Chapter 817: Dispatching Allen and Enli
"Since the establishment of the Uriel Knights, the soldiers of the Uriel Knights have not been on the battlefield many times."
Ilsa then said loudly to the group of important officials in front of her.
"No matter how much training they do on the training ground, a troop that has not been tempered on the battlefield will not be able to develop strong combat power."
"So I plan to take this opportunity to train the Uriel Knights. Transfer 40,000 troops from the Uriel Knights to the north to support the Michael Knights."
"The 'Aurora' offensive will be led by the 120,000 troops of the Michael Knights and the 40,000 troops of the Uriel Knights."
What Ilsa said makes sense.
It is not enough for the army to stay on the training ground to train, they must go to the battlefield to be tempered by the fire of war.
Since the establishment of the Uriel Knights, the 150,000 troops of the Uriel Knights have rarely been on the battlefield.
The only record of the Uriel Knights' current battle was in 291, when they went to the west to quell the banditry in the west under the command of Allen and Enli.
Such a "poor" battle record really makes people worry about the combat effectiveness of the Uriel Knights.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, letting the Uriel Knights' troops go north to participate in the "Aurora" offensive is also a great opportunity to train troops.
Therefore, after listening to what Ilsa said just now, Jacob, who agreed with Ilsa's decision, couldn't help but nod his head slightly.
Then at this moment, Ilsa suddenly continued:
"I plan to let the Four Imperial Knights Allen and the Fanlan Knight Enli lead the 40,000 Uriel Knights' troops to the north to help the Michael Knights, and by the way, let Allen's armored warriors also participate in the battle."
"Alan?" Jacob exclaimed.
"That's right." Ilsa nodded. "Alan is a rare and excellent commander. If he stays in the imperial capital to train troops, it would be a waste of his talent."
"Enli is also a leader among the younger generation. It would be a waste of his talent to keep him in the imperial capital."
"I can't bear to see their talents wasted, so I plan to let them participate in this "Aurora" offensive."
Jacob had no objection to letting Enli participate in the "Aurora" offensive.
Although Enli has many flaws in his character, overall, he is still an excellent talent worthy of being entrusted with important tasks, trustworthy and cultivated.
But Jacob had an opinion on letting Allen participate in the "Aurora" offensive.
Alan is a surrendered general from the Frankish Empire.
Jacob has always disliked Allen and thinks Allen is weird.
Although he can't say what's weird about him, he just thinks Allen is not trustworthy.
So Jacob has never liked Allen.
Jacob even wanted to make trouble for Allen.
But since Allen surrendered to the Britannia Empire, he has always been very low-key and never done anything out of line, so even if Jacob wanted to make trouble for Allen, he couldn't find Allen's handle.
The Ironclad Warriors are stationed in a secret military base near the imperial capital, and Allen, the commander of these 4,000 Ironclad Warriors, naturally has been training in this secret military base.
Allen is really too low-key, too well-behaved, and too dedicated.
He has been training in this military base, and at least 25 days a month, he has been training in this military base.
Because Allen is too low-key, when they heard that Ilsa planned to send Allen to participate in the "Aurora" offensive, many people present were stunned and recalled who Allen was.
"Your Majesty." Jacob frowned and said, "Is it not appropriate to let Allen participate in the "Aurora" offensive?"
"What's inappropriate?" Ilsa replied in a tough tone, "Isn't Allen a knight of our empire? Since he is a knight of our empire, why can't Allen be allowed to participate in the war?"
"And Allen is not an incompetent and useless mediocre person, right?"
"That's right, but..." Jacob opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
But after thinking for a long time, Jacob suddenly seemed to have figured something out, sighed lightly, and closed his mouth.
"...I know." Jacob said in a deep voice, "Then let Allen participate in the war."
...
...
Ilsa summoned all the important officials to inform them that she planned to let the Uriel Knights, the Armored Warriors, Allen, and Enli participate in the "Aurora" offensive.
Now that the news has been successfully informed to everyone, the meeting will naturally end. Ilsa left the study, and Jacob and others also went home.
When Jacob was walking on the road to leave Baiyang Palace, a familiar old voice sounded behind him and called him.
"Jacob!"
Jacob turned around to follow the voice.
The owner of this old voice was Bankro.
Bankro walked quickly to Jacob's side and walked side by side with Jacob.
Bankro looked around and made sure that there was no one else around. Then, Bankro lowered his voice and said:
"Sir Jacob, His Majesty doesn't seem to be the innocent little girl anymore..."
"...Yes." Jacob said in a deep voice, "His Majesty has learned to be careful with us and learn to cultivate his own power."
What outstanding people Jacob and Bankro are. In the meeting that just ended, Jacob and Bankro saw at a glance that Ilsa was different from before.
"Alan and Enli are 'neutral' people, not members of any political force, and are perfect targets for winning over. "
Jacob continued in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty is planning to train Alan and Enli as her confidants, and then let confidants like Alan and Enli take over the Uriel Knights, making the Uriel Knights a military force that is absolutely loyal to her."
The Uriel Knights have not yet established a leader or deputy leader due to many reasons such as the short time of their establishment and the lack of urgency of the surrounding wars.
In the meeting just now, Jacob had already seen what Ilsa was going to do.
Ilsa planned to reuse "neutral" people like Alan and Enli and slowly train them to be her confidants.
After training them to be her confidants, she will let them take over the Uriel Knights, which has not yet established a leader or deputy leader, and turn the Uriel Knights into a military force loyal to her.
In addition to the Uriel Knights, Ilsa seems to be planning to make the 4,000 armored warriors also become troops loyal to her and support her.
The reason why the Uriel Knights and the Armored Warriors also participated in the "Aurora" offensive was just to strengthen the combat effectiveness of these two troops that she would firmly control in the future.
Ilsa now intends to cultivate her own "military officer power", so it is not far from her cultivating her own "civilian officer power".
Ilsa used to look innocent, but now she wants to cultivate her own power.
Her sudden change made Jacob frown.
