The East Sea Alliance mediated, and just when public opinion around the world believed that the dispute between the Kingdom of Sonia and the Kingdom of Greifanni would be settled as before, the Sonya people's tank torrent suddenly launched a blitzkrieg against the Kingdom of Greifanni.
That day was May 11, 958.
…
Inside the Military Intelligence Department of the Montenegrin Octagonal Building.
Lu Ming stood in front of a huge hanging map. The direction pointed by several red arrows on it was the capital of the Kingdom of Griffinni.
The atmosphere in the intelligence room was heavy.
No one could have imagined that the Sonya mechanics were so powerful. Equipped with the newly developed "Scavenger" heavy tanks of the Sonya Kingdom, the tanks of the Griffinni Kingdom became like pocket toys in front of them. Even bombers could hardly pose a threat to the "Scavenger".
Moreover, the fighter jets and bombers that suddenly appeared by the Sonya Defense Forces were equally stunning.
In just one week, the entire western defense line of the Kingdom of Griffinni was defeated.
The Sonyans' iron torrent was heading straight for the imperial capital.
I originally wanted to stay out of the fight and watch the two tigers fight, but I didn't expect that the weak giant of the Kingdom of Griffinni would be so vulnerable.
It is estimated that before the war, the Sonyans did not expect that the rapid corruption of the Kingdom of Griffinni had seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the army.
"Have you settled the secret envoy sent by William?" Lu Ming asked Zeng Dashou, also known as Big Head, who was standing beside him.
At Lu Ming's strong suggestion, Datou changed his surname Lu back to his original name Zeng Dashou.
After all, he is now a member of the Military Council of the Principality of Montenegro, Deputy Minister of Defense, Chief of the General Staff, and one of the most important figures in the military.
It is no longer appropriate to declare one's absolute control over him by changing his name as was done in the dynasty era.
Big Head nodded: "Yes, it's settled!"
Those following Lu Ming are the most important generals of the principality.
There are Zhao Jingxun, chief member of the Military Committee of the Prince's Privy Council and Minister of National Defense, Nian Wenwu (Lao Catfish), member of the Military Committee and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Shi Dayong, member of the Military Committee and Minister of the Air Force, Lu Gaoyi, member of the Military Committee and Minister of Military Intelligence, Yu Luan, member of the Military Committee and Director of the Department of Homeland Security, and so on.
"Let's take a look at the situation first." Lu Ming looked at the military map. "Lu Gaoyi is right. Even if the Sonyans capture the imperial capital, it will not be easy to conquer the Kingdom of Greifani. We don't need to be at the forefront right away. The most panicked ones right now are the neutral states, including the members of the Eastern Economic Alliance."
"However, we still need to provide necessary assistance, such as supplies, equipment, weapons and ammunition, etc., and the prices will be based on market prices. In addition, I plan to send elite ground forces to form a capable anti-tank special combat team, which will be composed of forces from the Air Service Regiment, the Black Sparrow Unit and the Imperial Guards, to confront the Sonyans and test their strength." These three armed forces are directly under the command and management of the Prince's Privy Council.
"Also, we will start a nationwide emergency mobilization and gather our armed forces in Hanzhou." Lu Ming thought for a while, "In the Western Regions, in addition to the West Black Mountain Fort Oil Corps, we recently secretly transported two reorganized divisions there. If necessary, we can catch the Sonyans off guard in the Western Regions."
The two reorganized divisions did not carry weapons and equipment, and plainclothes officers transported supplies and equipment there one after another by train, taking the Yinping Ancient Road.
The generals listened to Lu Ming's series of orders with solemn yet somewhat excited expressions.
Although the enemy they are about to face is so powerful, these generals are basically experienced fighters who have fought in battles of all sizes, and they are all secretly looking forward to the upcoming fierce battle.
…
When the anti-tank task force led by Lu Ming personally arrived at Neuselt in the eastern state of Griffinni, the imperial capital had already fallen, but the Sonya offensive had also eased.
It did not rush forward to occupy the entire territory of Griffinni in a flash, but instead stopped the offensive to rest, replenish supplies, and prepare for the next round of battle.
After all, the imperial capital is actually very close to the core state of Sonia, and there is no strategic location to defend.
However, the vast strategic depth of the Kingdom of Greifanni in the east, south and southwest is not something that can be achieved by blitzkrieg.
This task force selected by Lu Ming himself is almost entirely composed of super soldiers trained by Bizhu. Although there are only eight or nine hundred people, the strength of a reinforced battalion, they carry a variety of individual weapons and equipment that only they can use in actual combat, which makes them a very terrifying force.
After nearly ten years, Bizhu has trained these precious children.
Lu Ming used his original form, but he always wore goggles. He looked like a tall, handsome and very cool man.
Originally, I wanted to use Li to represent the form, but then I felt it didn’t matter. Now that I have different bodies, I prefer to use my original form.
He used the pseudonym Lu Chen.
Lu Ming, Lu Jun and Lu Cheng, judging from their names, they also look like brothers.
In fact, this body has always been Section Chief Wang in Anxi.
But there is no way. There are four carriers, and one is in Japan. Although things there are becoming more stable, the Regent cannot get away.
One is Bit, in the Western Regions.
The other is the Prince of Black Mountain Fort, who is in charge of Black Mountain. Now he can no longer relax in Shengjing.
Therefore, Captain Lu, who came to the Kingdom of Greyfinni, could only use Anxi's carrier.
However, William V, who was already in "Eastston" a thousand kilometers away from the imperial capital in the east, did not attach much importance to the thousand-plus volunteers from the Principality of Montenegro, and did not meet with Captain Lu.
"Eastston" is now the temporary capital and secondary capital of the Kingdom of Sonia.
This armed force of a thousand men was stationed in Neuselt, which was very far away from the front line near the southwestern imperial capital, about three or four hundred kilometers away. Obviously, the Griffinni people did not take it seriously, but they did not want this so-called volunteer advance team to be cannon fodder, so they ordered it to work with the militia and perform the militia's tasks.
A small city called Songshan, which literally means Songshan, is the base of the advance team.
What satisfied Songshan Mayor Lambiel was that this advance team basically did not disturb him and the citizens, and they did not even need to provide food. A few days after the advance team arrived, planes flew over to drop supplies. It was said that these planes came from Osland, the southwesternmost state of the Eastern Alliance.
However, when Lanbill met with Captain Lu, Captain Lu made a request that made him embarrassed. The advance team wanted to purchase more than a dozen military trucks, and it would be fine if they could be coordinated and borrowed.
Lambiel contacted many parties and finally fulfilled his mission by allocating more than a dozen trucks for them. After all, they were charged and the price was not low, so he was able to find sellers.
Lu Ming bought these military trucks for mobility. Nowadays, Griffinni's air force is on par with that of the Sonyans, and the bombers of both sides are basically carrying out orders to bomb each other's cities or positions.
Moreover, once they get close to areas where enemy bombers frequently appear, these vehicles will no longer be used as a means of transport for soldiers, so as to avoid becoming sitting ducks.
