Chapter 37 The real conspiracy!



As the voice sounded, the entire city of Shatli flashed with light, and began to be dyed green and red. The red naturally represented the current control range of the Imperial Army. It can be seen that they are all small pieces and are being compressed rapidly. Most of the red blocks are already far away from the city center.

Obviously, for the Empire, the situation in Shatli has become so bad that it is completely out of control!

The electronic synthesized voice continued:

"The Empire still hasn't given any effective response. The Emperor still hasn't left the Summer Palace in the Baltic Sea. The cabinet is busy fighting for the position of the outgoing Minister of the Interior. The news of the demise of the Ratnes family has also spread. The nobles are immediately undercurrents, coveting the family's hereditary territory - 7,000 hectares of fertile land outside of Chateli! Therefore, they can't expect to reach a consensus in the short term."

"Therefore, it can be almost concluded that the emergency distress report was buried under a thick file. The only reinforcement came from the neighboring Tami County, but the storm delayed their journey. At the same time, due to our interference, the Tami County army could only carry three days of baggage and two bases of ammunition. Therefore, even with the most pessimistic estimate, we still have five days."

After grasping the latest situation, several senior directors breathed a sigh of relief. Some loosened their ties, some took a sip of coffee, and some adjusted their sitting posture to make themselves more comfortable.

However, this did not include Mixia. She was still looking at, or rather locking onto, an area on the map in front of her. After a long while, she said calmly:

"No matter how the situation changes in our favor, I still want to remind you of a fact, a very cruel fact, a very cruel fact that we must face! Please look at these figures of the battle loss ratio shown in the data!"

"After planning for 836 days, we united with the Bantu tribe, incited some people, and finally passed the Balance Act at all costs, reducing the imperial garrison stationed in Shatli to half of the previous number... In the face of such a huge advantage, the casualty ratio is... one to three."

"One soldier of the Imperial Army can kill three of our active forces! This is still in the chaotic urban street fighting. If the legions gather together and fight face to face, it is not surprising that the casualty ratio will be doubled! Therefore, don't look at the remaining forces of the Empire retreating step by step. However, after they gather together, they still have the ability to turn the tables!"

Mixia's words were like a bucket of cold water pouring down on them, but everyone present knew very well that honest advice was unpleasant to the ear. After frowning and thinking, one of the directors said:

"Yes, perhaps in terms of individual combat power and in small-scale battles involving less than ten people, we can gain an advantage, but in large-scale frontal battlefields, we have no way to compete head-on with the organized army built by the Empire's war machine. For now, it is indeed not time to be completely optimistic."

Mixia said coldly:

"So, I'm not the kind of person who likes to pour cold water on others, but of the five goals we set for the attack on Shatley, we've only achieved two of them."

As she spoke, she lightly pointed towards the center of the table, and the virtual desktop was quickly enlarged, showing the Minsk Cathedral where Du Yuqi was at the moment!

"Now I see that one of our targets, the Minsk Cathedral, was not taken in the first place. Although a circle of ice and snow blockade was built outside, since it was not taken in the first place, then based on the current force layout, it is almost impossible to expect the Bantu people to make any breakthrough progress in the short term."

"NO, NO, NO." A senior director who was sitting on the left side of Mixia suddenly retorted. He was sitting with his legs crossed on the sofa at the back, and his chin slightly raised when he looked at people, so he had a compelling aura. It can be seen that he is a very confident person and full of energy.

"My reliable deputy, Xiongri Shou, is currently in charge of Shatli. He has completed my mission of wiping out the Ratnis family from the world very well. He is now in the ice and snow blockade established by the Bantu tribe. The Minsk Cathedral has already taken in more than a thousand refugees."

"And their latest plan is to create more refugees to attack the Minsk Cathedral in the coming period. This is an outright conspiracy. The cathedral may be strong, but the strongest fortress is often breached from the inside! The tens of thousands of refugees driven in will completely destroy the Minsk Cathedral's logistical supply capabilities in a short period of time! It won't be long before the thing in the Minsk Cathedral will appear in front of us."

Mixia sneered and said:

"Mr. Thor, is this also worthy of being called an open conspiracy? Please don't insult these two words, okay? In my opinion, this plan does have a certain success rate, but at most only a half success rate! If this plan fails, then do you have a backup plan?"

Thor sat up straight at once, spread out his hands gracefully and said:

"Tsk tsk, a 50% success rate... Let me ask you, how can they deal with a large number of refugees pouring into the Minsk Cathedral? Will they start killing each other if they disagree? Haha, that would be the best. The reputation of Holy Light accumulated over thousands of years would be destroyed in an instant! If they are accepted, we can mix in a large number of spies. We don't even need to send spies in. We can directly cause a devastating blow to their logistical supplies. You know, although there is no snow in Shatli now, the lowest temperature at night has reached minus 11 degrees Celsius. In just three days, the other side will collapse without a fight!"

Mixia said calmly:

"If this plan had been used ten hours ago, it would have been an absolute conspiracy. But if it hasn't been used yet, then the success rate is only 50%. The longer it takes, the lower the success rate will be."

Thor smiled, crossed his legs again, and made a "please" gesture. His body language clearly meant that he should stop talking nonsense and tell the solution if he had the ability.

Mixia said:

"It's so easy to crack the conspiracy you mentioned. Why is the Minsk Cathedral so attractive to refugees? Of course, it's because the refugees think there is a glimmer of hope inside and they can get shelter here. So, we just need to eliminate this idea from them."

Thor's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat and his body involuntarily leaned forward.

Mixia then sneered:

"If I were to do it, I would find a group of fanatics and pretend to be the insiders you sent out to be stationed in the cathedral. I would first 'accidentally injure' most of the refugees who have entered the Minsk Cathedral, and then use magic or alchemy to create a large area of ​​poisonous gas, or a sea of ​​fire, or the unique death frost fog on the thousand-year-old snow mountain around the Minsk Cathedral, freezing everyone who enters into ice sculptures!"

"The church can immediately announce that it is your conspiracy that has turned the area around the church into a dead zone, and that anyone who enters will die first. Then, in this case, will the refugees still rush to the Minsk church knowing that they will die if they rush in? I am afraid that the more you push, the more fierce the refugees' resistance will be! At the same time, the people of the Minsk Church can protect their own safety by doing this, and they can also put all the casualties on your head. How could they not do such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

Thor's expression finally changed. He took a deep breath and said:

"You are right, but there is a prerequisite for this countermeasure, and that is that we must strike first! All of this must be done before we launch an attack."

Mixia said calmly:

"That's why I said there's a 50% chance of success! This series of actions sounds complicated, but it's actually much easier for the church to execute. Just find the right people and do the right things, and it can be done within an hour! And what the Xiongri Guards and the Bantu tribe are going to do is exactly the opposite. It sounds simple, just four words: create refugees, but how about doing it? Haha."

When Mixia used the two words "hehe" to express her feelings, the other directors couldn't help but nod slightly.

Everyone present was a powerful figure, so management was a compulsory course for them. Mixia easily resonated with them in their hearts with just two words.

"Think about it. To create refugees, you first need to drive these people out of their homes. This process will encounter very fierce resistance, and it cannot be too brutal or bloody. Otherwise, these people will turn against you and fight against you, and the hatred will only be attributed to you. And have you ever calculated how many refugees you need to drive in to directly cause the logistics of the Minsk Cathedral to collapse in a short period of time?"

Thor shook his head slightly.

Mixia said:

"After seeing your plan, I did a simple calculation based on the information I have. The number of refugees that need to be successfully driven into the cathedral must be at least 15,600 to achieve the effect you want. Given the current situation, it is not difficult to create 15,000 refugees. It is also not difficult to drive these 15,000 refugees into the cathedral like driving sheep. However, it is very difficult to do it in just two or three days... very difficult!"

"Because neither the Xiongri Guards nor the Bantu tribe are the army, and they cannot enforce discipline. The Bantu tribe is originally a group of scattered sand. It can be said that they have done their best to set up an ice and snow blockade to besiege the Minsk Cathedral. But asking them to attack civilians, burn their houses, kill their relatives, and force them to enter the church is definitely not something that everyone will agree with!"

"What? You said that we can use public opinion to guide the refugees to go to the church spontaneously. OK, this is a good idea, but to induce at least 15,000 refugees to enter the church without leaving any trace, at least 500 insiders are needed, and among them, there must be three or four people who have very high prestige among the surrounding people and have the ability to command the support of hundreds of people. Do you have this prerequisite? I don't remember that this was mentioned in your previous plan."

Thor said simply:

"In fact, this plan was proposed by Xiong Rishou ten hours ago. We do not have the conditions you mentioned."

Mixia stopped talking, leaned back in her chair, stretched out her slender finger and waved, indicating to move on to the next topic.

But she didn't want to talk, but others might not want her to remain silent. Immediately, another senior director said slowly:

"From your conversation just now, I smelled the smell of failure, but this time we have invested too much in Shatley, so I think in order to ensure reliable returns, we should formulate a follow-up plan for the Minsk Cathedral. Once the Bantu people fail to capture this place for a long time, then this plan will come in handy. At least it can effectively ensure that our rights and interests are not harmed. For this reason..."

The director's eyes showed a playful look:

"I suggest that whoever develops and implements the follow-up plan, once it successfully reaches the target, can receive an additional 15% of the budget allocation for next year, without being monitored."

Thor's expression changed suddenly, and he opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out.

After listening to this, Mixia pondered for a while and said:

"With an additional 20% budget allocation and A+ level authorization, I can guarantee that the Minsk Cathedral will be destroyed within an hour! Of course, the prerequisite is to give me 48 hours to prepare."

Thor finally lost his composure after hearing what Misha said. He stood up all of a sudden, propped up the table with both hands, and said word by word:

"This is impossible! Taking down the Minsk Cathedral within an hour, do you know what you are talking about?"

Mixia said calmly:

"If you want to see a true conspiracy, then give me the authority and let our enemies experience the despair and fear of knowing clearly what you are going to do but being unable to stop it!"

She said it lightly, but her tone was firm! Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed by, and cast its shadow, just like a shadow, covering the entire Chateli City!
