Yalina stood on the hillside, staring blankly at the waves of people that were passing by like a tide, without any expression on her face.

Below, the Aberdeen soldiers who had just retired from the front line, under the command of the commander, followed the team in an orderly manner, and slowly returned to the camp in the army.

Although this trip failed to get off to a successful start, Taranto's defense was defeated. But the faces of the fighters were only a little tired, the phalanx of the platoon was quite neat, and the morale did not suffer too much.

But so what, after all, it still didn't win.

Her Royal Highness the princess exuded a faint chill all over her body, and the whole person was filled with the smell of "don't approach the living", and what she thought in her heart was even colder.

In fact, it is a win or a loss, and what difference does it make!

Unless we can annihilate all the Taranto rebels gathered here, or eliminate the leader of the rebels, Kochis. Otherwise, even if General John could break through the obstacles and successfully lead the army back to Aberdeen, it would mean nothing to the royal family and the glorious empire.

As soon as the army moved, countless money and food were spent. Even with the deep pockets of the Grand Duke of Edwards, he could not afford to be indifferent to this huge expenditure.

In addition, this expedition is not just time-consuming, labor-intensive, and food-consuming. The loss of personnel in various troops, the huge loss of various precious military materials such as magic equipment, can make Grand Duke Edwards suffer for a while.

After that, the compensation and rehabilitation of the casualties, the reorganization of the army, the arrangement of personnel for vacant positions in the army, the production and procurement of armaments, and so on. This is a lot of things, and the Grand Duke of Edwards is not busy for a while, and it is impossible to deal with it at all.

By the time the Grand Duke had arranged all this and struck again, it was not known whether it would be months or years later. By that time, the daylilies were already cold.

This time, the Taranto rebels did not make too many preparations in a hurry, coupled with the sudden rebellion, and the hidden danger of internal instability was great. Even so, they withstood Aberdeen's counterinsurgency campaign.

If they are given enough time to stabilize the rear, and then concentrate their energy on military affairs. With Frankie's ability and wrist, what comes out is a completely different strong army than it is now.

What is even more terrifying is that after this futile and disgraceful counterinsurgency war, those forces who have other ideas or hesitant attitudes can see the powerlessness and decline of the imperial family. The consequences of a series of chain reactions triggered by this are even more unimaginable to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The glorious empire, which was originally stable and peaceful, suddenly became dangerous, as if it could collapse and collapse at any time.

If, in the first place......

Although everyone was trying to persuade her and comfort her, saying that the current war between the two countries had nothing to do with her, and that she was just an excuse for the Riga Empire to send troops.

Intellectually, she also thinks that Anthony's analysis and explanation are very reasonable, but she is still uneasy in her heart, and always feels that it is her responsibility. Especially whenever things are not going well, some thoughts and thoughts will involuntarily jump out, disturbing her thoughts and making her mind unable to calm down.

If he hadn't pursued freedom too much, cared too much about his own future and happiness, and closed his eyes and agreed to the courtship of the prince there, perhaps there would not have been this national war, and there would not have been the embarrassment of the glorious empire now.

Even if it can't completely eliminate this military disaster, at least it temporarily gags the mouth of the Riga Empire, so that they can't find an excuse to attack. And after he arrived in the Riga Empire, no matter what the cost, he had to try to postpone the outbreak of the war as much as possible, and then postpone it again.

With this buffer, the father will be able to better complete all preparations. Develop the economy, equip the army, recruit and train the army, and accumulate more chances of victory in the future big war between the two countries.

As for what her future will be like in this way, Her Royal Highness has no time to think about it. As an imperial princess, she was destined from the moment she was born, and while she enjoyed the glory and status that ordinary people could not hope for, she would also have to take on more responsibilities than ordinary people.

Even if you sacrifice your entire life for it.

Athena had already realized this.

Isn't it true of the princesses of history or other empires? Their marriage and even the meaning of their own existence were originally to consolidate and enhance the power position of the royal family, and they had nothing to complain about.

On the contrary, it is his willfulness in the past two years, which makes my father feel very headache and embarrassment!

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. I can't do anything but regret it in my heart.

The two armies of tens of thousands of people below fought, and the sound of shouting and killing soared into the sky, and the blood flowing from the soldiers stained the entire land red. But Princess Arina just looked blankly, as if she was in another world, and what happened in front of her had nothing to do with her.

Anthony looked at her in his eyes, and couldn't stop worrying in his heart.

No matter how much others try to persuade her, Arina stubbornly takes all the blame on herself. The difficult situation in front of her undoubtedly made her feel even more guilty.

This matter, since the persuasion of the mouth, did not work. The only way left is to solve all the problems in reality. Even if the matter is caused by Her Royal Highness the Princess, as long as the problem has been properly resolved in the end, the trouble will naturally no longer be a problem.

Easier said than done.

Regardless of the threats outside the border, just talking about this battle of counterinsurgency in Taranto, the famous Riga generals in the rebel army are already difficult to deal with, but there are also many problems in their own army.

The difference between the interests of the royal family and the province of Aberdeen, the difference in the ideas of the top brass of the army and the princess, the character and temper of General John, and the degree to which the soldiers at the bottom identify with the counterinsurgency war...... Wait a minute.

When there are more ideas, the power is dispersed. On the contrary, it is better for Taranto to make a desperate gamble, cut off other thoughts, and the whole army can concentrate on the same thing, and can give full play to 100 percent combat effectiveness.

From Anthony's point of view, the most difficult part of the problem is that of Aberdeen's manager, General John.

Frankie must have spent a lot of time studying General John, getting a clear picture of his character, character, and personality traits, and formulating a complete set of strategic plans.

It can be said that this is a set of plans specially tailored for General John. If it were a different person, Frankie would dare to play like this, and he would definitely lose and not even **.

But for the Aberdeen army under General John, this plan was extremely powerful.

Sharp, and unsolvable!

After peeking into the other party's purpose, Anthony has been thinking and meditating hard in the past few days, but he has never been able to find a way to break the dilemma.

Frankie can unscrupulously calculate General John, or hold or press, or pull or beat, as long as he can achieve the goal he wants, as effective and convenient as he wants.

But Anthony couldn't have been as careless as he was.

If he wants to influence General John's decision-making, he will "guide" him to the path he wants. In addition to the clever enough to make General John unconsciously "hit the plan", it is also necessary to consider the consequences and effects after this incident. In this way, Anthony is naturally tied and unable to perform.

Coupled with Frankie's early preparation, Cloth made up the game. Anthony was new to the battle, and he focused his main energy on observation and learning. By the time he sensed Frankie's conspiracy and analyzed that the key point of this battle was not on the battlefield, but focused on his own coach, he had lost the opportunity and could no longer recover.

But no matter how tough things are, Anthony has no reason to give up.

Even if the opponent's superiority cannot be shaken at the strategic level, it will be difficult to fundamentally reverse the situation. But on a tactical level, he still has to try hard.

At the very least, Frankie can't be allowed to live too smoothly and comfortably.

……

"Colleagues, tomorrow we will act according to the plan we just set!"

"It turns out that the so-called famous Riga players are only scary, and there is nothing to be afraid of in essence. We are more than capable of pulling him off the altar and knocking him to the ground. ”

"As long as everyone is not affected by its name and gives full play to our original strength, the so-called defense line of Taranto is a pile of floating sand and rotten wood, and it is completely impossible to resist our sharp soldiers."

General John has laid out the battle plan for tomorrow and is making his final concluding remarks.

In just a few words, the high morale and boundless fighting spirit of the generals were aroused. In the face of the flood of praise and praise, the general did not have a proud look on his face. The momentum is calm and handsome.

"The general is really powerful, we are still thinking and meditating, and when we have no clue, the general has already found the other party's life."

"Once it's luck, twice it's definitely strength. Don't be too modest, generals! ”

"That Frankie does have some ability, but it's a pity that there are more strong players in the strong. When he met the general, he could only drink helplessness again and again. ”

“……”

The beautiful words of the generals can lift people straight to the clouds, making people fluttering and unable to distinguish between southeast and northwest.

General John waved his hand gently, with a shallow smile on his face, and he was breezy and breezy.

He is reserved on the surface, but he is proud in his heart.

These days, in the continuous battles with Franky, the two sides have fought wits and courage, each with their own strange strategies, and they can be regarded as winning and losing each other. But in general, it was he who had the upper hand.

In particular, the victory in the battle of Tiemu Town is his proud work. It perfectly reflects his keen sense of smell on the battlefield and his heroic courage to make quick decisions.

He was pretty sure it wasn't a trick of the scheming French. Because if he had been a little more lucky, the counterinsurgency battle would have ended perfectly.

If this is a "plan", he doesn't mind hitting such a "plan" a few more times.

From the many encounters with Frankie, General John made an extremely important discovery in addition to the victory, confidence, and the admiration and admiration of his generals.

This discovery is what he cares about and is most proud of.

At the same time, it is also the origin and root cause of the battle plan that has just been laid down.

That is, he seems to have sensed some of Frankie's troop habits, and mastered the rules of arranging troops that Frankie himself may not have been aware of.

If General John's guess comes true, then the so-called famous generals of the mainland will become fish on his chopping board, to be cut and kneaded by him. And the next four levels have become dazzling feats waiting for him to receive.

Let tomorrow's battle help me do a verification!

General John was in a stirring mood and looking forward to it. I can't wait.
