Power and Empire Chapter 1854: Gaul Kyoto (2)
The Battle of Funas Lake changed the situation of the entire Gaul Kyoto. The fat man’s intention was to put pressure on Gaul Kyoto by breaking into the Funas Lake area, forcing the Gauls to transfer the support troops that had been sent to the north. He came back, but the result received on the second day was the high-level change of Gaul’s generals caused by the result of this battle. The famous Gaul Alder, who has always performed well, was replaced by a man named Derek. The information in his hand was gently placed on the table in the camp. The fat man leaned against the bonfire on the other side and asked Hu Keqili, who sent the information, "Who is this Derek? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"It's the Deputy Chief of the Military Department appointed by Gaul Kyoto this month!" Hu Keqili patted the snow on his body, walked towards the fire, and replied with a somewhat disdainful expression, "It is said that he was once in eastern Gaul. He has fought a war, but he has no reputation. If it is worthy of boasting, it is a dazzling qualification. I have specifically investigated. He has held 16 positions in the army, logistics, intelligence, and garrison. I even stayed in the etiquette team. It took more than 20 years to finally get into the Gaul Military Ministry. I was planning to retire after three years. There is no future, but I don’t know what. The reason is that at the beginning of this month, a part of the wealthy members of Gaul Kyoto suddenly went uncharacteristically, and jointly promoted this person to the position of deputy chief of the military affairs department! Now playing like this again, it is really incomprehensible"
Hu Keqili’s voice paused, his deep eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his head swayed in confusion. "It’s too puzzling. It’s a man who has never had real combat experience, and even lacks his appeal. The guy's push to such an important position as the chief of the Kyoto line of defense is the preparations made by the riches of Kyoto for the pre-work of Alder, who has long been displeased, and has another profound meaning."
"To be honest, I can't see through "Fatty smiles helplessly in front of the fire" because he hasn't specifically adjusted this person, but now he is confused. The other party's sudden The change of generals has played a very good role, that is, the nearly 50,000 people of the central army in the empire that we have penetrated into the Funas Lake area temporarily stopped advancing here. The weather is too bad, but fortunately there are large swaths of nearby lakes. Our army in the forest can still make a fire and persist, but it’s hard to tell if the time exceeds ten days,
Fatty said that some squadrons are already responding to the frostbite of the soldiers. It seems that this raid has completely disrupted their deployment. In addition, the entire line of defense arranger Alder has an accident and must now be in a mess. Ten I'm afraid I won't calm down in the sky! "
"Where is Saran? Is there any response to the situation there?" the fat man asked
"Saron’s legion temporarily stopped at a location far from the northern town of Antura, ⒑, and the news came back that the Gaul really secretly mobilized heavy troops in the direction of Antura. On the front, the Gaul army has exceeded 80,000, and some local Gaul troops are gathering towards Antura! It was visually observed that there will be more than 100,000 troops at the end." Hu Keqili took a deep breath and snorted. "That should be Gaul's guild forces in the northern region. I don't know if Salon can hold it! If we are beaten back by the Gauls, our army may be caught in a two-sided embarrassment!"
"Do you want to strike on both sides?"
The fat man picked up a thin branch next to the fire, and struck a few times in the white ash of the fire that had been burning all night. He seemed to have thought of something, rubbed his cold hands, and suddenly raised his head to Hu Keqili Said, "Gaul Kyoto must be chaotic right now. Their line of defense should be to stop our army from approaching Gaul Kyoto, and the goal of the Gaul northern army is to stop Salon. If our army turns around, it cuts off the Gaul northern army with one blow. On the back road, encircle with Salon and eat the Gaul's troops in the north. The situation will be completely reversed at that time!"
"The whole army marches northward? How strong is our army's rock fort?"
Hu Keqili heard his eyes light up and thought that the success of this plan was very great. The Gaul army in the north would not think of the enemy coming up from the back, but if the troops from Kyoto moved northward, it would mean The wall rock fort, known as the gateway to Kyoto, will face all pressure from Gaul Kyoto.
"Tell me, based on your experience of fighting against the Gaul Kyoto for a month, if the wall rock fort falls into the hands of the Gauls, will they use it as a base to fight back?" The fat man sneered and asked back
"No!" Hu Keqili hesitated for a moment, thinking and shook his head and said, "Because they don't have enough troops and adequate preparations to counterattack, let alone the other armies of the empire are moving in the direction of Gaul Kyoto. On the contrary, if the north falls, the only option for the Gauls to avoid falling into domestic and foreign difficulties is to take the initiative to abandon the rock fort like last time!"
"Haha, take the initiative to give up. The fat man stood up with a high expression and licked his chapped lips" You said so easily! How can it be so easy to give up what you get. "
"En? Your majesty meant to say...
. . . . . "Hu Keqili was a little surprised to hear that,
Fatty looked at the flying snow outside the tent, and asked slowly, "If you were to choose a battlefield, would you choose Gaul Kyoto or Wall Rock Fort?"
" Naturally, it is a wall rock fort! "Hukochili's eyes lit up. "I have been stationed in the wall rock for more than a month, and the terrain there is clear even with my eyes closed. The Gaul-Kyoto line of defense is Aldehua. It took more than a month and used hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of labor to build it. It is not an exaggeration to call it a copper wall and iron wall, but the wall rock fortress is different. It is just an old fortress that has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain. ! But how can we be sure that the Gauls would choose the wall rock fort instead of laying the strong Kyoto line of defense?"
"Normally, but now. That's why it is said that the sky is going to destroy Gaul..." The fat man smiled coldly, and took his gaze away from the account. "Don't forget, the chief in charge of the Kyoto Defense Line." Already replaced, he is no longer an experienced Alder, but a rookie without much actual combat experience,
He is not without the aura and record that Alder can overwhelm the generals, nor is he a celebrity with rock-solid conviction and resistance to all temptations. This Drake came from the report, it should be An agent jointly launched by the giants of Kyoto, because it is not well-known, it is easy to control, and the seniority is long enough, so it can replace Alder as the person in charge of the Kyoto line is actually a newcomer who is nothing but seniority, so as long as there is Opportunity, in order to consolidate his position, in order to let the masters behind him support him more vigorously, this Draco must be extremely eager to win a victory that would lay his fame. That victory is the Wall Rock Fort, which is the gateway to Kyoto. It is a strategic point that makes the Gauls dream of wanting to regain it. The re-occupation of the wall rock fort does not have much strategic effect, but it has an immeasurable effect on the long-lost Gaul people's heart and military spirit! "
"Your Majesty said... I want to take the initiative to send him the wall rock fort!" Hu Keqili asked with his listening eyes popping through the mouth
He is also an experienced warrior. He quickly understood the fat man’s intentions, and he was very excited. His majesty was clever, and he was always thinking about how to smash the incomparably hard tortoise shell of Gaul Kyoto. , Your Majesty directly thought of pulling the opponent out of the tortoise shell and beheading!
"How can I recognize it as a gift? The opponent is a super star that is rare in a century! There are more than 200,000 troops under his command. We can only defend two or three birdies. We can't beat them. Don't run and wait for death!" Fatty He shook his head, jokingly stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder,
Fatty didn’t go on, but the smile on the corners of his mouth caused giants like Hu Keqili to get goosebumps, and he had to take it. He has been shocked by His Majesty Falcon’s plan to not lose money too many times. , This time it still made Hu Keqili’s forehead a cold sweat
At the time when Jinger was in danger and the whole people were depressed, suddenly there was such a big reversal. The Gauls would be ecstatic, and they would counterattack and take down the gate of the wall rock fort, eliminating the Gaul’s dream of eliminating Kyoto. Dangerous Lord Drake, at that time must be recognized as a star who turned the tide,
and this is actually the most terrifying place in His Majesty’s plan,
As long as a person has fame and self-concept, he will give birth to too much attachment, and attachment is the greatest instinct of a soldier. In any case, he can't give up, fight to the death, and most of the soldiers who die in battle are like this. , The last thing many celebrities think of when they are dying is persistence. Victory may be in the next second
Hu Keqili is also a famous player who has come from the rookie stage. He was able to persevere in many cruel offensive and defensive battles. What he holds in his heart is the belief that he can't give up in any way. If you put yourself in Germany At a position like Laque, he suddenly changed from an unknown person to a famous general, and then asked him to give up the wall rock fort without entanglement, so that Gaul Kyoto once again faced the embarrassment of being near the city. It would be better to kill him. Happy"
The opponent will mobilize all the troops in Kyoto to defend the wall fortress with all their strength! Then he was blasted into dregs by Thor, who is known as the invincible Falcon Army. Hu Keqili was almost certain of this, amazing! It’s terrible to retreat. A wall rock fort with no value was replaced by a 200,000 Gallic Kyoto army. Although it was a cold winter, Hu Keqili felt sweaty and cold." Order the army to rest for one day, prepare enough food and water for ten days, and move north tomorrow! "The fat man walked to the entrance of the tent and gave orders to the guards outside
In a gloomy interrogation room in Kyoto, Gaul, an interrogator was reading Alder’s illegal crimes, including arbitrarily mobilizing the army, improper command causing heavy casualties to friendly forces, forcibly recruiting war materials, and mobilizing labor. A series of crimes such as apportioning military expenses,
"Do you have any objections to this?"
The interrogator put down a full-foot hòu in his hand, and his voice echoed in the interrogation room coldly and mercilessly. This is a secret room where no sunlight can be seen. The hòu solid stone walls have become green because of perennial dampness, and they hang on the walls. With all kinds of instruments of torture,
Arder, wearing a linen prison uniform, looked numbly at the ceiling above his head, as if he hadn’t heard the interrogator chanting for more than an hour at all,
In his mind, he was still recalling what Nujak Ore told him when he left, “It’s not that we want you to die, but the entire Gaul Kyoto wants you to die! Stay in the special cell of the Superintendent of the Guards. Here, it’s better than taking those who have chosen a killer and waiting for you to go in some prisons, at least no one here wants your life! Even if you want your life in, we will kill you first! Here, you are the safest!"
"Alder, do you admit these crimes.
If you admit it, write your name here! "
The interrogator impatiently reminded him that he pushed the criminal record and pen in front of him. He was only ordered to come. In fact, the result of signing or signing is the same. The sinner Alder will be responsible for a series of crimes. Being imprisoned for sixty years, this is the first time it has been recorded by Tianhuang. You must know that in this interrogation room there has always been one half-determination, and he should be put to death immediately! Before the verdict is issued, the Supervision Department has the power to detain indefinitely, so except for the dead, people are detained indefinitely. These people may be guilty or innocent. Just as the inspection department said, time It is also a way to test whether the other party is guilty
"Crime? Sixty years..."
Yar’s numb eyes swept across the scrolls on the table, his pupils tightened slightly, and the crimes recorded on it made him speechless, and the half-decision was even more speechless. He has been more than forty this year, and the half-decision in sixty years. , Does the other party want to lock themselves to a hundred years old? At first glance, it is from Nujak Ore’s handwriting
He took a closer look at the so-called crimes, all of which were witness testimonies provided by Kyoto nobles
In August, hundreds of thousands of refugees who fled to Kyoto were mobilized to build the outer defensive line of Kyoto. Because the treasury was almost exhausted, Alder used the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs to distribute the money to the noble imperial nobles. In mid-August, In order to suppress the remnants of the 300,000 Slavs who fled south, Alder mobilized nearly 200,000 people from the Gaul Northern Army to chase and intercept them. Instead of achieving results, he was defeated by the Salon Army marching north in one fell swoop, killing and wounding thousands of soldiers. With many people, the Salon North Army took the opportunity to fully enter the north of the Gaul Empire in September. . . . . . . Taking the initiative to abandon the wall rock fort was a very serious half-breaking error, which caused the entire Gaul Kyoto to fall into panic and crisis. . . . . After the crimes are written the opinions of colleagues in the Military Affairs Department, without exception, they are written "Guilty"
"Damn, these bastards!" Alder cursed in a low voice,
"Let’s sign, I’m short on time, I have to go to a dinner party, I don’t have much time to spend with you here!" The interrogator said in a vicious voice again, Alder's face was surprisingly calm, and his hands were slightly slightly I tremblingly picked up the pen on the table, served in the army for decades, went to battlefields where I didn’t know if I could survive, killed enemies that I couldn’t believe, and picked up the sharpest sword. Heavy, the nib squatted heavily on the signature position, took a deep breath, and finished in one go!
The white snow drifted outside the window. There was a cruel chill in the wind.
The quiet and narrow alley where the Imperial Guard’s Inspectorate is located is covered by snow. The old eaves are covered with white, with white ice hanging upside down, blocked by closed narrow windows. The intrusion of the wind and snow, the three umbrellas were opened in the wind and snow, and the snow fell on the umbrella and made a crackling sound. Two officers of the Guards stood there, and Nujak Ore stood in front of him in a straight uniform. In the snow,
" My lord, Alder really refused! "The interrogator walked up from the tunnel exit with an ugly face, and handed the paper signed by Alder to Nujak Ore, where he should sign. Nujak Ole saw that it said "He who is the country is not guilty!
" It’s too arrogant, does he think this is his legionary department? My lord, go to the torture. I’ve said that self-righteous soldiers like him don’t need a whip to tell them that bones can be cracked. , They won’t choose to surrender!” A Guards officer standing in Nujak Ore took it, angrily threw the paper on the ground, and stepped heavily on his foot
"Lake"
Nujak Ole glanced at the thunderous officer and said in a cold voice, "If Alder, who fought against Madame 100,000 with 30,000 troops in the difficult times of the empire, is a cartilage, then we stay in Kyoto. What kind of person is this? I don’t want to hear such arguments. After all, he is the one who once saved the entire country."
"What if it saves the country? Those are his previous behaviors. Now he has committed serious crimes!"
The Guards officer said with an angry expression, "My lord~IndoMTL.com~ It took you so much to get the riches to agree to compromise. If you don’t get Alder’s confession now, we are The laughing stock of Kyoto!"
"Let’s take a look at the prison first. Actually, the confession is just a cheap cloth!" Nujak-Ore picked up the pen indifferently, and signed the confession that was drafted as a spare. "De" and said to the interrogator, "Okay, send it to the military department, don't they just want a legitimate reason to let Alder step down? Now they are satisfied, remember to give both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Finance Send it off once, how come these flies are not drowned by this snow!"
"My lord, then we have an exchange agreement with the rich..." the interrogator asked hesitantly
"It's just as effective, I will release those on the list who are imprisoned!"
Nujak Orei nodded. As a special censorship department, the Imperial Guard’s Supervision Department has held more than 100 wealthy children over the years, with various charges, such as espionage, collaborating with the enemy, and trafficking in intelligence. Fornicating with the boss’s wife, etc.
As a condition for Alder to live, Nujak Ore agreed to exchange with these people, and according to the opinions of the rich, Alder could not appear in his lifetime, so the half-determination is sixty years, no one will I think that in the harsh environment of prison, Alder can last too long.
