Alien Arms Empire - Chapter 1655

Chapter 1655 1656 Return to Ironforge

When Binghan I returned to Ironforge, he seemed to have aged ten years. However, the dwarf’s thick beard prevented his haggard appearance from being exposed to everyone.

From the window of the train carriage, he saw the industrial area he had worked so hard to manage turn into what it is today. There are collapsed buildings and ruins everywhere.

 In fact, this has been a day of cleaning up for his return. A few days ago, there were even fires that could not be extinguished, and black smoke that covered the sky.

The Tang Army’s bombing caused far greater damage to the city than imagined. The shutdown of the factory caused a shortage of other resources. For example, power supply, water supply.

 In the past, when the factory was operating, it would consume water and power supply in some surrounding areas. This chaotic phenomenon was caused by the backward urban construction.

Now these factories have been blown up, the power plants that generate electricity for these factories have also been damaged, and the power supply lines have been cut off. Power outages are unavoidable in many surrounding places.

The same goes for water. Many places had sufficient tap water supplies before thanks to factories. Now there are problems with these pipes and water plants, and the water supply around them has begun to become difficult.

I have to admit that Ironforge is an ancient city. It used to be the capital of the Dwarf Empire and existed for thousands of years. Of course, it is impossible for such a city to completely transform into a modern city.

In the past, dwarves were proud of the long history here, but now many people are complaining about the backwardness and rigidity of this city: it is very difficult to build a sewer here, and many ancient buildings are connected to various foundation chambers, and no one wants to What kind of construction is going on in a place like this?

 As time goes by, this city will inevitably move toward modernization, but it faces many problems. These problems have become more acute with the bombing of the Tang Empire.

The lack of many decent air defense bunkers became a serious flaw. When hundreds of dwarf civilians were bombed in the industrial area, they could only wait in their homes and bet with their lives whether the Tang army’s bombs would be real. onto their heads.

All of this is beginning to shake the dominance of Ice Cold I in Ironforge: He has sent thousands of children to the battlefield, and now even the sacred place of Ironforge is involved in the war. This is definitely not the case. Something worth bragging about.

It is precisely because of this that Binghan Yi ignored the difficulties on the front line and quickly returned to his home base to stabilize the situation here.

In order to resist the Tang army, the dwarves mobilized more than 1 million troops, but the weapons and equipment of these troops have not been collected yet, which also gave Binghan I a headache.

 The collapsing production capacity has begun to drag down the Ice Empire’s war mobilization potential, and logistical supply problems have also reduced the amount of materials that were originally not large to the front line.

 This directly led to a serious consequence: all troops sent to the front line became disposable consumables. They were unable to receive follow-up personnel, ammunition, medicine and other supplies, and it was difficult to even obtain food supplies.

Although there seem to be a lot of troops on the front line, most of the combat power is being depleted. The losses are getting bigger and bigger, and the combat effectiveness is getting weaker and weaker, which means that the rear has to recruit more recruits to fill the shortfall. In turn, more and more recruits and troublesome supplies have caused higher losses. After the loss of heavy weapons and equipment, it cannot be replenished in a short time… Under a vicious circle, the frontline troops directly lose their offensive capabilities.

The problem is that as more losses began to occur, these troops began to lack the ability to mobilize. You cannot fight in the field, you can only defend the defense line and be beaten passively.

A series of problems have made the coalition forces extremely passive on the battlefield, although they still have strong data on paper.

“Your Majesty!” In the train station, several officials who greeted Binghan I finally felt relieved when they saw Binghan I. The emperor has been running around outside these days, and they are really afraid that something will happen to the backbone of the empire.

You must know that the Tang Empire’s decapitation ability is very strong, not only the ability to use troops to directly capture the enemy’s commander, but also the ability to launch missiles to directly strike.

As long as the Tang Army finds a flaw, it will definitely give the opponent’s commander a surprise: in recent months, the dwarves have had several division commanders pay the price with their lives for their recklessness.

  Fortunately, all this has passed, and their great emperor has finally returned to Ironforge.

Seeing several ministers with embarrassment on their faces, Binghan I could only sigh and said with force: “Everything will be fine. The difficulties at hand are only temporary. The elves and other allies are still attacking to recapture the Holy Land.” After Luo, we can quickly regain the initiative on the battlefield. “

 Of course he knew that the elves’ battle near Shengluo was not going well, but that was all he could say at the moment. Because everyone present knew that in the face of the increasing pressure from the Tang Army, several dwarf troops were unable to stop retreating.

The 8th Group Army, which has been crippled, now has almost no combat effectiveness. The 7th, 9th and 10th Group Armies are facing the attacks of the two Tang Army groups. It is a miracle that they can persist until now.

Subsequently, the dwarves have moved the newly formed army groups to the front line. Most of these troops only have light weapons and a pitiful number of artillery.

The two armies numbered 14th and 15th barely helped the northern defense line stabilize its position, but the losses were unbearable: the loss rate of two to three thousand people per day showed that this state could not continue forever. .

“Your Majesty has worked hard all the way, so we won’t discuss state affairs today.” The prime minister made peace with him, and then accompanied Bing Hanyi to the car.

 The scene in the urban area is still much better than in the suburbs. After all, few bombs fall here. Looking at those nostalgic ancient buildings, Binghan I’s mood somewhat recovered.

“Your Majesty, according to your order, the newly formed 13th Army will stay near Ironforge as the main force… However, due to production reasons, the tanks and other equipment originally planned to be allocated to this army cannot be made up.” In the car, the Prime Minister He talked about the formation of a new army worriedly.

Binghan I sighed and said: “More reinforcements will arrive soon, and our situation will always get better. Although it is difficult now, once the factory machinery is transported to the south and production is reorganized, the problem will be solved It can be solved.”
