Chapter 557: Allen's Teachings

The censor, as the name suggests, is the person responsible for supervising the military.

The Britannian Empire did not have a pathological defense against military attachés like today's Holy Hiran Empire, so there were no permanent censors.

This time, Ilsa took on the title of inspector of the Bandit Rebellion Legion and accompanied Allen and Enli to the west to quell the banditry.

Even a fool can see that Gozevin did not really want Ilsa to supervise the bandit army when he asked Ilsa to serve as the inspector of the bandit army. He only asked Ilsa to go with the army to gain experience. Just for a moment, see the world.

The bandits are very weak. As long as the coach is not mentally retarded, the bandits will not be able to compete with the bandit army. Therefore, it is very safe to follow the bandit army to the west to quell the banditry. It is a good place to come to experience and gain knowledge.

Coach Allen, deputy commander Enli, and inspector Ilsa formed the bandit-fighting trio, leading the bandit-fighting regiment to march westward to quell the banditry.

Allen and Enli did not want Ilsa to serve as the inspector of the bandit-fighting army at first.

Because at the beginning, both of them subconsciously classified Ilsa, the royal granddaughter, as the kind of eldest lady who would get out of breath even after taking a few steps, who had to ride in a carriage when walking, and who couldn't live independently without anyone to take care of her.

But after the army set off, the two discovered that they were wrong.

Ilsa, the most noble person in the empire, is not that annoying and squeamish young lady.

From the time the army set off until the first battle was about to begin, neither Allen nor Enli heard the word "tired" from Ilsa.

Judging from Ilsa's expression, she seems to be very happy to be able to leave the palace this time and come to the west with the title of "Inspector".

Ilsa was also very considerate, always passing water or some food (taken from the kitchen) to Allen and Enli who were looking at maps or discussing marching and combat plans.

I usually go to the military camp from time to time to see if the soldiers are eating well and sleeping well.

All in all, Ilsa is not only not annoying, but also quite likable. Among the bandits, Ilsa, who has no airs of being a young lady, has already gained high popularity, and Allen and Enli are also very fond of her. This lovely royal granddaughter has a high reputation.

The three of them stood side by side on the observation deck, looking at the mountains in the distance and gnawing on the chicken legs in their hands.

"Your Highness Ilsa." After Allen finished chewing the chicken drumstick in his hand, he reported to Ilsa Hui beside him, "We have decided to launch a general attack early tomorrow morning and strive to resolve the battle before noon tomorrow."

"A general attack will be launched tomorrow morning..." Ilsa murmured.

Then, he cast a melancholy look at the mountains in the distance.

"Isn't there any other way to deal with these bandits besides violence..."

"We have actually thought about using peaceful means to deal with the bandits on this mountain.

Enli on the side continued, "After surrounding this mountain, we sent a letter to the bandits on this mountain, asking them to surrender immediately. As long as they are willing to surrender, we will not kill them." But unfortunately, none of the letters sent received any reply, maybe because they are illiterate, but no matter what, now there is no other way but to use violence. "

Ever since Ilsa asked this question just now, Allen has been secretly wiping Ilsa's expression.

After looking at Ilsa's face full of complicated emotions and eyes full of confusion, Allen pondered for a while, and then said to Ilsa:

"Your Highness Ilsa, you seem to have a lot of resistance to the use of violence. In fact, you don't need to resist 'violence', because 'violence' is just a means to solve things, and 'negotiation' 'There is no essential difference compared to the means of handling things."

"Your Highness Ilsa, you are still young, so you may not have similar insights yet. When you grow up for a while, you will find that many things can be solved directly and solved with violence. very beautiful."

"At the same time, there are many things that can only be solved with violence."

As soon as Allen finished speaking, Enli on the side said to Allen in an extremely dissatisfied tone:

"Hey, Allen, don't instill any bad things into Her Highness Ilsa."

"Humph, this is not a bad thing." Allen retorted in the same dissatisfied tone, "Enli, you should also know that what I just said was not wrong, right? Many people always stigmatize violence ', but 'violence' and 'negotiation' are both ways to solve things, and there is no essential difference. Some things are more suitable to be solved with violence, and some things are more suitable to be solved with negotiation. Am I wrong? "

"..."

Enli fell silent.

There was no rebuttal to Allen.

"If all problems can be solved by sitting down and negotiating, then why use the army? The army was established to solve problems that cannot be solved by negotiation." Allen finally added, "Just like us here At that time, there was no way to deal with the bandits who were causing harm to the country and the people through peaceful means, so we had to use violence to solve it.”

"Violence, like negotiation, is just a means to solve problems..." Ilsa murmured what Allen just said, "But, my history teacher, Teacher William, told me that using violence It’s always bad…”

"He's been reading too much and has become stupid." Allen replied mercilessly, "If you deny the effectiveness of violence in certain situations, then this person is either stupid or bad. When you grow up, Princess Elsa, you will find that many problems in this world can only be solved by violence."

"Of course, this does not mean that violence can solve all problems. Any means has its scope of application. If it exceeds this scope, it may not only fail to solve the problem, but may even make the problem worse."

"To give a vivid example, 'violence' and 'peaceful negotiations' are like seasonings for cooking."

"Some dishes are suitable for adding more salt, some dishes are suitable for adding more vinegar, and some dishes are suitable for adding both salt and vinegar."

"Only by using various seasonings flexibly can you make a delicious meal."

"If you only add one seasoning, then you will only get a table of dishes with some delicious dishes and some unpalatable dishes. Hmm? Princess Elsa, what's wrong?"

After silently giving this example, Allen realized that Elsa was looking at him with admiration.

"Mr. Allen, after listening to what you said just now, I feel like I have realized something! Mr. Allen, the knowledge you just told me, my teachers have never told me."

"Ah, not all teachers haven't told me. Teacher Cheng seems to have said something similar to me before, but he is not as straightforward as you, Mr. Allen, so I didn't understand it very well at that time. I didn't expect that Mr. Allen is also a very learned person!"

"I'm not that learned." Allen said modestly, "I'm just saying some things that I have realized after living for many years."

"Some things can only be solved by violence. Violence, like negotiation, is just a means of solving problems..." Elsa kept muttering and repeating what Allen said just now, as if she had obtained some treasure.

Looking at the mountains in front of her, her eyes were no longer as confused and complicated as before.
