Melodious melodies echo through the room, the gramophone plays the latest song "Just One Step Away", and under the cover of a Castilian tango, Roland frowns as he flips through the information sent by the lace magazine "Smell the Woman".

From the moment the royal fleet of Albion had planted a great deal of ground in the waters of Pilau, the nations were enveloped in an atmosphere of increasing fanaticism, from the court, to the salons, to the folk pubs, filled with the joy of the coming war, and everyone who came into contact with that atmosphere was very unanimous - the war was coming soon, and it would soon end with the victory of the human alliance.

It seems that human beings can list many reasons to support their views, rational, emotional, faithful, racial, ideological...... How many or how many are needed, but the elven camp and their archons only focus on cold numbers, and the amount of steel produced is more decisive in the outcome of a war than an "invincible spiritual atomic bomb".

Is the human camp ready to fight a modern war? Li Lin and the General Staff have come to the conclusion that "no," and the human camp is far from being prepared for it, both psychologically and materially.

Although they prepared a lot for this one: 6 battle infantry regiments that had just finished training, 14 grenadier battalions, 6 hussar battalions, 5 cuirassier battalions, 5 dragoon battalions, 2 Corsican rifle regiments, the latest Glebois cannons, blasters for brave sappers......

It can really be described as well-prepared, but in the eyes of the professional soldiers of the Defense Force, it is still far behind.

"They don't even know what modern warfare is!"

Roland denounced loudly in his stomach.

The denunciation is twofold, that is, reckless and sloppy against the human camp. It is also aimed at the "modern war" that is full of all kinds of real and evil toys.

The human camp is passionate about war, but their preparations for war can only be described as chaotic.

After reaching a consensus to form a coalition against the evil orcs, the first thing the generals of the various countries who gathered together did was to quarrel fiercely.

Albion wanted to continue the previous route of march and conquer the fortress of Riga to wash away their humiliation, but Charlemagne wanted to open a gap in the traditional battle line between Lapland and the northern front of the principality, and move north, cut off the connection between the fortress and the rear, and then use the fortress as a bait to build a strong position on the periphery to block the reinforcements of the principality, making the fortress a huge millstone. Let the principality shed its last drop of blood.

Both options have their pros and cons. Behind it are obvious little calculations of the two countries. If, according to the Albiang plan, reinforcements were sent by sea, it would be tantamount to handing over the logistical lifeblood of the army to the Albians. In this way, no matter how unwilling. The coalition forces were all under the command of an Albion general. And carry out Charlemagne's plan. Then raid the honor of the fortress of Riga, the title of the duchy destroyer. The power of the coalition commander will become the property of the Dauphin Louis and Charlemagne......

For the sake of their respective countries and their own personal interests, the generals and marshals quarreled and cursed day and night, and a number of people who were hoarse or had old problems collapsed. Immediately, another group of teammates with a hundred times more spirit went on to replace them, and continued the war of words with more majestic momentum and vitriol.

Leaving aside these dull parts, Roland carefully studied the two plans, and put aside the political interference, he came to the conclusion that neither was very reliable.

Due to the thorough work of the principality in clearing the walls, the logistics of the Albiang army in the Riga bridgehead were completely transported by sea and air, and with the repair of the port facilities in Kaliningrad, the logistical pressure has been relieved, but if the armies of all countries pour into the Riga area, it will be a disaster for the Albiann shipping system. Not to mention what a good target it was for the armies of various countries huddled together on the beachhead in front of the heavy fortress guns of the principality army.

That would be a very impressive feat, enough for the Principality Army and its admirers to show off the fighting qualities of the Furry Bear Warriors for a hundred years.

Just like Li Lin once told him a joke: a soldier of a certain country squatted in a beachhead bunker and killed 3,000 enemy soldiers who landed on the beach with a general-purpose machine gun, and this great soldier who enjoyed all the results of the beachhead defenders was named the glorious title of "The Beast of Omaha" and became an immortal legend in modern warfare.

It sounds like a lame joke, Su zhì and the soldiers of the principality...... The two never seem to have crossed paths, but as long as so many corpses can be found, the joke will have a sense of reality, and with a little hype and spread, this is the real history.

In any case, it would not be clever to repeat the march of the Albions.

Looking back at Charlemagne's plan, from the perspective of planning orientation, there is not much of a problem. But when it comes to the logistics part, it's miserable.

As a big country with a long culinary heritage, Charlemagne is very particular about eating.

In the report, in addition to various descriptions of the combat effectiveness, weapons, tactics, and combat effectiveness of the two armies, the two officers spent a lot of pen and ink describing the "appalling" and "miserable" scenes of the life and meals of the Albiang army.

The meat is too old, the soup is too sweet, the vegetables are too coarsely cut, the beds are too hard, the pillows are too low, and there is only one servant for every three officers......

Well, these can still be regarded as the negligence of the heretics of the Albion Sweet Party and lack of taste for life, but what happened next, Charlemagne said that he could not bear it.

Those disgusting objects stuffed with sweet and greasy cream, which the people of Albion actually call "Brittany crepes"? There are also so-called bread sticks, which are not up to standard in length, weight, and shape, and are actually filled with sweetened butter! What is even more terrible is that there is not a single piece of cheese to be found in the entire Albion barracks!

God, this is a strict blasphemy against such a sacred thing as eating. In order to prevent Charlemagne's army from being poisoned in future wars, the two officers strongly insisted that Charlemagne's army must be responsible for the logistics of Charlemagne's army.

In addition to the official report, the two officers wrote a booklet, Charlemagne on a Bite of the Tongue, at their own expense, in which they described in detail the proper life on the battlefield: standard baguettes, fragrant cheese and foie gras, three servants for each officer, lying on a spring bed, a tender young lady in her arms, a taste of authentic martini, and the soldiers were able to take hot baths every day and drink the original Charlemagne brandy......

Roland was completely speechless at this report, but in any case, as long as Charlemagne was willing, it was not impossible to do this, anyway, it was the money of taxpayers and the treasury, not the crown prince's own pocket money. But the crown prince and the army have come up with new tricks to make the already overburdened logistics even more fragile.

It was an open secret that the crown prince and the army were hostile to the V.E Company, so they insisted on bringing the management of the railroad into the army's control during the war, sending reliable officials to replace the company's staff, and preventing a consortium from using logistics to stumble them......

It is also an open fact that the crown prince did not deal with the army and the royal navy, so they did not rely on, waited, or did not want the navy's sea transportation, and built the "army ocean-going transport ship" and the so-called "assault landing ship" by themselves, and prepared to name it "White Trojan Horse" or "Agama......

The crown prince and they don't like the prime minister, so they ......

Why don't these guys run for the Trick Death Champion of the Year?

"Don't just talk about them, that's unfair, the Navy and Titans don't lose either. ”

Valrhona held her chin and lazily interjected.

The Navy is preparing the "Naval Hussar Regiment" and the "Naval Armored Train Regiment", and the Titans is eager to try it on the Castilian border, ready to come up with another "surprise" at any time.

Compared with pulling back and not doing business, Charlemagne's three armies really don't lose anyone.

The commander of the expeditionary force is a problem in his own right, and with such a group of teammates, can Prince Louis lead that group of rookies who still have eggshells on their butts to conquer the fortress of Riga, which is held by tens of thousands of hairy bear elites?

What's more, that scenario is never possible, not even a one in a million.

"So the expedition is doomed to failure, at least there will be nothing worth mentioning, and the crown prince will not be able to achieve the victory he wants, but will be in a worse state than he is now. ”

"No, you're thinking in the wrong direction. ”

Roland let out a sigh of relief and retorted with great weariness.

"Win or lose, the crown prince will not suffer. (To be continued......)
