readx; Seeing the uninterested Li Tianhao lazily supporting his head with his hands and listening absentmindedly to Mueller's statement, Brooks had to decide to put himself in the position of presiding over the meeting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that what Lord Muller said is quite true," Brooks said aloud, "but I think that the so-called defeat can be explained in many ways. For example, if the attack fails to capture the intended target and retreats, it can be regarded as a defeat, or it can be turned into a successful retreat to avoid falling into the enemy's counterattack; Retreating from a disadvantageous position in an encounter is also a defeat, but if there is an effective counterattack against the pursuers, it can be called a draw; In addition, the line between a defeat and a crushing victory is blurred, especially for ordinary soldiers. ”

"Is Lord Brooks trying to deceive himself?" Senas unleashed words filled with poisonous needles.

Brooks was unmoved, and said lightly: "I don't mean that, I'm just answering the questions that Lord Mueller is worried about." Since we deliberately want to paralyze our opponents with defeat, we should try to do this with small offensive operations within a controllable range as much as possible, which will obviously be more able to control our losses and make it easier to achieve the intended goal. I know that none of you want to add defeat to your calendar, but unfortunately, none of you can escape this fate, and only by letting the enemy generals Shurya and Abrahe win all the senior generals of our army can completely blind Dikar II. ”

At this time, Jamo, the intelligence director who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "I think Master Brooks is right. Although he didn't have much experience in leading troops to fight, he understood a truth, that is, it was much more laborious to lead troops to fight a defeated battle that was difficult to distinguish between true and false than to win a battle. If you have enough confidence in your command ability, how about taking this mission as a challenge? See who can control the overall situation better, not only to deceive the opponent, but also to control the overall situation. ”

Yamo's words pierced Li Tianhao's eardrums like a needle, Li Tianhao was full of excitement, suddenly sat up straight, and said, "Yamo's words are interesting!" Let's make a bet and see who wins and loses, and whoever loses will punish him and Alam for practicing! ”

Brooks almost didn't have a crooked nose when he heard it, Li Tianhao behaved like a child when he was not in a state, and it was too child's fun for him to use this kind of military event to bet. But he couldn't say anything, after all, it was not easy for this master to get interested, so he decided to suppress Li Tianhao's idea: "His Royal Highness the Prince's proposal is very interesting, but Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't participate in this gambling contract." ”

"Why?" This was not asked by Li Tianhao alone, and Alam and Senas also made the same sound at the same time.

Brooks glared at the two of them and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince can't fight. All the generals of our army can be defeated by Shurya and Abrahe, but not His Royal Highness. Because His Royal Highness the Prince's personal expedition must be a large-scale movement, if the purpose of the battle is not achieved, no amount of disguise can really convince the soldiers, and we can all be defeated, but the prestige of His Royal Highness the Prince must not be tarnished. In addition, there is another reason that according to our post-war analysis of the war, we found that the two generals Shurya and Abrahe are indeed quite powerful, but their ability to deploy the formation and the linkage of various units in actual combat command are still not as good as Adlem's, and the flaws they expose may be ignored, but His Royal Highness the Prince's temperament will definitely not help but kill his weaknesses, resulting in the complete failure of our plan. ”

Brooks' words caused a burst of laughter among the crowd, because what he said was exactly what Li Tianhao was good at, and at the same time his weakness.

Li Tianhao looked unhappy: "You mean you want me to stay in the rear all the time and do nothing?" Then I might as well go to Ashtiton or Memphis to engage in economic construction! ”

Brooks smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, don't worry, there is actually one thing that Yamo and I haven't had time to tell you. According to intelligence, Pernonkar I of Paz had defeated Rudanel, subjugated Kebaldo, beheaded Songares, and Bihab had fled into Arubania in defeat. As a result, Dicar II and Penoncar I, who had allied with these forces to secure a secure rear, were in a very dangerous diplomatic relationship. If we can intervene before they are reconciled, then perhaps we can conclude some kind of contract with the Empire of Pass, if we can make the Empire of Paths neutral in the war between our two countries, and allow our fleet to enter the Bay of Pass."

Li Tianhao's eyes lit up: "Then you can give Dikar a hard kick from behind, and the entire Alubanian coastline will no longer be safe!" ”

"Exactly!" Brooks has always had a high opinion of Li Tianhao's strategic sensitivity, but what makes him even happier is that Li Tianhao at this moment finally showed the excitement of a strategist and got rid of the decline that has been held since the meeting: "If Your Royal Highness the Prince leads the Second and Third Fleets to attack all the way along the coastline of Arubania, then it will definitely make the entire Arubania fall into panic, and if you can completely block the shipping of Arubania, it will also kill an important economic source of Arubania, Combined with the raid and harassment operations launched by the First Fleet at sea on Upper Digger, Arubania will fall into a state of complete diplomatic isolation! Even if we lose to Arubania in the frontal battle, but we can be invincible in the rear, how can the morale of Palci suffer? This result only increased the martial arts of Shurya and Abrahe, but gave Palci a real advantage, which could not only achieve our goals, but also further weaken the national power of Arubania, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

Li Tianhao nodded again and again: "Well said!" The big question at the moment is who is going to be the diplomatic envoy to Pernecar in Paz and no, to negotiate with Basbahn. ”

Brooks smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to hesitate deliberately. Who in my country of Palchi could be better suited for this task than Lord Elda? ”

Li Tianhao also laughed when he heard this, in fact, the candidate in his heart was Elda. Elda is not only her most trusted brother-in-law, but also the Minister of the Admiralty of Palci, the de facto head of the Li family's merchant group that travels all year round, and he is also a native of Paz, so it is only fitting that he should act as an envoy. What's more, Elda hasn't been back to Paz since the last time she came to Palch to help her defeat Yaqui, and her sister must be looking forward to her husband's return. (To be continued.) )
