Well, although from the perspective of a government or an army, the opponents we encounter in the Eastern world are often ridiculous to the point where they are indescribable. But from a personal perspective, most of them are smart and know very well how to seek profit and avoid harm and maximize their own interests."

Feili put down the white porcelain teacup, mocked her nose, and said, "...No matter those experts who change their minds, even the two Jin Dynasty generals who recorded new recruits in Shanghai as pigs and sold them to us as slaves, Wang Qinian and another one. Well, I seem to have forgotten the name. They look ridiculous, shameless and cold-blooded, but in fact they are all well-thought-out smart people. The imperial court at that time was extremely corrupt. Even though the country was about to be destroyed, they did not give them military pay and weapons at all. They only issued a letter of empty appointment, so that these two unlucky guys could recruit troops to protect the country at their own expense, and even did not promise any rewards after the victory.

A new round of attack from our army is imminent, and there is no time for them to train the new army into an army.

In this desperate situation, in order to maximize their personal interests, they naturally refused to be loyal ministers of the court, tied themselves to a tree and hanged them. Instead, they planned to make a fortune by using the government's tiger skin. They would make a big splash, such as robbery, collection of protection fees, and trafficking in humans. Anyway, when the court fell, all these crimes could be taken to the old court, and their responsibilities would naturally disappear."

Things are easy, just delay and grinding. More importantly, as long as you really do things, you will make more or less mistakes and provide others with a handle to attack and sweat. If you do nothing, you will never make mistakes. You can even stand at the highest point of "Dao" and accuse those who do things shamelessly... Over time, all members of the organization will naturally be invincible and powerless. You may even deliberately trip up your own people in order to prevent the other party from achieving achievements that can overwhelm you!

Therefore, sometimes, some big names often make some unreasonable absurd actions, but these practices that seem extremely absurd to the outsiders are actually the wisest choices for the inside, but the decision makers and bystanders have different perspectives on the problem, such as those of the corrupt officials in the Japanese court who swallowed military pay and military expenses and sold foreign aid arms to the enemy in front of them: the Golden Elf Lieutenant General Daniel, who packed a large number of beautiful female elves and sold them to us humans as playthings and slaves, etc.

Even our Nairer Empire is no exception. How much is the slap in the streets? Didn’t it be reported in the newspaper a few days ago? The officers and soldiers of the Southern Army’s Stars Fleet refused to go out to the deep waters to train and train boats because they were afraid of falling into the water and drowning!"

"…………………………………………………………………………… It’s shameful to know how to swim, as a sailor. He actually has the face to refuse to practice using this as an excuse…… I really don’t know how these guys are!”

"...This is their cleverness. These sailors were all foreigners who were forced to be captured by the Sambiya authorities. The Southern Army gave them extremely poor treatment. They only had food and did not even pay military salaries. Therefore, they naturally had no morale and loyalty. They just thought about how to avoid war and save their lives.

However, if warships stay in ports or shallows, it is easy for sailors to escape in the chaos during the battle, but if they go out of the far sea and encounter enemy fleets, they may not be able to escape even if they want to run away. Even if they turn against each other, it is hard to say whether they will be treated well. If they meet a vicious enemy general, they order all the prisoners to be left to the sea and feed sharks, or exil to some desert island to fend for themselves, that would be miserable.

Therefore, they used the excuse that they could not swim and refused to go out to sea. The Southern Army would also feel sorry for these expensive warships, for fear of damage. If they were caught by these resentful rookies, they would suffer a huge loss. If they wanted to train them to swim, it would take some time. In short, they would just delay as much as possible. When everything was ready, the war was almost over..."

"…………………………………… I think about how to escape before the war is fought. Such a Western army is probably not much better than the Eight Banners soldiers of the Eastern Empire..."

Renee stuck the steering wheel with a wooden peach, stretched her waist and said, "...Yeah, after hearing what you said, I'm more confident in defeating the Southern Army!"

"...This... it's better not to think too optimistically. The three years of division, chaos and anarchy have all been equally severe in the military and political systems of the north and the south.

Just as a pile of building materials cannot be called houses, a loose empire cannot be called an empire." Feili raised her eyebrows, "... Although the Southern Army is not able to support the wall, the Northern Army is also of varying quality. Another news that has been hyped in the same newspaper, I wonder if you have seen it, it is the defeat of our Northern Army's Starfall Fleet by the Sel Fleet." "………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………” Renee disagreed with this. “………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"...Yes, the Northern Army Inner Sea Fleet trapped in the Pirate Islands was short of soldiers and the major general was not paid, and it was not unexpected to be defeated." Feili nodded and shook her head, "But what is really unexpected is the strange thing after the defeat!"

Once the North and South split, the Neseril Empire was located in the ports of the Inner Sea (Sky Sea Falling Sea), and was mostly controlled by the Southern Army. Except for the semi-closed coast of the Moon Sea in the north, the Northern Army fleet only had a base in the lonely sea of ​​Pirate Islands in the Sea of ​​Falling Stars.

Therefore, the Northern Army's Fleet lacked room for maneuver, and it was also very difficult to contact the rear and supplies. In addition, the number of warships was at a disadvantage, and there was no suitable dock on the island with simple conditions, so it was impossible to properly maintain the warships, resulting in poor hull conditions. Therefore, this fleet that was isolated behind the enemy could only stare at the Southern Army and was unable to launch an active attack.

However, although the Northern Army only wanted to stare at me and was powerless to take the initiative, the enemy did not think so. After the Southern Army issued an invitation to the Tukan Khanate, in order to open up the sea connection between Ser and the controlled areas of the Southern Army and safely transport the Tukan Iron Cavalry across the sea and enter the Naseril Empire, the nail stuck in the middle must be pulled out.

Because the Southern Army's broken fleet was really unusable, the Serre fleet controlled by the Red Robe Mage launched a strategy operation alone.

Seven days ago, the main force of the Ser fleet, along with the Dragon Witch Cult's undead dragon knights and the undead ships, sailed from Byzanto Port, and joined forces with some pirates who were swimming in the inland sea. They gathered about six or seven thousand troops in total, and launched a sneak attack on the Northern Fleet of the Pirate Islands during the night.

The eighteen warships anchored at the Longdao Port of the Fleet General Command were caught off guard and were quickly burned or captured by the attackers. One thousand four hundred sailors and the port guards were wiped out, and the fleet commander Lieutenant General Robert was killed with six swords. Another Northern Army squadron led by Deputy Commander Major General Vera, eight warships stationed on Prisbo Island, were also in a very critical situation.

Faced with such a crisis of being undermined by a large army and being unable to support independence, according to common sense, if Major General Vera, deputy commander of the Fleet of the Stars, was a brave general, he might take the initiative to go out to sea to fight and fight to the death: if he was a mediocre general, he should at least know how to retreat in order to preserve his strength.

As long as the fleet is still there, it has the ability to fight organically, and it can pose a threat to the enemy's transport fleet and will not completely lose its control of the sea.

1. As Feili said before, it is difficult to accomplish something, and it requires everyone's joint efforts, but it is easy to make people unable to accomplish something. Just delay the delay and grind it.

The battle for sea control is the same. It is not easy to control the maritime route, but it is easy to destroy the maritime route. As long as several attack ships go out to sea from time to time, the enemy who is threatened by the route can be put in a dilemma: either distribute a powerful fleet and firmly nail it to the opponent's military port, forcing these precious combat power to be unable to move for years to block the battle: or disperse the navy into countless escort fleets to protect the merchant ships, which will seriously weaken its ability to group operations and be at risk of being defeated by each one.

——This is the basic meaning of the so-called military term "existence fleet".

As a result, Major General Vera did choose to retreat, but he made an incredible decision before retreating.

——He ordered all eight warships under his command to sink and throw them into the sea together with hundreds of artillery installed on the ship!!!

Then, Admiral Vera, who had no warships, led more than 600 soldiers under his command to flee the island of Prispo in a sloop, and headed to the Moon Sea to "turn" to Santilbor where Queen Xinbu was stationed to "stand to resist".

Such a ridiculous combat strategy surprised all international observers.

Although in a critical situation, the frontline commander ordered the destruction of strategic materials on the spot to prevent the enemy from obtaining them, it was not a rare thing. However, the things that Major General Villa destroyed this time were neither bulky food and ammunition, nor barracks, cities or fortresses that could not be moved, but ships that could move by themselves! Even if you really couldn't defeat the enemy and could not defend the port, then it would be okay to drive a ship and escape?

What's more, this is originally on an island, so how can you run without taking a boat?

Moreover, the port of Prisbo Island was not blocked at that time, and there was no problem of being unable to sail. The Ser fleet and the pirates were still busy plundering on Dragon Island. It was not until two days later that they slowly came to Prisbo Island to "take over" the pile of ruins left by Major General Vera.

But Major General Viagra chose the stupidest chiseling ship to sink, which almost completely lost the maritime power of the inland sea.

It is amazing that the war is in progress, but it is not launched in a single shot, and it is so rushing to destroy one's martial arts skills.

But if this guy is a lurking spy from the enemy and doesn't seem to look like it, otherwise, why did he escape back and report to Queen Xinbu?

Treating such a coward who escaped and destroyed the warship in the face of trouble, the rude Queen Xinbu, no matter how she thinks, she should not have any good face.

Therefore, Feili was confused after seeing the news. It was not until he visited the newly elected Archbishop of the newly elected "Holy Coin" of the Woking Church, and Miss Ryuki Mitsui, who had worked happily in the Eastern World for a long time, that he had a little thought about the truth about the matter from this super black-hearted woman who had been in the political arena for many years.

Then, he took these things summarized by others and proudly took them to his girlfriend to show off: "...The reason why Major General Vera was drilling a ship in front of the battle was not because of his mental abnormality, but also his own set of logic: First of all, the power comparison between the enemy and us was suffocating. There was no strong force on the island of Prispo that had not accumulated enough food and ammunition, so he would definitely not be able to defend it.

Secondly, if he leads the fleet directly to escape, the responsibility for defeat will inevitably be taken to him - the commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Robert, had already died in Long Island. According to the practice of the death as the most important thing, there is no need to be responsible for defeat, so he has to accept this shit even if he doesn't want to take it. What's more, no one knows how the military court will judge. Although it is not usually shot, it is really worth it if the superiors want to kill the chicken to warn him, sentence him to exile, hard labor or imprisonment, and fines to make his fortune.

But if one fights hard and retreats again, he can certainly get rid of the infamy, but there are also two sides fighting together on the battlefield and cannot get rid of it, which leads to the danger of being captured or killed by himself.

There is a lack of large docks on the Pirate Islands. These warships have probably been poorly maintained for three years. I heard that even sailors have escaped many of them because of their hardships in life. Therefore, their speed is probably not fast, and they may not be able to break through the encirclement under the pursuit of the enemy fleet.

Judging from actual performance, Major General Vera's goal seemed not to be victory, but to survive just because of survival. Therefore, he chose the seemingly stupid and very safe strategy of "drilling a ship in front of the battleship". After the warship sank, his people no longer pose a threat to the Serre fleet and the transport fleet, and the enemy fleet naturally lost interest in chasing him: What's even better is that after returning to the rear, because there were no warships, Queen Xinbu could not force them to go out to sea again to serve as attack ships and carry out a life-long maritime guerrilla mission.

As long as he is willing to be shameless inquiries from the rear, he can make a loud noise with confidence, saying that this is a preventive measure to prevent the enemy from capturing our ships.

Anyway, the Pirate Islands are obviously unable to defend!

In addition, he did not escape at the last minute, but continued to come back to participate in the resistance, which was enough to prove that he was not a deserter, and should not be responsible for his defeat - although the Fleet of the Star Sea was unable to go out to sea to meet the enemy because there were no warships, so he could only sit on the shore and watch the fun.

In this way, Major General Villa's life will be saved, and there will be no need to fight in the future. There will be arguments to defend and shirk superiors. Even if there is a punishment, it will not be too heavy. At most, it will be forced to retire. Wouldn't this achieve the maximization of personal interests - this is the demeanor of a veteran in the officialdom!"

"...This bastard is indeed smooth enough." Renee finally sighed and shook her head after a moment of silence. "But if everyone thinks about maximizing personal interests, then the war will not be fought!" "There is no way, the so-called Northern Army is such a loose alliance system, full of power and scheming, but lacks unity and cohesion. Otherwise, the state of division of the country would not have lasted for three years without having almost all the regular troops in the country."

Feili shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Of course, the Southern Army was even more miserable. First, with the silver bullet offensive and strong support of the Wokjin Church, the banner of splitting the empire was fooled, but then he was kicked away immediately-

Seeing that these idiots finally took the bait, the Wojin Church immediately turned against each other and announced that it would join the Northern Army camp that maintained imperial unity and justice, and used this Southern Army, which had no money, as a bargaining chip to play politics to such a desperate situation. It was really sad enough..."

“…According to this statement, the Goddess of Wealth is the real opponent of the Goddess of Magic for future dominance?”

Renee seemed a little puzzled when she heard it, "Since the goal of the Woking Church is to defeat us, why should we join us now?" "...It is to defeat us that we have to join us. Well, maybe the word "push down will be more appropriate."

Feili blinked and added that "the competition between magic and money will never stop. But no matter how the two sides fight, their goal is to "develop together" rather than destroying each other... … … … … … … … … Where did this send the message?" Speaking of this, he suddenly noticed the shining red light of the communication crystal ball. He immediately stopped talking, reached out to press it on the crystal ball, closed his eyes and received the message, and then began to hop around his eyelids, as if he had received some incredible news.

"…What's wrong? Dear?" Renee asked casually while turning the wheel again, "…Who sent the magic message?"

"…Ms. Elaszhuo sent me, ordering me to take the Giant Bear Legion away from the large army, set sail at full speed, and set out first to break into the imperial capital..." Feili said with some confusion, "Anyway, we have been ordered to take the lead!"

"…Be the leader? What's wrong?" Renee felt quite curious. "Why should we change the tactical policy formulated in advance?"

"...It's because there was an internal strife in the Southern Army in the imperial capital!" Feiri frowned and continued to answer with a little entanglement, "According to the emergency news sent by the lurking agents, the troops of the two states of Sambiya and Cormier were fighting in the imperial capital for some reason! Our ship was the fastest, so Ms. Elaszhuo ordered our ship to leave the formation and break into the suburbs of the imperial capital at full speed, and then act independently according to the situation to see if we can make a profit in the chaos..."
