Chapter 13: The Battle Plan of Misrid II
"Your Majesty...... What did you just say?" Wei Naxon, the Chancellor of the court, could not believe that Mithrid II could come up with such a crazy idea. The people present also had expressions of disbelief, and they didn't know why the foodie king in front of him would think of such a battle plan.
No one in the quiet room wanted to break the deathly silence, and no one, including Ronio, could have imagined that the king would think of spreading the war to other regions.
"Didn't you understand me?" looked at the ministers' unchanging expressions of surprise, and Mithrid II was a little angry.
He walked up to Ronio, snatched the whip from the old general's hand with one hand, and then pointed to the border between the two countries and said, "I ask you what exactly this line is?"
Watch the long whip as it glides from the Bujel Forest through the city of Olobova, the town of Mlada, the Tarak border area, and then all the way to the mountains of Monria. Everyone could see that the king had indicated the border between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Duchy of Bohemia, which was not disputed.
This obvious border line is understood by everyone here, but no one dares to speak first in this situation. Because they don't know what the attitude of other people is, they are waiting for the development of the situation in front of them.
"Since you all think that attacking from the mountains of Monlia seems very difficult and will take a long time and energy, why don't you rice buckets think of changing direction and launching an attack on Bavaria from here. It's something that a three-year-old can come up with, why can't you think of it!" shouted Mithrid II at his subordinates.
"Your Majesty!" said the Chancellor of the court, Wei Naxon, who stood up tremblingly, "Your Majesty, do not forget that our territorial dispute with the Kingdom of Bavaria is only in the Monlia Mountains. The place you are referring to is one that we have no dispute with the Kingdom of Bavaria. In accordance with the relevant conventions. We cannot clash with the Kingdom of Bavaria in an undisputed area. ”
"Whose rule is this!" said King Misrid II, tucking at the map hanging on the wall, "is it you, or is it any other country, has there been a treaty in Carantoc that no war can be waged in disputed land?"
Seeing that the king was in a fit of rage, no one dared to take it, for fear that he would become a victim of his anger.
"No!" echoed the King's roar in the great chamber, "I know you're going to scare me with those damn reptiles, I've never been afraid of meddlers. Why should they be on top of us and point fingers at us? Kalantok wasn't created by dragons, so why should they and the guys at Ysu claim to be the defenders of the world!"
The call caused several ministers who wanted to admonish the king to swallow back.
Misrid II blushed and scolded, "I know what you're thinking, are you saying I'm being willful again, losing my temper again?
"You always think I'm just a foodie. I've had enough of all this. I'm fed up with your ramblings. I'm an adult, I'm in my forties this year, and you've always treated me like a child......"
The king's anger was still burning, and the center of the meeting was no longer to discuss the battle plan for the next six months. Rather, it turned into a complete outburst of His Majesty the King.
All the people present endured the king's wanton insults in silence. Someone didn't look up at the wall clock on the wall. Let's see how long it will be before we leave the meal. Many people knew that it was too normal for Mithrid II to behave like this, and let him lose his temper as long as it was time to eat. Naturally, he would stop.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour before noon, Mithrid II finally stopped. Hunger had awakened his composure, and he threw the long whip in his hand to Ronio, who was standing aside: "I don't care, you can do it." Prepare for me by tomorrow afternoon a plan of operations for the offensive of our army from Oloboa-Tarlac. ”
Immediately, Misrid left the conference room with all the attendees respectful, leaving only the worried Ronio and the court chancellor.
Looking at the large map on the wall, Ronio was looking at it.
"Thank you, we didn't expect His Majesty to come to this trick at all. Wei Naxon comforted his old friend, "Let's go, I've got the chef to prepare something for you that you didn't expect." ”
Ronio grabbed Wei Nathan by the sleeve and said, "My old friend, if we follow His Majesty's advice, it is possible for us to recover the disadvantage we have developed in the war with Bavaria. ”
Wei Naxon didn't think so: "The king is a trick, are you also crazy with it." If you rashly attack an area that is not disputed, it will be the rhythm of an all-out war between the two countries, which will attract the intervention of Eternal Dragon City. We are a small country, and the Habsburgs are obedient to those dragons, what can we do. ”
"My old friend, I'm a military man, and I don't understand the complexities of foreign policy, and I don't know how you people look ahead for the sake of the so-called balance of interests. Ronio clenched the whip in his hand and said, "I know that what you have been longing for is to resolve the dispute between the two countries through negotiation, but the question is that is the reality? We have just lost thousands of our compatriots in the mountains of Monria, and no one will turn a blind eye to the sudden appearance of gold in the mountains." ”
Ronio sighed at this, and Wei Nathan didn't know what to say.
Because of an absurd marriage between the two royal families decades ago, the Monria Mountains became the focus of conflict between the two countries. And this long-standing conflict was finally ignited after the discovery of gold, and it was no longer a ball that was kicked back and forth diplomatically between the two sides.
"Conflict has long been inevitable, and war is just like we are walking into. "My old friend, you may think that our King is playing tricks, but this is a normal reaction. We lost in the mountains of Monria, and His Majesty naturally hopes to find a way back and make the other side hurt too. Do you think that if we had won in the Monria Mountains, would Bavaria, which has no way to deal with the Monria Mountains, launch a surprise attack on our country from Probez. ”
After speaking, Ronio whipped the city of Oloboa and the vicinity of the Talak border area: "Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has now accumulated a large number of troops in the mountainous area of Monria, we will definitely take the enemy by surprise when we attack from the front line of Olobova and Mlada." If all goes well, we could even break through Probez and Plevy and attack directly under the royal capital of Bavaria, Dislafa. ”
"You...... Do you really intend to bring the two countries into a state of all-out war?" Wei Nathan, who had never expected the future to be so bad, did not dare to think about the future of all-out war.
"War is inevitable, my old friend. "If we can threaten Dislafa, maybe you'll have the leverage to bargain with those damn Bavarian diplomats." The diplomats of a militarily defeated country will never be able to straighten their backs in front of the enemy!"
Wei Naxon, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, was already a little confused, he slowly walked to the nearest chair and sat down, and said in a dejected voice: "Is there no other way than an all-out war?"
"We don't have a choice!" (To be continued......)
