Chapter 1458 Opposing Strategy
"Take an initiative? General Baumann, General Marceyu, you are talking lightly."
"Your strategy, to put it bluntly, is gambling."
"Betting our army can defeat the army of the Holy Hillan Empire!"
"If our army can defeat the army of the Holy Hillan Empire, then everything is easy to say!"
"But what if the army of the Holy Hillan Empire cannot be defeated?"
"What if not only can't defeat the army of the Holy Hillan Empire, but also lose a large amount of already valuable military power?"
"According to my guess, the Central Committee of the Holy Hillan Empire will send their most dazzling star, Marshal El Bernard, to be fully responsible for the war against our country."
"That means that the new force under Marshal El Bernard will be put into the war with us."
"We have very little intelligence for the new force under Marshal El Bernard."
"We don't know all about how they fight, how we should fight this new force."
"We only know that this new-style unit under El Bernard has strong combat power and has defeated the grassland people."
"In the absence of information about this new force, General Baumann, General Marceyu, tell me-how should we defeat Sheeran?"
As soon as Allen finished speaking, Rudolph von Baumann responded unwillingly:
"General Jones, isn't that strategy you proposed yourself betting?"
"Betting that we can rely on the city of Bellu to block the siege of Britannia and Sheeran."
"Can you guarantee that we will definitely defend Bellu when facing the siege of Britannian and Hiranian at the same time?"
"Hmph!" Allen snorted coldly, "Even if my strategy is a bet, it is much safer than yours!"
"Safe?" At this time, Erich responded, "You civilian! Don't say anything here! I can't see that your strategy is much more stable than ours!"
As soon as Erich finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth.
The reason why he quickly shut up was because he knew that he had said nothing just now.
Sure enough, after Erich finished what he had just said, Xia De's brows immediately frowned.
"General Marceu! Just like what he said just now, please don't say it again."
Xia De said with a serious look on his face.
"Alan is now a nobleman. He is no longer a civilian."
"…Yes." Erich nodded with a gloomy expression.
Looking at the three generals in front of him, Xia De sighed without a trace.
For the sake of harmony among the generals, Xia De was also very worried.
Xia De made Allen a nobleman a special exception. His move actually caused dissatisfaction among many nobles.
After all, the fact that civilians were enthroned as nobles - something that can be counted with one hand since the founding of the Frank Empire.
So--even though Alan is now a noble and has the word "Feng" in his name, there are still quite a lot of aristocrats who dislike Alan.
In the past, when Allen was a civilian, many people disliked Allen.
And now, these people saw that Alan, who became a nobleman, was even more disliked.
For example, Rudolph and Erich are two generals.
Although the two of them were full of discrimination against Allen in their tone and way of speaking.
In order to correct the discrimination against Allen by everyone, Xia De thought of many ways and tried to make a lot of efforts.
But all have little effect.
According to Xia De's estimate, if you want to correct everyone's discrimination against Allen... no, it should be said that it is - it should be impossible to correct the discrimination against the civilians by the nobles for decades.
After scolding Erich with a small voice, Shade transferred his attention to the discussion just now.
The strategy proposed by Allen was that both the Northern and Western Fronts adopted scorched earth combat, concentrating all troops and materials in the City of Bellu, and conducting a protracted battle with the coalition forces of the Britannian Empire and the Holy Helan Empire in the City of Bellu, dragging down the supply lines of the two countries and the two armies.
鲁道夫和埃里希提出的战略,是西线采用焦土作战,北线主动出击.与希兰军进行野外决战,击退希兰军后,再依靠坚固的柏卢城与布列颠尼雅军进行持久作战,拖垮布列颠尼雅军的补给.
Both strategies have their own reasonable basis.
But both strategies also have their own shortcomings.
Allen's strategy was unable to ensure that their Franks would be able to defend Belle under the siege of the two coalition forces.
If you can't defend Bolu, you will have no way to talk about long-term combat.
Rudolph and Erich's strategy was unable to guarantee that their Frank army would be able to repel Sheeran army in the field.
If they cannot repel the Sheeran army, they will retaliate against their Frank army themselves and make their already terrible situation worse.
Xia De was very confused.
It's really quite tangled.
I don't know which strategy to adopt.
Allen and others also knew that they were arguing there, and it was meaningless.
In the end, Xia De had to make a choice and make a decision himself.
They now all express their respective opinions and point out the shortcomings of the other party's opinions.
They had already done everything they should do, so they watched Xia De quietly.
Waiting for Xia De's decision.
Xia De, who had been thinking for a long time but still couldn't make up his mind, decided to think about it another day.
After sighing lightly, Xia De said:
"This matter...it's really hard to make an idea...let me think about it slowly later..."
Before Xia De finished speaking, Prime Minister Erwin, who was beside him, suddenly coughed softly.
"Your Majesty. Please make up your mind today."
Elvin said seriously.
"The current situation in our country is already in a state of danger."
"The future of the Britannian Empire and the Holy Heran Empire will come to attack!"
"So we need to finalize the plan to welcome the enemy as soon as possible! Make preparations as soon as possible!"
"This way you won't be wrong with the opportunity!"
"This will make our country's chances of winning as high as possible!"
After hearing Elvin's advice, Xia De was silent for a while.
"Oh...you're right..."
Then, he accepted Erwin's advice.
Xia De raised his eyes and looked at Alan.
Then, Rudolph and Erich are often.
After pondering for a long time, Xia De finally took a deep breath again and then slowly vomited it out.
“…Use the strategy of ‘scorched earth combat on the Western Front and proactively attacking on the Northern Front!”
After a fierce ideological struggle, Xia De's face no longer had hesitation or confusion.
Said this in a sonorous tone.
Hearing that His Majesty adopted their strategy, Rudolph and Erich both showed joy on their faces.
