Power and Empire Chapter 1679: Unexpected (1)
"Touch! Touch!"
Count Remchat, the High Commissioner of the Non-Imperial Military Affairs Department, knocked on the front office door, and a gray-haired old man was sitting at the desk in the room, reviewing documents, with silver-white hair and almost transparent eyes. This old man of is the Duke Rubinsack, Minister of Military Affairs of the Congolese and Africa,
"My lord, are you looking for something to do with me?" Earl Remshat, dressed in a straight blue military uniform, stood in front of the old man in an elevated posture. He was about 30 years old.
"What do you think of the empire’s southward battle plan?" Duke Rubinsack did not lift his head either. Except for Earl Remchat’s accident, what was written on the document by the pen in his hand. Hair like silver needles, full of the mixed feeling of fortitude and vicissitudes of time,
In front of this empire veteran who holds hundreds of thousands of empires, even if he is hailed as the fastest rising empire in recent years in the empire’s military circles; Earl Remchat did not dare to show the slightest sloppy expression
"Go south to fight? Lord Duke meant to ask for the rebellious Fazer?" Count Remchat asked with a somewhat stunned expression. He also heard some rumors that the empire had assembled 300,000 people on the southern border. Strength, the combat target seems to be Fazer, the empire’s old enemy,
"Faze's navy is very powerful, and we still need to cross the strait to be able to attack Faze's land, but I heard that the navy suffered heavy losses in the north, and there is no advantage..." Omogi Count Charte said cautiously, speaking of helplessness. The Gangfei Empire, which inherited the blood of the former Holy Obaro Empire, has only risen for a hundred years, but it has many old enemies. There is Obaro in the north and Fazer in the south. Most of these areas They are all the land of the former Holy Oubaro Empire. The Congolese empire, which considers itself orthodox, naturally calls these guys who have abandoned the Holy Oubaro Empire as rebellious.
"Yes, so we have applied for naval assistance from other countries!" Duke Rubinsack stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the Earl Remchat in front of him, his eyes sharpened and slowly Said, "It was the Principality General, one of the vassal states of the empire, who came forward to contact. The navy is the navy of the Lanterst Principality, the strongest in Central Europe. They promised to dispatch 50 warships to help us gain control of the strait. Although everything went well, However, His Majesty still feels that he has lost the face of the empire. Tangtang needs the assistance of a foreign navy! It always feels bad to say it!"
"The Principality of Lanternster, the country known as the maritime mercenary! A country without a stand or sense of honor!" Earl Remchat looked gloomy, hesitated, and asked, "This time, only I'm afraid I need a lot of rewards!"
"5 million gold coins" Duke Rubinsack's old mouth grinned slightly,
"It's really a heavy salary!"
The Earl of Remchart, who saw this expression in his eyes, was silent for a while. Although the Congolese Empire controlled the fertile land of Central Europe, its annual revenue was about 40 million yuan, which cost the Empire 80 cents. One of the financial resources, it’s no wonder that a calm person like Duke Rubinsack will also show a trace of imperceptible anger on his face. In the final analysis, this is the aftereffect of the last defeat in the Southwest conquest,
The two empire battleships were annihilated, nearly 100 battleships, and more than 38,000 experienced naval sailors were lost in vain, all of which reduced the strength of the Gangfei navy by two levels.
The strait that was previously able to be controlled independently, now it is also necessary to seek help from foreign aid to be able to control it.
Recently, there was news that defeated the enemy of the Imperial Navy in the southwest and went south again fiercely, occupying the sea hub island of Kasiri in one fell swoop. The situation in the north sea area is said to have been so severe that the empire must issue a ban on seas, requiring all All port cities are in combat readiness, and all merchant fleets are prohibited from entering the northern waters
The impact of doing so is also obvious. The products from the northern seas were cut off, leading to high prices of goods on the market, including the silver hairtail that Earl Remchat likes to eat. This kind of life On the beach near the northern sea, the meat is delicious, and it will be more delicious if smoked with wine.
Before the lock was sealed, the price of silver hairtail was 30 silver coins in the market, but now it is close to one gold coin. Other goods are also roughly the same. The loss of the northern seas may affect the inland areas of Congo Not obvious, but for coastal cities including Imperial Kyoto, it is definitely an invisible disaster, at least for many nobles who love food.
The Gang-non-nobles who inherited the blood of the sacred Obalo Empire, most of them are hedonistic, the mellow and fragrant beauty, the delicious food that seems to melt the tongue, the heart-shattering music, the graceful beauty,
But for the soldiers of Gangfei, the thousand-year-old sense of honor makes them feel that the game of politics and strategy, the fun they can get, is not comparable to alcohol or beauty, and the Earl of Remchat It is undoubtedly an alternative here. It is said that the good-looking Earl of Remchat not only rises quickly, but also has a large number of lovers.
"How many lovers does the Earl have?" Someone asked him the same question before. Remchat did not answer immediately, but was thinking with a serious expression, and then pretended to be almost hòu. With a bright smile, he replied, "If you don't take the beat as a unit, I'm afraid it's not the end!" It seemed a bit exaggerated, but it was not completely bragging. His appearance is indeed unambiguous at all.
"Master Duke, I was specially asked to come over tonight. There must be something? If it is a foreign affairs matter, I am afraid I may not be able to do it!"
Remchat said seriously, because he knew that the office he was in was not the official residence of the Secretary of Military Affairs, nor was it even a private residence. Four hundred years ago, this place was still a small mountain basin full of salt gas. A lord built a beautiful manor by the lake and was finally taken into custody by the empire.
Because the location is in the bustling area on the outskirts of Kyoto, many people are trying to create a beautiful manor, but they have no way to start, because there are rumors that this manor is the property of the emperor, that is, the emperor’s Industry, but Remchart knows that His Majesty, who lives a serious life, almost never comes here, and only some important foreign envoys will be arranged here.
"Foreign affairs?" Duke Rubinsack looked at him with piercing eyes, a glimmer of imperceptible appreciation, and to conceal it, he coughed. "There is indeed a foreign affairs that needs to be solved urgently. Since you have brought it up, then I'll hand you over!"
"Do you know the falcon empire that has just risen in the north?" Duke Rubinsack asked in a deep voice
"Know some!" Remshat nodded solemnly. Although deep away from the northern front of Gangfei, he also heard about this emerging empire, not to mention that the country’s navy has severely damaged the empire. Navy,
Remsha slowly said with some confusion, "I heard that it comes from a country on the northwest coast and is fighting against the Gauls, but what does this have to do with our Gang Fei?"
Duke Rubinsack’s face was silent for a moment, and he picked up a report on the table. "This is the border report that has just been received. The Fifth Army on the northern border has been defeated by the Falcon Empire. Army Commander Lanmia I died in battle, although I have urgently mobilized two regiments northward, but overall, the situation is very unfavorable for us! Because the main force of the empire brought by the emperor is assembled on the southern front, we can only stick to it, and cannot gather forces to launch it. In the counterattack, the opponent’s army has penetrated 200 miles of the border, and only then sent people to ask us to recognize its actual control over the Southwest of the Gauls. Otherwise, it will continue to deepen, and the opponent’s naval fleet will also use the Imperial Kyoto. As the target of attack"
"What!"
Remshat looked shocked, his mouth wide open, like a goose pinched by a neck, Lanmia was a famous general in the empire, and the Fifth Legion under his command surpassed the average legion. A super-large army of 150,000 people, even Lanmia was killed in battle
The enemy has gone 200 miles deep into the border. Doesn’t that mean that the northern border of the empire has collapsed. It is terrible. It is conceivable that the current northern border will be a tragic scene.
"His Majesty the Emperor has acquiesced to this agreement, but regaining the old southwest and recreating the glory of the original sacred Europa Empire is the legacy of the ancestors of the past, so it is impossible for the Emperor to blatantly come forward!" With a solemn gaze, the Duke looked at his exaggerated expression and pointed at Remchat. "Now the Emperor is about to launch a full-scale attack on Fazer on the southern front, and you are specially assigned to sign this with the Falcon Empire. Undisclosed agreement!"
"Why me?" Remchat looked stunned.
"Because of the remaining personnel of the Imperial Military Affairs Department in Beijing, apart from my minister, you are the only one who has a bit of weight!" Duke Rubinsack narrowed his eyes slightly. "There is intelligence that the other party is more than just intimidation.
The opponent has fully controlled the border, and our army is unable to counterattack. This is a fact, but there may not be a full-scale aggression soon! However, according to our reliable information lurking in Dahaicheng in the northwest,
The opponent is in the Southwest and Rusty area, there is a large-scale mobilization of troops, it is obvious that the opponent is preparing for a large-scale attack plan! "
"The so-called large-scale is...?"
Remshat gritted his teeth and bit his head and asked, since he is going to take the blame, he also wants to know if he is worth it
"More than 500,000 troops, no! If it is included in the naval fleet, it may exceed 500,000."
Duke Rubinsack’s eyes flickered, and his almost pale blue pupils were shining white while he waited. For those who don’t know the Falcon’s defense plan, it’s easy to regard the replacement defense as an army buildup.
"500,000!"
Remshat swallowed hardly. For the newcomer of the Imperial military, it takes a few seconds to swallow the meaning of this sentence.
" It’s no wonder, it’s so urgent to be drawn to sign contracts at night! "Remchart woke up, and even the most basic resistance is gone, even if the empire is just a non-empire, it can’t be mobilized overnight. Such a huge military power is not just a matter of quantity, but also involves the ability to organize, manage, dispatch, and use. Does the Falcon Empire have such capabilities? No matter what, this is indeed an irresistible force,
It’s no wonder that even Rubinsack, a veteran who has experienced many battles, thinks that the situation is not good for the Congolese Empire. In this case, if you drag on for a second, there may be civilians on the border. Suffered from the slaughter, the brutality of the Falcons was fully manifested when they attacked Kathy Island. Except for the sinking of the Seventh Squadron of the Navy, which was in charge of Kathy at the time, 7,400 sailors were killed. Merchants and residents on Li Island were also massacred and killed more than 34,000 people.
"Go, the other party’s representative is already in the living room!"
Rubinsack said to Remshat, then lowered his head and continued to sign the approval document, but Remshat saw the pen in the hand of the Secretary of Military Affairs for no reason, and could not write any words, only the dry pen The mark is sliding on the leather paper
"National shame!" Remshat stood up and silently opened the door of the room
In the meeting room, Remshat saw the messenger of the Falcon Empire, a murderous Cyclops, and he could feel it from its fierce pressure. This is definitely a fierce battlefield killer. This **** breath that ignores life and death can be clearly smelled more than ten meters away
"Your Excellency?"
Saron watched as he walked in Remshat, his muddy one-eyed gleaming, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, he was straightforward. He was a typical martial artist, although a little clever, but for Politics and strategy have always been relatively rough, and it was not until I hit the road that I suddenly reacted. I was fooled by His Majesty Falcon!
It’s absolutely impossible to kill all tens of thousands of defeated troops without missing them. Once the defeated troops are scattered, no one can stop them. His Majesty Falcon is undoubtedly very aware of this situation. However, the eastern cavalry was still sent to raid the border,
One is to use the cruel tactics of the Dongting people to form a deterrent to the Congolese empire, gain the initiative in the situation, and show the empire’s fierce offensive. On the other hand, His Majesty Falcon does not want the war to expand indefinitely. The situation of full-scale war is not easy to deal with,
In exchange for the Falcon Empire’s actual control of the southwestern region, the powerful offensive Falcon Army withdrew to the original border. This is still acceptable to the Congolese. It is said that the Congolese’s main force is fighting in the south. , Saran only learned about it after arriving in Kyoto, so Saraon has always been careful to maintain his due strength,
" The Ministry of Military Affairs just waited for Remchat, the emperor's majesty is not in Kyoto, so I am responsible for the appointment of this contract!” Remchat was stunned by Saron’s one-eyed eyes, and the image of the other party Sure enough, with this brutal and **** empire worthy of the name, the tone seems a little weak
"If this is the case, then sign a contract, I have to hurry back!"
Saron's face eased a little, and he gave Remchat a please sit down gesture. The entourages of both sides placed the treaty in front of each other. Remchat pretended to look at the clause, as if I wanted to say something, but when I saw the chilling one-eyed Saron opposite, I couldn't say it anymore. After staring at the treaty text that was destined to embarrass him for half an hour, Remchat was very unwilling. Signed their names on it, the attendants picked up the documents and exchanged each other, and each kept a copy
"When is your envoy going back?" Remchat took a deep breath and asked
" In a few days, my majesty said, I’ve never seen the bustling city of Kyoto, but I have to take a look! "Saron grinned, one eye showed a fierce look." Is your country so eager to rush people? Anyway, we are now a truce! We all have our own interests, don’t we?"
"No, it's just that Kyoto has not been peaceful recently. With such an important mission, I hope that your envoy can pay attention to safety!" Remchat gritted his teeth with regret. Since Kasiliy Island has been taken over, it has just been out of Kyoto. There was also a wave of attacks against the Falcon Empire, but after all, it was too far away from the Falcon Empire. This trend subsided before long. But this does not mean that once someone knows that the Falcon Empire’s messenger is in Kyoto, no There will be some young people who are too patriotic to jump out
"It doesn't matter, if there really is an accident, I believe there will be many people buried for me!"
Saron’s mouth laughed. This high-ranking officer from the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Congolese and African Republic is so interesting that he is still threatening himself. Of course, Saron, who was originally a mercenary, is not afraid of any passionate youth. There are a hundred imperial guards, most of them are military masters who kill people like hemp. There are really so few who are not eye-opening, and they kill when they kill. In this repressive situation, the Gang and Fei can only swallow their breath.
The next day, Saran took a dozen guards dressed as mercenaries and strolled around Gangfei Kyoto. As a great empire, Gangfei Kyoto was undoubtedly very prosperous, and Saran’s first goal was It’s the best weapon shop in Kyoto,
Because they are dressed in general, the shop folks didn’t care much about Salon. At first glance, the barbarians tended to be aggressive. For shop folks, most of the barbarians are dressed like this. In most cases, they are The fierce shouting in the mouth, in fact, there is not even a gold coin in the pocket, so I just randomly took out a few snake-shaped stingers that are still visible. The snake-shaped stinging sword is a weapon unique to humans, and the front end is sharp and abnormal. The elliptical handle is like a handguard shield. It is not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, but it is suitable for personal wear. The reason why the guy took out a stabbing sword that is not suitable for slashing is because he himself has a little bit of the idea of fooling these barbarians. The barbarians have seen any good stuff. They can only see weapons that can pierce armor and treat them as magic weapons.
Saron looked a bit disdainful and picked up a snake-shaped stinging sword. The tip of the sword was bent to an arc, and he suddenly pierced the armor that was used as a test next to it. It seemed to be pierced when sent lightly. The shiny silver armor, even though it was just a piece of light armor that didn't look solid, also made Salong's eyebrows slightly frowned.
"What a sharp stabbing sword! But shouldn't it be used to sweep and slash, right?" This guy who has always been thick and thin secretly admired,
He knows, just like himself~ IndoMTL.com~ Hu Keqili was sent to Kyoto by the fat man to send a piece of information about Gaul, but he was highly appreciated by His Majesty Falcon. One by one, the reports concerning the military, geography, properties, routes, and customs of the Gaul Empire are at the bottom. When the spring of next year begins, Hu Keqili must be the chief responsible for the attack on the Gaul right wing.
"Will you buy it or not, a handful of 30 silver coins, please leave if you don't!" Looking at the annoying Cyclops customer, he swept the shop a few times with the snake-shaped stinging sword as a wooden stick without any scruples. The guy’s face turned green immediately. Although it’s just a normal item, it’s a good weapon made by WISCO. It’s a reputable brand. It can stab or chop, let alone wield it awkwardly. If you damage one of them, you’ll have it this month. Even if all the wages are lost
"Trash, 5 gold coins! Is there no better weapon!" Salong's face was pulled down, and a Samor sword of the guard next to him was drawn out, fiercely. With a slash, the light of the knife flashed, and two snake-shaped swords were cut off with a stab on the spot
"You..." The shop clerk looked at the broken snake-shaped sword, his eyes almost didn't explode. Although the stabbing sword couldn't chop, it was enough to block it. How could it be shattered by a single blow, he I remember that the last time I was a brute-powered barbarian, he hit five times with a huge spike hammer without interrupting the guard of a stabbing sword. Finally, he smiled and bought one as a treasure.
