"It doesn't seem that this guy has made any progress over the years. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Well, maybe this girl has become more difficult to deal with than I thought. Lady Mary thought to herself.

"This guy is the same as before, annoying. In the same way, Freya had such a thing in her mind.

It's like what I thought before. The two acquaintances met again after a lapse of decades, and the emotion in their hearts, the emotion, the emotion, and the fact that there was nothing else at all. There is nothing else to think about other than to look at each other.

In fact, none of them would have come to another guy if they had any other way. Even if it were possible, they would definitely take each other's lives.

Yes, they will definitely do it in Hayang. This can be seen in the eyes of the two of them.

One was expressionless, the other was smiling, but if you looked closely at their eyes, you could see that there was nothing but killing intent.

Uh-huh, yes, yes, that's what it looks like.

However, now is not the time for them to fight each other. For now, at least, they have a common enemy to face. That's probably why they sat together and didn't fight in the first place.

They now have a powerful, and common enemy -- not their love rival, of course.

Rather, the Visigothic Republic.

After being crushed by a regiment of cavalry from the Russian Gothic Empire in one fell swoop, the Visigoths did not seem to be frightened for this reason. On the contrary, the guys are starting to get excited. Yes, I don't know for what reason, rightly so, and I don't know what these revolutionaries actually said. All in all, after the news spread, the five legions that were attacking the city in the south and expanding the territory of the Visigothic Republic suddenly changed their strategy and advanced in the direction of Rotterdam as fast as possible.

At the same time, the other four corps also stopped making detours and how to attack. Instead, it shifted to defending on the spot. And the fortifications were piled up as fast as possible.

Today, the coalition forces are facing such a situation.

Therefore, what Madame Maria wants to do now is to convince Freya to continue her efforts and launch a new offensive while the other five legions of the other party are not mobilized. If only a few more Visigothic legions could be destroyed. It would be nice to even be able to sweep away the four Visigothic legions.

This is also where Freya hesitates a little.

In fact, from a purely military point of view, the strategy of the Britons is the most correct.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other side has not yet concentrated the army, take advantage of the rapid mobility of the cavalry corps to break the scattered enemy heavy groups one by one or something.

It's all normal and correct behavior strategically and tactically.

It's just that this is just a matter of war, military affairs.

Lady Mary told these things, how much it was militarily good to do so, and how much she gave Freya a top hat, how strong Freya was, how brave she was in battle. Frisia's fathers and fellow villagers are now counting on Freya to help them fend off their enemies.

Hoping to be able to say it to Freya flutteringly, and then agree to it.

Of course, Freya didn't agree.

As I said, this is indeed the right thing to do militarily, but not politically.

In the case of Freya as the commander of the forward army, William more than once "lectured on the opportune time".

Were the Visigoths enemies of the Empire?

Yes, the Visigoths were indeed enemies of the Empire. And it is the greatest threat and challenge facing the Empire at the moment.

But does this mean that the Bretons are friends of the Empire? Even compared to the Visigoths, the Britons still have a strong heritage and strong national power as support, and it is not necessarily a greater threat to the empire.

Only now, the Visigoths look very scary. And in some ways, the Reich needed the Bretons to please themselves—just as the United States looked at Britain during World War II.

While "pulling the other party", it is also necessary to let the other party take out the other party's heritage, family background or something, as a reward for "pulling the other party", and let the empire fill this heritage.

Even if the empire can't be the United States after World War II, at least it should be at least Tsarist Russia after the Napoleonic Wars, right?

If it's really just a force, and then at the cost of losing the strength of the empire, desperately working for the interests of the Britons or something...... The Empire is not a charity, so why should it do that?

So, it wasn't just the idea of the Britons fighting for the profit of the fishermen with the sandpipe, in fact the Empire also had the same idea.

It's just a slight difference that the current empire doesn't send the most suitable person to do this kind of thing, that is, William, to the front.

William is currently at home to deal with the internal affairs of the empire. There is no time for these things for the time being.

And if it comes to playing tricks, even if a hundred Freya are added together, I'm afraid that there is no Lady Maria on the other side who can play.

Therefore, what William said to her the most was not the words of the sandpiper and the clam competing for the profit of the fisherman. It's just that she is simply called "to preserve her strength".

If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle. And you must pay the money before giving the goods, and you must not let the other party empty the white wolf and say some "how we will be" white slips, and then let the empire help them fight to the death.

This is something that William absolutely cannot allow.

So, now that Freya listens to the other party's compliments, there is nothing else but hehe.

If you say what others say, forget it. But since it was her nephew William who said it, Freya naturally took it to heart, and took this matter as her own code of action.

"If I really want to conduct this war from a military point of view, I don't need you to talk at all. After the first to crush the opposing legion, my choice would not be to turn around and return to Rotterdam, but to attack the other Visigothic legion as fast as I could. It simply doesn't give them much chance to go on the defensive.

That's it, huh. ”

I have to say that Freya is indeed more brave and good at fighting than when she was younger.

At this moment, Madame Maria said a lot of things in one way or another, but her expression was cold from beginning to end. Not even Madame Mary could have imagined what she was thinking.

"My army needs a break. In fact, in the previous battle, my cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses. This is true both in terms of troops and materiel. So for a short time, the army of the empire had no ability to fight independently. ”

After waiting for Madame Maria to finish her compliments, and the strategic requirements, Freya replied very stiffly.

If it were someone else, maybe it would be a little better. However, Freya herself is not very good at talking.

Because of this, after she finished speaking, the scene suddenly became very embarrassing. Madame Maria laughed, laughing quite awkwardly, but in her heart she was desperately saying, "This barbarian who doesn't know how to measure!"

Naturally, Lady Maria thought it was time for negotiations.

Realizing that there was no way to use some cheap and worthless compliments, he pushed the Imperial army to fight hard. She put away this ambition for the time being. Then be prepared to test it a little.

However, Freya said directly: she was a little tired, so she stopped talking for the time being. Then he left on his own, without giving Lady Mary any face, which made Lady Mary hate in her heart.

That's where Freya is smarter - he knows he's not a good negotiator. If you use this or that metaphor, metaphor to negotiate something. The final result is still to be played by the other party.

In this case, if you want to bargain with the other party, you will definitely fall into the rhythm of the other party. At that time, it is likely that you will still suffer.

But if you make it clear in such a public setting, it gives the impression that the empire is very philistine, very vulgar - although it is true that it is. In other words, all the mature, successful, and normal rulers and politicians in this world understand this truth, and the actual preferences and benefits are real.

But to understand is to understand, but never to speak.

So Freya simply stopped the negotiation at this point, and then simply turned away.

Just a little bit more to give Maria a hint. Wait until the two sides are alone, and then pick out the words clearly. In this way, there will be no negative evaluation of the empire.

Mmmmmm In a sense, this is also a kind of cleverness.

"So, what do you want?"

In the background, or rather, in the small living room where there were only the two of them. In the absence of a third party at all, Madame Maria had no patience at all, and no hypocritical thoughts, but came up directly and asked Freya such a very important question.

"First of all, the resources needed by the Imperial army are borne by the Britons. Whether it's military spending, or food and grass, or other resources. Of course, Freya didn't mean to be polite to her, and as soon as she came up, she said what she wanted. (To be continued.) )
