In the Swiss army camp, many generals gathered together to hold a military meeting.
Most places in Switzerland are still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
The Swiss army camp was filled with a tense atmosphere.
The Swedish army's war was not going well, and every general had a more or less irritable mood on his face.
Lu Qianjin, Chief of the General Staff of the Swedish Army, tapped the map with his hand and said: "The current war is not progressing smoothly, and we must change the combat plan.
The Shu Kingdom is building the second and third lines of defense in the rear.
With the speed at which we broke through the first line of defense, by the time we broke through the first line of defense, Shu's third line of defense had already been built.
The Shu Kingdom is preparing to use their turtle strategy to block our army's attack by building permanent fortifications.
Shu's strategy really worked.
In the past few days, our army's casualties compared with those of the Shu army have reached three to one.
Whenever you try to use infantry to seize the Shu defense line by force, you will pay huge casualties.
If you are poor, you will think about change, and if you change, you will be successful.
The current combat methods cannot solve the difficulties encountered by our army.
This is why I secretly mobilized troops to Fangge Town during this period."
After Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin finished speaking, he planted the red flag symbolizing the main force of the Rui Kingdom in Fangge Town, northeast of the battlefield, at the junction of Rui and Shu.
Zhou Yaolin, the frontline commander of the Swedish army, looked at Fangge Town. This place was just an ordinary small town on the border of Switzerland.
However, his journey to the Rui Kingdom was smooth, and he could directly use mechanized troops to cut off the Shu Kingdom's communication lines to the Hongtu Ridge area.
Zhou Yaolin said worriedly: "Chief of General Staff Lu, if our army does this, it will attack the homeland of Shu.
The two countries have not declared war, but our army directly attacks the mainland of Shu. Will this allow the empire to intervene?"
Zhou Yaolin still had some words that he had not said.
All European countries have acquiesced that no country can break through the bottom line of the empire.
Which country gave the empire a reason to intervene in the European situation?
This country will become the common enemy of all countries.
If Switzerland wants to survive in Europe, it cannot engage in undeclared war.
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin said in a stern tone: "The situation has deteriorated and we have to do this.
I will ask King Rui to complete the declaration of war with Shu as soon as possible.
Everyone knows that the relationship between King Rui and the empire is unusual.
Undeclared war by other countries may lead to imperial intervention.
If we, Switzerland, do not declare war, we may still have room for maneuver.
We don't need to make the decision on this matter. The main force must be in Fangge Town and be ready for the attack.
Waiting for King Rui's order, we just need to obey his orders.
The meeting is dismissed!”
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin had a domineering attitude. He did not listen to the suggestions of other generals and directly pushed ahead with this matter.
The generals left one after another, and Zhou Yaolin asked in a low voice: "Brother Lu, are you sure there are spies from Shu among these people?"
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin looked solemn and said seriously: "How can there be so many coincidences in the world.
I had a feeling on the battlefield that the Shu defenders seemed to know our firepower deployment in advance.
There is no technological difference in the reconnaissance methods between our two armies.
It's impossible. I don't understand the Shu army's reconnaissance methods.
There is only one possibility for this kind of thing to happen.
That means there are spies from Shu in our army.
The status of this spy is not low.
People with too low status cannot obtain military secrets.
This time the army went to Fangge Town to rest and recuperate, and they took this opportunity to deceive the spies.
This matter is kept strictly confidential and very few people know about it. If the secret is leaked, the scope of espionage activities can be locked down."
Zhou Yaolin said in a fierce tone: "If I knew who this kind of spy was, I would never let him go."
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin replied calmly: "It is normal for two countries to compete and send spies to each other.
There is no need to get angry because of this situation. If you find the spies in time, you can save a lot of losses."
Zhou Yaolin also knew that the existence of spies was impossible to guard against.
When the empire was fighting against England, France and other countries, their appearance was obviously different.
Even in this case, countries will send spies to each other.
What's more, now, all countries are dominated by Han people.
Not only the appearance, but also the language and living habits are similar.
The existence of spies is impossible to guard against.
Zhou Yaolin soon stopped thinking about spies. Issues related to spies were handled by the relevant departments.
He asked slightly worriedly: "Brother Lu, do you think the king will act impulsively and let Fangge Town's army really rush across the border?
The Kingdom of Shu is a large plain, and our country mainly develops tanks.
The mechanized army, dominated by chariots, can directly rush across the border and take Warsaw, the capital of Shu.
In this way, not only the Hongshanling area, but also the entire Shu Kingdom will be owned by our Rui Kingdom."
When Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin heard Zhou Yaolin say this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and his brain was thinking rapidly.
King Rui Sulei is indeed a great success.
King Sulei of Rui may not be able to bear this approach, which can prove the strength of Rui to the outside world at a certain cost.
This is why Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin used this plan to trap spies.
They, the senior officials of the Governor's Office of the Rui Kingdom, all felt that King Sulei of Rui might adopt this plan.
The Shu spies would never dare to take risks, thinking that Rui would definitely not adopt this plan.
This plan is likely to lead to the collapse of the Shu Kingdom.
He will definitely try his best to pass this news on.
As long as he makes any move, he will definitely be caught.
King Sulei of Rui was really willing to take risks and let the Rui army carry out the plan to raid Shu.
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin had no way to stop it.
He can only try his best to improve this plan and give Switzerland a strategic advantage.
…
Hao Dayong, chief of staff of the Third Artillery Division, was extremely confused.
He came back from attending a military meeting and everything was normal.
When he returned to his tent, he seemed to be out of his mind.
Switzerland's next strategy is too unexpected.
He never thought that Switzerland would do this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But this approach is indeed the way King Rui Sulei does things.
Hao Dayong gritted his teeth, this news must be spread back to Shu.
As a spy of the Shu Kingdom, even if he holds a high position in the Rui Kingdom, he cannot get rid of his identity as a spy.
As long as you betray once, you will definitely not be trusted.
What's more, his family is still under the control of Shu.
He became a spy and had long been determined to die.
Sacrificing himself for the prosperity of his family is also a good choice.
Hao Dayong made up his mind and decided to pass on the news.
…
King Rui Su Lei looked at the military reports sent from the front line.
He sat silently.
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang also read the copy of the military newspaper. He did not add insult to injury, but defended the governor's office and said: "Your Majesty, this war will definitely not end in a short time.
A temporary victory or defeat cannot affect the situation between the two countries.
We must now accumulate small victories into big ones and make plans to fight this war for a long time."
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang understands very clearly that if the military wins, Switzerland can gain more.
Once the military loses this war, the surrounding wolves will disperse in droves, hoping to eat away at Rui and increase their own strength.
Now is the time to overcome the difficulties together, not to fight for power and gain.
If he strives for power and gain at this time, he will not get the support of Su Lei, King of Rui.
Governor Qi Kuohai glanced at him gratefully.
He stood up and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, it is a very common phenomenon for a war to last for several years.
Before we Han people arrived in Europe, European countries fought a war that lasted for more than thirty years.
This is not the longest war.
The empire seizes the era of industrialization and crushes its opponents with extremely strong strength.
Many times, an army with firearms is used to attack an army with cold weapons.
There is a technological generation gap between the two armies, so that they can defeat the enemy and resolve the battle quickly.
But our strength is comparable to that of Shu.
Before, we still had certain advantages over Shu.
But as Shu continued to receive supplies from the empire.
There is no generational difference between the two armies, and the battlefield has fallen into a stalemate.
The emergence of this situation is very consistent with the development law of things.
Of course, the military also has certain problems.
The army only conducts training, at most in the colonies, using the black indigenous people for training.
Never fought against a comparable opponent.
Even if it performs well on the training ground, once it is on the real battlefield, the army will perform completely differently.
Today's military is still very immature, and only veterans who have experienced battlefield training are elite soldiers."
The Grand Governor Qi Kuohai knew that the troops on the front line failed to produce the results expected by King Rui Su Lei.
He can only use this reason to protect the army.
King Sule of Rui remained silent. He was not satisfied with the results achieved by the frontline troops.
However, the strength of the army is not strong, and this cannot be made up for in a short time.
The Grand Governor Qi Kuohai could only change the subject.
"Your Majesty, Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin used a trick to capture three spies.
One is a senior military officer, one is a guard of the senior military officer, and the other is an ordinary staff officer.
The Kingdom of Shu has been deceived by false information and is deploying troops towards Fangge Town."
King Rui Sulei heard that the spy hiding in the military had been captured.
He slapped the table excitedly and said with a hearty smile: "This is really great. These guys who cheat on others must be sentenced to death to deter others.
The king has never treated them badly, but these people are actually acting as spies."
After Rui Wang Su Lei finished venting, he looked at the map on the table and pointed to the location of the square array.
"I really want to let Rui's mechanized army rush directly into Shu's homeland.
Even if the Shu Kingdom could purchase chariots from the empire, they would not have time to train a strong army.
The chariot troops of the Rui Kingdom will gallop on the great plains of the Shu Kingdom.
In the tough battle, we are indeed weaker.
But in mobile warfare on the plains, I believe that the Swedish army is no worse than any other army."
When King Rui Su Lei said these words, Prime Minister Yu Tianfang and Grand Governor Qi Kuohai looked nervous and stood up to persuade.
Now is definitely not the time for Rui and Shu to engage in an all-out war.
If we start a full-scale war now, no matter whether we win or lose, Shu will not be able to obtain greater benefits.
King Sulei of Rui saw the performance of the two important ministers, and he waved his hand to signal them to be calm.
"This king is just thinking about it. I will never be impulsive and put the interests of Rui country first.
The current situation in Europe is in a state of simmering flames, but it has not completely exploded yet.
If a full-scale war really breaks out between Rui and Shu, European countries will push hard from the rear.
They will not give up until the foundations of our two countries are completely consumed.
We, Switzerland, are not allied with any country.
These countries are not our allies, in other words, these countries are our enemies.
If they have the chance, they will definitely choose to eliminate a competitor.
This is despite the two countries declaring war.
If we choose to go to war without declaring it, even if the Empire does not intervene.
European countries will also unite to attack us on the grounds that we have violated the rules.
They want to divide our technology, and they want to divide our population to strengthen themselves.
There is not much trust between these people, but violating the rules set by the empire is one of the few reasons that can unite them.
It's hard to say about other countries, but our neighboring countries, Chu State and the Four Kingdoms Alliance.
They will never miss this opportunity and will definitely take advantage of it to send troops.
At least we must weaken our country’s foundation so that our country will not threaten them.”
When the Grand Governor Qi Kuohai heard what King Rui Su Lei said, he knew that King Rui Su Lei would never act impulsively.
He immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty's Holy Name, this is an old minister who is overly worried."
King Rui Sulei is no longer young and will not act so impulsively.
He also knew that if he did something wrong, he would bear the price himself, instead of his father helping him smooth the price.
Rui Guo is the foundation for him to settle down and live his life. Even if he shows his talents to his father, Rui Guo can never make mistakes.
If he cannot return to the empire, the Rui Kingdom is the inheritance he will leave to his descendants.
His unattainable dream may be realized by future generations.
King Rui Su Lei asked in a calm tone: "Qi Aiqing, because of the current stalemate on the front line, what should we do?"
Governor Qi Kuohai has not left his phone these days. He knows the situation on the front line very clearly.
He has also been thinking about what kind of strategy Switzerland should implement these days.
Governor Qi Kuohai suggested: "On the Internet, I found that the quality of the Shu army is not high and they are training on the battlefield.
The spies we sent learned about the situation.
The troops on the front line of the Shu Army rotate every other day.
This kind of high-intensity rotation is to train an elite soldier.
The Kingdom of Shu is training its troops, and the Kingdom of Shu is using this war to cultivate its own military industry.
We should also take this opportunity to train our troops on real battlefields.
True gold is not afraid of fire. Only soldiers who have experienced the baptism of the battlefield can become elite soldiers."
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang suggested: "The military's consumption of ammunition will far exceed pre-war estimates.
Our country should adjust the layout of its military industry.
Not just for frontline soldiers, there is plenty of ammunition.
After the expansion of production capacity, we are waiting for the outbreak of the European War.
These weapons and ammunition become hard currency."
King Su Lei of Rui heard the suggestions from Governor Qi Kuohai and Prime Minister Yu Tianfang.
Their consciousness is basically the same, and they regard this war as a training ground.
King Sulei of Rui knew that there were very few choices in the current Rui country.
"Training troops is a good idea, but we must pay attention to controlling casualties."
King Rui Sulei agreed that the strategic goal of this war was changed to military training.
