Power and Empire Chapter 1613: People from Dongting are here (1)
Northwest Coast, Xinhai City
The huge harbor in the rain water presents an impressive sight of the sea and the sky. At the end of April, it represents the last scenery of the chūn season. It was also shrouded in the drizzle of early summer. In Xinhai City, more and more merchant ships docked. The waves from the wind continue to hit the side of the merchant ship, and on the slightly swaying deck, porters in the port are hoisting boxes of wooden boxes down. Everyone can feel the wild violence of nature. The light of lightning flashes through the sky from time to time, and there are bursts of dull thunder, and the sound of huge waves crashing from the port can be faintly heard
The fat man walked into the office with a serious face, and chose to be in the office with his sweating profusely
"What's the matter, is the number of people counted?"
The fat man sat down on the chair opposite Duocho, and the sudden heavy rain caused a lot of trouble. The wilderness of the northwest coast, lack of vegetation, and the natural **** of the terrain, was caught off guard by the heavy rain. , Sometimes, natural disasters are more confusing than wars,
Fatty also just got information from Duocho. Due to the previous lack of understanding of the terrain, the protective measures in some areas are not adequate, especially in the new immigrant areas. Many new immigrants do not have sufficient protection awareness. A large-scale mudslide hit the entire northwest coast,
"Too many, lack of tools for mining, and limited manpower to make statistics at all!"
Selected to pick up the report on the table, shook his head with a wry smile, and hung his head to the chagrin. He poured so much effort on the northwest coast, looking at remote coastal areas step by step, from a sparsely populated The area has now become an area with a population of nearly a million, many towns and people live and work in peace, but this rain has severely pressed the newly rising northwest coast.
"Can't count?" Fatty's frowning eyebrows are twisted together, it seems that the situation is more serious than expected
"Yes. The subordinates went to see a few disaster-stricken areas a few days ago, and they can only be described as terrible!" Choosing a gloomy glance at the other reports on the table, he announced the disaster. Circumstances, he lowered his head and said, "This disaster came so suddenly, the subordinates were completely unprepared, and the scope was extremely large. There were 73 similar reports on the table of the subordinates. Without tools, and lack of sufficient manpower, The subordinates were unable to dig out the corpses under the mud and rock in a short period of time, and the death toll could not be counted. The natural disaster affected areas all over the northwest coast. The subordinates looked at several disaster points. Most of them were built on italic hills. The villages under the rain, the mud and sand, the slopes or mud above the houses, and the huge mudslides mixed with miscellaneous trees, like a torrent, flattened the villages and towns without barriers underneath overnight. The biggest one, it turned out to be half The city was washed away, and more than 13,000 people disappeared! Now it is a city of mud!"
"13,000 people were buried in one go!"
The fat man couldn't sit still this time, and got up from his seat. This is a man! 13,000 people are equal to the population of a city on the northwest coast. It's really a pain. The corners of the fat man's mouth are slightly bitter, and his eyes are watching the rain that is still falling outside. I couldn't help but sighed inwardly, "Sure enough, people are not as good as the sky". It took me so much effort to make the northwest coast appear in this thriving scene, and opened up a bet with blood as a bet. The dilemma in the southwest,
Originally, I was going to wait until the army arrived in May. Relying on the absolute military power in hand, thoroughly integrate the power of the northwest, letting the northwest instead of the northwest coast. Completely become a wheel that enables the empire to advance, who knows but was stunned by the so-called rainstorm, or it was the fault of the weak foundation. Fortunately for the fat man, the damage caused by these mudslides did not affect the army too much. , Otherwise I will lose all my money
"The Governor's Mansion needs to deploy personnel who can participate in disaster relief, but there are disasters everywhere!" Multi-selected eyes carefully looked at the silent, but heavy face, the fat man said hesitantly.
"Now there is enough labor on the northwest coast, only the army, so..."
"Are you mobilizing the army at this time?" The fat man's eyes flashed with cold light, and Ducho shrank his head in fright, and quickly explained, "The subordinates also know that this request is really out of date. The possibility of a declaration of war seems to be stable in the northwest, but Denia, Rusend and other forces are still unaffected areas. At this time, mobilizing the jīng sharp army to leave the defense line and return to the disaster relief is really unreasonable, but looking at the northwest coast for more than ten The souls who are in desperate need of rescue can only rely on the old to sell the old, licking an old face to intercede with your majesty, and choose not to understand the military, but also knows that your majesty has high hopes for May, but..."
"Okay, needless to say, I will order the army to participate in the rescue!"
The fat man raised his hand and interrupted Duo Se, walked to the desk to write a new order, and then handed it to Duo Se, and said with relief, "It’s okay, at most it’s postponing some time, it’s irrelevant to the overall situation, but it’s hard work for you. "
"Dare not, this is the responsibility of the subordinates!"
The eyes flickered with excitement, his hands trembled slightly to accept the fat man's order, and he almost knelt down unmoved. He didn't expect that the fat man would easily agree to this seemingly rude request. In this era, The life and death of civilians have never been in the eyes of the monarch, that is, if they are softer, they will ask His Majesty the Falcon to send an army for such a thing. You must know that the economic ability of the Vecia Falcon is recognized in Ikadiva. /
A slanted southwestern corner of the Southwest, stupefied to become the richest in the mainland within a few years, not to mention military capabilities, the name of the Continental Army God, the record of undefeated battles, is cast by the resentment and blood of many generals, to No one has broken it now, and most of the Ikadivas don’t think that this record will be broken in the future. Your Majesty Falcon is already your Majesty, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to truly command the battle. Whether you can win is one time. If there is no chance for you to win, that is the most distressing.
But speaking of His Majesty Falcon is a merciful and compassionate monarch, that is nonsense. The army is rampant, killing millions of people, and destroying countless cities. The order to slaughter the city has also been issued, and the blood is under the banner of Falcon War. , Bones and bones, when will you be hooked with compassion?
Unfortunately, Ducho didn't know that his touch was completely meaningless and sent troops to help the disaster. This is really normal for a modern person like Fatty, so DuoCho can never think of the real reason.
Standing at the window, looking at the city in the raindrops outside the window, with red walls and blue roofs layered on top of each other. From a distance came the chime of the time, and the clanging, crisp sound came through the rain curtain. The fat man took a deep breath of the air-conditioning outside the window.
"This rain, I'm afraid it won't stop, I'm afraid it won't work in May. In June, the weather will start to heat up, there will always be some cumbersome marching operations, if it is delayed until July, the harvest season , It seems quite greasy!” The fat man thought of the benefits he had made in Bangor last time, muttered to himself in a low voice, “It’s July. Let the army be hungry for two months, so that he can go out. Bite!" The fat man smiled playfully at the corner of his mouth and turned around from the window.
Seeing Duoze staring at him melancholy, Fatty's face immediately turned green. No matter how you look at it, Duoze's gaze made him feel like a thief. Fatty couldn't help but angrily asked, "Are there other things?" "
"No... No more. The subordinates will do it right away." Chosen was stunned for a while before reacting, and quickly left with a cold sweat with the order book. Damn, the mind that can guess is still the mind of the Vikea Falcon. !
Ten minutes after choosing to leave, there was a knock on the door that made the fat man feel familiar,
"Come in! Hu Keqili" The fat man did not look back. From the habit of knocking on the door, he also knew who came, and there were only so few people who could knock on the door without going through the guard report. Multi-choice. Because he is old and thin, knocking on the door always seems a little thin. Hu Keqili is a swordsman and has great power on his wrist. On the contrary, knocking on the door is the most rhythmic, just like swinging a sword, Salon. Needless to say, a fox is nothing more than that,
Be careful when knocking on the door. If you knock on the door for the first time and there is no noise in the room, this guy will definitely stand at the door for an hour, and then knock a second time, and so on, the longest one. This guy knocked on the door 8 times, for 7 hours. That time, the fat guy was drunk.
Sure enough, Hu Keqi, in the uniform of the captain, pushed the door and walked in, holding a report in his hand, standing at the door, and reporting, "Your Majesty, just received news from the Baston area. , We have three military camps..."
"Is it a mudslide?" The fat man turned away from the window without waiting for him to finish his sentence. It seems that he is still not spared. Now I can only pray that there is not much loss.
"Yes, it has been counted that 123 people are missing! 243 people were injured." Hu Keqili was a little surprised, but he nodded sternly and hesitated." The subordinates are a little worried. It is said that many places have suffered. There was a mudslide, but this is the only report from the military! I heard that the barracks in Oacha also suffered a similar situation. The loss was not large, but more than 20 people were casualties! There should be some military camps with small losses, all of which are related to casualties. Concealed, otherwise the total number should add up to more than a thousand people!"
"The natural disasters are not terrible, I'm afraid of being fucked! This matter is your sole responsibility, and I will let the Supervision Department cooperate with you." A trace of anger flashed across the fat man’s face, he punched on the table and said angrily, "The military is different. And the civilians, because they didn’t die on the battlefield, these soldiers didn’t even have the proper post-death treatment. All the soldiers watched. The situation that caused the army's heart to shake because of concealment and non-reporting should definitely not be in our Falcon Army. Appear! Regardless of the rank of the military, from the corps commander, the banner commander, and the squadron commander, a thorough investigation!"
" But if it involves the rank of legion commander, the subordinates are afraid..." Hu Keqili hesitated. He could hear that the words of His Majesty Falcon contained a chilling killing intent, which is more serious. Now, Long Yan was furious, his head was rolling, and as a general of the zhōngyāng legion, he was enough to suppress the officers of other legions,
But it’s very difficult for Saraon, who is also the commander of the army. No one can guarantee that this matter can be so peaceful.
"Don't worry, that guy is not that stupid! He won't participate in this kind of unprofitable thing." The fat man laughed, he obviously knew what Hu Keqili was worried about.
"However, my subordinates are still worried. After all, Lord Saron’s army is not in control of me. If Lord Saron looks at it like this, his subordinates treat all colleagues of the Saron army really... "Hu Keqili looked at the fat man with a pitiful look on his face, and his eyes looked at the fat man pitifully,
Saron’s habit of protecting shortcomings is very well-known in the Falcon Army, because Saron’s courageous temperament for the three armies dictates that the arrogant and brave generals are really appropriate to compare Saron and his generals, not to mention the whole The generals of the Salon Legion were mostly the Northern Army from the Samor era. Those were the three major descendants of His Majesty the Falcon. They were not much more powerful than the troops of the Zhōngyāng Army. Don't be afraid of death, otherwise, how could you just slap your head in the era of Samor, and follow Saron to face the Swadian One Hundred Thousand Northern Army jīng sharp! A unit that makes the Swadian army feel extremely difficult,
"You sent an order to Salon, saying that I asked him to come to me to discuss military affairs for a few days! That guy absolutely dare not come!" The fat man raised his hand and waved his hand impatiently, and said decisively "You first check the garrisons everywhere. Then check the Salon army! Finally, the northern border guards. I know that the military laws are a bit messy recently. No matter what you do, if you don’t roll more than ten heads to frighten the whole army, you too. Don't come back to see me!"
"Yes, the subordinates understand!" Hu Keqi nodded respectfully. Ten heads, naturally, they cannot belong to a soldier. The lowest level must be a squadron leader. The storm in the army is no smaller than the rain in front of you. This rain is not only flowing mudslides, but also human blood!
The rain outside the window continued to ravage Xinhai City, and the wind roared. The rain was pouring, and the large military map on the wall was pulled apart in the spacious and bright conference room, and the young adjutant was introducing the situation of the entire southwest.
In the meeting room, the fat man looked indifferent, and Saraon, who had just arrived, didn't understand the situation at all, so she could only open her eyes wide. Staring at the position of the adjutant's finger, this young adjutant was around twenty-five years old. Similar to the natural disaster in the northwest, the southwest was also affected by the rain. As the southwest door opened, a large number of caravans Going south, the information that was originally closed keeps coming back.
"Murphy's Dragon Cavalry No. 22 is close to Fort Puduoya on the border between Congo and Africa. According to intelligence, the Congolese and African troops have completely abandoned the previous occupation area and are shrinking the defense line in an all-round way...!" Young The adjutant pointed at the military map with his baton. Point by location, when the young adjutant mentioned that the Southwest Army had taken back an occupied area, Salong finally couldn’t help but curiously asked
"Your Majesty, does the fighting of the Southwest Army have a lot to do with us?"
"If I said, no, would you believe it?" The fat man sat on the seat, curled his lips indifferently, his tone was light and utterly incomprehensible. He pulled Sarong here entirely to make Hu Ke Kellett went to work, and the Falcons won steadily during this period. Both the navy and the army achieved brilliant victories, especially in the Southwest Gambling World War I. The Northwest Army’s reputation was greatly shaken, and 21 light cavalry was exchanged for 150 Southwest. Riding Murphy’s dragon-armored heavy cavalry has become people’s talk after dinner. Invisibly, the arrogance of the various armies is faintly rising. Take the mudslide as an example. If there is no thunder method to deter the whole army , The dead may not be as many as a hedge when the two armies confronted each other, but the influence on the military spirit is enough to produce a fatal shaking force
Fatty knows very well that his Falcon army is invincible and invincible. It swept the entire Ikadiva in just a few years, not only because of the good weapons, but also the rich military rewards and after death. High welfare-based,
Because you know that even if you die in battle, your family will not be treated badly, so even an ordinary Falcon soldier will fight to the death and never back down. However, the mudslide incident has undoubtedly touched this bottom line.
Since the soldiers who died were not killed in battle, they could not be included in the list, and naturally they could not get the treatment they deserved. One person died, thousands of people, this situation will seriously impact the loyalty of countless other soldiers to the empire.
Once you encounter a deadly battle, who would believe the empire’s promise that you can get the benefits you deserve even if you die in battle? These soldiers are the sharpest soldiers in the empire. Their vacillation directly affects the battle of the entire empire Force
As for the level of this storm, the fat man is not very worried.
Hu Keqili is a wise man. Since he said in advance that Salon will not have anything to do with this matter, I believe that in Hu Keqili’s report, the name of Salon will never appear. As for the flag group Long, if someone really intervenes, then ask for your blessings! The heads of one or two banner commanders can shock the entire army more than ten white heads of middle and lower-level officers. The military is ruthless, and you can't blame anyone if you hit it.
"Letter~IndoMTL.com~As long as your Majesty said it, your subordinates believe it!"
Saron shrank his head in fright. According to his understanding with His Majesty Falcon, the more lightly and weakly, the more it means that the master is on fire. Isn’t it the Southwest? Your Majesty said there 365 days a year. It's all in the dark, do you have anything to do with yourself?
"You have died recently, have you heard of it?" The fat man glanced at Salon with scorching eyes, and made beads of sweat appear on Salon's forehead, his mind turned crazily, and the person died? Your Majesty Falcon’s words can be big or small, I really can’t figure it out,
Just when the fat man was about to dial a few more words, a guard captain nervously pushed open the door of the conference room and handed an urgent message to the fat man,
The fat man took a look, his hand holding the report seemed to be scalded by fire, and he immediately closed his smiling face
"What's the matter, Your Majesty!" Saron, who sensed something wrong, stood up quickly,
"Dongting people are here!" The fat man took a deep breath, as if swallowing a date that was difficult to swallow, and said word by word, "I just received a report from the northern border. The prairie cavalry troops appeared at a distance of 50 miles from the long wall!" (To be continued...)
