"The first reason is the problem of soldiers: we have mobilized more than 100,000 troops and farmers this time.

Although the soldiers were all professional soldiers, most of them came from warm southerners, and there was a serious non-combat attrition in the perennially frozen Kuwaiti snowfields.

If there is no new round of support, then our army will not be enough to continue fighting, and will have to shrink the range. ”

Ryan changed his posture and reminded in a lazy manner: "But as far as I know, the Prime Minister has already proposed a new round of conscription plans, and will send the standing army on the western border to support along the Urgan Mountains in the warm spring, so that they can participate in this war before next summer." ”

"I know, but it seems to me that the arrival of the Western Corps has only two tasks:

First, to assist us in destroying the living forces of the Andes. Second, cross-cover as we retreat.

As you know, the western frontier of the kingdom is constantly threatened by the steppe orc kingdom, a brutal and disgusting green-skinned creature that invades parts of the western and southern realms every winter.

If the hateful orcs are to be guaranteed not to set foot on the lands of the kingdom, then the Western Legion must rush back before winter.

If we don't cover each other's retreat at that time, then we will become the object of the Andes' anger to vent their anger, and in the winter we will be far inferior to them in combat effectiveness. "Allen is a precise example of his extraordinary strategic acumen.

"You go on." Ryan nodded, not retorting.

"The second reason is the problem of grain and grass.

Due to the previous wars, the population of the northern part of the kingdom has been greatly reduced, and production has not been restored. In order to sustain the army in battle, our food comes from the southern part of the kingdom and the royal territory.

The supply lines were far away, and often the first batch had not yet arrived, and the latter set off, and most of the grain was consumed by a huge number of serfs on the way.

After a few years, even the rich southern border has been unable to hold on.

Our weapons and equipment come from the western realm of the kingdom, and because of the orcs, the number of shipments to the front line is decreasing year by year, and next year it will drop to more than half.

In this case, the soldiers will not be able to fight the barbaric Andes, and the occupation will need to be further reduced. ”

Alan paused to take a sip and said, "The third reason is the transformation within the kingdom.

Although all the great nobles of the kingdom supported the war against the Andes at the beginning of the war, no one except the nobles of the northern realm did their best.

Because of interests, the power of the kingdom cannot be fully concentrated, and after several years of attrition, the nobles of the northern realm have been squeezed to the limit, and they just want to end the war as soon as possible. ”

"Wait, according to you, the nobles in the north have vested interests, so will they give up all these interests and withdraw to the country?"

Ryan interrupted him and asked a crucial question.

"Of course they won't, but they can't help it, because the scope of occupation is reduced, and there is not enough distribution among the nobles in the north, so naturally it will not be the turn of other nobles to intervene.

Naturally, other nobles in the kingdom will not let them monopolize this benefit, and in the end, no one can get it, what is the benefit of the kingdom in the eyes of those people?

That's why I actually said I wanted to go back home. Alan explained somewhat cryptically, and with his character, he didn't dare to put these things on the table.

A gleam flashed in Lane's eyes, he didn't expect Alan to think of this, because Allen has always been upright, he thought that the other party's sensitivity to politics was very low, but he didn't expect it to be all appearances.

It can only be attributed to the success of aristocratic education, even Ryan had a mentor who specialized in imparting this knowledge when he was a child.

"Based on the above, if I were the commander, I would return home before next winter.

Because in this way, the captured booty can be calmly taken away and fed back to the country. Alan said with a serious face.

Ryan smiled as he listened, and couldn't help but reach out and applaud his brilliant analysis.

Allen's ability to analyze these three points with limited intelligence is enough to see his military qualities: rational, objective, courageous, long-term, and highly strategic.

In the words of his previous life, Allen is a real handsome talent, and what he lacks is only the precipitation of time and the experience of commanding a large army.

Ryan turned around in his mind and said to Allen: "Alan Knight, your analysis is very wonderful and excellent, but I have another statement, would you like to hear it?" ”

"Yes, please ask Sir to correct it." Alan immediately sat upright and made a gesture of listening.

"Oh, you're mistaken, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm thinking of another aspect.

You ignore the kingdom's dominance over the north, and even if there are no people in the kingdom to interfere with it, the nobles of the north will not be able to absorb the occupied cities, and will eventually have to retreat. ”

"Why?" Alan suddenly frowned, a little puzzled. He really couldn't think of how he couldn't occupy that small part of the territory without the obstruction of the nobles.

"Because of that event in history, the kingdom lost the first Kuwaiti war, and nearly half of the kingdom's northern borders were lost. During the reign of the former King Constantine I, the Second Kuwait War was also lost.

Until the year 99972 of the continental calendar, after three years of war, His Majesty the Great King recovered all the territory of the North, but by that time, the commoners of the North had been ruled by the Andes for nearly eighty years.

Such a long period of time has worn away the influence and dominance of the kingdom in the Northlands, and it is already difficult to maintain the stability of the recovered areas in the North, let alone digest those real Andesian territories?

If this is forced, then the kingdom will have to relocate the Andes natives into the north, and move the civilians of the north to new territories.

However, the people of the north have managed to stabilize with great difficulty, and if they do so, countless rebellions and rebellions will be set off in an instant.

When the time comes, the kingdom will be mired in civil strife, and the rivals around us will pounce on us like wolves.

So, if I were the commander, I would plunder and destroy these places as much as I could before retreating in preparation for the next war! ”

Ryan's eyes were deep, and he had a hunch that the Fifth Kuwait War would not be far away, because his own king, His Majesty, was a lord who would not be a king of peace.

Alan had an expression of disbelief on his face after listening to Ryan's analysis, he had never thought of the possibility of a rebellion among the people of the North, because his childhood education had taught him that commoners were docile lambs, ignorant and vulnerable, and could only be sheltered by nobles.

At one point he asked his teacher, "Do civilians have the ability to shelter themselves?" ”

Allen's history teacher told him, "No! ”

Throughout the history of mankind on the mainland, there has never been a country ruled by commoners, and the nobles and transcendents have always stood at the top of the pyramid and are the heroes who protect the human race!

Alan told Ryan about this, and after being silent for a while, Ryan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Friend, the power of the people is infinite, and when the oppression reaches the extreme, they can even subvert the rule of a kingdom.

Have you ever wondered how the Dawning Empire, which dominated the continent at the beginning, collapsed, and who overthrew the rule of the aristocracy at that time? ”
