Chapter 828: Time, Time
In the eyes of others, Marshal Manstein's approach may indeed be very efficient, but it is also very costly, it is impossible to continue to fight offensive and defensive battles with demons, and to continuously carry out offensive and defensive tug-of-war in a city, and the losses are not small.
But the same thing seemed completely different, and he may not have approved of Manstein's approach, but he admired such a strategy immensely.
Loss?
Of course, there will be losses in war, so any idea of trying to avoid losses in war is stupid, and the reason why a good general is excellent is to control losses to a minimum, not to avoid losses completely, and even more so not to give up opportunities in order to avoid losses, as was the case with Marshal Manstein.
The method he chose did cause some casualties, but the casualties of the coalition forces were almost negligible compared to those of the demons, so to criticize Marshal Manstein's strategy at this point would be tantamount to picking a bone in the egg.
And those who accuse Marshal Manstein seem to have forgotten one thing please, and that is time!
It has long been said that in the early days of the war, the power of the demons was actually the weakest, during this time the demons were like a plate of scattered sand, the number was not too much at all, and the strategy of the coalition army was precisely to occupy as much land as possible during this time, and then to get more strategic space for future battles, and the strategy adopted by Marshal Manstein just saved a lot of time, and if the most demons were eliminated in the shortest time, the Kalhan area could be occupied in a shorter time, and the earlier the Kalhan area was occupied, the sooner the coalition forces could make the next move!
This is the real key, this is the real big picture, this is the performance of His Excellency the Marshal of the Empire!
"That's amazing......"
Sitting on the sofa and looking at the sand table directly opposite, Rocky couldn't help but sigh, and had to admire, because at the beginning, like the others, he misunderstood Marshal Manstein's idea and thought that he had made a wrong decision, but now it seems that he is still too young to understand the intention of His Excellency the Marshal.
And just as he couldn't help but sigh, Lilia pushed the door and walked in, and handed him a document: "This is the latest information from the research institute on the new generation of special armor for land warfare, you can take a look." ”
"Good. ”
Then he took the information and looked at it, Rocky seemed very leisurely, he had been focusing on the counteroffensive war in the past few days, and he went to the research institute less often than before, but there was no need to worry about having Hammer Fire preside over the research.
"By the way, go and talk to the teachers, the research and development of the special armor of the orcs should also be improved, and new technologies should be added, and it is best to add attribute technology to it, especially the special armor of He Nan must be focused on transformation. ”
"Well, I'll go. ”
With a word of yes, Lilia immediately went to the institute.
Nearly a year has passed since Honan led the Huoteng tribe to join Rocky's command, and in this year or so, the Huoteng tribe has taken root in Beishan Village and basically integrated into the forces under Rocky's rule, and at the same time, Rocky has also designed a special battle armor for them.
But it's a pity that although the orc armor was designed more than half a year ago, it has been mass-produced and has no chance to be used, because Rocky has not fought with the enemy for a long time recently, so only a small part of the orc armor has been produced to assist in the defense of the mountain village and train orc warriors.
However, in today's big era, the speed of development of science and technology is enough to be described by leaps and bounds, and in just a few years, even the white demon armor has been updated many times, not to mention other armors, especially after the successful research of attribute science and technology, the special armor used by people such as Lilia and others are facing the problem of upgrading, which makes the special armor of the orcs not even put into actual combat, and it is about to be eliminated......
Therefore, while actively developing a new generation of special armor for land warfare, Rocky has not forgotten about the special armor for orcs, and redesigned it to no longer exist, because the special armor for orcs has only been designed for a short time, and most of the technologies are the latest, so it is enough to add some attribute technologies and make some fine-tuning on it.
If it was really before, this work would definitely be tiring to death, after all, the special armor for land warfare is being developed, and it will definitely be too busy to transform other armors halfway, but now it is good, and now the scale of the R&D team in Thunder Eagle City is enough to carry out the research and development of several projects at the same time, so everyone saves a lot of effort.
And just like that, another three months passed.
In the past three months, in addition to the usual development and transformation of the battle armor, Rocky has also carried out a large-scale increase in troops, and he still pays close attention to the training of these recruits, and although he himself did not say anything about it, in fact, everyone knows that he is definitely not willing to be a spectator in the rear, and Rocky must have a plan for the next step.
At the same time, the coalition forces were also excellent in melee combat during these three months, for example, the previously controversial Field Marshal Manstein had occupied almost the entire Karhan area!
It must be admitted that Marshal Manstein really deserves the title of the god of war, and after using the initiative to destroy hundreds of thousands of demons, he quickly took control of most of the cities in the Kalhan region with lightning speed, and all the actions highlighted one word, that is, fast.
The reason why the scene of hundreds of thousands of demons attacking at the same time appeared was because the coalition army only occupied three cities, and the goal was very single, but when the three cities became thirty cities, there was no organization or command at all, and it was impossible for the demons who acted on instinct to gather hundreds of thousands, and once the demons were dispersed, then even if there were still a lot of demons in the Calhan area, even if the terrain of this area was extremely unfavorable for defense, the coalition army could still defend steadily, and further reduce the number of demons through defenseuntil the entire Calhan area is occupied.
And when everything settles and then looks back at Marshal Manstein's series of actions, you will find that His Excellency Marshal obviously thought of the offensive strategy at the beginning of the war, which was able to control the Calhan area that everyone thought would take a long time to occupy so quickly, which not only saved a lot of time for the coalition forces, so that the coalition forces could carry out the next battle plan faster, but also minimized casualties!
This kind of grand strategy cannot but be admired.
