Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Go on." Adolf looked at Ludendorff, thought for a moment and then said to Ludendorff.

"Yes, leader." Ludendorff nodded, and then continued: "If the empire wants to attack the Rhineland, it must block the landings of the John Empire and Millican."

"If you want to prevent the other party from landing, you must first build a complete line of defense. For now, there are still some loopholes in the entire coastal defense line."

"These vulnerabilities include the Low Countries and Denmark."

"To the east of the empire is the Republic of Budapest. We have already reached a friendship treaty with the Republic of Budapest. Therefore, the possibility of John Empire and Millijan wanting to land from the Republic of Budapest is almost zero."

"But just in case, we still need to station 15 to 20 divisions of troops on the border of the Republic of Budapest in case the Republic of Budapest suddenly rebels."

"In this way, we can completely eliminate the threat from the east. The only ones left are Denmark and the Low Countries."

"The countries in these areas are very weak. The headquarters plans to use 10 divisions to attack Denmark and build a defensive line in Denmark to prevent the John Empire from landing in the Kingdom of Denmark."

"As for the Three Low Countries, the headquarters plans to cooperate with the Gaolu people and send troops to take down the Three Low Countries. In this way, the empire only needs to invest 15 divisions to take down the Three Low Countries."

"As long as we can capture these two areas, we and the Gaolu people can build a complete defense line on the west and north of the mainland to block the enemy from the sea."

"As long as the reinforcements from the John Empire and Milician cannot reach the shore, then we can send troops to the Rhineland Republic together with the Gaulanders."

"The high command plans to devote thirty divisions to advance into the Rhineland from the east, while the Gaulanders will attack from the west to cooperate with us."

"Theoretically, there is not much resistance to our attack on the Rhineland Republic, but it is worth noting that there is a Thionville defense line in the Rhineland Republic."

"This line of defense is a line of defense that the Rhineland Republic planned to build across the entire Rhineland Republic when it was founded."

"The entire defense line has a large number of bunkers and underground fortifications. It is a line of defense specially built by the Rhineland Republic to protect us and the High Road people."

"The original intention of building this defense line was to prevent us and the Gallic Empire from launching an attack on the Rhineland and to protect their citizens. Therefore, the entire defense line is extremely large. It can accommodate all the citizens of the Rhineland."

"In order to protect so many people, there are a large number of civilian facilities inside the defense line, including generators, drinking water filters, and a large amount of food, medicine, etc."

"This caused a huge problem for our attack on the Thionville defense."

"In fact, Rhineland claims that this line of defense is a line of defense that will never fall."

"According to the assessment of the high command, we want to take over the Rhineland Republic. This line of defense will cause us huge trouble. It deserves our attention."

Everyone present was silent when they heard Ludendorff's words.

From the information they received from Ludendorff, they could already imagine what it was like inside the Thionville defense line.

It is indeed very difficult to win this line of defense. At the same time, they also understood why the high command asked them to take over Denmark and the three Low Countries before attacking the Rhineland.

With such a line of defense, it is almost impossible to capture the Thionville defense line in a short time.

"If the Thionville Defense Line is really what you said, then what are the plans of your headquarters?" Adolf looked at Ludendorff and asked in a deep voice.

"Leader, for now, there is no good way. The only way is to unite with the high-roaders and attack from the front. In this tough battle, there is no possibility of trickery." Ludendorff shook his head and said to Adolf.

Adolf nodded, understanding Ludendorff's dilemma.

It is a well-defended fortress and is the last resort in Rhineland. It is still very difficult to break through easily.

Therefore, Adolf was not disappointed with Ludendorff.

If it is said that a country's last resort can be easily breached, then it seems a bit like a joke.

"Go on," Adolf said, looking at Ludendorff.

"Leader, the headquarters plans to mobilize 30 divisions, two air force divisions, and 12 train guns to attack the Thionville defense line from the front."

"It would be best if the empire's latest Gustav cannon and Paris cannon can also be transferred there."

"As long as the empire can blast a gap in the fortress, the empire's soldiers can attack the interior of the defense line through this gap."

"The most difficult part of the entire defense line is how to enter the interior of the defense fortress. As long as we can enter the interior of the fortress, the defense inside should not be too strong."

"According to the information we have received, the entire fortress is interconnected. At most, there will be some iron gates to separate them."

"Compared to the outer defense of the reinforced concrete structure outside the fortress, these partitions are defense points that can be easily breached."

"In other words, as long as we can open a hole, it will only be a matter of time before we take over the Rhineland."

Adolf nodded, and then continued to ask: "So, have you discussed this plan with the Gaoluren?"

"Return to the leader, I have already said it. But the Gaul side said that they need to discuss it before they can give us a reply." Ludendorff replied.

Adolf heard Ludendorff's words and nodded in approval.

"In this case, we are waiting for the feedback from the high-road people, but whether the high-road people agree with our plan or not, we still need to prepare according to the plan."

"Now that the empire's strength has recovered to a certain level, even if we wait any longer, it will not mean much to the empire."

"On the contrary, the Tianzhu rebellion in Asia continues, which seriously delays the energy of the John Empire."

"We have recently declared war on the John Empire. For the empire, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. With Tianzhu holding back the energy of the John Empire, they will not be able to do their best to compete with us for control of Europe."

"Once the John Empire suppresses Tianzhu's rebellion, they will be able to devote their energy to dealing with us. This is not good news for the empire."

"So, I decided to set the time to declare war around the end of 1930. In other words, the empire still has one last year of preparation time."

"In the last year, the empire's primary goal is still to import resources from all over the world and reserve more war supplies. In case the John Empire and the Millennium jointly blockade the empire after the war begins."

"Yes! Leader!"

Many senior officers of the Hans Empire present heard Adolf's words and immediately stood up and responded.
