Opposite Marion was a group of senior military officers.
One is the commander of the 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigade, and the other is the commander of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade. Behind them are some officers in the brigade.
Marion rubbed his brow and said, "How's the intelligence investigation going?"
"What is Yadun's base going to do now that he has so many troops under his command?"
A staff officer said: "Intelligence investigation is difficult because Blueprint has made great moves since Yadun replaced the head of defense."
"The previous officers have basically all been replaced, and after the resistance forces were wiped out, our information channels have basically been cut off."
"The only information we have now is that Blueprint's expansion of the army in Yadun is to support other battlefields."
Marion raised his head and looked at the staff officer as if he were a fool. He said, "Do you believe this? How can there be so many transport boats constantly flying to Yadun to support battles elsewhere?"
"These transport boats on the radar are almost permanently stationed in Yadun, and you told me they're supporting other places?"
The staff officer whispered, "That's exactly what we paid for."
"From their internal perspective, it's because of the remnants of Yadun's original army and previous factions that need to be replaced."
"These transport boats are bringing in the replacement troops for these mountain troops..."
Marion shook his head and said, "This information is unreliable!"
"There's definitely something wrong with the line that provided this information!"
The staff officer's face turned grim. He said, "This... I'll deal with this line when I get back..."
Marion raised his hand to stop her, saying, "That's not necessary. False intelligence has its uses. Just don't believe this line from now on."
"The question now is, how should we respond to the enemy's possible attack at any time?"
Marion asked, looking around.
Lawson, the commander of the Mechanized Brigade, asked, "The enemy has so many troops. Can we stop them with just our army?"
Marion said, "According to intelligence, most of the enemy are new recruits, so their combat effectiveness should not be very strong."
"But their numbers are several times greater than ours. It would be difficult to stop them."
Kirk, the commander of the 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigade, said, "Why don't we unite with Dewan Technology and the Gaswu Submersible Order now?"
"Just block the enemy's way down the mountain?"
"Our army is undoubtedly more elite. As long as we prevent them from entering our vast plains, their numerical advantage will be ineffective!"
After hearing this analysis, Marion did not rush to speak, but began to think.
He calculated the gains and losses and analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.
After a while, he nodded and said, "That's a good idea."
Marion clicked on the holographic map in front of him and carefully observed the suitable terrain.
He took out a baton and pointed at several locations on the map, which were the passages from the plateau to the plains below the mountain.
They are Lake Sislan, Yanaka Valley, Gapgu Valley, and Wabidal Valley.
These four locations are the main routes out of the mountainous plateau of Yadun and into the plains below.
Among them, the Gap Valley and the Wabidal Valley are the original ancient riverbeds, but they are now dry and the rivers melted from the snow-capped mountains on the plateau have been diverted.
Although trucks cannot pass through these two river valleys, infantry all-terrain vehicles, tracked vehicles, and infantry's two legs can pass through them and walk down to the high ground.
Next is the Yanaka Valley, where new rivers converge. The terrain here is flat. Although there is no road, it is the shortest way to go up and down the mountain from the plateau.
People have been walking here all year round. Although there are no highways, there are sandy roads. They are a bit difficult to walk on, but trucks can pass through.
Finally, there is Lake Sislan, the only place with a road from the plateau mountains to the plains below.
This was the road built when the Kingdom of Locke occupied Aden. It was mainly used to transport supplies to the garrison in Aden.
The construction of this road cost a lot of money, and the maintenance cost of the Yadun area was too high. Later, when the Locke Kingdom was fighting for the throne, the garrison in the Yadun area was abandoned.
Marion said, “If we want to keep the enemy on the plateau and mountainous areas, we need to establish a defense line in these four places to prevent the enemy’s troops from coming down the mountain.”
Lawson, the commander of the Mechanical Brigade, also stepped forward and said, "We definitely don't have enough troops to defend these four points. I'm afraid we'll need troops from the Gaswu Submersible Order and Dewan Technology as well!"
Marion sneered, "They must send troops. Not only do they have to send troops, they also have to bear the military expenses of our troops!"
After these words were spoken, none of the other officers in the meeting room felt anything was wrong.
Dewan Technology and Gasu Submersible Society are rich, but their military strength is average, while their Nodong Castle has strong military strength but not much money.
Marion continued to look at the four places where he could establish a defense line. After a long while, he said, "But how should we defend these four places to be the safest?"
"There is a highway at Lake Sislan. This is the place that needs the most defense. Otherwise, the enemy army will be able to march directly down the highway."
"The same goes for the Yanaka Valley. This place is very important for the enemy's logistics."
"As for the other two river valleys, the center of defense can be lowered a little."
In the conference room, Marion and other officers discussed in detail and came up with a preliminary defense plan.
Next, they quickly contacted the Gasu Order and the Dewan Technology army.
This plan was quickly approved. During this period, both the Gasu Submersible Order and Dewan Technology were very nervous.
It is really easy for the plateau to fight against the plains. Now the plateau's Yadun has more troops than them, which puts too much pressure on them.
Troops were mobilized and quickly headed to the selected defense line.
Finally, before Li Xin's attack arrived, they arrived at the area where the defense line was to be established and began to build defensive positions here.
The blocking positions on all sides were built almost at the same time, but the difficulty of construction was completely different.
Because there are highways and dirt roads in Lake Sislan and Yanaka Valley, construction materials and weapons supplies can be transported quickly, and defensive positions can be built the fastest.
There are no complete roads in the Gapgu Valley and the Wabidal Valley, making it difficult to transport materials.
Most of the defensive positions were built with the help of existing materials.
