Oasis No. 3.

The atmosphere in the front-line command post was solemn.

The officers gathered around a strategic map full of reticulated lines, silent, and their faces were full of solemnity.

A week earlier, under the command of General Griffin and under the desperate cover of the Falcon Kingdom's 1st and 20,000 teams, they had successfully retreated to Oasis 3 before the Alliance's armored forces cut off the rear route.

Although they have an absolute numerical advantage in the regroup, the situation in front of them is still not optimistic.

General Griffin looked solemn, stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly spoke.

"How long will it be before reinforcements from the west of the Great Desert arrive?"

Hearing General Griffin's voice, the adjutant standing aside hurriedly spoke.

"At least forty-five days!"

Forty-five days......

Griffin frowned, and the officers standing next to him also looked at each other, exchanging solemnity in each other's expressions, but no one spoke.

Because they can't think of any good way.

The more than 100,000 clone troops currently deployed on the front line were reinforcements who set off from the west of the Great Desert two months ago, and as soon as they arrived in the Falcon Kingdom, they were pulled to the front line before they could be reorganized.

In fact, this was not Griffin's original plan, but a last resort strategy to deter the coalition and prevent the coalition from continuing its offensive.

Originally, according to his plan, these 100,000 teams were prepared to rotate the Falcon Kingdom's Hu Cong Army.

After conquering the Lion Kingdom, the Falcon Kingdom's Hu Servant Army will quickly shift from an offensive posture to a defensive posture, resting on the spot while maintaining order in the occupied area, while the task of attacking will be carried out by the Clone Regiment.

This will not only consolidate the Legion's war achievements in Luoxia Province, but also ensure the continuous power of the war machine, not giving the inhabitants of the desert any respite, and sweeping the entire Luoxia Province as quickly as possible before they complete their mobilization.

At that time, even if the enterprise and the Great Rift Valley have the intention to stop it, they will not have the ability to change the fait accompli that Luoxia Province has been controlled by the legion.

And seeing the results of the war, the commander of the Eastern Army will also give them more military and political support.

Griffin's series of military deployments in Luoxia Province were all carried out around this strategic policy of "blitzkrieg".

As long as you knock your opponent down before they can react, you won't encounter much resistance.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the rotating reinforcements could arrive in time, he adopted a rather radical reinforcement strategy, allowing the 100,000 men to march lightly before the supply departed, and directly replenish on the spot after arriving in the Falcon Kingdom.

Therefore, these 10,000 troops carried only one base unit of ammunition.

In fact, if "Operation Thunder" goes well, the amount of ammunition in this one base unit is absolutely sufficient.

The problem, however, is that far from going as smoothly as expected, the plan far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Not only did they fail to capture the Fertile City within the expected time, but they even lost half of the country that Oasis 9 had already occupied, as well as almost all the ammunition depots that had been transferred to the occupied area.

In addition, the supply line in the north was cut off, making their supply situation even worse, and 100,000 people picked up their rifles and went to the front line, except for the magazines in their backpacks, they didn't see a single bullet.

In the final analysis, their vassal is only an agricultural country, and even if they carry out military reforms, they cannot change the fact that the pillar industry is agriculture.

Even if the skilled craftsmen there had smoked the punch, it would not have been possible to solve the ammunition gap of the 100,000-strong troops in a short time.

Relying only on the ammunition of one base unit, no matter how much you save, it is enough to sustain the consumption of two battles at most.

In the third game, it was difficult for two or even three people to share a rifle.

The clones are just not afraid of death, not that they will not die, and they can't really be allowed to rush the alliance's machine gun positions with bayonets.

Not to mention 100,000 people.

As long as the logistics of the alliance continue, even another million will not be enough!

At the moment, there is only one realistic way left, and that is to wait for the ammunition to arrive from the rear.

After staring at the map for a long time, Griffin spoke slowly.

“…… The commander on the other side is not a straw bag, and it will be difficult for us to fool them for too long. That ultimatum would buy us a maximum of thirty days, and that's the most optimistic scenario. If the situation is not optimistic, I'm afraid three weeks is enough time. ”

The officers whispered.

Three weeks!

Even if the supplies were to be delivered and immediately flew to the front-line soldiers, it would take forty-five days!

That's not enough time!

"If they find out we're bluffing, they're going to test our defenses, and if they find out that we're really out of trouble with our supplies, we're going to be in a worse position than we were a week ago."

Once Oasis 3 is lost.

Their stronghold in Luoxia Province is only the Falcon Kingdom.

To make matters worse, once the survivors were given confidence and the golden lizard and Hump realized that they were already a foreign powerhouse, their army would not honestly stay on the border and continue to sit-in, but would come up and take advantage of the fire to take a sip of soup.

Griffin paused for a moment and continued in an emphatic tone.

"Thirty days! Thirty days later, our first line of defense will need to be delayed for at least another fifteen days, and then gradually retreat to the middle of Oasis 3......"

"The most conservative estimate is that by that time we should have more than 70,000 troops left. But as long as we can hold out until then, when our main forces finish resupplying, their spearheads that penetrate deep into our hinterland will immediately turn into minced meat in pies! ”

At this, a hint of fierceness flashed across General Griffin's face, and he clenched his fists resting on the command table.

"I'll let him spit out what he eats, and there's nothing left!"

As for the Ironheart, he didn't specifically mention it.

That's not something that conventional weapons can deal with at all, no matter how much you plan, it's useless, anyway, it's impossible for the airship to come down and occupy the ground facilities, dig the trench and let it blow up, the biggest advantage of the clone is that it's worthless.

McLalen knew what to do with it, but the guy had already died in the nuclear explosion.

But it doesn't matter.

He'd already reported the loss of the airship, and the weapons against that guy would be sent from the rear along with the ammunition needed by the clones.

A single airship can't change the outcome of the battle, as long as his army of clones resupplies, everything will be fine!

After listening to General Griffin's plan, the officers exchanged glances with each other and whispered to each other.

At that moment, an officer suddenly spoke.

"General, if that ultimatum doesn't get us thirty days...... What if you don't even get it for three weeks? ”

There was silence in the tent.

The silence lasted for five minutes.

It wasn't until General Griffin spoke again that the silence was broken.

"This is the worst-case scenario."

"If we don't win it for even three weeks, we can only abandon Oasis 3 and shrink the front to Oasis 2."

But when it comes to that, he will destroy everything that can be destroyed in Oasis 3 before evacuating, leaving a mess for those people to headache.

Hundreds of thousands of hungry people should be enough to hold the League back.

It's just that if you do this, you will have to lose one share of the final loot......

......

The Griffin's operational meeting was followed by a meeting of various departments and formations to convey to the middle and senior officers the strategic deployment of their respective combat units.

After the adjournment of the meeting.

Colway left the conference room and didn't linger too long, instead heading straight back to his tent.

Originally, he would not have been able to attend such a meeting with his rank and rank, but a series of recent events have changed the situation.

First, General McLaan died, and he, who originally belonged to General McLene's line, was taken into Griffin's account along with other officers. Coupled with the recent shortage of junior officers, he was quickly promoted to the rear for training duties.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and the pangolin was seen sitting at the table eating the sea.

The amount of food eaten by the Awakened is not ordinarily large, and the amount of food of this guy is even more than that of the average Awakened, and he eats with his belly open, and he can't wait to swallow half a calf in one meal.

Fortunately, the lack of supplies for the legion is only ammunition, not food, otherwise this guy's food alone would be enough to be hated.

"I really envy your appetite, I haven't eaten anything for the past two days."

Throwing the officer's hat on the hanger, Colway walked over to the table and sat down, glanced at the pile of bones on the plate, and couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Boy.

Twenty kilograms of meat, to say the least.

The battlefield guy hiccuped and smiled nonchalantly.

"Problems on the battlefield will eventually be solved on the battlefield, so why bother to be sad outside the battlefield?"

You can't win anyway.

It's better to be happy.

Having already learned about the battle plan that the Springwater dude and the mole had discussed, he had no doubt about it.

However, Colway didn't hear the deep meaning of the second half of the sentence, just glanced at him enviously, and said in a rather emotional tone.

"If only I could be half as optimistic as you."

The Warfield asked casually.

"Did you get something bothered?"

Colway said.

"It's still a matter of supplies, and now the front line is short of everything but food...... I don't think I should say that, but it doesn't matter, it's not a secret anyway. ”

The Warfield shrugged.

It's really no secret.

They had already discussed a few rounds on the forum yesterday, and Brother Quanshui and a group of military fans were arguing about how these 10,000 troops had enough ammunition to fight a few battles.

However, no matter how many, everyone agreed that there would be no more than five battles at most.

The only thing to watch out for is that they may concentrate the ammunition of several 10,000 troops into one team, withdraw the personnel to the rear and wait for supplies, disguised as if they are well supplied.

"Let's be happy, General Griffin promoted me to the rank of One-Star Commander."

The Warfield looked at him in surprise, then said with a smile.

"Congratulations!"

Colway smiled.

"Congratulations too."

"Me?"

"Yes," Colway nodded, and continued, "I'm not the only one who gets promoted, you're a centurion from now on. ”

The battlefield guy was stunned.

"Didn't I become a commander before?"

Why has the rank been lowered?

As if to see the confusion on his face, Colway explained with a smile.

"When I say the centurion, I'm the centurion of the regular army."

"The commander of the army is only a position, not including military rank, and his status in the corps is even inferior to that of the ten-commander of the regular army. Generally speaking, only the Willantes can serve as officers in the regular army, and there is no precedent for the transformation from a commander to a centurion in the regular army, but now that the situation is urgent, there is no time to worry about these small matters."

What the clone lacks is not only ammunition, but also a large number of junior and mid-level officers.

In order to solve this problem, Griffin had to take a group of young officers trained by the Legion from the officer reserve of the Falcon Kingdom and integrate them into the regular army to fill this vacancy.

Colway did not tell Pangolin that he had been assigned the position of Centurion, but he vouched for him with his honor and promoted him to the position of Centurion.

There aren't many opportunities for this kind of exceptional promotion.

Maybe only once or twice in a lifetime.

His loyalty and bravery deserve the position, such a person should not be wasted as a servant, and Colway is confident that he will not be wrong.

The battlefield guy's face was dazed for a moment, and then his mouth opened involuntarily, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

it!

That's compilation?!

Becoming a centurion means entering the middle ranks of the legion!

Looking at Colway who was looking at him with a smile on his face, the battlefield guy's face was full of surprise and excitement, he pushed away the chair and stood up, stood up and made a military salute, and made an oath in a stumbling but solemn voice.

"I, Pangolin, will live up to your expectations!"

"I'm sure you won't let me down."

Looking at the pangolin, Coleway smiled and nodded, also sincerely happy for him, but quickly retracted his smile.

"However, our good days are almost over, and we have to go to the front early tomorrow morning to take up our posts."

Avenge General McKellen!

At the same time, a shame!

Colway had a strong fighting intent burning in his heart, but he didn't get carried away by it.

He's already suffered a careless loss.

The survivors in the southern part of the valley province were not easy to deal with, they were not the natives he had imagined to be fighting with spears and iron rifles, and they had to be dealt with with a hundred and twenty points of caution.

However, unlike Colway's cautiousness, the Battlefield laughed out loud when he heard the news.

Is the opportunity to make meritorious service finally coming?

For that set of power armor, he has been an undercover agent for a long time!

If you continue to wait, I'm afraid you'll be a thousand-year-old.

"How did it come to this?"

"Good brother, our good days have just begun!"

.......

Dawning City.

Highway Town Inn.

Lisa, holding a basket of clothes, stopped in front of the window of the corridor, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and suddenly sighed faintly.

Although those people didn't tell her what the pangolin did, she could vaguely guess a little from their performance.

He is a man of the Union.

And they are performing very dangerous and dangerous tasks.

I hope he comes back safe and sound...

As soon as she came up the stairs, Li Shuyue happened to see the little girl standing by the window.

"Lisa? What's the matter? ”

Hearing Li Shuyue's voice, Lisa, who was holding the wooden basket, quickly turned around and made a shy smile on her face.

"Ah, you're back...... Your clothes have been dried, I've folded them for you, and I'm bringing them to you.

Dryers are not popular here in the alliance, and most of the clothes and bedding are dried by natural light, Li Shuyue was not used to it at first, but then she slowly got used to it, and even gradually liked this "energy-saving and environmentally friendly" lifestyle.

Clothes that have been sun-dried will have a good smell, and after wearing them, you will feel that the whole portrait is surrounded by warm sunlight, and your mood will also improve.

"Thank you."

Taking the wooden basket with clothes in Lisa's hand, Li Shuyue saw the sorrow hidden in those eyes, and couldn't help but care.

"Are you in any trouble?"

Li Shuyue still has a good impression of this well-behaved, sensible and capable little girl, especially after hearing about her past as a slave of the legion, she was even more distressed and compassionate.

Those beasts are unworthy of being human!

If she could wipe them off the planet, she would even be willing to donate a nuclear bomb out of her own pocket!

If she can't, at least she wants to help someone who can see it.

Looking at Miss Li Shuyue, who was looking at her with concern, Lisa shook her head lightly and said softly.

"It's nothing, miss, I'm not in trouble, I'm just ...... Somewhat worried about him. ”

Li Shuyue: "That pangolin?".

Two blush flashes flew on her face, and Lisa nodded slightly.

Looking at the red face, Li Shuyue didn't know how to comfort the little girl in front of her.

Gently touching the puffy and soft hair, she was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke.

"I've taken care of what I'm here to do."

Lisa's eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you going back to Ideal City?"

Li Shuyue nodded.

"Hmm."

The research report has been completed, and the cooperation plan with several companies in the alliance has also been finalized, and she needs to go back as soon as possible to implement the plan.

Including the recruitment of personnel in the joint venture company, personnel arrangement, determining the source of goods and sales strategy, etc., there are a lot of things waiting for her to deal with.

Lisa looked lonely, but said with a smile anyway.

"I hope to see you again in the future, so welcome to come back."

Li Shuyue was silent for a moment, and finally made up her mind and spoke.

"Have you considered living in a different place?".

I didn't expect her to ask this, Lisa was slightly stunned.

"Somewhere else?"

Li Shuyue nodded.

"Well, it may be a bit abrupt to say this, I happen to lack a life assistant here, and I am quite satisfied with your work attitude and ability...... If you are interested, I can help you apply for a work visa, you go back to Ideal City with me, and I can give you a salary of 5000Cr a month, excluding bonuses and vacation allowances. Of course, it will rise in the future. ”

Lisa looked at her in surprise.

Although she had never been to Ideal City, she had heard from travelers that 1Cr could be exchanged for 3 silver coins.

Fifteen thousand silver coins...

This is almost forty times the monthly salary of an ordinary position, or even fifty times the monthly salary!

She didn't know why this Miss Li Shuyue gave herself such a high salary, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally shook her head gently.

"Thank you for your kindness, but... I don't want to leave here. ”

Hearing this unexpected answer, Li Shuyue was stunned and looked at the little girl in front of her in surprise.

"I don't want to ...... Are you sure? Wait, do you know what the ideal city is? ”

Lisa nodded lightly and said with a smile on her face.

"I've heard of it, it's a wonderful place. I always hear the guests downstairs drinking that it would be nice to be able to go there in my lifetime. ”

Li Shuyue looked at her in a daze.

"That'...... Don't you want to go? ”

Lisa shook her head.

"I'm going to wait here for him to come back...... There are some things I want to tell him personally. ”

Li Shuyue looked at her with tears and laughter.

"He wouldn't be happy if he knew you turned down such a great opportunity...... And when you get a work visa, you can get resident status when you work a standard of hours, and then you can take him with you."

Lisa interrupted her talk to herself.

"Miss, have you seen him?"

Li Shuyue was stunned and shook her head.

"I didn't ...... What's wrong? ”

"Then why do you think he would want to live in your hometown?" Lisa looked at her and blinked.

Li Shuyue was silent for a while.

"Well, I'm really not sure...... Just extrapolating from the general situation, no one does not want to go there. ”

"Right? You're just speculating, too, but maybe not everyone is what you think," Lisa smiled softly as she looked out the window at the moonlight, "not just to wait for him...... I'm already happy to be here. ”

Li Shuyue looked at her seriously and said.

"You've figured it out, it's the only pure land on this planet."

Lisa shook her head slightly.

"For me, this is it."

It was the people here who saved her from hell and told her that there was another life in this world.

As for the ideal city.

Maybe it's really nice there.

But what does it have to do with her?

Li Shuyue didn't persuade again, but in her heart, she overturned the five flavors and miscellaneous, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

She didn't understand, let alone imagine, why someone would refuse such a lucrative offer, and she was rejected twice in a row.

If the guy named Fang Chang refused because of his identity as a shelter resident, she didn't understand it.

After all, each shelter has its own plan, and perhaps there is something more important to him than a good life.

However, Lisa ......

She's just a regular waster, isn't she?

Back to the room.

She was about to put her clothes in her suitcase, when she suddenly saw the notes spread out on the table, and stepped forward and turned on the lamp on the table.

It was an essay she had written a few days earlier, and it had nothing to do with business, just out of curiosity about the human landscape that was so different from the other survivor settlements.

As everyone who has been here has described, the situation here is truly extraordinary.

Locals are confident in the future prospects of Dawning City, and even believe that it will become a more prosperous world than Ideal City.

Because the manager promised.

Only this point, Li Shuyue scoffed, after all, physically speaking, this is unlikely, the birth of the ideal city itself is full of many accidental factors, and the miracle born due to the choice of countless people is irreproducible.

It's a pity that I didn't get to see the manager on this trip to the Alliance.

The next time I visit, it would be nice to have a chance to meet each other.....

........

Official website forum.

Just past the peak of the offline period, the battlefield guy popped up on the forum.

"Hahaha! Brother Moe! Lao Tzu has been promoted! ”

As soon as the post was sent out, it instantly exploded.

Tail: "Whoa! It's amazing! ”

Night Ten: "You were promoted again yesterday?!"

Edge paddling: "Awesome! Now it's the captain? (surprised)"

Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "Ahem, that's not ...... It's a centurion! ”

Quit smoking: ", it dropped yesterday?"

Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "What has fallen!" I used to be a part-time worker, but now I'm a full-time business editor, can it be the same? ”

Night Ten: "Awesome!"

Edge paddling: "666!"

I was the blackest: "Brother, which defense zone are you in charge of?" Do you want my brother to send you a head in two days? (Funny)"

Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "That's a good idea!" The coordinates will be sent to you in a moment! (bared teeth)"

Commander of Spring: "Wait, you're on the front line now?!" How much ammunition do you have? Is there an accurate number?

Canyon on the run mole: "Yes, yes, yes, and anti-tank weapons?" Is there a lot of them? Is it all that "Iron Fist" or is there something else? ”

Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "What's the hurry, Lao Tzu will only leave for the front line tomorrow!" Don't worry, when you go to the front line, I'll help you take a look! ”

Fang Chang: "Brothers who fight artillery on the front line, take it easy, don't raise our pangolins, remember to put a long line to catch big fish." (Funny)"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Roger! (laughs)"

Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "Grass, your sentence "received", Lao Tzu suddenly tightened the chrysanthemum...... Don't mess around! ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "Don't worry! Is Ye that kind of person? ”

Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "Please, be a man first!"

Makabazi: "Hahahaha!"

The forum was full of cheerfulness.

Seeing that his little players fought this cruel war so happily, Chu Guang was also sincerely happy for them.

Earlier today, Izumi had shown him his plan of attack, and if the Legion was in a logistical bind, they could have exhausted the Legion's ammunition by continuing to feint.

When the legion showed signs of fatigue, they concentrated all their armored units and firepower, tore a hole in the legion's defensive line, put the motorized infantry in it and interspersed it with the rear of the legion, and cooperated with the frontal attacking Royal Army, pulling out the legion's positions one by one like pincers to pull out the teeth.

This plan was named Plan No. 3 by the spring.

One hundred and twenty tanks and five Ornithopters were required.

Although the alliance has not had time to put together so many tanks at the moment, the tanks captured in Camp 530 are still in the hands of the Honey Badger Kingdom's Restoration Army.

The frontal armor of the Conqueror X tank was hard enough that the Legion's own Iron Fist Bazooka smashed into it like a tickle.

Just in time to start with these tanks.

As for the Soyuz Tank No. 2, it can be followed as a self-propelled gun, supported by the exaggerated 155mm gun.

Preparations for the offensive are already underway.

The micro-manipulation on the battlefield does not need Chu Guang to worry too much, there are many professionals in this game, and everyone's performance is also very positive, and everyone is vying to show their hands in front of everyone.

Now the only problem is on the corporate side.

Probably hearing the wind from the pilot of the "Killer Whale" transport aircraft, the top of the enterprise learned about the capture of McLaen by the Alliance.

Maybe it's an illusion.

Recently, the news released by Yi Chuan's side, Chu Guang always felt that these friends from the Far East wanted to see each other and accepted it......

1 second to remember:
