Power and Empire Chapter 1680: Road to War (6)

"What is that guy Lecco doing?"

Duke Rubinsack frowned slightly. He had heard that the navy performed extremely poorly in the Southern Campaign. His Majesty was very dissatisfied with this admiral who had an overview of naval affairs. In the document, His Majesty asked Rubin Sack to be a navy helm. For Rubin Sack who was familiar with the Congolese military and was like his back garden, he immediately set his sights on the Admiral of the Second Navy Fleet. On Te Baisu,

Admiral Mutebaisu is 34 years old this year. He is brave in combat and has a cautious style. He is one of the few conservatives in the navy. It is in line with the urgent need for the imperial navy to rest. At least this Admiral Mutebaisu will not know about it. In the case of insufficient naval power, he patted his chest in front of the emperor to ensure that full control of the strait is effortless. If it were not for the navy to be too large, it would cost the empire countless financial resources and food, and mobilize one third of the empire. The army, the southern march that caused the empire to fall into embarrassment will not appear

"Please come in, Admiral Lecco!"

Rubinsack shouted sternly to the door, he could faintly guess the purpose of this Admiral Raco’s trip, because he heard a certain wind, looking at the military and non-military circles, he could influence the emperor. Your Majesty decides very few people, and he is undoubtedly the most authoritative among these few

"Slap" the door opened from the outside, and a chubby middle-aged man wearing the Imperial Navy uniform of Phnom Penh walked in cautiously from the outside and saw Duke Rubinsack, his face immediately showed a flattering smile. "My Minister"

"The admiral followed his majesty to march south! Is he coming to me at this time because the emperor has already returned to Beijing?" The **** Rubin Sack was curious and made a gesture of please sit down to him, his face deliberately expressed There is a strange god,

"This... of course not. I came back early by myself."

The Lecco, who is about to give Chen Wei to the former admiral of the navy, showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was running endlessly for a day and night, and he was in pain. Said, "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor decided to change the Admiral of the Navy. That's why he came back early!"

"Is there such a thing? Why don't I know?" Rubinthak pretended to be surprised, and there was a trace of relief in his eyes. Sure enough, the news was still leaked!

"Your Excellency Minister, don't need to hide it. Actually, I already have such a consciousness!"

Lecco shook his head. The face sè calmly said, "In the Southern Campaign, the navy was suppressed and unable to raise its head, and the sudden withdrawal of the Strand navy as a mercenary eventually led to the defeat of the battle. Even if the emperor ordered me to be abolished on the spot, I did not have anything at all. Complaint! The reason why I came to see the Minister suddenly was because on my way back, I suddenly received a report from the General Squadron! After thinking about it again and again, I still feel that I came back to meet the Minister in person last time, because this report allowed me Feeling uneasy!"

"Uneasy? What kind of report makes the admiral so nervous?"

Duke Rubinsake raised his eyebrows slightly, he could hear the sincerity in the voice of Admiral Lecco

"Putau Squadron Admiral Alange reported that he encountered the large naval fleet of the Falcon Empire in the Huacheng Island Chain in the Putau Sea area!" God Lecco carefully took out a report from his arms . Respectfully placed in front of Duke Rubinsack

"Flower City!"

Rubinsack held the hand of the report and felt as hot as the fire. Some didn't believe it and looked at the location above. That's right, Huacheng Island Chain!

The dignified gaze of Duke Rubinthak flickered like the tip of a needle, Huacheng! It is the lair of the general rebellion! The Falcon Navy also appeared on the Huacheng Island Chain! Rubinsack suddenly had a feeling of pulling away the clouds,

Yes, there is only this possibility, then everything can be explained, and the general rebels suddenly become stronger. Obviously because of the support of the Falcon Empire! Most likely, the opponent simply replaced the general rebels with the Falcon Army!

"It's no wonder that Remchat was beaten in Lisboa's head, and couldn't get close to this semi-ruined city!"

Rubinsack read the report eagerly, and can no longer care about what to say. He went straight to the desk and picked up a pen, and scribbled a few bright red words on the report, "Watch out for the Falcons", and shouted to the guard at the door, "Come on, immediately send this report as quickly as possible. Sent to Remchat to the battlefield in Lisbon"

"It seems that this report has caught up!" The long face of Admiral Lecco on the opposite side showed a trace of relaxation. He stood up from his seat, took out a thick document from his arms, and gently placed it on Rubin Sack’s desk

"This is?" Rubinsack looked at the file on the table, and the **** asked curiously

Admiral Lecco smiled at the corner of his mouth. "This is a comprehensive survey report that I spent three years on the entire Imperial Navy. Whether it is experience or grandstanding, I only hope that this document can reform the Imperial Navy. Play a little bit, then I’m satisfied"

"Why do you give me such a thing?" Rubinthak asked hesitantly

Admiral Lecco’s long mouth has a faint wry smile. "I originally wanted to wait for the Emperor to return to Beijing, and then submit it with the resignation. "The voice of Admiral Lecco stopped before continuing." But then I still felt In such an environment, even if the submission is submitted, His Majesty, who is very dissatisfied with me, will not take a look, so I decided that even if it is considered shameless, I hope that I can use the hands of the Minister to personally hand it over to the next admiral!

"There is only one wish for me. May the imperial navy be undefeated!" Admiral Lecco solemnly performed a soldier's etiquette to Duke Rubinsack, turned and walked out of the office

Looking at the back of Admiral Raco’s dejected departure, Rubin Sack took a deep breath with complicated eyes, put his hand on the paper on the table, turned over, and had to admit, the Admiral Raco. The long’s enthusiasm for the Imperial Navy is also a very capable person.

As a representative of the navy’s main battle hawks, he was only the admiral of the squadron at the beginning. Lecco, who was not outstanding in appearance, was one of the few admirals of the empire who had the courage to lead the imperial navy and the first naval power of Oubaro Lantes The opponent of the special navy,

Because of that performance, he was finally valued by His Majesty, who also liked to attack, and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy in one fell swoop, succeeding the old and old Duke Popala. And Lecco lives up to the expectations of his ambitious Emperor,

Under his full leadership, the Gangfei Navy, who was originally just a general defense, was like a beast that suddenly cheered up, in just 2 years. The number of warships and sailors doubled, and soon showed an aggressive attitude towards the Gaul Empire in the north. In several wars against Southwest Gaul, the navy used to act as the forward of the army, and the Gaul navy was beaten. Losing his helmet and armor, retreating every day. It is also Lecco confidently put forward an amazing strategy of parallel development of land and sea

"Using the army attack as the bait and the navy carrier combat as the jumping point, it finally formed a two-sided attack on the southwest!" Duke Rubinsack's mind was still echoing in the military meeting at the time, the imposing navy The admiral’s clear voice, that battle was also the most promising occupation of the southwest in just a century. If it were not for the strong intervention of the Northwest Navy, the imperial navy's superiority in the Southwest would have been reversed by World War I. This Southwestern War could be called a glorious victory!

Three days later, the document from Gangfei-Kyoto was delivered to Remchat, who was holding a military meeting, holding this document which was approved by the Secretary of Military Affairs Rubin Sack himself in red letters. Remshat’s eyes were suddenly bloodshot, as if he was stunned by a blow, and his body shook slightly.

Report the three words Falcon Army in red! Let Remchat angrily punch on the wall, blood flowed down the cracked wound, the cunning generalist, the despicable Falcon Empire, all this is a trap, the other party is under the Lisbon Torb A dead end that cannot be solved!

"My lord, what's the matter?" The general below looked at each other. No one knew that Remchat, who had always been gentle and elegant, suddenly became so irritable, it felt like someone had just burnt his ass. ,

"My lord, the general man shè a letter from the wall!" A general Gang Fei walked in from the outside holding a cluster of arrows tied to the letter. He glanced at Remchat with a blue face, and carefully handed the arrow in his hand up

"Letter from the General Man?" Remchat hesitated on his face, took the arrow cluster, and after careful inspection, he removed the letter above without any problems, his eyes were solemn and unexpected. After reading the entire letter, he took a deep breath

"What's the matter, my lord! Is this the other party’s letter of engagement?" asked the general Gang Fei who delivered the letter

"No, it's the general rebels of Lisbonto who want to negotiate with us!" Remchat raised his head, his face solemnly said every word

"Negotiating? Are the generalists crazy?" "General Gangfei exclaimed." Do they really think that if they win once or twice, they can be arrogant enough to negotiate with us. What qualifications do they have? Tell us, Lisboa is not captured, but it is still under siege. Although it is still unable to conquer, but as long as the empire's army arrives, even ten Lisboa are useless!"

"Although it is said that, but the imperial reinforcements do not know where it is!"

The corner of Remchart’s mouth twitched. As a high-ranking officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he knew very well that before His Majesty the Emperor returned, the Empire’s forces could no longer be drawn off, and the pressure of the Northern Falcon Empire also made the Empire pressure. The troops staying in the north were nailed to death. Obviously, the despicable Falcon Empire took a fancy to such a gap, so it was so unscrupulous to assist the generals! In this confrontation, Gang Fei is in a weak position, and behind the Putao people, standing behind the powerful Falcon Empire

"shè went back and told the generalists that I agree to the negotiation!" Remshat gritted his teeth, and the other party sent out the negotiation s at the time when His Majesty is about to return to Kyoto. If he can quell the rebellion, or Not only is there no fault, but it is also a very dazzling achievement. In the face of such a temptation, Remchat cannot refuse

"My lord..."

The face of General Gangfei has become ugly. For the arrogant Gangfei soldiers, negotiating with a small principality like Pu Tao is simply a humiliation, but in the regiment of Remshat With long insistence, the Congolese and Fei army agreed to the negotiation

The venue for the negotiation was set in the Sanctum’s Hall in the city. In order to finalize the candidate for negotiation, Remchart finally sent the former Governor of Lisbonto Polder, along with three young officers,

The former Governor of Lisboa, wearing a blue sè uniform from the army and wearing white sand-wrapped gloves on his right hand, after entering the city gate, he intentionally or unintentionally gently covered his nose. Because there are ruins all around, Boulder's heart is panicking when the city is full of corpses.

The smell here has a weird, moldy smell, like a kind of moldy apple. The sweet smell of lees also made his nose uncomfortable. In the beam of light that shone in from the gap of the ruins, you could see countless white and gray marks undulating below.

Since the unrest in Lisbon, the Sanctum Hall has been abandoned for a long time. The courtyard has just been cleaned up, but the original scattered traces can still be seen. The flowers and plants on both sides of the marble walkway have also been cleaned up. Some broken reliefs seem to be silently accusing the disaster. The murals in the corridors are stained. Full of ash dust. On the window sills on both sides of the corridor, the thick dust can drown one of them.

On the carpet that was once covered with corpses, there may be blood stains left by the tragedy.

These precious cashmere carpets, which should be paved in the lobby, to show the identity of the visitor and noble, need one or several young maids. Bent over, lie on the ground, carefully use delicate and white hands, like a little yellow warbler pecking rice, bit by bit, strictly in the clockwise direction to clean up, it is a small hair knot that is wrong. It may cause the whole carpet to be imperfect, which is a very laborious task and often requires a lot of people to be mobilized. Busy for a lunch or a day to complete,

But now it’s a war. Don’t talk about careful cleaning, even if it’s washing, just find some cloth brooms. I washed it with water a few times, and then I cleaned it up casually. It was laid on the ground carelessly. The wool carpet was completely messed up and tangled together like small particles. The weird smell emanated from here. Coming out, for Governor Borde who has been accustomed to the floral fragrance of Lisboa and the rich carpeting, it is as terrible as hell. These tangled hairballs are like cracks in his heart.

"The Lisboa to Rì no longer exists, and the Lisboa is only a little better than **** now!"

The **** sè of Governor Boulder is very complicated. It used to put a lot of effort here. Under the guidance of a few general soldiers, he walked into the negotiation room. There was a long table with four people sitting opposite. , One is the Duke of Putu with a cold face, and the other is the king of Raphael, who is sad. There are two others who don’t know each other, but judging from the upright back posture and the attire on the body, they should all be soldiers, Boll. The gaze drifted slightly surprised by the weapon on one of the waists,

That is a very strange style, strange arc, it seems to give this weapon far more fierce slashing ability than long swords, Boll's thinking is completely subconscious, he does not know that this evil Since the moment it was born, it has been linked to the horrendous military exploits of the Shishan Blood River. Although this war knife is still inserted in the scabbard, it is on the hilt because it is often infested with blood, and the surface can be vaguely I saw some looming red traces, which are blood rust formed by blood invading into the gap of the knife handle

"Your Excellency Governor Borde, what do you think of the ruined Lisbon Tower in front of you?" Seeing the sight of Borde, the face of the Duke of Universal became more and more cold." I remember, the Governor of Borde was at the beginning. I said, this is the most beautiful place you have ever seen. Now, do you still feel beautiful?"

The Lisboa Torto civil unrest is the army that the governor ordered that should be maintained in order. It turned a blind eye to the entire turmoil, which eventually led to a small turmoil of just one or two blocks, which in a few days turned into the cruelty that swept the entire Lisbon Tor The turmoil, countless people of Putao, lost their lives in this turmoil, because the Eastern Rebellion was the source, and turmoil in other regions also broke out at the same time. If you want to say who is the person who harmed Putao the most, this Boulder The Governor is definitely number one.

"I'm sorry, but this is war!" Bolde didn't expect that the Duke of Universal would ask such words. He couldn't help responding with a guilty conscience. Only he knew that that night, the other person was in charge of the command. There are people,

"War is not about slaughter of civilians! Look at it because of you~IndoMTL.com~This city turned from heaven to hell" The Duke of General set gritted his teeth, held his fingers, his joints gurgled. "If it's not for negotiation now , I will definitely order you, the murderer who destroyed Lisbonto, to be hanged"

At this moment, the whole space is quiet,

"Let’s start the negotiation. These boring conversations will not help the negotiation!" Bold suddenly turned his eyes away, obviously unwilling to continue to mix things up. The commander that night called Remchat, Polder wanted to say that, but finally held back it.

The Duke of Putou who was sitting in his seat snorted dissatisfiedly. Compared with the aggressive Duke of Putou, the other King of County Raphael was much quieter, his eyes still wandering in fear. Especially when he saw Boulder’s face suddenly turned blue, the cowardly king of the county, almost shouting, "I was forced to negotiate!"

"Tell us about the conditions!" Pold sat down in the first place, looking at the Duke of Putu who was in the first position on the opposite side at the same time. The officers behind him sat down beside him. He was rude to the Duke of Putu. I am also very indignant, but what can I do? The two previous siege defeats have made myself lose the confidence to speak hard at this negotiating table.
