I Will Be The Crowned King

I will surely be crowned king Chapter 466 The value of negotiation

On July 5th, almost at the same time when the last Crusaders arrived in Yangfan City, the Crusaders Command, who ruled that the Grand Commander of the Knights, Glad Manfred, wished to negotiate, had already passed the information network of the Untrustworthy Knights. passed to Anson.

On the 10th, the official letterhead was also sent to the front positions of Beluga Port, Grey Snow Town and Red Hand Bay through the messengers of the front-line warring troops.

"Eternal God Emperor"

Although the jihadist army representing the Ring of Order negotiated with the pagan Free Confederation, which they said should go to hell, it seems absurd to think, but at least on the surface, it is very sincere: as early as the morning of the 8th, before the arrival of the letter, The Mujahideen Command has ordered the armies to cease fire and withdraw their troops around Black Reef Harbor.

In particular, Arthur Herreid, who had just been awarded the title of "Holy Knight" by the Holy See, was immediately criticized by the high command for refusing to withdraw his troops, and ordered the Ludwig Legion to withdraw from the battlefield immediately. Provide logistical support to Arthur Hereid.

Such tough measures will obviously have a very bad impact on morale, but they have really done enough to make the Free Confederation really believe that the other side is really planning to negotiate.

After all, the gap between the strengths of the two sides is here. In the war, the territory and population of the Free Confederacy are being lost every moment, while the soldiers and supplies of the Mujahideen Army are inexhaustible. The Free Confederation is also absolutely advantageous.

The most important point is that, in a sense, this is what the Free Confederation resisted and fought for.

The premise of negotiation is mutual recognition and equivalence, and the cause of this war is that the Empire refuses to recognize the independence of the Free Confederacy - the members of the Free Confederation themselves think so - if it can be negotiated to obtain the approval of the Holy See, even if it must pay a certain amount. The price is not unacceptable.

"Recognized by the Holy See? Become an independent country in the world of order? This... Are the brains of these people eating bread, what are they thinking of?!"

On the morning of the third day after arriving in Ashesnow Town, Carl Bain, who had been lying flat for two days and two nights and finally woke up, was still drowsy for a second. When he saw the wishes of the Confederate members on the letterhead, his blood pressure suddenly rose, and he stared at him. It was the bloodshot eyes that immediately became energized: "The other party is about to say that this is a trap, and they are still ready to jump in happily?!"

The words fell, and the officers of the Storm Legion all had similar expressions; Norton Crosell sighed, Leo and Alexei sneered and sneered, and Julien even blushed. It seems that he feels aggrieved that he is fighting for himself and so many Paoze sacrifices but being used as a bargaining chip.

The attitudes of the others were basically different. They looked at the letter on the table with the eyes of a fool, completely disdainful of the innocence and weakness of the Free Confederacy and the "sincerity" of the Mujahideen Army.

After all, it has just successfully annihilated a full-staffed jihadist corps, or without the elite of the grenadier regiment, I have to say that the entire storm officer corps has begun to drift a little, if this is replaced by the Hantu War, even if it is During the Colonial War of Independence, if they heard that the Empire had sent hundreds of thousands of troops and had the endorsement of the Holy See, they had always regarded making money as their mission, and they would have kept their lives as the premise. and.

And now... whoever dares to initiate peace is a coward who has let down countless Clovis loyalists and put the lives and deaths of millions of colonists at risk—here is a derogatory term.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the officers present, they could not wait to set off immediately and rushed to the front line of Red Hand Bay to complain to Louis Bernard about their interests, and sent all the cowardly cavalry factions in the Free Confederation to the stake, and then assembled the heavy troops and the jihadist army. A grand final battle, winning independence and dignity for the new world, breaking the empire's millennium hegemony, and the order of the world has been reversed...

Well, Anson couldn't help but want to laugh out loud - because these dear subordinates, the acting skills are really excellent.

The officers at the battalion and company level may be okay, but the commanders who really stand at the core of the Storm Legion are all in their own hands... In the past, Anson had too little information, and he neither cared nor noticed it, until he gradually mastered this. It was only after the details behind the help officers that they realized that every military meeting was not their own one-man show, but a real group drama.

Behind Fabian are the intelligence agencies of the Royal Family of Osteria and the Clovis Army, so even if the Battle of Beluga Harbor was over, he did not immediately rush to Grey Snow Town to attend the meeting. send information

Norton is a member of the Truth Society, and these "sticks" who are keen to disrupt the situation hope that the New World War will thwart the Holy See's attempt to set foot in the secular again. Of course, they cannot accept the Confederacy's compromise so quickly;

Leo and Alexei have different backgrounds, but the situation is somewhat similar. In the Clovis Royal Army, one was born too low, and the other was simply a "black hukou", and he was also the middle-level officer with the deepest bond with the Storm Legion. Ending in a negotiated situation, the Storm Legion, which is already a rebel army, is at risk of being betrayed and liquidated... Those with vested interests like them belong to the most unacceptable group.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Julien, who seems to be the purest and has a good background... The situation is slightly similar to that of the original Anson - the one who was "suicided" by a gun in the military camp. He is willing to follow the Storm Legion to the new world without hiding his old age. The idea of ​​being sent by God naturally reacted extremely strongly to the negotiation.

As for the middle and lower-level officers at the battalion and company level, as well as the staff officers, military doctors, and logistics logistics... What they think, and what background or forces are driving them, it is not yet clear for the time being.

There is only one point... The only person who thinks the negotiation is ridiculous is really only Carl Bain from the perspective of strategic interests at the scene; seeing that the entire army is so united in support of him, the chief of staff who is always attacked by Anson even A little excited, I feel that after such a long time of running in, I finally have some prestige and recognition in everyone's mind.

"Also...not exactly that, is it?"

A not-so-unfamiliar voice interrupted Carl's self-movement. With a frozen expression, he and all the surprised officers turned their heads at the same time and looked at the figure sitting in the corner of the conference room.

Joseph, the deputy commander of the shooting corps, of course, everyone prefers to call him "Uncle Fabien". He sits like a veteran on guard in the most inconspicuous part of the room, just like the shooting corps under his charge. Like cannon fodder, they are only remembered when needed.

Finding himself attracting everyone's attention, Joseph remained unnerved, innocent and sincere like a more slick veteran than Carl: "I'm not saying the Chief of Staff was wrong, it's just that people don't think it's a special A good chance?"

"The Storm Legion has just experienced a major battle and needs to rest. Beluga Port has been besieged for nearly half a month and needs to be restored. Red Hand Bay has suffered a lot of losses and casualties after fighting for so long... Take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate with the enemy to take a breather, I don't see what's wrong with that?"

"It's not bad, it's just great!" Norton Crosell said coldly: "Just when the Free Confederation won a big victory and desperately needs a chance to recover its strength, what should the other party say, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? good thing?"

"I don't know, I'm not a believer in the Ring of Order."

Joseph spread his hands and smiled at the officers whose expressions were not very friendly: "But this is not a peace negotiation, it is just a negotiation... In this case, we don't necessarily have to negotiate in the direction of the end of the war!"

"Then what do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know, it shouldn't be up to me to decide."

Shaking his head at Alexei, Joseph still smiled: "I just don't understand why everyone reacts so much to the members of the Free Confederation, they just put forward their own suggestions and ideas, the decision is not Or in the hands of Sir Louis Bernard and Commander Anson?"

"But their remarks will definitely have an impact on tens of thousands of soldiers of the New Continent Legion!" Julien stood up, gasping for breath.

"And it is well known that Sir Louis Bernard has always worked hard to bring about peace between the Empire and the colonies. Once he gets the news, he will be shamelessly deceived by the enemy!"

"So you mean that Sir Louis Bernard is probably not in the same trench with us because of this."

Joseph thoughtful: "Well... this is really not good news. From now on, we should probably be vigilant about the imperial knights in Sail City."

"I-I didn't mean that!"

"But that's what you said, Sir Louis Bernard can't be trusted." He shook his head with a wry smile: "I just repeated your words again, is it just because it came out of my mouth, the meaning is different Yet?"

"This! This this... I... I didn't... didn't..."

"enough."

Karl stood up with a stern face and stopped Julien, who was blushing and wanted to defend himself: "Joseph, I understand what you mean, there is no need to explain anything further."

Joseph nodded understandingly. The two cooperated tacitly during the training of the shooting army, and they knew each other far better than other officers of the Storm Corps.

After settling the riots here, Karl turned his gaze to the culprit who caused the quarrel, the always confident commander-in-chief, Brigadier General Anson Bach - without his hint and permission, a person like Joseph who only cared about his own happiness would not do this. Deliberately offend others.

"I agree with Joseph's point of view. Of course, it's not that the chief of staff's judgment is wrong. The so-called negotiation is very likely to be a trap set up by the opposite side." Anson knocked on the letterhead on the table, and his eyes quickly swept across the crowd. Expression: "But the problem is also very clear. If you refuse to negotiate, it will firstly arouse the disgust of the Free Confederacy, and secondly, it will also shake the army in Sail City."

"That's right, we won the Battle of Slave Harbor, but the premise of winning is the cooperation of the colonial liberals and the continuous supply of manpower and material resources. What's more, this war is for them. Even if our judgment is correct, it is clearly not desirable to have complete disrespect for their attitudes and ideas."

"But that's the wrong idea!"

Julien couldn't help but said: "Do we know that it's a trap, we still want to jump into it?!"

"Of course... No, it should be said that because we know it's a trap, we should pretend to jump in!" Anson corrected: "Only in this way will the Mujahideen think we don't know it's a trap?"

"Really?" Carl raised his brows:

"But why do I think this will only make the Mujahideen think we're pretending we don't know it's a trap?"

"It's simple, then let's be sincere and pretend we don't know the Mujahideen and think we know it's a trap."

"No no no, I think it will only make the Mujahideen think we're pretending we don't know they know we're pretending it's not a trap."

"Then go a step further and pretend we don't know the Mujahideen and pretend we don't know they know us and pretend it's not a trap."

"No, no, no, I think the Mujahideen will just pretend..."

"Etc., etc…!

!

"

Alexei, who had a headache on his face, suddenly snatched it up, covered his head and looked at the two of them: "You, you...you...can you say it again?"

"Um?"

Anson and Carl looked at each other, stunned for a few seconds, and then tacitly swept their eyes to the little secretary in the other corner. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"It's actually very simple." Alan Dawn put down his pen in an orderly manner, picked up the minutes of the meeting and looked at everyone: "Master Anson hopes to paralyze the vigilance of the jihadist army, but Chief of Staff Carl believes that doing so will only be counterproductive."

"Um?!"

The answer was concise and to the point, but everyone's expressions were obviously more shocked.

The little secretary who was stared at like this scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry... I just think that in the current situation, if I explain it in a little more detail... it may not be appropriate."

"Uh... yes, yes... you did a great job."

Anson complimented him a few words, and made gestures subconsciously, and then looked at the crowd again: "Cough, cough! All in all, I think even if it is just to take into account the attitude of the Free Confederation, we should actively express our support for negotiation and avoid further negotiations. A lot of accidents have happened, and we can't let the other side accuse us of being loyal to Clovis for being a warmonger of war and breaking the peace for no reason!"

"Take this opportunity to let the Storm Legion rest and recover from the previous battle as soon as possible... Confederates, colonies, allies, are not worth relying on! We can always rely on ourselves and our comrades."

When the voice fell, An Sen smashed the table with his right fist "Bang!" and slowly got up: "From now on, all members of the Storm Legion will rest and try to recover within a week; the staff and logistics must do their best to ensure the supply of materials and facilities. , make no mistake!"

"Everyone else, get ready to negotiate—remember, this isn't just a negotiation, it's likely to be a bloodbath, understand?!"

"clear-!
