Law of the Devil Chapter 330: [Take advantage of the problem]

Chapter 330 [Exercise by borrowing]

It seems that the direction of things seems clear, but the old general Hughes seems to be a bit dissatisfied: "His Royal Highness, transferred from Wang Cheng Guards, I have no opinion. I also believe that the brave soldiers can defend the imperial capital. . But from the Southern Legion ... Your Highness, the situation of the Southern Legion, everyone knows. Historically, for many years, every time the Empire expanded its navy, it was from the Southern Legion to recruit troops to supplement the navy. Today, the Southern Legion has only There is a huge shelf left, and this time if another division is sent ... "

"Let the navy soldiers return land!" The last word of the regent finally made up his mind!

Return?

This new word shocked everyone!

In the past two decades, the empire ’s military strategy has focused on the sea and the land, which is a recognized fact!

The warships are getting bigger and bigger, the navy expands and expands, and the Nanyang expedition expands ...

Although the recent expedition has been less than one harvest at a time. But after all, it is still profitable every time. Even the Minister of Finance has to admit that the expedition can bring benefits to the empire, as long as you don't spend any more time on the people and hurt your wealth to do grand celebrations and triumphs.

The old finance minister is not opposed to the triumphal ceremony, after all, it is an honor to the expeditionary officers. However, just for a formal show, the canal was widened hundreds of miles, hundreds of thousands of labors were launched to operate, and it cost millions of gold coins ... It was really stupid.

In everyone's mind, the expedition to Nanyang still maintains a certain favor. After all, the benefits of so many years of expeditions. Have left a deep "vanity" in everyone's hearts!

Even Dewey's father, Earl Raymond. So a smart and capable person, in fact, does not object to the South Ocean Expedition, but just feels that "the number of expeditions should be slightly reduced, and the time interval is carefully calculated." !!

This step of "Returning Land" by Prince Chen. But it is farther than the imagination in everyone's mind! !!

For military gangster Hughes, every army is his lifeblood, and the abolition of any army is extremely reluctant to the military ... When he heard this, Immediately, his face changed, and he was about to oppose loudly, but felt a ray of eyes shot from the side. It is Robescher, the old prime minister.

There was a deep warning and discouragement in Robscher's eyes. Old Hughes immediately felt cold, knowing that the old prime minister hinted that he must not be against the regent now.

"The combatants of the Imperial Navy have risen to nearly 150,000! Nearly a thousand warships!" Prince Chen said indifferently: "This year, there are 20 new large-scale warships about to be launched ... How glorious it is ... It ’s familiar, what a powerful number! What a huge number! Huh, indeed. Everyone is intoxicated by the strength of the navy, the navy is invincible ... but I would like to ask you. Such a powerful navy, such an invincible navy ... I What's the use here? "

Prince Chen slammed the table. With a snap, everyone was shocked.

I heard Prince Chen Shensheng asking: "Useful? To deal with the indigenous people of the Southern Ocean? Against those who can only row in small canoes. Holding spears tied with wooden sticks and stones, and bows and arrows made from branches. The indigenous people who come to fight? Just to deal with these indigenous people, it will cost our Roland Empire millions of military expenses each year, 150,000 navies, and nearly a thousand warships !!! Thanks to us, we are actually intoxicated by this kind of victory. The dream is simply a joke! It is a shame! The navy is invincible? It is indeed invincible! That is because there is no enemy at sea in this world! Since there is no such thing, the empire wants such a huge navy. What is it for? Does it look good?!

His words, one word at a time, poke straight at the heart. Above the palace, everyone was speechless. Only Du Wei kept his face calm, but he couldn't help looking at the Regent's eyes, and suddenly a thought came to his mind ... Isn't he ...

"The prairie wolf isn't annihilated! The Northwest warlord splits, and now there's something wrong in the north! The army is stretched. Supported. But it throws a lot of military spending into the sea every year! Are we all blind!" The regent suddenly called "Hughes! General Hughes! You tell me why you saw the army lack combat effectiveness. You know you want to expand your army! But when you see the navy costing imperial finances, you have nothing to do. As a military minister, you are all Pretend to be deaf ?! Are you Yan Yan faint, or are you selfish? "

This last question can be regarded as heartbreaking. Old Hughes jumped in his heart, but had to take two steps, and said head down, "Yes ... it is old minister faint."

"Dazzling? I don't think you're faint! But you have a selfish mind! Hmm, your military department has always regarded the army as your private property! Great, any military affairs can only be expanded, You ca n’t cut it! You do n’t want redundant troops, that ’s what you ca n’t bear! What ’s this? It ’s food! But the army of this empire is not the food of your army! Already stood up, leaning forward, waiting for the old general Hughes: "Why not talk? Um? Can't tell? Then let me say it!"

Afterwards, Prince Chen breathed a little breath, grinning his teeth and resentfully said: "Last year, someone proposed to withdraw a division of the infantry division of the southern province of Lille, and you strongly oppose it! The year before, the southern coastal area proposed a lack of wood. It is suggested to suspend the shipbuilding plan for this year, and you are strongly opposed !!! Can you tell me why? "

"..." Old Hughes dare not say a word.

Prince Chen suddenly growled and yelled, "I'll tell you why! Huh !!!" It's not easy for our military for so many years, and we have accumulated so many family businesses. You ca n’t just lose it casually !!!! Hughes! Who is talking about the land! Where is the land !! You know it !!!!

Houston was shocked, and then his face changed wildly, and his forehead was instantly covered with sweat. With a splash, the old body fell down on one knee.

"Hum, let me tell you! This is what you said in the military after you dismissed the disarmament plan last year! And this year's shipbuilding plan. You are trying to oppose the delay, even let the Ministry of Finance take it The winter budget was used to make up for the naval shipbuilding hole! As a result !!! This year's snow disaster in the south of the country was because of our financial constraints and we couldn't afford much money to go to the disaster relief !!! The results only let ... "

He probably finally let out the anger in his heart, but was just emotional, but he almost said it. Fortunately, Du Wei coughed in time, and Prince Chen was sober. Only then swallowed the last word that was not said.

However, everyone knows what Chen Zichen did not say!

Mostly "the result was that the temple gave us an embarrassment in preparing for the relief of the disaster."

Probably that's what he meant. Although he didn't say it, everyone understood it.

"You! You regard the empire's army as your army's" family business "! The **** !!! The **** of the empire! You are the general of the empire, not the owner of any shop! You do not need to earn a family business Come and worry about this !!! The army is not the private property of your military department !!! If this army cannot serve the empire and cannot contribute to the empire, then the arbitration shall be cut. The reduction shall be reduced! You are good, dignified The Imperial Minister of Military Affairs has become an old hen who protects the cubs! This one ca n’t be touched, the other ca n’t be touched! Just look at the military expenses and only know your 'family bottom!'

"His Highness ... I ... I ..."

"What are you! Do you want to say that you are faint? Or are you old-fashioned? Or that you are guilty?" Prince Chen became more merciless. Coldly: "Plead guilty in your mouth, I'm afraid to go back to the first thing, to find out who talked to you and leaked it to me? Hum! Hughes. Hughes. That disarmament plan last year Is your first chance! The plan to suspend shipbuilding earlier this year is your second chance! Both opportunities are given to you ... and you ... "

When it comes to the back, the voice gets colder.

Everyone knows that today's matter cannot be better. The Prince Chen was suddenly here. Want to operate on the Secretary of Defense?

During the whole game, he remained calm. I'm afraid only Du Wei and the vague old prime minister.

Although Du Wei was surprised, he was not surprised. He knew that Prince Chen had been dissatisfied with the military for a long time, especially during the coup d'état. As the father of the military's No. 2 boss ... How could any monarch tolerate a military department that did not listen to his orders presence?

But he didn't touch the military at first. It's because the rank is short. After more than one year and two years. Prince Chen has firmly controlled the Royal Forest Army. After rectifying the rebels of the King City Guards after the coup, they penetrated into the King City Guards! The 10,000 soldiers of the Sheriff's Department in the Canadian Metropolitan Police Department are also firmly in control.

This is finally the operation for the big man in the military!

Other people can't figure it out. Obviously today is discussing the reinforcements of the Northern Legion, how suddenly it turned into a spear pointing at the head of the military? Du Wei sighed in his heart ... This prince Chen is really the same style, and he decided to move, without giving you any warning in advance!

But ... Du Wei suddenly looked at the prime minister Rob Scher again. The old man was also calm, and it didn't seem to be surprising.

This old prime minister seems to be half-retired ... not easy!

"Do you have me as the regent in your eyes? No! Is there an empire? No! Is there any honor for the soldiers? No! You only have the military department! Only the military department! In your eyes It is more important to maintain the 'home base' of your military than any major cause of the empire, the overall situation of the empire, and loyalty! Is n’t it?!

After a series of interrogations, Hughes' head almost stuck to the ground. Prince Chen finally sat back in his chair, breathing heavily in his chest. Obviously, what he said just now finally vented his anger for two years.

In the hall, for a while, even the sound of a needle falling to the ground can be heard.

The only thing is that the prince Chen and General Hughes gasped heavily.

No one dares to say one more word at this moment. After a long time, Prince Chen's voice seemed to have calmed down, but it was scary cold ...

"Ziling ..." His voice was low, prolonging his tone, coldly word by word: "Imperial Minister of Military Affairs General Hughes, a horse and a life of loyalty to the Empire. Toiled in honor of his loyalty It also shows that the empire cares for the elders, rewards one hundred gold, ten boxes of Nanyang pearls ... awarded the title of duke for life, the title of court military scholar. The post of military minister is temporarily suspended, etc ... "He said here, Gritted his teeth heavily. Coldly: "Wait until I think about the candidate!"

Old Hughes is like a thunderous sky, kneeling there, his body trembling constantly. At this moment, where is there a little bit of red ears and red ears when fighting with the Minister of Finance? Finally, after a long time, he reluctantly said in a husky voice: "Thank Your Highness for Your Reward ..."

He then stood up staggeringly, as if using great perseverance, he didn't fall. Instead, he walked to his own chair and sat down.

But everyone knows it. The imperial military minister, the military's number one ... his political career has begun from this moment and completely ended!

But it seems more than that!

After the emperor Chen finished finishing the former military number one. But suddenly announced a more surprising decision!

"Robschell, you are the prime minister of the empire. Now that the post of military secretary is vacant, I do n’t have any good candidates now, what about the military ... you have also served in the military. I found a new place to be suitable Before the choice of the Minister of Military Affairs, you will temporarily control the affairs of the military as the prime minister. "

It's uproar! !!

Who would have thought that the old prime minister who had been deemed completely out of favor suddenly turned red? Suddenly was given the power of acting commander of the military command? !!

It is Robescher, but there is no trace of joy on his face, but he seems to sigh softly, and there is a bitter smile in his eyes. Nodded: "Observe, Your Majesty."

There is a smile on the corner of Mrs. Chen ’s mouth: "Your name is wrong, my prime minister, please remember to call my highness in the future, don't make a mistake again!"

Robuszell's face went sullen, and he lowered his head quickly.

"Furthermore, the Northern Storm Corps. Just do what you said. But ... the city defense forces of the imperial capital cannot be relocated. Just move from other divisions, specifically. Go and make a detailed plan. Give it to me, I will see it tomorrow! "

A sudden cough, Robscher said, "His Royal Highness, the old minister has another request."

"Say!"

After a suffocating silence, Prince Chen uttered such a short word.

Robustcher took a deep breath, but smiled on his face: "His Royal Highness, after all, I am old and my military affairs are complicated. I am afraid that I will not be able to do it alone. If I delay military affairs, it will be greatly The ground is not good! Therefore, I want to ask my Highness to be alone and join me in the commanding department to assist me as my assistant. "

"Oh, who do you want?" Prince Chen asked such an understatement.

"The Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, Lord Camisiro, is young and promising, and also has meritorious service. He is even a military person. I think it is most suitable."

Chen Chen looked at the old prime minister up and down, his eyes brightened ...

"Very good!"

The meeting in this court is over. What everyone did not expect was that the military chiefs fell down without warning in this meeting!

The old prime minister, who was already considered to have almost finished his political career, suddenly came back to life! He also received such a great authority to control the military!

As for General Hughes ... no one cares about him anymore.

Politics is so cruel! Although he used to be the Minister of Military Affairs, before the meeting today, he was also the star of the crowd. Everyone came to him to greet him. But now ... he left alone, but others refused to look at him any more ...

Old Robbschell, as soon as he walked out of the hall, was surrounded by several colleagues, and said a few words of congratulations. After the crowd dispersed, I saw the Minister of Finance with a lonely look.

"Munnes, my friend, what's wrong with you?"

The Minister of Finance sighed: "It's nothing, it's just that after arguing with the old guy of Hughes for so many years, suddenly I see him like this, but my heart is a bit empty."

Rob Scher also sighed suddenly and whispered, "My friend, you don't have to be sighed. Don't you understand when you are my age? This is politics!"

"It's just that I didn't expect it. Today was originally to discuss the North ..."

The old prime minister suddenly sneered and pulled the Minister of Finance to the side, walking all the way, whispering all the way: "From the halfway of today's meeting, I expected it. Today, the story of the North is false. The purpose of His Highness is, in fact, It ’s just a topic. It ’s just that I did n’t expect that our young lord, the means is so popular. Hehe ... ”

He shook his head helplessly.

The Minister of Finance suddenly smiled: "I won't congratulate you. Because I know that you are afraid to sit in this position uncomfortable ... Acting for the military affairs, huh, this is a stove."

The wrinkles on Robbiescher's old face seem to be tightly packed like dried orange peels ...

Suddenly, he saw the last Dewey coming out of the hall. The old man's eyes brightened, he let go of the Minister of Finance and walked over: "Prince Tulip."

Du Wei looked up and saw this old man who was inscrutable, and quickly saluted: "Master Prime Minister."

"Prince Tulip, tonight, I am hosting a banquet at home. I would like to invite you to attend. I wonder if you have time to appreciate it?"

Hey?

Du Wei squinted his eyes and glanced at the old guy ...

This old man is almost as old as a gust of wind can blow down, but judging by his performance today, it is hard to dare despise!

"Of course! Lord Prime Minister invites me, where can I dare not go?" Du Weihaha smiled.

The two met each other with a smile, as if they both saw a hint of meaning in each other's eyes.

The Minister of Finance next to him, who was about to leave, was pulled by the old prime minister: "Munness, I hope you will also appreciate it at night."

The Minister of Finance is about to speak. At this moment, the last one who came out of the hall was Camisiro, the commander of the Metropolitan Police Department. As soon as the young man trusted by Prince Chen came out, he immediately saluted the three big brother-level figures and immediately laughed: "Master, thank you for your recommendation today in front of the hall ..."

Robschiel smiled slightly: "Master Camisiro is polite. Even if I don't recommend it, you will be promoted by the regent's trust in you."

A moment's pause, the old prime minister laughed again: "You and I are going to be Commander-in-Chief together. I'm old, and I can only take ideas for many things. Specific things will depend on your young people. Yes, Lord Camisiro, please come to my house for a dinner tonight. I have already said to Grandpa Tulip ... "

Camisiro smiled and gave Du Wei a glance: "Oh, I do n’t dare to say no to the Prime Minister's invitation. Besides, Grandpa Tulip has gone, why can't I go?"

Du Wei understood. It was just a downright deal just now.

Although it is nominally the old prime minister's temporary military service, in fact ... I am afraid that this Camisiro is the real protagonist!

The regent gave Robscher a signal "You are still useful, I will not abolish you now."

Robustcher immediately reciprocated. He knew that the regent wanted to plant himself in the military, especially Camisiro, who was in the heart of the regent. So, before the Regent himself said it, he simply became a good friend.

Politics ... Politics ...

Du Wei smiled on her face, but sighed in her heart.

As for General Hughes's lonely and old back ... who will remember?
