Wei Jie
Chapter 1462 Focusing on Desola
Inside a military vehicle, Kang Dinghuang listened to Commander Warhammer’s complaints on the phone. After a long silence, he said sternly, “My friend, you only remember that District One owes you over a billion in military expenses that haven't been settled, but you forget that in recent years, you’ve relied on District One and its surrounding connections to get over five billion in military aid from us! It’s this money that has transformed your armed forces from third-rate to first-rate. I’m not sure if you’ve started negotiations with the Hua region, but what’s so attractive about a unified place with no war to you? Do you want to take your armed forces there to be security guards?”
The other party was silent, not saying a word.
Kang Dinghuang softened his tone and continued, "The southern region is a coalition of interests with District One at its core. I believe you should have a clearer choice. I will try my best to get the Military Political Council to settle 60% of your previous military expenses and help you sign a military strategic contract allowing you to station troops in cities near District One... That's all I can do."
The other party weighed it for a long time, finally saying, "The forces I can gather now are less than 40,000, and they will only go to the battlefield after you pay that 60% of the military expenses. After all, my soldiers aren't doing charity; they're willing to pick up guns to make money."
"Okay, let's do that for now."
Kang Dinghuang hung up the phone after finalizing the deal. He leaned back in his seat, loosened his collar, and felt exhausted.
Given the current situation in the Desola region, coupled with the pressure from Bai Qiao, he had to solve the reinforcement problem now! But judging from the attitude of the upper echelons, District One's inland troops would not move for the time being because they were being held in check by the Hua region.
Therefore, the only strategic approach Kang Dinghuang could think of was to ensure Desola's safety through external means.
If Bai Qiao could hold Desola, even if he couldn't break out, he could form a standoff with the old Mo allied forces, containing them and preventing them from supporting The Dragon City.
In that case, given the current war situation in The Dragon City, the Tan Mingzhao and Xin Xiaodong troops stationed there would definitely not be able to hold out for long, and the scales of victory would still tip towards District One.
Therefore, the issue of reinforcements for Desola was urgent and must be resolved!
After thinking for a long time in the car, Kang Dinghuang picked up his phone and made a call…
…
Meanwhile, at the headquarters building of the Hua region Legion.
Commander Wang, dressed in a crisp military uniform, was walking quickly down the corridor. He held the phone and asked, "Xiao Kang, how's the situation on your end?"
"The situation in Desola is like this..." Kang Dinghuang explained the situation and then made his request: "So, Commander Wang, I need reinforcements here."
"I just finished a meeting with the Military Political Council..." Commander Wang paused, then continued, "The proposal to send reinforcements from District One to Desola has been rejected. Even if there are reinforcements, they will be sent to The Dragon City, because that is our ultimate goal. We will not send troops into old Mo to confront the Hua region. Moreover, we have received reliable intelligence that the other side has already stationed troops in many areas of the Southern Alliance."
Hearing this, Kang Dinghuang was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "I agree with the Military Political Council's decision, but if Bai Qiao's forces can hold up the old Mo allied forces, it will also be very beneficial to the Dragon City battlefield. Otherwise, if we lose our support, Bai Qiao will decide to surrender, and Su Tianyu's main force will directly head north and attack The Dragon City."
Commander Wang pondered for a moment, then asked, "What cards do you have in your hand now?"
Kang Dinghuang immediately replied, "I am currently gathering large-scale private armed forces around the area, and I also need international support."
Commander Wang understood what he meant, so he thought for a while and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Kang Dinghuang paused for a moment and replied, "First, the issue of the military expenses owed to the Warhammer armed forces must be resolved by 60%, and a District One overseas military cooperation agreement must be signed with them, giving them some of the surrounding areas to be planned for stationing troops..."
Commander Wang slowed down his pace, thought for a long time, and then said, "Okay, these are not big problems. You can play your cards there, and I will take care of the rest."
"Good!"
The two ended the call.
After communicating with the Commander-in-Chief, Kang Dinghuang immediately began to play his cards. In addition to contacting the Warhammer armed forces, he also contacted some pirate armed forces and mercenary armed forces in war-torn areas.
Although these troops had low combat effectiveness, he believed that as long as he could integrate a large force and rely on Desola's defense system, he could still form a standoff with the old Mo allied forces.
As long as the situation returned to the pre-war state of confrontation, his strategic goal could be achieved.
Four hours later, the six member countries of the Northern Alliance in District Two announced that, given the chaos in the old Mo region and their friendly relations with the Bai Qiao government, they did not rule out the possibility of sending troops to support the Desola region.
At the same time, the most famous foreign legion under the Northern Alliance, with a century of history, dispatched 20,000 troops and headed for the Desola region, using its own military base as a springboard.
…
Meanwhile, more than two hundred kilometers away from the Desola region.
Nearly 150,000 troops from the old Mo official army and the Renmin Army Joint Forces were fully deployed along the offensive line.
Su Tianyu sat in the command room, carefully studying the military map in front of him. Desola was not a very large island city, and the difficulty of attacking it was much smaller than that of The Dragon City.
In the room, Zhao Weihu, Wang Dingyuan, and several old Mo generals sat next to him, discussing tactics.
At this moment, Gu Baishun walked in. Seeing that the room was full of people, he first greeted everyone, then saluted Su Tianyu, "Report!"
Su Tianyu smiled and said, "Don't be so formal! Come, sit down and talk! What's the situation on your end?"
Gu Baishun sat next to him, thought for a while, and asked, "Have you all seen the news?"
Zhao Weihu said with a smile, "I saw it. Didn't the Northern Alliance say they were going to send reinforcements here? Dammit, six regions made such a big fuss, but only 20,000 people came??? Damn, are they looking down on our Hua region's cannons?"
"Hehe." Gu Baishun nodded, then continued, "In addition to that, I also received a piece of intelligence. The Warhammer mercenary group, pirate groups, and some surrounding private armed forces, with a total force of more than 100,000 people, are currently heading towards Desola from the sea. At most, they will complete their assembly in Desola within two days."
As he spoke, he placed the military intelligence he had compiled on the table.
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
Zhao Weihu thought for a while, turned his head to look at Su Tianyu and said, "If that's the case, then our offensive line is only about 300 kilometers away. Let's just attack directly! Otherwise, it will be difficult to chew on this bone when his 100,000 people come in. Even if the defense line is breached, as long as these people stay in the city and continue to fight guerrilla warfare, it will be difficult for us to take Desola in a short period of time."
The chief of staff of Santos next to him also nodded and said, "I agree with Commander Zhao's opinion. If the other party's reinforcement scale is like this, we should take advantage of the fact that they have not assembled and directly attack into the interior of Desola!"
"Don't rush." Su Tianyu looked at the map on the table and waved his hand, "Bai Qiao likes to call for people, right? Let him continue to call! I won't beat him up until he's finished assembling!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Su Tianyu finally raised his head, put his hands on the table and said, "The more critical the situation, the less mistakes we can make! If we attack rashly and let the troops get stuck in Desola, it will be difficult to get out and difficult to retreat, and we will fall into District One's trap instead. If we want to fight, we must strangle it with absolute certainty! What Warhammer armed forces, what pirate groups, can those troops fight? With these few troops, we fought all the way from the south of District One to San Paolo. A bunch of losers! They were useless when we were at a disadvantage, and now that we are strong and full of momentum, they are even more useless. There's no need to care about how many people they have stationed. As for the Northern Alliance, they can just shout. If their big brother doesn't come down, are these people idiots? It's impossible for them to come and fight us in person."
Saying that, Su Tianyu's expression was firm, and his voice was paused as he said, "A bunch of rabble, not worth worrying about, we must not let them disrupt our rhythm! Notify all troops to continue to station troops! I have no other requirements. Within two days, all 300,000 inland troops will be at the 300-kilometer mark. At the same time, build east and west artillery positions on both sides of Desola, and clear all the surrounding miscellaneous buildings with a wave of fire to clear the way for our infantry!"
Hearing what Su Tianyu said, everyone was still a little confused, but the facts proved that this young man's ability was fully qualified to be the commander-in-chief.
Therefore, after hearing the order issued, everyone immediately got up and shouted in unison, "Yes!"
After giving the order, Su Tianyu turned his head to look at Gu Baishun, "Arrange a plane for me. I'm going to meet Commander Santos in person now and talk to him."
Gu Baishun nodded, "Okay."
Half an hour later, Su Tianyu left the command post and boarded a helicopter bound for Guada.
Sitting in the cabin, he directly dialed Jiangzhou's phone and said to him, "I need military equipment! A lot of military equipment! Armored vehicles, tanks, I want them all!"
