While Lin Youde was maintaining harmony in the harem, Sissi was losing her temper with the Austro-Constitutional generals - she was almost always losing her temper these days.

"I can't believe you could come up with such a plan!"

"Isn't this a normal plan," the general sitting at the top said in a leisurely tone, "Throughout the modern history of mankind, the wars that have occurred between countries with Shenji, the battle plan is basically formulated around using ordinary troops and Zhanji to force the enemy to dispatch Shenji first, and our biggest advantage over Serbia now is that we have Zhanji troops, and Serbia's Zhanji troops are just empty shells." ”

"So you have to send the Zhan Ji troops to attack, completely forgetting that the other party's Shen Ji once easily annihilated an entire Zhan Ji detachment!"

In the face of Sissi's questioning, the admiral still looked like an old god, and replied calmly: "The other party's goddess has degenerated into a witch, and the characteristic of a witch is that she can't effectively control her strength, so she will burst out with amazing combat power when she fights, but this also means that she will enter a period of weakness after going berserk." At that time, it will be relatively simple and safe to win. ”

"I can't accept this plan!"

"Peace of mind, the credit for killing the witch at the end of the year will still belong to ......"

"Not that problem!" Sissi almost smashed the table with one palm, and obvious dents had already appeared on the expensive log tabletop, "You don't know how many people she killed last time!" Last time she only had makeshift rotten armor, but this time she has the standard Shenji armor provided by Russia! ”

"That's why we should use this tactic all the more," the admiral who had been refuting Sissi also stood up and stared at Sissi with an unyielding attitude, "In the face of that kind of monster, even if you have confidence, we can't risk letting you fight her directly." If you still want to wash your grandfather's foolish name, please obey the arrangement of the military department! ”

Sissi gritted her teeth and didn't speak for a long time, obviously the rational part of her heart had been convinced, but the emotional part still couldn't accept the result.

After a long silence, she tried to strike the last blow: "According to your plan, the people who participated in this battle, Zhan Ji and the usual troops will be sacrificed, they could have fought with me, and many people are likely to survive!" ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with a bigger sacrifice in exchange for a more secure victory." The general still did not give an inch, "For generals, ensuring victory is the first thing, followed by the survival rate of soldiers!" The best generals can bring their soldiers home after victory, and I don't think I'm good enough, so I can only use the tactics with the highest chance of victory! If you have any tactics that can really increase your chances of winning and keep your soldiers alive, Miss Conrad, be sure to bring them up! ”

Sissi's face was very stiff, and she held back for a long time without speaking.

The admiral took advantage of the victory to pursue: "There is another advantage to this tactic, Serbia has the Aegean coalition army behind it, and the coalition forces are now looking forward to us luring the witch to the northern front, so as to insert Serbia in the back." So as long as the witch appears on the northern front, we have actually already won the game, and no matter what happens to you and the witch in the future, the Aegean coalition will take Belgrade directly. ”

Sissi grimaced.

"So, you're trying to tell me that the sacrifices of those warriors were necessary and worthwhile?"

"That's right, I want to tell you that just as you are ready to shed your blood for the Empire, those warriors are ready to sacrifice themselves at any time."

Sissi stared at the admiral, then moved her gaze to sweep over everyone in the conference room, and said word by word: "But I have seen the soldiers on the front line, and they don't look like people who are in a hurry to die. ”

In the face of Sissi's words, the generals present looked at each other, and no one could answer.

At this moment, the door to the conference room suddenly opened, and the confidential officer entered the room with a telegram, saluted the admiral and Sisi respectively, and then reported loudly: "Serbia has sent a request for an armistice. ”

"What?" The Admiral and Sissi asked in unison.

"Serbia has sent a request for an armistice."

For a moment, the entire conference room was silent.

**

"Sacred Cow" Dragutin crossed his feet on the table, leisurely smoking his pipe. Although the tobacco leaves sent by the Russians were of that quality, they were much better than those produced in Serbia, which was in ruins.

On the wall in front of Dragutin hung a huge map, on which the new Kingdom of Greater Serbia had been painted directly in oil paint. The ugly color block is Dragutin's masterpiece, and anyone with artistic accomplishment will frown when they see this miserable **** map, but Dragutin thinks that this "picture scroll" is simply pleasing to the eye.

Dragutin was convinced that Austria-Hungary would accept an armistice.

The Serbs' offer was very tempting: the Serbian army would withdraw completely from Herzegovina and Croatia, leaving only the area around Sarajevo and south and east of the city that had been captured in the initial operation, and even a small half of Bosnia would be returned to Austria-Hungary.

This should be great news for the Empire.

Austria-Hungary could no longer afford a terrible war, in recent years they have been so poor that they can barely sustain the war army, at the beginning of the war Serbia was able to kill Sarajevo's army so smoothly, a large part of the reason is the poor combat readiness of this army.

If some of the Warrior Queens were to lose some of their Warrior Queens in the war with Serbia, even if the Divine Princesses could kill Dragutin's "little baby" unscathed, Austria-Hungary would be greatly damaged - Austria-Hungary, which had already incurred a lot of war debts for the sake of the war, would never be able to recover its Warrior Queens troops in the next ten years.

By that time, Austria-Hungary would be completely powerless to resist a full-scale invasion of Romania - Romanians, like the Serbs, were fully supported by the recovering Russian Empire. Unlike the Serbs, the Romanians had a fully equipped army of warriors.

So the Austro-Hungarian Empire would have accepted Dragutin's terms, as they could avoid the loss of their strength and free up their hands to defend themselves against the sharpening Romanians, who now had slightly fewer armies than the Romanians on the Romanian-Hungarian border.

And Serbia will also get a respite from this treaty, and will be able to free up its hands against the Aegean coalition forces.

This was the plan that Dragutin had drawn up before the war began, and no one but himself knew about it, until a week ago, when Serbian generals thought that their goal was to completely occupy Herzegovina and Croatia, and to flank Austria-Hungary with the Romanians.

As the saying goes, if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people.

Of course, after the ceasefire with Austria-Hungary, Dragutin still had a lot of trouble in front of him, and the Aegean coalition had the support of Britain and France behind him, as well as the leadership of Greece, a guy who wanted to return to the European stage all day long by relying on the god queen from Mount Olympus and Crete, is not an existence that Serbia can underestimate.

However, Dragutin already had a whole set of plans to deal with them, and for a set of plans, Unification and Death would be secretly prepared since the last war, and now it was time to review the effect of the preparations.

Dragutin looked at the ugly map of the territory of the Great Serbian Republic on the wall, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

Nothing could prevent the creation of Greater Serbia, the dream of restoration that the Serbs had been waiting for for six hundred years was finally coming true, and he, the "sacred cow" Dragutin? Dimitrivic will become a national hero who will lead the Serbs to realize this great dream, and his prestige will be with the Serbian nation.

Dragutin puffed out smoke rings leisurely, his face full of pride.

Speaking of which, the German adviser seems to be named Lin Youde, and Dragutin thought in the smoke that after the establishment of Greater Serbia, he must visit him and ask him how to make money out of thin air, as long as Serbia's economy can miraculously turn around and prosper like Germany, and it is not a dream for Greater Serbia to unify the entire Balkans in the future.

Thinking of this, Dragutin smiled, he hadn't smiled so heartily for a long time.

Sissi enters the rearmament center of her own magical armor, a movable compartment made up of three unfolded train cars.

The maintenance technician who was working next to the magic armor looked up and looked at Sissi with a strange expression.

"Miss?"

"How's the filling status of the Magic Lubricant?"

"It's perfect, it's ready to be dispatched at any time, what's the matter, the enemy Shenji has attacked?" The head technician looked up at the window of the wing, "Strange, if that's the case, it's too quiet outside." ”

"The silence was due to the fact that the enemy was not attacking, and in fact the generals were discussing whether to accept the armistice in Serbia."

"Isn't that a good thing?" The chief technician looked happy, "War is such a thing, whether you can fight it or not." ”

The chief technician had fought in the last war, in which he lost one of his sons, and the other, an older son, who also lost a hand and a foot, and had to rely on mechanical prosthetics to survive. To make matters worse, the surviving elder brother always thought that his younger brother was not dead, and used the family's ancestral armor as a stand-in for his younger brother, and talked to the armor while wiping the armor whenever he had time.

Sissi had seen that scene with her own eyes, and it was very sad.

The memories that had been used in her mind did not make Sissi forget her purpose.

"The Serbs are free to deal with the Aegean coalition," Sisi said to the chief technician, "and when they are relieved of their worries, they will definitely start a war with us again, and then we will no longer be able to finance the war by issuing national bonds!" Herzegovina and Bosnia are going to be in the hands of the Serbs, and maybe even Croatia! ”

"If that's the case, the generals will see through their intentions."

"They won't!" Sissi said categorically, "I can see that they, like my grandfather, are all stupid in their own headquarters, and will only rely on the experience summarized by their predecessors to command everything according to the script." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"Of course, it is to kill once and for all the capital of the Serbs to fan the flames in the Balkans."

"You're going to kill the witch?" The technicians were shocked, and several technicians who were listening to their conversation looked even more frightened, "This ......"

"Don't worry, I have a countermeasure, this witch seems to be the type who will slaughter indiscriminately after turning on the power of the force, and I will direct it to the Serbian army. In addition, although the witch is powerful, she can't control her abilities, so it shouldn't be a big problem if I just focus on defense. When she's exhausted her strength without restraint, I'll kill with one blow. ”

The technician touched his messy beard and finally nodded, "Well, I don't have much say in the battle between the gods. I have another question to figure out, how are you going to find that witch, miss? ”

Sissi walked over to the simple map hanging on the wall of the wing room and slapped it hard.

"The entire theater of operations is mountainous, and for the convenience of maneuvering, the maintenance facilities of the magic armor must be deployed along the railway, and I will fly along the railway. The other party is a newborn witch, her mind should still be in the stage of confusion, she will not think of hiding her traces, after she feels my fluctuations, she will definitely release the wave response, just like another wolf who heard the wolf howl in the wilderness. Also, it was a good night tonight, and I was able to fly low to avoid the Serbs' sight and complete the raid. ”

The technician looked at the map, then at Sissi.

Then he took off his glasses, took out his handkerchief and wiped it gently, and said as he wiped it: "Miss, in the last war, I watched a noble and kind girl like you fly to the battlefield again and again. Quite a few did not return in the end. Your clear eyes at this moment make me feel the same determination as theirs. Miss, you are already a full-fledged goddess-sama, and I respect your decision. ”

After speaking, the technician commander gave an order to his subordinates: "Immediately start executing the sortie inspection procedure, and get moving!" I've checked every spell for me! ”

Just when the technicians were busy, the old butler who had never left Sissi appeared in the wing.

Sissi glanced at the old man and said, "I'm still thinking that you should show up." Give up, I won't change my mind, I want to eradicate the source of war once and for all. ”

"Miss, I'm not going to stop you, I'm just here to deliver something to you." As he spoke, the old butler took out a short sword engraved with ornate ornaments from his arms, "This is the short sword that each generation of our family carries when they first fight, and it is said that it can bring martial luck and glory. ”

Sissi glanced at the short sword, took it from the old butler's hand with a solemn expression, and inserted it into the belt of her military uniform.

"Are you really not stopping me?" Still a little confused, she asked.

The old butler shook his head slightly.

"My duty is to see determined warriors go to battle, not to extinguish their passion for glory."

After speaking, the old man, who had always behaved like a gentleman, slowly straightened his slightly stiff back, and presented a standard military salute to Sissi with his head held high.

Sissi looked very touched, and after a moment she returned the salute to the old man, and then the power of the bloodline burst out of her body, resonating with the magic parts of the armor behind her.

The various parts of the magic armor decorated with the ornate double-headed eagle coat of arms lit up with a glowing blue light, and the half-kneeling iron man slowly stood up.
