The year 666 of the electric calendar is destined to be an eventful autumn, and in the Heyuan area of the Eastern Continent, Taiyun Action is like a fire.

The Haobei Plateau in the north has also ushered in a new round of military collisions. After the failure of the intervention a year ago, the Hella people immediately reorganized a new military force in the country to intervene in the steppe.

In the northern grasslands, multi-riveted steel armored trains drove by, these gas turbine locomotives emitted white smoke against the background of green grass and blue sky, and the decoration paint on the body of the car was a white ribbon pattern, rich in the specific ice field culture of the Hella people.

But inside the body, whether it is the dense operating instruments or the noise of the mechanical transmission, it shows that it is an old antique.

As can be seen from the heavily corroded factory inscriptions, this thing is at least two hundred years old. Some bombers in the 21st century have been in service for more than 100 years, and some turret destroyers have not even been decommissioned for more than 200 years. The main structure of the equipment can be used forever as long as it is durable.

Of course, it cannot be said that the military industry of the Hella people relied on these tattered pieces of two hundred years ago, but their advanced electrified main battle equipment was placed on the west side to fight against the increasingly powerful Heman Federation.

Eight hundred years ago, since the complete fall of Hagia Sauce, the Hellas have taken a big step westward, but they have also fallen into a strange circle. The more westward it expanded, the more the population and economy were concentrated on the west, and there was no buffer zone at all, only a strong military could be maintained; And the more they maintain a strong military, the more nervous the countries in the central part of the Western Continent become, for fear of becoming the second in St. Sauk, and also maintaining a large military; As a result, the Hella people were stimulated to continue to spend money in the military field, forming a vicious circle of arms race.

As for most of the eastern territory of the Hella people, which is a large grassland and desert, it can be safely used as a buffer zone, so a lot of heavy equipment in the eastern defense area is old equipment that has been mothballed after the retirement of the western front.

……

And this war, from the point of view of the Hella people, is a defensive war that the country has to fight.

The situation in the Western Continent is very different from that in the Eastern Continent.

On this side of the Eastern Continent, Taiyun has weakened the eastern countries through continuous military and diplomatic means for hundreds of years, and is about to successfully complete the goal of great unification.

On the Western Continent, there is a popular military alliance, which is not fought in peacetime, and an average of 150 to 200 years is a full-scale war. Under the deterrence of powerful military alliances, there has been no war on the Western Continent for more than 300 years.

After all, it's the bad kind of Oka who did it. Oka was once the pride of the world empire, disdaining to be compared to the rest of the Western Continent, and unwilling to implement an effective unification strategy. Its strategy is to balance power for the sake of balance of power.

And for the sake of the balance of power, they are the most active allies, and because of their strong national strength, they insist on playing alliances, which country in the Western Continent dares to ignore the role of this military alliance.

As a result, the politics of the entire Western Continent for more than 1,800 years have been trapped in the grotesque circle of military alliances.

Of course, they are doing this now, and they have finally raised Pratt & Whitney.

After the electrical calendar, Pratt & Whitney merged Wester to the south, Oakley to the east, and swallowed the Roland Kingdom, directly becoming the Great Heman Federation.

Now that Oka has reached a military alliance with the Hela people, a new round of war on the Western Continent is about to break out in this century. The unprecedented world war has left the upper echelons of the Hella people already on high tension.

……

At this juncture, the Tuobei group entered the Haobei Plateau, which made the Hella people have to consider that they may be faced with a two-front battle in the future.

"The Haobei Plateau, a strategic buffer zone, cannot be abandoned." This was a decision made by the upper council of the Hela people.

"Akira, who has retreated again and again on the Haobei Plateau, is no longer suitable to be the coach of the Far East." That's the judgment of the strategic decision-makers in the West.

For this reason, the general sent by the Hella base camp is Yuyan Shinlai, one of the 37 presidents of the general staff of the Supreme Council, a position that is not allowed to be held by Jin Tong.

Since the establishment of the Standard Academy system in the Western Continent a thousand years ago, the system was introduced by the then Hela Speaker Milina, Yuyan (Binghe's biological mother) after 11 failed invasions of St. Sauce.

Subsequently, the number of high-ranking professionals of the Hella people also increased accordingly. It also led to an increase in the number of golden pupils of the Hella people. The high metabolic rate of the Dharma Pulse contributes to the stimulation of the Golden Pupil gene.

After 150 years, the female chief was finally crowned emperor after forcing Saint Sauc to withdraw from the Black Sea sphere of influence in 12 wars with St. Sauc.

But he died two years later. The generals who came to power in the war quickly changed the original constitutional monarchy system to a constitutional monarchy system, and established the Senate, with real power in the hands of the speaker of the Senate.

Now that a president of the Senate has been sent over, it can be seen that the top management of Dehella is now very serious about the situation in the Far East.

……

When the train stopped at the Red Tower Fortress, accompanied by Akira, this giant capital-level fortress (called the Great Wall profession in the Eastern Continent) came to the headquarters and watched the situation on the Haobei Plateau on the tabletop sand table.

Yuyan Xinlai looked at the table for a long time, and then turned around.

The sound of black leather boots on the floor on the corner of the table made the sound of footsteps clicking, which made Akira, who was erected on the side, nervous like a student waiting for the opening of the list.

Facing the golden pupils of the central noble, Akira didn't dare to look at him, and slowly lowered his head.

Yu Yanxin stared at Akira and nodded slowly: "You did a good job, and you supported yourself very well in the face of such an opponent." ”

Akira breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnesty, and then the 'fatigue of hard work', 'the feeling of being understood', and the 'grievance of bearing too much criticism' came flooding up.

……

In the past year, Akira has a deep understanding of himself and the forces of the Tuobei Plateau, and the military technology of the two sides is completely generational.

If you forcibly want to fight, you have to make a move in front of the first-class military technology of the Eastern Continent, and you will have to send it completely.

After observing that the Haobei Plateau wanted to establish order on the grassland, Akira began to support the tribes who were still loyal to Hela, and used these agents to conduct low-intensity wars to delay the establishment of order in the grasslands of the Tuobei group.

Although this plan had been bankrupt by the Great White Disaster of the Steppe in 665, a large number of steppe tribes began to surrender to the Tuobei group as a last resort. However, Akira still delayed Lu Ming's control of Haobei to a certain extent.

It is by no means the cowardice of the idlers who eat truffle cakes and drink afternoon tea by the fire thousands of miles away.

Now that Akira is listening to the Senator Speaker of the Golden Eyes in front of him, he can't help but be moved in his heart, and the corners of his eyes are slightly moist. He bowed to the general and made a salute of allegiance with his arms on his chest. When he needed to understand the most, Yuyan Xinlai accepted his loyalty in a few words. This is not a high skill.

In the room of the command room, in the flames of the fireplace, the red wood 'beeped', and the grease of the pine and cypress emitted, a calming fragrance.

Yuyan Xinlai continued to look at the map, staring at the huge Haobei Plateau below the Red Tower Fortress, and sighed solemnly: "On the side of Corindu, I misjudged the situation in the east. ”

Akira on the side looked up, and he saw that his boss was shining, as if he had activated the field.

Snowflakes from the thick windows covered the fortress building in silver. In the distance, the train station was brightly lit, and a large amount of supplies were being transported from the car to the inside of the fortress.

……

Over the past year, Hongta Fortress has continuously supported the grassland agents to delay the strategic advancement of the Tuobei Group in Haobei. And the Tuobei Group did not directly cut off the right of intervention of the Red Tower Fortress, because it wanted to control the conflict.

If the Red Tower Fortress is directly defeated, it will send another clear signal to the decision-makers at the Hella base camp, and the Hella decision-makers will most likely mobilize elite armies from the west.

This will allow the Tuobei group to face an all-out confrontation with the Hellas. However, it is best to establish order on the Haobei Plateau first, let the various departments attach themselves to themselves, and turn this territory into their own home field, and only after making sufficient preparations will they attack the Red Tower Fortress to meet the all-out confrontation of the Hella people.

And although the commander of the Red Tower Fortress, Akira, is aware of the situation on the front line, the resources mobilized are limited.

Thousands of kilometers away, the Hela people have a lot of resources in the base camp, but those old men don't understand the situation, and they don't give Akira a lot of resources because of their preconceived ideas.

So this is similar to some real-time strategy levels: the player (Lu Ming) does not trigger the next level of the plot, first builds dozens of defense towers on the ground, accumulates a large wave of soldiers, and then the super weapon time is also ready, and finally the enemy building (Red Tower Fortress) that triggers the plot is destroyed.

Of course, now that the Hella people have sent Yu Yanxinlai, they are already very aware of the grim strategic situation that the Red Tower is facing at this time, and immediately wrote a letter to Colin in the rear to express his views on the situation in the east.

[On February 4, 666, Yuyan Nobulai conducted a surprise inspection of the situation of various departments of the Legion on the east side of the Red Tower Fortress]

1: In the military production plant, in front of the production line full of the smell of lubricating oil, he encouraged the person in charge of the factory, shook hands with him, and asked the accompanying secretary to take pictures.

2: During the inspection of the ammunition depot, he dealt with three quartermasters who had been drinking, and the secretary next to him also took pictures.

3: In the front-line defensive bunker, a line of front-line soldiers in woolen coats saluted him, and he saluted him in return. Of course, the photo was taken.

Things like this were written as reports and sent to officers and soldiers at all ranks, along with new bedding, ammunition, canned meat, and red wine.

And this is to tell the whole army: he, Yu Yanxin, is coming, he is now watching the whole army, and everyone must get serious and prepare for a big battle.

On the night of the 4th, in the central underground hall of the fortress.

Marshal Yuyan, who was in a hurry, put on a holographic helmet and gave a pre-battle speech to the Dragon Guard soldiers under his command.

Yu Yan sent a letter: "Gentlemen, seven days, I need to bankrupt the attempt of the Donglu people to infiltrate the north within seven days!" ”

However, Yuyan Xinlai did not know that a series of command communications after he arrived at the Red Tower Fortress were in a state of being monitored.
