The simplest and the most basic form of manipulation is to give.
What I'm I saying? ,you give a party an object or a feeling in respect to their needs and they either open up to you or grow attached to you.
It may be love,money or even help.
I'ved divided the armies in two groups,the attackers and the backup
My aim is to lower the number of my army as close as possible,the lowered value increases the sense of superiority on the opponent which then leads them to drop their guard whereas my backup infiltrates and take them down.
With the data given on my army,I was able to run a mental simulation in nearly every possible outcome of the wage.
Of course some death will be inevitable,but I'll like to reduce that as much as possible.
As of past data,the enemies had enough soldiers than our force,likely even tripled,but I've recruited new soldiers from this nation
Although not experience,they serve as the decoy to distract the enemies.
With the ammunitions and nuclear weapons we surely have the advantage.
But I'll also like to Guage the opponents intelligence,I can't tell that now but sooner or later I will be able to do that.
In short my strategy is to give the opponent the sense of superiority
