Macho Wars

Although the Northern Corps headed by the Seventh Division occupies a favorable geographical position, the huge disadvantage in terms of strength made them only passively defensive and completely lost the initiative.

And because there is no such international humanitarian agreement as the Geneva Convention in this world, the means of warfare are even more unscrupulous. The Federal Army uses poison gas in almost every attack.

It is worth mentioning that on the second day of the end of the Southwest Offensive, Dragoon suddenly received a bad news-the aviation team finally surrendered its "first blood."

In a ground attack mission, the Haiyan 7 of the carrier-based aircraft squadron was shot down by enemy air defense fire.

The EFF is also exploring and summarizing in actual combat, improving the old air defense tactics.Their soldiers directly modified the support of the heavy machine gun by themselves so that it had a higher elevation angle and could shoot into the air.

The Haiyan No. 7 that was shot down was when the enemy artillery positions were dived and fired, and several anti-aircraft machine guns ambushed around gathered fire. The pilot was unfortunately shot and the fighter jets were planted on the enemy position.

In order to prevent the technology from leaking on the fighter planes, several wingmen of the same team had no alternative but to throw bombs at the crashed Haiyan No. 7 to completely turn it into parts.

Dragon didn't think that the EFF could obtain any valuable technology through the charred wreckage. What really worries him is that the other party has gradually mastered the way to deal with fighters.Although the advantages of the aviation team are still there, safety can no longer be guaranteed.

The thought of his wife who was so addicted to flying was still fighting in the north, and Dragoon was overwhelmed.

Howard was also frustrated by the threat from the north, because the north was not as mountainous as the southwest. Except along the river, there was no barrier to guard the vast plain.The First and Second Army is still on its way, let alone need a week to arrive.

In one week, seven days are long or short, and everything can happen.

Tarrance did intend to continue conscription, but the country was already on the verge of a limit.

The total population of the entire Guangfu District is less than 5 million. They enlisted nearly 400,000 people into the army, and the remaining citizens have to tighten their belts to supply military supplies.

The senior officials of the kingdom realized painfully that even if they finally won the war with the help of the empire, Tarance would be greatly injured.

However, the war is still going on. No matter how painful the Tarrans people are and how much they hate killing and death, they must continue because this is their war.

And watching the heroic postures of the men betting on everything to fight, Karen hated her weak self more and more.

As the last direct member of the Tarrance royal family, Karen believes that he should have taken the responsibility to lead the people of the kingdom out of trouble.

But Karen also knew that he didn't have the talent and grace to become a monarch.The only thing she can do is to sacrifice herself in exchange for the aid of the empire for the people of Tarance.

Maybe it's trying to do my part, or just don't want to stay in the room alone and feel the desperate loneliness and helplessness.These days, Karen has been looking for condolences around Nas, hoping to boost the morale of the people, although the process has not been smooth.

Karen went to the hospital and the orphanage successively, and even went to a refugee settlement in the suburbs despite the strong opposition of the guards.After learning about their situation and difficulties, Karen then went to visit some famous locals in Nas, hoping to get more support and help from them.

According to rumors, many of the middle and upper-class nobles in Nas actually had secret warehouses in their homes, which stocked a large amount of food and medicines that were in short supply.

Karen hopes to persuade them to donate some to the civilians in need.

However, Karen soon discovered that she was too naive, thinking of human nature too beautifully.

These old and cunning nobles are personable on the surface, but in fact they are full of bad water.They all denied that there was any secret warehouse in their house, and then cried and sold miserably in front of Karen with their noses and tears.

This one said that his whole family ate chaffy vegetables, the young and old hadn't seen Xunxuan for half a year. The other said that he was full of loyalty, and his son and son-in-law were all on the battlefield.

As a result, after this visit, only less than 500 kilograms of food and a few boxes of medicines were needed.For the current material gap, this is too little to describe in a drop in the air.

Thinking of what happened to him these days and the hypocritical faces of those nobles, Karen was both angry and helpless.

So on the way back to the palace, Karen suddenly asked the driver to diverge to the headquarters. She wanted to go there for a while, and chat with a "good friend" by the way, to express the distress in her heart.

Chapter 322

To be honest, Karen didn't really like coming to the headquarters. One was because she didn't know anything about military affairs, and she couldn't understand or understand it, and second, she couldn't stand the smell of smoke.

You must know that the army is a place where there are a lot of people who smoke. The headquarters is the hardest hit area. Nine out of ten officers are old smokers.Every time Karen came over, she would be suffocated by the ubiquitous strong smoke.

That is to say, the frequency of her "inspections" in the headquarters has only slightly increased in recent times.

When the royal convoy arrived in front of the headquarters, the sun had already set and snowflakes were floating in the sky.

After getting out of the car, Karen rubbed her hands and walked quickly up the steps in front of the command department.Since she came here on a temporary basis, she didn't notify her in advance, so naturally no one came out to meet her.The guard standing guard at the door saw that the princess had arrived and hurriedly opened the door for her.

The group entered the hall, and a major Tarrance immediately greeted him and saluted Karen respectfully.

"Welcome, Your Royal Highness."

"No need to be polite, Major, I just... just come over and take a look."

"Do you need me to lead you?"

"Thanks."

Karen does not actually need someone to lead the way. She is very familiar with the headquarters building, but since the bombing, security has been strengthened here. Even if you are the Princess of Tarrance, you can't run around.

Under the leadership of the officer, Karen first came to the commander's office on the second floor.Since it is here, it is natural to pay a visit to the highest commander of the headquarters first, otherwise it will inevitably go straight to the "topic".

But what Kallen did not expect was that General Howard was not alone in the office. The eldest prince Felavi, Levsto, Chief of Staff Raton and Deputy Chief of Staff Dragon were all here. The five seemed to be in a meeting. .

Karen pretended to glance at Dragon next to him, and then greeted Howard.

"Good evening, Commander Commander, I hope my uninvited visit will not disturb your business."

"Of course not, your Royal Highness, if you don't dislike it, you can sit down and listen together."

"Thank you."

After Karen found a chair and sat down, the high-level meeting in the office continued.Although she did not understand military affairs, she still understood that the content of the meeting was related to logistics.

Just two days ago, an imperial transport fleet that was scheduled to arrive in Tarrance this morning encountered a night attack by the Federal Navy halfway through.

The opponent used torpedoes to attack the fleet. Seven Griffin-class transport ships were sunk during the battle. Hundreds of crew members and nearly 40,000 tons of cargo were buried.Most of the lost goods were food and medicine, all of which were the most in short supply for the expeditionary force and the local people in Tarrance.

According to statistics, the logistics department believes that with their existing food reserves, even if they are kept at the lowest consumption, they can only last for about three days, and the next batch of domestic transportation fleets will have to wait at least one week.

The four-day food gap is very fatal for Tarrance now!

It is necessary to know that in the entire Guangfu District of more than 4 million people, more than 70% of the families have to rely on relief food to survive, and the official relief station can only provide them with 100 grams of brown bread per day.

Coupled with the severe weather, even if the status quo is maintained, hundreds of people will die every day due to malnutrition.

Therefore, once the limited food supply is cut off, not only will it severely damage the morale of the military and civilians in the Guangfu District, but it will even give the hostile elements hidden in the dark an opportunity to use the panic caused by the crisis to incite civil riots.

Seeing that several people in the office were studying relevant countermeasures, Karen couldn't help but think of the nobles.

"Gentlemen, may I interject?"

"But it doesn't matter, your highness."

Seeing Karen raised a hand timidly and asked to speak like a pupil, Howard replied gently.

"For the food issue, we may...maybe go to the nobles...borrow it."
