Chapter 543 The Problem

The dawn is faint.

When the sun slowly rises from the east, it means that Veigar has won thirteen secondary strategic cities.

What Vega needs to do now is very simple.

That is to build a defense line around thirteen cities and take root in the northern part of the empire in a real sense. This time may take about one and a half months.

When the defense system of Thirteen Cities was established.

The city of Kaleni has almost been completely ruled by the Kingdom Army, which means that Vega can openly launch the plan for the city of Rops, and completely drive the imperial army out of the northern territory.

Although Veigar also knew that this war could not destroy the empire.

Even at the end of the war, it is very likely that the Allied countries will be defeated, but this does not mean that as a defeated country, they will not be able to gain benefits at all.As long as the north is captured sooner, the resources in the north can be searched sooner.

When all the resources and property are in hand, what about returning the territory to the empire?
After a great war, the empire must not have the extra energy to invade other countries. Taking advantage of this time, it happens to use the resources it collected to develop its national strength. This is Veigar's strategic policy from the very beginning.

Now the basis of the strategy is in place—

They occupied thirteen cities in the hinterland, and started to build a defense line based on this.

But Veigar was still frowning, because until the end of this war, he did not see half of the imperial reinforcements.

There is a saying that the more you win, the less you lose.

Even if the mechanism is calculated, there may be a little mistake that will lead to the failure of the battle. What's more, now Vega has no way of guessing what kind of medicine is sold in Foster's gourd, which makes him feel uneasy instinctively.

After all, people are always afraid of the unknown.

Veigar believes that in a war, if you are reduced to seeing the tricks, it means that you are not far from defeat.

Because in Veigar's concept of war, seeing one's tricks and dismantling one's tricks can explain to a certain extent that he is being led by the nose by the enemy. Although the situation looks good on the surface, the truth is that he may have fallen into the enemy's trap.

Therefore, Veigar is not blindly optimistic that the Empire has not sent reinforcements.

Now he can't figure out what Foster is planning for a day, and he doesn't have the slightest confidence in his heart. Marching and fighting is not a child's play, and it will be too late if he loses his life.

One person counts short, three counts long.

When building a car behind closed doors was not feasible, Vega chose to hold a high-level meeting. He hoped to gain some inspiration from the strengths of various schools of thought, and finally find out the reason why Foster gave up the central hinterland.

"Your Highness, I think you are worrying too much."

A staff officer said confidently: "The imperial army must know that other routes cannot support the central hinterland in time, and they may encounter your resistance when passing through the Balkan city. Instead of wasting energy and sending a large force to test it out, it is better to save some effort to prepare for the follow-up possible war."

"Secretary Legon has a point."

A division commander echoed: "The empire must have seen that it was powerless, so it simply gave up the central hinterland to you, Your Highness. After all, the empire is now surrounded by enemies. Judging from the information fed back from other fronts, the empire has been avoiding the sacrifice of soldiers, and constantly Shrink the defense line, let go of the cities that can be released as much as possible, and only stick to the strategic cities."

The teacher's words have been recognized by most people.

The empire is now being attacked from all directions, and the pressure it is under is so great that ordinary people can't imagine. The imperial army has also changed its previous arrogance that it will fight every battle. It is hard to believe that this is the style that the empire should have.

And not just on the Imperial Northern Front.

Especially on the Southwest front against the Liberty Alliance, the empire gave up almost all of its secondary strategic points, and shrunk all its forces to firmly hold the main strategic points in its hands.

The more this happened, the more worried Vega became.

The imperial army full of arrogance and vigor is quite a headache, because it is difficult for you to defeat them in a frontal battle, but the imperial army that puts down its glory and pride is creepy, because you don't know what they are planning What.

The deadly punch is not thrown straight.

For a real heavy punch, it must be after a long period of energy accumulation that it can achieve the effect of killing with one blow.

The current situation of the empire shrinking in an all-round way does not give Veigar the feeling of giving up treatment, but rather that he is accumulating energy for a long time, and then after reaching a certain critical point, he strikes hard.

If you don't fly, you will fly, soar into the sky;
If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

When a country that is almost invincible in frontal battles no longer uses frontal battles, this does not mean that the empire is at the end of its rope, but what it can show is that the empire has accumulated strength and then became a blockbuster!
"I want you to think again."

Veigar motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said worriedly: "Only in the situation of absolute disadvantage, or when you think it is absolutely impossible to win, will you choose to defend. In the situation of evenly matched or slightly disadvantaged situation, has the empire ever missed a frontal battle?"

"No! Not once!"

Vega explained the reason why he couldn't sleep and eat: "Although the empire knew that it was too late to rescue the thirteen cities in the central hinterland in this battle, in the style of the empire, whether it was out of temptation or to disgust us Forget it, they will definitely send troops to compete with the blocking army I set up in Balkan City, but this time they didn't come."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Vega continued: "The situation on other fronts does not apply to us here. I think that wars are always about winning more and less about winning. You can take me as a paranoid patient, but even so, please everyone Use your wisdom and speculate with me about what else the empire might be able to turn around in such a desperate situation."

"The main force on the eastern front has been restrained by Mr. Okasos, so it can be ignored."

"The western front is also held back by the Alliance and the Principality of Baya, so there must be no extra troops to support here."

"There are 27 defenders in Lops City, more than enough for self-preservation, but not aggressive enough."

"There are no reinforcements outside, and all the inside lines are lost. The empire is indeed powerless."

"..."

Everyone started discussing with each other, but no one could think of a way to turn the tables.

The last brigadier general looked at Vega and said, "I'm very sorry, Your Royal Highness, with the loss of Kareni, we really can't think of any possibility of the empire's comeback, unless the kingdom betrays us and cooperates with Lops If the city attacks us negatively, then we will have no way forward, no way back, and only a dead end."

"But it must be impossible"

A lieutenant general shook his head and said, "It's true that we are wiped out by the empire. The kingdom's national power is not enough to stop the greed of the empire. Just as we need the existence of the kingdom to contain the empire, they also need us."

Everyone echoed, deeply convinced of this analysis.

But at this moment, Vega suddenly stood up from his seat, his face was pale: "You just said... What will happen if the Royal Army cooperates with the city of Rops in Kareni to attack us negatively?"
