14. Day of Stopping Missiles (8)
"A little breakthrough?"
The Captain's expression was still grim and serious, but his voice was unquestionably surprised.
There's no way not to be surprised.
There are many ways to attack a fortress, but make a little breakthrough for a fortress with plenty of firepower, no dead ends, and if necessary, even asteroids that fall overhead will be blown into slag for you to see......
It's either brave or empty, or it's a suicide volunteer.
Knowing that there is a hell ahead of him and no return, he resolutely launched a surprise attack, this is not suicide.
"It's not how reliable the battle plan is, or how steady the person who makes the plan is. β
With his hands folded together, Li Linwan smiled.
"Adequate intelligence and logistical support, bold ideas, adequate deduction, decisive action and sufficient swiftness. β
Everything is important, and the absence of one of them casts a shadow over the prospects for combat, and people always do their best to get everything together. However, when it comes to actual combat, few of them can meet all the conditions.
In particular, special operations and surprise warfare between opponents with a huge disparity in strength. It may be possible to achieve some results in the early stages, but if the battle is not ended quickly, the surprise attack will turn into a strong attack, or even a tug-of-war attrition. At this point, the weaker side will soon show signs of weakness, and then a terrible rout will follow.
Today's Charlemagne can no longer bear the failure of the "Holy Maiden of National Salvation", which is their last spiritual defense line and the last light in their hearts. After such a long period of god-making propaganda, everyone regarded this little girl from Orleans as the savior who saved Charlemagne, and the miracle she created would inevitably lead Charlemagne to defeat the vicious ghost animal heresy and usher in a real victory.
Roland: They don't have a second chance.
They don't disappoint people and they can't let people down.
"Even so, it's still too reckless and sloppy. β
Nidhogg retorted rarely.
"They don't have any useful information about the situation in the base and the mountains, and the scattered peripheral information collected by the demons alone cannot be used as a basis for making a battle plan. Isn't it more efficient to use MDS interceptor missiles equipped with beam rifles than this so-called 'one blow at a time'?"
"Nidhogg, you should think more from your opponent's point of view. There are only a few airframes in their hands, how can they be assigned to protect the whole of Charlemagne? Deploy near the base to intercept the initial ascent of the missiles? Before they shoot the missiles, De Kill will use them as skewers. Taking a step back, as long as the missile is equipped with a sweat heat dissipation device, the output power of the beam rifle is helpless. In the final analysis, they will not be able to take the next step without completely destroying the Saint-Dije base. β
Li Lin tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and the corners of his mouth rose.
"What's more, all the timeβ"

"In the battle that has been going on, there is nothing we can control. β
With his hands propped up on the map table, Roland smiled wryly.
"Even so, you can't take gambling as the norm, right? No matter how you say it a few times ago, the enemy's actions are also because that guy doesn't want to tear his face and can't fully exert his strength, and he can only succeed by taking risks. The ...... of the current word"
Valrhona's voice gradually lowered, and the girls who knew also turned their faces away or lowered their heads.
The next time we will face the "Seven Deadly Sins" without reservation and with all our might. A single person can turn a country into a barren wilderness.
In the face of this extreme monster, even if the luck is still alive, few people dare to hope that Lady Luck will continue to protect themselves and help them win. Just trying to survive may have to run out of a lifetime of luck.
There must also be a limit to concentrating on making a breakthrough and winning with one blow?
"But if we want to win this battle, we have to gamble on this one - with the strength of the entire Charlemagne and the Saint-Dije base. β
The voice full of consciousness and calmness suppressed the other noise, and a pair of eyes were fixed on Roland.
"The whole ...... Charlemagne?"
Swallowing Minerva's trilled question, Roland nodded vigorously and replied unwaveringly:
"That's right. All factions, including the Army and the Crown Prince, all the forces of Charlemagne as a whole must be thrown into this gamble. β
#################
"It's stupid! The army won't agree! Are you crazy about bringing the army's magicians and logistics into the command system or something?!"
The War Secretary's fist slammed on the desk, and the teacup jumped up, and the spilled tea stained the snow-white tablecloth with a puddle of dazzling stains.
Under normal circumstances, the Marquis of Lois would immediately summon his servants in to change the tablecloth, but at this time, it seemed that the Marquis, whose blood was concentrated in his head, no longer had the leisure time to pay attention to some trivial matters.
That's a huge force that can trigger five strategic-level attack spells! Without the support of the magician, the already tight logistics department will disperse the forces, will the battle line still be maintained?!What do they want to do?!!
"The strategy of the Saint-Dije base now has the right to the highest priority resource mobilization. β
The blonde girl on the opposite side of the desk sat awe-inspiringly, facing the monstrous anger of the Minister of War, and her upright face did not waver.
"Not only the Army, but also the magicians affiliated to the Navy, the teachers and students of the National Academy of Magic, are all deployed in this battle. All the magicians in the country and the stored Celestial Crystals in various departments were placed under the command of the Battle Headquarters. β
"It'sβ"
"A huge force. But in front of the monster guarding Saint Diyah, it was only the strength of a reluctant fight. β
"You actually say that this kind of thing is to grow the enemy's morale and destroy your own prestige, are you still Charlemagne's soldier?!"
"It's just stating the facts. Whether you like it or not, the facts are right in front of you, and they won't change because you like it or not. Andβ"
The girl unhurriedly pulled out a document and placed it in front of the Marquis de Lois, her fingertips resting on the signature in the lower right corner.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed. We ask for your cooperation. β
#############
"Gather the magicians and heavenly crystals from all over the country to combine them into a super-large-scale long-range attack technique, and concentrate all their strength on the spatial phase displacement defense that penetrates the opponent at one point. β
The whip slapped on the table, and the crisp sound pulled the stunned high-ranking magicians back to reality, Valrhona reached out and helped the gold-rimmed glasses that she had put on to increase her momentum, and continued in an awe-inspiring tone:
"Maybe you may find it difficult to understand, but I will cooperate with you and explain briefly. The target of this operation, the Saint-Dije base, has been completely fortified by the enemy, relying on the complete launch position, the enemy army continues to launch long-range high-power rockets into the big city to carry out siege warfare. Due to the remoteness of the Saint-Dije base from the front line, it could not be counted on breaking through the enemy line in a short time, forcing the base facilities to retreat, which can now only be eliminated by forcible means. However, the defensive performance of the enemy's base is far above our predictions, and its solidity is ...... It's better to think of it as the City of Condor is thousands of times above its maximum output. β
The uproar suddenly spread and boiled, and questions and doubts surged towards the podium.
Whimsy, defeatism, lack of kingdom spirit - these are the first hats to pop up, and then a bunch of pedants, scholars, lay out facts, reason, and argue that this is not feasible.
Basically, the easiest way to deal with defense is to defeat it with pressure beyond the limits of the defense. Catapults, tunnels, artillery, explosives packs β these are all extensions of this linear thinking. From the point of view of basic theory alone, this operation is not unreasonable.
The main problem lies in the part of "gathering the power of the country's magicians in one point".
Multi-person linkage techniques and arrays are not uncommon, strategic-level attack techniques are often hundreds of people to synchronize consciousness, and there are also large-scale tactics ranging from a few to dozens of people in the campaign tactical-level attack technique. There is absolutely no problem with the power of this type of technique, but the structure of the technique is too complicated, and the process of performing it in conjunction is quite time-consuming, and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy during the process.
Not to mention, it is still a technique that has never been seen before.
It is inconceivable that the pervasive pointy-eared heretics would pass up such a great opportunity.
"How can a technique that is not even clear about the 'theory' used work smoothly for the first time in a hurry!"
A certain six-level magician roared loudly to everyone's resonance, and then the angry old man sat back in his place, pressed his undulating chest, and glared angrily at the cold "girl" on the podium.
"Due to the principle of confidentiality and time requirements, it is not possible to disclose the details of the procedure here. β
Pushing his glasses, the cold light of the plexiglass flashed, and some kind of almost substantial coercion pressed towards the audience, and the lower level rolled down from the chair on the spot and clutched his chest and screamed, and the faces of the higher ones instantly changed from flushed to pale.
Just a slight glare, as if the whole body was about to be crushed in an instantβafter understanding what kind of existence they were facing, the arrogant magicians suddenly turned into docile quails waiting to be sold in the bazaar, and looked at the queen on the podium with trepidation.
After lowering the output of the "Dragonway" slightly to ensure that there would be no non-combat attrition before the battle, Valrhona once again spoke in an unmistakably cold and hard manner.
"Some of the tasks that you are responsible for during the battle will be submitted to you in writing later, and I ask you to start implementing them immediately after the meeting. D time - the decisive time is set at 0:06 a.m. the day after tomorrow, life and death, victory or defeat, in one move. I ask you to unite together to face the national crisis. β
A thick stack of documents fell on the podium, and a pair of awe-inspiring glasses stared at the stack of papers related to their fate and future, and those thick or thin papers directly determined the life and death of everyone and even this country.
