Power and Empire Chapter 2503: Thunderstorm (23)
Fezer Border City, Abigail
The watchtower is covered with cyan vines, presenting irregular angles in the distance, and the gray spires of urban houses in the rain are standing quietly at the entrance of this majestic mountain.
A young officer wearing a black uniform with a silver rusty collar, looked a little eagerly and said to the back of a middle-aged man standing by the window of the room, "Master Ferretelli, can’t wait indefinitely. Going down, the royal guards have been dispatched. The royal capital is now a faction in the empty city. It only needs to mobilize three to fifty thousand people to make it happen."
" 30,000 to 50,000 people are drawn, are you kidding me? "The middle-aged man standing in front of the window turned around, and in the transparent wine glass in his hand, with the rhythmic shaking, golden bordo in the glass It hits the wall of the cup, forming a circle of water patterns to block it, and the corners of the mouth smile coldly. "What I am facing is the 200,000 army of the eight countries of the Central Alliance, and the defensive line of more than fifty miles, once the opponent takes the opportunity to press on. , You know what the consequences will be, and you directly use force against the royal family. Have you ever thought about the consequences of this incident? The Royal Guards were transferred away, but the 100,000 direct troops stationed in the direction of the northern coast only took three days. You can kill the capital"
" I’m just here on behalf of Master Kuray to inform adults that the Falcon Imperial Navy has broken through the kingdom’s west coast line of defense. The navy suffered heavy losses during the fighting. At this moment, it has already evacuated to the south. "Young officers are middle-aged. Under his gaze, he said word by word
"What, the navy has withdrawn!" The middle-aged man looked shocked, the wine glass in his hand snapped to pieces, and the golden wine was left on the ground. The Fei Ze navy did not belong to the military, but to the royal family, so Fei Ze Ze Haijun often engages in smuggling and pirates. He is notorious and is known as the Zhibro robber
"The imperial navy really deserves to be the overlord of the sea. It was just a surprise attack that paralyzed the royal navy and sank most of it, and the rest was withdrawn southward." The young officer's mouth turned upside down with a hint of undisguised upturn, and his voice paused. After a pause, he said, "I believe that the adults also know that the Falcon Empire Army has been quite skilled in landing operations. Only relying on the local local army, I am afraid that it is unable to block the opponent. The adult's fief seems to be in the province of Ruda, which is close to the coast. There are many military adults whose fiefs are basically close to the coastline. Master Qure asked me to bring a message to the adults, if it can be transferred, move it immediately, and soon it will not be Feize's land... ."
"What do you mean by this?"
The middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly, and he interrupted the young officer to continue speaking, his nose hummed heavily, "The situation here, you have also seen it, although it looks calm now, but once it starts, it will never stop. Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting, and the gap caused by the withdrawal of tens of thousands of troops will become the weakness of the opponent's full attack, and then the fate of the collapse of the whole army!"
" At this point, Master Kuray said, adults will think about it. "The young officer raised his head, his eyes flashed, and said
"Considering?" The middle-aged man has a pair of piercing eyes, and a light flashes like a sharp lightning. The young officer's Kuray is Kuray, the intelligence minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Kingdom.
" This is the young officer who Kuray specially asked the young to bring to the big people. "The young officer took out a document from his arms, stood at attention, saluted the middle-aged man, and then turned and left.
"This is!" The middle-aged man opened the file with a serious expression, his eyes swept away, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face. It took more than ten seconds before he pressed the file in his hand on the table and lifted it from the hanger. He took off his uniform and came to the door to order to the waiter outside, "Send the generals of the various armies to come here to hold a combat meeting"
"A combat meeting?"
The attendant at the door stood upright and did not dare to take a breath. He thought he had heard it wrong. It has been a month since the army confronted the Central Allied Forces. The two sides looked like this. The adults just arranged a defense. There hasn't been a combat meeting, but today. . . . The attendant thought of the way the king's envoy had left, and couldn't help but feel a bad premonition in his heart. Is it really going to be a fight?
"Yes, combat meeting,"
The middle-aged man’s face was irritated, his upper body was very sturdy. After putting on his uniform, he looked like an iron tower with a wide top and a narrow bottom. There was an old year scar on his forehead, like a centipede. People seem to have the temperament of a warrior with a hundred battles, not angry or pretentious, just looking at it is enough to make ordinary officers feel suffocating pressure,
His name is Fei Lietri, the commander of 200,000 Fei Zejun and the Minister of Military Affairs of Fei Ze Kingdom confronting the Central Alliance, the commander-in-chief of the border guards, the first person in Fei Ze's military, in Fei Ze Kingdom, the position of the military It has always been maverick, even if it is against the royal family, it is mainly due to the national conditions of the Fazer Kingdom when it was established.
At the beginning, the hero of the Fazer clan, Larsdan, the first king of Fazer Kingdom, gathered Fazer’s various forces to establish the country, and in order to express his willingness to rule the new country with the Fazer forces, he will rule the country. Disintegration means that even the royal family cannot enter the military department composed of various forces without obtaining military merit. After more than a hundred years, it has formed the separation of the military power of the Fazer royal family and the military, and the royal family has combat power. The elite direct-administered corps and the imperial guards responsible for defending Kyoto have a total strength of nearly 200,000, while the military has border guards and various local forces with a total strength of 300,000
This kind of relative balance has allowed the Fazer family to reach a tacit understanding with the various forces in a hundred years.
The Kingdom of Fezer is not essentially a unified and centralized country, but is still a slavery tribal system. The armies of all forces can fight for Feize, but not necessarily for the royal family. The same The royal family can mobilize its direct army, but it cannot interfere in the range of all forces. After Ferretelli gave the order, he just sat down in his seat, and a General Fezer in his early thirties opened the door and walked in.
is the same tall body, brown hair mixed with a little white hair, hazel eyes, pale skin, his eyes paused for Fei Lietri, the general Faze said in a condensed voice, "I just heard Your lord is about to hold a combat meeting. I don’t know if it’s true. The frontline situation has just stabilized. The eight central countries and we have just reached a secret agreement not to take the initiative to attack. Once the news of the meeting goes out, our situation will become very passive, although The improvised troops of the eight central countries are not a cause for concern, but they are also 200,000, and adults should understand that our real threat is not from the eight central countries, but from the royal capital!"
"Of course I know, but you should look at this" Ferretelli handed over the document sent.
"This is?" The General Fazer picked up the file and flipped through a few pages. When he saw the content on it, his face suddenly became pale, and he put the file on the table with heavy hands. "It's just too much. , How can the royal family do this! This is a traitor, a betrayal of the entire Faze! "
"If anger and complaint are useful, the royal family will not be so confident!"
Ferretelli rolled his eyes on the seat." This is the content of the royal capital preparing to propose a truce agreement with the Falcon Empire. You read that right. The royal family is preparing to divide the entire coastline. Anyway, no one belongs to the royal family. Territory, for the royal family, not only did not have any loss, but also solved the military's restrictions on the royal family for a hundred years."
The royal family wanted to expand eastward all by themselves, and several times proposed that the direct corps was insufficient and needed to expand the direct corps by 30,000 people. I gave it a veto
"I didn’t expect the royal family to take advantage of my absence, so as to direct and perform the planning of Southern affairs, and take this opportunity to send 50,000 guards out of Kyoto.” Fei Lietri paused and said, “The royal family banned As long as the guards go to the south, as long as there is no major fluctuations, they can recover the things lost in the direction of the coast, but they are all things that have been marked by the royal family. The guards are all capable children of the royal family and lack it. It’s just a battle experience. The first generation of kings promised that the Guards would never go out to fight in Beijing, so that the various forces were respected as royals.
is all right now, even the last fig leaf is torn off,
What to conquer the South, but to use the weak south to sharpen the guards' minions. When the guards return, the royal territory and wealth have not decreased, but have increased greatly, and the royal guards have taken it down. The land and the spoils naturally belong to the royal family, and there are tens of thousands of talented warriors, which is simply countable "
" Isn’t the royal family afraid of the Falcon Empire swallowing them? "After listening to Fletcher’s words, General Fazer showed a sense of sorrow. For so many years, the military has always regarded the Royal Guards as rubbish. Army, no one really thought about it. The rumor that this garbage army will be stationed in Kyoto forever still has such a great significance.
What's terrible about ", look at the Nordic Barrow. As long as the Falcon Empire is willing to surrender, the Falcon Empire will give considerable lenient. There is no record of the surrendered country being destroyed by the royal family. Ze, there will be exceptions? "Ferretrie smiles bitterly." On the contrary, it is us, who can give up the industry and land in the coastal area, as well as tens of thousands of slaves and manors? Without these industry funds, the army What does Fang use to support the army? One will go down and the other will change. How many days before the army is swallowed by the royal family? So the royal family can surrender, but we can't!
"It's ridiculous, isn't it? We were betrayed by our own royal family! If I'm not mistaken, negotiations between the royal family and the Falcon Empire should already be in progress, and we are still in the dark!" To this General Fazer, his face was full of self-deprecation, and his heavy figure was like a mountain. He was only forty-seven years old, and he was the youngest road, and his ambitious age could be the number one in Fazer’s military. People, in addition to their outstanding abilities, are also a considerable reason for the fact that the Ferrie family is the head of the family. The Ferrie family are the military giants of the Fazer Kingdom who have produced two kingdom marshals
Even now, in addition to the military commander-in-chief, Fei Lietri, there are still seven General Fezer in office. Most of the forces of Fei Lie family are precisely the coastal areas. Ceding the coastal areas is undoubtedly letting the Fei Lie family go. dead! These important military generals similar to the Feilie family accounted for almost three-quarters of the upper level of the military. Who said that the coastal areas have always been more prosperous than the inland, and they can also smuggle the benefits of fishermen, which is better than the inland. Too many. For more than a hundred years, the military of the last force naturally regarded the coastal area as its own territory, and even the royal family could not get in. No one would have thought that there would be such a day.
Ferretelli’s keen judgment is correct
The Fazer royal family has indeed sent someone to secretly discuss the armistice agreement with the Falcon Empire. When Fazer’s armistice agreement text was placed on the Emperor’s desk, even the imperial emperor was shocked. The Fazer royal family was simply shocked. It was a huge turn. The Imperial Navy only defeated the Fazer navy. The landing forces had just set off from Lisbon. The envoys sent by the Fazer royal family could not wait to call for truce negotiations.
"The Empire and Fazer can be friends, war is not the only way to solve problems, we can mutually benefit each other!" The sent royal envoy appeared sincerely on the deck of the Imperial Navy battleship. , The agreement sent in his hand is more sincere than the last armistice agreement. When he learned that the murderous Falcon Empire emperor was about to summon him personally, he was sadly scared and fainted on the spot
Finally, this agreement can only be handed over to the emperor by the Secretary of the Navy Dusternky,
glanced over the above content, the fat man's eyes blinked, blinked, he was not dreaming, the fat man pinched his big leg, confirming that it was not a dream, he couldn't help but hit A shiver, my goodness, the Fazer royal family actually proposed to send the entire coastline as a condition of armistice to the Falcon Empire,
The entire coastline~ IndoMTL.com~ Fatty’s eyes are full of stars, even if it is thousands of miles in length, it almost occupies nearly a quarter of Faze’s land area, and the request is only a request The Empire and Fazer established a military alliance, and at the same time lifted the trade embargo that lasted for more than half a year. The Fazer royal family even offered to lend to the Imperial Bank, expressing its willingness to become a member of the Imperial Bank, and the gesture of surrender was almost on the ground.
What should this be!
The fat man was a little dazed. After planning for more than half a year, this is the end result?
This feeling is like I only want a watermelon, but I get a watermelon field. Who says Fei Ze people have no sincerity, this is almost full of sincerity, thousands of miles of fertile coastline, If you want to give it away, it will be given away, but there are more than a dozen well-developed ports and a prosperous area with a population of two to three million. If the imperial capital is tilted, the probability of becoming the economic and trade center of South Europe within two to three years is 100%. After Lisboa, the empire will lay out a hen that lays golden eggs. This is just the intuitive value seen, and the additional value is actually even greater, because the beginning of these southern ports will bring up the entire area. The prosperity of the empire is tantamount to having an extra southwestern district in the empire.
"Your Majesty’s terrible, as expected, can only be described in an inhuman way." The Imperial Navy Secretary Du Stellenkai looked at this agreement and thought of the frightened Envoy Fazer. He shook his head quietly in the back, and his heart was already It was a belief that the Fei Ze people were scared by the emperor's presence, and they didn't fight much. They just handed everything up. The emperor showed his face, which is more useful than the millions of empires! 〖To be continued〗【】
