Power and Empire Chapter 1972: Pick me up
glanced over the report that Li Yuehua had thrown on the table, and the young man frowned slightly. This is the report that Li Yuehua brought. It is naturally not a simple one for this woman who is still angry with her heart. The report, it won’t be troublesome! The young man rubbed his temples helplessly. The empire had just completed its battle against the Congolese region. Compared with the empire’s majestic martial arts that defeated Central Europe, the agreement between the empire and another powerful empire, Istan, was considered a huge harvest.
took over thousands of miles in the northern part of Congo. It was an embarrassing plain area. In the strongest era of the Congo empire, that area had a population of nearly 20 million people and hundreds of economies. Although the prosperous towns have suffered from the madness of the Istanbul, the remaining population is less than 5 million. The city is devastated, but the foundation is still there. It is close to the geographical advantage of the most prosperous southwestern part of the empire. Cao is done properly, and it may not be impossible to recover to its original heyday within three to five years. Then the empire will be able to obtain another vast and huge grain producing area besides the northwest region.
took the report on the table and opened it, and took a look at the letter inside. The young man’s cynical gaze turned cold, and the report was thrown on the table, and the young man couldn’t help kicking it aside. On the chair, the sturdy nanmu chair was kicked and fell apart, and the bookcase next to the chair was hit and the books fell to the ground
"Your Majesty, what's the matter!"
The two captains of the guards standing guard at the door thought something was wrong in the room, they pushed them away and rushed in. They saw the young man standing in front of the window with a pale face, tall and straight, his black hair dancing in the wind, his eyes flashing With the harsh light, the whole person is like a sharp sword, so I dare not look directly at it,
"It's nothing. Just accidentally touched my hand and pulled the door closed. I want to calm down by myself"
The young man waved his hands, and the two guards captains nodded quickly, reverently exited the door, closed the office door, and stood straight at the door, as if nothing had happened before, and could become the captain of the guards. Those are not fools, you know from what you did just now. Your Majesty is enduring his anger, who dares to talk more!
The young man’s face became calmer, he rubbed his swollen temples, his eyes scanned the messy books under his feet, he saw the wooden chair that was kicked to pieces by himself, and his expression was a little surprised. When did he become So irritable, the war is a victory and defeat. If I withdrew the main force of the empire from Gaul, I should naturally take such a risk,
Two enemies who could not join forces suddenly joined forces, and a trap was dug down. One pretends to be a frontal traction, and the other is a surprise attack from behind. If you put yourself in the position of Salon, it is very good to be able to decisively order a retreat. The reason for the defeat this time was that, apart from the lack of troops, the opponent had a mental arithmetic and unwillingness to occupy the land. There is also the unexpected combination of the four major powers in the east and the remnants of Gaul. Although Saron is a little reckless, he is also a battle-fighting imperial officer. Moreover, he performed bravely this time, and he was barely martyred. Ten thousand troops to carry the Eastern Allied Forces and Gaul’s remnants combined with nearly 150,000 troops, the only thing left is the pants, which is very good.
But, why is this? Huge doubts also echoed in the young man’s heart. According to what he knew about the vicious woman Algernon Julia, that woman was very beautiful, but she was best at biting her back. This time she didn’t know how to enter. It’s no longer shocking to persuade the four major powers in the East to join forces, and there is even a feeling that young people can hardly recognize. "That woman, what is the reason for the change? Unless there is something worthy of this woman's enthusiasm, what is it? Yeah!"
The young man talked to himself, trying to find the answer, and felt that he lacked the most important clues at hand. He just saw a copy of Gaul Geography at his feet. At this time, what could be better than a map to make people know what they really wanted. , The young man bent down and picked up the Gaul geography under his feet, and gently stroked the book cover with his fingers. The delicate and smooth antelope skin has been carefully nitrated and frosted. It feels as comfortable as oily silk in the hand. High-end goods, judging from the subtle cracks in the leather that are full of history, they are at least hundreds of years of antiquities.
The atlas in the album also uses leather paper, a light yellow texture, and a blue ink pen very carefully outlines the map. It is not half as refined as the Falcon Empire military map, but it is even more impressive. The markers of is clear at a glance, and when he flips to the location of the map inside, the young man’s eyes are reflected in the approximate outline of the mountains of eastern Gaul
The entire eastern Gaul mountain region is like a huge inverted bowl mouth. The vast mountain is a natural barrier to the east. Only a narrow plain of about fifty or sixty miles in the middle of the mountain can be used as a habitat, which is similar to The plain like a mountain pass is the area where the four major powers in the east are located.
The narrow and long terrain makes this small area look like the cecum of the empire. Strategically speaking, the strategic location of this mountainous plain is extremely important. Whoever can control it will have to control the entry into Central Bahia or Highland. Lu’s route, after Gaul’s ambitions for eastern expansion encountered strong blockages from China and Biya on other routes, his expectation for entering from the mountain plains into China and Biyah became more and more urgent.
The Gaul Empire has used troops here many times, but they have had little effect. In addition to the terrain, but also because of the mountainous plains as the corridor, to the east is the Central Bialand region, and to the west is Obaro. In the region, when the Gaul army is aggressively attacked, the people in the plain can easily escape into the territory of Central and Biyah along the corridor. The Gaul army who occupied the inner plain of the mountain will soon have to retreat due to lack of supplies. This saw-saw period lasted almost a hundred years, until eighty years ago,
Gaul, who has superior military strength, is preparing to build a city on the mountain plain, but the outline of the fortress is built, and other living materials are difficult to transport in.
Locals who are familiar with the mountains can use the complex mountainous terrain as a cover to continue to harass the Gaul transportation forces. It is useless to use rocky cities, because the army cannot be stationed forever. Once the locals cut off the supply lines, the city The soldiers garrisoned have to wait for death,
Finally, Gaul reached an agreement with the aboriginal people in the mountain plain. The long and narrow mountain basin was divided into four regions, becoming the eastern province of Gaul. After being attached to Gaul in name, the Gaul side It is also equivalent to acquiescing to the general nature of an independent kingdom in the eastern mountains
After reviewing the mountain map, combined with the reports received. The young man understood the situation in his mind. Looking at the horseshoe-shaped mountain plain on the map, a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. "This woman has a bit of foresight, knowing that she does not have enough troops and strength to stay in the plain. The resources, at most, are lingering for a while, but it is different if you can enter the mountainous plains where you have the terrain. Using the mountain terrain, plus the remaining tens of thousands of troops, or you can also have the opportunity to fight the empire! Saron is defeated! The eastern coalition forces flood into the eastern provinces. As the occupied area becomes larger and larger, when the eastern coalition forces in the base camp are always empty, this woman’s fangs will bite down!"
walked to the desk, the young man quickly wrote a letter, walked to the door and handed it to the guards on guard, saying, "I will send back to Gaul Kyoto! Tell Statunko that there is at least mobilization of reinforcements from the southwest area. It will take a month, in this month. He only needs to guard Gaul Kyoto!” “The captain of the guard leaves quickly with the order book.” June is the most anticipated month. “One One hundred and seventy years ago, a Gaul poet who entered this long and narrow mountain basin for the first time expressed such emotions, after hobbled through the mountains. Suddenly seeing a piece of green wheat seedlings floating in the mountain breeze like water waves in front of me, I will have such emotions. The mountains are high and cold, and the ripening period of wheat takes more than half a month at night than in the plains. At the beginning of the earing season, which is also the most rainy season, a torrential rain swept across the beautiful mountain plains. The long-dried mountain wheat swallowed the rain hungrily, the sad peasant smiled, and the large raindrops also hit Algernon Julia’s frizzy window, which is definitely not gorgeous, leaving a piece of it. The white spray, like in the gloomy rainy season, always spreads a disturbing atmosphere,
A wet kitten curled up at the foot of the closet in the room, with big crystal eyes open, watching the mistress in a black skirt from the long brown desk I took out a quill pen from the roll and wrote something on a piece of paper very carefully. The pretty face like a moon hook seemed more melancholy than the rain outside, and the rustling writing sound was like the sound of rain outside. The air in the room was damp, and there was a rush of horses hooves from outside the window, and the loud shouts from outside the window could be heard. March towards Gaul Kyoto!" With such a good news, cheers came from the window at the same time. The recent period is definitely the most exciting and exciting time for people in the mountain and plains. Almost every day I can hear the sound of great victory coming from the front line. In these news, all are saying that the ferocious Falcon Imperial Army is being defeated, and the morale of the Eastern Allied Forces is like a savior and has been warmly welcomed by the eastern Gaul region.
It may be that the sound outside the window is a bit noisy. Algernon Julia stood up, stopped the quill in his hand, and walked to the open window and put it on the window. He looked calm, and he couldn't see anything outside the window. Where the cheers are related, "Sister Julia, I’m Elkas! Can I come in?" A young man’s voice came from outside,
"Come in!" Algernon Julia folded the letters in her hand on the table, stroked her hand and brushed her hair on her shoulders like waves. Because she is a hostage, she is now under semi-house arrest. Although the four major ruling authorities did not take coercive measures against her, they also limited the scope of her activities. As a hostage, she cannot contact the outside world. However, because the two parties are in a joint relationship, she can write back. This is okay. That he is alive and well,
This Elkas is the one who comes to collect letters every two days. He comes from one of the three prominent families in the city. It is said to collect letters, more like surveillance. All letters will be opened by secret means. Open it, and then seal it after reading it. Algernon Julia, who was once good at this, knew it well, but she still put on a look of jī, and a young man in cyan aristocratic clothes opened the door. When he walked in, he saluted Algernon Julia, his eyes stopped for a moment on the letter on the table, and there was a slight expression of surprise on his face. In his impression, there were fewer and fewer letters in the past few days. Yes, last time it was six, but this time there were only two. "Sister Xiaojun has been in a bad mood recently?" Erkas asked cautiously. "There are some. It doesn't feel good to be treated as a hostage!" Algernon Julia smiled like a flower and said, "But in such a sad rainy season, it is very happy to hear the great victory of the coalition forces every day. After all, we are allies. The victory of the coalition forces is our victory. "The coalition forces have occupied the four eastern provinces. Less than a hundred miles away from Gaul Kyoto, it is indeed a great victory like a dream! And all this must be thanked by Sister Xiaojun. Plan! Who can think of it, when the famous Falcon Empire Army will be beaten like a bereaved dog, it is because our military strength is somewhat insufficient. After all, the place is getting bigger and bigger."
Mentioned the victory of the coalition forces, Alkas's face immediately became a bright red with excitement. He has dark brown curly hair, and on the tall nose, there is a clever and wise gaze. A well-fitted blue uniform is worn on the young body, as if the vigorous sun has just risen from the horizon, "Allied forces can recruit troops from the local area! Four provinces. How can they recruit more than 100,000 people? Strength!" Even though Algernon Julia is sitting, her back is very straight. The towering peach-shaped chest, slender waist and white slender neck made Erka Die on the opposite side look straight.
"Don't mention recruiting, it won't work at all!" Erkas's face looked a little angry and said, "The Falcon army has almost left us from the initial resistance to the rapid retreat. Let's recruit. , Those people want food from us, you know. Now is the time when the wheat ears are green and yellow. No one has extra food, but the army has to fight and needs to be full to fight vigorously. But those outsiders don’t care at all. , They told Ken to sell the food to the Falcon Army and were unwilling to give it to us, so..." Erkas's voice paused, and the expression of hesitant expression showed everything.
"You robbed it?"
Algernon Julia has a cold face. The slender fingers were clenched together, "Grab some," Erkas said unabashedly, as if it should be the case.
"Have you murdered?" Algernon Julia asked again, his tone more serious and cold
"Execute some people who are not willing to pay for food! I really don't understand these people, they don't want food!" Erkas curled his lips, "You...stupid!" Algernon Julia's lips trembled, suddenly Stand up and look at Ilkas with a stunned look like ice. "Take the letter and go out now!" Algernon Julia took a deep breath and threw the two letters on the table to Elkas, raised his finger to the door, "Sister Julia, what's the matter with you?" Elkas looked a little dazed. He didn't know why Julia was so angry, that face seemed to be Say, we are here to save you, how can they even hate food! "Get out!" When the conversation goes on, she is afraid that she can't help but slap this young mountain man in the face,
She predicted that the Eastern Allied Forces would act on the Gaul civilians in the occupied areas because of a lack of food, but she didn't expect it to be so fast. In just a few days, the Eastern Allied Forces eagerly used the attitude of the occupiers. It's really a group of guys who can't help. The four provinces, if they can be used well, they may not have the ability to compete with the Falcon Empire. At least they can expand on a large scale in a short time, but I didn't expect these to be in the mountains. The mountain people who have been living in the plains for hundreds of years have long since had no ambition to expand outward
Wait until Elkas left, she turned around with difficulty and let out a sigh of relief, like a gambler who made the righteousness just before the bet was about to start. These mountain people are really not worth it. Have mercy!
The raindrops in the night hit the top of the military tent. In the middle army tent of Algernon Katja, the blazing bonfire was as bright as day. The generals were talking in twos and threes. They were called up in the middle of the night. , But no one complained about it. Since breaking the Falcon Army’s blockade in the mountains, Algernon Katja’s 50,000 troops stopped advancing, and the generals could only watch the Eastern Allied Forces enter the Eastern Province. According to the agreement~IndoMTL.com~These areas belong to the Eastern Allied Forces, and they are also sending troops. Why can the Eastern Allied Forces make a lot of money, but I can only drink cold rain in this mountainous area. The whole army is now Is very dissatisfied
There are more and more people in the big tent, and the black people's heads are crushed. Um, the comments are like flies. The heads are crowded in the big military tent. No one knows what happened, but the ten people standing on the left side of the military tent The Guards could see that something must happen tonight, and everyone who entered the Great Tent had an ominous premonition.
"I took the liberty to disturb everyone's dreams!" Algernon Katja walked in from the military tent gate with a sullen face, waved to the officers who were discussing, and the sound of the discussion immediately disappeared without a trace. , The silent big account, can only hear the footsteps of Algernon Katja walking to the front desk, "I know that everyone has opinions. No one likes those aloof mountain people, but in order to fight the enemy, we need to use them. And now, I can say that they are worthless!" Algernon Katya held up the two letters in his hand. The letters had not been opened. Under the bewildering eyes of everyone, Algernon Katya placed the two letters The brazier in the military tent was grilled, and writing appeared on the outer skin of the letter, "That is!" There was silence and breathing around, and everyone could clearly see that it was the two words "Pick me!"
Algernon Katja put down the two letters, drew out his saber abruptly, and shouted, "The whole army obeys the order, pull out the camp tonight, and go straight to the plains in the mountains!"
