The situation is very clear.

Most people knew that it was only a matter of time before war broke out between the Kingdom of Albion and the United Rus' Duchy. Some have a hunch that this may turn into a big war between the two camps, a small number of people know that this will turn into a protracted local war, and only a small number of people know when and how the war will begin.

"The first step of the Albians must be to seize sea supremacy at the beginning of the war, and then land in the Bay of Lapland in the shortest possible time and attack St. Petersburg. Efforts were made to destroy the capital of the principality within a week to half a month, and the war was over. ”

Tyre held a wooden stick and rested on the dot marked "St. Petersburg", and the members of the General Staff in the audience did not say a word.

A reasonable plan to avoid bogging yourself into a protracted battle that would lead to ruin. However, there is a proviso.

"According to various intelligences, it is likely that the Albians will launch the first wave of attacks by sneak attacks without declaring war. ”

Again, it is not difficult to predict that the Principality's fleet will be destroyed by surprise attacks in order to gain sea supremacy, and that the fleets will act in tandem to attack the Principality's naval bases and ports in various locations - in line with the mercenary principle of "concentrating all forces in the main direction" and with relatively little risk. Until you find out what exactly sank the two cruisers, this is the safest thing to do.

Of course, this is not glamorous and will push the principality to the moral high ground. But humans are the most intelligent race in the world at selective blindness, for them. Launching a sneak attack to take out the infidels is something that should be praised, not blamed. In addition, as long as the winner is won in the end, the blame will automatically disappear, after all, no one will condemn the winner.

The elves didn't care about the morality of humans, they had seen enough of the faces of humans, and they weren't surprised, or even interested in, that Albion might do such a thing.

What they are concerned about, or what they are commanded to follow, is something deeper.

The strategies and tactics of both sides, lessons learned, and much more. In order to collect these valuable treasures. They were studying the strategic issues of the United Principalities of Albion and Rus'.

The first is Albion.

- "Planning Disease".

That's how the consuls called this phenomenon, specifically by over-reliance on the idea that "if you have a perfect plan, you can do it."

Just like Albion now, the United Rus' Principality is not ready for war at the moment. There is also no perfect time for specific coping strategies. Work out a plan that presupposes a "sneak attack" and a "preemptive strike". As long as many of the conditional elements of the plan are achieved. Albion can indeed win quickly and get good results. But when there are uncertainties in the implementation process, they will fall into a passive situation.

The staff officers here can list a bunch of troubles that the Albions will encounter. For example, the perseverance and determination of the principality and the entire orc population are overestimated, such as the change in the attitude of the human allies, and the more immediate and realistic trouble is the mine.

Until now, the royal navy has not been able to figure out what sank the two cruisers, the sailors on both ships have disappeared into the depths of the Arctic Sea, and the only principality that knows the truth will not sue them. So the Wang navy made their war plan with a hint of luck and arrogance.

It is very dangerous and stupid to make a surprise attack plan without knowing anything about the warring opponent, and anyone with a modicum of military common sense knows the risks involved. But the royal navy did it anyway, and in addition to the arrogance caused by absolute confidence in its own strength, it was the serious mistake made by the decision-makers of the entire kingdom of Albion - they were convinced that the Principality would rather "lose face" by showing the power of the guns of the giant ships and burning St. Petersburg to the ground They came to beg for an end to the war, but the Albians themselves did not hesitate to gamble on the Grand Fleet and even the country to wage war against the principality, and were unwilling to sit down and settle the dispute with the principality by means of negotiation, because it would be a "loss of face".

A bunch of fools who put the cart before the horse.

The staff members labeled the people of Albion, and then focused on the effects of this group of fools.

Most of the Duchy's naval fleet was cowered in military ports, sheltered by fjords and shore firepower, and Vice Admiral Makarov also sent additional reconnaissance ships, aquatic orc races and flying beasts to build an all-round three-dimensional barrier to prevent Albion from launching a sneak attack. In addition to these visible protections, there are also highly classified minefields guarding the military port. It is not easy to break through this layer of defense.

The only loophole is Kaliningrad.

Due to the priority allocation of various resources to the large military port, Kaliningrad, which has a relatively low status, cannot establish a complete defense system, but its military port still has a strong fleet stationed in it, and its important geographical position is to guard the entrance to the Arctic Strait. Once a conflict breaks out, this place will definitely be the first to receive the "key care" of the royal navy. In view of the huge disparity in strength, there is not much suspense that the royal navy will conquer Kaliningrad in one fell swoop. Next, using this as a base for advance, they marched north along the coastline, conquering Riga, Reval, and Kronstadt one by one, and finally marched to St. Petersburg.

If there are no accidents, there is nothing to blame in this battle plan, and this safe plan will be chosen by the defense forces. It is only on the premise that the principality has already made great efforts to lay mines, and the feasibility of this battle plan is still worth studying.

When the Albians discovered that the route to St. Petersburg was densely packed with mines, and it was difficult for them to clear a safe passage in the area where the anchor mines and oyster pedoes were mixed, they had to turn their attention back to the land, and slowly wear down the principality with the combined forces of other countries.

This is what the elves are hoping for, and in order to make this consumption more efficient and natural, V.E has prepared a new gadget for the human army - the blaster.

In fact, they can also make "Arafat vests" or "keys to heaven", but due to technical secrecy and raw material problems, Li Lin finally decided to wait for the land battlefield to enter the most intense stage and sell blasting canisters to human armies. Then, the warriors who died using this weapon were used as prototypes to create an example for humans, an object of imitation. He had even figured out the name.

Meat Bullet Three Warriors.

The human army needs the "three warriors of meat bullets", not necessarily three, but they need such warriors, if they can't produce them themselves, then Li Lin and V.E Company will help them give birth to such a model.

On a muddy battlefield full of mines and trenches, hundreds of thousands of gray cattle and human flesh bomb warriors put on a thrilling killing show, and hundreds or more soldiers fell every minute, but as long as they still breathed, they would find a way to kill their opponents, until they were reduced to powder in the explosion of a mine and a blaster that would be a cannonball.

For the elves, it was a real delight to watch. But that's not the only one, they have a lot of new gadgets that will be unveiled in this war, and when these new gadgets are added, it will be really exciting.

The staff officers present at the meeting had expectant expressions, and now they only had one last question left: the time of the outbreak of war.

Albion was ready, Charlemagne was preparing, and the United Duchy of Rus was also ready. The rest, I just don't know when to do it.

Tyr coughed, and was about to open his mouth to say something, when a sharp knock on the door interrupted his speech.

A captain with a communications armband hurriedly pushed the door open, gave a quick salute, handed the binder under his armpit to Tyre, and the displeased lieutenant general glanced at the words on the printer paper, and immediately threw the daredevil and a room of staff officers in the map room, and ran at full speed towards the consul's office.

There was only one sentence written on that piece of paper:

"In the port of Kiel, 2340 found a fleet heading north, part of which was on the Guò Canal, with a forecast course for Kaliningrad. (To be continued......)
