Prince Sigmund finished the game on the blackboard, dropped the chalk head, patted the dust on his hands, and turned to observe the reaction of the two students.

Palatina folded her arms, her brow furrowed, still digesting the calculus on the blackboard. Roland also pretended to have a sad face, as if he couldn't understand it, but he was actually secretly shocked.

On Earth, the two formulas listed by Sigmund for calculating combat power are called "Lanchester's Law of Battle", and even he, a "novice" who does not know much about mathematics and military affairs, has heard of it, which shows that its value has been affirmed by the academic community. Prince Sigmund is not a time-traveler, only with his rich experience in military command for a long time, as well as his understanding of the historical data of war, coupled with a little bit of advanced mathematical knowledge obtained from temporary tutoring, he independently studied the "Lanchester Battle Equation", which caused Roland a shock, far more than his noble prince and marshal title and even the personal strength of the legendary realm, worthy of the "Imperial Military God"!

"Thank you, my lord, I finally understand these two equations." Palatina let out a sigh of relief, her eyes full of admiration, "Although these mathematical formulas do not take into account the actual situation on the battlefield, such as the impact of factors such as terrain, weather, morale, and the personal strength of high-level transcendent professionals on the battle, they still refine the general laws of warfare, and have high reference value for commanding operations. Roland, what do you think? ”

"Me?" Roland looked a little at a loss, "I'm really sorry, my math skills are very poor, and I don't fully understand the theory of His Excellency the Marshal......"

"Shut up!" Palatina raised her eyebrows, "You have that little bit of ghostly thoughts, and you want to hide it from others when you hide it from others?" There are no outsiders here, you tell me the truth obediently! ”

"I'm really not modest...... Roland saw that Palatina's face was getting more and more ugly, and he knew that he couldn't prevaricate, so he could only reluctantly say something, "Although I don't understand the calculation process of His Excellency Marshal, I believe that the conclusions reached are reasonable, so on this premise, it can play a guiding role in the construction of the army and even strategic planning, for example, a country's army is mainly elite, and there are not many of them, but the individual combat ability is very strong, according to the law summarized by His Excellency the Marshal, This unit should be equipped with ample long-range firepower, and try to avoid hand-to-hand combat with the enemy; On the contrary, if a country does not have the ability to build an elite army in a short period of time, and can only make up for the lack of quality with the number of soldiers, then based on the above law, this miscellaneous army should try to avoid artillery battles with the enemy, but seek close combat opportunities as much as possible, give full play to the numerical advantage, and avoid the weakness of low individual combat ability. ”

Finally, Roland added: "Of course, the above analysis does not include high-level transcendent professionals and legendary powerhouses, after all, the latter is not so much a human being as a strategic weapon in human form, but fortunately, there are few such people, and the main source of troops in war is still ordinary soldiers and low-level professionals—this is the necessary soil for the application of His Excellency Marshal's theory." ”

"It's all correct nonsense, it seems that your military talent is far inferior to that of the economy and domestic affairs." Palatine feigned disappointment, but was glad that she was at least better than Roland in military affairs, which comforted her pride.

"Correct nonsense? I don't think so, if Roland commands the Far Eastern militia against the elite of the empire under your command of Palatina, it's hard to say who will win or lose. Sigmund glanced at Roland meaningfully, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "I seem to be deliberately provoking this, well, friends can't argue with each other about these unfortunate topics of fighting and killing." Roland, your parents met and fell in love in this city and gave birth to you, and you were too young to remember much about this place, after more than 20 years, and now you are back to the place where you were born, we should have a drink and chat as a commemoration, and wish this trip to the Holy City can make up for your childhood shortcomings and leave a good memory. ”

Roland accompanied the marshal's family to dinner. To his surprise, the attitude of the marshal's wife changed dramatically, and she was particularly warm to him, flattered by the hospitality at the dinner table, and even more puzzling to him was the sincerity of the hostess's enthusiasm, which seemed to completely forget that he was a traitor from the Far East.

Not only was Roland surprised, but Palatina was also very surprised by the change in her mother's attitude, and after dinner, she whispered to her mother for a while, and finally found out the reason why her attitude towards Roland changed from cold to hot.

Early the next morning, Palatine told Roland what she had heard as a joke.

The marshal's wife endured quite a tortuous mental journey on this day. When I first saw Roland, I felt that my eyes lit up, and I made an excellent first impression, thinking that only such a handsome and handsome young man was worthy of her precious daughter; However, when she learned that Roland was from the Far East and was the only son of the self-proclaimed rebel leader Rudolph Kolas, her heart was suddenly cold, and she was deeply worried about her daughter's intimacy with Roland; Later, Palatina took Roland to see Marshal Sigmunt, and the marshal's wife stayed alone in the living room and was sullen, inadvertently remembering her homeland Baoshihua, who was originally centralized like an empire, and the king ruled all the territories and subjects in the country, and later the noble lords in various places established themselves and became de facto separatist forces, and the royal family of Baoshihua initially characterized these unruly local lords as "rebel groups" and conquered them. In the end, the other party had to recognize the autonomy of the other party, and the "rebel party" was transformed into a new king, and similar dramatic turns were repeated many times in the history of Bao Shihua in the past thousand years, so that this once powerful power worthy of the Assanian Empire now only maintains a nominal unity, and in fact is divided into dozens of states, each of which is referred to as "Your Majesty" and "Prince" in its correspondence.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that history and reality were surprisingly similar, and as long as the Far Easterners resisted the imperial offensive, the imperial authorities could only accept the reality and recognize the rebellious kingdom of Kolas as a legitimate regime.

If that day comes, Rudolf Kolas will take off the hat of the traitor and become the "Majesty of the King" equal to the Emperor of the Empire, and Roland, as the only son of Rudolf I, will also rightfully become the crown prince of that emerging power, and visit the Holy City again in the future, appear in the social arena, who will not see him and greet him respectfully "His Royal Highness"?
