32~ Strategy~
So how exactly should they attack in order to quickly take down Donglai Nation before the Alliance Nations could react? It had to be both fast and minimize losses as much as possible. This difficulty level was quite high for her. After all, a history postgraduate wasn't an encyclopedia. Even if she remembered military strategies from her previous life, it couldn't be very comprehensive. Moreover, she still had to make adjustments based on the situation.
"Let's sleep first. Just think about it slowly over the next few days."
The Empress carried her to the bed, helped arrange her, then also lay down.
They had already bathed. During the bath, the little Princess had been continuously thinking of countermeasures. She saw this with her own eyes. The little Princess was willing to help her and treated it so seriously. This made her very happy.
"Mm..."
The little Princess felt she was also somewhat tired. Her brain had consumed quite a bit, so she directly hugged one of the Empress's arms and fell asleep. A month's time had already made her develop this habit...
......
......
So... it was still that same question. How should they attack Donglai?
The little Princess looked at the map and fell into contemplation again. She had roughly determined what attack method to use, but still needed to make fine adjustments.
"How's it going?"
The Empress picked up the planning document the little Princess had just stopped writing and looked at it for a while.
As expected, Mo was a complete genius~ She could quickly plan such a brilliantly clever strategy using existing conditions. Even she felt somewhat apprehensive. What would happen if Mo became her enemy?
But she quickly dismissed this absurd thought. Mo was hers, belonged to her alone. How could she become her enemy?
Blitzkrieg. This was the little Princess's plan. Lightning strike Penglai Nation from the southwest side, using surprise attack tactics to rapidly push the battle line toward the city where the opponent's Imperial City was located, catching them completely off guard, quickly taking this place before the Alliance Nations could react.
You had to know that information transmission here wasn't as fast as in modern times. Although magic's effect had accelerated information transmission speed considerably, it was only much faster compared to a world without magic. Compared to modern times, it was even slower than turtle speed. This primarily relied on an information gap.
Moreover, during the surprise attack process, as long as the capture speed was fast enough, perhaps even Penglai Nation itself wouldn't be able to react in time to assemble military forces.
"What an excellent blitzkrieg, what an excellent exploitation of information gaps."
The Empress very excitedly hugged the little Princess tight. With such a genius by her side, it was like adding wings to a tiger. How could she worry about not being able to unify the Eastern Region?
In just two days, she had thought of a thorough plan, relying on equipment advantages to quickly make judgments and formulate the most suitable attack strategy. If this wasn't genius, what was?
"You continue writing. We'll adopt your strategy."
Upon hearing this, the little Princess immediately felt immense pressure. When the Empress didn't say anything it was fine, but once she did, she felt the responsibility on her shoulders was extremely heavy.
Looking at the little Princess buried in deep thought, the more she looked, the more she liked her, the more satisfied she became. Why not give Mo a surprise after she comes of age?
The Empress thought.
"Your Majesty, General Qin requests an audience."
Ling knocked on the door and reported.
"Have him wait outside for me. I'll be out very soon."
Immediately after, using magic to copy this detailed strategy to another notebook, she went to see General Qin.
"Your Majesty."
"Rise. Come look at this."
The Empress handed the copied strategy to General Qin.
"This is..."
When the strategy document was handed to him, he was still puzzled. How was it completed so quickly? Immediately after, his face showed shock. This was a tactic that had never been proposed before. Even he had to admire the feasibility and boldness of this tactic.
And when he learned from the Empress's mouth that such tactics were actually proposed and formulated by the little Princess, he was even more filled with admiration, completely convinced of what the Empress had once said about the little Princess's military achievements being higher than all the generals.
"Then... may I ask Your Majesty, this humble subject would like to exchange views with Princess Mo..."
"Wait until after Donglai is conquered. Right now Mo is still perfecting the strategy."
"Yes."
Although it was regrettable not to be able to see Princess Mo and exchange views, when he heard the little Princess was still perfecting the strategy, he didn't dare disturb her. He thought that waiting until after Donglai was conquered would be fine. For now, the big picture was most important.
After having Ling send General Qin away, the Empress also rarely didn't go find the little Princess, but returned to the bedchamber to rest.
"Meow~"
Chocolate and Vanilla, seeing it was the Empress who had fed them before, slipped to her feet continuously rubbing their faces against her, occasionally exposing their bellies acting cute and begging for attention.
"If only Mo could cling to me like you two."
The Empress had her little scheme, picking up the two cats to hold on her lap, as if the little Princess was sitting on her lap right now. The cats also very cooperatively laid one cat per leg, enjoying the Empress's stroking.
Now Scarlet Phoenix Nation's situation was getting better and better, the frequency of launching wars also getting higher and higher. Apart from the Eastern Region here, the Western Region of the continent had also already noticed this country continuously encroaching on the Eastern Region.
If countries from the Western Region also wanted to get involved, she would have to change her strategy. After all, the original idea and strategy of unifying the Eastern Region was built on the premise that the Western Region didn't interfere.
Of course, the fact that she hadn't attacked the Western Region these years didn't mean she wouldn't. After unifying the Eastern Region in the future, she would attack the Western Region. At that time, it would probably just be pushing straight through, right?
"Meow meow~"
The cat's meowing pulled her back to reality. After petting the cats for a while more, she returned to the little Princess's side. After washing her hands, she continued petting the little Princess.
As expected, petting Mo was still more satisfying.
The Empress thought.
......
"Your Highness, Your Highness~"
Xiyan carried in a plate of sweets and tea, placing them on the table with a sweet smile:
"Your Highness worked hard. These are sweets I prepared for you. Your Highness, don't tire yourself out."
"Mm, thank you."
The little Princess stroked Xiyan's head, also conveniently scratching under her chin, then picked up a cup of steaming hot black tea and drank.
Xiyan happily giggled foolishly on the side. Today Princess Mo patted her head to reward her again, and even went further to touch her chin! Ehehe~ A beautiful life was right before her eyes!
Ever since discovering this little loli could be happy for an entire day just from verbal rewards or head pats and such, then work hard to prepare snacks for her and follow commands, every time after Xiyan brought her sweets, tea, or helped her get things, she would conveniently pat her head.
This was a rare obedient and cute loli. Who wouldn't want such a cute, gentle, and obedient little loli? Anyway, she was very satisfied with this cute little loli maid. Most importantly, she was capable! Ahem, capable in the literal sense.
"Your Highness, can I take a look? Can I, can I?"
"Go ahead and look."
Considering this little loli maid wasn't an outsider, was her personal maid, and had passed the Empress's test with sufficient loyalty, she didn't mind.
Xiyan moved close to the little Princess, looking at the planning document like a curious baby, also taking advantage of her inattention to quietly hold her little hand again.
Held Princess Mo's little hand again, ehehe~
