Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1656 Chapter 1657 The second solution

The prime minister really wanted to open his mouth and ask a few more questions: He wanted to know, were there really that many machines transferred to the south from cities such as Ironforge?

In fact, as the Tang Army's bombings became more frequent, not many of the equipment in those factories were well preserved. Most of the equipment was actually damaged, and less than one-third of the equipment was actually loaded and transported south in a usable condition.

Even if we draw conclusions based on this data, when the south reorganizes production, the restored production capacity will only be one-third of what it was in the distant future. In other words, at best, we used to produce three tanks, but now we can only produce one.

Thinking about it further, the south has always been the front line of the war with the elves. Can the construction situation there really allow the factory to operate immediately?

Where did the sudden increase in power come from? Are there really any transportation lines to support the transportation of raw materials and products? Can these difficulties be solved in a short time? Or will they have time to solve these problems?

These words came to his lips, but the dwarf prime minister still did not spit them out. Because he knew that even asking these questions would have no effect except adding trouble to the emperor.

They have no way to reverse the current situation and no means of change, so they can only place their hopes on subsequent reinforcements from their allies.

If the elves and Susas, including Dorne, could provide more weapons and equipment, or even dispatch more troops to support, then this war would still have the possibility to continue.

And if these allies are unwilling to support more things, then the Ice Empire will have no choice but to wait for death.

After all, there are still two armies around Ironforge. If you count the eight armies from the 7th to the 15th (the 14th is missing) on ​​the front line, the dwarves still have the heavy troops of ten armies in their hands. It seems that there is still a battle. Power.

On the surface, the total strength of the dwarves has almost remained unchanged. There are still 10 armies, and there are still nearly two million troops.

But in fact, compared with before the war, only half of the tanks and other heavy weapons and equipment they lost have been replenished, and the overall combat effectiveness has dropped significantly.

After thinking about it, the prime minister decided to tell some good news to make the emperor who had returned after a long journey feel a little happier: "Your Majesty, the Lions Empire has also made up its mind. They are not only willing to provide food and other materials, but also to us. Provide some weapons and equipment.”

"Sigh... If they could have done this two months earlier, we might have won." Binghan I sighed again, but his face was obviously much better than before: "It's not too late now! As long as they can Provide 1000 tanks, 2000 aircraft, and are willing to help us train pilots..."

These numbers sounded so scary that the Prime Minister couldn't believe that the Lions Empire would actually come up with so many things.

Binghan I also felt that it was a bit unrealistic for his lion to open his mouth so wide, so he added: "Even if there are not so many, half will do."

……

"There's not that much, even if you only give us half!" On the front line, a general from the Sussus Empire grimaced and complained to the dwarf lieutenant colonel who came to deliver supplies: "They don't even give us enough food. What the hell are we fighting for?" "General, we have sent you all the food we can find." The dwarf lieutenant colonel also knew that the food he sent was too little, but he did his best: "Follow up. There should be some, but the roads are not smooth and we need some time.”

"Do you think it's okay if I retreat now? Can't we retreat to a place where you can provide supplies?" Susas's general snorted and threatened dissatisfiedly: "You can't let us go hungry and fight for you, right? "

"General! We have really tried our best. I heard that more food will arrive in ten days. Please keep insisting..." The lieutenant colonel actually had another way, but he didn't want to use this method. .

When he came, he received an order from his superiors. If the frontline troops were really short of supplies, they could use other methods to solve the problem on the spot!

In this order, the word "on the spot" is the key: in fact, it means that the dwarves have tacitly allowed their allies to rob their territory.

As a junior military officer, no one would be willing to convey such an order unless absolutely necessary. The dwarf lieutenant colonel still wanted to fight for it, but his efforts were destined to be in vain.

Because the reason is very simple, it is impossible for the Susas troops without supplies to fight for other people's wars without food or drink. After pleading for a long time without any effect, the dwarf lieutenant colonel had to come up with the last resort.

"If you look for it in the nearby villages, you might be able to find some food..." When he said this, he felt like he was about to lose his strength.

The general obviously did not expect that the other party would come up with such a method to harm his own people. He was stunned at first, and then he could only smile bitterly. This is indeed a method, or a method that seems pretty good.

Anyway, if we lose the battle, these places will become enemy-occupied areas. It’s okay to keep enemy-occupied areas, so it’s better to destroy them yourself. There must be a price for doing this kind of thing, but the price is not obvious in a short period of time.

What he didn't know was that in the areas occupied by the Tang Army, there were already a large number of dwarves who had become a staunch force supporting the Tang Army because of such incidents. These dwarves have played a role that cannot be underestimated by helping to build airport roads, restore production and maintain law and order.

"Okay! I know you have tried your best." As a human, General Sussus obviously did not fully empathize with the dwarves. He patted the dwarf lieutenant colonel on the shoulder and promised: "I can You promise, I won’t let my soldiers find food on their own unless absolutely necessary... But I can’t let them go hungry, I hope you can understand.”

"Thank you, General... I hope everything we have paid today is worth it." The dwarf lieutenant colonel was so moved that he almost cried.

Two days later, the Susas troops as guest troops and the elven troops further south began to plunder nearby villages and cities because they had some problems with their food supply.

Of course, this kind of thing destroyed the foundation of the dwarves' local rule in one fell swoop. Although the people's complaints and dissatisfaction had not yet affected the war situation, this situation could already explain many problems.
