"Urgent. Seven gunboats of the Gaia-class in Great Britain are violating the coastal zone of Newland, our country. ”

(In the world of Azero, the navy's ships are mostly made of wood, and according to their long-range ability and the number of naval guns they are equipped with, they are divided into three levels: Gaia, Chaos, and Abyss.) ）

It was to be expected that Great Britain would send troops. But is it a coincidence that it was chosen at such a time? Anyone with a little brain would associate it with the defeat on the Eastern Front. Annoying reports coming back from the newly established borders. This means that the empire is about to go to war with a new country again.

"The parade is over! Repeat, all assemble at once!"

The general officer of the General Staff Headquarters immediately spread the news to the exercise ground. With the terrible whistle, the captains of each detachment began to shout angrily at their own team members.

"From now on, the 102nd Rapid Reaction Brigade will immediately go to the Mulan area and contact the troops of the Eastern Front!"

Because the missing mechs on the Eastern Front have not yet been found. Therefore, before going to Newland for deployment, the 102nd Brigade must first go to the Eastern Front. Perform the task of wiping the ass of the 101st brigade. This means that after the troubles on the Eastern Front are resolved, 102 will most likely be deployed to Newland, which has just been incorporated into the empire.

The Imperial War Department, the personnel subordinate to the headquarters are running around. The radio continued to roar, and there was no sign of stopping for a moment. After obtaining the necessary information, the sound of how to deploy the army came and went, and the sound was noisy. Being able to distinguish the information you need in the midst of a noisy voice is definitely something that ordinary people admire to the point of throwing themselves to the ground.

Originally, on the parade stage, the generals and officers wearing * all left behind the posture that a gentleman should have. I don't care at all about running and sticking to the mud picked up on the muddy ground of the school field.

I think they'll be grateful, thank the technician who invented wireless. If it weren't for the advent of this technology, the empire might have been even more chaotic at this time.

"World war? It looks like it's getting more interesting. ”

Just when I was imagining an impending world war. His thoughts were interrupted by a voice.

What interrupted my thoughts was a corps-level chief of staff sent by the Western Front to visit the 102nd Brigade in the imperial capital to review the exercise.

"Lieutenant General, why does the Empire have to go to war with the world?"

It seems that the relationship next to the Elven Forest, the Western War Zone, which was once deeply affected by the war, has been affected by the Night Elves to make them yearn for peace even more.

"Colonel, watch your words!"

The entourage of the staff headquarters reminded sternly and kindly.

For the current Empire, such a somewhat inexplicable remark by that staff colonel is a very dangerous thing. At least, now that everyone is fighting, this kind of anti-war thinking will make people pull out and shoot.

......

Imperial War Department

When the communications officer of the headquarters spoke with the investigators in Newland and asked about the situation. I laughed coldly.

The sudden laughter made many people present in the headquarters feel a creepy chill surging up their backs at the same time. ...... , that Major Angelina actually ...... They couldn't guess what that intoxicated smile was.

In Newland's port area, the tide goes down during the day and rises at night. Well, if Britannia's navy were to attack Newland during the day, it would mean that they would be much longer to land. And at night, the kind of visibility that is so low that it is frightening, if you carry out a login operation, it is actually no different from sending you to death.

After all, the strategy was well on the move, and I spent a long time researching Newland. And the troops currently stationed in Newland, it seems that they are not putting much energy into the tide. Therefore, it is normal for the empire not to know about this kind of thing.

So, what is the purpose of Britannia's strange move?

"No frigates?"

"Yes, just seven ships. ”

This means that once an offshore operation is carried out, the enemy's ship size advantage no longer exists. A giant ship that attacks simply with the advantage of a barrage can only be a live target in front of the Imperial mecha that can move at high speed.

My expectation is that the gang will remain in Newland until the 102nd Brigade is out of its mission on the Eastern Front.

"God, I hope that the 102nd Brigade will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime realm. ”

If it were normal, I would never say such a thing. However, there are not many opportunities to train your team members in naval battles.

In the event of a crushing defeat of Great Britain's navy, the position of the supremacy of the sea may immediately change hands.

I guess I am ......the only one who can see through this level in an instant! ）

Strategic Analysis

curve

The current strategic environment of the Empire

The borders of the empire were on various lines, and the eastern front was at odds with the Sukaran Federation. But because of the defeat of the 101st Brigade, in fact, the empire suffered a loss. Although the southern front is basically more than 90 percent coastline, it has encountered a Great Britain that is famous for its naval combat power.

In the north, due to the transfer of the main force of heavy cavalry to the Eastern Front, there was a serious emptiness in the deployment of troops. At this time, if Belmar suddenly gives you a look behind your back. The empire is imminently in a precarious situation.

Therefore, at present, the western front is a little better. As the backbone of the Alliance, the Night Elves are a peace-loving race. Except, of course, the lunatics who survived the night.

Therefore, with the existing mobile combat power of the Empire, seize the opportunity to dispatch and defeat the enemy individually.

This even the so-called "curve strategy".

The key to the curve strategy.

That is, there are strategic forces on all fronts of the empire to carry out a frontal or flank feint attack, while holding down its main force. The speed and striking capabilities of the newly built rapid reaction force will be brought into full play. As long as you can quickly and cleanly, you can break through the enemy forces on all sides before the encirclement is completely formed. Then it is the victory of the Empire. If you don't act quickly enough, waiting for the results of the empire, you can imagine it.

Outside strategy

That is, to wage war in another country.

Once the curve strategy is successful, it will inevitably carry out further deep-seated strikes against the enemy countries participating in the war, and it will become the most important task to carry out the necessary military strikes and demagoguery within the territory of other countries.

The requirement was to breach the enemy's vital military installations or establish a temporary defensive line before reinforcements from the main Imperial forces arrived. This is the so-called "outside strategy".
