Chapter 12: Imperial Resolve

"Your Excellency Maximilia, telegram from the 6th Division. ”

Soon, the news of the blockage of the 6th Division's attack on Lando Barça soon reached Maximilia, who was still resting in the north, by telegraph communication

"Read. Maximilia, who was standing in front of the map and thinking about the attack plan repeatedly, commanded casually

"Our division encountered stubborn resistance from the border guards of the northern army of the Gallia Army with the newly formed regular army on the northern defense line of the city of Lando Basa, and the Gallia army deployed at least 20,000 elite troops in the area of the city and built strong fortifications, and our sixth division risked the death to attack with a lack of men and equipment, although it caused huge casualties to the enemy, but it was ......"

"This nonsense for me to skip and get to the point. ”

Listening to the adjutant's unhurried nonsense and exculpatory words about Zhistov, Maximilia felt a little impatient

"I just want the results I want. ”

"Yes...... During the campaign, the three brigades of our army suffered losses of varying degrees, the consumption of ammunition and equipment was huge, and the loss of soldiers was more than 1,000 people, and I implore the headquarters to replenish it, and the commander of the sixth division ......"

Before he could finish reading, the adjutant couldn't read it anymore, and just by looking at Maximilia's face, he knew that he was very angry

"I didn't write the results of the battle, that is to say, there were no results at all, and it is a fool to lose a whole thousand people and not even have a little result that can be obtained. ”

Although angry, but Maximilia has no sense of outburst, this is what makes him afraid, as long as it is something that makes Maximilia angry, he will never burst into flames, he will only suppress that angry anger in his eyes and psychology, and wait until the future, when you let down your guard and vigilance, he will explode.

Defeat and knock you down unexpectedly, and then trample your corpse so that you have no place to die, so most of his men are afraid of him, afraid of this very forgiving and retributive Maximilia.

"Your Highness, what do you say is the best reply?"

Seeing that the crown prince was silent for a long time, the adjutant was sweating profusely and asked worriedly

"Tell him that I have no reinforcements here to give him, no extra ammunition, and no more combat supplies, and tell him that the original order will not change, and that he will not be able to take Landobaca in three days, three days, and come to see him. Send it back like that. ”

Less than a month after the war, the Galia Expeditionary Force had already begun to fall into disarray. Equipment, soldiers, and ammunition that had been agreed upon in advance...... Even fuel supplies were not distributed to the Galia expeditionary force as planned.

Since the occupation of the northern fortress, the Imperial Ministry has long withheld and delayed the supply of supplies to the expeditionary force on the grounds that the federal front is the priority and priority support for the main front, so that the expeditionary force has been in a state of tightening its belt for a long time.

The imperial senators, led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, had already gained an absolutely dominant position in this competition involving candidates for the next emperor, and suppressed the remaining faction led by Maximilia to the death. This time, Maximilia commanded the Galian Expeditionary Force, a patchwork team, was the result of their joint suppression.

How can such a great task be entrusted to someone other than oneself? What if Maximilia suddenly defects and negotiates peace with the Federation in front of the battle?

He is a quasi-prince, the only two princes of direct blood who are still alive in the current emperor.

One of the legitimate bloodline heirs of the Imperial Union, if he is in control of the troops on a front and colludes with the United Army, it is really possible to cause huge threats and immeasurable losses to the Empire.

These Maximilian themselves know it, and the gang in the imperial capital knows even better.

Hence the story of Maximilia's arrival on the secondary front of Galia.

Leaving Maximilia out of the center and center of power without giving him control of an army that was too powerful and could decide the balance of the war. It can not only elevate Maximilia, but also give the people a satisfactory answer.

'His Royal Highness the Prince-to-be is the commander of the campaign against Galia. ’

Such an identity and status is enough to fool those fools of the empire who don't understand anything, and the purpose of the crown prince's faction can also be achieved.

It was too good a strategy to be, although it would have been unfortunate for Maximilia's troops.

And......

Nor do they know Maximilia's true purpose and ambition for coming to this apparently exiled place.

"Three days, the last three days, three days later, the eagle flag of the Reich must fly over the city of Landobasa, otherwise, the next time the 6th Division will need to present not a telegram, but the head of Zhistov, which will be sent to them according to the original words. This is the last order, there is no room for change. ”

Yes, Maximilia who came to this place of exile had his own calculations and stratagems, an excellent plan that could wipe out the enemies of the imperial capital, the hostile forces against him, and even the whole world at once.

He had been planning this plan for many, many years, and had not explained it to anyone.

But......

"Your Highness, General Grigory sent a telegram saying that the line of defense of the Gallian Army on the Eastern Front seemed to be showing signs of contraction, and the General estimated that the Gallian Army was ready to withdraw. ”

Selubellia walked over to Maximilia to report

It's all the same, all the same, all part of my plan, all the same to follow my commands. ’

"The eastern line of the Gallian Army is shrinking, and I agree with Grigory's judgment that the Gallian Army must have intended to retreat westward to the core of the line on the west side of the lower Reims River to rebuild. ”

Looking at the three arrows on the map symbolizing the emperor's offensive, Maximilia's eyes were sharp

"After fierce battles in recent months, Galia's northern army, known as the impregnable wall, has been exhausted, and the sharpest spear border guards have also reached the limit several times, and now is the time to completely annihilate Galia's elite combat power. ”

Those who had not fought with Galia did not know the tenacity of the Galian and the Galian army, and unlike the arrogant propaganda of the Empire and the Federation, Maximilia knew from the beginning that this bone was not easy to gnaw.

Gallia, which was the first to implement and adopt the all-soldier system on the European continent and has an efficient mobilization system, has scientific and technological reserves that are not inferior to the empire and the federation, and has a very comprehensive war industrial system.

Gallia, who was on the verge of losing several wars, but who won amazing victories in the end.

It is a pocket giant that the whole of Europe does not dare to underestimate.

Once time is given to mobilize its terrible war system, unless the resources and troops of the whole country are mobilized to fight a general war with Galia, if you want to defeat Galia, you must use a large number of technical equipment to eliminate the elite border guards and northern armies of the Galian Army in a very short period of time, otherwise when they grow stronger in the later stage, they will no longer be the opponents that the current expeditionary force can compete with.

"Order all the troops in the northern part of the rest to abandon the rest and advance towards Lando Basa, and the 24th Division in the vanguard should arrive in three days. ”

"Yes!"

The adjutant, after recording the order to Maximilia, ran to the telegraph room: "Order the 1st Division, which is resting in Bruru in the eastern region, to immediately attack and advance southward." The order is the same, give me a rush to Lando Barça in three days. ”

"Yes!"

The telecommunications man took Maximilia's order and began to send more information

At the same time, he ordered Grigory to launch an attack, to slow down the retreat of the Gallian army, and to hold them for three days, so that they could not retreat through the Landobasa pass. ”

"Beep-beep-beep-beep......"

The command beeps Morse code into the air, spreading out in all directions.

"Three days! In three days, our two armies on the northern and eastern fronts will come to Lando Barça, completely cutting off the retreat of Galia, and then the result will be the same even if the Sixth Division fails to capture Lando Barça. ”

Thinking carefully about his arrangement, Maximilia felt that nothing had been missed in his arrangement and got up from the table where the map was placed.

"The retreat of the Gallia Army on the Eastern Front will be closed in three days, and whether Landobasa is still in their hands or not, the Gallia Army on the Eastern Front will be in trouble!"

Temporary Intelligence Gathering Centre for the Tierdania

"Beep...... Beep beep beep ...... Beep beep beep ......"

The encrypted message sent from the headquarters of the Imperial Galia Dispatch Force was intercepted by Carlton Bruna

"Brush Brush Brush ......"

While listening to the telegram, Bluna's slender hands tapped on her computer keyboard at great speed, and entered the Morse code into the processing computer of her intelligence department, the 'New Enigma Code'.

Who will win if a 20th-century unit and a 21st-century unit fight with the same front-line equipment?

The answer, of course, is the troops of the 21st century.

It should not be anything else, just because informatization is enough

The codes used in 20th-century radio stations were invented by mathematicians, no matter how sophisticated.

In the 21st century, communication ciphers were made up by computers.

The 20th-century human-mathematical code was to Bruna with the modern 20th-century supercomputer as if there was no password.

"Hey, analysis over!—Long live the chairman!"

Listening to the sound of completing the analysis less than a few seconds after she entered the intercepted Morse code, Bruna quickly read the results and clicked on the computer's print button with a bang

"Hey, it's printed!—Bruna is the most beautiful!"

A few seconds later, several records contained the sender address, the sending channel, and all the contents of the deciphered telegram

There are also some hot information sheets that have reached Buluna's hands.

"Karl, let us raise the glass of victory, for from this day forward we are above God. ”
