Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 431: Three strategies (two)
Chapter 431: Three strategies and two
Eat a long time and a long time, this guy from Second Highness seems to have realized my purpose. Lorist sighed. I was disappointed and finished. Don't try to take advantage anymore. It is getting harder and harder now. This guy is not a stupid guy. I remember this lesson after one experience. To say so clearly is to be careful of yourself, for fear of being fooled again.
"The third method is to fight each other." Lorist thought about it or said the third method.
"Don't attack each other?" Second Highness asked with some confusion.
"Yes. Your Majesty, if you think about it, according to the information we have learned, Grand Duke Forando and Fakal Grand Duke(s) each brought two Legion in Handra Dukedom, and Sabaji Grand Duke(s) also gathered a corps. More than 200,000 troops. In addition, the secret agent information obtained from Hans City said that Handra Grand Duke(s) also expanded the red and white double dragon Legion under his command, plus a city defense Legion that defended Hans City, and the army reached 100,000. Horses.
One Handra Dukedom and three provinces have a population of one million. Now that more than 300,000 troops have gathered, the burden of this armament will be as much as we can imagine. At present, in order to deal with our attack, the four Grand Duke(s)s can work together and cooperate sincerely in a short time. However, once we adopt the strategy of not attacking each other, they will not be able to bear the burden of this armament and will collapse in a long time, and various contradictions will then occur.
The three Grand Duke(s) who live in Handra Dukedom have their own troops. None of them will easily give up their own Legion armed forces. Then if Handra Dukedom cannot afford their logistics and heavy supplies of supplies, there will be a big contradiction. I don't think any Grand Duke(s) will be willing to give up the Legion armed forces in their hands, because this is the foundation of their restoration. They only Will find ways to ensure their own Legion armed forces arms supply.
Just imagine what the consequences will be. The three Grand Duke(s)s are unwilling to give up their armed forces. So Handra Grand Duke(s) cannot dissolve armed forces of Dukedom to meet the arms supply requirements of the three allies. Instead, he will try to recruit soldier(s) to form Dukedom armed forces, but the object of prevention will change Become his three allies instead of us. For Handela Grand Duke(s), our threat to each other is not a big threat to him, but the three Grand Duke(s) are stationed on the side of his couch, accidentally, the country is destroyed.
So the longer our stalemate does not attack, the more easily the conflict between the central four Grand Duke(s) will occur. Perhaps in the first year, the savings of Handra Dukedom could barely sustain the consumption of 300,000 troops, but after one year, Handra Dukedom will certainly not be able to sustain the consumption of such a large armament. As long as the supply is reduced, conflicts will arise. Once a contradiction occurs, it is easy to suppress at the beginning, but the longer the time, the more contradictions accumulate, and the more intense the eventual explosion will be. At that time, it is likely that the four Grand Duke(s) will meet each other.
In general, when facing a shortage of arms supply, the three Grand Duke(s) Legion armed forcess are likely to hit their Handra Dukedom residents, and they will plunder civilians to meet their material needs. Then Handra Grand Duke(s) as the master of Dukedom must provide protection for his Dukedom leaders. Such conflicts can easily lead to war. After the face is torn, the three Grand Duke(s) Legions will intensify their efforts to plunder the civilians of Handra Dukedom. In order to stop their atrocities, Handra Grand Duke(s) ordered a severe attack. As long as there are casualties, then the alliance relationship between Central Four Dukedom will be self-defeating, and even without us, Handra Dukedom will be on the brink of extinction due to the war.
As long as your Majesty is patient, you can sit and watch them fight together. After the four Grand Duke(s)s in the middle have scored, then the losers are likely to come to Her Majesty. They will take the initiative to guide us into Handra Dukedom. The winning side will also be unable to resist the direction of our soldiers because the strength is too large. Without much effort, Handra Dukedom will fall into the hands of His Majesty like a ripe fruit. "
big tent is silent, and everyone is thinking about the strategy of Lorist. It took a while before Grand Duke Fisablen came forward and asked a question: "His Highness Norton Grand Duke(s), what you said makes sense, but you seem to have forgotten that Majik province of Handra Dukedom and Anderwoff Province occupied by Forde Trade Union border, and one of Trade Union's seven giants The Chamber of Commerce Territory of Vysia Chamber of Commerce is the Bodolger Province next to Anderwoff Province. If we carry out a strategy of Handra Dukedom, then the four Grand Duke(s) in the middle can completely ask for help from Vysia Chamber of Commerce or trade with Trade Union when the supply of armaments is insufficient. The armament and us continue to confront each other. "
Lorist smiled with confidence: "His Highness Grand Duke Fisablen, your question is very important, but this question is based on whether Vysia Chamber of Commerce will spare no effort to support the middle four Grand Duke(s). Businessmen are profitable, if the middle four Dukedom is still, then Vysia Chamber of Commerce The support for four Grand Duke(s) is not profitable, but at least it will not lose money. At present, already has three Grand Duke(s) dogs. Although they each have two Legion armed forces, they have lost Dukedom in already.
In this case, I personally think that Vysia Chamber of Commerce may look at providing a little assistance in the past to fight side by side, but basically will not fully support the four Grand Duke(s). Otherwise, the military supplies of 300,000 troops will be provided free of charge, and Vysia Chamber of Commerce itself will be dragged down by them over time. In particular, Bodolger Province occupied by the former Empire of Vysia Chamber of Commerce and Chamber of Commerce Territory relied on Trade Union, not the alliance with the Central Four Dukedom.
As for the four Grand Duke(s)s in the middle you will trade with Trade Union to maintain unity. The premise is that the four Grand Duke(s)s must have sufficient capital to trade. Among them, Sabaji Grand Duke(s) is a fledgling escape, the belongings should be the least one. Both Grand Duke Forando and Faker Grand Duke(s) carried Dukedom and their family's belongings to Handra Dukedom. It seemed very rich, but both of them were hermits.
The military expenses of the two Legion armed forces they have at their disposal are not enough. After occupying two Dukedoms, we can estimate from the seized books that the value of the two Grand Duke(s)'s respective belongings is about 1 million to 2 million gold fordes. There is also Handela Grand Duke(s). I think that the possessions he has at hand and the two Grand Duke(s) are not much different. Even if Handra Dukedom is still there, the impact of the war will also greatly reduce the financial revenue.
Hi Grand Duke Fisablen, how long do you think two million gold fordes can sustain two Legion armed forces. Forund Duchy and Faker Dukedom are both occupied by already, and the two Legion more than 90,000 people in the hands of the two Grand Duke(s) are the capital and hope of their return to the country, no matter how you save the two Grand Duke(s) will still spend money.
Under such circumstances, they will not invest their possessions in the trade with Trade Union at all, but will pin their hopes on the supply of free armaments by Handra Dukedom. So, may Handela Grand Duke(s) use the financial income of Dukedom to trade to support these 200,000 or more Legion armed forces that are not under their own Dukedom or under their control? I don't think this is possible ... "
This analysis of Lorist is very straightforward. It is impossible for Vysia Chamber of Commerce to fully support four Grand Duke(s)s. As time goes on, even the central four Grand Duke(s) and Trade Union will not be able to persist in arms trade, and conflicts will always explode. The key to the strategy of fighting each other is that the three provinces of Handra Dukedom and nearly one million manpower cannot sustain the existence and resource consumption of more than 300,000 troops.
Yes, Second Highness clapped their hands and understood. Now the tighter you push, the more united the four Grand Duke(s)s in the middle will be. But if you adopt a strategy of not attacking each other, without the threat on your side, the enemy's contradictions will naturally explode after a long time. Lorist is right. Nearly one million people in three provinces of Handra Dukedom support more than 300,000 troops. It is okay for a short period of time. If you spend time in the mountains and mountains, no one can afford this consumption.
"How long do you think the enemy can't stand it?" Second Highness asked.
Lorist showed a white tooth and smiled out two fingers: "Two years, but no more than two years."
"But Locke, do n’t forget, if you do n’t fight each other, the Handra Dukedom will not be able to sustain the consumption of more than 300,000 troops, can we stick to it? Our side is also more than 300,000 troops, Although we are a kingdom, all logistics are heavy, and long-distance transportation of arms and materials is still required. The consumption of manpower and materials is extremely huge. Two years is a long time, and we ca n’t afford the 300,000 troops. Supply, especially since we have so many cavalry units, the consumption of this food and grass is almost twice that of the enemy ... "Second Highness frowned, seeming to think that the strategy of non-competition that Lorist mentioned was hurting Injured by both sides.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten that Forund Duchy and Faker Dukedom are now under your jurisdiction. In fact, fighting each other just gives you enough time for these two Dukedom and Shabaj Duchy. These eight provinces are under effective management. These eight provinces alone can provide us with enough supplies of food and grass for the 300,000-strong army. As for other armaments, we are naturally equipped with Aristocrat(s) armed forces, and we only hope that Your Majesty is dying After the Central Four Dukedom, we can remember our credit and contribution, and give us the corresponding rewards. "Lorist reminded with a smile.
Second Highness head down in big tent, everyone's eyes are watching him make the final decision. Second Highness is also very difficult now. The first three strategies proposed by Lorist are the simplest. Continue to attack, but the surprise attack requires his own soldiers, and already is rejected.
The second strategy is circuitous division. The Legion that is most suitable for this task is as Lorist said. The Flying Tiger Legion is the best candidate. However, because of the fear of the Lorist self-report, the Second Highness knew from the heart. Hit a cross.
The third strategy is to fight each other without fighting. The analysis of already by Lorist just made everyone in big tent understand that this should be the best way to sit and watch the enemy's contradictions collapse and collapse. It only takes a little longer, and at the same time, the consumption of armaments will also be a bit larger. However, the consumption of armament materials is relatively large. This is not an important matter. Usually these Legions also need materials consumption. In addition to the kingdom's White Lion Legion, the rest gathered under the Second Highness are the regular Legion of each family. Lorist already reminded that they only need food and forage, and the military supplies are borne by each family.
What's difficult for Second Highness now is that if you use this strategy of not fighting each other, then what do you need to do to reward your Aristocrat(s) after annihilating Handra Dukedom. In general wars, the loot of each family is owned by their own families, which can also be regarded as a reward for sending troops to help. But for two years without fighting, even if Handra Dukedom perishes, one can imagine that the enemy is exhausted, and there are no loot left. In such a case, Second Highness needs to pay these subordinates Aristocrat(s) as a reward.
After two laps, I looked at the expressions of everyone in big tent. Obviously everyone likes this strategy of fighting each other. Yeah, it will consume all the strength of each family if you die with the enemy who occupy the location. It is better to just watch the enemy collapse. Although it takes a long time, it is a good thing to get a reward without jeopardizing your own strength.
"Let ’s do this first, let me think it over carefully and discuss it in two days." In the end, Second Highness broke up without making a decision.
Lorist is a bit inexplicable. What does Second Highness mean?
The next morning Lorist's current Grand Duke Fisablen was recruited by Second Highness and discussed for a long time. This is followed by Duke Kenmays and Count Felim in the afternoon. When Lorist was guessing who the next turn was, Duke Kenmays came.
"Do you know what your Majesty is looking for me for?" Duke Kenmays said.
"How do I know?" Lorist said.
"Your Majesty asked me, what reward do I need to keep my two Heavy Armor Corpss here for two years?"
Lorist understands: "What did you want?"
Duke Kenmays extended two fingers: "Two years, Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce will not pay any taxes in the Kingdom of Commons within two years."
Count Felim is coming soon.
"What did you want?" Duke Kenmays asked.
"I want 50,000 young people to come to Southern Province, but His Majesty only promised to give me 30,000." Count Felim replied.
"What about Hennard?"
"He should have been hired by His Majesty."
In the evening, Second Highness sent a Imperial Guard to invite Lorist to have dinner with him.
"You should know what I mean by asking you to have dinner together, but don't let the lion speak up and say, what reward do you want?" Second Highness opened the door.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you have adopted the strategy of not attacking each other?"
Second Highness nodded: "What you are most satisfied with is the strategy of provoking each other and not attacking. One of the most satisfying things about me is to let the four rebellions in the central part of the world contradict each other. I hate it. The central four Dukedom bothers me most about the Four Kingdoms as one and supporting each other. No matter what their future destiny is, I'm very satisfied now that they can be separated from each other and kill each other, so I have the patience to wait and see Their division, but you also know, I am worried that the four rebellions will not get any loot after two years, so I hope to set a reward with you in advance.
Lorist smiled: "Your Majesty, can I know what Grand Duke Fisablen wants?"
"He didn't want much, one Legion weapon and equipment seized, and 50,000 people relocated." Second Highness replied.
"Oh," Lorist said, "Then I want to ..."
"Stop! Locke, you do n’t want to migrate any more people. I wo n’t agree. What I regret right now is that you are responsible for migrating refugees from the three provinces of Fakir Dukedom. You have done what you know "Second Highness interrupted Lorist.
"Okay." Lorist shrugged and spread his hands: "But Your Majesty, what else can you give me besides the population, you say it yourself."
"Locke ..." Second Highness patted his forehead with a headache: "You can promise me if you don't overdo it."
"Well, then let my family Territory and jurisdiction Territory be tax-free for another five years." Lorist reluctantly made such a request.
"No ..." Second Highness subconsciously opposed it, and then stared at Lorist for a long time with a small stare: "Well, there is a maximum of three years of tax exemption, five years will not work."
"Concluded." Lorist held out his hand.
