Chapter 159: Old and New Problems
Vashj finally said, "I propose to attack the Kingdom of Winter, Gretz."
"Reason."
"In the battle of the Kingdom of Spring, three of our corps suffered heavy losses and need to be replenished and trained, which takes time. The Kingdom of Autumn and the Kingdom of Summer both have a large number of armies, and they are now on guard against us. It is difficult to achieve results with only our current twelve main combat corps. Ymir of the Kingdom of Autumn sent an invitation..." Vashj glanced at Rocky and continued, "Maybe Rocky trusts him very much, but I personally don't trust him at all. In addition to the military advantage, there are also resources. 's problem, the ancient heritage of the Kingdom of Winter may bring us help. Low risk, high return, this is why I chose Gretz."
Richard nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well said, do you have any other opinions?"
After waiting for a while, no one else raised any opinions, Richard said, "Let's raise our hands and vote." After
looking around, Richard continued, "It's passed unanimously, then the meeting is adjourned, and everyone goes back to prepare! Vashj stays."
After everyone left, Richard sighed, and Vashj asked, "What's wrong? Master?"
Richard shook his head and said, "I called this meeting to listen to other people's opinions, but you..."
Vashj put her hair behind her ears and said, "This is also normal. Our generals are used to accepting orders, especially Zonoz Yoshisa, who has accepted it for tens of thousands of years. Among the senior generals who have been with us for a long time, only Xavius has the ability to make and execute decisions. As for the newcomers, no one except Primatis is willing to put forward opinions. You know, it is not easy to raise opinions at combat meetings. If a wrong opinion leads to the failure of a battle, we will be held seriously responsible. "
Richard said his thoughts: "However, our future path is extremely difficult. Every choice requires the wisdom of all parties. You and I often have the same opinions. If we make a wrong judgment once, at the very least, all our previous efforts will be in vain and we will return to the starting point. At the worst, we will all die without a burial place."
Vashj was silent for a moment and said: "I will communicate with Primadis and others to prevent them from being idle."
"Yes."
"In addition." Vashj whispered, "The contradiction between the old and new factions has deepened again."
Richard put the baton into the box and said: "You are talking about Zonoz and Diluka. Zonoz's performance is very obvious."
"Yes. It started after returning from Lilbana. The addition of fresh blood made these 'old men' feel that their positions were squeezed out, especially after the establishment of the new department, the newly joined Primatis became the deputy of the General Staff, and the Operations Department was placed under the jurisdiction of the General Staff. In particular, the combat effectiveness of these newcomers is far inferior to that of the 'old men', but they have climbed above the 'old men' who were promoted for their military exploits. Naturally, they will be dissatisfied. Except for Savis and his subordinates who are directly under you, the other 'old men' have more or less this feeling."
Richard smiled and said, "That's my fault."
"That's not the case." Vashj explained, "If it were me, I would also choose those beautiful and capable girls. It's not that those 'old men' are incompetent. They are still the force we need to rely on in combat. "
That's right. The newcomers in Lilbana are all weak in combat power, but what do you think of the new goddess who joined this time?"
Vashj shook her head: "Her combat power is average. Zonoz was injured by her because he underestimated the enemy. In terms of actual combat power, Zonoz is stronger than her. Zonoz's power is also unfathomable. Moreover, this goddess may not help us, at least not now. We have to guard against her possible betrayal."
"So he looks down on the new goddess."
Vashj shrugged: "It's not just Diluka, like Primathis, and even me."
"You? "
Vashj smiled and said, "Yes, although I have followed you for thousands of years, I am also a newcomer in their eyes. The only thing that makes me better than them is that I am smarter. At the beginning, they all looked down on me."
"At the beginning, how about now?"
Vashj twisted her body and said, "Who dares to look down on me now? I have contributed partly to our current situation."
Richard shook his fingers, "No, it is a great contribution."
Vashj bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, master. These 'old men' have struggled for thousands of years and have not been able to gain a foothold in the Eastern Kingdom, but it only took us a few years. So I got their recognition."
"What do you think of the others? "
Vashj looked straight at Richard: "What they need is time. Primathis has also contributed a lot, but their attitude has not changed. What I have more than Primathis is that I have stayed with you for thousands of years longer."
"Then how do you think we can correct the views of the 'old people'?"
Vashj shook her head: "There is no way. This situation is unavoidable no matter what. If I were them, I would also have opinions about these newcomers, and I would resist their orders. Only time can change their views. If you force them, it will only have the opposite effect."
Richard said with his hands on his hips: "So we can only continue to win to ensure that there are no major problems inside. After returning to Azeroth, assign more tasks to these old people. In fact, I am also responsible for this situation. I did neglect them a little. After all, they are brothers who have followed me for so many years."
Brothers with the predecessor for so many years. Richard added silently in his heart, and then changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. The goddesses are also a problem. If we can get them to our side, it will be of great help to us. However, they are more difficult to deal with than the Red Dragon Queen. They don't have the fatal weakness of the Red Dragon Queen. They have extraordinary strength and divine power. You have also seen the divine power. That kind of summoning technique is really troublesome. Unless they are completely trapped on our side, they cannot be used."
"This is indeed a problem."
"But we can think about this slowly. Now let's intensify the training of the troops, and repair the Prayer Maiden as soon as possible. It would be best if she can be used when attacking Gretz."
"Yes, master."
"Report! "A guard ran in from the door. "Yu Zesheng wants to see you."
"Yu Zesheng? Got it, let him wait in the conference room."
"Yes!"
Richard looked at Vashj: "Yu Zesheng? What is he doing here? Have you bought anything from him recently?"
Vashj spread her hands to prove her innocence: "I didn't, but he sells adult products, and I can't use them even if I buy them. Let's meet him when he comes."
