Power and Empire Chapter 1785: The turning point in the north (6)


In August’s Gaul Kyoto, the night is full of coolness. With the curfew, the empty streets are almost invisible. Several Gaul guards wearing guards’ red cloaks followed a carriage slowly. Yes, there is a sign of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the door, and there is a neat stepping sound from the far corner. Amidst the anti-shè light of the silver armor, a group of patrolling guards passed by the carriage, the carriage shimmering and lonely. The sound of wheel tracks touched the rocks, and the air was depressingly cold,

The Gaul Intelligence Minister Harun stared at the busiest street in Kyoto through the car window, holding a report that he had just received in his hands, his face looked very ugly, and his dreadful green eyes were photographed. Human light, this is just like a stray dog ​​who has just been kicked by a man.

"My lord, is this information accurate?" Opposite him, the young Imperial Intelligence Adjutant Elvis looked incredulous

"I also hope it is fake, but. レ;思♥路♣客レ..."

Harlan’s face wrinkled miserably, and said with a wry smile, "You didn’t see your majesty’s first few days, knowing that the Northern Army had already begun to encircle the Slavs’ base camp Naguld. Tian is also asking about the results of the Battle of the North every day,

"What a rare jīng god!" Harlan's eyes flickered, and he muttered in a low voice, "Do you want me to tell your majesty that the northern imperial army failed the attack on the Slavs base camp Nagould, legion commander Yar Germany was wounded, 7 officers above the regimental commander level were killed, 14 generals were wounded, and more than 60,000 soldiers died in battle. What do you think your Majesty will do with this under the furious?

"Your Majesty will directly kill the person who sent this report!" Elvis said decisively and calmly

"Who said no, what a feat! What a feat! The duck that reached its beak flew like this..." God Harun shook his head angrily. This is the most since the empire moved north. A terrible failure, even Harlan, who was scolded as an idiot by the entire imperial world, wanted to ask the famous general Alder, the leader of the northern army of the Empire, "Is your kid sleepwalking?" A 200,000 army besieged Naguld, who has only 70,000 troops. It turned out to be like this! It is much better to send a mediocre to go."

"Will the Battle of the North be frustrated because of this?" Adjutant Elvis asked curiously, showing that the young blood in the body is still there

"It shouldn't be. In the Battle of the North, our army has already taken the initiative, but after this defeat, it will take at least one month to recover!"

Although the Marquis of Harlan was scolded as a straw-made rice bucket for corpse-position vegetarian meals, he had a lot of information and he was still very accurate in his judgment of the situation. He shook his head. Said, "A month is not long or short, I am afraid that there is no such opportunity! The Falcon Empire army in the west moves stupidly, I am afraid that it will attack in August. At that time, the Battle of the North, who I also can’t tell how it will develop! The imperial meeting of today was to discuss the transfer of the Northern Army to resist the Falcons! Think about the expressions of your Majesty and the generals on hearing this news, "Harlan withstands a dark circle with a face. I want to find a place to kill the gods directly,

"Since you can't directly report to your Majesty. Why not report it to the Emperor's Affair Officer first" Elvis hesitated on his face, looking at the bitter face of his boss, carefully suggesting,

"You mean that woman?" The Marquis of Harlan was taken aback. Then he shook his head like a rattle, and said decisively, "Absolutely not. It was to resist this woman's return to Beijing that the Ministry of Military Affairs deliberately launched this thorough investigation. The purpose was to keep that woman out of Kyoto, if it was the Ministry of Military Affairs. Knowing that we handed over this information to that woman is undoubtedly like everyone else. Has the Intelligence Department under the Ministry of Military Affairs taken refuge in that woman? Will I still have to survive?"

"Although you can't hand it over to that woman directly, you can pass it to someone else!"

Adjutant Elvis blinked with a weird look and slyly sneered. "Don’t forget, your lord, isn’t there a special department within the intelligence department? As long as there is a little bit of wind, I believe this information will be the best It was delivered to that woman quickly!"

"You mean Philip! Yeah, why did I forget this unflattering guy?" Harlan's eyes were heard, a smile appeared on his sad face, and then his eyebrows frowned slightly. "That's a loyal dog that the woman has planted in the Intelligence Department! For the last time the branch was unplugged, that guy spent half a month in the office, but who was sent to reveal this news? It's so important. Once the news spreads, it will inevitably shake Kyoto. People who don’t worry really dare not send it. People who don’t worry have a very bad relationship with that guy..."

"I'll go!" Adjutant Elvis could not hear the thoughts of this cunning boss, and nodded decisively. "I have only been in the Intelligence Department for 2 months, and there is no contradiction with Philip, and the subordinates think this This matter can help ease the tension between the adults and Philep. In any case, whether it is the superior of the military department or the woman, our intelligence department is not easy to provoke!"

"That's great!"

The Secretary of Intelligence Harlan took a deep breath, looked at the cold street outside the window with a complicated look of relief, and sighed, "I know that many people hate me. If possible, who would be willing to do this kind of unthankful position? Well, no one remembers their own good news for delivering good news, but the bad news is the person who brought the ominous news first to himself,

Actually, this has nothing to do with me. The generals themselves defeated the war, but in the face of the generals who led the troops on the front line, the leaders of the Imperial Ministry did not dare to pursue the responsibility at will, and faced the soft persimmons. The same intelligence department, the military leaders have no scruples at all."

Just as the two were talking, the carriage entered the palace's confines, and along the way were the guards. The carriage stopped in front of the steps, and a guard opened the door of the carriage "My Minister"

"Go to work! I will temporarily suppress this information, please hurry!"

Harlan stood up, whispered to Adjutant Elvis, got off the carriage, raised his eyes and glanced at the brightly lit hall at the end of the steps, adjusted his collar, and stopped the head full Fantastically, walking along the gorgeous red carpet into the chamber,

He noticed that the guards in the palace today are much less than those in Ping. In the past, soldiers of the Imperial Guard with sharp weapons would stand upright throughout the corridor. It is said that this is because the emperor always thinks that someone in the palace wants to kill Him,

But today there is a lot less, which shows that His Majesty is confident in the outcome of the Battle of the North!

The front is brightly lit. Harlan felt a little cold,

What kind of fate awaits me there! The current Gaul Kyoto, but the undercurrent is surging. If you are not careful, you will get involved and even the scum will not be left. Because Latis lost the first battle, the Imperial Affairs Department and the Emperor’s Affairs Officer Algernon Julia were concerned about this. The responsibility for the failure of the war is to shirk each other,

Algernon Julia accused the military department of proper dispatch, and the rear supply officials took the opportunity to sell ordnance that should have been transported to the front line, which eventually led to the destruction of the Rusty line.

The Ministry of Imperial Affairs accused Algernon Julia of being an army supervising army, but repeatedly unreasonably interfered with the deployment of the general in front, and when the Rusty line was breached, it was not someone else who was in full command and command. Algernon Julia, as a supervising army,

"When the army was fighting to death, as the army supervising army, he broke away from the battle, and the army collapsed and he was captured by the enemy in the barren hills. This is a typical malfeasance. Beheaded according to the rules of the emperor!"

This is the attitude expressed by the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Ministry of Military Affairs believed that the strong line of defense stationed by 200,000 troops was easily broken by the Falcon Emperor within half a day. It directly led to the complete fall of the western part of the empire, and the responsibility of the Supervisor Algernon Julia is hard to shirk,

The thing that makes the military department the most upright is that Algernon Julia was captured by the Falcon Army.

This point cannot be explained to avoid past problems. In particular, it was implied in the report that Algernon Julia herself was an absolute beauty, who fell into the hands of the Viking Falcon, known as the devil, for a month. This is enough to make Algernon Julia, a shrewd and calm woman, lose the opportunity to argue,

Who is the Vickia Falcon? In all aspects of Gaul’s propaganda, the emperor of the enemy country who fought Gaul lost his helmet and unarmed his armor, is simply sitting on the throne of bones and skeletons. Breeding pigs, as long as they are females, they will be interested, even men are said to not let go,

During Algernon Julia’s capture, there have been various rumors circulating in the Gaul Kyoto that Algernon Julia has been conquered by the Vecchia Falcons, and some rumors, together, can’t be controlled at all. For these Full of malicious conjectures, Algernon Julia who returned to Gaul can't argue with her,

Even the young Gaul emperor who was depended on seemed to be irritated by the news, and directly rejected his request to return to the palace, instead ordering him to stop at his manor on the outskirts of Kyoto for reflection, but Algernon Julia did not. To show weakness, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the people in the army who are related to the Northwest, because these talents are the chief culprits in the failure of the Battle of Rusty.

This is also what makes Harlan, the intelligence minister, a headache,

Whether it’s rumors or Algernon Julia’s self-examination, thorough investigation of the reselling of military assets, the person who can make the final determination is precisely the intelligence department caught between the two huge forces, and the first two requirements can still be implemented. , But the third thorough investigation of those officers who sell supplies and have fornication with the Falcons is a tricky task that can’t even be touched.

Without the support of a few large families, which officer would dare to dump air supplies on a large scale in the face of national disaster?

In fact, a large number of armaments were resold during Rusty’s most stressful period. It is not uncommon for the Intelligence Department. Harlan even has a list of these officers in his hands, knowing the background behind these officers. Powerful,

"It's simply an enemy of the entire empire!" Harlan shuddered subconsciously, twisting some random writings into a ball and throwing them into the trash, I was afraid that he would actually submit a report. , The next day will be torn to pieces by the angered bigwigs from all sides. Street assassinations and the like are considered light. Together, they will be completely extinct. Under the current situation of the emperor’s scorpion, it is simply trance. It's easy.

In order to show that the Intelligence Department is executing, Harlan found a workaround

He ordered the intelligence divisions of various provinces that a group of ān from the Falcon Empire was selling war preparations on a large scale. The local branches did not dare to neglect, and acted quickly. The effect was remarkable. The Gaul people first felt the inexplicable atmosphere. Get nervous,

At key locations such as city gates, arterial roads, and bridges, the city guards are investigating at night, especially for passers-by with a southwestern and northwestern accent. They check very rigorously, and businesses who operate hotels, hotels, hostels, and restaurants are also baffled. ,

In these days, inspections are very frequent everywhere, three or four times a day. And the usual check is to look at the passenger registration book and leave. But it doesn't work anymore. Every time I check, I open the room to check the number of people one by one, and look at their faces. Especially for people coming from the northwest, the city guards inspected the goods with particular interest. Not only did they have to check the goods, but they also had to ask questions one by one, and they were not limited to ordinary hostels and hotels, even those high-end hotels were no exception.

The whole of Gaul is nervous, although most of the civilians can't tell the cause of the matter. But the army has already received the news in advance,

Those soldiers who really reselled supplies stopped all night,

The thorough investigation by the Ministry of Intelligence has been late, and the scope has directly crossed these people, but has fallen on people related to the northwest. Some nobles who fled from the northwest to the hinterland of Gaul have reached the blood mold, in order to avoid Open an aggressive war in the northwest,

These were once the rise of the Falcon Empire. The nobles who escaped from the northwestern countries sold their fields, manors, and treasures. They were all replaced by Gallic gold coins that could be carried. This time they were all regarded as stolen stolen goods and were confiscated by the Gallic army. Those who dragged their families with their mouths were arrested by the army as ān in the northwest and sent to prison within a few days. He was declared as ān si, pulled to the square in the center of the city and beheaded. Below is the voice of Gaul civilians who have heard countless times how cruel Northwestern people are.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The guillotine above is a prisoner waiting to be executed. There was a miserable howl of men, women and children.

The guillotine, indeed, when it is set up, it is enough to have a dazzling ability. The whole city is jubilant. In the eyes of the Gauls, the northwester on the stage has no distinction between the old and the young, only the enemy’s. Label, watching a head pop out of the body, bright red blood sprayed out of the headless chest like a fountain, the enthusiasm of the Gauls is mobilized, it seems that there is a war ahead, and the Gauls are victorious, They piled up the decapitated heads to express their contempt for the enemy country that emerged in the northwest, but they completely ignored that many of these people are the enemies of the northwest

This month, the morale of the Gauls has been greatly improved. According to the Ministry of Intelligence, this thorough investigation has yielded great results, and the military and civilians have been inspiring. Countless people praised His Majesty as a generation of heroes. I really don’t know. After checking, I was shocked. It turned out that the Falcon Empire had so many ān elements lurking in Gaul. It was because of these ān elements that the empire was defeated!

Seeing the thin heads of the Falcon Empire ān rolling around, and hearing some random hymns made up to praise, the Emperor Gaul was very excited. He saw that his own person was in this catastrophe without moving his roots. The Ministry of Military Affairs was concerned about the intelligence The results reported by the Ministry are appreciated for the first time,

The emperor’s affairs officer Algernon Julia expressed satisfaction with the large amount of stolen money collected. The empire’s fiscal deficit can disappear for a period of time, and the emptied materials and ordnance can also be replaced. As for the death, but Not really ān fine, who cares! This is a happy ending, but it is a catastrophe for the people in the Northwest. To be precise, it is a huge disaster for the aristocratic class in the Northwest that opposes the Falcon Empire.

More than 4,000 nobles from the northwest were arrested, together with the family members and servants of these nobles, as many as 20,000 people. From mid-July to mid-August, every trip in Gaul The province is killing people and heads are rolling, but Algernon Julia still has some opinions on the thorough investigation of the intelligence department in the military. The results are very few, and some guards, alcoholics, etc., are the result of the intelligence department. Ability, in the end, in order to show that the intelligence department is not eating dry food, Harlan decided to catch a big fish to quell the dissatisfaction of the emperor's affairs officer

"Is it this person? The culprit that led to the defeat of the Empire!"

Because of the smooth battle of the North, the Imperial Conference was held in a brisk atmosphere for the first time. The young Gaul emperor sat on the main seat in the middle, his face was rosy, and his eyes were bright and scary. If you look at it, you will find that the emperor’s eyes have strong red sè, like blood flowing inside, a bit crazy omen

"Your Majesty, it is this person, it is simply a malignant tumor that has been mixed into our emperor's team!" Harlan looked respectful, and then described this person's evil deeds

The position of this person is just right! There is no problem with identity~IndoMTL.com~ The three military undersecretaries who participated in the meeting glanced at each other calmly, and reached a tacit agreement in private. This guy Harlan did a good job, since that woman glanced at each other. Withstand the military, then give her a result,

The battle for the northern part of the empire has stabilized as a whole. There is no point at all for one more general named Figueros.

Born from the most notorious Norman in the west, Pingrili showed contempt for the Gaul soldiers in private,

In the Battle of the North, this guy defeated half of the Slavs’ army in one fell swoop, and finally attempted to take advantage of the Slavs’ stronghold Nagould’s great contribution!

What a heinous guy, doesn't he know that it is already grace for a Northwester to sit on the position of general, and he dares to contaminate such monstrous merit as Nagould!

"Such a person, what are you still doing! Execution immediately! No, come to Beijing, I will personally see such a villain's head fall to the ground"

Emperor Gaul’s voice was filled with murderous anger, and his **** eyes wanted to kill. He didn't expect that there would be such a heinous person in his army. )
