisoners of war, which will make these hundreds of thousands of Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war reasonably walk and die while walking, and can also ensure the maximum speed of marching, and when they reach the Romanian oil fields, the few remaining Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war can be tolerated in any case, and the most important thing is that the prisoners of war left over from the death march must be 'good boys' with good bodies and 'reliable' thoughts, and they can be used with peace and effort. ”

Qin Xue'er blinked her eyes wide, and felt a burst of horror at Lin Haoda's serious narration of the cruel way of eliminating prisoners of war, and she couldn't help but think of the once indescribable situation, leather whips, candles, and ......

"Yes, master, I will ask the relevant departments to fully cooperate with the relocation of Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war."

"Well, I also want to prepare the people below to prepare for the withdrawal of troops from the ethnic autonomous region, I don't want the precious mobilized soldiers to be buried with those newly established nation-states!"
