Xiao Ran frowned and pondered, and asked, "Are these actions you mentioned a joint action by the EU and Resistance Organization, or a unilateral and independent action by the two parties? Can you confirm this?"
Cornelia, who was lying on Xiao Ran's chest, raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ran, shaking his head. "There is no way to confirm, and we have no way to tell which side the attackers belong to."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and patted Cornelia's naked back. "Get up, pack up and go Command Center."
"Yes." Cornelia sat up unabashedly, walked into the bathroom naked and started to clean up, until the two of them came out of the bathroom one after another, and after finishing cleaning, they went to Command Center in the base together.
Now, perhaps due to the successive attacks, Command Center is even busier than when Xiao Ran came before, and all kinds of voices keep ringing in Xiao Ran's ears.
Without Cornelia's guidance, Xiao Ran walked to the bottom of the electronic sand table by himself. He didn't care about the commotion around him and quietly looked at the various information displayed on the electronic sand table. Cornelia also He just stood slightly behind Xiao Ran on the right, with a calm and serious face. It was impossible to tell that not long after he and Xiao Ran got off the bed, he returned to the brave look he showed in front of outsiders.
Cornelia appeared in Command Center. Of course, the person in charge here needs to follow behind Cornelia to assist. Seeing Xiao Ran appear here, the person in charge suddenly felt courage in his heart. The last time Xiao Ran appeared here After entering, it didn't take long to eliminate an important supply base of the Rebel Army organization, and it appeared here again today, which also made the person in charge, who was probably thirty-six or seventeen years old, begin to look forward to Xiao Ran's next move, and also remained quiet and watched Xiao Ran's back from behind.
After watching for a while, Xiao Ran turned around and looked at the persons in charge of Cornelia and Command Center. The expressions on the faces under the masks could not be discerned, but the words he spoke were quite calm and calm, "From the irresistible attack that appeared at the beginning, did Intelligence Analysis find any common ground and rules from it, and did they find any information worthy of attention."
Cornelia did not answer Xiao Ran's question. Even though she knew everything on the current electronic sandbox, when faced with Xiao Ran's question, Cornelia still looked at the person in charge beside her, who was also one of her most trustworthy subordinates and was responsible for coordinating the auxiliary command of Area 19's military affairs.
The assistant commander first glanced at Cornelia, and after seeing Cornelia nod, he walked to the electronic sand table, picked up a red dot indicator light and pointed it at the sand table and began to explain the currently analyzed intelligence to Xiao Ran.
"The counter-offensive launched by EU and Resistance Organization has been going on for some time, but the counter-offensive attack that we cannot resist has only started in recent days. The previous counter-offensive seems to be just completing a routine task. Although it will cause us some trouble, the offensive is not fierce, and it has not really broken through any of our defense strongholds."
"But starting from two days ago, the situation began to change. The EU and Rebel Army organized both sides of the front line bordering us. They each sent more troops to display in front of the formation and launched a fierce attack on us. It was as if they suddenly became serious. Our generals were able to repel them first with the help of the other two Knights of the Round and Crimson Knights. There were several waves of offensives, but then several elite forces with powerful combat capabilities appeared on both sides. They used new types of aircraft to attack several of our strongholds. After completely destroying the strongholds, they chose to evacuate and did not continue to tear us apart. After these strongholds were destroyed, the EU and Rebel Army did not go deep but maintained a strict defensive posture."
"As for the common point, that is that the enemies who actually captured and destroyed our strongholds were all led by new aircraft, and then chose to evacuate after breaking the stronghold. Judging from the results analyzed from the intelligence, we have lost a total of more than thirty-six defensive strongholds, EU and Rebel Army The has invested more than 100 new machines. With a certain number of KFs, in this situation where we have to bear the pressure of the entire front at the same time and the force is dispersed, the situation when attacking our stronghold can almost be described as one-sided."
"In terms of patterns, we have not analyzed any useful results. The enemy's offensives are very sudden, there is no specific interval, and there is no linear target selection. All attacks are completely random to us at present, and they are very confidential. It is not clear when they will attack which target."
"Up to now, the enemy is clearly fully capable of continuing to penetrate deeper after breaking through our strongholds, but they chose to retreat after taking our strongholds and return the destroyed strongholds to our hands. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a very targeted conspiracy. For us, even though those destroyed strongholds still have strategic significance, we have It is impossible to really send more Military Strength into those strongholds to rebuild the defense. It is very likely that we will suffer another blow while rebuilding, so we can only choose to retreat and give up a large area. Now these strongholds can only be abandoned, and strangely they have become a special buffer zone between the enemy and ourselves."
Xiao Ran nodded and asked, "What do you think of it personally?"
The assistant commander hesitated for a moment, glanced at Cornelia and then at Xiao Ran who couldn't understand it at all, and said in a deep voice, "This is a report jointly carried out by the EU and Rebel Army There is no doubt that the resumption is a planned conspiracy. The purpose is to target your previous actions, Mr. Knight Lelouch. It was to show us their power, and it was also aimed at you, Mr. Knight Lelouch."
"While we do not have higher-level combat capabilities for the time being, all frontline defense strongholds will become targets and targets for the opponent. However, as long as you go to the frontline Lord Lelouch, you will not be able to take care of all the strongholds and the entire defense line. It will even completely expose this base to the enemy's eyes. It can be said to be a conspiracy, and those strongholds and the entire frontline are bait."
"Either Lord Lelouch you continue to stay at this base, then the other party will launch unscrupulous attacks again and again, or if you go to the front line, my lord, then the other party is very likely to launch a surprise attack on this base."
"Fishing." Xiao Ran turned back to the electronic sand table and said, "Your analysis is correct. The opponent is indeed fishing and showing off his muscles, but at the same time he is also preparing for a big move. In my opinion, the enemy is now Everything we do is the same as what you analyzed, but if we get used to the other party's methods, then the other party will create greater trouble for us, and what the enemy wants is for us to get used to the dilemma, and then suddenly launch a larger offensive."
"Okay, I already know the general situation. One last question, have you ever calculated the average time it takes for our defensive strongholds to end after being attacked?"
"I know something about this." Cornelia walked to Xiao Ran and said in a calm voice, "In ten to fifteen minutes, regardless of whether they will capture the target they selected, but at this time The evacuation in Duanli will definitely not waste a minute, and what will be left behind for us must be a useless place that has been destroyed or destroyed, and can no longer bear the task of a complete defense line, and they will destroy all our defense methods as soon as possible."
Xiao Ran chuckled, "Within fifteen minutes? In other words, this also prevents me from setting off from this base and giving reinforcements."
Cornelia said without looking back, "That's true, but just because of this, we are more convinced that this is a conspiracy against you and us."
Xiao Ran said, "The most important thing is that the corresponding top-level combat power is not as good as the opponent, and the general ordinary combat power cannot reach the level of qualitative change in quantity, but even if there are more numbers, it is meaningless in front of those machines."
"Ask for help." Xiao Ran waved his hand, put his hand on the edge of the electronic sand table and said, "In the current situation, we can only choose to ask for help. Now even Knights of the Round is injured and defeated. You can imagine the quality of the combat power invested by the opponent. It has far surpassed us. Even if Area 19 is unwilling, he can only apply to His Majesty Charles for more Crimson Knights members to join. Only in this way can we achieve a balance with the opponent in terms of high-level combat power."
"Now only Area 19 has this situation, but similar situations may occur in other places in the future. If this is the case, just a few people from Knights of the Round, no matter how many troops they lead, will not be able to resist those organizations with new models. The current situation may not be able to be changed until our new models start mass production and are configured."
"If you ask me, just evacuate Area 19, temporarily abandon this area, take away everything that can be taken away, and destroy everything that cannot be taken away, leaving a mess for the EU and Rebel Army. No matter whether the two sides will conflict because of our withdrawal, or simply merge into one, we can still regain this territory after our high-level combat power is replenished."
Cornelia glanced at Xiao Ran with indifferent eyes. "Quiting is not absolutely impossible. Once Area 19 is given up, the stability of the entire empire will be affected, and other NUMBER will think that the empire is beginning to decline, and then there will be unrest in various places."
Xiao Ran said lightly, "Sometimes the fist is retracted in order to squeeze it tightly and then punch it out. If the hand is not retracted in this situation, it will be cut off sooner or later. At that time, the losses will be greater, and it will be easier for other districts to start rebellion and turmoil according to the current situation."
"How many districts are there in the empire now? How important are they to the empire? Why stick to these useless areas that will inevitably turn into a quagmire and hinder the development of the empire? What's more, even if some areas are divided, it will only be temporary. I am afraid that when the new machine configuration is completed, no more than three areas will be thrown away from the empire. This is buying time."
Cornelia's expression changed complicatedly twice, and he spoke resolutely again, "I would not consider doing this."
Xiao Ran smiled and said nonchalantly, "Then just hold on, and those who apply for more Crimson Knights will come over to Area 19. Although it will not be able to change the current situation for safety and completely suppress the two enemies, at least for a certain period of time. But I can maintain the current situation internally and make the other party not dare to act so recklessly. There is really not much I can do to deal with the current situation, and as long as I leave, this base will most likely be attacked by the enemy, which will completely tie me to death in this base."
"The current enemy must have delineated a fifteen-minute danger zone with this base as the center. What we are left with is a choice between two. But no matter how we choose the enemy, we can have corresponding countermeasures. From the moment the opponent sets up this plan and starts taking action, Area 19 has completely fallen into the opponent's plan."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he ignored Cornelia and said to the auxiliary commander, "Send all available forces in this base to conduct a thorough inspection within a circle with a diameter of 300 kilometers with this base as the center. I estimate that the other party may have troops approaching at this time. Let trustworthy people spread detectors for me all over the place."
"The detectors I'm talking about are the ones that can give direct feedback under normal conditions and can also give disconnection feedback under abnormal circumstances. They are arranged in an array. As long as the opponent enters our detection range, various interference or anti-detection equipment will definitely be turned on. When the connection of the detection equipment is interrupted, it means there is an enemy. Of course, the use of the equipment is as simple as possible. It does not require too many functions, it only needs to be able to connect."
"Although this method may not necessarily work, it is better than doing nothing."
When the assistant commander heard Xiao Ran's words, a look of realization suddenly appeared on his face. He glanced at Cornelia, who had no expression at all, hesitated for a moment, nodded, then turned around and left, quickly going to give instructions for the work arranged by Xiao Ran.
After the assistant commander left, Xiao Ran looked at Cornelia and said gently, "There is no point in struggling to use this opportunity to trap me here. It is not your character to be in a dilemma, and I will not give you any other choice besides obeying me."
