"Catch him out?"
Justice Julius was showing great courtesy to Queen Isabella. Hearing Lorraine's words suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of something, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and even stopped to continue to show courtesy to Queen Isabella.
He turned around and stared at Lorraine with bright eyes.
Both of them have always had a headache regarding General Hadou's actions.
Although under their instruction, the Almohad New Army retreated in large steps and gave up a lot of territory.
Faced with this huge temptation, General Hadou's allies all swarmed forward. They even fought with each other to seize the territory, and there were several fierce battles.
But that old fox Hadou remained unmoved at all. He just reduced his troops and strengthened his defense. He operated like an iron barrel.
And the most irritating thing is that the old guy also said that he would turn his Nemenis into another Stalingrad, uh... another Samarkand city, and he must let the Grand Duke be under his city.
A bump on the head will cause bleeding.
The angry Grand Duke often jumped to his feet and cursed in private: ***, don’t expose someone’s shortcomings when you curse~!
This old guy is really not a thing. If he talks about it, isn't he clearly poking people's lungs?
But even if he jumped and yelled, there was no better way. The old guy was just like hiding in a turtle shell and would not come out at all.
Even though the Grand Duke's canine teeth are sharp, he can't bite his tongue, so he can only feel bad about himself.
Regarding this matter, he had long hated it and his teeth were itching.
After listening to Lorraine's words, he vaguely thought of something and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Lorraine stretched out her hand and twisted her eyebrows, started thinking, and gestured while thinking: "This action planned by the Prime Minister and General Hassell has a high probability of success."
General Hassell felt a little shy, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and smiled quite reservedly. It was obvious that he was very proud of this battle plan.
"If the opponent is not Hadou." Lorraine shrugged and spread his hands.
Queen Isabella had a look of helplessness on her face. No matter who ran into an opponent like Hadou, they would be under a lot of pressure.
Lorraine took a few steps forward, pointed at the map with his hand, and said slowly: "Hadu is definitely not an idiot. You... well, he can naturally think of anything we can think of.
The strategic significance of Prisca Ferry was of great importance, and he would never be unprepared for it.
If... if Haddu sends tens of thousands of troops to detour from upstream or downstream while the New Army is fighting fiercely at Prisca Ferry, and launches an attack behind the New Army, do you think you can still win?"
General Hasél pondered for a moment, and then said: "We have considered this. I believe that with the troops we mobilized this time, we can capture the Priska Ferry before Hadou's reinforcements arrive.
As long as we capture the ferry, we will take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack across the board and block their retreat. The rebel army north of the Zamibia River will be dead."
Lorraine smiled slightly, with an enigmatic expression like that of a magician, and said: "What if Prisca Ferry cannot be captured for a long time?"
General Hassell said decisively: "This is impossible. We have tested the artillery. The rebels' hard drive in Prisca is just a fortification defense and cannot withstand the artillery bombardment at all."
Queen Isabella realized something and said: "Count, do you mean to deliberately delay the crossing of Prisca so that Hadou could take advantage of it and attract his troops to come for reinforcements?"
Lorraine bowed slightly gracefully. Queen Isabella was indeed an outstanding woman with beautiful appearance and wisdom.
With a "pop", Archduke Julius clapped his hands happily and said: "Isa is absolutely right. Encircling a point for reinforcements is the most common and best way."
Lorraine said leisurely: "This guy has been hiding in his lair and refuses to come out. So let's disguise ourselves as a bait, and it's a delicious bait to catch Hadou. This is deeper than us going deeper into his business."
It would be much easier to attack him in a territory that has been occupied for more than ten years."
"But..." Archduke Julius said worriedly: "In this plan, our troops attacking the enemy's reinforcements cannot get too close to Prisca Ferry, otherwise the enemy will be scared away.
This requires a lone force to go deep into the enemy-occupied area and drag Hadou for about ten days without reinforcements arriving. It is not easy!"
Queen Isabella looked at her two men and asked, "What do you think? Is the new army capable of doing it?"
General Hassell gave a wry smile and said: "I'm afraid that this cunning fish will swallow the bait and then slip away. It will be difficult to implement this plan with our current strength and strength~"
General Hassell said, shaking his head repeatedly.
He knew clearly in his heart what kind of character the current Almohad New Army was. With their ability, to carry out such an action to lure the enemy was basically like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Before the reinforcements could arrive and seize Hadou, they
He was wiped out by Hadou.
This is a very risky approach, and there are countless examples of failed battles in history. The enemy has been attracted, but the reinforcements are unable to arrive on the battlefield in time either due to enemy obstruction or other reasons.
In this case, the troops used to attract the enemy can only be eaten one by one.
Lorraine smiled at this time, showing his white teeth, and said: "General, with the capabilities of the new army, of course not~! To implement this kind of combat plan, we need elite troops who can hold on under the enemy's heavy siege. Maybe we need to
Quick-acting backup force.
My idea is that we mobilize the most elite part of the peacekeeping force, disguised as new troops, and go to attack Prisca Ferry. The other troops continue to conduct public exercises and slowly move southward during the exercise to create the illusion that our troops will not be around in the short term.
The illusion of action.
After Hadu took the bait, he quickly sent reinforcements south. My requirements are not high, as long as I can kill 30,000 Hadu elites, this battle will be considered a success~!"
The room was silent for a moment.
Of course, everyone knows that once this plan succeeds, the harvest will be huge. It can even be said that the South can be pacified in one battle.
But at the same time, this plan is also quite dangerous. If the troops performing the bait task fail, the whole army will be wiped out.
Grand Duke Julius thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said decisively: "Yes. This is a good opportunity. What is your opinion, Queen?"
Queen Isabella was a little confused. She really didn't know much about military affairs. After pondering for a moment, she asked: "How much military force do you plan to use?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "The pretense needs to be fake, so it must include part of the real new army. The Forbidden Army and the Templar Knights in the original plan must also be brought along. We will have four legions, and the new army will have more than 10,000 people.
.This is just right.”
Queen Isabella rested her chin on the table with her hand, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled brightly, looked at Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius, and chuckled: "I don't understand the war.
But you two are the most outstanding generals in the world, and I believe you are the most professional. Since you all think it is possible, of course we Almohads will fully support it."
This is the reason why Queen Isabella became the ruler of the empire, and it is also one of the advantages of all good politicians: First, recognize who the real professionals are.
Second, let the most professional people do those professional things.
There is an eternal truth in officialdom: the bigger the official, the more he knows.
But in fact, it is a rare thing for a person to be proficient in one line of work.
Those big leaders who really think they know everything and are experts in everything end up digging a hole and burying themselves.
In other aspects, it's easy to say that if you make a mistake, you can at most just say "pay tuition." However, when it comes to national affairs, economy, and especially military fields, haphazard command and casual intervention will cost people's lives.
The most typical example is Brother Hu Xiaoxi, who was flattered by others and didn't know how many bowls of food he had to eat. He thought he had grown two penises and became an omnipotent military genius, regardless of the opinions of previous generals.
Give random orders according to your own ideas.
By the way, if you are not on the front line, how can you possibly know how to fight the battle on the front line?
mbd~!
Back then, even Napoleon Napoleon was defeated by the Russian winter. He just didn't have a long memory and still didn't provide enough winter clothes for his younger brothers.
How can a pig like this, who only gets excited and ignores the safety of the soldiers on the front line, win the battle?
That's really unreasonable.
Even Leo knows that in actual operations and production, we need to rely on professional managers and technicians. His chairman only needs to look at the results and make rewards and punishments clear.
Queen Isabella's decision was undoubtedly a very smart one.
Lorraine nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, since everyone agrees, it's settled. Without further ado, let's discuss how to cooperate and implement it."
Although this matter is of great importance, as the action unfolds, countless soldiers will be stained with blood on the battlefield and left with blood. It can be said that 'one general succeeds, and ten thousand bones wither'.
However, the few people here are all in high positions and have long been accustomed to this kind of thing deciding the life and death of others with just a few words.
Now that they had decided to take action, Archduke Julius and Lorraine quickly finalized a rough plan with Queen Isabella.
As for the specific details, it is not something that the two bosses need to deal with personally. This is what the staff department does.
Lorraine also saw how neatly Queen Isabella acted.
"The last question." After the principle was decided, Queen Isabella said seriously: "Who will command the troops used as bait."
The person in charge of the overall situation is naturally the Grand Duke Julius, but the person who steps forward to act as a bait must be an experienced general who can fight tough battles and, more importantly, dares to risk his life.
General Hassel puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go~!"
Queen Isabella nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius.
Archduke Julius looked hesitant.
Lorraine shook her head, shrugged, and said, "I'd better go. I've spoiled all those brats in the peacekeeping force. They have eyes on the top of their heads, and General Hassell can't command them."
Among the peacekeeping forces, the Ruman Legion is a group of proud and powerful soldiers, and they look down on the new Almohad Army that is always turning in and out.
General Hassel does not have enough achievements to convince the Ruman Army. If he is the leader, the Ruman Army guys will definitely not listen to him.
When fighting an enemy twice as big as yourself, it is very dangerous to have poor command.
Grand Duke Julius didn't think much, nodded and said: "That's fine, this kind of task of luring the enemy requires quick wits, and Lorraine is more suitable."
Although Catherine was a little reluctant to leave, she did not raise any objection and just held Lorraine's hand tightly.
××××××××
While the peacekeepers and Queen Isabella were quickly preparing to attack Prisca Ferry, a storm also hit the city of Abdelwad.
Queen Isabella was not a passive defensive person.
Although she looks mature, luxurious, young and beautiful, the nickname 'The She-Wolf of the Neodos Family' is not for nothing. She is known for her decisiveness and ruthlessness.
The enemy plotted and planned trouble under her nose, and almost succeeded, which made Queen Isabella very angry.
This incident caused her to use up half a bottle of the top-quality perfume she had collected, and she felt that the stench from the refugees could not be washed away, which made her sick for several days.
After Queen Isabella calmed down, she immediately launched a counterattack.
The counterattack was swift, violent, and merciless. It had some characteristics of the Flying Eagle Group and the CIA, and the result also made those who opposed Queen Isabella fearful.
Her Majesty the Queen used the trump card of the "Knights of Concern for the Country".
The day after the riot at the palace gate, members of the Concerned Knights in the imperial city spontaneously took to the streets and organized a massive support action.
After a period of development, the organization of the Concerned Knights has grown a lot.
It includes residents of all walks of life in the city of Abdwad, from noble ladies to gentry and landowners, from street vendors, farmers and crew members, to a large number of street gangsters.
The early actions of the Concerned Knights were mainly small-scale fights, holding rallies to support the government, handing out leaflets in the neighborhoods, and doing some street speeches, etc., which was not a good atmosphere at all.
This is the first large-scale group action since its establishment.
Wearing uniform brown clothing, waving the flag of the Knights of Concern and the flag of the Almohad, they shouted slogans on the streets of Abdelwad and distributed leaflets door to door.
Even for those who do not welcome them, members of the Concerned Knights will forcefully break into their homes and ask them whether they love their country and whether they love Her Majesty the Queen.
Looking at a group of people around like wolves and tigers, and there is a huge crowd of members of the Knights of Concern for the Country outside the door, what else can I choose at this time?
He just nodded, nodded vigorously, and shouted "Long live Her Majesty the Queen" while nodding.
The Concerned Knights finally gathered in the large square in front of the palace. After a leader issued an inflammatory declaration, the excited Knights targeted those unpatriotic people.
As for who those unpatriotic people are, of course someone has designated a target for them.
Queen Isabella was suspicious of the people who planned and carried out the act of forcing the uterus, and she could not get rid of those people, but she did not get any evidence from them.
However, this kind of thing does not require evidence. In the opinion of a mature politician, those who are suspected will definitely commit a crime. If they didn't do it this time, they will do it next time.
Although this logic is a bit rogue, it seems to Lorraine that there is no problem.
For a ruler, anyone who opposes my strength should be eliminated, even if he has no such idea.
People with this strength will have this idea sooner or later.
Holding high the banner of "Support the Emperor and Destroy Ha", the Knights of Worry bravely rushed into the estates of several big nobles outside the city.
Although the guardians of the noble families were highly skilled in martial arts, they were neither swordsmen nor swordsmen. One of them could fight more than a dozen, but in front of the thousands-strong Knights of Concern for the Country, they were beaten without even a wave rising.
The crowd was overwhelmed.
They rushed into the manor and smashed it thoroughly. Anyone who dared to resist during the process would be immediately held down and beaten violently.
After the excited patriotic people robbed all their belongings, they even set several stables and woodsheds on fire. That night, in the city of Abdwad, several flashing fires could be seen outside the city.
After they left, the originally beautiful manor was in a mess. All the doors and windows of the house were smashed, and the interior furniture and decorations were either smashed into pieces or missing.
The originally luxurious and transparent glass all turned into fragments on the ground. Under the moonlight, it reflected a cold light.
Just like crystal, crystal clear.
Known historically as 'Kristallnacht'.
When everything calmed down, the soldiers in charge of security would belatedly arrive. After a hasty inquiry, they didn't even make a note, and just said, "Wait, I'll let you identify the person when they are caught."
.”
Then he turned around and walked away without even looking at the faces of these noble gentlemen who were already black with anger.
Usually, these big nobles are as powerful as 2,580,000 people. They don't even shake off the little soldiers like them. They call them here and there without saying anything. They don't even give them saliva when they come in because they think their glasses are dirty.
When they got the chance, the soldiers naturally retaliated harshly.
Some of the nobles whose estates were destroyed were angry and clamoring for an explanation.
Some people were horrified. They naturally knew what it was for. This time it was a group of thugs who came, so where will the next time be?
If these "emotional patriots" "accidentally" beat themselves to death next time, they would be able to reason again.
No matter what their attitude was, these nobles who opposed Queen Isabella, without exception, all chose to flee Abdelwad immediately and move their families hundreds of miles away.
They all knew in their hearts that this was a stern warning from Queen Isabella.
Not only in Abdelwad, but also in other important cities, branches of the Knights of Concern held similar solidarity activities.
In some cities where the nobles are powerful, the Knights of Concern even fight with the nobles' men to compete for actual control of the area.
When it comes to this kind of matter, the government claims to be neutral, but in fact it keeps trying to be biased.
For example, if the perpetrators of a fight, a member of the noble family, were imprisoned, they would be severely punished. If someone from the Knights of Worship was imprisoned, they would be released again.
The world has also seen the ferocity of the Concerned Knights and realized that this is the most powerful weapon to deal with the opposition.
Their fame spread all of a sudden, and they soon became famous internationally. They went beyond the Almohad Empire and spread to other countries on the mainland. Of course, their names also became diverse.
Such as the Patriotic Committee, Royal Support Team, Volunteer Service Team, Student Union, etc.
However, because of Lorraine's reminder, Prime Minister Russell severely banned such organizations in the Ruman Empire, and privately cursed Lorraine for looking for trouble.
While the city of Abdwad was being disturbed by the Concerned Knights, the peacekeeping force and Queen Isabella were secretly preparing for the expedition.
