Realm of Power

In a room of the Imperial Academy, after the fat man reviewed the report in his hand, he placed the report heavily on the table and looked at Hu Keqili and Rashal standing below with a strong tiger's gaze. Hu Keqi Li has already adapted to this kind of gaze, and there is no big pressure. The first meeting with the Emperor was another matter. He lowered his head and felt the heavy pressure coming from the direction of the Emperor. He also did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would find out that he was accompanying Hu Keqi. After the force arrived, he directly asked Hu Keqili to bring him in.

"So Bonnie ignored everyone's opinions and forcibly rejected the request for help from the Southwest District?"

The fat man sat on a large brown-red chair with a sharp corner. He tapped his fingers on the table and looked at the adjutant general of the Northern Army. Although the dusty face of Rashal was not tall, he was Very strong. Rashal didn't know that his transfer from a logistics quartermaster in the Putao garrison to the position of deputy commander of the Empire's Northwestern Army in Gangfei was actually done by the fat man himself.

Polish Bonnie is not good at logistics. Tens of thousands of troops are stationed in the deserted land. If there is no capable person in logistics, it will not be long before the Northern Army of Congo will collapse due to supply problems. Therefore, the fat man specially selected a person. A logistics quartermaster who was good at this role served as the adjutant-general. Although La Salle was not well-known, the battle between the empire and the south of Congo lasted for more than a month. The border was fought, the south was fought, and Baluta was also fought.

Mountains of all kinds of supplies were shipped out from the Putao area, and there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages transporting supplies. It was common for them to be dozens of miles long. The logistical mobilization of 200,000 imperial troops was an absolute mess, not counting those who followed the regular army. The various forces trying to fish in the troubled waters behind were left to this sturdy-looking logistics quartermaster to bear all the burden.

It is said that during that time, the Rashal logistics officer squatted in the material warehouse every day and invented a formula specifically used to calculate the combination of material logistics supplies and the number of soldiers. Although it was not a complete correspondence and there were more or less troubles, it ensured the basic supply of the army for normal operations and did not let the entire campaign fall apart.

As a result, the first thing to be brought down was Gangfei's logistics, which had a huge logistics department.

Such a logistics manager who can handle a total of more than 600,000 people, just think about it and you will know what an incredible talent he is. If it were not for the special care given to Bonnie Berlant, the fat man would have transferred Lasalle to the emperor. **The Ministry of Affairs serves as the chief logistics officer,

Of course, Rashal didn't know what the emperor was thinking. He was extremely nervous under the emperor's gaze. He was a logistics officer, not a frontline combat officer. Under the emperor's murderous eyes, he felt that every bone in his body was chilling.

When he heard the emperor's question, he could only bite the bullet and said with a trembling voice.

"Yes, Lady Bonnie believes that although the Rila Kingdom has put on an attack posture, the combat power the empire showed in the battle against the coalition forces has shocked the Central European Barrow. So the Rila people will not be able to do so for the time being. Once the troops from the southwest region enter during the attack, it will affect the empire's overall plan! "

"Comprehensive plan? What does she mean?" Rarely, the fat man was a little surprised.

Beads of sweat began to flow from Rashal's forehead unconsciously, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, please don't get me wrong. Lady Bonnie just said that the terrain in the north of Congo is flat and vast. In addition, the city is almost completely destroyed, so the army has no worries and can move freely. Feel free to do so." .

"That is simply a natural battlefield arranged by His Majesty for the Empire!"

Rashal's voice trembled and his face suddenly turned pale. He didn't know why his head was so full of blood that he said such rebellious words, or he was so frightened that he didn't even know how he could say these things. There were beads of sweat on his forehead and flowing down his cheeks,

"That's all?" The fat man looked at him, his tone was surprisingly calm,

Rashal said in a trembling voice, "Ms. Bonnie also said that since His Majesty appointed a woman as the commander of the Northern Congo Army and gave such a large piece of land, isn't it just for the Central European Barrow Alliance opposite? Well, even if you don’t have the guts at first, if you see that the owner is just a proud and incompetent woman, someone will take action after a long time.”

"Presumptuous, do you know what you are talking about!" Hu Keqili couldn't stand it anymore and finally couldn't help but stop him. This guy was frightened and confused and started talking nonsense. He was simply talking in front of everyone. Your Majesty’s face. Pointing at His Majesty’s nose, he said that he was deliberately trying to use this piece of fat in northern Congo to attract troops from the Central European Barrow Alliance!

This is simply a naked threat, making fun of the 60,000 Imperial Army! But unexpectedly, Hu Keqili saw that His Majesty Falcon on the seat did not make a sound, but narrowed his eyes slightly into a line with a shuddering look, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees.

"It can't be..." Hu Keqili could hear the sound of his throat rolling. Suddenly, an order from some time ago flashed through Hu Keqili's mind like lightning. Suddenly, Hu Keqili felt My head was numb, and my heartbeat was unsatisfactorily heavy for a few times.

He remembered that just half a month ago, His Majesty requested the Ministry of Imperial Affairs to transfer a full Imperial Guards Flag Regiment to the Putau area because of a report from Varisien, the governor of Putau and the southern region of Congo. It means that local smuggling is intricately involved. If we only use local I am afraid that it will be difficult to effectively remove the strength, so I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will mobilize a directly affiliated force. His Majesty the Emperor ordered the mobilization of the Third Flag Regiment of the Guards Corps. The leader of the flag regiment shined in the Battle of the Great Swamp in the south of Congo. Jagelins, one of the two famous imperial generals,

The Third Banner Regiment of the Guards went to Putau to combat smuggling. Hu Keqili thought this was His Majesty's statement on severely suppressing smuggling in the Putau area. The Imperial Guards Corps is personally responsible for cutting off the source of smuggling, even if the smugglers continue to His magical power is so vast that he cannot survive even with the local protection network. It is just a seemingly inconspicuous transfer. In the past, there was also a precedent for the Imperial Guard to combat smuggling in the Palaven area, so Hu Keqili did not care.

But if it is combined with the current situation where the war is about to break out, Hu Keqili suddenly felt a chill rushing from his tailbone straight into his mind. It's terrible. If this is the case, then His Majesty's big game is ruthless. Rashal may not know how big the situation will be involved in this game. He thinks that His Majesty is mainly targeting the Central European Barrow Alliance, but as an emperor* Hu Keqili, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is very clear. Your Majesty is targeting the entire Central European Barrow. Once the Central European Barrow Alliance sends troops to the north of Africa, the European Barrow countries will begin to take sides. Should they support the Central European Barrow or the Falcon Empire?

There is no market for neutrals in this war in which the four major forces of Central and European Barrow are sweeping across Central and European Barrow. The most likely possibility is that they will be attacked from both sides by the Falcon Empire and the Istan Alliance, or by the Central and European Barrow and Feishan Alliance. , because no matter whether it really switches to the side of the Central European Barrow Alliance. After defeating the main force of the Central and European Barrow Alliance, the Falcon Empire will ruthlessly use this momentum to sweep away these backyard weeds, and the remaining Gangfei are even worse. The Central and European Barrow Alliance forces in the background have all fallen, and the empire is still Is it necessary to keep this little tail?

This is a big game to lure the snake out of its hole. Your Majesty has laid a murderous ambush in Putao, and the one who started the whole game is the northern part of Gangfei, which is currently at war with others but showing signs of slackness. The Central European Barrow Alliance wants to To take advantage of the war between the Istan people and the Feshan people to rise. His Majesty is also calculating this war that has been scheduled for a long time. Although it has not been expressed publicly, this war has shown that the Falcon Empire and the Istani are an alliance, while Central Europe Barrow and Feishan are an alliance. Big situation for Barrow.

It’s just that the Central European Barrow Alliance seems a little cautious, while His Majesty is simply pretending to be stupid. What’s beautiful is that Bertrand Bonnie is the emperor’s lover known to the entire empire. The only female army commander of the empire, she has a tacit understanding and cooperates seamlessly with His Majesty. She is truly an invincible master and disciple.

After thinking about this, Hu Keqili felt that many things that he could not understand before suddenly became brighter, and his eyes shuddered as he glanced at His Majesty Falcon, who was sitting in his seat and didn't know what he was thinking.

An Imperial Guards banner regiment has a full strength of 20,000 people. Under normal circumstances, it includes a Thor squadron of about 50 Thors, four combat squadrons, 8,000 close combat infantry, and 11,000 Imperial crossbowmen. , and an unknown number of imperial heavy crossbows. Such combat power is obviously insufficient to intervene in the battle in northern Congo. However, the underground market in the Putao area can There are hundreds of Thors that have been shipped over a long time ago, with all the artillery shells and supplies, and the gunners are directly transferred from the local Navy Department. In terms of transportation, there is a dense water network in the Great Lakes area leading directly to the central and northern parts. With a secret order, these Thors can be There will be 20,000 Guards armed to the teeth going north, combined with the original 50,000 Congolese Northern Army, which will definitely exceed the combat power of a main army.

This means that once the Central European Barrow Alliance breaks into the northern part of Congo, they will brutally find that the front is the dense defense line of Thor, the north is the 100,000 elites of Salon in the southwest region, and the south is Valicion's 50,000 southern Confederates. Garrisoned troops, they faced a huge three-party encirclement situation. People are more likely to die than others! These monarchs of the Central European Barrow Alliance will be beaten to death or crippled this time!

"Since Bonnie thinks she can handle it, let's just wait and see what happens!" The fat man stood up and waved his hands, with a painful expression indicating that he wanted to be alone, which seemed to further confirm some rumors. His Majesty the Emperor set up the Northern Gangfei The legion is a special organization designed entirely to take care of Bertrand Bonnie alone.

Using thousands of miles of fertile land and a powerful position as a legion commander to please his mistress while still under the watchful eyes of powerful enemies is definitely a major failure of His Majesty the Emperor, who is known as the God of War. Such rumors probably also come from His Majesty. Take your own instructions! Hu Keqili thought maliciously, otherwise the news that a woman named Bertrand Bonnie had been appointed to such an important position as the commander of the Northern Army of the Empire in the New Capital, where all the eyes and ears of the Empire gathered, would have been revealed in a It had been spread a few months ago, giving the China-Europe Barrow Alliance one month to make plans. Whatever it takes should be enough, but I don’t know where the change in His Majesty’s words is!

The raindrops hit the densely packed roofs of Luo Anlin, the capital of the central province of Congo, like an unknown flower blooming.

This is the capital of Watt, one of the only four remaining provinces of the Congo Empire. It is also the current royal capital of the Congo Kingdom. It is a city with a history of 1,100 years. You can see the ancient ruins left by the vicissitudes of time everywhere. There were not many people on the streets in the morning. From an empire to a kingdom, the whole area seemed to be shrouded in a mist of sadness.

Marcos, the former Minister of Military Affairs of the Congo and now the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Congo, walked towards the carriage parked outside the official residence. Today is the eighth birthday of the little emperor. As the imperial prime minister, he is also preparing to submit his resignation report to the little emperor on this day. , the pressure of Gang Fei's sudden collapse filled him with self-blame,

He made this decision on the night when he announced the surrender of the Imperial Border Guards. He is already old and exhausted, not to mention courage, courage, and determination. The emperor needs a new and energetic prime minister. Although Gang is not only an area of ​​four provinces, it still has a population of 10 million and a A standing army of 5,000 men is still the foundation of the empire

"My lord! This is your cloak!" The adjutant saw him coming. He quickly handed over the marshal's cloak in his hand. At this time, there was a loud noise from the direction of the guards outside. A dozen young officers were arguing with the guards there. There are not a few people in the country who hate Marcos, so The Ministry of Military Affairs specially assigned a hundred guards to follow them. The guards opened a human wall outside the door. The officers were prevented from crossing the human wall.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Marcos stopped. His eyes glanced at the dark green uniforms of the officers behind the human wall, and he asked with a slight frown.

"Sir, he is an officer of the Ivy Legion! The other party requested to send a representative to see your Lord!" After the adjutant walked over to ask, he came back with an ugly face and reported.

The Ivy League is the nickname of the youth army in the newly formed standing army. They are all composed of elite officers personally selected by Marcos. The tragic defeat in Congo made Marcos see the fact that the old Congo military system was intricately intertwined. The people are superfluous, the fighting power is low, and it is already in a state of decay. Only the new ivy growing from this dead tree is the future of Gang Feijun.

The entire Ivy League has about 1,500 people, all of whom have been on the battlefield and have undergone rigorous military training. This is where Marcos gave hope. The 15,000 standing army is obviously unable to cope with the future development of Gangfei, but this is The treaty limit is dead, so we can only find other ways. Although the Ivy Legion only has 1,500 people, if these 1,500 people are trained according to the standards of officers, if necessary, it will be 1,500 people. A hundred elite officers are the skeleton of a hundred thousand strong non-army forces!

"Let their representatives come over!"

Marcos nodded. On his last day as a soldier, it was a relief to be seen off by a junior whom he had high hopes for. The adjutant brought his order over. Soon, a handsome young man with blond curly hair appeared. The officer came over led by the adjutant

"What's the matter with you?" Marcos said in a rare kind tone.

"Sir Marcos, I am your admirer!" The young officer with blond curly hair said excitedly. "No matter what the outside world says, I know that it is you who are protecting this country from harm! I heard that your Excellency will come to you today." It is truly a pity for the Empire that His Majesty the Emperor has submitted his resignation!”

"Thank you!" Marcos' face was stunned.

"Sir Marcos, can I ask you one last question?" the young officer said in an excited tone.

"What's the problem?" Seeing that it was one of his admirers, Marcos' expression softened.

"Sir, you have always advocated reasonable sacrifices when necessary, and have tenaciously protected this country from harm. But if one day, you find that you are the biggest danger to this country, what will you do?" The young officer's face rose. With a touch of redness and bloodshot eyes, he spoke every word, looking very excited. Marcos's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at the young officer. After a while, he said, "If you find yourself, you will be the greatest danger to this country." , I will also choose to eradicate myself! "

"Eradicate? I hope you can match your words and deeds!" The young officer stared at Marcos, raised his hand on his chest, gave Marcos a military salute, turned around and left, and a dozen officers quickly disappeared into the distance.

"Asshole, sir, do you need me to notify the Ministry of Military Affairs to arrest all these bold guys? These guys are getting more and more arrogant!"

The adjutant said angrily next to him, "They have no idea how much you have paid for this country, and why you established the Ivy Legion. The empire can no longer afford the war, and the Falcon Empire is also staring at us eagerly. Any change is bound to be a disaster. Even after those Ruila people came, more and more young people shouted that they wanted to regain their homeland, and their brains have been washed away with blood! "

"Go to the palace!" Marcos smiled bitterly. It's a good thing that the Emperor's people still have a trace of blood, not to mention that it is the Ivy League that he values ​​the most. Although Gang Fei has been removed from the title of Emperor, within Gang Fei , or call the emperor,

Marcos sat in the carriage and looked outside through the window. The raindrops blurred the scene of the street. The words of the young officer just now were rolling in his mind. Is that so? It turns out that I have become the biggest danger to this country. At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped at the entrance of a hundred-meter-long straight passage. The front end of this passage was the residence of the emperor. In the past, there were always people coming and going here, but Today there is no one, only the raindrops pattering on the eaves of the houses on both sides of the long road, falling to the ground and turning into crystal clear water spray.

The adjutant's voice sounded outside, "Sir, why don't you take a different route today? I always have a bad feeling!"

"No, don't be suspicious! Today is the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor. As the Prime Minister of the Empire, I should be the first one to celebrate." Marcos' solemn voice came from the carriage.

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant nodded helplessly and asked the convoy to continue moving forward. The long empty passage made his hair stand on end! Ahead was the sentry post of the Qingteng Army. He was also cheering himself up. There were at least a hundred guards accompanying the team, so there shouldn't be any problems! (To be continued...)
