Chapter 399: Alternative gameplay

"I really want to know how your Majesty made such a bold decision." Looking at the map in front of him, Walter, who was already the commander-in-chief of the First Army at a young age, touched his chin and face. Asked filled with doubts.

In fact, when entering the Holy Demon Empire, Ailan Hill's main force had already discovered that the enemy's road conditions were very bad.

In order to make up for the bad road conditions, Ailan Hill was frantically laying railways and building roads. On the one hand, the frontline troops are also being equipped with more cars to make up for the lack of transportation capacity.

However, transportation vehicles are always inadequate. To transport one truck of fuel to the front line, another truck of fuel must be used.

To support the consumption of a large army group, transportation by cars and airplanes is obviously very uneconomical.

Walter also clearly remembered that in order to reduce the cost of the offensive, His Majesty the Emperor endured the Dothan Empire for more than half a year before launching the Southward Campaign. The entire Dothan area was captured in one fell swoop, and the myth of the rise of Elan Hill was achieved.

But now, in the Holy Demon Empire, Walter deeply felt the unfriendly local environment.

The road conditions of the Holy Demon Empire are actually very bad, most of the roads are paved with dirt, not even the roads.

The 1st Army Group’s offensive under such road conditions was itself severely restricted.

“Originally, we applied for 400 transport vehicles, but I don’t know why this time, none of them were approved for us.” The chief of staff shook his head, looked at the slightly messy desktop, and complained: “Our transport The team is already overwhelmed. In this case, there is no difference between continuing to attack and committing suicide."

"The army's fuel will be in short supply, and the Air Force will also lack transportation vehicles to relocate its field airfield... We are now at the limit of advancement." He pointed to the critical point on the map, and said to General Walter: " If we push forward about 50 kilometers, we will collapse on our own."

"If we are to attack the Gushan defense line according to the current situation, it will be a dead end. But I don't think that your Majesty, who has always attached importance to logistics supplies, will make such a mistake." Walter stared at the map, still thinking.

After besieging Ronšek, the 1st Army Group and the 3rd Army Group were not even in a hurry to attack. They just stood there, refitting their communication systems on the one hand, and waiting for their supplies on the other.

The General Command promised to provide them with sufficient supplies. This is a prerequisite for the empire to order the first army group and the third army group, and even other subsequent army groups to attack.

This offensive order came from a dozen days ago, when Ailan Hill was suddenly very conceited and prepared to launch a large-scale counterattack in three directions at the same time.

You know, this is not a general counterattack, but a large-scale counterattack across the board. In order to prepare for such a battle, all fronts are frantically rushing to transport their own supplies.

But even so, the materials needed from the frontline are still pitiful, and even the trucks that transport these materials are still scarce.

Except for the southern line, the Imperial General Staff came forward and barely gathered 4,000 new cars and formed some new car transport regiments to support the offensives of Modler and Coria. The remaining western lines and On the southwest front line, none of them were supplemented by a new car.

In other words, even if these troops have enough materials, they do not have enough capacity to transport these materials to the front line to support their own troops.

"I hope this time, His Majesty the Emperor can solve our problems..." The Chief of Staff of the 1st Army Group folded his arms and said with a heavy tone.

"It's not hope, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely solve our problems!" General Walter emphasized firmly.

...

West of the magic city of Ludnar, which was preserved after the surrender, on the brand-new railway bridge erected on the St. Runos River, the crowded infantry of the 20th Army Group were carrying their weapons and passing slowly. This bridge is 30 meters wide.

These soldiers, who have served for more than a year, have participated in very few battles. Because they have been following behind the 1st and 2nd Army, taking over and occupying cities and maintaining local security, there are not many strong offensive tasks.

Moreover, the equipment of these units is not very sophisticated, generally only equipped with Mauser 98k rifles, as well as M4 tanks and other weapons.

It can be said that these troops are actually World War II-level troops, and the tasks they perform are not too important.

After all, no matter how defying Ailan Hill is, it is impossible to fully arm a modern army of 10 million in a short period of time.

So, of course, Ailan Hill, who has mobilized 10 million combat troops, is truly the main force, only about 2 to 3 million people. Most of the rest are reserve forces like the 20th Army, which are fully equipped to perform low-threat missions.

"What's that?" Suddenly found that the sun above his head was blocked by something. A soldier squinted his head and saw a giant flying above his head.

This behemoth is almost 200 meters long and more than 100 meters wide. The huge body is like a battleship, covering the sky in the true sense, bringing a strong sense of oppression to everyone who sees it.

"Oh my God..." A captain, ignoring his restraint, raised his head and looked at the unprecedented and unheard of huge flying object, shivering subconsciously.

These soldiers, who were equipped with m42 helmets, and most of them equipped with as little as the Germans in World War II, all stopped, looked at the things flying above their heads, and exclaimed from time to time.

They don't know what this huge thing is, but they can still feel an unprecedented sense of pride.

"Long live Ailan Hill!" I don't know who shouted first, and then tens of thousands of troops screamed frantically at the sky. Everyone was shouting hysterically, and at this moment they were sincerely proud of their motherland.

Behind this behemoth flying in the sky is another behemoth, which looks the same in size and even looks exactly the same!

Between the two behemoths, there are still two helicopters hovering. These helicopters are relatively outdated uh-1s, hovering between two huge flying vehicles that look like hills.

Farther away, another equally huge aircraft lined up with the two of the same kind in front, and it looked even more magnificent.

"If we still can't win... then just die." The commander of the 20th Army raised his head and watched the fifth huge mountain fly over his command headquarters, seriously dealing with the staff around him. Long said with emotion.

"Yeah... When did we become so strong..." Even if I saw it with my own eyes, the Chief of Staff still had a strong sense of unreality. He also raised his head, agreeing with his commander's words.

...

In Serris, Chris looked at Vivienne triumphantly, as well as the dumbfounded Desaier and others, and said with a smile: "You think I'm working on a super warship, so I really only do it as a warship?"

He clasped his chest, held his chin open, and said sarcastically: "People in the magical world, they look too one-sided. Let a castle fly, let a city fly... It turned out to be a battleship to fight the enemy hard. Don’t they think it’s too wasteful?"

Speaking of this, Chris shook his head again: "In fact, they are not blamed. After all, they do not rely on the logistics of Ailan Hill, nor do they have so many advanced weapons and equipment. So after they have a floating castle , The first thing that comes to mind is to use it as a battleship to go to the front to show off."

Chris took out a hand and pointed his finger at himself: "We don't need to do this! So we can play more comfortably."

"So, you use all the steel plates used for shipbuilding that were abandoned in the port of Ferry City, weld them together to make a large steel plate, and then carve them on the floating array, let them float...transport massive quantities Supplies?" Vivian raised her eyebrows and asked.

She felt that what Chris was thinking in his mind was really terrible. He could always think of aspects that others could not think of, and solve problems that others could not solve.

Since the floating array can fly a castle of hundreds of thousands of tons or even millions of tons, it can also fly the same weight of materials.

This thing is much easier to use than some airships. As long as the magic energy is sufficient, it can run almost infinitely.

Because there is no need to participate in war, there is no need for too high intensity. It's enough to keep the air on, so the technical difficulty is also very low. Only need to assemble some power devices, so that they can fly forward faster, and can turn, everything is done.

The terrible thing is that such a cheap super transport plane can transport so many and so heavy materials of a castle to the front line, which is enough for an army to spend a long time.

Moreover, it can transport materials from Serris directly to the front line, without a transfer station, and without a large amount of energy consumption.

"The only drawback is that this thing is not strong... as long as the enemy attacks, it will crash with supplies worth billions of gold coins." Chris nodded and said to Vivian.

"This is not a shortcoming at all, okay?" Vivian squinted at Chris with contempt, because her t800 **** puppet was on these huge transport ships at this moment.

On top of Vivian's **** puppet, there are dozens of air force fighters responsible for protecting these transport giants.

Who can attack these transport giants under the **** of a dozen super **** puppets and dozens of fighter jets?
