Law of the Devil Chapter 624: [Cooperate with each other]
Chapter 624 [Cooperate with each other]
In the palace hall of the Royal Palace, the powerful men of the imperial capital are whispering to each other. Just now His Royal Highness announced the latest battle report: The content is exciting and exciting.
Only, when the prince Chen glanced at everyone with smiley eyes after reading, everyone, everyone, would be ostriches one by one, and they would just sit in their seats and talk to each other quietly. As if all were marveling at the content of the battle report, but no one spoke openly.
Prince Chen smiled. He knew what these people were doing.
"The Duke of Tulips presided over the victory of the Eastern Front, wiped out more than 40,000 enemies, and recaptured the occupied Eastern Fortress in one fell swoop. This battle was not only for the Empire to restore the stigma and embarrassment of the former Fortress's collapse, but also for the Empire south of the Fort A large territory in the inner abdomen has lifted the crisis. Moreover, such a victory is also the biggest victory we have achieved against these enemies since the beginning of this war. "
Speaking of these words, the emperor Chen finally set the tone for this victory.
Everyone who is still pretending to talk in a low voice, finally feel relieved.
Okay, the big boss spoke. Since Prince Chen said that this was a great victory and significant ... then this is qualitative!
Speaking of which, if it was that year, such a victory was related to the popular Duke of Tulips. The news was revealed, and naturally everyone was busy and praised. Because at that time everyone knew that Prince Chen had a great trust in Dewey, and the Tulip family was almost the pillar of the empire he had held up. At that time, everyone was willing to do the icing on the cake.
But now ... the situation is different.
The relationship between the tulip family and the royal family has become increasingly ambiguous, talking about harmony and disagreement. In this case. Who dares to talk nonsense? God knows in the heart of Prince Chen what attitude towards the Tulip family.
Let's talk about this victory. Victory is victory, but no one dared to say anything of praise first. If Prince Victoria feels uneasy in Du Wei's heart, and you openly applaud Du Wei, then it will be greatly inconvenient.
Seeing that the prince Chen started to applaud, then the following talents quickly applauded.
For a time, the hall was full of joy and joy.
But then, these words of praise always come to an end. The scene suddenly fell into a subtle silence ...
Now that you have won the battle and made great achievements, then, logically, the reward is the reward.
However, others are okay to say, how can I give Du Wei a reward? ?
Give money? Do not make jokes. The Duke of Tulips is already recognized as the richest man in the Empire! Even the Liszt family has become an affiliate of the Tulip family, and the arms dealer Delan Mountain Warcraft has long been out of favor.
Promotion? Du Wei's current official titles include: Admiral of the Empire, coach of the Eastern Front of the theater. Holds command of the 200,000 Imperial Regular Army.
Going up again? How to rise? Make him the commander in chief of the theater? Aside from that, where is General Rostock? What's more ... with the ghost relationship between the tulip family and the royal family now, let Du Wei take command of the northern empire of the present empire. Almost the military power of the most elite troops in the empire?
Who dares to say this kind of advice? !! court death!
So, Shengjue?
Dewey's title is already duke! The Duke, in theory, is already the best knighthood that a courtier can get. Further up is the Prince level. The problem is, unless it is a direct line to the royal family. It is impossible to seal the prince.
It's troublesome, not money, no promotion, no promotion!
So how do you reward?
Some people can't help but think of a word that makes people tremble:
Gong Gao overlord, there is no reward!
None of you here are idiots, at least they have been soaked in the large dyeing tank of Erhai Lake for half of their lives. None of them are not old churros, even young men like Camisiro. In the past two years, it has also been gradually infiltrated by the old prime minister Robescher, and it has gradually evolved into a small fox.
Everyone witnessed the whole process of Dewey's rise.
Speaking carefully, the young Duke of Tulips, after his emergence, has really contributed to the empire ...
Brilliant!
The amazing performance of the Coup Day can only be said to have achieved his personal reputation and established an intimate and personal relationship with the Regent himself. But his contribution to the empire was probably since the Augustinian dynasty. No courtier can match it!
First came up with the "magic sharing spirit". Participated in the establishment of the Empire Magic Academy, breaking the magic union's monopoly on magic in one fell swoop. The Empire official and the magic union have been secretly fighting for many years. The magic union is tough. Even the royal family has a headache.
With the establishment of the Magic Academy and the establishment of the Magic Society, the magic sharing spirit has been developed, and the magic union no longer occupies a monopoly position in the magic field.
The empire has a way to train its own magic talents. Although in this war, the empire's own magic talents have not shown much effect, it is because the time is too short after all. It has only been a few years since the establishment of the Academy of Magic, and even the earliest first batch of students, they have only learned magic for a few years, and they have not been able to reach a relatively deep level.
But I believe that as time goes on, the role of the School of Magic will become more prominent.
After Dewey went to the northwest, the defending battle of Giliat City succeeded in defeating the prairie people. With Dewey sitting in the northwest, the threat of the prairie people to the empire was greatly reduced, even now in the high-level empire Some people also knew faintly that Du Wei intervened in the situation on the grassland and secretly operated. In exchange for the current situation of prairie people, unable to look east.
And ... to annihilate the war of rebellion against the Northwest Army. In that battle, the Tulip family made their first contribution!
And ... the groundbreaking Air Force was created in one hand!
And ... In the three years of preparing for the war, Du Wei paid out of his own pocket and donated at least 50 million gold coins. Support Empire Finance and Military Expenses!
As for the small contributions of other places, they have not been listed yet!
Now, such a huge military achievement has been established on the eastern front ...
Now?
Reward or not, this is a problem.
How to reward, this is a difficult problem!
The silence of the crowd made the hall once again caught in a strange atmosphere.
Finally, Camisiro coughed and spoke at this time. The crowd immediately cast their eyes on the young military minister. Everyone knows that, in addition to being a close relationship favored by the Regent King, this Camisiro also has the old prime minister standing behind him.
"His Royal Highness." Camisiroti's voice was very clear, his voice was calm, and he calmly said, "I think it is gratifying for Lord Tulip to defeat the enemy on the eastern front, but now we have not reached the point where we can really rest easy According to what I have read, the detailed report submitted to the military headquarters, although we conquered the fortress. However, because of the previous destruction and demolition of the fortress by the enemy forces and the fire attack method adopted by Lord Duke Tulip during this war .As a result, although we recaptured the fortress, the hand we got was just a ruin. "
Speaking of this, he quickly added: "Of course. I absolutely have no negative meaning to the Lord Duke Tulip! Just as a military minister, from a purely military perspective, the current priority is to Refining our eastern defense system! It is urgent. Now we are faced with two choices! "
Prince Chen's eyes lit up: "Say on."
"First." Camisiro opened his voice, and in the wide hall, his confident voice wandered: "Because the fortress has become a ruin, without any value and role of garrison, it cannot be effective. The defensive role of the Eastern Front is probably to retreat to Yajin City. We must mobilize more materials and manpower as soon as possible to further strengthen and expand Yajin City! Make it a new and stable military base on the Eastern Front. This is an option The advantage is: Yajin City is the current city, as long as it is reinforced and expanded, whether it is time or cost and manpower. There is no need to invest too much. But the disadvantage is: After all, Yajin City is behind the scenes, once our army returns to Yakin , It is equivalent to giving up control of the territory north of Yakin City. Moreover, Yakin City ’s defensiveness lacks the overall effect and can only be regarded as a stronghold. In theory, the enemy can bypass Yakin City to our internal Although the possibility of harassment or sneak attack on the abdominal territory is not high, after all, the enemy we face is not human, but some monster races. We cannot justify The way the human mind to measure them. "
Everyone nodded.
Especially thinking of those brutal races. Bypassing the frontline strongholds, the troops ran to the inner and inner lands of the Empire to harass or sneak attack ...
Even. In theory, as long as the other party dares to fight for losses and send a large number of highly mobile wolf cavalry to carry out raids, they may even flow around the Imperial City!
This is definitely not alarmist. If the opponent loses thousands of wolf riders and flees to the interior of the empire, and does not seek strategic goals, but just blindly burns and plunders ... God knows if those barbarous races will make it.
Although this kind of thing may not cause real damage to the imperial capital or empire, once it happens, whether it is the turmoil of the people ’s hearts, or the empire ’s face and dignity, the royal family will never allow such things Consequences! !!
It can be imagined that if a wolf cavalry suddenly drifts out of the city of the imperial capital one day in the future and burns and plunders, even if it is finally surrounded by the empire's mobilized army ... but once that happens, that How much panic and civil unrest will result? !! If this happened, it would be an absolute shame for the Empire!
"The second option." Camisiro coughed and smiled bitterly: "We have to rebuild this eastern fortress that we captured. Because of its geographical location, it is the best for strategic defense! But The problem is that this fortress has almost become a ruin, the destruction of the enemy and the burning of the fire, and according to the detailed battle report I saw, especially the northern wall is particularly damaged, and it was almost demolished by the opponent more than half! It was burned in a fire. It will not shake the foundation of the building, but it is not easy to rebuild. "
Suddenly, he laughed bitterly: "What's more, the enemy is now on the north bank of the river. Also, we have lost control of the river! The enemy has control of the river. Once we rebuild the fortress, we can imagine Yes, even if the enemy is stupid again, they won't let us finish this thing smoothly. They will harass and counterattack! Without the river, our defense lacks layers, the enemy can cross the river and directly attack the fort we are rebuilding ... ... while working, someone is constantly making troubles next to it. I just think about this kind of reconstruction, and I will feel scalp numb. "
He talked. At the end of the day, everyone in the hall was silent. For a while, the crows and birds were silent, looking at Prince Chen one by one.
The emperor Chen sitting on the throne has no other expression on his face. Seemingly calm, he groaned for a moment, and then said gently: "This matter is discussed in detail ... Today is the case. Camisiro stayed, everyone else is scattered."
Except for Camisiro. When the other big brothers left the ground, Wu Zi still talked while walking.
It's just the Minister of Finance. The old man said nothing today. After leaving the hall, he turned around unconsciously and glanced at the hall behind him. He saw the figure of Camisillo who was still in the hall and couldn't help it. Frown slightly.
There is a nice colleague with him next to him, as he stops. He just smiled casually: "Why, lost something?"
The Minister of Finance smiled and shook his head: "I was just thinking that the cooperation between our Minister of Military Affairs and the Regent is getting better and better.
"How do you say?" The fellow eyes brightened.
The Minister of Finance shook his head, smiled unpredictably, and left.
Hum ... Camissillo. You are interrupted. What a deliberate "two choices" problem is thrown out with this tricky thing. Attracted everyone's attention, but cleverly shifted the topic!
The original topic was "The frontline wins, how to reward". After Camisiro finished speaking, it became "frontline crisis, how to solve it."
Of course, some old foxes can't see this little trick, but they just keep silent silently. And most importantly, it seems that the Regent is very cooperative.
In Prince Chen's study, Camisiro presented a detailed battle report from his arms. This report is much more detailed than the one read by Prince Chen at the meeting. It includes all the details of the battlefield, the war, stalemate, the final victory, etc. The level of detail is almost a broadcast of a text.
Obviously, in addition to the official official channels, in the military of the northern theater, there are also channels of information transmission of the military ’s own internal secret system.
"What do you think of the new army that Du Wei got out?" Prince Chen sat back in his seat: "That griffin knight?"
Camesilo is speechless.
Prince Chen smiled first, but the smile was not easy, and his voice was filled with emotion: "This Dewey is always amazing! He is like a magician, he takes it out of his hat. A rabbit came out, and God knew what was hidden in his hat. "
"His Royal Highness." Camisiro reminded carefully: "Dou Wei is a magician himself."
"Well, I know." Prince Chen nodded his head, groaned a bit, and looked up when he looked up: "Griffin knight for the time being, we have estimated that this kind of unit is expensive and scarce. It may be formed on a large scale. It is his Thunder Rider ... This cavalry that has always been hidden by Dewey, and the fighting power that erupted, really surprised me. "
Thousands of thunder rides. In the field, they charge forward and beat the orcs to lose their helmets and remove their armor. This is absolutely impossible for any human army before!
"Your Highness, you are worried ..." Camisiro said carefully for a while.
"No, I'm just curious." The regent smiled suddenly, and his smile was calm: "Shouldn't I be curious? Du Wei's men have too much power that I don't know. As the lord of the empire, it would be strange if I showed no interest at all. "
Looking at the regent's calm smile and handsome face, the smile was as elegant as ever, his eyes were wise, and he exuded a kind of self-confidence.
Camisilo sighed in his heart, but made a panic on his face, and quickly bowed his head, "His Royal Highness, I didn't mean that. I mean ... I need to understand it fully! I can't guess it yet How such a strange cavalry was formed. Some experts on war horses in the military department have also studied for many days and have never figured out how this strange giant war horse was made ... "
"The court magician is also unclear." Prince Chen smiled: "But the only thing that is certain is that unlike the Gryphon knight ... this kind of thunder ride, as a powerful combat force, it is Can be formed in large numbers !!! This is what attracts me. "
Camesilo gritted his teeth: "Maybe ... we can find a way to look in the northwest ..."
"No need." Prince Chen immediately shook his head and rejected the suggestion, but he deliberately took a deep look at Camisiro: "Are you a bit slow-headed? Actually say such a suggestion. Du Wei The secrecy measures have been well done, and the Northwest has already become his home base, with deep roots. We have no news before, so if you deliberately check it now, do you think you can hide it? Besides, do Wouldn't such things make people chill? "
Camisiro nodded again and again and again: "Yes, Your Highness! I was wrong for a moment."
Prince Chen stared at this line carefully for a while, his eyes flashed a deep light, and then the light converged, reverting to a relaxed and calm smile: "Actually, you don't need to take this matter too seriously. I ’m just curious. After all, this kind of amazingly powerful Thunder Rider really surprises me ... if such a powerful army empire can be formed in large numbers ... "
He shook his head again and glanced at Camisiro again: "You don't have to doubt Dovey. From what I know about Dovey ... He is willing to show such a card openly, On the contrary, it is a good thing. Imagine that if the country is in trouble, he will not take out such a powerful army with hiding ... Then this army is not used to deal with the orcs, who is it used against? "
The last sentence was kind of heart-wrenching. When Camisiro heard it, he suddenly sweated! !!
Yes! The establishment of the army is used to fight! If Dewey doesn't show up against the orcs this time, but hides ... who does he want to use with such a powerful army? !!
To ... the Empire? Royal?
Camisilo stops himself from thinking about it!
"He is willing to take it out, and is also sending a message to us in disguise: he has no selfishness."
Looking at Prince Chen so easily and calmly, Camisiro closed his mouth and was silent.
Later, Prince Chen explained a few things at will, and let Camisiro leave the detailed battle report before ordering him to leave.
After Camisiro left, after the door of the study was closed, Prince Chen leaned on the chair, but sighed deeply. The self-confidence and calmness just now turned into a slight worry!
"Indicating that you have no selfishness ... this is of course your intention, Du Wei ..." Prince Chen smirked, but said to himself: "But there is another intention, to demonstrate to me ... Just look at your strength? Is that so? "
Prince Chen squeezed his forehead.
Du Wei, in the end, do you know about my condition?
You know? do not know? Still know what to pretend?
