As soon as Ilsa said this, the atmosphere in the entire conference room changed instantly.

Everyone headed by Su Cheng widened their eyes and cast disbelief at Ilsa.

Especially Su Cheng - he looked at Ilsa as if he was asking Ilsa: "Did I hear you right just now?"

While everyone in the conference room was still stunned and speechless for a long time because of what she just said, Ilsa then said expressionlessly:

"I only recently became aware of this problem."

"The problem is - 'original Franks' seems to be a bit too much."

"The citizens of our Britannia Empire are 80 million."

"And the total number of 'original Franks' is nearly 80 million."

"There are as many as us Britannias."

"Such a large population is extremely troublesome to manage and assimilate."

"Let's simply make their number smaller."

"Becoming 40 million or... less than 40 million, in short, makes their number far smaller than the number of us Britannias."

“That way, it’s much easier to manage and assimilate.”

"Because of the decrease in numbers, the number of rebels will also decrease..."

Before Ilsa could finish what she said, Su Cheng stood up and slapped the table as if she couldn't stand listening anymore:

"Your Majesty! No! How can you use such cruel methods?!"

"I admit that this method is very bloody." Ilsa said softly, her face still expressionless, as if she was talking about an insignificant thing, "But this cruel method is also extremely effective."

"To reduce the 80 million people to only half..." Su Cheng's lips trembled slightly, and he felt the roots of his teeth trembled, "Your Majesty! No! It's absolutely impossible! How can such a cruel massacre be used!"

"They are no longer Franks! The Frank Empire has been destroyed! That land is the land of our Britannia Empire! Your Majesty, what you do is tantamount to killing your own citizens!"

"I know." Ilsa continued softly, "But if this is a sacrifice that must be made to make this empire more prosperous, I don't mind sacrificing this part of the people."

"Your Majesty..." Su Cheng, who was so angry at Ilsa's words that his head was spinning, wanted to say something more.

However, before he could say anything, Ilsa interrupted first:

"Captain Cheng. I think - you should not be qualified to criticize me for the cruelty of the massacre."

Ilsa turned her head and cast a meaningful look at Su Cheng.

"Captain Cheng, haven't you also done things like massacre?"

"It was during the Aurora Offensive many years ago."

"In order to defeat the Holy Hiran Empire, didn't you also order the soldiers to massacre many unarmed citizens of the Holy Hiran Empire?"

As soon as Ilsa said this, Su Cheng immediately opened his mouth and became speechless.

After hemming and hawing for a long time, Su Cheng argued:

"At that time, massacre of the city was a necessary method..."

"Necessary means?" Ilsa interrupted Su Cheng again, "Captain Cheng, you carried out the massacre in order to reduce the obstacles to the Britannia army's advance."

"It's for the good of the Britannia Empire."

"And my current plan to reduce the population of the 'original Franks' is also for the good of this country."

"Why is it okay for you to kill the Hiranites, but not for me to kill the 'original Franks'?"

"I...I..." Su Cheng's lowered fist tightened and loosened naturally, then tightened again.

The head that was originally held high now slowly lowered, with an ugly and complicated look on his face.

Although she doesn’t want to admit it, what Ilsa just said is true.

When he launched the "Aurora" offensive, in order to reduce the obstacles to the army's advance, he ordered: Whenever he saw a city that dared to resist, he would

Kill everyone in this city who is taller than a wheel.

Su Cheng's order is useful.

And it's extremely useful.

After slaughtering several cities that dared to resist, the remaining cities no longer dared to resist. When they saw the flag of the Britannian Army approaching, they obediently opened their city gates and surrendered.

But effective is effective, and cruel is also quite cruel...

Just like Ilsa said just now - Su Cheng, who has also committed a massacre, criticized Ilsa for the cruelty of the massacre that has not yet been carried out. From a certain perspective, it is indeed quite ridiculous.

Although the massacre that Ilsa planned to carry out was far greater than the massacres that Su Cheng had carried out a few years ago, both in scale and in the number of people killed.

But massacre is massacre.

There is no difference between slaughtering 100 people or slaughtering 10,000,000 people - both are unforgivable crimes.

Su Cheng, who knew he was in the wrong and had no position to retaliate against Ilsa, slowly sat back in his seat.

After Su Cheng took his seat again, a staff officer immediately smiled and shouted to Ilsa:

"Your Majesty! I think your plan is very good!"

"As long as the population of the 'original Franks' is reduced, it will not only be beneficial to our management and assimilation, but also greatly reduce the number of rebel soldiers and the number of rebels!"

Su Cheng recognized this staff officer.

This staff officer was promoted by Ilsa.

If Ilsa single-handedly promoted me, there would be no principles.

No... there are some principles.

As a pure "Ilsa faction", his principle is to stand on Ilsa's side without hesitation and support all of Ilsa's decisions 100%, in exchange for Ilsa's trust and reuse.

There are many such scouts present.

There are no principles. The only principle is to support all of Ilsa's decisions 100%, whether they are right or wrong.

Of course, there are still some opposing voices in the meeting room.

Some staff officers who were not promoted by Ilsa or had a strong sense of justice came forward and criticized Ilsa's plan as extremely cruel. If it was implemented, future historians would not be able to bear to see this dark history.

For example, Hai Ruer.

After the establishment of the General Staff, Su Cheng recruited Hai Ruer into the General Staff. Over the years, she has been doing various jobs silently. She is one of the most experienced and experienced staff officers in the General Staff.

She strongly opposed this massacre.

She questioned Elsa in a stern tone:

"Your Majesty! Such a massacre will only force more people to rebel!"

However, Elsa did not have time to refute Hazel, and the staff officers who unconditionally stood on Elsa's side rushed to confront Hazel.

"Then keep killing!"

"Whoever dares to join the rebellion, kill them all!"

"Keep killing! Keep killing until no one dares to rebel again!"
