Sixty-eight, poison plan to starve food (II)
The total number of regular troops of the Three Clans Alliance Army is as high as 7 million group army groups, which is several times that of the Yan and Huang Clans, and they naturally need more food of all kinds, and with their production capacity, they simply provide pills, and they are afraid that they cannot afford to supply them, so the logistics supply of the Three Clans Alliance Army must be like the Yan and Huang Clans, using some food and some pills to supply together, so as to ensure that ordinary soldiers will not go hungry.
In fact, the pressure on the production and transportation of such a food supply system is very large. First of all, the first is that the quantity of demand is too large. An ordinary warrior, because they also belong to the monk family (although their strength is not strong, but they do also belong to the monk), their personal physical fitness is naturally far better than that of ordinary people, their work intensity is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and their consumption is naturally much stronger, and what is more terrible is that in the universe, there is not much heaven and earth aura, therefore, their daily energy consumption is all supplied by food, so the amount of food for an ordinary warrior is at least equivalent to the amount of food for five people, which is a very amazing number.
How much food can a planet produce? In addition to the production conditions of the planet, it also depends on the production capacity, but in any case, the production of 10 billion ordinary people on a planet is already terrifying, that is, the ordinary food output equivalent to 2 billion soldiers, and this is based on the perfect production system. And now is the time of war, although, none of the four races will massacre civilians (and the face of the four races will be taken into account). But. In war. Accidental injuries are inevitable, so at the beginning of the war, all civilians in the nearby hundreds of river systems have been evacuated (at least most of them), and no one wants to remain in this river system that is ready to die. The alliance of the three clans also knew that when the Yan and Huang clans attacked with all their might, it would be impossible for them to hold these rivers on the front line. To organize a large number of civilians to evacuate the battlefield, the required manpower and material resources will be lost, but they can't help but organize a retreat, it is impossible to throw the civilians under their rule to the Yanhuang tribe, rather than waiting for the future to organize, it is better to organize the retreat of civilians before the war, so that when the time comes, even if they want to retreat, it will be much more flexible.
Without a large number of civilians, production of all kinds has largely come to a standstill. And the logistics units in the army, although there are countless soldiers, they still have to stay in the factory to produce all kinds of warships, battleship parts and repair warships. It is impossible to allocate too many people to produce food, so it is unlikely that there will be enough food from the dozens of nearby river systems.
To use a large number of transport ships to transport a large amount of food from the rear to the front line, it can only be said that it is not realistic, after all, the daily consumption is too terrifying, the number of transports is too large, no race has such a huge transport fleet, and such a long-distance transport will become the best weakness of the enemy's attack, in order to protect such a long supply line, how many troops do you have to draw?
Therefore, for various reasons, the best food supply system is to replace ordinary food with a large amount of elixir to supply the troops, so that the transportation volume is much smaller, and the logistics and transportation departments can also allocate enough manpower to complete the transportation tasks, and the weakness of the logistics and transportation lines is not so great.
If you want to refine the elixir (including the fountain of life, which all belong to the elixir category), you need a lot of raw materials, such as kinds of herbs, etc., and these requirements are naturally very large, and the production of just one or two river systems is absolutely unable to meet the demand, so it has to be transported from the rear. Therefore, the production of various pills was completed on the front line and supplied to the troops nearby. to reduce the transportation pressure of logistics.
One of the obvious reasons for putting production lines on the front lines is to prevent corruption. Everyone knows that stealing some raw materials and stealing finished products are fundamentally two levels, and the logistics department of any race, there will be some lawbreakers, under various pretexts and steal some of the materials for personal gain, especially in the long transportation process, which is easier to start. To give a simple example, a transport ship is destroyed by a cosmic storm, and the entire ship is completely destroyed. Then, all the supplies on a transport ship will fall into the pockets of those outlaws. So, in order to reduce losses or something, it is also safe to put the production line on the front line.
The production of pills, such as Bigu Dan and the like, is not so high-end, and among all ethnic groups, the production line made by the formation can be used to refine, and the output is very high, as long as the raw materials can keep up, the supply is no problem at all. Of course, these production lines are very high-end (for the average small race), and they are also the secrets that the major races have to protect, so it is impossible for these production lines to be built on the surface of the planet, but to find a way to hide them, and the best hiding is of course among the treasures of the cave sky. As long as energy and raw materials are supplied, an endless stream of elixirs can be produced.
These pill production lines do not need too many people to be able to produce, only about 10,000 alchemists are needed to preside over a production line, which is enough to meet the daily food supply needs of the soldiers of a group army group, and it does not occupy too much space in the cave, so it is naturally very convenient to arrange people and production lines in the cave, and the Yanhuang clan does this.
One of the biggest advantages of hiding in the cave is that you can retreat at any time, after all, the cave is for a person to carry with you, it is easy to walk, and the enemy is unlikely to be able to attack. Therefore, based on the above analysis, Han Tiefang believes that the production line of the three clans alliance army should be hidden in the cave around the heads of some logistics departments of the enemy army.
Zhou Hongyuan and the others all understood a little, if they could kill the heads of the enemy's logistics department carrying Dongtian, destroy or snatch Dongtian, the enemy's pill production line would naturally be finished. Once there is no supply of these elixirs, with the reserves of the three clans alliance, I am afraid that it may not be able to support it for even three months. And there is no food. Any army has to collapse.
Not bad. Even if the elixir supply system is destroyed, it will only make ordinary soldiers hungry, and there is no big problem for the elites of the three clans, but when the ordinary soldiers are hungry, after they retreat, what will the alliance forces of the three clans do? Will they use their own elite legions to fight against the cannon fodder troops of the Yanhuang clan? As long as the brains of the high-level of the three clans are not broken, it is impossible to do such a thing. Use the elites of their own race to fight the cannon fodder, and with the coordination of the Holy Land Legion of the Yanhuang Clan, the losses of the elite troops of the Three Clans Alliance Army will go to sea.
No matter how many ordinary soldiers die, they are all cannon fodder for the high-level of the three clans, and they don't feel heartache, but the trillions of elite soldiers needless to say that the casualties are more than fifty percent, even if only three casualties will make them die of heartache. Therefore, they will definitely not do this, they can only retreat with the whole army. And after the whole army retreats, when will the rear send the pill production line to be able to gain a firm foothold. Otherwise, you will have to keep retreating.
As the old saying goes: "Meritorious work is no better than saving the driver, and counting poison is no more than starving food." "Cutting off the enemy's food supply is much more vicious than any strategy, and even if the enemy can fight again, if there is no food, when he is hungry, he will definitely collapse. The strategic concept proposed by Sun Tiejian and Zhou Tiehu is based on this point.
Of course, any plan is two-sided, the Yanhuang can find a way to cut off the enemy's food supply system, and the enemy will also deal with the Yanhuang in turn. It's just that the grain production of the Yanhuang clan is in the hands of Zhang Zeshan and others, these people are all close to the existence of the Da Luo level, so naturally there is no need to worry about the enemy implementing such a tactic, even if they have the ability to implement such a tactic, the probability of success is infinitely close to zero, after all, the existence close to the Da Luo level is not something that the monks and weapons in the world can deal with, so this tactic is not a threat to the Yan and Huang clan at all.
"According to my estimates, the pill production line of the Three Clans Alliance Army is at most three times the number of the army, even if it is a little more, it is four times the number. If we can destroy their pill production line on the front line, it will take at least a year or two for them to organize the production line from the rear and transport it to the front line, so that we can use this time or two to chase them down to the point where they even have to take off their pants, and under our onslaught, we believe that we can take advantage of them, and even eat a third of their troops without any problem. Han Tiefang said confidently.
For this, the trio is convinced, after all, a country, It is impossible for the production capacity of the race for the military to far exceed the needs of several times or even reach ten times, three times is basically a suitable number, and after the production line in the front is destroyed, and then want to organize enough production lines from the rear and then send them to the front line, considering the distance of transportation and the manpower to organize production, I am afraid that two years is still a conservative estimate, maybe it will reach more than three years, during this time, without the supply of pills, the alliance of the three clans will have to retreat, and along the way use the production and supply of the major river systems to maintain, as for the combat effectiveness, it can only be said that it is heheใ
It is a feasible strategic concept, but in order to achieve this strategic concept, Zhou Hongyuan is still skeptical: "The first problem is solved, and the second problem: if you want to solve the head of the enemy's logistics and production department, it is equivalent to carrying out a decapitation operation, although the difficulty is slightly inferior to assassinating the top commander of the enemy's army, but it is not lower than that, how much chance of success do you think this has?"
Decapitation is a very effective tactic, but it is also one of the most difficult tactics to succeed because it is effective, after all, any army will do everything in its power to protect its commander, so if you want to successfully assassinate the enemy's carrier of the production cave, this difficulty is really not lower than decapitation, maybe it is even better.
"I've thought about this one, but as long as we can get close to the enemy, and then, whether it's from the formation or the use of warships, we have a chance to give the enemy a lethal blow, and this one is not too difficult. As for the carrying of warships, we have the Dongtian class, and as long as we bring the Dongtian into the enemy's range and take it by surprise, we still have a great chance of success. "Han Tiefang has also thought about this issue a long time ago, and this one should be more feasible.
"The third problem is the biggest problem, any assassination operation must pay attention to the accuracy of intelligence, without accurate information, we simply cannot assassinate the enemy, although we cannot be said to be ignorant of the enemy's situation, but we do not know much, after all, under the blow of the enemy's counterintelligence network, our intelligence system has suffered great losses, and it is not an easy task to obtain accurate information about the enemy. Zhou Hongyuan resigned himself to the role of asking questions. (To be continued......)
