You call me a big treacherous evil?

Compared with the intense firefight the previous day, the second day's salient battlefield was deathly silent.

Both the Teutons and the Lucians stayed in their trenches, staring at the opposite side, but they didn't have any intention of attacking at all.

In the meeting room of Fort St. Nicholas, the debate between the Teuton representatives and the Kanglian representatives was as fierce as a battlefield.

Although the two sides who met each other wanted to seek peace at the negotiating table, they talked about encircling, annihilating, and attacking in an all-round way.

Teutonic representative: Your defense line is as fragile as paper. We can reach Fort St. Nicholas in a month.

Kanglian representative: We surrounded your two armies.

Teutonic representative: Your battle damage ratio is frighteningly high. How much manpower do you have left to consume?

Kanglian representative: We surrounded your two armies!

Teutonic representative: You are facing a civil war, and we can support your Army Group on the Southern Front.

Kanglian representative: The Americans are going to stab your ass soon.

Teutonic Representative: Let's talk about the two armies.

Finally, after intense and brief negotiations, the two sides declared a ceasefire and signed an armistice agreement.

The price was that Kanglian, which had just been born, lost a large area of ​​Siswadia legally, but kept several outlets to the North Sea.

Both sides got what they wanted, but the truce here was just to prepare for the other two more brutal wars.

056 False Peace ([-] in [-])

Victor was on the front lines checking defenses when the news of the agreement came.

Although from a military and political point of view, Victor believes that the probability of success of the peace talks is very high.

But just like this completely unnecessary battle, Victor is really worried about some people in the Politburo.

Be hopeful, but not completely hopeful.

So on the second day after the siege was completed, Victor had an obsessive-compulsive disorder and went to the front line to check the defense and inspect the troops.

By the way, ask the second platoon leader to move the machine gun 50 meters to the left.

Then Victor saw how much the troops had paid in yesterday's crazy attack.

Half of the establishment of the teaching regiment was emptied, and two-thirds of the members of the other infantry divisions in the best condition remained.

Finally launched a charge, and pierced through the last four kilometers of cavalry regiments in the evening, and directly reduced their numbers to become cavalry companies.

As for the mecha troops... there are no mecha troops anymore.

Now the maintenance company is worrying about those mechas that have been retrieved from the battlefield with missing arms and legs.

There is not even a usable mecha in the two mecha regiments.

But it's not without good news.

Because of the rapid advance, they captured hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers, hundreds of machine guns, and dozens of Teutonic mechs that could be put into use after simple repairs.

Generally speaking, the troops have lost their offensive capabilities, but they can still hold up if they switch to defense.

Just as Victor was inspecting the defense construction in the trenches, the Politburo sent news of the signing of the peace treaty.

Basically, both sides are bounded by the actual control area before the launch of this battle, and Kanglian ended the war at the cost of losing Siswadia in legal terms.

The next thing was that the two sides began to withdraw their troops from the front line.

Three days later, troops from both sides disengaged, leaving only token troops on the border.

Victor, who had just presided over a battle, did not have time to rest. General Anton announced that Kang Lian had betrayed his national interests by negotiating peace with the Dun people, and announced that he would fight for the king to save the emperor who was imprisoned by Kang Mi.

Victor could only mobilize a part of the troops that suffered relatively light losses in the battle, and go to Tsaritsyn to build defenses to buy time for the formation of new troops and the replenishment of old troops.

Although General Anton had already sent troops to march in the direction of the Kremlin before announcing his troops to serve the king.

However, Victor, who had just ended the Battle of the Bulge, successfully intercepted General Anton's advance troops [-] kilometers north of Tsaritsyn.

The reason why Victor, who was the farthest, was able to intercept General Anton's advance troops so close to Tsaritsyn was not because Victor was too fast.

It was because General Anton was moving too slowly.

Although General Anton had already sent troops to take the train to go straight to the Kremlin like Victor came to Tsaritsyn last time when he announced the king.

But the Komi branch of Tsaritsyn played a role at this time.

When they learned that the troops were going north to attack Kanglian, the railway workers began to do a little damage on the front of the train.

The train broke down eight times in just one hundred kilometers, and it was not even as fast as the troops came on foot.

And relying on this little sabotage by the railway workers, Victor was able to successfully intercept General Anton's troops.

And at the first contact, an infantry regiment successfully defeated the cavalry division that was the forward of General Anton.

This kind of battle result was able to be achieved because although the infantry and mech troops suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the Bulge.

But the artillery unit did not suffer too many losses.

So this time, besides the dozen or so divisions, Victor also brought a full eight independent heavy artillery brigades to have a film with General Anton.

After determining the maintenance time of those mechas, it is basically close to the time to rebuild one.

Victor removed the machine guns and artillery from these mechas and added them to the infantry divisions.

At the same time, as a commando officer, Victor was still moving to the front line, and programmed how the anti-mech teams equipped with 37mm artillery removed from the mech should be deployed and used.

So although it was only an infantry regiment that encountered the cavalry division, the firepower of the infantry regiment that served as the vanguard was greatly enhanced by Victor.

Not only does it not lack machine guns like other infantry regiments, but each company is also enhanced with two additional heavy machine guns and two anti-mech teams, as well as a mortar captured from the Teutonic.

Although the shells of these mortars were limited, this kind of luxurious firepower managed to beat General Anton's cavalry division into confusion.

The major general commanding this cavalry division even felt that he was fighting an infantry corps.

So after they failed the attack on the first day, they chose to stop and wait for the support of the infantry division that strengthened the knight company.

When the infantry division and knight company arrived the next day, they attacked again.

Then I got a more miserable result than yesterday.

Because that night another infantry regiment, which had also been strengthened, and an artillery battalion of an independent heavy artillery brigade equipped with 76mm artillery also rushed to the battlefield.

After the Yan Army troops bombed indiscriminately as if shells were free of money, the stunned White Army troops lost the courage to attack, and the Yan Army troops were unable to launch an attack because their numbers were much smaller than the White Army.

So the two sides decided to continue to wait for support from the rear.

While the Yan army and the White army had an encounter and began to confront each other, the Teutons evacuated from the Eastern Front were not able to rest.

While the troops were withdrawing, the Teutonic General Staff began to plan how to send troops from the Eastern Front to the Western Front.

What these officers are most interested in now is to find out from those troops who have fought against the Lucians, how waste wood such as Lucia managed to penetrate the defense line of two elite troops more than 20 kilometers deep in one day.

For this reason, they found surviving frontline officers and soldiers to understand the situation.

After some questioning, they were surprised to find that the tactics used by the Lucians were so simple and rude.

It is nothing more than heavy artillery washing the ground, coupled with the cavaliers' cluster attack.

In the follow-up battle, the troops were dispersed on the front line, the artillery attack was launched, and the sudden all-out attack after that also had a good effect.

So what if you combine these things with the already mature commando tactics composed of elite soldiers who use a large number of automatic weapons?

After all, after the regime change, the already weak mech troops of the Lucians became even weaker at this time.

The original exchange ratio of 1:1.1 to 1:1.2 in the Battle of the Bulge even brought the exchange ratio down to about six to one.

Well, since the concentrated use of such weak Kanglian mecha troops can achieve this effect, then using this tactic by the already dominant Teutonic knights to attack Brandenia and Franche, then What will happen?

The Teutonic High Command appears to have discovered the code that will bring this war to a swift end.

The generals turned their attention to the sad place four years ago, where they were only the last short 36 kilometers away from ending the war.

Their train guns have even been able to bombard Franche's capital, the impregnable city of iron towers.

But in the end they still ended up with hatred in front of the river.

Now these generals began to reorganize their troops, preparing to defeat Franche before the arrival of the Americans.

Peace did not come with the signing of a peace agreement between Kanglian and Teutonic, but it burned more vigorously.

Although Victor basically only has some patchwork troops in his hands now, when Victor led the main force towards Tsaritsyn, Victor still received some unexpected support.

That is fifteen armored trains that have completed their preparations.

Unlike Victor's "armored" train that was temporarily modified with ordinary wagons, these fifteen armored trains are land battleships designed for combat from the beginning of their design.

Not only has a uniform armor of more than 100 mm, but also has a 360-degree rotatable turret and a complete firepower mix ranging from 152 mm artillery to heavy machine guns.

Due to the scene of vigorous competition in Lucia before, and most of the emperor's military police were either maintaining order in the big city or suppressing soldiers on the front line.

Therefore, in order to maintain the order of the empire, except for some armored trains that were transferred to the southern line to beat Bryansk, the rest of the armored trains were scattered all over the empire to suppress those who had ideas in their heads.

It's not that the emperor didn't want to use the armored train to chat with the Teutonics, but that at the beginning of the war, some generals sent out armored trains to try to stabilize the front line when the situation was unfavorable.

Then those armored trains were educated by the Teutons.

After blasting the rails, a round of heavy artillery was taken away, which made General Lucia understand that the armored train can only be used to bully children.

Although it sounds incredible to use armored trains to maintain law and order, this kind of thing that looks like Wood overflowing has indeed effectively reduced the occurrence of many vicious cases.

After all, "traditional finance" is not a patent with a lot of power. This job is basically a job with an almost infinitely low threshold.

As long as you are brave, you can make a fortune with half a catty of explosives.

And what Lucia has never lacked since ancient times are these doers.

After all, digging potatoes in Kimberia is Lucia's specialty, and the ruthless people cultivated in the vast land of Kimberia have always been very hardcore.

When facing these ruthless people, the consistent principle of the Lucian Second Empire is to launch military police, knights, and armored trains one by one!

So after the seizure of power, the work of collecting these armored trains scattered all over Lucia has never stopped.

After all, Kang Mi's basic base is workers, so the work of gathering these armored trains has been smooth.

So when Victor made an emergency deployment in the direction of Tsaritsyn, in order to stabilize the line of defense.

The Politburo handed over all the dozens of armored trains to Victor.

After obtaining these armored trains, Victor, who had already started a confrontation with General Anton, did not attack rashly. .

Instead, let the troops continue to build trenches, without the mad dog posture of beating the Teutons before.

When facing Joseph's question, Victor explained it like this.

Because of the existence of Anton, the hidden enemies within us will not be at peace, they will jump out and cause a little damage. This is our chance to clean these bad things.

And those bourgeoisie, nobles, and restless rich peasants will not just sit back and watch Anton be destroyed.

So we have to give these bad elements a chance to jump out.

Joseph agreed with Victor's statement in principle, but still hoped to end the civil war as soon as possible.

After all, Kangmi's revolution is a revolution on the production side, so we still have to go on the road of construction in the end.

The less damage a civil war does, the less expensive it is to build.

Of course, Victor couldn't agree more with what Joseph said.

So Victor asked Joseph to go to Fort St. Nicholas for training.

After the end of the war with the Teutons, the Politburo had decided to relocate the capital of the Kremlin to the Kremlin due to the close proximity of Fort St. Nicholas to the border.

So the current St. Nicholas Fort has returned to its original position as a transportation hub and an industrial center.

At the same time, Ilyich also managed other members of the Politburo, and passed Victor's previous plan to reorganize [-] divisions.

Due to the previous long war on the Western Front, there was massive war weariness among the original Western Front regiments.

So after the end of the war with Teutonic, Victor allowed those veterans who had had enough of the war to retire, which was regarded as fulfilling the peace promise made by Komi at the beginning.

This is also the reason why Victor dare not launch an attack easily even if he has more than a dozen divisions in his hands, has a certain advantage in firepower and is supported by armored trains.

There are too many new recruits in the army, and these new recruits can't show much difference from the veterans in the static defense.

But when it comes to launching a major offensive, a platoon of veterans can do as much as a company of recruits.

And now the veterans in Anton's hands are longer than the recruits in Victor's hands.

Victor really didn't have the confidence to use these recruits to defeat Anton's experienced veterans.
