Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 457: Riot: Asymmetry

"Kafka, the Count in the North has sent Steam Knights to support the military operations in the New World colonies. What should we do next?" At the representative meeting of the Workers' Union... no, it should be called the Revolutionary Committee, a representative was asking Karen.

When Kallen announced the start of the uprising, the original Workers' Union was reorganized into the current Revolutionary Committee.

However, although the name has changed, the overall structure and specific membership composition have not changed much. Karen's brother Kevin joined the organization with a group of like-minded officers and became one of the representatives.

In a sense, Kevin's joining is a good thing for Kallen.

So since Karen came back from Chernobog last time, she has been very concerned about military issues. Whether it is the original workers' pickets or the current revolutionary army, Karen has always been concerned about their training and organization.

Thanks to her great reputation, the area controlled by the Revolutionary Committee has now occupied one-third of the entire New World colonies.

Of course, this one-third needs to be filtered out to some extent, after all, it is a desert, right?

When Kallen's brother joined the Revolutionary Committee, it not only provided the Revolutionary Committee with much-needed military strength, but also provided a platform for Kallen to control the Revolutionary Committee.

After all, Kevin is Kallen’s biological brother, and perhaps in the future they will have disagreements or even go their separate ways.

But now, with Kevin's help, Karen has enough authority over the Revolutionary Committee and the territories controlled by the Revolutionary Committee.

Facing the representative's question, Karin, who still used her pseudonym, thought for a moment and then looked at Kevin: "Mr. Kevin, have you understood all the contents of the booklet I gave you?"

"For now, I have mastered all the contents of the booklet. If what you mean, Kafka, is that I should take people to deal with those steam knights, I can only try my best." Kevin did not say anything definite, or pat his chest to say that nothing would go wrong.

He just told the truth. After all, he really had no confidence in fighting against Steam Knight.

Although the booklet that Kallen gave him explained how to win an asymmetric war, Kevin had realized how valuable this booklet was through the battles between the Revolutionary Army and the New World authorities' army.

But even so, Kevin was still worried and felt somewhat uneasy.

After all, it was Steam Knight.

“Is that so…” Although Karen sensed Kevin’s uneasiness, she had already made up her mind and had to act decisively: “I understand your concerns, Mr. Kevin, but we have already lost the possibility of compromise and concession!

So no matter what comes, we have to defeat them!

And it's clearly written in that pamphlet that we don't need to go head-to-head with the Steam Knights, right?"

"No, Kafka, you misunderstood. I'm not worried that the Steam Knights will have trouble dealing with this!" Kevin looked at Kallen, shook his head and said, "Although the Steam Knights are powerful, they are not invincible. What I'm really worried about is whether this incident shows that the Earl of the North has paid attention to this matter and intervened.

It is unwise for us to provoke the Earl. The power she possesses and the damage she can cause are extremely terrifying."

Kevin thought that Karen didn't understand, but how could Karen, who had slept side by side with Perfect, not understand all this?

On the contrary, it was precisely because Kallen understood and knew what Perfect could do that she was so confident.

Even if he could not openly express his support for the revolutionary cause, Perfect was already one of the revolutionaries, their comrade and friend-in-arms, not an object to be eliminated or worried about.

Even though Perfect had said at the beginning that she would spare no effort to suppress the riot started by Kallen and the others until they were able to defeat her.

Kallen knew that Perfect would show no mercy in the suppression, but she also understood that as long as she followed the plan agreed with Perfect, the suppression of the Steam Knights would not be a problem for the Revolutionary Army.

"So we need to defeat the Steam Knights and the Northern Earl behind them! Because only in this way can we truly usher in the victory of the revolution!" Kallen stood up, waving her hands and emphasizing what Perfectcot had told her: "I know that the enemy's power is too strong for us to deal with now, but in the face of the great goal of the victory of the revolution, all powerful enemies will eventually be defeated, and we will win and defeat everything!"

Although these are just a few nice words that sound encouraging but actually have no effect, we have to admit that they have a very significant effect in boosting morale.

At least after Karen finished speaking, many representatives who had been wavering before now actively expressed their "firm beliefs" to the Revolutionary Committee.

Kallen calmed the representatives present and then made a strategic deployment.

Although Kevin is far superior to Kallen in terms of professional military qualities, with the knowledge taught by Perfectcott, even Kallen can still be competent as an army commander.

"In this operation, we will still use asymmetric warfare as the main guiding ideology and carry out asymmetric warfare." Karen explained her tactics to the delegates: "As long as we destroy the railway and cut off the logistical supply of the Steam Knights, these knights who consume much more energy than ordinary soldiers will be fat meat delivered to our doorstep, waiting for us to drive them all out of our own homes!"

"Destroy the railway? That's one way." Kevin listened to Karen's explanation while thinking carefully about what shortcomings Karen still had in her tactics.

Kallen's command is usually simple, just setting a big goal and some guidelines, and leaving the rest to the commander to perform on the spot.

The advantage of doing this is that it will not undermine the independence of grassroots command. As for the disadvantages, of course there are also disadvantages. That is, if the grassroots officers are not good enough, their ability to perform on the spot will be very limited.

However, with Kevin, a professional soldier who has received complete officer education and training, the strength that the Revolutionary Army can exert is guaranteed.

Moreover, they have experienced many battles during this period of time and the team has been trained, so there will not be any big problems with Kallen's command.
