Chapter 1728 1729 No longer reliable allies
“There are telephone lines connecting the entire defense line, and the generator equipment has also been concealed. More than half of the important facilities are in underground bunkers... In this regard, we have also fully considered the strike capabilities of the Tang Army.”
Originally, they were reinforcing the original defense lines, so many places existed before. For example, some tunnels, such as some bunkers inside mountains.
But there are also some things that need to be adjusted, the most critical of which are actually the so-called energy power and the ammunition reserve area. These places are the most vulnerable for a line of defense, so they are often protected intensively.
In the past, the defense lines built by the Yangmu Empire were aimed at dwarves, so they did not need to design these areas to be too hidden. In order to dissipate heat and emissions, these power plants and water supply facilities were often built on the surface, which was very fragile. .
So the elves need to transform and move these facilities further away, or even underground, to avoid the Tang army's air strikes.
This is indeed a huge project, but the elves do have the capital to complete this project: in today's border areas, supplies are really quite sufficient: these weapons that cannot be transported to the front line in time are piled up on the border , now these weapons are all used by the elves.
There are now countless heavy artillery here that were previously prepared to be transported to the territory of the Ice Empire. These large-caliber artillery have been piled up here due to the inconvenience of transportation, and now they are just taken out and placed on the defense line.
In addition, there are piles of ammunition here, as well as countless cotton-padded clothes and quilts, as well as all kinds of messy medicines.
Compared to the Ironforge War Zone, which lacks everything, there seems to be no shortage of anything here, even to the point of envy of the dwarves. At least one-third of the production capacity mobilized by the elves was piled on this defense line, which naturally looked spectacular.
Having learned from the dwarves’ failure, the elves prepared as much ammunition as possible. The entire border is now a large construction site, and countless people are working on this construction site, trying to build it stronger.
It's just that it's winter now, so the construction will be affected to a certain extent. The reinforced concrete fortifications built now are likely to crack due to climate reasons in summer and become no longer strong.
But these problems cannot stop the elves from building these fortifications: even if they are substandard, even if they are fake fortifications, they are still deadly enough.
After introducing the construction progress of the defense line, another general talked about the difficulties currently faced by the elves: "Half of the current military columns are transporting supplies to the border areas. What we need to worry about now is that the Tang Army has been advancing on the flanks. It's eating away at our border defenses. If they advance too quickly laterally, we'll have severely reduced defenses to exploit."
The Tang Army's attack in the direction of Rewind Port disrupted the Elf's plan to build a border defense line. As long as the Tang Army here advances eastward, the position of the Elf's defense line will change.
Therefore, the elves also took corresponding countermeasures. A general said to Yang Mu I: "The newly-built 2nd Army has already moved to the front line, and the 3rd Army has also left its base. The size of our troops is expanding. This That’s good news for us.”
He pointed to the flanks of the border defense line, that is, the side near Rewind Port, and continued: "With these troops, we can hold the existing defense line. By mid-December, the battle line will almost be stabilized."
At present, the elves have indeed blocked the Tang Army's advance in this direction, and the fronts of both sides have stabilized. This is mainly because the Tang Army is preparing to concentrate its forces and kick the Ice Empire out of the game first. The Foreign Minister pinched his chin and suggested to Yangmu I: "Every day the dwarves persist, we will have one more day to build the defense line. If they are willing, I think they can set up a 'government in exile' on our side. "
As an emperor, Yangmu I understood Binghan I's position, so he shook his head and expressed his opinion: "Binghan I can't leave his empire. If he really comes to us, Then the Ice Empire’s resistance will soon end.”
The dwarves who lost Ironforge can easily become a piece of loose sand. And if the emperor loses his banner, the dwarves will collapse even faster.
The high-level elves are probably aware of the tolerant policy of the Tang army. In this state, the dwarf areas will be quickly integrated by the Tang Empire, just like the Tang Empire integrated Qin, Chu, and Shu.
Maybe next spring, the coalition forces will see the "Tang Empire Troops" formed by the dwarves in the ranks of the Tang Army.
Therefore, Yangmu I did not want Binghan I to make a cowardly choice to escape. He hoped that the other party could fight to the end within the Binghan Empire: "Only by letting him stay within the Binghan Empire can he play his greatest role, so the 'Government in Exile' 'There is no need to discuss it."
If possible, it would be best for the dwarf emperor to insist on fighting guerrillas in the southeast region and use the mountainous areas to contain some of the Tang Empire's troops, which can also reduce some pressure on the elves.
After finishing speaking, Yangmu I looked at the map and expressed his worries: "The most important thing now is to find a way to establish an equally stable front on the Rewind Port side. Because if there is a problem in this direction, then our The border defense line is useless.”
His general immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the 7th Army has been replenished, and the 8th Army and the 1st Army are building a new line of defense behind it. Relying on the mountains, they should be able to establish a solid line of defense."
"The problem now is how to arrange the human troops from Lines and Sussus." Another general said what he was more worried about: "Your Majesty, from a certain point of view, these human troops None of them are worthy of trust... Once they rebel like before, our defense line will fall apart in an instant. "
"So, we can only put them on the second line as reserves, or put them in front of the defense line as cannon fodder... Our own elves should be used within the defense line." Finally, he expressed his thoughts.
Yang Mu I held his chin and fell into deep thought: if he was placed in the front line as cannon fodder, his allies would definitely have objections, but if he was placed in the second line as a reserve team and let the elves' own soldiers fight **** battles in the front, he felt that he was at a disadvantage, so he was not sure for a while. idea.
In the end, he decided to speak clearly with Lions II and Susus I. He hoped that the other party would understand his choice... to voluntarily place his troops in more dangerous places.
Of course, this kind of thing still requires the other party to voluntarily do it, but the elves, especially Yangmu I himself, do not dare to put those humans from the south in important positions: because the fate of Ironforge is... There, he didn't want his capital to be surrounded by enemies.
If the other party is not willing, then he can use "putting allies on the second line" as a bargaining chip in exchange for more supplies.
