Macho Wars

If the Principality Army’s troops on the Tarrans side are still somewhat combative, then those who stay behind to guard their homes are a group of pigs.

However, the fact that the enemy is weak is a good thing after all, which means that they can end the war faster, and they can also kill a lot of people.

The war that took place in the Far East has been fought long enough. The total number of deaths in several major countries participating in the war has exceeded 500,000, and civilian casualties are countless.

Dragon has always felt that if the purpose of launching war is not for peace, it will be meaningless.

Whether Tarrance or Sapphire Principality, these two small countries that had good potential in the Far East are now greatly injured.The people who have been ravaged by war now only hope that peace can come with spring.

Chapter 327

In the capital of the Principality of Sapphire, there is a gloomy cloud in the conference hall of the palace.The new king sat on the throne, and wherever his gaze passed, the officials lowered their heads in silence, and no one dared to look at him.

In the end, the young king could only look at the mother who was sitting next to his deputy, and cast his eyes on the other side for help.

"Mother..."

"Your Majesty, at this time you should first ask Lord Luo Yako for his opinion. He is the Minister of Military Affairs."

"Master Roako."

"The minister, the minister is..."

The hapless person named directly by the Queen Regent was a gray-haired dying old man, with a thin body squatting, like an old locust tree about to die.

The old man's name is Roako Holly. He is the newly appointed Minister of Military Affairs of the Principality of Sapphire, as well as the former Minister of Military Affairs. He is 90 out of two this year.

At this age, let alone in the Far East, even if you look at the whole world, they are all national treasure-level old birthday stars.

He had retired almost 20 years ago, because on the day of the new king's accession to the throne, the former military minister fled overnight and defected to the eldest son who launched the rebellion.The new king could not find a suitable successor, and in the end he could only force Luo Yako to come out as the minister of military affairs and let him take charge of the overall situation.

Roako originally wanted to refuse, because anyone could tell that the Principality of Sapphire is already a grasshopper after autumn, and it hasn't been a few days.

But what made the old man feel helpless was that the new king was his great-grandson-in-law, and this marriage was decided by him.I pretend to cause the disaster, even if I have tears, I will resist.

However, the reality is cruel. On the first day Roako took office, the Imperial Army landed in Redstone Harbor. Before he could figure out a countermeasure, the important town of Helland was lost.

In order to gain some necessary time for the defense of the capital, Luo Yako hurriedly dispatched two garrison regiments, hoping that they could move forward and lay out the defense line to hold the enemy's pace as much as possible.

But the enemy's offensive was swift and violent, far beyond Luo Yako's imagination.Less than eight hours after Helland was lost, the vanguard had already approached less than 80 kilometers from the capital.The two guard regiments that came out were shocked that they were defeated by the opponent before they even dug their trenches.

With bad news, the two regiments fled back to the capital in a desperate manner. In front of the new king and his officials, they exaggeratedly described the scene when they were defeated that night.

What about the overwhelming artillery fire, the mountains and plains of tanks and infantry, vowed to say that he had been attacked by at least one of the imperial army's frontal attack, otherwise it would be impossible to lose so fast and so miserably.

Perhaps these two idiots are really talented in talking about cross talk, and everyone believed what they said!

So panic inevitably began to spread, and the news even spread to the ears of the people in the capital that night.Ordinary civilians rushed into the city like crazy, seeking shelter from the city walls, while nobles who knew a little about modern warfare fled the capital.

Because the enemy that came this time was not a rebel bandit, but an imperial army with a large number of heavy weapons.The seemingly towering and solid walls have no meaning in front of large-caliber artillery.

The current capital garrison has only four dissatisfied divisions, which add up to less than 50,000.

Although Luo Yako didn't believe that the Imperial Army landing at Redstone Harbor could have as many as a whole group army, there were still one or two main divisions.

And these troops in his hand, that is, a Lancer Division, are relatively good at fighting.

This division was once the pride of the Sapphire Principality. The division commander was the famous "Tiger of the Far East", Lieutenant General Vladimir. They made great contributions in the battle to defeat Tarance.

However, the first regiment of this ace troop was beaten by a little-known third-line garrison of the Imperial Army in an island battle two years ago, and the division commander Vladimir was also killed in this battle.

This battle was like a slap in the face, allowing the Principality Army, once immersed in the dream of "invincibility", to recognize the gap between itself and the first-class powers.

After that, this division became the capital garrison, and the division commander was also replaced. Now the combat effectiveness can still reach a few percent of the peak period, which is unknown.

Although Roako is old and his brain is far less flexible than when he was young, at least he hasn't become dementia.He knew very well that they had no chance of winning at all by themselves, and the original largest backer Federation had clearly stood on the side of the big young man, and Dong Qin was even more unlikely to send troops.

The only way out before them was to surrender as decently as possible, but he couldn't say that.

Facing the king’s question, Luo Yaco dared not tell the truth at all, and could only bite the bullet and say that he was confident of defending the capital.The courtiers also joined together, praising that the old marshal was a military god and would surely defeat the imperial invaders.

It wasn't until the new king smiled at ease that the "comedy" in the hall was over.

At the same time, on the other side, the reconnaissance force led by Roebuck had approached as close as 30 kilometers away from the Sapphire Capital.Of the 51 people in the team, only three were slightly injured, and the results they achieved can be described as "miracle".

If Roebuck knew that he had fewer than two platoons, he would be misunderstood by the opponent as a group army, he would not be laughing to death in the snow.

The squad is currently hiding in an empty village to rest. The regiment has just issued a new instruction to stop them and reinforcements will come soon.

Roebuck had expected it to be like this a long time ago. After all, they just used a mere 50 people to destroy the two groups on the opposite side. With Dragoon's character of "being cheap and not taking the bastard", he must be able to win the chase. of.

Moreover, once the Imperial Army poses a direct threat to the capital of the Principality, the pressure caused can be much more effective than the occupation of the transportation hub of Helland.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Roebuck asked his subordinates to change into local clothes, disguise themselves and go out to investigate, and collect as much enemy information as possible before the main force arrives.As a result, one of the squads quickly gained a "reap" and even captured an enemy officer.

The soldiers who caught the cargo told Roebuck that they met this guy on the nearby road when he was robbing refugees with a small group of principality soldiers.

Mentioned the actions of this group, the faces of his men were full of shame and disgust, and Roebuck knew what had happened without asking.Now that the soldiers are in chaos, the rebels may not be as moral as the bandits.

Roebuck came to the captive and looked up and down at the other person. Seeing that this guy didn't panic at all, he showed a flattering smile to himself.

Although Roebuck hates scum, they really need this kind of unscrupulous bastard right now.

Chapter 328

"Name, serial number."

"Back to the sir, the younger one is called Justin. He belongs to the first battalion and third company of the second regiment of the second garrison division.

"Oh~! Are you still a second lieutenant?"

"Hey, the little one got lucky. He didn't die in two battles on the front line, so he was promoted. Compared with the chief, I don't even deserve shoes."

The second lieutenant named Justin looked up at Roebuck with a fawning face, smiling like a chrysanthemum.Roebuck resisted the urge to kill the grandson with a shot, and continued to question him patiently.

The other party seemed to know everything, but Roebuck didn't think that this kind of unscrupulous little man would be honest simply because he was held to his head by a gun.

Justin told Roebuck that although the garrison of the royal capital currently claims to have eight divisions and 100,000 troops, in fact, four divisions are empty, and the rest are not satisfied.The military department is racking its brains to catch strong men everywhere.

Take the second garrison division as an example. Justin, the second lieutenant platoon leader, has only seven soldiers in total, and there is no good man in this group.Including Justin, the platoon leader, are all serious prisoners in prison.

The military of the Principality replenishes these thugs into the army on the condition that they are not guilty and released after one year of war.Regardless of their combat effectiveness, at least in terms of harming the people, all of them are indeed "talents"!

Roebuck was questioning, when a subordinate ran over and said that a large number of vehicles were approaching to the south.However, because of the low visibility caused by the snowfall, the communication machine happened to have a small malfunction at this time, so the identity of the other party could not be determined temporarily.

After Roebuck listened, he asked his men to stay and watch the prisoners, and he ran out to check the situation.

When he ran to the entrance of the village, it happened that the convoy was within the visible distance.When Roebuck saw the armed trucks leading up, his heart suddenly sank.
