"It is worthy of being a southern country rich in watermelon! It tastes good! "

Su Cheng said with praise while eating the watermelon at hand.

In the "Spring Awakening" offensive not long ago, Iser not only successfully destroyed the northern defense system of the Lorraine Empire, but also collected a large number of Lorraine empire's baggage.

This large amount of baggage was originally hoarded by the Lorraine empire in the northern defense line for the "spring counterattack" against the British Empire.

Now, under the nearly victorious "Spring Awakening" offensive of the British Empire, not only did the plan of the "spring counterattack" of the Lorraine Empire completely fail, but nearly 70% of the luggage originally prepared for this plan were captured by Iser.

This huge amount of materials seized from the Lorraine empire was also one of the reasons why the British Empire dared to launch a new large-scale offensive immediately after the "Spring Awakening" offensive.

The large amount of baggage collected before also consumed more than half in the "Spring Awakening" offensive that lasted more than two months.

If the Lorraine Empire had not captured such a large amount of baggage, the britannian Empire would not dare to launch another large-scale offensive against the enemy in a short time.

Now, the 150000 troops carrying out the "summer wind" offensive eat, drink and use all the baggage captured by the Luolin empire.

If the Rowling people know that the britannians are eating their military food and beating them with their weapons, the Rowling people are afraid that they will not be forced to vomit blood.

In addition to some common materials such as medicine, weapons and military grain, there are also some "luxury goods" specially used to reward the army.

For example -- watermelon.

Although Su Cheng did not know the market price of watermelon in the southern territory of the British Empire and the Lorraine Empire, Su Cheng guessed that watermelon must be cheaper in the southern territory of the British Empire and the Lorraine empire.

After all, the southern territory of the Lorraine Empire and the Britannia Empire was rich in watermelon. When he came to the southern front from pandragon and passed through the southern territory of the Empire, Su Cheng saw a large area of watermelon fields.

Watermelon is a very expensive fruit in Pendragon.

Because the whole empire, only the southern territory is suitable for growing watermelon, and other places are not suitable for growing watermelon.

Therefore, all the watermelons sold in Pendragon were transported from the southern territory of the Empire.

This high freight and management fee makes the price of watermelon to an appalling level.

Pandragon's watermelon is expensive, and it's not very delicious.

Because the long journey from the southern territory of the Empire to pandragon took too long, the watermelon was not very fresh when it was transported to pandragon.

Therefore, the natural taste is not very good.

After discovering a large number of watermelons from the captured baggage of the Lorraine Empire, the people in charge of logistics decided to wave their hands after discussion! Send all these captured watermelons to the barracks of 150000 troops on the front line and let them eat watermelons to their heart's content!

Anyway, these watermelons are the enemy's, and they don't hurt at all.

Moreover, if these watermelons were not disposed of quickly, they would not be very fresh. Therefore, the people in charge of logistics management transported these massive watermelons to the barracks of the west, middle and East Third Route Army.

Therefore, Su Cheng doesn't know how the other two route armies are doing now. Anyway, Su Cheng knows that their East Route Army has had a good time eating watermelon these two days.

Su Cheng is also the first time he has eaten such sweet and delicious watermelon in this different world.

The 40000 soldiers of the East Route Army also had such a good time eating watermelon for the first time. Before eating a meal, everyone would be given enough watermelon to taste.

Thanks to these delicious watermelons, the morale of their East Route Army has improved a little.

After eating the last piece of watermelon in his hand, Su Cheng threw the leftover watermelon shell on the table, grabbed a towel and wiped his hand.

While wiping his hands, Su Cheng said to Willie, who was still standing in front of his desk:

"Well, Willie, don't stand in front of me. I've finished all my watermelon. You're still standing in front of me. Go out. Today, our East Road army can eat melons as well as these two days."

After hearing Su Cheng's words, Willie smiled bitterly and said to Su Cheng:

"Commander in chief, our East Route Army has indeed completed our strategic task, but have we really been camping here?"

The Lorraine Empire has been sending a large number of scouts and spies to investigate intelligence for a while.

While the Lorraine Empire sent a large number of people to investigate intelligence, the British Empire naturally sent a large number of people to investigate intelligence.

Not long ago, the British Army successfully detected the deployment of the 250000 troops of the Lorraine empire.

BAL de Lu, the coach of Luo Lin army, personally led the main force to deal with Albert's Middle Route Army.

Barr sent two troops to deal with the East Route Army and the West Route Army.

It was Denis de DuPont, the deputy commander of the Rowling army, who was responsible for dealing with Allen's West Route Army.

The one responsible for dealing with Su Cheng's East Route Army is a young general of Luo Lin army - Rocher de Sanchez.

Luo Linjun commander bar took how many people to deal with Albert, Luo Linjun deputy commander Denis took how many people to deal with Allen, all of which still have specific intelligence.

However, how many people did Luo Xie bring to deal with Su Cheng? We have found specific information.

This young general named Luo Xie brought 60000 troops to deal with Su Cheng's 40000 East Route Army.

When Su Cheng received this report a few days ago, he almost tilted his mouth with a smile.

Because before the "summer wind" offensive officially began, the strategic task of their East Road army had been completed!

The task of their East Route Army is just to feint and attract enough enemy troops.

Now, the task of their East Route Army has been completed. Their 40000 East Route Army has successfully dragged down 60000 enemy troops.

40000 delayed 60000, which is a pretty good achievement. Su Cheng is very satisfied with this achievement.

Now there are only 190000 people left to deal with the enemy of Albert and Allen, and the pressure is much less.

To be honest, even if Su Cheng ordered the whole army of the East Route Army to "take root in place" and kept still until the end of the "summer wind" offensive, the senior leaders of the British Empire would not say anything about Su Cheng.

Because the task they assigned Su Cheng was just to feint and drag down enough enemy troops.

Now, Su Cheng has completed this task, and the number of enemy troops he has dragged is enough. Therefore, even if Su Cheng holds still and doesn't shoot an arrow, the top leaders of the Empire won't say anything about him.

After hearing Willie's question, Su Cheng turned up his mouth slightly, and then said to Willie in a helpless tone:

"Willie, my good adjutant, although it's good for you to be full of fighting spirit and eager to fight, don't be rash."

"The reason why I let the whole army stand still and continue to eat watermelon is not because our East Road army has completed its task, so I want to be lazy."

"What is the most important thing to fight? Logistics and intelligence! "

"Our current supply line is very stable and we have enough supplies, so we don't have to worry about logistics."

"But what we lack most now is intelligence!"

"The only information we know now is that a young general named Rocher came against our East Route Army with 60000 people."

"Where are these 60000 people now? How did you deploy the defense line? What kind of person is this Rocher and what kind of combat style is he? We know nothing now. "

Speaking of this, Su Cheng's tone gradually became serious, and his expression gradually became dignified.

"Su Cheng pays most attention to intelligence and logistics when fighting. If I don't have enough intelligence, I won't fight rashly."

"So I'm not letting the whole army stand still for laziness. I'm waiting for more information from scouts and spies."

"In a few days, more intelligence will come from scouts and spies. I'm waiting for this time. After collecting more intelligence, I'll slowly think about the battle plan."

"So Willie, do you understand?"

After hearing Su Cheng's words, Willie's face showed an expression of enlightenment.

"I see! Coach! The coach is so farsighted! Compared with you, coach, I'm still too superficial! "

Seeing that Willie understood, Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction on his face, and then said:

"Well, if you understand, just go out. I have some private things to do. If there is any new information from scouts and spies, be sure to hand it to me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Also, when you go out, help me take away the garbage and this plate."

"Yes!"

Willie, who answered loudly and finished the military salute, took away the remaining watermelon shells and plates on Su Cheng's table with very sharp hands and feet, and then quickly left the coach camp.

Su Cheng is the only one left in such a big camp.

After watching Willie leave, Su Cheng showed a bitter smile on his face.

Then Su Cheng copied out a book and a large stack of paper from under the table.

On the cover of the book, there are four square Chinese characters - "Zizhi Tongjian".

After opening the book "Zizhi Tongjian", Su Cheng smoothed the large stack of paper and took out his pen and ink from one side.

Su Cheng also brought Zizhi Tongjian.

At present, in Su Cheng's mind, nothing is more important than the translation of Zizhi Tongjian.

Therefore, even if he was sent to participate in the "Xia Feng" offensive, Su Cheng still brought several Zizhi Tongjian and a large amount of paper and ink, and planned to continue to translate Zizhi Tongjian on the way to the army and in some scattered time in the army.

After dipping the goose feather pen in the ink, Su Cheng smiled while looking at the tip of the pen dripping ink.

Then Su Cheng said to himself in a voice that only he could hear:

"Sorry, Willie, what I said just now is actually a secondary reason."

"The main reason why I let the whole army stand still and continue to eat melons is actually - I want to be lazy."

"Now that there is no war to fight and nothing to do, it is most suitable for me to continue translating Zizhi Tongjian."

After saying that, Su Cheng kept the strange smile on his face and gently scraped the excessive ink on the nib off the mouth of the ink bottle.

Then he fell on the white paper and the book Zizhi Tongjian, and continued to translate Zizhi Tongjian.
