Power and Empire Chapter 1612: Inheritance of battle (5)


In the corridors of the Gaul Palace, outside the brightly lit Imperial Front Meeting room, more and more people gathered. The important ministers of all parties began to gather together by default according to their identities and camps, which is the epitome of all the forces in these empires. In the movie, Murphy Obern and Julius Faubourg, two standing figures, one old and one young, were unexpectedly dúlì by everyone. In the eyes of everyone, these two people are the same kind of people, both of them It's a sonorous military man who doesn't understand politics! The two stood together and talked, but rarely seemed peaceful,

One is because of the retreat from the eastern battlefield and one of the main reasons that led to the final defeat of the eastern battle, the other is that it has been determined that it is destined to fall, even if it is struggling, it is at most dìdū tyrants who blistered. The two people now have the same thing in everyone’s eyes.

The person in charge of the Southwest District, who is also in trouble and the whirlpool of discussions, was sent by the Emperor to clean up the mess. As long as the crisis is over, he will be immediately withdrawn and vacated. The candidate for the Northwest General will be here this time. The royal meeting decided that next time, it should be the candidate of the Southwest Chief, right?

"Is this thing already known to everyone, or am I the last one to know?" Julius Faubourg took a deep breath before he calmed the anger on his face, he knew , There must be a lot of people waiting to see their own jokes, these boring guys, I am afraid that they want to see their own jokes not a day or two!

In the celebration of the first year of the emperor’s ascension, it is estimated that most of the elements were used to flatter the emperor. No matter who the chief of the Northwest will end up in this position, it will be destined to run the Northwest for decades. The Julius family completely left the circle of the imperial tycoons,

"In fact, they are almost the same, I only found out ten days ago! I wanted to stop, but I ran back hard, my buttocks were swollen, and when I arrived at dìdū, the emperor's treatment was rejected by His Majesty!" Murphy Obern shrugged helplessly. The current head of the Southwest District didn't have a loud voice. The handsome face is a little tired and pale, and his eyes are bloodshot. It seems that what he said is not necessarily false.

"Oh, it seems that Lord Murphy Obune disagrees with His Majesty's decision?"

Julius Faubourg was surprised. In his eyes, since His Majesty let Murphy Obern take charge of the Southwest instead of himself, Murphy Obern would at least behave as the emperor even if he was not grateful. His Majesty's loyal posture, but from the current tone of Murphy Obern. It seems that he does not agree with the content of the Imperial Conference, and may even maintain opposition, which can not help but make Julius Faubourg a little grateful for the young people in front of him.

"To be honest, if it were before, I would be happy that His Majesty has the determination and courage of this true king!" Murphy Obern said with a little disdain on his face. But now, after seeing the strength of the northwest coast ..." Murphy Obern's voice stopped, his eyes looked solemn, and he shook his head and said slowly

"I just can say. This is an extremely stupid and dangerous decision"

"Why"

"The Northwest is no longer the Northwest it used to be. His Majesty's understanding of the Northwest is still in the previous impression. He thinks it is the end result, which is to cause the Northwest to go to war with the empire!" Murphy Obern's eyes shone with gleam. , With a wry smile at the corner of his mouth

"To be disrespectful, if the Northwest Coast goes to war with the Empire. How many troops do you think will be deployed?"

Julius Fort's eyes narrowed slightly. Although Murphy Obern's words were ugly, they were very pertinent. Since being transferred from the southwest. In addition, the empire deliberately concealed many things about the northwest. As the undersecretary of the military affairs department, he didn't know much about the development of the northwest.

The latest situation is only known from the letter sent by his daughter. He only knows that the northwest is gradually rising, and the fat man seems to intend to make the northwest a region outside the Gaul Empire.

Murphy O'Brien hesitated for a moment, and said in a solemn analysis

"If it’s me, I personally think that it is necessary to mobilize at least five or more of the main army of the empire, but the Central and Biya area and the Dongting people are fighting again, the eastern battlefield is already very tense, and no one knows that the war will be. It will not break out suddenly, and it should not be mobilized. Master Faaborg understands the situation in the north better than me, so I won't show my ugliness!"

"The main armies of the five empires? That's 300,000 people!"

Julius Faubourg was taken aback by this number. This Murphy Obune, as rumored, always makes Shangguan feel entangled, talented, but also very arrogant. His mouth is 300,000 people. , Eating and drinking, a big stall, and not letting the most battered empire’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Finance completely explode,

"On such a scale, I am afraid that another war between empires can be started, and do you think that a northwestern country will make His Majesty the emperor take it so seriously?" Julius Faubourg asked uncertainly

"No! If the Northwest is really so important, there won't be this ridiculous prince meeting." Murphy O'Born definitely shook his head, making the heart full of Julius Fowler. Fort, I feel like vomiting blood

"At the beginning, in Seattle on the eastern battlefield, the emperor, or His Majesty the Crown Prince, did not have such great courage. Moreover, now, there are too many worries and intrigues, and it is not as good as before." Murphy Obern talked. "Now that the Slavs are aggressively invading the north, the empire’s forces should still be mainly aimed at the Slavs, so this is just my personal opinion. I think even if the empire’s five or more main armies are deployed, the odds of winning against the northwest are only five. The odds of winning the number of five"

"Five legions are only five to five. Do you really value the Northwest!" Julius Faubourg looked surprised,

"The bet made me see the military strength of the Northwest." Murphy Obern said in a stern word, "And just before I left, the force of the Northwest expanded again and reached 20. Ten thousand people, the navy is even more powerful, so that the imperial navy of the Congolese is also restrained. The wings of the northwest eagle are already strong enough to set off a wind that sweeps the land of Gaul, but we, the emperor who can't come out of the palace. Your Majesty, obviously blinded by those important ministers who expect to get a share from the northwest!"

"You mean this meeting..." Julius Faubourg clenched his fists, his face was angry, the northwest has always been barren, and it is still the front line of the fight against Slavs, many The important officials of Kyoto didn't look at it, so that the Julius family, who had not yet been squeezed into the ranks of the rich, picked up a leak. This is a wall that is pushed by everyone!

"Master Faaborg has not been back to the northwest for a long time!" Murphy Obern smiled, as if he knew that Julius Fauber would ask this question, instead he asked instead

"Long time? It's only 2 months, but I'm a bit nervous about the Slavs' war recently, so I haven't found time to go back!"

Julius Faubourg said frankly, "I still remember that it was white snow flying when I left. Later, my daughter wrote to me and told me that it was the last snow in the Northwest, which is really touching! It’s the broken snow drifting in the northwest, and it’s more humane than some people in Kyoto!"

"Haha, Lord Faaborg's words, it seems that even I have scolded me! I took that snow to get to the southwest!" Murphy Obern smiled in sympathy, disapproving. "It’s no wonder Master Faaborg is very confused. In 2 months, there have been many changes. Now the Northwest is very different. The impression of being barren and barren in the past is growing with the development of more and more Northwest products. Inflow, there has been a huge change. A fat area with a total population of 5 million, developed commerce, full taxation, and an area of ​​more than 2,000 li, is like a feast clearly presented in front of all the important ministers."

Murphy Obune chuckled enviously, "I regret it now. If I collect taxes, it must have been posted long ago. It is said that only in the Kyoto area, through the collection of caravans in the northwest region Last month’s tax revenue reached more than 500,000 gold coins, which is comparable to one or two prosperous inland provinces. I am moved by it. If you say these guys don’t move, that’s self-deception,

Without the instigation of these people, His Majesty the Emperor would not directly put the position of the Northwest Commander so unscrupulously, just as high as the merchandise in the auction!

The one with the higher price gets it! As you know, the empire’s finances have been at a loss for two consecutive months recently! His majesty’s son is not well! "Murphy Obern looked into the distance, and some palace attendants were spreading the red carpet along the promenade, indicating that the emperor is coming soon,

Seeing the attendant laying the carpet, the people at the door of the meeting room quickly disperse~IndoMTL.com~Julles Fort and Murphy Obern are standing together, and there is a deep discussion between the two.

"Do you know the price?"

"What?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, the so-called higher price you just mentioned gets it!"

"...Well, as far as I know, the Alger farm has paid 2 million, the undersecretary of internal affairs Modima 5 million, the undersecretary of finance Isido’s 6.5 million, and the wealthiest Pakistan in the outskirts of Kyoto De and Noel... They all said it was a feast! How else would there be so many people!" Just as the two were whispering, a shrill voice sounded from the other end of the red carpet." The master of the European continent, the agent of the gods in the world, the emperor is here!"

The figure of the young emperor of Gaul has walked from the carpet not far away, with long curly hair like a lion, dressed in glittering gold ornamental costumes, making the young emperor look like he is in In a glorious glory, striding to the forefront, the demeanor of the king is undoubtedly revealed,

Julius Faubourg raised his head and greeted him with the sharp gaze of the young emperor. It felt like being gently slid across his throat by a knife, giving a suffocating depression, (to be continued) ..)
