Power and Empire Chapter 1306: The Battle of Dongjin (2)
Illlue fell, which caused a strong shock in several countries near Normandy. Although everyone has a happy attitude towards the decline of the regional boss, Normandy, the rate of decline is too impressive. The surprise was overwhelming.
From the landing of the Salander expeditionary force, to the defeat of the main Norman force, the fall of Kyoto, and finally even the only barrier, the Illu Fortress, was also arduously resisted by the Queen of Heaven. The Falcon Empire’s fierce offensive, All neighboring countries have to face up to one problem, that is, the Normans, the strongest in the region, were wiped out by an inexplicable country in just a few months.
If someone predicted this way before, he would definitely be regarded as a neuropathy,
Normandy has tens of thousands of troops in the northwest region. The combat is sturdy and fierce. Several generals are independent and ruthless. Such military strength may not be a big deal in the Gaul Empire, but Normandy is in Fujian. In these countries, the Principality of Romana has only about 10,000 troops, the Principality of Dunkirk has about 10,000 troops, the Principality of Nista has 10,000 troops, and the Dominion of San Lorenzo has 10,000 troops. The strength of the Normans is already obvious, although the Normans In Salander, we lost the elite of Wando, and the local forces left behind are also numerous. Except for the Principality of Dunkirk, several other countries have no provocative strength.
is such a military force. With the advantage of local warfare, it was wiped out in just a few months. The shock of each country can be imagined,
The order to dispatch troops from the Gaul Empire was sent to the hands of various countries half a month ago, but no one wanted to take it first. These mysterious enemies are coming fiercely, causing a **** storm in the Normandy region. Now they are going to save Normandy. People don’t have the slightest benefit for themselves,
It’s a cruel winter. All countries are facing various food crises, large or small. They mobilize troops to fight in Normandy. It’s hard to say nothing. According to the decree of the empire, the aided troops must also solve the food problem by themselves. For many countries, this is tantamount to worsening the situation. Even if the enemies are driven out of Normandy through untold hardships, these newly restored areas are also Normandy
Everyone is watching. I want to wait until the last moment of exhaustion between the Normans and the Salanders before sending troops. Only then can the benefits be maximized and at least the Normans can be hit hard, but who is it? Unexpectedly, the Normans were defeated, and the defeat was so fast that many kingdoms were caught off guard,
Just when Illu was captured, the Romana Principality and the Dunkirk Principality to the north of Salander just reached an agreement to send troops together in the Royal Palace of the Romana Principality, and they secretly agreed to follow Alamein as the line Normandy is divided into two parts, north and south, and is annexed,
After hearing the news of the fall of Illu, the princes of the two principalities unanimously stopped the name that was about to be signed, and stood up from their seats with his eyes bright. Normandy is dead, now the piece of Normandy Regions, for the empire, are no owners in name. Whoever has the ability to get it belongs to him! It’s a fool to still spend time here now. In the face of large enough interests, no cowardly can quickly become a warrior
That afternoon, the Principality of Romana, who couldn’t wait, ordered its five thousand frontier guards to cross the border of Normandy. The 10,000 troops of the Principality of Dunkirk crossed the Porico Mountains on the border at the same time. The two armies were extremely There was a tacit understanding of each other's horns. In the southeast of Normandy, the ten thousand troops of the Principality of Nista quickly seized the formerly disputed Landeno border area with Normandy. In the southwest, even the Dominion of San Lorenzo, the weakest in total strength , And did not hesitate to occupy several border towns that originally belonged to the Normans,
For the troops of various countries that have begun to operate on the border, the Falcon Army that has occupied the central and southern parts of Normandy quickly contracted the original proliferation front. Instead of immediately launching a counterattack, it accidentally abandoned some insignificant areas. ,
Statunko ordered Posti’s expeditionary force to be armed with Normandy and Kyoto as the center of gravity, to hold the enemy from both the southeast and southwest. The main force of the southern army held the direction of Illu and faced each other. Under the strong attack of the Duchy of Dunkirk and the Duchy of Romana, for a time, the wind-swept northwest coast unexpectedly became the focus of a new battle for hegemony.
The carriage traveled along the wide cobblestone streets. The escaped Grand Duke of Normandy Cavy Bod opened the carriage’s curtains and stared bloodshot on a huge white fountain flowerbed in the center of the city street. , The bustling streets, the carriages going around, and the children running happily on the side of the road all made the northwestern king who was not as good as a chicken feel a deep helplessness,
This used to be the sight I wanted to bring to Normandy, but now I can only admire all of this on the land of another country. The carriage drove into a wide and richly decorated manor at the end of the street,
The huge white marble building with a width of one hundred meters is set against the blue sky and clear water like a fairy tale. The whole building is miraculously built on a huge artificial lake. It is only reached by the sloping stairs leading to the gate. After 30 meters, there is an expensive and luxurious red carpet in the middle. On both sides of the promenade are hundreds of evergreen pine trees that are also blue in winter. In the center flowerbed of the huge steps, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants dotted with clusters of flowers.
An unnamed purple flower that can’t even be named, in the dry and cold winter, on the surface of the lake, a huge sea of dazzling flowers is formed. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, no one can believe it. At this moment It is already a harsh winter, not a playful spring
At this moment, the area he is in is called Biond County. It is an autonomous trading city in the northwest of Normandy. Biond County is a neutral city sandwiched between several northwestern coastal forces.
The background of its deep hòu is an important reason why Cavybod chose this place as a place of exile. This is the private feudal lord of the imperial finance minister Prescott. The so-called private feudal is actually the nobles of the empire. In land outside the empire,
Because they are not native to the empire, these private feudal fiefs do not need to pay taxes to the empire. The status of these private feudal fiefs is like a piece of private land cultivated by the empire’s giants themselves, and some people build them as military fortresses. Some people use it as a trading city, because they are located in various parts of the empire, and private towns can provide a variety of local specialties to their families in Kyoto. This is also an important indicator of the status of the empire’s wealthy family.
For example, the owner of this city, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, Prescott, has as many as ⒕ in the entire empire, and the total area is even larger than Normandy. Although there is no kingdom name, it has the reality of a kingdom. ,
Such cases are not uncommon within the empire. For example, Secretary of State Miriam has private vassals, Secretary of the Interior Webster owns 12 private vassals, and Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire Horkels has the most, with 23. It is said that the private affiliations of this old-fashioned military minister are camps and fortresses used to train soldiers. Therefore, the private armed forces of the Horkos family are known as the number one in the empire, and there are tens of thousands of people. People are comparable to a medium-sized kingdom.
The construction of this county town of Biond was entirely at the expense of Prescott, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, and used more than ten million gold coins. The entire city occupies an area of more than 20 miles. The edge of the city flows slowly. If the goods are transported from here to the ship, it only takes half a day to reach the northeastern estuary of the mainland, and if you enter the inland of the empire from here, it only takes a day to reach the empire. Alexandra, the first border town
The carriage stopped in front of the huge white marble steps, and a serious-looking waiter in a black dress opened the door of the carriage that stopped the carriage. The Grand Duke of Normandy, Cavy Bod, escaped in the chaos, Walking out of the carriage with a complicated look, he raised his head and glanced at the huge building in front of him, took a deep breath, and asked, "Is Lord Prescott here?"
"My host is meeting with guests from the Empire, and I will be able to meet the Lord Duke in a while." The waiter hesitated on his face. It was obvious that he knew Cavy Bod, and he responded with extreme caution
"Guest of the Empire?" Cavy Bod's haggard face showed a hint of surprise. He took out a gold-colored greeting card from his cuff and handed it over. "Can you take the liberty to ask, is it a guest of that house?"
"This..." The waiter showed an embarrassed look on his face
Kavibold took out a small bag of heavy gold coins from his pocket and handed it to the waiter in front of him, saying, "It must be very hard to stand here all day~ IndoMTL.com~ Working hard and responsible. People deserve the respect they deserve!"
" This is so polite! "The waiter took the bag with his hands, and said with a short smile" "Yes, I just arrived last night!" , A person from the Julius family in Kyoto, although he may not seem very old, he seems to be a very thoughtful person"
The waiter’s voice stopped and looked around, and found that no one was cautiously saying, "My master said that if the Lord Duke can impress him, or if there is a chance to return to the country, it might be possible."
"It turned out to be the Julius family that hasn't moved for five years!"
A trace of horror flashed across Cavybod’s face. As one of the three great clans of the empire, the Julius family was terrifying in its own strength. Among the ten commanders of the empire, the Julius family accounted for two. ,
, which is responsible for the strategy of the northwest region, is the Fifth Reich Army of Lord Julier Fort of the Julius family,
It’s no wonder that even the owner of this house would say something like this,
According to the military system of the empire, a corps has a strength of 100,000 troops, and the Julius family has held the post of chief in charge of Northwest affairs in the empire for more than fifteen years.
As far as influence is concerned, just revealing a word to the outside will still shake the wind direction of the entire northwest, (to be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@偶氏尊尊] If you like this Works, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
