Realm of Power

In the summer when we first flew to the north, compared to the mountainous climate of Central Europe in Barrow, it was a little less majestic and cold in the mountains, and a little more daydreamingly warm.

As a plain area subject to the double radiation pressure of marine climate and tropical climate, this place has been a natural resting place since ancient times. At this time, mixed with the sea breeze, the vast land is covered with grass and trees, blue sky, blue sea, and large green wilderness. What is shown in front of you is wherever you look, the colorful earth like a big carpet , if this kind of terrain were placed on a large map of northern Congo, it would occupy two-thirds of the great plains. Only the area near the northeast has rolling mountains and dense jungle areas, turning the land into a line. The same small piece, a scene so bright that it makes the world transparent. When people are in it, they feel full of energy.

Pushing open the office from the outside, Falcon Empire intelligence officer France saw His Majesty Falcon holding his hand on the balcony on the third floor. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. There was also a secret report sent in the morning on the table. , which is a report on the rebellion in the Istan Empire,

"Your Majesty!" Francie stopped, his face a little embarrassed and nervous. It was all caused by this secret report. Who knew that he should have been paying attention to the Hungarians during this period, and something like this happened without paying attention. Speaking of which, It's also believable,

"It's not surprising that the former Feshan Eastern Governor Reza Bachi, who surrendered to the Istan Empire as a surrenderer a few years ago, turned out to be the secret agent of the Feshan people." The fat man walked in from the balcony extending outside the office and said Li said, "But to be able to stand in front of a lord like Emperor Thoradin I of Istan, the newly appointed naval affairs officer of the Istan Empire, He actually led an army of 30,000 privately recruited soldiers to suddenly attack the capital of Istanbul along the eastern coast of the Istanbul Empire. He even defeated the blocking Istanbul army three times in a row, and even seemed to be in a situation of approaching the capital. That was really shocking. People were shocked, but it was really unwise for Fei Shan to expose an important secret too early in order to save the crisis!"

The fat man picked up the secret report from his desk, handed it to a person in charge of the intelligence department who looked respectful behind him, and said in a cold voice

"But what surprises me most is that your intelligence department didn't pay any attention to such a secret that may affect the overall situation. Isn't it too derelict? Is it because the empire has been going smoothly in the past two years? Have you guys regressed?"

As a head of the Intelligence Department, France has been working in the Imperial Intelligence Department for three years and is extremely talented in intelligence gathering. He has thick black eyebrows and a capable face. He appears as the head of the northern branch of the empire in Gangfei. He is fully responsible for collecting intelligence on Central Europe's Barrow. Because the Istan Empire is also within the scope of Central Europe's Barrow, he is also responsible for the scope of work. Inside

At this moment, under the loud questioning of the fat man, beads of sweat appeared on France's forehead, and he smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, it's not that the intelligence department is incompetent. In fact, the people of Istanbul are extremely careful about us. Even though they tried several times, they couldn't get rid of us." Put someone in! As for the rebellious Governor Risabaqi, this person was mentioned in the previous report of our Intelligence Department."

"This man is from a branch of the Feishan royal family. He was once the governor of the Feishan Kingdom's Eastern Province," France said loudly. "Five years ago, the Emperor of Istan personally led an army of 200,000 to invade the Feishan Eastern Province. This Swiss Governor Sabaqi surrendered after being besieged for two months in an isolated situation. His subordinates believed that such a person would not be used too much even if he was enabled by the Emperor of Istan, so he was temporarily ignored. There is such a loophole! "

"Forget it, this incident is indeed unexpected. To be fair, the performance of the Imperial Intelligence Department in the past few years is still quite good." The fat man expressed his affirmation of the work of the Intelligence Department. "Especially the secret collusion with Congolese Minister of Military Affairs Fabgares, which is tantamount to directly laying the foundation for It is not the overall situation that has been solved, it can be called a divine intervention. "Pen" the fat man waved his hands with a gentle expression, and whispered to himself Nan Nan, "Even I didn't expect Fei Shan to have such a skill. Fei Shan was decisive, but just because there was some danger, she chose It’s still a bit puzzling to expose such an important secret.”

"Unless this is just one..." The fat man frowned slightly, and his voice paused. He seemed to have thought of something he had missed. He quickly walked to the hanging Barro map of Central Europe and asked, "What if the people of Istanbul want to go back?" Where is the nearest route for military rescue in China?

"If we want to return to the army for rescue, naturally the sea route is the closest!" Francie thought for a moment and said with certainty, "If we can board the ship on the Feishan coast, it will only take three to four days!"

"Feishan?" The fat man stared at the map and slowly stretched out his finger to draw a diagonal line along the map. It was a route extending from the coast of Feishan towards the capital of the Istan Empire. , crossing a strait-like sea area between Feishan and the Istan Empire,

"What did the Governor of Risabach do after he surrendered to the Istan Empire?" The fat man stared at this line, especially the peninsula waters like the strait, touched his chin, suddenly turned around, and asked in a cold tone. road

"According to information from the Navy Ministry, I heard that the Emperor of Istan appreciated his ability in the navy and appointed him as a regional governor. He also asked him to supervise the construction of the Navy of the Istan Empire. I heard that he was made a What the first Lord of the Navy meant! "The head of the Intelligence Department hesitated and said it clearly, indicating that he did not really have any general information about the Istan Empire.

"Supervise the construction of the navy? Are the Istani people going to build a navy? It's interesting. It seems that Thoradin I is a person who dares to try." The fat man blinked and glanced at the line he drew on the map, hesitating. After a moment, the rare man continued to ask solemnly and reluctantly, "In which empire does he supervise the construction of naval battleships?"

"It's in the Eastern Province." France, the head of the Intelligence Department, lowered his head and said respectfully, "As far as my subordinates know, the headquarters of the Istan Empire's naval construction is in the Eastern Province, and the Istan Empire that originally occupied the Eastern Province, It is also fully accepted that Fei Shan has several major naval ports there. Although the repair and shipbuilding docks and other equipment are a bit old, they can still be used as long as they take a rest! "

Eastern Province!

This word made the fat man's eyes light up. He looked at the section of the strait that the line crossed. The mark on it showed that it was the Eastern Province. He blinked and seemed to understand something. He suddenly grinned and said, " Interesting. If this is the case, it would be very interesting. What a decisive game. The Feishan people have planned this for several years and spent so much effort, even at the expense of half of the Feishan navy. What they planned is this!"

"Your Majesty, you mean that the Feshan people are going to ambush the returning troops of the Istan Empire here!"

Francie, who was standing behind, was looking at the line drawn by the fat man. Thinking of what I just said, I understood a little, but my face suddenly became horrified. Isn't this conjecture too scary? It would be fine if someone else said this, but it was His Majesty Falcon who said this. Then* *That's it for not leaving ten,

Francie quickly cleared up the relevant information in his mind.

The steady retreat on the battlefield attracted the Istan Empire to take the initiative to allow the Istan people to continuously mobilize troops from the country during this month in order to gain an advantage in the battle against Feishan. More than 200,000 troops were mobilized. In addition to a few legions stationed on important borders, the Istan Empire was almost at a stage of empty military strength. This is why Rishabachi threatened the Istan Empire with only 30,000 rebels marching north from the coastline. The imperial capital. If the domestic troops still existed, Governor Rishabachi would have been hung on the flagpole by Istan's counter-rebellion army, which would have caused such a shocking situation.

The result of all this is actually to attract the main force of the Istan Empire to return to the army with rebellion, and then rely on the strength of Feishan's navy to launch a decisive battle at sea that belongs to Feishan's home field. The Istantian army may be very powerful, but Once you reach the sea, you will be slaughtered by Feishan's navy.

This move is no longer just ruthless, but courageous. It requires someone who dares to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden to act as a covert player. It requires sacrificing enough fleets to make the Istan people think that the Kingdom of Feishan no longer has the power to fight at sea. The most difficult step is here. It's not these, but I don't know what means the Feshan people used to be able to persuade the governor of the Eastern Province of the Istan Empire. Only such an important official of the empire who rebelled can make this plan successful. If this battle succeeds, Not only did it cause a complete reversal of the Istan Empire's combat advantage over Feishan,

Instead, it paves the way for Feishan's next major counterattack. The imperial capital was destroyed, the reinforcements died in the battle, and it is conceivable that the Istan Empire's troops still stranded in Feishan are panicking. I am optimistic about Feishan in this battle! The fat man made an extremely certain judgment, which made France, the head of the Imperial Intelligence Department, tremble slightly after hearing this.

The rebellion in Istanbul has shaken the entire Central European Barron. Its impact is like a surprising strong wind sweeping across. Wherever it goes, it brings not only surprises, but also more changes to the current situation in Central European Barron. Guess how many countries need to adjust their national strategies according to the changes. Most people think that this rebellion The chaos will soon subside, but if Risabaqi really breaks through the imperial capital unexpectedly, it will be another matter. At that time, as long as Feishan holds back the main force of the Istan Empire, the Istan Empire will Those old enemies nearby who are watching all this with eager eyes will rush forward to eat up the Istan Empire, which is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

The showdown between the Hungarians and the Northern Hero, the life-and-death feud between the Istan Empire and the Feishan Kingdom, the Strand Navy defeating the Feishan Navy and reasserting its hegemony, the danger of the Istan Empire, the preparations of various countries, and the raging war in the Barro region of Central Europe , is actually a precursor to the biggest pattern change in three hundred years.

The remaining cold has not dissipated, the soldiers are stained with blood, and countless royal regiments who have been cultivating for decades have collided fiercely on this tragic battlefield, on this piece of land and sea, in just half a year. The earth is stained with blood!

"Now, it's time to throw in the chips!" The fat man stared at the map on the wall and sighed deeply. Due to civil strife, the Istan Empire stopped attacking Feishan and mobilized its troops to return to quell the chaos. In the end, it was eliminated. Killed at sea, the situation will change in at most half a month.

"What does your Majesty mean?" The middle-aged man from the Intelligence Department looked a little confused. Chips? What does your majesty mean? Is the empire going to intervene in the battle between Istan and Feishan?

"Why not?" the fat man said with a noncommittal smile. "It is inevitable that we will have a battle with the Istani people. We know it, and they also know it. The Istani people have been calculating us for more than a day or two. Hungary is rising and it seems that it is overpowering the Hungarian people." The whole country avenges the king. In fact, you and I know very well that the reason why the Hungarians dare to fight as a whole country and to leave the country empty is because there is a secret agreement with the Istanbul Empire behind them.

"According to the report sent by your Intelligence Department, the Istanbul Empire secretly sent a special envoy to have a secret meeting with the Hungarians in April. The content of the secret meeting is unknown. But after the secret meeting, the Istanbul Empire was initially cautious about raising troops across the country. The Prime Minister of Hungary's Eastern Army changed his previous attitude and chose to agree to "

"The one who actively pushed Hungary to fight as a nation was also the Prime Minister of the Eastern Army who had not expressed any opinions before. After making the decision, he immediately dispatched the most powerful Hungarian Eastern Army under his command and first opened the Hungarian Army. From the sudden battle, it is not difficult to judge the secret agreement between the Hungarians and the Istani people. The content is basically nothing more than the Istan Empire’s support for Hungary in controlling Barro in Central Europe, and Hungary’s secret alliance to help the Istan Empire contain the Falcon Empire. Fortunately, I immediately suspended the war with the Central Alliance after receiving your report. , Otherwise, it will be like doing the Hungarians a big favor in vain!”

The fat man paused and continued, "Just as the empire has focused its support on Rila, the Istan people have long focused their attention on Hungary, Hungary and Rila. These two kingdoms , one is the eastern portal of Central European Barro, and the other is the western portal of Central European Barro. They are both chess pieces that must be fought for in the overall situation. The Emperor Thoradin I of Istanbul. We know that if we defeat Gangfei and the Central European Barrow coalition, we will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to move eastwards in a large scale. Once we take advantage of the power of the Central European Barrow countries and move eastward, even the strength of the Istan Empire will be far away. That’s right. Finding Hungary as a support target to prevent the expansion of the empire’s influence into Central Europe is a very clever move!”

"But Your Majesty, aren't the people of Istanbul afraid that they can hold up the Hungarian teeth to keep their tails from falling off?" The middle-aged man took a deep breath and held back the shock in his heart.

"The Hungarians are not even close to the tail, no matter how big they are, it's useless. That's why I say that the Istan emperor is brilliant!" The fat man laughed and said happily, "In Shengshang, the Hungarians are the same as the Istan people. He is an alien in the eyes of the Central European Barro people, which means that the Hungarians are destined to be unable to truly control the entire Central European Barro.

"Although the Hungarians are among the top three in Central Europe in terms of combat power, they can indeed rise due to the heavy losses of the coalition countries. However, the Hungarian population base is only one million. This is the biggest shortcoming. They do not have enough human resources to support them. Even if Hungary really takes advantage of the situation to rise, it will not be able to truly form a force that controls Central Europe. For the Istan Empire, such Hungary is not enough to pose a threat."

"Because the population is not crops, it is not harvested once a year, it is not livestock, cattle and sheep, and it cannot grow faster depending on the size of the standing area. The growth base of the population is calculated in units of ten years. Don't look at the current growth rate in Hungary. The Hungarians are arrogant, but every soldier who dies will lose one. As long as they encounter a hard and painful battle, they will be completely beaten back to their original shape. The Hungarian military minister knows this very well. The emperor knows it too! "

"In this case, isn't the Hungarian military minister completely desperate! If it fails, Hungary will be depressed for at least several decades." Sweat dripped down the middle-aged intelligence officer's cheek, and he quickly wiped it away with his hands.

"Things like national luck are meant for gambling. How can there be national luck without gambling!" The fat man muttered. He put a hand on his chin, his eyes sparkling like lightning, and said slowly, "For the Hungarians, He said that with such an opportunity, even if he knew that the result of failure might be the destruction of the country or becoming a puppet of another country, he still had to fight for it. "

"Not only because of the humiliation of the king's death, but also because Hungary has been suppressed by the Central European Baron countries for hundreds of years and has been weakened to the point that if it does not rise up to break the shackles, decades later, Hungary will no longer be able to compete with the Central European Baron At that time, there was no power for the countries to fight against each other. Whether it is the Central European Barrow or the Istanbul Empire, they will mercilessly tear Hungary into pieces and engulf it. The military minister has obviously seen this. He needs the power to break the shackles. In this case, even if Knowing that you are gambling with the future of the entire nation,

"In order to build up enough strength to fight the empire as soon as possible, the Hungarian military prime minister continuously invested the entire clan's troops to promote the offensive to the west. Only then did he create a plan in just two months. , with a population base of one million, launched a super powerful force of 300,000 Hungarian horse archers. The momentum finally formed that no one in Central Europe could stop Barrow. This seemingly invincible was actually a gamble! He knew that with such power, he could not defeat the empire, but it was enough to severely damage the empire. He was betting that we would eventually defeat him. Abandoning Central European Barrow because of fear of loss”

"Send someone to contact Fei Shan's liaison officer in the empire! Tell him that the empire can agree to their previous request for a secret alliance, and also uses its status as the suzerain to force the Strand Navy not to go to sea for half a month! Even the Imperial Navy You can take action if necessary." The fat man stood up from the table and looked at a wild tit outside the window. On his windowsill, he tapped his fingers on the table and said in a solemn voice, "But all this must be based on seeing the failure of the Istan Empire's attack on Feishan, so that they can use their strongest strength. This battle has stirred up the entire Central Europe." The war in Barrow has come to an end!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster updates!
