Power and Empire Chapter 1670: In the name of Falcon (8)
Gaul Empire Ministry of Military Affairs
, Earl Remchart, who was wearing an imperial military uniform, dignifiedly pushed open the two four-meter-high red embossed military gates in front of him. The two imperial guards standing at the door immediately grasped the long handles in their hands. Axe, the body wearing bright armor will collapse straight
Remshat took off his military cap and placed it on a desk opposite the Secretary of Military Affairs
As a high-level affairs officer with special prosecutorial powers, he is the only person in the Ministry of Military Affairs who can be qualified to work in the same office with the Secretary of Military Affairs,
The Minister of Military Affairs holds the power to mobilize the army. Behind the high-ranking officers is the power to supervise the military affairs of the Emperor.
The two people live in the same room, which can maximize the connection between the military affairs and the emperor’s orders. This very distinctive system in Congo and Fei has lasted for 67 years and has experienced the era of three emperors. It is also a guarantee to thoroughly implement the emperor’s intentions
"What's the matter? Remchart, it's been a long time since I saw you so gaffe!" It seemed a little surprised. The gray-haired Imperial Secretary of Military Affairs, Duke Rubin Sack, raised his head from across the desk, squinted, and Rao Looking at the young man opposite with interest,
An empty room with plenty of light. The sunlight shines through the high windows and reflects the bright golden lines on the snow-white walls. There are not too many gorgeous decorations in the whole room. There are several file cabinets standing side by side, and a whole body that is wiped every day. The armor, the surface of the armor made of fine iron, is polished with quicksand paper to see the shadows of people. The golden tassels hang down from the shoulder guard. The chest is the wheel pattern of the twelve-petal elm leaf representing the symbol of the Wang family. The red cloak is from Spread the shoulders all the way to the ground,
The entire armor is decorated in a tight array, revealing a majestic luxury,
This is the armor of the marshal representing the highest honour of the military personally awarded by the former emperor when Duke Rubinsack, the Minister of Military Affairs, was 40 years old. That year, Duke Rubinsack was promoted to the Imperial Marshal by the former emperor because he Just led an army of 200,000 Congolese and Fei, in one fell swoop to quell the death place of the Congo Fei empire in the south, the An Turks,
The territory of the empire. Because of this campaign, extending from Central Europe to the current strait, the actual control of the entire peninsula was truly realized. That time was a turning point for the Congolese and African empire’s external expansion. The empire no longer needed tension and peninsulas. The internal defense, but the full expansion outward,
The sun is shining outside the window. Even as the office of the Secretary of Military Affairs, this place shows more the skill of the soldiers than the luxury of the empire’s important ministers.
"It's nothing, just got angry about something!" Remshat sneered. In front of the surrounding imperial military leaders, he didn't dare to be arrogant. He quickly apologized and said, "I just received the news. The Duke of Universal, who was sent to the Falcon Empire, was assassinated by an unknown person in the Falcon Empire!"
"Assassination?"
Duke Rubinsack raised his eyebrows, and the pen in his hand was still brushing and proficiently checking the documents piled up on the desktop. For him, an old man who has been fighting for the empire all his life, such a thing It is quite commonplace. He is the Minister of Military Affairs. He is more concerned about the situation in the military. The high-level affairs officer is responsible for this type of intelligence. He was not surprised when he heard such news. It is also expected to get rid of it. Do you need to be so nervous?
"If you really kill it, it will be a headless case at best." Remchat smiled bitterly, as if he knew what the old empire was thinking, and said, "The problem is that these idiots have missed! I was caught alive!
"I was caught!" Rubin Sack stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head for the first time, his old and wise eyes revealed the vicissitudes of the years,
Since he resigned as the Imperial Marshal at the age of 65 and entered the Ministry of Military Affairs as the Minister of Military Affairs, his weapon has changed from a murderous sword to a pen. Sometimes even he himself regrets it. If he knew this, he shouldn’t have promised. The former emperor who passed away had to express his devotion to the new emperor, otherwise, he can now enjoy his old age in a spacious mansion, without having to labor for the empire’s various complicated military services,
"The empire should be full of vitality and enterprising spirit. It is really outrageous to be in such a position at his own age!" At the beginning of this year, he asked Emperor Gangfei to resign but was rejected by the Emperor. The army also needs an old and respectful person like Your Excellency. If your Excellency must resign, please help me for the last year!"
is worthy of being an old man. He immediately knew why Remchat was so gaffe. At the beginning, Remchat put forward a set of suggestions to weaken the general principality, which was appreciated by His Majesty. In the past few years, This senior official is also fully responsible for the division and annexation of the Duchy of Universal. His results are very remarkable. This time the Duke of Universal is forcibly ordered to go to the Falcon Empire to make amends. Remchart should try to try the bottom line of Universal.
Want to know how much weight this duke has in the hearts of the general public?
The result is exactly as expected. After several years of total suppression, negative publicity, and financial difficulties, the Duke of Universal Set is like a small insect entangled in a spider web, completely unable to use his hands and feet. The current Universal Man himself, I look down on this ineffective general duke,
The news from the spies from various parties in the Pu Tau Principality. After several years of training, Pu Tau people's resistance to the empire has weakened a lot. Regarding their lord, the empire was forced to go to the Falcon Empire. , Almost no ordinary people stand up and say a word,
The entire Duchy of Universal seems to have collectively suffered from amnesia, and they have forgotten the existence of this duke who has been desperate to die. This is a manifestation of the loss of the heart of the Duchy of Universal.
The time to annex the Principality of Universal has arrived. The empire has spent hundreds of years and has not solved the problem, but this time it has been solved by Remchat for six years, which is enough for this young man to climb. High-ranking high-ranking officials climbed up to a more important position as important ministers of the empire. Judging from the practice of Gangfei, the high-ranking officials who are the confidants of the emperor are often candidates for important ministers outside the empire.
It is already circulating outside that the empire annexed Putao and established puppets, and then an imperial governor who was in charge of the Putao Principality area was to be set up, ready to use the relationship between Putao and Strand Sea City to comprehensively reorganize The imperial navy, a general governor who can gather regional governors, navy, and army, will undoubtedly become a hot and powerful position in the empire. Although His Majesty has not stated clearly, in fact, everyone understands that this position is undoubtedly for Remsha. Specially prepared by this new star in the imperial military
Unfortunately, it was at such a critical moment that such an assassination took place. Duke Rubinsack shook his head secretly, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to form a tight seal and lock net, and every news that might attract attention Erase it all. After years of painstaking arrangement, it may be possible that all of it will be lost because of an accident. What a reconciliation! This is not only a unilateral issue of the Falcon Empire, but how untimely the assassination broke out.
Because of this assassination, the forgotten Duke of Universal will inevitably rush to the cusp of the storm. Coupled with the high-profile publicity of the Falcon Empire, the Duke of Universal will soon become the focus of all classes of the empire. , If you are in the position of Remchat, you will probably jump!
" If it is really an accident, forget it. If you are afraid, then you are afraid..... Unlike other people’s innocent views, the Gangfei war ghost Rubin Sack, who was famous for his strange tactics thirty years ago, What came to mind was another absurd possibility, but soon he laughed at himself from the corner of his mouth, "This, it shouldn't be!" "
"My Minister, Northern Emergency!" The voice of the adjutant came from outside the door
"Come in! The door is not locked." Rubinsack unexpectedly raised his head and shouted to the door. Under normal circumstances, the adjutant would not yell like this, but came in through the guards to ask for instructions.
the adjutant opened the door and walked in, eagerly walked to Rubin Sack, stood at attention and paid a military salute before submitting an emergency report in his hand, saying, "Last night, the outpost responsible for following reports , The Falcon Army suddenly stopped retreating, and the entire army was stationed in the Mopu Plateau in the north. Although there was no intention to attack, the Falcon Army’s camp was brightly lit all night. Let the frontline General Roya Kodi I feel very disturbed. According to the report of General Rojakody, we currently have only 80,000 troops on the northern border, while the Falcons are 120,000. We are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of number and combat strength, and the opposing cavalry has reached five. The crowd, plus the place where the opponent stopped, is also the uplifted northern Mopu Plateau. From the perspective of the terrain, once a war begins, our army will be in no danger to defend! In view of the unknown situation of the Falcon Army, General Luo Yadiko requested that for the time being Stop steadily advancing the strategy of taking over the area and switch to stationing on the spot!"
"North Mopu Plateau?"
Rubinsack took a look at the report with a serious face. He knew where he was. When he was young, he had spent two years in the Mopu Plateau in the north. As an ordinary cavalry squadron leader, he hesitated. Duke Rubinsack picked up his pen, wrote a line on the report, and exchanged it to the adjutant and said, "Grant Royatico's request! But he must stabilize the area that has been recovered and build a defensive line to deal with possible situations!"
" means "the adjutant took it, turned and left
"My Minister, the strategy of steadily moving forward to take over the region was agreed by the Emperor. Will we change this way? Will it be..." The Remchart on the opposite side was a little worried, and it was OK according to his position. Asked Rubinsack to continue to implement the previous strategy, but for this person who is the same as Dinghai Shenzhen for the entire Congolese and African military circles, he, a high-ranking official, naturally turned supervision into a suggestion
"The situation is different, the handling is different!" Rubin Sack said in a condensed voice. "The Mopu Plateau where the Falcons stopped is flat. It is the most prominent uplift and flat land in the entire northern line of defense. It is no wonder that Roya Kody is like this. The fierce general, before he is absolutely sure, dare not approach too much,
The Falcon Army stopped here, like a flock of eagles overlooking the low place from a high place. If suddenly turned over, tens of thousands of cavalry will roll down from the Mopu Plateau. Only the tens of thousands of infantry in Loya Kodi can’t To resist the opponent’s full-scale offensive thrown out like a large net, the opponent’s cavalry only needs to look back, and Royadeko’s 80,000 troops must also be accounted for.
" That's it, the Minister deserves to be the one who commanded the Battle of Bikassadi in South Asia. "Remshat admires him,
"The old things of the year, don't mention it, Remshat, how many troops do we have in the Principality of Universal?" Rubinsack put his hands on the table heavily, his eyebrows frowned thinking about something, his face Some of the slightly whitish thoughts that flashed in his mind just now, plus the position where the Falcons suddenly stopped on the report, bothered him
"A 7,000-man infantry regiment and 4,000-man cavalry! Mainly stationed in the center and border of the Duchy of Phu Tau." Remshat was stunned. I don’t know why Duke Rubinsack would ask this. , He looked at the duke’s solemn face and explained, “The area of the Principality is not large, and the army of the Principality has long been disbanded due to lack of financial resources. The garrison of 11 thousand people has proved in the past few years. Can deal with most situations! "Remchart's voice stopped, with a fierce look on his face." Of course, if there is an emergency, our 10,000 border troops stationed on the periphery of the Principality of Phu Tau can be replaced by the Principality of Phu Tau. Occupy once! Universal is not a threat to us at all!"
"So, we only have 21,000 troops in general!" Duke Rubinsack underestimated the meaning, and suddenly a glimmer of insight flashed through the brain of this experienced old man, this man for many years. The old man's face became a little pale. He thought of the inexplicable assassination of the Duke of Putao, the complete cessation of the evacuation of the Falcons, and things have become closer and closer to his own conjecture.
"This assassination was not an accident! It was a pre-designed game. Duke Rubinsack looked at Remchat on the opposite side with certainty, and said, "The general set needs more I have a hunch that something that will make the empire feel a headache soon will happen."
" Is the assassination a game? A headache? The Minister means, where does violence happen? "Remshat's two eyebrows are twisted together, if everything is as Minister Rubinsack said , Then this thing is too simple. "I have enough manpower in the Principality of Universal, at least until now, I have not received any reports of signs of violence!" Remshat said cautiously
" It hasn’t happened yet, it’s because the news of the assassination of the Duke of Buddhism has not been passed back!” Rubinsack gave him a serious look and said slowly, "I believe it will not be long before the Duke of Buddhism is here. The news of the assassination of the Falcon Empire will spread like the wind across the streets and alleys of the Putou Principality. If it was before, it would be a joke at best, but now it is different. A sad last duke, one left his homeland. , The monarch of his own country who has been bullied by the empire and forced to go to an enemy country to apologize, was assassinated by his own people abroad and was dying.
" This is simply the scene in the old-fashioned opera, but it is also the most likely to arouse the anger of ordinary people in the play "Rubin Sack's mouth curled up" In my experience, I have seen many things like this Believe me, the sympathy of the general public is actually easy to overflow and be used by others!"
Duke Rubinsack’s voice stopped, and he glanced at Remchart who was a little surprised, and tapped his fingers on the tabletop lightly. "With a slight provocation, it will lead to a sudden change of prairie fire, especially in general. This country that has been insulted and occupied by us, the silent universal Principality, will soon become like the sea where storms gather, and the whole piece will boil.
"The first target of this terrible wave swept and impacted, it will definitely be us!"
"If this is the case, I don't mind occupying Putao again! After several years of influence, the people of Putao have lost their sense of national honor, and they are no longer the original Putao!" Remshat said with a ferocious expression. "As long as they exert a little pressure, they will succumb. I have studied general people for six years, and I know them too well!"
"Occupy the general set?"
Rubinsack’s lips sneered, "The empire’s forces are located on the north and south sides, and the internal forces have almost been emptied. What shall we take to occupy Putao! If Putao is really violent*, countless mobs are surging. Entering our borders, it’s us who feel the pressure"
"This..." Remshat's face changed and he snorted heavily
"It was all caused by this hateful assassination. If this were not the case, who would care about the life and death of the Duke of General Set!"
"Don't you see it now?" Rubin Sack took a deep breath with a solemn expression. "This is a simple assassination that wiped out the hard work of the Gangfei Empire for several years. All the contrarians on the Duke’s body are turned over~IndoMTL.com~ Actually, it was on the border line that they swallowed the Vickia Falcon, who was just under 150,000 border guards!
"Our opponent is an emperor of the empire. Do you think that the noble emperor of the empire is so troublesome for the principality of a small area?"
"What the minister means, the other party wants to attack us again by occupying Pu Tau as a springboard?" Remchat blinked, revealing a trace of surprise, "Impossible, this butcher is still occupying it now." As for our northern border, if we want to invade on a large scale, it would have been invaded long ago, so there is no need to do anything extra!"
"This is where I am confused!"
Military Secretary Rubin Sack shook his head puzzledly, and said with a wry smile, "This butcher, with the flesh and blood of our non-soldiers hanging in the gaps in his teeth, suddenly attacked a little-known Principality. What does he want? What are you going to do? Although you don’t want to admit it, anyone will feel frustrated if you are against such a person.
The most terrifying thing is, even if we know it, what can we do? The opponent didn't leave him any room for reversal at all. The Falcon Army's unexpected halt was obviously to cooperate with this incident. In order to contain our limited forces in the north, the opponent's move was really incomprehensible!
