Chapter 716: One Voice
"Within the Coalition, all you need is one voice."
In this battle, a general who is qualified to lead tens of thousands of his country's troops on an expedition is naturally impossible to be a rookie.
Every commander here is a veteran.
Therefore, after realizing that their side was completely at a disadvantage, they quickly brought up a problem that they had chosen to ignore before.
The Combined Alien Army, which is made up of armies of multiple Exotic players, is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
If each player were to send 100,000 troops, they would have to weigh it up, because it wasn't a small number, let alone the supply of 100,000 troops.
But if it's only twenty or thirty thousand, players in the silver rank can basically do it easily.
At the same time, even if each player only transfers 20,000 or 30,000 troops, as long as the number of players involved is large, it can easily form a huge army.
The ability to easily assemble a large army without putting pressure on the participating players is an advantage of the Combine.
But relatively, the disadvantage is also in this regard.
These come from different players' armies, and the quality of the soldiers is inevitably uneven.
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is that the soldiers of each faction basically only listen to the orders of their own generals, which makes multiple voices appear in the entire coalition army.
Even during the pre-war discussions, everyone discussed and worked out the tactics.
But everyone knows that it is one thing to formulate tactics, and it is another thing to really fight.
On the battlefield, in the end, you still have to rely on improvisation.
And now, the problem is that one person has one idea, and ten people have ten ideas!
There are so many commanders in this coalition army, and when it really comes to the point where they need to improvise, it is obviously impossible for everyone's ideas to really fit together.
When the time comes, you can imagine how chaotic the scene will be.
There may even be situations where they get in the way of each other.
To some extent, this is actually a big taboo, and it is a very serious problem.
As for why these veterans selectively ignored this question before, the answer is actually not complicated.
That is, within the Coalition Army, if only one voice is needed, then who is that voice?
And the officers of the other camps will be willing to hand over the military power in their hands to the other side?
As it turned out, when these veterans first asked themselves, they all chose to be unwilling.
After all, handing over the military power of tens of thousands of troops in his hands to the other party, in case something happens, it will cause the soldiers under his command to be miserable at any time.
When the time comes, how will I explain when I go back?
At that time, every veteran realized this in advance, and at that time, their combined army also had a great advantage, and it seemed that there was no need to forcibly integrate, which led to everyone's selective ignorance quite tacitly.
Now, face this problem again.
This time is different from before, and everyone tacitly agreed before.
And now, someone said it directly in front of everyone, which made it impossible for everyone to continue to play stupid.
For a while, the scene fell directly into a long silence, and even the atmosphere became subtle. new
On the one hand, it is because they all know now that at this point, it will be too late to integrate military power.
On the other hand, it is how to integrate, who will command, how to prove that the person is capable of surpassing them, qualified to command an entire coalition army, and can put their lives and tens of thousands of soldiers in the hands of the other party.
I don't know, no one knows!
Thinking of this, the eyes of the foreign commanders were focused on the commander who had spoken before.
It's not that everyone thinks he's qualified to lead the whole army, but because he brought up the topic.
Since it's you who put it
This topic is said, so come to think of it, you should have some ideas in your heart.
Feeling the gaze of everyone, the foreign commander did not panic, it seemed that he did have some ideas.
I saw him take a deep breath first, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone is a veteran of the battlefield, and no one is worse than anyone else. But the problem now is that we have to choose a commander who can lead the whole army and control the overall situation, so that with our current strength, we can still have the strength to fight. But if we continue to be as we are, then we will definitely lose!"
For these words, all the foreign commanders subconsciously nodded, obviously, everyone actually agreed, but the point is how to choose.
In this regard, I only heard the foreign commander speak again: "Before I say anything, I will ask a question first, and I hope you will answer it truthfully."
Faced with this situation, several other foreign commanders, after exchanging glances with each other, spoke one after another, "General, please ask."
"Okay. Then the question I have to ask is, among the generals present, who can pat their chests and promise that they have a strategy to repel the Dark Elf army and the combined Europa army, and as long as they can command the whole army, they will be able to turn the situation around?"
This question was asked so much that the foreign commanders looked at each other.
Who can have such a strategy? Or who can pat their chests and make such a guarantee now?
Not to mention now, not before.
You know, it's not a soft persimmon on the other side, but the main army of Eric Mountton!
Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and they have already felt it during this time.
Who can say that kind of thing now?
Looking at the silent crowd, the foreign commander who asked the question suddenly knew in his heart, so he spoke again.
"If there is, then I am willing to support him to become the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army, but now, none of us are sure of that, and now there is no other way. In this case, everyone votes, but you can't vote for yourself, you can only vote for others, and the one with the highest number of votes will be the commander. How?"
Hearing this, a hint of subtlety suddenly appeared on the faces of the foreign commanders.
This approach, to be honest, is somewhat arbitrary.
But when they think about it, they can't seem to think of a better way to do it now.
There was no choice, and it was settled.
The whole voting process didn't make people entangled for too long, it has reached this point, and this group of veterans has nothing to worry about when they can't vote for themselves.
After confirming that all the names were written, there was no need to throw any ballot boxes, and everyone just opened them together.
The results were clear, and Chelsea Winslet, the Franc Commander who proposed the vote, received three votes, which was also the highest number of votes.
This may seem like an accident, but it is actually inevitable.
The fact that the other party can stand up and talk about this problem in this situation is enough to prove a lot.
After the official decision on the choice of the commander-in-chief, they did not immediately hold a combat meeting, probably because after finally having a direction, the whole person relaxed, and the foreign commanders only felt that the fatigue that had accumulated before suddenly broke out, and they needed to rest first.
As for the operational meeting, it can only be held later.
On the other side, the Dark Elves and the Europa Coalition are also in a state of recuperation.
During this period, Vegeta also confirmed the information outside the continent.
After all, unlike human civilization, the elven civilization basically has no technological development, so the means of communication can be said to be quite backward, and if the harpy is allowed to communicate, it will take a long time to come down.
Now being able to get information from the mouth of the Europa Coalition can be said to save Vegeta a lot of things.
However, after listening to the whole situation outside, it was confirmed that their territory had suffered
Vegeta, who was attacked by the Huaxia army, suddenly turned a bad look.
Now, it has become Vegeta's top priority to quickly deal with the foreign coalition army in front of him, and then rush back to help.
And just as he was thinking this, a harpy banshee who was out on a reconnaissance mission flapped her wings and landed quickly.
"Report to the general, it has been confirmed that after the enemy troops withdrew from the battlefield, they directly withdrew to the rear fortress and settled down."
Vegeta, who confirmed this information, didn't have much thought, and defensive structures such as fortresses were almost useless in front of their Hydra.
Not to mention the fortress, which had been reduced to rubble by all the surrounding trenches after the earlier battle.
And in a short period of time, it is completely impossible for the foreign coalition army to repair the trenches that have been destroyed to that extent.
"Generals, I'm going to attack in three days."
Hearing this, the Europa commanders all nodded in agreement after a short period of thought.
The Alien Coalition had suffered a major defeat because of their support before, and morale must have been low at this time, and it was a good time to launch an offensive.
Moreover, this time, they also want to fight quickly.
Not to mention, the strategic unit of Hydra is in front of them, and with the troops they brought over this time, it is not difficult to destroy that foreign united army.
With this in mind, the generals of the Europa Alliance can be said to hit it off.
I don't know if it's an accidental coincidence, but on the third day, when the army of dark elves and the army of Europa officially set off, the harpy who was in charge of keeping an eye on the fortress flew back again, and brought urgent information, and the foreign united army evacuated from the fortress.
The moment she learned of this information, Vegeta's heart suddenly panicked.
This time, once the combined forces of foreign countries are allowed to escape, it will take time to destroy them.
Vegeta, who had already learned of the accident in the rear, naturally didn't want to continue to delay on this continent, and their position at this time was actually less than a day's journey from that fortress.
In order to prevent the combined forces from escaping, Vegeta and the Europa commanders began a rapid march after a brief discussion.
This time, he can directly use the military vehicles of human civilization to gain faster movement speed, and he can catch up with the foreign united army before it completely escapes!
Armed with human military vehicles, the Dark Elves and the Europa Coalition quickly approached the ruined fortress.
After they approached, the fortress that looked like a ruin from a distance, there was no movement, and combined with the information that the Harpy had brought them before, it was obvious that the building was empty.
"General Vegeta, do you want to go in and have a look at this fortress?"
Sitting in a military transport vehicle, Vegeta, who heard this, frowned, now is the critical moment of the pursuit, if you stop the pursuit at this time and enter the fortress to search, it will inevitably greatly slow down the efficiency of the entire pursuit.
However, if you don't look at it like this, you can't go straight to the past, and it's inevitable that you're a little careless.
Thinking of this, Vegeta then spoke, "Generals, just in case, it is better to send 3,000 troops into the fortress to investigate the situation, and the rest will follow the large army to continue the pursuit. How?"
Vegeta's proposal was endorsed by a group of Europa commanders.
The advancing army didn't even need to stop, and after an order was passed down, as soon as it passed through the fortress, the three thousand troops had already separated and began to penetrate deep into the fortress.
Since the foreign alliance army was stationed here before, many areas of the fortress have been cleared, and now this Europa force separated from the main army has not been hindered from entering.
Three thousand Europa soldiers, directly dispersed into small teams, searched an entire fortress.
But this fortress, except
Outside of themselves, it can be said that they can't even see a single figure at a glance, and looking at this situation, the foreign united army is probably already evacuated.
On the other side, Vegeta and the Europa Coalition are still chasing after the foreign coalition army, and the Harpy Banshee is always helping them lock their direction from the air, and it is basically impossible for the other party to escape!
In the process of evacuation, the foreign united army did not follow the main road, but directly deviated from the main road and fled towards the field.
Because most of their transportation vehicles were forcibly destroyed by Hydra in the previous battle, if you take the main road, the Dark Elf army and the Europa Combine Army chasing behind will definitely chase faster!
While chasing and fleeing, under the guidance of the harpy, looking at the large lush forest in front of him, Vegeta and a group of Europa commanders tacitly signaled the army under their command to stop advancing.
"What's going on in this forest?"
In the face of Vegeta's questioning, the harpy flying on the side quickly replied, "Report to the general, in this forest, the branches and foliage of the trees are too luxuriant, and we can't see the situation inside when we are flying in the air. Once the altitude is lowered, it will enter the enemy's attack range, and it will not be possible to detect it at all."
This answer directly made Vegeta's face even more solemn.
Woodlands are the most vulnerable to ambushes.
Therefore, in the process of marching and fighting, there is a saying that "every forest does not enter".
The same is true of the forest in front of us today.
At this time, Vegeta also had a lot of thoughts flashing through his mind.
In his previous battles with the Combined Alien Army, he had seen the napalm of human civilization, and the Combined Europa Army also had this weapon.
How about directly using that human weapon to burn down the huge forest in front of you?
Unlike other elves, their dark elves don't have much affection and attachment to the forest and nature, so they don't have any mental burden when they start to do it.
Vegeta soon shared the idea with several other Europa commanders.
Several other Europa commanders also agreed.
This process did not take much time, and a large number of napalm, as if they did not need money, were thrown towards the forest not far away.
At the moment of the explosion, the terrifying fire that spread out suddenly swept everything!
The terrifying heat, even from such a distance, Vegeta could clearly feel it, which made his feelings even more complicated.
The experience of this period of time made this arrogant dark elf realize that human civilization is really not to be underestimated.
