Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 148: Military expansion and propaganda

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the total war of the alien empire!

Just like Sandy, at the emergency meeting of the National Assembly that night, the members exploded. They disregarded their identities, and they angrily and publicly cursed the shamelessness of the Enkelans, clamoring for the front-line troops to be transferred back and flattened. the entire Enkland Republic.

This kind of call was naturally rejected by Charlie. He took advantage of the situation to present the military expansion plan given by the War Department at the meeting and won the unanimous vote of the members. The Ministry of War plans to expand the five infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions on the basis of the existing four infantry divisions, so that the strength of the Fifth Army will be expanded to about 70,000 people.

With the new Fifth Army and the National Army recruited from the south, the Republic of Enkelan, with a total army strength of about 100,000, is afraid that it will be submerged in the vast ocean of people's war...

And it is.

Young people of school age from all over the country wanted to join the army to fight for the country, but they suffered from lack of formation. Now the National Assembly has ordered an expansion of the army by 70,000, and young people of school age from all over the country are flocking to the city hall again like a tide. The expansion of the seven divisions was full. While expanding the army in various places, local militias in all parts of the south responded to the call-up under the propaganda of the state apparatus and once again formed the National Army to fight for the defense of the motherland.

At the same time that the National Army was formed, bad news from the south was first introduced to Ankerton City, and was sent to Charlie by the army messenger:

The Navy under the command of Admiral Gerkaj Stuttle was attacked by the Enkland Navy during exercises in the Proden Sea. All but eighteen ships of the Republic Navy escaped, and the rest were either sunk or sunk. Captured, General Stewart himself was hit by a musket stray bullet during a close-quarters engagement, and was killed instantly!

Looking at the time when the naval battle broke out, it was just an hour before the official declaration of war, that is to say, the despicable Enkelans did not declare the war before they got on the train.

Perhaps it was because Charlie didn't build the ships himself, so he didn't feel anything about the ships lost in battle, and after the initial surprise, he quickly grasped the point.

Undeclared war!

Although this era is not so sensitive to this kind of thing, it does not prevent Charlie from making a big propaganda in the country and inciting the hatred of the people against the Republic of Enkelland.

However, although he did not care much about the losses of the Navy, this revenge of the Navy must also be avenged. The 18 warships that escaped from the Battle of the Prodden Sea were basically severely damaged, and they were mainly small and medium-sized warships. Charlie is not going to use those remaining warships as the backbone of the new navy in the future. Those ships will not return to the naval sequence after they are repaired. Charlie will use them to form a separate coast guard to defend against offshore emergencies. event.

The new navy that Charlie will form next will be dominated by Tier 4 and Tier 5 battleships, including short heavy artillery frigates and mortar ships, but the construction period of these battleships is a bit long, and the shortest will be five or six months—— After losing most of the naval battleships, the sea control was basically handed over. I was afraid that the navy of the Enkelans would be rampant enough to sail into the sea and shell the ports and shipyards on the southern coast, which would be troublesome.

The only way to counter the possible offshore shelling of the Enklan Navy is to build heavy artillery forts on the coast, shelling to expel them when the enemy navy approaches, or to let the remaining weak navies venture out to sea and drop mines in important waters.

In this era, mines have long been invented and have appeared many times in the war history of countries around the world. However, the mines of this era still belong to the relatively simple early mines. As long as they are touched, they will explode. The power of the explosion can easily blow a big hole in the bottom of a warship, and the sea water pours in frantically, even if it can't be blocked, and finally can only abandon the ship to escape.

Of course, because the technical conditions are still very simple, the shelf life of the mine is very short, and it is extremely unreliable. Any situation may cause it to explode. Therefore, although its power is great, it has not become a technology that is valued by the navies of various countries. In other words, the side using mines is the weaker side of the navy, and can only rely on this kind of auxiliary to resist the attack of the enemy's dominant navy.

Coincidentally, a batch of mines has always been stored in the naval warehouse of the Rumont Navy, so Charlie ordered the brigs that escaped to be repaired, and let them carry the mines into the sea. Just in case, the coastal coastline should also build forts to protect the safety of ports and shipyards.

...

Under the instigation of Charlie and the promotion of the national propaganda machine, the Republic of Enkelland attacked its own navy without declaring a war, and the news that the navy was almost wiped out quickly spread throughout the country, and was also sent to the north together with the baggage transport team. The battlefield immediately caused an uproar across the country.

Not only did the hostility of the Rumont nationals against the Republic of Enkelan peaked for a while, but civilians from all over the south again actively participated in the wave of the National Army, and the army that fought against the Hildi and Becky on the northern battlefield also shared the same hatred. , because Charlie ingeniously revealed in the propaganda that there may be a shadow of the Hildi people behind the declaration of war by the Enkelans.

Therefore, the hatred of the front-line army against the Hildis increased again, and even the morale and fighting spirit were greatly improved. Every soldier held his breath and wanted to defeat the Hildi as quickly as possible and end the north. war on the battlefield, and then marched south to avenge the Republic of Enkelans who "betrayed" them.

That's right ~www.readwn.com~ is "betrayal".

This statement also comes from Charlie's propaganda, in which the Rumont Republic is portrayed as a generous and generous, continuous flow of trade goods to the Enclave Republic, allowing the latter's merchants to earn a lot of "thumbs up" ”, but the Enkelans ignored their friendship, and instead used the money earned from the Rumen people to make small weapons and artillery, build warships, and become sharp weapons for attacking the Rumen Republic.

In the era of no developed Internet, people can be said to be ignorant, their only source of information from the outside world is newspapers and government propaganda, and when both are transmitting the same information to them, they will not hesitate believe it, and hold it as truth.

Therefore, until June 20, it only took more than half a month, the state machinery of the Rumont Republic was running at full speed. Not only did the seven divisions have more than 40,000 troops recruited again, but they also pulled up all over the south. A total of more than 100,000 National Army soldiers.

Most of these National Army soldiers participated in the previous two national civil wars. When they put down their weapons, they were ordinary citizens, but after picking up their weapons and returning to the queue, they were veterans with rich combat experience.

The Enklan Council would never have imagined that it would provoke such a terrifying existence.
