Chapter 2169: Country!
The Frost Dragon Kingdom also began a nationwide mobilization to recruit new soldiers.
It is based on the principle of voluntariness.
In the past, recruiting new soldiers at this time would have been very difficult.
They basically conscripted men.
But now, the Frost Dragon Kingdom is choosing to recruit voluntarily.
But unexpectedly...
The recruitment sites were packed with people.
"I used to be a soldier!"
"I used to fire cannons; I've tried many different kinds of cannons!"
"I...I'm strong, I'm not afraid of dying."
I can do anything.
There were queues at almost every recruitment site.
An elderly man in his sixties, dressed in a worn-out military uniform of unknown country and era, walked into the recruitment area.
"Old man."
"You're so old, you shouldn't go," a young person joked.
The old man snorted coldly, then lifted his shirt to reveal the wound on his chest.
"I joined the army when I was twenty."
They fought no fewer than twenty battles, large and small, and killed at least fifty, if not a hundred.
I didn't want to join the army before.
But now.
My grandchildren said so.
They love this kind of life, and they love this country.
So that they can have a stable life and a place to study.
"This old man's got the body to fight; I'll go to the battlefield one more time!"
This kind of situation is happening at other recruitment sites.
Many women even volunteered to join the army.
Some teenagers want to go to war.
However, underage children are strictly restricted by the recruitment office.
"Why won't you let us go to the battlefield?"
I'll be eighteen in three months!
"I can go into battle and kill the enemy!" a boy shouted defiantly.
The man in military uniform stared at the boy in front of him: "Don't mention the three-month difference."
Not even one day off is acceptable.
The rules of the Frost Dragon Kingdom are ironclad.
Unless all of us are dead.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be your turn, you little brats.
Get back to your studies and get back to them!
Frost Dragon Kingdom Military
"incredible.
This occurred less than a year after the previous new policy was implemented.
The people are incredibly supportive of this country.
In just one day, 100,000 people from all over the country volunteered to enlist! The Minister of the Army looked at this number in disbelief.
In the past, this involved conscripting men.
How could it be possible to recruit 100,000 people in just one day?
"This is what we call the will of the people."
You all thought the policies I implemented before were useless.
In their eyes, they were nothing more than a group of foolish troublemakers.
but.
After I went to the Kingdom of the Wraith Dragon, I understood a principle.
They are not some useless troublemakers.
They are part of this country.
Let them [N O V E L I G H T] read and write, and let them understand hope and life.
Then they will stand up and fight for this country.
"That's what you call public opinion!" King Phoenix said with a smile.
"Now we've made a good start."
But you must be careful.
The training of these new recruits is also categorized.
Everything must be done strictly according to the requirements.
Those with combat experience will be given priority for assignment to front-line units.
Those without combat experience were assigned to second-line units.
Those who still fail to meet combat standards after multiple training sessions are assigned to logistics and transportation units!
Our battlefield needs cannon fodder.
Every soldier is our invaluable asset!
Also, register each person's identity information.
If they were killed in action.
Their compensation must be paid in full. From the moment they enlisted, they were members of our army!
She was treated exactly the same as everyone else!
"yes!"
The Minister of the Army responded and then said, "At the current rate of recruitment..."
The issue of manpower is not a major problem.
However, there may be significant shortages in weaponry and equipment.
There's no need to worry about that.
"Our weapons and equipment are already on their way," Phoenix said with a smile.
now.
Several cargo ships and cargo planes.
It was fully loaded with various weapons and equipment, flying from the Kingdom of Dragonflight to the Kingdom of Northern Frost.
These are some weapons and equipment that the Dragon Kingdom has phased out or recently increased in production.
It is sufficient to meet the needs of the 500,000-strong army of the Northern Frost Kingdom.
If needed.
All the military factories in the Dragon Kingdom can operate at full capacity.
Dragon Kingdom Continent
"I never expected that the new faction and the old forces in the Northern Continent would actually cooperate."
The two sides together have nearly five million troops.
This will be an unprecedented war on the Northern Continent.
"To be honest, the pressure on the Frost Dragon Kingdom is quite significant." Zhao Chen looked at Marshal Chu Xuan, who had returned from the Western Continent.
Marshal Chu Xuan nodded and said, "This is indeed not a good situation."
But it was also within our expectations.
With the weapons and equipment we've provided to the Frost Dragon Kingdom, land warfare shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The only apparent drawback is the lack of manpower.
If the enemy attacks in a dispersed manner, it will put a lot of pressure on the Frost Dragon Kingdom's defenses.
"The issue of troop strength is indeed a significant problem."
Our Dragon Kingdom doesn't have many troops, so we can't solve any major problems.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment and then asked, "How is the war going in the Western Continent recently?"
"On the western continent, the Kingdom of Gebuchi is still secretly amassing troops."
It is anticipated that a large-scale offensive is being planned.
"We need at least another month to prepare." Marshal Chu Xuan understood Zhao Chen's meaning.
She offered, "Actually, we could definitely take advantage of the time difference."
A portion of the troops from the Aalborg Federation and the Baljik Kingdom were diverted to the battlefield on the northern continent.
Zhao Chen pondered, looking at the map of the Northwest Continent before him.
"I've also considered that."
However, there is a problem.
If the reinforcements from the Western Continent get bogged down on the Northern Continent.
Meanwhile, if the Kingdom of Gebuchi in the Northern Continent seizes the opportunity to launch an attack, the Western Continent will face immense pressure.
Marshal Chu Xuan said, "Actually, we don't need to put these reinforcements on the main battlefield at all."
If it is deployed to the front lines of the battlefield.
to be honest.
The combined forces and military strength of the old and new factions are currently at their peak.
It's unlikely that a winner will be decided in a short period of time.
Since we are going to send reinforcements.
This reinforcement must play the role of a surprise attack.
We are currently in the northern continent.
The Ice Star Empire has completely abandoned its control of the seas, and all its warships are holed up in the port and refuse to come out.
Even in cities near the coast, those who could be evacuated were evacuated.
Those who could not evacuate dug a large number of air-raid shelters.
I believe we can take advantage of this opportunity.
A surprise force was dispatched from the northern part of the Northern Continent to land and directly attack several cities behind the Ice Star Empire.
Marshal Chu Xuan pointed to several cities behind the Ice Star Empire.
"These cities are all important industrial, agricultural, and populous cities on Ice Star."
If we could destroy these cities all at once.
That would certainly deal a heavy blow to the Ice Star Empire!
The Ice Star Empire will inevitably need to recall a batch of troops from the front lines.
Otherwise, we could press our advantage and directly threaten the capital of their Ice Star Empire!
Currently, the Ice Star Empire has a large number of troops on the front lines, with only a small number of military police maintaining stability in the rear.
We only need to send a portion of our elite troops to accomplish this strategic mission.
Upon hearing Marshal Chu Xuan's description of this strategic blueprint...
Zhao Chen's eyes lit up immediately.
This is how it is arranged.
This would allow the reinforcements from the Western Continent to play their maximum role, while also making use of Medusa's navy.
Since the previous naval battle caused the Ice Star Empire to lose its will to fight at sea.
Marshal Medusa said that their warships were practically sitting idle at sea.
"In order to accomplish this combat mission."
I authorize the deployment of a portion of our JF-17 Thunder forces.
Although our main force is the navy and air force.
However, the army also needs to hone its skills in actual combat.
Without the tempering of war.
Even with the most advanced weaponry, they could never become the strongest army on this planet!
"yes!"
After Marshal Chu Xuan and Emperor Xiaolong reached an agreement.
This operational plan was immediately put into action.
Chu Xuanyuan also telegraphed to inform the Aalborg Federation and the Baljik Kingdom of their cooperation in this operation.
Both were completely obedient to the arrangements.
The Aalborg Federation and the Baljik Kingdom will each draw 100,000 elite troops.
The Dragon Kingdom will also deploy 50,000 elite army troops and 50,000 marines to this battle.
A total of 300,000 troops.
They will land behind the Ice Star Empire and then advance directly to several important cities in the rear of the Ice Star Empire.
At this critical juncture in the tense atmosphere of the Western Continent.
Neither the Aorburg Federation nor the Baljik Kingdom hesitated when Emperor Xiaolong ordered the evacuation of their elite troops.
Both sides even selected their most elite troops and appointed their trusted confidants as commanders.
Governor Pedro looked at the general before him and said solemnly, "Remember one thing."
You must all obey the orders of the JF-17.
There can be no negligence or compromise.
Even if it means sending them to be cannon fodder, you must do it without hesitation.
If I find out that there is anything about you that displeases the JF-17 team.
"Then you'll be back to face a military court!" Governor Pedro looked at the officer he trusted.
"Please rest assured, sir."
I guarantee that I will complete this task.
We will not let you, and we will not let the JF-17 team down!
Governor Pedro watched as his 100,000-strong army boarded the dozens of troop transport ships arranged by the Dragon Kingdom.
These soldiers from the Baljik Kingdom will spend several days at sea.
Ultimately, they will land in the northern part of the Ice Star Empire.
Accompanying them were the JF-17 Navy, the JF-17 Army, and the Army of the Aalborg Federation.
On Marshal Medusa's flagship.
Marshal Medusa looked at the officers in front of her.
Most of them are related to the JF-17 Thunder.
Several others are from the Aalborg Federation and the Baljik Kingdom.
"This is our pre-battle meeting."
For this operation, we have planned three landing points.
Because our troops have no experience in cooperative combat.
So we just went our separate ways.
Before you land, our navy will help you clear some of the fortifications on the shore.
However, it cannot be guaranteed that it will be completely cleaned.
You will then be transported ashore by troop transport ships.
All you need to do is establish a beachhead and then capture the enemy's fortresses and strongholds in the shortest possible time.
Complete this amphibious landing operation!
These are the three landing sites.
Our JF-17 team is responsible for point A.
The Aalborg Federation is responsible for point B, and the Baljik Kingdom is responsible for point C.
"Is there a problem?" Marshal Medusa asked.
Of the three landing points, point A is the most dangerous, even more so than the other two.
But the JF-17 Thunder was kept for himself.
Instead of throwing the hardest part at them.
"no problem."
"We will definitely complete our mission and will not let Your Excellency down!"
Both the Federation of Aalborg and the Kingdom of Baljik solemnly assured them.
"The attack will take place in 35 hours."
That is, midnight the day after tomorrow. Marshal Medusa glanced at the time and announced the attack time.
that's all.
A sharp sword from the sea is about to strike the Ice Star Empire from behind.
The Ice Star Empire had not anticipated this at all.
They are launching a major offensive on the main battlefield.
As agreed, the new faction also gradually intensified its attacks.
The number of troops on the front lines has exceeded three million.
And it is still increasing.
On the Frost Dragon Kingdom's side, if it weren't for the helicopters of the Frost Dragon First Army Aviation Brigade under Firelydia's command assisting the front-line battlefield...
The front lines had long since collapsed.
With the help of those fire-breathing attack helicopters, the enemy's tanks were suppressed, and the armored forces dared not easily show themselves on the front line.
At the same time, machine guns can also be used to launch fire attacks on the ground when necessary.
Unfortunately, the Frost Dragon Kingdom currently has a limited number of fire dragon armed helicopters.
The number of sorties deployed each day has reached its limit, but it still cannot fully meet the demands of the front-line battlefield.
The phone lines at the Fireland command center were practically ringing off the hook.
They were all requesting air support.
"Fight, fight, fight."
I've said it so many times.
I'm not a wishing star, and you're not begging me.
I can conjure up a helicopter for you.
I only have ten of them on hand right now.
I can't tell them apart!
"Depend on!"
Huo Lidia called back after the phone call had just ended.
She felt like a cat with its fur standing on end.
She used to think armed helicopters were awesome.
But now I'm getting phone calls from the front lines one after another, and I'm really feeling dizzy and overwhelmed.
Some people even went to great lengths to ask him for favors.
Arrange an attack.
Dealing with these people was more tiring for Firedia than fighting a war.
"When will I be able to command hundreds of armed helicopters at will?"
Now, in Fireland, everything you see, whether you open your eyes or not, is armed helicopters.
She also called the JF-17 Thunder team several times to inquire when the next batch of attack helicopters would arrive.
Ten are really not enough!
However, it was also thanks to the support of these Vulcan attack helicopters that the pressure on the front lines of the Frost Dragon Kingdom was greatly relieved!
