Chapter 702 [Northern Great Rotation] Under the Battle
After receiving a joint letter from Su Cheng and Humphrey, the central government attaches great importance to it.
After receiving and reviewing Su Cheng's combat plan for the "Northern Slalom" campaign, Ilsa and Jacob immediately convened a meeting and convened important officials to discuss the matter.
Ilsa's study (the original study of Gozevin), Jacob, Bancrot and other important officials gathered together.
These important officials gathered in Ilsa's study have read the combat plan for the "Northern Kingdom Slide" battle formulated by Su Cheng, and also read the joint letter from Su Cheng and Humphrey who begged the Central Committee to pass this battle.
The reason why they are here today is to discuss whether to pass Su Cheng's battle.
At the beginning of the meeting, Jacob directly expressed his support for the "Northern Great Slide" operation and supported Su Cheng to carry out this operation.
In addition to Jacob, other important officials expressed their support.
For example: Bancrolo, who is the chief diplomatic officer and military staff.
Bancrot is an outstanding talent who is both knowledgeable in diplomacy and military affairs. He is one of the only experts who are familiar with military affairs among these people present.
After reading the combat plan for the "Northern Slalom" formulated and compiled by Su Cheng, Bancro praised the combat plan very much.
Although the combat plan seems very bold and risky, it is not without feasibility.
Bancroo was even more surprised and admired Su Cheng's idea of joining forces with the army.
The mainland countries have never cared about the construction of maritime boundaries and coastal defense, and have no sense of maritime power, and have never thought of using navies to attack other countries across the sea.
In the eyes of people today, Su Cheng's strategy of "the navy and army joining forces to attack other countries across the sea" is really ahead of schedule and bolder than they imagined.
Even a military-friendly person like Bancrot, after reading the combat plan for the "Northern Slope" operation, was still shocked by Su Cheng's bold idea of "cross-sea surprise attack" so much that his chin could not close for a long time.
However, although a group of important officials led by Jacob and Bancrore supported the battle, some did not support it and even strongly opposed it.
For example: the empire's chief financial officer - Yalfreid.
In the study, another group of important officials led by Yalfreed did not support this battle.
Yalfret was not only the chief financial officer of the empire, but also a member of the "Galites" and a staunch supporter of Gael.
Even though Ilsa has been ascended to the throne for several months, Yalfreid's idea has not changed until now, and she insists that the new emperor of the empire should be made by Gael.
The reason why Yalfreid opposes this battle is actually to suppress the "Queen Sect".
If you can reach the high position of the chief financial officer, Yalfreid will naturally not be a dull fool.
The joint letter jointly written by Su Cheng and Humphrey that begged the Central Committee to use this operation sounds nice.
What I said is that I hope this battle will be passed is to achieve success in one battle and weaken the threat to the empire by the Holy Hillan Empire.
Yalfreid would not be so stupid, and would believe Su Cheng's high-sounding words!
In order to weaken the threat from the Holy Hillan Empire to the empire? This is probably just one of the reasons.
Yalfreud dared to conclude that there was a considerable reason why Su Cheng formulated this combat plan and begged the central government to pass this combat, which was to increase the voice of the "Empress Sect" in the empire in one breath!
All fools know that Su Cheng is a firm supporter of the "Queen Sect".
Su Cheng was promoted by Jacob and was as close as a father and son to Jacob. Su Cheng had also been the queen's teacher and had a deep relationship with the queen.
At this critical moment when the Empress had just ascended the throne, as a core member of the "Empress Sect", if one can achieve great achievements that are enough to shake the past and present, it will greatly enhance the prestige of the "Empress Sect" in the empire and greatly enhance the discourse power of the "Empress Sect" in the empire.
If you defend the Avalon Fortress and successfully block the invasion of the Holy Hillan Empire, it will certainly be a great achievement, but this achievement is not great enough.
Such achievements are not enough to greatly enhance the voice of the "Empress Sect".
And if we can take down the Muhavits Fortress and wipe out the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Eghar Corridor - such great achievements will be worth it!
If this battle is passed and Su Cheng can make this battle successful, the prestige and voice of the "Queen Sect" will be able to overwhelm the "Galite Sect" in one breath, and it will be the kind that will be suppressed!
Yalfreud was sure that Jacob must have understood Su Cheng's intention to draft this battle, so he spared no effort to support this battle.
As a member of the "Galites", Alfrett naturally would not let Jacob and Su Cheng succeed in this plan.
"His Majesty."
Ilsa, who was sitting behind the desk, said seriously:
"The combat plan of Commander Cheng is to expand the scope and scale of the war."
"We should not expand this battle further."
"The Holy Hillan Empire invaded the south - we just need to block their invasion, and we don't have to spend so much money and food to launch a counterattack."
As soon as Alfred finished speaking, Jacob on the side sneered:
"Your Excellency Alphrede, your official's idea is too short-sighted, right?"
"If we cannot attack the Holy Hillan Empire, the Holy Hillan Empire will send troops to invade us again and again."
"Defense is the most wasteful act of defending."
"Two years ago, the two offensives of 'Spring Awakening' and 'Summer Feng' weakened the Luolin Empire in one breath. Since then, the south of the empire has been peaceful and there is no threat from external enemies. This will continue to be peaceful for a long time in the future."
"The counterattack against the North is to avoid facing the invasion of the North in the future!"
"Hmph, Your Excellency Jacob, your official said it nicely." Alfrettacked Jacob, "and always said what would win, what would happen if you win, but did your official think about what would happen if you lose?"
"Although the officials do not understand military affairs, they can also see that the risk of this operation is very high!"
"My country has never tried a land-based navy, and the navy has joined forces! And even more so, it has never tried a cross-sea surprise attack!"
"If most of the troops of the Knights of Michael are to be invested in the cross-sea attack on the Holy Hillan Empire, what will happen if the battle fails? Have you ever thought about it?"
"If the battle fails, the Knights of Michael are likely to lose most of their troops!"
"The Michael Knights, which were finally rebuilt, will be disabled again! There will be major loopholes in the northern front!"
"His Excellency Jacob! While immersed in the fantasy of victory, please be awake occasionally! Consider the consequences of defeat!"
As soon as Alfreid finished speaking, Bancrore refuted:
"His Excellency Alphrede, there is no 100% successful strategy and combat plan in this world! Xiaguan believes that the combat plan of the "Northern Kingdom Slide" by Commander Cheng is completely feasible!"
...
...
In the study, there were big quarrels between the "supporting combat factions" and the "opposing combat factions".
The two factions of people faced each other, had their own reasons for support or opposition, and had a reasonable and could not tell who was right for a while.
Ilsa, sitting behind the desk, looked at the important officials who were quarreling in front of her.
——Ah... Why do I always feel that I am dispensable...
After entering the study and starting the discussion, these important officials basically left her aside and quarreled with others on their own.
Almost no one paid attention to her except Jacob.
Because the "talk" was too fierce, Jacob actually didn't pay much attention to Ilsa.
Ilsa felt like she was dispensable.
