“As everyone knows.”

Ryan pressed the remote control and opened the large guide display on the wall.

A map of all Semlia appeared before everyone's eyes. The map was covered with blue and red marks, representing the coalition forces and the troops of Ereponia respectively.

“The total number of troops in the Ereponian Empire today is about 1.2 million.”

"Although there will be some increase when war begins on September 1 with sporadic recruitment in various places, the amount should not be too large, at most no more than 1.25 million people."

"After the previous exchange of intelligence, we learned the total number of troops that countries could mobilize."

Ryan glanced at the head of the audience, "The maximum number of people that the Republic of Kalwad can recruit is 880,000, the Duchy of Remifilia Volunteers 80,000, and the Kingdom of Liber 120,000."

"The total number of troops taken away by the four famous corpses from various territorial states is 150,000."

"Leman and Oled Autonomous Prefecture can recruit 20,000 volunteers, and the resistance forces of Closebell and Northampulia combined will total 10,000."

"The Yartrian Code can dispatch 30,000 monk soldiers, and with the investment of various countries to hire hunting groups of large and small, it should be able to raise about 40,000 troops."

Emma and Marcias took the lead in figuring out the total.

“1.33 million?”

"That's right."

Ryan nodded, "This is the total force that Qianzhiyangyan can gather in combat."

Miltilu added, "Although there are some advantages in numbers, considering the unfamiliar cooperation between the United Army and the gap in weapons and arms, the overall combat effectiveness is still the Imperial Army."

Although the tanks and empires of the Republic are different in style, the two sides should be considered equal and equal in their overall situation.

But as Ereponia will devote all taxes from new lands such as Klosbel and Jule to war preparations in the past two years, the empire's development in airship technology has gradually surpassed Kalwade.

There is a certain gap in the specifications of the air fortresses between the two sides. The Kagandu aerial fortress reaches 250 apart, while the Batangetos level of the Republic is only 200 apart.

Although the Republic still has the advantage in small gunboat technology, it has a stronger support from the mothership, and this gap can be easily smoothed out.

Coupled with the black technology developed during the Imperial Civil War - mecha warriors, and the latest movable train cannon designed specifically for this war, it would be quite difficult for the Republic to block the three-dimensional offensive of the Empire with its old weapons, let alone other small countries and autonomous prefectures.

"Considering the coordinated command of such large-scale operations, as well as past achievements and experience, the heads of state unanimously recognized..."

Ryan reached out to Cassius on the side, "Cassius Bright, who was known as the rare strategist, served as the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Thousand Sun Flame."

“Eh?!”

Estil couldn't help but exclaim, "Dad?! No way!"

Ling smiled wickedly and said, "Estile, what are you surprised?"

"This super-large-scale joint combat between countries is only qualified if Cassius, who had experience in integrating the military forces of various countries in the D∴G sect, and who had defeated the Imperial Army in the Hundred Days Campaign?"

Ling joined Bright's house because of Estil and Joshua. She was not very close to Cassius, and she has always been very straightforward to call her name.

Joshua sighed softly, "Is this true? Father, you should know what this battle will bring? Have you been enlightened?"

"yes."

At this time, Cassius had no funny expression he usually used to joke. He said with a serious expression, "This is the largest war in the history of Semlia."

"Not only will a large number of soldiers die in battle for this, but civilians from various countries will inevitably be threatened to certain extent, and the chances of death and injury are high."

"Hundreds of thousands... No, if the situation is serious, maybe the mainland will have hundreds or even tens of millions of victims because of this battlefield."

Princess Colotia said sadly, "We also know that responding to such a large-scale war is the worst plan."

"But we cannot sit idly by and watch the republic be annexed by the empire, allowing the curse of Erebonia to spread to the republic and even to engulf the entire continent."

Cassius stood up firmly and said, "It is precisely because of this that I took over this position. I will do all my strength to prevent the world from being cursed."

Cedric also started fighting, and he said with a bitter smile on his face, "Everyone, although it sounds unbelievable that the royal family leads the support of the resistance forces against their own country."

"But in order to protect the world we live in, the hometown and relatives and friends we cherish, I must carry this heavy burden on my father who cannot attend!"

Ryan looked at the heavy faces of everyone present, smiled relaxedly and said, "Of course, we will not put all our chips on the World War on the table."

"The Thousand Yang Yan battles are not expected to completely defeat the empire's Earth Dragon. Its fundamental purpose is to delay the process of the world being swallowed up."

"If you want to completely stop this crazy world war, you will eventually have to start from the source. This is the third secret path different from the battle on the table."

Ryan turned to look at Rein, Royd, Thomas, Estil and others in the audience.

"Since the situation occurred in Hereponia, foreign experts such as the Republic and Remifilia were inconvenient to intervene, everyone present was all the available personnel for our beheading operations."

"The guerrillas who can wander around the continent, the Tolz-related personnel and spy support section as citizens of the Empire, and the secret troops of the Seven Star Church, which secretly provides us with help."

"I hope you can form a joint team to contribute to the breakthrough into the imperial capital Balfrem Palace to defeat the Iron-blooded Prime Minister."

"Of course, whether you are willing to participate in this decapitation operation that is doomed to be deeply crises will be up to you."

"But time is already very tight. I hope you can determine whether to participate within today, so that we can make arrangements for the follow-up plan."

The silence was restored in the banquet hall, and the forces below the audience exchanged glances.

Estil stood up first with the support of Sarah, Yanelas, Agath and others.

"Although in form, we still need to discuss with the association headquarters of Lehman, I personally agree with Ryan's proposal."

"It is different from the thorny road of who wins and who loses the two major battles, but the third road of choosing to avoid the frontal battlefield."

Royd also stood up and said firmly, "The Spy Support Section and the collaborators also agreed to participate in the beheading battle. We will do our best to provide all the support we can."

Li En and other members of the new and old Class 7 and the helpers finally combined their opinions, and Li En stood up and spoke.
