looked at Esonia, who was angry but still had a son.

He picked up the car that had been sitting in the corner, unmoving, and while looking for the next point, he held the chess pieces and gently tapped on the chessboard like a low table.

"I don't mean to deny you in the slightest. ”

If it was before, I would definitely taunt him mercilessly.

Robbie, who didn't know why he suddenly thought like this, pursed his lips and smiled.

"But you can see it only from the policy you have set and the end result. ”

"After all, you are just a general who leads troops to fight, and you can't become a marshal who leads the overall situation. ”

"Entrusting the fate of the country and oneself to you is probably the most failed decision Thatch has ever made, in his life. ”

"First of all, let me ask you what you think of the so-called victory in the war. ”

"Destroy the enemy's army and occupy the enemy's land. Esonia replied truthfully.

"Neither is it right, and it is not right," he said with a smile that was not as I expected, "Aesonia, you and I both come from a small country that is insignificant but war-torn, and both come from non-commissioned officers and low-ranking officers, so I thought you would have the same different views on the matter of war as I do. ”

"But that's not the case. ”

"Victory in a war is not a fixed concept, but depends on the specific situation, sometimes even a victory is a defeat, and sometimes even a crushing defeat is a victory. ”

"And what to do, how to judge, that is, what I used to be, and what you do now. ”

"What you're doing is incompetent in that respect. ”

"If you look at all this from the very beginning, as a purely military commander, what you have done is understandable and worthy of everyone's appreciation. ”

"But the mistake is that after your work has changed, you continue to go according to the original plan, and that's the fatal mistake you and Thatch have made. ”

"First of all, tell me, do you think from the bottom of your heart that the soldiers of the Koncadas Empire led by you can really defeat the other party's army?"

"I'm sure!" said Esonia in a rather firm tone, "if you don't believe it, you'll have lost to the other party from the beginning!"

"That's right, it's better to say that, but ......"

Hearing the unexpected answer, Robbie subconsciously grabbed his hair.

It's a habit he developed after retirement.

"But since you say that, it also means that in fact, you still think from the bottom of your heart that the army you lead is not an opponent of the enemy. ”

This time Esonia didn't refute, just took a silent sip of wine, and then he picked up his own picture on the chessboard.

"But also, even in the past, I didn't dare to assert that as long as I had an army, I would definitely be able to defeat China. ”

"After all, they're armies with the technology to do wonders. ”

"Of course, this miracle is naturally not praised," I don't know if it was to take care of the other person or something, Robbie added.

"Anyway, do you remember, that is, when the demon and beast tribes invaded, we joined forces with the Chinese army, now think about it, it may be the only time that we stand in a united front war. ”

But even that time, I clearly realized what a terrible thing that the army, that country, had.

"Remember that stereo? yes, yes, it's that boxy black box, and that thing is really fun. ”

Listening to his words, as if thinking of the original time, Esonia couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I really didn't expect that little thing that was inconspicuous anywhere could make such a loud noise. ”

After speaking, they thought of the appearance of the alliance of beasts and demons that were startled by the loud noise, thinking that they had been ambushed by the human army and people were on their backs, and the two of them couldn't help laughing.

However, although there is help from China, and the morale of the own side is surprisingly high due to the previous audio incident, in the final analysis, this is just a bluff tactic, and in the face of foreign armies that far surpass their own in strength and numbers, defeat is basically a foregone conclusion.

"But that's not a loss at all, right? ”

"Yes," said Esonia, who was in a better mood, with a smile on her face.

Although in the end, their own troops were completely broken by several onslaughts of enemy troops.

But the efforts they made not only erased Bai Liansheng's decision-making mistakes, but also bought enough time for the evacuation of civilians and supplies in the rear to the rear.

If you look at it this way, they really can't be regarded as losers at that time.

Esonia raised her glass, and as soon as she put it to her lips, she suddenly thought of something, and then added, "Besides, that thing seems to be their amusement." ”

"Yes, it was originally just a performance prop used to comfort the army, but we forcibly requisitioned it. ”

"yes, it's just a forcibly recruited prop......"

“……”

“……”

"I said," said Robbie, "that kind of army can't be won." ”

"Well, yes," said Esonia, nodding vigorously as she tilted her head and drank the wine from her glass.

Whether it is an army or supplies, even useless entertainment facilities can be transported to the battlefield so quickly, and an army with such mobility is definitely a monster on the battlefield.

"And they also have those strange weapons, not to mention ordinary people, even fighters and magicians are not necessarily their opponents. ”

"Such enemies, those pesky politicians probably never thought you would be able to defeat them. ”

Once again, Robbie picked up his own car, like a knight in heavy armor, with an unwavering straight line, straight out of the battle line, through the Chu River and Han realm, resolutely standing in the midst of the enemy.

"Although I don't like them either, of course, not because they are greedy for life and afraid of death, but because they are too smart. ”

Smart, even I, the god of war, who is known in the world, is hard to follow.

"In their eyes, of course, your victory or defeat is crucial, but that doesn't mean they necessarily need you to win the war. ”

"Let me ask you, when was the highest call for resistance within the Koncadas Empire?"

"At the time of the decisive battle of the Imperial City. Esonia replied calmly.

At that time, in the capital of Nuoda, not only the royal family and ministers in the city, but also the elderly, women and children were actively engaged in the preparation for war.

The sight of all the people being soldiers and united as one is definitely among the best in the unforgettable memories of Essonia's life.

"Then, when was the highest anti-war voice?"

"It's ......!"

"Did you find out? I said, why did I lose to you before? Looking at him with a sudden realization, Robbie sighed in disappointment.

The highest anti-war voices were not in the turmoil at the beginning of the war, nor at a time when the war was in decline and the entire Empire State Building was about to collapse.

Rather, at the moment of our most advantageous counteroffensive.

"Why?"

"Why? because that's the most profitable time!" continued Robbie, who was not only a chess game, but also had a dead mouth.

"Those politicians never expect you to win the other side, they just want you to win as much as possible, to put the other side in the upper hand as much as possible, so that they can get the political bargaining chips in the negotiations. ”

Therefore, when the war was at its worst, it was they who actively mobilized the masses to defend their homes and the country, because at that time it was time to lose all their cards and have to fight.

And when the war was in their own advantage, it was they who called for a national truce and peace by spreading the exaggerated number of their own losses.

Because he knew that this war, which would not end in the victory of the Koncadas Empire, there was no need to fight it.

After saying that, Robbie picked up his wine glass for the first time in a long time, and used the spicy liquor to relieve the dryness of his mouth.

"To put it bluntly, just accept it when you see it!"

"But such an old fox has made three fatal mistakes," Robbie said, with a sneering look on his face.

"First, they miscalculated the fighting enthusiasm of the masses. ”

"Second, they underestimated Thatch's trust in you. ”

"Thirdly, they overestimate your brain. ”

Discover that the people who have been played by them are out of their control, and find that the emperor who has always been suspicious of you has completely let down his guard against you.

When they find that everything has fallen out of the original vision, they still haven't given up.

For you have been appointed by Thatch to be the marshal of all things war.

After all, you are the man who has been called the god of war by the world, and they have every reason to believe that you will end this war when our side has the greatest advantage.

However.

"You have a view of the military and political power, but you still have a narrow view of this war, and as a result, you have single-handedly destroyed a huge and populous empire. ”

It's all your fault!

"You miscalculated the trend of the war, insisted on carrying out your war plan, arrogantly thought you knew the enemy well, and then pushed this mighty empire with centuries of history to death step by step. ”

"The saddest thing is that even a sinner like you is still sitting here in peace, enjoying the worship of the remnants of the Koncadas Empire!

"You have given them false hope. ”

"Shut up!"

There was a muffled thud, and Essonia's fist slammed into the board, and the four table legs that had been placed on the ground sank deep into the dirt.

"You, understand what!" he cried out, the anger in his heart undisguised.

"Oh~ How do you say this?" Facing the other party's rebuttal, Robbie not only did not get angry, but unexpectedly showed an interested expression on his face.

"When the counterattack was carried out, the battle damage was very high. A hint of bitterness appeared on Esonia's handsome face, and she said slowly.

Leaving aside the long-range combat magicians for the time being, not only were they used to charge into battle, but the fighters who opened the way for the follow-up troops were all severely injured without exception, and the troops composed of ordinary soldiers who followed up were even more damaged, almost annihilated.

"Some people had their arms cut off by the fragments of the bomb, and some were even shattered by enemy weapons. ”

Thinking back to the desperate sight he had witnessed while inspecting the battlefield, his voice suddenly lowered considerably.

That kind of counteroffensive will never make it possible to organize a second time.

Therefore, it is necessary to defeat and paralyze the enemy's army with one blow.

Otherwise, when the other party finds out that the Koncadas Empire, which is winning day by day, has actually become an empty shell with a façade, everything will be over.

Therefore, it is necessary to completely crush the enemy's army in one fell swoop!

Only in this way can we truly come to the negotiating table when we have an absolute advantage on the surface, but in fact there is no big difference in the strength of the two sides.

"Moreover, even if we have an absolute advantage, do you think that Chu Qing will really negotiate with us obediently?" said Esonia very firmly.

The opponent feels that he is not a guy who can sit down and consult with people calmly.

"Therefore, we must gather all our forces to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in the front, only by completely defeating the enemy's army and wearing down the enemy's will to fight, can we truly win this war, otherwise once the other side recovers, the enemy's counterattack will be carried out immediately, and there is absolutely no room for the slightest hesitation at this time, woo......!"

Before Essonia could finish speaking, Robbie, who was sitting across from him, stood up, grabbed his head with his hand, and shoved him into the stream.

Looking at Essonia, who was bubbling in the stream, Robbie pulled his head out of the water again and asked, "How's it going?"

"What the hell are you ......!"

Before the other could finish speaking, Robbie pushed his head into the water again, and this time it took more than a minute before he pulled him out again.

"Is it okay now?" Robbie asked repeatedly, letting go of his grip on his head.

Esonia didn't speak, just wiped the water from her face with her sleeve, but his anger was unreservedly revealed in his eyes.

"Long-winded, long-winded, long-winded, to put it bluntly, aren't you still excusing your own behavior?"

Robbie sat back down, took a sip of his glass, and said, "If someone could have pushed your head into the water, maybe it would have cleared your head a little more." ”

I always feel that what I just said seems to have been said in vain.

"As I have already emphasized, and you yourself have realized, victory is not just about the blind pursuit of defeating the enemy's army, right? ”

"......"

"Hear me out first," Robbie said, looking at him with some disappointment, "to put it bluntly, until now, you have put yourself in a fixed position, and stubbornly pursued an outcome that is completely impossible. ”

In the face of an invincible, or temporarily invincible enemy, the warrior will choose to avoid its edge, and the general will often order a strange path.

"And politicians will grovel in front of each other, and then use all means of flattery, respectfully ask the other party to make peace with themselves, understand?"

"And that's the kind of role you're playing. ”
