Macho Wars

Why did your majesty leave the palace secretly?

Did someone encourage him to do this behind his back?

Was it really a coincidence to meet the leader of the largest civil organization in the colony?

All kinds of doubts make these politicians who are accustomed to thinking from conspiracy theories more and more afraid, and their thinking is rapidly changing without knowing it!

If the biggest external problem of the Eastern Empire comes from the rival Western Empire, then the biggest internal problem must belong to this alliance of workers and peasants.This is a super-large civil organization with a scale of one million people. More than half of the workers and nearly one-third of the farmers in the entire colony are their members, and some of them are even included because of the mandatory first-level conscription order. The army of the empire.

Such an unofficial organization that does not obey the orders of the empire and aims to protect the interests of the populace, if they do not disband, the central government will be uneasy!

Originally, with Latuk's plan, to deal with such a behemoth, it was necessary to slowly dismember them from within the organization, and then defeat them one by one.If it works properly, it can even be transformed into its own "white gloves."

However, the plan hasn't changed fast. The old fox like Latuk can stand his temper, but the people below him don't necessarily have this city.Some of the guys who were anxious to behave thought it could be done according to the "old way", so they secretly instructed the police to arrest the league’s number two player, Mark Eisnon.

As long as he is caught in the game, there is a way to charge him with some crimes, and then take the opportunity to ruin him and the entire league.But I never thought that their plan was unfavorable. The two police officers who collected black money did find Mark Eisnon, but the ghost knew why the young emperor was also in that civilian elementary school.

Thanks to the imperial guards who are full of the emperor's skill points, if the two sand sculpture policemen act impulsively, things will be unthinkable!

Latuk and the party members present did not believe that things would be such a coincidence. According to their usual logic of thinking, they believed that there must be something wrong behind it.Maybe some political opponents are deliberately setting up tricks, first enthusiasm for his own faction to deal with the Alliance, and then take the opportunity to lead the young emperor to the scene of the incident.

If the two sand sculpture police officers acted impulsively and really did something disrespectful to the young emperor, those political opponents would definitely take the opportunity to dig into the incident with great fanfare, and then let the fire follow behind. The network of relationships burned up all the way.

Latuk himself has done similar things more than once.

Fortunately, the royal guards with the emperor's skill points arrived in time, and the most terrible thing did not happen, and they successfully reminded them.

Several big bosses from the same camp gathered together to study afterwards, and quickly locked the imaginary enemy's target, which was the military faction represented by Howard and Dragon.Although they are all commanding counter-offensive operations at the local front line, it does not mean that there is no eyeliner on the colony side. The nine princesses Enfia, who just came back to "cure" not long ago, are likely to be the eyeliner they arranged.

And Alicia, the eleventh princess who has been married to Dragon, is also the sister of the young emperor Andy, it is very likely that she is encouraging the young emperor to leave the palace.

Latuk and his comrades organized these "clues" and quickly got the "answers" they wanted.

Chapter 563

In the homeland of the empire, the battlefields are still fighting in blood. To the north is Howard's battle against Harov. Under the imperial capital city is the "flesh mill" jointly constructed by Dragon and Firavi.These two main battlefields have attracted the attention of the vast majority of the world's forces. On the contrary, the third battlefield in the west inland has been ruthlessly ignored.

Poor, weak and helpless, the fifth prince is like an ordinary mortal who has been involved in a fight with immortals. Although he also has the identity of a prince, his helpless limited territory makes him unable to explode like the other two forces. There is no powerful black technology in Shanghai, and the 300,000 people who fought and beat the west, they just wanted to face the 700,000 army.

If it weren't for the mountainous areas in the western part of the empire deep inland, which gave him some dangerous terrain to defend, the army of the Fifth Prince might not be able to hold it for a week.

However, as the battle progressed, the Five Princes had lost most of the plains, and nearly half of the original 300,000 troops had been lost.Fortunately, the part that was consumed was all the miscellaneous army that was hurriedly pulled up, and its combat effectiveness was weak, and morale was also very low, so it was gone if it was gone, and the five princes wouldn't be too distressed.

Its main forces are the two reserve divisions of the Ninth Corps and the 27th Reserve Corps that originally belonged to the Northwest Military Region. This part has a total strength of 80,000 troops, which can be regarded as elite troops with relatively reliable combat effectiveness.

But to say it is elite, in fact, it is only compared to other miscellaneous troops.

After several days of fighting, the headquarters of the five princes has been transferred three times in a row and retreated to Pukulu, known as the "mountain city".

Pukulu is surrounded by mountains and the surrounding terrain is very dangerous.The reason why the city was built in such a place was mainly because it was the site of the largest gold mine in the western part of the empire. Therefore, the empire built a huge military fortress here, which later gradually developed into a medium-sized city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

According to the standards of twenty years ago, this fortress city standing on top of a mountain can withstand the siege of a million army for more than a year when its military strength and material reserves are full.But the five princes actually have no bottom in their hearts, because the intensity of the war and military technology 20 years ago is completely different from the current level.

Fortunately, after retreating to Pukulu Fortress, the five princes, who had been retreating steadily, finally gained a foothold.In addition to the main fortress in the center, the entire fortress has a sub-fortress group on the periphery, blocking all the roads into the mountain.

There is a heavy artillery group deployed in the main fort, which has an overwhelming range advantage and can provide strong fire support for any surrounding sub-forts.The Fifth Prince deployed his main force in these dangerous places and successfully resisted the siege of nearly half a million troops of the Crusaders with a force of 100,000 troops.

Facing the strong outer fortifications of the Pukulu fortress group, the crusaders sent by Firawi stormed four times before and after, paying the tragic price of nearly 10,000 casualties, but failed to attack even a secondary fort. The enemy’s heavy artillery group They could hardly raise their heads under pressure, and the attacking troops suffered heavy casualties, which forced the legion commander to suspend the offensive to adjust tactics.

Under normal circumstances, it is a taboo to attack such a stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.The cost of stacking human lives is not to say, and in many cases it is easy to stack.Veteran commanders generally choose the stupid way of besieging the earthwork industry, using time and explosives to replace the lives of their soldiers to destroy the solid walls.

But the commander of the Crusade Army now lacks time the most, because the imperial capital has been in a hurry five days ago, and the army led by Dragon may break the city at any time, and the Uncle’s Northern Route Army was dragged by Howard. , The West Route Army on their side is already the last rescuer Firavi can count on.

There are currently two options before the commander. One is to continue to complete the crusade against the Five Princes Group as originally planned, but the Imperial Capital obviously cannot survive that time.The second is to abandon the original plan, and the whole army or part of it will be rescued.

But the fifth prince would certainly not sit idly by. This man was indeed inferior to the eldest prince Felavi in ​​terms of personal talent, but he was not a completely incompetent mediocrity.

In the previous battle, no matter how bad the situation was, the Five Princes still refused to use the only two armored divisions under their hands, just to preserve the final offensive ability, and would certainly not let the great fighters slip away from them.

Throughout the ages, how many retreats have turned into defeats are all bloody lessons.

The two sides were consuming each other with big eyes and small eyes. The imperial capital urged three times a day, and the commander of the crusade army became more anxious as he dragged on, desperately looking for a turning point.

And it seems that some of the providence in the dark has responded to his request. Major General Thorid Sneek, the commander of the 54th Division under his command, suddenly reported that he had discovered from the south side of the Pukulu Fortress through field investigations. A breakthrough point that can be used.

Regarding the report of the 54th Division, the commander was a little bit skeptical, because the southern face of the Pukulu fortress group was cliffs with nearly vertical cliffs with a height difference of more than 100 meters. In addition to flying birds, even apes climbed. Not going up.

But Solid was the celebrity in front of Firavi after all, and he had a very good record and sufficient qualifications, so the commander agreed to summon the opponent.Suolid quickly came to the headquarters, and was accompanied by a dark-skinned junior officer. The commander knew that this person was from a minority ethnicity by looking at the opponent's complexion and face.

"General Snake, who is the captain next to you?"

"His name is Shah Rukh, a Moi ethnic group from the south. This ethnic group has lived in primitive mountains since ancient times. In order to avoid attacks by wild animals, they will build suspended villages on the cliffs of the mountains. Therefore, the ethnic group is very good at rock climbing. In the past few years , I specially recruited 500 ethnic minority soldiers from the Moi and organized these soldiers into a high mountain camp. Shah Rukh is their battalion commander, and they are my trump card."

"You mean, let them climb up the cliff to the south? But there are only five hundred people!"

Looking at the captain next to Snake, the commander shook his head. There are more than 100,000 people under the Five Princes. Although most of them are deployed in the peripheral sub-forts, there is still at least one main division in the main fort. Tens of thousands of troops.

Even if five hundred people successfully climbed up the cliff, they would only be moths fighting the fire.But Snake said that he has this confidence in his trump card.

"It's really useless for five hundred people to attack the fortress from the front, but the alpine battalion has the ability to get in from the rear where the defenders are negligent, and can completely insert directly into the core area of ​​the fortress by surprise. They are like a shot of poison injected into the enemy's heart. Five hundred people are enough to reach a lethal dose!"

Chapter 564 Black Shirt Army

For a long time, Solid Snake has considered himself an imitator, and the object he has been imitating is the Dragon who created the superpower of the Marines.Although the civil war in the empire made the two loyal to different camps a hostile relationship, in the eyes of Suolide, this is not entirely a bad thing.

For a true fan, is there anything more exciting than challenging his former idol in actual combat?

It's a pity that before the Eastern Empire fully counterattacked the mainland, Felavi sent Thorlid and his Diamondback Division to the Western Crusade Army to participate in the battle against the Five Princes, so they could not immediately collide with the Marines that were almost at their peak. .

Unlike most general spectators who focus their attention on the cutting-edge weapons of aircraft carriers, Sulide has always been more interested in Dragoon's military management methods. He firmly believes that weapons are only assistance, and talents are the key to the outcome of war.

Therefore, he admired Dragon very much. With his outstanding military talent and personal charm, he successfully created an unbeatable army, which is worthy of his imitation and reference.In addition to learning the training methods of the Marine Corps, he also targeted the strong reconnaissance brigade and also tried to form a special force suitable for mountain operations.

Later, Solid told Firavi about his idea, and then received the strong support of the other party, so the Gaoshan Battalion, as the first experimental force, came into being under the efforts of Solid.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of its formation, this force was attacked by many imperialist populists.Because Solid insisted on selecting soldiers from the Moi tribe, even officers were no exception, and he gave this unit the highest level of treatment in terms of weapons, equipment and salary, which made many radical officers who advocate "Sidney supremacy" very much accurate.

This group of people is like Dragoon who frantically slandered the "impure blood" back then. They criticized Solid and his "inferior troops" and felt that this was a waste of the country's resources. Sidney's talent is this. The best nation in the world.

For these verbal abuses and attacks, Suolid was under a lot of pressure at first, but fortunately, Firavi stepped forward to stand for them and blocked most of the attacks.Firawi even personally bestowed the exclusive black uniforms and flags of the alpine camp, which greatly encouraged the soldiers of Solid and the alpine camp, and the nickname "Black Shirt Army" was also derived from this.

In order to repay the trust and support of Firavi, the mountain camp maintained a high degree of enthusiasm during the training period, and was dedicated to fighting, wanting to prove itself.

Fortunately, Solid has kept his mind sober. He didn't rush to throw this elite force built with a lot of money into the frontal battlefield. Instead, he did not send out. It was not until the crusaders hit the Pukulu Fortress and the attack was frustrated. Take it out.

In Suolide’s view, with the strength of the five hundred men in the Gaoshan Battalion, it is indeed a idiotic dream to confront a Manchurian division head-on, but if it is to be a squad, focusing on the enemy’s weaknesses, it is already It is more than enough.

According to the combat plan formulated by Sulide, the alpine battalion will climb up from the cliff on the south side of the fortress. The defenders are self-reliant on a cliff of more than two hundred meters high. The defensive force at this level will inevitably be very empty and lax. Take advantage of the void and enter.
