Chapter 1506 All the Troops Are Needed
"The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to a different world ()" Find the latest chapter!
Su Cheng's words instantly froze the expressions of everyone in the conference room - including Ilsa.
After Su Cheng finished speaking, the smile on Ilsa's face immediately froze, and she looked so funny.
"Uh... Commander Cheng..." Ilsa asked again with a slightly puzzled tone, "You said... we need all the... troops in our country?"
"That's right." Su Cheng nodded without thinking.
After a pause, he said softly:
"Years of foreign campaigns have caused varying degrees of depletion in the military strength of the three major knights except the National Imperial Seal Knights."
"Although new troops are being added all the time, the total military strength of the three major knights has not reached its peak level."
"The current total military strength of the Knights of Michael is about 100,000, the Knights of Gabriel are 290,000, and the Knights of Rachel are 180,000."
"Only the National Imperial Seal Knights' total military strength has remained at its peak of 100,000."
"Although at first glance, our country's current military strength is still very abundant."
"But in my opinion - it is still slightly insufficient to deal with the Holy Hiran Empire with such military power."
"Captain Cheng..." Ilsa's face gradually turned ugly, "Are you saying... that if we take the Holy Hiran Empire as our opponent, the 670,000 troops of the four major knights will not be enough... ?”
"That's right." Su Cheng nodded again, "That's why I just said - we must dispatch all available troops in our country, so as to maximize our chances of winning."
Su Cheng's words caused gasps of air to resound in the conference room.
There is no other reason - what Su Cheng said just now is really scary.
If troops are sent according to Su Cheng's suggestion just now, then the scale of this "War of Destruction of the Holy Hiran Empire" will reach an unprecedented level!
While gasping, many people frowned and used their actions to express their disapproval of what Su Cheng had just said.
Among those who frowned was Ilsa.
"Captain Cheng." There was no smile on Ilsa's face at this time. "Why do we need to dispatch such a large force to deal with a mere Holy Shiran Empire? Please give me a reason that I can accept."
"If the Holy Hiran Empire does not have that person, then my point of view will be the same as everyone else-it only needs to dispatch an army of about 300,000 to 400,000 to defeat the Holy Hiran Empire."
“But—the Holy Hiran Empire now has that person.”
"As long as that person is still in charge of Xilan's army, no matter how many troops are dispatched, it will never be too much."
"That person?" Ilsa's frown deepened, "Who is it?"
"The commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front—Marshal El Bernard. He was the genius who drove the Huns out of the Far Eastern steppes with inferior force."
"Marshal El Bernard..." Ilsa naturally knew who this figure was. "Is that El Bernard... so powerful? So powerful that we need to dispatch all the troops in the country to mobilize the whole country. Power?"
"It's amazing." Su Cheng said again without hesitation, "Your Majesty, to be honest - even if you put all the troops in the country under my command and provide our army with a steady stream of supplies, I can't guarantee that I can be on the battlefield. Defeat it."
"...Captain Cheng." Ilsa said solemnly, "I understand your point of view."
"but--"
Ilsa changed the subject.
"Deploy all the troops in the country to attack the Holy Hiran Empire... The price is too high."
"I don't think that destroying the Holy Hiran Empire will require us to pay such a high price."
Ilsa's words were a disguised refutation of Su Cheng's opinion.
As for Su Cheng - he seemed to have expected that Ilsa would say this.
There was no unusual look on his face, he just said lightly:
"Your Majesty, if that's the case - then I suggest postponing the war against the Holy Hiran Empire."
Su Cheng's words were like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing waves of water to rise immediately.
Everyone looked shocked.
Ilsa just said that she would conquer the Holy Shiran Empire and complete the unification of the continent.
However, only a few minutes later, Su Cheng said without mercy that the war should be postponed.
If anyone was to say who was the most shocked person present, there was no doubt that it was Ilsa.
Ilsa's expression at this time was very wonderful.
There was shock and astonishment.
Before Ilsa could recover from the shock, Su Cheng sighed softly, and then said softly:
"Your Majesty... I just finished my trip in the southern part of the empire."
"In the south of our country, I saw with my own eyes what kind of torture our country's successive wars have inflicted on civilians."
"Compared with all previous wars, the scale of the war with the Holy Hiran Empire will only be larger, not smaller."
"Therefore - no more fighting!"
"Even if you want to fight, please wait until 10 years later, when our country's national strength has recovered again, before fighting!"
Just after Su Cheng finished speaking, Ilsa's voice immediately exploded:
"no!"
"Fight again in 10 years? How can I find so much time to wait slowly for 10 years!"
"Our country has now successively conquered the Roland Empire and the Frank Empire, and the morale of the army is high!"
"It is with this momentum that we can destroy the Holy Xilan Empire in one go! How can we wait foolishly for 10 years!"
"And - after 10 years, our national strength will recover, and the national strength of the Holy Xilan Empire will also recover!"
"A country of the size of the Holy Xilan Empire must not be given any breathing space! We must take advantage of their weakness and give them a thundering blow!"
"As for the suffering of our civilians you mentioned... I know that our civilians have had a hard time these years."
"But I also know that their days are not yet It's so hard that they can't survive!"
"So please be patient for a little longer!"
"As long as they can endure these years, until the Holy Xilan Empire is destroyed, the days of peace and tranquility will come!"
"Your Majesty!" Su Cheng said loudly as if he couldn't bear it anymore, "Your ideas are too optimistic! If you go to any rural area outside the city and see the scene in any rural area, you won't have such a view!"
"No matter what, I don't recommend sending troops to attack the Holy Xilan Empire at this time!"
"I can't do it!" Ilsa refused without showing any weakness, "The territory of the Holy Xilan Empire - I must get it!"
Speaking of this, Ilsa paused.
Then she changed to a much more soothing tone.
