Chapter 570: Operation Shalomanda Begins (Part 2)

<tent>

At the same time.

Britannia Empire, North, Avalon Fortress, Michael Knights Headquarters, Su Cheng's office.

Now Su Cheng and Willy, who are a little free, are playing chess.

Although Willy can play chess, his chess skills are really average and he is not Su Cheng's opponent at all.

Even when Su Cheng started to deliberately let him win, Willy was still defeated.

But neither of them cared much about the victory or defeat on the chessboard, they just played chess, killed time, and had fun.

Willy picked up a chess piece and was about to place it, and smiled at Su Cheng who was sitting opposite him:

"The 10,000 troops should have arrived at the temporary base at the foot of the Ligasos Mountains by now, and the Shalomanda operation has finally officially begun."

"You are wrong, Willy."

Su Cheng's mouth twitched, revealing a faint smile.

"As early as last month when I hosted a banquet for 32 mountain barbarian chiefs, the battle of Shalomanda had already begun."

After saying that, Su Cheng picked up a chess piece, dropped it with a "pop" sound, and continued:

"After seeing the overwhelming difference in strength between us and the Britannians, there may be no more than 5 tribes that have the courage to fight us."

"Captain, your strategy this time is really amazing." Willy admired from the bottom of his heart, "Before the official use of troops, first host a banquet for 32 tribal chiefs, let them see the power of us Britannians, and hit their self-confidence and courage."

"When the war starts, throw out attractive surrender conditions, and you can attract a large number of mountain barbarian tribes that dare not compete with us to surrender."

"One Without using any soldiers or shedding any blood, most of the Shanman's fighting power can be eliminated. Although the scale of the Shalomanda battle is not large, the exquisite arrangement and planning before the battle can also make this battle leave a strong mark in history! "

"It's not an exquisite plan." Su Cheng said modestly, "It's just some unconsidered tricks. I just hope Deng Jiaer can fight better this time. I have already reduced most of the Shanman's fighting power. If he still can't win beautifully, it would be a bit unreasonable."

"Ah, speaking of this." Willy hesitated, "Captain, you let Miss Deng Jiaer serve as the commander of the 10,000 Pingman army this time. Some people have complaints about your appointment this time..."

"Who has complaints?" Su Cheng asked.

"The commander of the 4th Army, Dale, and the commander of the 2nd Army, Samuel. The one who is most dissatisfied with this is Dale, because these 10,000 barbarian troops are from her 4th Army, so she should be the commander-in-chief of this barbarian army."

Willie paused for a moment.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, and after making up his mind, he continued:

"Dell also said that your appointment this time was biased, and you gave this opportunity to easily earn credit to your confidants."

Personally leading the army to destroy the mountain barbarians living in the Ligasos Mountains - such a small matter naturally does not require Su Cheng to do it himself.

There are many brave generals in the Knights of Michael, and there are no less than five people who can lead the army to go on an expedition. If Su Cheng has to trouble himself to do such a small matter, then Willy, Raymond, Deng Jiaer and the others can all resign collectively.

Su Cheng's role in this Shalomanda operation is mainly the chief planner, responsible for planning and formulating strategic plans. As for personally leading the army to wipe out the mountain barbarians who are stubbornly resisting and unwilling to surrender, such trivial matters are naturally done by his subordinates.

Through Su Cheng's banquet last month, after knowing the overwhelming gap between them and the Britannians, the tribes that still have the courage to fight against the Britannians must be a minority.

Su Cheng did not use a single soldier. After reducing most of the combat power of the mountain barbarians, Su Cheng felt that only 2,000 to 3,000 people were enough to deal with the remaining stubborn resistance. However, for the sake of safety, Su Cheng decided to send 10,000 people.

Su Cheng selected 10 battalions from the 11th Battalion of the 4th Army to the 20th Battalion to form the Pingman Corps.

The reason why these 10 battalions were organized into the Pingman Corps was because these 10 battalions were the first 10,000 recruits to the Michael Knights when they began the reconstruction work and began the large-scale recruitment last year.

The 10,000 recruits who had never seen blood and had the longest training time among all the recruits were sent out for training, so that these 10,000 recruits could see blood and experience what a battlefield is like.

It was less difficult and tragic to wipe out the mountain barbarians, which was just right for sending the recruits to train.

As for the position of the head coach of the 10,000 Pingman Corps, Su Cheng gave it to Deng Jiaer, who had followed him for more time than Willy's confidant.

This move by Su Cheng caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Many people felt that Su Cheng was partial.

The person who was most dissatisfied with this was Dale.

These 10,000 Pingman Corps were all her soldiers. Dale originally thought that she would be the head coach of this Pingman Corps, but it turned out that the little girl who usually had a weak presence and only performed well in last year's "Summer Wind" offensive was the head coach.

This made Dale very dissatisfied.

Willy originally thought that Su Cheng would be angry after learning that Dale said such rude words to him in private.

However, the facts revealed before Willy told him that he was wrong.

After learning from Willy's mouth that Dale complained in private that he favored Deng Jiaer, Su Cheng was not only not angry, but also chuckled a few times and joked:

"Is it partial to Deng Jiaer? I don't deny this."

"Huh?" Willy made a confused "Huh" sound.

"I am indeed partial to Deng Jiaer." Su Cheng admitted openly, "I just want to give Deng Jiaer more opportunities to make meritorious deeds so that she can gain more merit and fame."

"Deng Jiaer has great potential and great courage. During the 'Xia Feng' offensive last year, she dared to lead 5,000 cavalry into the enemy's depths. When I heard her battle plan, I was frightened. , How could there be such a bold person?”

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Willy nodded with deep understanding.

"When I learned about Miss Deng Jiaer's battle plan, I was shocked."

"Although Deng Jiaer is only a small person, her courage is extraordinary." Su Cheng said with a smile, "I am very optimistic about Deng Jiaer, so I want to vigorously cultivate Deng Jiaer. I believe that Deng Jiaer will be the best choice this time." He will not disappoint me, he will definitely deal with those mountain barbarians who are unwilling to surrender."

Knock knock knock!

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Yes!" The person who replied was Raymond.

With a strange expression on his face, Raymond entered Su Cheng's office.

"Captain," Raymond said, "There is an emergency..."

"An emergency? What emergency?"

"We have just received news. The central government announced to the world a few days ago that the Britannia Empire has formed an alliance with the grassland people in the Far East. Moreover, it has already formed an alliance with the grassland people as early as the beginning of this year."

"What?!" 2

Su Cheng and Willy shouted in unison.

The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to a different world
