The eighth year of Gaia, April 26th.
Following Casillas's proposal, the Silver Hand initiated a six-nation summit.
Of these six people, in addition to King William of Gondor, King Casillas of Spain, King Henry of Gaul, King Caesar of Caesar, and King Pushkin of Romanov, the remaining was naturally King Jack of Freedom.
From this, it could be seen that the Dawson Dynasty had a transcendent position within the Silver Hand.
Jack and the others had already learned about the attack on Spain, so when Casillas called for a video conference, they quickly responded.
"Cassie, are you able to hold on? Do you need help from the organization?"
As Casillas's big backer, Jack was giving Casillas a way to step down as soon as he spoke.
This was Jack's charm.
"It's a bit difficult. I'm worried that once the Egyptian army breaks out of Spain, it will affect the main battlefield. "Casillas was not an idiot, and he did not mention the matter of withdrawal at first.
"It shouldn't be." It was Henry who spoke.
Because the Gaul Dynasty and the Spanish Dynasty were next to each other, the relationship between Henry and Casillas was very subtle. When Ouyang Shuo first sailed to the Mediterranean Sea, Henry also used the east wind of Great Xia to trap Spain once, allowing the Gaul Fleet to successfully break out and officially set foot in the Mediterranean Sea.
At one time, in order to solve the predicament of the dynasty, Henry also thought about whether to rely on Great Xia and join forces to divide Spain.
Fortunately, Henry was forbearing enough and did not implement it in the end.
"The Spanish army is said to have millions of soldiers. I believe that a mere 500,000 Egyptian army, coupled with the exhaustion of the expedition and the lack of logistical supplies, will definitely not be able to cause any trouble."
Henry did not hesitate to raise Spain's prestige in his words, because he was worried that Casillas would cheat and use the reason that the enemy was too strong to divert the disaster and let the Egyptian army into the territory of Gaul.
It could only be said that Henry thought a little too much.
Casillas was very proud, very much like the Spanish, but he was not so vicious. In contrast, Henry was a dog that did not bark, but when he bit someone, it really hurt.
"The Spanish army is not small, but the territory is wider, and troops have to be stationed everywhere, unlike some dynasties that only guard an acre of land." Casillas was not the type to admit defeat.
Henry listened, his face did not change, but his hands were clenched into fists. Being surpassed by a "nobody" like Casillas was the biggest scar in Henry's heart, and it was still bleeding.
He had schemed all his life, but he could not compare to Casillas.
Seeing this, Jack stepped forward to help. "Now is not the time to be impulsive. Spain was attacked, and the root cause is Great Xia. We must not be careless."
William nodded in agreement. "Let's discuss a solution. Great Xia is not easy to deal with."
William was very active in eliminating the hidden danger of the Germanic Dynasty, because this was related to the future strategic security of the Steel Dynasty.
If they won this battle, the Gangdor Dynasty could basically rest easy. For this, William did not hesitate to send nearly half of the Gangdor Dynasty's army to participate in the battle.
This was a very bold move.
After all, the future division of the Germanic Dynasty would still be dominated by the Romanov Dynasty, the Gaul Dynasty, and the Caesar Dynasty. It would be difficult for the Gangdor Dynasty to gain an advantage because it was across the sea from the European continent.
On this point, the inland dynasties of Europe had a tacit understanding that they would not allow the Gangdor Dynasty to get involved.
Jack said, "In South America, Dawson will join forces with the Brasilia Dynasty to exert pressure on the eastern border of the Indian Empire. Casey, if necessary, you can transfer some of your troops from Argentina back to the mainland. "
"This …"
Casillas was a little hesitant. This was not what he had imagined.
"Don't worry. The Argentine region will not be lost. If necessary, the Dawson Dynasty will personally send troops to defend the Argentine region for you. "Jack had to make a promise.
"And according to the intelligence, the Indian Empire's display of power this time is just to purchase a batch of firearms that Great Xia has eliminated. There is nothing to worry about at all." Although he said this, Jack was still very envious of Great Xia's arms trade.
Seeing that Jack had said this, Casillas naturally went along with the flow. "Okay. I will transfer 50,000 troops from Argentina back to the mainland to assist in the defense, but this is far from enough. "
"In addition to the mainland, the situation in the African territory is more tense. I am worried that with only 100,000 troops, it is impossible to stop the attack of Great Xia. Once Great Xia captures Morocco, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
Casillas was very smart. He followed Fernando's analysis and used it as a bargaining chip. Because he suddenly realized that this crisis, if handled well, might also be an opportunity.
This thought flashed in Casillas's mind.
Jack listened to Casillas's complaints and looked at Henry and Caesar. "Can the troops of Gaul and the Caesar Dynasty stationed in Africa assist in the defense?"
In West Africa, the Spanish Dynasty had the largest territory, followed by the Germanic Dynasty, then the Caesar Dynasty and the Gaul Dynasty. As for the Gangdor Dynasty, as mentioned previously, they returned in failure.
Needless to say, the Romanov Dynasty was too far away and had not set foot on the African continent at all.
"We will try our best!"
Henry and Caesar's faces were a little ugly. Obviously, they were unwilling to do such a thankless thing.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Henry said maliciously, "Although I can't help much in the African battlefield. But if the Spanish mainland needs it, I can send a support force, as long as Spain is responsible for logistics. "
"Thank you, but no need!"
Casillas was expressionless and directly refused.
Whether it was out of face or practical considerations, Casillas would never allow the Gaul Army to set foot on the Spanish territory.
Who knew what they were planning when they came.
"When it comes to logistics, there is one thing that the Gaul Dynasty can help with." Casillas quickly found an opportunity to counterattack, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Given that the Spanish mainland is in a war, there is no energy to take care of the front line. The logistical supply of the Spanish army needs to be solved by the Gaul Dynasty. "
According to the alliance agreement, each army had to be responsible for its own provisions.
For example, the provisions of the Gangdor Army were transported from the mainland to Gaul by sea, and then the Gaul people were responsible for transporting the provisions to the front line.
Otherwise, the Gaul Dynasty alone could not support the logistics of the army.
Just transporting provisions for the Gangdor Army and the Spanish army was already too much for the Gaul Dynasty. On this point, Henry had never complained and seemed to have a good view of the overall situation.
Now, seeing that Casillas actually took the opportunity to "shamelessly" ask the Gaul Dynasty to solve the food problem for the Spanish army, Henry's face turned green with anger.
Casillas was calm and said lightly, "If the Gaul Dynasty can't do it, then I have to withdraw the army from the front line. I can't let the army fight on an empty stomach."
"…"
The expressions of the others were stagnant. In the end, it was still Casillas who said the most embarrassing solution.
The Romanov King, Pushkin, who had been silent all this time, said with a gloomy face, "It's impossible for the Spanish army to withdraw. It might cause the good situation to go down the drain."
According to the rough location, the alliance could be divided into the Western Army, the Southern Army, and the Eastern Army.
The Western Army, which was the allied army of Spain, Gaul, and the Gangdor Dynasty, had a total of 750,000 troops, including 250,000 Spanish troops, 300,000 Gallic troops, and 200,000 Gangdor troops.
The Southern Army, which was the Caesar Army, could only support 400,000 troops because of the obstruction of the Alps and the difficulty in transporting provisions.
Even so, in view of the Great Xia's return to the Mediterranean Sea, which seriously threatened the safety of the Caesar Dynasty, Caesar was still prepared to withdraw some troops from the front line.
The Eastern Army, which was the Romanov Army, had a total of 500,000 troops. It was also the dynasty with the largest number of troops. Of course, if they won this battle, the Romanov Dynasty would also be the most generous reward.
The total strength of the alliance was 1.65 million.
And their enemy, the Germanic Dynasty, had a conventional army of 1.5 million before the war started. After the war started, they had been conscripting troops. It was expected that their strength would increase rapidly.
The combat power of both sides could be said to be evenly matched.
Under the premise that the Spanish army did not withdraw, the alliance would probably have to send more troops to the battlefield in the future to win this war of the century. In William's words, "We have to be prepared for a war that will destroy the country."
If the Spanish army were to withdraw at this time, the strength of both sides would be reversed. Moreover, the Germanic Dynasty was fighting in their own territory. At that time, it would be really hard to say who would fight who.
Therefore, Pushkin and the others would never allow the Spanish army to withdraw.
"Then, what do you think I should do?" Casillas suddenly became very calm. "The Spanish mainland is attacked on three sides. How can they still care about the front line?"
