Power and Empire Chapter 2558: Imperial Wind (33)
The snow in the sky is falling even more, but it is difficult to melt the boiling in the hearts of businessmen. Every year, the annual meeting of the business alliance is regarded as a risk indicator for empire commerce, and the carriages move from the headquarters of the business alliance. Guangping left outside, surrounded by the many businessmen outside waiting for the news of the annual meeting, they haven’t recovered until now. The Empire Business Alliance meeting is over, and the people who came out of it, whether it’s the business alliance’s seventy-four provinces. The minister, or the deacon of the business alliance, are all saying a word,
The name "Imperial Bank" immediately shook Lisboa, the business capital of the southern part of the empire. As the meeting was spoken out, the ups and downs of the entire meeting were amazing, and finally appeared consecutively. Two important imperial ministers made the business alliance meeting of the fourth year of the imperial calendar appear in the "History of Imperial Business Development" by the imperial economist Luo Wu after 173 years.
The Queen of Empire Business, Socutus Delan once again swept all those who dared to provoke with a powerful hand, even though he is no longer the thirteenth deacon of the business alliance, but in his hands he holds 80 million imperial businesses. The gold ticket of the alliance also revealed the power beyond the reach of all the imperial merchants. The former imperial adjutant Prais, once ranked one of the peaks of the imperial power ministers, and the spiritual leader of the entire imperial administrative class, such people stand on the ropes. On the side of Kutus Dailan, he became a representative of the Imperial Bank. Crolithat, the five chiefs of the military, holds more than one hundred thousand imperial Northwest Army, and sits in the south of the empire. It has been since the time of the emperor or governor The task of being relied on as the right-hand man, this time even more recklessly expresses the importance and support of the Imperial Bank. What is the Imperial Bank is no longer important. With such two important ministers standing, it is no longer strong enough. It’s clear that the snow flakes are like catkins and flying flowers, covering the entire spire of the city of Lisbon, covering it layer by layer.
For the Imperial military, few business alliance meetings held this winter are eye-catching, but the news that the Southern Branch of the Imperial Supervision Department was ordered to investigate the entire Northwest Army is enough to make the entire Imperial Army Jie Qi felt the chrysanthemum tighten, and the Ministry of Supervision always made the imperial military feel like a cold thorn on his back, and occasionally it was reported that an unlucky person was investigated, but that was only a single investigation, and this time, it was right. Investigation of the entire Northwest Army
More than 300 inspectors stationed in the Northwest Army Corps overnight. Various things were dug up. They were all hot-blooded soldiers. They have not been on the battlefield for a long time. They have been stationed in places for a long time. Problems are always unavoidable, and there are many cases of intrigues. There are also three or four lovers who accompanied the army. They were strange and stunned. They were taken away by the Ministry of Supervision in one night with six banner leaders, more than a hundred. Military officers at all levels, the report was sent to Crolithat, and even Crolithat was frightened. If all of this was investigated and dealt with, the Northwest Army would be half broken. The question of women, your Majesty, hasn’t been so bad all the time. Did you check it? And there are many women in your Majesty. The upper beam is not righteous, and you can't expect the people below to be so serious. Of course, these words can't be said clearly
" Your Majesty, this is the list of personnel that the Northwest Army had close contact with merchants after arriving in the southern part of the country. One head of the banner, seven squadron leaders, and sixty-three other officers. "The Minister of Supervision, Lidastorv, looked respectful. Put the list in his hands on the emperor’s desk. People outside saw that the Northwest Army was in chaos. The investigation was actually caused by collusion with the merchants. Only a few people knew about this. After reading the report list, the fat man’s face looked He sank slightly. After all, the Northwest Army had only entered the southern part of the Ganges. There are not many real relationships with merchants, and most of the relationships are not obscure. At most, they are just doing business together and selling some. Loot and the like, and the transaction volume is not too much,
" Is that all? "The fat man picked up the list on the table. After all, the Northwest Legion was the Imperial Legion that he cared about most. At first, it was the Northwest Army. It defeated the most elite Northern War of the Swadian Kingdom in the northern wilderness. The army, in one fell swoop, reversed the situation of the entire continent. Vicia took advantage of the rise, and finally formed a situation that swept the entire Ikadiva continent. It can be said that the Northwest Mountain Legion was the direct line of the fat man when he rose. The imperial army is famous for its thorns. The longbowman came from the Northwest Army. Fatty has feelings for such troops, so after reading the entire report, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Except for the arbitrarily Racker at the meeting, the entire Northwest Army had problems. It's not big, it's just because of the lack of combat achievements, which caused some complaints, but think about it, after all, the Northwest Army has only been in the south for two months. What big problems can it cause?
"Only these!" Lidastorf nodded and replied,
"Are there any rumors that shouldn't be there?" The fat man lowered his list with slightly frowned eyebrows, and looked at his Minister of Supervision. The Supervision Department caught so many people in one go, and it seemed that the Northwest Army's military style was rectified. Military discipline, who really knows the reason for the thorough investigation of the Northwest Army, except the Ministry of Supervision, can count on five fingers. Fatty does not want other news to circulate on the market. If the Northwest Army's heart is shaken, it will be too much for the loss.
"Absolutely not! Subordinates can use their heads to guarantee!" Lidastorf replied solemnly, hesitated and said, but the Supervision Department has brought back many people. If the interrogation takes a long time, I am afraid it will really cause trouble. If something happened, just let it go. I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceal the true purpose of this investigation. So what should I do? Please make it clear that "Lidastorv's worries are not superfluous. They are also brought to the supervision." The Ministry inquired, as the personnel were constantly released, there would always be various conjectures. In fact, it was what the inspector below him wanted to say. The Southern Ministry of Supervision dispatched so many people, and the final result was that they were let go one by one. The Ministry of Supervision can be said to be a heavy blow to the deterrence of the army, but it does not release people. Is it just like this and has been detained? As for Lidastorf's thoughts, the fat man naturally knew well. After arresting so many people at once, the Supervision Department would definitely not let them go easily. Otherwise, would the Supervision Department still be afraid in the future?
The fat man rolled his eyes and stood up with his hands turned on his back. He looked at the snow outside the window and hummed coldly, "I immediately issue a notice to the Northwest Army in my name, in view of the lack of discipline in the Northwest Army. All the officers under investigation were trained collectively for ten days. After ten days, those with poor training scores were sent back to the empire to study again."
"Yes, I understand!" Lidasdorf's eyes lit up when he heard it. This method is good, and the reason for collective training is good. Even if the officers who were taken away by the Supervision Department are complaining, no one will Your Majesty Falcon complained. As for those people who really need to be taken away, they are naturally those with unqualified training scores. When the time comes, they will be transferred from the Northwest Army.
The news of the imperial emperor’s winter rectification personally came out, so that the entire southern part of Obaro has finally put aside a lot. The Falcon Imperial emperor does not seem to launch a large-scale war in the winter. For Obaro The chaos in the south has played an invisible role in fueling the flames, especially the Erot Empire, which has torn apart with the Kingdom of Aden, has once again increased its military strength, hoping to completely end the war this winter,
Kingdom of Aden, Cornelia Promenade, this is the westernmost coastal zone of the Kingdom of Aden, like a crooked half-moon, so it is called Cornelia’s romantically by the Aden people living in the desert Necklace, Cornelia is the goddess of the moon in the legend of the Aden people, but at this time, on this snow-covered vast crescent, the war between the Eero Empire and the Aden people has been fought into a river, and the winter sun is almost no temperature , The cold sea current is wrapped in large swaths of white, which seems to be more in line with the sight in front of us. It has just fallen on the snowy ground, a piece of snow white, filled with countless figures, and the battle horns of the two armies spread in the **** smell of the wind. There are hundreds of Eero Empire flags crackling in the wind, dense infantry lines, mixed foot and cavalry formations, countless stingers falling forward like a forest, rumbling hooves and footsteps resounding across the earth. , The Eero Cavalry wearing crimson armor lifted up a white icy mist, and the flying flag of the Crusaders, like a huge wave,
Bailiya rides on the horse, looking at the array of Adenites that have been punctured in front, finally reveals a touch of joy on his face. This is the last force of the Aden Kingdom on the Cornelia Promenade, although the Aden Army has already It was a full assembly, but under the violent abruptness of the 100,000 Erot Army, and the reinforcements were blocked and cut off by the follow-up Erot Army, after half a month of fierce fighting, they finally let Bailiya, who was under the banner of the rebels, Breaking through the promenade, and further forward is Cornelia Port, known as the pendant of the Moon Goddess, the largest sea port in the east of the Kingdom of Aden. This port is connected to the entire inland sea area, that is to say, the Eero Empire Once the port is occupied, a sea transportation route can be formed, and materials and troops can be easily reached within two days, without the need to struggle in this long and narrow corridor as it is now.
For the Erot Empire, which is committed to the hegemony of the South, it is equivalent to holding the Cornelia barrier, which is more than 300 miles long and 80 miles wide, completely in hand. In opposition, they have an absolute advantage. Unless the people of Aden completely abandon the trade routes of the east, they must lower their heads in front of the Eero Empire. Therefore, this time, the people of Aden also went all out and mobilized almost all the troops in the east. However, in the face of the 300,000-thick line of the Erotians, the support units of the Aden Army were dispersed one by one. In less than a month, the Aden side had already killed more than 30,000. There were more casualties, and it was still impossible to stop the Erot Army from approaching Cornelia Port
On January 6th, the Erot Army began to attack Cornelia, following the order to "Go forward!" There was a fierce battle for a month, continuously defeating the Aden Army’s tens of thousands of obstacles. For a moment, the **** smell of the whole body has not been washed away, and the heavy shield once again reflects the halo of winter, like a long metal wall that suddenly rises up suddenly,
"Go forward! Take down the city wall!"
A messenger cavalry with a blue and red flag on his back is like a cluster of arrows, with the bursting wind of the battlefield, galloping past the front of the Eero formation, and the entire team of Eero is heavy. The infantry stepped forward neatly, and saw a glint of cold, densely packed heads, which made people feel the pressure on the face. The military industry of the Eero Empire was well-known in the south.
The camel iron produced in the Eero Empire is the iron with the least impurities in the south. It has always been regarded as an excellent material for forging sophisticated weapons.
These heavy infantrymen of Eero wear scaly heavy armor forged from camel iron, holding a heavy spear, a melee hatchet, and a red and blue wild pheasant on the helmet. They have an inertial right arm. A round shield made of fine iron hangs on the outside, which is as big as a door when lifted up and can completely cover the people behind. Therefore, when you walk around, it is exactly like an iron wall. The helmet of the Erot Army is a sideburn shield. The upturned pointed helmet, the entire face is covered by a metal visor, and the outer armor is covered with a pure white battle robe. The marks of the respective units are painted in red. The Eero Army has always used all kinds of beasts. As the title of the army, the feather of the eagle is generally the archer, the tooth of the tiger, this is the pikeman, and the heavy infantry is called "rhinoceros horn"
The rhino is a symbol of the Eero Empire. This animal is fearless and unstoppable. For the enemies of the Eero Empire, the meaning of the rhino is obviously more profound. It represents the red rhino that was slaughtered, plundered, and perished. , Eero's heavy infantry went hand in hand. The battle flag was waved, there was a thunderous sound, the infantry phalanx formed an offensive echelon, like a torrent of steel starting to roll forward ~ IndoMTL.com~ The front was flashing with the metal light of armored shields and long spears, and the offensive momentum was like a tsunami. Unstoppable like an avalanche, the dark red armor is like a huge wave.
"shooting" shots of rain arrows from the wall, the clusters of arrows kept hitting the heavy infantry of Eero, and the sight of them being bounced off made General Aden standing on the wall of Cornelia serious. Extremely, the eyes were tight and bloodshot, and the hands were squeezing the battlements heavily. Because of too much force, the knuckles of the knuckles were white. The Rhino heavy infantry of the Eero people are well-known throughout the south. They are general melee troops. In front of the terrible heavy infantry, they were harvested like slices of wheat. Arrows hitting the heavy infantry would have no effect. General light weapons would at most pierce the outer first layer of scales, and then they would be smashed. The barrel armor on the second floor blocks it,
In the history of the war between Aden and Eero, there have been five thousand rhino heavy infantry soldiers that made it difficult for the kingdom of Aden to advance tens of thousands of troops. In the military industry, the Eero Empire made the kingdom of Biadin too strong. , The Aden Desert does not produce iron. The iron ore in the Kingdom of Aden is exchanged for various materials, and most of the weapons and equipment are mixed.
Like the camel cavalry in the North-South war, the protection ability is extremely poor. If it weren't blocked by the desert, the Aden Kingdom might have been annexed by the Erot Empire, but for the Erot heavy infantry, the Adenites were not completely helpless. The black devil oil produced in the vast desert is the best weapon against this heavy infantry, but unfortunately, this devil oil is poisonous and cannot be stored for long. The Erot Empire has been against Aden from the very beginning. To fight without declaration, the first thing is to cut the connection between Cornelia Port and the mainland of Aden.
