By the time Steven arrived, Alan had been talking to Reinhardt and Euss' envoy for a while. Yus's envoy is none other than Sandra, who came once a year ago because of the civil strife in the ancient city of Oku.

Sandra had just returned to Boulder City when he encountered a palace coup, and before he could take over the task of the last Ogu city state, the prime minister sent him back to the city city to negotiate the transfer of the defense of Capra Pass to the city-state army. Sandra understands that this is not easy to do, the people of the ancient city of Okusan are not stupid, if this is a city close to the direction of Yus, they may not be able to ask for it, but Capra Pass is a chicken rib, and getting it is equivalent to helping Yus guard the border. So as soon as he arrived, he sought Reinhardt's help, although it had been decided to transfer Reinhardt back when Wittels was in power, but after all, there was no official order, Reinhardt was still an official of Youss in the ancient city of Austria, and he was obliged to support him.

"For three hundred years, the Capra Pass has been guarded by the Yuss army, and now it is suddenly handed over to us, and we are simply not capable of doing it. ”

When Steven figured out Reinhardt's intentions, his brow furrowed, and he was just about to refuse Yuss's offer, but Alan stopped him.

"There are many aspects involved, not just the military side, so we have to have an internal meeting and discuss it before we can make a final decision. ”

Alan's reply was neither rejected nor accepted, but Reinhardt and Sandra understood that the matter could not be rushed, so they took their leave and left until Alan had decided to visit again.

As soon as the two of them left, Alan immediately ordered a meeting of the core personnel of his team, and taking over the defense of Capra Pass was very important, and the impact on the Gothas was even more profound, and he had to listen to everyone's opinions.

On the third day, in the council chamber of Castle August, Allen, Steven, Elvis, Stanny, Miranda, Isha, Harvey, Bloom, Kevin, Havic and other key characters all arrived.

Allen personally presided over the meeting, but he only threw out the issue raised by the Yuss Empire that he wanted to transfer the defense rights of Capra Pass, and did not express his position, but let everyone speak freely.

"I don't think we can accept Yus's request to transfer the defense of Capra Pass to us, Capra Pass is a chicken rib for us, it has never been an important checkpoint for orcs to attack south for three hundred years, but it will take at least 30,000 troops to defend it. ”

As soon as Alan's voice fell, Steven first said:

"The Yuss Empire has just undergone a coup d'état, and although the coup group has taken control of the Yuss court, the entire Yuss Empire is still in a very unstable state. Once the deserted prince is supported by the military bloc, Yus will immediately enter a state of all-out war, and then our opportunity will come, but if the defense of Capra Pass holds back a large number of our troops, it will be difficult for us to do anything in the civil strife in Yus, and my brother-in-law's strategy to eliminate the Holy See will not be implemented at all. ”

Steven's analysis makes sense. However, I am not optimistic about the Grand Prince of Yus, even if he has the support of the Northern Legion, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse the defeat. Don't forget that the coup group has the full support of the Holy See, and although the coup group is still denying the papal involvement in the coup, it can be judged by the increasingly active griffon knights in Yuss that the Holy See is already working with Yuss to clear the remnants of the resistance. Therefore, even if there is a civil unrest in Yus, it will last for a short time, and we must be prepared in advance if we want to intervene. Why did Yuss withdraw the defenders stationed at Capra Pass? This shows that Yus's internal military strength is empty, and he is anxious to replenish his troops to the south, and this is a good opportunity for us to concentrate our troops, be ready to move south at any time, and strive for the strategic initiative. ”

After Steven finished speaking, Bloom continued, although he did not make a clear statement, but the meaning of his words was to support Steven.

"I have the opposite opinion. ”

The third to speak was Harvey:

"From a military point of view, Capra Pass is really not that important. Three hundred years ago, it was the ancestors of the Gosas who abandoned the Orcs and caused terrible damage to humanity. For 300 years, the Gossars have lived in shame all the time, and this shame can only be washed away with blood. Now that Capra is back in the hands of the Gosa, I don't think the Gosas have any reason to refuse. ”

Harvey's words were categorical, with an indomitable momentum, which silenced the rest of the audience for a while.

"Harvey, although it was the Gosas who opened the Capra Pass to let the orcs go south in history, but what really led to the tragedy of the Gosa people was a series of decision-making mistakes by the Gosa King, he did not clearly grasp the changes in the situation on the mainland, stood on the wrong side, and at the critical moment, he actually let his soldiers lay down the weapons that could ensure their rights and interests. Therefore, I understand that the Gossacians want to be ashamed, but the war cannot be carried out rashly, and the current situation of the city-state must be considered, otherwise no matter how much blood is shed, it will be in vain. ”

It was Steven who broke the silence, unaffected by Harvey's generous statement, and his tone remained calm. During his previous period under house arrest by Holland, he had studied the history of the Gosas in depth, so he knew very well that although the tragedy of the Gosas originated from the defection of the enemy, it was by no means the whole story, and the Gosa King's decision-making mistakes at critical moments were the most direct cause.

"Kevin, tell everyone how many armies can be supported by the current economic capacity of the city-state. ”

Steven added at the end.

"It should be clear to everyone that the biggest bottleneck restricting the military expansion of the city-state is food. ”

Kevin picks up the topic:

"With the current grain reserves of the city-state, it can only feed 80,000 troops at most, which is still a normal day, and once it enters wartime, this number will be reduced by at least 20,000. ”

Kevin was obviously prepared and told the data that had been calculated earlier.

"Everyone has heard that the entire city-state can feed a total of 80,000 troops, if 30,000 are divided to guard the Capra Pass, and then 10,000 bullets are allocated to suppress the place, only 40,000 people can really be used for battle, and it is a bit wishful thinking to rely on these 40,000 people to fight for dominance on the future continent. ”

"Alan, I think Steven's concerns have some point, but you've promised the nomads to take them back to the grasslands, and if you let them know that we're setting up the vigilante to deal with Juss and the Holy See, their morale will suffer, and it's not good for your prestige. ”

This time it was Havich who spoke, and apparently he was also supporting Xavi.
