"Yes, the Western Capital belongs to my territory, and it should be up to me to defend it.

And it is necessary to be prepared against other major powers, so the Konoha headquarters must maintain enough troops in order to deal with emergencies! Rope Tree looked at the reactions of the top Konoha officials, and naturally knew what they were thinking, so he continued to explain, "You may think that my plan is not novel enough.

However, the art of war clouds: all those who fight, with the right match, with the odd victory.

This means that at the beginning of the war, it is only necessary to stabilize the front in a safe way, and if the two sides are evenly matched, then to target the enemy's weaknesses and win by surprise.

With our current strength in Konoha, we can crush any country head-on, and if we blindly pursue surprise victory, we will leak flaws! Therefore, as long as you focus on concealment and do not miss any flaws, you will definitely be able to win. This is the most sure way to achieve victory! Of course, if the enemy shows a flaw, we can also win by surprise.

For example, this attack in Shayin has been foreseen by us in advance, and we can make arrangements in the Xilin area, take the first step to lure the enemy deep, and then cut off the opponent's rear road, close the door and fight the dog.

Of course, this is only a strategy at the tactical level, and it is still necessary to focus on stability in terms of strategy.

The situation in the ninja world is very chaotic right now, and as long as we can stabilize it, other countries will not attack rashly. ”

The sound strategy of the rope tree is not in line with the mind of the moderate faction led by the three generations of Hokage and the two advisors.

So after listening to the explanation of the rope tree, they praised it one after another.

"Rope tree is right, with the strength of our Konoha, the most important thing is to maintain stability! As long as you are undefeated, you are victorious! It seems that after so many years of training, the rope tree has matured a lot! "The third Hokage has a look on his face that has won my heart, and he is now completely relieved that Rope Tree will take over the Hokage's position.

"Whoever fights, with the right combination, with the odd victory! The key to victory in the war was explained in one sentence by Lord Rope Tree, which is really admirable! Menyan also said with an appreciative face.

Koharu is not far behind: "Lord Rope Tree is really the words of the old man to seek the country, and in Konoha's current situation, stability is the most correct choice!" ”

The high-level leaders present also spoke out in favor of seeing these three giants express their positions first.

But not everyone agreed with this plan, and Tuan Zang, who had always had a dark face, finally couldn't help but object: "I think this way of dealing with it is too passive!" If we can crush the Land of Wind, why wait for the other side to attack. Wouldn't it be better to hold up the sand and fall into chaos, take the initiative to attack the Land of Wind, and then occupy it? Rope Tree, you also said that the area of the Land of Wind is larger than that of the Land of Fire, and it is just this opportunity to cut off a potential threat, and you can also expand the territory and increase the strength of the Fire Country! ”

The members of the martial arts faction, hearing what Tuan Zang said, had a raging fire in their eyes. Now, among the five major powers, the Wind Country, which was originally the most barren, has become a country with potential no less than that of the Fire Country, and it is fully bordered by the Fire Country, which is the best offensive direction. Especially for Konoha who has mastered Mu Dun, you must know that the development of the Xilin District in the past few years has become the most wealthy area in the Fire Country, and if you occupy the Wind Country, how much benefit will it get?

The benefits are tempting, and even the moderates are beginning to be tempted.

But the rope tree shook his head without hesitation and vetoed: "This matter must not be!"

If we take the initiative to attack the Land of the Wind at this time, we will be convicted of assassinating the three generations of Wind Shadow. Konoha will inevitably lose his reputation for righteousness and be seen by the entire ninja world as a conspirator and aggressor who starts a war! When the time comes, not only will the four major enemies besiege us, but even small and medium-sized countries that have always remained neutral, and even our allies will be hostile to Konoha because of this! You must know that the country of haze, the country of iron, the country of soup, the country of ice and other small and medium-sized countries seem inconspicuous when separated, but once united, they can almost be comparable to a big country! Konoha's current strength can barely compete with the other four major powers, but once it becomes an enemy of the entire ninja world, then it will definitely be defeated!

This is just a shortcoming in the general sense, even in strategy, it has a huge flaw!

You must know that now the climate of the Wind Country has returned to normal, it is no longer limited by water sources as before, guerrilla tactics are more flexible, the previous tactics of using Skywalk Fortress to destroy towns one by one are no longer applicable, and Sand Ninja can march and hide at will in the wild environment, not to mention that Sand Hide has now formed his own air force, and it is not without the power to fight back!

Moreover, once we launch an attack on the Land of Wind, the contradictions within the Sand Hidden will immediately dissolve, and the entire Country of Wind Rectification will stubbornly resist the bottom.

When the time comes, the vast area of the Wind Country will become an endless nightmare for Konoha, not to mention four times the number of troops, even ten times the number of troops will not be able to conquer this country in a short period of time!

Once we have a disadvantage, other countries will definitely attack in groups, and it will be us who are in danger of destroying the country at that time! ”

A group of Konoha high-ranking people broke out in a cold sweat after hearing about Rope Tree's analysis, they were attracted by the huge interests of the Wind Country, but they didn't expect that the Wind Country that seemed to be much weaker than Konoha would cause such serious consequences.

Only Danzang retorted unwillingly: "Even if we don't take the initiative to attack, once the war starts, the Fire Country is likely to be besieged by all countries!" With our strength on par with Shikoku, even if we succeed in resisting the offensive, we will suffer heavy losses and will not be able to gain anything from it! And Shikoku can calmly withdraw his troops and prepare for the next siege. In the long run, the Fire Nation will only get weaker and weaker! So instead of passively waiting for death, it is better to take a risk, lose everything if you lose, but once you succeed, you can get everything! ”

Tuan Zang's words are very demagogic, although the moderate faction does not approve of this kind of gambling, but the radical martial arts faction is a little eager to try.

This war requires the entire Konoha to work together, so the rope tree must convince everyone thoroughly, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "Hehe...... I have to say that the military literacy of Lord Tuanzang is simply a mess!

First of all, it is impossible for the four major powers to work together to mobilize all their forces to attack Konoha together. They are not a country after all, they need to guard against each other, and they must leave a certain number of troops to protect their country! Otherwise, the front line is in the middle of a big war, but the rear of the hometown is suddenly occupied by the enemy, isn't it a big joke?

Therefore, the number of troops sent by each country is at most two-thirds of the total number of troops! Take Sha Yin, who has a 150,000 ninja army, for example, they can send a maximum of 100,000 troops to attack Xilin this time!

And we, Konoha, as the defending side, can mobilize all our troops, and we will definitely have an advantage in terms of troops!

Secondly, if we win on a certain front, we can negotiate war reparations, or even take advantage of the victory to obtain more benefits! Or wait until the situation is clear before concentrating forces on a target. This is the power of the victors! I don't think you will forget the dividends of the previous wars, right?

So as long as Konoha can defend against the attacks of various countries, it is natural that it can continue to eat away at countries through war. Wealth, land, and population are all our goals, and Konoha will only get stronger and stronger when the time comes, so why do you say weak?

Tuanzang-sama's gamble is completely to win 100% to fight for a result that is less than 1 in two, not a wise man's doing! ”

"You ......" Tuan Zang was said by the rope tree, but he was completely powerless to refute.

The other martial arts factions blushed with shame when they saw the embarrassment of their leaders, and their IQs were crushed again. The two are completely incomparable!

The other high-level officials looked at Tuan Zang with a look of contempt, thinking that this leader with you was indeed as rumored, and he liked to jump out and die.

"That's it!" At this time, the three generations of Hokage finally spoke: "This is the end of the debate!" The plan of the leader of the group was too reckless and full of loopholes. Or according to the plan of the rope tree. With him as the commander-in-chief of this war, he was responsible for the defensive battle in the west! What do you think?"

"Do as Hokage-sama orders!"

All the high-level leaders of Konoha accepted the order respectfully, and no one was dissatisfied.
