In an office that didn't look too big, the dwarf prime minister was sitting behind his desk, looking at the visiting imperial chief of staff, General Larbu.
Larbu, who had just learned of a huge event, was a little anxious. He placed some documents on the prime minister's desk and said: "Your Excellency, the prime minister, the elves' frontline air force is being transferred back to the country... This news needs to be
Don’t tell His Majesty?”
It was impossible to hide the fact that the elves had transferred many advanced jet fighters. The dwarves soon found out about the matter. Someone reported the news to Larbu, who immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
.
After a series of failures, the coalition forces began to show signs of fighting on their own. The situation of uniting to resist the Tang army seemed to be about to collapse. This was not good news for the dwarves fighting head-on.
The prime minister lowered his head and looked at the document, then took off the spectacles on the bridge of his nose. After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't think it's necessary. You can ask Marquis Lane and ask him what's going on."
Recently, many things have begun to be hidden from Emperor Binghan I, because the battle situation outside Ironforge is indeed too ugly.
The dwarves were squeezed in three directions and lost a series of defense lines. The train station to the west was almost undefendable, and the residential area to the east was also lost. I heard that the north was also very vulnerable.
Passively, the Tang Army's tanks had already rushed into the city.
Under such circumstances, it is meaningless to report the battle situation to Binghan I. In order to persuade Binghan I to retreat south, everyone had truthfully reported the battle situation for a period of time, but Binghan I was already determined to stay in Iron Furnace.
The fort was closed, so everyone had no intention of scaring him anymore.
The problem is that they are no longer trying to scare him: the Tang Army's howitzers can cover more than 90% of Ironforge's area, and the other side may surprise the Ice Empire at any time.
As long as a hundred or so artillery pieces are gathered together and two basic numbers of ammunition are prepared, almost everyone in Ironforge will know the fact that the Tang army has invaded Ironforge.
Seeing the prime minister's businesslike appearance, Larbu said truthfully: "I asked, and he said that the elves are planning a counterattack against Rewind Port and need to concentrate more air power."
"Do you think this explanation is reasonable?" the prime minister asked with a disdainful sneer, playing with his reading glasses.
Larbu was not a fool. He immediately shook his head and expressed his opinion: "Obviously, they did this to preserve their strength, not for some bullshit Rewind Port."
Because the Port of Rewind has been lost, the loss of a Port of Rewind for the elves is far from damaging. But if the dwarves lose Ironforge, the strategic situation will be completely different.
Anyone who is not a fool can tell which is more important. At this time, it would be extremely stupid to draw troops from Ironforge to support Rewind Port.
The prime minister put down the reading glasses in his hand. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for the elves' stupidity or the dwarves' unfortunate national fate: "I hope they won't regret their decision today. In fact, no matter how they preserve their strength, they will not regret it."
, it’s of no use.”
"Yes, in the current situation, do they still think that the Tang army will stop going south and let their empire rest and recuperate in peace for decades?" Larbu also didn't understand the other party's behavior.
The prime minister is very good at understanding people's hearts. Ti Elf explained: "But General Larbu, if it were you, you wouldn't waste all your strength on the doorstep of your neighbor's house."
"..." I wanted to retort a few words, but Larbu choked up in the end. Those words that went against human nature were still unable to be uttered.
"The war situation on our side is almost hopeless. You must know better than me what the state of Ironforge is. I won't be surprised if the Tang army rushes into the city tomorrow." The prime minister said.
As he spoke, he looked at the surrounding walls.
This is a basement, and of course there are no windows or anything like that. The dim light makes his eyes worse, and the turbid air is also tormenting him as an old man.
Compared with the outside environment, the environment here is pretty good. At least there are some paintings hanging on the walls to adjust the atmosphere, and there are waiters who can bring drinks and food. But the place is still cramped, still depressing, and always reminds people of...
The swaying destiny of the icy empire.
"But, Mr. Prime Minister, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops fighting in Ironforge. We can still persist. Winter is coming soon. The Tang army will be defeated by the severe cold. We will definitely win the final victory."
The battle situation was already very passive, but Larbu still felt that there was a possibility of victory.
According to the military's plan, as soon as winter comes, the main force of the Tang Army, which has a large number of night fighting troops trapped in the wild, will naturally suffer heavy losses. By then, they will be able to stabilize their front, at least until the beginning of next spring.
Many people who are muddle along feel that if the outcome is determined by then, even if Ironforge is lost, it will be next year and there is no need to rush now...
The prime minister poured cold water on him: "It's a good idea. The question is, are we ready for the coming of winter? Your army, or Xieko's army, Balov's army, all have enough fuel, and
Winter coat?”
"..." Larbu was speechless again. As far as he knew, the dwarf troops had indeed not made preparations for the winter. Although the city was not completely surrounded, few supplies were actually transported from the south to Ironforge.
Here it is.
On the one hand, the changes in the war situation have caused Ironforge to gradually lose direct control over other areas, and various places have begun to consider their own small calculations; on the other hand, the dwarves' industrial system has completely collapsed, and there are actually not that many supplies left.
Transferred to Ironforge to support the city defense.
Before the dwarves fought against the elves, many industrial facilities were built in the north for safety: because from the beginning, Datang Group's aid project started from Everwinter Port and extended to the hinterland of the dwarf-controlled area.
Large-scale oil refining equipment, mines, steel plants, supporting machinery repair shops... so many heavy industries are all in the north, or most of them are concentrated in the north. Now these areas have been occupied by the Tang army, and the dwarf industrial system is not
It would be strange to collapse so quickly.
Over the years, the factories built by the dwarves themselves after driving away the Tang Group, as well as the production line equipment later purchased from the Tang Empire, have been placed near Ironforge because it is relatively safer.
