Chapter 260 The General Returns Once Again to Loyal Petrograd

"Stop standing there, hurry up and give chase! Catch them and take down as many as you can!"

Just as Katyusha and her men were beginning to celebrate their victory, Andrei's voice suddenly came through the radio.

"Go back and celebrate your victory however you like, celebrate however you want!"

"Now, let's take out their Titans as quickly as possible!"

Hearing Andrei's words, the Winter's Wrath Titan Legion seemed to wake from a dream, but when they saw the Black Hawk Titan Legion heading into the distance, all that remained on their faces was a bitter smile.

This was the first time they had defeated the Titan Legion of the Black Hawk Empire, and they were so excited that they even forgot about the pursuit.

However, given their Titans' movement speed, catching up with the enemy Titans is no easy task. Even with concentrated firepower, they would have a hard time destroying a Titan's Void Shield.

In contrast, Andrei's two tanks gave chase, but after pursuing for a distance, they turned back.

There was no other reason than that the enemy's air force was also retreating, and after a new round of modifications, Andrei's two tanks had significantly reduced anti-aircraft firepower, making them easy targets for enemy bombing.

The anti-aircraft firepower on the Giant Rat tank was originally quite strong, with a total of eight 20mm anti-aircraft guns and two 15mm anti-aircraft machine guns. In some versions, the Giant Rat tank even had an 88mm anti-aircraft gun as anti-aircraft firepower.

Unfortunately, in order to install the massive shield generator, Andrei had no choice but to remove the original anti-aircraft fire positions.

For this reason, even the mobile shrine can no longer be installed on the giant rat tank. Otherwise, pairing the mobile shrine with the choir and the Void Shield would be a perfect match!

With the shield protecting them, the mobile shrines and choirs are not in danger atop the giant rat tank.

The bonuses from the two churches can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness and survivability of these two tanks.

Because it lost its anti-aircraft firepower, and with bombs overhead, its falling speed is unlikely to reach the Void Shield's critical point unless the impact point is too high.

Therefore, even with the protection of the Void Shield, units like the Giant Rat Tank are relatively vulnerable when facing bombardment, unless they can obtain the laser crystals from the Black Hawk Empire.

The thought of laser crystals made Andrei incredibly eager to try them out; their anti-aircraft capabilities were simply insane!

Other countries took 20 years to develop laser air defense after the turn of the century, but the Black Hawk Empire has already developed it!

Who knows how the Black Hawk Empire developed its advanced technology? Andrei really wanted to know to what extent they utilized mages.
Due to interference from the enemy air force, the Giant Rat Tank ultimately failed to hunt down the enemy Titan, but it managed to break through the Void Shield of one Titan and damage it with a single shot.

Meanwhile, Andrei's Arrogant Fortress was attacked by enemy air raids.

Although the enemy's aerial bombs failed to penetrate the giant rat tank's turret, they did damage the turret's hydraulic system, rendering the turret unable to rotate.

Left with no other choice, the two players had to bring back the rare Giant Rat Tank and hand it over to other tank players for repair.

"Alright, that's good enough. At least we managed to damage one of the enemy's Titans!"

"In addition, their air force suffered heavy losses from our air force while trying to withdraw and provide cover. We also destroyed another large airship belonging to the Black Hawk Empire!"

Seeing his staff officers looking somewhat frustrated about the damage to the giant rat tank, Andrei comforted them, saying:
"In any case, we ultimately won this war, and that is beyond doubt!"

Upon hearing Andrei's explanation, his staff quickly put aside their frustration over the damage to the giant rat tank.

They fought a very impressive battle. Even though they didn't manage to wipe out the enemy completely, considering the serious losses they inflicted, they still deserve a big celebration!

That evening, Andrei and his soldiers put on a special bonfire party, and Andrei also witnessed the legendary Cossack war dance.

It must be said that anyone who can truly master this dance must have an incredibly stable lower body. Amidst the soldiers' urging, Andrei, emboldened by alcohol, went up and danced a couple of times, only to fall quite miserably, as expected.

But at times like these, nobody cares about such trivial matters.

As a high-ranking general, and a rising star whose future is destined to shine brightly, Andrei's willingness to dance with ordinary soldiers was enough to excite them.

If it were any other noble general in the Cambrian Empire, let alone personally dancing with the soldiers, even participating in the soldiers' bonfire party would be considered a very rare thing.

In addition, Andrei danced two songs with Katyusha and Yelena, but Katyusha was not very satisfied with the dance.

There's no other reason; it's simply because I'm too short, so jumping always feels awkward.

With Andrei's height of around 1.8 meters and Yelena's height of around 1.7 meters, their jumps complement each other perfectly and look very suitable.

But when he pulled Katyusha to dance, anyone who didn't know better would have thought that Andrei had come to attend a primary school party!

Especially when Katyusha stood between Andrei and Yelena, she always felt that she didn't look like Andrei's fiancée at all!

If you didn't know better, you'd think she was Andrei and Elena's daughter!
However, when the soldiers sang "Katyusha" in unison, her expression immediately improved, especially when she heard that it was a song that Andrei had written especially for her. Katyusha's eyes seemed to light up with tears.

Regarding this question, Andrei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He could only say that it was truly an awkward misunderstanding.

However, he naturally couldn't offer any explanation at this time. Even if his emotional intelligence was average, it wouldn't be that bad.

Putting aside the series of embarrassing moments during the dance, Andrei had to admit that his soldiers were truly multi-talented.

Playing the harmonica is nothing special, but the ventriloquist who can mimic various musical instruments with just his mouth truly amazed Andrei.

So after the party, Andrei gave the soldier a forced order, requiring him to learn the language of the Black Hawk Empire as quickly as possible.

If he could learn the language of the Black Hawk Empire, and with his ventriloquism skills, he would be an absolute gem if he were incorporated into some special operations squads!

Of course, as a reward for discovering talent, Andrei also promoted him to corporal, breaking with precedent.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, if he wanted to be promoted from a private to a corporal, it would take him quite a while to achieve the promotion, and he was more likely to die on the battlefield.

The Cambrian Empire's various forces are suffering alarming losses. Even with repeated mobilizations, this massive empire is ultimately struggling to keep up.

At least in the short term, the Cambrian Empire has mobilized almost all the suitable soldiers it can, and the remaining conscripts are still busy with intensive training.

Although the Cambrian Empire had simplified the training as much as possible, at the very least, they had to ensure that these soldiers knew how to fire a gun, how to dig trenches, and how to follow orders.

Especially the last point, that's the most crucial one!
The vast majority of soldiers, due to their limited education and lack of experience, simply did not know how to obey the instructors' orders when they first entered the training camp.

Forget about not being able to distinguish left from right; they might not even understand what to do when the instructor orders them to charge while they're firing a gun.

Therefore, even though the Cambrian Empire had compressed soldier training to the extreme, and at its most extreme, sent them to the battlefield after only six weeks of training, they still could not further reduce the training time.

Even these soldiers, who were sent to the battlefield after only six weeks of training, were also used as cannon fodder to fill in the gaps.

When Andrei reported the victory to the rear, General Constantine soon sent a telegram ordering Andrei to lead his troops back to Petrograd immediately.

At first, he was somewhat puzzled by the order, but after reading the details of the telegram, he understood:

Although they had indeed achieved a considerable victory, even capturing the important transportation hub of Chudovo which they had previously lost, by this point in the war, the troops on other defensive lines were already struggling to hold on.

Andrei had initially thought that his counterattack might be able to successfully restore the second line of defense.

However, on other fronts, not only the second line of defense, but even the third line of defense has been breached by the Black Hawk Army, with Black Hawk Empire soldiers already reaching the outskirts of Petrograd.

Although the reconnaissance team, which had ventured too far into enemy territory, was quickly wiped out, the fact that the enemy had penetrated so deeply meant that the second line of defense had undoubtedly collapsed.

So Andrei quickly led the Winter's Wrath Titan Legion, which had just arrived, to abandon Chudovo's position as fast as possible and return to Schlüsselburg.

Although it was a pity to abandon the position, Andrei didn't really care too much.

Even if the positions he had just captured were ultimately surrendered, he had at least eliminated a large number of enemy troops and bought time for the troops on other defensive lines to catch their breath.

Moreover, because Andrei successfully defended Schlüsselburg, the Victory Railway continues to play a role.

During this period, Moscow finally eased restrictions on transportation to Petrograd, sending over about 50,000 tons of grain in one go.

With a large amount of food and Katyusha's Titan Legion, Moscow's support for Petrograd was somewhat effective.

Back at his headquarters at the Schlüsselburg defense line, Andrei immediately dialed the front headquarters.

"Hello, this is Major General Vorontsov. I have urgent business with the army group commander!"

Upon hearing the call, the operator immediately and without hesitation summoned General Constantine and handed him the phone as quickly as possible.

"Hey, old man, I've brought the troops back. What's the next step?"

"There's one more thing. I wonder when my military rank will be promoted?"

"Don't tell me that even though I've led my troops to achieve so many successes, Moscow is still holding back my rank and refusing to promote me!"

As soon as the call connected, Andrei immediately asked his adoptive father about the situation on the front lines, as he was in no good mood about it.

Although he was indeed able to gain a certain local advantage, and with the support of two giant rat tanks and the newly arrived Titan Legion, he could even cripple a main force of the enemy's Titan Legion.

But so what?
The Black Hawk Empire's offensive remained extremely rapid, and the troops on other defensive lines simply could not withstand it.

It's not enough for Andrei to fight fiercely on his own; the entire front line needs to be mobilized!
Faced with Andrei's question, General Constantine paused for a moment before speaking on the phone:

"Regarding your troops, you may need to take some time to rest and recuperate, as your troops require reorganization and restructuring!"

"As for your military rank? Congratulations! You will soon be promoted to lieutenant general. Moscow has already sent a telegram approving my promotion application, and the letter of appointment will be sent over soon!"

"Don't worry about anything else for now. Just take your troops back to Petrograd as soon as possible, and I'll talk to you about it later!"

After saying this, General Constantine hung up the phone abruptly. It was unclear whether his communications were particularly busy or if there was some other reason.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Katyusha came over to Andrei and asked:
"What's wrong, Andreosha? Is Uncle Constantine's campaign not going well?"

Andrei shook his head, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"It's hard to say. I feel it's not just because the battle isn't going well. It seems like there's something else he hasn't told me."

Seeing that Katyusha wanted to ask something more, Andrei glanced around and then interrupted her somewhat rudely, saying:

"Enough of that for now. I have some good news for you: I'm finally going to be promoted to lieutenant general!"

"Haha, from now on, I'm a lieutenant general too! We won't have to face the awkward situation of a major general commanding a lieutenant general anymore!"

Sure enough, as soon as Andrei told the news, Katyusha's face immediately lit up with surprise.

"That's wonderful, Andreosha, congratulations!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I believe you should be able to become the youngest lieutenant general in the history of the Cambrian Empire, right?"

probably?

Andrei wasn't entirely sure either; at least in his recollection, it was impossible for someone to be promoted to lieutenant general at the age of 22, according to normal military rank promotions.

But just then, Andrei suddenly noticed the lieutenant general's rank on Katyusha's shoulder and asked with a slightly strange expression:

"Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right. If we're talking about the youngest lieutenant general in the Cambrian Empire, shouldn't it be you?"

Katyusha shook her head, shrugged indifferently, and said:

"That's all in the past. I was recently promoted to lieutenant general. If you calculate it that way, I became a lieutenant general at the age of 23, which is definitely not as young as you at 22, is it?"

Andrei blinked, then slapped his forehead and said:

"Oh, right, I forgot you're actually older than me!"

"Sigh, I have to say, your height is so deceptive that I always think you're a minor!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Andrei was kicked hard in the calf.

Judging from Katyusha's expression, if there weren't other people watching, Andrei would have suspected she would pounce on him and bite him.

"Damn it, so what if you're tall! I was the tallest before I was 10, who knew I stopped growing after I turned 11?"

Katyusha's expression was one of utter despair as she spoke.

This is really strange. She doesn't understand what kind of genetic mutation she has undergone, or why she stopped growing so early.
Count and Countess Kuragin are not short, and her two older sisters are both over 1.7 meters tall, but when it comes to her, her height suddenly seems wrong!
Andrei quickly informed the entire army of the withdrawal, and the soldiers' reactions to the news of their impending retreat to Petrograd were quite different.

Upon hearing the news, some soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hoping to return to Petrograd as soon as possible to get some rest.

Although fighting alongside Andrei was indeed quite exhilarating, with them relentlessly beating up the Black Hawk Japanese soldiers along the way, they also had to admit that fighting with Andrei was truly exhausting.

Aside from the initial positional warfare, Andrei's side was relatively calm. Later on, Andrei was mostly engaged in mobile warfare with the enemy.

There's no other way. Given the Black Hawk Empire's offensive capabilities and artillery advantage, fighting a positional war with them is really not a good option, especially since their armored forces are too fast.

Holding the line indefinitely will only lead to being divided and surrounded by the enemy. Even if Andrei can hold the line, the divided lines will ultimately become useless.

War is always fought as a whole, not in a localized battle. For example, Andrei had clearly defended Chudovo, but because other defensive lines had fallen, the city was useless even though it was defended.

If they insist on staying here, the enemy will only be able to flank them from other rooms, trapping Andrei in the city and cutting off their escape route.

Besides these exhausted soldiers who longed to return, there was another group of soldiers who didn't really want to go back.

Due to the Black Hawk Empire's bloody massacres along the way, a large number of Cambrian soldiers in Andrei's army harbored deep hatred for the enemy.

Many soldiers witnessed their hometowns being burned to the ground by the enemy, or their relatives and friends being killed and humiliated by the enemy.

In this state, their minds were filled with hatred, and they only hoped to follow in Andrei's footsteps to kill more Black Hawk soldiers.

In response to this situation, Andrei spoke with them privately and tried his best to calm them down.

"Soldiers, I understand your hatred for the enemy. Too many sons and daughters of the Cambrian Empire have fallen in this war!"

"But even if we hate the enemy, we cannot let hatred cloud our judgment. Our temporary retreat is for a better counterattack next time. Only by pulling back the fist can the next punch be more powerful!"

Although Andrei's words sounded somewhat unrealistic, it was difficult for him to truly empathize with these soldiers.

Regardless, Andrei was, after all, their division commander and general. It was simply unbelievable in the Cambrian Empire for a general to personally come and persuade an ordinary soldier.

Therefore, many soldiers agreed to temporarily set aside their hatred, return to rest and reorganize their troops. Once they had more weapons and equipment and more soldiers, they would continue to launch powerful attacks against the enemy.

However, before retreating, Andrei left behind a considerable number of players, as well as some soldiers who were unwilling to leave.

Needless to say, the players are in a great condition. These guys don't seem to get tired or hungry, and they can automatically get supplies by relying on support soldiers, while medics can also provide them with medical care.

Especially for these players, they are all more Khorne than Khorne himself. They play this game just to fight, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't fight for even a minute.

Therefore, after some consideration, Andrei decided to leave a large number of players behind to act as guerrillas and block the enemy as much as possible.

As their influence expands, these soldiers remain in the Schlüsselburg and Chudovo front lines, but they are not forced to leave the war zone.

In that case, letting the players stay here and wear down the enemies as much as possible isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Andrei was also eager to know what price the Black Hawk soldiers would have to pay to gain a foothold in this region when faced with the players' constant harassment.
Based on his assessment, at least, he felt that the Black Hawk Empire would have a hard time establishing a foothold in this region.

Players who constantly harass and wear down their opponents are a nightmare for all Black Hawk soldiers. It won't be long before they discover that the trees in this area can speak Cambrian.

"Andrei, you're leaving so many elite soldiers here, isn't that a good idea?"

During the retreat, Yelena glanced at the group of soldiers who had volunteered to stay behind and couldn't help but ask Andrei with some concern:

"To be honest, we might be able to hold Schlüsselburg, but places like Chudovo will inevitably be captured by the enemy."

"Letting them stay is tantamount to sending them to their deaths."

Obviously, under normal circumstances, if such a group of soldiers were left behind, it's uncertain whether they could wage a successful guerrilla war, but they would certainly suffer heavy casualties.

Don't think that guerrilla warfare is an easy way to win big with small resources. Generally speaking, unless there is no other choice, no one will place all their hopes on guerrilla warfare.

When guerrilla warfare begins, it means that the enemy has penetrated deep into one's own territory, while one's own forces are unable to confront the enemy head-on.

"Yelena, I know that they will face great danger if they stay, but we can't just let the enemy take our position for nothing."

Andrei sighed and began to try to cover up the players' behavior.

"Before this, I had already scattered and hidden some supplies in this area, and most of the soldiers I left behind had also received specialized guerrilla warfare training."

"What the Empire needs most right now is to buy as much time as possible. Only by giving the Cambrian Empire a chance to catch its breath can we have room to launch a counterattack. I can only ask them to help buy time."

Yelena nodded, seemingly believing Andrei's words.

Or rather, she did have some understanding of Andrei's amazing and fearless soldiers, so she believed in their abilities.

She was just feeling sorry for these soldiers, not knowing how many of these elite soldiers would actually survive.
"Ugh, it's all because of this damned war!"

Andrei's troops returned to Petrograd in batches by military train. As soon as they got off the train, Andrei and his men were warmly welcomed by the citizens of Petrograd.

"Hurrah! My loved ones, look! Our war hero is back!"

"Where is General Victory? Has anyone seen him?"

"Guys, you're all great! Help us give those Black Hawk devils a good beating!"

Seeing the citizens who came to welcome him, Andrei smiled, but he quickly noticed the composition of these citizens.

Unlike when he led his troops out of Petrograd before, when the citizens came to see him off.

Although there were more citizens welcoming them this time, Andrei rarely saw any adult men among them.

Most of the citizens who came to welcome them were women and teenagers, with many elderly people also mixed in. However, it was really difficult to find a young and strong man.

"What's going on? The situation in Petrograd has become so critical that we need to mobilize all the able-bodied men?"

As soon as he jumped off the train, Andrei asked a question to an officer who came to greet him.

The officer looked unusually young, almost the same age as Andrei when he became a captain.

The moment he saw Andrei, his face lit up with excitement, and his body even trembled slightly with excitement.

"General! Oh my god! I can't believe it really is you!"

"I've only ever seen you in newspaper articles before. I really... I'm so honored..."

He grabbed Andrei's hand and rambled on and on, barely managing to calm his excited emotions.

After calming down, he realized just how rude he had been and couldn't help but feel anxious again.

However, Andrei did not dwell on these minor issues; he simply repeated what he had said earlier.

"General, that is indeed the case! We are currently mobilizing a large number of men in the city and giving them standardized training."

"There's no other way. Our troops at the front have suffered heavy losses. Another corps has even been surrounded and wiped out by the enemy. We have no choice but to launch a new round of war mobilization!"

Upon hearing this, Andrei frowned, realizing that the situation seemed even worse than he had imagined.

Noticing Andrei's expression, the young captain quickly added:

"But General, you don't need to worry. Our situation isn't that critical yet. Most of the young and middle-aged men have gone to work in factories!"

"To cope with the current war, Petrograd has now put all its factories at full capacity, with workers working in three shifts, day and night."

"But there is a severe shortage of raw materials in Petrograd right now, and our current production cannot be sustained for long."

"We are just trying to produce as many weapons as possible and arm as many people as possible before the enemy attacks."

Well, in general, the situation can only be described as very critical.

Just as Andrei was busy talking to the captain, he suddenly heard an air raid siren sounding urgently.

Upon hearing the air raid siren, the citizens outside the train station who were there to welcome Andrei's triumphant army panicked. However, officers immediately rushed out and spontaneously fired shots into the air to maintain order.

"Don't panic, everyone calm down!"

"Everyone, follow me! Get away from the train station area. The other side is safe!"

At the same time, Andrei also saw what appeared to be a formation of Black Hawk Empire airships at the edge of the sky.

However, the moment the Black Hawk Empire airship formation appeared, planes immediately took off from the field airfield on the edge of the city and headed towards the airship formation.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, with planes and airships constantly falling from the sky.

Seeing that some players were already flying planes towards the enemy air force, Andrei breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, otherwise, if the enemy had bombed the train station at this moment, he felt that tens of thousands of people might have died in one go!
The deaths from bombings are only one aspect; the main problem is that there are simply too many people gathered here.

If so many people panic completely, the resulting stampede is simply unimaginable!
"Captain, has the Black Hawk Empire been bombing our city these past few days?"

“That’s right, General. The Black Hawk Empire is going crazy!”

After casually making a complaint, the captain immediately continued:

"Starting about a week ago, Petrograd has been subjected to at least one enemy air raid almost every day. At its peak, it was bombed four times a day!"

"Fortunately, our air force brothers were really good. They helped us intercept most of the enemy's bombings. In addition, the Black Hawk Empire usually bombs our factories, so the casualties in the city were not very high."

Andrei nodded. No wonder the officer had been desperately trying to lead the citizens towards the street.

Although there aren't many fortifications on that side of the street, and it's even less likely that there are any large-scale underground civil defense projects.

However, in terms of bombing targets, the commercial street was much safer than the train station.

The enemy could cripple Petrograd's rail traffic by bombing the train station, but what would they gain by bombing the commercial district? Would they just shut down the shops?
Unfortunately, Petrograd does not have a subway system, or rather, no city in the Cambrian Empire at that time had a subway system.

Otherwise, the subway is the best civil defense project in such times. If a large-scale evacuation is needed, a subway station can accommodate a considerable number of people.

Looking into the distance, it seemed that the enemy's air raid had once again failed to achieve its intended purpose.

This time, they did not bring small airships for escort, but instead operated with four medium-sized airships, one responsible for bombing and the other for providing cover for each other.

However, despite the players' fierce firepower, two medium-sized airships were still destroyed, while the remaining two medium-sized airships were destroyed by a sudden and massive lightning chain.

Looking at the coil cannon mounted on a tall tower in the distance, Andrei thought of the Tesla cannon he had seen in Pskov.

It seems that the Cambrian Empire has made some progress in Tesla cannons; at least he didn't recall the Tesla cannons being able to fire chain lightning last time.

"Damn, come to think of it, what kind of bizarre black technology is this?"

Andrei rubbed his forehead, feeling that in certain specialized fields, the Cambrian Empire's advanced technology was actually quite sophisticated.

Although the Cambrian Empire's overall technological level can only be described as very poor, it was at least an era behind the Black Hawk Empire.

However, it must be said that the Cambrian Empire did possess some advanced technology.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, this thing seems to be controlled by a mage?"

"When I get back to this point, I'll just talk to my cheap old man and see if I can arrange for a few psionic players to act as charging banks!"

Suddenly remembering something, Andrei's face curled into a mischievous smile as he muttered to himself.

If he hadn't had spellcaster units at his disposal before, he certainly wouldn't have been able to manipulate this type of magical technology.

But now that he already has a psionic unit, he shouldn't have any problem controlling this kind of magical turret, right?

At the very least, he had no problem using psionic players as power banks to charge the Void Shield.

I don't know what the principle behind that huge energy core is, but the total amount of magic power it can hold is truly enormous.

Andrei calculated that to fully charge an energy core, he would need about ten psionic players to overheat it 50 times.

As before, Andrei's troops were relocated to the Vorontsov family estate.

In this respect, his troops were gradually becoming the private army of the Vorontsov family.

Sitting next to Andrei, Katyusha, also a countess's daughter, watched this scene, pondered for a moment, and then said to him:
“Andreosha, it seems that Uncle Constantine must have some big plans in mind, otherwise he wouldn’t have been unaware of this!”

Andrei nodded, and said nonchalantly:

"That's not surprising. Given his usual behavior, it's hard to trust our Tsar."

"The old man was, after all, a seasoned feudalist warrior. If he didn't know how to stockpile power during such turmoil, then all his years as a military aristocrat would have been for nothing."

At this point, Andrei chuckled coldly twice.

Military aristocrats naturally tend to become warlords, so it's not surprising at all.

If the Cambrian Tsars were truly reliable enough to set aside past prejudices and mobilize the entire empire's power to wholeheartedly fight against the enemy...

Andrei might try to dissuade General Constantine and urge him to tone it down a bit.

However, given the current situation, Andrei felt that Admiral Constantine's actions were not fierce enough!
Anyway, he estimated that after this battle, the Cambrian Empire would most likely be torn apart, and at least the Tsar's rule didn't seem like it could be secured.

Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to accumulate more of your own strength?

"By the way, what about your Titan Legion? Where were they deployed?"

Just then, Andrei suddenly noticed that the Winter's Wrath Titan Legion did not seem to be following his troops.

Even though his two P1000 giant rats had gone around from another direction, intending to drive into the Vorontsov family's estate from somewhere else, Katyusha's Titan was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing Andrei's question, Katyusha pointed to the Vorontsov family's factory in the distance and said:
"The Titan was obviously dismantled and then sent to a factory for maintenance and upkeep, right?"

"Otherwise, you can't expect these Titans to be perpetual motion machines, so that no matter how many battles they fight, none of their parts will be damaged, right?"

Seeing the still somewhat bewildered look on Andrei's face, Katyusha couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead.

"Alright, Andreosha, I forgot that your military theory is a complete mess. You know, it's very troublesome for the Empire to mobilize the Titan Legion."

"For example, in addition to the Titan Legion's direct forces, Moscow also needs to send a large number of technicians and specialized supporting equipment, as well as a batch of spare parts, so that Petrograd can have the ability to maintain the Titans."

"Otherwise, if a Titan breaks down halfway through the next war, we'll be in big trouble."

Andrei nodded, silently memorizing this knowledge in his mind.

Sure enough, he knew that for such a behemoth as the Titan to function properly, it would require enormous logistical support.

He just hadn't expected that maintaining Titan would be so troublesome!

Seeing Andrei's dazed expression, Katyusha asked with some suspicion:

"Wait a minute, I mean, those two super tanks of yours should also be considered Titan units, right?"

"Don't your two tanks need supporting factories and equipment for maintenance?"

Uh……

Andrei blinked, momentarily at a loss for words to explain the situation.

Can he say that he really doesn't need it, and that all he needs to do is have other players drive their tanks around and use their group repair skills to fully restore the p1000 giant rat?

(End of this chapter)
