Chapter 715: The Collapsing Supply Line

Compared with the collapse and despair of the Sheeran army, the Knights of Michael were very calm.

The Avalon Fortress was the first fortress of the Britannian Empire. The baggage reserves should not be too abundant. The Winter War equipment stored in the warehouse is barely enough for the entire regiment to use.

The Northbound Administration will also transfer the part that is not enough.

There is a straight road between Baiti City and Avalon Fortress where the Northbound General Administration is located, and the lack of Winter War equipment will soon be sent to Avalon Fortress.

Therefore, General Dong's early attack only surprised Su Cheng a little and did not panic.

With his order, cotton armor, quilts, gloves and other Winter War equipment were pulled out of the warehouse to arm the entire Michael Knights' Army.

With this stability, sufficient supply reserves and blessings, compared with the generals and soldiers of the Knights of Michael, Su Cheng was more worried about whether his daughter was frozen.

...

...

Aeghar Corridor, Sheeran Army Camp, Wounded Barracks.

"Get get it get it get it get it..."

Gabriel lay on the bed, wrapped his thin blanket tightly around him, curled up.

But even doing so, it was unable to resist the invasion of the severe cold.

Gabriel's teeth were trembling constantly due to the severe cold, making a strange sound of "get it to be done".

The other wounded soldiers who lived in the same camp as him curled up on the bed like Gabriel, and wrapped themselves tightly with a thin blanket.

I don't know who suddenly suggested:

"We might as well lean on each other, right? This might make it warmer."

As soon as the man finished speaking, his proposal was instantly approved by everyone around him.

"This is good!"

"That's right! Let's lean together!"

"Hurry up, I'm going to freeze to death."

...

Everyone in the camp stood close together and kept warm with each other's body temperature.

I don't know if it was Gabriel's lucky or unfortunate, but he was caught in the middle.

Being sandwiched in the middle is the warmest, and from this point of view, I am quite lucky.

But being stuck in the middle is also the most uncomfortable and unfortunate. Everyone squeezed into the middle, and being stuck in the middle is forced to smell the strange body odor and even bad breath of the people around them.

And even if you are sandwiched in the middle, it is not very warm. At most, the teeth are not as good as the fight.

"Yes, damn!" Gabriel cursed while rubbing his arms that were constantly getting goose bumps, "Why are the quilts, cotton armor, and cotton coats not delivered yet! What is the logistics troops doing!"

...

...

It is a complete dream to carry out daily training without cotton armor, gloves and other winter war equipment.

On the day General Winter came, all training activities were suspended.

Except for the soldiers who were patrolling and standing guard, no soldier dared to run out of the tent.

The delay in the Winter War equipment made Dominic feel increasingly impatient.

If the winter equipment is not delivered in time, let alone continuing to fight the military and food battles with the Michael Knights! Maybe the soldiers will all mutiny!

The unbearable Dominic asked the logistics troops to give an explanation, why has it been so long and the Winter War equipment has not been delivered yet?

In desperation, the logistics team sent a first-class quarantine officer to talk to Dominic.

In Dominic's commander's tent, all the senior generals of the Sheeran Army gathered together.

The senior generals sat on both sides of the commander's tent, glaring at the poor first-class military officer who was standing in the middle of the commander's tent with cold sweat on his face.

The winter war equipment has not arrived for a long time. Not only the ordinary soldiers feel angry and resentful, but even the senior generals in the army are very angry.

Even the equipment used for the cold is not given, so how can they continue to confront the Knights of Michael?

Dominic, sitting in the main seat, looked coldly at the first-class quarrestrial officer in front of him: "What the hell is going on? Why hasn't a piece of Winter War equipment been sent to the front line after so many days?"

"Hissergeant Marshal..."

The first-class quarrel swallowed with difficulty.

"It's been a long time since this area will not start to snow until late October, and it has been like this for decades..."

"The total size of the combat troops and logistics troops - the expeditionary army is as high as nearly one million. To maintain the normal operation of such a large-scale army, the supply and transportation plan must be very meticulous."

"The transportation plans we originally formulated were made on the premise that snowfall would only begin in late October."

"According to the original plan, we plan to send enough food and grass to replenish supplies in September first to ensure that the front-line army will no longer worry about food and grass and other consumables in a short period of time, and then free up some transportation teams in early October to start transporting Winter War equipment."

"But this snowfall that has been ahead of time has completely disrupted the transportation plan of our logistics force..."

"General Winter not only disrupted our transportation plan, but the thick snow also slowed down our transportation speed..."

"From the current capacity situation, we can't deliver enough winter equipment used by the frontline army while delivering consumables such as food and grass for warfare..."

“Simply put, it is…”

The first-class quartermaster gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say:

"Marson, no one expected that this winter would come so quickly... The transportation plan originally formulated is no longer available, and the transportation of the baggage is now... completely in chaos..."

Bang!

Dominic hit the table in front of him.

"Shut up! I'm asking you to come over, not to listen to you talking nonsense!"

Marshal Dominic roared at the quarantine in front of him.

"See me a way to bring me the armor and quilts that are enough for the front-line army to use! Otherwise, do you want my soldiers to use summer equipment and fight against the Britannians with their frostbite skin? Don't joke!"

"...Marson Marshal!" The first-class quarantine officer took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to shout, "It's not possible! The logistics troops are now unable to deliver the winter war equipment needed by the front-line army in time!"

"Damn..." Dominic groaned in pain, "When will you be able to deliver enough winter equipment for the frontline army at the latest..."

"It will take a lot of time to stop the transport team that originally loaded the food and grass, unload the food and grass on it, and replace it with Winter War equipment..."

"And this winter is not only very early, but also very cold. The thickness of the snow on the ground is beyond our imagination, and the transportation speed is greatly reduced..."

"According to our expectations, it will be until mid-November that the Winter War equipment that is sufficient for the front-line army will be delivered to..."

"Mid November..." Dominic let out another painful moan.

After a long silence, Dominic said again:

"...Did you report this to Your Majesty?"

Since Vahiri decided to lead the army in person a few months ago, he has settled in the Muhavic Fortress, saying that the Avalon Fortress will not fall for a day, so he will not return to the imperial capital for a day.

After hearing Dominic's question, the expression on the face of the junta officer suddenly became exciting.

"... After General Dong came, the top military officer of Kiril Mozolov met His Majesty and explained to His Majesty the current predicament of the expeditionary army, and asked His Majesty to order the withdrawal of his troops."

"What did your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty... asks us to show our perseverance... He said that we are the people of the 'superpower' and the most resilient nation on the mainland. It is not a matter of the coldest part..."

Bang!
Chapter completed!
