Mountains and Seas, The Third Reich of China**.

**The place ten miles away from the Yongling Manor in the western suburbs is already a **suburbs, compared with the busy traffic of **, it is the same prosperous here, but it is also a little more bleak.

It's early autumn, but the temperature drops significantly. Perhaps another stream of cold air swept down from the Uchi Mountains, covering the entire northern part of the empire. In short, although it is only summer away, the streets on the outskirts of the empire are already full of late autumn gloom and ...... Chill.

In a suite in a hotel building, a middle-aged man is standing with his hands in his hands.

This seems to be a man of great status, his every move is extraordinarily atmospheric, and it is full of a kind of graceful demeanor of a superior. However, the extraordinarily solemn face vividly shows a certain worry in the man's heart, and the white hair between the temples is as dense as the stars, which makes the man look a little old and decrepit.

Beside him, he is also an old man who looks like an old butler.

Neither of them spoke, but they silently looked at the magic vision on the wall together, and in the screen, the female announcer with a solemn face was whispering something.

……

"Hello audience friends, today is September 13, 2015, the ninth month and 27 days of the Second World War. Welcome to today's lunchtime news. ”

"-- At the end of the third bloody battle of the Daling River, our heroic Emperor [***] team once again launched a full-front attack on the barbarian Eastern Army Regiment, effectively achieving our strategic goal, but tactically, it still did not achieve the desired results. The damage on both sides was equal, and the empire did not make a major breakthrough on the front, and still confronted the barbarians across the river at the Daling River. ”

"Lao Gu, if you don't win, you will lose......"

The middle-aged man suddenly sighed lowly, turned his head and said to the old butler beside him.

"Master Hou, there is no way to do this. The barbarians may have been really frightened by our last war, this time they stubbornly defended the defense line of the Daling River, and in the past few months, they have gradually managed the north bank of the Daling River like an iron bucket. It is even more clear that the chariots and horses only hold the defense line to contain the empire, and they will not move if the empire does not move. ”

"Although the Emperor [***] team is far superior to the other side in magic armor, after all, the magic battle strength is still slightly insufficient, and it is good to be undefeated, at least it is more than ten thousand miles stronger than the army of the Western Continent Alliance. As long as the strategic goal can be achieved, it is a blessing to share some pressure on that side, so that the alliance army can escape a lot. ”

"It's just that in this third bloody battle, I don't know how many good sons of the empire have been sacrificed...... I've heard that the Daling River has recently become known as the River of Blood...... For more than a month, the river flowing out of its mouth has been red. ”

The old butler, known as Lao Gu, sighed lowly.

……

As he spoke, the voice of the announcer in the magic vision also sounded.

"-- The operation of the magic energy machine, jointly carried out by the Western Continent Alliance, the Nanlu Tribe, and the Nanyang Merchant Alliance, was announced a few days ago due to the effective containment of the third bloody battle of the Daling River of the Emperor's [***] team, and the great retreat from Dunkerke was successfully completed."

Since then, the entire territory of the Union has fallen, but the main force of the Alliance army has successfully withdrawn to the United Tribes of the Southern Continent Chiefs. For the first time in the Southern Continent, they will fully unite with the tribes and the merchant alliance, and continue to fight to the death against the barbarian Western Army Regiment for the future of our humanity. ”

"-- General de Gaulle, the generalissimo of the Alliance, claimed that with the support of the close allies of the Horde and the Shang Alliance, the Alliance would stop its decline in the southern continent and fight the barbarians to the death."

"Fortunately, we finally worked together to achieve our strategic goals. I've heard that the Shang Alliance has almost emptied their families in order to save the Western Continents of their clan. Operation Magic Machine, an unprecedented transport fleet. Dunkerke retreated, and finally most of them escaped. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly smiled bitterly.

……

"Escape...... What's the use of escaping? was driven like a dog by the barbarians, and nearly half of the country's troops were damaged, and he was embarrassed to say anything about life and death! ”

The old butler scolded indignantly.

"I wondered if we were the harder to attack, the easier they were to defend. We are facing an enemy who is slightly superior to us in numbers, but they have a clear advantage over the enemy. The empire has even contained more than one-third of the barbarian forces in the Daling River, and has also continuously launched attacks, mobilizing the barbarian troops from the western continent to help them from the east to share the pressure for them. ”

"And the barbarian Xilu side has a little more troops than our side, and there is one more Longer, how can they fight their three countries like this? I won't talk about the surprise attack in the early stage of the alliance, but in the middle and late stages, it was supported by the tribe's million-dollar elite expeditionary force, and the merchant alliance navy did its best for them, but they were still defeated again and again, and they were all defeated for thousands of miles? ”

He said with an angry look on his face.

"It can't be helped." The middle-aged man smiled wryly and spread his hands.

"Old Gu, don't forget, the tribal expeditionary force may still have some combat effectiveness, but the group of mercenaries of the Shang Alliance can't be counted on at all. The combined fleet of their navy and the alliance navy has been beaten into a grandson by the barbarian Western Army Navy in the Western Ocean. For now, it is only going to maintain the marine lifeline of the western and southern continents. ”

"Look at it, as long as the barbarians either make a breakthrough again in the Southern Continent, or make a breakthrough in the Empire, and free up a little hand, the Shang Alliance will be a one-touch death."

……

"And the Alliance and the Horde side...... It's not that they're so ineffective - it's just that the Long'er on the other side of them is too weird to use troops, and they lack a superior commander...... That de Gaulle, who may have been very good at inspiring the people, but in terms of military talent, hum ......"

The middle-aged man sighed heavily, but shook his head disdainfully.

The old butler smiled bitterly: "Not only them, we are also lacking." Chengping has been peaceful for too long, the empire has been strong for too long, and we seem to have forgotten how to fight...... I just hope that the younger generation will grow up soon. By the way, Master Hou, I heard that the three princes of the empire are very good? ”

He looked inquiringly at the middle-aged man.

"Yes, if it weren't for the command of the three princes, I'm afraid that we would not be able to fight the three bloody battles and suffer losses. The group of fools in the Western Continent Alliance shouted all day long for us to exert more pressure, but they actually let the barbarians secretly increase troops to the east again, without knowing it. ”

"Now the three princes have also grown up rapidly, it is said that Yang Guogong is not very in charge, basically like a demon war commander, but the three princes who are his combat staff are more like the commander of the army."

A proud smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, but he smiled faintly.

……

"That's good, the Far North Front of the Empire, there must be no mistakes. The Western Continent people have completely collapsed, and all the land has fallen, and it is said that their people will die if they do not surrender, and several ...... have been slaughtered by the barbarians."

The old butler suddenly stopped talking, and he shuddered.

"yes, I can't imagine if the empire was invaded like this...... The barbarians are not trying to conquer and rule us this time, as they were during the Millennial War, and I suspect they are here to destroy us humans. ”

"The invasion of the Far North, the barbarians seem to have given us each a test question - fortunately, we scored higher, otherwise the tragedy of the Western Continent people would have been staged by the Chinese people...... That's unthinkable. ”

The middle-aged man also muttered with a wry smile.

The old butler smiled bitterly in unison, he thought about it, but asked again.

"Master Hou, what do you say...... Now, most of the elite of the Western Continent have retreated to the Southern Continent through Operation Magic Machine. The barbarians were about to invade the tribe's homeland, and the alliance was fortunate to have preserved half of its combat strength, and the army of the Nanyang Merchant Alliance was also pouring into the southern continent - the current southern continent was a hornet's nest. ”

"The three of them faced less than two-thirds of the barbarians' troops, and their total strength was far superior to each other. Now that it's a matter of life and death, it's time to maintain the battle line, right? If the barbarians can still win as quickly as they attacked the Western Continent before, it can only be said that the heavens have killed our humans. ”

The old butler asked in a low voice.

……

"I think it's okay......"

The middle-aged man replied in deep thought.

"However, Longer has also established a puppet army, and has obtained most of the resources of the Western Continent, even if they don't master our technology and their productivity can't keep up, but with those captures, it is enough for him to arm those surrendered humans into a demon army. In the late stage of the Western Continental War, Long Er already liked to drive the puppet army to fight, so their blood loss in the Western Continent was actually not very serious. ”

"And Rond...... You know, it's the most cunning commander I've ever seen. So now, even if the three of them unite, it may only be a balance of power. ”

"But most importantly, the blood of the empire has also been shed enough......"

"The meeting of the general staff headquarters of the three services claimed that if the empire continued to lose blood like this, Da Linghe would not be able to achieve a clear strategic advantage within half a year, and the imperial [***] team would also turn to the defensive and be unable to launch another offensive. At that time, the initiative in the eastern and western battlefields would be in the hands of the barbarians. ”

"At that time, the barbarians fought whoever they wanted, and how they wanted to fight, we could only defend passively, and we were powerless to echo each other. At that time, the barbarians will have a great strategic advantage - that's why I said that the third bloody battle of the Great Ling River will be defeated if it is not won. ”

The middle-aged man smiled wryly again.

"At that time, as long as there is a major defeat anywhere in the human front, the collapse of the whole front will also begin, and we humans will be able to count down to our downfall......"

He said lightly, but his eyes were full of worry and anxiety.

……

"If only we had such a genius commander like Long'er."

The old butler suddenly sighed again.

"Who knows, I hope the third prince is, but I estimate that it is enough. The use of soldiers by the third prince is too decent compared to Long'er. We have been at peace for too long, and we have been tempered less by the flames of war. It must be the kind of genius commander who can think of what others can't think of, and who is good at surprising soldiers to defeat the strong with the weak, so that he can be on par with Longer. ”

The middle-aged man spread his hands: "In war, strength is fundamental, but wisdom is also an important element. The empire has been strong for too long, and military thinking tends to be too coherent, ignoring the cultivation and exploration of commanders' ability to win by surprise. I can't regret it. ”

He sighed.

"There's no way around it, and it's dangerous to use odds. The empire is the bull's ear of human military power, and there is a way to win steadily, who would want to use it? For hundreds of years, no commander likes to use odds, and who can make progress? The glorious traditions of the old-timers during the founding war have long been thrown into Java. ”

The old butler also smiled bitterly.

They gradually lost interest in talking, but at the same time stared at the magic vision in silence, and then looked again. (To be continued.) )
