Solandel raised her baton and crossed the desert area from east to west, saying slowly: "In terms of topography, the desert is higher in the east and lower in the west, and there is an almost vertically high terrain difference in the Gobi in the middle area. This is why the desert

It is not beneficial to Doguland, but the Far East wants to get the desert area."

"This kind of landform is very inconvenient for the low-lying Doguland, especially those vertical Gobi deserts. Whether it is material transportation or personnel dispatch, the cost of management will increase exponentially. But for the high-lying Far East

As far as the imperial dynasty is concerned, there is no obstacle to transporting people or materials to the desert."

"Just imagine, what would happen if the Far Eastern Dynasty took over the desert?"

When Solandel said this, she took the war games with magnets and placed them one by one on the strategic map.

At this moment, a very astonishing scene appeared in front of everyone. The Far Eastern Dynasty occupied various oases in the desert. The supply lines between the border areas and the mainland of the dynasty were unimpeded. Moreover, with the landform trend of high in the east and low in the west, the border army looked down at Dogu.

The land of Rand hangs overhead like a haze in the sky.

Solandel looked at the strategic map and said solemnly: "Once the desert falls under the control of the Far East Dynasty, it will become their frontline base, directly bordering Doguland and overlooking the border of our country."

"This situation will bring extremely terrible pressure to the Doguland border defense. Without any more vicious tactics, the Far Eastern Dynasty will only use the desert as a training ground and lead its troops to train on our border all day long. We

What should we do about border defense?”

"Stationing heavy troops to keep vigilant? That means our border defense military expenditures will increase exponentially, which will bring a huge burden to the national treasury. If things go on like this, it will definitely affect people's livelihood and stability."

"If we leave it alone, if the Far East is practicing and a surprise attack suddenly occurs in the middle of hundreds of exercises, how will the unprepared border guards resist the impact? How many border guards and innocent people will die tragically?"

When Solandel said this, she looked at the princes coldly: "The Far Eastern Dynasty intends to invade the desert. It has such huge ambitions and has actually threatened the survival of the Kingdom of Doguland. You all don't want to resist, but you still want to

Giving up the historical ownership of the desert and giving up that area? Is this stupid or bad?!"

Being scolded like this by a 14-year-old girl, the princes couldn't sit still, and Baldian choked back with an unhappy face: "Whoever raises the problem is responsible for solving it, why don't you give me a solution?"

Solandel said without thinking: "It's very simple. The desert is of no benefit to us. There is no need to recover it and increase the cost of governance, but it must not fall into the hands of the Far Eastern Dynasty."

"The desert is now controlled by horse bandits and does not belong to any party. It is the most beneficial situation for us. The desert controlled by horse bandits will become a natural buffer barrier to prevent the Far Eastern Dynasty from directly bordering Doguland."

"Therefore, we should send troops to attack, help the horse bandits repel the Far Eastern Dynasty's troops, and maintain the current status quo of the independence of the three parties of the Far Eastern Dynasty in the Doguland Desert."

Baldian seemed to have heard some joke, and slammed the table and angrily said: "You have not considered your words at all! We just fought a big war with the desert forces last year, and countless soldiers from the kingdom died in it. Now you are saying that you will send troops to help Ma

Bandits? Ask the dead soldiers if they will answer! Ask your brother if he will answer!"

Bolton's face was extremely gloomy. Obviously, Solandel's words had stimulated his heart. As the commander of the Bloodsand Battle, many of Bolton's soldiers died on the battlefield, and many of them could not even recover their bodies. Now he wants to help.

Horse bandit, this is absolutely difficult to accept emotionally.

Solandelle could feel Bolton's displeasure, but she still lowered her eyes and said an astonishing sentence: "The Battle of Blood Sand is a complete failure in my opinion."

Bolton's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask: "I led the troops to defeat the main force of the horse bandits, how can you say it was a failure?!"

Faced with her brother's questioning, Solandel did not back down out of sympathy and bluntly expressed her inner thoughts: "From a tactical perspective, we did win the Bloodsand Battle. There is no doubt about it. But strategically

What about the level? Did we gain any strategic benefit from the Battle of Blood Sands?"

"The flash point of this war was that the horse bandits stormed the border and massacred the people of Pine Forest Town. But in fact, all the horse bandits who participated in the attack had been captured by the then civil affairs officer Kino. We only need to execute them all, and that will give us comfort.

People who died tragically.”

"However, we finally chose to expand the scale and launch a revenge war against the desert. Yes! We won! Everyone is celebrating the victory in the Blood Sand Battle, but did we really gain anything from the victory?"

"No! Nothing! Before the Battle of Blood Sand, after the Battle of Blood Sand, there was no change in the situation. Doguland was still Doguland, the desert was still a desert. The dead could not be resurrected, but more living people died because of it.

The only thing that has changed is those thousands of families! Parents have lost their children, wives have lost their husbands, and children have lost their fathers! We have sacrificed so many soldiers, and we have gained nothing but victory itself!"

When Solandel said this, she said very unwillingly: "So in my opinion, the Bloodsand Battle, which was a victory at the tactical level, was a complete failure at the strategic level. We spent a lot of money and troops without achieving anything substantial.

Sexual stuff.”

"Even because we severely damaged the main force of the horse bandits, the Far Eastern Dynasty had an opportunity this year to take advantage of the opportunity. If the main force of the desert forces was intact, it would be impossible for the Far Eastern Dynasty to conquer the oases one after another as it is now.

The power to annex the desert."

The conference room was extremely quiet, everyone was silent, and Bolton also lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Baldian snorted coldly when he heard this and said disdainfully: "According to your logic, have you ever thought about how many people would die if we sent troops to go to war with the Far Eastern Dynasty? War is not a child's play, especially this kind of thing.

A war of this scale would probably be ten or a hundred times more tragic than the Battle of Blood Sand!"

"You are not the one going to the battlefield. Of course you can support the war. Anyway, you are sitting in the palace, playing the piano and drinking afternoon tea every day. No matter how hard the front line fights, it can't hurt you. You can just stand and talk without back pain.

"

Solandel said coldly: "Yes. I am young, have never led a soldier, and indeed cannot go to the battlefield. But if a war really breaks out, I am willing to go to the front line as a medical staff. I have learned first aid knowledge in school.

You can help the doctors bandage the soldiers' wounds, or you can let me help the seriously injured wash the urinals."

Having said this, Solandel took off her lace coat and threw it on the table, leaving only a shirt. She looked at Baldian with cold eyes: "What about you? Baldian
