Isabella has always been relatively cautious towards a country whose details are unclear, but this time since she has had a conflict with Yan Country and suffered losses, she can no longer pretend that nothing happened.

Previously, on the way to the Liga continent, the fleet sent out had a battle with the fleet of the Taqi Kingdom. It was also a failed battle. In the subsequent trial and understanding, Isabella gradually learned that in the Liga continent, the Taqi Kingdom was a truly hegemonic country. In that continent, its status was comparable to that of the Sari Kingdom.

After that incident, the whole country was outraged, and some radical ministers in the Privy Council expressed the need to retaliate against the Taqi Kingdom. However, Isabella remained conservative after considering for a long time. At least before the country's military power ushered in a new round of reforms, it was not worthwhile to engage in a large-scale war with a hegemonic country on another continent. After all, there had been no substantial conflict of interest between the two sides.

In Isabella's view, there is no need to start a war without benefits, especially for the country of Sari today. Just maintaining the status quo and continuing to maintain the booming trade development is enough to keep the country standing.

However, this time the New World plan must be implemented with a radical attitude. This comes from the pressure from the Taqi Kingdom. Since there is such a country in the world that can compete with the Sari Kingdom, the Sari Kingdom must be moved to a higher level, otherwise it will definitely be threatened by them in the future.

The Delta Federation is also not to be underestimated. Although Isabella does not approve of von Palen's non-stop war, she has to admit that they have indeed achieved certain results through this barbaric way of growth. This can be seen from the significant increase in the number of warships heading to Yan Country this time. Obviously, if the Delta Federation continues to develop, it will definitely affect the status of Sari Country.

As for the Yan Kingdom, in fact, Isabella believed that no matter whether it was a lion or a kitten, it must be disintegrated and completely strangled at this time.

In this world, we must not allow another hegemonic country with huge potential to rise.

This country is not a small country. It will never survive by relying on others' wishes. If it is not eliminated at this time, it can be foreseen that in the future of thirty, fifty or even more years, this country will be completely out of control.

Once it is fully formed and becomes a hegemonic country, it will no longer be possible to eliminate it, only weaken its existence.

But now is the most appropriate time to wipe out this country. With the participation of other countries, Sari can gain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.

If the Sari Kingdom can gain the greatest say in the territory of the Yan Kingdom in the future, then the Sari Kingdom will definitely be able to use this new and rich colony to leave the Taqi Kingdom behind!

Thinking of this, Isabella's heart was filled with emotion. She believed that within her limited life, she could lead the Kingdom of Sari to the top of the world and make it a great country that would be immortal!

And she, Isabella, will be remembered forever, becoming a monument that future monarchs must look up to!

"Your Majesty?" Seeing Isabella's fair face suddenly flushed, Clemento couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Isabella, who gradually came back to her senses from the beautiful vision, looked at Clemento.

Clemento bowed respectfully and said:

"I have learned a lesson from this failure and gained valuable experience from it!"

"Therefore, I request to continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the war against Yan Country. I will definitely take back everything we lost in the next war!"

"The souls of the soldiers who lost their lives have not yet rested in peace. I, who am still alive, must avenge them. Only in this way can their souls rest in peace!" He looked at Isabella sincerely and earnestly.

But faced with his request, Isabella hesitated.

Indeed, Clemento was definitely a qualified naval marshal. He played a crucial role in the country's external expansion. In past battles with the enemy, Clemento relied on his bravery and wit to ensure that the fleet he commanded never lost a battle. He was a man with an impressive record and countless achievements.

It was for this reason that the annihilation of the Fiery Sun Fleet did not make Isabella too harsh on him. Warships could continue to be built and soldiers could continue to be recruited, but a marshal with strong command ability required extremely harsh conditions to be trained. Therefore, in the Privy Council this morning, the ministers did not hold Clemento too accountable.

On the surface, it would be a good choice to continue to entrust the expedition plan against Yan Kingdom to Clemento. Although he had failed once, as he said, it was this failure that made him gain bloody experience. With the last failure, he would definitely be more cautious and steady in the next battle.

But Isabella felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his mental state.

From the moment she met him in the Privy Council in the morning to this conversation with him now, Isabella always felt that something was wrong with him.

Perhaps what he lost was not just his strong physique. If he also developed mental illness as a result, that would be very worrying.

After all, a mentally unstable marshal would definitely have disastrous consequences for a fleet.

After careful consideration, Isabella pursed her lips and said:

"Clemento, I'm glad you said that."

"I am very happy that you still have the courage after the massacre. You have not been defeated. You are still the pillar of our country and an extremely responsible naval marshal."

Hearing this, Clemento stood up straight with an extremely solemn expression, but the marshal's uniform that had not been modified yet seemed a little ill-fitting and was now draped loosely on his body.

Isabella looked at him and continued, "But your body has been through too much torture in the past few months, Clemento. I think you need to consider your body."

"Although I have never been on a long voyage, I know that even if I do nothing at sea, it is very stressful on both the body and the mind."

"You have been at sea for several months. Now that you have returned home safely, you should take a good rest for a while."

Hearing this, Clemento frowned slightly, but he did not interrupt Isabella, but continued to listen silently.

"Before your body recovers, I will appoint General Winston to temporarily take over the position of marshal for the expedition to Yan Country. As you know, he has more than 30 years of experience in naval combat and is a seasoned sea warrior."
