Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste

Chapter 457: Riot - Asymmetry



"Kafka, the Count of the Northern Territory has already dispatched Steam Knights to support the military operation in the New Continent colony. What should we do next?" During the Workers' Federation... no, now the Revolutionary Committee's representative meeting, a delegate was asking Kallen.

After Kallen announced the uprising, the original Workers' Federation was restructured into what is now the Revolutionary Committee.

However, although the name changed, the overall structure and composition of the members did not change much, except that Kallen's brother Kevin joined the organization with a group of like-minded officers and became one of the representatives.

In a sense, Kevin's joining was a good thing for Kallen.

Since returning from Chernobyl last time, Kallen has been very concerned with military matters, whether it was the original workers' militia or the current Revolutionary Army, she has always been very attentive to their training and formation.

With her immense prestige, so far, the area controlled by the Revolutionary Committee has occupied one-third of the New Continent colony.

Of course, this one-third is somewhat exaggerated, after all, doesn't the desert count as well?

And when Kallen's brother joined the Revolutionary Committee, it not only brought much-needed military strength to the Revolutionary Committee but also supported Kallen's control over it.

After all, Kevin is Kallen's brother, and perhaps in the future, they will have differing opinions or even part ways.

But now, with Kevin's support, Kallen has enough authority over both the Revolutionary Committee and the territories it controls.

Facing the delegate's inquiry, Kallen, still using an alias, thought for a moment and then looked at Kevin: "Mr. Kevin, have you comprehended all the contents of the booklet I gave you?"

"Currently, I've mastered all the contents of that booklet. If, Kafka, you mean for me to take on those Steam Knights, I can only try my best." Kevin didn't make any promises or boast that there would be no problems.

He just stated the fact, after all, he truly wasn't confident in confronting the Steam Knights.

Although Kallen's booklet explained how to win an asymmetrical war, Kevin also realized through battles between the Revolutionary Army and the forces of the New Continent that this booklet was incredibly valuable.

But even so, Kevin still felt uneasy, feeling somewhat anxious.

After all, they are Steam Knights.

"Is that so..." Although Kallen sensed Kevin's unease, she was already on the bowstring and had to release the arrow: "I understand your concerns, Mr. Kevin, but we have long lost the possibility of compromise and retreat!

So we must defeat them no matter who comes!

Moreover, as stated in that booklet, we don't need to confront the Steam Knights head-on, right?"

"No, Kafka, you've misunderstood. What I'm worried about isn't the difficulty of dealing with the Steam Knights!" Kevin looked at Kallen and shook his head: "Although the Steam Knights are formidable, they are not invincible.

What I'm truly concerned about is whether this indicates that the Count of the Northern Territory has noticed this and is intervening.

For us, provoking that Count is unwise. The power she holds and the destruction she can cause is extremely terrifying."

Kevin thought Kallen didn't understand, but how could Kallen, who once shared a tent with Perfikot, not understand all this?

On the contrary, precisely because Kallen understands and knows the extent of what Perfikot can achieve, she is so confident.

Even if she can't openly support the revolutionary cause, Perfikot is already a revolutionary, a comrade and ally, rather than an enemy to be eliminated and feared.

Even though Perfikot once said that she would suppress Kallen's uprising with all her might until they could defeat her.

Kallen knows that Perfikot's suppression will show no mercy, but she also understands that as long as she follows the plan discussed with Perfikot, the suppression by the Steam Knights won't be an issue for the Revolutionary Army.

"Thus, we need to defeat the Steam Knights and the Count behind them even more! Only then can we truly achieve revolutionary victory!" Kallen stood up, waving her arms to emphasize what Perfikot had told her: "I know the enemy's power is more than we can handle now, but before the great goal of revolutionary victory, all strong adversaries will eventually be defeated, and we will ultimately win, conquering all!"

These words, although inspiring, had little practical use, but one could not deny their significant effect on boosting morale.

At least, after Kallen's speech, many representatives who had been wavering before were now actively expressing their 'firm belief' to the Revolutionary Committee.

Kallen comforted the delegates and then made a strategic deployment.

Although Kevin far exceeds Kallen in professional military skills, with the knowledge passed down by Perfikot, Kallen can still qualify for the position of military Commander.

"This operation, we still need to use asymmetrical warfare as the main guiding principle to conduct asymmetrical warfare." Kallen explained her tactics to the representatives: "As long as we destroy the railways and cut off the logistics supply of the Steam Knights, these knights, who consume far more than ordinary soldiers, will be a feast delivered to our doorstep, waiting for us to drive them out of our home!"

"Destroying the railways? That's indeed a feasible approach." Kevin listened to Kallen's explanation, seriously considering if there were any shortcomings in her tactics.

Kallen's command is usually quite simple; she merely sets a big goal and some guidelines, leaving the rest to the Commanders to improvise on the spot.

The good thing about this is that it doesn't stifle the grassroots Commanders' independence and initiative. However, the downside is if the grassroots officers are not competent, their ability to improvise is very limited.

However, with Kevin, a professional soldier trained and educated as an officer, ensuring the Revolutionary Army's capabilities is still guaranteed.

Moreover, during this time, they have undergone many battles, and the troops have already been trained, so Kallen's style of command won't pose significant issues.
