"But my lord, our army took over the eighth army and millions of urban population, what about the food problem?" The adjutant heard Hesen Rambo's words and said hesitantly, "our army's military food is already in short supply. The burden of our army, even if we are good at war, we are afraid that we will be in trouble!"

"Relax, it's not necessarily bad!" Hasen Rambo smiled with a grin. "Don't forget, the north of Rusti is the grain-producing area of ​​Beruz. It's a short distance from us. It's only a few days back and forth. , Our army can send people to Bilushi to mobilize military food emergency, I will request this matter from the military department, if everything goes well, food may be a little nervous, but at least there will not be completely no food available, as long as it can pass this period During the period of relaxation, our other reinforcements can arrive, and it is entirely possible to fight the Northwest Rebels by then!"

"Birrus? Well, adults are really sharp-eyed! The adjutant nodded his head. The Belarusian region in the mouth of Hassan Lamb is a famous grain production area of ​​the empire. Every year, the grains and special products produced from here, They are all important goods supplying Gaul Kyoto. In the three hundred years after the establishment of the Gaul Empire, there has been no foreign war, which can threaten this area in the core hinterland of the empire and can be appointed as the Belarusian region. Governor, has always been a fat one among the imperial internal officials,

When the western region of the Gaul Empire was in a fierce battle, the Belarusian region was still in a peaceful atmosphere. Among the mist and the rainbow, there are vaguely revealing pointed roofs, round statues, white marble steles, wide and straight streets, and white paths paved with cobblestones, no matter where they are. In sight, it is definitely an ancient, quiet, beautiful and warm city. The current Governor of Belarus is the Duke of Yadaliu,

This is a regional governor known for his hobby of red wine and women. Although he looks very strong, he has a height of one meter nine and a weight of more than one hundred kilograms. The red eyes, the face of the beard Bazaar, the first impression left to most people is that this is a red bear from the wilderness of the north,

In peaceful times, the strong strength of this strong duke is mostly used to taste red wine and cigars, or to help young and beautiful girls become real women. For the war, Duke Yadaliu thought that it was impossible at all,

This is the hinterland of the empire, 1400 miles from the border of the empire. Across the provinces where the two heavy soldiers are stationed, even if the enemy army invades, they can’t get here, instead of spending their time thinking about this impossible thing, it is better to play in time

However, these days, the Duke of Yadaliu always feels that his eyelids are jumping. Heard that the Northwest rebels are very fierce. There are rumors everywhere that the Southwest has been occupied by the Northwest rebels. The critical Rusti region was ignited by half. The Empire’s army suffered heavy losses in the Rusti region. It seems that this situation was not mentioned in the internal war report of the empire.

Instead, it said that the imperial team was screaming and fighting, and the Northwestern rebels were frightened and fled. All the ministers were congratulating the emperor's celebration, a flourishing prosperity. The strength of the military is more than the prosperity of any previous period

The Duke of Dali was originally going to Kyoto to participate in the celebration. Even a month ago, he prepared a magnificent carriage inlaid with gems for each gift to the Kyoto Minister. There are also 40 beautiful young girls as gifts for His Majesty the Young Emperor. These girls are carefully selected by him. After strict ceremonial training, they look perfect from any aspect. He heard no The governors in a few places are doing this. His Majesty the Emperor has no queen, not even concubines. If it is not appropriate to tuck in a few of them, it is really a joke about their own future.

But the order from Kyoto to stay behind, seems to confirm the rumors, will the Northwest Rebels really hit here? Duke Yadalu was disappointed and hesitant at the same time. Kyoto asked him to prepare for the logistical preparations, which made him feel uneasy even when enjoying the woman.

"If it is really the same as in the battle report, you still need your own province of Belarus to prepare for the battle?"

This kind of thinking made him feel that his favorite things were dull. He had experienced wars, that was when he was young, when he had just graduated from the emperor school, and was ordered to work in the southwest. The war between southwest and Gangnon was exploded the day after he arrived to report. In the past few days, everything beautiful and peaceful was broken

A large number of young and middle-aged people were forcibly recruited into the army, ready to be tested by the fate of death. A large amount of materials are also forcibly hoarded, especially strategic materials such as food and fodder. The vast majority of shops were forced to close because they had no source of goods and no patronage from customers. Many residents began to feel the cruelty of the war, as supplies became less and less, and prices increased and increased. There is more and more news in the news that the empire has an army to victory.

However, the list of casualties and missing persons was covered by the stone wall in front of the Southwestern General Mansion, and each time it was posted with hundreds of thousands of people’s names, densely packed and stretched together, their relatives were in the stone Weeping in front of the wall. Sorrow makes this stone wall a veritable wall of tears, and the stern cry can stretch to two or three kilometers away. It is also there, a noble girl he has been in love with, in the chaos of war, just like the autumn wind Withered leaves

If possible, the Duke of Yadaliu hopes that he will not be involved in war all his life, that kind of hell-like scene, no one wants to go through it again,

In the local Governor’s Mansion, the scene of drunken dreams and deaths is also staged at this moment. The flavors of red wine and cigar are fused together, intertwined into an enticing taste, seeping out from the gap of the sealed window paper, with a little cool night The wind drifted slowly.

At the entrance of the hall, a knight in full armor stood, and a luxurious carriage was docked in Guangping. If it was not a military patrol symbolizing xìng along the way, no one would think it was just the scene of a military meeting, but this That is to say, compared with the fierce battle on the front and the strict standing of the regular army, the military meetings of the local army are often linked to banquets and banquets.

In the spacious banquet hall, the low and grieving dance music echoed gently, but no one was dancing on the dance floor. Only a few beautiful dancers danced on the stage beside the dance floor. Their elegant postures. Gorgeous costumes and charming gestures reflect a very professional dance standard. In the Gaul Empire, there is a unified dance academy, acrobatics academy, and even a fighting academy. These academies are mostly recruited from civilians and small nobles. Students, mainly to provide entertainment for the big nobles,

Nobles wearing local military uniforms. Holding a wine glass in his hand, he stood with a person he knew with a smile on the side of the dance floor. There were only six small round tables, and beside each small round table, there were only four carved mahogany armchairs. full,

There were more than 100 local military officers participating in the military conference this time, which is why local military conferences are often tied to banquets. There are too many people. Regardless of whether they are employed or not, they are all well-known aristocrats in the region. Many people have ties with the big families in Kyoto. Even if the local governor does not dare to offend these people at will, instead of taking them seriously, it is better to call everyone like a banquet, and everyone will discuss it happily. Anyway, there is always no real warfare, it is nothing more than a matter of interest disputes.

"Have you heard? This time even the 6th Army of the Imperial Tigers was dispatched!" The discussion among the local officers was not small. The recent battles in the western part of the Empire belong to the blockade, but they are as critical as Rusti. , I still know a little bit about Rasti’s battle,

"No, isn't that rumor true? Our emperor, the mobilized army of 200,000 this time, will annihilate the Northwest rebels in one fell swoop?"

"It's hard to say, after all, the Northwestern rebels are too unpredictable!" Some local nobles said hesitantly. "I heard that the Eighth Army suffered heavy damage this time!"

The door of the "Ban" banquet hall was pushed open, and a thin old man came in. He was wearing a straight local military uniform, with a dozen large and small medals on his chest representing medals of outstanding military merit. He looked very tough. God is also very strong, eyes deep in the deep eyes

"Be quiet, Master Tanik!" The nobles who were talking in a low voice,

The old man was called Tanick. He was an old general who retired from the first-line legion three years ago. He used to serve in the Second Legion of the Empire. The official was the head of the third infantry. Old and physically unable to support field operations, he was transferred from the first-line legion to the local army and served as the head of military service in the Belarusian region. This person is said to have a close personal relationship with Duke Lazarre, who is currently the deputy director of the Gaul Military Department.

Compared with the local governor, Duke Yadaliu, Thanik is much thinner, but he is the real soldier.

In the past two or three decades, he has fought in the battlefield repeatedly, with scars on his body and numerous scars. Although he has outstanding military skills, he has strict self-discipline. If it is not a special case, he will rarely appear at a regional military meeting similar to a banquet. He has his own local military meeting room, which is serious like a regular army. There was once a place Because the officer was a minute late, he was ordered to be beaten with a leather whip ten times in accordance with the military order. For most local officers who are lazy, Tanick is simply a devil-like character, but the local officer also has a place of luck. It was this Tanick military officer who was still very partial to local military affairs.

"Well, everyone is quiet!"

Seeing the arrival of Tanick, Governor Ya Daliu retired several dancing dancers. When everyone was quiet, he waved to his adjutant, "Take the orders of the military department!" The adjutant came in a hurry and handed The last order, Duke Yadalu opened the order book in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and handed this order to His Excellency Tanik, who is in charge of military affairs. "Look at it. The latest order is very unfavorable to us! "

This order was just sent from the Rasti region, requesting the Belarus region to enter a state of readiness, and to form a 20,000-strong garrison unit. If necessary, it is necessary to go to the Rasti region to accept the front line commander Hasen Rambo’s Dispatch. At the same time, the order also required us to mobilize all the resources and forces of the entire Belarusian region to be responsible for supporting Hasen Lampo’s operations on the front line, including the replenishment of personnel and the provision of logistics. Throughout the operation,

"Are we responsible for all the supplies? Is Hassan Rambo of the Sixth Army a little crazy? He Hassan Rambo is a regiment commander, but it does not mean that he is the local governor, he does not have the power to order "Tanick is worthy of being The experienced officer quickly read the main points from this order,

"That's exactly what I'm worried about!" Ya Daliu looked at Tanick, his face also appeared unnatural, frowning and said "Although the region of Belarus is not a front-line combat province, it also has more than 20,000 standing local troops." Therefore, it is not a problem to form a garrison force. However, it is difficult to say that it is necessary to mobilize the entire province to support the Rasti region. The Rasti region has two main battle corps of the empire, close to 200,000 empire forces. Not a province can afford it, so I can’t understand what this lord commander means?"

"As the defense of the empire, the Rusti region has always had its own stored grain! As far as I know, these stored grains should be sufficient for the front line," Tani Ke said affirmatively.

"That's not necessarily!" Duke Yadali turned the report in his hand, and turned his lips slightly. "It's no secret to use food and drink in the local army. In the local army, it's no secret. And I don't think Russ Daddy’s gang didn’t do that! And according to the information we got in the Rusty area, the Northwestern rebels burned most of the new food in the Rusty area, you know what that means..."

"His, no, it's not killing people!"

Tanick glanced at the letter in his hand again. His thin face took a deep breath, and his face suddenly turned pale, which is no wonder. As the commander of the army, Hassen Rambo would be so impatient to give orders, it was already very urgent.

Although he hadn't been in office for a long time, since he stepped into the quagmire of the local army. Moreover, he is also the supreme military chief of a local army, and naturally knows a little about the greasiness inside. 200,000 troops are in a land of no food, how to fight this battle?

The Sixth Army must have had a problem

"That's why I found everyone!" Duke Yadaliu's response was not as great as that of Tanick, as the head of the local aristocracy. His first thought was to take care of local interests. This year the food income of the province of Prussia was average, as a province directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty the Emperor. Three quarters of the food in Behrius must be turned over, and only the dozens of nobles can be left. It is necessary to undertake the battle of 200,000 troops at a time, which is tantamount to pressing a child directly on the shoulder of a young child. For barbells weighing up to 100 pounds

Although the regiment’s pressure on the governor of his area was not very great, he had to be very cautious when he thought that Rasti involved His Majesty the Emperor.

It seemed that he was still worrying about something, and after a long time of painful thought, Duke Yadaliu hesitated and said, "This matter must be all of us. If there is a problem with everyone, everyone will be unhappy, and copying property is considered light. , I am afraid to become a scapegoat for some people, and everyone will die by then!"

"So what do you want to do?"

There was a trace of pain on Tanick's face. As a soldier, he knew what his current attitude meant, but he couldn't help but hesitate to think about the terrible consequences caused by this incident. This incident involved too much. Once it was revealed , How many local troops within the empire, the tumbling heads must be thousands, Hasen Rambo! What do you want to do?

"After all, this is an order issued by the head of a fighting legion. If we do not execute at all, it is against the military order. If it is executed, we will be finished even if we are ruined." Duke Yadali said with a face. "So we only have dragged,

This time I also ask your Excellency to lead the army and delay as much as possible on the road, the army can start first. Start with great fanfare, but go slowly, you can spend more time on the road and watch while walking. We could pretend to be halfway, and suddenly remembered that we did not bring enough military food, so we sent people back. Then the army returned to the escort, and it took half a month to come and go. We are local troops, and the requirements cannot be too high. Without actual combat experience, it is inevitable to make some mistakes. . . . . . And in the past half a month, we have collected local food, and we can help a little bit! "

"What if Rusti's defense line collapsed?" Tanick said uglyly.

"Cough~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Your Excellency thinks that within half a month, the 200,000 Imperial Army will be defeated by the Northwest Rebels?"

Duke Yadali deliberately pretended to be a surprised god. The meaning on his face was like saying, this is a joke! Explain that "Master Tanick thinks too much, we just make a look and try our best to reduce the amount of support, not to say that it does not support at all! After all, we cannot rely on our strength to put all our shoulders, this is also What everyone means, after all, everyone is a soldier of the empire, will they ignore the life and death of the empire?"

"Yeah, we are also soldiers, naturally we will not sit back and watch, but we must do what we can." The local military officers below quickly agreed

"Okay, I'll try my best!" Tanick watched the eyes of everyone, and finally only nodded helplessly. Seeing him loosely agreed, the expression of joy on the faces of the people together.

"Okay, what are you waiting for here, come, play music, let's start the banquet!"

Duke Yadaliu's luxurious haha ​​smiled and shouted to all the people waiting for a long time. The melodious music reminded me again. Countless girls in beautiful dresses walked into the field like flowers and butterflies. Does anyone remember that front-line soldiers are still starving (to be continued...)
