Chapter 1458: Conflicting Strategies

"Take the initiative? General Bowman, General Marceiu, it's easy for you to say that."

"Your strategy, to put it bluntly, is gambling."

"Bet that our army can defeat the army of the Holy Hiran Empire!"

"If our army can defeat the army of the Holy Hiran Empire, then everything will be easy!" New 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest PC version:

"But what if we can't defeat the Holy Hiran Empire's army?"

"What if not only are there no way to defeat the Holy Hiran Empire's army, but a large amount of already valuable military power is lost?"

"According to my guess, the Central Committee of the Holy Hiran Empire will definitely send their most dazzling new star, Marshal El Bernard, to be fully responsible for the war against our country."

"That means that the new force under Marshal El Bernard will be engaged in the war with us."

"We are extremely short of information about the new force under Marshal El Bernard."

"How on earth they fought, how on earth we should confront this new force - we don't know any of these issues."

"We only know that this new force under El Bernard's command is powerful and will defeat the grassland people."

"In the absence of information about this new force, General Bowman, General Marceiu, tell me - how can we defeat the Hiran Army?"

As soon as Allen finished speaking, Rudolf von Baumann responded not to be outdone:

"General Jones, isn't the strategy you proposed yourself just a gamble?"

"Bet that we can rely on Bailu City to block the siege of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army."

"Can you guarantee that we will be able to defend Bailu when faced with the siege of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army at the same time?"

"Hmph!" Allen snorted coldly, "Even if my strategy is a gamble, it is much safer than yours!"

"Sure?" It was Erich who answered, "You civilian! Stop talking nonsense! I don't see how your strategy is any safer than ours!"

As soon as Eric finished speaking, he shut his mouth abruptly.

The reason why he quickly shut up was because he knew that he had just made a mistake.

Sure enough, after Erich finished what he just said, Shade's brows immediately knitted.

"General Marceiu! Please don't say anything like what you just said again."

Shade said with a serious face.

"Alan is now a noble. He is no longer a commoner."

"...Yes." Eric nodded with an uncertain expression.

Looking at the three generals in front of him, Xia De sighed lightly.

For the sake of harmony among the generals, Xia De was also troubled.

Shade made an exception and made Allen a nobleman-his move actually caused dissatisfaction among many nobles.

After all, the canonization of common people as nobles - this kind of thing has been rare since the founding of the Frank Empire and can be counted on one hand.

So - even though Allen is now a noble and has the word "Feng" in his name, there are still quite a few nobles who don't like Allen.

In the past, when Allen was a civilian, many people disliked Allen.

And now,

These people are even more displeased with Allen who has become a noble.

Take the two generals Rudolf and Erich for example.

Although both their tone and the way they spoke were full of deep discrimination against Allen.

In order to correct everyone's discrimination against Allen, Shade thought of many ways and tried a lot of efforts.

But all with little success.

According to Shade's estimation, it would take decades to correct everyone's attitude towards Allen... no, rather - to correct the discrimination between the nobles and the common people.

After scolding Eric slightly, Shade turned his attention to the discussion just now.

The strategy proposed by Allen is to use scorched-earth operations on both the northern and western fronts, concentrating all troops and supplies in Belleau City, and conducting a protracted battle with the coalition forces of the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hiran Empire in Belleau City. , bringing down the supply lines of the two countries and two armies.

The strategy proposed by Rudolf and Erich was to use scorched earth operations on the western front and take the initiative on the northern front. After having a decisive battle with Hiran's army in the field and repelling Hiran's army, they then relied on the fortified city of Bellou to engage in a protracted battle with the Britannia army and wear down the supplies of the Britannia army.

Both strategies have their own reasonable basis.

However, both strategies also have their own shortcomings.

Allen's strategy has no way to guarantee that their Frank army will be able to defend Bailu under the siege of the two countries' coalition forces.

If Bailu cannot be defended, there will be no possibility of protracted fighting.

Rudolf and Erich's strategy had no way to guarantee that their Frank army would be able to repel Hiran's army in the wild.

If there is no way to repel the Hiran army, it will backfire on the Frank army itself, making their already bad situation even worse.

Shade was confused.

It's really confusing.

I don’t know which strategy to adopt.

Allen and others also knew that it was pointless for them to argue there.

In the end, Shade still had to make his own choices and decisions.

They are now stating their own opinions and pointing out the shortcomings of the other side's opinions.

Having done everything they should do, they stared at Shade quietly.

Waiting for Shade's decision.

After thinking for a long time and still not making up his mind, Xia De decided to think about it another day.

After sighing softly, Shade said:

"This matter... it's really hard to make up my mind... Let me think about it later..."

Before Shade finished speaking, Prime Minister Erwin suddenly coughed softly.

"Your Majesty. Please make up your mind today, now."

Erwin said seriously.

"The current situation in our country is extremely urgent."

"The Britannia Empire and the Holy Hiran Empire will attack us no matter when in the future!"

"So we need to finalize a plan to meet the enemy as soon as possible! Prepare as soon as possible!"

"This way you won't miss the opportunity!"

"This can make our country's chances of winning as high as possible!"

After hearing Erwin's advice, Shade was silent for a while.

"Oh... you are right..."

Then, he accepted Erwin’s advice.

Shade raised his eyes and looked at Allen.

Then it was Rudolf and Erich again.

After pondering for an unknown amount of time, Xia De finally took a deep breath again, and then slowly exhaled it.

"...Adopt the strategy of 'fighting in scorched earth on the western front and taking the initiative on the northern front'!"

After a fierce ideological struggle, Xia De no longer had any hesitation or confusion on his face.

Said this in a sonorous and powerful tone.

Hearing that His Majesty adopted their strategy, both Rudolf and Erich's faces showed joy.

On the other hand, Allen, although he concealed it, still had a bit of loneliness flashing in his eyes.
