"Tell me everything, stop pretending to be dumb!"
After maintaining silence in the hall for several minutes, Torreya also sighed slightly, came back from his thoughts, and then looked around at the ministers below.
"Your Majesty, although we suffered a great loss, the heretics also made a fatal mistake!"
"Oh? What's the mistake?"
"Now the pagan fleet has left the Kosha Realm. If we ignore their fleet now and move forward directly."
"You mean to use the advantages of cross-border technology to directly get rid of the pagan fleet and enter its territory?"
"Your Majesty is wise. At this moment, all the pagan troops are dispatched, and the territory should be almost undefended!"
"madness!!!"
Hearing Torrea's scolding, the minister who had just spoken was instantly confused.
This is obviously a great idea, so why is it so stupid
"You don't understand, do you?"
"Then let me explain it to you!"
"Let me ask you, what will the army do after they enter the territory of the pagans?"
Looking at the minister, Torrea asked.
"Purge the heretics completely, Your Majesty!"
"You also know that it is to completely cleanse the heretics? Then let me ask you again, how long does it take to completely cleanse a black community?"
"Based on the size of the Black Cavity World and the current size of our fleet, this time should range from 2 to 5 years!"
Without thinking much, the minister answered directly.
"Do you also know that it will take 2-5 years? You haven't even finished killing one of them, and the army of infidels has already caught up with you. So you have been doing it for so long just to kill half of them, not even half of them. Qianjie?"
"Also, if you leave the other side behind, what's the difference between that and cutting off our own supply lines?"
"Or do you think we can defeat all the black communities in the pagan territory at once without any supplies?"
"Will you tell me when you get there?"
Yes, the most important issue here is supplies.
On the surface, you seem to be smart, leaving the enemy behind and heading straight for their lair.
But actually
This is tantamount to letting others destroy their own supply lines.
And, as Torrea said, what's the point of fighting into pagan territory now
Thorough cleaning
Assuming that each black community takes 2-5 years, how many black communities can you clean up before the infidels catch up
So, while cutting off his own supply line, he was doing useless work, and in the end he still had to fight for the main fleet of the pagans, and he still fought with the supply line completely cut off
Isn’t this just cheating yourself
"Your Majesty, we can leave part of the legion to fight the infidels, while using the other part of the legion to enter the territory of the infidels and launch a great purge!"
At this time, another minister said.
However, Torrea still shook his head.
"If our 7,000 legions are intact, we can indeed do this, but now we have lost 3,180 legions!"
"Tell me, of the more than 3,000 remaining legions, how many do you want to keep? How many do you want to arrange to cleanse the infidel territory?"
"If you leave two thousand legions, you will not necessarily defeat the infidels. Instead, you will give the infidels a chance to divide and annihilate them. Leave 3,000? With those hundreds of legions, you will be sure to completely cleanse them. Lair?"
Hearing this, the minister who spoke was immediately stunned.
seemingly
This is indeed the case!
Today, there are only more than 3,000 legions of the imperial army left, while there are 1,600 pagans.
Leave part of the fleet to continue fighting against the infidels, and then use the other part of the fleet to directly attack their lair
On the surface, it looks very clever, but in fact, doesn't it mean that you just give up your advantage in military strength
If there are too few troops left and are defeated by the heretics, it may directly lead to a situation where the empire loses everything.
In the same way, if there are more troops left, there will be fewer troops responsible for cleaning the base of the infidels.
In short, in one sentence, the empire's military strength is no longer enough to support such a battle!
"Okay, stop talking, each one is worse than the other!"
"The headquarters fleet sets off for the Kousha Realm, joins the five fleets that have arrived, and then stands ready!"
Torrea, who was already a little impatient, gave the order directly.
But many ministers couldn't understand this order.
Didn't His Majesty say before that we can't put the pagan fleet behind us and let it destroy the supply line
But now, if all the generals gather in the Kosha Realm, wouldn't they just give up the route to the rear
Isn't this contradictory
Looking at the expressions of the ministers below, Torrea certainly understood what they were thinking.
Doesn't he know this
No, he knew it.
But he also knew that if he didn't deny it, the other party would not receive it either.
Therefore, as long as you firmly occupy the Kosha Realm, the initiative will always be with you.
Therefore, this is a conspiracy to force the other party to take the initiative to fight!
Now Torreya has figured it out. He doesn't have to be the offensive one. What's wrong with being the defensive one
You know, you can no longer afford another defeat—
The command center where Lin Fan was located.
"Marshal, through cross-border scanning, we found that the opponent's main force is leaving the original Black Cavity Realm. It is speculated that it should be heading to the Kousha Realm to join the fleet arriving from the fifth route."
"According to the analysis of our staff, the Norea Empire may take advantage of the current situation and ignore us and attack directly within the alliance's territory."
Liang Xue said while looking at the documents uploaded from the terminal.
And this was what Montero was worried about at the beginning.
Although the successful reverse shuttle tactic can directly destroy a large number of Norea fleets, the Alliance army will also lose a favorable strategic fulcrum.
At this time, if the opponent gives up fighting the main force of the alliance and instead directly enters the alliance territory, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, Lin Fan didn't seem worried about this.
"It doesn't matter, the opponent won't make this move. Even if he does make this move, I can still do it!"
"What about us now?"
"All fleets will stand still and wait for orders. Let's see how the Norea Empire acts after the fleet gathers together!"
"clear!"
—
Federal calendar year 1855.
More than 3,900 legions of the Norea Empire have successfully gathered in the Kosa realm.
However, they did not directly attack the alliance territory as the alliance staff or Montero feared.
Rather
Just like that, he settled down in the Kousha world.
Tolia thought very clearly that his own strength was still more than twice that of the opponent. As long as he did not attack rashly, there was no possibility of defeat.
The rest depends on who can hold it back!
So, the long confrontation
here we go!
However, this confrontation is destined not to last long.
Because the opportunity Lin Fan needs will only take a few years.
will appear!
