After agreeing to Bourbon II's order, Ouyang Yu and Admiral Bonaparte left the banquet hall together, and walked in the palace, Admiral Bonaparte asked Ouyang Yu: "Colonel Ouyang, when will your army arrive at the front, and how many soldiers will be sent to join the battle?" Because it was to discuss military matters, Admiral Bonaparte began to address Ouyang Yu by military rank.

Ouyang Yu thought for a while and replied: "If you march in a hurry, the infantry will take a week, but heavy weapons and other equipment will take half a month, and the number of soldiers who can participate in the battle is only five thousand. ”

Admiral Bonaparte was slightly surprised and said: "Only 5,000? Too little, you are not the commander of the local garrison of the Principality of Lucerne, anyway, the Principality of Luxon does not need a garrison to defend, so transfer the 50,000 garrison with you." ”

"This is absolutely not good!" Ouyang Yu did not have any scruples about Admiral Bonaparte's face and said loudly: "The soldiers of the garrison must not go to the battlefield, the garrison of the principality has dismissed nearly half of the unqualified and chaotic soldiers after I took over, and the current number is only 30,000, and they have just been retrained, and they have not even been retrained for a month, and it is murder to let them go to the battlefield now!

"I know all this, but now St. Ives City is in danger, the front line is insufficient, and it is too late to reorganize and train from the rear, and it will take more than a month for other coalition forces to send reinforcements, I can only transfer troops from the Duchy of Luxemble, but I can't transfer too much 20,000 is already the limit, so the 30,000 people in your hands must all be put into the defensive battle of St. Ives City!

"Yes, I obey your orders. ”

"Hmph, so be it, report to my headquarters when your troops arrive in a week. ”

With that, Admiral Bonaparte angrily got into his magic car and hurried to the front under the protection of the guards.

"Curse you to be killed by an Imperial plane halfway through. ”

Ouyang Yu cursed uselessly at the distant convoy, sighed and walked to his command car, because the distance was too far Ouyang Yu could not use the command system to give orders to his army, so he had to return to the hotel and ask the captain of the guard, Ludendorff, to use the radio to send combat orders to his subordinates in the Principality of Luxemble.

During the period when Ouyang Yu was waiting for his army to arrive, the battle situation of the Gallic Kingdom coalition army became more and more unfavorable, and the imperial army with high morale and advanced equipment launched a continuous attack with great momentum, using absolute air superiority to attack the transportation lines, warehouses, A large-scale air raid was launched on the concentration of troops, and the armored forces on the ground were strengthened by leaps and bounds, which smashed the Gallic allied defense line into a thousand holes, and the imperial army's air-ground integrated battle became more and more mature, and the whizzing Imperial warplanes became a nightmare in the minds of the allied soldiers.

The Imperial Army advanced at a rate of twenty kilometers per day, and in a week it advanced the front to just over two hundred kilometers from the city of St. Ives.

"Buzz ......!"

Ouyang Yu looked up on the balcony of the hotel, the reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Army flew over the sky, this is already the sixth one today, three days ago, when the first reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Army appeared in the sky above the city of Saint-Ives, there was a large-scale chaos in the city of Saint-Ives, the residents of the city were extremely panicked, rumors spread, plus some people took advantage of the fire to loot and loot the shops, many fires in the city were a scene of apocalypse, and finally Bourbon II sent his own Praetorian Guard to carry out military control of the city of Saint-Ives to parallel the riots, but I heard Gaia, who had already left, say that in fact, it was Bourbon II's eldest grandson Justin who ordered the Praetorian Guard to dispatch, Bourbon II was actually stunned when the reconnaissance plane first appeared.

Back in the room and put on a military hat, Ouyang Yu took Princess Roni and Anna and Anne to leave the hotel together, and drove towards the north of the city in a command car under the protection of the personal guards.

Today is the day when Ouyang Yu's army arrives, according to the predetermined plan, 30,000 Ouyang Yu's army (including 25,000 ordinary soldiers) and 20,000 Lucerne allied troops will arrive in St. Ives City at three o'clock in the afternoon, and then in order to stabilize the hearts of the residents in St. Ives City, Ouyang Yu's army and Luxon Coalition Army will rest for a day in St. Ives City before going to the front line.

At half past two in the afternoon, Ouyang Yu came to the platform of the railway station, raised his hand and looked at his watch, then found a bench nearby, sat down and closed his eyes to recuperate.

At this time, the train station was crowded with civilians who wanted to leave St. Ives City by train, since the day the reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Army appeared in St. Ives City, a large number of nobles and commoners fled every day, even the big nobles were no exception, although the Imperial Army had a good attitude towards the nobles, but it was also after the battle was settled, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army often broke into the nobles' homes to loot, and by the way, they would do some insulting things to women, so it was normal for the nobles to flee from St. Ives City for their own safety。

The time gradually came to three o'clock in the afternoon, a magic train pulled a shrill whistle from a distance, slowed down and slowly stopped to the platform where Ouyang Yu was, behind the locomotive was a long more than 20 carriages, after the train stopped, the carriage was opened, countless soldiers wearing Soviet military uniforms stepped out of the carriage, and quickly lined up in the sound of the commanders' orders, which attracted the curiosity of the surrounding people and cast a lot of eyes, and they all guessed the origin of this army, but one thing is certain that this army wearing unseen military uniforms must be reinforcements from their own side。

Several officers of Ouyang Yu's army walked quickly in front of Ouyang Yu and saluted and said loudly: "Report to the respected leader, the local garrison of the Duchy of Lucerne has been ordered to come and ask for instructions!"

Ouyang Yu got up and saluted back, "Immediately gather the team and wait for my order." ”

"Yes!", the officers saluted again and turned to carry out Ouyang Yu's order.

Ouyang Yu now has a big problem, there is no deputy to help her manage a 30,000-person army-level combat unit, there is no chief of staff and staff who can formulate a battle plan, there is no senior officer, and there is a lack of middle-level officers, so she can only organize 30,000 people into dozens of reinforced battalions, there is no establishment above the regiment, and the lack of talent greatly limits the development and combat effectiveness of Ouyang Yu's army.

One by one magic energy trains drove into the station, more and more soldiers of Ouyang Yujun and Lucerne Allied Army got off the carriage, and at half past four in the afternoon, 30,000 Ouyang Yu Army and 20,000 Lusen Allied Army were assembled, and then lined up in a neat queue, carrying guns and walking out of the station with their guns raised and chests high.

The citizens of the streets watched the two armies with curiosity and cheered loudly, and the people's hearts were greatly stabilized, and the nobles and commoners who were about to flee decided not to leave and returned to their homes.

A day later, Ouyang Yu came to Admiral Bonaparte's headquarters, and when she saw Admiral Bonaparte, Admiral Bonaparte was receiving a businessman, an arms dealer.

When Admiral Bonaparte saw Ouyang Yu, he motioned for her to wait aside, and then listened carefully to the introduction of the arms dealer, whose name was Murta Azrael, a multinational military equipment manufacturer with great strength and power, and the chairman of the National Defense Council.

In front of Azrael is placed a half-human-high wooden model, the model is divided into two parts combined, above is a medium turret with a clear angle with a certain arc, the chassis uses coil spring suspension and over-the-top tracks, there are two magic crystal machine guns on both sides of the chassis, and there is a large-caliber short-barreled magic crystal cannon on the right side of the front of the hull, the overall image is very similar to the B1 heavy tank developed by France before World War II.

"Your Excellency General, please see, this is our own tank produced by using the captured Imperial Army Magic Energy Tank, imitated and improved, officially numbered MKI type tank, this tank combines the advantages of the Imperial Army's FT-1 and FT-2 tanks, the armor is thicker and heavier than the FT-1, faster than the FT-2, the turret and hull are protected by armor up to fifty mm thick, the total weight is thirty-seven tons, the maximum forward speed is forty kilometers per hour, the maximum travel is two hundred and ten kilometers, the crew is eight people, the turret above is equipped with a forty mm magic crystal cannon, the fast firing speed is specially designed for the Imperial Army's FT-1 tankThe 70mm Magic Crystal Cannon mounted on the front of the hull can not only destroy the FT-2 tank of the Imperial Army, but also can be used to destroy a solid offensive, and the Magic Crystal machine guns on both sides of the hull can destroy a large number of enemy soldiers. ”

Admiral Bonaparte circled around the tank model several times, stood still, pointed to the model and said excitedly: "This is the weapon I need!"

"No weapon is a panacea. ”

Ouyang Yu, who was standing on the side, complained with words that he could hear, and boasted to Azrael about the MKI tank, in her opinion, it was the same thing, the coalition forces had no air supremacy, and no matter how good the MKI tank was on the battlefield, it was just a pile of scrap metal, but in all fairness, compared with the two tanks of the Imperial Army, the MKI magic tank did have an overwhelming advantage, and it also had the power to fight with her T-35 tank.

Azrael was clearly prepared, and after showing the model to Admiral Bonaparte, he immediately led him to the outside of the headquarters, where forty-two MKI tanks were neatly parked outside, and at the same time, twelve crew members were also standing in front of the tanks, ready to be inspected by Admiral Bonaparte.
