After everyone thought for a moment, the county magistrate Qinghui continued his analysis:
"It was a fluke to discover this anomaly. A few days ago, a team from the Thirteenth Militia Regiment accidentally broke the regular patrol requirements and released a reconnaissance aircraft outside the boundary. They accidentally discovered an enemy stronghold that was too close to the boundary of the boundary. .
After the county city obtains the coordinates, it uses long-range strikes to annihilate the stronghold.
Immediately, multiple legion teams were dispatched to investigate the entire route from south to north. After suffering heavy losses, the results were ascertained. The current situation was already quite dangerous.
The enemy has actually established more than 130 strongholds, including 58 large strongholds, 62 medium and small strongholds, and more than ten micro strongholds. The only stronghold that has been destroyed so far is the first micro stronghold discovered. "
Everyone was stunned for a while, and they all speculated on Xixuan's intention to break the convention of laying out points as lines, and put forward their own opinions:
"My lords, if we follow the same method and still focus on long-range strikes, no matter how many strongholds the enemy has, they will not be able to withstand my strikes!"
"Yes, the enemy's tactics look powerful, but in fact they are not. If our army mobilizes large forces and uses the large force to defeat the small ones, we will sweep them all the way, and we will definitely eradicate them all."
"This is inappropriate. The enemy is making such a dangerous move. There must be a conspiracy. We need more detailed data to support our decision and submit it to the Imperial Military Department for the military's decision-making!"
"In my opinion, if the enemy does not follow their original tactics, we, Yaxi County, still have to apply to the empire to mobilize troops from Bohu County and Maiji County to help defend Yaxi. Otherwise, Yaxi will be in danger!"
…
While analyzing the various noisy messages sent by the officials and military commanders in the sea of knowledge, while looking at the county guard teacher who was deep in thought and the surprised and confused county guard Shi Yangqi, Qinghui waved his hand to block everyone's discussion. :
"Everyone, I have some humble opinions on this situation. Please listen to my analysis and correct me.
First, let’s talk about the long-range strike strategy.
The last time we destroyed a tiny stronghold, our army had used more than a hundred short-range missiles, composite rockets, hundreds of cannon shells and super howitzer shells, and also used a thermobaric bomb.
In this way, with such a degree of fire coverage and precise coordinate position guidance, there were still remaining enemies in the tiny stronghold after the war.
Have you ever thought about what kind of firepower output we would have to pay if we replaced those medium and large strongholds, and how much ammunition reserves we would need? Can Iasi's arms reserves be sustained? Will the enemy just stay there and wait for us to bomb?
Let’s analyze taking the initiative again.
Suppose we organize a large force to use the large to defeat the small. In a short period of time, we can form a local superiority in strength. However, even if we have a local superiority in military strength, the enemies in a line will still move.
We have mobilized a lot of troops, and the other side can directly attack Yaxi County. Since all our personnel have been mobilized to attack the stronghold and fortress, how can we have enough power to protect Yaxi?
If we draw few manpower and the opponent just merges the troops from multiple strongholds for defense, this is equivalent to us throwing away our advantages and using inferior troops to gnaw hard bones. This will change the previous routine to the host and guest sides, which is equivalent to Following the old path of the Xixuan Federation, we still suffer! "
Everyone nodded frequently and thought Qingfu's analysis was reasonable.
"Let's talk about the third situation, that is, we remain motionless, which is in line with the enemy's purpose.
They secretly established a frontline stronghold instead of gathering in Patbang like before. They learned from the previous lessons and no longer used fueling tactics.
They have a full line layout on the entire west side of Iasi. Once they are dispatched, they will definitely attack the entire line and catch us by surprise.
I judge that their purpose is to bully me that Yasi's military strength is insufficient. By then, the entire city defense will be in emergency, and they may even break through the high city in one fell swoop and enter the city.
In addition, they carry and deploy so many mechanical locusts, with huge lethality and low cost, they will inevitably achieve a very high battle loss ratio! "
Everyone looked at each other and frowned:
"Master Jun Cheng, it is wrong to advance or retreat like this, so how should we respond?"
Qinghui is confident:
"Just now, several colleagues suggested that the empire mobilize surrounding military forces to assist in defense. This is advisable.
The reason why the enemy secretly made such a layout is to conclude that our military strength in Yaxi is not enough to cope with the federal military strength coming out across the board. So, since we have obtained the enemy's information, we naturally have to increase the military strength per unit area.
At the same time, the enemy also knows that we have mastered their strategy and will inevitably speed up the gathering of troops. Naturally, there will be a problem that not all the expected troops will be available, but they cannot afford to delay, otherwise, they will face the kind of fuel war in the past. Law, the situation is bound to fail.
Therefore, I propose that the empire dispatch some troops from Maiji County and Bohu County to help defend Yaxi.
At the same time, all the warlocks in Iasi are recruited for collaborative training. Arms production is at full firepower, waiting for the enemies to gather and fight a blocking battle that the enemy hopes for!
Based on this judgment, both sides gathered their troops and formed a long front. There must be a large-scale war soon.
A war of this scale is no longer something that Yaxi County can do arbitrarily, nor can the Western Wasteland Army do. The war command authority will inevitably be transferred to the Imperial Military Department, and it will be decided by His Majesty! "
Qingfu’s categorical conclusion convinced everyone and unanimously agreed:
"What you say makes sense, and I agree with your analysis and judgment!"
Sheriff Bai Su nodded in approval:
"Very good, I also agree with your handling strategy."
County Supervisor Yu Shi Yangqi also bowed his head and agreed:
"Sir Qinghui's words are mature, loyal and courageous. Yang admires them, so he will synchronize the news to the imperial capital in a timely manner."
Captain Wang Jueming and Army Sima Yang Jingjie, representing the middle-level officers of the Army, saluted and promised:
"Your Excellency has great foresight. How dare you, a subordinate, rely on force to harm the national security? I am willing to follow the orders of the empire and the city as a guideline, not to act rashly, not to sacrifice my life, and to do whatever I am told!"
Seeing that there were no objections at all levels, Bai Su and other senior officials improved and supplemented Qinghui's proposal, and then reported it to the Imperial Capital Military Department through the "Jianmu" barrier and reported it to His Majesty the Emperor.
In a moment, the barrier and satellite communication system had informed the world of the enemy's situation.
The war machine of Iasi County has started.
In the entire empire's barrier system, massive data exchanges are occurring in an ever-changing environment.
Under countless instructions and according to various plans, every link is being prepared for the expected war.
The war program has been activated.
In the sky of the empire, the only remaining satellites form a star chain. The communication and detection capabilities are fully tilted towards the military aspect, and everything is giving way to war.
Massive amounts of war materials are continuously transported to Yasi County from the empire's arms depots in different directions through various large vehicles.
More than 100,000 troops gathered in Yaxi from Bohu County and Maiji County.
Soon, the city of Iasi will become a huge military camp.
…
Before the Xixuan Federation pounced on all fronts, various interest groups in the empire had already pounced on them.
Wealthy families, high-ranking families, and aristocratic families compete for command authority and material rationing at all levels. At the same time, they also have to weigh the sending of suitable children to Iasi, with the intention of meritorious service and honors, and adding glory to the family.
From a humble family to the grassroots, those with ability are even more enthusiastic. They feel that God has given them a chance to rise. They hope to gain military merits in the war and take the family to a new height.
As a result, in the exclusive area northeast of Yaxi County, the number of large cargo aircraft and military troop carriers taking off and landing every day is increasing day by day, and there are even more small and medium-sized aircraft.
The smell of war is approaching step by step.
…
For Welling, all this is just a look.
Although he is involved in it, due to his humble position, it has little impact on his own life.
Ever since he learned the information about the intelligent agent from Li Lingyou, all he could think about was waiting for news about Shiba Lang.
During this meeting with Li Lingyou, I never forgot to ask for his citizen number again.
We exchanged numbers with each other and will have a convenient way to contact each other by leaving messages in the future.
Nanxing, Shanglu and Jinu also exchanged numbers with their elder brother Li, making Li Shibalang grin with joy.
Welling was not surprised at all when he received the war mobilization order from the barrier system.
After discovering, reporting, and eradicating the stronghold, Welling deduced various possibilities. He was not surprised at the coming of war, but had a full sense of urgency.
For this reason, he even made a special trip to find Mr. Chuanbai and asked for a pass.
This pass can ensure that Welling can have unimpeded access to most areas of the mortal world on the three underground floors, especially those medical rehabilitation institutions, and of course the temporary control area on the ground floor and the prison space on the fourth underground floor. .
The reason is simple. As an intelligent warlock, Wei Ling's practice focuses on the spiritual aspect and requires observing people's mental states and characteristics under different extreme situations.
This is something Welling has been planning for a long time.
He just took advantage of the window period where the patrol mission had just been completed and the war had not yet begun, to try to improve his magical abilities.
Lord Chuanbai naturally wanted to report this information to Jun Cheng Qinghui. Firstly, some of the areas Wei Ling requested to observe were sensitive and exceeded his authority. Secondly, Lord Chuanbai felt that Jun Cheng was not interested in this same type of warlock. More concerned.
Master Qinghui is naturally happy to see the results, and it feels like Wei Ling finally has some basic self-consciousness as a warlock.
He was not too surprised that Welling discovered the enemy's traces and received a commendation during his second patrol.
In Lord Qinghui's view, if a wise warlock like Wei Ling leads a few small militiamen and does nothing like other militia teams, then there is something really abnormal.
This made Master Qingfu feel more confident about Wei Ling's identity. For a warlock who was deliberately trying to perform meritorious deeds and attack the Xixuan Federation, at least the possibility of him betraying that black-haired and black-eyed man was infinitely close to zero.
What's more, "that man" appeared in front of the imperial study room, accompanied by the four major lords of the empire and led by the prince.
Of course, this does not prevent Lord Qingfu from being very lashing out and dissatisfied with Wei Ling's behavior of having no sorcerer consciousness and charging forward like a tank.
This is reflected in his message to Welling:
"Welling, the patrol mission was completed extremely well, exceeding my expectations.
Please also learn more during the rest period and try to improve the warlock's ability as much as possible.
The empire still attaches great importance to intelligent warlocks and relies heavily on them.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but should think more carefully and be self-sufficient.
I will fully support your request to Sichuan Bai. If you encounter any obstacles, please leave a message to let us know. "
Naturally, Qinghui also left a citizen code for Wei Ling.
Wei Ling didn't feel lucky about this, but he didn't expect that many officials with similar status to Qingfu didn't have Qingfu's citizen number.
…
Before fully improving his warlock abilities, Welling did not forget to assign more training tasks to the three children.
Through the invisible "little gift" he gave Nan Xing and others, the three children now have a more profound and keen energy recognition of the direction of their abilities.
The reason why there has been no breakthrough is that the mental power is not enough to drive and organize the energy, so it is impossible to form effective spells.
Over time, the empire will inevitably have three more young warlocks.
