Under the emperor's orders, the Bunitania Empire began the Baltic War against the EU. The purpose is to occupy the three Baltic countries, complete the separation of Norway, Sweden and Finland, and open the Atlantic supply route.
Naturally, these are official information, and the real situation is unknown.
The third day of the Baltic Sea Battle begins.
"The commander of the emperor's army is still the young prime minister-the second prince Schneizel. In addition, at least three more knights of the Round Table have been confirmed. They are the third knight Gino Beinberuk. , the sixth knight Aniya Amstrem and the seventh knight Shuzaku. According to the distribution of war zones, we may also need to add the fifth knight Luckald Fabray and the tenth knight Lucia. No. Brandley and twelfth knight Monica Kulusevski are being considered.¡±
In the frontline base of the EU Sixth Army, the generals all looked serious.
¡°More than half of the Knights of the Round Table are dispatched, what a huge lineup!¡±
"It's no wonder. It's only been more than a month since the Battle of Moscow ended, and soon it's the Battle of St. Petersburg, and now the Battle of the Baltic Sea has begun. Even the Imperial Army's mobility and recovery capabilities have reached the limit, relying on the Knights of the Round Table as the main combat force. , by the way, the army boosted morale. This kind of risky behavior is not Schneizel's style. In addition, it is already the third day of the war, but the imperial army's offensive is not very fierce. It seems that the Bunitania Empire The commander has no choice but to face this battle."
EU¡¯s Ice and Snow Vulture, General Barclay, commander of the Sixth Army, said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, the emperor's attacks in the past three days were mostly tests Do we still have a chance?" Upon hearing this, the subordinates looked at their admired boss with Xiyi eyes.
"It's still very difficult for our Sixth Army to defend itself." General Barclay stared at the defense map on the electronic board. Finally, he shook his head with a sigh and asked in a deep voice.
"Have you received any response to your request for help from China?"
"Yes, the military's reinforcement plan was rejected by the National Defense Committee for further discussion." The communications staff officer who answered this sentence replied hesitantly.
"Reject and reconsider?" Barclay raised his eyebrows.
"Because the 132nd Brigade was preparing to retake St. Petersburg but was surrounded in Varna instead, some members of parliament and the public accused the military of being too sloppy and rashly putting 15,000 EU soldiers in danger. Therefore, the Central Council gave The National Defense Commission issued an order that any battle must be reviewed again and again.¡±
"These damn politicians!"
Suddenly, the entire base command center erupted in curses.
"No matter how much you scold us, it won't help now. We order all the troops to keep to their duties. The Emperor has given us three days of leave. I believe that once the Emperor starts attacking, it will be as fierce as a storm."
Although Admiral Barclay is dissatisfied with the politicians in the parliament, he must show calm decision-making to everyone at this time.
"Your Excellency! The 521st Brigade from Rakwere has sent a request for reinforcements."
"Are you here!?" Admiral Barclay turned around suddenly.
"What are the details?"
"Yes! The emperor used a frontal attack as a feint, and the third, sixth, and seventh knights bypassed the forward defense line from the sea and attacked Rakovere."
"At sea? What on earth does the Baltic Fleet do!?" This situation was obviously beyond Admiral Barclay's expectation. The EU's biggest advantage in this battle was the support of the navy.
"That's because the Bunitania Empire dispatched an air fleet."
"Air fleet? Is this a Martian joke?"
"Bunitania used energy wings to give Knightmare the ability to fly. The same applies to battleships, right? Wasn't the ship of the tenth prince of the Bunitania Empire a floating battleship?" In the base, I don't know. Who spoke softly.
"Have the guys from the Empire already mass-produced it?"
The Bunitania Empire's pursuit of war weapons regardless of cost made Admiral Barclay want to be sarcastic, but at the same time he was envious and jealous.
As a soldier, who doesn¡¯t like new advanced weapons? General Barclay would be extremely pleased if the bureaucrats of the Republic could be one-tenth as concerned as the Bunitania Empire in this regard.
"Your Excellency, now is not the time to care about this. Rakvere is a strategic hub in eastern Estonia. If it is occupied, the troops on the front line of defense will be completely isolated." The chief of staff whispered to Admiral Barclay.
"Yes! As expected of Schneizel, it is difficult for people to deal with it." Admiral Barclay nodded in agreement.
"But if reinforcements are sent, it will be?It will make Rakwere the center of the battle, which will turn it into a war of attrition. What is the purpose of deploying defense in depth? etc"
Having said this, Admiral Barclay suddenly touched his chin and muttered.
"It would be a good idea to simply let the first line of defense clear the way and allocate the reserve team in one go, thus turning the battle into a war of attrition"
The Bunitania Empire does have an advantage in terms of military strength, but the long supply line limits their ability to recover supplies. If it turns into a war of attrition, it will be beneficial to the disadvantaged Sixth Army.
"However, if we engage in a war of attrition, our army's casualties will" the chief of staff reminded worriedly.
"We are soldiers, and it is our mission to shed blood for the motherland and the people! If we give up on the correct strategy because of a few gossips from those third-rate politicians, then it is better to just lay down our weapons and surrender, so that no one will die!" Balk General Lai glared at the Chief of Staff and roared explosively.
But soon, General Barclay, who realized that he had blamed the wrong person, patted the chief of staff on the shoulder and smiled reassuringly.
"Don't worry, as long as Schneizel's wisdom remains as normal as ever, then when it turns into a war of attrition, the time will not be far before the emperor retreats temporarily."
"That's itah! I understand!" The chief of staff suddenly realized.
The imperial army's morale is now maintained by victory after victory. The restless thoughts and emotions of the soldiers are temporarily forgotten due to the excitement of victory. Once the casualties are too large due to the war of attrition, those suppressed emotions will It will spread, and the impact on the emperor's military morale will be very serious.
"It's good to understand." Admiral Barclay showed a satisfied smile.
"Order Tapa's 212th Brigade and Damsalu's 133rd Brigade to quickly support Rakvere. The first line of defense troops will continue to execute the initial orders issued by the headquarters until the latest order is issued. Except for the other troops in Loksa and Tallinn, Except for the garrison, all troops belonging to the group army are gathering on the third line of defense!"
"yes!"
?????????????????????
"Your Highness, the Third Knight sent a report. The battle went smoothly, but the resistance of the EU garrison in Rakvere was very fierce." Kanon walked to Schneizel's side and reported softly in a neither sad nor happy tone.
"It would be best if we can capture Rakwere. If we really can't capture it within time, let them counterattack the first line of defense!"
Schneizel ordered calmly.
"General Barclay of the Sixth Army is a capable man, and the counterattack will be very rapid."
"I understand." Kanon bowed and responded.
When he raised his head, he found that Schneizel was a little absent-minded, playing with an unclear photo in his hand.
¡¾It¡¯s this again~¡¿Canon sighed peacefully and quietly exited the room.
Schneizel, who was deep in thought, was completely unaware of this.
In the unclear photo, a young man with long black hair pressed down with his hands is standing on the edge of the cliff, as if this is just a poor work of a new photographer. But ever since this photo was delivered to Schneizel's desk, after just one glance, Schneizel could no longer look away.
The figure with half of his face covered by one hand lingered in Schneizel's mind.
This is the last image transmitted from the missing Imperial machine body during the Varna battle. In order to analyze the reasons for the failure of the Knights of St. Raphael, the intelligence analysis officers retrieved all the video data they could find.
An analysis of the EU's unit, known within the Imperial Army as [Hannibal's Undead], revealed that in addition to the derisory style of self-destruction, the last remaining weird Knightmare driver's powerful combat style also Let the emperor be very concerned about it.
However, the most concerning thing among them is the last image transmitted by a Knightmare that disappeared in the battle.
"A young man wearing a black trench coat with long black hair, and a maid holding an umbrella for the young man. Such a pair, which was originally a very ordinary pair, became extremely strange when they appeared on the battlefield.
"What are those two people over there doing here?" The driver's voice made people believe that he had definitely taken corresponding measures.
However, at this moment, a strong gust of wind blew by. The young man raised his hand to suppress the blown long hair, and could only see the slightly changing shape of his mouth as if he was saying something.
The next moment, the maid bowed slightly, then suddenly put away her umbrella and disappeared from the screen, and the camera was always fixed on this scene.
"Who are you?" Schneizel's unintentional murmur was filled with infinite confusion and youth.?¡¯s Xiyi.
