The original curved table top revealed a noble ebony wood, and the two cups of coffee curled in front of the two of them exuded a fragrance, Frederick had maintained this low-brow contemplation since Crouff began to introduce the current situation in India, and the fragrant coffee had always been Frederick's favorite, but now he seemed to have lost interest, and was indifferent to the cup of the best Black Star coffee placed in front of him.

The chiming clock in the room ticked and seemed to remind the two of them of the loss of time, and Crouff was very patient, he knew that this decision was not easy to make, it required careful arrangement and deployment, and it also required considerable risks, especially in the face of an unusually powerful enemy and a cunning enemy commander, so he needed to explain the current situation in detail, so that the cousin in front of him, who was silent and silent, really understood the current situation.
"Crouff, I don't think you're the kind of adventurous person you are, why are you so obsessed with starting such a large-scale war this time? I don't believe that you don't know what this war means, I have no intention of interfering with your command, you only informed me when the Hansen Alliance asked for an alliance to join forces against the Tang people, and later privately negotiated with the Tang people to force the Tang army to turn to attack the Hansen Alliance, it stands to reason that we can now take this opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so as to stabilize the internal situation in South India, why do you have such an idea?"
Patiently waiting for his cousin to finish introducing the current situation in India, Frederick spent some time sorting out his thoughts based on what he had learned, but so far he still could not convince himself to agree to Crouff's somewhat risky plan, it was not his own indecision, this matter was too important, it might affect Luzon's rule in South India, and if he lost, it might even affect the dominance of the Komini region, which was not yet fully consolidated, and he had to be cautious.
"Quite simply, because we have to, or we will lose control and influence of this land. Before that, I had repeatedly asked myself, if we continue to maintain the status quo like this, what will happen to us? No matter which angle I calculate, the final outcome is that our rule in the South Indian region will be replaced by the Tang people, who have completely defeated the Hansen League and increased their power, so I will make up my mind to plan this plan, of course, it is very risky, but if there is no risk, then there is no way to talk about it, and we can imagine that Cui Wenxiu will not tolerate the existence of a possible surname without risk. Cruf took a sip of his coffee and said lightly.
For the first time, Frederick was stunned to hear his cousin speak in such a positive tone, and he looked at his cousin again. This plan should be said to be quite bold, almost to make the Luzon army currently stationed in the South Indian region of the Luzon army out of the nest, but once it is successfully implemented, it can indeed deal a fatal blow to the Tang army, at least the Tang army's strength, morale and influence in the entire Indoan region and even in the Central Continent will be greatly weakened, but if it is said that the Tang army's foundation here can be cut off in one fell swoop, Frederick does not think so, but this does not affect his appreciation of this plan, because he is also a person who advocates active attack.
"Do you think the time is ripe?" Frederick no longer questioned the viable surname of the plan, but he needed to consider the actual surname of the plan.
The intelligence from the front confirmed that the Don Army had indeed turned north on the banks of the Volga, which showed that the Don Army had indeed deceived the Hansen League, because all the activities of the Tang Army during this period had not been disturbed by any attack by the Hansen League, and the Tang Army's diversion to the north would inevitably be the main force in the Kerman Province and the Hansen Alliance. The Hannover Second Corps is head-to-head, and it is conceivable that Cui Wenxiu will also launch a full-scale attack on several other fronts against the Hansen Alliance.
The number of garrisons of the Hansen Confederate Army in West India was far inferior to that of the Tang Army, but the combat effectiveness of their army Frederick was quite clear, compared to the previous Tang Army, most of the troops stationed in the Indian area belonged to Li Wufeng's second-line army, such as the Seventh Army Corps, The Tenth Army and the Indian Legion, except for the Gerlok Legion, which could barely be called a first-line army, Frederick did not think that the Tang Army could overwhelm the Hansen Alliance with the same number of troops, on the contrary, Frederick believed that the Tang Army might even suffer the loss of being unfamiliar with the other side in the first engagement. In this case, the Luzon army should be a good opportunity to attack in full force, but Frederick still wanted to hear Crouff's opinion.
"I think the most opportune time should be at this time, because the Tang Army currently has only one division of the Seventh Army Corps and 30,000 men of their servant army, the Punjab Self-Defense Army, in the border area with us on the southern front. The Punjab Self-Defense Force was trained by Pauling when he was the chief representative of the Punja Division, and the real elite is about 50,000 people, of which 30,000 are currently transferred to Lahore Province by Choi Wenxiu, and the other 20,000 are stationed in Selms. We don't know much about the combat effectiveness of this army, but it is estimated that it will not surpass the Tang Army's Indean Legion or the Seventh Legion, no matter what means and methods Pauling uses, the unique surname of the Indean nation itself determines how good their soldiers will not become. Seeing a vague smile on the corner of Frederick's mouth, Crouff hurriedly added, "It's not my opinion alone. ”
"In other words, at present, the strength of the Tang Army stationed in the southern border area is only more than 50,000 troops, if we do our best" Crouff was about to continue, but was stopped by Frederick waving his hand: "Slow! Didn't the intelligence show that two Ranger regiments of the Tang Army had gone south from the Tengger steppe? Where are their positions now? I don't seem to have seen any information about their movements!"
"Rangers, Frederick, do you mean that the rangers of the Don Army will appear on the Southern Front?" Crouff asked rhetorically, as if he didn't believe it.
"I didn't say that, but I need to verify the movements of the Don Army Rangers, at least I have not seen their activities on the line of Pamel and Milo, and if we do not get their exact movements, if we want to attack to the north, we need to include these two forces in the possible range and make corresponding countermeasures. Frederick shook his head, but the meaning of his words was unmistakable.
"According to Cui Wenxiu's style, the Tang Army Rangers should appear on the battlefield in Dexin Province or Huluo Province, using frontal forces to attract the enemy's main force, and using rangers to attack from the flank, which is the usual method of Cui Wenxiu and even the Tang Army using rangers. Although Crouff's words were affirmative, his tone betrayed his inner uncertainty.
"Crouff, if Cui Wenxiu has always used conventional means to fight, I think he will not be able to be entrusted with a heavy task by Li Wufeng. To tell you the truth, I have carefully studied the styles of the two major generals of the Tang Army, Liang Chongxin is simple and heavy, hides the killing intention, is good at frontal battles but can occasionally make surprise soldiers, and has the demeanor of everyone; Cui Wenxiu is impermanent, and uses troops to make plans like a whimsical antelope hanging horns, strange and ruthless, and there is no trace to follow, this opponent is the most unpredictable, and he can only be unpredictable in battle, so he can only see moves and make random changes. In other words, the more Cui Wenxiu shows weakness, maybe it is also the deeper his ambush, and we can't be careless. Well, I'm not against your plan, but we need to think it a little bit more through. ”
Seeing that his cousin was thoughtful, but a little stupid, Frederick didn't want to say this, but he needed to be responsible for the whole army, and he had to remind the other party.
"If we wait for our intelligence to determine the movements of the Don Army Rangers, maybe we will lose our best fighters. I admit that Cui Wenxiu's use of troops is indeed extraordinary, but I think that Cui Wenxiu should have thought that with the Indean Corps in his hands, it would be impossible to break through the defense line of the Thuringian Second Corps in Dexin Province, and if he did not do it, he would suffer a heavy setback, so he would let this happen? Crouff insisted on his opinion, "I believe it won't be long before the intelligence services confirm my inference." ”
Seeing that his cousin was rarely so stubborn, Frederick was also reflecting on whether he was a little too conservative and cautious, Cui Wenxiu is good at using troops, but he is not a god, in this case, even he did not expect that Kruf would brew such a big counteroffensive plan, Cui Wenxiu can deduce that he will use this opportunity to counterattack? It stands to reason that he should use this opportunity to clean up the internal problems in the South Indian region.
"Crouff, if you think your plan is okay, then can it be like this, we can" Frederick lowered his voice, he didn't want to lose an opportunity for this reason, let alone get into an unpleasant quarrel with his cousin for this reason, but he still needed to stick to his opinion, it was his responsibility.
"Isn't it too conservative, it may affect the momentum of the battle. Although Crouff patiently listened to the other party's opinion, he was still a little dissatisfied.
"Kruff, I'd rather be safe, after all, our opponent is not anyone else, we have seen Cui Wenxiu's methods, which is more important, you should know which is more important. Frederick was very serious, he was rarely so patient, but this time was different.
"If you insist on this, then I will consider it. Crouff knew that the other party had also made concessions, and he could barely accept such a result.
