"Are you so busy that you don't even have time for a military meeting?"

When Princess Gina heard Duke say this, she was even more angry and rushed directly in front of Duke.

As a result, when the distance was closer, she saw Duke's tired face. Be aware of the ever. These guys are all in good spirits, just to pretend to be a wise and martial lord in front of his subordinates.

"What the hell have you been doing lately, and why do you look so tired?"

When Jina saw Duke's appearance, her previous anger was immediately disconnected, and she asked Duke as if she was blaming. She didn't understand why she felt a kind of distress when she saw Duke's happy appearance.

"Didn't do anything, by the way, what did your military council say?"

Duke casually changed the subject, after all, the transaction with the barbarians is a secret that cannot be opened, even if it is Princess Jina, after all, Jina is from a royal family.

Seeing that Duke didn't say anything, Gina naturally didn't want to ask much, and this time she came over, she really wanted to pass on the content of the military meeting to Duke.

"Yesterday there was a military meeting of the Northern Line, and Duke Otto of the Lion Army also came. Now that the empire is facing off against the barbarians and the Hans Empire, the burden brought by it is too great, and the consumption of nearly 100,000 people on the border every day is an astronomical amount, so this situation must be broken. ”

"How to break, attack?"

Duke replied casually, he had roughly guessed what the content of this meeting was, if he wanted to break this situation, only one side would attack, and the confrontation would continue until all parties had no strength, then this year-long border confrontation would naturally end.

"Well, offense. And Marquis Patton came up with an offensive plan, the lion army inserted from the border of the orc empire, trying to attack the barbarians from the flank, the imperial army as the main offensive force, will attack the barbarians head-on, and the storm army attacks from the right flank, playing the role of supplementing the attack. This will also put less pressure on the Storm Army, and it is even very likely that it will not participate in the battle. ”

Attacking the barbarians in three ways may also be the only feasible plan at present, because the Hans Empire, as a human empire, has a high fortress, and under the premise that this world has no heavy firepower, it is simply a fool's dream to attack such a fortress.

Even if it is attacked, the casualties are estimated to be terrible, and the French Empire is bound to be unable to bear such casualties.

Another point is that the entire human empire is under the maintenance of the Holy See, although most wars are actually manipulated by the Holy See behind the scenes, but the image of the Holy See on the bright side is great and bright, and he will try his best to interfere in the war between the two empires, so it is very possible to attack the Hans Empire, and eventually consume a lot of financial and material resources, and be mediated by the Holy See, which will be a heavier blow to the French Empire.

Therefore, attacking the steppe barbarians is the best choice at present, after all, the barbarians are nomadic people, and there are no fortifications and fortresses, at most it is a little logistical trouble. And more importantly, after repelling the barbarians, there was no reason for the Hans Empire to continue to garrison large armies on the border.

You must know that the reason for the Hans Empire's army to suppress the territory is to prevent the attack of the barbarians, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Hans Empire still has the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob. If it weren't for the Holy See's strong suppression, he would probably have formed an alliance with the barbarians to kill the French Empire first.

After listening to Princess Jina's attack plan, Duke replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The storm army attacked from the right flank, that is, it was sandwiched between the Hans Empire and the barbarians, you must know that we are actually in a hostile state with the Hans Empire at present, and if the Hans Empire sends troops, then the storm army will not be attacked from both sides." This was not a supplementary attack, but a total annihilation. ”

A month ago, the head of the Kabu sub-division of the Hans Empire faced Duke, and said that the plan of the French Empire would collude with the Hans Empire and the barbarians to directly destroy the Storm Army in the northern defense line, which could not only weaken the strength of Duke Otto's family, but also hold Duke Otto accountable when the time came, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

As a result, a month has passed, and there has been no order from the Marquis of Barton's side, and Duke has almost forgotten about it, but he didn't expect Princess Gina to say it today. It seems that in order to dispel their doubts, the Marquis of Barton and the Emperor of France even put on the idea of Princess Gina.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Princess Gina also knows about this plan and wants to use her personal friendship with Duke to send the Stormtroopers to their deaths. It's just that Duke doesn't believe that Gina is such a person, he understands that Gina is indeed simple and cute in a sense, but he was born in a place like the royal family that is destined to be a conspiracy.

"How can it be possible for the Storm Army to be attacked from both sides, Duke Patton has already met with the secret envoy of the Hans Empire, and our two countries will temporarily reach a peace agreement to deal with the barbarians first, after all, such a confrontation with the border army is also a big burden for the Hans Empire. ”

"Another point is that the truce between the Hans Empire and the French Empire against the barbarians was ordered by the Holy See himself. No matter what happened to the Hans Empire, it was impossible to go against the will of the Holy See. ”

Princess Jina said a lot of things very naively, because she never imagined that her father would unite with the empire to send his soldiers to death in order to fight against dissidents!

"Alright, I see, Gina, you can go back and tell Marquis Barton that the Stormtroopers will be sending troops from the right flank. But I have one condition, I must tell me the detailed march plan and route, otherwise the storm army will refuse to fight!"

"Of course, otherwise how would the Storm Army cooperate with the Imperial Army. ”

Ji Na nodded directly in agreement, but she saw that Duke's expression didn't seem to look good, so she comforted her and said: "Duke, I know you're worried about the casualties of the Storm Army, but I also want you to understand that the war will eventually be like this, even if it's not the Storm Army, the Imperial Army and the Lion Army will be like this." There is only one way to reduce these casualties and usher in peace, and that is to defeat one side and break this stalemate!"

Hearing Jina's words, Duke still only smiled faintly, and then he looked at Jina's innocent eyes and asked, "Jina, do you think you really understand war and politics?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" asked Gina in confusion.

"If one day you find out that the so-called war is nothing but a continuation of political conspiracy, will you still maintain this original intention of defending the country and the people?"

"I will, because as a royal princess, the safety of the lives of soldiers and civilians of the French Empire is the responsibility I should bear!"
