"Did the prince really devise this?"
In a room resembling a university lecture hall, numerous high-ranking officials held clipped papers in their hands.
The front page of these papers read "Fall Brennendes Haus" or Operation Burning House.
The name "Felix von Hohenzollern" was prominently displayed on the cover, labeled as the author.
Hans von Zettour presented the document to the council. Known for his exceptional intellect, Hans had almost perfectly inscribed the prince's words, with a few minor errors and some of his own opinions added.
"Yes, this is a plan devised by the prince to bring down the Duchal Family of Dacia," Hans confirmed.
"I merely inscribed it. All credit goes to our prince, though I have included some of my own thoughts."
The Generalfeldmarschall (Field Marshal) voiced his opinion on the strategy.
"A war based on misinformation to undermine the enemy... It's a viable strategy to position ourselves as saviors of the Dacian citizens. It minimizes bloodshed on our part and consolidates public opinion against the Dacian leadership."
"It involves a sophisticated use of deception, which is rare from someone so young. Children are typically innocent, but exceptional children like our prince are geniuses in their own right. Look at our Argent; these children will be the future of our nation."
Everyone in the room agreed with the Generalfeldmarschall. Exceptional children, though rare, must bear the weight of their gifts.
Another official noted the strategy's strengths but also its areas for improvement.
"Though this strategy is top-class, there are still parts where it is lacking. For instance, the base strategies for our field agents who will spread misinformation. We need a more detailed set of steps to execute this strategy effectively."
Zettour in response to the man added,
"The prince has given us a general strategy to use as a foundation. It is our responsibility to fill in the gaps and refine it into a more practical and effective plan."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Zettour's words. The Generalfeldmarschall, approving of the plan, called for a vote.
"All in favor of adopting His Highness's strategy against Dacia?"
The officials nodded their approval.
"Then we will adopt His Highness's strategy against Dacia, refining it for operational use in the field."
"Given the complexity and timeline, the Dacian Grand Duchy is likely to invade us within two to three months. We must implement this strategy as soon as possible. Prepare yourselves people, we will have to do a lot of late nights this days."
"Additionally, we should prepare contingencies in case other nations join the conflict."
"Next on our agenda is Major General Zettour's proposal to create a Division Schnelle Kräfte (Rapid Forces Division). This is not viable at the moment since our previous Rapid Forces failed to meet expectations. The Grand Army was supposed to be our Rapid Forces, yet it failed despite our technological superiority."
The Great German Empire leads in technological innovation. As a relatively new empire, its war strategies are still experimental and untested. This is why the Empire is committed to trying and refining different approaches to warfare.
The Grand Army, still inexperienced in warfare, especially on two fronts, failed to keep up with rapid orders from above.
Zettour, confident in his proposal, suggested it as another experiment.
