Tomorrow's Ark, the journey of hardcore and ruthless people

"National Guard?" When he heard the name again, Command's expression was still very subtle.As one of Kazdel's cultural archetypes, wouldn't the People's Stormtroopers fit better?This plot doesn't seem right.What's next, Catsdale Town Commune?

"Yes, the new army has just been formed." Teresia looked serious, "People's hearts should be transformed into actual strength as soon as possible. Directly from the people of East Kazdale with the words 'The imperial government is about to take back everything you have obtained, let you Go back to poverty' slogan, mobilize a new army..."

Comand found things more and more interesting.

……

"The weather is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the harmony of people?" Teresia looked at Comand suspiciously, "You seem to be violating the principles you put forward. Please don't say riddles."

Command coughed twice: "Okay, ma'am. Let me put it this way, I can help you build a surprise army. Your Highness, today's Sarkaz mainly rely on swords for their livelihood. And this surprise army is aimed at Tracys. hilt.

"The model you just used can also be used to build an underground resistance movement. Now you have a high popularity among the states in the eastern part of Kazdale, and it is indeed possible for local operations to make a fuss about people and peace. Spread the influence of your regime to Every corner of the eastern Kazdare, and focus on uniting the grassroots people, so that there are branches in every town and groups in every natural village..."

Teresia suddenly said: "Wait a moment, what do you mean by 'targeting the hilt' mean to let Teresis's army drive straight into East Kazdale? Then start the battle behind the enemy?"

"With all due respect, isn't this the most probable thing that will happen?"

"...Yes. From the perspective of military strength, it is indeed so." Teresia suddenly slumped her shoulders slightly weakly, "Go ahead, use your method to convince me."

Comand carefully studied Teresia's expressions and movements, searching for information: "Yes, after the enemy entered the eastern territory, use the underground resistance organization to obtain information and organize resistance. This work must be carried out in the western region. And Unlike you trying to squeeze out the stock, Tracy's methods are very blunt and rough. With a weaker economic force and a stronger military force in a short period of time, it will inevitably cause greater dissatisfaction.

"Once the underground working force in the enemy-occupied area is effectively established, enemy intelligence can be obtained and the cost of the enemy's attack will be increased."

Teresia shook her head: "That's all?"

"That's all. But when the balance reaches a fragile balance, the weight of a mouse can also cause the scale to eventually tip to one side."

Teresia looked at Comand: "Then I regret to tell you that the gatekeepers in the eastern part of Kazdel hope to defeat Teresis quickly."

"What's your attitude?"

"I have that hope too."

Commander raised an index finger: "That's not hope, that's luck. Tresis's military strength is strong but lacks stamina. The right choice is to let depth take effect."

"The gatekeepers are worried that their territory will be destroyed, and from the perspective of the entire Kazdel, I also hope that the civil war will end as soon as possible."

"Such a choice is aimed at the ending of having Tracys unify Kazdaele."

Theresa looked sullen.But Comand just smiled.And Teresia regained her elegant smile in an instant, and continued to ask: "Tell me the truth, do you think we will fail?"

"If you are doomed to fail, then we will not choose you as an investment target. It would be a lie to say that we are not worried about this at all, but I think the current situation is actually not bad for you. Your financial and economic aspects With an absolute advantage, I think that as long as you have a balance of power with the military committee in the military, you will have a great chance of winning."

Teresia sighed a long time: "But at the military meeting, the representatives of the armies of various clans all tended to attack, but they couldn't reach an agreement on the direction of attack and the main attacking army. They all thought that delaying it would be bad for us."

Comand curled his lips contemptuously: "You know, they are worried that their territory will be destroyed. The current situation is that Tracys will not say that he is in a war of attrition, but is just dragging on in confrontations and small-scale conflicts. Finances will also be stretched.

"So, Tracys is eager to have a decisive battle with you to determine the outcome. Even if you don't attack, the west will be impatient to attack. Madam, you are no stranger to military affairs. You can use your well-rested and energetic troops to fight against the distant road. How much of an advantage is this for an army that is physically and mentally exhausted?"

Teresia is still worried: "The Ruhr Industrial Zone at the forefront of the confrontation between the two sides is a production base that is crucial to both sides. What if the enemy who is attacked occupies a key area? We only have that industrial zone now If this part is also occupied, even if we inflict a lot of damage on the enemy, we will be in trouble..."

"Defeating the enemy in defense is much easier than defeating the enemy in offensive warfare. Besides, if a place is more important to the enemy, then it should be destroyed immediately, or at least paralyzed."

"According to the proverb of the Yan Kingdom, you are 'you don't feel bad when you sell your father'." Teresia replied unhappily, "We have spent enough time judging the situation. Now change the topic back. Form an underground Resistance, what assistance can you offer in this regard?"

"Training courses and weaponry."

"Very well, I will provide excellent and loyal personnel. Besides, I have an intention."

"please say."

"I need your help in setting up a sabotage force behind enemy lines."

Comand narrowed his eyes: "The training of officers and sergeants is already in the previously finalized contract."

"What I want is a sabotage force behind enemy lines that supports the underground resistance organization." Teresia said slowly.

"The difference between a spy and a special soldier... I see, that's ok, I'll talk about it later. So is there any more questions?"

"No more. Mr. Commander, want to try the coffee beans from Bolivar? It's a rare commodity."

Just after enjoying the coffee with a layer of dust floating in it, Theresia walked into the hull of Rhodes Island and asked Ascalon, a member of the Banshee Court not far away, "How is the situation?"

"The nail of the regent has received false information. It is announced that you are also involved in the negotiations of Atlas."

"Very well, let's go to the General Staff."

Although Theresia no longer appears in the negotiations, the negotiation work is indeed something that both parties are eager to achieve results, and it is progressing very quickly.It only took a week for both parties to finalize and refine the cooperation project, and it was finally signed by Command and Theresia respectively.

Teresia only showed up when the contract was finally signed, signed in a hurry and left.And Wang Nu sent the first batch of students to the ship right after the contract was signed——

"Oh, it's you again." Comand looked at the student representatives lined up in front of his desk, "You're not going to be a mercenary now?"

The other party ignored it.Hedley and Ines solemnly raised their hands and saluted: "Cazdale National Self-Defense Force Commander Cadets report for duty."

W snorted twice: "Oh, my establishment is on the side of the Tower of Babel, and now it counts as that... oh, the 'destroying troops behind enemy lines'."

Commander stood up: "Time is tight, let's keep the story short. Theresia's spy scouts have sent a report. In five months at most, Tresis's attack will begin. Do you know this?"

"I know!" Hedley replied simply.

"Very good. Time is tight for you group. The cadre trainees of the National Guard will undergo a three-month crash course as infantry detachment commanders; while the trainees of the sabotage forces behind enemy lines will receive special reconnaissance and enemy rear attack training. I wish you all the best. Good luck. Goodbye."

After Commander finished speaking, he sat down and continued his work.The former Sakaz mercenaries on the opposite side turned around and left without any nonsense.

Comand opened the file in front of him and looked at the other Sarkaz.

Of course, the Kazdel column will not only contact the Sarkaz through Therecia's channel.In the local work in the border area, the column also recruited a considerable number of local employees as future industrial workers and soldiers.

Among them was one who was exceptionally outstanding.By Sarkaz's age, the 30-something was little more than a kid.However, his experience is extremely rich. He was born in a coachman's family, and he worked with his parents since he was a child, helping them take care of the affairs in the store, engaging in heavy labor such as feeding horses, washing horses, driving carriages, and delivering goods to buyers. After growing up, he worked as a porter, a land ship port worker, a coachman and a car driver.He was even forcibly conscripted into the army and escaped successfully.

After motivating quite a group of young and middle-aged people in his settlement to apply for jobs in Atlas, in addition to showing impressive communication skills and firm will, he also has a strong ability to learn, and he has made great contributions to Atlas. The basic political education of the students showed great interest and deep understanding.Later, he was selected into the local cadre training echelon plan of the Atlas Kadsdale column.

The man's full name was Ernst Johannes Fritz Thälmann.

Comand tapped on the table, then circled the name.

PS: In the next chapter, Teresia will have a big job, guess what

Chapter 15 "Barbarossa"

"Comrade Ernst Thälmann, how are you feeling?"

Thälmann looked a little reserved, his bald head was shining evenly under the light of the lamp: "Very good, Comrade Political Commissar."

Commander nodded, walked out from behind the desk, and faced Thalmann: "Comrade Thalmann. What is the current policy of the organization in ending the Kazdaele Civil War?"

"Assist the Teresia Group in establishing a grassroots organization and a new type of army." Thalman replied bluntly, "Currently, cooperation with the Theresia Group is the main focus, and struggle is supplemented; for the Teresia Group, the struggle is the main focus, and cooperation Auxiliary."

Comand nodded: "Yes, this upcoming war is the best time for Kazdel's democratic progressive forces to grow stronger and step onto the stage. You are responsible for the work behind enemy lines, and your underground organization is the future Kazdel integrationism The embryonic form of the grassroots organization of the political party. Time is tight and tasks are heavy. You are mainly responsible for the enemy-occupied area, and Theresa's people will be in charge of East Kazdale. For the next war, you are very important."

Thalmann straightened his back: "Understood. So, chief, what do I need to do?"

"In view of your outstanding performance, I now have a brand new task for you. I need you to select a group of new local comrades in the base who have relatives, friends or relatives in the railways, merchant ships and industrial and mining enterprises across West Kazdare. Gays in other relationships.

"You have to pick out the most determined and smartest among them, especially those who are particularly good at advocacy and agitation."

"Understood, Chief." There was something burning in Thalmann's eyes.

"This group of people is not under direct command, and there may not be anyone who will contact them directly. They can only rely on themselves. So you must choose the most loyal and reliable comrades."

"Yes, Chief. They have established underground organizations in the various connected areas in the west. After organizing the local transportation and raw material industry workers, will they take action individually, or..."

Comand raised a hand: "No, no, no, that will only cause a little trouble for the enemy, and let them be easily suppressed by the enemy. The effect of each action is always limited."

The raised hand patted Thalmann on the shoulder: "Before receiving the secret order, your underground front must try not to attract the enemy's attention as much as possible, and develop strength under this premise.

"You should pay attention to the radio. The code name of the operation is two sentences of dialogue: 'The air is shaking, as if the sky is burning'; 'Yes, the storm is coming'. At that time, we will use as many channels as possible to broadcast with high power .”

"I remember." Thalmann was calm and a little excited, "Comrade political commissar, I have another question. What is our goal? Government agencies? Radio stations? Or organize a mutiny in the army?"

"Don't do what you can't do. The goal is traffic. Once you receive the order, use strikes, sabotage, and even armed confrontation to firmly control Terex's cargo ships, railways, and dry ports. Carry out damage to related facilities, road sections or ships. After that signal is sent, the traffic system in Terais must be completely paralyzed within 24 hours."

Thalmann's eyes were sharp: "Understood. The last question, how should we deal with the Queen's faction?"

Commander's gaze was also sharp, piercing Thalmann straight: "This kind of problem is directly related to a crucial problem-the organization's foreign policy.

"Among the two major Kazdel groups now, the military government of the Tracys group is linked by various military leaders. It is militaristic, and uses unrestrained revanchism as the ideological core to build social consensus. Compared with Under the current situation, Theresa's regime is indeed more normal and more progressive.

"However, Theresia's regime is still a feudal regime dominated by powerful clans. At best, it is enlightened and autocratic. The Queen's attitude towards the Kazdel integrationist movement is still unclear, and there is no way to know what attitude she will have towards you in the future.

"What should you do with this bunch of seeds? That's for you to decide, I don't know. For Therese, Theresia, the Tower of Babel, and even the Integration Movement and Atlas, cooperation and compromise are It's normal, but if the relationship turns into dependence, then you have given your life to someone else.

"Your future depends on your choices. Whether you can trust the relevant forces of the Teresia regime depends on your own judgment. However, the leadership of underground organizations and armed forces in enemy-occupied areas must be firmly in your own hands. hand. So be it."

"One more thing." Comand distanced himself from Thalmann's bald light bulb, turned and walked towards his desk, and said as he walked, "The sabotage force behind enemy lines is mainly composed of our comrades and Theresia's hardcore. It is recommended that you contact these comrades who have the closest relationship with you behind enemy lines in advance."

"Yes!" After answering, Thalmann stood at attention like a soldier, and the heels of his training shoes clicked loudly.

After Thalmann left, Comand frowned and let out a long sigh of relief.

The surveillance drone that landed in the distance easily overwhelmed his muttering: "What will happen to this Thalmann?"

Before returning to work, Comand's office door rang with a "boom", and a confidential correspondent from the People's Federation rushed in: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel! Red-level emergency information!"

"What's wrong?" Comand jumped up from behind his desk.

"The Theresia Group has made a secret report to us. They will launch an attack before Theresis, within 24 hours!"

**

Emergency meeting of the Kazdel Column executive committee.

"Theresia even hid part of it from us... In other words, she came to negotiate in person, which was also part of the plan." Command looked at today's newspaper in Kazdale City coldly.It also reported photos of Theresia and Command at the contract signing ceremony, "Although it is already believed that Theresia wanted to launch a blitzkrieg, I really didn't expect that she could do it so quickly."

The moment on the photo is only three days from now.Commander had just come out of the returning land speeder and was still hot when he entered the office. He had just arranged Thalmann's affairs, and the report from Theresia arrived.

Space reconnaissance and aviation reconnaissance have also urgently sent the latest observation report: On the east side of the actual control line, the four divisions of the East Kazdale Coalition Army that had been secretly assembled before are launching a battle formation.Teresia started undisguised large-scale transportation and road maintenance activities after the notification was delivered to Atlas; the land fleet of East Kazdale, from warships to transport ships, has all left the port, and the maintenance Among the merchant ships and transport ships in Kazdale's east-west trade, the merchant ships on Teresia's side have all left the West Kazdale area at this moment.

"The briefing from Teresia said there was going to be an important radio talk at this point. Let's hear it," Comand said.

The radio is plugged into the multimedia system in the conference room.

At the same time, in Kasdale City, which was nearly [-] kilometers away, Teresia was walking quickly in the combat hall of the East Kasdale Allied Forces Headquarters.

There was a lot of noise and crowds.The young assistants listened to the playback from the headphones, and placed the red and blue flags representing the troop number and category, land cruisers and vehicle models in the correct positions on the giant map table in the center of the hall.The staff officers chatted quietly around the large-scale military map, and from time to time, one or two radio operators handed them information from unknown places.

The generals who chose to serve Theresa and supported the attack were surrounding the tables in the center of the hall, a little nervous.A little further away, the doctor in charge of organizing the entire battle remained silent, blocking all information under the mask and hood, as if he wasn't the one who coordinated the actions of the entire Theresia Group.

Teresia couldn't help smiling whenever she saw the doctor: it was right to trust him.Apart from this humanoid computer, who can set up Teresia's staff alone, organize nearly 10 people to act closely, accurately and covertly, and carry out such a "cold start" "blitz"?

When it comes to the position of the doctor in Theresia Group, it can only be described as being under one person and above ten thousand people.He led most of the operational aspects of the operation, across the front and rear.In fact, he assumed the roles of chief of staff and logistics minister at the same time.

The few transportation forces Thearesia has at hand, such as railways, roads and land craft, have been transferred to a quasi-wartime system.In order to covertly transport four divisions plus nearly 7 auxiliary troops to the actual control line.He personally oversaw the operation of the transportation system:

First, most trains and trucks operate at night and in low-visibility weather.In this case, the change of the entire transportation plan will be closely related to the weather, and the efficiency will be greatly reduced.However, the doctor solved the problem with segmental handover and transportation, and reasonable deployment.
