Chapter 304 Target, [Haiyan City]!


    ?Hearing Lanster’s suggestion, other generals and staff present expressed their agreement:


    “What Lanster said makes sense.”


    “Lord Nemesis, our army has just experienced a great battle and needs to recuperate. It is indeed not suitable for long-distance combat.”


    “I also think Lanster’s suggestion can be considered.”


    ?This operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the most important thing is that it is easy to offend people. Considering their own interests, these generals are inclined not to go to war.


    Tina did not support Lanster. She looked at Su Yu with a smile, looking forward to his decision.


    Su Yu pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.


    ?Then he put his hands on the conference table, leaned forward, and looked at Lanster with a smile:


    “Lansit, let me ask you, what should we do if the royal families and big nobles of these small countries pass on the pressure of paying tribute to the common people under their rule through heavy taxes?”


    "Just pass it on." Lanster looked puzzled: "What do the civilians of their country care about our business? Can''t we just get the benefits?"


    Hearing his answer, Su Yu''s eyes gradually became dangerous:


    “What you said is not in line with Her Royal Highness’s philosophy of governing the country. Her Royal Highness attaches great importance to people’s livelihood and always puts the people’s interests first. It is precisely because of this that she has won the support and support of the vast majority of civilians.”


    "But now we no longer need the support of civilians!" Lanster patiently explained to Su Yu with an experienced attitude:


    "When the war first started, we really needed the support of civilians, so we said these kind words to appease these mud-legged people. Now that the war is over, who cares about the life and death of these mud-legged people? As long as we give them the minimum living security, let them not Isn’t it okay to cause trouble?”


    Hearing Lanster''s words, the other generals and staff nodded with deep understanding.


    ?Although the princess has always been kind to the common people and promulgated various educational, medical, and financial policies that are beneficial to the common people, everyone feels that the princess is acting.


    They believe that after the civilians lose their use value, the princess will slowly change these policies back.


    ?Emperors, kings, and nobles throughout history were all like this. At first they claimed to be for the people, but in the end they put the interests of the ruling group first.


    Seeing the attitudes of these generals and staff, Su Yu smiled and shook his head.


    ?It seems that Alijie is going to disappoint them.


    Su Yu looked at Lanster, crossed his arms and smiled: "It seems that your thoughts are not in line with the country''s policy concepts. So, go back to your hometown and reflect for a while, and think carefully about where you went wrong."


    Su Yu winked at Tina.


    Tina understood, stood up and said seriously: "Lansit, you have been relieved of the position of ''senior staff'' and can now leave the military camp."


    “What?!” Lanster’s eyes widened.


    ??Just because he told the truth, he was going to be kicked out of the military camp? What kind of military law is this?


    ?Just when he was about to defend himself, Fiona, Tina''s deputy, pulled out the noble ceremonial sword and pointed it at him. The cold light flashing from the ceremonial sword made him shudder.


    ?Lancet instantly softened and rolled and crawled out of the military tent.


    Seeing Lanster being driven out of the military tent, the other generals and staff were so surprised that they were speechless.


    ??Isn''t this guy too tempered? Fired a senior staff member over a disagreement?


    Su Yu''s eyes swept around the military tent at the right time: "Do you have any opinions?"


    “No! No objection at all!”


    "Lord Nemesis, you are right! This kind of person should have been dismissed a long time ago!" "Lansit dared to make such ridiculous remarks. He is indeed not suitable to be an aide anymore!"


    The general’s staff present answered loudly one by one, and no one was willing to speak for Lanster.


    They were also afraid that after speaking for Lanster, Su Yu would be kicked out of the military tent in a daze.


    "Well, that''s good." Su Yu nodded with satisfaction: "From now on, everyone should listen to my and Tina''s instructions and go back to study and study Her Royal Highness''s policy of governing the country seriously. If anyone dares to question my plan like Lanster, I will end up with him!"


    “Understood, Lord Nemesis!”


    “We will study it carefully when we go back, and we will definitely live up to your expectations.”


    ??The general''s staff responded one after another without daring to express their anger.


    ?Now that Su Yu is Tian, ??whatever he says will be whatever he says.


    ?After a while, Fiona directed the soldiers to bring a huge map as tall as a person.


    This map depicts in detail the ten principalities and more than one hundred principality city-states in the northwest of the empire.


    ??Whether it is mountains, rivers, road traffic, major cities, or military deployment, these are all marked in detail on the map.


    Su Yu, Tina and the general staff present had a detailed discussion on how to send out troops, how to allocate military power, the course of action of high-level experts, what goals they expected to achieve, etc.


    Hour and a half later.


    Su Yu pointed to a large coastal city in the west of the map and said: "I have decided that this is our first attack target, [Haiyan City]!"


    “Lord Nemesis, is this a little too radical?” Lucas, the deputy marshal of the empire, worried:


    “[Haiyan City] is the capital of [Hills Commercial Federation], and there are seventh-level strong men sitting there.”


    "And the most important thing is that [Haiyan City] is too far away from the empire. We have to cross the Kingdom of Kunkel to get there. Even a mixed second- and third-level elite force will take at least seven days of marching to get there. "


    ?Deputy Marshal Lucas served as acting generalissimo for a while before Tina took over. He is experienced and steady in using troops. He has never been very fond of this kind of risky and radical offensive strategy.


    The strategy proposed by Su Yu is like when clearing a dungeon. There are 4 bosses in the dungeon. The first three bosses are on the way to pass the level. Su Yu proposed to use speed to get rid of the first three bosses and kill them directly at the end of the level. Same as boss.


    ?It’s too risky and too radical.


    After listening to Su Yu''s words, Tina''s eyes lit up: "Nemesis, I understand what you mean. Are you afraid that nobles from other kingdoms will transfer their assets away?"


    Su Yu snapped his fingers: "Correct answer! Tina, you are still smart!"


    [Haiyan City] is located on the westernmost side of the entire continent, almost symmetrical with the Plantagenet Empire''s [Pearl City].


    ??If most of the ocean trade on the east side of the continent passes through [Pearl City], more than half of the ocean trade on the west side of the continent will pass through [Haiyan City].


    ??If Su Yu adopts a conservative marching strategy and pushes forward little by little from east to west, the kingdoms and principalities along the way will transfer their property to other continents through [Haiyan City] for safety. In this way, Su Yu''s mission completion rate will not be very high.


    ??If Su Yu strikes directly at the "heart" of the enemy and destroys [Haiyan City] first, then the property of these kingdoms and principalities cannot be transferred and will fall into Su Yu''s pocket.
