In just 3 days, all the millions of troops of Brunitania in the Far East and Indochina were annihilated on the battlefield, which really shocked the world, especially the more than 60-meter-high bipedal mechanical Titans of the Human Union. This kind of weapon configuration with powerful mobile artillery, volcanic artillery, earthquake artillery, plasma artillery, etc. was even more shocking, making Brunitania and other countries watching the war suffer from a strong fear of insufficient firepower. In the rear of their respective camps, they desperately produced artillery, tanks and missiles. The weapons research that had been sealed and suspended was even more allocated. Personnel, funds and materials were allocated to have the ability to resist when the Human Union arrived, or the capital for negotiation.
The belated Xiuzenel had to dock the main force of the Brunitania Pacific Fleet in the only place that could be docked, Hakodate, Hokkaido.
Cornelia left Dalton as the commander of the Sendai front, and brought Kilford and other surviving Knights of the Round Table to meet with Xiuzenel here, and reported the front-line situation to her brother and her father.
In the video conference, Charles with the curly hair had a gloomy face. If Cornelia hadn’t been commanding the battle at the front, he would have been slapped twice.
Charles said in a low voice:
"Now, the empire is in crisis. The Far East and Indochina can no longer be saved. The 09313 area that controls the Strait of Malacca can no longer be saved. Australia, which is rich in mineral resources, is also in danger. Whether it is war or peace, as the commanders of the frontline operations, you can speak up if you have any opinions. Cornelia, you go first."
"Yes, father."
Cornelia moistened her throat and said:
"From a military perspective, with the [Human Union] deploying a giant KMF called Titan on the battlefield, our army’s current KMF Sunderland, or the 7th generation KMF exclusive to the Knights of the Round Table, are no match for it. In addition to the aircraft, the imperial army exposed the problem of backward weapons generation gap in the battle with the [Human Union]. As a result, they have been suppressed and beaten, causing the front line to retreat step by step, millions of elite soldiers died on the battlefield, the land area has shrunk significantly, and other colonial regions have even seen different voices of resistance."
"I suggest…"
Cornelia took a deep breath. What she said next would make her father angry and deprive her of her command, but she had to say it to the soldiers fighting on the front line.
"I suggest abandoning District 11 and retreating the front line to Guam-Ryukyu, and retreating to Central Siberia and Central Asia in the Far East. At the same time, the army will be replenished, weapons will be updated, and space will be used to exchange for time."
In the conference room, the atmosphere froze instantly, and even Emperor Charles on the video screen seemed to feel the depression. Cornelia’s words were like a sharp knife, piercing the heart of the empire, touching the reality that every royal family member and senior general was most reluctant to face.
"Abandon District 11?"
Charles’ voice was mixed with disbelief and anger.
“That is the most important colony of our empire, a symbol of conquest! Your proposal is tantamount to announcing our failure to the world! I ask you, what has been lost?Sakura Stone in Area 11, what drives the Empire’s KMF? It can’t be oil, or the new energy under development. Without Sakura Stone, the Empire has already lost half! "
Cornelia clenched her fists, her eyes firm: "Father, I understand your feelings, but war is not an emotional contest, but a realistic game. Although Sakura Stone in Area 11 is important, compared with the survival of the Empire, we must make the most rational choice. Retaining the living force and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack is the most sensible strategy at present. The Empire has lost too many elite troops, and it will take several years just to replenish them."
Cornelia continued:
"Moreover, retreating to the Guam-Ryukyu line can use the natural dangers of the ocean and existing military facilities there to build a defense system and slow down the offensive speed of the [Human Union]. The [Human Union] now has the army and air force. The Far East retreats to Central Siberia and Central Asia (bdfg), which can not only lengthen the enemy’s supply line, but also rely on the vast territory to carry out guerrilla warfare and consume the opponent’s strength. At the same time, we must speed up the development of weapons, especially counter weapons for giant KMFs such as Titans. Only in this way can we turn the tables in the future. "
Ania, the Knight of the Round Table standing next to Cornelia, also spoke in support:
"Your Majesty, although Her Highness Cornelia’s suggestion is difficult, it is the most feasible option at present. The glory and face of the empire are important, but the continuation of the empire is more critical. We can’t let the fearless sacrifice continue, and we must consider the future of the empire."
Xuzenel was standing by. Although he was unwilling, he also understood the severity of the situation. As the chancellor of the empire, he must learn to make choices. What’s more, his good brother Odysseus was imprisoned in Luoyang because of him and has not returned yet.
He nodded slowly and added:
"Father, the navy will also fully cooperate to ensure the safety of the sea during the retreat, and at the same time look for opportunities to strike the sea forces of the [Human Union] to reduce the pressure on land and air. ”
Emperor Charles was silent for a long time, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. Finally, he slowly spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his voice:
“Okay, let’s do as you say. But remember, this is only a temporary retreat, in preparation for a more violent counterattack in the future. Cornelia, you are fully responsible for the retreat, and you must ensure that it is orderly and rapid. At the same time, all weapons research and development projects have been launched in the empire. No matter how much it costs, we must have our own Titan-class KMF weapons! ”
After the meeting, Cornelia, Xiuzenel and others quickly took action and began to implement this difficult but necessary retreat plan.
The movement of the Bunitania army could not be concealed from the nearby [Human Union] army. Under the order of Shangguan Wen, they only attacked symbolically and then allowed the Bunitania army to gather and evacuate. This move was quite puzzling to the outside world, but in fact, it was part of Shangguan Wen’s careful layout.
Since the [Human Union] integrated technology, under the leadership of Victor, various technologies have made rapid progress. What they lack most now isAn opportunity to show the world the strength of its weapons of mass destruction. Although these weapons, such as vacuum implosion bombs, proton impact cannons, and super-energy wave destruction devices, have been developed for a long time, they have never had the opportunity to test their true power in actual combat.
The Brunitania Navy and the surviving army, who retreated to the rear and thought they were safe, are the best experimental subjects! .
