Chapter 1508: 1509Ready for action
"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 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 seems that we are not here anymore... Dorne also said they didn't find it... So, could it be the north?" The expression on the face of the imperial navy commander became wonderful. He really hoped that the Tang army would go to the north.
In addition to nothing happening on your own side, there is a lot of other fun to watch: if the Tang army was fighting the Yangmu Empire, then it would be the son-in-law picking on the father-in-law. It would be exciting! If the Tang army attacks the dwarf empire, it will be a battle between humans and dwarves, which will also be 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. He knew that the powerful enemy was just passing by, so of course he Happy.
…
"It's probably us." After repeatedly confirming that no trace of the Tang Army was found in the direction of Dorn and Lanes, Admiral Moss's expression was already quite heavy.
He has ordered his army to enter the first level of war preparations, notified 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 is also preparing to make a final effort. He hopes 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 in the Eastern Continent that are aiding Dorne. The Tang Empire actually knows about it, but why does it only declare war on our Bingbing 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.
With 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 a lot more relaxed: after all, his son-in-law did not attack his father-in-law.
Only General Moss became nervous. On the first day of July, he heard definite information from the navy: a reconnaissance patrol ship had lost contact.
Looking at the position on the map, he knew that there was a huge fleet nearby with no end in sight, and it 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 for us to be tested.”
"Losing contact at this location 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 wall with the map hanging on it 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 that is left is to 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 starting gesture to everyone: "Fight to the death for the empire!"
"Ula!" All the dwarf officers stood at attention and saluted, and then walked out of Moss's headquarters. With their departure, the headquarters became much emptier. However, the continuous sound of alarms and calls were still telling everyone that a war was imminent!
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 bunker behind them to a convenient location.
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 pointed at 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.
A truly thick barrier, with a ring of machine gun bunkers, artillery large enough to cover the beach, and countless shells and supplies, this barrier is ten times stronger than the barriers that were smashed by the Tang Empire's troops in the past. hundred times.
Hunting for water? The water reserves are enough for the troops to use for a long time. Power outage? More than 70% of the fortresses and tunnels can be operated without electricity.
This is not Moss’s intentional design for the Tang Empire’s play style, but because it is too troublesome to build such a huge circuit and water pipe facility, and the dwarf construction team has 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 supplies.
