The next day, another meeting is held between the politburo and the high-ranking commander who participated in the war.
"Congratulations again to everyone for the victory, however, Comrade Orgarkov has brought us another news, it is not the time for us to relax yet. Comrade Marshal, you may start speaking." Andropov simply congrats everyone and starts the meeting today.
"Thank you Comrade Secretary, I will start introducing our situation now to everyone." Orgarkov then stands up and to the front. Behind him, were two new 'world maps'.
"I will first start with what we have achieved in this war. During this war, we have successfully destroyed the orc's kingdom and occupied all of their land, which was our main objective. Additionally, we also gain control of the elf and dwarf kingdom, which are now too weak and require protection from us. However, this is where there is a series of problems came from."
Orgarkov then walk in front of the world map,
"This is our situation before."
He points at the first map and quickly points to the second.
"And this is our situation now."
"It is noticeable that from the east side of our country to the west side of the elf, it takes almost 30,000 km. Even if we travel from Moscow, there is still 20,000 km to reach the west side of the elf kingdom. This, was always the main problem of our country, although the large territory requires us to have a large depth, it also has a great impact on our ability to gather troops and supply."
"This is a huge threat to our national defence, especially in the Octa area, if it was attacked by the undead and Karak simultaneously, we may suffer due to the lack of supply. After the analysis from the General Staff, we believe that instead of building a traditional high-speed train, we might need something more advanced, the intercontinental train, and it should finished within one year."
This time, someone raised his question.
"I don't understand Comrade Marshal, why are we in a hurry to build this intercontinental train? Your points do not seem logical to me, why should we worry about the attack from the Karak and undead empire, we have seen their army, and they are weak in front of us."
Orgarkov sighs, continuous victory has already raised the mood of underestimating the enemy, history will tell what will be the results of having this mood.
"Here I will be telling you why because we are meeting an event that only happens once every 100 years. According to the king of the elves, Eldarion, there will be a chaos attack coming from the west, which is a chaos area on the map, and referring to their history, this attack will reach in one or two years. The attack will continue for at least a year, depending on the situation, sometimes it may go even longer, sometimes shorter."
"They will kill and destroy everything they see and meet, they will keep marching to the east, in the most desperate time, they even reach the coast of the orc's kingdom. And now, where the eastest is no longer the coast of the octa, but our motherland. Furthermore, Eldarion also tells us about the existence of the secret portal, where this portal is connected to North of Arkhangelsk, this explains how the elf prince appeared there."
Someone asks another question again.
"What does the chaos mean? Is it another type of undead assault? What is our plan?"
"I believe it is, similar, but on a larger scale. From the history of this land, usually, the orcs, elves, dwarves, and the three human kingdoms in the south will temporarily stop their hostile action and unite together against the chaos."
"The general staff has also come out with three plans for this upcoming attack. We have some different opinions on which one to choose, so we decided to give Comrade Andropov to decide. The first will be constructing the line in the elf and dwarf kingdom. The pros of this will be the battlefield will not be near the country, however, the cons are also huge, like I say, we will have difficulties in transferring personnel and supplies. No matter sending through from Octa or the portal, it is far less than enough."
"The second one will be constructing the lines in the octa. The pros for this plan are that Octa is full of mountains, plus the original tunnel that was built by the orcs, and millions of prisoners we have captured, and the fortifications can be built in a very short time. The cons are also obvious, we will have to abandon every territory on the west, and because of the existence of the secret portal, we might have a risk that the chaos will appear in the north of Arkhangelsk."
"The last one, which I will never choose, is to build the fortification just at the land of the plain, giving up all the territory west of it. This plan is easy to perform, regardless considering from which perspective. From the experience of assault on the land of plain, plain can let our superior fire show its full power. From logistics, close to our land. However, giving up the land that our soldiers liberate with their life, is a disgrace to our army and nation."
"It is up to you, Comrade Andropov." Orgarkov finished explaining, waiting for Andropov to respond.
Andropov looking at the map, lost in thought.
"I will give my answer later, I will need some time to consider." A moment later, he replied.
"Take it easy, you have some time. Your decision only decides where to become the battlefield, and should we build the intercontinental train, the building of fortification has already begun."
"Alright, I have finished about the chaos attack, does not need to worry about that much for now, as Comrade Ustinov will start talking about the latest breakthrough in our technology research. Comrades, according to the Central Scientific Research Institute No. 50, they have some significance on our space weapon! "
