Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce nodded in agreement: "Alright, I thought I could put up a fight... There's no way to fight this. It's like a newborn baby trying to take on a martial arts champion. How can you fight this? There's no way to fight this!"

After Xiao Ce expressed his thoughts, he looked at the others and then asked them a question.

Everyone else expressed no opinion.

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, we just received news from Shahar in the Slavic country that they have finished performing the play they were supposed to sing... You just need to defeat them once and for all."

Then, Xiao Ce said to Wei Wuji, "When you're fighting, don't hold back... You don't need to hold back, just beat him up!"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Wei Wuji nodded repeatedly: "Your Highness, I understand... Will you come along...?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's natural... Han Da and Yan Jia, you don't need to be idle either. Go and prepare some troops to go to sea with me... How is our naval fleet ready now?"

Han Da said, "Our navy now has 300,000 men. While it's called a navy, it's actually amphibious! We have no difficulties... we can convert it at will! And if you say that 300,000 men aren't enough, we can immediately and seamlessly reorganize it..."

Xiao Ce was still somewhat surprised: "Oh? How many people can you expand to at most, and how many can I take with me?"

After Xiao Ce asked this question, he couldn't contain his joy!

The reason is simple: his future tactics require this kind of model.

After all, launching an attack across the ocean couldn't be done with just the navy accompanying the army; that would greatly reduce efficiency...

However, at this moment, the amphibious training model they brought has indeed greatly reduced the human resource costs for him.

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's question, Han Da and Yan Jia pondered for a moment before giving Xiao Ce their answer.

"Your Highness, if you wish, we can provide you with an elite force of 600,000 men at any time! They can be the navy or the army, and taking them away will absolutely not affect the military defense of the Xiao Kingdom."

Before Xiao Ce could even ask, Tian Jinxian had already guessed what Xiao Ce was thinking.

“Your Highness, actually, Generals Han Da and Yan Jia have always disagreed on this point. In fact, the Northern Desert Prince’s Mansion, as Your Highness’s base, and in addition to its extremely important geographical location for the entire Xiao Kingdom, has always been subject to extremely high military expenditures and a very large reserve of soldiers.”

"Although your land reclamation policy came first over the years, the various military reforms implemented by the two generals have also delayed the land reclamation policy. I have also talked with them several times, wanting to reduce military spending, but the two generals said that the country is still in turmoil, and military equipment must not be reduced, but needs to be increased."

"They said the entire military is the pillar and backbone of the nation. Therefore, the military reserves have always been at full capacity... Not to mention the Xiao Kingdom, the entire Northern Desert Royal Palace already has a full 800,000 troops. So, even if 600,000 troops were withdrawn, 200,000 troops would still be enough to protect the Northern Desert Royal Palace..."

"I thought they were overthinking things... but now it seems I was short-sighted! It's all thanks to the insistence of the two generals... if they had listened to my shortsighted view, Your Highness, if you wanted an army, you would probably have to recruit one on the spot. There wouldn't be any army that could be summoned at a moment's notice!"

Hearing this from Tian Jinxian.

Xiao Ce understood Tian Jinxian's thoughts.

Even though the Northern Desert Royal Palace was developing very well, the huge military expenditure was enough to make it impossible for him to make ends meet.

However, it's also clear how much pressure Han Da and Yan Jia were under.

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Han Da and Yan Jia, "You two are quite bold. How did you know I would definitely need these troops? I don't recall giving you that order."

Han Da and Yan Jia smiled and said, "Your Highness, we have always kept your teachings in mind. That is, no matter what happens, you need to use your brain! We have been analyzing it all along."

"You mentioned the concept of a global village to us before! Xiao Kingdom is not yet fully settled. Although you have gone to sea, you will definitely need our help... We thought we should sit back and prepare. Before the global village concept is realized, you will definitely need our troops."

"Moreover, we've been watching closely. Our military spending has consistently been controlled at around 70-80% of the Northern Desert King's total revenue, ensuring Tian Jinxian still has money coming in... Furthermore, our Xiao Kingdom isn't unified yet, and we need an army as a trump card... to turn the tide..."

After listening to the two people's conversation, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded.

These two people truly deserve to have followed him from the very beginning. Although they haven't been with Xiao Ce for very long, they are definitely the ones who have been with him the longest.

"Alright! Since we've sent Wei Wuji this time... then bring out all the hidden fleets and stuff. Let's get ready, get ready!"

Wei Wuji listened, his face full of envy.

He clearly won this case, but it seems like he lost no matter how you look at it.

Attacking a Slavic country that was easy to conquer, however, meant losing the opportunity to go out to sea.

Wei Wuji stepped forward with an extremely grim expression: "Your Highness...I..."

Looking at Wei Wuji's expression, Xiao Ce immediately guessed his concerns and worries.

"Wei Wuji, you should go and practice on the Slavs first... I still have a great use for your 'heavenly soldiers'... When I go to sea, I will definitely need you!"

Xiao Ce's words instantly dispelled the gloom on Wei Wuji's forehead.

"Your Highness, I understand. I will definitely work hard."

Seeing Wei Wuji's happy expression, Xiao Ce finally noticed the childlike innocence on his face...

Then it dawned on me that Wei Wuji was not even twenty yet.

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Yun Qing. Urgen: "Yun Qing, what do you say? I'll take your capable lieutenant with me, are you willing?"

Yunqing Urgen nodded his head repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Willing...of course I'm willing...If you want it, you can take our entire Turkic army with you..."
