Chapter 225: All Troops on the Western Front Are Ready!
Luo Lin's army position, western front.
Deni, the deputy commander of the 250,000-strong Luo Lin Army, stood outside the camp holding a teacup, sipping the black tea in the cup while looking at the cloudless sky.
He looked worried.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be thinking about something, even his brows were slightly wrinkled.
Just as Denis was frowning, looking at the sky and thinking about something, a familiar old male voice suddenly came from behind:
"Deni, why do you look so worried? What are you thinking about?"
Denis turned his head at the sound and found that it was his old friend and comrade-in-arms who fought side by side this time - Leo.
Seeing Leo leaning towards him with a smile on his face, Denis also squeezed out a smile and said hello to Leo:
"Hey, Leo, you're here, how are you? Do you want some black tea?"
"No!" Leo replied angrily, "I hate drinking black tea! And why do you talk like a Briton, Denis? When you meet people, you always ask them if they want black tea."
"Hahaha!" Deni laughed a few times, "I just asked casually. Even if you said you wanted to drink, I wouldn't give you a drink."
Leo, who happened to walk up to Denis's side, couldn't help laughing after hearing Denis's words, and then gently hammered Denis's chest and said:
"You guy..."
Although the two of them had a heated debate at the recent military meeting to discuss the enemy plan, Leo ruthlessly criticized the strategic concept proposed by Denis at the meeting.
But in private, the two of them are actually very good friends. They are the type who will get into a quarrel because of their disagreements in public places such as meetings, but then still have a good time drinking and talking together in private.
After a little banter with his old friend Deni, Leo returned to the topic:
"Deni, why do you look so worried? The war hasn't officially started yet. With this expression on your face, if the soldiers see this look on their leader, it will affect the morale of the soldiers."
At the end of the sentence, Leo's tone became much more serious.
Because as Leo said, the expression and reaction of the commander-in-chief of an army will greatly affect the morale of the entire army.
If the commander-in-chief of the army always maintains a calm look, even if the enemy is killed in front of them, without a trace of panic, then the soldiers will calm down unconsciously when they see that their commander-in-chief is still so calm.
If the commander-in-chief of the army cannot remain calm, he will panic first when the enemy comes, which will make the soldiers who see the panic of the commander even more panic.
After hearing Leo's somewhat critical words, Denis raised his hand, rubbed his cheek, and said with a wry smile:
"Sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future. I was just worried about the situation on the eastern front."
"Eastern Front? Are you worried about Luo Xie and the others?"
"Yeah." Deni nodded, "That's right. I'm worried about Luo Xie and the others now."
The commander of Luo Lin's army, Barr, divided this huge battlefield into three fronts. He also divided his 250,000 troops into three troops, each of which was responsible for a front.
These three fronts are the Western Front, the Central Front and the Eastern Front.
Each front is responsible for dealing with one of the Britannian Army's armies.
The western front is headed by the deputy commander of Luo Lin's army, Denis, with a total strength of 60,000. He is responsible for carrying out delayed operations against the Western Route Army led by Allen and holding back Allen's Western Route Army.
On the central front, the commander of Luo Lin's army, Baer, was personally responsible for leading the main force - an army of 130,000 people to deal with the central army commanded by Albert.
On the eastern front, Luo Xie, a young general of the Luo Lin Army, who is only 32 years old, is in charge of this. He leads 60,000 people to deal with the East Route Army led by Su Cheng. The task is the same as that of Denis.
Responsible for carrying out delay operations and holding back Su Cheng's East Route Army.
After hearing Denis say that he was worried about the Eastern Front, which was in charge of Roche, Leo couldn't help but frowned, and then said:
"Deni, why are you worried about the Eastern Front that Luo Xie is in charge of? Do you think Luo Xie, who commands an army of 60,000, will not be a rival to Su Cheng, who has only 40,000 men under his command? We were discussing various fronts at that time. How to deploy, didn’t you also agree to the plan of sending young people to the Eastern Front? Do you regret it now?”
As soon as Leo finished speaking, Deni replied instantly:
"Yes, I regret it! Now I'm just worried that Luo Xie and the others are no match for Su Cheng!"
Without waiting for Leo to reply, Deni took a sip of the black tea in his cup and continued:
"You should also know the reason why we decided to send Luo Xie and others to take charge of the eastern defense line, right?"
"We are doing this to train the younger generation of our imperial military."
"So, for the sake of the young people with potential in the empire's military, we not only put the 32-year-old Luo Xie in charge of the eastern defense line, but also sent the four most promising young people in our empire to the eastern defense line. Let the four of them help Luo Xie deal with Su Cheng properly."
After listening to Denis's words, Leo nodded silently.
He naturally understood the reason for sending this large group of young people to the eastern defense line.
It is to train these young people with potential.
The current situation of Luolin Empire's military personnel is honestly not optimistic.
The talent gap is very serious, and it is more appropriate to describe the talent situation in the Luolin Empire's military circles as "the young and the old".
Nowadays, the senior generals of Luo Lin Empire are basically a bunch of old men with white hair and beards.
Not to mention senior generals, even among mid-level generals, there are very few middle-aged and young people.
Therefore, foreign countries, led by the Britannia Empire, now laugh at the Rollin Empire as a country that can only rely on old people to fight its wars.
Barr, Deni and the other pillars of the Rollin Empire's army were naturally anxious about the current situation of the empire's military personnel.
Therefore, in order to allow the young people in the current imperial military circles to grow and mature as quickly as possible, Barr, Denis and others deliberately decided to send a large number of young people when formulating this "anti-Xia Feng offensive operation" Go to the eastern front and let the group of young people headed by Luo Xie be responsible for dealing with Su Cheng of the Eastern Route Army.
When discussing the front deployment, Denis agreed with this plan.
Therefore, Leo couldn't help but feel curious after hearing that Denis, who had originally agreed to the plan, suddenly regretted it.
So, Leo asked Denis:
"Deni, why do you regret this plan? Isn't it wrong to send young people to exercise? If you can't let young people grow up as soon as possible, it's not a joke. We are all going to be dead even after one year. It’s not surprising that we’re old enough to die. If there aren’t enough young people to take over after we die, it may be the day when our Luo Lin Empire is destroyed.”
After listening to Leo's very serious question, Denis sighed, and then explained:
"The reason why I regret it is because after the meeting to discuss the deployment of each front, I thought about it seriously."
"I think it may not be a wise decision to let Luo Xie and the others deal with Su Cheng. I feel that Luo Xie and the others are not Su Cheng's opponents..."
Having said this, Deni paused for a moment, then continued in a deep voice:
"Leo, that Su Cheng is a monster..."
"He is a monster who was able to command nearly 100,000 troops in his second battlefield at the age of only 17..."
"When I think back on the Weihe annihilation battle he commanded, I still find it unbelievable and scary. This method of storing water to intercept the enemy is simply appalling and subverts people's imagination."
"Looking around the world now, Su Cheng's military talent should be the best among his peers."
"Although Su Cheng currently has only 40,000 people under his command, the combat effectiveness of the army is the weakest among the three armies."
"But under Su Cheng's command and ingenious plan, these 40,000 people may not be able to explode with terrifying power..."
"Although Roche, who is currently in charge of the Eastern Front, is not low in talent, the four Gilles de Rais who were sent to help Roche are also recent rising stars with great potential and talent. The strength of his troops is also much higher Yu Su Cheng."
"But... I always feel... they still won't be Su Cheng's opponent..."
After saying that, Denis frowned and drank all the black tea in the cup in his hand.
After listening to Denis's big words, Leo showed a helpless smile, then patted Denis on the shoulder, and said:
"Okay, don't think too much. 'Luo Xie and the others are not Su Cheng's opponents' are just your imagination."
"Although Luo Xie is young, he is also an experienced general who has experienced many battles."
"Moreover, didn't we also send four of the Empire's most dazzling new stars to the Eastern Front?"
"It's Gilles de Rais and the four of them."
"Although the four of them are only about 20 years old, they are undoubtedly talented and potential talents."
"Especially that Gil de Rais. He has the highest talent and the most dazzling record. He is the most famous military genius in our empire recently. In terms of talent, I don't think Gil will lose to that Su Cheng!"
"With Gil and four other young people here to assist Luo Xie, I don't think they will lose to Su Cheng!"
"So, don't think too much, give Luo Xie and the others some confidence."
After saying that, Leo patted Denis on the shoulder again.
After listening to Leo's comfort, Deni sighed, and then subconsciously raised the tea cup in his hand.
After raising the teacup to his lips, he realized that the black tea in the teacup had already been drunk, so he could only put down the teacup in his hand angrily.
As soon as Denis put down the tea cup in his hand, he saw a scout riding a fast horse, covered in dust, galloping towards the direction where he and Leo were!
"General!"
Although the scouts had not rushed in front of the two men, the scout sitting on horseback had already taken the lead and shouted:
"Urgent report! There is movement in the West Route Army of the Britannia Army! The West Route Army of the Britannia Army is marching in the direction of our army!"
After hearing this new piece of information from the scouts, both Denis and Leo looked stern at the same time.
"Deni, don't think about the Eastern Front for now." Leo said to Deni seriously, "Now let's concentrate on dealing with 'Cyborg' Alan Jones and his 50,000 troops."
"Well, that's what I meant."
After leaving these words lightly, Leo turned around and walked into the handsome tent behind him.
As he walked towards the commander's tent, he said to Leo:
"Leo, summon all the generals of the Western Front Army to the commander's tent for a military meeting! At the same time, prepare the entire Western Front Army for combat!"
"clear!"
