The Nicks of Intertwined Fates Chapter 113: The War of Faith (3)
"Let's go back and see," he said, holding up a red pen to draw an icon of several ships, "and this is where we were at the time." He drew another arrow, "This is where the enemy was when he was not out of the Karon Bay magnetic storm circle, and three minutes later, the two sides engaged the enemy." Did you find anything? β
"The distance between the two is the shortest on the entire route." Someone answered in seconds.
"Yes," Ferric praised the other party and drew the line again, "They launched missiles at this position, and they were detected and captured by our radar at this position, but at this distance, the missiles have left their initial velocity and entered the acceleration phase of the combat position. Three decoy bombs in front and one microwave bomb in the back, everything is like flowing water, one more second will be intercepted by the missile in advance, and one second less will lose the effect of the decoy bomb, and it will be destroyed by our side along with the microwave bomb. β
"They pinched the gap between our prevention and control radar and made a time difference." Zafarullah felt a bit fanciful. Because it's as difficult as picking your ears with a rolling pin.
"There's nothing strange about it," said the man who had been keeping his head down and silent, "they're setting the rules for us." β
"Young Master, what do you mean?"
"It's me who underestimates the other party, and the responsibility for all this lies with me, and it has nothing to do with you." The man stood up and tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop.
"Okay, that's the end of the meeting, let's disperse, I'm a little tired." The man said lazily.
Everyone stood up, bowed slightly, and walked out of the conference room in turn.
"Buxton stays." The man beckoned.
"Young Master," after Buxton and the others left, he got up in person, closed the door of the conference room, and after sitting down again, he looked at the host of the seat and said with some concern: "I got the news that the council does not agree to increase military investment in advance. On the family sideββγ He was a little reluctant to speak.
"This is the first battle I've commanded since I came out of the ivory tower, steward, do you understand the importance of this battle? With me. β
"Don't worry, the old slave will do his best."
"How's my brother's condition?" The man said lightly.
"Master Harris's condition has been effectively alleviated, but it will improve in a short period of time.... I'm afraid ....." Buxton is stumbling.
"That woman also has some means, it's called Livia, hehe, the people of the Seminary are more or less capable." The man shook his head slightly, "Leave him alone, Harris can't affect my status, he is a lost dog now." β
"Do you want to," Buxton slammed his left hand into a palm and slashed it down.
"Buxton, watch who you are, I don't want the same words to appear in your foul-smelling mouth again." The man said in disgust.
Buxton was genuinely afraid, "It's the old slave who has trespassed." β
"He is no longer the pride of the sky, in the family, although the grandfather is as favored as always, but the elders in the family are obviously a little displeased. The eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the fifth uncle also said some not very good things many times at the family meeting. The man smiled slightly, "Let him be, but don't let your guard down, let alone think about it, I know you are loyal, but, do you think, if something happens to Harris on my turf, what do you make the many cousins and cousins of the family think?" Do they think that a narrow-minded man can lead the great Habsburgs? β
"It's the old slave who thinks too simply, if the young master hadn't mentioned it, the old slave would have almost broken the big thing."
"Send someone to watch his every move, that's enough, you know? Buxton. Also, the hospitality must be good, don't let people pick on it. β
"Yes, I'll arrange it." Buxton replied respectfully.
"What do you think about the destruction of the fleet?" The man asked slowly.
"At this quarter's roundtable, there was already a confrontation between the two factions, with some family spokesmen not wanting to get involved in the war of the rescue society, and some right-wing ...... The point is that the attitude of the parliamentarians is ambiguous. Coupled with the occurrence of such a bad incident today, it is estimated that the follow-up additional military spending will be stuck again. β
"Definitely, no one wants to escalate the conflict. Everyone just wants to fight a conventional war, a proxy war. Who doesn't know who's standing behind the bailouts, these filthy sewer rats, they're involved in all the shit in the world, damn it, I think they just want to test if our hands can be long. The escalation of the conflict is not a good thing for anyone, who does not have a few weapons of mass destruction in their hands, is it possible that such a small thing in Southeast Asia will end up together? Haha, there's no need. β
"We can all see things clearly, how can the politicians in the parliament who are better than monkeys not see clearly, people want to drag it out, they know, since the essence of the thing has been determined, then it is not difficult to deal with it."
"To sum up, there are nothing more than two points, what we want to gain in this war, and what the family wants to gain in this war. We just need to follow these two guidelines. As for whether or how this war can be won. To be honest, this is impossible, as long as the forces behind the rescue society want to fight, they have to keep fighting. The man smiled lightly.
"Some family spokespersons just saw this clearly, and only then thought about quitting, after all, it is very unnecessary to spend resources, people, and energy on this thing that is destined to have no ending." Buxton shook his head.
"The right wing in parliament who wants to fight is not at ease. While helping the clock tower to destock, while making a lot of money from our family, these vampires, phew! The man frowned in disgust.
"There's no way," Buxton said, spreading his hands and regretting.
"Yes, there is no way. The plates of the world are basically divided, and if you want to grab food from the wolf's mouth, you can only fight with the hungry wolf. The family power wants to develop, our base camp is in London, the front and back are the sea, the other side of the sea, and the alliance composed of countless families, we are the oldest and most orthodox family in Europe, those who rely on the opportunities of the times and nepotism to climb up the waste, do not want us to rise again, this trip to Cavendi is an opportunity, a reasonable and legal opportunity to export power, we must grasp it. β
"I, Hilde, will definitely prove to the entire family through this operation that it is not only the direct Lorraine family that can lead the future of the family, but also our Rudolph line."
"My Habsburg roots, in Spain, in the Franks, in Austria, in Germania, and not here, hang alone abroad, like exile on the streets of London." Hilde's eyes lit up with anger and ambition.
...........
After Zavrol failed to achieve effective results, the rescue committee opened up two fronts in the east and west, mobilizing a total of more than 5,000 troops, showing a situation of Mount Tai pressing the top.
The clock tower forces are more or less passive here, and the spokesperson they rely on, Catlet, does not have the ability to knock on the board head-on with the rescue society, and in the case of a serious generation gap in aircraft and artillery, they can only defend passively, and it is extremely difficult to defend.
We have done everything we can to support Zavrol so that it will not collapse on all fronts, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect troops to be invested on both the eastern and western fronts.
During this time, Carterit was also mobilizing subordinate areas for recruitment training, and the displaced people trained in a short period of time could not go to the front line at all, this is not a battle that can be solved by crowd tactics between several companies in the past, but a modern war, which requires a complete set of systematic battlefield training before it can be dispatched, otherwise it is just a head.
Three months. No matter how much the training time is shortened, if a homeless person can cause some trouble to the other side, he needs to train urgently for three months.
And precisely, what they lack is time.
After the clock tower took root here, it once again played the posture of a super power.
The mercenaries from Europe quickly stabilized the eastern and western fronts, and the newly established assembly line also put simple chariots into the battlefield, greatly ensuring the survivability of soldiers on the battlefield.
Resources from Europe are still feeding the land.
Zavrol.
A few trucks broke through the line of fire, and the town in front of them, if it could still be called a town instead of ruins; Buildings above the second floor have largely collapsed, and the pavement has been buried by craters and rubble. Hundreds of soldiers jumped out of the trenches that crisscrossed them, climbed onto trucks, and moved supplies with swift hands and feet. There were five trucks, not weapons and ammunition, not food and water, nor auxiliary devices that would affect the direction of the war, such as radar or artillery locators. Rather, bales of cement and piles of rebar.
The current state of war, to be honest, Zavrol has been lost, but not all.
The fire on the opposite side was too fierce, and shells rained down. With the fortifications of the moment, it was difficult to withstand the artillery offensive from the opposite side.
The trenches can effectively evade artillery fire, but they can't avoid the interspersed with drones, plus the coordinated attack of combat vehicles and infantry, to be honest, according to such a rhythm, the small team that Hornason has just formed was broken up a few days ago.
The second echelon led by Lieutenant Colonel Smer came to assist in the defense two days earlier than the agreed time, which was originally a great good thing, and it was undoubtedly a blessing for Hornathan and his gang, who had suffered serious attrition. It's just that no one expected that the well-trained 300 company soldiers would be crippled by a charge from the opposite side the next day, and that Raqua's combat performance was even inferior to the armed townsmen who had gone through the test of blood and fire in the past few days and were armed with rudimentary weapons.
Lieutenant Colonel Smaer was a black man, with a strong physique, a majestic figure, more than two meters tall, like a bear, and a big and bold personality, and when he was fighting, he liked to charge forward.
Apparently anxious to behave or something, believing that the Rescue Society soldiers in front of him in rudimentary cloaks and smocks were nothing more than some armed refugees, he despised them as a group of peasants with AK guns. As a result, the opponent's round of unafraid of death completely ruined his arrogant army.
With twenty-four 155mm heavy guns, they directly focused on Smail, no nanotechnology was used, and any reinforcement components or unit modules were useless, even if Smail's main ability was known for defense, he was a chicken in front of heavy artillery.
Faced with this stunned man who always likes to charge ahead and can't listen to advice, Jonathan was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother, and finally came to the reinforcements to be able to take a breath, but he was cut off by this bird again.
Until his death, he naively thought that when the infantry of the two sides handed over, the enemy artillery would not cover the blow indiscriminately.
Jonathan told him more than once that the people of the Rescue Society were crazy, well, there was no need to take care of it now, and even if it did, it would be God's business.
When the white cloth covered Smail's mutilated corpse, Jonathan was melancholy, there would be no more reinforcements in a short time, after absorbing the remnants of Smail, his current strength was only more than 600 people, relying on these horses, and hard against the two thousand legions on the opposite side who looked at death as home, thinking about it was a burst of despair.
With Smael's death, Cartlet's orders were also transmitted by radio, telling them to defend Zavrol to the death, take a step back, and engage in court-martial.
