Chapter 771 The Ryan Family (Part 1)

If you want to study the life or military style of [Military God] Su Cheng, or want to study the war history of the Knights of Michael, "Overlord Counterattack" is the research focus that you cannot avoid, because this unprecedented battle was one of the most beautiful and brilliant battles commanded by Su Cheng, who was then the head of the Knights of Michael.

At the same time, "Overlord Counterattack" was also the first confrontation between [Military God] Su Cheng and [Undefeated Marshal] El Bernard.

——The consensus of all historians who studied "Military God Biography" or "Military History of the Knights of Michael" in the future

The great victory report on the northern front was sent to Pendragon together with the joint letter of Su Cheng and Humphrey and the "Aurora" offensive operation plan.

After receiving the great victory report on the northern front, the central government of the Britannia Empire was excited from top to bottom.

Destroyed one-third of the Holy Hilan Empire's land forces, captured more than 200,000 Hilan army soldiers, annihilated half of the naval forces, and captured the Holy Hilan Empire's Muhavitz Fortress - this is the most brilliant victory that the Britannia Empire has ever achieved against the Holy Hilan Empire!

After learning of this great victory, everyone has realized that the overlord of the continent may have to change!

If you want to say who is the most excited after getting this victory, it must be the members of the "Queen's Party" headed by Jacob.

Su Cheng is the core figure of the "Queen's Party".

As the core figure of the "Queen's Party", Su Cheng, who won such an exciting victory, will undoubtedly greatly enhance the voice and prestige of the "Queen's Party".

Therefore, compared with the members of the "Queen's Party", the "Gaelic Party" headed by the Financial Steward Alfred were not so excited after getting this victory.

Some "Gaelic" people even sighed pessimistically: unless something unexpected happens, they, the "Gaelic" people, have no chance to overwhelm the "Queen's Party".

The members of the "Queen's Party" were happy, and the Queen herself was also happy.

However, the reason why Ilsa was happy was much simpler.

Ilsa was simply happy for another victory for her country and the further increase of Su Cheng's military merits.

In order to commemorate this epic victory, Ilsa personally took up the pen and named this unprecedented counterattack against the Holy Hilan Empire as "Overlord Counterattack".

When announcing the name she had given to this battle to the ministers, all the ministers, including Jacob, were surprised and delighted by the name Ilsa came up with.

Because this name is really good.

Not only is it very imposing, but it is also easy to pronounce.

The most important thing is that the name "Overlord Counterattack" is also very meaningful.

This is a counterattack by an overlord.

With the unanimous approval of the ministers, this counterattack operation that lasted for more than half a year was officially named "Overlord Counterattack".

Whether it was the initial attack and defense of Avalon Fortress, or the subsequent "Northern Great Turn" operation, the 400-mile raid operation, and the Mukhavets Fortress attack, they were all part of this "Overlord Counterattack".

In later generations, no matter how many years have passed, the term "Overlord Counterattack" has always been shining in history books.

After receiving the victory news and a brief excitement, Ilsa and the important ministers of the central government also officially began to review the joint letter of Su Cheng and Humphrey and the battle plan of the "Aurora" offensive.

In Ilsa's study (formerly Gozewen's study), Jacob, Bankro, Alfred and other important ministers were summoned here to discuss whether to pass the "Aurora" offensive proposed by Su Cheng.

It has been nearly a year since Elsa ascended the throne. During this year of life and experience as an emperor, Elsa has gradually matured in her behavior.

There are some official documents now, and even without Jacob's reminder, Elsa can make correct instructions and handle them.

Strangely enough, since a few months ago, with the encouragement of her grandfather Gozewen, Elsa loudly announced to the ministers in the study that she had passed the "Northern Great Turn" campaign, and she felt that she seemed to have become much more confident.

Now, even if she speaks in front of the ministers, Elsa will not feel stage fright or stutter.

As soon as the ministers arrived, Elsa asked them to speak freely and talk about their views on the "Aurora" offensive.

At the same time, Elsa also directly announced her position to the ministers in front of her: she supports the launch of the "Aurora" offensive.

However, just after Elsa announced her support for the launch of the "Aurora" offensive, the chief financial officer Alfred immediately said:

"Your Majesty, the "Aurora" offensive cannot be launched."

Alfred's answer was concise and clear.

"Well..." Elsa curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "Why? I think what the teacher... Captain Cheng and Governor Humphrey wrote in the joint letter makes sense, doesn't it?"

"Now is the weakest time for the Holy Xilan Empire since its founding."

"If we don't take advantage of this time to launch a northern expedition and further weaken the national strength of the Holy Xilan Empire, it will be too late when the national strength of the Holy Xilan Empire recovers."

"Your subordinate understands what your majesty, Captain Cheng, and Governor Humphrey mean." Alfred continued, "Your subordinate also understands that now is the best time to attack the Holy Xilan Empire."

"If the treasury is still rich, your subordinate will naturally support the launch of the "Aurora" offensive."

When talking about "if the treasury is still rich", Alfred emphasized the tone.

And Ilsa naturally heard what Alfred meant.

"...General Alfred, does your Excellency mean that our country's current national strength is no longer able to launch a large-scale offensive?"

"That's right." Alfred said loudly, "In the just-concluded "Overlord Counterattack", while severely hitting the Holy Xilan Empire, our country also suffered a considerable loss of national strength."

"In order to support the unprecedented cross-sea operation of the "Northern Great Turn", our country spent countless money to build a transport fleet sufficient for 80,000 troops."

"Countless supplies were sent to the northern front, so that the Michael Knights and the Imperial Navy could have sufficient supplies to launch the "Northern Great Turn" operation."

"In order to win the "Northern Great Turn", our country has consumed a lot of national strength. "

"Our country's current treasury is no longer able to support the Knights of Michael in launching a large-scale offensive against the enemy."

"The joint letter from Captain Cheng and Governor Humphrey also clearly stated: Let us act according to the current national strength of the empire. Even if we reject their joint letter and the battle plan of the "Aurora" offensive, they will both accept it with pleasure."

"I know that if this great opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to encounter it again."

"But I still ask Your Majesty to give up this rare opportunity with pain."
