Power and Empire Chapter 1675: Road to War (1)
"If we go to war directly, our troops will be insufficient!"
The Duke of Universal sets hesitated with a tilted head, very ugly, indicating that the fat man’s proposal does not work,
Although he is now the monarch to whom the general fame belongs, his troops have killed less than 8,000 people, and 6,000 of them are rookies who have never touched a weapon before. It is more useful to fight with a group of people than to drive a group of pigs to fight. As for expecting those areas corresponding to their own to fight against Gangfei, it is really a fantasy, because even the basic weapon problem cannot be solved.
"Even in the most powerful Ariste region, fewer than five hundred soldiers can be gathered, and only one hundred are equipped with weapons, and the rest are wooden farming tools!" The face of the duke is ugly. Said slowly
"Wooden farm tools..." The fat man can't imagine it.
"Gang Fei is very strict with the general set of iron tools, except for soldiers, other people are not allowed to use iron equipment" the face of the Duke of general set is as embarrassing as being patted on the soles of a dozen shoes" There is only one iron ore in the territory. In the previous Principality, the army had only 25,000 people at most. The main reason was the support of the Strand Sea State in the navy. However, the Congolese only got an army in the Principality of Pu Tau. In case of a thousand people, not to mention there are two full-strength local infantry regiments on the border, with a total strength of 40,000 people."
"If there is a war, even if we gather all the strength, we may not be able to hold on for a week!" The Duke of Putao's face was a little frightened. He was once beaten by Gang Fei to find teeth all over the floor. The original experience is simply It’s just a nightmare. The famous star Lanmia is nothing to a star destroyer like Fatty.
But it’s more than enough for a military idiot like the Duke of Shang Putao,
Tens of thousands of non-military troops poured into the general set, devastated and decayed, and in just one week, they were completely destroyed by the three-to-five division. The front of the soldiers went straight to the capital of Lisbon, and the Duke of Putao now thinks of the terrible sight of the army just over the city like chao water. He feels cold behind him. At that time, he was scared on the spot and paralyzed on the city road and was loyal. The stern guards dragged to their death like a dead dog
"Your Excellency, don't worry, the army is not a problem! I can lend it to you!"
The fat man looked at the difficult Duke with a smile on his face, like a businessman waiting to sell goods, and said with a smile on his mouth
"This time the Empire’s help to send troops to general sets will naturally not be just empty words. The Empire Army that arrived with the naval fleet has 6,000 men, plus the strength of the Duke, it can reach 14,000. The strength to deal with the 40,000 troops of Gangfei is obviously insufficient, but that is also in the case of frontal combat"
The fat man's voice stopped, his eyes looked through the window of the castle to the blue sea outside, and said
"Now that the control of the sea is in our hands, the fleet can tear the gap at any point on the coastline, if all are invested in one point. It has an advantage in terms of strength, but it is definitely a disaster for those who are in disarray. , And with the navy in hand, materials and personnel can be supplied at any time"
"Your Majesty means we take the initiative!"
There was a touch of joy on the face of the Duke of Putao. His combat ability is not good, but years of education have also taught him what it means for the coastline to be universal in terms of the land area of 80% and the sea. It's like holding a sharp ripper in your hand, ready to draw a knife on the fat maw of the coastline, the inhuman garrison of 11 thousand troops. If it is sprinkled on the entire coastline, it is nothing!
"According to the current situation, whoever takes the initiative first will have the advantage!" Fatty licking his face and talking nonsense have always been unique, not to mention the military idiot of the Duke of Mong Pu Tau, "Now The general situation of Gangfei is very chaotic. It is obvious that Gangfei people want to disrupt the situation and make other general people think that if they leave Gangfei people’s protection, they will face the disaster. If they have not stepped up at this time, it won’t take long. , Gang Fei Ren will gain the support of all the general public with a calm attitude!"
"This...what can I do?
The Duke of Putao's face turned pale. This guy was really fooled. In fact, he was also worried about this incident. He was just a man who occupied the magpie's nest. In addition, he had been pervasive in all areas of Putao for six years. To soften the work, half of Putao’s people’s hearts belong to Gangfei. If the self-directed and self-performed plan to suppress the chaos is implemented, all the people’s support for Putao will go to Gangfei. For this, the Duke of Putao will have three times. He didn’t eat well, and he didn’t sleep well. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw himself being guillotined by the general public. An executioner wearing a tall spire looked at him and sneered.
There is a sea of people under the table, all of them are ordinary people!
"Kill him!
‘Kill this idiot! "
Below the platform is the mountain whistling and tsunami. Duke Putao saw a cold light falling all over his body, and a head shrieked out of the headless chest, and he was immediately awakened.
"Where is the largest harbour on the North Road of Putao Principality?" The fat man turned his mouth slightly, and asked the Duke Putao with a mysterious face
"Your Majesty said... Lisboa!"
When the Duke of Putao talked about this place name, his eyes were wide. If he hadn't twisted his thigh quietly with his right hand, the severe pain reminded him that he really doubted whether he was awake, or he was right in front of him. His Majesty Falcon is just a fake,
The Duke of Putao looked left and right at the fat man’s unkind gaze, and finally he could only accept the judgment that the guy in front of him was a genuine Falcon, and it’s no wonder he thought this way. Even if he is a military idiot, he also knows Lisbon. The Tuo Da tragedy shook the entire Tuo Tau. It is said that the city was burnt down in the turmoil in nearly ruins. His Majesty Falcon used this as a landing point. It was a waste of controlling the coastline. This natural strategic advantage, and the majority of the Congolese army. They gathered near Lisbon Torre. Once the army chooses to land here, it is tantamount to sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger. The other side will inevitably encircle Lisbon Torre and smash the landing troops.
"Do you think I must be crazy?" The fat man raised his head and glanced at the Duke of Universal, whose eyes were about to bulge. He smiled slightly. He wanted to achieve this effect, the mainstay of the Falcon Empire. The goal is Gaul. It is impossible to completely tear off the face with Gang Fei for such a small place as Pu Tao. The best result is to be able to pull Fu Tao from Gang Fei's annexation, and finally force Gang Fei to give up annexation. A general plan.
"I dare not, I just set the landing point at Lisbonto, it is..." The Duke of Putu lowered his head under the eyes of the fat man and chewed in his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't find a falcon that could describe it. The words that your Majesty decided in this way can only say embarrassingly, "It's too risky!"
The fat man chuckled his mouth and looked like a sharp sword, "Your Excellency, what is the ultimate goal of returning home this time?"
"Final goal?"
The Duke of Pu Tao is unidentified, so his face is full of confusion. He doesn't know why His Majesty Falcon has such a problem. His ultimate goal is naturally to drive Gang Fei Ren out of Pu Tao! Is it such a problem. Also need to ask? The Falcon in front of you is really a fake and shoddy goods
Seeing his unkind gaze, the corners of the fat man's mouth chuckled, fingers playing with the ring on the knuckles, and slowly said, "I know what the Duke is thinking, but the Duke has thought about it, and expelled Gang Feiren from the general set. The consequence of this is not to bring the imaginary peace to the generals, but to attract more generals to the army. In this way, the endless fighting, or the Duke hopes to not only keep your duke position, but also to let the generals Set free from the war of Gangfei!"
"This!" Duke Putao's face changed slightly, and his body was shaken. His gaze showed a trace of stunnedness, and he suddenly knew why His Majesty Falcon would ask like this. It is not difficult to defeat the garrison in Gangfei, but the difficulty is. The distance to Gang Fei is too close. Facing the Principality of Pu Tao, Gang Fei is bound to win. Just like a giant is absolutely impossible to allow a small hidden danger to exist forever around him, either crushing or controlling. The strength of the army of Gangfei is the kind that is enough to crush the general set more than ten times.
This time Gangfei returned without success in the southern expedition. If he encounters the failure of General Tao again, the emperor of Gangfei, who is ashamed and angry, will inevitably send more troops to invade and retaliate against General Tao. The city will be destroyed and the people slaughtered. At that time, the ultimate result of the Putao Principality was to become a slaughterhouse for Gangfei, which was finally completely erased from the map.
"Please also your Majesty's advice!"
The cold sweat on Duke Putao’s forehead was gone, and he suddenly found that he had entered a dead end, dying forward, and unable to live back! This made the little confidence he had just risen disappeared. What is the purpose of his fighting? Is it to destroy the entire universal set?
"In this war, there was no winning or losing from the beginning!"
The fat man glanced at the duke who was stunned there, knowing that this guy must be very messy now, the fat man who is best at bewitching people, began to suggest small gestures as always, put on a solemn expression, and said slowly with great regret. "I must tell your Excellency that the nature of war is the continuation of politics and cannot solve everything. This is a war where both parties seek to compromise on their own. The result of a death fight is that both lose and lose. What you are looking for is a way of compromise. I Knowing that this is difficult, even harder than fighting bravely to death"
"Compromise?" Duke Putao muttered in a low voice, muttering to himself, with a thoughtful luster in his eyes, as if he had never thought about this issue,
"Do you know what the heavy armor of light and darkness is? It is gray! This is also a way of survival for a country." The fat man raised his head, as deep as a saint who saw through the world, making people want to smoke With a few slapped urges, the **** slowly said, "You have to show the strength to make Gang Fei afraid, so that Gang Fei will give up the idea of getting rid of you." The fat man's voice stopped, and he reached out and touched the table. Hui’s is like a teacher who is teaching his apprentices. "But at the same time, you must also show sincerity to reconcile with Gangfei. In order to dispel Gangfei’s worries, you can propose to become Gangfei’s military ally indefinitely. In this way, the Gangster can be assured, and Putao can avoid the war that is destroyed by the Gangster. Before that, you must restore the people's hearts lost by the Gangster, and that place is Lisboa!"
"Why is it Lisboa?"
The Duke of Putao was very fascinated when he heard that, his eyes looked at the fat man and he worshiped "The teachings of an imperial emperor, let me become a king from a duke." Fifty years later, Putao I, the kingdom of Putao, was established. In my memoir, I wrote the sentence "There is a kind of person who is born to control everything!"
"Ha, this one is hooked!"
The fat man narrowed his eyes, his voice stopped, and he deliberately took a deep breath, filtered the logic in his mind, and then continued to say "Listo is the capital of the Principality, and he just suffered destruction. Destruction, the eyes of the entire Principality are here, you are landing in the broken Lisboa. This is the best time to show your determination to restore the Principality. You must let all the people know that you, the Duke of Universal, have never given up Through general practice, even if this place has turned into hell, you are willing to fight for it!"
"It is true, even if it turns into hell, I will fight for my country!" The Duke of Putao was so excited by this sentence, his eyes were bloodshot
The fat man shook his head. "On the other hand, when you land in Lisbon with a high profile, the Congolese army will inevitably be swarmed. As long as you show the fact that relying on the broken city, you can also prevent the Congolese army from moving forward. You are in the hearts of the general public. The prestige will rise
"You will become the real monarch in their minds. At that time, even if Gang Fei suppressed it, the situation of the general nation against Gang Fei could not be reversed. "The fat man glanced at the general Duke of Gang Fei who was in a devilish state." Gang Fei People will choose to give in. At this time, if you propose to conclude a military alliance agreement with Congo and Fei to completely solve the problems between them, Congo and Fei will definitely agree! All they want is a stable rear, not a deep one. The spikes deep behind them! I believe this will not hinder the Gangfei who are eager to expand to the south!
"They won't have any losses. They can even avoid a hard war, and they can solve the biggest hidden danger out of thin air, why not do it"
"As for persistence, it is not a problem. Outside the port of Lisboa is the area controlled by the Imperial Navy. Materials and reinforcements will be delivered continuously by sea. What you have to do to withstand the pressure, and then release the message of willingness to negotiate. In order to do so. To obtain this result before the emperor of Gaul returns to Beijing, the Gaul Military Ministry itself will be impatient to send people!"
The fat man talks freely, and the Duke of Pu Tao looks shocked
The feasibility of this plan is very large. The Duke of Putao has already confirmed this in his heart. He has not dealt with the Congolese and African Military Affairs Department once or twice. It was just that the former Congolese and African Military Affairs Department was the cat that can play with mice at will. , You can do whatever you want, but this time, he can be placed on the same scale with this cat. In addition to the blood boiled, he even has some expectations,
First time
Seeing so clearly, a path that can survive both himself and Pu Tao, and what shocked him the most, was the seemingly random instruction of the Falcon’s Majesty, who was known as the emperor. **God’s men have the most terrible talent in playing politics and human hearts.
People are really incomparable with people. Although the Duke of Putao is grateful in his heart, he also began to doubt the real purpose of the Falcon Empire in helping him.
"If this is the case, is our previous agreement still valid?" The Duke of Buddhism gritted his teeth excitedly, and asked in a deep voice with the courage, who had experienced betrayal, surveillance, and people like the Duke of Buddhism, Always be wary of others, and some things are better if you talk beforehand. After all, interest is the best connection point,
"The agreement is still valid. I helped you save the Principality! Naturally, it is not free! The fat man's mouth curled slightly. "There are no permanent allies, and no permanent enemies!" You and I get what you need! "
"It turns out I still have some places I can use!" There was a glimmer of comfort in Duke Putao. At this moment, he felt for the first time that he still had a useful value. Sometimes people were afraid of their own value. No, it is also a kind of sadness!
The fat man did not notice the expression of the Duke of Putao, and his voice paused and said, "Our requirement is actually very simple, that is, goods from the Falcon Empire can enter Putao without duty!"
"It's just that?" The Duke of Universal set an unbelievable look. Such a request is nothing.
"Of course it's impossible!" The fat man said solemnly
"If there is anything else, please tell me directly!"
The sweat beaded on the face of the Duke of Putao. He once considered the cost of joining the Falcon Empire~IndoMTL.com~ Most likely, he will become controlled by the Falcon Empire like Raphael. Puppet, but at least he can save one life, but Pu Tao is far away from the Falcon Empire,
The Falcon Empire is strong, but the flowers are not red. Any country will have times of weakness. Given time, it is not completely impossible for the general set to leave again.
"I need an alliance treaty! Anyway, we have helped your Excellency, and some alliance discounts are still needed!" The fat man looked at the nervous Duke of Universal Set, suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be so nervous," We just need to allocate a part of the land to build our own port! The other conditions are really gone"
"That's all!" The Duke of Putao blinked and opened his mouth slightly. Where is he, compared to becoming a puppet, is this a condition? The Duke of Putao has an impulse to be grateful. He is really a benevolent ally!
Unfortunately, if the Duke of Putao knew that the **** was killing in the northwest, he would not think so. The fat man looked at the Duke of Putao who couldn't find the North in excitement, and the corner of his mouth secretly smiled." Open the gate of the country, then everything is up to you! Tax-free, the merchants of the empire still don’t swarm like flies that smell the smell. Then they will know that standing on a golden mountain but a grain of gold can’t catch more than crying. Feeling uncomfortable! "(To be continued...)
