Chapter 604: Intelligence War Goes First
Weisenjun’s civility and courtesy left a deep impression on the locals and promoted economic development.
The large troops set off, and many people felt sorry for this.
In a castle on the front line, Justice Suarez was holding a military meeting.
Archduke Suarez wants to train his successor Luis. Now all military information is gathered into Luis's hands, and he will then compile and report.
Now is the wheat harvest season. When there is enough food, the war will surely start until there is not enough food.
Louis reported: "Our army burned down five granaries last month, all of which were newly harvested this year, which will cause food shortages in a short time."
The officers in the conference room All of them had bitter looks on their faces. They were fighting for food, and they couldn't pick up weapons when they were hungry.
Behind the Duke of Alansati opposite is the Kingdom of Gaul. The Kingdom of Gaul has greatly increased its grain production after purchasing fine seeds and fertilizers from the Duchy of Wesson, and there is no problem of food shortage.
Only a few people here know that those five granaries were burned deliberately.
All the female spies sent by the Kingdom of Gaul were found. In order to make the other side think they were useful, Archduke Suarez sacrificed some granaries.
In addition to these five, there are several other granaries that have been saved due to strengthened defenses.
In the current situation, the Duke of Alansati and the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Gaul have advantages in military and logistics. According to common sense, they will launch a large-scale attack in the near future.
Louis began to report on the enemy's military situation: "The recent behavior of the Gallic army is very strange. Their main force is dispersed, their camps are strengthened, and they also stockpile a large amount of wheat straw."
In the conference room There was a lot of discussion immediately. Such arrangements and preparations were very abnormal.
It stands to reason that whether it is offensive or defensive, the army should be concentrated on the battlefield. There is no reason for dispersed deployment, and it is not stationed domestically to reduce logistical pressure.
And prepare the wheat straw, what is that?
Archduke Suarez coughed twice, and after the conference room quieted down, he said: "They are afraid."
The officers had questions on their heads. Who are they afraid of? It is definitely not afraid of themselves.
Someone reacted and asked: "You mean, the Gauls are afraid of the Wessons and Osmaga?"
It is now known to everyone that the Wesson Army and the Osmaga Army landed in the city of La Cobriga. Although they have always said that they were going to fight the heretics, who dares to really believe it?
Not only the Gauls, there are also many people on Grand Duke Suarez's side who think they will join their side.
Grand Duke Suarez nodded, and then said slowly: "The night witches of the Wesson Army are extremely powerful. Weapons dropped from the sky can easily blow up the camp."
"So the Gauls Spread the camps out, and even if one camp is blown up, it won’t be that big.”
Everyone thinks it makes sense.
Everyone has studied the battles of Wesson's army. After the birth of the thermal airship, it will appear in every battle and serve as the main force in destroying the camp.
There is also Frederick. From the beginning, he rode a winged unicorn and threw things into other people's camps. This was a fighting method that was almost carved into his bones.
So in order to prevent air raids, the Gauls dispersed their camps and collected wheat straws to light cigarettes to block their sight.
Grand Duke Suarez glanced at a few of his cronies, made a gesture with his eyes, and then said very seriously: "When you go back, you will select a group of young people. You have these requirements."
"First, be loyal, have good character, and don't cause trouble, otherwise you will be killed at your own peril."
Many officers were shocked. Could this be selecting spies?
The risks of being a spy are high, but the rewards are huge.
Some people can't help but think that it is better to send their own children who have no inheritance rights to strive for wealth.
Grand Duke Suarez continued to say seriously: "Second, at least understand Pulan, preferably German, and be able to communicate with allies. It would be best if you have been to the Rhine League. "
Many people have not turned their heads, wondering whether they are going to send spies to the Principality of Wesson?
Before they could think any more, Archduke Suarez added: "Third, to know how to fight, it is best to be very familiar with the geographical environment of the war zone."
The conference room was silent at first, and then it seemed to become It was noisy like a hornet's nest.
“What’s going on?”
“You still don’t know? Be the translator!”
“That means the Weisen Army is going to fight with us? ”
"If there is no war, why should I follow you to find your mistress?"
"But isn't their commander the son of Prince Moritzaki across the street?"
"What about the son? He is not the heir. The ranking seems to be impossible to count with one hand."
Under the guidance of several pre-arranged agents, the officers began to believe that the Wesson Army was about to join their side to fight against the Duke of Alansati and the Kingdom of Gaul. Archduke Suarez pinched his beard and was very satisfied with the current situation.
He didn't say a word that Wesson's army would come to join the battlefield, it was all their own thinking.
After the meeting, Archduke Suarez and Luis came to the secret room to discuss the next step.
Grand Duke Suarez asked: "What's going on with the Kingdom of Lisenberg and the Kingdom of England?"
He did not have enough troops and needed more allies, so he sent people to The Kingdom of Lisenberg and the Kingdom of England asked for help.
The wife of Grand Duke Suarez is the princess of the Kingdom of Lisenberg, and the occupying forces of the Kingdom of Gaul were driven away from the Kingdom of Lisenberg a few years ago, so reinforcements were promised.
The Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Gaul are across the sea, and it is purely a matter of helping whoever is weak on the mainland, so they agreed to help Archduke Suarez.
Louis said with some distress: "The reinforcements from the two countries will have to wait until next spring at the earliest."
Grand Duke Suarez was already prepared for this outcome. The lord asked the vassal, and the vassal It takes a lot of time to find your own vassal.
He envied Frederick very much. When there was a war in Hanma City this spring, the army of the Duke of Wesson was ready and set off within a month. This speed of start-up was unimaginable in other places.
In order to delay time, he directed today's play.
Archduke Suarez said to his son: "In the next time, you can make more trips to La Cobriga. You can invite Eugene and other officers to be guests here."
Louis thought for a while and said: " Eugene may have gone to the St. George Fortress with the vanguard, and Erich, their chief of staff, should be there.”
“According to the division of labor within the Wesson Army, the chief of staff is responsible for formulating the plan.”
"We can invite him here, and the excuse is logistics."
Archduke Suarez nodded and agreed to his approach.
This is for the other party to see. Anyway, the person came over and said they were talking about logistics. Believe it or not.
Archduke Suarez found that there was one more detail to add.
He said: "You have to do one thing when you are talking to Erich. See if you can ask their military to help purchase a batch of our military uniforms."
Louis thought about it. Thinking about it, he slapped his thigh and said, "Yeah, why did I forget this."
Wesson's army went to fight the infidels, and with the military uniform as a cover, it can be worked out that they will replace Archduke Suarez. clothes to fight the Gauls.
Louis remembered another thing and said: "My sister has been buying clothes from the Principality of Wesson. I think I can work in this area."
Grand Duke Suarez immediately agreed.
His daughter Penelope had an affair with Frederick, and later started a clothing business with the Duke of Wesson. All the nobles in the Kingdom of Tarago knew about this.
If you put it into practice, you can further believe that the local military uniforms that Wesson's army will wear are hidden in the military uniforms that Penelope brought back.
The key is that Archduke Suarez really has a lot of military uniforms imported from the Principality of Wesson.
The Principality of Wesson has benefited from the overall development of the clothing industry. In recent years, military uniforms suitable for combat have become a top product and are imported by many countries and regions.
In some places, the armies of several lords wear imitation Wesson military uniforms. The styles are exactly the same, but the colors of the fabrics are different.
Grand Duke Suarez said: "You make arrangements, and the news about the military uniforms must also be passed on."
Then he continued: "Screen the people you recruit, and try to learn what Wesson's army is. How to fight. "
Military intelligence is pieced together from countless pieces of information, large and small, true and false. Sometimes one detailed piece of information can confirm or subvert all other information.
The military uniforms were really shipped, but they belonged to Grand Duke Suarez himself.
Young people are indeed recruited to serve as translators in the Wesson Army, but their main task is to study. Grand Duke Suarez also wants to form a similar army.
With these information and some guidance, people can piece together the intelligence that Archduke Suarez sent translators and prepared military uniforms because the Wesson Army would change uniforms and join the civil war.
"By the way." Archduke Suarez thought of something else, "Remind others that old Wesson died at the hands of the Gauls."
Louis immediately wrote it down, this is Addresses Frederick's motivations for getting involved in the war.
After a series of combination punches, Frederick scratched his head when he arrived at the city of La Cobriga, thinking that he had given an order to join the battle.
