Power and Empire Chapter 2944: Civilization (26)

"Your Majesty, in any case, cannot give Cornelia to the Falcon Empire"

"The Falcon Empire Navy was originally number one in the Inland Sea. If Cornelia Port was used as a support point, the entire eastern coast would be covered by it. In this case, even if I took away Cornelia’s other Regions are also at a strategic disadvantage"

At the military account meeting in the headquarters of the Eero Empire, a middle-aged man with a five-centimeter-long scar on his right cheek and a stiff neck kneeled on the ground asking the emperor to reject the Falcon Empire Agreement. He said with a loyal expression on his face. The middle-aged man is Duke Rufa, the commander of the Second Army of Eero. He has been on the battlefield since the age of sixteen. He has experienced hundreds of battles in his flat body. Because he has a flaxen head, his Second Army is in the Eero Army. Has the title of "Grey Lion Group"

"Lu Faqing meant that if Cornelia Harbor was not handed over to the Falcon Empire, the safety of the coast could be guaranteed?"

Emperor Eero squinted his eyes like a knife, and asked with a calm expression, that he could dominate the southern part of Obaro, and would continue to be troubled and weaken the Eero Empire for decades, and still be able to build it up and down. The emperor Eero who snatched Cornelia by iron barrels with the people of Aden can be regarded as the title of a generation of heroes. Once they are really angry, they are also quite thunderous.

"This.

The Duke of Lufa's face is red, and his expression is embarrassed. I don't know how to explain it.

In fact, he dragged the management of Cornelia Port to the coastal strategy, but he found an excuse for a while. Since the Eero Empire completely abandoned the naval exhibition decades ago, there has been no Eero Empire for the hegemony of the inner seas. Now it is proposed to say The refusal to hand over the Port of Cornelia to the Falcon Empire is to prevent the Falcon Empire’s navy from dominating the eastern coastline of the Inland Sea. If you think about it, even he himself feels a little bit self-deceiving

"Lu Faqing seems to be really tired. Such a major event has reached the point where he can talk about it casually"

As soon as Emperor Eero’s mouth smiled, Duke Ruffa, the commander of the Second Army, suddenly trembled. The limelight seemed to be wrong. He quickly looked at the generals who held the same tone as him. In the end, they saw their low heads, all old fried dough sticks that had been mixed for so many years. Once the emperor said this, who couldn't see what the emperor meant? This is a sign of Thunder Fury!

"You..."

The Duke of Lufa wanted to find someone to help him, but no one looked at him, with a silent face, as if it was not they were talking just now. Lufa shuddered, his soul was flying out of the sky, and his voice trembled. "Your Majesty, your subordinates absolutely don't mean this, your subordinates just think..."

"Okay, I understand Lu Faqing’s painstaking efforts." Emperor Eero finally waved impatiently and interrupted him to continue speaking. "I heard that Lu Faqing’s youngest daughter is going to marry the Luo Wei family this month. It’s a bit unkind for Lu Faqing to not be able to attend the wedding of her youngest daughter. "Well, now I will appoint Lu Faqing as the undersecretary of the military affairs department, who will be in charge of the army’s logistics so that Lu Faqing can return to the imperial capital to attend the wedding. !" The emperor Eero looked calm and solemn. Duke Lufa didn’t know that the emperor was furious at this moment. It’s really a problem with IQ.

"Why, is Lu Faqing dissatisfied? Shouldn't you be grateful for this grace to be able to attend the wedding of your youngest daughter?" Emperor Eero got up from his seat, looking coldly from Lu, who was kneeling on the ground. The Duke of France withdrew his gaze from his body, his tone was as cold as a knife. The collective behavior of military generals who ignored the interests of the empire for personal gain made his heart cold. Over the years, his blind connivance with the military has caused the military to have With the ethos of self-care, the direction of the wind has changed greatly, and all the generals who still hold the idea of ​​not blaming the law, immediately like a basin of cold water pouring on their heads

The generals who just called the Falcon Emperor ** team to go to the 6th battle even closed their lips with pale faces. They looked at the Duke of Rufa and were full of meanings not to hurt themselves.

"Rufa, thanks to your majesty for grace"

These bastards, the Duke of Luffa, who rescued the generals, looked extremely bleak, and he must also thank the emperor loudly. The emperor’s tone was so strong, indicating that there is no possibility of a turnaround in this matter, and now he regrets that he has become a leader. The bird did it too. This time I was transferred back to the royal capital by the emperor. I am afraid that it will be difficult to lead the army again in this life. At this time, if other powerful generals are pulled out, I am afraid that there will be no good fruits. Offended the entire generals, even if you want to mess around in the future, I’m afraid it’s hard to do it

"Go ahead, that's it"

Emperor Eero looked at the much older Duke Lufa, and waved his hand with a tired face. The Duke Lufa who can become the commander of the Second Army is naturally regarded as the emperor’s favorite general, in the eyes of the emperor. Lufa can be regarded as a good soldier with rigorous work style and rich combat experience. Although his life is not victorious in all battles, he has never had a tragic defeat. He can always judge the direction of the dangerous wind in time. "Follow Lufa Behind the duke, the chance of surviving is doubled than others. "Such comments have become the label of the empire’s blessed generals, but this time, the emperor had to use it to deter the generals.

Who called the Duke of Lufa was in the wrong position from the very beginning. The fundamental reason why the Duke of Lufa, who has always been the only emperor, opposed such strong opposition, is nothing more than interest. When the civil war debts were issued, There have been reports that the Duke of Rufa, together with several other families, is secretly preparing to unite and is preparing to force the royal family to use Cornelia Port as a deliverable with the war debts in his hand. Emperor Eero has long been dissatisfied. If this The Duke of Tsinglufa voluntarily agreed to surrender the Cornelia Port, and the emperor naturally did not go into it. However, the Duke of Lufa jumped out with the identity of an older generation. The emperor is really muddled!

Looking at the ten-year-old Duke of Lufa, who stumbled and left after the meeting, the generals' expressions were also quite emotional, whispering, Duke Lufa, this is the end of the calculation, the military deputy commander is like this. The position can be considered to be ranked in the Erodi’s Ministry. In terms of military position, the transfer of a corps commander to the deputy commander of the military department can also be regarded as a real promotion. But the problem is that a commanding tens of thousands of subordinates How could the commander of the real power army be comparable to the military deputy commander in charge of logistics, and now it is the most critical moment of the Battle of Cornelia. Millions of troops are fighting to the last moment. The so-called real military achievements, It’s at this last moment that I can grab a lot of it

As long as you can win the Battle of Cornelia, this military exploit alone is enough to keep the family prospering for decades without any problems, but now, the Duke of Lufa is transferred back to the Imperial Ministry, and the family of Lufa is even considered It was kicked out early in this big victory. The next time the Lufa family wants to get such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I don't know when it will be!

This is the cruel reality. What soldiers are seeking for the continuation of the family glory in the **** battle ahead. The Lufa family from the south has lost this opportunity to seize military power and is already half-footed on the label of decline. If there is no major change, after the Duke of Lufa gradually loses power, it is impossible for the Lufa family to maintain the status quo. Twenty years later, the Lufa family will soon become like those Like the dilapidated clan that fell into the sky for a while, it can only be mixed with the ranks of middle and lower-level officers. In the next few decades, who will remember the Lufa family in the south?

Emperor Eero came out of the meeting tent, a general Eero was already waiting outside

"Luo Weiqing, are you here to intercede for Lufa?"

Looking at the men in front of him, Emperor Eero showed a little bit of stunned face. The middle-aged general waiting outside the tent was Luo Weidan, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Empire who was married to the Duke of Rufa. He was at the meeting just now. Luo Weidan is one of the few generals Eero who did not call out to refuse to deliver Cornelia. Luo Weidan is tall, with good features, now forty-one years old, and a red cloaked armor. He looks extremely mighty. It is the young and strong faction in the empire, and has always advocated a strong stance against the Falcon Empire, so even the emperor was very surprised just now that Luo Weidan did not say anything about the Cornelia incident.

"No, my subordinates are here to request resignation!" Luo Weidan stood upright, holding his general saber in both hands

"Why?"

"Because of the incompetence of his subordinates, his Majesty had to cede Cornelia Port to the Falcon Empire. Although it was a lease in name, it is no different from cession!"

Luo Weidaen knelt on one knee and said with ashamed expression, "Lu Fa was punished for personal gain. This is his own responsibility. As soldiers, he cannot protect the interests of the empire. Achievements have made your Majesty suffer the provocation and humiliation of his opponents and give away the strategic importance. This is the subordinate's dereliction of duty."

"Provocation and shame? Give it away? Are you insulting me? "Emperor Eero's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and his face was coldly questioned.

"Don't dare, my subordinates are terrified"

Luo Weidan lowered his head, but there was no panic on his face. "Your Majesty believes that your Majesty knows the importance of Cornelia Port to the Cornelia region, and knows that there must be a relationship between the Falcon Empire and Eero. In the battle of life and death, our army made every effort to **** Cornelia for this purpose. Hundreds of thousands of people in Aden went south, the generals personally fought, several people died in the battle, and the army of a million people did not retreat. As a result, what I was asking for was the hope that in the future, when fighting the Falcon Empire of the Great North, we could accumulate a step forward. Now the Falcon Empire has taken the Port of Cornelia without a single soldier, and my army is bloody. Is this the result of fighting for half a year? As an emperor, his subordinates are incompetent, so they can only find their jobs by themselves."

"You!"

Emperor Eero clenched his fists, his face was red, and his heart was very entangled. Everyone knew that if Cornelia was not given to the port, Eero would fall into the predicament of fighting on the two fronts, but It just happened to stand up one by one, isn't it enough to punish a Duke of Lufa?

After a long silence, Emperor Eero took out a secret letter from his arms with a wry smile, and handed it to Luo Weidaen, "Look at this before you ask to be removed."

"This is?"

Luo Weidaen took the secret letter with a tragic face, opened it cautiously, swept his eyes, and suddenly inhaled a breath of cold air. All his thoughts about self-invitation and removal were gone, and only an angry face was gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice. "Your Majesty, is this true? That woman really came to Cornelia!"

"That woman thinks she did something very secretive, but how could she actually know that if it had not been infiltrated into the high ranks of the Order, do you really think Eero would have forgotten the shame of eighty years ago!" Emperor Eero Retrieving the secret letter, there was a fire in the depths of his deep eyes, and he said word by word, "Eighty years ago, when I was at the strongest, these holy city remnants used unknown means to suddenly dig into the southern Kailuo River. The main river channel caused the Kailo flood into the southern plains. As a result, the south of the Eero Empire was covered with a vast ocean. Dozens of prosperous cities were soaked by the flood for more than a month. ""The farmland was deserted and the people drowned. After the flood, the plague raged three times. In 2015, even more unknown dust and mist filled the south, and the infected people would fall into strange pneumo-lung diseases, unable to produce, and eventually become weak and vomit blood and die. Within three years, the southern part of Eero, which originally had a population of more than 30 million, The plains, the population has dropped sharply to 11 million, and there are ghost towns everywhere

This is also the result of a large number of refugees fleeing to the north. The dust and fog have caused the agriculture in the south to be completely abandoned for 20 years. It was not until 50 years later that the terrible dust and fog moved south with the wind to the southern sea, and the south was considered Some improvement has been restored. If it weren't for this, I have the rich southern Great Plains in Ero, how could I still be unable to dominate the South until now! Now it is even more for the migration of the southern population, and it is necessary to fight the Aden people to the Cornelia area! "

Emperor Eero’s voice paused, and there was a murderous intent in his tone. "These holy city remnants have always remembered the holy city~ IndoMTL.com~ this time I let out the wind and said that the secret of the holy city was revealed, sure enough Did you catch this big fish." "Your Majesty said that Cornelia Harbor is a bait?"

Luo Weidaen looked stunned. No wonder the emperor was so resolute about renting Cornelia Port. It was completely different from his previous attitude. It turned out to be to lure the people of the Holy City, but he did not expect that he would directly fish the current Pope. Now, although the Erot Empire has reconciled with the sect nation since 80 years ago, it may be as simple as that. The blood feud of tens of millions of people, the ruin of the entire south, missed the opportunity to dominate the south, and how prosperous the south was at the time. , It is the political, economic and cultural center of the entire southern part of Obaro. As a result, it was completely destroyed by a major flood. Every family has no shortage of people who died in that disaster. So in the upper echelons of Eero, I want to think about the situation of the year. It is impossible to conceal it. Tens of millions of people have died and cannot yet retaliate. This hatred has been backlogged down from generation to generation. What happened back then was a huge humiliation to the arrogant Ero nobles! However, for the original incident, the Erotians can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. At this time, it is finally time for revenge.

"The key of God's punishment, naturally only the people in the holy city can find it. After they find it, they won't all be ours!" Emperor Eero smiled coldly and said with a twisted face
