Chapter 573 (1/2)
”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?”
