Chapter 470 Situation between ourselves and the enemy
After receiving Purfict's letter, Major General Richard immediately sent his adjutant to welcome Purfict and his party into the military camp.
After some disguised pleasantries, Major General Richard sent away the other irrelevant people, and Purficott also asked Samantha and her brother to go out to guard, and then sat down. , said to Major General Richard: "Uncle Richard, I am not very satisfied with your performance. Although you have played pretty well during this period, the command post was raided. Regardless of whether the other party wants to attack your command The Ministry still wants to assassinate you and cause such a big loss. This is not allowed."
"I'm sorry, Lord Count!" Major General Richard did not talk to Perfico. He didn't contradict me very much, but he bowed his head and admitted his mistake very sheepishly.
Although he is the major general of the Guards in charge of the Northern Army, and this is also his headquarters, he really seems a bit humble in front of Purficott.
However, even if it were anyone else, it is unlikely that they would be tough in front of Purficott. Whether it was the military or high-ranking government officials, I am afraid that no one would be tough in front of this young Earl. Confidence and capital.
After all, this is a talented girl who has been ranked among the important ministers of the empire at the age of sixteen. She can be regarded as a powerful minister in her power.
When it comes to power, identity and status, I am afraid that only Her Majesty the Queen of the Empire can surpass Perficott. Even the eldest princess, who is the heir to the Empire, has to sell her some points. face.
"If the apology was useful, I wouldn't have come in person." Purficott waved his hand and didn't care about Major General Richard's attitude.
In other words, if Major General Richard behaves more unruly now, maybe Perfectcott can still look up to him.
Of course, Purficott didn't mean to look down on Major General Richard, but she really didn't care about it.
Compared with these, she pays more attention to how to solve problems.
So Purficott came to the map laid out in the headquarters. After taking a look at the enemy and friendly signs on the map, he asked: "What is the current situation between the enemy and us? Don't be fooled by the things written in the battle report. I, I want to know the most real situation. "
Things like battle reports are used to deceive people. Whether it is to deceive the headquarters or the people, the real information on the real battlefield cannot be released directly. .
After all, in that case, on the one hand, important military intelligence of one's side will be leaked, and on the other hand, it will be detrimental to the morale of the people.
Of course, the usual approach is to simplify the battle report and only announce whether the battle was won or lost, as well as how much was lost and how many enemies were wiped out. Other details will not be announced to the public.
As for the base camp battle report like that of some Red Deer, forget it. No one with a brain will believe their outrageous stuff.
Moreover, battle reports can be deceiving, but battle lines cannot. If you are winning steadily, why does the battle line keep retreating?
Because of this, Purficott just glanced at the battle report submitted by Major General Richard and didn't bother to read it. Unless it was a big victory or a big victory, there was really no need to read this kind of thing.
Although from a practical point of view, he has indeed maintained a winning streak, but neither the advancement of the front nor the casualties of the troops can be said to be a great victory. "Yes, Lord Earl." Major General Richard hurriedly stepped forward and introduced the current situation to Purficott: "Currently, our army is still on the offensive against the revolutionary army. They previously tried to attack us in the Mihir Valley. The enemy's army blocked the attack. Thanks to the advance of the Steam Knight, our army successfully defeated the enemy's blockade.
However, because the colonial garrison could not keep up with the pace of our army's advance and the combat quality and other issues, our army did not expand its results. After the enemy was defeated, it was still able to calmly return from the battlefield. retreat.
Currently, the enemy's main forces are concentrated in the Stansol City area. They have assembled about one division of troops, intending to block our army with the help of the military fortresses left over by the empire when it conquered the New World.
Before my headquarters was raided, I was planning to launch a small-scale battle to break through the enemy's defenses, thereby opening up the road to Pignisberg and launching an attack on the enemy's base. ”
On the map, you can intuitively see that the garrisons of the New World colonies are basically surrounding the northern army, and they seem to regard the northern army as the spearhead of the attack.
"Is the situation of the colonial garrison very bad?" Purficott looked at Major General Richard and asked a crucial question.
Although Purficott knew that the colonial garrison was very stretched, she did not know exactly how much.
Faced with this problem, Major General Richard struggled for a while, but then decided to tell the truth: "Well, although it is not a good evaluation, if it is the 17th Guards Division, one step The strength of the corps can defeat a brigade of the colonial garrison.
With the assistance of steam knights, this ratio can be expanded to a division.
And this is still based on the 17th Guards Division without attachment. In the case of the cavalry regiment, if there is a cavalry regiment to cooperate with the operation, under suitable terrain conditions, I can completely wipe out the opponent's brigade. "
Although Major General Richard's description is biased, and war is not such a simple conversion of proportions, if he is just describing combat effectiveness, there is really no big problem with what he said.
"Well, is that so? What about the Revolutionary Army? How big is the combat effectiveness gap between them and the colonial garrison and the Guards?" Purficott looked down at the markers on the map. The eyes of Stansol City and the military fortresses surrounding the city flickered, seeming to be thinking about something.
“The revolutionary army has better weapons and equipment than the colonial garrison. It seems that they have obtained the design drawings of new firearms. In addition, these workers have a strong will to fight, even if the Guards deal with them It will also feel a little difficult." Major General Richard evaluated the combat effectiveness of the Revolutionary Army very objectively, with a serious expression on his face: "At present, the training level and combat quality of the Guards are not comparable to that of the Revolutionary Army. , not to mention the equipment advantage, but if this war continues, the revolutionary army with sufficient war experience will soon develop a force that is not inferior to the Guards
<. br>Without the participation of the North, with the level of garrison in the New World colonies, they would definitely lose the war, and the revolutionary army would even win easily."
"Yes, then. It seems that this war needs to be ended as soon as possible." Purficott nodded slightly, seeming to have made a decision.
