Power and Empire Chapter 2145: Blood double 10 characters (4)
Fei Shan Wangdu
In the brightly-lit Gurat Banquet Hall, in the windows made of white marble, the bright moon hung in the half of the sky, piercing through the clouds like tulle, and throwing a silvery white to the ground below. On the balcony extending from the hall, an old man in an exquisite dress was gazing deeply at the city in front of him. The white hair on his head was illuminated by the moonlight, the roots of which were translucent, and the night was vast. Wanjia lights appeared in front of them, far and near, the dense lights spread like the ocean, until the sky was out of sight, the stars blinked above the earth, and the night fog was like smoke, hazy, and erratic. Xixi’s night breeze blows on his face, bringing the breath of late summer. Time does not seem to be passing here, only the old man’s heart is beating following the rhythm of the earth
"Your Majesty! Are you looking for me?"
A middle-aged man in a big red Feishan officer uniform appeared behind him. The middle-aged man had high cheekbones, long eyes, and a tall nose showing an aristocratic atmosphere different from that of the Central Europeans. , His eyes flickered with fierceness, standing there, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, but at this moment, this sharp sword seems to have lost its sharpness,
"Pastanon"
The old man turned around, his eyes paused on the middle-aged man, his face was slightly cold and he said, "As the only one in Feishan Kingdom who has participated in the Battle of Gangfei in the South, he has seen the true strength of the Falcon Emperor ** General Fei Shan, I don’t think your argument at the meeting was wrong, but it is very undesirable to blindly emphasize the strength of the enemy while ignoring your own strength! Tell me, for this battle, for the emperor, you Are you really so unconfident?
"Your Majesty" Duke Pastanon hesitated, and said, "The power of the Falcon Empire is obvious to all. It occupies almost one-half of the Western Continent and spans the vast area of Obaro in the north-central region. The powerful empire has become a big stone on the hearts of all contemporaries. Although Feshan has the advantage, to be honest, the war with the Falcon Empire at this time is really..." Pastanon said he stopped. I don’t know what to say for a while,
"Not optimistic, are you?"The old man's old eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trembling breath
" Yes, the subordinates are really not optimistic! "Pastanon summoned the courage to say loudly" Since our army defeated the Istanbul Army, the entire Feshan Kingdom has been like a blowout that has been suppressed for a long time. Victory, victory , Victory, the battle reports from the front line are like this, not only aristocrats, soldiers, even an ordinary Feishan will not hesitate to think that the Istanis have reached a desperate situation, Feishan is now not afraid of any opponents. Even the hundreds of thousands of Istanbul troops have been beaten down. Fei Shan has something to fear, and this kind of mentality is the most feared!"
"Really? Isn't the whole country a good one? Why do you think this way?"
The old man looked calmly into the distance. The towering city wall, the old city wall is covered with lush green vines. In places where green vines are scarce, mottled traces are revealed. It deeply records the vicissitudes of history. Some granite stones have become pitch-black. It is obvious that the traces of dilapidation can be seen, and some places have been Being smashed, it seems to be a trace of the war that took place many years ago. It gives people a deep sense of shock. From this, it can be seen that the environment of Fei Shan's capital is definitely not related to comfort and ease. I even feel a little bit hard,
"Your Majesty, although I don't know how to express it, but according to what I have seen in the south of Congo, the strength of the Imperial Army cannot be viewed with conventional eyes!" Pastanon looked hesitant. I took a deep breath and said, "Just at the imperial military meeting held just now, this state of top-down self-confidence was horrible. Most generals in the Ministry of Military Affairs said that the Istanbulites have already Not to be afraid, the real confidant of the kingdom now is that it is still entrenched in the coastal area of the 100,000 Falcon Emperor **. There is nothing wrong with this idea, but from top to bottom, it is believed that the 100,000 Emperor ** can be easily wiped out. That is the great Wrong!"
"Assemble troops before the Falcon Empire has time to react, is it right to eliminate this huge hidden danger in one fell swoop?" The old man frowned slightly, his hands turned back, and he walked a few steps back and forth on the balcony. I also read the combat report sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs. I didn’t think there was any problem at first, but I saw that there was no Pastanon’s name in the place where the general was signed. , After all, the only person in Feshan’s army who really fought against the Falcon Emperor was Pastanon.
Faced with this report, which is full of fanaticism throughout the film, the old man, with his years of experience, invisibly felt the sense of crisis
Pastanon smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the suggestion sounds good, but your Majesty knows that just five days ago, the main idea of the Ministry of Military Affairs was only to force the evacuation of the hundred thousand emperors. To fight the Falcon Empire, I still maintain a cautious attitude. It is not annihilation, beheading, etc., which is now permeating the entire report. It is full of words of overconfidence. The entire report seems to be as long as our army advances. , The Falcon Emperor on the opposite side will surrender or flee! This is a very terrible idea. Once the whole army has such an idea, the consequences will be unimaginable"
Pastanon’s voice paused, and his face solemnly continued, “In the Battle of the Southern Great Lakes, his subordinates have personally seen how excellent the Falcon Emperor’s combat power is. The number of faces reached 20 A coalition of 10,000 people, the number of emperors on the opposite side is less than 40,000, but this is the 40,000 emperors, and it took a day and night to drag the 200,000 coalition forces to death! If you let your subordinates and the emperor **Position swaps, my subordinates think they can’t do this, but this time, we are facing 100,000 imperial warships, and there are warships of the Imperial Navy on the sea. According to the coastal terrain, we must conquer in a short time It’s impossible. I don’t know who gave the generals such full confidence! If the main force of the kingdom with this idea is allowed to go to the battlefield, the subordinates dare not think about the consequences!"
"What you said does make sense!"
The old man’s face was slightly silent. In fact, the old man’s eyes were farther and more thorough than Pastanon. The reason for this trend is very clear. It is because of the nobles, because they feel that victory is within reach, nobles. The restlessness has begun to be unbearable. So that the use of influence makes the whole kingdom begin to lean towards war
"Those falcon emperors are like vultures entrenched on carrion. If they are not given a good look, these guys will not leave the coastal area on their own initiative!" Every day at the gate of the Wang’s Ministry of Affairs In addition, there will be people from all walks of life gathering, the nobles are also petitioning His Majesty the King, and large-scale petitions to the Ministry of Military Affairs. The streets and alleys are filled with slogans: "The Falcon Empire is not an ally, it is an enemy, it is a robber!"
"Drive the robbers and return my home"
Various slogans are written on the street walls. The doorways of shops along the street are also covered with such things. For Feishan citizens who have just defeated the old enemy Istanbul and the whole country is intoxicated by powerful arguments, they are unanimous after learning the news that the Falcon Emperor was entrenched in the coastal area and refused to leave. There was a condemnation of the Falcon Empire. The staff and officers who came to and from the Ministry of Military Affairs had a hatred of the Falcon Empire on their faces, and as a senior in the Ministry of Military Affairs, few of them still maintained it. A calm Pastanon. Naturally, it has become an alternative in everyone’s eyes,
"Okay, you go back first, I want to be quiet!"
The old man waved his hand. With a ray of contemplation, his eyes fell on a huge spire in the center of the city in the distance, and he asked secretly, is it really wrong?
This is the Nagulat Monument that has been standing in the capital of Feshan for 900 years, and it commemorates the founder of Feshan Kingdom. Thousands of years ago, Nagulat, the last prince of the Feiya Dynasty, was deprived of the throne as the nephew of the King at the end of the Feiya Dynasty. Sentenced to serve in one of the most difficult areas at the time, Gurat
Gurat, which is now the capital of Feshan,
A thousand years ago in the Feiya Dynasty, it was a bitter cold place used by the dynasty to exile political enemies. The history of the Feshan capital was also counted from a semi-prison called Gulat Fort at that time.
The huge Faiya dynasty that year fell apart overnight, and the princes in the central area rose up enthusiastically. As the dynasty’s exile and barrier, Gulat Fort was the only area that was not affected. The princes in the region who fought for power were very much Naturally, I forgot that this seemingly flat area was actually the strangulation field on the eastern front of the entire dynasty
Gurat Fort’s natural environment is much worse than that of Central Obaro. In addition, it is often attacked by the Numans from the East. Almost every year thousands of people are killed in battle and sent here. , Often within a few years, all of them will be replaced. There are nobles, thieves, robbers, tax defenders, and sinners who attacked nobles. These people constitute the two sinner legions of the Fiya dynasty, the main body of the sinner legions. The duty is to fight against the Numans east of Gulat Fort,
The Numans were the barbarians that rose strongly to the east of the dynasty. At that time, the Istanians were just a small officer in charge of the whip of the Numans. The Numans were strong and powerful. Since their rise, they have swept thousands of square kilometers in the east. The area is the greatest enemy of the Feiya dynasty in the east. The princes can ignore the existence of this sensitive area, because whoever has occupied Feishan is equivalent to shouldering the position of the eastern barrier.
The Feishan people during that period continued to absorb the forces fleeing from the divided dynasty. With extraordinary perseverance and courage, they fought against the Numans on the east and the influence of the disintegration of the dynasty on the west, and finally developed in this cracked area. Even though time has passed and thousands of years have passed, Feishan people live as survivors of the Feiya Dynasty. There is a huge monument in the center of the capital. The name of the last prince of Feiya Dynasty is inscribed on it.
Pastanon looked back respectfully to the door, looked at the old man’s back, then turned and left. Tomorrow, there will be a very important military affairs meeting to be held,
The combat power of " Emperor ** cannot be underestimated. Although the military strength is only one hundred thousand, they are all elite clusters that have been fighting for a long time. If they choose to fight against the empire, the possibility of Fei Shan's victory is still very slim... "Pa Stanon gave a generous statement, and with a firm expression of his opposition, he raised his objections at the internal meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs, "When is it all? Can you still not see the situation? At this time, you are still singing about the powerful enemy. Enemy? "Someone whispered pretending to be dissatisfied
"Hehe, some people are just like that. What they don't dare to do will be exposed to stop others!"
Pastanon listened to the discussion, and sat down with a cold expression, saying that his position would never be shaken, "As the undersecretary of the military affairs department, I will not sign the report!" The person in charge of Fei Shan who joined the Central European and Barro coalition forces to participate in the Great Lakes War. Although he decisively chose to withdraw and was not affected by the fiasco of the Great Lakes War, his reputation for fleeing in the war cannot escape. For Fei Shan, who has always been proud For soldiers, this is a stain that cannot be erased in a short time. Because of this impact, Pastanon was relieved of his post when he returned to China, and was only recently activated.
The reason for the activation is self-evident, that is, the Feshan Military Department needs someone who understands the Falcon Emperor. Among the high-level people who meet this point, there is only Pastanon!
It’s just that no one thought that Pastanon would show such great opposition to the war with the Empire, as if he wanted to be scared of his soul, he would tremble at the mention of war with the Falcon Empire! All kinds of remarks have appeared everywhere. For some generals who had mercy on Paristanon at the beginning, Pastanon now looks like a traitor! Naturally, Pastanon’s position in the Ministry of Military Affairs is also in a state of isolation, and there are few who are willing to show support. The generals’ eyes seem to have shifted from Pastanon’s body by coincidence, as if they hadn’t seen anything. Self-consciously discussing underneath,
"It seems. The battle of the Great Lakes in the South of the Ganges scared some people's guts, so that as a Fei Shan soldier, he chose to stop in the face of such a rare opportunity in a century!" A sharp, mean voice . Pierce Pastanon's eardrums straight, and at the same time a tall General Feshan. I stood up angrily and looked at other people. "When I hate the bravery of my generation of soldiers, such a coward whispers in the ear, ridiculous! If only a coward is timid, I abandon the plan. Then I will choose to use my reputation. Ways to maintain the dignity of being a soldier!"
"You!" Pastanon looked at the general, his face turned pale, his body trembling slightly. My hands clenched unnaturally,
" Isn’t it? Isn’t Master Pastanon not clear that if we can’t drive away the Falcon Emperor ** and can’t get back what belongs to us, then what kind of face we soldiers have to face the Chinese, go face-to-face To Your Majesty! What is the difference between such a victory and an insult!"
The voice of General Fei Shan actually caused a sound of support from below
" This is the military meeting that determines the future of the kingdom. There is no question of who insults whom. Everyone is a soldier, and everyone’s starting point is for the kingdom! I hope that everyone can restrain "the voice is a fair-skinned middle-aged man," This middle-aged man has a very correct face. He wears a red General Fei Shan uniform. The towering neckline is a golden vine crest. There are three blue bars on the cuffs, indicating that it is the identity mark of Fei Shan's military department. He is personable, at the same level as Pastanon, with a touch of impoliteness in a calm tone, not to mention a pair of sharp eyes under two delicate eyebrows, that unabashed contempt,
He is the other deputy chief among the three deputy chiefs of the Feishan Military Ministry. The Duke of Caliph Biya, a 43-year-old kingdom hawk this year, is said to be behind the various public opinions outside.
" Sir Caliphate, am I wrong? "When the Caliphate spoke out, the General Feshan sat down again with dissatisfaction. It is no wonder that the generals’ calibers are very consistent. They are really on the coast. The regional interests are too tempting, I am salivating,
The Feshan Kingdom adopts slavery. According to this system, whoever can seize the coastal areas and **** the harbors from the Falcon Emperor’s hands can be counted as the spoils of this war. Your personal wallet, not to mention everyone knows that during the retreat of the Istanbul army, 80% of the large quantities of materials and treasures that were temporarily discarded fell into the hands of the Falcon Emperor. You must know how huge this wealth is. ,
Istan Army attacked the capital of the Congo empire to the west. It took only half a month to kill and loot. The looted gold jewels were piled together, and there was a tower of fifty or sixty meters in length and width. A ten-meter-long golden jewel tower, the emperor Thoradin I of Istanbul once raised his whip and pointed at the jewel mountain from the side of the jewel mountain, and promised all the Istan soldiers that as long as the enemy Feishan was captured The royal capital of China, this mountain of jewels is the reward, and then the Istan army attacked the Feshan Kingdom, and its ferocity is absolutely rare in a century.
The ransacking of the occupied Feshan area by the Istanis has reached the point of scraping the ground three feet, burning, looting, looting, destroying towns, and destroying villages along the way. According to the conservative estimates of the Feshan nobles, their looting wealth totals The value is at least more than 20 million gold coins. This is not counted as the huge materials piled up enough to allow Fei Shan nobles to hold a whole winter banquet when the cold winter comes. In the face of such interests, how can we not let Fei Shanjun In order to gather the counter-attack force this time, the Feshan Kingdom recruited almost all the nobles of the entire kingdom ~IndoMTL.com~ and some of the private armies formed by these nobles. The promise made by those who can defeat the Istanbul army is The materials and properties obtained are used as rewards,
" Now that the frontline is advancing vigorously, and when we are fully victorious, even the ferocious Istanians will be defeated by us! The empire’s force into the Fei Shan battlefield is only a mere 100,000 people, facing me Fei Shan The 400,000 heroes must also be scared to move. "The Fei Shan nobles ran back and forth in the military. Before such huge benefits, even the military who had been cautious before would change the direction of the wind and could not sit and watch the Falcon. How willingly the emperor involved all the belongings of the Istanbul people!
In the middle of the meeting, a hurried-looking military officer interrupted the progress of the meeting. The officer handed a report to the Secretary of Military Affairs Fei Shan, who was sitting on the main seat, and whispered, "There is an emergency from the coastal area. According to the news, the Falcon Emperor is fighting undeclared, the seventh and eighth armies are trapped, and the ninth army is going to rescue. There is no further news for the time being!"
"What!" The Minister of Military Affairs Fei Shan stood up suddenly, and looked at Pastanon with raging anger. Just when Pastanon was puzzled, the Minister of Military Affairs read the copy. The report was thrown in front of him, and he snorted angrily, "Look at what this is! The Falcon Emperor's undeclared battle, the two legions of the kingdom are trapped, tens of thousands of kingdom warriors are on the battlefield, and we are still here. Discuss whether there can be war! Your Excellency Pastanon, this is all thanks to your blessing!"
