Higg smiled: "Changing the status quo doesn't have to be changed militarily, and it doesn't have to be that we need to change, we can also push Arad to change!" ”

Guayada said: "Boy, if you have any good ideas, I will let you do it in the position of marshal!" ”

"Here we go again!" Scorley smiled, "Your marshal position is always used to let others sit, and I haven't seen anyone you give it to in twenty years!" General Higg, you go on! ”

"First, although Arad's forces are strong, they also occupy a large area, and with our Fifth Army Corps, Arad's attempt to unify the north will be difficult to realize for a while. In the past two years, he has suffered a big loss in the north, and he will definitely retaliate even more frantically to unify the north in one fell swoop! I want you generals to assure you that our Fifth Army will not let Arad succeed, and even if the Fifth Army cannot win, it will do its best to hold back Arad's forces in the north! Therefore, you will not be so tight in the south, you can make some moves and find an opportunity to break through the defense line along the river!

"Second, in addition to military changes, we can break down the opponent's defense line through espionage, assassination, co-optation, and bribery, as long as it can be beneficial to us and detrimental to Arad, no matter what he does, whether he is glorious or not, we can do it!

"Thirdly, in addition to our change, we must also urge Arad to change, and do everything possible to cause chaos in the sphere of influence to which Arad belongs, or divide them, or incite an uprising, or incite a rebellion!

"Liberation is not only a matter for the generals, but also for all the adults here, because it involves not only war, but also politics, diplomacy, strategy, and even economic means. I'm just talking in general terms, you adults have their own strengths, how to implement them, and you need to analyze and deal with specific things! I think that's why Your Majesty convened a military council for all the ministers of the court and the central government to attend. ”

This time, the bigwigs of the DPRK and the Chinese government and the bigwigs in the army finally exploded, and the three points mentioned by Higg included all the people, and everyone was involved, and the liberation was no longer just a military matter, nor was it a matter of lip service, but something to be discussed and implemented concretely. Higg only threw them such a big issue, and there was no specific way to operate it, but the people who could enter this conference room were undoubtedly smart people, rich, powerful and powerful, and they would naturally use their methods to work for the empire, and there was no need for Higg to think of specific ways for them.

Sclair said: "Since there is no military advantage over Arad, then in addition to the military route, other ways can also be taken, several ways at the same time, there will always be one that can reach the goal!" Dear masters, generals, the road to liberation is not smooth, it may still be a long way, and the road to liberation is not military or political alone, but is full of strength, courage, wisdom, and confidence. We can't stagnate, we can't be satisfied with the status quo, there are definitely difficulties, but even if we suffer temporary setbacks and failures, we must explore a real road to recovery! ”

"General Higg!" Krusov smiled and said to Higg, "You and I are both leading troops to fight, we won't talk about other ways, what way do you have to break the situation on the first military road?" ”

"General Higg!" Guayada was also anxious and uncomfortable, and said, "You must have thought of something, right?" ”

"I have the solution, and I've used it!" Higg said with a smile, "When Arad besieged the Kolenwa Department the year before last, our Fifth Army had just finished quelling the rebellion, the plain of the Haman River was flooded, and the Fifth Army had no logistical support. As a result, Simak and I sent 200,000 troops, from north to south, not only knocked out the nest of the fourth war zone, but also went around the Guanzhong Plain, and finally dispersed and evacuated, although the army outside also lost tens of thousands of people, but Arad's army suffered even more heavy losses, the loss of troops reached more than 200,000, the city was destroyed, the checkpoints were destroyed, and the entire rear of Arad was in chaos, and I even captured Havelan alive and routed his army of more than 100,000. On the way to retreat, the envoy of the Chin who captured Arad and the prince of the forest country, generals, do you have such courage? The reason why you don't do that is because you have a defense line along the river, so you don't have to take such risks! But being in the Jedi limits your imagination, and my Fifth Legion might not have done it if it hadn't been in the predicament at the time, but the result of this has shown us that this path can be tried!

"The current defense line along the river is ours defense, and Arad is attacking! It is not clear from which crossing Arad will attack us, so we have to defend the entire line along the river, which has pinned down most of our forces, and even greatly exceeds the number of troops that Arad has deployed to attack. Therefore, we have an advantage in the strength of the entire defense line along the river, and since this is the case, why should we defend it? Although Arad's forces are strong, they have always been the attackers, and on the Findel River, they are not so well guarded, because Arad knows that even if we cross the river, we will be wiped out by them! But is this really the case, and the past will be wiped out? You send 50,000 cavalry to the plains to see, how can they catch up with you? How do they block you? Does anyone dare to try that? No, because you weren't pushed to that extent like the Fifth Legion. Since there isn't, now that I've said it, which of your generals would dare to try to go around Arad's territory and come back? If there were five or ten such teams attacking the rear of Arad, would the pressure on your defense along the river still be so great? Even if the defenses along the river are broken through and one or two cities are lost, so what, your superiority in forces is not capable of driving them into the generals again?

"There is nothing wrong with defending along the river, and the generals are doing a good job, but passive defense can only boost Arad's morale. Only by changing passive defense to active defense can we have a chance and create an opportunity! ”

"Well said!" Higg was talking about it, and he suddenly noticed that Catherine didn't know when she had arrived in the conference hall, and not only Higg, but also no one present noticed.

"Your Majesty!" The audience stands and salutes!

Skylly immediately stepped aside and gave up his place to Catherine!

Catherine sat down slowly and said, "Sit down too!" ”

When everyone sat down, Catherine said: "The purpose of this king to convene this meeting was originally what this king wanted to say himself, but General Higg has already finished speaking for this king, and what he means is what this king means!" The king has the patience to continue the battle with Arad, but the king cannot tolerate such a confrontation and wait with no hope! General Higg, please keep talking! ”

Higg stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm done!" ”

"You still have an army hidden in the northeastern corner of Erathia, right?" Catherine asked, "Elves and battle dwarves are also supposed?" ”

Higg was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is aware of everything! Since Your Majesty mentioned this army, then I will not hide it anymore! Actually, this army is the result of my deal with Prince Benjamin of the Forest Country. The civil war in Alasia has developed to the present and has attracted a lot of attention from all over the world! Marshal Guayada should know that Arad has already leased twenty new capital warships from Shenlong Island, and they will soon be able to be formed, which means that Shenlong Island has begun to intervene in our civil war. Princess Nicole of the Alchemy Kingdom and Daniel of the Mizusawa Kingdom have also formed a new fleet in Fuxing City to resist the new fleet of Arad's Sixth Theater, which indicates that the Alchemy Kingdom has also begun to intervene in the civil war in Aracia. The prince of the forest also wants to use the civil war in Alasia to get his own benefits! ”

"What's your deal with the Forest Nation?" Catherine asked.

"Your Majesty, I am trading with Prince Benjamin, not the Forest Country, Prince Benjamin only represents himself!" "The deal is that he helps us fight for the Fifth Legion, and I help him fight for the crown prince!" ”

"It's as simple as that?" Catherine asked.

"Your Majesty, what is the need for me to hide?" Higg laughed, "Even if I agree to other conditions, that's my personal idea, if I use the interests of the country as a bargaining chip, does Prince Benjamin believe it?" Even if I really exchange the interests of the country and the civil war is over, what will I take to cash in? Will Your Majesty agree to me to honor it? My idea is that whoever is involved, as long as it is against Arad, I am welcome! I will try to win over all the forces that can defeat Arad, and this is also a way for us to have no choice! ”

After a pause, Higg continued, "You may also say that the revival fleet is my Higg's fleet!" That's right, the revival fleet was the first one I advocated to form, but the battleship belonged to the Alchemy Country, and even the flagship captain Nicole was also the princess of the Alchemy Country, and the Alchemy Kingdom fully supported this fleet for its own interests in Fuxing City, not only benefiting Fuxing City, but even the naval fleet of the Second Legion benefited, what reason do I have to refuse such a fleet to be stationed in Fuxing City? If there is any deal between me and the Alchemy Country, it is the huge business opportunities and powerful economic interests of my Fuxing City! What's so bad about the Empire? Renaissance City is not the territory of Aracia, and the strength of Renaissance City does not contribute to Ahasia? ”

Catherine smiled, and then said loudly: "Proposed purpose: Posthumously crown Marshal Michael as the Duke of Fuxing, the fief is in Fuxing City, and his son General Higg will be demoted to inherit the title, and the fief will remain unchanged!" ”

Higg immediately knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

"Congratulations, Lord Count!" Everyone stood up and congratulated Higg.

Catherine continued: "The Fifth Legion will not have the post of marshal for the time being, and the army will be fully represented by Count Higg for the time being!" ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Catherine stood up and said, "Everyone here, no matter who you are, whether you are a general or a prime minister, whoever occupies the city of Croatia first, or who takes the head of Arad first, this king will not be stingy, and he will be crowned a duke!" Okay, don't bother you with the meeting, you go ahead! ”
