Chapter 217 Luo Linjun’s Military Discussion (2)

What's the use of knowing what the codename of the new offensive is?

What the generals want to know most is what the deployment of the Britannian Empire's new offensive is like, what its goals are, and what its purpose is...

It's just that the spies didn't find out any of this useful information.

Barr seemed to know what everyone was thinking now, and said in a somewhat mocking tone:

"Our country's spies are really useless. The last 'Spring Awakening' offensive of the Britannia Empire was like this. After all the effort, the boss only found out what the code name of that offensive was. What a bunch of people. waste!"

As soon as Barr finished speaking, the generals sitting at the long table nodded with deep understanding.

What Barr just said successfully expressed their feelings.

Barr took the water glass placed next to him, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then continued:

"Compared to spies who do nothing, our scouts are more reliable than these spies."

"These days, we have successfully detected new movements of the 150,000 Britannia troops."

"The 150,000 Britannian Army is now divided into three armies. Judging from the directions of these three armies, we will temporarily call these three armies the West Route Army, the Middle Route Army, and the East Route Army."

"And our scouts also successfully detected the strength of these three armies."

"Also, although I just said that our spies are a bunch of trash, they still sent back some useful information."

"For example - our spies successfully found out who the commanders of these three armies are."

As soon as Barr finished speaking, many generals couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

The spies have finally returned with a piece of useful information!

——This is the voice of all the generals in the camp, including Barr.

"Yesterday, I sent someone to compile some intelligence and information about the three armies of the Britannia Empire that I have found so far."

As Barr spoke, he turned his attention to a middle-aged man sitting next to him.

After feeling Barr's gaze, the middle-aged man immediately stood up knowingly, then picked up a small stack of paper in front of him and distributed the small stack of paper to each general sitting at the long table. In their hands, each person gets one piece.

"The currently known information about these three Britannian armies has been summarized on this piece of paper."

When the middle-aged man distributed the paper in his hand to each general, Barr said to everyone in the camp.

"I will give you 10 minutes to browse in detail. We will start the discussion after 10 minutes. You are allowed to discuss with each other, but you are not allowed to be too loud and don't disturb my rest."

After saying these words, Barr leaned back on the chair behind him, then closed his eyes to rest.

After hearing Barr's words, the generals in the camp immediately began to look at the paper in their hands attentively, and whispered to each other from time to time.

…

10 minutes passed quickly.

As soon as the 10 minutes were up, Barr immediately opened his eyes and said:

"Okay, time's up, map!"

"yes!"

After hearing Barr's last words "map," the middle-aged man sitting next to Barr immediately took out a map from under the table, then stood up and spread it out on the long table.

This map is exactly the battle map of the current confrontation between the 150,000 Britannian Army and the 250,000 Rollin Army.

"As everyone can see from this piece of paper, the 150,000 Britannia army is now divided into three armies."

As Barr spoke, he stood up and leaned on the map, and then took out 15 small black squares from the side.

"They are the Central Army - 60,000 people."

Barr separated 6 pieces from the 15 small black squares and placed them in the middle of the map.

“Western Route Army—50,000 people.

However, according to the intelligence obtained by the spies, the head coach of the Western Route Army - the 'cyborg' Allen who surrendered to the Britannia Empire last year, brought a newly trained elite force to the Western Route Army. The Route Army will go, so the total strength of the West Route Army now should be more than 50,000, but we will first determine the strength of the West Route Army as 50,000. "

After that, Barr divided out 5 small black squares again and placed them to the west of the 6 small squares just now.

"In the end, there were 40,000 people from the Eastern Route Army."

Barr placed the last four small black squares on the east side of the six small squares representing the central army.

"The above is the deployment of the Britannia Army. Iser has returned to the eastern defense line of the Britannia Empire, and the commander of the Central Army, Albert, is already ready in the Central Army. The other two The coaches of the Route Army, Allen and Su Cheng, are still on their way."

"According to the information sent back by the spies, Allen and Su Cheng should rush to the front line to take charge of each other's armies at the end of June or early July."

"That is to say - the Britannia Empire's 'Summer Wind' offensive - was probably launched in early July."

"We don't have much time left."

"We only have 250,000 troops with low morale. We have to resist 150,000 Britannian troops on the vast plains."

After saying that, Barr grabbed a handful of small white squares and sprinkled them in front of the three small piles of black squares on the map.

Some careful generals even counted the number of white squares that Baal sprinkled on the map——

Exactly 25.

"So, everyone—"

Barr sat back in his chair.

"Is there any good strategy for defending against enemies?"

As soon as Barr finished speaking, the entire camp fell silent.

Every general sitting at the long table frowned and looked at the map placed on the long table.

Barr was not in a hurry and allowed the camp to continue to be shrouded in an atmosphere called "silence."

Everyone, including Barr, knew that this was an upcoming major battle, although on the surface, it seemed that the Rollin Empire, which had more powerful forces, had the upper hand.

But anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows that the Britannia Empire has the upper hand in this upcoming "Summer Wind" offensive!

Although there is nothing wrong with the fact that people with more troops have greater combat power.

However, it does not mean that the side with more troops has the advantage and is guaranteed to win.

In history, there are countless battles in which a small number of people defeated a large number.

There are too many factors related to the victory or defeat of a battle, and military strength is only one of them and not a very important factor.

The Luolin Empire had just suffered a disastrous defeat, so the morale of the 250,000 Luolin troops was not high.

The Britannia Empire was just the opposite. The 150,000 Britannia army had just experienced a great victory and their morale was high.

Moreover, the Luolin Empire lost its northern defense line, and the 250,000 Luolin army had no chance of defending. They could only use their bodies as a defense line to resist the Britannia army on the vast plains.

After such a measurement, it can be seen that the Luo Lin Empire, which has a stronger military force, is actually at a disadvantage.

And the disadvantage is not very small.

Therefore, precisely because it is so difficult to come up with a good strategy against the enemy in this situation, the generals sitting around the long table frowned, looking at the battle map in front of them, thinking about the strategy. The enemy has a good plan, but no one has spoken for a long time.

And Barr waited patiently.

After nearly 10 minutes, an old voice finally broke the silence of the camp.

"Coach..."

The person who spoke was an old man sitting on Barr's left side.

"It's Denis." Bald said, "Have you come up with any good strategies to deal with the enemy?"

The old man whom Barr called Deni smiled and said:

"It's not really a good strategy to deal with the enemy. I just came up with a rough idea."

"That's okay, feel free to express your thoughts. Things like enemy strategy must be discussed among everyone," Bal said.

"Then I'll tell you what I think."

Having said this, Deni paused, cleared his throat, and then continued:

"Our current situation is not optimistic. Our 250,000-strong army has no danger to defend. Under such a situation, the enemy can gallop freely on the Great Plains and attack wherever they want. So in this situation If we forcefully set up a defensive line, our defense will be very passive."

"And we don't have enough troops. If we set up a defense line on this vast plain, our 250,000-strong army will be very scattered."

"In other words, if our 250,000-strong army sets up a defense line on the Great Plains, our defense line will be very thin due to insufficient troops. With a little effort from the enemy, our thin defense line will be able to be wiped out. The defense line was breached."

"So we shouldn't defend! We should take the initiative to attack! We use offense to defend!"

After saying that, Denis's eyes burst out with terrifying light.
