Huang Shang naturally knew this, so he planned to get a detailed deduction process before setting off.

As the designer of the weapons of the whole army, Huang Shang's natural way Huerter's statement is euphemistic enough, the main force of the first army is infantry, and the range of the rifle is not reached, and the effect of killing the enemy will be greatly reduced.

Unlike previous wall defense battles, this war, the enemy may come from all directions, which raises the requirements for the intelligence department by several levels.

In addition, as long as the city gate is out, the only way for the First Army to march is walking, although tanks and off-road vehicles can carry the elite to push the battle line, but the rest of the nearly 100,000 soldiers can only march on foot.

This means that the logistics and reinforcements of the base can only be done on two legs, and the losses of heavy firepower units are definitely not a small amount if they are intercepted.

From the headquarters base of the Dahan Science and Technology Empire to the edge of the enemy's advance, almost a hundred kilometers, minus the impassable part of the glacier and mountains, it is absolutely impossible to walk it in one day - the limit of human walking in a day is only forty kilometers.

The army needs to camp on the way, so that it will be exposed to the surveillance of the fish-man scouts, which will become the fatal weakness of the army.

He doesn't have so many intelligence workers, and if he encounters a sneak attack by the enemy, if the logistics collapse, let alone an inch, even the First Army may not be able to retreat in its entirety.

But the more times like this, the more he can't show a hesitant look, "Make a plan first, and talk about other things when I see them!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huert stroked his chest and saluted.

......

......

The day and night passed quickly, and the intelligence services handed over the plan the next afternoon.

And it's two.

The reporter was none other than Su Lan.

"You haven't slept all night?" Huang Shang noticed that her eyes were slightly puffy.

"Everyone is in a hurry, how can I be embarrassed to go back and rest alone," Su Lan shrugged.

Is this quite a whisper, Huang Shang waved his hand disappreciatively and said, "You can just say the conclusion." ”

"Yes," she pointed to the one to the left of her desk, "if the normal march is followed, the main army will definitely be noticed by the fish-man army, and then how far they can do it depends on the ability of the commander." Due to the lack of information in this area, the Intelligence Department assumed the worst-case scenario, concluding that the First Army would be able to achieve its goal, but would itself be defeated by the Fishmen. The 3,000-strong First Army was probably able to escape back to about half. The danger of those who exceed the limit is not great, as long as they do not take risks, they should be able to return to all of them. ”

"This deduction is really harsh," Huang Shang rubbed his forehead, "Is there a logistical problem?" ”

"That's right," Su Lan said without hesitation, "the supply route was attacked by the fishmen, and the First Army had to divide its forces to protect it, but it was impossible to completely contain the enemy, and under the casualties day after day, morale would be frustrated one after another, and the confidence of the front line would be affected." After a week, the enemy's attack will become more difficult to fathom, and at the same time the main army will begin to attack the enemy's camp. This part of the battle is arguably the easiest part, as your army successfully destroys the outposts and battle lines established by the Fishmen, but there is a fire in the rear. ”

"Base headquarters?"

"That's right, it's a real fire, and the fish-people noticed the abnormal behavior of the front line and decided to set it on fire. After all, there is a large area of super wheat in the outer city of the base, which is a little bit of it, which is our weakness, which will make the safety buffer zone built outside the base no longer exist, and if the transportation route is tripled, the First Army will completely lose supplies, thus losing its firepower advantage over the enemy, so it can only choose to break through and retreat. Su Lan coughed twice, "Of course, we may have set the number of fishmen a little too much, but this is also uncertain, judging from the other party's urgent actions, they probably won't give up the strategic front line easily." ”

Huang Shang couldn't help but laugh angrily, "It's just that there are many enemies, which bastard came up with the idea of setting fire to the fields?" ”

"Chief of Staff Huerter." Su Lan said slowly, "But after our analysis, as long as the time is long enough, the probability that the devil will find that the First Army has a problem will become more and more likely, so we can't rule out this possibility." ”

Although Huang Shang had been prepared in his heart, he was still a little depressed when he saw such an unoptimistic deduction for the first time, "What about the second one?" Don't tell me it's the same result, you've been working all night, and you just want to say no to me? ”

However, he also knew that if he wanted to fight the devil on the wasteland plains, land transportation would have to face the problem sooner or later. If ammunition and food could be easily delivered to front-line soldiers, why would he work overtime to stretch the road to the outside world?

"No, Your Majesty," the female general chuckled at this point, "the second plan is indeed different, since we cannot guarantee the safety of the supply line, let it disappear completely. ”

"Oh?" Huang Shang raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it?" ”

"Since the White Shark-class nuclear submarine can swim freely in the Pacific Ocean, the area where the fish-people land, that is, the Pacific Rim, will definitely not be difficult for them." Su Lan stretched out a finger, "A White Shark-class nuclear submarine can solve all material problems." On this point, I specially asked the marine experts at the base, and in the waters of the East China Sea, the passage of nuclear submarines is still no problem. ”

"How?"

"Acting at the same time as the main force of the First Army, the First Army marched forward, and the White Shark-class nuclear submarine went around in advance to deliver logistical supplies from the sea east of Shangjing."

"What about after the evacuation?"

"Under the cover of artillery shells, the First Army will withdraw, and the White Shark-class nuclear submarine can lurk in deep water and be on standby at any time."

"How long does it take?"

"It will be about half a month slower than the normal march, but under the harassment of the fishmen, it is difficult to achieve the usual marching speed. And the greatest weakness of the First Army will also disappear from the sky, and this army will be left with only one fist, which will inevitably attract the full attention of the fishmen. ”

Huang Shang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, it seemed that after a day and night of thinking, the plan was quite mature.

"You came up with the idea?"

"Sort of," Su Lan said calmly, "but in the end, it's the result of the collaboration of multiple departments." In addition to the Ministry of Construction, the core calculator of the X1 manned spacecraft was also involved, and we ensured the stability of the specific content of the second program through big data calculations. ”

Should he be the first female general of the wasteland? The most difficult thing about this solution is not to come up with ideas, but to use all the resources available.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid it would be difficult to take into account nuclear submarines and manned spacecraft carriers.

The core calculator of the spaceship is a platform that has just been removed and operated independently for less than a month, and in addition to assisting in the repair of the spacecraft itself, it will only receive the task assigned by Huang Shang, and she is already trying to use more professional technology to calculate whether the efficiency of channel supply and military supply is feasible.

This vision beyond ordinary people is really gratifying.

In addition, I don't know why, he still has a faint illusion that Su Lan at this moment seems to be more sharp than before, as if he has shed a layer of cover.

"Good job," Huang Shang encouraged, "let's implement this plan." ”

"Yes," the female general paused, "but I still have one thing to say, there will still be casualties in the result of the deduction of Plan 2, and the process will not be easier than the battle against the Northern War Alliance with the Tinder Fragments.

After all, the fish-men are the one who occupies the initiative, and it is unlikely that the First Army will rely on preset positions and pillboxes for defense before reaching its destination. ”

"So you're more inclined to stay on the ground and wait for your chance?"

"No, I'm inclined to gnaw this bone anyway," she replied slowly, "If the War of Planetary Civilization is as brutal as imagined, then a test of blood and fire is absolutely necessary for the First Army. However, you and I always feel that you care too much about the lives of your soldiers, so that every step must be considered, but after the enemy is replaced by an unknown fishman, some things are beyond the reach of manpower, so please be prepared. ”

That's what it feels like...... Huang Shang secretly thought that if it was before, it was unlikely that the other party would say such a thing, and if it was replaced by another lord, it might have been regarded as an offense. As smart as Su Lan, he will definitely not make low-level mistakes in this kind of detail.

Is this a ripple effect of the last disposal?

But whatever.

As long as it works for him, the rest is irrelevant.

"I see, you go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Su Lan saluted and retreated, Huerter appeared and said with a dissatisfied face, "Isn't it right to care about the safety of your subordinates?" She's overstepping! ”

"I also don't think there's anything wrong with that," Huang Shang said with a smile, "but everyone has their own ideas, and it's clear to listen to them." It's just that he has another idea in his heart, and the reason why he should be as thoughtful as possible is because he can't afford to lose at the moment. These soldiers are not a rabble of mercenaries and serfs, almost everyone is the elite of the elite, and they must try to reduce their losses.

Huerter was about to say something more when the phone on his desk rang.

Huang Shang's heart suddenly sank, "The fish-man army has made a new move?" ”

The interrogation was short, and he replied almost immediately to his chest, "No, Great Pervert Leader, it's good news, the diplomatic ambassador of the Antarctic Empire is expected to arrive at the base headquarters tomorrow evening, led by Nan Surou and Nantian. ”

It turned out to be Yin Ling and Nantian's transmission...... Huang Shang breathed a sigh of relief, "You go and talk to Fang Li in advance, just welcome according to the reception standards of the first two batches." ”

Although Nan Tian and Yin Ling are both people they know well, no matter how they say it, the Antarctic Empire they now represent is indispensable, and from the words of the other party, it can be felt that the diplomatic ambassador this time is here to make good friends.

This should be regarded as a buffer in the early stage of war preparations, if you are friendly with the Antarctic Empire, you may still be able to get the support of the other party, of course, at this point in time, it is absolutely impossible to fight evil.

"No problem." Yin Ling answered, and just as she was about to hang up the phone, Huang Shang suddenly stopped her again.

"Wait...... The leader is Nam Surou? That sister who Nantian has been looking for in his mouth? ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Let me think about it......," Huang Shang pondered for a moment, "I can't hide it, now that the Empire is facing a direct war conflict with extraterrestrial civilizations, maybe I can make the opponent's mobility advantage a little smaller." ”

"Uh, in such a short time since I was away, extraterrestrial civilizations actually began to invade? It's big news, but ...... Does this have anything to do with Nantian's sister? Yin Ling looked dazed.

"Not sure yet, but you have to try, after all, you represent the Antarctic Empire now." "When the diplomatic ambassador and Nam Surou arrive, I need to talk to them personally." ”

*******************

After following the Qianjiang River into the outer city of the Han Science and Technology Empire, the sides of the river gradually turned brownish-yellow, which was the color of harvested wheat straw mixed with soil.

Judging by the thickness of the straw, this year is a bumper year.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Momiji took a deep breath in the cool autumn breeze, and the sun-baked farmland exuded a unique flavor that made people feel inexplicably relaxed and satisfied.

She didn't know if it was the afterglow of a good harvest or the anticipation of going home.

Maybe it's a bit of both.

"They...... Why do you burn all this straw dry? A curious voice suddenly came from behind him, "You can stay and wait for warmth when you need it." ”

Momiji turned around and found that it was Qingling who was talking.

"You still know this?" When she was a child, she asked her father similar questions, such as why the farmer collected the cut straws and tied them into a hill-like shape, and his father replied that it was for life.

"They don't have enough money to buy firewood, so in order to survive the winter, they have to collect everything they can to heat themselves, and straw is an excellent fuel. It is flammable and readily available, and many wealthy people will buy some to start fires, and people can use it as bedding when they lack clothing. Although it burns and chokes on smoke and stings when you sleep, it is better than freezing to death. In your eyes, these stalks may be useless, but to those who need them, they are as important as ears of wheat and an indispensable part of life."

That's my father's answer at the time, but the situation is different now.

"If you don't burn all of these, there will be enemies lurking here and setting fire to them directly, and at that time, the entire city will be burned." Momiji sighed, "Do you know why we were temporarily recalled?" ”

"Why?" Qing Ling blinked her smart eyes.

"A big war is coming."
