Realm of Power

On the hills beside the road, looking far ahead,

Under the radiance of the morning light, the wild grasses that burst out in the middle of the season were like a green ocean. Swept by the long wind, the grasslands and wild forests undulated like waves. Looking back from a distance, the fat man turned around and said: He issued an astonishing order: "The battle of marching eastward is over. Except for the southern army group that is still pursuing And Salton's Southern Second Army, Caesar Sauron's Army, and Salon's Army will stay on the spot! Count the loot and transport it back to Normandy, and make plans to withdraw gradually. ""Withdraw!" Your Majesty means that we will not launch the offensive for the time being! ?" A trace of dumbfounded surprise flashed across Hu Keqili's face, and it turned out to be an order to withdraw troops! His Majesty's order was like a sap blow to the two army commanders who were ambitious and eager to continue marching eastward. "This...I'm afraid it will..." Hu Keqili hesitated to speak, Hunter said. The Eagle Army has always placed emphasis on military exploits. Seeing them giving up the fat they already had in their mouths, I believe that the two military bosses are strongly dissatisfied. But this time the Central Army did not participate in the war, it is easy to give rise to a misunderstanding,

That was the sudden ceasefire order. In fact, it was because I complained in His Majesty’s ears. The corner of Hu Keqili’s mouth turned bitter. He had just adjusted to Palaven in the center of the continent, and he was envied by so many people. What if Two military bosses with high qualifications also focused their dissatisfaction on themselves. For the underachiever Hu Keqili, it was definitely a real pressure!

"Tell Salon and Caesar Sauron that this is my order." The fat man curled his lips slightly. He knew the nature of his men very well. This armistice order would probably make Caesar Sauron and Salon furious on the spot.

The fat man said, "Add a sentence to the order, war is just a continuation of political power! It is not just destruction and occupation. Don't let the appearance of war confuse your clear mind! I believe they understand the meaning of this sentence." "That's it, my subordinates understand!" A look of surprise appeared on Hu Keqili's face. The biggest nod, "Really? It seems that you have learned a lot in managing Palaven's affairs!" The fat man smiled happily and said, "Tell me, what do you think of the current war situation?" !”

"Don't dare!" Hu Keqili quickly lowered his head.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm just expressing my opinion!" The fat man paused for a moment. "I gave you the center of the continent, not to let you retire there! As a soldier of the empire, you should be more careful." Great goals and vision!”

"Since His Majesty requested it, I have no choice but to make a bold guess!" Hu Keqili shook his body, hesitated, and finally said cautiously, "I believe that the situation of our army is just like the wind of the wilderness sweeping across the earth. Although We have defeated Normandy and shocked several surrounding countries, but it is still unrealistic to think that our army can completely occupy these lands in a short time! "

The sound stopped, Hu Keqili glanced at the thoughtful Falcon, his forehead was already covered with thin beads of sweat nervously,

The fat man waved to him. means to continue,

Hu Keqili dared to say boldly, "Because I did not directly participate in the eastward march, my subordinates had the opportunity to see the overall situation of the entire campaign.

Please forgive me for speaking frankly. Our army marched eastward. Although we gained a stronghold in Normandy, the main force of the empire also swept through the countries surrounding Normandy like a strong wind, with the battle flag pointed. The enemy troops broke up and fled, and they fought for hundreds of miles from Nista to the San Lorenzo Dominion. "It made the entire northwest coast tremble," but this great situation is actually a bit worrying. When it comes to excitement, Hu Keqili's words changed, and his expression turned from excitement to caution, and he said, "

That is the most basic logistics problem. Although our army is advancing rapidly, the logistics is almost blank!

Normandy is already a wasteland, and a hundred thousand troops lack the most basic support. They may not feel anything in front of them, but when the military supplies are exhausted and the Gallic Empire's army presses on the border, where should our army go? ""Where to go? "That's a good thing to say." The fat man's eyes were bright, and he said with a slight smile, "Being able to say such disappointing words in a very good situation proves that I am not wrong about you." "Your Majesty..." Hu Ke Kili looked ashamed

The fat man said, "Look at the overall situation with a calm heart, not just a letter of good news that makes people feel that victory is within reach.

This is the most basic quality of being a good soldier of an empire, or as you said, if we continue to look at this situation, then we are really blowing the wind of the past,

Without population and production, it is just grass without roots, rising and falling with the wind."

The fat man turned his eyes to the vast wilderness in front of him, and said with emotion, "The earth is coming back, and the planting season will come soon. If this cold land continues to be so barren, in the next season, just a plague or famine will be enough. All our efforts were in vain!

Just one Normandy is enough for us to have a headache for a while. It will take us at least 2 to 5 months to sort out this place. It is unrealistic to start a full-scale war with the Gallic Empire now. Maintaining the current state of affairs is what is best for us. The situation of interests ""The army fights continuously and needs time to repair! It takes time to relocate people from the local area to restore local agricultural production! This series of things will seriously hold us back.

Compared to our limited army, it is simply impossible to defend the long border of about 800 miles from Niceta to the Autonomous Region of San Lorenzo.

So completely occupying the surrounding countries will only make us go to war with the Gaul Empire in advance."

"At the beginning, we were in a strategic passive position." The fat man paused and said in a domineering voice, "The long defense line and empty logistics will make us a lion with a heavy shell on its back.

Even a rabbit can easily attack us from any direction based on its local advantages.

There is another advantage of stopping now, that is, we don’t have to face the strength of the Gaul Empire directly in a short time.

These surrounding countries are our buffer zone. When we have an absolute advantage, the meaning of ordering the army to stay put is here.

I just want to tell these countries that I have no ambition for their land, but if someone doesn’t listen, I can also press him to the ground with one hand, so that he will never be able to turn over! "To be continued
