Chapter 752: "Aurora" Offensive

Take advantage of your weakness to kill you.

This sentence is not only true on the battlefield, but also in other occasions such as business and politics.

In fact, as early as this spring, when Su Cheng learned that the Holy Hilan Empire had made unusual movements and went north to the Avalon Fortress, he began to conceive a general plan for the counterattack against the Holy Hilan Empire.

Not long ago, after learning that the Muhavitz Fortress had fallen and 300,000 Hilan troops were trapped in the Aighar Corridor, Su Cheng officially began to write a specific combat plan for the counterattack against the Holy Hilan Empire.

Now the 300,000 Hilan troops in the Aighar Corridor have been completely wiped out, which is a foregone conclusion.

As long as these 300,000 Hilan troops are wiped out, the Holy Hilan Empire will directly lose nearly one-third of its military strength, and the southwest defense line against the Britannia Empire will become as fragile as a piece of thin paper.

This will be the best time to counterattack the Holy Hilan Empire.

If this opportunity is missed, after the Holy Hilan Empire recovers, it will be unknown when it will take to wait for a decent opportunity.

Su Cheng didn't want to miss this precious opportunity to cripple the Holy Xilan Empire in one go.

Because according to Su Cheng's combat deployment, his Michael Knights will go deep into the hinterland of the Holy Xilan Empire and will have a great chance to see the beautiful scenery full of the Holy Xilan Empire's characteristics - the Aurora, so Su Cheng named this counterattack against the Holy Xilan Empire the "Aurora" offensive.

Every battle has its combat goal, and as long as the combat goal is achieved, it will be considered a victory in this battle.

The combat goal of the "Spring Awakening" offensive two years ago was to destroy and annex the northern defense line of the Luolin Empire.

The combat goal of the "Summer Breeze" offensive is to eliminate the living forces of the Luolin Empire to the greatest extent.

The combat goal of the "Aurora" offensive planned by Su Cheng this time is very simple.

To summarize it simply, there is one word: destruction.

It is not aimed at conquering cities and plundering land, nor is it aimed at killing the living forces of the Xilan Army. It is only aimed at destroying the national strength of the Holy Xilan Empire and shaking the foundation of the Holy Xilan Empire.

In this "Aurora" offensive, Su Cheng thought that only his Michael Knights would be able to participate.

According to Su Cheng's combat deployment, he planned to divide his Michael Knights into two groups.

One group was led by Willy and marched northward to attack the important city in the north of the Holy Hilan Empire, Otto City, with a total force of 40,000.

The other group was led by Su Cheng himself and marched northeast to attack the secondary capital of the Holy Hilan Empire, Ariel City, with a total force of 80,000.

The two armies captured all the cities along the way and looted the property of all the cities and villages along the way.

Needless to say, the property such as gold, silver, and jewelry.

Cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, and even farmers' farming tools should not be spared. Take them all and pack them back to the north.

Those that cannot be taken away will be destroyed directly.

At the same time, the citizens of the Holy Hilan Empire should not be killed if they can.

They should be turned into refugees.

They became refugees who caused headaches for the Holy Hilan Empire. If they were not handled properly, civil unrest and rebellion would break out.

In short, there was only one purpose - destruction.

Destruction aimed at destroying the national strength of the Holy Hilan Empire and shaking the foundation of the Holy Hilan Empire.

This "Aurora" offensive was not aimed at conquering cities and plundering land. After the two armies captured their respective target cities, they would be considered victorious in the battle. They could withdraw to the Muhavitz Fortress with all the spoils, leaving the Holy Hilan Empire to deal with the large tracts of land that had been ravaged into ruins by the Knights of Michael.

Plundering all the property along the way of the two armies and turning all the civilians along the way into refugees - the damage brought to the Holy Hilan Empire was many times greater than directly annexing its territory.

If the "Aurora" offensive was victorious, the Holy Hilan Empire might really fall into an abyss of no return, and it might take 100 years to recover.

It was even very likely that the country would be directly destroyed and the huge empire would be directly torn apart.

By then, the north of the Britannia Empire will have a long period of peace.

When Humphrey was looking through the "Aurora" offensive battle plan that Su Cheng had just stuffed into his arms, Su Cheng was constantly summarizing the key points of the offensive in simple language.

After quickly reading the battle plan and having a certain grasp of the general content of the "Aurora" offensive, Humphrey murmured:

"The 'Aurora' offensive... is indeed an offensive worth launching... If it wins, the Holy Hilan Empire will become as half-dead as the current Rollin Empire."

At this point, Humphrey suddenly paused.

Then he changed the subject:

"If we want to launch this offensive, we must get the approval of the central government, the support of the central government, and the central government must allocate a large amount of materials to support such a large-scale offensive."

"If we want to get the approval of the central government for this 'Aurora' offensive now, I'm afraid it will be very difficult..."

"Our country's treasury reserves are not unlimited."

"Our country has just finished a 'Northern Great Turn' campaign, which cost a lot of money, food and materials. We don't even have time to rest, and we are going to launch a large-scale foreign offensive again. I'm afraid our national strength can no longer support it..."

As soon as Humphrey finished speaking, Su Cheng smiled bitterly:

"Mr. Humphrey, I know what your noble officer just said. But for now, let's pass this battle plan to the central government. Should we bite the bullet again and launch a counterattack against the Holy Shiran Empire? Or Let it be decided by His Majesty and the ministers of the central government.”

The "Northern Great Turn" operation that just ended has consumed a lot of the empire's material reserves.

Having just finished such a large-scale battle, it is reasonable to take a while to recuperate. If we launch another large-scale external offensive, it is actually a very irrational behavior.

But Su Chengcheng really didn't want to miss this precious opportunity.

After all, this precious opportunity was missed, and if the Holy Hiran Empire was able to recover, it would be impossible to wait until a suitable opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Therefore, Su Cheng, with a "give it a try" mentality, encouraged Humphrey, who already had a positive attitude towards the "Aurora" offensive, to write a letter to clarify the pros and cons of the "Aurora" offensive, hoping that the central government could A joint letter supporting the offensive.

Looking at the joint letter between him and Su Cheng in front of him and the "Aurora" offensive operation plan placed next to the joint letter, Humphrey couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in a joking tone:

"Why do I always feel like this scene seems familiar?"

After all, Humphrey is the governor of the North, so naturally he won't have enough time to stay in Avalon Fortress for a long time.

After taking the joint letter from him and Su Cheng and the "Aurora" offensive operation book, Humphrey got on the carriage and prepared to return to Baidi City.

After returning to the Northern Territory General Administration in Baidi City, these two things will be sent to the center of Pendragon in the name of Su Cheng, the head of the Michael Knights, and Humphrey, the governor of the Northern Territory.
