"Um?"

The eyes of the female Tsar Ekaterina lit up, and her already beautiful appearance immediately made the ministers present bow their heads.

Although Katerina's female Tsar has been in power for several years, she is actually only in her early 20s!

In this era, we were old enough to get married. When the female Tsar Caterina was 12 years old, she showed her beauty's appearance and was caught by the Crown Prince of the Tsar at that time.

As a result, the Crown Prince of Tsar, who had just ascended the throne and had not waited to settle down, was trusted by his own fiancée, who had not had time to get married and go to bed to enjoy the power.

However, the original intention of the female Tsar Ekaterina's coup in seizing power was not because of its greed for power, but because the female Tsar Ekaterina's female Tsar disliked the Crown Prince's appearance was too ugly and did not conform to his aesthetic view. In addition, he was independent in character and did not like to be controlled by his elders. Therefore,

This is also the reason why the female Tsar Catherine never let her fiancé touch her at that time.

It’s okay if you’re ugly, but Caterina’s fiancé is not very smart enough to be mediocre!

It would be fine if this Tsar was an ordinary person, but the master of an empire was mediocrity and original sin!

He has no talent and no appearance, and is fascinated by Caterina. How can Caterina be worthy of herself if she doesn’t coup and seize power?

However, after successfully seizing power, Caterina killed her original fiancé, leaving a bad image of killing her husband to the aristocratic class of the entire Tsarist Empire. In addition, Caterina's vision was higher after taking power, and never recruited men to a house. Gradually, no man dared to desecrate Ekaterina's beautiful face.

However, the female Tsar Katerina enjoys other people's attitude very much, and she regards it as a fear of her outsiders!

The ruler of an empire naturally needs to make everyone afraid of themselves in order to maintain their own power.

"Now the Moscow Front has blocked the Han army's Eastern Route Army and stabilized the defense line. It is difficult for the Han army to break through. They have few troops, so we are still fighting locally. After losing the momentum of the war, the rest is the war of attrition.

By the same token, we also stabilized the front of the Western Route Army. Although the Western Route Army suffered heavy losses, the Swedish dwarves increased their attacks on the former Polish Lithuanian nobles, and the war zone was already bordering the controlled area of ​​the Han army. The Han army's Western Route Army had to distribute some of its forces to resist the infiltration of the Swedish dwarves.

Therefore, the defense line in the Smolensk region is relatively stable.

The only thing that threatens the empire is the Central Army of the Han Empire.

According to the report of Marshal Paplov, the commander of this central army is likely to be the invincible emperor of the Han Empire.

This emperor has the ability to summon the legion of incredible summoning and can temporarily summon the army on the battlefield.

However, based on the previous record of the emperor, his summoning legion was not at no cost. Although the scale of the summoning legion was steadily expanding, it was only about a thousand people at a time.

Even if the emperor of the Han Empire could summon several rounds, only a few thousand or even tens of thousands of people were summoned.

On the battlefield of 100,000 people, although it has influence, it is not decisive.

However, the Han Empire emperor summoned advanced artillery in the legion, and it was difficult to win by defending the city defense.

Originally, the Han Empire's attack on us could be more perfect, but the emperor of the Han Empire was arrogant and the Central Army only brought 50,000 Han troops. Even if he had the ability to summon the legion, he could be destroyed by one move.

Our only chance of winning is to completely destroy the Han army in the field before the Han Empire increased its strength in the middle army.

Even if the Han Emperor is let go, it doesn't matter.

The Han Empire's field troops in Eastern Europe have been put into the battlefield. The local military households of the Han Empire have to deal with the nomadic Mongolian army in Ukraine. As long as this Han army is destroyed, the Han Empire will not be able to gather a combat-capable army from Eastern Europe in a short time.

At that time, the ability of the emperor of the Han Empire to summon the legion could only save the Eastern European region from falling, and he was unable to craft the local area of ​​the Tsarist Russian Empire at all.

Sooner or later, the Swedish dwarves will take away the former Polish Lithuanian nobles who fought to the death. As long as the Swedish dwarves complete the breakthrough, the Han Empire will face the risk of fighting on four fronts, and its strategic advantages will come back to our hands."

"Dmitry, it is too risky for us to fight against the Han army in the field. We cannot use city defense and field defense fortifications to resist the Han army step by step and consume their troops?"

The female Tsar Ekaterina was puzzled.

She doesn't want to take military adventures now, because the Tsarist Russian Empire has no foundation anymore!

The comprehensive mobilization has been carried out once. If it is mobilized again, even the labor force in the necessary positions will be drawn out. Doing so will only accelerate the collapse of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

After all, people need to live and eat.

Dmitry shook his head. If the questioner was not his immediate boss, Tsar, he would have sprayed back.

How idiots do this to propose the concept of defense step by step?

However, facing his own Tsar, Dmitry did not dare to feel dissatisfied in his tone and explained patiently:

"His Majesty the Tsar, there are two main reasons why we cannot defend in the middle.

First, our artillery is far inferior to the Han army. Whether it is field fortifications or city defense fortifications, it becomes extra fragile in front of the Han army's cannons, which means that in offensive and defensive battles, we will be the ones who suffer greater losses.

Unless His Majesty the Tsar is willing to dispatch a new army”

"Can't!"

The female Tsar Ekaterina interrupted with a frosty face.

For the core power that controls power, the female Tsar Catherine will never be transferred away from her.

Even if the Duma nobles had no bad intentions when they were transferred and the new army suffered too much loss, it would be different if the Tsarist Russian Empire was still its own.

If the Tsarist Russian Empire was not its own, what's the use of keeping it?

Dmitry was not angry at all for being interrupted, and continued calmly: "The second thing is that we have been in war for too long.

Moreover, unlike the wars of the Han army and previous wars, it is difficult for us to fight and plunder the enemy's wealth to make up for the loss of the battlefield. Therefore, the longer the war with the Han army is, the weaker the empire's national strength is.

If it is delayed until next year, even if the Han army does not fight, we will not be able to provide food for the frontline soldiers."

"Since that's the case, why did you say that time is on our side?"

"Report to His Majesty the Tsar, if we can annihilate 50,000 people in the middle of the Han army, our imperial team can go south to rob, which will naturally make up for the war's deficit and delay it for a longer time."

The female Tsar Ekaterina nodded slowly, and she was finally convinced.
