"Our destroyer did not find the target. If the Tang Empire's fleet is nearby, they will definitely be able to see it." The adjutant brought back the latest news, which made the unlucky commander somewhat believe in his luck.
The adjutant is right. If the Tang Army fleet comes, then all the warships he sent must have been sunk. And if the Tang Empire fleet is launched, then anyone who is not blind can see it...
"It seems we're not here anymore... Dorne also said they didn't find it... So, could it be to the north?" The expression on the face of the Imperial Navy Commander became wonderful. He really hoped that Tang Jun would go to the north.
ah.
In addition to nothing happening on my side, there is another lot of fun to watch: If the Tang army attacks the Yangmu Empire, then the son-in-law will pick on the father-in-law, which is wonderful! If the Tang army attacks the Dwarf Empire, then it will be
The battle between humans and dwarves was also very exciting.
"It's probably to the north... The staff department also feels that the Tang Army is more likely to fight under the cover of land-based aviation." The adjutant couldn't hide the smile on his face. Knowing that the powerful enemy was just passing by, he
Of course I'm happy.
…
"It's probably us." After repeatedly confirming that no trace of the Tang army was found in the direction of Dorn and Lines, Admiral Moss's expression was already quite heavy.
He had ordered his army to prepare for first-level war, informed the imperial capital, and informed the emperor of his judgment.
Just when Binghan I was about to summon the Tang Empire's ambassador to the Binghan Empire, the Tang ambassador sent the Tang Empire's credential declaring war.
Binghan I was also preparing to make one last effort. He hoped to make the Tang Empire change its mind and give up this war by paying tribute.
But all efforts failed. The ambassador of the Tang Dynasty rejected the request for peace talks and gave the dwarves a ridiculous reason: the intelligence department of the Tang Empire had conclusive evidence that the dwarves were aiding Dorne.
This reason sounds very legitimate. After all, it is known to everyone that the Tang Empire is at war with Dorne. If the dwarves really fall into the trap and let their aid to Dorne be exposed, then the Tang Kingdom is indeed qualified to ask the dwarves
declare war.
But the problem is, there are so many countries on the Eastern Continent that are aiding Dorne. The Tang Empire actually knows about it, but why does it only declare war on my family, the Ice Empire?
Also, your Tang Empire's attack on Dorne this year was like a joke. You didn't even take it seriously. Sometimes you didn't even conduct air strikes once a month. Now you say I'm cold.
Isn't the Empire's unforgivable crime of aiding Dorne a bit excessive?
Unfortunately, there is no place in this world to reason, and no one dares to stand up and comment, so the dwarves can only mobilize and prepare for war.
Because there was some intelligence support, the mobilization work of the Ice Empire started a few days ago. Countless dwarves were recruited, assembled and began training.
"The Tang Empire declared war on the Ice Empire..." Lions II breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news.
"The Tang Empire's goal is the Ice Empire..." Dorne Emperor Dorne I also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.
Yangmu I of the Yangmu Empire was also relieved a lot: after all, his son-in-law did not take action against his father-in-law.
Only General Moss became nervous. On the first day of July, he heard a definite piece of information from the navy: a reconnaissance patrol ship had lost contact.
Looking at the location on the map, he knew that there was a huge fleet nearby with no end in sight that was advancing menacingly towards his steel barrier.
"Let all the troops enter the position, check the material reserves, and send more ammunition and food to the front-line positions as soon as possible." Moss looked at the officers around him and ordered: "Air strikes may come at any time...
…Gentlemen, the time has come to put us to the test.”
"Losing contact at this position proves that the opponent's attack target is most likely our steel barrier area." He looked at his men, with his back to the map, but he tapped the location of the fortification area on the map hanging on the wall with the back of his hand:
"Basically consistent with our judgment, the Tang Army is unwilling to give up the number and performance advantages of land-based fighters. They believe that these advantages can offset our fortification advantage."
"I am very confident in the defense line I built, so now all I have to do is wait, wait for our opponents to arrive, and then see whether our copper and iron walls can shatter the teeth of the Tang Empire, or whether they can
Chew us up." After he finished speaking, he made a departure gesture to everyone: "Fight to the end for the empire! Ula!"
"Hurrah!" All the dwarf officers stood at attention and saluted, and then walked out of Moss's headquarters. As they left, the headquarters became much emptier. However, there were continuous sounds of transmissions and calls.
, still telling everyone that the war is coming!
Following orders one after another, the dwarf soldiers in the barracks began to enter the position. At the anti-aircraft gun position, the artillery loaders began to move the ammunition from the underground bunkers behind them to convenient locations.
The commanders ended their vacations and moved into their temporary headquarters one after another. The atmosphere of the steel barrier was exactly like its name, cold and majestic.
Half of the outer wall of the vertical reinforced concrete fortress is exposed outside the mountain. In the deep black horizontal machine gun hole, you can vaguely see the muzzle of the machine gun pointing towards the beach. The dwarf soldiers stationed inside the fortress stared at the distant sea, waiting.
waiting for their enemies to arrive.
After such a long period of preparation, the dwarves' defense line is absolutely impregnable in a sense: their investment is much greater than that of countries such as Dorne and Lions.
With a truly thick barrier, a ring of machine gun bunkers, artillery that is enough to cover the beach, and countless shells and supplies, this barrier is ten times stronger than the barrier that the Tang Empire troops smashed in the past.
hundred times.
Water cutoff? The water reserve is enough for the troops to use for a long time. Power cutoff? More than 70% of the fortresses and tunnels can operate without power.
This was not Moss's intentional design for the Tang Empire's play style, but because it was too troublesome to build such a huge circuit and water pipe facility, and the dwarf construction team had no time to do it.
However, this also increased the self-sustainability of the dwarf defense lines, allowing these fortress defense lines to continue fighting for a period of time after being surrounded or cut off from supply.
