Chapter 310: A Harbinger of All-Out War
The Copper Mine was to be built, of course, and was placed by Dane as the most important part of the current sequence of work in Castle Whitewolf. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The relevant matters are left to the construction workers who are recognized by the system. As for the Hulk, he was sent out by Dane to other places to see if he could find other ore vein resources within the territory under his control.
In fact, this new copper mine, if there is really anything not very good. That's just one point: it's a bit far from White Wolf Castle.
Thirty or forty kilometers away, if anything happens to the copper mine, it will take almost half a day to arrive when the army is dispatched from White Wolf Castle. And here, relatively speaking, it will be closer to the sphere of influence of the governor of Ozer.
This is a place where accidents can easily occur, and if the interests of the copper mine are large enough, it is easy to be spied on by some relatively powerful bandit groups, and even other warlord forces. Moreover, if the relationship between Dane and Governor Ozer is no longer so close in the future, the safety of this new copper mine needs to be even more worried.
However, no matter how many concerns he had, with such a useful resource here, there was no way for Dane to waste it.
After returning to White Wolf Castle, Dane found Chapur and explained to him about the copper mine.
I believe that after clearly explaining the importance of this place to Chapur, the logistics chief sitting in White Wolf Fort should be able to arrange it.
After talking about these things, he heard another news from Chappell's mouth, a not-so-good news.
"General, some of our eyes and ears in the north have found some information about the course of the war. Hindlaire's all-out war may not be far off. ”
"What is the specific information? Is it really going to be done? Dane couldn't believe it.
From the battle of Shizuipo, Sindelair laid the basic situation of the two powers, and now, the preparation time for the war in the middle is still too short. As far as Dane was concerned, he was not ready for the all-out war that followed.
As for Governor Oze and Governor Conrier, their respective forces are even larger, and it is very troublesome to deal with and mobilize themselves, not to mention that they have to take care of so many small warlords under the same battle line. The situation they faced was much more complicated than that of Dane, and it was impossible to prepare everything in such a short time.
Although, almost everyone knows, there will be a great battle between the two governors of Sindlaire. But this big war is not yet time to break out. It is precisely because of this that Dane is surprised by the news that Chappell said that 'all-out war is not far off'.
"Actually, it's already done." Chappell said, "Governor Conry and Governor Ozer's men have joined forces with a number of small warlords and are fighting a battle near the Northern Ice Cave City. ”
"How did it turn out?" Dane asked.
"There is a slight advantage between the two sides, and in the first battle, Governor Ouze's side has a slight advantage. The whole battle seems to have just begun, but judging from the situation of the battle, it seems that the fight is fierce, and it is estimated that one side will not give up if it is completely destroyed. ”
Pexins, who was urgently called by Dane to participate in the discussion, interjected next to her and asked, "Haven't both sides been restrained in the previous situation?" Although there are often skirmishes, it seems that there has never been a situation where several warlords have joined forces. ”
"Yes." Chappell nodded and said, "In the past few months, although there have been continuous skirmishes, the number of these clashes has always been controlled to about a few dozen people, and there are hardly more than a hundred confrontations between people. But this time, in the war near Ice Cave City, the total number of participants on both sides may have exceeded 5,000, and there are more and more warlords on both sides who are involved in this war. ”
Pexins sighed and said, "This really doesn't bode well. A month earlier, we had just fought a battle with Governor Conley's Nail Legion, and fortunately, it was a quick battle, and there was enough restraint on both sides to prevent us from becoming the trigger for a full-scale war between the two camps. Let's hope that will be the case this time. ”
She had such hopes, but Chappell, who was sitting next to her, was pessimistic. I only heard him say: "It's not easy. The war in Ice Cave City started as a battle between two warlords for a small crystal vein in Ice Cave City, and then in just one week, the scope of the spread has rapidly expanded to the entire area around Ice Cave City. It's not like we were before, where the fight was fought so fast that no one else could intervene even if they wanted to. But this time, the incident has been fermenting for so long, the war is still fighting, and the situation is still escalating step by step, and it is not so easy to calm down. ”
Dane asked with a stern face: "Chappell, according to your judgment, do you think that the war in Ice Cave City is really likely to trigger a full-scale military confrontation between the two camps in the future?" ”
Chappell said: "I think it's very likely. ”
"Then do you think, according to the current situation in Ice Cave City, how long will it be before a real all-out war breaks out?"
Dane had to know this very important question. The answer to this question will affect his choice of a series of strategies in the future.
If this time is too short, then Dane will have to desperately gather his army and prepare for battle; If there is enough time, he will also try his best to recruit as many troops as possible in a short period of time, at least to replenish the army of 7,500 people in the formal regiment and garrison regiment that he reformulated after the blitzkrieg in Shawan Harbor, so that he can barely be qualified to become a chess player in the future all-out war, instead of being a pawn miserably.
Chaapell also had no way to give an accurate answer to Dane's question. He thought for a moment and said, "There is really no way to judge this, if you look at the speed of development of the changes in Ice Cave City in the past week, I am afraid that in another week or two, Ice Cave City will become a big whirlpool that drags the entire Hindlaire into the flames of war." However, I think that although Ou Ze and Kang Li are interested in wrestling around Ice Cave City now, if they have a certain amount of restraint, this speed may slow down a lot. ”
"All the specific estimates will have to wait for another week or two to see. If I had to make a judgment, I think that the arrival of a full-scale war would take a month at the earliest, and if I were optimistic, it might drag on until the end of the year. ”
Dane pursed his lips and said, "It's best to be able to drag it out until the end of the year...... Eh, you say, although Ice Cave City is far away, more than 400 kilometers away from us, is there any way we can affect the situation over there? ”
