Chapter 1297: Self-preservation comes first

Views:

The war situation in Europe affects the whole body.

Facing the three-way attack from Bactria, Egypt, and the Indian Empire, the Spanish dynasty is in a hurry!

April 25, Tortosa.

King Iker Casillas of Spain urgently summoned the three generals to hold a video conference.

The three generals are the Duke of Alva, the "Blood Butcher" Fernando, who is known as the God of the Spanish Army and is also the commander of the Spanish army. Recently, he is personally leading an army of 250,000 to fight against the Germanic dynasty.

Don Juan, half-brother of Philip II, admiral of the Spanish Armada.

The Duke of Parma, Alexander Farnese, the military commander of the Argentine region of the Spanish Dynasty, also led an army of 250,000 to fight against the Indian Empire.

The Spanish dynasty included the original Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Algeria, and Argentina, plus the newly occupied Western Sahara and Mauritania.

The total number of players in the whole territory is about 15 million, and the population size ranks second among the six major European dynasties, second only to the Germanic dynasties.

In addition to the Armada, the Spanish dynasty has a regular army of 750,000, divided into three major armies.

Except for Fernando and Alexander, the remaining 250,000 troops are under the personal control of King Casillas to guard the mainland and African territories.

Among them, there are 150,000 local troops, and the remaining 100,000 troops are scattered in four regions: Morocco, Algeria, Western Sahara, and Mauritania.

In the face of the three-way enemy invasion, Spain does not have an advantage in any way, and has to face several times the enemy. The only advantage is probably the defense at home, which takes advantage of the convenient location.

"Talk about it, what should we do?" Casillas asked.

"Blood Butcher" Fernando was the first to speak, "Three routes of enemy troops, the Great Xia Army is the route with the fewest number, but it is the strongest route, and it is facing the route with our weakest defense."

"I suggest that the 100,000 troops stationed in Africa be concentrated and deployed to the Algeria region to slow down the offensive pace of the Great Xia Army and buy time for other battlefields."

"When necessary, soldiers can be recruited locally in Africa."

"Can you just give up the African territory?" Casillas was a little apprehensive towards Daxia. "There are only 150,000 troops in the mainland, and they will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the 500,000 Egyptian troops."

Fernando shook his head, "Your Majesty, the African territory is the strongest barrier to the south of the Kingdom. If you voluntarily abandon Africa, it will be tantamount to exposing the mainland to the enemy's eyes, and it will only make the situation worse."

"Another point is that the 500,000 Egyptian army attacked our homeland from Key Point City, and logistical supplies are difficult. If we abandon the African territory, it will be equivalent to creating a supply rear for the Egyptian army."

"Therefore, African territories not only cannot be given up easily, but must be held firmly."

After a pause, Fernando continued, "Instead of giving up the African territory, it's better to give up the Argentine region. Anyway, it's an enclave with little value."

A long time ago, Fernando was dissatisfied with the kingdom's wasting precious troops on the South American continent, and now he finally seized the opportunity to request His Majesty to withdraw from South America.

"no!"

What surprised Fernando was that it was not only Alexander who made the proposal, but even His Majesty, who was still worried about the mainland just now, resolutely rejected it.

Alexander's objection was within Fernando's expectation. He was also the governor of Argentina and the military commander. In Argentina, he was equivalent to half an uncrowned king. Naturally, he did not want the kingdom to withdraw its troops from Argentina.

His Majesty's objection made Fernando very puzzled.

It can only be said that Fernando does not know the king Casillas.

The rise of Iker Casillas is quite legendary. It is entirely due to the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, which jointly suppressed Daxia and forced Daxia to abandon the Moroccan province.

The Spanish dynasty won the moon first, and picked up Morocco and Algeria in vain.

In these two places, the Spanish dynasty, which has always been inconspicuous, has risen all the way with the help of God. Not only has it flourished in the African continent, but it has also won the Argentine region in one fell swoop.

The territory of the dynasty, set foot in Europe, Africa and America, has a faint shadow of a global empire.

This is Casilla's greatest pride and the brightest moment in his life. His status in Europe has surpassed the three lords Henry, William and Caesar who had been infinitely glorious before, and is on an equal footing with King Manstein of the Germanic Dynasty.

Inside the Silver Hand, the status of the Casillas family has also risen.

It is even said that, taking advantage of the opportunity of joining forces with the Dawson Dynasty in South America to check and balance the Indian Empire, the Casilla family successfully joined the Dawson family, faintly intending to enter the core layer of the Silver Hand.

In such a situation, how could Casillas easily give up the Argentine region.

Once abandoned, and counting the African territories that may not be able to be kept, the "powerful" Spanish dynasty will be beaten back to its original shape and reduced to the bottom of Europe again.

This is something Casillas can't stand anyway.

"So, what does His Majesty mean?" Fernando asked, already having a bad premonition in his heart.

Hearing this, Casilla raised his head slowly, his eyes firm, "Withdraw from Germany."

"..."

What responded to him was deathly silence.

After a long time, Fernando still spoke, "Your Majesty, have you thought about the consequences of withdrawing troops?"

The encirclement and suppression of Germania by the five dynasties is the largest military operation in the history of the Silver Hand, and it is only allowed to succeed, not to fail.

If the Spanish dynasty withdraws its troops at this juncture, how will it explain to the organization

Without the protection of the Silver Hand, even if the Spanish Dynasty can escape this catastrophe, in the future in the game world, can it continue to withstand the impact of a giant like Daxia

Therefore, in Fernando's view, this is a very short-sighted decision.

Even Alexander, who advocated not withdrawing troops from Argentina, did not agree with His Majesty's decision.

"What else can we do if we don't withdraw our troops?" Casillas was a little annoyed. "We can't even protect ourselves. Do we still have to work for the organization?"

This is really unreasonable.

Fernando and others actually understand the internal logic of Casillas.

This time the Silver Hand besieged the Germanic dynasty, it was considered a victory, because there is still a Gallic dynasty between Germanic and Spanish, and Spain has already taken advantage of Morocco and Algeria. What about the Spanish dynasty.

In other words, the Spanish dynasty's expedition this time was only to fulfill its obligations, and there was no benefit.

Therefore, Casillas chose to withdraw his troops from the Germanic battlefield in order to consolidate the local defense and deal with the invading Egyptian army.

"Besides, withdrawing the army and fighting against the Egyptian army is also sharing the worries of the organization. If the Egyptian army is allowed to drive straight in, the Germanic battlefield will be different." Casillas argued.

There is some truth to this statement.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the blue badge reluctantly ceded the Egyptian dynasty to Bactria. Apart from counting on Bactria to intervene in the European battlefield, it also has the intention of liberating the Egyptian army.

The intention of using the Egyptian army to support the Germanic dynasty is very obvious.

It can be said that the moment the Egyptian army landed in Spain, the mainland of Spain became part of the European battlefield.

Fernando said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to discuss with the allies about the withdrawal of troops."

Casillas nodded upon hearing this.
