Chapter 463: Deliberation and Decision
"Ladies and gentlemen, war is not a matter of reasoning and deduction to predict whether a war will be won, if there is any sport in the world that is most prone to variables, it is undoubtedly war, a man's saddle is not properly installed, a man's knight's gun is not polished, this may cause the victory or defeat of the war to tilt to the other side, everyone, if we now plan to fight according to normal circumstances, then may I ask gentlemen, what are the chances that we can win?"
Yir looked at everyone present, and said with a smile, no one answered Yir, obviously, they don't know what to do now, continue to act according to the current method, like slow suicide, but Yir changes the frequency of combat and the direction of the battlefield at such a fast pace, which is really unacceptable to everyone, especially the two older dukes, who are a little unbearable.

War is not a game, countless lives will be filled in, it is possible to come to a result, including their lives, in the face of their own life and death, no one can handle it calmly, not to mention such a drastic change, although people will always die, and will always fail, but the failure after ten days and the failure after two months, obviously more people are willing to choose the defeat after two months, after all, maybe France will blow a big storm in two months, and the whole France will fall into poverty.
Or maybe the brothers of the current King want to take the opportunity to usurp the throne, just two months later, when they can solve all problems without blood, two months is too long, anything can happen during the period, and ten days is too short, they can't even wait for the opportunity to change the war, they may be defeated and return to their territory.
If it is according to the current situation, then they still have time, and if they follow Yir's method, they may not even have time, and it is easy to exchange time for their living space, but if they really want to do it, it will naturally be difficult, unless Yir can come up with a very convincing reason, otherwise it is obviously impossible to let them listen to his opinion to do it.
Ilr also knows this, most of these dukes are conservative, and at the moment they listen to their own words, only Monica and Ford, Duke of Brattbon, still have supportive eyes in their eyes, obviously for going according to the original plan, they have the same idea as Il, they don't think it is feasible, Il, think about it, and say:
"Gentlemen, I know your concerns, but the reason why I did this, in addition to exchanging time for space, has a more important reason, and that is because the momentum on our side is about to disappear. ”
Seeing the puzzled eyes of everyone, Yir explained: "The so-called momentum, is like the momentum around the knight, he can not only hurt people, but also make other enemies around him dare not fight against him, this is not just a matter of strength, but about a person's temperament, in the face of the upright person, the thief will be ashamed of himself, in the face of the powerful and powerful, the person with low status will tend to be inflammatory, this is the common sense of people, that is, the so-called potential."
One person is like this, and so is an army, we set out from Lower Lorraine, announcing the attack on France, we must have an indomitable momentum, only in this way will the French be afraid of us, with a small broad, we must give all our strength, instead of cowering as now, fighting with the other side, fighting manpower, we are impossible to fight, only by concentrating all our strength, to fight a victory, in order to let the French know that we are not easy to bully, and therefore, there will be a powerful birth.
And the emergence of the situation will not only improve the morale of our army, but also let the lords around France see the decline of France, and our strength, and by the time they know that our soldiers have won the victory with heavy casualties, they have already sent troops because they can't resist the temptation, which is the importance of the situation.
It is precisely because of this that on the first day of the war, I will let my army charge desperately, just hoping to create a momentum, and now, this momentum is obviously gone, if we continue to abide by the old rules, the morale of our army will weaken day by day, and the morale of the enemy will become stronger and stronger, they will fight on the mainland, and they do not have to worry about the food problem of their own army, and we can't, you know, in addition to facing the French army, we also have to face the French people? This is a big country, and if we continue to consume it, we will have only one end in sight.
Ladies and gentlemen, think about those people in the country who are eyeing us, they have coveted our territory for a long time, who knows if they will directly annex our territory when they see that we are unfavorable, this is not an impossible thing, war is the most suitable soil for social change, the replacement of rights, I think gentlemen, the understanding of this sentence must be much more adequate than mine, so gentlemen, we must open up a second battlefield, a third battlefield, so that all the onlookers mistakenly think that our combat effectiveness is very strong, and there is no fear of the attack of the French, only in this wayThose who are ambitious will be ready to move, exposing their desires to France, so that we will not be fighting alone, and we will have a chance to win. “
After Il's words for such a long time, there was a longer period of silence, everyone was thinking about Il's words, he was indeed right, modern information technology can only let the lords around France know some general conditions, such as they advanced twenty miles to the interior of France on the front line, or France occupied Savoy, as for the details, it is impossible to know, let alone any grain routes, except for the French, others do not know at all, just the Francis said to the outside world, they are stuck in the food route of the coalition army, as long as Pompeii begins to attack fiercelyThis kind of talk will naturally be treated as a rumor, so theoretically speaking, Yir's method is indeed feasible.
It's just too risky, if their all-out attack is blocked by the French, then what will be the result, Il did not say, but everyone here can guess, that is, no one will send troops to help them, and their strength will be sharply weakened by a large-scale attack, and in the end they will not even have the ability to resist, and then they will meet the crushing defeat and pay the reparations, this is the end of the defeat, they will not even have the bargaining chips to reach a settlement through diplomacy, they will become meat on the chopping block, and they will be taken by those French。
If you succeed, you can win, if you fail, you will be discredited, obviously, Il's method is really the one that gamblers will come up with, it is too risky, but the temptation is very great, the dukes lowered their heads, thinking about the pros and cons, Il is not bothering, all he can do is tell them what they think, as for the specific choice, it has to be them.
After a long time, the Dukes Kens and Flanders said: "I agree with you, the second battlefield will be opened up by me." He looked at Il, and said firmly, Il, facing Kens's slightly wrinkled, but crazy face in his eyes, knew that he had made up his mind, and said, "Then please, Your Highness the Duke." ”
"Don't worry, I'm going to make a big fuss. Kens said with a hearty smile, none of the people here are ordinary people, each of them except for the Duke of Brabant, as a superior has already gone through countless trainings, before choosing, they may be shaken, but as long as they make a choice, they will do their best, they are the most elite people in this era, looking forward to the future, but they will not do.
The leader of the second battlefield was done, and the eyes of everyone present were on the Duke of Luxembourg, as long as he agreed, then the opening of the third battlefield would be a matter of course, Richard was suddenly concerned by so many people, and he was a little panicked, but he quickly adjusted, and then said: "I also agree to establish the third war zone, and I will let the civilians in the territory carry out general mobilization." ”
"Very good, then the establishment of the second and third theaters of war has been passed here, two dukes, it is better to do this matter quickly, we are now in a race against time, at this time the French army, we can still withstand it here, you go and withdraw part of the army from the front line and bring it back to your own territory, you must establish the third front and the second front of the full offensive as quickly as possible, it will inevitably catch the French off guard in a short time, and this is what we want, the next thing is to see the reaction of the neighboring countries。 ”
Yir said excitedly, commanding an army of 200,000, this is an experience he has never had, this feeling is quite good, he can't help but think in his heart at this time, if I command a million-level army, what kind of situation will it be?
This is really a beautiful future, but although the future is good, it is more important than the things in front of you, seeing that both of them agreed, the meeting was basically over, seeing the two dukes secretly leave the barracks with the army, Yir quietly came to his camp, summoned his three capable generals, and told them all about what happened at the meeting.
"Your Royal Highness, did you really get them to agree to our plan, how did you do that?" said Müller in surprise, it turned out that the series of plans that Ill said in front of the dukes were not actually what he had in mind, but the brains of Müller, Jung, and Karst together.
The three of them were originally fine, and the battle was not going well, Karst and Jung were a little depressed, and then when they thought about the contradiction between Karst and Müller, Jung wanted to be a peacemaker, so he asked them out, went to the barracks to find a place to make a barbecue rack, took a few boxes of wine, and began to eat.
At the beginning, the main focus was on the private affairs of Müller and Karst, neither of them spoke, only Jung was saying, what kind of unity in the territory, don't be vain, etc., the other two responded without a word, the contradiction between Müller and Karst can be said to be a fundamental contradiction, and it is obviously impossible to solve it by mediation.
Later, Jung gave up, and several people stopped talking, and began to drink alone, as soon as the man drank wine, he wanted to talk nonsense, and the recent war was not going well, and this topic naturally began to be discussed around the battle in front of him, and then the more he talked about it, the more depressed he became, and he didn't know who proposed it, saying that he wanted the three of them to come up with an offensive plan together, and the other two had no opinion, so they designed it together, Jung was in charge of strategy, Müller was in charge of the psychological speculation of various countries, and Karst was in charge of tactics, and finally made such a risky plan。
When they told Il, Il, was also surprised, and then repeated admiration, this plan seems to be bold, but it is to guess the ideas of all the surrounding countries, and in terms of strategy and tactics, it is also extremely bold, if you let Ilr think about it, it will definitely not come up with such an 'unreliable' method, but these three people came up with it, after Il, after getting it, he told them to send it, let them see, the three people at that time can be said to be incredulous.
After all, they were all taken aback when they came up with this plan by themselves, because it was too risky, either ten thousand taels of gold, or ten thousand catastrophes, such a thing of playing with the heart, for the three half-old guys, they couldn't stand it, so when Yir said that they would implement it according to this method, the three of them were really frightened, but they didn't stop it.
In their opinion, this plan, no one dares to implement it at all, especially those dukes, the most important thing to do one by one is to be conservative, this is the biggest characteristic of the nobles, I hope that this world will never change, and I hope that the people at the bottom can always be obedient, this is what the upper class thinks, ancient and modern, Jung, Muller and others naturally think so, but they didn't expect it to be passed now, which really made the three of them almost lose their jaws, and they couldn't believe it for a long time.
"How? I just told them about your plan, and they agreed, and it's as simple as that, my gentlemen? Ill said with a smile, his role in it is naturally very important, he was born with all the charm that a leader should have, which makes it easy for people to believe even if he is lying, this is obviously his talent, but in front of Jung and others, he still maintains a certain modesty, after all, no matter how strong the charm is, if there is no strength and wisdom as support, then there is no difference from the liar on the street.
