Chapter 596: Standing to Die?
Time is unhurried.
A month has passed quietly.
The Empire explained the phrase 'defeated like a mountain'.
The successive defeats have made the empire fall into place, and the soldiers collectively suffer from dinosaur disease, they are afraid of the army of the Holy Dragon Country, even if they are replaced by elite soldiers later, they cannot stop the building that will fall, and the sharp spirit of the empire is gone.
An army without self-confidence is doomed to fail to win the war.
If you see it with your own eyes, you will see that the current Imperial army is like the army of the Holy Dynasty that Vega had not yet joined.
At the beginning, the Holy Dynasty did not have the slightest confidence in victory in the face of the attack of the United Kingdom, as long as the war started, once the Kingdom gained the upper hand, then it would usher in a large-scale rout, and even the Overseers were helpless.
This is why the United Kingdom has achieved the feat of hitting Saint Laurent in a matter of months.
Now the empire is like the original holy dynasty, although it seems that they have a considerable number of troops, but none of the soldiers think that they are the opponents of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and even most of the officers are extremely pessimistic.
If the upper beam is not right, the lower beam will be crooked.
In this month, the pessimistic empire lost the entire northwest, and their battle line has shrunk to the central region, which is the industrial, economic, political, and cultural center of the empire, and the heart of the empire.
Other words.
The empire has been pushed to the edge of a precipice, and they have no way back.
If it is placed in the north when it has not yet been lost, even if the central part is lost, they still have a comeback in the north that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unfortunately, the north has been occupied by Vega, and the south is flat, and there is no way to defend it, so the situation of the empire is even more pessimistic than the original United Kingdom, at least the United Kingdom still has a city of eternal hope.
What should I do?
The holders of the three powers frowned.
They also want to do their best to fight the wurmists, but the constant defeat has made the soldiers lose confidence, and in this case, even if they press more troops, as long as they see someone die, there will inevitably be a rout again.
Just as the strong get stronger, the weak get weaker.
The empire has fallen into an endless loop.
A succession of great victories will make a third-rate army unstoppable, and a constant defeat will make a hundred-battle army timid, if the Empire defeats the Holy Dragon Kingdom in the first battle...... No, it only takes a close fight to make this happen.
But constant failures have snowballed.
Now that the empire has seen the avalanche of the original United Kingdom, if it does not have a big victory to restore confidence, it may be slaughtered by the increasingly brave Holy Dragon Kingdom.
But that's not easy to say.
One councillor stood up pessimistically and said: "The social turmoil in the country, especially the massacre of the Holy Dragon Kingdom after the capture of the city of Harsh, has caused the whole country to fall into a pessimistic situation, and even a large number of citizens in the east have fled to the Holy Dynasty. ”
Bang!
The first to be unstable was the Speaker: "We don't have time to delay here, please take all your troops on the military, we must not let the enemy threaten the central region, we need a big victory to stabilize the people." ”
"It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. ”
The Führer said unhurriedly: "My lord, have you ever thought about what will happen if you bet on all our troops and still fail to win the big victory you want?"
"This ......"
The Speaker was speechless.
He knew very well that if he bet all the chips and fought a decisive battle with the Holy Dragon Kingdom or lost the war, then the empire would really be over, and there would not even be a chance to turn the tables, because the soldiers' faith would collapse directly.
Compared to physical death.
The collapse of faith in an army cannot be saved in any way.
After kneeling for a long time, you can't get up, just like the original Holy Dynasty, it is obviously the same big country, but it needs to be dependent on the empire, and even if the country is invaded, you need to ask for the assistance of the empire, so that the empire's army can enter the national capital openly.
This is inconceivable for a sovereign state.
In general, it is absolutely impossible for the armies of other countries to enter the territory without permission, even if that country is an ally, which has the possibility of being dominated by anti-guests, but in the face of the attack of the United Kingdom, the dynasty has no choice.
So at this time.
An old general stood up and said, "The lower officials think that for the sake of today, we can only turn to the Holy Dynasty for help. ”
"What a joke!"
One of the inquisitors was furious: "Do you want us to follow the example of the original dynasty and let the family drive the army into our territory in the open? and turn to a country that is weaker than us I don't know how many times, I think you are absolutely insane." ”
"What you say is extremely true, it's just nonsense. ”
"You are insulting the dignity and glory of the Empire. ”
“......”
The people criticized the old general, but unfortunately the old general was unmoved: "Then may I ask you, do you have a better way? Or should any of you take the initiative to invite Ying to fight? As long as any of you have a way to win 100 percent, I think the Führer will definitely be eclectic and entrust any of you with important tasks." ”
When the words fall, they become audible.
No one dared to answer this question, and no one wanted to be ordered at this time.
Everyone knows that the morale of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is like a rainbow now, and their decline has been decided, and it is no longer possible to pile up victories by relying on simple numbers.
"Tell me more. ”
The Reich Führer looked at the veteran general, and he realized that this might be the way to go.
The old general secretly praised in his heart, and then explained: "I don't want to trample on your poor self-esteem, but if you want to win the war and continue the future of the empire, you must face up to the strength of the current Holy Dynasty, and their results in destroying the 300,000 Black Dragon Legions of the Holy Dragon Kingdom within 27 hours are true." ”
Everyone present sneered, as if they wanted to mock the old general again.
However, the Speaker seemed to have foresight, and at this moment he raised his right hand, preventing everyone from speaking, and at the same time motioning for the old general to continue.
The old general nodded to the Speaker, and then continued: "I would like to ask you to put aside those useless arrogances and truly realize the strength of the Holy Dynasty in terms of military power, and now we must follow the decision of the Holy Dynasty when it was invaded by the United Kingdom, and ask for help from the Dynasty that can truly defeat the Holy Dragon Kingdom. ”
"Whether you live on your knees or die standing up, you have a choice. ”
After the old general said this, he sat back in his place, and he closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to the denunciations of others.
Despite the outrage at the old general's words, everyone in the room also realized that entrusting the war to their other enemy with the help of the Holy Dynasty was the only solution.
If you don't choose to do that—
Then they can only gamble on the future of the empire on the final showdown.
But the empire, which is just preparing for the return of the king, can it really afford to gamble?
