Chapter 178
Anthony couldn't help smiling wryly, the two had too much confidence in themselves.

"I don't have the ability to predict things like this. If I had known that there would be today's changes, I would have urged His Majesty the King to capture both Ke Qishi and Duke Finney. Wouldn't it be more worry-free and labor-saving?"

"That's true." General John nodded.

Mueller didn't believe it: "No, if you hadn't expected the rebellion in the Brussels province, how could you let Lin Zhifeng remind us not to send too many troops to the rescue, but to leave enough forces to guard Burgundy? No. Brother, don’t be too modest.”

It seems that performing too well will also bring some unexpected minor annoyances. For example, some words and deeds I make at will will be interpreted by others in seventy, eighty or ninety ways.

Anthony felt the need for a formal explanation.

"Although the Taranto rebels have already retreated, with Frankie's ability, it is expected that there will be some backup. After the battle, the soldiers are tired and always have to rest and recuperate. Whether it is one day or two or three days, anyway It is unlikely to be able to catch up with the opponent. It is better to wait and see the changes in the situation before making plans, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap in a hurry."

After Anthony explained the reason for letting the army rest in place, he turned the topic to the Burgundian reinforcements.

"The province of Burgundy is located in the heart of the glorious empire, and it is connected to the imperial capital and other major provinces. After Grand Duke Mateus paved the road, the transportation conditions have been greatly improved, and it can be used as a communication center Hub. At a difficult time when there are powerful enemies outside and rebels inside, Burgundy can respond to changes in the situation in various battles and deploy combat forces in a targeted manner. Its strategic position is extremely important. Therefore, whether it is for protecting For their own safety, they still have enough power to respond to other battlefields. If not necessary, the Burgundian army should try to stay still or move less.”

Anthony talked eloquently, and Muller and General John nodded repeatedly.

After listening to the boy's explanation, the two understood the reasons and intentions of his series of arrangements.Although the mysterious halo of the prophet was removed, the admiration and admiration of the two generals for Anthony did not diminish, but was even greater than before.

Foresight, or relying on superhuman intuition to understand the opponent's intentions and make targeted arrangements accordingly, such inhuman abilities will of course arouse people's envy, jealousy and hatred.

However, through detailed analysis and understanding of the situation of both the enemy and us, making full use of or even actively creating various favorable conditions, and closely combining the changes in the current situation, in order to make the most reasonable and appropriate arrangements, this kind of command and dispatch is extraordinary in the ordinary. , but it is even more admirable from the bottom of my heart.

Reminiscent of Antony’s previous plan to vigorously build roads throughout the empire, it is closely related to Burgundy’s geographical location and its role in this war.

A good fighter has no great achievements!

Muller and General John understood the meaning of this sentence deeply.It turned out that Anthony's plan had already gone beyond the battlefield.

If the young man hadn't explained it himself, and the two things happened to be lined up together, who knows how many such inconspicuous things he has done.It is even more impossible to understand how much energy and thought these little things have spent on him, and what an indispensable role they play in the huge chess game outlined in his mind.

After all, Muller is younger and has a quick mind. He followed Anthony's thinking and quickly put forward his own ideas tentatively.

"What does that brother mean, to solve the Brussels army that invaded my Burgundy first?"

In terms of military strength, although Brussels is stronger than Taranto, it is also limited.Compared with Aberdeen, Burgundy is more than a star and a half higher.Even without Müller's Tiger Cavalry, the invading Brussels army could not get any cheap.

This is why Muller can be so calm.

If according to his proposal, take advantage of the Taranto rebels returning to the stalls where the provincial capital city is fully defending, turn their guns and deal with Brussels first.Combining the power of the two major provinces, and having the advantage and convenience of playing at home, to destroy the relatively weak Brussels, it is three fingers to hold the snails, and it is almost certain.

Anthony thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

The proposal was rejected, and Mueller was not discouraged, and soon thought of another idea.

"Why don't we also use our own methods to treat others? That old man Finney dared to send someone to my house to find trouble, so we also went to his lair to light a fire and see what he can do against us. The Allied Forces of the Great Provinces."

This time Anthony didn't even think about it, he just shook his head and vetoed it.

"Brussels chose to rebel at this point, and it may have something to do with Franky's plan. He just used this trick against us, and he will definitely prevent us from playing it against him. It is not far from Burgundy. It's close, but it's even farther away from Brussels. The mighty army drove past, and they couldn't hide it. Unless Frankie was blind and deaf, he would definitely receive the news. If he also led the Taranto army to step in , the situation will evolve into a big battle of the four major provinces. At this point in time, it is not good for our glorious empire."

General John frowned, and also suggested: "How about we pursue the victory and try to beat Taranto to death with a stick first. Then we will withdraw our hands and concentrate on dealing with Brussels. Anyway, according to General Muller, Brussels can't do anything for the time being." We have won the Burgundian army at home. We can just take this opportunity to attack with all our strength and take down Keqishi and Frankie."

Even without counting the old and new enmity between Aberdeen and Taranto, General John was very afraid of Franky as an opponent, and wanted to get rid of it quickly.For the first time, he personally felt how a good commander can bring a huge improvement to the strength of the army, and what kind of deadly threat it can bring to the opponent.If there is a chance, General John must first completely kill the famous general of Riga.In order to prevent him from continuing to stir up trouble, he didn't know when he would suddenly jump out and bite himself hard.

Anthony continued to shake his head, as if he could only do this action today.

"If there is no sudden attack by Brussels, General John's proposal is a good idea. With our current strength, we should be quite sure of taking Taranto. But it is almost impossible to win a quick battle. Don't forget, both of us In so many previous battles, the enemy only relied on the hastily built fortifications in the wild. That's it, the opponents are so difficult. This time they defend the city, the difficulty can be imagined. If we are impatient If you are eager for success, not only will you not be able to defeat the enemy quickly, but it is very likely that you will be taken advantage of by the enemy."

General John nodded and fell silent.

Muller's mind turned quickly, and he was keenly aware of something.

"From what you mean, brother, it seems that you are trying your best to avoid a full-scale war with the two major provinces?"

Mueller was puzzled.

There is no doubt that it would be very disadvantageous to have successive wars within the empire when there are strong enemies from outside.But the problem is that now it's not like you don't have to fight if you don't want to fight.The opponent has already led the army to attack the gate of his own side. If he doesn't fight back vigorously, is he going to kneel down and surrender?
Not to mention the Brussels army that hit Burgundy, even Taranto, which has withdrawn to its old nest, seems to be on the defensive, but if Frankie finds an opportunity, he may not lead the army out again.

In such a situation, avoiding war wholeheartedly will not help solve the problem. Instead, it will fuel the enemy's arrogance and damage the morale of one's own soldiers.

"That's right." Anthony nodded, affirming his thoughts, but did not intend to explain further.

"General Muller, please lead the Tiger Cavalry Regiment back to Burgundy and fully assist in the defense. General John, please also lead the troops back to Aberdeen, and be on strict guard against the surprise attack of Taranto. In addition, two generals are also invited Go back and tell Duke Mateus and Duke Edwards that during this period of time, try to focus on defense, and do not fight if you can. Even if you want to fight, try to control the scale of the battle as much as possible."

In his capacity, of course he is not qualified to dictate and command the people in power of the two major provinces on such a military matter.But the situation was such that he couldn't help but remain silent. He only hoped that the two dukes would be open-minded and listen to his suggestions.

Mueller raised his head suddenly, with a very surprised expression on his face.

In the two major battlefields of rebellion and rebellion, whether it is the Aberdeen and Tiger Cavalry Regiment against Taranto, or Burgundy against Brussels, the own side has a clear advantage.Even considering the casualties of soldiers and the difficulty of implementation, we do not pursue a quick solution.But there is no reason to take a completely defensive position and allow this civil war to drag on indefinitely.

Muller is now more and more sure that this miraculous boy who has repeatedly created miracles must be worried about something in his heart.

"Mr. Anthony, are you going to be with us?"

Hearing the young man's explanation, it was obvious that he wanted to part ways with the two armies, and General John became anxious immediately.

After being played around by Frankie, and seeing him and Anthony's wonderful battle on the battlefield, General John's mentality suddenly fell from a burst of confidence, like diving into a serious lack of confidence.Although Anthony's requirement is to focus on defense, the difficulty of the task can be said to be greatly reduced, but without Anthony's presence, he is still very worried about whether he can handle the scheming Franky.

"Yes, I have other things to deal with, so I'll leave it to the two generals."

Anthony, who had only taken over the command for only 3 days, gave up his position without hesitation.

"Where are you going?" Mueller asked curiously.

He didn't have as many thoughts as General John. Anyway, he should take Anthony's words back to the old man at home. How to make decisions is his business, and it's not his turn to worry about it.But at this moment, Anthony left the two main battlefields and went to other places. The things he had to deal with were definitely not trivial.

Anthony sighed faintly, raised his hand, pointed to the north lightly, and said meaningfully:

"Five of the six major provinces of the empire, whether internally or externally, have fallen into a war, and the fighting is extremely fierce. Only the last one is left, and it is still very peaceful now!"
