"Who did this?" Seeing the news of the annihilation of the advance force, which had fifteen tanks and a large number of armored vehicles, the rebel leaders of the League of Nobles had to call an emergency meeting.

And this sentence is a question raised by a count from the middle of the kingdom of Capani, who has newly joined the rebels of the noble alliance.

"No one knows exactly who did it, because according to the information we had planted in Carretton, it seems that the force was wiped out overnight in that cramped position. On the other side of the road, there was a hillside separated by a river, and there was a steel bridge that had been built before, and it was possible to go around that hillside. One of the barons recounted the information he had received, and then added:

"This unit is said to have very good firepower, and the local kingdom is ...... After careful investigation, the royalist army found that the opponent actually had a 155mm heavy howitzer (the explosive power of the 150mm German-made high-explosive grenade was almost the same as that of the 155mm high-explosive grenade, or even equal. Our convoy seems to have been gradually suppressed by the opponent's own firepower with this artillery and a gun with a caliber of about 105mm, and then destroyed by the opponent's tank forces. ”

"Does this mean that we were hit by a premeditated ambush by the enemy?" A nobleman pondered for a moment, and then uttered what he thought was the most plausible inference.

In fact, his reasoning was correct.

It's just that for Zhang Shixin, he hopes that the battle the night before yesterday will be called a premeditated but not perfect ambush battle.

Not to mention what Zhang Shixin thought of the battle the night before yesterday, the thing that must be dealt with in front of the Noble Alliance now is their next move.

Now that the battle has been taken by surprise, it is better to continue to attack Carretton, who has been prepared, or let the follow-up main forces stand by and wait for the next move.

The crowd immediately disagreed, but for a long time they did not come up with a plan that could convince most people.

An old man at the round table silently looked at the scene in front of him, and then said, "Don't argue anymore, now that our Mukar Evan has not expressed his opinion, then we might as well listen to his plan." ”

Accompanied by the old man's words, everyone focused their eyes on a young officer.

Mukar Evan also didn't expect that the damn old fox would actually take him out to stop the scene, and in a moment of helplessness, he met everyone's eyes and said his opinion:

"Personally, I'm more inclined to attack, after all, it's not just about the last effective supply line of the royalist Army's Southeast, and it is said that those in Capani want Her Royal Highness Princess De Perry, who has now been confirmed to be under the protection of the Southeastern Army, to return to Capani through this route."

Mukar said this, paused for a moment, and then continued: "If this news is really correct, we can take the opportunity to take Carretton and Huros and wait for the rabbit. ”

When everyone heard this, although they all knew very well that this person with a lot of ambition had always had a lot of ** for the pearl of the kingdom, at the same time, this kind of strategic plan with practical significance was not something that Mukal could come up with at all.

However, it has to be said that it is really a brilliant plan, and if it succeeds, they will have the upper hand completely.

Both militarily and politically, they will no longer be as passive as they are now.

After some deliberation, the people agreed to this plan, and Mukar Aven was appointed commander of the operation.

The meeting ended amid all the good predictions of the crowd.

However, after the meeting, everyone did not notice that the cousin of Mukar Aven, who was also his staff, was also his staff, and Kootis Cayton Ellor had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

……

That night, when Kootis returned to his lodgings, he lay on his bed, opened his pocket watch, looked at the cross and the dark red blood on it, and silently muttered: "Dean, Sister Cotina, brothers and sisters, soon, I will be able to let that bastard who took you away from me and send him to hell." Hopefully that guy won't let me down......"

After a while, Kootis couldn't help but think of that scene, a scene he would never forget.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

One early morning eight years ago, a young man who had taken a vacation from his study trip to the royal capital of Capani carried his luggage on his back and a large bag of gifts bought with the money he earned from his work-study program, trotting along the large stone pavement in Anermo, despite the fierce words on his head and the beads of sweat that kept sliding down his face, he hoped to see his "relatives" sooner: the kind old director of an orphanage, who often made fun of him, but took good care of him, Sister Cotina, and a dozen of his younger siblings.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo ...... It's almost there. The young man kept cheering himself up, and while his face showed a happy look, his feet quickened even more.

It's just that when he walked to the top of the mountain where he had lived for several years, what he saw was not the familiar stone house, but a pile of ruins still emitting green smoke......

The gift bag in his hand then slid to the ground, and the boy took a few steps back, shook his head in disbelief, and then ran into the rubble as if he had gone crazy, digging with his own hands......

In the end, the fingers of both hands could only move lightly, and it was almost obvious that the severe wear and tear of the bones had caused the young man to lose too much blood and fall into a semi-coma......

However, when he saw that it was worthless, but it was a silver cross pendant that he had bought with his own money the previous year, a silver cross pendant, he could not believe it, because it was held tightly by a hand buried in rubble......

The cross was stained with bright red blood......

This seems to explain something to the teenager......

Finally, the boy's eyes went black and he collapsed on the rubble......

Eventually, the boy was found and resuscitated by the locals, but a few days later, the doctors at the hospital found the frail boy missing.

No one knows where he went, and no one knows how he was.

As if this person never existed......

………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

"Mukar Aven, you must die!! Whoever can help me defeat Mucar, my life is his. ”

Cootis closed his pocket watch, took him in his arms, looked at the ceiling, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

"This telegram ...... Did you say it was sent by that person? Sitting on the bed looking at a note, Torth III whispered to his friend.

Durrell, the man who had given the telegram to Thoth III, pondered for a while and said, "There may be many who know his identity, and there may be many who know that he is from Ellmo." But there are very few people who think that he has been missing for so long since the incident eight years ago and is still alive. ”

Durrell paused for a moment, and continued in an almost word-for-word tone: "He is probably the only person who can call the two of us by that nickname. ”

"yes, it seems that he is the only one. This bastard didn't contact us for so long, we really thought he was dead. Luckily, he's still alive, and your little cousin doesn't have to be like a nun all day. Thoth III smiled slightly, and then his face turned grim: "Since this telegram is beyond doubt, what should we do now?" We don't have the strength to do this now. ”

"According to the normal situation, the troops that we can move freely now are indeed a bit stretched, but aren't we creating a new batch of imitation KTM-35 tanks? That's where it comes in handy. Durrell remembered the batch of medium tanks that imitated the No. 1 C, although I don't know how effective it was, but since the strict crazy designers said that unless they hit the newly imitated combustion engine, this kind of tank is generally very good.

He couldn't help but think of his understanding of the new tank.

……

Durrell didn't know much about tanks, but he also knew that the main engine was the energy guide engine, which was characterized by a long effective time but low output.

And the mysterious tank that they bought back was a combustion engine that they had never touched, and the same energy was consumed very quickly, but the power comparison far left the conductive engine far behind.

It's just that the energy stone of this world is an unstable existence, and a little spark can easily detonate it, so the team responsible for transforming the engine has replaced several times, because the experimenters have been killed and injured, and almost the entire team has been scrapped.

To do this, the madman had to mix the energy stones with a long-discovered, worthless suppression powder (because no one would do that). I must improve the stability of the energy particles ground into powder. But then the effective combustion rate plummeted by one level.

However, the data proved that the KTM-35 medium tank, which weighed a little slower than the KTL-31 light tank in service in the Kingdom, was slightly slower in speed and was completely acceptable.

At the same time, the newly developed 50mm-GTP35-L40 tank gun, after making major improvements, can completely throw off the existing tank guns on several streets.

For example, the stability of the shell and the accuracy of the shell, after referring to the design of the tank's shells, after several failures like "fireworks", finally adopted the same treatment scheme as the engine, adding a powdered propellant that inhibits powder instead of the original long energy crystal, after referring to the design of firing and ignition, the tank gun with the gun supercharger removed not only greatly reduced the weight between the two when firing the corresponding caliber shells, but also greatly improved the accuracy.

Although it is still not as accurate as the reference product, it is rare to have more than a distance where God knows where to hit.

This correspondingly increased the combat strength of this gun.

On the other hand, the new type of shell, which also refers to the warhead of the shell and improves the proportion of the charge, directly increases the power of the shell.

And this is precisely an aspect that cannot be ignored (the charge coefficient of artillery shells in Germany at that time was the highest average among all the warring states, but the charge coefficient was too high, which correspondingly weakened the armor-piercing power of the shells in disguise. It's just that it can achieve enough penetration, and the high reload coefficient of the shell has more benefits).

However, these two can make these improvements with the rapid-fire firearm, but for the electric transmission frame of the Type 1C, the madman said that he could not do anything, the transmission structure between the two is completely different, and the electric transmission effect of the turret is impossible to experiment with, and the related delicate parts are the products that a madman has never seen.

Therefore, in several preset tests, when the turret could not rotate semi-automatically, the madman had to abandon this aspect of imitation and follow-up, and instead used the corresponding template to set up a new set of corresponding energy transmission system for the KTM-35 medium tank.

Although the rotation speed is still a little slow, but it can be applied enough in a combat environment, then the madman feels that he is not a complete failure.

In general, the new KTH-35 medium tank is a reference to the Type 1C, with a substantial modification of the actual situation.

But the madman was most interested in the black liquid fuels called petroleum, and he experimented that the energy coefficient of the complete combustion of oil was between 15 and 20 percent higher than that of the stable energy powder he had studied.

This also represents a huge gap.

In the end, when he wanted Wang's [***] department to strongly recommend this KTH-35 medium tank, he just said one sentence: "It can strengthen the overall strength of Wang [***] to a higher level." ”

This sentence made the Wang [***] department immediately place an order for mass production after a short discussion.

And now, in just fifteen days, 45 KTH-35 medium tanks have been produced, which is enough to form a fairly powerful combat force.

Although there are still many weaknesses, which tank does not have corresponding problems?

……

Thinking of this, Durrell suddenly heard Torth III talking to him, and hurriedly came back to his senses.

"Since the problem of combat strength is not big, we can consider this suggestion, but do we really have to use Leah as bait?" Thoth III shook his head slightly, then held his right hand on his forehead and sighed helplessly.

Durrell knew that Torth III really didn't want to involve his cousin in the war, but he also knew that Princess de Perry was a huge factor in the success of the plan.

He was also caught between a rock and a hard place.

Seeing that his friend was silent, he knew that he was also embarrassed, so he had to think about the gains and losses of this matter by himself.

If successful, the rebel nobles will be completely disillusioned after losing those armored units, and a few regular infantry divisions will easily pacify each other in one fell swoop, and the kingdom will be able to concentrate its forces against foreign enemies.

But if it fails......

Naturally, Torth III knew that if he failed, the Capani royal family was about to officially declare the blood sever, so not only the country to the west, but also the ally in the north would not mind a piece of the pie.

Moreover, the local nobles will declare themselves in the name of inheriting the country, and the entire Capani kingdom will be in a war and out of control, and it will not stop until the country is destroyed.

As for whether Leah would be captured alive by the other party, Torth III felt that he didn't have to mind this question at all, and if the rebels succeeded, then they would get Leah's corpse.

"......" Thoth III pondered for a long time, and finally sighed slightly, and said: "Send a telegram to Odeel and ask him to send Leah back to Capani City, and I will give those people two days to familiarize themselves with the surname Neng, and after two days, let them integrate two mechanized regiments to form an armored brigade, which will be called the 1st Armored Guards Brigade of the Royal Family." Besides, don't you have a way to contact that big brother's troops? ”

Durrell shook his head, then remembered a piece of information he had received today from the Carretton militia unit, and said uncertainly: "There was a battle in Carretton last night in the southern part of the area, and a light armored regiment of noble rebels was surrounded and annihilated on an S-shaped road line, and this method of combat seems to be the same as the usual method of the mercenary leader. If nothing else, it should be the mercenary leader's doing. ”

"Hmm...... You're saying that big brother did us a great favor by knowing information we didn't know? Thoth III raised his eyebrows and continued: "The other side may also have their own intelligence channels, and that situation can be very advantageous for us. Now I hope that big brother doesn't run to the border line to do any side hustle again. Although it is also very beneficial for us. But if we let other countries know that His Royal Highness the Prince of our Kapani Kingdom is actually a notorious and ruthless (there is no visible living mouth, it is Zhang Shixin's style of acting) transport team attacker, Kapani's hungry wolf (as long as it is a material, it will be robbed, it is also Zhang Shixin's style of acting), then where will our country's face be placed??? ”

At this point, Thoth III pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Well, let the party that will depart in two days bring me a small gift—the other party seems to be very fond of gold, and though he does not know what the other party is doing with so much gold, you will offer me three hundred ...... in the treasury No, 500 kilograms of gold as my tribute to him as compensation for him. Let the commander of the party hand it to him when he sees him, and at the same time convey my greetings and tactfully say that I want him to put the face of the kingdom first, and that the worthless supplies will be burned without even robbing the basin or anything like that. ”

In the eyes of many people who know the general situation, attacking the convoy is nothing more than a means of war, and looting supplies is also a means of war.

If you just look too ugly, not only your enemies, but even your own people will despise you.

Obviously, Toth III, who has a good impression of Zhang Shixin, thinks that Zhang Shixin's appearance is really ugly, let alone others.

If Zhang Shixin knew what Thoth III meant, he would definitely be innocent, and then pointed to a group of guerrillas in Hebrew who were not much better than Hanako, and said, "Don't you see that they don't need a basin?" Don't need animal soap? Don't need a toothbrush? …… The most important thing is that fuel also needs silver coins, and a barrel of oil is also silver coins......"

Then, a certain elven dragon seemed to be unable to look at it, and appeared and slapped Zhang Shixin's face......

Fortunately, Zhang Shixin didn't know such words, didn't he?

Uh, it seems off topic, back to business.

After watching his friend leave his room, Torth III hoped that this plan would succeed, not only for the fate of the kingdom, but also for the fate of Leah in the future.

"Brother Si Xin, I hope you can protect our common treasure again this time." Thoth III slowly closed his eyes.

He never woke up after that......

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

A few days later, Mukar Evan received encrypted information from a senior officer in Army Group Southeast, whom he trusted:

Princess DePerry has set off to return to Capani City.

With a look of excitement, he slammed the information in his hand on the table, and then asked Caotis to summon his senior officers to a meeting.

At the moment of closing the door, Caoutis showed a strange smile with his head bowed:

It's all about to begin, and soon, I'll be able to atone for what you've done......

After looking up again, Caoutis smiled again and continued to greet acquaintances.

……

And in the meeting room of the Capani Palace, the king's ministers gathered again.

"It's all taken care of. It's just that we do this, is it what a courtier should do? Not even the funeral of their own monarch, and they need to maintain their work as normal. The Minister of the Palace, Gramos Girao, shook his head softly and expressed his unwillingness.

Although Toth III was an incompetent king, he was worthy of his kingship, but he gave up his funeral and buried him secretly, which was difficult for many informed ministers, including Gramos, to accept.

"Since the person concerned has long asked for this, let's do it according to his wishes, which is also our respect for Your Majesty. Also, Durrell, how are things arranged? Druka Hodivan asked Durrell.

After glancing at the participants, Durrell said in a confident tone: "Everything is arranged, the 1st Armored Guards Brigade of the Royal Family has departed, and the commander is Lieutenant General Giñas Duren, and everyone knows his ability and loyalty. Moreover, Crown Prince De Perry's side also arranged troops with good strength. Ensure that even if things go against our will and the situation is out of control, they will be able to escort Crown Prince De Perry to quickly break through to the defense zone where General Gurati has moved forward. In addition, there is information that Mukar Aven is also preparing to start his own operation. ”

Speaking of this, Durrell paused for a moment and picked up his topic in a helpless tone: "And the biggest uncertainty is that the elusive armored mercenary force, according to the intelligence collected by the intelligence bureau, the other party seems to have left the central region of the kingdom, and we have no way to contact him at all. ”

"In other words, it is very likely that the other party did not know the key to this battle, and directly missed this important battle related to the fate of the kingdom and Crown Prince De Perry?" Curtis Lund groaned and spoke.

Durrell nodded with an embarrassed face: "Yes, General Curtis." There is a good chance that what you are talking about will happen. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became cold.

Druka Hodivan rubbed his temples lightly and said helplessly: "Since this is the case, we have to prepare more. Now let's discuss what we should do next. ”

The crowd at the conference table kept saying their own suggestions.

At dusk of the same day, several infantry divisions of Wang [***], who were confronting the noble rebels, launched a fierce attack on the noble rebels, trying to force the other side to order the transfer of armored troops to return to help.

It's just that both sides know very well what kind of person that Murka Evan is.

Can you expect an ambitious person to juggle life and death in his eyes as nothing more than a future subordinate, and a dispensable kind?

Therefore, the main purpose of Wang [***]'s move is to oppress the living space of the noble rebels as much as possible, and do his best to cover up the clues of the king's death.

Due to the lack of strong mobile support from the armored forces, the noble rebels were defeated one after another, and the king [***] quickly recovered a large number of noble territories, and quickly dispatched local officials to re-establish an effective management system.

It's just that both sides know that this is just a small fight, and as long as the battle there is a result, things will really settle.

In the end, the aristocratic rebels can get a broken Capani kingdom, or can the king [***] take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the kingdom's aristocratic system in one fell swoop, so as to integrate all the country's strength against foreign enemies.

It all lies in Huros, the city of which is about to break out, what both sides can get......

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

Two days later, in a wooded area north of Huros, a team of six chariots, two self-propelled guns, and a dozen other vehicles quietly looked down on the city of Huros in the distance.

Auburn, who is now the new commander of the F2 Type 4, is communicating with the Chaper's Commander Andier: "The commander is still in the mood to go shopping at this time, I really don't understand. ”

"Well, it's not that Miss Hurley's pleading. Looking at her like that, do you think he can refuse as a commander? Andil smiled slightly, and then continued: "Compared to this, the bunch of people behind you, don't you care?" ”

"......" Auburn reluctantly looked back at the growing Knights of the Bonfire, and the Gures who was constantly bewitching in new games, and shook his head: "Do you think I can handle such a situation?" ”

"That's true, speaking of which, if the Commander knew about this, what would his expression be?" Andil asked curiously.

"I guess you and I can't escape a scolding. It's just, how do I think Miss Hurley will be happy when the time comes...... Hahahaha......" Auburn said, and the two of them immediately looked at each other and smiled.

"Well, there seems to be a situation...... "When Auburn raised his binoculars to observe the situation, he noticed a convoy coming from the east of Huros, and the two men immediately observed the situation of this convoy in silence.

After a while, the convoy stopped at the east gate of Huros, about 500 meters away, where a group of heavily armed soldiers, led by several people, lined up to welcome a few people who came down from a small car in the convoy......

"One in a long white dress and blue hair; A blonde-haired man in a wheelchair followed behind, and a chestnut-haired one pushed her...... Looks like some kind of dignitary, Auburn...... Well? Hey, Auburn, what's wrong with you, your face is so bad. Andil looked at Auburn, whose face was getting worse and worse, and couldn't help but care.

"Nothing, hopefully our commander isn't so unlucky." Auburn said this sentence helplessly, and thought to himself: "God, the commander is a good man, don't bully him like this." ”

……

Walking on the somewhat deserted street of Huros, Zhang Shixin helplessly glanced at Hurley, who was very interested in local specialties, and didn't understand why the other party was so excited.

It's just that when he saw Hurley's happy expression, he didn't say anything, and thought, "Let her be happy." ”

The two of them, under the protection of several plainclothes soldiers, walked slowly down the street and watched.

It's just that what they don't know is that a small car, guided by several cars, slowly drives through the street.

"Parking !!" A girl with long blue hair couldn't help but shout loudly when she saw the familiar background in front of a stall and the black hair.

The convoy stopped a few dozen meters ahead.

"Clucking...... "clucking" heels made a characteristic sound when they kept stepping on the stone floor.

"Come on, villain, open your mouth, ah......" In front of the blue-haired girl, a red-haired girl was holding a skewer of barbecue and reaching out in front of the background......

It's getting closer......

"Eat it yourself, I'll smoke a cigarette first." In front of the blue-haired girl's eyes, the black-haired young man took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and then bit down on a cigarette that appeared in the opening......

It's closer......

"Where's my lighter???" "I hate the villain smoking the most! Hum! Ignore you! In front of the blue-haired girl, the black-haired young man patted his trouser pocket, then turned around, as if intending to ask the person behind him for a lighter.

Next, the black-haired youth and the blue-haired girl stared at each other a few meters apart......

The cigarette from the black-haired young man's mouth fell to the ground, and the blue-haired girl covered her chest with her left hand, and a happy smile appeared on her panting face.

The red-haired girl on the side, looking at the blue-haired girl's blue hair, was slightly shocked, but it was not revealed.

Under the sunlight, the ring inlaid with blue gems on the ring finger of the blue-haired girl's left hand emitted an aqua blue glow, looking gentle and quiet......
