Chapter 1007 (1/2)
British Empire, Rhineland plain.
The third day of the Rhineland battle.
Three days have passed since the British and Frankish armies fought on the Rhineland plain.
In these three days, the two armies just kept exchanging attack and defense. So far, there has been no breakthrough change in the war situation.
But that's normal.
After all, this general assembly war with a total military strength of 600000 is not so easy to decide.
It's 9:32 in the morning. Before dawn, the battle on the Rhineland plain has begun.
The spring morning wind blew strongly, bringing roars and wails, the sound of swords and guns, the sound of horses' hoofs and blood splashing, which expanded like surging clouds.
Ethel and Albert stood side by side in the watchtower of the array.
The two people were as like as two peas at the moment, with a calm face and frowning.
”Albert.” Ethel asked Albert next to him, ”do you think the Frankish army is strange?”
As soon as Ethel's voice fell, Albert nodded:
”As early as yesterday, I found the Frankish army strange.”
Although the confrontation with the Frankish army has been quite fierce in the past three days, and the land of the battlefield has been soaked into a bubble mud by pools of blood, Ethel and albertan still feel that the Frankish army opposite is strange.
They always felt that the Franks did not seem to be seriously fighting them.
The Frank army opposite seems to be procrastinating.
Ethel and Albert both feel that way.
”Albert.” Iser asked Albert again, ”can you guess what the generals of the Frankish army were thinking?”
”If I had the ability to accurately guess what the enemy commander thinks, I would have become an integrated knight.” Albert said witticism without expression. ”
Iser actually didn't expect Albert to give any reliable answer. The reason why he just asked Albert this question was to make fun of his old friend and ease the atmosphere.
”From the beginning of this battle to now, I have a strange feeling.” Speaking of this, Iser's eyebrows wrinkled deeper, ”I've always felt uneasy. I feel like I've missed something...”
Ethel sighed and said with a bitter smile:
”Alas, if only Su Cheng were here. If Su Cheng were here, he should be able to see something we can't see.”
”Huh? Why do you say that? ” Albert said in a half joking tone, ”do you think Iser, as the 12th integrated knight in the history of the Empire, doesn't think his ability is inferior to Su Cheng?”
”In some places, I'm really not as good as my son-in-law.”
Then Ethel pointed to his head.
”Young people like Su Cheng have a lively mind and can quickly accept and master new things. And come up with some ideas that we old people can't do. ”
”Not for old men like us. Because I am old and my thinking is solidified, it is difficult to accept new things and come up with new ideas. ”
”For example, the 'overlord counterattack' three years ago.”
”If I were to be the commander-in-chief of 'overlord counterattack', I would never think of the tactic of 'naval and army coordinated combat'...”
Speaking of this, Ethel suddenly stopped.
Then his eyes widened slowly.
Just now, when he said the sentence ”joint operation between the Navy and the army”, Iser felt a flash of lightning in his mind.
”Huh?” Albert looked at Ethel suspiciously, ”Ethel, what's the matter...”
Before Albert had finished his question, Ethel raised his hand to signal Albert to be quiet.
Then he began to think about the arrangement of their British Army on the Rhineland plain.
