April 5, 4363 (1666 AD).

Switzerland was ready for all-out war and sent Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin to the front line to supervise the war.

Recall General Zhou Yaolin and send General Xu Fei to become the new commander-in-chief of the army.

King Su Lei of Rui made the decision to change generals before the battle, which showed that he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Yaolin's performance on the battlefield.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin took the train heading north.

Rui Guo really took out his family wealth this time.

A total of 100,000 elite veterans and 100,000 new recruits were mobilized, using the old-to-new approach to accelerate the growth of the new recruits.

This army is fully equipped with various equipment, including 500 tanks and 2,000 artillery pieces of various types.

Rui's current national strength has reached its limit by deploying so many troops before it is fully mobilized.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin was not worried that the attack on Shu with an army of 200,000 would fail.

Unless Shu can win over allies and involve more countries in this war.

General Staff Officer Lu Qianjin didn't look good, mainly because Rui Wang Su Lei replaced frontline general Zhou Yaolin and arranged for Xu Fei to become the new commander-in-chief.

Zhou Yaolin is a young and middle-aged officer in the academy department. He belongs to the same branch as him, and the two have a good personal relationship.

Xu Fei was a bodyguard of King Rui Su Lei.

He studied at the Imperial Military Academy, but it was not considered an academy.

Xu Fei's ability to command operations is definitely not as good as Zhou Yaolin's.

But no one would question his loyalty to King Rui, and he would never compromise on executing King Rui's orders.

King Sule of Rui put most of Rui's army in the hands of a certain general, and this general must be his confidant.

Even if it is a close confidant, someone must supervise the army and prevent the army.

His mission this time is to supervise Xu Fei.

When Zhou Yaolin commanded the army, there were also other factions supervising him.

This is King Sule's way of balancing, not letting the army be in the hands of one person.

If something happens to the frontline generals, they can always find backup candidates.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin looked at the scenery outside the window rapidly retreating.

At the current speed of the train, we will reach the Hongshanling area in no time.

Xu Fei also took this train to go north together.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin had no idea of ​​meeting him.

If they can maintain superficial harmony and work together for a better Switzerland, this is the best result.

It is simply impossible for the two of them to cooperate sincerely.

If Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin does this, he will soon be recalled to the capital by King Su Lei of Rui.

The country of Switzerland has a small land area. After running wildly all night, the train quickly arrived at the rear base closest to the front line.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin saw Xu Fei arrogant, and he completed the handover of command with Zhou Yaolin.

Trains carrying trains from various parts of Switzerland to the front line will also open their doors one after another.

A large number of troops and supplies were transported on the train.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin observed the expressions of new recruits at the train station.

The new recruits are all elites selected from militias from various places.

They have gone through militia training and mastered basic combat skills.

After these people join the army, they can go to the battlefield after simple training.

The battlefield is the best teacher, and with veterans leading new recruits, the overall casualties are controllable.

This is also the price Switzerland should pay for its rapid military expansion.

There is confusion, fear, and worry on the faces of the recruits, but mostly pride.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin saw the expression on his face and believed that Switzerland would definitely win this war.

Even if the Shu Kingdom resists stubbornly, they will eventually lose the war.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin met with Zhou Yaolin at his residence in the evening.

Zhou Yaolin's face looked a little pale. After he entered the room, he said in a slightly aggrieved tone: "Chief of Staff Lu, my performance in this war is quite remarkable.

I want to ensure that the front moves forward without allowing the number of casualties in the army to be too high.

I was dancing with shackles, and to achieve the results I have now, I think I did a pretty good job.

Some time ago, we broke through the first line of defense of the Shu army.

If you grind harder this time, you may be able to break through the Shu army's second line of defense.

The imperial court does not allow us to attack places outside the Hongshanling area.

Otherwise, if I lead my troops to pass through the heavily defended Hongshanling area and directly cut off the Shu Kingdom's communication lines, this war would have been over long ago."

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin listened to General Zhou Yaolin's complaints.

He was right, the Swedish army was indeed dancing with shackles on during the battle.

In order not to expand the trouble, the imperial court did not simply limit the war to the Hongshanling area.

It also limits many tactics that can be used in conventional warfare.

When Rui State attacked the Hongshanling area before, its original purpose was just to prevent Shu from occupying the Hongshanling area without saying a word.

At that time, the Shu Kingdom was willing to compensate the Rui Kingdom, and the war would be over soon.

Things were deteriorating at that time, and neither country had any steps to go down.

Looking back now, I can see that there were some behind-the-scenes hands who were behind this incident.

General Zhou Yaolin asked: "I have led the army to understand the true combat effectiveness of the Shu army.

The next people only need to follow the instructions, and they will be able to achieve the fastest results, because this merit is based on.

These situations were already anticipated when I set off for the expedition.

But the only thing I don't understand is that the tactics I used to test Xu Fei's plan were not as cautious as mine.

I am here to ask the Chief of Staff of the General Staff of the People's Republic of China whether the Governor's Office has loosened its grip on the army and can use more tactics."

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin looked at Zhou Yaolin with an expression of dissatisfaction.

He could only nod his head and said helplessly: "That's true, now and then.

The situation in Europe is changing too fast now. Things that may have affected the overall turmoil in Europe before are irrelevant now.

It’s not that you don’t know how tense the situation in Europe is.

Our country must try its best to avoid becoming the eye of the storm sweeping Europe."

When Zhou Yaolin heard this situation, he sighed and said: "In the final analysis, I am not strong enough and the Swedish army is not strong enough.

The strength in my hand is really strong. I should have eliminated the enemies in the Hongshanling area early, so why let things develop like this?"

When Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin saw that General Zhou Yaolin had his own ideas, he did not need to persuade him.

He asked: "General Zhou, you have served in the northern part of the empire for many years and know the Shu army well.

What do you think the Shu army is most afraid of now?"

General Zhou Yaolin had just finished venting his frustration.

He had fought with Shu for such a long time and wanted to leave his experience behind.

Although he is not here, the combat methods passed down by him can still kill Shu.

This is also a happy thing.

Zhou Yaolin sat on a chair, lit a cigarette and fell into memories.

"The Shu army is very resilient and they are all good sons of the Han family.

In other words, they are an army with great courage.

The two armies were fighting with bayonets, showing a situation of even strength.

But the Shu army is not without its weaknesses. The biggest weakness is that the number of technical officers is scarce and their level is very low.

The Kingdom of Shu was only an agricultural country before and had not been exposed to many advanced weapons and equipment.

The Shu army obtained weapons and equipment from the empire. Generally speaking, firearms are easy to use and can be used after a few times.

For weapons that rely heavily on technology, the Shu army is somewhat unable to use them.

The Shu army's artillery was not powerful enough to suppress them. If they had not been hiding in the fort, they would have been razed to the ground by our artillery.

The Shu Army's technology has improved somewhat compared to the beginning, but for military services with high technical requirements, the Shu Army cannot imitate them in a short period of time.
