"Hey, what's going on now?" True Red led a large group of senior players of the guild to me with an inexplicable look on his face, looking at the Russian players who were running away frantically in front of him and asked me.

"This ...... I don't know what the situation is, but I do know one thing for sure. ”

"What?"

"I was busy before!"

"Damn!"

I shrugged helplessly, then activated the communicator and connected to the war god's communication network. "Hey, god of war. I think we're playing big this time! ”

"I see it."

"What now?"

"Do you want to hear my advice or your staff's advice?"

"Talk about it all."

"My Jianyi is to immediately lead the whole army to start the pursuit, follow the Russians all the way to the past, not only can you recover the lost territory, but also kill the Russian mainland along the way."

"And what does our guild's staff say?"

"They said that the whole armament should make a posture of pursuit, but don't really catch up, and the rear should quietly strengthen the defense and prepare for a counterattack by the Russians."

After listening to the report of the god of war, I immediately fell into deep thought. It can be said that both methods have a certain degree of feasibility, after all, whether it is the god of war or the think tank of our guild, they are quite outstanding decision-makers, and the advice they give cannot be invalid, but it is precisely because their plans are very good, so I don't know who to listen to for a while.

Now the Russians are frightened by our strategic magic, in fact, it is only a temporary mental breakdown in the face of an invincible enemy, and it is not a rational decision made by the main forces of the Russian army after being hit hard. If we start to pursue them at once, according to the plan of the god of war, then because of our constant pressure and constant pursuit, the Russians will not be able to stop and reorganize their troops, and it will be difficult for them to recover from their state of collapse, and we will be able to drive them all the way back to Russia. However, while this method may seem like a good idea, it has its own problems.

First of all, if we launch a pursuit immediately, it means that we have to instantly switch from a defensive state to an offensive state, at present, except for our guild, other guilds do not have such an adjustment ability, so if we launch a pursuit, then only our Frost Rose Alliance can participate in the battle, and other guilds can basically not be counted on, at least for a short time. In addition, in addition to the troublesome problem of switching offensive and defensive states, the pursuit battle itself is also a gamble. Because the main force of our guild has not yet reached the battlefield at this time, and only some of the elites have arrived here. If we only launch a pursuit with such a small number of people, if the Russians have the ability to adjust their state in the middle of the movement and suddenly return to the horse, then we will face a catastrophe. After all, defense and offense are two concepts, and we have no problem defending at this point, but it may not be enough to attack. In the end, even if we launch a chase and succeed in starting to expel Russian players, what will we do when we get to Russia? The half-crossing plan was actually a large-scale annihilation plan, with the goal of depleting the Russians' living forces in order to severely damage the strength of the Russian players and prevent them from forming an effective defense in the subsequent counter-invasion of Russia. But if we start the pursuit now, it means that we can drive the Russians out of the country, but we can't use them down a lot, and when they have a defense bonus at home, it will be extremely difficult for us to capture those resource areas.

Of course, in addition to the plan of the god of war, the plan of the think tank is not perfect. The plan of the think tank is to create the illusion of pursuit, but not to really chase it. The Russians haven't suffered much damage right now, they're just scared, so if we can't press them back in time, they should quickly react and stop and regroup. The advantage of this is that it will allow the Russians to return to the frontal battlefield again, and then we can simply lure them forward and go back to our previous plan in a moment.

The advantages of the plan of the think tanks are obvious, and all the shortcomings in the plan formulated by the god of war are just the advantages in this plan. However, this plan also has its flaws. When the Russians retreat, we do not pursue, so what if they really run?

We are not Russians, we can predict their actions, but that's just predictions, the devil knows what they will really do. If they are less courageous, even if we don't chase them, they still run all the way back to China and stick to it, then our future plans will be all over, and the plans we have completed before will also be finished.

At the beginning, we were struggling with two-front warfare and formulated a plan to deal with Russia first and then solve it, in which in order to prolong the invasion time of the Russian army, we used the strategic decision of exchanging space for time. But the territories that were given up in this decision were not ours, but those of the Northern Alliance and some small guilds of the North. The premise that we had persuaded them to agree to this plan was that we had a plan to counterattack Russia, according to which the Northern Alliance and these small guilds would now sacrifice their own interests to free up time for our guilds throughout China, and then after attacking Russia and occupying the mines, their guilds who had sacrificed themselves would be compensated first. This compensation is the motivation for the Northern Alliance and the small guilds that have given up their own interests to do so.

But now the situation is different, in case the Russians run all the way back to the country to hold on, then what will we do? If we continue to fight, in the face of a large number of defensive forces, and counting the advantage of defending the territory, how much price will we have to pay to complete this invasion? At that time, the earned back may not be enough for war consumption, and what will be used to compensate for the losses of the Northern Alliance and those small guilds? Of course, if you don't fight, it's more problematic. While we can regain lost ground and return it to the Northern Alliance and the small guilds, what an exaggerated price to pay for the entire relocation? When they left, they left intact cities, but when they came back, they were a pile of rubble, who would pay for the loss? Of course, we can also be unreasonable and sue them who is responsible for their losses, you are unlucky if the city is lost, and who let you get close to the Russian border? However, although we do not have to pay for war losses, the alliance of guilds in China, which we have so finally reunified, will surely collapse completely, and at least the Northern Alliance will definitely not cooperate with us again in the future. Therefore, this plan is actually more risky than the one of the military gods.

Of course, the Russians may not all run all the way home, and even if we are more than 80% sure that they will return, we cannot afford to lose that 10% of the likelihood. Small things can be gambled, and it is the habit of the Japanese to dare to bet on major national affairs, and we Chinese pay attention to neutrality and peace, and stability is the first priority in everything. Pinning our hopes on the Russians, we can't make such a big gamble.

In fact, even if the Russians don't run away, even if they come back as we hoped, the plan behind will be very troublesome. Before, the Russians were tantamount to successive victories, and it can be said that it is very simple to tempt them to go south, after all, they were arrogant soldiers at that time, and it was easy to lure. But that's no longer the case. The psychological trauma of being beaten to the point of collapse must have made the Russian invasion legion more cautious and cautious in their way of fighting, and even when they came back I doubt that they would have the courage to rush through our guild's defensive area. What if they turn halfway to the areas where the small guilds are defending?

"God of War."

"Listen."

"Immediately give the order to prepare for the pursuit."

"And then? To chase or not to chase? ”

"Let's talk about it."

"Is that okay?"

"Hurry up."

"Right now."

After sending the military god away, I said, "Inform all the think tanks and the leaders of the main guilds to connect the communication, and we will have a conference call." ”

"It's already wired."

Soon, the main personnel of the guild and the members of the various think tanks were all connected to the communication line, and even the presidents of some major guilds were also drawn into the communication range.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ziri, and the current situation is like this." I quickly explained the situation on the battlefield and the possible crisis of the two decisions, and then asked, "What do you think we should do?" ”

"Actually, I think it depends on what you think." As soon as I finished speaking, Yanyu said directly: "It is said that our Northern Alliance has suffered the most losses this time, but President Ziri knows that you didn't mean to trap us, so if something really happens that you don't want to happen, I won't blame you, you can rest assured." ”

"Long live understanding!"

"Alright, don't be polite to me." Yanyu continued: "I'm still the same sentence, it depends on your own ideas to decide which plan to choose. ”

"Why my thoughts? This is related to the vital interests of thousands of guilds large and small across the country! ”

"No, although this is directly related to our vital interests, the decision is still yours." Yanyu said with great certainty: "Since we decided to listen to you at the beginning, it is that we believe in your ability, if you don't let us get benefits, but let everyone suffer, it's not your fault, it's our own mislook." So no matter what you decide, that's your business, and you don't think about our feelings at this time, it will affect your judgment, and if your judgment is not natural, then it is the greatest damage to our interests. ”

"Yanyu, you're forcing me!"

On the surface, Yanyu seemed to be supporting me and establishing my authority, but in fact, he was forcing me to choose the plan of the think tank, because the plan of the god of war is a conservative plan.

According to the god of war's plan, there will be no surprises, and if we really decide to carry out that plan, then I can actually predict the gains and losses in the future. The final result of this plan will not be unexpected, it can only be a small loss or a small profit, in short, it is basically equivalent to working in vain. Whether it is a loss or a gain, the value will be very low, in short, it is a waste of work.

Compared with the proposal of the god of war, the plan chosen by our think tank is more dangerous, but it is also more operable, if we play well, the benefits will be very large, and once we play badly, the loss is definitely enough for us to regret to the point of suicide.

Yanyu said that their Northern Alliance didn't care about gains and losses, but later said that if they lost something, it wasn't my fault that they didn't choose the right person, which was already suing me, and if we didn't get enough benefits to compensate them this time, they wouldn't mess with me in the future. Because the reason for their loss is that they chose the wrong boss as me, then the mistake must be corrected, no matter who they change to or become their own boss, in short, I will not be their boss again, that's for sure. Therefore, Yanyu's words are hidden needles in the brocade, and in fact, he is forcing me to make a decision.

"Yanyu, what you say is really realistic enough." Rose suddenly interjected: "Okay, everyone don't play dumb riddles here, everyone on the line is the head of various large guilds except for our people from the Frost Rose Alliance, everyone understands people, and going around will only waste our time." Let's make it clear now, do you want us to take a gamble? ”

"Okay, my sister-in-law is also straight." The leader of a large guild called the Dark Alliance spoke up, "Since everything is so straightforward, then I will also say what I mean. The first plan didn't make a profit, if you really did that, it would mean that you were doing day work in the later stage. I don't know what others think, anyway, I know that I will definitely quit early after that, so if others are like me, the result will be the collapse of the alliance, and if you count it white, you will disband the troops in advance, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for your Frost Rose Alliance to gather everyone again. ”

"I'm sorry, can you discuss it within our guild?" Su Mei's voice suddenly interjected.

"Please."

After receiving permission, Su Mei immediately said to the military god: "Military god, open a channel for the meeting personnel of our guild to temporarily block other signals." ”

"It's done."

“ok。” Su Mei said: "Now it's just us who are here. I was very inspired by the words of the Dark Alliance Boss just now. I've always felt that the god of war's plan was flawed, but I couldn't find the problem, but now I finally figured out what the problem was. ”

Before we could ask questions, the god of war suddenly interjected himself and said, "I also know what my problem is. I had previously ignored the relationship between the guilds in the country. I was planning the strategic deployment in the way that the army under the state was subordinate, but the guilds in the country did not cooperate with each other as tacitly as the armies. In the army, even if you know that you are cannon fodder, but for the victory of the overall battle situation, a certain unit will still sacrifice. But we are now in a guild alliance, and when there are interests, everyone can twist into a rope, and once the interests disappear and there are losses, the alliance will immediately collapse in an instant. Without cohesion between us, it is impossible to sacrifice the part to achieve the whole. So ......"

"So the plan is negative, God of War, you immediately start calculating the feasible plan of Sumei and their plan, I ask you to fill the gap in the plan for me in the shortest possible time, we need a comprehensive and detailed plan."

"Wait." After a pause of more than a minute, the military god spoke again: "The results are out." The success rate of the think tank's initial plan was about 83 percent, and if I had adjusted the pace of the war through micro-operation, and then used Chairman Ziri's super powerful strike ability as a means of suppression, the probability of success would exceed 97 percent. ”

"Such a high success rate should be enough." I asked, "What are the details?" ”

"There is a big difference between the revision plan and the plan of the think tank, and it is impossible to borrow the previous plan to cross the river. In addition, according to this plan, our guild may need to invest more, and in order to ensure the interests of the post-war period, we may have to expand the area occupied by Russia. ”

"Doesn't that make the whole plan bigger?"

"Not only is it getting bigger, it's going to be more complex, there's going to be more stuff involved, and because the planning time is getting longer, we may need to use some unconventional means."

"What do you mean by using unconventional means?" True Red asked.

"First of all, I have to fight, and secondly, we need foreign help."

"Foreign aid?" I asked curiously: "The whole country's troops are here, how can there be any foreign aid?" ”

"It's just because the whole country is here, that's why I say it's foreign aid and not internal personnel."

"You mean the Protoss?" I'm not stupid, of course I guessed what he was talking about the first time when the god of war said this.

Sure enough, the god of war immediately confirmed my suspicion. "No matter what method you use, you must let some of the Protoss participate in the war, not necessarily in the name of the Protoss, as long as you borrow some of their strength. Also, if possible, it would be better to be able to use the ring of precepts. ”

"No, the ring of discipline cannot be moved." I had a quarrel with the Protoss over the distribution of interests among the Russian Protoss before, and the relationship was rather stiff at that time, and I also used the threat of giving up the management of the Ring of Precepts to persecute the Protoss from all sides. If we propose to use the Ring of Discipline, it will not only be a matter of slapping ourselves, it will make us lose our position, and even if we win a great victory against Russia, it will be the other Chinese guilds that are working with us, and we will have to bear the blackmail of the Protoss ourselves. So the Ring of Discipline is now a nuclear weapon on that shelf, just put it there to scare people, and if you really launch it, it will bring trouble to yourself.

"It's okay if the ring of precepts can't be moved. What about the Protoss? ”

"The Protoss can be considered. They didn't have a good time with me before, and they might be looking for an opportunity to repair relations with us. If I take the initiative to go to them, I should be able to reach an understanding in exchange for a certain amount of force use. But do you think it's better to be a normal class or a high-level armed force? ”

"We need top-level force with a deterrent effect, and the number is not a problem."

"Okay, then I'll have a score."
