Since the strategic decision has been made, the next thing that needs to be done is the tactical deployment, at this point, there is nothing to do with Jonas, after all, they know very little about tactics, and the physical discomfort also makes him need to rest as soon as possible, so after everyone agreed, he withdrew from the conference room, went to his villa in Meiringen, and rested in peace, and the leadership of the military meeting was handed over to Octo.

In this regard, Octo is naturally happy, although Jonas persuaded everyone to let them agree with his idea, which made Octo very happy, but for Jonas in the crowd of strong influence, Octor is still a little jealous in addition to satisfaction, and now Jonas automatically withdrew, handing over the stage to himself, this is really no better thing, so he warmly sent Jonas back to the villa he arranged for him to rest.

In the next two days, Jonas was recuperating in this new home, and Octor was also very intimate and did not come to Jonas, but handed over the current battle situation to Jonas and let him see, for this kind of life, Jonas was still very satisfied, looking at the battle report sent by the guards today, Jonas looked very carefully, where he lives now, it is too close to Bern, as long as Petain has any moves, it must be achieved by doing his homework on Melingen, because the current Melingen is the center of the entire Susa army, if you want to achieve an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, it is perfect to attack here。

And Jonas is here now, naturally he has to know enough about the battle situation, and it is convenient for him to leave here quickly when the battle situation is unfavorable, but it seems that his worries are unnecessary, after Octor decided to continue the grand strategy of the offensive in the combat meeting two days ago, he began a series of offensive plans, the first of which is the attack on Geneva, the fourth largest city in Savoy.

This is the center of France connecting Savoy, if it is captured, then the French army will no longer be able to enter Savoy from French territory, and the situation will be completely reversed, the French army led by Marshal Petain will become a group of trapped beasts, and the combined army of Susa and Savoy will become a cage, lock them in it, and finally starve them to death here.

But this is just the most ideal state, Octor knows the importance of Geneva, how could Marshal Petain not know, for such a place where soldiers must fight, Marshal Petain after learning the lessons of the Bernina Pass, is simply a strict defense here, arranged like an iron bucket, Octo's army wants to take here, it is simply an impossible thing, but in this regard, Octor is not very worried, after all, he does not really want to take here, with the army that has been accumulated with great difficulty and France has a steady stream of reinforcements to fight a war of attrition, this is really not a wise choice, the reason why he wants to attack here, just to divert the attention of the French army.

Yes, Geneva is very important to Petain, and for Octo, he is also very important, because this is a transportation hub, only this place can allow the French army to enter Savoy, and because of this, if Octor wants to attack here, Marshal Petain will send troops here in case of accidents, this is Petain's marshal, even if the defenders of Geneva have 10,000 people, and the troops of Octor besieging the city are only 12,000 people, Petain will still send a force of 5,000 people to garrison the side, he is such a cautious person, for any place where accidents may occur, he will be carefully deployed, in order to be absolutely safe。

This is the reason that Octor and Pétain have been fighting continuously for nearly a month, and Octotor has also taken advantage of Petain's tactical deployment to concentrate a part of his army near Geneva, most of which use the local army of Savoy, they are all improvised soldiers, numerous, but their combat ability is lower than that of regular soldiers, not to mention compared with the soldiers in the Susa area who have undergone formal militarized training and are completely out of production.

The army of the Duchy of Susa was stationed in Schwyz, northeast of Savoy, which is only about 150 kilometers away from Zurich, the second largest city in Savoy, very close, but surrounded by mountains, even if Marshal Petain sent scouts to search, it is difficult to find them in the mountains, and the real target of Octor is the city of Zurich.

If Marshal Petain's army was replenished from France through the center of Geneva, then the main component of Octopor's army was now composed of the native people of Savoy, and now all the liberated cities have been armed and turned into armies, if the number of liberated cities is not continued to expand, then Octor will soon fall into a situation where the number of French troops will be more and more than his own, which is why he insists on fighting, because he knows that as long as France has absolutely suppressed them, it will not be so easy to change the situation at that time。

So he wants to continue to fight, and the purpose of the war is to control the number of the two armies not to be too different, as for the French out of Savoy, that is only the highest purpose, from the current point of view, this is impossible, and to keep the number of the two armies consistent, there are two ways, that is, either open source their own sources, or throttle the other side, the first of which is to continue to capture more cities, and the latter is to attack Geneva, so that the other side can no longer be replenished, in general, these are the two methods.

But in Octo's view, the second method obviously doesn't work, Petain is not stupid, for his own lifeline, his protection is unprecedented, because he knows very well that the loss of Zurich will only put the French army in a strategic dilemma, and if Geneva is lost, it will put the French army in a desperate situation, and Octor knows that a person who is still alive must not let him fall into a desperate situation, because such a person is too dangerous.

Octor didn't want Marshal Petain to become a madman, that would make the whole Savoy chaotic, what he needed was a sane opponent, carefully weigh the changes of each piece on the chessboard, so as to come to a judgment that he should not continue to attack, this is the result that Octor needs, and it is also the reason why he chose to open up the source for himself, because only his own strength will make Petain jealous, and cutting off Petain's army supply line will make Petain crazy, and the two are not the same.

In the following two days, Octain began to mobilize his army, and began to move the army as planned, and then this morning, the first round of attacks began to break out in Geneva, and then Marshal Petain did as Octor guessed, mobilized an army from various places and arrived near Geneva, the number was not known, but it was expected to be about five thousand to seven thousand, which is equivalent to about one-fifth of the current French army in the whole of Savoy, which can be said to be a huge number, and Octo's army bound for Zurich also began to attack.

The war lasted for four days, during which the losses of the Savoy army were very heavy, a total of 12,000 troops, as many as 3,000 casualties, such heavy casualties even Aucto himself did not expect, and finally sent 5,000 Savoy soldiers into the Geneva theater of operations, which did not make the entire battle of Geneva fall into a collapsed situation, but the situation began to tilt to the side of Marshal Petain, and the death toll began to be violently killed, which was obviously a not good signal for Octot.

On the side of Zurich, the sacrifice of the Susa army was also not small, although most of the defenders of Zurich entered Geneva to help defend, or entered Bern for Marshal Petain to be deployed at will, but after all, there were 2,000 people in this big city as a defense, and 14,000 Susa soldiers were obviously not enough for the city, and in the end Auctor could only send 3,000 Susa soldiers around him, which could be regarded as taking Zurich, the second largest city in Savoy, with a population of nearly 60,000, and Petain took advantage of the lack of troops in Acto, and pressed 18,000 French troops directly to MeiringenAt this time, the army in the city of Meiringen consisted of only 2,400 Susa soldiers and 2,000 Savoy soldiers, and in the face of an enemy four times his own, Meiringen was suddenly in crisis.

At this time, Jonas stayed, he could have left, Octor even planned to let him go, but Jonas himself stayed, as for the reason, Jonas couldn't say why, but he felt that leaving at this time might be more troublesome for him.

In the face of the besieged situation, Auctor continued to command the battle on the front line, he immediately ordered the army that captured Zurich to leave only a small number of men and horses to garrison Zurich and carry out the task of arming the citizens, and most of the army immediately launched an attack on Bern, besieging Wei to save Zhao, this is obviously a risky move, Jonas did not think that it would be effective, but what they can do now is only this, in addition, Octor also asked the troops in Geneva to immediately withdraw from the defensive line and move to the perimeter of Meiringen, but this order was not fully implemented, and the defenders of Geneva, after Petain attacked Meiringen, shifted from a defensive position to an offensive, began a fierce attack on the Savoy army, pulling the entire army of more than 10,000 people into the quagmire, not moving at all, as long as it withdrew, it was bound to be a big hole by the pursuing army, in this regard, the commander of the Savoy army could only hold the position, after receiving the battle report, Auctor did not sleep all night, at two o'clock in the morning, all the commanders and Jonas were called, and an emergency military meeting was called.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you also know the purpose of this summoning of you, we are besieged here, the enemy army outside is close to 20,000, and our defenders are only about 4,000 people, this is not the biggest crisis, the main thing is that the army in Geneva has also been unable to move, if we lose Meiringen, then the army in Geneva will be completely encircled, and Zurich, which has just been taken, will also be cut off from us, everyone, this is our current situation, what do you think, just say it. ”

Octo's face was very dark, obviously, Meiringen would now fall into the current crisis, he needed to bear a large part of the responsibility, and Octor obviously knew this, he was quite confident in his own command, but he was subverted by Petain three or two today, which obviously gave Octor a big blow, so that he couldn't stand it a little, Jonas saw it in his eyes, and could only sigh.

If Jung is here at this time, his combat methods are compared to Octoto, Jonas can be sure, and it will definitely not be much better, after all, the resources they can use are very limited, and with such small resources, if they want to win such a big cake, it is fundamentally very risky, and their opponent is Petain, a fighting genius called Marshal by the French, in the face of his onslaught, whether it is Octor or Jung, they will be deceived.

Yes, they were deceived, Octor carefully observed Petain's combat strategy, and finally judged that Petain was actually a stable person, but in fact Petain was not a stable person, and the steady image was just what Petain wanted to show Octo, and the reason why Jonas was so sure was because Petain dared to put all his troops on the line of Meiringen, you know, Petain's current army, according to Jonas's judgment, the entire Bern is at most more than 20,000 people, and now 18,000 people are coming to besiege Meiringen, that is to say, only 2,000 people are left to defend in Bern, which has to be said to be a huge gambleAs long as he loses, then Petain will lose not only Zurich, but also Berne, so that all the three major cities will be captured by Susa, and Petain's plan to continue to make waves in Savoy will be completely frustrated, which is definitely a huge adventure for him.

And since Petain dared to take this risk, how could he still be a stable person, Jonas was the first to disbelieve it, and for Marshal Petain's incorrect judgment of his character, he had to bear the pressure of the birth of this mistake at this moment, looking at everyone, Jonas took the lead in saying: " Ladies and gentlemen, we have to defend with all our might, and our army in Zurich has already arrived in Bern and is now under attack, as long as we hold on to Meiringen and wait for the Franz knights to take Bern, our chance of victory is imminent. ”

Jonas's words made the only few people in the conference room start to talk, the number of ordinary soldiers in France is almost the same as them, but the number of knights is three times that of them, and now these knights, most of them are concentrated outside Meiringen, fighting completely at all costs, from yesterday until now, the defenders of Meiringen have lost about a thousand people, such a rate of consumption is too fast, Octor even had to let the people of the city join, this is barely able to maintain the situation of the battle, according to his judgment, if Bern has not been captured in three days, then Meiringen will definitely fall。
