Power and Empire Chapter 1924: The Empire’s Counterattack (8)
In the conference hall of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Congo, a whole row of generals sitting side by side straightened up, not daring to squint at all, like two rows of statues, a battle report from the southern coast was placed at the end of the long table, the imperial marshal , Secretary of Military Affairs Marcos’s face was as white as paper, and the interlaced hands on the report trembled slightly,
"What do you think of this battle?" Marcos asked in a deep voice, his eyes were chilling, and the whole conference room was silent. No one dared to say anything. Quietly, only the sound of wind blowing through the hall was heard. , Who dares to take the lead? Gang Fei’s generals were really scared this time.
The core of the Battle of the South, the Bavuni fortress stationed by 60,000 elite troops, ended in such a comical ending. We are still discussing how to make the invincible Falcon Emperor go to the southern coast. I met on the road with a **** head and a faceless face. When I turned around, I received a sad reminder from the south
The 60,000 army was collapsed by the emperor with 10,000 troops. The southern barrier of Bavuni fortress was lost. Boai Casa, known as the master of defense, fought to the death
"How is it possible? How is it done?"
The generals were completely dumbfounded by this military report, and all kinds of questions and confusion filled everyone's minds.
In order to prevent the Falcon Empire from advancing southward, the Empire invested all its reserve forces, an army of 60,000 people, guarding the strong fortress, waiting for work, desperately fighting, even if it is a hundred thousand Falcon army, It may not be possible to break through so quickly, but the bright red battle report stated innocently that the sixty thousand army with a large fortress was defeated by ten thousand falcons in one day. . . . . . If this kind of thing does not come from a rigorous battle report, the generals will think who is joking, and who believes this kind of thing! Who can imagine! Everything here is piercing the nerves of the Congolese and African soldiers
"Ahem. Is there anything you can do about it?"
Marcos glanced over, saw the generals bow their heads, and grunted with dissatisfaction. The old palms full of veins patted the battle report again. "The battle of the South is about the future of the empire. Although we lost the Bavuni fortress, it is not completely irreparable. As long as our army speeds up the invasion of General Tau, we can completely reverse the situation before the Falcon Empire can control the entire southern coast. But we can’t. Sit back and watch the Falcons move southward smoothly!"
"My lord, we still have 10,000 troops on the southern coast. The commander is Lord Andya. The subordinates think it is better to ask Lord Andya to take over the battle behind! In addition, we will temporarily bring a few nearby provinces. Let’s arrange the local troops to fight as a reserve team!” A Gangfei general hesitated and said cautiously, “It’s difficult to defeat the Falcons marching south, but it’s just a matter of delay, and the local troops will be able to help. The role of the army may be greater than that of the regular army!"
"Yes, the opposing army is good at guerrilla warfare, and Lord Andya is also very experienced in combat. If the two can work together, it will not fail the hope of the empire." Another general said in agreement, appearing A little weird
"Should the local army be mobilized so that Andyah will face the doubled Falcon army with ten thousand troops?"
Marcos raised his eyebrows and tapped his hand gently on the table. He knew that Andya was reactivated and appointed as the commander-in-chief of the South Coast. Many generals were dissatisfied, but these generals were still Don’t forget to pierce Andia deeply from behind, which surprised him a bit,
was silent for a while, Marcos raised his head and said in a condensed voice, "This method is good, but the combat effectiveness of the local army is worrying...
. Will over-dependence be counterproductive? "
Marcos’s voice has not fallen, and a Gang Fei general has stood up and said in a righteous tone, "My lord, I ask to adjust my position to command the local army! When the empire was difficult, it was my generation. When the soldiers were fighting, I couldn’t bear my behavior of staying behind and doing nothing."
"Yes, the subordinates also asked to be transferred to the local army!" Another middle-aged general stood up, and the spirits said in a loud voice, "Even if you die in battle, it's better not to be suffocated here!"
Master , please transfer to the local army. "The generals sitting side by side keep getting up and looking eagerly
"You all asked to go to the local army?" Marcos's eyes narrowed a thin line, so many! So who else? Please stand up if you want to go! Brush, more people stand up,
Regarding this situation, Marcos did not show any surprise. The blood of soldiers should have been so hot!
The north fell, and many generals became nameless commanders. The southern army of the Empire has its own system and generals. It will not accept the intervention of these northern generals for the time being. For a while, the generals of these northern factions It’s almost becoming the empire’s heart disease. The lessons of the 1.12 Incident are there. If the soldiers’ resentment is not handled properly, it will turn into a **** conflict.
Soldiers’ blood is so hot that they can burn the enemy as well as their own people. Finally, Marcos proposed to the emperor that in order to let these generals feel that they were not left out by the empire, he proposed to use these generals to form a general war room, which is responsible for it. The emperor agreed to the arrangement and planning of various battles
" Okay, I'm going to report to your majesty too. I will present your eager requests to your majesty one by one!" Marcos stood up from the conference bench with satisfaction and looked away Almost a whole row of standing generals swept past, with a trembling voice. "I have nothing else to say. I just hope that when the empire is in crisis, you can abandon your previous suspicions and fight for the empire with all your strength! It is to be transferred to the local army. Your own requirements, the empire can give you positions, but the rest is up to you!"
"Yes!" The generals replied neatly, the ceiling of the hall with trembling voices hummed, and the body was as strong as a sword, so it would be nice to be able to give positions. Most of the generals were from the background of wealthy families and evacuated from northern Xinjing. The gold coins taken away are piled up with more than a dozen carriages. They are not short of money, what they lack is the opportunity to spend money
Coming out of the conference room, Marcos took a deep breath and looked up at the gray sky. The rainy season is coming, and the wind is chilly,
" I hope this is not a wrong decision." Marcos shook his head, hurriedly walked down the doorstep, and stepped onto the waiting carriage outside. The news of the defeat in the south has reached the emperor’s ears. The emperor needs an explanation. The empire needs an explanation. The biggest difficulty facing the empire now is the lack of troops.
Although the southern army has 200,000 troops, it is actually not enough. The empire needs more troops, but the forced recruitment of southern soldiers is afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction with the southern army factions. The collapse of the 60,000 army gave this opportunity. At this time, let these northern generals go down to develop the local army, and the southern army can’t make any suggestions. Moreover, the empire’s strength on the southern coast is now left with Andia’s ten thousand troops. The direction of the Falcon Empire Army, who had only ten thousand troops, was useless even if he was possessed by the God of War, not to mention that his opponent was a true God of War.
If the empire can use the local army to keep the Falcon Emperor trapped in the southern battle, it will be a victory in itself. It will be a boost to the morale of the empire’s soldiers who have fallen to the freezing point. In front of the emperor, Marcos described the plan again
" You mean to let the generals go down to expand the local army to make up for the imperial strength? Is that okay? The imperial should not have enough financial resources to equip these troops. , Blinked, and asked a little uncertainly,
The Minister of Finance cries poor every day, saying that he has no money, no money, and the crying child has a heart disease
Now the empire is going to counterattack general tactics again. Tens of thousands of troops have already been deployed, and the rations needed have only been collected less than half.
The nobles who fled to the new capital of the empire are busy bringing gold and silver jewelry. The carts and carts have almost taken away most of the empire’s financial resources, but no one would have thought that there is no food and no more money. Use,
Just after winter, there is not much leftover food on the market. The nobles who have been aware of something wrong have swept away. There is no food on the market. The food trade on the general set has stopped because of the war. Now it’s miserable. Prices have risen several times a day, and they are still hoarding in the hands of the powerful people in power. What kind of wars will the army fight without food? The Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs has issued an order to expropriate on the spot, which is a naked looting.
"This is something the generals need to consider. The empire gives powers to the generals, and the generals give power to the empire army. It’s that simple." Marcos said with a face as usual. He knew that this request would only be approved. Rumors of incompetence can be stopped,
Because he will completely get the full support of the military, and the military will be involved in the riches of all parties, and his position will only be more stable.
" Army? How many troops? "The little emperor’s excited tongue licked his chapped lips, a little nervous, and his eyes were green. The recent battered situation has made the little emperor fully feel the pain of insomnia, despite the war. For his little head, it is so far away. The numbers on the battle report and the definition of victory and defeat are far worse for a child who has grown up in a deep palace than seeing the flowers blooming in the spring breeze. People feel it,
But for the word army, I still feel it. In just one year, the empire has withered like this. Isn’t it a lack of an army? If the Empire has enough troops, will the Falcon Empire dare to fight itself? If there are enough troops, the Istanbul people dare to beat themselves? in case. . . . . . In the head of this poor child who was hailed as a natural king by Rubinsack, now there is only interest in the army and gold coins. If Rubinsack knows that the little emperor has been contaminated like this, he might be able to get out of the grave. jump out.
" The Congolese Empire has a total population of more than 40 million. Lost the northern area where the population is concentrated, and the total population of the South is more than 17 million. With such a population base, it should not be a problem to pull out a reserve team of one million people. , Anyway, it has reached such a point, how can I also need to fight "Marcos is very sure of the prediction, deliberately exaggerated a bit,
"Military Army!"
Sure enough, the eyes of the little emperor were so scared of people that they brightened up, and a small mouth became a reality. Form, there is no hesitation, what are you waiting for! The little emperor felt that he was alive again. The Falcon Empire, the Istan Empire, these **** who caused his toothache all day long, tremble in front of the empire's millions of troops, just because the little emperor tremblingly picked up his own. The seal is repeatedly stamped on the request,
Marcos took this report into his hands carefully and left quickly. The generals are still waiting,
"The millions of empires...
. . Haha! "The little emperor laughed fantasically in his study. In the face of this request, his little head did not realize what it meant. He allowed the generals to develop the local army, and the emperor, who was a central force, lacked Powerful enough to control,
The Lord is weak but the branches are strong!
If Rubin Sack is still there, he will definitely throw this report on the ground, angrily denounced, "This is a chaotic country, it is inciting division!" These are the two most representative powers at the end of the Congolese empire. The difference is that Rubin Sack is an outstanding soldier and a politician with outstanding vision. His eyes are always on the future of the empire.
And Marcos is a soldier, a pure soldier, even if he performs occasionally, he still hasn’t got rid of his military nature. The starting point for considering the problem is to deal with the current dilemma of the empire and lack a politician for the future of the empire. Foresight, like a horse-drawn carriage driver speeding on a difficult mountain road, Marcos finally let go of the empire that Rubin Sack had been working hard for and determined not to let go. The power of the empire began to be controlled like a horse-drawn carriage. The rein was broken and accelerated, and he could no longer control his speed on the rugged mountain road.
. . . . . .
Gang is not in the south, the Great Fortress of Barn, where 60,000 troops who had defeated the elite Falcon empire in World War I gathered here. The corpses in front of the fortress had been cleaned up, and the corpses were buried. The blood-stained land also showed an unnatural tragedy. As for the ditch that was set on fire, the corpses inside were burnt to ashes, and the dry black ditch surface seemed to be stained with frost, and the sound of horseshoes was heard. , Fatty stopped the horse in front of the fortress suspension bridge, and a black armored scout cavalry was galloping in the distance. He restrained the horse 20 meters away from Fatty, jumped off the horse, and ran over with a report.
"Your Majesty, an emergency report from the general set!" The scout cavalry said loudly, and a guard took the report and passed it to the fat man.
" Has it started? "The fat man took the report with a calm expression and opened his eyes,
" Your Majesty, is it..." Hu Keqili asked curiously from the side
" You can see by yourself! "The fat man handed the battle report to Hu Keqili next to him, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly
Hu Keqili took over the battle report, glanced over, and took a deep breath of surprise. "No way, the Congolese Army just broke into the northern part of Brent, killing 17 thousand civilians in Brent City. More than a thousand people, 5,700 civilians were killed in Rachel's massacre... Even if you know that Gang Feiren will take tough measures this time, you can't wait. Mouth...!"
"According to intelligence, the Congolese Empire has 60,000 troops entering the general set this time, and the rations they carry are less than half of what they need! No hurry, they are going to be hungry!" The fat man posed. With one hand, he rode on the fortress suspension bridge and said to the messenger behind him, "Order the whole army to rest and prepare to march north"
"Northward? Your Majesty, are we not going south?" Hu Keqili raised his head and said, "Your Majesty took down the southward barrier. The Congolese Empire had only 20,000 troops left on the southern coast. It's a chance to win the south coast in one fell swoop, why...
" Haha, that’s because attacking the southern coast is a hoax! "The fat man grinned, raised his whip and pointed it at the rolling hills in the distance, and said coldly," The Imperial Navy defeated the Strand Navy, Stewart The Rands expressed their compromise, and the southern coast of Congo is already in the bag of the empire.
If you need to occupy, you can easily use the fleet to transport troops from the general set. I don’t have to personally direct the battle of the south, forcing the Gangfei to gather the army to block it. It is so vigorous that everyone thinks we are. The sword refers to Gangfei on the southern coast. In fact, all this is to deceive Gangfei.
"Your Majesty said, our goal is not the southern coast at all!" Hu Keqili was surprised, where is that? Even his imperial general is confused, let alone just inhuman
"Not bad!" The fat man paused, glanced at Hu Keqili, who was full of thoughts beside him, and said, "Have you ever thought about it, our army is going south, Gang Fei immediately dispatched troops, almost all the preparations The troops are all held in Pu Tau, because Gang Fei people think that our army is going out with all their strength, and the Pu Tau area is empty and defenseless, but Gang Fei forgets that sending troops to Pu Tau has also overwhelmed all their troops~IndoMTL.com ~Now there is a defenseless place in front of my 40,000 army. At this time, if we don’t enter a nest north and end up with an inhuman court hall, isn’t it too sorry for the name of our army hall going south!"
Gangfei Chaotang was completely deep-fried this time. The Gangfei generals were silent one by one, and the ministers turned around in a hurry,
They just received the news that the 30,000 Falcon Empire infantry were postponed, and the 10,000 Falcon Empire’s sharpest guard cavalry forwards rushed straight forward like an arrow from the string, and the goal was directed at Besuka, where the Gangfei Dynasty was located ,
The Falcon Army occupied the southern fortress Bavuni in one fell swoop and defeated 60,000 blocking troops with a small number of troops. The news of the defeat in the blocking battle has just come. This explosive news once again shocked the entire court and the Falcon Army marched south. The legion turned into a northward marching regiment. The distance between the southern Bavuni fortress and Besuka is five hundred miles. Even the fastest report is sent to the Gangfei court, the iron hoof of the Falcon Empire’s guard cavalry. Like a storm, he has passed the Allawi Mountains, which is less than one hundred and fifty miles away from Besuka City. The advancing of the opponent can be described with great speed,
"How many troops do we currently have in Besuka?" The little emperor asked the military in a panic
" Your Majesty’s 3,000 guards and a garrison 5,000 people.” Marcos, the Imperial Marshal and Minister of Military Affairs, looked very ugly, and said in a deep voice, "Given the current situation, please do your Majesty as a last resort and prepare to move again. !"
" moved again... "The little emperor was full of resentment. (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@呓～丫] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation.
