Chapter 2195: Plans and Promise (3)
Long Ao Ming nodded.
Sometimes, result was the most important thing on the battlefield and not the process. A capable general, if he had made a fatal mistake, could be removed from his position immediately.
No matter how capable he is, there would be many people who would magnify his mistake.
It was also because of this that those who were at the high position had to tread even more carefully. Because if they were to make a mistake, there would be many people who wanted to pounce forward and dragged them down.
Power is tempting.
Many people wanted to obtain power and for that, they could do many things that might have crossed the bottom lines of many other people.
What happened to the Shangguan Family could be said to be extremely ironic, full of blood and tears. From family drama to their subordinate problems, the Shangguan Family suffered a lot in this period of time.
Moreover, there were not many descendants of the Shangguan Family left.
"I understand," Long Ao Ming replied.
Prime Minister Xian nodded and then proceeded to the map in front of him. "Now, this will be your assignment for the next year..."
...
Long Ao Ming stretched his hand once he got out of the side halls. Prime Minister Xian was a very good prime minister with sharp and broad ideas.
If Long Ao Ming had to say, Prime Minister Xian was one of the few people whom he genuinely respected. But at the same time, he also understood that Prime Minister Xian was someone who was specifically trained for war era.
His vision and methods, were all towards war and so on.
"Great General Long."
It was estimated that many lives would be lost from Fei Yang Kingdom and there would be many other complicated matters that arise.
The best way was for Long Ao Ming to thoroughly destroy the opposing voice on the East without asking for help from other generals who would be busy in other areas.
"How much time do I have?" Long Ao Ming asked.
"One year," Prime Minister Lan replied. "Two years at most."
Any more than that, the resources in Fei Yang Kingdom would be stretched thin and it would be hard for them to sustain the war for a longer period of time. And if they continued to suffer losses like what happened at the early war against Shi Long Kingdom...
Many officials might start to refuse starting a big war again.
Because the economic situation in Fei Yang Kingdom would not be able to support it.
"One year...." Long Ao Ming murmured.
He had seen the map and the overall situation of the place from Prime Minister Xian not long ago. In his opinion, even if these people were to make trouble, they couldn't truly make trouble against him.
But if he had to finish it all in such a short period of time...
It wouldn't be that easy.
Long Ao Ming took a deep breath.
A general had a lot of responsibility on their shoulder and Long Ao Ming felt it very clearly at this moment. Because whatever decision he made, it would affect countless lives who were on the frontline and also the people under him.
"I understand, I'll do my best, Prime Minister Lan," Long Ao Ming replied slowly. "Thank you very much, Great General Long," Prime Minister Lan replied and then cupped his fist respectfully. "I couldn't help much, but I wish the Heaven be with you, Great General
Long."
Long Ao Ming smiled. "Thank you for your kind words, Prime Minister Lan."
