"Although the war is full of accidental factors, this counterinsurgency war is inevitably a bit too dramatic, right?" Bai Feng, who handed over the information in his hand, smiled bitterly at the generals in front of him: "You guys circulate it and see the performance of the ninjas and spies we sent out." ”

The generals, who knew nothing about the Kirkwall camp and the situation of the rebels, became very curious about the information sent back by the spies after seeing Bai Feng's abnormal expression;

After Licinius, Luculus, Leonidas, and Vermy's had all finished reading it, Bai Feng, who had re-held the information in his hand, asked them with a strange face: "Generals, what do you think of this battle in Kirkwall's camp?"

"Governor, I do think that this deployment under the command of Naoki Yoshikawa has not only stabilized the situation of the rebels, but also brought us a new opportunity. Vimina, whose eyes were shining, said with a smile: "An excellent opportunity to split and annex the Luxi tribe!"

"With the strength of our Roman city, conquering a single Lucian tribe is a sure thing, okay?" In this regard, Licinius's attitude was: "Even if there are no rebels, we can still destroy Lucy's army first, and then annex their entire tribe!"

"Governor, I also think General Licinius has a point. Luculus, who was on the side, also echoed Licinius and said, "Isn't the Werther tribe, which was originally listed as the overlord tribe in the eastern region along with the Luxi tribe, just like that, conquered and annexed by our Roman city?"

Bai Feng didn't say anything about Licini and Luculus's thoughts, he just asked Vermina with a faint smile: "General Vermina, you also heard the words of General Licinius and Luculus, do you have any reason to support your opinion?"

"The words of the Governors, General Licinius and General Luculus, are not wrong. Vimyna said calmly: "With the comparison of the strength of our Roman city and the Luxi tribe, it is not very difficult for us to conquer and annex the Luxi tribe. ”

"What's more, we also have the experience of urbanizing other small and medium-sized tribes, the experience of conquering and annexing the Werther tribes, and the experience of vassalizing the Acenian kingdom, which is enough to help us quickly assimilate the people of the western tribe after conquering western Lu. ”

"But the crux of the matter is that we are not now attacking a tribe of the Luxi tribe, but we want to conquer the two major powers of the Luxi tribe and the Eastern Alliance at the same time, and these two forces together have a population of nearly four million, can we assimilate them?"

"What's more, whether it is the Luxi tribe or the Eastern Alliance, they are separated from our city by the Cangluo River, and transporting supplies across the Cangluo River will be slower and more costly, which will be a burden for us in Rome. ”

"Before the conquest of these two forces, the Cangluo River used to be our moat, allowing us to stop them on the north bank of the Cangluo River with only our navy, and after the conquest of these two forces, the Cangluo River will be an obstacle to our assimilation of the four million barbarian people on the north bank. ”

"Even if the Cangluo River hinders us, so what?" Licinius said domineeringly, "As long as our fleet still dominates the Cangluo River, our Roman city will be able to smoothly assimilate the four million barbarian people on the north bank, but it will only take a little longer." ”

"Yes, as long as we have enough time, it is indeed not difficult to assimilate the four million barbarian people on the northern shore. Viminina, who nodded again in agreement with Licinius's opinion, asked him rhetorically: "The question is, how long is this ample time?"

"Three years, five years, or ten years?" Victoria, who has always kept a low profile, was aggressive: "The blockade of the fleet has proved that the forces that secretly fund the Eastern Alliance are the orc empire;

"The development of our Roman city is indeed rapid, but there are also many places that we need to support, the four million people on the north coast, the Acenian Kingdom, the Yanhuang family of the Yamato Empire, and the eastern provinces of the Tianlong Empire, are our limited resources enough to support the development of so many places?"

In the face of Vimyna's questioning, Licinius and Luculus closed their mouths, and Leonida, who had not spoken, also glanced at Vimy's in surprise, as if he did not expect that the taciturn Vimy's had such a sharp side.

Seeing that Licinius and Luculus did not say a word, Bai Feng changed the topic and said: "Vipsani also reported to me before, with the current economic strength of our Roman city, it can only promote the urbanization process of no more than 2.5 million people on the north bank at most. ”

"This is still the limit of what the city of Rome can achieve under the premise that the kingdom of Essini is as self-sufficient as possible, the investment required by the eastern provinces is decreasing, and the power of the Yan and Huang families is further expanded, and the four million people on the north shore are beyond the capacity of our Roman city. ”

Bai Feng's seemingly impartial approach to the matter was in fact to provide evidence for Vimyna's statement, so Vimina reiterated his thoughts: "So, Governor, the presence of the rebels provides an opportunity for our city of Rome to divide the Luxi tribe. ”

"If we take advantage of the special position of the rebels in the southwestern part of the city of Luxi to support a new Luxi tribe, and then take this western Luxi tribe into our Roman city as a vassal force, then the pressure of our own assimilation in Rome will be greatly reduced. ”

"It would indeed be a good idea to re-establish a western Luxi tribe in southwestern Rwan, targeting the rebels. Bai Feng nodded in approval: "If Yamashita Yoki and Nishimura Jun cooperate with each other, they should be able to completely control this new Luxi tribe." ”

Bai Feng himself was in favor of supporting the rebels to establish the new Luxi tribe, but among the generals in the military tent, except for Vimina, who put forward this idea, the other three, including Leonidas, did not agree with this idea.

This is also a matter of course, because it is impossible for any idea to be approved by everyone, and in particular, the establishment of a new Luxi tribe with equally obvious advantages and disadvantages is extremely controversial, and it is normal for some people to disagree with it.

However, as the governor of the city of Rome, Bai Feng had already spoken his words of acquiescence to this idea, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would support the rebels to establish the new Luxi tribe, and this was the advantage of a dictator, who could always decide anything according to his own ideas.

After the plan to split the Luxi tribe was decided, how to support the rebels to establish the new Luxi tribe and make the Western Luxi tribe a vassal tribe of the Roman city became a natural vassal tribe of the Roman city, and it was obvious that the solution to this problem was not complicated.

With the current relationship between the rebels and the Luxi tribe, it is basically impossible for the existing Luxi tribe to achieve the unification of the north and the south; what Bai Feng needs to do is to send troops to the rebel camp at the appropriate time, form an alliance with the rebels as a strong reinforcement, and then help the rebels establish a new Luxi tribe.
