Chapter 818: Normal Behavior
The northern part of the Jialan Country, the city of ice and fire.
Haussmann's 400,000-strong army was stationed here, and the 400,000 troops in the west bank were commanded by Major General Skoro Darnay, who had surrendered with Haussmann in the east, and who was now highly regarded by Haussmann.
The 800,000 troops of the Jialan Kingdom were released here.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the Jialan Empire preparing to jump over the wall in a hurry, fighting to the death, intending to take down the empire first before the World Alliance attacks, unify the entire East, and then forcibly open up with the Western countries.
But the forces are not in a hurry at all.
Because the probability of taking the Nuolan Empire before the World Alliance attacked the Jialan Empire was less than one percent, and they could send troops to support them at any time, the Jialan Empire's move was completely self-defeating.
This is not only known to other forces, but even the generals of the Jialan Kingdom are also clear.
At a meeting in the City of Ice and Fire, the general of the defending army of the former City of Ice and Fire asked Hausman: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, we have received information that the Imperial Army has sent 800,000 troops to support Kareni City, with our 400,000 troops in the City of Ice and Fire, and the enemy still refuses to defend the city, it may not be appropriate to rashly launch a war of aggression." ”
The crowd looked at Haussmann with suspicion.
If the person sitting in that position was Vega, the crowd here would never have any doubts, because if Vega said that this war could be won, even if there was only one army group, they would dare to fight to the death, but it was Hausman who was sitting there......
The answer is obvious.
No one thought Haussmann could win a war that he could never win.
And Hausman was not surprised by this, he said kindly: "I think you have misunderstood something, when did I say that I was going to attack the territory of the empire?"
"Then what are you mobilizing a full 800,000 troops and eight aviation regiments to divide the Northern Ice and Fire and the West Bank Black Gold for?" a staff officer said in a skeptical tone, apparently not believing Hausman's nonsense.
"Everyone's misunderstood. ”
Hausman said with a look of surprise: "I have just received an order from His Majesty the King to come to the border with an army to garrison the border in case the Empire suddenly attacks at this point in time. ”
"Is this an order from His Majesty?"
The major general of the defending army showed a surprised expression, and Hausman said that he didn't know anything, but just came to garrison according to Vega's order, and suddenly showed an expression of admiration: "Sure enough, His Majesty the King is far-sighted, he must have expected that the empire would suddenly raise troops to raid at this time, so he took precautions early." ”
"His Majesty the King is wise. ”
"There is His Majesty in Jialan, and the war in the coming year will definitely be won. ”
"Speaking of guilt, Your Majesty has even counted the Empire's surprise attack, and our officers on the border are unaware. ”
"Isn't that the greatness of Your Majesty? ”
“......”
One person in the room spoke a word, before expounding on the worship of Vega.
It seems that in the army of the Jialan Empire, anything that is tied up with Vega, even if it is unreasonable, will become a matter of course. Haussman also saw this clearly, and appeased the high-level with a few casual words.
After pacifying the higher-ups.
Haussman made another response according to the response actions made by the empire -
Sent an army of 100,000 to the border and stationed there,
Hausman's action immediately startled Foster, who was close to Kareni, who thought that the Jialan Army was about to attack, so he hurriedly ordered the closure of Kareni City and prepared to defend the city.
But what he never expected was this.
The Jialan Army did not cross the border to wage war against them, but set up a defensive line near the border of the Jialan Country, looking like you would never have imagined it even if you had a million troops.
"Is this news true?"
Foster heard the battle report brought back by the scout, and his brow twisted into a twist.
"It doesn't make sense, it makes so much sense. ”
Foster walked back and forth in the conference room.
If the Jialan Army really wants to attack them, why should they arrange defensive lines in their own territory, once the attack is launched, those defensive lines will still be divided and stationed, which will not weaken the offensive force.
It doesn't make sense to say that it's a way back for yourself.
The rear is the City of Ice and Fire, once defeated, the Jialan Army can completely withdraw to the City of Ice and Fire, where is the city of ice and fire that is put in the defense line, so this makes Foster puzzled.
At this time, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Will it ...... Jialan is not going to attack at all, but ...... Arming?"
This thought was really normal, and if other countries were to mobilize 800,000 troops to the border under the condition of disadvantage, his first thought would definitely be that the enemy was preparing for defense rather than preparing for an attack.
But it is precisely because the enemy is the Jialan country.
This led to the fact that he never thought that the Jialan State would make a normal move of heavy military deployment from beginning to end.
If this is really used to explain the actions of the Jialan Army, then everything makes sense.
The reason why the Jialan Kingdom sent troops to the City of Ice and Fire and the City of Black and Gold was to prevent them from suddenly launching an attack on the Jialan Kingdom, and on the other hand, it was also to deal with the war in the coming year, and these two cities were the front line of the war.
Later, when they mobilized 1.6 million reinforcements to arrive, Jialan immediately sent 100,000 troops to the border to build a defensive line, isn't this just a normal response to fear that they will launch an attack?
It's so normal!
It's so normal that it can't be any more normal.
"Sure enough, we were all scaring ourselves before?"
Foster had a look of eating a fly on his face, and if that was true, it would be a shame. People just raise their hands normally, and they think about it, work hard and move the crowd, and scare themselves halfway.
"No, that's not for sure. ”
In order to test the true intentions of the Jialan army, Foster mobilized a group army of 100,000 troops to establish a defensive line on the border, and warned the commander of the 100,000 army to retreat as soon as the Jialan country attacked.
This army group is actually a decoy.
If the purpose of the Jialan Empire is to attack, it will definitely not let go of this piece of fat.
But if Jialanguo has no intention of attacking at all, and this time he is really here to garrison, then there will only be two possibilities, one is to ignore his actions, and the other is to strengthen the defense line.
And it was as Foster expected.
The next day Foster received news that the enemy had sent another 100,000 troops and was building a stronger defensive line.
At the same time, the war spies lurking in the City of Fire and Ice also brought back information, and there was no trace of Vega Saint Laurent in the City of Fire and Ice at all, only Haussmann Christian commanding the army.
And at the last high-level meeting.
Hausman's reply to the generals was also stationed, not attacked.
This made Foster fall like a deflated ball, it turned out that all this was really just scaring himself, so at this juncture, how could the Jialan Empire fight a war with a victory rate of less than one percent.
Should have thought of it a long time ago.
At this time, strengthening the defense of the border and paying attention to the movements of the mainland countries is the most important thing for the Jialan Empire to do, and these actions of the Jialan Empire are normal and completely logical.
