Chapter 735 (1/2)
October 10, 292 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.
Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon fortress, command room.
In recent days, snowy intelligence has been transmitted from spies lurking in the territory of the Holy Hiran empire.
Su Cheng frowned slightly at the large amount of information piled up in front of him.
Willie, standing on Su Cheng's side, whispered to Su Cheng:
”Commander, although there is a lot of information that general Dong's early arrival has led to major problems in the logistics supply of the Hiran army. But this is most likely a false intelligence deliberately spread by the Holy Hiran Empire to confuse us. ”
”Yes.” Su Cheng replied in a deep voice, ”I know.”
The intelligence transmitted by these spies is not entirely reliable.
Different spies send back different information.
For example, now: some spies say that there is a big problem with the supply of the Hiran army, but some spies say that the supply of the Hiran army has not been greatly affected.
Some intelligence may even be deliberately spread by the Holy Hiran empire in order to confuse Su Cheng and others.
Blocking intelligence and fighting intelligence warfare - this is the specialty of the British Empire.
On the eve of the ”Spring Awakening” offensive two years ago, the British Empire deliberately spread that the ”Spring Awakening” offensive was false intelligence against the Frankish empire by virtue of its beautiful ”deception battle”, which deceived the Lorraine Empire and made the Lorraine Empire neglect its prevention.
In the face of this massive amount of information, I don't know which is true and which is false. Which to believe depends on the ability of the commander of Tongbing.
Staring at the pile of intelligence in front of him, Su Cheng pondered for a long time:
”... no matter whether the supply of the Hiran army has collapsed or not, general Dong's early attack will definitely affect their supply transportation.”
”This is for sure. The only problem is the severity.”
”The larger the army, the more difficult it is to replenish its supplies.”
”There are nearly 300000 combat troops of the Hiram army outside the Great Wall, and the total number of its logistics troops will not be less than 500000.”
”The supply and transportation of an expeditionary force with a total scale of nearly one million - an army of this scale will affect the whole body.”
”If something goes wrong in one link, the whole supply line will go wrong.”
”This year's winter general attacked more than a month in advance - this abnormal phenomenon has not appeared for a long time. Even I didn't expect this situation.
”Even I didn't expect it. I don't believe anyone in the Hiran army opposite could expect it.”
Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused.
After a moment of silence, he continued:
”In fact... This year's abnormal weather has been heralded before, but we didn't care.”
”Winter has been getting colder and colder since several years ago.”
”Because the winter is getting colder and colder, the war horses in the two horse farms in the North do not grow well.”
”In order to solve the supply problem of war horses, I was forced to go to the veteran of Carol at the beginning of last year and invite the blacksmith who knows how to make horseshoes.”
”Last winter, it was so cold that Carol and Eliza didn't want to go out. They let me go back to DIDU alone to attend the year-end dinner.”
After this year's winter general's early attack, Su Cheng finally woke up: this year's abnormal weather did not happen suddenly. It began to appear a few years ago.
