Western Provincial Capital, Steam Fortress Agaresk, Headquarters Conference Room. Lieutenant General Nicholas flicked the report in his hand and said with a look of remorse: "I regret the two things I didn't do in the battle three years ago. ”

"One is that you didn't kill Kungun, and the other is that you didn't blow up the bridge."

"That's why we're so passive now, aren't we? Lieutenant General? ”

Lieutenant General Pavre said without being salty, and the meaning in his eyes was clearly written - don't pretend! Your responsibilities simply can't run!

At this moment, the generals of the West are sitting at the highest point of Agaresk for a meeting. The content of the meeting is the strategic direction ahead.

Judging by the other generals, it was assumed that the proposal of Lieutenant General Nicholas, who had single-handedly guided the victory three years earlier, would be the most effective. But Nicholas himself did not know what was being smoked, and the meeting kept emphasizing that he regretted two things he had not done, and that he did not say a word about Western strategic matters.

In this regard, the generals quickly agreed.

(If you say it, you can say it!) What the hell are you doing with a few rounds of! This was clearly expressed in the eyes of the generals.

But Nicholas didn't see it, and after hearing Lieutenant General Pavre's words, he said with a sad face: "That's right! It's all my fault! ”

The generals were helpless, Nicholas showed his attitude that he did not want to participate in the formulation of strategy, and they had no choice, although it was strange, but the central staff of the empire was already operating at full strength, and it was the same with him and without him.

"Since Nicholas doesn't want to say it, so be it." The commander-in-chief of the West, a veteran general in his sixties, said: "Whatever you think, let me tell you what you think. ”

"Yes!"

A lieutenant colonel from the Central Staff stood up and said, "This is the road map drawn up by the General Staff, please take a look." ”

A map passed from his hand, and every general looked at it. Finally, it was projected on a white cloth with a mirror magnifier.

"The General Staff, at the request of His Majesty the Emperor, drew up this plan of march, dividing the western army group into two parts, the first of which would start from the city of Axter, capture the border army of the Kingdom of Ryan and reach the Ambras defensive line."

"The second part starts from the city of Bokusel, and the offensive route is the same as above."

Overall, the plan developed by CENTCOM is in order. Relying on the empire's growing military strength, it fought on a second front, dividing the battlefield into two and attacking both capitals at the same time.

This is also related to the topography of the west, where the great river from the snow-capped mountains of the south starts from the city of Bokusel and divides the entire western region into two halves. Both Ryan and Zam share a border with the Empire, but there is only one bridge between the two countries...... Or a railroad on a bridge is more appropriate.

A simultaneous attack can effectively involve the forces of both countries, and if only one country is attacked and the other side is defended, the two countries will be able to increase their troops and support them by railroad and air.

Therefore, the advantage of attacking at the same time is that the empire can gain an advantage in both theaters by virtue of its superiority in strength.

"But it's taking too long, and most importantly – what about Ambrizet?"

One of the generals revealed the weakness of this plan - they were not at war with two countries, but with three countries! And the last one that does not border the empire is also the most difficult!

"Lieutenant General Manstein sent a newly trained mobile unit."

The lieutenant colonel's face was very strange when he said this, and his eyes when he looked at the generals present were faintly revealed...... Sympathize.

And the generals were also blue-faced, as if the troops in the mouth of the lieutenant colonel were not reinforcements but enemies.

"Regarding the reinforcements, there is also the plan of the General Staff, let it go for now." The commander-in-chief spoke, and his face was not very good.

"Can't we try what Nicholas did before? First, they amassed a large number of troops on the battlefield and fought a war of attrition with the enemy. After the kingdoms have completed the increase of troops among themselves, they are creating the illusion of attack with the army of the other way. Finally, an ambush was launched while the enemy was panicking............ Why do you think so about me? ”

The major general who opened his mouth saw that everyone's faces were wrong, and said in a loud voice. The generals did not reply to her words, but turned their heads to look at Nicholas in unison.

Seeing that he could not hide, Lieutenant General Nicholas spat out six words from his mouth: "The enemy is not stupid. ”

The implication is - save it, even if the enemy is not a saint seiya, this trick will not be used a second time.

In particular, Nicholas directly wiped out the two countries in this way, and it is uncertain whether the other party will not come back.

The female major general stopped talking.

"Does anyone have any new opinions?"

The commander-in-chief said, but no one answered him.

"If not, you can only listen to the Central Staff." The old man said faintly, "We will have to fight with Manstein's fanatical troops............

Even Nicholas was thrilled at this moment.

"Commander!"

A middle-aged general stood up from his chair in a hurry. He said, "I propose! Throw Agarex into battle! ”

His words seemed to ignite a hornet's nest, and the entire conference room exploded in an instant!

"Bang!"

A lieutenant general stood up with a slap on the table and asked, "Do you know what you're talking about!" Agarex is a symbol of the Empire's industrial might! It is also the provincial capital and the headquarters of the West! You actually said you were going to throw it into battle?! ”

The middle-aged general said without showing weakness: "But before that long list of titles, it is a fortress!" ”

Another major general said: "But is it feasible?" Agarex hasn't moved in thirty years, hasn't he? Is its powertrain still stable? ”

Lieutenant General Pavre said faintly: "At least it is more stable than Manstein's troops." ”

The scene fell silent for a moment, and it was clear that everyone had acquiesced to what he had said.

"The stakes are high for starting Agarex." The old man said, pausing for his scepter and continuing: "The most important thing is that I still have to write a report to His Majesty, so the proposal to activate Agarex is rejected. ”

The generals secretly rolled their eyes.

(That's a terrible excuse!) If you don't want to write a report, you can give it to the adjutant!! ）

In the end, the commander-in-chief of the West still set his sights on Nicholas.

"Nikolai, do you really have nothing to say?"

Lieutenant General Nicholas looked sad, and he said: "Xiaguan thinks that the current stalemate situation is caused by Xiaguan's mistakes, so Xiaguan really has nothing to say. ”

The commander-in-chief nodded and said, "I see." ”

He put his eyes back on the conference table and made a conclusion: "From now on, carry out the battle plan drawn up by the Central Staff!" Split Army Group West into two and attack Ryan and Zam Kingdoms at the same time! ”

The generals immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "Yes! Commander! ”

Now that the commander-in-chief has made a conclusion, these generals can only obey orders. But the thought of Manstein's mobile troops made these generals feel only a stomachache.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

The commander-in-chief called out to the generals who were about to adjourn and said, "While preparing for war, I have a special request. ”

The generals didn't speak, but the meaning in their eyes was undoubtedly - please speak.

"I ask you to prepare a special force."

The sixty-year-old general opened his eyes, and the light in them still shone sharply.

"There are only two missions for this special force - to assassinate General Ryan's Kungunn and blow up the bridge across the sea!"
