There is nothing wrong with the Army's idea, even if you have nothing to do and wonder how the sow will go up the tree, as long as it does not affect others, it is not a problem, as for the most basic question of "whether it can be done", whether others believe it or not, the upper echelons of the Army believe that they can achieve a magnificent victory.

"My Wang Army's will to fight is the first in the world!"

"My Wang Jun's training level is the best in the world!"

"My Wang Army's combat experience is the best in the world!"

"I'm Charlemagne's best in the world in magical engineering!"

"I'm not specifically targeting anyone, what I want to say is that all of you here are spicy chicken!"

Of course, army generals and colonels who talk about this all day long think that they are omnipotent, and it is not surprising that they can do something that the monkeys on Monkey Mountain can't do. As soon as this arrogant mentality came into contact with the needs of the high-level factional struggle, a wonderful chemical reaction was immediately produced, and an unprecedented battle plan that was enough to become an example of "vicious fighting" and "foolish fighting" in military education was released, and thousands of soldiers were easily placed on the altar, ready to rush to the impregnable Siegfried Line to send their heads to death.

In order to smoothly implement the plan, they must first eliminate the obstruction and interference of the "peace faction" - the faction with Minerva as the core who advocates the start of peace talks as soon as possible with the great victory and Yu Wei.

Charlemagne, who had squandered resources on the war effort for a long time, was already under unprecedented financial pressure, and if he could not quickly reap the dividends of the war to fill the deficit, reintegrate resources into industry and commerce, and form a healthy and virtuous economic cycle. Don't bother with the pointy ears to do it, the country will be swallowed up by the deficit black hole that it has created. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the economic situation can be sustained, the strength of the defense force should still not be underestimated, and the loss of one or two bases is only a drop in the bucket for Alfheim. And in order to conquer a Saint-Dier base, Charlemagne almost poured the power of the country. The difference in strength between the two sides is clear at a glance. The only way to avoid the end of the country's demise is to start peace talks as soon as possible, even if it costs you.

Except for whether Yarfheim was willing to negotiate peace, the arguments and inferences of the peacemakers are generally correct. Especially in the current international situation, although the countries do not like Charlemagne, they also look at Alfheim with suspicion, and they are not happy with the prospect of an elven power after Charlemagne's demise. This was the impetus that had led to Albiang's private contact with Charlemagne. Now that Charlemagne is willing to take the initiative to reconcile, the countries that have been waiting for mediation will be eager to ask for a ceasefire and peace talks between the warring parties. At that time, whether Yalfheim wants it or not, he will have to accept the status quo.

The main battle faction of the aristocracy and the military knew all about this, and it was precisely because they knew this that they did everything in their power to oppose it.

As a hostile faction, it is a natural instinct to oppose the other party's claims, but this time it is not so simple, and the entanglement of interests involved is the source of the dispute.

It is foreseeable that after entering the peace talks, Alfheim will definitely take the reduction of the size of Charlemagne's army and the cession of territory as a precondition. It's a matter of life and death, and there's no room for compromise. On the other hand, in order to facilitate the smooth conclusion of a peace treaty and defeat political opponents, the peacemakers will certainly use major disarmament to cater to the other side, and under certain conditions, they will also exchange further disarmament for the other side to give up reparations and territorial claims.

It has dealt with political opponents, brokered peace talks, retained its position of power, and, incidentally, gained a reputation for ending wars and saving the country – all of which the military alone cannot tolerate. After that, a series of follow-up effects such as the placement of veterans, the deprivation of privileges, and the decline of the status of military personnel made military leaders shudder just thinking about it. The ensuing various autumn settlers and falling stones kept the nobles awake at night.

War must not stop, and countries that do not fight may get a respite, but soldiers and nobles who survive by war will die immediately. In any case, the war must go on, and if the flames of war are extinguished, then a new war will be rekindled and the next war will be launched. Next to war!!

The distractions of the peace faction must be eliminated, and they must not be allowed to extinguish the flames of war - the military and the bigwigs have reached an agreement and begun to work together.

In order to keep the war going, the peacemakers must be excluded, and in order to eliminate the peacemakers, they must first be excluded from their greatest pillars, the Third Lady and the Holy Maiden (the two can actually be regarded as one). This is an unavoidable syllogism, and it is also the root of the problem. As long as the Third Lady and the Holy Maiden issued an armistice declaration, with their prestige among the people, the main war faction could say that there was no way at all. Only by excluding these two first, no, as long as the Holy Maiden is excluded, things will be much simpler after that.

If it is an ordinary general, it can be resolved in accordance with the tradition of factional struggle, which is a change in personnel. It's really impossible to find a brainless hot-blooded red deer to go to Tianfu to punish the national thief, and just push it clean afterwards. Now she is facing the Holy Maiden of National Salvation, and she can't help but say that you group of red deer who haven't even won a small victory so far have gone to win a big victory and returned to save the country, scolding people as "national thieves" and "non-nationals", and you will be punished by heaven...... Believe it or not, the angry masses demolished the Army Headquarters building, dragged you red deer out, and tore them apart?

It's obviously not going to work, so let's take it another way, the kind that the army is good at.

The war maniacs, who were preoccupied with factional struggles and power struggles, never imagined that their thoughts and small private actions had long been mastered by the two groups of enemies. One group sent people to deal with the "rampaging generals" who were filled with guns and gunpowder, while the other group used their own ways to assist the red deer to "walk alone".

"Her Royal Highness. ”

Dressed as a maid, Miledi leaned down and whispered in Minerva's ear, and the former prime minister's most capable spy whispered:

"It's all settled. ”

For a moment, a haze flashed across Minerva's face, and soon the smile of the public ceremony returned to the girl's face, and with a slight nod, the female spy bowed back and quickly disappeared into the shuttle maids.

Make every effort to bring about peace talks - this is the proposition of the peacemakers, and it is also an open secret.

While most people were still basking in the good news of Saint-Dière, Roland, Minerva, most of the civilians and the rationalists of the navy had reached a consensus: now was the best time for peace talks, and it was the last chance, and if this opportunity was missed, it would be irretrievable.

Now that the international environment and atmosphere are conducive to peace talks, the start of peace talks at this moment can still reduce the losses to an acceptable minimum. Through a series of assessments, analyses, explanations, and communication, the members of the Peace Faction were also prepared to bear the loss and humiliation. The remaining question is how to prevent the obstruction and sabotage of the main fighters, and how to force Alfheim to the negotiating table.

The main war faction will inevitably obstruct it, and war is the soil for their survival, and it is also an important tool for them to get involved in and meddle in national affairs. The gap created by the end of the war was enough to drive them crazy, and with the Army's characteristic delusions of victimization, they were likely to imagine that they would be sacrificed at the negotiating table (many members of the Peace faction privately ridiculed that "the head of 10,000 Army red deer is not as good as a strand of hair in the eyes of a holy maiden"). The Army, which is bold and reckless and has many previous convictions of "going violent" and "going alone," will certainly do everything possible to sabotage the work of the upcoming peace talks, and judging from the current situation, the most likely means for them to adopt is undoubtedly what they are best at.

Since they knew that the army was holding back its heart and was going to make it bad, of course the peace faction would not stupidly wait for the red deer to do something bad. The spy monitoring agency left behind by the former prime minister closely monitored key personnel such as the Minister of War and the Army Education Director, as well as the "low-level abnormal elements." The "abnormal elements" were completely unaware of this from beginning to end, and did not even have the most basic sense of secrecy. Not only did they write down the so-called "program of action" in black and white, drew up a list of "uprising troops," but they also had frequent contact with the personnel of the General Staff, who were closely monitored. The so-called "secret discussions" were nothing more than using their free time to gather "men with lofty ideals" and "strong men" to go to restaurants, Fengyue places, and other places to eat and talk; there were no anti-reconnaissance methods common to underground activities, such as code words and passwords, in the small meetings where alcohol was simmering, and several mastermind officers even talked on the phone about how to "make a big news." As everyone knows, the telephone bureau has long been under the control of the peace faction, and all the telephone calls of the "abnormal elements" have been monitored and recorded. A group of red deer with no anti-reconnaissance ability can be invincible if they are so arrogant and making trouble under the noses of a group of professional agents?

While the agents were coming to arrest people with the lists, the red deer were still basking in the fantasy of success. The arrest process was generally smooth, with some resistance and some casualties. However, the hidden danger was finally solved before the most critical moment of the parade. If everyone is boiling for the sassy and heroic appearance of the holy girl, there are any "surprises" and "big news", it will really become a tiger riding trend.

(If the parade is stable until the end of the parade, peace will be preserved.) ）

Clenching her fists slightly, Minerva's heart rippled with stirring.

The next period of time may be very difficult, with all kinds of contradictions intensifying, thorny problems emerging one after another, and even having to bear the insults and contempt of other countries for the crime of "rashly provoking war". But as long as the country exists, the people of this land will remain Charlemagne's people, not slave laborers in the Alfheim factory farms, who are monitored by elven foremen, and whose lives are determined by stopwatches, whistles, and schedules. There will always be a day when the country will get back on its feet.

Roland and Minerva firmly believe that as long as they leave the seeds and soil behind, and take care of them, they will one day grow back into towering trees and dense forests. Today's patience will eventually lead to hope for the future, and they are convinced of it and are willing to do what they can to do it.

On the other side of the battle line, there are also those who strongly agree with this. In order to cut off the seeds of resistance, to bind the world line to a set track, and to ensure that the flames of war that had been ignited with great effort would not be extinguished in the middle of the process, they also took corresponding actions.
