Chapter 608 "The Victory of the Proson Empire is in Sight" (Update 42/84)

At the same time, in the heart of the Proson Empire, the Eagle's Nest.

"Three months after the general mobilization, our total military strength has reached 930 million! The number of troops on the Eastern Front has even exceeded that at the beginning of the war, and has exceeded 410 million, of which million are deployed on the front line."

The Celtic Marshal held a map stick and gestured on the map while explaining.

"We are constructing a fortification zone in the center of the front. Once completed, we can release the strength of 18 reorganized divisions for use in other directions.

"In addition, in order to solve the supply problem on the front line, the highway network we started to build in 914 has been completed this year, which has significantly improved our transportation capacity in the muddy season. It can be predicted that when the summer campaign is launched, our supply situation will be better than ever before."

The emperor nodded: "Very good, how many troops have we assembled?"

Marshal Celtic: "In the planned main attack direction, we have assembled a heavy force group of 12 first-wave infantry divisions, 8 armored divisions, and armored grenadier divisions. The density of troops exceeds any of our previous offensives."

"It's not enough!" The emperor shook his head. "We need to strive to break through the front with 150 tanks per kilometer! We need to confuse the enemy from the beginning and make it unable to react! We also need to equip the troops with at least four heavy tank battalions and 200 of the latest heavy tanks!"

Celtic Marshal: "If we want to achieve this goal, the attack will need to be postponed until July."

"It doesn't matter. If we postpone it to July, our new medium tanks will also be put into combat. We have three new medium tank battalions and three hundred of the latest Leopard tanks! The Antes will be shocked by our strength!"

The Celtic Marshal glanced at the others.

General Moltke, Director of Armored Forces: "The performance of the new tank is excellent, but... uh, the test site reports that the failure rate of the new tank is a little high, especially after the new armor plate is installed. There are some problems with the balance of the overall vehicle. There are quite a few - uh, I mean, some reports of broken front wheels."

Emperor: "These problems are all acceptable! If the front guide wheel is broken on the battlefield, the tank can be stopped and used as a turret to support others in combat! After all, it is not an Elephant tank destroyer without a turret."

Previously, Proson called armored combat vehicles without turrets assault guns. Now they have learned Ant's name and named the new Elephant tank destroyer (pronounced Panza Ya Ge).

By the way, Colonel-General Moltke was the strongest supporter of this name change, because when they were previously called assault guns, these vehicles were always assigned to infantry divisions as support forces for the infantry divisions.

Now it is called a tank destroyer, so it should naturally be given to the armored division, because the function of the armored division is to destroy the enemy's armored division, that is, "tank destroyer."

It was this name that allowed General Moltke to seize almost all the elephants into the hands of the armored divisions, leaving the infantry with none.

General Shiplin was so angry that his teeth were itching.

The Emperor stood up and walked around the conference table, saying, "In the past two years, our attacks have been quite successful at the beginning. Even Rokossov had to resort to some treacherous tricks to escape from our encirclement!

"We almost caught him in the first year, in Orachi! He abandoned a large number of troops and escaped in a panic!"

The Imperial Propaganda Minister has been busy discrediting Rokossov in recent months, so Rokossov's combat operations in Orachi were described as a complete failure. The final result was that Rokossov escaped with only his wife and concubine.

The so-called miracle of Orachi is just a lie from the Ante propaganda department.

In order to cooperate with the propaganda minister, the Imperial Household Ministry sent out military police to completely turn Orachi into ruins and kill all the witnesses of the battle. The emperor naturally knew this, but he obviously believed part of the propaganda minister's statement.

"Now," the emperor continued to pace, "we will once again repeat that victory on the fields of Khazaria! Rokossov will surely flee like he did last time!"

After the emperor finished speaking, Dr. Porsche of the Imperial Military Academy stood up and said, "This time, we will also use the new Goliath remote-controlled weapons. These remote-controlled mine sweepers will efficiently clear Ante's minefields and explode in the enemy's positions!

"We will also deploy the latest Nebelwerfer rocket launchers. Last year, the Ants used large-caliber heavy rocket launchers to cause panic in our army. Now we are also deploying rocket launchers of the same level!
"We mounted a total of six launch frames on both sides of the SDKFZ251 half-track vehicle to fire 480mm Nebelwerfer rockets. When they are fired in unison, they make a sound like the death scream of a Stuka, a land Stuka!

"The Empire's technology will crush the bravery of the Ants!"

"Well, of course! In fact, we have a new type of bomb under development, and the raw material factory in the north has been completed, which will provide us with the necessary raw materials continuously.

"Once we have enough weapon-grade raw materials, we can complete this weapon! As long as we detonate one, the entire Ante will surrender! The war will end completely!"

The emperor stopped and looked around the conference room. Then, just like when he first gave a speech many years ago, he clenched his right fist and looked up at the ceiling, as if he was explaining his destiny: "The victory of the Proson Empire is in sight! I will prove that the light of technology will replace the grace of God!"

The generals present looked at each other in bewilderment.

There had been rumors of a new type of bomb for a long time, but the generals did not understand science and did not know about chain reactions, so they just thought it was an ordinary bomb.

(In fact, the nuclear bombs of World War II were just the ultimate enhanced version of ordinary bombs, and even the United States only built a few of them. Considering the scale of World War II, the deterrent effect was greater than the practical significance.)

But the generals still stood up and clapped their hands hard.

Amid the applause, several secret agents from the Imperial Household Ministry opened the door with serious expressions and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

Emperor: "What? It was bombed?"

The Imperial Household Ministry agent looked at the generals present, nodded, and whispered, "Yes, the heavy water plant was attacked by Komanda, and the key facilities were completely destroyed."

The emperor took a few steps back, but his good friend Giles supported him in time.

Then Gilais turned to the emperor's chief guard and said, "Go and call the imperial sister. She is the only one who can appease His Majesty now."

"Yes." The captain of the guards quickly left the room.

Emperor: "Gilice, don't worry about me. I have experienced this kind of thing many times. It still can't defeat me! Dr. Porsche, you should immediately ask Dr. Heisenberg to fly to the heavy water plant to see how long it will take to recover..."

Dr. Porsche looked embarrassed: "We have been unable to contact Dr. Heisenberg since yesterday."
