Power and Empire Chapter 3337: Another 1 preface
Kaluya Fengbao, the capital of Martin Liya
This is a beautiful fortress city. With the main body of the fortress as the center, four walls extend outwards, a network of roads extending in all directions, and densely stacked houses, like a huge spider web, connecting 20 nearby The range inside is shrouded in it, especially in the light of the setting sun
Because the sea level here is slightly lower, it is like a sunken lake. From a distance, it looks like a huge sunset falling in the city, so Kaluiafontein is also called "the sunset of the sun". City"
At the beginning, this city on the southern prairie was not a real city, but just a military barrier on the border. The ten-meter-high city wall left a large area behind the setting sun. The shadows of the darkened city walls often reveal deep gaps, which seem to be smashed by huge rocks. These gaps silently describe the tragic environment at that time. The founder of the Kingdom of Martin Liya, Astan I It was once besieged by 200,000 troops here, and finally reversed the battle, defeated the allied forces of the prairie tribes, and laid the foundation for the establishment of the Martin Liya Kingdom.
Of course, the revenge of the Astan I was also very strong. In the subsequent counterattack, he broke the capital of the original enemy and ordered the massacre that lasted for half a month. When the final order was to end the massacre, that city Except for the tall city walls around, no residents survived. The people who grew up here were completely erased from the long river of history by Astan I. All the buildings in the city were also transformed into the fire. Nothing, the Martin Liya people dominate the prologue of this land, and to commemorate the battle that laid the Martin Liya people’s victory, Kaluya Fort Feng is designated as the capital of the country
The dignified gaze of Justin, Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs of the Harvey Kingdom, looked at Kaluya Castle slowly entering from the carriage window. The vast sky in the far east, the afterglow of the setting sun is gradually disappearing, and the line of sight is At the end is a large area of farmland, wilderness and woods. There are not many people in the city, and there are almost no shops in the streets
"It seems that the rumors of Martin Liya people hating merchants are true, even the king is like this, other areas can be imagined"
Sitting across from Justin, a middle-aged man in a black dress flashed his eyes and said that he is Habiasos. He is still above Justin, an important member of Harvey’s royal family. One of the main purposes of this visit is to discuss with the Kingdom of Martin Liya about the division of the southern part of the religious regime. After a mess of fighting with each other, each has its own losses. The Kingdom of Harvey also has to admit, think It is unrealistic to squeeze out the Martin Liya from the southern part of the Order. Since everyone has the same goal, it is better to cooperate with each other and squeeze out the weakest Ikar from the southern part of the Order.
"Your Excellency Habiasos is right. The Martin Liya people are not good at commerce, and they have a hostile attitude towards merchants. For a long time, merchants were going to be put to death in the Martin Liya Kingdom. "Foreign Affairs Minister Justin said respectfully, "The reason why the Martin Liya people hate merchants can even be traced back to the founder of the Martin Liya Kingdom, Astan I.
"Any businessman is a liar and should be nailed to the stake and burned to death." This is the original words of the great King." Justin's voice paused, and he looked far-sighted to the street outside, sighing Said, "It is precisely because of this that the Martin Liya people are looting, and they have accumulated considerable wealth in more than a hundred years. However, those who have truly become national power may not reach two or three out of ten, and there are a lot of iron, gold and silver. It just melts away and turns it into crude combat equipment and decorations. If all this wealth is given to the Harvey Kingdom, my Harvey Kingdom would have long been the overlord of Southern Obaro, and there needs to be united with the cult nations. In order to fight against the suppression of the Erot"
"Oh, is it true that the rumor that His Majesty the King suffered a big loss in the hands of merchants?" Habiasos asked curiously. He had only heard that Martin Liya hated merchants before, but the specific reason But I don’t know, I didn’t expect to involve the founder of the Kingdom of Martin’s Tooth, known as the lion of Southern Obaro, Astan I. That is a powerful and rough generation of heroes who unified the divided Martin’s Tooth prairie. After integrating the forces of the various parts of the prairie, it also launched frequent foreign wars. In ten years, the newly born Martin Liya kingdom was like a greedy glutton, constantly plundering and occupying nearby lands, and the territory also moved from Kaluya Fort to east and west. Each expanded six or seven hundred miles, almost twice the original Martin Liya Prairie, which truly formed the foundation of the Martin Liya Kingdom!
"It is true. One hundred and sixty-six years ago, Astan I personally led the army and attacked the four vassal kingdoms of Fazer in one fell swoop. The entire Obalo was shaken, and the 200,000 troops of Fazer Kingdom rushed south. , The two sides broke out in the Harry River near the west coast. At this time, it was cold winter. Martin Leya’s army rations could not be followed. He had to spend ten times the price to buy food from the merchant at a high price. As a result, the merchant was a liar. With the property of the Martin Leyas ran away, the Martin Leyas fell into a desperate situation of food shortages. In desperation, Astan I had no choice but to force the army to fight against the Fei Zejun ahead of time. In the end, the Martin Leyas were defeated by Fei Zejun because of insufficient preparations. Counterattack"
"Not only the original occupied area was lost, but the Fazers were forced to sign a no-invasion agreement. "Justin's voice paused and his eyes were taken back from the carriage." It was located in the inland thousands of people. For the first time in 1988, the Martin Leyas were so close to the west coast, and they even felt the warmth of the ocean monsoon, and they were beaten head-on. Not only were more than 110,000 elites killed in battle, they also led the Martin Leya kingdom to the west coast. The pace of expansion was stopped. King Astan I, who was sixty-four years old at the time, became ill after returning home. He could not afford to be ill. He finally died in the spring of the following year. In the following hundred years, the Kingdom of Martin Liya had counted To the west, trying to fulfill the last wish of Astan I, has never been so close."
After hearing Justin’s words, Habisos looked silent and said with a helpless wry smile, "Actually, we are not qualified to make fun of the Martin Liya people. The Martin Liya people are eager to get the treasure of the West Coast. We Harvey People are not the same for decades of fighting for an outlet to the inland sea, and only now have they seen the dawn"
"As a completely landlocked country, not only does the export of goods have to be held back and high taxes are imposed, but also the spread of various science and technology circulating in the north and south is also behind the average level. Take a look at Martin Lee The status quo of Ya knows that until now, the Kingdom of Martin Liya is still in the stage of tribal rule, and the military technology is at least more than 50 years behind the north."
"Master Habisos is right. Although Martin Liya cavalry is strong, it is also in contrast to the characteristics of our southern horses. If compared with the imperial cavalry that dominates the mainland in the north, The fiasco of the battle of the sacred capital of the sect nation has explained everything. The empire was only 30,000 cavalry participating in the war, and nearly 100,000 people from the four-nation coalition army in the south were turned on their backs. Even the famous generals like His Royal Highness Prince Rutelli died on the edge of the sacred capital. As the main force of the cavalry, Martin Leya Army is said to have destroyed most of its combat power in a direct encounter, but it can't even touch the hair of the opponent's horse, and it will no longer be able to participate in the war. The gap is really impressive. Shudder!" Justin also ugly shook his head
The North-South War interrupted the backbone of the South against the North. Although the scale of the Holy Capital War was much smaller than the North-South War, its impact was greater. It can be said that it completely chilled the heart of the South. It is said that the main reason for the defeat in the North-South War is the disadvantage of the southern command. Then the battle of the Holy Capital will show the huge gap in combat power between the two sides more obviously
What does this show? It means that two years have passed. The gap caused by the North-South War did not decrease, but it was getting bigger and bigger. After the victory of the North-South War, the empire contained the power of victory and first suppressed and split the powerful southern power Feze. , And then brought the six central countries into the imperial camp. With the defeat of the Erot Empire, the entire southern inland sea line has completely become the territory of the empire. Therefore, the empire can directly dispatch one at the most critical moment of the Holy Capital War. The cavalry took the lead in occupying the Holy Capital, and even if the Allied Forces of the Southern Four Nations succeeded in ambushing the Putamiya Army northward, they would eventually have to hate the Holy Capital. Not only did it cause the loss of 80,000 fresh troops, but also caused the death of two princes of the Four Kingdoms One prisoner, more than 20 people were captured by the generals who died in battle. This is the worst battle against the north in the past two years.
With the arrival of two special envoys from the Harvey Kingdom, the Kingdom of Martin Liya also sent a high-level officer in charge of military affairs, Earl Remchat, to participate in the negotiation. This is a man with silver-white hair and almost transparent The middle-aged man with eye pupils, he invited Habisos to the location, not his official residence or even a private house, but a small salty mountain basin north of Kaluyafeng Fort
A manor is built on the shore of a lake like a horizontal mirror, and its owner is one of Remchat’s lovers
The young Remchat is a beautiful man who is famous throughout Southern Europe. Even now, he is handsome and fascinated by many women. In his body, he can hardly see the unique Martin Liya people. Savage temperament, but gives people an aristocratic atmosphere, like an erudite scholar, so much so that he had been to the Gangfei Kingdom in the north for a full ten years, and he was not found to be one. Martin Liyaren,
"How many lovers do you have?"
Someone had asked him the same question before. Remchart did not answer immediately, but was thinking with a serious expression, and then replied with an almost cheeky bright smile, "If you don’t use ten as a unit, , I’m afraid it’s not over!" It seems a bit exaggerated, but it’s not completely bragging
"The mellow and fragrant beauty, the delicious food that seems to melt the tongue, the heart-shattering music, the graceful beauty, this kind of life is not wasted"
However, no one believed what he said, because it was he who conspired to kidnap a princess from the Congo Fei Empire and sold it to the Fazers nine years ago, motivating the Congo Fei emperor to personally recruit Feize. Initiating the Six-Year War between the Congolese Empire and Feize in the south, the Congolese Emperor failed to conquer the South, and the Congolese national power was greatly damaged. Later, the Falcon Empire in the northwest was beaten by the Falcon Empire and had to move to Beijing, laying the ground for the demise of Congolese and Fei. Foreshadowing!
"In this discussion about the division of the southern part of the ecclesiastical state, I don’t know if Master Habisos has any better suggestions. There are eleven provinces in the south, and our Martin Liya only accounts for six. It’s hard to be convincing. After all, in this battle, my King, the Crown Prince, personally led the army. If the value of the alliance between the two sides is only this, why do we have an alliance?" Remchat placed the wine glass on the marble table, looking calmly. With the alert look of Habisos
"I think the value of the alliance is not in a few provinces, but because we have a common enemy!"
Habisos said with a solemn face, facing Remshat, he had to be careful
This is not an ordinary person. It is the white fox Remshat. When mentioned in Southern Europe, it is enough to make people feel cold. To put it bluntly, the fall of the empire is inescapable of him. If it weren’t for his plan, the Congolese Empire would not be trapped in the Fazer War for six years, so that the country was shaken, and the Falcon Empire rising from the north would take advantage of it. The Falcon Empire cannibalize step by step
If it weren’t for this person, Fazer in the south would not have lost power due to the protracted war between Congo and Fei. The royal family of Fazer took the opportunity to take power back, and eventually broke out the royal family and army that would shake the entire Fazer Kingdom. The end result of the Fang’s civil war was that the main force of the military was destroyed, the royal family collapsed, and Fazer split! Martin Liya can be said to be effortless. And defeated the old enemy Faze
If it weren't for the Falcon Empire to occupy the southern part of Fazer, the Martin Leya Army would have leaped from the west coast of the Marathon to realize the dream of the Martin Leya people for more than 100 years! It can only be said that after all, it is better to count people!
"Common enemy?" It takes a few seconds for Remchart to swallow the wine glass. He suddenly smiled and said, "You mean the empire in the north? Probably not, say. In the end, there is no fundamental contradiction between us and the empire. Although we have fought in the battle of the holy capital, we are the one who loses. Therefore, the first person the empire has to deal with should not be our Martin Liya, but your Harvey Kingdom. , And it is now during the great annual meeting of the empire. Generals and governors from all over the world have returned to the great sea city of the empire. The possibility of using troops in a short period of time is unlikely"
"Betrayed by a companion whom I trusted for decades, I am afraid I will forget it!"
Rem Chateau slightly squinted his eyes." Instead, you are doing it for the current situation, but you have been preparing for 20 years. Others don’t know what happened to the rebellion in the southern mountainous area of the Order. Isn’t the Pope’s unclear? You almost killed her in the Battle of the Holy City. Do you think this Valkyrie will swallow this breath? This time the empire has funded her millions Imperial Gold, according to intelligence, this female pope has reorganized the Knights Templar, and the scale has increased dramatically!"
"What is the so-called big increase?"
"I heard that the Templars have expanded to 20,000, and the Guardians are 200,000!"
Remshat’s almost colorless eyes gleamed white under the light, and what he said changed Habisos’ face, and their Harvey Kingdom’s intelligence network did not have such detailed data. This turned out to be detected by the intelligence network of Martin Liya, who has always given other countries a rude and arrogant impression
"I heard that the empire in the north had cleaned up part of the spy network in the south some time ago. It seems that the Harvey Kingdom’s loss is not small. Alice, talking to himself
"What do you mean by your excellency?" Habisos's face was slightly angry, and the other party lowered his voice, but it didn't mean he couldn't hear it.
For the imperial suppression of Harvey’s spy network, Harvey has always been regarded as a shame. In addition, in the battle of the Holy Capital, the highest level of death was Prince Rutelli of Harvey Kingdom, a dignified generation of famous generals. In the Wetlands of Sasheng Capital, Prince Rutelli is the main person in charge of the affairs of the sect state. Whether it is planning the rebellion in the southern part of the sect country or a series of follow-up actions, Prince Rutelli can be said to be the core figure
As a result, now that Prince Rutelli is fighting the Holy Capital, the original established strategy is not modified. The original plan was to consume the troops of the other three countries in the battle of the Holy Capital, and then Prince Rutelli led 30,000 The Harvey Army went south to seize the opportunity, and cooperated with the main force of the Harvey Kingdom. It occupied the southern part of the Order. Now it has become a three-legged stand between the Harvey Kingdom, Martin Liya and the Ikar. If Prince Rutelli does not die, he will never die. There is no need to come to discuss anything with Martin Liya, because His Royal Highness must have planned everything, but Prince Rutelli is dead, so the broken follow-up plan and key cannot be carried out.
Negotiating with Martin Liya is really helpless
"I just sigh with emotion and have no other meaning. In fact, Martin Liya has suffered a lot of losses. I didn't expect that the Empire would suddenly do that. There is also the Ministry of Supervision, which is simply a group of hounds." Remshat shrugged slightly apologetically. In fact, Remshat did it deliberately for the scandal that Harvey’s kingdom turned a corner from the empire some time ago and was severely repaired by the empire
It is said that it caused the imperial emperor's anger, and the imperial supervision department was dispatched across the board. An invisible storm of blood almost uprooted the layout that the southern countries had infiltrated in the past two years, and the Kingdom of Martin Liya was also affected and sent to the north to collect All kinds of intelligence personnel, only three or four out of ten came back, but there were not many people sent by the Kingdom of Martin Liya, and the empire seemed to have left some affection and did not rush to kill, so it was still acceptable.
The spy network of the Harvey Kingdom, which is mainly used to provoke the emperor’s wrath, is said to be out of ten. Because of the total blockade of the Imperial Navy, these Harvey background people cannot escape and return to their country. All the searches were done,
Remshat shook his head with an ugly face, deliberately pretending that he did not expect the loss of the Harvey Kingdom’s spy personnel, which has affected Harvey Kingdom’s normal intelligence on the Order, and it really made Habiso. Si began to sit still. "Your Excellency can tell me such important information. I am really grateful, but I believe that the spy network of the Harvey Kingdom should have more detailed information."
Habisos knew that Putamia had assembled such a force, he could still sit there, and the omission of the intelligence network made him feel frustrated, and he hurriedly left Remshat’s villa in embarrassment. The matter must be reported to the country immediately, otherwise he will be irresponsible to the tens of thousands of Harvey troops in the cult now, and he will also ask the domestic intelligence department what to eat,
When did the intelligence network of the Martin Litooth overtake the Harvey intelligence network? This time I was really embarrassed. I was beaten alive, but I didn’t know it. I stood in the window of the villa lobby. Before, watching Habisos boarded the carriage and hurried away, Remshat gave a sinister smile
This discussion is about dividing the southern part of the cult. Remchat, as the representative of Martin Liya, knows that in terms of military strength, the Kingdom of Harvey occupies the main force, with a total of 80,000 Harvey troops, and it is still Twenty years of preparations are far from being comparable to Martin Liya’s 50,000 cavalry rushing into ~IndoMTL.com~, so Harvey will inevitably ask for the best advantage, and he directly beat Harvey with this information. The human face warns the Harvey people, if the Harvey Kingdom cannot withstand Pudamia's counterattack, what right do they have to talk about the division here! Both parties are hypocritically perfunctory to each other, but they know it naturally inside, but they don't tell the truth. What really determines everything is strength!
"My lord, just tell Harvey the news that we have spent a lot of money on, is it a bit too sloppy," a young officer of Martin Liya said hesitantly. In fact, this information is Martin Liya. It took a lot of money to detect it. More than six intelligence personnel blew blood, but Remchart’s intentional performance seemed to be easy to get at hand
"Don’t tell Harvey, do you want us Martin Liya to fight against Putamia’s 200,000 army"
Remshat turned around from the window with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. "I deliberately irritated the Harvey to make the Harvey think that Pudamia’s first target is them. In fact, Puda I am afraid that Mia has no intention of going south. The 200,000 army, half of them are newcomers. Even if Putamia is really a Valkyrie, it is impossible to change the situation that she cannot go south in the short term."
Remshat paused in his voice and continued, "But it is different now. After receiving the news, the Harvey Kingdom will inevitably ask for confirmation, and then it will inevitably increase its military strength. The Harvey Kingdom does not know that the more troops they increase, The more I am forcing Pudamia to go south in advance! No matter who overwhelms who in the end, I Martin Liya can wait for an opportunity. What the Imperial Cavalry did in the Battle of the Holy Capital, can't our Martin Liya Cavalry do it? "
"It turns out that there is that kind of strategy. Adults are really admirable." The young officer's expression admired the five bodies (Tianjin Novel Website https://)
