20. The Bishop and the Juvenile (8)

As the biggest and most realistic imaginary enemy in the eyes of the elves, Charlemagne's intelligence information is the object of interest to Alfheim. For a long time, the V.E company convoy has sent goods to Charlemagne's various places at the same time, and has also sent Charlemagne's topography and landform mapping, local folk customs, mineral distribution output, agricultural soil conditions and other information back to Alfheim, and the most direct consequence is that the civilian Charlemagne map in the hands of the elves is far more accurate than the military map drawn by Charlemagne himself.

With such a huge amount of information, it is reasonable to complete the planning of the war plan, but Li Lin and the staff officers he trained have not completed this matter for a long time because of the lack of a decisive element.

That decisive factor was Charlemagne's ability to mobilize his troops and the ambiguity of his economic potential.

"The war of the future will no longer be an idyllic affair, and the new war will not only be a frontal confrontation between combat units and equipment, but also a confrontation between the two sides in terms of military production, technological development, and logistical support capabilities. If there is a shortcoming in any one aspect of soldiers, equipment, and food and materials, the entire combat system will be affected and destroyed. ”

The top commander of the armed forces in Alfheim said that Tier, who often went in and out of the factory floor to supervise the production of the military industry, added:

"That kind of war is different from the past, it will only be a war in which the fate of each citizen and the country are closely linked. The problem is that neither space nor resources are on our side, and Yalfheim does not have the conditions to fight an all-out war. ”

That's why. The elves' military solution to the problem became only one - to quickly transition Argent Toratone to a full-fledged wartime economy in the hope of a quick victory.

The total amount of resources in the hands of the elves is certainly at a disadvantage, but it will take some time for the human countries to give full play to their potential advantages. Until then, the Defence Forces will fully combine their own technical equipment and deliver a decisive blow to the enemy's first strategic echelon from the beginning of the war, and then strike at full speed into Charlemagne's hinterland, occupying the country before it mobilizes and uses its military and economic forces.

Next, the elves had to concentrate all of Charlemagne's military, economic power, and war potential in a short period of time through military occupation and brutal plundering. Launching another full-scale offensive before the other opponents were fully mobilized and ready for battle, using diplomatic means to allow the United Rus Duchy to launch a diversionary attack on Lapland, relying on successive assaults to knock the opponent to the ground before they could react on the premise of avoiding a two-front battle.

This new mode of warfare is commonly known as the theoretical framework of war, and it is by far the most suitable mode of war for elves.

"To realize such a strategic vision, three indispensable elements are required: the number of advanced technological weapons in our hands, the specific industrial production capacity, and the mastery of Charlemagne's resources, including labor. ”

All the time. Li Lin is a close friend of He Yuan and a royal architect, and he governs the production of the core military industrial enterprises of V.E Company like a modern large enterprise. Similarly, the Supreme Commander of the Defence Forces attaches importance to the optimal use of resources.

Needless to say, the importance of all kinds of minerals and agricultural products and the occupation plan were not mentioned, and Li Lin specially asked Richelieu to open the national warehouses of various grain materials and carry out espionage surveying and mapping in the name of inspection, and the purpose was also to quickly seize these resources and put them into war consumption after the outbreak of war in the future. The plundering of labor is a major concern, even to the point of making separate plans for the rational allocation of resources.

Although the Defence Force has been a favorite army since its founding, they know from the bottom of their hearts that the army is essentially an expensive expendable. As long as there is a war, there will be drastic attrition. Whether or not they can end the war before this kind of attrition can drag them down has become their biggest issue, and for this reason they have been conscientiously studying and studying the theory of mechanized group warfare put forward by Li Lin. Recently, he also made a prototype type of combat vehicle, the first machine, the second machine and other cross-era works, but these two types of vehicles do not like Li Lin, the fundamental reason is that these two designs are lacking, and.

"The vehicle design team still failed to understand how cruel the war we were going to fight, and I insisted on seeking generalization in the design of MDS, in the final analysis, it was to ensure sufficient technological advancement at the same time, to maximize the integration of human labor into our military production process, and to liberate elf young adults from mines, farmlands, and factory assembly lines. Provide a source of troops for the defense forces. ”

In order to achieve this, in the planning of the General Staff. Human usable labor in the occupied territories, prisoners of war, after screening and simple training and organization, will be used as unpaid slave labor, thus securing the strength of the front line. Try not to affect military production. For this reason, the vehicle in the design needs to be equipped with power, transmission, tracks, load wheels, and even suspension and sighting devices. In order to achieve a production line, human workers can assemble a qiē combat vehicle that can meet the needs of a war of attrition from 5 tons, 10 tons to 100 tons at the same time in the same way as building blocks.

"All in all, whether it is the capture of Charlemagne, the integration of resources, or the adjustment of the design and manufacture of the combat vehicle - this qiē is to prepare for a possible war of attrition, and in order to make the granite heads of the General Armament Department understand this more deeply, the combat vehicle development program was officially renamed the E-series development program. ”

“e...... series?"

"Development (entwicklung), the General Armament Department has submitted a draft plan for the 10-ton and 25-ton destroyer vehicles, and the continuous make-up lessons for that group of guys seem to have finally worked. ”

Holding his chin with his right hand, the young man smiled:

"In contrast, the Air Force and the Navy have invested a lot in the early stage, but they are the two most worrying units in the defense force system. ”

Hearing Li Lin's self-deprecation, Tyr could only smile bitterly.

Air force aside, elven navy...... In fact, there is no Zài, Argent Toratong is landlocked, and V.E has not yet mastered a port city that needs to be defended by a navy. The only department that touches the water is the listed shelf troops, and a few underwater MDS in the real Yàn, and the scope of application of that batch of trial models is not naval warfare, but amphibious assault.

PS: Guess the small theater

Li Lin: Yesterday's winners are three book friends! Congratulations!

Nidhogg: Today's question is who is 1.Yuan's close friend and royal architect?2.What is the prototype of the E series? What are the 10-ton and 25-ton destroyer chariots?
