Chapter 647: Bargaining
The elven army finally slowly embarked on the road back to the Blue Frost Frozen Land, and the battle on the northern front, which lasted for more than two months, finally came to an end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the night of the retreat of the elven army, Lin Ye convened a military meeting of all the officers, and the core goal of this meeting was very clear.
That is, to immediately enter the next battlefield, and in the selection of the next battlefield, it is divided into two parts, namely the Eastern Front and the Western Front.
The northern front ended at the beginning, and the other three fronts were in a stalemate at this time, and they were in an unfavorable situation, especially on the eastern and southern fronts.
Because after all, the battlefield on the Western Front has a strategic depth to be involved, and due to the terrain and the vast territory, there is no fear of the enemy tearing it apart.
Even in this area there was no such thing as a tear, and that the Far Eastern Army would not have a problem holding out for another month or two, as can be seen in the letters sent by Lancelot, who succinctly spelled out the situation on the Western Front, and the Light Crusade certainly showed a surprising performance.
But this is still within the control of the Far Eastern Army, so the key problem now is still on the Eastern Front and the Southern Front, but there is still a problem.
That is, even if the northern front wins, if you want to go from the eastern front to the south and then to the north one by one, it will take too much time, and the transfer of large forces is not an easy thing, which will bring a series of troubles, and the battlefield on the eastern front is completely a naval battle, and Lin Ye can't let the orcs fight.
Except for a few orc tribes such as the Lizard Tribe, most of the orcs can't swim, and it's really difficult for them to go to naval battles.
"So Wolf, you and Ironpaw and Steelhoof lead the orc legion to the Western Front to rendezvous with Lancelot, while I return to the Far East and lead a small fleet south from Blackwater Harbor to join the Far Eastern Fleet fighting in the Eastern Sea, so that the march will be faster and more time-saving. ”
"After you join Lancelot, you will still adhere to the defensive strategy and not clash head-on with the main force of the Cross, the specific ideas I have written in the letter, you can hand it over to Lancelot and Jason, and after I have pacified the war on the Eastern Front, I will go directly to the south coast of the empire from sea and land. ”
"After defeating the Federation forces on the southern front in one go, I may be in a hurry to join you in the west, but if there are no major mistakes, it can still be done theoretically, you have all memorized your respective tasks, right? ”
Lin Ye pointed to the map and marked various points, which were all in different time periods, such as half a month later, a month later, and two months later.
At that time, the positions where the various troops would appear, and the places where they should advance, were recorded in great detail, and Wolf and the others kept nodding their heads.
"But my lord, it's okay for us to go directly to the Western Front to meet General Lancelot, but if you want to go around the whole empire, is it really okay?
Wolf asked Lin Ye suspiciously, it would take less than a month for them to travel from Stormwind Fortress to the Western Front to rendezvous with Lancelot.
At that time, 10,000 Far Eastern troops plus 10,000 orc troops will resist 100,000 Bright Crusades, although they are still at an absolute disadvantage in numbers.
But if the strategy is right, it will not suffer too much loss, and it will be more than enough to drag the Bright Crusade back, Wolf thinks that Lin Ye does not need to go around in circles himself, so that the continuous circle around the entire imperial coastline makes people feel a headache just thinking about it.
"If it's just to defeat the Bright Crusade, I don't have to go personally, I'm sure Lancelot can do it, but what we have to do is not only to defeat the cross, but there are more far-reaching problems to solve, and the naval battle in the East China Sea is now at a great disadvantage, and the composition of that huge fleet is very complicated, including not only the ships of the Bolton family in the East China Sea, but also the ships from the more east......"
Speaking of this, Lin Ye paused, he had dealt with the Bolton family, and the patriarch and heir of this family died in his hands.
But according to reliable intelligence sources, it seems that there are still many warships sailing from the more distant eastern continent, which makes him have to pay attention.
Because the Eastern Continent has always been a mysterious existence for the Miracle Continent, even the Black Fire Family where Lin Ye himself belongs.
It was also migrated from the Oriental Continent hundreds of years ago, and it has always retained the characteristics of the Orientals with black hair and black eyes, and it is difficult not to care about this.
"Eight feet also came with news, the shipyard has a new batch of steamships launched, I can just lead this batch of modified warships south, the speed of steamships is much faster than the traditional sailboats, so the time of the trip can be shortened a lot, as long as the naval battle in the East China Sea goes smoothly......"
"In a month, I will be able to appear on the south coast of the empire and confront the Federation Army, Wren he is also facing a lot of pressure, a month is almost the limit of what he can hold, as for how to solve the problem of the southern front, I have some eyebrows, and Commander Green is also my old acquaintance, I will also meet him for a while, the general strategy is like this, you all go down and prepare." ”
Lin Ye frowned, he waved his hand and signaled the officers to go back and prepare, after the orc legion left the Far East, not only in the Storm Fortress, but also to fight thousands of miles to the battlefield in the western part of the empire, this is absolutely unique in history, a great feat of epoch-making significance!
"That's it, that's understood, you also have to rest well and take care of your body, then we'll go down and prepare. ”
Wolf nodded, and went down with a group of officers, they had a small celebration party tonight, and the soldiers were still waiting for him.
At this time, Lin Ye also slowly walked out of the tent, and the evening breeze was slow, and the administrative governor of the Obsidian Province, Rhodes, just happened to greet him.
"It's really like a dream for more than two months, I thought it was going to be finished several times, and even the fortress became like this, but I didn't expect it to really survive, and the unstoppable elven army retreated like this, I still can't believe it's true. ”
Rod sighed with emotion, he was a layman who didn't know anything about military affairs, but after more than two months of baptism, he could be regarded as knowing a little bit about it.
"Although the enemy has retreated, there is still a long way to go to repair the border, especially because of the war, the economy of Obsidian Province has suffered a great impact, and it is up to you, the governor, to find a way to repair it. ”
Lin Ye punched him in the shoulder and smiled lightly, life on the battlefield is definitely unbearable for ordinary people.
"That's right, I still count on your Far East economic aid, just tell me directly, how much do you plan to lend me, this amount?"
Rod didn't come to him to make small talk, so he raised his finger and began to gesture without saying a word.
"You are blackmailing, no, at most this amount, the landlord's family has no surplus grain. ”
"If your family is poor, there will be no rich people in the world, no, at least this number. ”
"Let's take a step back, this number must be enough, this person is satisfied. ”
"A little more?"
"That's all there is to it. ”
"Don't, just the number just now, let's make a deal!"
Rhodes finally compromised and received a considerable amount of aid from the Far East, laughing heartily, and the night was quiet.
