Chapter 900 (1/2)
Before the war, we should pay attention to logistics and intelligence, and after the war, we should still pay attention to logistics and intelligence.
When you have inexhaustible supplies and a clear grasp of information about how much wheat the enemy has, you are not far from victory.
Of course, with endless supplies and clear intelligence, you also need an army that can win the war.
After all, you don't even have troops that can win the war. What's the use of having endless supplies and knowing all the enemy's intelligence?
——Su Chengyu and Deng Jiaer were chatting

The total strength of the vanguard force is only more than 10000, so there are not many senior generals in the army enough to participate in the military conference.
Only seven people, including Deng Jiaer and Samuel, attended the military conference.
As soon as people arrived, Deng Jiaer directly told everyone present about the information currently collected.
”There are tens of thousands of reinforcements from the holy Hiram empire.”
”According to the information one day ago, they are now located in a wilderness 80 miles east of us.”
”Of course, because this is the information one day ago, they don't know where they are and whether they are moving. They have to wait for the scouts to send new information.”
”But whether they have moved or not, it is an indisputable fact that the reinforcements of the Holy Hiran empire are now very close to us.”
80 Li - this is not very close, but not very far away on the battlefield.
After Deng Jiaer simply shared the information collected to the audience, Samuel took the lead in frowning and said:
”The holy Hiram Empire has sent tens of thousands of reinforcements this time. If we want to meet the enemy of this scale, we are really reluctant with our current strength.”
”So I propose - withdraw now.”
”Join forces with the main force under the command of the commander and gather the combat strength of the whole army of our East Route Army to meet the reinforcements of the God of war St. Helan Empire - in this way, we can also have a better chance of winning.”
Although it is not clear how many reinforcements there are in the holy Hiram Empire, according to the description of the scouts, there should be at least 40000 reinforcements in the holy Hiram empire.
Their vanguard troops fought all the way from chuboer fortress. Every time they occupied a city, they scored some soldiers to guard the newly occupied city.
With this continuous division of troops, the total strength of their vanguard force is now just over 10000.
Use 10000 people to confront an enemy force with at least 40000 people - anyone who has learned a little arithmetic can figure out which side has the advantage and which side has the disadvantage.
Therefore, Samuel's proposal is the best strategy at present - meet the main force in the rear, and then gather the whole army of the East Road army to meet the reinforcements of the Holy Hiran empire.
So as soon as Samuel's voice fell, almost everyone here nodded and expressed their agreement with Samuel's proposal.
However - only one person did not nod.
That's Deng Jiaer.
Deng Jia'er looked seriously at the map in front of him.
Seeing that Deng Jiaer had no response, Samuel couldn't help asking Deng Jiaer:
”Coach?”
“！” Deng Jiaer was awakened by Samuel's voice, and then quickly turned to Samuel and asked, ”what's the matter?”
”Commander, are you thinking about the strategy of breaking the enemy?” Samuel asked in a half joking tone.
”Yes.” Deng Jia'er looked ashamed and scratched her hair. ”It's true... But there's too little information at present. Even how many people there are in the enemy don't know.”
”With this amount of information, it is impossible to come up with any feasible and reliable strategy.”
”We are in urgent need of information, all kinds of information“
After hearing what Deng Jiaer said, Samuel said with a bitter smile:
”Coach, I know how you feel about information.”
