"As I said just now, Grant's proposal has a high chance of success, but the consequences of failure are unbearable for the Alliance. The so-called city building is a plan that would rather be slower but ensure 100% success."

Rutgers is also very patient.

"To be specific, we will build two cities at the same time in Macon County and northern Bay County, station 400,000 to 500,000 coalition troops respectively, and at the same time reserve enough food and supplies."

"The coalition does not seek to take the initiative to attack Chang'an City, but it wants to block Chang'an's subsequent expansion."

"Besieging a city and defending it are completely asymmetrical in difficulty."

"If a million coalition troops attack the city of Chang'an, there is still a possibility of failure. On the other hand, it is equally difficult for Chang'an to conquer a city where four to five million coalition troops are stationed."

"Not to mention——"

"The two cities are not only at odds with each other, providing each other with assistance, but they can also receive support from the rear."

"How can Chang'an be breached?"

"If we cannot capture these two cities, the development of Chang'an will be forever locked in the southern part of Haiwan County, which is less than 20,000 square kilometers."

"Even if we can find ways to recruit refugees in the future, what land will be used to resettle them?"

"Do you want to upgrade the territory?"

"In contrast, during the confrontation between the two sides, the entire alliance's territory has continued to upgrade and develop. There are more and more people in the territory, and the war potential that can be tapped is also growing."

There are 500,000 village-level territories in the entire alliance, and each territory has a new soldier, which is an army of 500,000 people.

"The further we delay, the more invincible the alliance becomes."

"How can you lose?"

The more he talked about it, the more eloquent he became.

"Don't there be warships in Chang'an? If we take the water route, can't we attack the coastal Khana County and escape the encirclement we set up?" Gale is not easy to fool.

"What's so difficult about this?"

Rogers was more confident, "Even if Kana County is captured by Chang'an, with such a nail in the north of Bay County in the middle, how can Chang'an manage Kana County?"

In ancient wars, why did we have to conquer one city after another?

It is because the city acts as a hub.

As long as the alliance establishes a city in the northern part of Haiwan County and garrisones a large army, it can effectively contain Chang'an, threaten Chang'an's periphery at any time, and prevent its external expansion.

"Besides, let's talk."

"There is only one male city in Chang'an. Even if Chang'an captures Kana County, how long will it take to build a new city? The coalition forces can harass it at any time and destroy its city-building plan."

"That's true."

Gale was finally persuaded by Rogers, "I will submit your plan to the alliance lords for collective discussion. However, you'd better not have too high expectations."

"I know."

As soon as he mentioned this, Rogers' mood became depressed.

In the so-called collective decision-making, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to reach a consensus. The Aztec Alliance has more than 600,000 lords, and it is even more difficult to reach a consensus.

The final decisions made are often influenced by emotions.

After the defeat of the coalition forces, the Aztec lords' revenge mood was unprecedentedly high, so they tended to agree to Grant's crazy plan of "a million troops".

In a sense.

The plan proposed by Grant itself deliberately catered to this sentiment.

In comparison.

Although the "city building plan" proposed by Rutgers is more stable, it is obviously not in line with the current mood.

It will be difficult to get it passed at the league level.
