Chapter 137 [War Mobilization]
War mobilization refers to the state taking emergency measures to move from a peacetime state to a wartime state and uniformly mobilizing human, material, and financial resources to serve the war.
Zutona is not yet a country, but under the mobilization order of Tonatyu, the characteristics of the trolls are fully exploited.
In just seven days.
Except for the 2,000 or so elites who remained in Zutona and Crater were not mobilized.
The remaining Zutona army, of about 8,000 men, was all requisitioned, and about 5,000 troops were gathered at the Zuan fortress and the Dezla outpost.
There are still about 3,000 or so trolls in force, and a large amount of supplies are still on the way.
Zutona has a population of nearly 30,000 and can provide an army of 10,000, with a ratio of 1:2 military to civilians.
Even in Azeroth, where all the people are soldiers, the proportion is a little exaggerated.
The normal ratio of state troops to civilians on Earth rarely exceeded 20:1 in classical times. In the modern world, more than 100:1 is considered militaristic.
But in Azeroth, the ratio of troops within 10:1 cannot be said to be unbridled.
Like the orcs who have not yet arrived in Azeroth, they can have no civilians if they need to. Except for the elderly and children who really can't hold weapons, everyone else can become an army.
Similar to the human kingdom on the other side of the Eastern Kingdom, they can also achieve an army ratio of about 1:5 in times of war.
And trolls who are significantly more savage than humans, with the exception of Zandalara. Basically, other troll tribes can easily be similar to orcs, so that all clansmen except for the old people and children who can't carry weapons are soldiers.
Of course......
This ratio is not the proportion of the elite standing army.
It contains a large number of militiamen and servants with low combat effectiveness.
Like Zutona's army of 10,000 people, in fact, the real combat effectiveness is about 4000~5000.
Most of the rest are recruits and servants, similar to the role of the reserves.
Do not participate in battles in peacetime.
But as soon as the war situation requires, gritted his teeth and carried the weapon.
In fact, it can be regarded as an army, and it is only half.
And this half can be regarded as elite, and another half must be cut.
The elite who can really fight are only about 2,000 trolls.
Zutona's army of 10,000 trolls, about 2,000 elites, combined with about 3,000 ordinary soldiers, the remaining 5,000 recruits and servants can only be regarded as reserves at best.
Zaun Fortress.
In a huge tent in the center.
The elite of the army of the trolls, such as Desla, Evra, Akas, and Kzyra, gathered to discuss how to attack Zurfarak at the behest of Tonatyiu.
This may seem a bit inadequate to the other forces and armies of the non-Zutona trolls.
The total population of Zutona is only about 30,000, the total population of Zulfarak is not less than 300,000, and the standing army is not less than 50,000.
Use 30,000 troops to fight 200,000 people, and use more than 5,000 troops to attack cities defended by more than 50,000 troops.
It really looks like it's floating and shaking the tree.
"We can take it one step at a time. All the trolls set out, step by step, steadily and steadily, to consume the living force of the Zurfalak army......"
"My voodoo shooters have fought with the scouts of Zulfarak. In the face of two voodoo shooters favored by Loa, they are vulnerable! ”
"10 Voodoo Shooters can eliminate 50 Scouts of Zulfarak!"
"We now have more than 600 voodoo shooters! More than 400 god warriors, more than 1,000 berserkers! ”
"We still have the Witch Doctor, oh the Witch! And a lot of fighters! ”
"We can take our time ......"
Two years ago, the trolls in front of me were eating scorpions and bugs in the sand.
No troll has experience leading armies into battle.
Tonatiu asked them to discuss strategy, and the trolls couldn't say anything but Desla.
Including the 6 Titan Trolls who have just been transferred back from the Shaper platform.
Tonatiu now has 8 Titan Trolls, he left two to remain on the Shaper's Stand, and the remaining 6 were called back by him.
But compared to ordinary trolls, Titan Trolls are a little more advanced in life form and have more powerful combat power.
It doesn't mean that they can become masters of strategy and tactics without a teacher.
So except for Deszla, who was talking, the other trolls had to listen.
The results were finally discussed, and were sent to Tonatiu. It was according to the meaning of Dezla, steadily advancing step by step, and forcing Zulfarak.
Of course, Tonathiu is not satisfied with this result, what kind of strategy is this?
But he also knew that with the current trolls, he could only go so far.
Azeroth didn't have any famous military geniuses in the first place, and it was a world where unparalleled martial arts were especially important.
The 1 million Azeroth ordinary army is used superbly, all kinds of tricks are repeated, and the god of war descends to operate.
It's impossible to beat a single sargeras.
The military stratagem in Azeroth wanted to work. It can only be that there is little difference in the combat power of individual soldiers between the two sides, and the military strength is also not much different, and the number of oversized individuals in the army is similar.
to be able to play some role.
Throughout the tens of thousands of years of war history in Azeroth, it is probably only the battle between Orgrim and Lothar that can barely be seen as a military strategy.
The rest of the battles are fought to the death by small soldiers, and then a hero jumps out to be unparalleled all the way to get it.
What is the strategy of the undead scourge? Didn't people just rely on the advantage of the Sea of the Undead and many high-end combat forces to push half of the Eastern Kingdom all the way?
What is the strategy of the Burning Legion? The earth fire will directly hit you in the face, and you will be fart in other situations except for hanging up!
What is the strategy for the second Angela War, which has not yet taken place? Isn't it just that everyone gets together, the door opens, and rushes all the way, killing and killing?
In the end, it was only a few heroes who managed to break through the internal Titan Seal, re-seal or kill Cthun to end the war.
What is the strategy for the war of the tribe and the alliance? Basically, it's fighting for life and death on major transportation routes and strategic places, and I haven't heard of anything coming out
The name of the strategic command.
It seems that among the heroes of the Azeroth Clan, the only ones who are famous in command and strategy are Orgrim and Lothar.
There is also a Garrod of the Night Elves.
Ogrim and Lothar don't say.
Garrod's greatest command achievement seems to be that after the death of the elven leader Rafincrest and Stareye, he became the new commander of the Night Elves and commanded the battle.
In the War of the Ancients, his greatest merit was to listen to the advice of Ronin and Crassus, who had traveled through time, and to establish alliances with other races, thus laying the foundation for victory in the War of the Ancients.
But in the end, the battle of the ancients was won, and it was not won by the desperate sacrifice of the guardian dragons, the Malfurion brothers, Tyrande, and the secret help of the old gods.
That's right......
In the War of the Ancients, the sealed Old Gods were on Azeroth's side.
I can't help it.
In case Sargeras did come over.
Of course, Mugwort-chan will be cut in two, but these people who stay on Ai-chan will also be wiped out.
In fact, Garrod's command, at best, reduced the number of casualties in Kadore, but was of little use to the final result.
And this is still based on the sacrifice of the gods of the wilderness, which can only have the effect.
If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the guardian dragons and the gods of the wilderness, no amount of the Night Elf army to Garrod would have helped the bigger picture.
In Azeroth.
Military strategy is not important, you just need to be strong enough to crush the past along the way.
Military strategy can only be useful if both sides are about the same strength, or if one side is slightly weaker, but not too weak.
If a superhero comes out halfway, this effect will be easily negated.
Tonatiu didn't want the trolls to become military geniuses all of a sudden, he just wanted his subordinates to understand some simple strategies.
But in fact, he is also blind in this regard, and he is not a graduate of a military academy, and he has not even served in the military......
30,000 people go to more than 200,000 people, more than 5,000 troops go to more than 50,000 troops.
No matter how you look at it, you can't win.
Just like the Second World War on Earth, *** Germany invaded France, and no one thought that *** would be victorious before the war began.
Because of the military strength comparison between the two sides, France, which is the "world's first army", is much stronger.
And yet only 38 days.
Paris lowered the white flag.
Since then, there has been a meme on the earth: "No one can occupy the whole of France before the white flag is lowered in Paris!" ”
