NovelEnglishChapter 300 They chatted while playing golf. But clearly, Reed and Ryan were far more interested in the topic of their conversation than the gitself. At first, they discussed international affairs. Then the topic gradually shifted until Reed and Ryan began simulating a battlefield strategy on the spot. They were fully engaged in the scenario, while Maggie and Johnny stood by, listening intently. Franklin and Julia did the same.

After a moment, Maggie spoke up. "With enemies on all fronts, advancing alone would be unwise. Holding position for now might be the best move." Julia paused at his words. She had to admit-it was a sound judgment.
---- If Maggie hadnt said it, she honestly wouldn't have thought of it herself- Just as that crossed her mind, she saw Ryan smiling and nodding in approval at Maggie's suggestion. Johnny responded swiftly as well. He moved two of the cups they were using to simulate the battlefield and said, "I'd go for a flanking maneuver from both sides." As soon as he said that, Ryan, Reed, and Jordan all chuckled, clearly satisfied with his strategy. Then, their attention shifted to Franklin and Julia.
With Maggie and Johnny having spoken, it was naturally their turn Julia stared at the layout in front of her, momentarily at a loss for what to say. She glanced at Franklin. Franklin said, "We don't have enough troops to defend the city, but if we intercept from the northwest route, we might just turn the tide." Reed clapped his hands and laughed. "Brilliant! What else?" ---- Julia remained silent for a second. After carefully analyzing the setup, an idea gradually formed in her mind.
She smiled and said, "If we redirect our southeastern troops to attack from the northwest, we could take the city in one decisive strike." But with that move, she directly contradicted Maggie's earlier strategy of holding ground. On the surface, her plan seemed logical. However- Maggie calmly responded, "The troops you plan to deploy are stationed at a strategically contested zone.

Julia froze, not yet replying when Johnny let out a small chuckle and said, "Miss Brown, didn't you notice? The troops you're reallocating are stationed in the most hotly contested region." No one had explicitly mentioned the critical zone before, but given the layout, it was assumed that everyone could see it. But Julia had, in fact, missed it entirely. She didn't know much about military strategy, but she understood the significance of a critical stronghold.
