Babasbar knelt respectfully on the ground, and in this world he would only and only need to kneel to one person, and that was his king, Penonkar I. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Originally, the entire government and military affairs of the Paz Empire were already in the hands of Baibasbahn alone, and Penoncar was almost completely ignorant of it, but today he had to give an answer to his king, because the Paz Empire was once again facing a crisis.

"So, does the Frank Kingdom intend to attack us?" Pennon Carr Road.

"I'm afraid it's certain, Your Majesty." Babasbar replied, "It's impossible to hide such a big movement in Frank's country. ”

Penoncar shook his head and said, "Are the people of Frank all idiots?" If they really want to attack us, shouldn't they hide the attempt, a surprise attack? ”

"Your Majesty, if this is true according to normal logic. But the Frank country is different, first of all, they launched a war in the name of jihad, so most of the people who participated in the war were fanatics, to be precise, they were almost like madmen, so this group of people didn't care if we were on guard at all, even if our country was impregnable, they would not hesitate to bump into it. Secondly, by its very nature, it is impossible to keep it secret. It is impossible for our country to divide into hundreds of small countries, from which they have to collect troops and food supplies and to concentrate them. ”

Penoncal rolled his eyes and calculated, "So does Qing mean that even if we already know about the Frank Nation's intentions, we can't stop their invasion?" ”

Bai Basbahn nodded: "Unfortunately, this is indeed the case. Although Frank did not have a unified army, his mobilization ability was very strong, and he roughly estimated that they could mobilize at least 300,000 troops. At present, the total strength of our country, which can be called a real army, is about 150,000, no, barely 180,000. The number of cavalry is too small, so it is difficult to launch the cavalry raid that our country is best at, and it is also difficult to take the initiative to thwart the enemy's strategic intentions. However, the national border between China and the Frank country is too long, and if we fortify everywhere, we will inevitably be weak everywhere, and if we focus on defense, the other side will inevitably avoid real attacks and break through our army's defense line, so strategically our country is in a very passive situation. Therefore, Wechen thought that an invasion by Frank would be inevitable. ”

"Isn't there anything that can be done?" Penoncar shouted, apparently dissatisfied with his answer to Basbarn.

Bai Basbahn paused for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, Weichen said that being invaded by the other party will be inevitable, but he didn't say that he can't defeat the enemy army." ”

"Does Qing mean that there is already a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Pennon Carlton turned his worries into joy.

Bai Basbar shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being bold, what Weichen thought of was not a strategy to retreat from the enemy. In the face of a madman country like Frank, there is no point in repelling him, because he will continue to attack, and our country will be dragged into the abyss of war by it. Therefore, Weichen wants to destroy his living force, exhaust all the available human resources of the Frank country, and if possible, our country should counterattack Frank and completely destroy him to prevent future troubles. ”

"What a big breath, Bai Basbarn, just now you were saying that our country could not stop their invasion, but now you are talking about destroying the Frank country. The widow really doesn't know which one to believe. ”

Bai Basbahn lowered his head and said, "It was Wei Chen who did not explain it, which caused His Majesty's misunderstanding. What we mean is that our country does not have the strength to stop Frank's invasion at present, but this does not mean that Frank cannot be brought down in the future. Wechen's countermeasures should be divided into three phases for our country against Frank, the first stage is the defensive period, during this period, our country should defend the most critical strategic points with limited troops, and at the same time withdraw the people, materials, and food in a large area of the western territory to the east, and burn all those that cannot be taken away, so as to make the Frankish army unable to obtain the necessary supplies after entering our territory, and at the same time constantly harass the supply lines of the other side with limited cavalry troops, so that the pace of their offensive is becoming slower and slower. Gain time for the next stage of our army's goals. The second stage is the period of counterattack, and taking advantage of the time gained in the first stage, our country must organize and train an army that can be used as soon as possible, and at the same time mobilize the resources and forces of the whole country to carry out a comprehensive counterattack against the Frank country, and strive to completely annihilate the enemy forces invading our country. The third stage is the offensive period, taking advantage of the gap in the loss of a large number of human resources in the Frank country to directly launch a counterattack on its territory, our army will conquer the Holy See, capture its chief priest as the strategic goal, so as to achieve the goal of holding this person hostage to control the Frank country, and never suffer in the future. ”

After hearing this, Pennoncal said thoughtfully: "What Yiqing said seems to be very reasonable, and the widow also believes that you can command this war well. But this is only one side of the Frank country, so how should Sindra deal with it? ”

This is exactly what Wechen wants to explain to His Majesty next. In order to accomplish the above-mentioned three strategic stages, China must also do a good job in several important tasks. First, we must immediately expand the scope of conscription, which would have slowed down the development of other aspects of the country, but which is now beyond consideration. After the conscription is completed, the necessary training is carried out, and during this period, it is necessary to be patient, and no matter how tight the war is, the troops who have not completed the training must not be wasted in the first stage too early. Second, we must build a strong alliance with Palci. This is relatively easy to do, because our country itself is already an alliance with Palci, and to put it bluntly, the purpose of Frank's holy war is ostensibly against Palci, and our country can use this name to negotiate with Palci, at least to ensure that we do not need to worry about Palci on the side when we fight against Frank. ”

Penoncar wondered: "The widow has a little bit of a puzzle, since Frank's goal will turn to Palch, and our country must be on the defensive at the beginning, then why not direct the war to Palci?" Wouldn't it be easier for our country to accomplish its strategic goals? ”

Bai Basbahn shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty's idea Wechen has also considered, but considering the personality of Prince Palcidils, Wechen has to give up this idea. You must know that Frank and Palch have also concluded an alliance, and with the character of Li Tianhao, the prince of Dils, being betrayed by his allies will inevitably cause him to be extremely angry, and he will inevitably go all out to deal with Frank at that time, which is a good thing for our country on the surface, but it is not. For once he had defeated Frank, he would have to retaliate, and he would have asked us to give him a way to attack from land, and in this way we would become subordinate between the three, which would be a great weakening of our prestige. If the Frank Kingdom could not be defeated by itself, how could the Paz Empire continue to dominate the world as a country controlling trade routes? ”

Penoncar nodded, "You have a point, but you don't seem to have mentioned Sindra's problems so far." ”

"Your Majesty, the first two conditions are only necessary conditions for defeating Frank, and this third article about Sindra is related to the overall strategic pattern of our Paz Empire."
