Chapter 199: Start the "Xia Feng" Offensive! (Middle)

June 2, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

9:46 am.

Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, the emperor's study.

"It seems that everyone is here."

Ge Zewen, who was sitting behind the long table, looked at the seven people standing in front of the long table and said in a light tone.

Among the seven people standing in front of the long table, Jacob was also there.

"Your Majesty," Jacob replied to Gozevin, "Everyone is here."

"Then, no more nonsense." Ge Zewen said seriously, "After all these years, everyone should know that I don't like to talk about opening remarks. Let's get straight to the main topic today."

"Yesterday morning, I gave an order to the seven of you to spend a day discussing and studying whether to continue to pursue the victory and launch the seventh large-scale offensive against the Luo Lin Empire."

"Now, one day has passed, and it's time to tell me the results of your research."

"So, what are your opinions? Should we continue to launch the seventh large-scale offensive against the Luolin Empire?"

As soon as Ge Zewen finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing next to Jacob took two steps forward, came to the front of the seven people at the table, and then said loudly:

"Your Majesty! The seven of us unanimously agree that we need to launch the seventh large-scale offensive against the Luolin Empire!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Ge Zewen said in a deep voice:

"Bancro, tell me the specific reasons you have researched."

The middle-aged man whom Go Zewen called Bancro was obviously well prepared. After hearing Go Zewen ask him the reason, he immediately talked about it:

"First, the 150,000-strong army at the southern frontline, which is confronting the Luolin Empire Army, has strong morale. The whole army is far from war-weary and exhausted. It is completely possible to use these 150,000-strong army to launch another major wave. A massive offensive!”

"Second, while Iser and Albert successfully defeated the northern defense line of the Rollin Empire, they also captured a large amount of baggage that the Rollin Empire intended to use to launch a major counterattack against our country in the spring."

"With these large amounts of captured baggage, as well as the remaining baggage from the 'Spring Awakening' offensive, it is completely enough to support another large-scale attack by an army of 150,000 people."

"Third, although the Luolin Empire has now given up its northern defense line and a large area of ​​northern territory, the Luolin Empire will never give up."

"If the Luolin Empire loses its northern defense line, then the northern part of the Luolin Empire will be undefendable."

"Our army will be able to march straight into the hinterland of the Luolin Empire and even hit their imperial capital. Therefore, as long as the top brass of the Luolin Empire still have some intelligence, they will never give up the northern defense line in vain."

"Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Luolin Empire launches a large-scale counterattack against us to retake the northern defense line. Since the war will start sooner or later, it might as well start the war now."

"Our army has just experienced a great victory, and its morale is high. The Luolin Empire Army has just experienced a great defeat, and its morale is taking a hit. Therefore, if the war starts now, the situation will be particularly beneficial to our country."

"The above are the three reasons why the seven of us decided to support the launch of the 'Seventh Offensive to the South'."

After listening to the long speech of the middle-aged man named Bancro, Gozevin leaned forward slightly, then put his right elbow on the table, and then supported his chin with his right palm.

His left hand rested casually on the table, and his left index finger tapped the table rhythmically.

——This is Gozevin’s habitual job.

When he starts to think, he will habitually tap his fingers on the table.

When the seven people, including Jacob, saw Go Zewen start knocking on the table, they knew that Go Zewen was starting to think, so they all closed their mouths obediently and waited quietly.

Waiting for Gozevin to finish thinking and start speaking.

After waiting for a long time, Ge Zewen said:

"So,

If the "Seventh Offensive to the South" is to be launched, how do you think the overall strategy of this offensive should be set? "

As soon as Ge Zewen finished speaking, the middle-aged man who just explained to Ge Zewen the reason for launching the new offensive, namely Bancro, immediately took two steps forward, came to the long table, and took out the The map he had prepared in advance was spread out on the long table in front of Ge Zewen.

While Bancro spread out the map, the other six people, including Jacob, also took a few steps forward and came to the long table.

——At this time, everyone in the study room gathered around the long table and looked at the map spread on the long table.

This map is naturally the map of the southern frontline of the Britannia Empire.

"Your Majesty, according to the information sent back by spies and scouts, there are currently nearly 250,000 Luo Lin troops, confronting our country's 150,000 soldiers of the Rachel Knights from the north and south."

As Bancro said, he took out 25 small white squares and placed them in the south of the map, and then took out 15 small black squares and placed them in the north of the 25 white squares.

These 25 white squares naturally represent the 250,000-strong army of the Rolin Empire, and these 15 black squares naturally represent the 150,000-strong army of the Britannia Empire.

"250,000?" Ge Zewen frowned, "Why so few? Since the northern defense line has been breached, in such a crisis, has the Luolin Empire only mobilized such a small number of troops? Logically speaking, if the Luolin Empire carried out If we call for general mobilization, we should be able to mobilize 500,000 troops."

"Your Majesty," Jacob replied this time, "according to the information sent back by the spies, the reason why the Luo Lin Army currently confronting our army is only 250,000 is because the troops deployed around and guarding the Imperial Capital are not Being transferred here.”

Speaking of this, Jacob paused and then continued:

"According to the information sent back by the spies, the Queen of the Luolin Empire refused to transfer the troops around the imperial capital for her own safety. The queen of the Luolin Empire even gave a fatal order: to defend the imperial capital, one unit None of them can be transferred."

After listening to Jacob's words, Ge Zewen couldn't help but sneer, and then said in a disdainful tone:

"The Queen of the Luolin Empire is really short-sighted. If the northern defense line is completely taken away by us, what's the use of deploying more troops in the imperial capital? Humph, but it's okay. The Queen of the Luolin Empire is so short-sighted, so it's better to You’ve done us a big favor. Keep explaining.”

"yes."

After Bancro said "yes", he continued:

"Now, the 250,000 troops of the Luolin Empire are urgently building a new line of defense to prevent our army from continuing to attack southward."

"Therefore, the new strategy we have formulated is to divide our 150,000-strong army into three armies! Three powerful knights will lead these three armies to launch a new offensive!"
