Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 586: The relationship between house-changing tactics and the headquarters

"Is this the house-changing tactic you often talk about? This... I'm a little surprised that it's true."

Elvis heard the prince's tactical policy more than once while observing the war meeting. One of the tactics reserved always included forcibly raiding the enemy's headquarters and cutting off the supply lines.

Although it is not used most of the time, it is still widely circulated in the circle about how to change homes and how to change homes efficiently.

Imric rubbed his brows, and there were many ways to change his position. Giving up part of his frontal battlefield strength to attack important enemy targets, or executing decapitation tactics were all examples of this.

However, some conventional ideas cannot be applied to the medieval world. Many destructive forces do not care about industrial locations and recruiting soldiers at all, such as vampires. As long as enough people die, any place can become a source of soldiers.

"This is a reserve plan. If we launch a long-term all-out war with the enemy, we must understand the disadvantages of a small number of people. Food sources, warehouses, industries, water sources, communication stations, transportation hubs... this series of facilities will become Local battlefield. What you have to do now is to figure out how to use the terrain and time difference to attack tactical targets."

It could be seen that the prince did not want to say more about this matter. Elvis understood clearly and prepared to assemble troops to march eastward from the mouth of the river.

He had overheard a discussion among several people in the palace about the war with humans. Although he did not know who the target was yet, this interspersed strike tactic was a project being drafted.

With the small number of elite elven troops and the convenience of exchanging intelligence, it was enough to defeat the lagging monkeys.

Walking on the empty streets, he thought about the militia troops besides the standing army. They were already somewhat behind the current military system.

"But this matter seems a bit difficult. Coordinating troops is a troublesome thing. No matter how excellent the training is, it is still difficult to compare with the regular army."

As for Imric, he frowned and thought about something. His idea was that with the power of Caledor, he could fight against any race on his own, but there was still a long way to go before he could achieve this goal, mainly because of the population. Problem, otherwise people in Kislev would not be so shabby.

The population problem cannot be solved in a short time, and the complex battlefield environment in the future will not allow for mistakes.

"The General Staff... It seems that the establishment of this organization is on the agenda. It's really a headache. It will take a while to return to China."

The establishment of the General Staff Department symbolizes that the army has entered a new stage. Each division is no longer working alone. Unified intelligence collection, strategic deployment, logistics distribution, and administrative management are an excellent way to improve efficiency.

Even now, Asul's military system is a headache. To fight an all-out war, you need to recruit militia.

However, the military quality of the militia has determined that it cannot report useful intelligence to their superiors most effectively, and it is difficult for superiors to make an accurate prediction of the specific capabilities of the militia. Not to mention that the chaotic hierarchy of the militia makes command very troublesome.

In two towns of the same level, who among the veterans has the command authority? It is also difficult for the captains who command at the grassroots level to keep up with the rhythm of the regular army. These are hidden dangers.

The scale of the current war is not large. If it rises to the level of a full-scale war and fights with life and death, the existing system will be difficult to make the best decision.

In the final analysis, even if Asul relies on his longevity to make the militiamen much better, they are still militiamen after all.

There were only two choices before Imrik.

Increasing the amount of training for the militia and aligning it with the regular army as much as possible, or expanding the number of regular armies, have a common problem: they overdraw their development potential.

"I hope Masno can bring me some surprises, otherwise I may really have to do something like the Ulthuan Foreign Legion. Then a large circle of foreign Asur will work for the Dragon Palace, and the Phoenix King's Court will It’s also a nuisance.”

I laughed a little at myself and stretched myself before preparing for war. It was difficult to explain my views on war. The tone of the country determined that the war would not stop.

But one problem is that the more you fight, the more things you have to digest, which all take time to settle.

Walking on the road to the military camp, Imrik suddenly said to the guard captain,
"Creon, do you feel that Caledor has fought too many battles over the years?"

The captain of the guard hesitated for a while. He was the one who had been fighting on the front line since Imric succeeded to the throne. He was one of the people with the most say. Outside Husband City, as far as Lustria and Naggaroth.

After traveling to several places, the time was less than 15 years, which was somewhat unimaginable for the elves.

"We may need a little time. Even a giant dragon needs some time to rest after a long battle and prepare for subsequent hunting." Imrik nodded. These words were euphemistic and not losing face. They were quite suitable. Mind.

"After this battle, we will focus on people's livelihood and industry. The children of Caledor have been nervous for too long and need some time to recover."

"Your will, but I pray for one thing."

"Say."

Creon hesitated for a while, seeming to hesitate.

But after struggling in his heart, he still explained his request in a low voice, "Please don't let Caledo be infected with the corrupt atmosphere of the Inner Ring Kingdom. Although business can bring a lot of wealth, it has great hidden dangers, such as those in Itain." The trash who can't even hold a spear firmly has his ability corroded by gold. He only thinks about gold leaf coins but forgets what honor is."

Imric felt angry and funny. It would have been unimaginable before for such words to come from a warrior.

"We will focus on developing industry, not finance. Excessive gold is just a burden, turning into a series of numbers in the warehouse. But industry can actually improve national strength. The output of every iron ingot means countless possibilities. Whether sex is used for transportation, agriculture, religion, war, it’s up to us to decide.”

After thinking for a while, Imric thought that Creon seemed to have a son, and his dead brother also left a daughter. Judging from his age, it seemed that he had reached a period of merit.

"Your son Haemon, I think he is in the navy."

Speaking of his son, Creon felt a hint of bitterness. In his early years, he made him travel around Ulthuan, and in the end he actually became a pirate of Cosqui. He thought he would die overseas, but when he heard the news that Caledor had established a navy, he rushed to Come back.

"He serves in the Second Fleet. He is better at standing on the undulating deck than fighting on land."

"This is a good thing. Everyone has something they are good at. Even the Dragon Prince has produced many mediocre people. Rather than letting them charge with lances they are not good at, it is better to develop in another place."

But Imrik obviously didn't want to ask about the family issues of the guard chief. How could he manage so many families in Caledor? The sect leader's duty is to coordinate the relationship between families internally, and to use a unified voice externally as a representative. Not a nanny.

"But I have a mission that I would like to give him, if he would let me."

Creon nodded immediately. He was worried that his son might lack development channels in the future. He had no reason to refuse, and he had no right to refuse at all.

"Of course, it's his honor. I don't know what the mission is."

"It's not a troublesome thing. We start from Chulong Bay, go south along Marienburg, explore the situation along the coast, pass through Dawn Fortress and enter the Grand Canal of Cathay, then drive east, and return to Chulong Bay from Dusk Fortress. "

After hearing these words in a rather ordinary tone, Creon's face turned green.This is not troublesome, it is extremely troublesome. It is equivalent to driving around the world. Not even the craziest Cosque sailors dare to do this.

Even if there is, there will be no news in the end. The risks along the way are probably comparable to entering the chaotic wasteland alone.

He asked tentatively, "If you want a sea map, we can hire some Cosques to map out the most accurate location. Those desperadoes will not refuse the temptation of gold leaf coins."

"Charting is one aspect, but more importantly, it is gathering intelligence. I don't trust the Cosqui people. Their ferocious spirit will always put things into embarrassing situations. In addition to bringing a lot of trouble and wealth, only Hostility towards Assur.”

So you leave it to the Caledonians.

Not daring to say this, Creon still nodded with difficulty. This was just a notice of respect between the masters and ministers, otherwise Imric could have directly ordered Haemon to travel.

"I believe Haimon will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Ah."
