Chapter 1670: 1671 I can’t lose my face anymore
Chapter 16701671 I can’t lose my face anymore
On the TV, Tang Jun’s reporter was interviewing a dwarf farmer who had suffered a lot of injustice. The bearded farmer was crying while telling how he was robbed by the dwarf soldiers.
"The other side didn't leave me a way to survive at all. They took away all my food and the iron pot. If you hadn't come, I don't know how I would have survived." The farmer looked at the camera with tears in his eyes. Twinkle, his tone full of gratitude.
Tang Jun did give him some food and promised to provide production materials so that they could continue farming next year. Even because of the land equalization policy of the Tang army, local farmers were allocated more land without the oppression of landlords.
“This is Mengxi Village, which is only 110 kilometers away from Ironforge. War correspondent Li Shiqi reports for you.” The female reporter finally emphasized where she was. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, she was indeed standing here.
The village in front of me is less than 5 kilometers away from the front line, and there is really a war going on over there. It's just that the Tang army is attacking, and the dwarf troops can only defend themselves.
“Thank you for your hard work.” The officer from the propaganda department of the army who specially sent these reporters here for interviews smiled and applauded. His mission today was considered to be successfully completed.
“Thank you very much for cooperating with us to complete the interview mission.” The female reporter showed a sweet smile, which made the soldiers on guard around them feel as if there were deer bumping around in their chests.
There is no other way. I haven’t been home for more than a year. Naturally, I feel a little distracted when I see such a beautiful woman. The discipline of the Tang Army is really very good, and the commanders also attach great importance to the construction and maintenance of this aspect.
What's more, this is the Ice Empire. Even if there is a madman with evil thoughts in his mind, he can calm down immediately when he sees those dwarf women.
So, I heard that a hungry Marine broke into a female elf's house in Rewind Port and was shot for committing the crime. But in the Ice Empire, nothing like this has happened yet.
In fact, very few families in the Ice Empire can afford a TV, and those dwarf nobles in the Ice Empire who can afford a TV can rarely watch Tang TV channels.
There are actually only a few dwarven TV channels, and there are no new TV programs now. The front lines have collapsed like that, so how much effort can the TV stations in the rear have to produce decent TV content?
The TV always plays some outdated programs and few people want to watch it. In the news, two hosts always emphasize the scene of the frontline still being victorious. Anyway, for the dwarf leaders, as long as the cannonballs don't fall on their heads, the lies can continue.
"But the problem is, the cannonball is about to fall on my head!" Binghan I, who was extremely annoyed, cursed at a group of generals standing in front of him: "You can't even hold off the Tang army for half a month! Not even there!”
"At this rate, next month... before October 20th, the Tang army may arrive at the city! The winter battle plan will go bankrupt!" He walked back and forth, his beard trembling as he spoke.
The dwarves have drawn up a winter defensive battle plan. In the opinion of these generals, the dwarves who are accustomed to winter battles will obviously have an advantage at that time.
If this winter is even colder, they may even take advantage of the weather conditions to launch a counterattack and defeat the Tang Army, which has no winter combat experience, in one fell swoop.
But the problem is that we have to stick to that time point, right? The Tang army was already close to Ironforge at the end of September. When November comes, whether Ironforge can be defended is still a question mark. "Your Majesty, calm down! Several armies are trying to delay time, and their state... this is the best result." The prime minister said a few words of persuasion, and finally calmed Binghan I down.
As a matter of fact, everyone knows what the state of those group armies is. There is no food, no ammunition, no heavy weapons and equipment, and no supplies at all...
In this case, they can continue to fight, which is already a very heroic performance. It's just that the defeat and robbery along the way have really damaged the Ice Empire's character a lot.
"Now we still have two main forces that have not participated in the war. Together with the several armies that have retreated, we can set up a posture on the front line of Ironforge to fight the Tang army. There will be no problem in persisting until winter comes." Finally, the prime minister gave make your own judgment.
Thinking about the 3rd and 13th armies stationed in Ironforge, Binghan I's face looked somewhat better. He does still have a trump card and something to rely on.
It’s just that when the two armies join the war, the lies on the radio will really be exposed: it will be him, the emperor, who will be slapped in the face.
Now, the radio is still repeatedly emphasizing that the enemy is still hundreds of kilometers away...but in fact, the Tang Army's forward is only 100 kilometers away from Ironforge.
"When the Tang army's artillery shells fall into Ironforge, our faces will be..." Binghan I snorted and looked at the generals who lowered their heads and said nothing.
“I’m sure I can’t save my face, Your Majesty...but if we persist until winter, we might still be able to wait for a turn.” The prime minister lowered his head and reminded.
The winter in the Ice Empire is still very exaggerated. The widespread snowfall will affect the transportation dispatch in the north. The north occupied by the Tang Army will almost certainly be affected by the disaster, and will definitely be more passive than the area south of Ironforge.
As long as the Tang army's offensive slows down, the coalition hopes to continue to deploy troops: troops from Dorne, Lions, Sussus and other countries can calmly move northward, changing the balance of power between the two sides.
So, as for the dwarves, as long as you persist, there is a way! As long as Ironforge can hold on for one to two months, the coalition will have at least three new armies to join the battle!
And that’s at least! If you think about it too much, it will be five or even ten armies! Tang Junhui will find that everything has changed after winter is over!
Thinking of this, Binghan I clenched his fists: "We must defend Ironforge at all costs! If it doesn't work, mobilize civilians to build anti-tank trenches! Let them dig trenches!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! I suggest mobilizing 100,000 civilians immediately to participate in the construction of fortifications. This is safer." A group of generals gave more professional advice.
The Tang army moved south too fast. If we don't find more people to work, if the enemy comes before the fortifications are completed, wouldn't it be a mess?
As for the face... I can’t have it anymore.
