Power and Empire Chapter 1887: Tolerate sacrifice (1)
In the morning in sparse forest area, the fog is very heavy, and there is still white snow on the ground. In the early spring of January, the light shines from the canopy sparse forest above. Hundreds of black empires wearing red cloaks are majestic and imposing. The cavalry guards stand in two rows, with a gorgeous black carriage in the middle,
A chubby, black-haired young man, with piercing eyes, handed the letter in his hand to his wife who was about to board the car and said apologetically, "It seems that I need you to go to Putao again, although I know you don’t really love the so-called hometown, the so-called family, but this time we need to rely on the power of the family!"
"It's okay!"
The wife gently accepted the letter, glanced at her husband charmingly, and asked softly
" In fact, I believe that the family is also eagerly waiting for this opportunity to allow them to be on the mainland stage again! Take the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between the girl who was just sent to the Women’s College and you? Compared with imperial strategy, as a wife, I am more concerned about the new woman appearing next to her husband. Although it is only a girl, please trust my vision. In the next few years, she must be a beautiful beauty! If your majesty If I am really interested, I can focus on what I cultivate!"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just an accident!"
Fatty's face was reddened, and he shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment. "To be honest, if I knew that Hasen Rambo only has a daughter and not a son, I would not look for it. I believe Hasen Rambo would prefer her daughter to grow up peacefully. Big, find a good person to marry and have children, instead of getting involved in a lot of trouble one day."
" Calmness belongs only to ordinary people. The surname of Hasen is destined to be uncommon in Gaul! If it were not for your majesty, she might only wither like the morning dew. Your majesty should know better than me, even if the empire expresses its view of the past The respect of the enemy, the nobles of Gaul and Kyoto will not be left behind!"
Turritt Colleen buried her head in the fat man’s arms, her pretty face pressed against her broad chest. With both hands around Fatty’s waist, fingertips sunk into the psoas muscles, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly. "But now that I know your Majesty’s intentions, I will try my best to guide her in the right direction, but it must be explained that there is something in her body that is different from others. Something different for girls... That's an indignation towards the whole world! Generally, only people who have experienced tragic family changes will have them. The shadows that fall from heaven to hell, or will accompany them all their lives. , I am not sure that I will succeed!"
"Okay, I should go!" Turritt Colleen let go of her hand reluctantly. He kissed the fat man’s cheek, and suddenly stretched out his white and alluring **** to press the fat man’s lips. "Don’t say goodbye or sadness, I am going home, not fighting, the one who is really going to the battlefield." People, it’s you!
"..."
The fat man took a deep breath, and the little witch Turrit Corin danced on the carriage like a black petal. A maid respectfully closed the carriage door from inside, and the carriage shook slightly. As the wheels turned, Turrett Colleen waved to the fat man in the carriage, and under the **** of hundreds of black armored cavalry, the carriage slowly moved towards the south side of the road. The general area of the destination is eight hundred miles away,
The route choice was arranged by the fat man. They are all coastal areas controlled by the empire. In this season, the offshore waters are still freezing. Storms in the open sea are impermanent, and although the land route is a bit more complicated, it is also the safest. Wait until the black carriage turns into a small black spot in the distance and gradually disappears,
"Are everything arranged?"
The fat man turned around and looked at the imperial general Hu Keqili, who had been waiting ten meters away, and asked in a condensed voice. General Hu Keqili, Zhongliangyang, hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty can rest assured. There will be garrisons along the way to take care of it! The road of the princess is absolutely safe. In terms of time, you can reach the Putao area in three days!"
"Where's Lidakus? It's been two days, are you there yet?" The fat man nodded and walked to the Guangping on the side of the road, where a dozen war horses were looking for grass seeds under the snow. The fat man was here to send the picture. Ritcolin went to the south to generalize. This is a contest between two great empires. One has just swept the northern part of Obaro and became the veritable Lord of the North, and the other ruled the world, after establishing the southern hegemony. Attack the central part to shock the entire Central European and Baro region
"It hasn't arrived yet. It will take at least three days to go from Dahaicheng in the northwest to the coastal area and enter the open forest area!"
Hukoqili replied with a respectful look, "It’s the Lord Salton who just reported that the Istanian army gave up the confrontation and is evacuating to the south in an orderly manner. It seems to have been taken by our army’s prestige, for the time being. No war will be declared against us! Salton asks your Majesty whether our army can withdraw to the borders. If we continue to adopt an over-pressing strategy, I am afraid that it will become the heart of the Istanbul people!"
"Tell Salton that the tactics will not change." The fat man waved his hand dismissively. "Not only can the frontline troops not retreat, but they also have to follow the Istanbul Army for fifty miles to stop the army and clear all the strategic points on the border between Congo and Africa. Our army still maintains an offensive posture!"
"This..."
Hukoqili looked astonished, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, this is why, in the case of the withdrawal of the Istanbul troops, they have to assume a reluctant combat posture. Salton's worries are not without. In fact, it is the time when the morale of the Istanbul army that is just outside of Kyoto is like a rainbow, and it is pressing too hard. It may cause the Istanbul army to fight back at any time!
"Don't worry, the Istanbul people made a fortune in Gangfei Xinjing. Now they are delicate and expensive, and they are no longer the master of revenge. They must be the one who is afraid of looking for him!"
Fatty looked at the distant horizon, and said coldly, "Salton is known as a remnant lion. He is good at dragging the enemy into a deadly battle with inferior forces. Therefore, he is always accustomed to preparing for the inferior side in combat. , On the contrary, it will expose the reality of our army! Our army has always been strong, and it is the most stupid way to evacuate immediately after seeing the evacuation of the Istanbul!"
" And if the Istanians retreat southward, it does not necessarily mean giving up!"
The fat man's voice stopped, touched his chin, and said in a decisive tone, "Don’t forget, the Istanbul army that broke through the Gangfei is just part of the entire Istanbul army that invaded Gangfei."
"The strategic goal of the Istanbul people has been achieved. At this time, continuing to occupy the northern part of Congo will only make themselves a target of the entire Central European and Baro countries."
" The Central European and Baro countries that were able to stay on the sidelines before, saw that the Congolese Empire was so vulnerable, they would act immediately, even if they were huge elephants. They couldn’t resist the hungry wolves. Giving up part of the gains they have acquired to divert the attention of the nations and regrouping their forces is the real reason why the Istanbulians choose to withdraw!"
"Yeah, why didn't I expect it!" Hu Keqili suddenly realized it,
This is a game between the monarchs of two great powers. It is beyond the vision of his general, not to mention regional famous generals like Salton. "Your Majesty orders the same tactics! The whole army will follow up for fifty miles!" As the order was communicated, although he was puzzled. Salton, who was in charge of front-line operations, still meticulously implemented Fatty’s orders.
The 200,000 emperor army on the front line of the forest, following the border line that the retreating Istanbul army has crossed, has been trailing behind the Istanbul army for twenty miles, and the two armies are full of tacit understanding. , The Istanbul army stops, the Falcon army stops, and the Istanbul army advances. The Falcon Army marches forward,
The battle flags of the two armies are facing each other far away, and the armor is like snow, making the Istanbul army nervous. The scout cavalry on both sides shuttled back and forth, and even staggered together. Because neither side had issued a combat order, the scout cavalry of the two empires could only use fierce eyes to watch out for the opponent’s whereabouts.
"Asshole. The army of the Falcon Empire is too arrogant! Our army should teach it a lesson." The generals in Istanbul expressed their anger at this and demanded a turn around.
"Continue to withdraw! No" The emperor Thoradin I of Istanbul was very calm and ordered to continue southward as usual. As the Fatty guessed, the withdrawal was originally a temptation for him. If the Falcon Empire immediately withdrew to the border line after its retreat, it shows that the fact that the main force of the Falcon Empire is still in the Gaul Kyoto is true, then what is in front of him is A group of colorful and miscellaneous troops, relying on their regular army's combat power, can completely defeat in World War I, and then break into the southwestern area of the Falcon Empire, which is known as the richest in Obaro.
On the other hand, if the opponent behaves aggressively, proving that the heavy army in front of him is indeed the true elite of the Falcon Empire, he will show such a spirit of not afraid of the first battle. In the evening, it will be 200,000. Army mobilization, if this represents the true strength of the northern king of the north, then one's own combat power for the northern Falcon Empire needs to be reassessed.
"Father, do we really just give up the area that we have finally taken over?" The young crown prince expressed puzzlement on the road
"Our army is only 110,000 people, so we can't hold on to the entire north of Congo!"
Emperor Thoradin I smiled slightly, raised his whip and said, “Although the land is good, it’s useless if it can’t be held, and the Central European and Baro nations will not just sit by and watch us swallow the whole thing, unless we are ready to fight with the whole In the battle of Central Europe and Baro, we must resist the military strength of the Falcon Empire from the north, otherwise we must know the choice!"
"Choose?" The young crown prince was taken aback for a moment
The emperor Thoradin waved his horse whip, pointed Jiangshan's tone and said, "Don’t look at the wind and water that we played in Central Europe. In fact, the current Central Europe area has long been full of chess pieces. The big chessboard, as a chess player, or as a **** in it! This is a monarch that really needs to be considered"
"At this point, the Falcon Empire in the North is obviously stronger than us, and it has almost effortlessly pulled up the northern military alliance. Now it is even more powerful than us. Once we lose the battle with it, Have you ever wondered how those countries waiting for opportunities will treat us?"
The emperor Thoradin's whip fell, his voice stopped, his eyes turned to look at his son like a sword, with a sense of trial!
" Those guys will surely beat down the dog, my army of 200,000 can only be able to return home less than one-tenth! "The impetuous face of the young crown prince suddenly became serious, feeling cold behind his back, and could be taken away. The heirs cultivated by the Latin emperor for many years are naturally not enthusiastic fools. If you go first, you will still have a bit of dissatisfaction and arrogance. Now he feels that the situation is not as optimistic as he had imagined. He can feel that the king of falcons in the north is Hovering above the sky, with sharp eyes staring at his every move, a little discomfort is an impossible situation.
" So we can’t risk fighting in the Falcon Empire without knowing it! Because we can’t afford to fail before the two armies converge! "The corner of Emperor Thoradin’s mouth showed a satisfying smile, and the performance of the crown prince made him Satisfied, young, passionate, ambitious, and restrained.
The most important thing is that it has begun to look at the problem with the eyes of a king,
The king is born and acquired,
Some people are born with kingliness. Just look at the seven-year-old emperor who has just been out of the empire. You know what a good king seedling, who grows up in adversity, is neither humble nor overbearing, if he can get the correct guidance. Twenty years later, he must be the talent of a generation of heroes. Unfortunately, the great power will fall, the pillars will collapse, and there will be no emperor who guides the way. Even if this little emperor is like this, his performance is far better than many people, and he still has not escaped from the ordinary. In the scope of people, no one taught this little emperor. What is a ruthless king, and what is a loveless king,
The ruthless one must calmly face any difficulties and make decisive choices. Even if it’s a painful choice, what is sentimental is to one’s own country and able to take the responsibility of the entire country,
A monarch who has never experienced the pain of opening up a territory. No one would understand the hardships of the ancestors wading through the thorns and thorns on the ground, every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, the picturesque landscape. There have always been countless ministers who used the sea to fill up landslides and filled them out with corpses. Gaolu Xinjing gave up when he said that he gave up, and even the northern part of Gaul gave up most of it. It is ruthless and outrageous, just to get rid of the strategic disadvantage. , In fact, lost the hearts of the people who gathered only after hard work, and the prodigal was defeated to such an extent. If the emperors of Gangfei were born with aura, I'm afraid they would cry bitterly.
The southern city of Gangfei Empire, Besuka
The streets are sparsely populated, people hurry on the road, and acquaintances dare not talk when they meet, only dared to show each other with their eyes. The streets are full of patrolmen dressed in dark colors. The Emperor Gangfei is currently in this city. The citizens have a deep understanding of the emperor’s majesty. In order to strengthen the vigilance, even during the daytime, he is in the military control stage. The sky above the city is filled with a depressive and heavy atmosphere, as if before the rainstorm came. , The black clouds have covered the blue sky,
A manor surrounded by vine walls. In appearance, it is no different from the nearby manor,
The only special thing is that there is a flag of Gangfei flying above the tallest building in the yard, and military adjutants are constantly entering and exiting nervously with papers and news. This is the Ministry of Military Affairs of Gangfei, the emperor who is temporarily relocated. Under the persuasion, he agreed to abandon Xinjing, and the Ministry of Military Affairs of Congo and Africa had to move with it.
As the base camp for commanding the battle against the Istanbul, everyone here faces the current situation with all kinds of complex emotions,
One year ago, the Emperor Gaul died. Out of a strategic decision, he abandoned Kyoto in the coastal area and moved back to the old Kyoto that had been away for thirty years, and changed his name to Gangfei Shinkyo. One year later, In order to reverse the unfavorable situation of fighting with the Istanbul, once again gave up Kyoto, moved to Besuka, the accompanying capital, and moved to Beijing twice in two years. For the soldiers, there is no great shame to compare. Now the Congolese and African soldiers have Reconsider the benefits of Rubin Sack, the old empire coach who died as a traitor,
If this old marshal, known as the ridge of justice, is still there, he will certainly not let the Istanbul people go crazy here. With his great prestige in the military and political circles, he will never allow the emperor to be bewitched by ministers. Moved to Beijing again, and slashed once again on the foundation of a country that was already badly injured.
The Gaul Military Affairs Department learned from the pain and decided to re-enable a group of officers from the Rubinsack camp. This is the wealth that the old marshal left to the empire. It is the elite of the army that grew up ten years ago. Experienced the baptism of war, but because of the sudden assassination of the old marshal and the change of camps, these generals and officers with rich combat experience were sent to the southern region. Most of the generals who were newly appointed were mostly chanting slogans. The interests of the party supported the superiors and the command ability was low, which made the Battle of the North unsightly.
In an office, Mekaya, commander of the Ninth Corps of Gangfei, who was reactivated, raised his head and watched as a military adjutant walked in with his body covered in snow and cold wind. The southern city of Besuka is where the 9th Army base camp is located
The military adjutant took off his cloak, bowed his body and said, "My lord!"
"You don't need to have so many polite gifts. Is there any news for today's prince meeting?"
Mekaya is dressed in military uniform. The slender dark blue officer wears a golden general badge on his collar. His bald head and light black skin give a feeling of rigidity. The eyebrows are thick like two black dots and a burly figure. A tiger back and a bear waist~IndoMTL.com~The eyes are bright, energetic and full of vitality, standing there like steel,
As a member who was highly valued by the old coach Rubin Sack at the beginning, he still remembers the old coach Rubin Sack’s words to "tolerate sacrifice" The old coach is no longer there, and this sentence has become the best comment on the current situation. Tolerate sacrifices, teacher, if you face such a situation, how should you deal with it?
Is it really necessary to push the situation to the point where it is impossible to retreat like the rumored battle of supporting the king, so that everyone will truly fight to the death!
"Sure enough, as the adults had guessed, the Istanians did not go to war with the Falcon Empire! They only evacuated after just contacting them!"
The deputy military officer looked a little frustrated, and took a few drops of water from the opposite side. "The ministers who are only full of ideas have already made a fuss,
They strongly accused the military of unfavorable operations at the Imperial Conference, which led to the abandonment of Kyoto,
Without mentioning a word, they were crying and begging the emperor to abandon the new capital, and they also promised that they would be able to turn the tide of the war and make the Istanbul people fall into the water! "
" I heard that when I asked to abandon Kyoto, these ministers made a living and death, right?" Mecaya asked with a cold expression
" It’s true, but my lord, you don’t really think..." The military adjutant looked at Mecaya’s red eyes and shuddered.
