Colonial empires in a world ruled by elves

Landing craft

On shore, Walmsley Chuck and Emperor Queralt looked proudly at the new boat approaching them.

“Because we know absolutely nothing about the conditions of the elven continent, we developed a boat capable of landing troops in any condition.

These metal boats are protected with a layer of armored steel to withstand any kind of attack from the elves.

We are planning to finish building about 1000 boats in order to have an effective landing on the elven coast.

While we look for a natural port to be able to dock the ships of the invited fleet.

Fortunately for us, the air force promised to send 6 air fortresses along with 2000 biplanes to guarantee the safety of the operation.

Not only that, but they are also going to drop 1000 paratroopers on the front lines to open a safe path for our amphibious forces.

According to preliminary reports from experts and a group of sociologists, we may suffer 500 to 1000 casualties on the beaches.

This is because the magic factor is too unstable and we cannot understand the full range it has or what it will have against our troops.

We were able to reduce that number as it was higher because we placed machine guns on the landing craft and also delivered battle mortars to the troops.

In this way, we will be guaranteed a suppression fire powerful enough to avoid suffering a defeat.

Either way, with the cannons of the boats and the air cannons of the zeppelins, we are sure that we will win any battle on the coast. “

Emperor Queralt turned his head and looked at Walmsley Chuck, who had a cigar in his mouth.

“What will be the approach of the soldiers when they arrive with the elven civilians on the coast, can I be sure it should be something peaceful?” “

Walmsley Chuck took out a smokestack and looked seriously at the emperor “It is quite difficult to answer your question, emperor, because everything will depend on the attitude of the locals.

If they start attacking our troops, they will be forced to treat them as enemies. Although the treaty of the elves has been signed, it only contemplates those who surrender.

For the combatants, there is no treaty, as we can be sure that they themselves will treat our prisoners like garbage.

Sometimes we have to be strong with what happens around us emperor, I know I would not want it that way, but we have no other option.

The day is coming when the barrier of God will disappear and then the elves will know of our existence.

We cannot be soft when the fate of our own safety depends on whether or not we can land on the elven continent.

Once we disembark, we will only have to learn where we are and where we have to go.

If we can end this war in just a year or two or even three, we can have a period for reconstruction but if magic is more powerful.

It will be a war for survival which we cannot lose or take a step back as once we are expelled from the elven continent.

The war will be finished against us.

But now that I think about it, I think you and the other two leaders met with the nations’ greatest physicists and scientists to discuss a possible weapon to end the war.

May I know about that project or is it something of the national security of humanity? “

Queralt stroked his chin and smiled as he looked at Minister Walmsley Chuck.

“I think you have the right to know because you are the next minister. Maybe as emperor I cannot intervene in the elections.

But I am sure that you are going to win by a wide margin the elections that will be held in three weeks.

But what is being investigated has to do with a weapon of mass destruction which arose because of a physical equation. The details will be known in the future.

But for the moment, you just have to know that it is an advanced study on the use of radioactive materials.

But talking about the landing craft, how many soldiers each can carry and how fast they can move. “

Walmsley Chuck smiled and bit his cigar “The boats have a capacity of 150 people, but not all will be infantry. At least half of those boats will carry vehicles, supplies and tanks.

To ensure that the invasion is a success, 50,000 elite Marines are expected, all armed with the newest submachine guns.

1,000 high-level snipers and 19,000 doctors, nurses, and technical and supply personnel.

150 tanks, 500 armored cars, 100 ambulances and 50 motorcycles for scouts.

Also on auxiliary ships, there will be nearly 10,000 military engineers arriving after the beaches are secured.

All of them will have the obligation to prepare special docks so that all heavy and troop-transport ships can disembark.

I like to say that the greatest military operation in the history of humanity ever made, even the fights of the eastern empires, will be small compared to our magnificent feat.

When the ports are built, 1,000,000 troops will reach the shores of the continent as a spearhead.

Later, thousands and millions of troops will be arriving to be able to have as much land as we can before the counterattack of the elves can arrive.

For a group like them where only elves can have rights, I think it won’t take long for them to organize an effective counterattack against us.

Experts estimate that it will be approximately 2 to 5 months before the real fighting begins.

At that moment, we will see if we can continue advancing at the same speed with which we began to conquer.

Also, the most important of all the soldiers will be to find a map of the elven continent. If we can do it, the war will be almost won.

Well, we could open fronts in different areas of the elven continent to prevent them from making an effective counterattack against us.

Thinking all this excites me but terrifies me very much because losing means that we could not achieve liberation of humanity.

This will be a war of freedom or death. “

Queralt sighed and looked towards the beach where a group of soldiers were getting off the landing craft.

“I’m sure we can win, but it will be a costly war for all of us.”
