"The combat power of our army, and indeed the combat power of the next few years, will not be enough to deal with the threat from both the east and the west, so if the problem of Sindra is not properly handled, it will directly affect the situation of our war against Frank. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Babbasbarn said.

Penoncal stroked the mustache on his lips and muttered, "You are right, King Tragg is currently expanding his army, and he is obviously preparing to make a move. But on the northern border of Sindra, in addition to our country, it is Tubo, and the Tibetan mountains are dangerous, and there is not much strategic significance at all, and it is obvious that his target is also our country. It's just that the widow doesn't understand one thing, since Frank and Sindra are both in a state of readiness, why can't we preemptively eliminate an opponent first? ”

Wechen also considered it. But it's a pity, Your Majesty. Wechen thought that if we chose to deal with Sindra first, it would take more time than dealing with Frank. ”

"Is Sindra's problem so serious? The widow heard that Sindra's army could not be compared with my Paz's army. Pernoncar's expression was full of suspicion.

"Your Majesty's words are true," replied, "and Sindra is far inferior to our army in terms of combat effectiveness. But His Majesty overlooked an important fact, and that was the population of Sindra. Even without accurate figures, Wechen can be sure that Sindra's population is at least five to six times that of our country, and possibly even eight times that of our country, so the most terrifying thing about Sindra is not its combat power, but its ability to mobilize and recover. Wechen estimated that Sindra could mobilize at least half a million men if she tried, and that was not all of its strength, even if our army was strong, it would take at least tens of thousands of people to resist a huge army of this size. But the problem is that even if our army is victorious, even in a large-scale war of annihilation, Sindra can still replenish another 500,000 troops in a short time. On the other hand, this is not the case with our army, which will inevitably suffer casualties even if it can achieve continuous victories. The officers and men of our army are carefully selected and rigorously trained, and it is a waste to use the troops trained for such a long time to waste in a war of attrition like Sindra, which merely gathers the peasants, distributes weapons and hastily trains them, and then plunges them into the battlefield. Our army will inevitably be in a state of fatigue for a long time to fight against the superior number of enemy forces, and in the end, even if our army can break through the border of Sindra and penetrate into Sindra, where the climatic conditions are too harsh, the epidemic will become a much more terrible opponent than Sindra's army, and there is a vast space in the south of Sindra that can be used as a strategic buffer, and the further south our army fights, the more difficult it will be. That's why Wechen said it would be more difficult to defeat Sindra than Frank. ”

"Since Aiqing said so, presumably you should also have a way to deal with this unfavorable situation? The widow would love to hear about it. ”

Bai Basbahn bowed deeply and said, "It is this matter that Weichen hopes to obtain His Majesty's approval. ”

"Oh? What else does it need to be approved by? Let's hear it. ”

"Wechen would like to ask for the appointment of Acting Lord Dadaran of Batana to take full charge of the defense of Sindra, to give him the power to make decisions on the spot, and to allow him to recruit troops within Batana."

"What did you say?!" Penoncar's eyes widened as he looked at Baibasbarn: "To Dadaran?" He, isn't that the actual lord of Bataan? Isn't this tantamount to losing our ability to control the Bataana Territory? This is your fiefdom, are you going to give it to that Dadaran? ”

Babasbar bowed his head and replied, "Yes." If on the face of it, it is. But from a deeper analysis, Your Majesty will understand. First of all, this Dadaran was originally a Sindra man, and he had helped Trag to exterminate the Duke of Mifola, so he was the best candidate in terms of his familiarity with Sindra's geography and mountains, his understanding of both the military and political sides of Sindra, and his grasp of the advantages and disadvantages of our army. ”

"But what about this man's loyalty? Didn't Qing doubt his loyalty at all? He's a Sindra man, is he going to destroy his home country for the sake of the Paz Empire? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, as far as Wei Chen knows, Dadalan and the Sindra royal family have a grudge against the clan. If he made this identity public, it would only provoke a great revolt from the Sindra people. Therefore, the correct thing for Dadaran to do is to conceal his identity and lead the army as the Captain of Paswan and the acting lord of Bataana, then he must obey my Paz, and at worst he should wait until he has taken the whole of Sindra before revealing his identity, and then divide one side. But that will take years or even more than ten years, and what Your Majesty needs is a few years, and when we get rid of Frank, then Dadaran may not dare to act rashly even if he has this mind. ”

Purnonkar stared at Baibasbahn with his right hand against his right cheek, and said slowly: "As for the Bataana lord, you don't have to worry, because you are nominally a lord, and if he, the acting lord, tries to control the whole of Bataana, even if he wins over the main generals, your lords will not be willing to follow a Sindra guest general." Bataana will still be your fiefdom, right? ”

Bai Basbahn smiled slightly: "Your Majesty Shengming, but the first consideration of Weichen now is the safety of Pas, as for these matters of Weichen's fiefdom, it is natural that the national interests should be given priority." ”

Penoncal yawned and said, "Okay, you understand what you are saying." Since you already have a plan in mind, go ahead and do it. Paz is the widow's Paz and your Paz. The widow trusts your judgment and will support your approach, so let it go. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Basbahn fell to his knees again and saluted the king. Penoncal waved his hand and stood up and headed straight for the back hall.

Arriving in the Imperial Garden, Pennoncar's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he hurriedly waved his hand to the attendants who saw this scene to retreat - at this time he was troubled by the great ups and downs of his heart, and he could not keep his peace.

"It's all right, it's all right!" Penoncar clutched his heart and whispered to himself, "Nisinis, you are such a monster! But the widow still has to see if things will go the way you say they will go, and until the last minute, the widow will not be manipulated by your prophecy! ”
