Chapter 703: The Situation of the War
The country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented.
Soldiers come from the people, and they are no exception.
News of the two victories at the Battle of Hawaii quickly spread to every corner of the Condor Empire, making the people and military of the Empire proud, and many rejoicing and proud to be part of the Condor Empire.
However, when the general public was celebrating the victory in Hawaii, there was one person who had not slept well for several days, and this person was Ning Yuan.
Originally, it was a very happy thing for his side to win, but when Bai Ze found Ning Yuan and reported to him the food reserves of the Condor Empire, the smile on Ning Yuan's face immediately disappeared.
Although the Condor Empire occupies Vietnam, the Philippines and other areas rich in natural resources, they are now fighting on four fronts, and they have invested nearly tens of millions of troops in the four theaters.
Moreover, the four-front operation mentioned did not include the Lost Continent, after all, the Army of the Coalition of the Americas did not land on the Lost Continent, and the enemy and us only had a naval duel.
The current four major theaters mainly refer to the West Siberian Theater, the Vietnam Theater, the Kalimantan Island Theater, and the China Theater.
In the West Siberian Theater, although the Russian players and the Kazakh players formed allies, in the face of the Punishment Legion led by Ji Wushuang, not only did they not take any advantage, but on the contrary, they were also beaten several beautiful annihilation battles by the Punishment Legion.
For Ji Wushuang, who has full loyalty, Ning Yuan directly chooses to delegate power, so Ji Wushuang has absolute autonomy in the Siberian region.
Faced with the heavy forces that the enemy had assembled in the border area, Ji Wushuang adopted the strategy and tactics of defensive counterattack in the early stage of the war.
The infantry defended strategic points, and the cavalry blossomed everywhere.
With strict military discipline, advanced weapons and equipment, and excellent individual combat ability, the Punishment Corps stubbornly repelled wave after wave of enemy attacks.
And when implementing the defensive strategy, Ji Wushuang was not idle.
He took advantage of the nature of the Condor Empire as a multi-racial empire to subdue the indigenous orc tribes located in the deep mountains and forests of Siberia.
Orcs will never be slaves unless they are fed and sheltered.
Siberia is located in a bitter cold region, and although it is rich in natural resources, many places are not able to engage in agricultural activities due to low temperatures.
Most Russian players are also reluctant to go there, especially in the northern, eastern and northern regions, preferring the Eastern European Plain west of the Ural Mountains to Siberia.
As a result, the deep mountains and old forests of Siberia were occupied by some indigenous orcs who lived by fishing and hunting.
Although the orcs are good at fishing and hunting, none of the animals that can survive in the bitter cold land are given for free, so food is the top priority for every orc tribe related to whether the tribe can continue.
In order to survive, the orcs can be said to be all year round, even in the winter when the mountains are covered with heavy snow, they have to brave the cold to go out in search of food.
However, even with their efforts, the food they received was barely enough to make ends meet.
It's too hard to fill your stomach, especially the bear-people and boar-people, who are known for their large appetites, and there are only a handful of days when they can eat well throughout the year.
After learning about the situation of the orc tribes in Siberia, Ji Wushuang immediately prescribed the right medicine.
When the orc envoys he sent out promised the other party that as long as they were willing to join the Condor Empire, then the Condor Empire would provide them with enough food, all the orc tribes who got the news went to Ji Wushuang.
Ji Wushuang expected that some orcs would succumb to food, but he didn't expect that the charm of food would be so great.
In the face of a crowd of people wrapped in bags, Ji Wushuang was not willing to break his promise, so he placed all the orc tribes that had joined the Condor Empire on the west side of Lake Baikal, and asked Queen Katerina of the North Sea Country to help settle those orcs.
After placing the orcs, Ji Wushuang immediately drew some strong men from those orcs and formed the Punishment Orc Legion.
The orcs of Siberia have been fighting all kinds of ferocious beasts and harsh natural environments all year round, and they not only have a strong physique and excellent personal strength, but also have a courageous momentum.
After arming the orcs with weapons and equipment brought from the Condor Empire, an orc legion that terrifies Russian and Kazakh players alike has officially stepped onto the stage of history.
Punish the Tiger Legion, all the Tiger Warriors in the Legion are not only masters of sneak attacks and stealth, but also masters of hand-to-hand combat, and their individual combat ability is so strong that Ji Wushuang is shocked.
Punish the Werewolf Legion, whose desperate endurance and unwavering tenacity make it impossible to live or die for the foes they target.
Punish the Wild Boar Legion, each of whom is strong and strong, and when they charge, they act like little tanks, terrifying the enemy.
The Legion of the Guilty Bears is made up of the Bears and the Polar Bears, who themselves call them the Black and White Towers, and their enemies call them the Black and White Twin Towers.
Armed with giant shields and maces, these terrifying giants instantly became an impregnable wall of despair for all enemies, and no one could break through their defenses from the front.
The Punishment Special Legion is composed of other orc tribes such as foxmen and leopard people, who are mainly responsible for detecting the enemy's situation, going deep behind enemy lines to carry out sabotage, and also participating in various ambush battles.
After forming the Punishment Orc Legion, Ji Wushuang immediately turned from defense to offense and launched a ferocious attack on the enemy.
Faced with the invincible black and white twin towers, the Russians had to retreat to the Ural Mountains after heavy losses, and then rely on some castles built on precipitous terrain to resist the attack of the Condor.
And the Kazakh players, after suffering several defeats, also had to withdraw from the Western Siberian region to regain strength.
Just as they were about to regroup, the Tigermen of the Linhai Empire suddenly launched an invasion against them.
In the face of a strong army of tigermen, Kazakh players had to spend their main energy on the tigermen, while in the northern theater of operations, they adopted a strategy of shrinking on all fronts.
Originally, when the Russian players retreated to the Ural Mountains and the Kazakh players also retreated to their hometowns to take a defensive position, it was a perfect opportunity for the Punishment Legion to advance in a big way, but Ji Wushuang ordered the army to withdraw to the Ob and Irtysh River valleys.
It's not that Ji Wushuang doesn't want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the logistics of the Condor Army are starting to be a little oversupplied, so Ji Wushuang can only choose to temporarily rest the troops.
Although Ning Yuan had already set up a transportation corps specifically responsible for transportation in the early years, he also minimized the consumption of grain and grass materials during transportation.
However, Western Siberia was too far away from the mainland of the Condor Empire, and the transport corps had to transport grain and grass supplies to the North Sea Country first, and then use special wagons to transport them to the front line.
Snow begins in September in Siberia and lasts for most of the year until the following spring.
In other words, there are only more than five months of time a year that are suitable for fleet transportation, and once the road is closed by heavy snow, logistics will become very difficult.
Although for snow transportation, the craftsman group of the Condor Empire has developed special sleds, and also domesticated a large number of sled dogs, ensuring that the transportation corps can carry out normal transportation activities in the cold winter.
But sleds are far from horse-drawn carriages, both in speed and in terms of transport volume, and the consumption of transport corps in winter will become greater.
In addition, there are countless more big stomach kings in Ji Wushuang's punishment army, so after the Siberian region enters winter, the supply of the front line is somewhat tight.
If the Legion of Punishment continues to expand, then the Legion at the forefront is likely to run out of food.
Faced with this unfavorable situation, Ji Wushuang was also very considerate of the difficulties of the Transport Legion, so after he withdrew the army to the Two Rivers Valley, he immediately restored the orc legion to the state of fishing and hunting.
The Ob and Irtysh rivers are rich in fish, and the nearby primeval forests are home to a variety of animals.
The soldiers who went out fishing and hunting got a lot of harvest every day, and the food they obtained themselves, plus the food brought by the transport corps, was enough for them to hold out until the beginning of the spring of the following year.
......
In the Vietnamese county of the Condor Empire, in the face of the invasion of the multinational coalition forces in Southeast Asia, the players of the Condor Empire fought extremely hard.
Many players in the Condor Empire are northerners, and they are very unaccustomed to tropical climates.
In the rainforest, players often experience non-combat attrition, which greatly affects their combat effectiveness.
Even if Ning Yuan sent the Second Legion of the Tenglong Army over, it failed to fundamentally change this unfavorable situation.
In desperation, players can only cooperate with the aboriginal legions to hold some important cities and fortresses, and give up some easy and difficult places to defend to the enemy.
Under the initiative of the players of the Condor Empire, the Southeast Asian coalition army is advancing all the way.
And at this time, the player forces in Huaxia District, who had been peeping on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, finally couldn't help it, and they sent troops to attack Vietnam County, wanting to get a piece of the action from the Southeast Asian coalition forces.
In the face of those Chinese player forces who came to pick peaches, although the Southeast Asian coalition forces were very angry, they did not clash with the Chinese player forces, but acquiesced to the other party's behavior.
In this way, after the Huaxia player forces joined, the situation in Vietnam County became more unfavorable.
Ning Yuan saw that the situation was unfavorable, and originally wanted to transfer an army from the Condor Empire to support, but after looking around one by one, he couldn't find a suitable target.
Most of the local troops of the Condor Empire are used to living in cold regions, and if Leng Buding transfers them to the tropics, I am afraid that they will be extremely uncomfortable, and may even fall ill en masse, so Ning Yuan does not dare to take this risk.
So he planned to wait for the situation on the Lost Continent to stabilize and transfer an army from the Lost Continent over.
However, before he could transfer troops, the Condor Empire suddenly encountered the problem of insufficient food reserves.
The Vietnam campaign could not end in a short period of time, and the grain stored there was only enough for the existing garrison to eat, and after this year's harvest was destroyed, Ning Yuan did not dare to rashly send a large number of troops over.
When it came to the harvest, Ning Yuan was angry.
This year was supposed to be a bumper harvest in Vietnam, but with the invasion of Southeast Asian coalition forces, all of this was ruined.
As the Condor retreated to some cities and fortresses, a large amount of fertile land outside fell into the hands of the enemy, so the food in the fields became the enemy's pocket.
And what made Ning Yuan most angry was the robbery of those guys from the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance.
Originally, the situation of the Condor Army of Vietnam County was already very difficult, but I didn't expect the army of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance to come in at this juncture.
The people of the Ten Thousand Beasts League knew very well that they could not occupy the land of Vietnam County for a long time, so they directly focused on plundering this time.
But there is nothing they don't take if there is anything that can be eaten in the stomach, and under the large number of orcs gnawing the ground, there are only some trees left in the northern part of the county that cannot be taken away.
If it weren't for the fact that the trees were really difficult to transport, I am afraid they would not have spared the trees.
Ning Yuan didn't have much impression of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, an organization that was extremely strong in the early stage of the game and disappeared in the late game.
He only knew that the organization had split into two branches, one of which stayed in the Huaxia region to develop, and the other went to the African region to develop.
When the Orc Empire was raging in the Huaxia District, the branch that stayed in the Huaxia District did not have any movement, but they did not expect that they were lurking on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and secretly developing.
Ning Yuan's hand couldn't reach the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau for the time being, so he could only write down this account first and leave it for later to settle it slowly.
Although the current situation in Vietnam County is not favorable to the Condor Army, the Condor Army stationed in Vietnam County is not completely powerless, and there is a Condor Legion that has always caused a headache for the enemy, and that legion is the Green Dragon Legion led by Tucker Neuer.
Don't look at those jade dragons in the northeast region one by one, but after coming to Vietnam County, they immediately became vibrant.
There is no more comfortable place for the Emerald Raptors than the rainforest, which is a nightmare for their enemies.
Faced with the Emerald Swiftloon, a cold-blooded killer who came and went in the rainforest without a trace, players in Southeast Asia were almost beaten out of rainforest phobia.
However, the number of Emerald Swiftlosaurus is still somewhat small, and they can only control some rainforest areas in the southern part of Vietnam.
Once out of the rainforest, their deterrent effect against the enemy is greatly reduced, especially when facing the enemy's war elephant army, they can only turn around and flee.
Therefore, although the Condor Army relied on the Green Dragon Legion to move back some situations, it was still at a disadvantage in the overall situation.
