    However, believe it or not, but in name, the German army of 20,000 people cannot be decided by him alone. Therefore, it is not convenient for him to go to Bai Zhou alone to discuss how to march and arrange the formation in the next stage.  , just temporarily stationed the troops according to Mengshan's arrangements, and then the most they can do is talk to Bai Zhou about some "nonsense" that has nothing to do with this battle.

    Bai Zhou naturally understood this truth. Even if he discussed military affairs with him now, it was just a discussion. Frank couldn't do it alone, so he just had a simple breakfast with him - white porridge, pickles, and steamed buns.

    It is indeed very simple, but Frank can't say much. After all, this is what Bai Zhou eats. When he heard Bai Zhou say the word "simple", he thought it was polite, but he didn't expect that it was really so simple.  No matter how simple it is.

    Frank, who had never eaten anything bitter since he was a child, naturally had no appetite for the tasteless white porridge, even though it was the white porridge cooked by Caiwei herself, and the aroma of rice overflowed.  Simply, he no longer pretended to be polite, but directly put down the bowl and spoon, indicating to Bai Zhou that he was not hungry, and then said: "This time, our German army has a total of 20,000 people, divided into large and small groups.  Fifty-seven nobles, they jointly elected me, Fein, Ilya, and Luca as joint commanders, responsible for communicating with your Western Qin and formulating combat plans."

    "Oh?" To be honest, Bai Zhou has already been mentally prepared for this result. He has also considered the worst case scenario. What's more, what Frank said now can be said to be the best case scenario for Xi Qin.  : "You mean, only four people, including you and Finn, are qualified to command this army?"

    Originally, Bai Zhou thought that the worst case scenario was that any nobleman who sent troops would be qualified to dictate to the German army. Although Bai Zhou also knew that such an extreme situation would not be allowed by the Earl of Zurich and the Earl of St. Gallen.  It appears, but if this is the case, or even if there are ten or twenty nobles, then in the process of discussing the battle, wouldn't it be a whole vegetable market?  Can't it be said that it goes one step further and is no different from Taiwan's Legislative Council?

    Now it sounds like the Germans only allow four people to have the final decision-making power. Although this number is still a bit too many in Bai Zhou's opinion, he also understands that it is impossible for the Germans to elect only one person as their supreme commander.  , the joint command of four people is already a relatively reliable plan. At the very least, even if the four of them fight, Bai Zhou is confident that he, Mengshan and Mengzhi can still survive.

    "No, speaking of it, it's not that only the four of us can command this army, but that only the four of us are qualified to talk to you directly and discuss military strategies with you. But when it comes to how to use the troops, even if the four of us are completely  We have reached a consensus, and if all the other nobles don¡¯t agree, we can¡¯t go against their wishes.¡±

    Bai Zhou could understand that Frank's last sentence was "not good", not "can't". Does this mean that the power and influence of the four of them has actually reached the point where they can basically ignore other small and medium-sized nobles?  But for certain things, such as face, friendship, etc., you can't go your own way.

    However, Bai Zhou did not reveal this point, but continued to ask: "I know Fein, he should be a good commander, and I believe that he will not object to the reasonable strategic arrangement proposed by our Western Qin."  .¡±

    In fact, it can be considered presumptuous of Bai Zhou to say this. After all, compared to his own relationship with Frank, it is definitely not as good as his relationship with his own people. At the very least, during the last battle of Didikon, Finn was  He made great efforts to help Xi Qin, and even helped Frank himself. It can be seen that either the two of them had a close relationship, or that Finn had a strategic vision and knew that at that time, he could only help Xi Qin.  , Only by helping Frank can we help Germania.  But in the last conversation with Fein, Bai Zhou discovered that this Fein was actually a very cautious guy, and he didn't show much wisdom.  It can be inferred that, first of all, this Finn is a well-versed guy, otherwise, no matter how good his relationship with Frank is, he would not risk leaving the city. Secondly, his relationship with Frank should be unusual.

    However, although it is presumptuous to put it so bluntly, soldiers are important matters of the country and the way to survive and die.  Bai Zhou must determine the character of the other three German commanders. Bai Zhou does not want anyone to back down.  There is no best. If there is, Bai Zhou doesn't mind using some special methods to let them walk here and go back lying down.

    Frank understood what Bai Zhou meant and replied: "My swordsmanship and riding skills are from Professor Fein. After all, he is still my teacher. Don't worry, he will not make any stupid decisions."

    "Luca is the son of the Earl of St. Gallen, and he directly represents the power of the Earl of St. Gallen. So, although the Earl of St. GallenHe can't directly command the army due to personal reasons, but with him controlling the situation behind the scenes, he won't make any big mistakes in Lucca.  " Bai Zhou continued.

    Originally, Bai Zhou hoped that the Count of St. Gallen and the Count of Zurich could take the lead. In this way, as long as he and the two of them unified their opinions, the influence of these two counts among the Germans in Switzerland would definitely be greater than anyone else.  Can better control this force.  But the problem is that both of them declined due to their old age and poor health.

    These words can only be deceived by children. With the Western Qin people supporting them in front, there is no need for the two of them to go into battle in person. Besides, even if two of them are allowed to go into battle, they will definitely be the one who charges behind and retreats in front.

    As for what the two of them were thinking, Bai Zhou didn't know. At best, they were old, and their physical strength was definitely not as good as that of young people. During the battle, they must have worked day and night, which was very demanding on their bodies.  Not small, they are afraid of delaying the big event; thinking about the worst, these two old foxes are afraid that the Western Qin Dynasty will be defeated in the end. If the two of them take action in person, the Germans will completely offend the Burgundians, even if it is not a life-and-death battle.  situation, but then Burgundy had a legitimate excuse to continue sending troops to eastern Switzerland, but if the two of them did not come forward in person, there would still be some room for easing the issue between them and Burgundy.

    "Luka has been my playmate since childhood. Our relationship has been good over the years. I can guarantee that he is a smart guy." Frank smiled. He had never seen such a cautious side of Bai Zhou before. After all,  In the previous cooperation, the biggest feeling that Bai Zhou gave him was madness and calmness in the madness.

    "Then, Ilya, his identity seems to overlap with yours. In my original idea, you Germans should only use three people to fully command this army. You represent your father, and Luca represents  His father, and there is another person, Finn, who represents the other nobles." Bai Zhou didn't know what Earl Zurich was thinking, whether he was worried or scrupulous about splitting the army between two people.

    "Ilya is my cousin. As for why my father arranged this, I'm not very sure. Anyway, I feel there is no problem."

    "Well, since you have said so, I will no longer struggle with this issue. I hope we can continue to cooperate smoothly this time." Bai Zhou picked up the half-cold white porridge in front of him and took a sip.

    Although China emphasizes that eating without talking and sleeping without speaking, it is obvious that China still has a habit of discussing everything at the dinner table, although the meal with Frank this time was a little simpler.

    "My Lord Duke, do you think we are confident this time? After all, although we are the defenders this time and have some advantageous terrain, the combined strength of our two sides is only half of the Burgundians." Frank also wanted to pick it up.  Porridge bowl, he said that the cooperation was smooth, but it seemed that the current situation left him with little appetite and mood.

    The Western Qin Army, plus the more than 5,000 peasant soldiers newly recruited by Weifu this time, has just reached the scale of 15,000 people. The Germans recruited 20,000 troops, adding up to only 35,000 people, of which nearly  Ten thousand people are complete novices, and another ten thousand people are rookie soldiers who have only been on the battlefield and have never seen any blood. Thinking about their combat effectiveness is worrying.

    Bai Zhou pondered for a while, and originally wanted to answer honestly, "Not sure." In fact, Bai Zhou had already thought about how the Western Qin people would retreat if Basel could not be defended, and where to deploy the second line.  Defensive line issues.  But some time ago, I talked to the Germans as if I had a well-thought-out plan. Telling the truth to Frank now would not have any positive effect. Even if he was tight-lipped and didn't tell others, people with good intentions would always learn from some clues or facial expressions.  It could be seen from the expression that Frank, a German who had a good relationship with Bai Zhou, received information from Western Qin that was not very beneficial to the coalition forces.

    Just when Bai Zhou was unsure, Meng Ge walked in and asked Bai Zhou: "Sir, Mr. Wei has entered the city, and there is Wolfgang. Do you want to go over now?"

    "Wolfgang? Barbarossa's younger son?" Hearing the name, Frank showed a visibly surprised expression, but since Mongo didn't use honorifics or anything like that, Frank couldn't be sure if it was him.

    "Yes, but he does not represent Barbarossa when he comes this time, and I hope you will not talk about it to outsiders for the time being." Bai Zhou said.  He heard that Frank had misunderstood something and thought that Wolfgang's appearance represented Barbarossa and the Holy Roman Empire, so he had that expression.

    "He didn't come alone, did he? Did he bring his mercenary group?" Frank asked in a curious tone.

    "I don't know if he has a mercenary group with him, but he has five thousand people with him. They should be his private soldiers." Bai Zhouzhao? said.  As for the mercenary group, Bai Zhou really didn't know about it. Although Wolfgang came as a mercenary on this trip, Bai Zhou certainly didn't know that the private soldiers he brought were what kind of mercenary group they were.
