Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 3: Immediately across the first

"Everyone, please be quiet. I think everyone in the empire is watching how the empire will react. It can be said that our actions affect the whole body. We need to maintain the reputation of the empire. But we also need to consider the actual situation of the empire. Since Your Majesty wants us to hold this joint meeting of the Council of State and the Privy Council to discuss the direction of the general trend, I think we must look at this matter with a responsible attitude, and not simply rely on our respective positions. Please consider this matter from the standpoint of the government, please maintain a peaceful mind.” Xiao Tang looked at the crowd with some annoyance, this kind of meeting is obviously a hot potato, and the attitudes between the military and the government are never likely to be the same However, His Majesty asked himself and Bo Jinchen to discuss and coordinate, but His Majesty himself was happy to take a break. Isn't this deliberately creating a dispute?

"Xiaoxiang is right. At present, the eyes of the government and the public are all concerned about where the empire will go next. The Liberians have ravaged thousands of miles in the north of us, and now they can't hold back. The Machihans in the south We are still lingering, and the Japanese are still entrenched on our land in the Great Eastern Ocean. Could it be that the humiliation we have suffered can’t be let go so lightly? I think not only we can’t agree, but even the people of the empire won’t agree. War It's far from over, and I think how to win this war is the first thing we need to consider." Following Xiao Tang's words, Bo Jinchen used them extensively, leading the topic to the direction the military wanted. This made Xiao Tang smile wryly, this guy also came whenever he felt like it, never letting go of a chance.

"Master You, the war will definitely continue. No matter who they are, since they dare to take the first step to invade the empire, they should be mentally prepared to accept the empire's counterattack, but war also needs a process, war It’s just a continuation of politics, and it’s just a way of expressing politics. Whether it needs to be solved in this way immediately, or whether this way is the best way, I think it’s still debatable. At least war must obey the empire. The overall situation." Su Qin began to interject to support Xiao Tang's point of view, and refuted it unceremoniously.

"Su Xiang, I don't agree with your idea. Don't you think that now is not the best time to solve it? The Liberians have suffered a crushing defeat, the Machihans are dying, and the Japanese have been seriously injured, no matter from which angle you look at it. Now is the right time, do you think the people of the empire will sit back and watch us act slowly and weakly? Prime Minister Su, we also need to take the attitude of the people into consideration." Bo Jinchen laughed. Said cheerfully.

"The attitude of the people? Your Excellency, the attitude of the people may not be as you imagined, you are too optimistic. The north is far away, and the people in the northwest, Terok, and Yunzhong have suffered great losses. Now the empire's finances are also the same. It is already in a very difficult situation. What the people need is how to survive such a difficult spring famine, and what they need most is how to get through the difficulties with a full stomach. The war in the empire is not their most concerned issue at this stage. That is Those who have no worries about food and clothing are thinking about it. And the empire's finances will encounter great difficulties in supporting the continuation of the war, and the empire needs to take a breath now." Su Qin shook his head and did not agree with Bo Jinchen's point of view.

"Prime Minister Su, you underestimate the consciousness of the people. You can take a look at what the empire's media is focusing on every day. Without exception, it is how the empire should retaliate and punish! If we ignore public opinion, then We will be blamed, and as you said that the financially difficult empire needs to recuperate, I don't think that's the case, can it be that the empire really can't sustain it?" Bo Jinchen's words were no less sharp than Su Qin.

Su Qin doesn't mind the other party's questioning. Each represents their own point of view, and it is normal to question the basis and arguments of the other party, but the views of the military and the government are very different, and it seems to be quite difficult to achieve coordination and unity. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor hopes to Can a coordination meeting unify views?

The discussions at the joint meeting obviously ended in vain, and the confrontational attitude between the government and the military was quickly noticed by the media. Let the empire get some time to recover and prepare for the final full-scale counteroffensive; while the military hopes to take advantage of the defeat of the Liberians to seize the opportunity to launch an offensive and completely solve the serious problem of the Liberians.

The diametrically opposed attitudes of the two sides on this issue have also sparked widespread debate among the people of the empire. The merchants as the main group are supportive of the government's opinions. They hope that the empire can settle down after experiencing continuous wars Take a rest, let the industry and commerce that have been affected by the war return to the normal track, and make sense when the time is right; while the gentry and landlords believe that the Liberians should beat the dog in the water and dare to challenge the authority of the empire The attackers must let them be punished, and the Poole and Dorton are now the best targets, and the Machihans can also be listed as the second target.

Wufeng is also very clear about the fierce dispute between the two sides. He is also a little hesitant now. The continuous war has made the people of the empire feel war-weary, and the war will almost drag down the empire's finances. With the timely issuance of war bonds, the empire's finances were almost in danger of being exhausted. But now is a rare opportunity, and the Dorton and Poole people are already in trouble. If you don't seize this opportunity, although the two countries will not be able to recover quickly, if you give them time to rest and breathe, the future actions of the empire will definitely pay more the price.

The government headed by Xiao Tang and Su Qin hopes to take more than half a year to rest and reorganize. They think that whether it is Doton or Poole, the domestic economies of the two countries are now on the verge of collapse, and the domestic political crisis has entered a high stage. Both Sezerif IX and Andre's status have been challenged. The domestic nobles cannot accept the outcome of this war at the cost of exhausting the country's national power. From the beginning, they strongly demanded that the military generals be held accountable. Demanding that the king be held accountable, coupled with the fact that the Boyin people in the north continue to commit crimes and go south, the two countries have fallen into chaos, and at this time, it is possible to send troops to attack the two countries

It is possible that the various forces that were originally trapped in civil strife will reunite and unite to the outside world. If restraint is maintained at this time, the domestic political crisis of the two countries will definitely deepen, and the current national strength of the two countries will not be able to recover enough in one or two years. The level of resistance to the imperial army, in the second half of the year, the imperial army only needs to send troops to the north, and let the Baiyin people cooperate, and they can easily take it down.

However, the military thinks that Purdueton is now seriously injured, and it is a good time to send troops. Taking Poole and Doton can form a siege to Kaman and Heathrow, and at the same time capture the Crescent Peninsula and completely wipe out the Japanese in the area. The base on the mainland lays the foundation for the next step of the empire's larger military operations. Once Poole and Dorton get a respite, they may rearm and bring more trouble to the military operations of the Empire in the later period.

Wang Liao found that his report did not seem to have aroused much interest from His Majesty the Emperor. It is no wonder that it is too late for the people of Doton to ask for forgiveness. Although the government does not advocate the immediate use of troops against Doton, But it doesn't mean that the government intends to forgive the mistakes of the Doton people, the Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands? Could it be that these two lands that are still in the hands of the Japanese can satisfy the appetite of the emperor and appease the anger of the people of the empire? The Dorton people are too naive, and this is probably an expedient strategy made by Andre in order to appease the panicked domestic nobles.

"Your Majesty, if you have no other comments, I plan to reply to the foreign minister of the Dorton people." Wang Liao frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Well, let's delay it for a while, but it's just a Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands, what are the people of Doton thinking? Is this old guy Andre going crazy, thinking that this condition can Make up for it?" Wufeng seemed to have just woken up from his fugue, and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, this is the only condition that the Dorton people can offer, or they have to give up all their land and people. According to the information we have, Andre is now out of control. Considering the situation in the country, the nobles in the country are going to unite to ask him to abdicate, or depose him, the situation in their country is quite chaotic." Wang Liao explained.

"Then what is the attitude of their army? They should have more than 200,000 troops in the country, right?" Wu Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said ~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that it is not clear yet, the morale of the army is very low , lacking a prestige general to unify, it is said that some nobles in the country hope that General Lemay, who has been guarding the north, can come back to clean up the army. "This information was collected by diplomatic officials stationed in the Kingdom of Dorton. The diplomatic department cooperates very closely with the Imperial Intelligence Agency in this regard.

"Oh? Lemai? That fanatical old guy?" Wu Feng frowned. The Dorton army, the empire will encounter many troubles in its military operations in Dorton.

"Well, that's right, he is still fighting against the Boyin people in the north, but due to the heavy snow in the north, even our army is quite difficult to move, so the fighting of the Boyin people has also come to a standstill. It is estimated that Lemai is settling down. After arriving in the north, we will return to the capital of Dorton." Wang Liao seemed to have sensed His Majesty's intentions.

"This is bad news for us." Wufeng smacked his lips, "It seems that we have to act first, we can't let Liemai succeed, everything must go according to our plan. "Jiangshan Meirenzhi, Part Three, Sweeps Liuhe
