Perbov met the returning Martins.
Although he is the commander-in-chief of all military operations on the Black Arrow under the appointment of the Governor, the Space Marines are always the most different.
He is still very respectful to Martins.
"Your Excellency, Chapter Master."
"Huh" Martins let out a sigh of relief.
He also did not behave coldly or inhumanly in front of mortals. He just said calmly, "Our actions failed to meet expectations. After the raid on the palace of the Kingdom of Pampos, the leader of the rebels was not there. Through interrogation, we learned that the leader of the rebels was not there after the incident in the Kingdom of Stefano. Precautions have been strengthened in this regard, and the political and military centers have been dispersed and relocated."
Martin paused and continued, "If we need to carry out similar operations, we need more reliable intelligence. Support. We need to find out exactly where the enemy chief is."
"Understood." Purbov responded seriously, as if he was a subordinate.
Martins nodded slightly, turned and left.
Watching the chapter leader go away, Perbov did not relax until he was out of sight.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
There is still a sense of tension when facing Space Marines.
After all, the Space Marine's identity is too special. Regardless of theory or practice, Martins can deprive him of his command at any time.
Although this is actually unlikely, Martins is not the person to do such a thing, and there is also the Governor above.
However, to be honest, he has been a little anxious and angry recently.
Earlier, when the offensive against Stefano was launched, he also led the battle.
That battle was still a good one.
But as the main force entered Pampos, the battle situation began to have some problems.
The Alliance army's offensive is still so overwhelming. Once the armored cluster is dispatched, the enemy's front will collapse. The ordinary infantry of the coalition forces of various countries are very weak no matter from any perspective. Even compared to the Stefanos, the equipment may be similar, but the training, tactics, discipline, and morale of the soldiers are all different.
To be honest, none of the so-called knights and sentinel mechas among the coalition forces of various countries can fight against them. Many of them even risked their lives on the battlefield.
It is very simple to think this way. The status of ordinary soldiers in the coalition forces of various countries is too low. Coupled with the social structure of feudal rule, those aristocratic grandfathers really do not treat the lower-level cannon fodder. Destiny depends on fate.
The Stefanos are much better in this regard. In addition to being officers and commanders, their knights are also upright and know how to take the lead and fight bloody battles. It is precisely because of this that they were able to establish their status as the most famous military power on the Black Arrow Star.
Even they were defeated by the alliance in the previous warThe army was crushed again and again, not to mention the coalition forces of various countries whose standards were far inferior.
However, the opponent is not without advantages.
First of all, there is a huge difference in military strength. The Kingdom of Pampos, with a population of over 100 million, was able to raise an army of only two million men. The total number of reinforcements sent by other countries has exceeded 500,000.
Quantity itself is a huge advantage.
If the one-million-strong army of the Stefanos had really assembled, it would have been a problem if they had squared off and fought hard on the vast plain battlefield.
Secondly, they have largely learned from the experience and lessons of the Stefano people being swept through. With an army of more than two million people, they have opened up a very long and three-dimensional system. Multi-layered fronts.
This makes the league's blitz less effective.
If you want to break through the armored cluster, you can indeed break through at will, and the enemy will indeed collapse at the first touch. But they are adopting the strategic policy of changing space time. When the arrow troops pass by, the troops on the surrounding fronts will soon try to penetrate to the rear of the arrow. The forces of both sides will fight in a stalemate here.
Even if the penetration is easily defeated, they will immediately mobilize other troops from further away to try to penetrate.
Anyway, there are many of them.
Under the constant entanglement, the two sides showed that they were stretched as wide as possible, stretching almost more than 400 kilometers between their teeth.
In this case, the alliance's forces were spread very thinly, which was very unfavorable for clenching into fists and fighting forward.
For safety reasons, Purbov even had to temporarily retreat his troops, regroup, shrink the front line, and avoid being surrounded by cutting off their retreat.
Although, at this stage, the alliance still has an absolute advantage in the battle loss ratio between the two sides.
After more than a month of fighting, the alliance army lost a total of about 5,000 people, while the enemy suffered more than 60,000 battle losses.
The battle loss ratio of about 1:12 is already an exaggeration.
However, even so, Perbov is not able to accept this status quo.
If the battle continues at this battle loss ratio, the Alliance's army will be dead, and it will only be able to recover at most four million enemy losses.
But the problem is that after the alliance defeats these more than 300,000 people, they will be gone, unless the Raging Owls launch a mobilization order in the mainland and fight to the death. But the nations might be able to raise another four million troops.
War cannot be fought like this.
So Perbov wanted to copy the previous tactics in the Kingdom of Stefano, and asked the Storm Mage Group and the Phoenix Chapter to implement decapitation tactics on the enemy.
The psykers and space warriors did not disappoint. They once again successfully entered the enemy's palace and caused an uproar.
However, knowing that the Stefanos suffered a big loss under this tactic, and that he really had no way to deal with the beheading of the Space Marines,How could the moving King Pampos stay stupidly in his palace, waiting to be beheaded?
He ran away long ago.
Not only did he run away, but the entire kingdom's military and political governments were dispersed to ensure that even if there were problems such as intelligence leaks, they would not be caught once. The group is destroyed.
The beheading of the enemy leader failed, and Purbov’s army could not quickly break through a distance of thousands of kilometers, break through the three-dimensional defense line composed of more than two million troops, and enter the capital. There is no way to replicate the splendor of the Battle of Stefano.
Perbov even heard that the king of Pampos had already appointed fifteen heirs in good order.
This is because I have made up my mind that I will die.
From this perspective, although the alliance army was not defeated, its offensive was also truly blocked.
Although he found it a bit difficult to accept and even a little embarrassed mentally, Perbov still tried his best to think of the next solution.
It seems unrealistic to expect quick victory every day.
He began to change his thinking.
If you can't win quickly, then just follow the normal thinking of conventional warfare.
He is preparing to make a change in strategic goals.
The previous strategy can actually be summarized as quickly eliminating the enemy's command system and occupying key locations such as the capital to create a terrible political disturbance and force the enemy to surrender.
Next, he plans to change the strategic goal to using the mobility capabilities of the armored forces and the excellent military quality of the alliance army to carry out various pincer operations with the goal of wiping out the enemy's effective forces as much as possible. Offensive, form an organized and large-scale annihilation of enemy forces.
If you cannot surrender by capturing your king, then you will achieve final victory by draining your manpower pool.
He has prepared a war plan, but it needs the support of Governor Gu Hang.
This plan requires the use of the power of the New Kingdom Council.
He also needs a large number of local levies from Black Arrow Star.
For example, half a million royal troops have been assembled in the rear; if necessary, he hopes to increase this number to one million.
In this way, after having enough line-filling troops, Purbov does not need to force his elite troops to be guarded separately in various parts of the defense line, but can truly form a Punch his fist forward.
He will use the armored troops as arrows to launch a single-point breakthrough from two different positions to form a pincer offensive. Then, before the enemy in the middle runs out, close the pliers and surround all the enemies in the middle. When supplies are cut off, hold the encirclement until the enemy inside collapses and surrenders.
In the previous battle, the enemy army was defeated. As long as it was not eliminated on the spot, even if it temporarily lost its fighting ability, it oftenIt will soon be reorganized and put into battle again; and if it is surrounded, there will be nowhere to escape. Without supplies and under complete siege, based on the morale of the coalition forces, it is estimated that they will have to run out of ammunition and food in two or three days before fully surrendering.
Of course, in this process, the alliance's army will definitely still have to face the onslaught of enemy reinforcements, and will also encounter the pressure of a desperate breakout from the surrounded enemy forces.
But as long as you win once, it is often a huge gain.
Moreover, many tasks that require the number of troops can be handed over to the servant army supplemented from the rear.
It can also be left to the Space Marines.
A battle with their participation will greatly reduce one's own losses.
After all, these superhuman warriors can quickly eliminate the enemy's most threatening targets in battle. Whether it's raiding artillery positions, killing Sentinel mechas, or even confronting the enemy after they dispatch the Knight Titans, the Phoenixes can complete their tasks very well.
With a feeling of apprehension, Perbov embarked on the Wind Falcon fighter plane heading to Pinser, the capital of the Luman Kingdom.
He is going to report in person.
When Gu Hang saw Perbov, he had just finished another meeting.
Originally, he had another plan next.
He had to pay attention to a person he had always been curious about and who had been changing.
But when Perbov came, he still took the time to meet his general.
After listening to Purbov’s report, Gu Hang was a little dissatisfied.
This is not quite in line with his expectations.
He also hopes to be able to replicate the glory of the Battle of Stefano again, conduct another beautiful raid and blitz, and eliminate Pampos, the number one power on the Black Arrow Star, within two or three months. The territory and population of this kingdom will also be included in the new king's parliament.
In this way, the situation of the entire Black Arrow Star can be considered settled, and the main focus of the subsequent work can be changed from military operations to economics and politics.
However, Purbov really brought him bad news.
But even though he is dissatisfied, he can also understand.
Nothing will be smooth sailing, and nothing can be done quickly.
A war in which the combined number of combatants from both sides exceeds the three million mark cannot be considered small-scale in any way. A quick win is a surprise and cannot be expected to become the norm.
Gu Hang quickly adjusted his mentality and agreed to Perbov's strategic plan.
But he also made his own demands.
"If you want one million servants, we can't give it to you. It's only 700,000 at most, and it's impossible to give them all to you in a short period of time. It's estimated that 200,000 will be available in half a month, and 200,000 in three months." 500,000, and 700,000 to 800,000 will be available in half a year.”
"Yes, I understand." Purbov nodded seriously.
He actually expected this situation.
He is a general who only needs to think about how to fight the war and what he needs to win the war.
But the Governor is the ruler, and he has many things to consider.
The new King’s Parliament has just been established. Although there are two large countries, Luman and Stefano, plus nine small countries, with a total population of nearly 150 million, this new King’s Parliament Under its crude construction, it is still very fragile, and its dominance over other countries is currently only based on military deterrence.
At this time, it is unrealistic to draw millions of people from various countries to participate in the war.
If you want to draw manpower to participate in the war, you must wait for the new King's Council to gradually deepen its control over various countries as the ruling body of the alliance.
Moreover, he further thought that he would not be able to defeat the battle after the follow-up manpower caught up.
If it keeps winning, help from various countries will continue to flow; once it loses, the new King's Council, which is built on military deterrence, will immediately be at risk of collapse.
Gu Hang also mentioned this point, "If I give you people, the battle must be fought beautifully. I need beautiful victories one after another. The number of casualties and the proportion of casualties must be controlled, and the results of the battle must be controlled." It has to be brilliant enough, do you understand?"
"It is the Governor who guarantees the completion of the mission"
"Go ahead"
Gu Hang watched Purbov leave. After sitting in the office and thinking for a while, I didn’t worry about it anymore.
Now that the decision has been made, I believe that the generals under my command can get things done.
His thoughts returned to the thing he was thinking about before.
That’s about a person.
The Apostle of War, Poggio Gallardo.
The man who caused countless turmoils in the Pegasus Sector is currently in Gu Hang’s Kingdom of Storm God, with his eyes tightly closed.
He is not dead, but he is close.
Now, what Gu Hang is thinking about is what to do.
It would be easiest to let him die, but Gu Hang had some new ideas. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
