Mage Veigar

Chapter 815: The Empire Has No One

With the strength of one person, he leads the army into battle.

And he threatened that he would pacify the Nuolan Empire by the end of winter or the beginning of spring next year?
This statement shocked everyone present, because it was equivalent to Vega handing over the future of the entire Galan Empire to Hausman. If he made a mistake, the entire Galan Empire would be destroyed.

It can be said that this request is excessive to the extreme.

As a king, especially a king with the title of the number one general, why should he assist an unknown general and put all the chips on others? This is unacceptable in any way.

As a senior general.

Hausmann Christian should have understood this, but he brought it up rather unseemly, which aroused Celis's anger: "General Hausmann, are you kidding?"

"Ms. Silis, I have also made a great determination here."

Hausman understood Celis's position, and he gave a humble smile.

"I'm so sorry, I can't believe you."

Qi Lisi said bluntly: "You are putting the lives of His Majesty and everyone present, as well as the future of the entire country on your shoulders? Do you have any misunderstanding of your own value? I don't think anyone here would agree with this."

The meeting fell into silence.

The ball was kicked to Vega's feet again, and now it was time for him to make a decision.

Therefore, Vega looked at Hausman and said, "Although I really want to believe you, Your Excellency, and you must have a lot of determination to say such words in front of everyone, but as Your Excellency can see, as a king, I need to be responsible for the entire country."

"I understand."

Hausman sighed regretfully, his eyes dimmed and filled with disappointment.

He understands everything.

But he was born in the Empire, and he had watched the Empire grow to where it is today. He knew the Empire in more detail than Celis Rodney or even the previous head of state. If he was given enough troops and allowed to go all out, he felt that he had a 10% chance of taking over the Empire in four months.

This 10% chance of success is already quite high.

Once we drag on through the winter, I’m afraid we won’t be able to survive even 10% of the siege by other countries.

But it was rejected as expected.

He originally thought that Vega was a decisive king. If he had proposed that he could destroy the empire, Vega might have placed his hopes on him. But now, he didn't even listen to his analysis of the cause and effect and directly cut off his idea, which made him a little disappointed.

But at this moment, Vega's voice sounded again.

"General Hausmann, I want to hear your reasons."

Vega gestured to invite you in. “But I need to make it clear in advance that even if you have very good reasons, I may not necessarily follow your advice. Please understand this.”

"I understand!"

A terrifying light shone in Hausman's eyes.

It was like a sword covered in dust that shone its cold light for the first time. He coughed twice, and said with an expression more serious than ever before, "I am not bragging. I reached the peak of my career right after my debut, and I have personally witnessed the development of the empire over the years. Therefore, I can assure you with certainty that the empire has millions of troops but no generals available."

"A million elite soldiers and many famous generals are not an exaggeration, right?" Tanier said with some fear.

"General, you are wrong."

Hausman said with certainty: "In the last world war, the Empire was known as the invincible army because its officers understood the most advanced formations and tactics, coupled with its huge air force, advanced military forces, and inexhaustible resources. This made the Empire invincible." "But the appearance of your majesty changed all this."

Hausman hit the nail on the head: "Intelligence, conspiracy, open plot, terrain, public opinion... these new winning factors have been successfully applied by Your Majesty to the war, resulting in the older generation of generals who are stubborn and disdainful of conspiracy and intrigue being unable to adapt to the current rhythm of war. I can tell you with certainty that there are only a handful of officers in the Empire who have mastered guerrilla tactics."

"People's stubbornness is indeed terrible, but it's not this terrible, right?"

Tanier said directly: "The Empire at least has Foster Nolan and the Dean of the Military Research Institute, Eldir Nolan, who maintain a very high level of combat skills. These two people should not be underestimated."

"Foster and Eldir?"

Hausman laughed and said, "In my opinion, Foster's level of tug-of-war is indeed not to be underestimated, but his performance in quick battles that require high-speed reactions is mediocre. The current head of state, Eldir Nolan, is indeed a great man, but it's a pity that he is too old. When a man gets old, he becomes timid."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Hausman with strange eyes.

Coming from the mouth of the snow-white-haired Hausman, these words sounded extremely strange no matter how you listened to them.

However, Hausman was unaware of this: "Therefore, I think that as long as we take a quick and decisive approach and kill the Empire before they can react, we will have a chance to conquer the Empire in four months."

Is this the reason?
Qi Lisi and others did not think this could be used as an excuse at all.

But Vega and Tanniel understood what Hausman said.

As officers in the military field, the two men understood too well how important an excellent commander is.

The empire now has more than five million troops. Although it seems a lot, war is never won by the side with more people. If there are no reliable and alert officers to command the troops, then these five million troops will be like a bloated fat man and can only be reduced to the passive position of being beaten.

in other words.

Hausmann felt that the reason for winning this battle was that the Empire's officers and tactics had completely failed to keep up with the times, and the combat effectiveness formed by piling up troops was definitely not up to par.

The winning point of this battle is——

Win by surprise.

But Hausman did not say this.

Although Vega was curious about what Hausman's "strangeness" was, he was more concerned about another point.

He looked Hausmann in the eye and said, "General, how sure are you?"

"One point of certainty."

Although I have said so much before, Hausman gave an extremely low number.

Vega was overjoyed at this extremely low number: "The battle for the Empire is now handed over to you, but I can't put all my hopes on you, so this time I will give you 8 troops and air forces. Are you satisfied?"

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"

Hausman saluted Vega and said, "I will formulate a detailed battle plan and send it to you within a week. I will never let you down in this battle. I will prove to the Nolan Empire and Foster that their betrayal of me was the most wrong decision."

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Although Hausman had never thought of dying for Vega, Vega's decisive decision did win his admiration. For a moment, Hausman felt that joining the Galan camp might be the most correct decision.
