Chapter 758 758 The second wave of the new year, the second update!
After returning to Sanssouci Palace, Lin Youde went directly to the newly built command center underneath, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "How is the situation around Cyprus?" ”
"The British cruiser appeared around Cyprus and engaged in an exchange of fire with the guarded Italian cruiser force, resulting in casualties on both sides. Our air force has been dispatched to pursue the temporarily retreating British cruiser force, and there has been no battle report yet. On land, our airborne troops have landed in Paphos, the capital on the western side of the island, and have defeated the remaining British defenders there, occupying the city, and our land forces from Rières will land within twenty-four hours. As for the Divine Princess, Lord Blackblood and Lord Lydia are waiting for the Magic Armor in Rijère, and it turns out that there are some minor problems with the Austro-Hungarian railway system, but it should arrive soon. ”
It turned out that the German plan was to storm the airfield near Nicosia in central Cyprus, where the British army had little defense, it was a defensive vacuum, and after taking a large foothold, it would cooperate with the landing force to open the gap in the coastal defense.
In another space-time, Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus, but in this space-time the population of Cyprus is concentrated on the coast, and although there are a lot of good fields to cultivate near the inland Nikosia, there are not many people - the population density of this island is already low, only a few dozen people per square kilometer.
The British may have been worried that the airfield would be hit by naval artillery on the seashore, so they built their largest airfield to a place where naval artillery on the island would never be able to hit it.
As a result, this resulted in a significant drop in the number of civilians killed in the incident, and if Nicosia were the capital and largest city of Cyprus as it had been on another plane, it would have been a massacre.
But now there are quite a few civilians who have died, and there are always tens of thousands.
At present, most of the coast of Cyprus is still controlled by the British, but the maritime control is controlled by the naval forces of the Human Renewal.
But it is foreseeable that the British will not rest on their laurels. They must have known what was going on on the island, after all, it was the island they controlled - although Cyprus had only been in British hands for a few years, they had occupied it for some time.
Although the Eye of Odin has not yet submitted a specific report, Lin Youde knows that the British may have obtained a sample of Element Zero, and the British have enough time to send the ship with the sample before the Combine Navy blockades the sea.
With the level of German chemical technology, the chemical properties of element zero can be detected, and the British can probably do it, not to mention the United States, which has been actively absorbing scientists since a hundred years ago.
And it was only a matter of time before they discovered that Element Zero would be used in magic.
Relying on the tireless work of Odin's Eye, Lin Youde is very aware of the progress of the Americans in the study of magic guidance, but people have been trying to analyze magic technology by scientific means since a hundred years ago, if it weren't for him Lin Youde crossed over and made a hindrance from it, opened his golden thigh to catch up, and the United States is the first country in the world to discover the mystery of imaginary space.
Fortunately, Cyprus is geographically closer to the area controlled by the League of Human Reform, and much closer, as long as Turkey does not suddenly fall to Britain and the United States, then there is no problem.
"What is the situation on the Turkish side?"
"There is no abnormal movement of the Turkish army, and there is no sign that the Turkish Shenji is going to be dispatched." The staff officer of the report paused, and added, "Everything in Turkey is calm. ”
"I hope so."
As a matter of fact, Lin Youde had already issued instructions to the African Army entrenched in the Persian Gulf through secret channels, asking them to carry out military movements and transfer the two main divisions with combat effectiveness to the north for "exercises."
Under the current circumstances, Lin Youde will not lightly use the African Army to carry out real combat operations, which will have a bad impact on Vale, but it is still no problem to deter under the banner of exercises like this, as long as the Americans can't catch the evidence that this is the instruction given by Lin Youde, they can't do anything about the African Army.
At such a time, it is impossible for the Americans to send troops all the way to attack the Persian Gulf, they have too many places to need troops and transportation capacity.
"That's interesting," Isabella whispered to Lin Youde after the report's staff officer had finished speaking, "and Turkey has gone from a role that has nothing to do with the big war to the center of contention, and I can already foresee the drama of the warring sides taking turns to shout to Turkey." ”
"Yes, but we have an advantage, after all, we are on two sides with Turkey - no, now with Azerbaijan and Georgia, we are bordered on three sides."
"The Russians are also likely to target Baku for this year's counteroffensive in order to open up land access with Turkey – I mean, if they are still going to fight back." Isabella whispered.
"If you don't have it, you have to have it, Charlotte will put pressure on Russia." Lin Youde bit his lip, "The United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, and us, all these forces will converge towards Cyprus, just for the Zero element sediment in the middle of the island with a radius of twenty kilometers and a thickness of two meters. In addition, Cyprus is also very important for the study of the impact of large-scale visualization of imaginary space, and the people of the Institute of Theoretical Physics are already clamoring to go to the island to explore it themselves. After all, we probably won't be able to reproduce this scale of embodiment for many years to come. ”
"Considering the victimization, I guess I will never have to reproduce the embodiment of this scale." Isabella said, "Unless you're going to use the captured goddess as the core of the infiltration." ”
Nia doesn't know when she will wake up, but according to Lydia's description, Lin Youde will definitely not allow his sister to do this kind of "deep infiltration" in the future, and he can't afford to take this risk and doesn't plan to take it.
Lin Youde stared at the map, the island of Cyprus has been circled in a red circle, and that circle is the battlefield of large-scale melee between the navy, land and air forces in the future.
"Cyprus meat grinder......" Lin Youde involuntarily said.
"It does mean that." Isabella echoed, "The last battle of Verdun and the Somme was exhausted by the two meat grinders, and after that, the Western Front completely lost the possibility of defeating the other side militarily, and could only fight for endurance and war potential. I wonder if this Cyprus will have the same effect. ”
Lin Youde did not answer, his eyes kept on the map around Cyprus and the entire eastern shore of the Mediterranean.
Then his eyes fell on Jerusalem.
Although a large number of Jews abandoned their immigration to Jerusalem to join the armies of the League for the Reformation of Humanity, and many young Jews left their parents and returned to Europe from Jerusalem to fight in the war, Jerusalem is still in a position of neutrality in the war.
"How effective is the Jewish god?" Lin Youde vaguely remembered that the Jewish gods he had seen were not allowed to fight, so he asked.
"I don't know, but our military instructor said that he had seen the Jewish god fly into the sky in the magic armor, and he probably barely had a little combat effectiveness."
"Well, I'm going to write a letter to that Jewish lady I know."
