Chapter 554: Dilemma
Get to the North.
300,000 troops were recruited.
Vega, who is in full swing, has a lot of dreams and is ready to make a move on the city of Lops.
However, just as Vega was about to use force, Foster destroyed all the communication arteries and bridges leading to the city of Lops, cutting off all the connections between the city of Lops and the north.
Vega had never thought of this.
The empire has always been arrogant, and in the case of the loss of the north, it will generally think about how to retake the north, instead of really giving up the north, destroying all the communication arteries is equivalent to announcing to Vega, I don't want the north, just give it to you.
Is this the style of the Empire?
This kind of thing might be done by other small nations, but Vega alone doesn't believe the Empire will do it.
There may be only one way to do this-
The Empire is about to make a big move.
However, this ultimate move requires a considerable amount of preparation time, so the Empire does not hesitate to cut off all ties between the city of Lops and the north, and even surrender the entire north, and does not want to continue to fight with Vega in a short time.
The more this is the case with the Empire, the more urgent Vega feels.
But with the destruction of major roads and bridges, a large-scale march has become an impossible event, and it will take five or six months to repair these communication routes.
Of course, this is just Vega's speculation.
He wasn't sure if the Empire was preparing for the so-called big move, and the mere fact that Foster had cut off the city of Ropps from the north was not enough direct proof that the Empire was stalling for time.
Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to look at the big picture.
An excellent general will not limit his eyes to his own battlefield, but will always pay attention to the situation of other war situations, and speculate the strategy of an entire country through other war situations.
First, let's take a look at the situation in the eastern part of the empire.
There was a "firmly occupied" city of Ellkia by hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers drawn by the star mage Okassos.
It can indeed be described as firmly occupied.
Because every time Ocasus stepped out of the city of Elkia to seize another economic capital, the city of Zelantu, the Imperial army took back Ellkia with the back foot, cutting off Ocassos' supply lines, forcing Ocassos to retake Ellkia.
Speaking of which.
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers that Ocasus had organized casually became a burden, and he took the city of Elkia almost alone, but he had to rely on these soldiers to manage the city.
So in Vega's opinion.
It was not Ocasus who 'firmly occupied' Ellkia, but Elokia who imprisoned Ocassos.
This ending Vega had already predicted, and this situation would probably continue until the end of the war, after all, the power of one person is limited after all, and it is easy for Ocasus to destroy a country, but it is almost impossible to occupy a country.
Although you come and go in the east, the wind is calm.
But it can also be seen that in the east and here in the north, the Imperial army seems to be stalling for time.
To verify this, Vega looked to the west.
To the west was the home of the Liberty League, where the Imperial Army had confined all its forces to strategic cities and several important sub-strategic points, leaving the Liberty League unmoved. Coupled with the 800,000 troops withdrawn from the kingdom by the Empire, the heavy cities in the west are as hard as turtle shells, and the Freedom Alliance has no temper.
The same is true for the north-west.
Due to the entry of the Kingdom Army into the battlefield, although the situation in the northwest direction has opened up slightly, it is only slightly, and from the current situation of the battle, the Kingdom and the Duchy of Baya will not be able to achieve any decisive advantage for at least ten months.
Need to know.
The loss of these important cities and sub-strategic points of the empire meant that the richest and most prosperous part of the empire could rest easy, as it was the most populous, economically developed, and at the same time the concentration of military industry.
Taken together.
Vega was eighty percent sure that the Empire was indeed stalling for time.
Five months at the least, a year at the most, and the empire will surely open a hole card that they can't handle.
Of course.
In the end, Vega was 100% sure that this speculation was still the battle situation in the west of the Jialan Mountains.
According to the latest battle report obtained by Vega, the Eleven-Nation Alliance is pressing on the Freedom Alliance step by step at any cost, and the Nine-Nation Alliance, which is dominated by the Freedom Alliance, could have gained the upper hand, but the Freedom Alliance fought on two fronts, resulting in a disadvantage.
Other words.
The Free Alliance was now under a tremendous pressure for every day it spent in the east, and Vega knew on his toes that it must be the Empire that was trying to get the Free Alliance out of the fight.
Based on the current situation.
The Freedom Alliance can continue to fight in the east for a maximum of seven months, and if it still does not achieve any decisive results, it is likely that it will not be able to withstand the enormous pressure and choose to withdraw its troops and return home.
What will happen once the coalition withdraws?
I am afraid that the day the alliance withdraws will be the time when the imperial hole card is opened.
If this hole card really reaches the level of rebellion, then the empire will surely sweep the east and complete the unification of the east in a real sense.
All the evidence is that the Empire is 100% stalling for time.
Now that this is known, the only way to break the impasse is to achieve a quick solution.
Look back at the northern front.
Now the only way to achieve a quick victory is to get the main force out of Lops City, but now there is no route that can reach Lops City in a short time, so the battle seems to have reached a dead end again?
Looked at the map for a long time.
Vega finally thought of airlift after confirming that a ground march was not feasible.
But he could think of it, and Foster must be able to think of it.
Vega was sure that the airspace within a radius of 100 miles from Kareni would be heavily protected, and if he really dared to send an air force to force a breakthrough, it was very likely that he would be wiped out by the enemy in the air.
In the Jialan Continent.
Even if it is confirmed that the enemy does not have an air force, the general will not dare to rush by air.
Because once there is an accident, no one can afford the consequences, a war airship can carry at least 3,000 soldiers, if a few ships are destroyed a little, this war will not have to be fought again.
Vega didn't dare to bet.
Especially when the enemy's air supremacy is greater than his, he is even more afraid to take risks.
There is no way to heaven and no door to the earth.
Vega encountered the same situation as on other fronts, and it became absolutely impossible to advance the front in a short period of time.
So now there are only two options left for Vega.
Either he will accept it when he sees it, quietly become his king of the north, and use the current time to loot the north.
Either find a way to take out the enemy's air force, and then the army will crush the city of Lops.
