Chapter 92: Revolutionary Defense War - Prelude (1)
The revolutionary army, having set out from the capital Lumiere, marched towards Alsace-Lorraine, the border region with the Germania Empire.
In the last war, this area served as a base for both the royal and imperial armies, which we attacked, but this time we are defending it against the attacking empire.
After ordering the immediate construction of a defensive line upon arrival, I held a strategy meeting with the main commanders of the revolutionary army.
"How is the evacuation of the residents?"
We will lose the first battle.
Given our absolutely inferior situation, preventing it is difficult, and the loss of this frontline region is naturally a fait accompli.
Therefore, we decided to evacuate the residents of this area.
We will fortify the city for battle, but the presence of residents raises concerns about potential damage, and more importantly, residents remaining after our defeat and retreat will become targets for the enemy's supply requisition.
For the strategy I have established, such a situation must be minimized.
