Chapter 11: The Outbreak of the Nilesian Wars

Over the next half month, the expeditionary forces of the Russian Gothic Empire marched thousands of kilometers from Syria to Israel, from Israel to Nicoleia, and reached their destination after a thousand kilometers. It's a bit ...... to say though. That's something, but for the army of the Russian Gothic Empire, it was commonplace.
As an army, long-distance marching is one of the most important training subjects, and if you can't march long distances while carrying a weight of tens of kilograms, then you can't be called a qualified soldier.
Of course, of course, although to be honest in this case such a choice was made. But for the Russian Gothic Empire, the army, which had such a means of transport as trains, was already convenient, convenient and easy I don't know how much.
If this section of the journey had to be walked down by manpower, the distance of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers would not make these soldiers tired and half dead. The number of non-combat attrition will never be as low as it is now, only a few dozen. It's hundreds or more. The physical strength and morale consumed by the emperor ** team must be unimaginable.
"So, trains are really a good thing. After arriving in Nigeria, William still couldn't help but sigh.
Uh-huh, yes, yes, yes.
In addition to being able to travel, to be fast, and to allow soldiers to save physical strength, boost morale, and so on, trains have another pleasant effect, and that is the suddenness of war.
Originally, those Visigoths thought they had been stabbed deep in the softest abdomen of the Russian Gothic Empire.
It's like a huge, but slow-moving giant. Although the empire was heartbroken after this, it was unable to send a large army to attack in the first place.
Especially when their main forces are still in that unlucky place in Indy.
According to the Visigoths, they had at least three months to half a year to prepare. And this time was enough for them to take control of the whole of Nirosia and make a good living.
In this case, the army of the Russian Gothic Empire, in the face of the Visigothic troops that had already been prepared, had formed enough local troops, and at the same time had a foundation, could never have a second possibility except for defeat.
Wait for work. This buff should be known even to a layman who doesn't know much about military affairs.
This thought went from General Leopold downwards, and all the generals and soldiers under his command thought so.
In this premise and background, it is no wonder that these guys are so surprised and unbelievable.
In only half a month, they haven't even completed the full occupation of Silosis, and they are about to confront the best ruler and commander in the world?
Come to think of it, it's a terrible thing to think about.
Even the most optimistic soldier or officer could not show that he had an advantage in the face of William.
The ruler of the Gothic Empire in Russia, the world's finest commander, Wilhelm von Hereford's fame is so well known.
They just heard William's name, and before they really played against William, they felt terribly scared.
"That's not going to work. If the morale of our army is gone, then why should we fight each other?"
The officers gathered in front of General Leopold and discussed the issue with him: "So, if we can't defeat each other, then our whole Nirosian strategy will fail."
If we messed up the errand, then ......"
The thought of this possibility made the officers look at each other and sweat - yes, they all came to the fore in this "revolutionary government".
They naturally understand the true meaning of this so-called revolution.
Those who yesterday were the so-called heroes of the revolution, the heroes and fathers of the merit, may be ousted the next day because of some things, even trivial things.
If it's just ousted, forget it.
But the so-called revolutionary government is the best embodiment of the extreme. Either/or, black and white.
If you're not a revolutionary, then you can't get a "neutral" hat and then hide to the side and there's nothing to do, it's easy - you're going to be *** scum.
And the result of becoming the scum of *** is usually not too good......
That's it. Thinking that he is likely to be defeated because of this war, not only will he not be able to continue to be promoted and make a fortune, but he will also lose everything because of the defeat, so that he and his family will all become *** elements and be sent to the guillotine......
At the thought of this possibility, the correct officers, who had previously thought that they had been chosen for this task with incomparably wise wisdom, showed a frustrated, uneasy face.
If that happens, they might still feel like they're dead.
"Don't worry, it's not that bad!"
Looking at the people around him who were already panicking, General Leopold stabilized his mind and said-
In reality, though, he himself was terrified - it was Wilhelm, it was Wilhelm, it was Wilhelm von Hereford. The best commander in the world. This title is not something that you boast about or who canonized it. Rather, William was then recognized through numerous wars.
He is the common goal of all military strategists, all generals and all commanders of this era. Represents the commander of this era, the highest level of army combat.
Although before this, the general Leopold had some ambition in his heart, and there was also a little thought: "I'm going to fight this guy next, I want to defeat him, and then make a name for myself."
But that was all in my heart when I didn't play against William and didn't have contact with William.
At this moment, William really appeared in front of him. Seeing that he was about to lead the best, strongest, and most terrifying army under his command to appear in front of him, and then kill himself and everyone under his command......
The thought of this possibility made General Leopold's heart tremble.
But-
No, I can't.
Absolutely not.
Officers, and perhaps soldiers, almost all of them have become this virtue in a panic. But if he, the commander-in-chief, is also panicked to this extent, then there is no way to continue this war.
Without fighting, he failed.
Therefore, no matter what, it is necessary to hold on, no matter what, to stabilize the morale of his army before the army of the Russian Gothic Empire comes, and to eliminate the threat of the Russian Gothic Empire and the fear that William brings.
Only after that will he be able to lead his army out of the silver lining......
Although this is said to be alive or something, it is actually not too big. In fact, many are likely to fail, but - in any case, nine deaths are much better than ten deaths!
In the face of crisis and pressure, General Leopold showed his extraordinary talent for the first time.
"The Russian Gothic Empire was very strong, and so was Wilhelm von Hereford -- but don't you see, this is our chance, my friends, this is our chance! If we can beat Wilhelm von Hereford, we'll be able to make a name for ourselves -- even if we take a step back and say, yes, we're very likely to lose. But how to lose is also exquisite.
If we are like garbage, then the whole world will think that we are garbage. We no longer have the capital and possibility to make a comeback.
But if we are tenacious and hardworking, then even if we lose and surrender, the emperor will definitely give us a decent enough treatment. We even have the potential to get some new opportunities......"
Although the general did not say it as satisfactorily, the generals and officers around him breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, there are quite a few people who think that what the general said makes sense. What they fear most now is not that General Leopold wants to surrender.
What they are most afraid of now is that General Leopold is still hesitating, and even saying that this guy is completely confused about the situation, and very boldly declares that he is going to have a showdown with William von Hereford, and then fight William to the end.
If that's the case, then things are going bad.
And now, General Leopold said, let's fight, and if we can win, it's the best. Even if you can't win. We showed our value, and it was better to lose better than to lose hard. After surrendering, maybe you can still get the emperor's favor, and then get glory and wealth or something......
These words can be regarded as speaking to the hearts of these people. These guys instantly felt that this general was really a good person, a good boss, a good general. And a sworn allegiance, sworn to follow the general to eat and drink spicy, and the feeling of being a big official after surrendering also came naturally.
"So, let's take the initiative to attack!" General Leopold then said something surprising:
"At the moment, we have received information that the other side has just entered the territory of Nirosia, and if the other side continues to advance, it will take a few days to reach the canal area. So I decided to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack on the enemy's canal area! As long as we can seize control of the Suez Canal and rely on this river as a defensive line, then we will be invincible in the future!"
After the general explained his motives, the officers, who had previously thought that General Leopold was too reckless, also nodded their heads incessantly.
Yes, if you are unprepared, this battle may really be fought. If all goes well, then they have even more room for bargaining! )
