As the largest and most realistic and urgent imaginary enemy in the eyes of the elves, all intelligence information about Charlemagne is an object of interest to Alfheim. For a long time, the Ve Company fleet has been delivering goods to various places in Charlemagne.
Charlemagne's topographic and landform mapping, local customs, mineral distribution and output, agricultural soil conditions and other information are continuously sent back to Alfheim. The most direct consequence is - civilian Charlemagne in the hands of the elves.
The map was a hundred times more accurate than Charlemagne's own military maps.
With such a huge amount of information, it should be enough to complete the planning of the war plan, but Li Lin and the staff officers he trained have been slow to complete this matter because of the lack of a decisive factor.
The decisive factor was the vague data on Charlemagne's military mobilization capacity and economic potential.
"The war of the future will no longer be an idyllic play house. The new war will not only be a head-on confrontation between combat troops and equipment, but also a confrontation between the military production, technological development and logistics support capabilities of both combatants. Soldiers, equipment,
If there is a shortcoming in any aspect of food supplies, the entire combat system will be affected and destroyed."
The top commander of the Yalfheim armed forces said quietly, and Tyr, who often visited the factory floor to supervise military production, added: [
"That kind of war is different from the past [Knight's War]. It will only be a [total war] in which the fate of every citizen is closely connected with the country. The problem is that neither the space nor the resources are on our side."
Fheim does not have the conditions for a full-scale war."
Therefore, the elves have only one choice of military solution to the problem - once the war breaks out, quickly transform Agen Tolatong into a comprehensive wartime economic system, hoping for a quick victory in military adventure.
Although the total amount of resources controlled by the elves is at a disadvantage, it will take some time for human countries to realize their potential advantages. Before that, the defense force will fully combine its own technical equipment and provide enemy forces with resources from the beginning of the war.
The first strategic echelon struck decisively and then launched a full-speed assault into Charlemagne's hinterland, capturing the country before it could mobilize and use its military and economic power.
Next, what the elves have to do is to concentrate all of Charlemagne's military, economic power and war potential in a short period of time through military occupation and cruel plunder and oppression. Launch another full-scale attack before other opponents have fully mobilized and completed combat preparations.
, through diplomatic means, let the United Principality of Rus launch a diversionary attack on Lapland, and on the premise of avoiding a two-front battle, rely on continuous assaults to knock down the opponents to the ground before they can react.
This new war model is the theoretical framework of war commonly known as [bltzkreg], and it is also the most suitable war model for elves so far.
"To realize such a strategic vision requires three indispensable factors, the number of advanced technological weapons in our hands, the specific industrial production capacity, and the degree of control of all Charlemagne's resources, including labor."
All along, Li Lin, like the close friend and royal architect of the head of state, has managed the production of the core military industry enterprise of Ve Company like a modern large enterprise. Similarly, the top commander of the National Defense Forces also attaches great importance to the optimal use of resources.
There is no need to mention the importance of various minerals and agricultural products and the occupation plan. Li Lin specifically asked Richelieu to open the national warehouses of various grain supplies and conduct spy mapping in the name of inspection. The purpose was also to enable future wars to be carried out after the outbreak of war.
Quickly seize these resources and put them into war consumption. The plundering of labor is the top priority, even to the extent of formulating separate plans to rationally allocate resources.
Although the National Defense Forces have been an army that likes to trade technology and tactics for human lives since the day it was founded, they know from the bottom of their hearts that the army is essentially an expensive consumable. As long as there is a war, there will be severe consumption.
Whether they can end the war before this kind of loss drags them down has become their biggest issue. For this reason, they have been
I have been seriously studying the mechanized swarm combat theory proposed by Li Lin. Recently, I have also made trial tanks such as Unit 1 and Unit 2, which are cross-generation works, but these two tanks are not liked by Li Lin.
, the fundamental reason is that these two designs lack [generalization], [standardization] and [important protection for precious drivers].
"The tank design team still failed to understand how cruel the war we were going to fight was. Before, I insisted on seeking universality in the design of the MS. In the final analysis, it was to ensure sufficient technological advancement while maximizing the inclusion of human labor.
In our military production process, young elves are liberated from mines, farmland, and factory assembly lines to provide a source of soldiers for the defense force."
In order to achieve this goal, in the plan of the General Staff, the available human labor force and prisoners of war in the occupied areas will be used as unpaid slave labor after being screened and simply trained and organized, thereby ensuring the front line.
While maintaining military strength, try not to affect military production. For this reason, the tank under design
, its power, transmission, tracks, road wheels and even suspension and sighting devices all need to achieve [universal standardization] so that on a production line, human workers can assemble products ranging from 5 tons to 10 tons at the same time by building blocks.
All combat vehicles from the ton level to the 100-ton level can meet the requirements of attrition warfare.
"In short, whether it is capturing Charlemagne, integrating resources, adjusting the design and manufacturing of tanks - all of this is preparation for a possible war of attrition. In order to make the group of granite heads in the General Armament Department understand this more deeply,
The tank development program has been officially renamed as the e-series development program."
"e...series?"
"The acronym for development (entwklung), the General Armament Department has submitted the draft plans for the 10-ton and 25-ton tank destroyers. The continuous supplementary lessons for those guys seem to have finally worked."
Supporting his chin with his right hand, the young man smiled and said:
"In comparison, the Air Force and Navy have a large initial investment, but they are the two units that give me the most peace of mind in the Defense Force system."
Hearing Li Linletian's self-deprecation, Tier could only smile bitterly in apology.
Leaving aside the air force, the elven navy... does not actually exist. Agen Tolaton is located inland, and Ve Company has not yet learned that a port city needs a navy for defense. The only department that has anything to do with water is
The shelf troops listed as [Fisheries Management Bureau], and several experimental water-based MSs, the scope of application of those trial models is not naval warfare, but amphibious assault.
