Chapter 592 The Art of ‘War’
"The situation of insufficient troops is right in front of us. No matter how fast we speed up, people cannot be born and grow up overnight, and our reserves cannot immediately go into battle to attack the enemy-"
Even though Sean's big hand has always been dishonest, Bai Ye did not lose his calm judgment and directly rejected Sean's proposal.
Sean just raised his eyebrows, put his hand into Bai Ye's clothes, and turned the "steering wheel" in the familiar way between the two of them.
Seeing the slightly resentful look in the other party's eyes, he said cheerfully: "Isn't this simple? All the current soldiers have been formed into a new army, and the cooking classes have also joined together. As for logistics, they can be directly requisitioned from the city, as long as If there are still people at home, they will be forced to join the army. It doesn’t matter if they don’t know how to fight, as long as they can cook and deliver supplies.”
Bai Ye struggled twice but couldn't get the other party to let go of his "steering wheel", so he had no choice but to say: "You still don't understand the situation in the imperial capital. If I force civilians to join the army, don't talk about me. I am respected by thousands of people." Even if my father comes back, the city will be in chaos the next day."
"Besides, your new army has no cooperation and no organization. After going into battle, I'm afraid it won't even be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Our army will disperse on its own without the other party taking action."
Sean sighed and shook his head: "You always make things complicated."
Bai Ye was a little unconvinced: "This doesn't mean making things complicated, it means doing what you say, and what I say will definitely happen!"
Sean blinked at her: "But what if I said that war is fleeting?"
Bai Ye was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What are the advantages of the Empire?" Sean asked.
Bai Ye said habitually: "Of course it's the strong national power, the huge territory and..."
Sean interrupted her directly, then pointed at himself and then at her: "No, it's you, it's me, and my godfather Bai Youming - of course, Lao Bai is out for a walk now, It doesn’t count for now, but others don’t know.”
Bai Ye was a little sluggish, and Xiao En mentioned her blind spot in military leadership.
Sean said slowly: "Theoretically, it's useless even if you and I kill the enemy like crazy on the battlefield, because our team is too weak. Throughout the ages, 20% casualties can improve the morale of a mature army. The chaos will lead to a direct loss of combat effectiveness, and the current imperial army, even with that group of veterans, only needs 10% casualties to declare a bombing of the camp. "
"Indeed." Bai Ye did not refute.
Sean continued: "The role of high-end combat power at this time is far less than imagined. Your concerns are fine - but you are still wrong. Who said we are going to face the enemy head-on?"
Bai Ye was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Sean spoke without hesitation: "Our army can't fight head-on, but it can always pick up the slack, right? The other party's army has become more organized, and the prerequisite is that all officers are at their posts, right?"
Bai Ye exclaimed: "You want to directly deal with the other party's leadership first?"
Sean was dissatisfied: "Hey, how can you say that? Of course you and I will have some secret negotiations with the other party first, and then kill them all."
Bai Ye: "..."
What's the difference between that and what I said!
Bai Ye frowned: "This can't be done. The battle between the two countries is about being upright. It doesn't mean that the tactics must require the two armies to confront each other head-on. However, if before that..."
Sean reached out and grabbed the steering wheel. Bai Ye exclaimed and looked at him angrily.
Sean looked indifferent: "What kind of respect does a big country care about at this time? Besides, face is given by yourself - the people in your empire are indeed stubborn in this regard, and I don't blame you."
"Are you still blaming me? Take your hand away!" Bai Ye said angrily.
Sean didn't even move his hand: "Dream - you think too much. If it weren't for the purpose of boosting military morale and convincing the entire empire, I wouldn't have resorted to such methods. What do you think I'm doing by asking you to bring people with you?" ? Fight? No, of course to witness the great victory of the empire!"
He leaned into Bai Ye's ear and whispered a few words. The expression in Bai Ye's eyes kept changing, and after he finished speaking, he looked over with confusion.
"Is this...appropriate?"
Sean said proudly: "It's suitable, it's so suitable."
Bai Ye was obviously moved, because the method Sean said seemed really simple... The confidence of the Imperial Army and Imperial residents could also be enhanced unprecedentedly.
However, the opponent is very important...
"Who to choose?" Bai Ye finally spoke.
Sean licked his lips excitedly and pointed to the strategic map in front of him: "Let's pick the one closest to us."
…
"According to imperial law, if there are more than two males in the family, one male must accompany the army!"
At the door of the simple house, the heavily armed Imperial Army was scolding seriously.
Inside the house, a family of three were looking at that scene in horror. After a moment, the woman tremblingly stepped forward and knelt down: "Master Jun, there are only three of us left in our family. My husband was seriously injured and paralyzed. He, he has nothing." I can’t do it… My son is only fifteen years old, and our family has to rely on him to work to support us!”
In front of the window, the middle-aged man paralyzed in bed looked gloomy, and the childish boy bit his lips.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The Imperial Army pushed the woman away impatiently and threw down a bag of grain: "This is a reward for joining the army. It's not like your son has to work for his life. He just needs to do some logistical work with the army."
The woman hugged the soldier's thigh tightly with tears. There were originally six people in her family. Half of them went there directly after the Imperial Capital Incident. She didn't believe that they were only doing logistics, so she just begged them not to take her son away.
The Imperial Army was a little annoyed. He pushed the woman away and looked at the boy in the house: "That boy, are you going to leave? If not, I won't be polite!"
Seeing the sudden change in the soldier's expression, Rayleigh ran over to help his mother up. He tried to plead: "Sir, I..."
The soldier interrupted without hesitation, his eyes cold: "I'm already very polite, I'll count to three... three, two..."
"I'll go! I'll go!" Rayleigh finally gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
His mother hugged him and cried: "You can't go! You must not go!"
"Mom, there's no way..."
Rayleigh followed the soldier out of his home with a gloomy face. Only his crying mother and paralyzed father were left in the house.
He looked up blankly, and saw that men were coming out of other houses one after another, and their expressions were the same as his...
Rayley gritted his teeth, his face full of reluctance.
The Queen has only been on the throne for a few days, and for the sake of war, she doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all...
My parents and I thought that the Queen would be the next wise ruler a few days ago...
Pooh! All emperors are the same! Who cares about the lives of these people!
