Marseille walked briskly down the garden path, his mind flashing back to the conversations he had made.

"How is it possible to create a situation where the empire can't make a move and has to give up?!"

If it weren't for the fact that speaking too loudly might disturb others, Marseille would have almost jumped up and yelled, adding a comment of "Are you stupid?"

Three-year-old children know that if the empire decides to eliminate a terrorist organization, regardless of whether the other party has hostages in its hands or not, whether there are innocent people trapped in it, whether it will involve unrelated people, the empire will only use one attitude to deal with it. That is, no contact, no negotiation, no compromise, no evil, all the evil will be burned, and it is better to kill the wrong one than to let it go; whoever dares to make trouble will be killed, and the hostages? Civilians? Isn't it just a name on the death list? What, someone protested against inhumanity? who protested? stood up and tried? promised not to send him to the crematorium.

To get such an empire to abandon the encirclement that it was about to succeed once, perhaps it would be easier to let the sun come out of the west.

"Under normal circumstances, this is true, those chain dogs are completely a group of violent machines with straight line thinking, and their minds are full of how to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors and how to kill people more efficiently. They tend not to think deeply about issues that are too complex, and that is too difficult for them and unnecessary. ”

The "Nightingale" shook the glass, and the cup filled with Fanta and ice made a series of crunch sounds.

But this time it was an old fox with a lot of tricks in his head, and he knew better what was going on and what to do than the madmen who had gunpowder and gun oil under their skulls. This gives us a chance to give it a shot. ”

"Do you want to take the initiative? But doesn't that mean telling the other party that there's a magician here? No matter what turns out in the end, everyone here today will be listed as suspects, and as long as they are screened afterwards, they will definitely be exposed. ”

- Correct judgment.

The "Nightingale" has improved his evaluation of Marseille by a few points, and if he is able to organize the situation and analyze and predict the consequences of his actions in such an urgent situation, if he cultivates this talent, I don't know what kind of results will bear in the future.

But now, he lacks enough experience to look at the problem correctly and holistically.

"Just let the 'sirens' continue to search, whether it's us or you, it's only a matter of time before they are exposed. ”

At no time should the technological superiority of the Empire be underestimated, and the drastic changes it can bring to the battlefield - this is the lesson of "the One", and "Nightingale" has seen this time and again on the battlefield. No matter how hard an opponent tries to improve or adapt to changes in the battlefield, the Empire will always be able to invest in new technologies or tactics faster to establish an advantage on the battlefield.

This is true of the bloody battlefield, and the same is true of the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder is invisible.

The detailed performance parameters of the "Siren" are still unclear, but in the past few days, magicians belonging to different organizations have been "hunted" one after another, including several skilled veterans. From this point of view, the perception performance of the "siren" is quite superior, and if the deadlock cannot be broken early, exposure is an inevitable outcome.

In this kind of thing, there can be no luck.

"Solving the problem without exposing it is the best outcome, but it seems that it is clearly not going to be possible. In that case, at the very least, try to create a second-best state. ”

Exposure cannot be avoided in any case, so try to push back the exposure time.

As Marseille said, once the action begins, the other party will be sure that there is indeed a magician here. But as long as he tries to make it impossible for the other party to identify the object here, and there is no way to take the "disinfectant" action, the commander at the head will have to weigh the pros and cons, and think about continuing to maintain the stalemate and disgrace the empire, or stop before things get out of hand, and screen the suspects one by one from the list of people on the scene.

Even with the Imperial Social Order Guarantee Bureau, it is not easy to screen out magicians without knowing the number and characteristics. Taking the sirens to school, doing home visits, not only does it go back to the original problem, but it also takes up a lot of time, and it is likely that everything will be settled before they can sniff out the clues.

Of course, they can also choose to postpone the sports exchange to allow more time for the investigation. But the sudden postponement of the unjustified reason will not only cause confusion among the public, but also stimulate the sensitive nerves of some people. Those guys were already suspicious, and suddenly postponing the sports exchange meeting would definitely startle them, making them wonder if their small actions were mastered by the empire, and whether there was any trap hidden behind this sudden change. ”

"So they will never postpone the exchange meeting, so they can only grit their teeth and hold it as scheduled. ”

"Mockingbird" nodded, standing in the position of the Empire, because of the possible threat of changing the already established schedule, completely disrupting the entire plan, this kind of thing is really unimaginable. Empires, which have always admired efficiency and holistic planning, have no choice but to bite the bullet and stick to an established schedule.

That's true, but—

"All your inferences are based on the premise that the bluff operation will succeed and that the old fox outside will be frightened...... Honestly, it's gambling at all. ”

"Sanqi open...... No, it's a gamble of life and death. ”

Chance and necessity on the battlefield will be magnified to the maximum, even the slightest occasional factor, such as an erroneous telegram, a reconnaissance plane that fails to take off on time, a ditch that is not on the map, and a torpedo that is purely lucky, will greatly affect the direction of a battle, and even the development of a war. This has been examined countless times in history. To put it to the extreme, the war itself has a strong gambling flavor – a bloody gamble that stakes the fate of thousands of people and nations.

But war and battle are not gambling after all, and illusory factors such as luck and mental power can indeed help win a battle, or even a battle. However, there has never been a war won by luck, and the final decision of the war is necessarily a pure balance of power. The collapse of Charlemagne's kingdom has fully demonstrated this point, and the gambler's thinking is implemented at the national strategic level, hoping to seek hegemony and wealth by gambling on the fortune of the country, and the final outcome is to be overturned to the ground, and the land, people, wealth, glory, and history - all are occupied or divided, and the country itself and even the national title no longer exists.

Due to the bitter lessons of history, the "Freikorps" are full of disgust with any strategy and tactics that are tinged with gambling, and neither front-line field troops nor underground workers on the hidden front like to gamble on luck. Not to mention entrusting his life and the tasks entrusted by the organization to an outsider who has only met a few times to gamble.

Assuming that there is even a 1 in 10,000 chance, the "Nightingale", who does not have much affection for Marseille, will not make such a decision, and can only say that the form is so bad, either do nothing, wait to be found out, or simply commit suicide to keep secrets, or bet on Marseille's kindness to them and their own action, and pray that the opposite person is a bastard who can think rationally, and is not a madman with a mind full of "art is an explosion" and "bombs are the best thing in the world".

Who will win and lose will not be known until the moment the cup is revealed.

"It's almost time to notice it over there, it's life or death, it's all up to you. ”
