Chapter 79: Grand Duke’s Thoughts

　　 In fact, not only was Falkenridge panicked, the officers of Stasi were not much better than them.
　　 I don't know what others think, anyway, when they heard this change order, the soldiers on the front line were relieved in their hearts.
　　 In this way, they don't have to hold the heart of death, and attack the enemy's tightly armed defensive positions. This is simply the best news.
　　 Among the people who rushed to rejoice, that officer was undoubtedly the most relaxed one.
　　 Yesterday, when he was ordered to lead his troops out of the camp and into the border area, when he was ready to attack the Yanlong Fortress, he could see that the army of the Principality was not ready for war.
　　 Most of the soldiers and the troops to which they belonged did not receive enough tents and other living supplies.
　　 Many troops have heard that they have already reached the attack area without even having enough weapons. These poor guys often only have a knife or sword in their hands. They are only better than those mobs, and they are simply not enough to support an attack.
　　 Don't think that Stasi's army is so well equipped, it's all relative.
　　 Today's countries in the Western Continent generally lack productivity, and magical technology has not developed enough to support half of the superstructure. The four most powerful empires are okay, but among small countries like Stasi and Falkenridge, it can be said to be a tragic process.
　　What, the soldier on your side only has a sword and simple leather armor? Sorry, the soldiers on my side may not even be able to eat.
　　 Half of your cavalry unit became infantry because the horses had no grass to eat? The archers on my side have been abandoned because there are no arrows available.
　　 is such a tragic situation.
　　 In the whole country, usually one or two front-line troops can maintain 90% of the combat effectiveness, which can be said to be thankful. The other troops can only be temporarily wronged...
　　 This is also the position of the four empires, the fundamental reason that few people have been able to shake it!
　　 Of course, it is impossible for a small officer to think of such a big level. He just has an illusion that once the offensive begins, the entire Eastern Front of Stasi may collapse.
　　 But in the face of all this, he has nothing to do!
　　 Now someone said to him that the offensive plan has been cancelled. This is simply a good thing for him to cheer and celebrate...
Even so, he doesn't have the guts to laugh out loud now. He can only suppress his excited expression and ask: "Then... is the entire frontline offense cancelled, or our offensive plan for this period cancelled? ?"
　　 "I heard that all the offensive plans have been postponed. At least they used the term postponement, but the order issued to all troops was that the offense was cancelled."
　　 Chuan Lingbing told everything he knew.
　　 In fact, he saw a little more than the officer in front of him. When he rode his horse all the way, he saw many troops that were not ready for war, marching on the rough road.
　　 As just said, these temporarily organized offensive forces, due to insufficient logistical preparation, have been messed up to the point of collapse.
　　 It is precisely because of this that the commanders of the various units dare not attack, and they pray in their hearts that the people above can change their minds.
　　 God knows if their prayers have worked, anyway, they don’t have to continue to attack now, which is a blessing thing.
On the other side of the border, the Falkenridge soldiers who had been waiting for a long time looked at the Stasi soldiers who hadn’t crossed the border. After being noisy for a while, they didn’t even cross the border to fight. Situation.
　　 "I said...what did they shout just now? Why didn't they come?" Behind the bunker, a young soldier was sharpening his knife with a stone, and asked his companion nervously.
　　His comrade-in-arms obviously didn't know how to answer this question, and just snorted: "Who knows what they think... Anyway, don't relax, they haven't retreated yet!"
　　 "I said, they won't think about it, don't you think they don't want to fight anymore?" The previous soldier looked at the army standing still in the distance and asked curiously.
　　 "Don't fight? That would be better..." The comrade-in-arms kept a vigilant posture without moving, and casually replied something like this-but who would have thought that a soldier's nonsense would actually reveal the truth...
　　 At the same moment, the city of Dean, the capital of Stasi.
　　In the luxurious ducal palace, many military officers and government officials stood there, afraid to look at Grand Duke Jon, whose face was so gloomy that he could almost squeeze out the water.
　　 And Grand Duke Jon seemed to have not spoken for a long time, he just sat like this, and then stroked the magic gem ring on his finger.
　　 He looked at these men in front of him, knowing that if he didn't speak first, or directly ordered one or several of them to be killed, the silence would last until tomorrow or even the morning after.
　　 So, he still spoke, with a slow and cold tone: "When I need to show justice, you tell me that the great and glorious army of the Principality of Stasi cannot be used?"
　　 "More than 100,000 soldiers have prepared this country for war, but you told me that you, as commanders, cannot provide enough food and weapons for these brave soldiers?"
　　 "Our national strength is more than ten times that of the past, but you are now telling me that you cannot maintain the glory of the country!"
　　 "Under the leadership of my ancestors, this country has defeated countless enemies who attempted to invade. We are not afraid of powerful enemies, and we don't know what compromise is!"
　　 Grand Duke Jon took a sigh of relief, and tore to pieces the letter from the new King Falkenridge on the table proposing the so-called "generational friendship".
"But now some people are used to being blessed and don't want to fight anymore. I dare say that even a goblin is not more timid than some people!" By the time Grand Duke Jon said this, his speech was already It's pretty fast.
　　All the officers present involuntarily swallowed a spit-they were really afraid of Grand Duke Jon's methods.
　　 You must know how this man who was once regarded as a waste wood climbed up step by step!
　　 Besides, anyone who has lived in Stasi for generations cannot forget the iron-blood rule that began ten years ago...
　　Although Grand Duke Jon cancelled the offensive order because of too many people's advice, no one can extinguish Duke Jon's anger.
　　 Although he agreed not to attack Falkenrich out of various considerations, he requested that the future attack plan be advanced to an earlier time.
Don’t forget that in the change of the capital, the princess Enid he was fond of was killed by the guy named Ailuo, and Stowe was also taken advantage of. After Stowe returned home, everything that happened to Barrington was I told Grand Duke Jon, and the latter understood everything immediately.
　　 Coupled with the long-term hatred between the two countries, he didn't plan to forget this account, but to store it first, and finally liquidate it together with the profits.
"Forget it this time... But my lightning storm plan will be further expanded, and it can't be delayed! It must be completed in twelve years! Understand?" Grand Duke Jon hammered the table and yelled at his men. Tao.
　　 The Lightning Storm Project is a plan that Jon spent two days and nights drafting after he became the Grand Duke, dedicated to comprehensively improving the national strength of Stasi, and then dominating the Western Continent.
In fact, the strategic plan that guided Stasi’s official rise and shaken Minysk’s position in one fell swoop has been continuously revised and executed over the years, and the scale has become so huge that people are afraid of it. One part of it was not completed. Stasi's national strength has been about twice as strong as before, and it has the strength to completely defeat Falkenridge. It is conceivable that it will be completely completed.
In the heart of Grand Duke Jon, when this plan is completely completed, Stasi, who has no worries, will be ready to dispatch a full 400,000 troops on the border between the two countries to instantly destroy Falkenridge’s border guards with all his strength, and Occupy its entire territory in one breath.
　　If conditions permit, before the four empires show an attitude that is not conducive to Stasi, they should occupy the southern part of the continent, conquer several kingdoms in one fell swoop, and expand their sphere of influence to an astonishing degree.
　　Only in this way can it create a momentum to deter Minysk and shake its status as the head of the Nine Kingdoms.
　　 After all... Jon will not be satisfied with being a trivial prince, he wants to be a king, even an emperor!
　　He wants to rule the world!
　　 As for the things in front of me, naturally it will not be so simple.
　　 Now that Falkenridge is in chaos, it is indeed a good opportunity to take this opportunity to destroy it. But the new king has repeatedly put forward in public that world peace should begin with the friendship between the two countries, and he often writes personal letters to show his respect.
This practice was even praised by the Vatican Chen Xi, who believed that the little king named Wes had the virtues of humility and benevolence respected by the God of Light. Even the Sacred Dragon City of the Longyan Empire indirectly admitted that this practice is very suitable for metal. The idea of ​​the Dragon Race.
Under the influence of the two empires, Stasi's country was also affected. For example, among the people standing in front of Grand Duke Jon, there are devout believers from the Holy See in Chenxi who advised him to suspend the attack, let alone the domestic people. Attitude.
　　 As a human country on the Western Continent, at least half of the people in Stasi believe in the God of Light...
　　 This is the power of public opinion.
In addition, the current Stasi is really not ready. Although the rash attack is sure to take Falkenridge, it will also burn most of the accumulation of these years~EbookFREE.me~ So under comprehensive consideration , Grand Duke Jon will give up this attractive opportunity and choose to continue to accumulate strength.
　　As Ailuo expected, Grand Duke Jon can spend a few years turning from a waste wood nobleman to the lord of the duchy, and naturally he can spend more time preparing for greater ambitions.
　　 But as mentioned earlier, Stasi threatened Falkenrich to fail and took the initiative to retreat the troops on the border. This would already be a laughing matter among other kingdoms.
　　 In this case, as a famous national leader, Grand Duke Jon’s character determines that he can’t just forget this shame.
"Don't ease up on Falkenridge's tough attitude. Continue to reiterate that our behavior is just to get justice! But privately pay attention to communicating with the Holy See and the metal dragon to express our willingness for peace." Grand Duke Jon thought about it. Yes, he said so.
Looking at the unsatisfied officers and generals over there, Grand Duke Jon finally said: "Everyone must hurry up, I need to see the completion of the Lightning Storm plan as soon as possible! That is what we must do, sacred The Stasi's double eagle flag will surely be inserted throughout the Western Continent!"
　　 "Yes, Grand Duke Jon! We understand!" Everyone saluted and replied, and then walked out of the palace one after another.
　　 When everyone left the palace, the harshness in the eyes of Grand Duke Jon suddenly increased a bit.
　　 "Airo is right... I remember you. What an illegitimate child, I think you made the king! Very good, since you want to play, I will stay with you to the end!"
　　 Don’t you want the king to please me in exchange for more preparation time? Then it’s okay, I can also use this in reverse, paralyze the rest of Falkenrich, and cultivate a killer who can get rid of you...
