Chapter 526: Smoke of War
Nineteen great nations.

Among them, eight major countries have established diplomatic relations with the Free Alliance.

In other words, don't the other eleven major powers exist as enemies of the Free Alliance?
Black and white.

In this war-torn world, there is no such thing as a neutral country, because no one can guarantee that you are not reaping the benefits. If you want to stay out of it, you will be the first to perish.

This can be seen from the fact that there are 19 countries in the West and hundreds of vassal states.

The Oracle Freedom Alliance does not have absolute dominance in the West, and the West is still in a state of division among various countries. It is no wonder that the Freedom Alliance wants to seize the territory in the East and obtain a large amount of resources to break this situation.

The Free Alliance knows this, but doesn't the Empire know this?
Vega did not believe that the people in the empire were all fools. If it were him, he would definitely adopt the strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, making friends with the enemy countries of the Free Alliance in the west of the continent, and letting these hostile countries contain the alliance.

Simultaneously.

The Empire can find a suitable opportunity here to launch military action against the Kingdom, then annex the Holy Dynasty that it has already taken possession of, and finally, after completing the unification of the East, use its layout in the West to attack the Free Alliance and other nine countries.

Vega stared at the world map, it seemed that the map was more beautiful than the fairy species next to it.

He stared at him for a whole hour. Vega's motionless appearance made the fairy girl Hesterly and the other girl beside him want to ask something but didn't dare to. However, when the time reached one hour and thirty minutes, Vega finally came back to his senses.

He waved his hand, signaling the two girls to leave the room.

Then Vega walked back and forth in the room for a few steps before muttering to himself: "If I were the think tank of the empire, how would I solve the current dilemma?"

I asked myself again.

Then, based on the premise that the dynasty and the alliance were the main forces in this joint operation, a conclusion was finally drawn:

First, find a way to recover the 80 main forces trapped in the United Kingdom front.

Second, find a way to drag the entire continent into the matter and not let any country stay out of it, so as to distract the attention of the Free Alliance and ultimately achieve the goal of fishing in troubled waters.

If the empire still has a considerable number of trump cards.

Then such a melee is what the empire would most like to see, and the final winner will inevitably be the empire.

"It can't be delayed any longer."

War is always a race against time, and Vega realized the seriousness of the matter.

He must now unite with other countries to launch an attack on the Empire before the Empire completes the withdrawal of 80 main forces and unites with other Western countries to delay the layout of the Free Alliance. He must strive to occupy strategic points in a short period of time that will make it impossible for the Empire to turn the tables, and then use these strategic points to completely destroy the Empire within a few years.

The only thing that made Vega feel fortunate was that there was a kingdom holding back the 80 main forces of the empire.

If this war of annihilation is likened to a game of chess, then there is no doubt that the 80 main forces are the most important piece that can turn the chessboard over. If this piece is completed, there will be no worries at home and the world will be under control. If this piece cannot be withdrawn, there will be no way to turn the situation around and a dead end will be inevitable.

So on that day.

Vega ordered the recall of all troops that were on missions outside or undergoing field training, and reorganized them into five army groups, totaling 5 people. He also issued national debt to the whole country in the name of the queen to ensure that there were sufficient military funds for this war.

Also.

Vega guided public opinion across the country, packaging this war as a war of justice and revenge, in order to gain the support of all domestic subjects. After all, those who hold the righteous position can always do whatever they want.

At last.

Vega sent a letter to the allied countries, agreeing to launch this battle in a month - the Four Nations' Conquest of the Empire. This time, Vega still fought on two fronts from the north and east of the empire, with the northern front as the main battle. The first strategic point he wanted to seize was the important northern city of Kareni, and the eastern front was supplementary, mainly to contain and attract attention.

If the empire is split in half, into east and west, Vega will be in charge of the east.

In contrast, the main force responsible for the west is the Free Alliance.

This time, the Free Alliance will raise one million troops to cross the Galan Mountains, pass through the Principality of Baya from the southwest and northwest, and directly approach the Empire from the Sunset Fortress and the Belarus Grand Canyon. Without the natural barrier of the vassal state, the alliance can directly threaten the border of the Empire by crossing the mountains.

What about the Principality of Baya?
Taking into account the current situations of the Principality of Baya and the United Kingdom, the two countries will act as auxiliary forces this time. The Principality of Baya will form an army of 30 to be responsible for the flexible support and blocking tasks of this joint operation.

Support includes strategic support and logistical support.

Don't forget that the Principality of Baya still has two air forces, which are flexible enough to complete support missions well.

Finally, the United Kingdom.

There is not much that the United Kingdom needs to do, which is to tie down the 80 troops of the Empire in the country. This is their main task. As for the secondary task, it is to provide air support at any time. The Kingdom still retains a fairly large air force.

Ten days had passed since we completed these war preparations.

Now the fight can barely be started. All we have to do next is to do our best and leave the rest to fate, waiting for the empire to reveal their cards one by one, and then respond accordingly.

But now there is a problem that must be solved.

With the current economic strength of the Holy Dynasty, there would be no problem if they only carried out a single-line battle. After all, the new thing like national debt really helped Vega recover some blood. However, it seemed a bit beyond their ability to attack the southeastern part of the empire at the same time.

This inability is not only due to economic reasons, but also to insufficient military forces.

Now, there are only about 60 troops capable of fighting in the dynasty. Among them, 50 will follow Vega to the imperial city of Kareni, and the other 10 will stay in the country to be responsible for national defense. So, should the enemy country send reserve troops to the eastern front?
That's no different from committing suicide.

Besides.

Now the Dynasty has conquered many places in the east and west, and has about 4 standard air forces. Three of them followed Vega to the northern Kareni front, and the remaining one stayed in the country. So where can the enemy's eastern front find air forces?

This time, unlike the last time, it is not just for the purpose of scaring people. We can just send the army to the border for a stroll.

This time, we have to attack the Empire's Elkia city with real weapons to tie down the Empire's main force in the east. Sending troops without combat effectiveness over there will make the enemy more courageous and enhance their combat effectiveness and morale.

No diamonds, no porcelain work.

In fact, there is indeed a force in the country that has money, people, and can even get scarce things like war airships. This force is of course the old aristocracy.

The wealth accumulated by the old aristocracy is incalculable.

This is also the reason why Vega only dared to use the method of boiling a frog in warm water to weaken the power of the old aristocracy, and did not dare to openly uproot the power of the old aristocracy without an excuse.

Now this force is centered around Okasos.

Almost no one opposed any order from Okasos, because Okasos was originally a great noble in the dynasty.

Therefore, in this two-front war, Vega planned to let Okasos personally lead his men to attack the eastern part of the empire. Vega was also confident that he could make Okasos temporarily put aside his conflicts and unite against external forces. After all, his loyalty to the royal family of the dynasty was unquestionable.
