In the south, the weather began to gradually warm up after entering the second half of the rainy month, and the muddy land in the principality gradually became smooth. However, in the far north at the end of the world, everything was still covered with white snow, and it was irritating to look at it.
The flawless white color that hurts the eyes.
Due to the extreme cold and the lack of rich fishery resources and minerals, few people visit this place. Except for seals, white bears, and dangerous species in extreme cold areas, almost no traces of life can be found, but——
The propeller stirred the air, and the low buzzing sound scared the seals basking on the ice and hid in the water. The white bear walked out from the shadow of the rocks, cast a dissatisfied glance at the cigar-shaped monster in the sky, and turned to go down.
A hunting ground.
Amidst the rumbling sound, part of the mountain separated to the left and right, and a bottomless dark tunnel appeared in the white world. The lights were turned on one after another, illuminating the entrance that seemed to lead to the depths of the earth. The luminous signal lights were fired to induce air warships to enter the harbor.
With the code word, the Derflinger-class battleship steadily adjusted its direction and sailed into the hidden port.
Cheyenne Meteorological Observation Base.
This is the name of a secret base, named after the underground base built by the United States of America in another world in the Rocky Mountains. But judging from the name alone, this is just a meteorological force, in order to deal with the United States and the Red Empire's planting of seeds all over the world.
Mushrooms, a base specially built to monitor the prevention and control situation on the North American continent, seem to have some differences in place name and value, which makes it difficult to imagine the intention of the namer.
It’s not that meteorological troops are unimportant, on the contrary. Meteorological information is very important for war decisions. When will the army group on the swamp front launch an attack? When will the divisions across the strait land? What troops are expected to be mobilized to the other front by rail next week
Whether it will be affected by a blizzard; whether a certain raiding fleet can use the cover of bad weather to break into the ocean... These decisions all require reliable long-term weather forecasts as a reference.
It is for this reason that in addition to various conventional and unconventional troops, the Alfheim Defense Force also established the world's first professional weather forecasting force. On the vast grasslands of the United Principality of Ross, Albion's
The white cliffs, Charlemagne's bushes, and under the windmills of Castile... all have the footprints of the meteorological troops, and this inaccessible white land is the top priority of meteorological work.
From the principality's Nova Island to the extreme north of Muspelheim, it has always been an important source of cold cyclones in the northern hemisphere. It has a decisive influence on the climate of the Western Hemisphere north of the equator. Almost all cold cyclones sweeping through the territories of the two camps have
is generated from this area. More intuitive
The weather in Muspelheim is the weather in the Northern Ocean two days later. The weather in Spitsbergen is the weather three days after the front line between the Principality and the human nations. Therefore, whoever controls this area will
Take control of the world's most reliable source of weather information.
Based on the consideration of controlling meteorological information and the difficulty of building a base in Muspelheim, the world's first meteorological base was finally built in Spitsbergen to deploy weather ships and observation facilities, and also served as
Ocean submarine base.
——It seems so on the surface. Behind the scenes, this base is a place for the construction, management, and operation of certain special equipment.
"stand at attention!"
Underground 1.6 kilometers above the ground, the officer on duty shouted loudly. The controller, secretary, and guards all straightened their bodies and saluted. After the consul in military uniform returned the salute, everyone was once again immersed in the overwhelming busyness.
Protected by more than ten layers of armor and layers of security facilities, the base control center is filled with a hot atmosphere that is different from the underground space. Six large image screens embedded in the wall are feeding back various data. Thirty people below
The above controllers were busy with their respective terminals and the punched calculation paper that was constantly spitting out. Everyone was immersed in their work. Occasionally, there were whispered reports and exchanges, but there was no nonsense.
"Only on behalf of all members of this base, I welcome your visit!"
At the rear of the control area, like in the command room with seats on the second floor of a theater, Major General Werner Heisenberg lowered his arms and made a "please" gesture toward the commander's seat.
When he received the order to go to the Cheyenne base to report on his duties, he and his colleagues thought it was a disguised exile. However, it was not until he stepped on the ground of the base that he knew that he had been given an assignment that only a few people in the army knew about.
A major secret mission. The new generation of generals who are full of ambitions for their lives immediately rekindled the fire in their hearts.
Nodding towards Heisenberg, Li Lin sat down on the commander's seat and stared at the icon of the distant land on the big screen. Along the boundaries drawn by nature and manpower, various arrows with numbers gathered together, tens of thousands of soldiers.
, dozens of times more materials are now clearly displayed in the form of charts and numbers.
"In war, we need to leave room for unfortunate and unforeseen surprises. This also includes the means to deal with these surprises."
Her fingers slowly tapped on the leather armrest, and her elegant smile was teasing.
The crown prince's little move was not unexpected. For a young politician, it is quite good to be able to formulate such a series of tricks. Compared with those useless nobles and political professionals,
He can be classified into the excellent category.
However, his method is not clever.
The crown prince failed to see potential strategic risks, and did not consider what would happen if the plan failed. In other words, even if he saw it, he ignored it. He was too focused on personal gains and losses, and completely ignored the consequences of his actions in the long run.
What.
——Short-sighted and narrow-minded.
This is a mistake only young and energetic people make.
If he had practiced for a few more years and accumulated enough experience, he would not have been so impatient. He would have stopped and looked around, assessing the relative strength of various countries and potential powerful relationships besides Charlemagne. Then, he would have looked back.
Look, how could you arrange everything so smoothly?
This war was by no means an opportunity to seize the opportunity; for the Dauphin and Charlemagne, it was a terrible disaster.
In the past thousand years, various countries have established a collaborative system to jointly fight against the orc camp based on religious beliefs and racial justice, and obeyed the call of the Pope. The most powerful support throughout this process is, first, ideology, and second, national interests.
However, this is not the case in this war against the Principality. Inadvertently, the past international system has been broken, and the way it was broken is so ironic - the Holy Alliance was established to respond to the Principality's offensive, and at the same time, the contradictions within the alliance were resolved
It is controlled within a certain range to facilitate Ymir's exercise of leadership. Now, the two strongest members of this alliance actually provoked a war against the principality on their own, and then the Pope endorsed them.
The old international framework has begun to loosen. Although it still takes time, the actions of various countries are no longer bound by religious morals, but act for the purpose of naked national interests. After that, it is necessary to stir up the nerves of various countries.
, it’s much easier.
No... you don't even need to provoke him, Charlemagne will kill himself.
Consumption of restless elements? This will only accelerate the movement of Ostoria and St. Stephen's Crown Territory towards other forces; nationalizing the railways? The Manchu Qing government also did this, and the result was that even the most moderate reformists in the country
They have completely lost patience with that regime, and it has become the consensus of everyone to overthrow and destroy that ** government; they refuse to save Albion and sit down.
Do you think the Red Shirts suffered heavy losses? That will undoubtedly lead to the result. Albion will take the lead in the anti-Charlemagne alliance. In order to prevent a powerful Charlemagne from unifying the continent, it will not hesitate to unite all those who can be united.
Force to complete this thing, even if the other party is an orc or an elf, but it was originally unable to do this under the constraints of religious morality.
Soon, a "powerful" Charlemagne will rise, and all countries and regions will look at him with hostility, hoping that the cooperation of various countries and the power of nature will eliminate this devil - just like the entire world in the early 19th century on earth.
In order to bring down the monsters in Europe, the orcs, the wolf monsters, the Corsican upstarts, the French
Like the Emperor Napoleon, he used heads for heads to eliminate these restless guys, and at the same time drained his own blood, and then watched exhaustedly as an elf country a hundred times more powerful than Charlemagne appeared. After he was tired of the war,
Amid the cheers of the ignorant people, a new order was established from the ruins...
In the end, countries, religions, and Charlemagne are all just tools to achieve their goals. The fate of the tools will not change in any way. Regardless of success or failure, once it is not in the owner's interest, it becomes a hindrance.
, garbage that needs to be cleaned up.
Everything is going smoothly, but it does not mean that it is foolproof. In order to deal with possible accidents, it is necessary for Alfheim to prepare some backup means.en)".
On the display terminal, a giant object similar to a dish antenna was gradually taking shape. Looking at the most terrifying weapon of destruction in the history of this world, Li Lin smiled silently. (To be continued...)
