Chapter 1844: Victory and Defeat Are Common in the Military

As the saying goes, there is gain in loss, and good and bad are mutually beneficial.

This is the same as no effort, no reward.

You can't always think about getting benefits without thinking about the effort.

It's okay to think about pie in the sky in dreams, but don't force it in reality, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

In the end, you lost the generals, and the best reward you got was undoubtedly a few words of comfort from the other party.

Apart from that, don't think about anything else.

You should know that it's good enough for the other party not to mock you, blame you for your defeat, and affect our morale.

And to put it bluntly, if the generals you sent out successfully retreated, but eventually lost the victory of the first battle.

Then you won't get any words of comfort.

Such a result is likely to attract suspicion from the alliance.

In a word, why did the generals you sent out run back after just a few hits?

And they were not even injured, and looked like nothing happened.

Those who know you are going to the front line to kill the enemy, and those who don't know think you are going to the market and ran back when you saw nothing.

"What is your intention? Do you know your crime?"

If nothing unexpected happens, the other forces in the alliance will say this to you.

They will question whether you have done your best for the alliance and fought desperately.

Maybe you have accepted benefits from the World Alliance before, otherwise why are others unwilling to send generals to fight and lead the battle.

But you took the initiative to recommend yourself and asked to fight.

Such behavior is worthy of praise. After all, everyone has reservations and wants others to die while they reap the benefits.

Now they hear that someone has taken the initiative to ask to lead the battle, they are naturally eager for it and applaud and send you off.

If you really fight with your heart, even if you lose, they will at most mock and complain about you, at least they will not do anything to hurt you.

Because war is like this, there are wins and losses, even a victorious general will fail.

This is the same as what the ancients said, an old horse stumbles.

Or, victory and defeat are common in the military, just treat it with a normal mind.

But your generals retreated early without any injuries.

What does this mean?

It means that your generals did not really fight at all.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, unless the strength of the two sides is too different.

Otherwise, how can they be unscathed?

Besides, even if they are truly unscathed, they must be the one with the stronger strength.

It is impossible for someone who is not as skilled as others to do it.

Because you can't resist the opponent and can't beat the opponent, how can you retreat unscathed?

You must know that even if you run away and retreat, you need strength to set off.

If it is a competition between friends, or a master giving a novice some advice.

It is reasonable for you to say that you are not injured.

After all, the other party is not really going to take your life, but just giving you some advice.

But what is the situation now? The alliance forces of both sides are fighting each other.

Both sides are enemies, and they are eager to kill each other. How could they stop?

How could they not use all their strength in such a crucial battle and let the other side return to the other side's camp safely?

You should know that the words behind letting the tiger go back to the mountain are often endless troubles.

If you let the other side go now, when you are not as skilled as them, the other side will definitely not talk to you so easily.

Because when you are on the battlefield, you only need to remember one thing, that is, it is either you die or I die.

It is absolutely impossible to let the opponent's life go because of mercy.

Even if you really can't bear to kill the enemy, you will definitely hurt the other side and make the other side lose its combat effectiveness.

This will not only avoid hidden dangers on your side, but also help the other side, so that the other side will not have a hard time reporting back.

Because under normal circumstances, in such a critical battle as the first battle, even if you don't send the strongest in your own camp.

You will definitely send the bravest and most ruthless people in your own camp.

Because the first battle is the most important for everyone's morale. If you just defeat the opponent, the morale of the soldiers in the camp can be increased by 30%.

If you can seriously injure the opponent's generals, the morale can be increased by at least 50%.

If the generals on your side are protected by divine power and directly kill the opponent's generals.

Then, if nothing unexpected happens, the morale of the soldiers will reach its highest point at this moment.

At that time, everyone will become extremely excited, and those who are naturally timid and like to hide behind and watch others fight.

Will inexplicably feel that they are very awesome at this moment, and will follow the team to charge and fight bravely.

This is the importance of morale, and this is why the person who takes the lead must be ruthless and cannot be soft-hearted.

So you, a person who can't beat the opponent, can actually retreat unscathed. Such a thing happened in such a critical battle. Do you think it will not make people suspicious?

It can only make people think that you know the other party, and this battle is just a formality, deliberately letting the other party win, so as to undermine the morale of my personnel.

There is another possibility, that is, your real strength is at least one level higher than the other party's general.

Only with this kind of strength can you deliberately pretend that you can't beat the opponent, and then retreat and escape.

And the speed of your escape makes it impossible for the other party to catch up, creating the illusion that others are not chasing you and are letting you go.

Anyway, no matter what it is, you will be suspected.

Whether it's because you didn't try your best or you let it slip on purpose.

It's worth a word. Because of your relationship, this battle failed and the scale of victory tipped to the opponent's side.

Now everyone should be able to understand why a temporarily formed alliance cannot defeat an alliance that has been established for a long time.

Even if you are much stronger than the other party, they will not be able to unite because of this series of problems.

If a small problem occurs, there will be a gap between everyone. Over time, this problem will turn into a small problem and eventually become out of control.

Not to mention the final battle, there will be disputes even in the beginning, so you will be beaten later.

It may not even take the enemy to take action, but you yourself will rebel just because of who you send to lead the troops in the battle.

At that time, even if you draw lots or vote, you will select the right person to participate in the first battle.

Presumably that person would also feel unhappy and wonder if someone had tampered with the drawing of lots.
