Power and Empire: 3,826 Will and Ambition (21)
Rookhill showed a look of astonishment on his face when he heard Jokes’ words, and then he showed a touch of contemplation, asking, “It’s certain that the imperial army will launch an offensive before November, and the generals are The interests of the people are unwilling to withdraw from the major oasis, so the only thing that Lord Ig Woods can directly order now is my intelligence system and your Eighth Army...Speaking of which, Rookhill His voice paused, and solemnly said, "Master Ig Woods hopes that you and I will set an example. First, follow the order to withdraw the personnel? "
"Yes, Lord Igwood really meant this. As long as my Eighth Army evacuates first and your intelligence station personnel are also evacuated, Lord Igwood can request other legions to withdraw within a limited time. Possini Oasis"
Jokes smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth. Both he and Rookhill were sent from the capital. They knew far more intelligence than other generals. At least they knew that the empire had invaded the southern Gulf of Aden on a large scale. The navy A squadron was destroyed, and the army also suffered tens of thousands of casualties. The empire was coming this time fiercely. Out of the passiveness of avoiding two-line combat, Igwoods made the right decision to abandon the first line of the Great Oasis. It’s worth noting that the Gulf of Aden won’t suffer from the enemy’s back and forth. However, the other generals of Aden have a different view. The Oasis Garrison is a separate faction in the Aden Army.
Leaving the original area and stationing in the desert with harsh environment can be regarded as hard work. If you are lucky, you will be transferred in two or three years. If you are lucky, it is normal to not move for seven or eight years.
In this case, the generals of the Grand Oasis garrison hug each other to keep warm. Some have been stationed in the Grand Oasis for four to five years, and the shortest is two to three years. They have already stood with the former military chief Samsien. Although Samsien’s talents are average, he treats the garrison management very loosely. As long as he is not treason, he basically doesn’t bother too much. According to Samsien’s own words, “Everyone in the Oasis is suffering. Why embarrass each other? Although the environment of the Great Oasis is bad and there is nothing to do, there is at least one thing, that is, great autonomy. After all, the Great Oasis is only a vassal of the Kingdom of Aden, not the hinterland of the Gulf of Aden. The Aden Army discipline is not suitable for this. Piece of land"
There are senior officials like Sam Sien, the following situation can be imagined
In the Great Oasis, the Aden garrison officer groups ate empty salaries, participated in the smuggling of slaves, and even pretended to be sand robs. If they were placed in the hinterland of the Gulf of Aden, ten executions would be enough, but in the Great Oasis, nothing happened. For the Kingdom of Aden, as long as there is no turmoil in the Great Oasis, as for the actions of the garrison, who will take care of it. Anyway, it is not the area of the Kingdom of Aden. The Great Oasis is just a perimeter barrier in the Gulf of Aden, penalizing the existing The officer of the United States, who would like to go to the Great Oasis to fill this pit, but the arrival of Igwood broke this tacit understanding, and suddenly a person from the royal capital came to take care of himself, even if that person is the former Kingdom Marshal Lord Igwood, and also a When he arrives, he immediately asks everyone to abandon their existing interests and withdraw from the major oases. What is the difference between directly cutting the flesh of these generals!
"Master Igwood is here!"
"Master Samsian is here!"
Just as the two were talking in low voices, the guard standing at the door shouted, everyone stopped talking, looked at the door, and saw a gray-haired, increasingly stubborn Igwood walking into the hall from the door. , Following Ig Woods, it was Samsien, the head of the garrison. The two of them looked tense. They walked in one after the other, wearing the uniforms of the generals of the Kingdom of Aden. One was the former marshal of the kingdom, the famous The military god, one is the chief of the military affairs of the Oasis with a 100,000 garrison in hand. Both of them have a straight face. It seems that the exchanges between the two sides are very unpleasant. The generals are also drumming in their hearts, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly becomes heavy
Ig Woods and Sam Sion sat down at the left and right ends of the long conference table in the lobby. Ig Woods is the king’s special envoy and is solely responsible for the military and political affairs of the Oasis, so he sits in the first place on the left. Msian is the head of the kingdom’s military. Although Igwood holds the military and political power, Samsian’s voice is still the first place in the military, so he sits at the first place on the right, which is almost side by side with Igwood.
The guard at the door drew the door of the heavy conference hall closed. Igwood glanced over the other generals and waved to them, "Sit down"
The generals of Aden seemed to have negotiated. They all walked to the right side of the bench and sat down. The left side closest to Igwood became more and more empty.
Rookhill and Jokes hesitated, and chose to sit in the left seat of Ig Woods. They just kept two seats away from the other Aden generals, two people alone, and a dozen people opposite. It can be seen that this was deliberately arranged, and it was also the attitude that other generals showed to Iggwoods. Samsien saw that most of the generals were on his side, with a touch of relief on his face, compared to supporting himself. There are more than a dozen generals of Aden. There are only two people sitting on the side of Igwood. There are only two of Rookhill and Jokes. There is no harm if there is no comparison. Even if you are the former marshal of the kingdom, Igwood is a famous army. God, but this is the human heart! Samsean smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Ig Woods opened the folder in his hand, indicating that the meeting started. Ig Woods took out an order from the folder and read it in a heavy voice. It was a withdrawal order to be issued. In the order, Ig Woods In particular, it is not his own idea to give up the big oasis, but for the safety of the entire kingdom. This is a strategy designated by the kingdom and cannot be changed!
"Even if it is the strategy of the kingdom, it can't help but give people a way to survive"
The generals didn’t say anything, they just looked at Samsien who was sitting first on the right with faint eyes. This silent atmosphere made Samsien in full view with his right hand covering his mouth and a dry cough. With a loud voice, it seemed as if I had thought about it many times, and his voice slowly said, "Ahem, although this evacuation from the Oasis is a strategic need of the kingdom, as a soldier of the kingdom, I should follow the order, but so recklessly. Asking everyone to withdraw in just a few days is too ridiculous for everyone. The withdrawal of a hundred thousand troops will never be impossible in a month, and how can the army retreat is a child's play? This is a big desert and not a flat ground. Drive into the desert at will. Once an accident happens and the army gets stuck in the desert, that’s a terrible thing."
"I don’t question the military literacy and command ability of Lord Igwood, and I have always admired Lord Igwood, but as a six-year Aden veteran stationed in the Great Desert, I am determined Oppose the absurd decision to require everyone to withdraw in just ten days, let alone bring back the population of all the major oases. This is simply..."
Samsian’s voice stopped, his expression was like swallowing a fly alive with anger, and the more he spoke, the more agitated, how can people who have only been here for more than ten days know the terrible nature of the desert? Putting the army hurriedly in the desert, such an irresponsible approach, is not worthy of being a commander! Of course
The other Aden generals are also angry.
"What, how could it be?" Some generals rubbed their ears, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
"Not only do we want to come back, but we must also bring back the populations of the major oases. How did this crazy decision come about!" Someone said in a low voice angrily. Although not too big, it definitely makes people Hear clearly
Samsien’s words are like a boulder smashing into an otherwise unstable lake. The generals of the Aden garrison want to vomit blood. They have already known in advance that they will give up the orders of the major oasis, and they are already preparing. However, according to their thinking, before the army retreats, it must be to ruin the major oases. As for the indigenous people on the major oasis, do they have anything to do with them? All stay in the big oasis to fend for themselves, why take away these natives?
Even Jokes sitting on the side of Igwoods was stupid. He took away the natives of the major oasis. What do you think of Lord Igwood? The eighth army garrison of Jokes is Slam. Oasis, where is the base camp of 200,000 desert tribes, Jokes could not help flashing through the burning yellow sand in his mind. The 30,000 Eighth Army faced the 200,000 angry desert tribes, and the body couldn't help but tremble slightly. After a while, it's impossible to do it, Lord Igwood, I will be cheated to death by you!
"If we do not bring back the population of the Oasis, then we will use the abandoned Oasis to block the empire's ambitions. Therefore, the population of the Oasis must also be brought back. It must not be left to the Empire. He seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at the generals calmly. He was so familiar with the thoughts of these generals. Anyhow, he had been stationed on the border for more than ten years and wanted to work. What if there is no benefit
Since Ig Woods dared to make such a plan, he naturally has enough capital. His capital is the population of these large oasis. In fact, for the Kingdom of Aden, it does not make much sense, and even adds four to five million to eat. The mouth of Aden is a burden. The Kingdom of Aden will be promoted to the Empire of Aden. Everyone else is desperately offering good things. How could Igwood offer a big burden? Igwood’s voice paused before continuing to say "I know this." It’s a difficult thing for you, but I can promise you that I, Igwoods, will not move any of the population and property I brought back, and these will be counted as your trophies."
"Trophy!" The generals of Aden were excited and took a breath.
"If this is the case, this decision is not impossible to consider." The generals of Aden, who were complaining and complaining, suddenly fell silent.
"Because of the ban on trade in the Great Oasis, it is said that the price of slaves in the royal capital has risen by more than one-fifth. If these hundreds of thousands of slaves are transported...and their belongings!" Samsien showed a rare look of thinking. He recalled it carefully, and immediately found that he had been fooled by Igwood. The old fox deliberately told him about the order to withdraw troops, but he did not mention the population of these large oasis. I naturally thought that I was placed in a large oasis near the Kingdom of Aden, so I jumped out, but I didn’t expect that the old fox would have his army backhanded
Egg Woods is equal to nothing, he can easily take the command of the 100,000 Aden garrison from his own hands! Everyone comes to the ghost place of the Great Oasis to beg for money, whoever can make the generals full of money, the generals will listen to them! What a huge wealth these hundreds of thousands of Oasis people are, not that they have not thought about it, but that they dare not think about it at all! This is simply crazy!
Samsien's mouth was bitter, and he treated the entire population of the Oasis as a slave trade. This has exceeded his limit of thinking. This is the population of the entire Oasis. He is stationed in the Oasis. In six or seven years, I have never had such an idea. Ig Woods has only been here for more than a dozen days, and he has already played such an abacus. It really deserves to be the former Kingdom Marshal Ig Woods. This hand is really amazing! The total population of the entire Oasis was 1.1 million two years ago, but due to the invasion of the Erot Empire Army, the population dropped to only 800,000. Although the population was reduced by a quarter, it was still a few dozen. Thousands of people, if they were all treated as slave trades, it would be no less than the profit and income of a medium-sized kingdom. Not to mention, the wealth of these hundreds of thousands of desert people, as well as the wealth of thirteen major oasis monarchs, would increase in size. It seems that there is no three or four million imperial gold, this transaction is worth doing!
"Master Igwood~IndoMTL.com~If this incident spreads out, it will be a good reputation for my Aden..." General Aden also kept sober, cautiously amidst the enthusiasm of his colleagues. 'S hesitant to speak again
"Rookhill, take out what you got!" Iggwoods was prepared for this question. He waved his hand at Rookhill, and Rookhill knew from himself. The document package took out the agreement of the thirteen major oasis princes to return to Aden, and placed them on the table of the conference hall director under the curious eyes of everyone.
"This is the agreement that was just signed this morning. From the moment of signing, the 13 Oasis has been merged into the Kingdom of Aden. Therefore, the affairs of the Oasis are only the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Aden. We only need to do it afterwards. It means that the thirteen oasis monarchs are trying to rebel, and I will wait for the garrison to be ordered to suppress the rebellion.” Igwood's sharp gaze swept the generals’ faces, and the generals of Aden he saw all subconsciously straightened their waists. At this time, I can’t let Igwood take it lightly. I made this, enough to eat more than ten years later. "If you don’t have any opinions, I will start reading out the battle plan. This battle plan is called Will and Ambition. I believe As long as our will is strong enough, there will be no problem with this plan!"
