1943 Counterattack (8)
"Okay, this accusation will stay with me for now. I need to figure it out before I can make up my mind!"
After reading the complaint, Thurit Colin frowned slightly, and waved his hand to the foreign officer, "There are too many doubts in this complaint, and judging from the content of the agreement, this is a secret agreement that is not made public!
"Your Highness, how should this matter be answered by the Central Biya side......"
"Answer?" Turit Colin glanced at the middle-aged foreign officer with a cold gaze like a knife, and said in a solemn tone, "Morath, you are also an old man in foreign affairs, you should know that those things can be answered, and those things can never be answered, this matter involves the most important military commander of the empire in the Putao region, and it is a situation where the war in the north of Putao is about to break out, do you think it is appropriate to raise this matter?" Her Royal Highness the Princess, with all due respect, although some of the words are inappropriate, but the subordinates think that if this matter is handled properly, or it is an opportunity for His Majesty to reconsider the proposal of the Foreign Admiral" Feeling that Princess Thurit Colin could not help but be enthusiastic about this matter, the middle-aged foreign officer hesitated for a moment and said" This time, the Imperial Admiralty specially handed over the Tiyì, this is a rare opportunity in a hundred years, if you can get the support of Varisian, the first person in the military in the Putao region, at least it will make Your Majesty feel that it is worth considering!
"That's why my subordinates are so bold in submitting this accusation, if we reveal a little bit about Varisian, we may be able to get Lord Varisian's support!" "You mean to use this to put pressure on Varisian?" Turit Colling's crescent eyebrows lifted slightly, "Yes, Your Highness, as long as Varisian can ......" "Okay, no more!"
Tulit Colleen interrupted him angrily, "What you're doing is killing yourself, do you want to harm the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" "Why did Your Highness say this?" The middle-aged foreign officer was completely stunned
Turit Colleen said in an angry voice, "Forget it. His Majesty the Falcon is still in Lisbonto! Varisien was His Majesty's favorite general and the main commander who presided over the battle in the northern part of Putau this time. How much influence did the complaint of a liaison officer in Central Belgium have on him?He just had to report the pressure on him from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to His Majesty, do you know the consequences of doing so!" Tulit Colin paused. I really doubt that if you have such a risky idea, you are taking advantage of the people of Central Belgium, or if it is completely out of public interest!"
"The subordinates guarantee their honor and life, and there is absolutely no advantage for the Central Biyans!" The middle-aged Foreign Ministry official heard the beads of sweat on his forehead, which ran down his cheeks, and lowered his head and said, "I am completely thinking about the future of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs"
"Morath, you're playing with fire!"
Turit Colin glanced at him and sighed deeply. After all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been suppressed for too long, and it cannot be said that it is wrong for this foreign affairs officer Moras to have such an idea, the foreign affairs of the empire have indeed been subject to the military for too long, and they have always been stored as an accessory, and finally now there is an opportunity for status promotion, even if it is just a small leap, the foreign affairs officers also want to take risks, which is a very dangerous thing
"In His Majesty's true heart, most of the Empire's foreign affairs. Or is it something related to the war" Putting Wen Jiàn on the table, Turit Colin said with a stern face, "His Majesty's temperament is also the least dislike to be threatened and conspired by others, and once discovered, he must use the means that make the other party feel the most hopeless!" Since the proposal has been submitted to His Majesty for review. A qiē is naturally decided by the majesty, and the act of conspiring to put pressure on the majesty is an act of self-defeat! These small means cannot be concealed from the majesty. Once His Majesty was furious, the Imperial Inspectorate intervened in the investigation. Have you ever thought about the consequences of this incident? Your actions have touched the bottom line of your majesty! You are not helping everyone, but harming everyone. His Majesty has always been resolute in dealing with conspiracy theorists, or do you think that an exception can be made for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has an imperial princess?"
"I'm sorry, it's my subordinates who are too anxious!"
"Well, this matter is over, this accusation is here, as for the Central Belgians, just say that the war on the front line is urgent now, and it needs to be investigated for a while, let them go back and wait!"
"Your Highness means procrastination?" Morath wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead
"It may be indefinitely!We just need to know about it ourselves!But it may not be a good thing to know something in advance!" Turit Colin looked at Wen Jiàn on the table with a complicated look, "Good thing? What does Your Highness mean?" Morath looked confused
The corners of Tullet's Colleen's upturned mouth twitched slightly, and she looked out the window and smiled. If this agreement is true, it should be the content of the Empire's upcoming strategic adjustment of the Central Biya side, this time the Empire has the intention to use iron ore to support a certain force in Central Bia, which is beyond the reach of the Imperial military, if our Ministry of Foreign Affairs can come up with a reasonable plan, Your Majesty should give us full authority in this matter, the inland sea area is the sphere of influence of the Imperial Navy, can't the Central Biya side become the sphere of influence of our Foreign Ministry?"
"Let Central Bia be the scope of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs......? It's really possible to accomplish it!" Moraes' face burned with excitement,
Tang Ruyue walked back and forth uneasily in the office, and when she turned around, she saw the foreign affairs officer who had just brought the accusation Wen Jiàn coming over, Tang Ruyue asked eagerly, "Your Excellency, what is the accusation?"
"Her Royal Highness has taken it and appreciates the courage of the liaison officer to expose this matter!"
Moras had a relieved expression, not at all the slightest abnormality, and waved his arm pretending to be calm and said, "But because Lord Valisian is still on the northern front, I can't give a reply now, I don't know if you have any other requirements?" If you need to stay in Lisbon, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs can arrange it, and I want to ask you specifically about the appearance of the Central Belgian who tore up the agreement at the last moment, after all, Varisian is also a member of the Imperial military, so the more specific you know, the better!" Absolutely!"
Tang Ruyue didn't notice the other party's abnormality, in fact, she was a little relieved by the other party's justice. The fat man who coldly shook his face was too hateful in her heart, so naturally she wouldn't have anything good to say. "It's a guy who looks loyal but is actually very sinister, like a poisonous snake. When looking at people, the gaze is as poisonous as being able to pierce people" Tang Ruyue described mercilessly, but she didn't notice that Morath's face became more and more unnatural.
Black hair, black eyes, still a fat man, representing the Imperial military, and a pair of sharp eyes that make people feel that their souls are seen through, Moras suddenly thought of something.
His gaze carefully swept over the features he had just recorded, and the pen he was recording tilted slightly, almost scratching a long mark on the notebook.
Black hair and black eyes, a fat man like a demon lord of hell, a loyal appearance, a cunning nature, that ...... Isn't it the Falcon Majesty! If the princess's attitude just now became so annoyed, it would be understandable, and even denounced herself for causing trouble to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!
"I almost thought of the Falcon as a spy of the Central Bibians!" thought of this most unlikely possibility. Moras already felt a cold behind his back, sweat soaked his clothes, and the other party's words were almost unheard, and his mind was blank.
It wasn't until Tang Ruyue stood up with satisfaction and said that he wanted to say goodbye that he stood up with a little pale face and took a few steps away. At the moment when Tang Ruyue's back disappeared at the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Moras sat on the sofa with a collapsed ass. His eyes were in a daze as he looked at the candle hanging overhead, his eyes were dilated, and his hands and feet were weak. Damn, how could I get involved in such a thing, someone who would die!
In a café on the marina in Lisbonto,
"If there is no problem, then sign this agreement!" Pushing the ready-made draft agreement in his hand in front of the purple-clothed girl in a daze opposite, the fat man smiled and gestured to the guard behind him, and a bottle of pen and ink borrowed from the shopkeeper was placed on the side of the draft
"Are you really sure to sign an agreement with our Song clan? This is a trade agreement of 40,000 catties of iron ore!" The purple-clothed girl sitting opposite subconsciously shrank back, this matter seemed so impossible, she achieved her goal so easily, it wouldn't be that she ran into a charlatan
"Whether there are 2 catties of iron ore is my business, you will know when you sign it! But according to the agreement. The first batch of iron ore, we are only responsible for the transportation of the Falcon Empire's control area, and the rest needs to be guarded by your Song clan, as for the rest of the agreement, you can send it back to China first and then reply, this is already very sincere" The fat man gritted his teeth, full of depression, and said, "You know, the people sent by the four tribes of Central Belgium, except for your Song clan, because this agreement has already died two, if you really don't want it, I will give it to others, but there are many people crying and shouting to sign!"
"Okay, okay, look at your appearance, even a bad person can't go there!" The purple-clothed girl on the opposite side was superior, her eyes glanced lightly at the fat man who looked like a profiteer on the opposite side, puffed out her mouth and took a deep breath, her hand reached for the pen on the table, her arm trembled slightly, and she wrote a line of delicate handwriting, the fat man glanced at the girl's name curiously, and was stunned for a moment, I go, who took the name of this, "Song Que" Is this the meaning of lack of heart and eyes?
Stuffing the signed agreement into the hands of the girl in purple, the fat man began to worry a little, "There won't be problems on the road, is it really safe to put the empire's China-Belgium strategy on such a heartless girl?"
Just then, a guard walked in through the door and whispered a few words in the fat man's ear
The fat man's face changed, and he asked, "Are you sure?" "Yes, just this morning, the Gangfei army, which had been on the defensive, advanced ten miles to our side, and our army found a large number of alliance troops from Central Europe and Barrows in the direction of Baruta! The number cannot be determined for the time being!" Konoe said in a solemn and low voice, "The allied forces of all countries are encircling Baruta, and the other party is really anxious to pull out this thorn!" The fat man was slightly silent and stood up from opposite the girl, "I'm sorry, it seems that I can't personally send you on the boat."
"Who are you?" the purple-clothed girl's face was slightly stunned
"There are some guests who are not very friendly, although I don't like them, but I always need to go and receive them!" the fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, stood up and patted the corner of his clothes, and turned to walk to the door. He suddenly stopped at the door, and waved his hand to one of the captains of the guard behind him with a calm face
"Fulin. I'll leave it to you, you escort the two young ladies to the southwest district. Dispatch a hundred elite soldiers! I will use my ship to escort this young lady to the southwest region, and I will ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to inform all the troops along the way, and be sure to ask for the safe escort of Miss Song Que back to Zhongbia! Escort them with all your might! Tell them, whoever has a problem, whose head I want!" "Yes, my lord!" the captain of the guard nodded respectfully behind him
"Is this still that person?" Looking at the back of the fat man leaving, the girl in purple covered her mouth lightly with her hand, with an expression that did not return to her senses, I don't know why. The fat man's tone at that moment reminded the girl of her father, the first master of Zhongbiya, who is known as the first master of Zhongbiya, who is dressed in white, but full of decisive domineering southern heroes, the lord of the Song clan, the girl in white next to her also looked nervous at this time, and muttered in a low voice, "Miss, did you hear it, it's terrible." I'll just say that this man is not a good person, and he wants a head at every turn!
"Two young ladies, please get into the carriage!"
The captain of the guard who left behind the person in charge couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corners of his mouth, and made a gesture of invitation to the two: "According to the orders of the adults, I will escort the two of you to the naval port of Lisbonto." There's an Imperial Dragon-class capital ship there, so let's use this Dragon-class battleship as the ship for the two ladies to go to the Southwest Region!"
"Dragon?" The purple-clothed girl walked up to the carriage parked at the door with a confused face,
"Yes. That's what we call it!" replied Captain Fulin proudly
As a girl from the Middle Bya, she didn't know the meaning of the Imperial Dragon, in the Empire. At least one detachment commander is required to have the honor of boarding a Dragon-class battleship to command the battle, and only two people who use the Dragon-class as a general ship are qualified to do so. That is the famous Imperial Admiral Dustrunkai and the Lord of the Empire, His Majesty the Falcon,
Half an hour later, the girl in purple got out of the carriage,
"That's what it is...... Dragon of the Sea!"
The purple-clothed girl looked at the behemoth in front of her, and looked a little overwhelmed for a while, the Song clan also has a warship, but it definitely can't be compared with the giant ship in front of her, just the volume, this warship called the dragon-class battleship is three times larger, not to mention the dense dragon scale-like baffle on the side of this giant ship, which makes people feel that they are standing next to a giant beast that can breathe, like the hideous wind of the giant beast in the face, a gust of sea breeze blew the girl's skirt, and the purple-clothed girl with a dull face didn't know that she was standing on the corner of changing her fate。
In the Baruta area in May, the gravel mountain roads are neatly built as if they have been polished under heavy pressure, and along the sides of the road are large white woodlands, this hardy subarctic plant, even in the cold winter, is green and evergreen, so it is also called evergreen.
These dense forests form the bulk of the Baruta region. Like a clump of dark green grass spread on the vast land, flower-covered bushes, until the forest is shaded by the sun to the distant mountains, the mountaintops are full of light-colored flowers and transparent clouds in the heights, setting off the clear blue sky around the horizon.
The Baluta Fortress is a large fortress connected to the urban area, like a black bulge on a gray cliff, countless small black dots are active in it, the location of the town below has criss-crossing streets, and the residential communities extending from the outer walls of the town form a large area of pointed roofs densely arranged, and the gentle morning light gently sprinkles on the ruins on the edge of the town, reflecting on these incomplete houses,
At dusk that day, from the direction of the Greywater River to the west of the fortress, some graceful black shadows began to be discovered. The sentry near the river sounded the alarm bell and sounded the military horn, and a group of scout cavalry in black armor, ready for warhorses, quickly rushed out of the open fortress door and galloped in the direction of the rear
"Hurry up when you find the enemy!" shouted the captain of the infantry in charge of the watchtower, and the soldiers grabbed their weapons and ran to the heights, and began to take their positions. The front is silent, only the wind blows the flag, flickering.
"Is it Gangfei?" a falconer soldier nervously asked his companion, he had encountered such a situation before, but it turned out to be a false alarm, but this time it was different, I don't know why, the soldiers could feel that the oncoming wind seemed to be mixed with a nervous atmosphere
"Boom" first came with a neat rolling sound, on the distant horizon, like a huge black long line, gradually floating up from the distant horizon, more and more, it can be described as shocking, frightened birds fluttering up from the forest ahead,
"Attention, it's the enemy's main force!" The well-informed squadron leader looked at the overwhelming military flags in the distance, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and the black pressed human head, unfolding a long crescent moon formation, the sword mountain and sword forest, like a dark and dull forest. Countless banners covered the sky and the earth in the west
On 11 May, the third war broke out between the two armies, which had been held against each other for 27 days.
On one side is the 100,000 Southern Army of the Congo and Africa and the 170,000 troops of the Central European and Barrow countries, a total of 270,000 people, and on the other side is the Falcon Empire's Central Army of 60,000, the Southern Army of 30,000, and the local Army of 50,000, and nearly 70,000 people from all sides have chosen to help in the war, with a total strength of 210,000 troops.
The decisive battle between the two armies is Baruta on the border,
Baruta, which goes deep into the hinterland of the Congo-Africa border, has been regarded as a thorn in the throat by the Gangnon people, and the first place of attack by the 170,000 allied troops of the 270,000 Gang-Africa coalition troops.
The coalition forces are divided into four ways to encircle in the direction of Baruta, and the Falcon Empire's strength on the side of Baruta is only 60,000, a multiple of one to three, (to be continued......
