The 355th chapter promotion ceremony (5)
The central region is generally a plain with flat mountains, which brings convenience of transportation and has also caused most cities to be without danger. There are only a few hills in the central region. Relying on these not-high mountains, several fortress-type cities that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, Enris is one of them. As long as Enris is taken down, a large area north of the city with the twins as the center will be of the Gemini Kingdom. Just defending this large area can already form a powerful kingdom, and it can also resist possible attacks based on Enris.
This is a decision with great benefits but also great risks. The 300 kilometers of land between Enris and Twin Cities does not belong to the Gemini Kingdom, which is equivalent to Catherine running 300 kilometers to seize an enclave.
"Isn't this too risky?" Ai Xue said. This plan was formulated by the military headquarters led by Catherine. She didn't know about it before. Today is the first time she knew about the military headquarters' combat plan.
Catherine looked at Danica and saw that Her Majesty the Queen said nothing, so she turned to Ai Xue and explained: "That's right. Our current military and soldiers are better than those warlords who fought all year round in the central region, but it doesn't mean we can always be invincible. If you can get a good place in this land, those warlords have very powerful survival skills and can't fight head-on. They have some ways to fight with us. At the beginning, we might be able to rely on our military to fight a few beautiful battles, but it's not certain later. Although I still have confidence that we can win, it will definitely not be as relaxed as it was at the beginning. Since that's the case, I'm thinking about how to maximize the benefits of those first few victories. Among these cities around the Twin Cities, I think Enris is the most valuable. Although we have to run 300 kilometers long, believe me and our army, we can definitely take Enris down!"
Aishi wanted to say something, and at this time Danica spoke: "Okay, although this is a bold battle plan, it is not impossible. Tell me, Katherine, what kind of support do you need to win this battle?"
Catherine knew what Ai Xue wanted to say, and why she questioned the combat plan. The army led by Catherine was very independent, and food, arms, and salary were allocated monthly by the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce. This is the way Her Majesty the Queen controls the army. Although she feels like she is restricted, it is not without benefits. At least the boss’s problem of military supplies does not need to be considered. This is the case in daily life, and it is the same when fighting. During the war, the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce is also responsible for the large amount of supplies needed by the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce. The responsibility of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce is not to keep up with the supply.
For this battle, Catherine needed to lead the army to raid 300 kilometers long, which means that Ai Xue also had to find a way to send the supply needed by the army to 300 kilometers away. Compared with that, Ai Xue was under greater pressure. However, after real results, the main contribution was still to the military headquarters. Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce did not get any benefits even if it worked so much. Therefore, Ai Xue did not like any radical combat plan, especially that it might cause supply difficulties.
Ai Xue wants to consider Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce, and Catherine also wants to consider those soldiers who are waiting for military merits in the military headquarters. So she ignored Ai Xue's resentful eyes and said, "The long-distance raid and fighting three hundred kilometers away is the most important thing about supply. If the supply can keep up, Enris City will definitely be able to take it down."
Danica glanced at Ai Xue with an unhappy look and asked, "How much supplies do you need?"
Katherine had estimated it before, and she said, "Five days, I need five days of food and weapons and consumables."
Danica asked Aishi, "Is there any problem?"
Ai Xue didn't dare to say too much. If something happened, she couldn't afford it. The master hated the kind of person who boasted about taking the task but couldn't finish it. So Ai Xue could only say honestly: "It's a bit difficult."
"What's the difficulty?" said Danica. "I remember there was a hill next to Enris City, right? Now I'll arrange for people to transport supplies in the name of a caravan and hide those things on that mountain. When Catherine brings people to Enris City, just dig out the supplies."
Ai Xue's face turned slightly red and she felt very ashamed. She had been thinking about how to provide sufficient supplies to Catherine's army after the war started, but she didn't expect to prepare in advance. As a subject of Her Majesty the Queen, she should have solved the problem for the Queen, but now she still needs to find a way to solve it herself when she encounters a problem. She is already a little dereliction of duty.
Ai Xue lowered her head and said, "No, there is no problem."
Danica nodded and said, "That's good. You can cooperate with this matter and don't have any problems."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen/Master." Catherine and Aishi responded in unison.
Danica said to Lemil: "You also make some preparations, how do you place it when Catherine returns to victory."
Lemir lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Danica waved her hand and said, "It's more than three months left to sow. Be prepared during this period. If you have any questions, you should tell me in time. Okay, let's do it."
Although it was not obvious, Ai Xue could still see that Danica seemed a little tired, and they didn't dare to say anything. They responded and retreated.
After Ai Xue and the others left, Danica yawned a big yawn. She is really tired now, so it would be better to have another sleep.
...
During the Chinese New Year, it is a good time to relax and relax. When chatting with family and friends, all kinds of gossip are indispensable. Whether it is true or false, as long as it is interesting, no one cares about the true or false.
During the Chinese New Year this year, a news suddenly spread, and everyone was saying: The Gemini Kingdom is going to fight against the outside world! As for whom to fight with and whom to fight with, there is no one knows, only this news was passed on. In order to make this message more similar, many people started "second creation" and can answer many questions, such as:
Why fight?
Her Majesty spends so much money every year to maintain a strong army, is it just for defense? That would be a loss, and fighting foreign wars can be regarded as a full use of the army.
Where to hit?
There are many answers to this question. People say it to all the cities around Twin Cities, and everyone says it is precise, as if there is such a detailed combat plan. If the two people have different opinions, they will fall into a fierce debate and even part in a bad mood.
In short, this topic has brought enough topics to the residents of Twin Cities during the Chinese New Year to play at will. Everyone holds a different viewpoint, but no one thinks that war should not be fought. This is the central region, the central region that has been chaotic for thousands of years. The residents here are used to starting a war if they have strength. If they have the potential to win, they will have to support them. After all, they have the opportunity to enjoy the dividends brought by the victory.
During the Chinese New Year, there was a little snow, and the snowflakes fell, covering the entire city. Danica stood on the balcony, looking at the snow scene outside through the glass.
One or two petals, snowflakes like petals, fell down, covering everything, and the good and the bad were buried in the snow.
"Finished?" Danica said lightly, without any emotion in it.
Emily, who was standing behind her, lowered her head and said, "Yes, I found it. The news was leaked by a shop under the Aixue Chamber of Commerce. He was involved in the delivery of supplies. Although no one told him why this was for, he guessed it."
The news that the Gemini Kingdom was going to fight against the outside world did not suddenly emerge for no reason, mainly because Emily's crow monitor heard a news that the Gemini Kingdom was going to fight against the outside world, and it was probably Enris three hundred kilometers away.
When Emily knew about this, the news had already spread in a small range. At this time, she could not suppress it at all. There was no way, so she had to take the initiative to spread some seemingly wrong news to confuse the public. In Catherine's plan, if the first battle against Enris was to win, it would depend on suddenness to a large extent. If the city was full of rumors that the Gemini Kingdom was going to attack Enris, what would be the suddenness to talk about!
"Aixue Chamber of Commerce? It's Aixue Chamber of Commerce again." Danica frowned slightly, her tone was not very good. Aixue Chamber of Commerce had had problems several times before.
Emily looked up at Danica, lowered her face again quickly, and said to Ai Xue a small sentence: "The Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce hires a lot of people, and the quality is uneven, so it is indeed easy to have problems."
In comparison, in the administrative department led by Lemil, all bureaucrats need strict assessments to be promoted to that position, and competition for many positions is still very fierce. In the Gemini Kingdom, only by passing the assessment can one become an "official". This hard-won identity naturally needs to be cherished, and you need a little news when speaking and doing things. Not to mention the army, the military discipline of the Gemini Kingdom has always been strict, and the army mainly lives in the garrison and does not have so many intersections with ordinary people. Only Ai Xue's Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce has many things to be responsible for, but it does not have the status of a noble bureaucrat like the administrative department. After the matter is arranged at all levels, many things to be done are done by the shops. The shops come from all directions and do not need any strict screening. Ai Xue's management of his subordinates is naturally not as good as Lemil and Catherine, so there are often problems with her.
Of course, there are a lot of reasons to find, but Danica is not looking at the reason, but the result, and the result is that there are often problems with the Aishi Chamber of Commerce.

Danica said: "Tell Ai Xue the news and let her come to me tomorrow morning and talk about what happened to the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce."
Emily lowered her head and said, "Yes, Master." Ai Xue is awful now. The master does not manage specific things normally. The things that need to be done in the normal operation of the Gemini Kingdom are all subject to Ai Xue and the others. But it does not mean that the master ignores the country. If anything happens, Ai Xue and the others can solve it. In the end, it will be serious.
Ai Xue didn't want to sleep tonight, and Emily thought to herself when she stepped down.
Because there were other things to be busy with, Emily did not tell Ai Xue about this. It was a bit regrettable that she did not appreciate Ai Xue's surprised expression after hearing the news, which must be very interesting.
The next day was January 5th in the Elf Clan calendar, and she was still in the lively Chinese New Year. However, no matter how lively and noisy it was meaningless to Ai Xue, she was in an extremely heavy mood now.
