Power and Empire Chapter 1670: In the name of Falcon (8)
Galudi ** Ministry of Affairs
Earl Remchat, who was dressed up in the emperor's uniform, dignifiedly pushed open the two four-meter-high red embossed doors of the military department in front of him. The two imperial guards standing at the door immediately clenched their hands. The long-handled heavy axe collapses the body wearing bright armor straight
Remshat took off his military cap and placed it back on a desk opposite the Secretary of Military Affairs
As a high-level 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 of the Emperor to supervise military affairs.
The two living in the same room can maximize the connection between the military affairs and the emperor’s orders. This very special system in Congo and Fei has lasted for 67 years and has experienced three generations of emperors. It is also a guarantee to thoroughly implement the emperor’s intentions
"What's the matter? Remchat, it's been a long time since I saw you so gaffe!" It seemed a little surprised, the gray-haired imperial affairs minister, Duke Rubinsack, raised his head from across the desk and squinted his eyes. , Looking at the young man opposite with interest,
An empty room with plenty of light. Sunlight shines through the high windows, reflecting bright golden lines on the snow-white walls. There are not too many ornate decorations in the whole room. There are several file cabinets standing side by side, one of which is wiped every day. The whole body armor, the surface of the armor made of jīng iron, is polished with quicksand paper to be able to see the shadow of the person, and the golden tassels hang down from the position of the shoulder guard. On the chest is the wheel pattern of twelve-petal elm leaves, which represents the symbol of the Wang family, and the red cloak is draped from the shoulders to the ground.
The whole 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 He just led a 200,000 army of Gangfei and quelled the death ground of the Gangfei Empire in the south in one fell swoop. An Turkic people,
The territory of the empire, because of this campaign, extending from Central Europe to the current Strait, truly realized the actual control of the entire peninsula. That time was a turning point in the expansion of the Congolese and African empire. The empire no longer needs tension and defense inside the peninsula, but expands outwards with all its strength,
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 important ministers of the empire.
"It's nothing, just got angry about something!" Remshat smirked. In front of the leaders of the surrounding emperor circles, he didn't dare to be arrogant, so he quickly apologized and said, "I just received the news. The Duke of Putao sent to the Falcon Empire was assassinated by unknown persons in the Falcon Empire!"
"Assassination?"
Duke Rubinsack raised his eyebrows. The pen in his hand is still proficiently signing and reading the documents accumulated on the desktop. For him, an old man who has been fighting for the empire all his life, this fact is commonplace. He is the Minister of Military Affairs and pays more attention to the military. This type of intelligence is the responsibility of the senior affairs officer. He was not surprised when he heard such news. It was also expected that the person was removed in advance. Do you need to be so nervous? ?
"It's fine if you really kill it, it's a headless case at best." Remchat smiled bitterly, as if he knew what the empire veteran was thinking, and said, "The problem is that these idiots have missed! I was caught alive!
"Caught!" Rubinsack stopped the pen in his hand and 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 do all kinds of complicated military affairs of the empire.
"The empire should be full of vigor and enterprising spirit. It is really outrageous for him to be in such a position at his 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!"
It 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 Principality, which was appreciated by His Majesty. In the past few years, This high-level official is also fully responsible for the division and annexation of the Duchy of Universal, and the results are very significant. This time the Duke of Universal is forcibly ordered to go to the Falcon Empire to make amends. Remchart should be the bottom line for trying 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 secret spies from various parties in the Principality of Pu Tau. After several years of training, the resistance of Pu Tau people 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 sets seems to have collectively suffered from amnesia, and has 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 sets.
The time has come to annex the Principality of Universal Settlements. The empire has spent hundreds of years and has not solved the problem, but this time it was 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 will annex Putao, establish puppets, and then set up an imperial governor who will be in charge of the Putao Principality. Prepare to use the relationship between Putao and Strand Sea City to reorganize the imperial navy in an all-round way. 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 Remshat. A new star in the emperor world specially prepared
It's a pity. It was at such a critical moment that such an assassination took place. Duke Rubinthak shook his head secretly, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to form a tight blockade network, erasing every news that might be noticeable for several years. Painstakingly arranged. How unwilling to be reconciled to the fact that it might have been completely wiped out because of an accident! This is not only a unilateral issue that angers the Falcon Empire, but how untimely the assassination broke out.
Because this assassination will inevitably bring the forgotten Duke of Universal Set to the cusp of the storm. Coupled with the high-profile publicity of the Falcon Empire, the Duke of Putao will soon become the focus of all the sights of all classes of the empire. If he is in the position of Remshat, he will probably jump!
"If it's really an accident, forget it, I'm afraid...different from other people's innocent views. The Gangfei war ghost Rubin Sack, who was famous for his strange tactics thirty years ago, was thinking of Another ridiculous possibility. But soon he laughed at himself from the corner of his mouth, "This, it shouldn't be! "
"Your Excellency, Northern Emergency!" The voice of the adjutant resounded 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 shout like this, but came in through the guard to ask for instructions.
The adjutant opened the door and walked in, eagerly walked in front of 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 the report, 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. It still made the frontline General Roya Kody feel I am very disturbed. According to the report of General Roya Kody, we currently have only 80,000 troops on the northern frontier, while the Falcons are 120,000. We are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and combat power, and the opposing cavalry has reached 50,000. The crowd, plus the place where the opponent stopped, is also the uplifted northern Mopu Plateau. From the perspective of the terrain, once a battle begins, our army will be in no danger to defend! In view of the unknown situation of the Falcon Army, General Royadeko requested that the suspension be temporarily stopped. We will steadily advance the strategy of taking over the region and change it to be stationed on the spot!"
"Mopu Plateau in the north?"
Rubinsack took a serious look at the report. 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 to the adjutant saying, "Approval of Royatico's request! But he must stabilize the area that has been recovered and build a defensive line to deal with possible situations! "
" is "The adjutant took it, turned and left
"Your Excellency, steadily advancing the strategy of taking over the area is agreed by the emperor. If we change this way, will it..." Remchat on the opposite side was a little worried. According to his position, he could ask Rubens to ask. Ke continued 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, and the treatment 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. No wonder Roya Kody is like this. The fierce general, before he is absolutely sure, dare not approach too much,
The Falcon Army here is like a flock of eagles overlooking the low 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 Kody will not be able to resist it. The opponent’s full-scale offensive thrown out like a large net, the opponent’s cavalry only needs to turn around, and Royadeko’s 80,000 troops must also be accounted for.
"So, the Minister deserves to be the one who commanded the Battle of Bikassadi in South Asia." Remshat looked admired,
"The old things back then, don’t talk about it, Remshat, how many troops do we have in the Duchy of Universal?" Rubinsack’s hands were heavily placed on the table, his eyebrows frowned thinking about something, his face sè is a little pale, the thought that flashed in my mind just now. In addition, the position where the Falcons stopped suddenly on the report bothered him
"A 7,000-person infantry regiment and 4,000-person cavalry! Mainly stationed in the center and borders of the Duchy of Phu Tau." Remshat stunned on the opposite side. I don’t know why the Duke Rubinsack asked this. He looked at the dignified face of the Duke and explained, "The area of the Principality is not large, and the public army team has long been disbanded due to lack of financial resources. The garrison of a thousand men has proved to be able to deal with most situations in the past few years!" Remshat's voice stopped. There was a fierce face on his face. "Of course, if there is an emergency, our 10,000 frontier troops stationed outside the Pu Tau Principality can occupy the Pu Tau Principality again! Pu Tau is no threat to us at all!"
"So, we have only 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 Rubinthack looked at Remchat on the opposite side with certainty, and said, "Putall needs more Of troops. I have a hunch that something that will make the empire feel a headache soon will happen"
"The assassination is a matter? A headache? Your Minister means, where will the riots happen?" Remchat's two eyebrows were twisted together. If everything is as Minister Rubinsack said, Then this matter is too difficult. "I have enough manpower in the Principality of Universal. At least until now, I have not received any reports of signs of riots!" Remchat said cautiously.
"It hasn’t happened yet. It’s because the news of the assassination of Duke Putao hasn’t been sent back!" The **** Rubin Sack gave him a dignified look, and said slowly, "I believe it won’t be long, Duke Putao The news of the assassination in the Falcon Empire will spread like the wind across the streets and alleys of the Duchy of Universal. If it was before, it would be a joke at best, but now it is different. A sad last duke, one left. Homeland, the monarch of his own country who was bullied by the empire and was forced to go to the enemy country to apologize, was assassinated by his own people abroad and was dying.
"This is simply a scene from an old-fashioned opera, but it is also the play that most easily arouses the anger of ordinary people. "Rubin Sack's mouth is pouted." 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 Remchat who was a little surprised, and tapped his fingers on the tabletop lightly. "With a little provocation, it will lead to a sudden 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 huge 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!" Said "As long as they exert a little pressure, they will succumb. I have studied general people for six years and I know them too much!"
"Occupy Universal?"
Rubinsack sneered at the corner of his mouth, "The empire's forces are located on the north and south sides, and the internal forces have almost been emptied. What shall we use to occupy Pu Tao! If Pu Tao is really rioted, countless mobs flood into us. In Congo, it’s us who feel the pressure"
"This..." Remchat's face changed and he snorted heavily
"It was all caused by this hateful assassination. If it weren't for this, who would care about the life and death of the Duke of Universal!"
"Don't you see it now?" Rubin Sack took a dignified breath. "With a simple assassination, the hard work of the Gangfei Empire for several years was wiped out. All the contrarians of the Duke of Universal turned over at once. In fact, it was on the border line that he swallowed the Vicia Falcon, which was just under one hundred thousand and fifty thousand border guards!
"Our opponent is an empire's emperor~ IndoMTL.com~ Do you think that an empire's noble emperor has so much trouble for the principality of a small area?"
"What the minister means, the other party wants to attack us again by occupying the general set?" Remchat blinked, revealing a trace of "Impossible, this butcher is still occupying us now." As for the northern border of China, if there is a major invasion, it will be invaded long ago, so there is no need to do anything extra!"
"This is also where I am confused!"
Military Secretary Rubinsack 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 an unknown little 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, what can we do? The opponent didn't leave himself any room for a turn. The Falcon Army's unexpected stop was obviously to cooperate with this incident. In order to contain our limited forces in the north, the opponent's move was really incomprehensible! "
