Chapter 573

"Why me?" After a burst of consternation appeared on Sean's face, it quickly turned into shock and disbelief, but it was soon replaced by an unhappiness, "wait, this is not quite right. No matter what I think, it is obviously not enough to serve as a battlefield commander? This is a very lucrative job, especially now that the southern battlefield is almost a foregone conclusion, which...... "

Finally, Sean didn't need to say it anymore, because he had realized the real reason why yasna made him commander of the southern battlefield.

As we all know, being the commander of a main battlefield is not an easy job. It can even be said that it is a double-edged sword. Unless people are very confident in their own strength, no one is willing or takes the initiative to ask for this position.

The reason is very simple. In addition to being responsible for battlefield command, a main battlefield commander also has the responsibility of coordinating and coordinating all military forces and nobles in the battlefield. Therefore, for many battlefield commanders, dealing with nobles is a hard work, because these nobles will hold you back when you need to. However, for the superiors, they don't care whether the nobles are really helping or helping. They will only think that you are incompetent, delaying fighters, etc. once these crimes are committed, the most serious result may be to directly deprive the noble title.

Therefore, few people are willing to assume the role of battlefield commander unless they have genuine talent and learning or think they have strong diplomatic ability.

That's why Sean feels bad.

However, just as Sean understood the meaning of "double-edged sword".

Since there is a bad side, there is naturally a good side.

If the battlefield commander is responsible for winning a victory or even an all-round victory on the battlefield, then this is a battle merit that can make anyone jealous, and it is also a major battle merit that no one can take away. In other words, on the southern battlefield currently divided by the Principality of lane, no matter who is the commander of the southern battlefield, he can definitely add a strong mark to his resume as long as the war is over.

This is why yasna recommended Sean as the commander of the southern battlefield.

Because today's situation is completely fought by Sean alone, it can be said that Sean's credit is the greatest. After all, in this process, the Principality of Ryan did not give Sean any form of support at all. At this time, when a so-called commander suddenly parachuted, she could easily take nearly 90% of Sean's credit, which even yasna couldn't see.

Of course, another consideration of Athena was to pave the way for Sean to enter the upper aristocratic circle of the Principality of Ryan.

"The price is very heavy." Seeing that Athena was just smiling, Sean sighed helplessly.

He knew very well that if the commander of the southern battlefield was not him, he would not be able to keep so many territories until the end of the war. Maybe he would even be rewarded with a baron title, not even a territory. Because he knew very well that the nobles like jackals in the Principality of lane had long been very jealous of the rich territory and military power he occupied, so he must have a sufficient identity and prominent military achievements in order to keep everything he had fought hard after the war.

"It's not heavy." Athena shook her head. "I just pay the price of losing being the commander in chief. But the jackals did not dare to erase my credit as the commander of the southeast battlefield. And most importantly, the fertile area in the northwest of dabion is enough for the jackals to fight. "

"But you also lost the chance to settle in Fengshen lake." Sean said sharply.

He didn't forget that the deal he made with yasna was to let yasna settle in Fengshen lake. But now, if yasna doesn't serve as the president of this national war, the great achievements and achievements in breaking the capital of King dabion will not be included in yasna's name. Moreover, because the southeast war zone borders the kingdom of France, yasna will even be forced to fight with the kingdom of France, which is definitely a thankless thing.

Suddenly, Sean's mind suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt. He was shocked and looked at Athena in amazement: "where's tonis fortress?"

Athena looked a little unnatural.

At this time, Sean didn't understand that in order to enable him to become the commander of the southern theater, yasna not only lost the name of the General Commander of the whole battle, but even handed over tonis fortress, which would be a great price. You know, in the first war between the Principality of lane and the kingdom of dabion, Athena invested all the resources captured in the war into the construction of tonis fortress. It can be said that this fortress is all Athena's efforts.

But now, the fortress has been expropriated by the Principality of lane, which means that Athena has even lost her territory.

"It's nothing. At least if the southeast theater wins, I can freely delineate the territory." Yasna was free and easy, and the unnatural color on her face flashed away. "Besides, even if I lose tonis fortress, I can build another one in the new territory, but it takes a long time. And once dabion becomes history, Fort tonis will be of little value. "

"Hum." Sean snorted coldly. He knew that the real importance of tonis fortress to Athena was more than that, but Athena didn't want to answer positively. Even if Sean knew these things, he couldn't speak, "I'm afraid the jackals in the Principality of lane are more than that. They agree with you to arbitrarily delineate territory in the southeast theater of dabion, but this territory must border with the kingdom of France, right This is clearly to put on the first line of conflict with the kingdom of France. "

"Is there a difference?" Yasina smiled. "Maybe this time I seem to have lost a lot of things, but if I take a long-term view, who can guarantee that I won't get more things?"

Strictly speaking, Sean knew that Athena was right.

In terms of short-term interests, yasna can be said to have made great sacrifices, not only losing the general command of the war with dabion, but even tonis fortress, which is undoubtedly worse for yasna, who is already in economic distress. However, in terms of long-term interests, her harvest is also huge. At least after the end of this war, Florence will become a Marquis of strength. In addition, the situation in the southern theater is stable. As long as there are no big mistakes, Sean's Marquis of strength will certainly not run away, In this way, it means that Athena has two strong Marquis as her political allies in the kingdom of Ryan.

And look at hatch boulder sitting here with yasna at the moment, which means that the boulder family must be on yasna's side in the future. In addition, the Dubai family willing to sacrifice family interests and rebel with the boulder family, the joining of these two families is naturally an extremely strong reinforcement for yasna, a newly established aristocratic circle. After all, even now, the boulder family has many outstanding talents, and these talents will play a very important role in the future principality of lane.

In other words, although it seems that the war with the kingdom of dabion is weakening yasna's strength, in fact, all the people who gain the greatest benefits through the war with the kingdom of dabion are yasna's future allies. This is actually equal to the growth of Athena in exchanging time for strength, which is very similar to Sean's development plan in the period when he first started from scratch.

However, although Sean knew and understood yasna's actions and reasons, he still felt very unhappy.

Because of the practice of the Principality of lane, Sean felt very sick.

"I will return the thunder front to you soon." Sean said in a deep voice.

"I'm not in a hurry." Yasna shook her head, "because at present, even if I want to start a war, I can't do it in a short time. After all, the war has just been triggered in the northwest theater, and although the situation on your side is stable, the supply line can't be too deep, so I have nothing to do in a short time. And in a strict sense, both tequila collar and romia collar can be classified into the northwest theater. At that time, even if the war in the northwest theater opens, I will have strong backup. "

As for yasina's statement, hatch, the old fox, quickly nodded and said, "Lord yasina, please rest assured that I will fully cooperate with your actions at that time."

"I would like to thank Lord hatch for his full support." Athena smiled, then turned her head to Sean and said again, "since everything that should be said has been told to me, I have one thing to ask you for help now."

"You don't need to say anything polite. Your sacrifice has far exceeded our original agreement. I'm not that kind of person who doesn't know good or bad."

Sean's words made hatch a little confused, but he knew his current identity and the reason why Athena brought him here. In fact, hatch was also very curious about Sean Connery, a young man. Although he guessed more than once that the relationship between Sean and Athena was not simple, until he heard Sean's words, hatch knew that the relationship between the two people might be deeper than he thought.

Yasna nodded, so her next words were no longer polite to Sean: "I hope you can contain and even attract all the fighting forces in the south of dabion. I'm ready to join Lord hatch and Lord Bourne to counter attack the tequila collar As long as we successfully join the private soldiers of the boulder family led by tequila, then I can open the front in the southeast theater of dabion and drag dabion into the situation of three front operation. "

Sean frowned and said in a deep voice, "but if you want to counter attack the tequila collar, you need to cross at least three Dabian territories. Even if I contain Dabian's southern aristocratic troops, others will stop you from moving forward. And even if the meeting is really successful, today's tequila leader is already a lonely place on the map. At that time, you will face the dilemma of lack of logistics and troops. "

"At that point, we still need Lord Sean's cooperation." This time, hutch said, "after taking back the tequila collar, I will let Bourne lead the troops to ensure the safety of the logistics line, and then all logistics materials will pass through the southern theater in your charge, Lord Sean. Therefore, your control over the southern theater will be directly related to the lifeline of me and Lord Bourne and Athena."

"Wait, you mean... There are only three of you in the southeast theater?" Sean's face changed slightly.

"I hate to admit it, but in fact, it's exactly what you said." Yasna smiled helplessly and bitterly, "it's true that I, Lord Bourne and Lord hatch are the only ones who are really responsible for all the military operations in the southeast war zone of dabion. Although several other nobles have joined the southeast war zone, you should know their purpose even if I don't say it. As for the military affairs department of the Principality of Ryan, They have made a decision before and will fully support the northwest theater. "

"Hum." This time, Sean's face was not so simple, but really ugly.

"By the way, there is another thing I must tell you."

"Come on, I'm afraid the worst news won't disappoint me." Sean curled his mouth.

"Because the current situation is the most stable in your southern theater, there will probably be several nobles coming to you to share a share." Athena hesitated, but said, "I hope... You don't offend these nobles as much as possible."

"Oh, it depends on whether they are qualified to take a share from me." Sean's face was very clear. "Well, since I am the commander of the southern theater, then this theater has the final say. As for the nobles, you don't need to worry. I will end the southern theater as soon as possible, and then tilt my troops and resources towards you. "

Looking at the expression on Sean's face, yasna knew that even if she tried to persuade him, it was useless, so she stopped talking, nodded and agreed to Sean's arrangement. Of course, her heart was praying silently, hoping that the nobles who were about to take a share in the southern war zone would not be so stupid.
