Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 16951696Should I tell His Majesty?

In an office that didn't look too big, the dwarf prime minister was sitting behind his desk, looking at the visiting imperial chief of staff, General Larbu.

Larbu, who had just learned of a huge event, was a little anxious. He placed some documents on the prime minister's desk and said, "Your Excellency, the elf's frontline air force is being transferred back to the country... Do you want this news?" Tell your majesty?"

The fact that the elves transferred many advanced jet fighters could not be hidden at all, and the dwarves soon found out about it. Someone reported the news to Larbu, and Larbu immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

After a series of defeats, the coalition forces began to show signs of fighting separately. The situation of uniting to resist the Tang army seemed to be about to collapse. This was not good news for the dwarves fighting head-on.

The Prime Minister looked down at the document, then took off the spectacles on the bridge of his nose. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't think it's necessary. You can ask Marquis Lane and ask him what's going on."

 Lately, many things have begun to be hidden from Emperor Binghan I, because the battle situation outside Ironforge is indeed too ugly.

  The dwarves were squeezed in three directions and lost a series of defense lines. The train station to the west is almost undefendable, and the residential area to the east has also been lost. I heard that the north is also very passive, and tanks from the Tang Army have rushed into the city.

 Under such circumstances, reporting the battle situation to Binghan I has little meaning. In order to persuade Binghan I to retreat south, everyone had truthfully reported the battle situation for a period of time, but Binghan I was already determined to stay in Ironforge, so everyone had no intention of scaring him anymore.

The problem is that they are no longer trying to scare him: the Tang Army's howitzers can cover more than 90% of Ironforge's area, and the other side may surprise the Ice Empire at any time.

As long as a hundred or so artillery pieces are concentrated and two basic amounts of ammunition are prepared, almost everyone in Ironforge will know the fact that the Tang army has invaded Ironforge.

Seeing the prime minister's businesslike appearance, Larbu said honestly: "I asked, and he said that the elves are planning a counterattack against Rewind Port and need to concentrate more air power."

“Do you think this explanation is reasonable?” the prime minister asked with a disdainful sneer, playing with his reading glasses.

Larbu was not a fool. He immediately shook his head and expressed his opinion: "Obviously, they did this to preserve their strength, not for some **** Rewind Port."

 Because the Rewind Port has been lost, and the loss of a Rewind Port by the elves is far from breaking the bones. But if the dwarves lose Ironforge, the strategic situation will be completely different.

As long as you are not a fool, you can judge which is more important. At this time, it is extremely stupid to draw troops from Ironforge to support Rewind Port.

The prime minister put down the reading glasses in his hand. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for the elves' stupidity or the dwarves' unfortunate national fate: "I hope tomorrow they won't regret their decision today. In fact, no matter how they preserve their strength, "Yes, in this situation, do they still think that the Tang army will stop going south and let their empire rest and recuperate for decades?" Larbu also didn't understand the other party's behavior.

 The prime minister is quite good at controlling people's hearts. Ti Elf explained: "But General Larbu, if it were you, you wouldn't waste all your strength on the doorstep of your neighbor's house."

“…” I originally wanted to retort, but Larbu choked up in the end. Those words that went against human nature were not uttered in the end.

"The war situation on our side is almost hopeless. You must know better than me what the state of Ironforge is. I won't be surprised if the Tang army rushes into the city tomorrow." Prime Minister As he spoke, he looked at the surrounding walls.

This is a basement, and of course there are no windows or anything like that. The dim light makes his eyes worse, and the turbid air is also tormenting him as an old man.

 Compared to the outside environment, the environment here is quite good. At least there are some paintings hanging on the walls to adjust the atmosphere, and there are waiters who can bring drinks and food. But this place is still cramped and depressing, and it always reminds people of the swaying fate of the icy empire.

"But, Mr. Prime Minister, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops fighting in Ironforge City. We can continue to persevere. Winter is coming soon. The Tang army will be defeated by the cold. We will definitely win the final victory." The battle situation was already very passive, but Larbu still felt that there was a possibility of victory.

According to the military's plan, as soon as winter comes, the main force of the Tang Army, which has a large number of night fighting troops trapped in the wild, will naturally suffer heavy losses. By then, they will be able to stabilize their front, at least until the beginning of next spring.

Many people who are muddle along feel that if the outcome is determined by then, even if Ironforge is lost, it will be next year, so there is no need to rush now...

The prime minister poured cold water on him: "It's a good idea. The question is, are we ready for the coming of winter? Your army, or Xieko's army, Balov's army, all have enough fuel, and Winter coat?”

"..." Larbu was speechless again. As far as he knew, the dwarf troops were indeed not well prepared for the winter. Although the city was not completely surrounded, few supplies were actually transferred from the south to Ironforge. .

On the one hand, the changes in the war situation have caused Ironforge to gradually lose direct control over other areas, and various places have begun to consider their own small calculations; on the other hand, the dwarves' industrial system has completely collapsed, and there are actually not that many supplies left. Transferred to Ironforge to support city defense.

 Before the dwarves fought against the elves, many industrial facilities were built in the north for safety: because from the beginning, Datang Group's aid project started from Everwinter Port and extended to the hinterland of the dwarf-controlled area.

 Large-scale oil refining equipment, mines, steel plants, and supporting machinery repair shops... so many heavy industries are all located in the north, or most of them are concentrated in the north. Now that these areas have been occupied by the Tang army, it would be strange if the dwarf's industrial system did not collapse quickly.

Over the years, the factories built by the dwarves themselves after driving away the Tang Group, as well as the production line equipment they later purchased from the Tang Empire, have been placed near Ironforge because it is relatively safer. Easy to manage.
