Military Ministry of the Gallic Empire

Count Remchat, who was dressed in a straight imperial military uniform, pushed open the two four-meter-high red relief doors of the military department in front of him with some solemnity, and the two imperial guards standing at the door immediately clenched the long-handled heavy axe in their hands, and the body wearing bright armor collapsed straight

Remchat took off his military hat and placed it heavily on a desk opposite the Minister of War

As a High Affairs Officer with special prosecutorial powers, he is the only person in the Ministry of War who is qualified to work in the same office as the Minister of War.

The Minister of War has the right to mobilize the army, and behind the High Affairs Officer is the Emperor's Majesty's supervision of military affairs.

The two of them were in the same room, and they could maximize the arrangement of military affairs and the orders of the emperor's majesty, a system that was very distinctive in Gangfei, which has lasted for sixty-seven years, experienced the era of three generations of emperors, and also ensured that the emperor's intentions were thoroughly carried out

"What's the matter? Remchat, it's been a long time since I've seen you lose your temper like this!" As if a little surprised, the white-haired Duke Rubinsark, the Minister of War of the Empire, raised his head from across the desk, squinted his eyes, and looked at the young man opposite with interest,

Empty room with lots of light. The sunlight shines through the high windows, on the snow-white walls, reflecting bright golden lines, the whole room can't see too many gorgeous decorations, several side-by-side cabinets, a pair of full-body armor that is wiped by someone every day, the surface of the armor made of fine iron, polished with quicksand paper to illuminate the shadow of people, the golden tassels hang down from the shoulder pads, the chest is the wheel pattern of the twelve-petal elm leaves representing the symbol of the royal family, and the red cloak is draped from the shoulders to the ground,

The whole armor is decorated, revealing a majestic luxury,

This is the marshal armor that the Minister of War, Duke Rubinsark, was awarded by the previous emperor when he was 40 years old, representing the highest honor of the military. In that year, Duke Rubinsark was promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal by the previous emperor, because he had just led an army of 200,000 Gangfei to wipe out the death of the Gangfei Empire in the south in one fell swoop.

The territory of the empire, because of this battle, extended from the Central European Baro to the current strait, and truly realized the actual control of the entire peninsula, that time. It was a turning point in the external expansion of the Gangfei Empire, and the empire no longer needed tension and internal defense of the peninsula, but expanded outward with all its might.

The sun was shining outside the window, and even in the office of the Minister of War, it was more of a soldier's ability than the luxury of an imperial minister.

"It's nothing, it's just something that is annoying!" Remchatt smirked at the corner of his mouth. In front of the leaders of the surrounding imperial military circles, he didn't dare to be arrogant, and hurriedly apologized and said, "I just received the news that the Duke of Putao sent to the Falcon Empire. Assassinated by an unknown person in the territory of the Falcon Empire!"

"Assassination?"

Duke Rubin Sark raised his eyebrows, and the pen in his hand was still skillfully scribbling the piled up on the table, a fact that was commonplace for him, an old man who had fought for the empire all his life. He was the Minister of War and was more concerned with the situation in the army, with the High Commissioner in charge. It's this kind of intelligence, he is not surprised to hear such news, that person was eliminated in advance, it is also expected, does he need to be so nervous?

"If you really kill it, forget it, at most it's a headless case" Remchatt smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, as if he knew what the old commander of the empire was thinking, and said, "The problem is that these fools have missed!

"Caught!" Rubin Sark stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head for the first time, his old and wise eyes revealing the vicissitudes of time,

Since he stepped down as the marshal of the empire at the age of 65 and entered the Ministry of Military Affairs as the Minister of Military Affairs, his weapon has changed from a murderous sword to a pen, and even sometimes even he feels very regretful, knowing that this is the case, he should not have promised the former emperor who has passed away, and he has to show that he has done his best for the new emperor, otherwise, he can now enjoy his old age in a spacious mansion, and no longer have to work for all kinds of complicated military affairs of the empire,

"The empire should be full of vigor and enterprising, at his age, it is really unreasonable to be in such a position!" At the beginning of this year, he asked the Emperor Gangfei to resign, but was rejected by the Emperor Xià "The army of the empire still needs an old and serious person like Your Excellency, if Your Excellency must resign, please help me for the last year!"

is worthy of being an old and refined character, he immediately knew why Remsit was so out of shape, when Remshat proposed a set of weakened Putao principality, which was appreciated by the emperor His Majesty, in the past few years, this high affairs officer is also fully responsible for the division and annexation of the Putao principality, and the results are very remarkable, this time he forcibly ordered the Duke of Putau to go to the Falcon Empire to make amends, Remshat should want to try the bottom line of Putao,

Want to know how much weight this duke still has in the hearts of Putao people?

The result is exactly as expected, after several years of comprehensive suppression, negative publicity, and financial difficulties, the Duke of Putao is like a small insect entangled in cobwebs, completely unable to use his hands and feet, and the current Putao people themselves look down on this inactive Duke of Putao,

According to the news from the secret agents of all parties installed in the Principality of Putao, after several years of training, the resistance of the Putao people to the empire has weakened a lot, and almost no Putao people have stood up and said a word about their own lord being forced to go to the Falcon Empire by the empire.

The entire Duchy of Putao seems to have collectively suffered from amnesia, and has forgotten that this duke, who once fought to the death, is a manifestation of the Duke's loss of heart.

The time has come to annex the Principality of Putau, and the problem that the empire has spent hundreds of years not solving, this time it took six years to solve by Remchat, which is enough for this high minister who climbed to a high position at a young age, and climbed to a more important position as an important minister of the empire.

It is already rumored outside that the empire annexes Putao, establishes a puppet, and then sets up an imperial governor who is fully responsible for the area of the Putao Principality, and is ready to use the relationship between Putao and Strandsea City to comprehensively reorganize the imperial navy. Although His Majesty the Emperor did not say it explicitly, in fact, everyone understood very well that this position was undoubtedly specially prepared for Remchat, a rising star in the imperial military world

It is a pity that it was at such a critical moment that such an assassination occurred, and the Duke of Rubinsark secretly shook his head, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to form a tight blockade network to erase every news that might attract attention. After several years of painstaking arrangement, it is possible that all of them will be wiped out because of this accident, how unwilling it is! This is not only a unilateral problem that angers the Falcon Empire, but also how inopportune the assassination broke out.

Because of this assassination, it will inevitably make the already forgotten Duke Putao rush to the forefront at once, coupled with the high-profile publicity of the Falcon Empire, Duke Putao will soon become the focus of attention of all classes in the empire. If you are in the position of Remchat, you will probably jump your feet!" If it's really an accident, forget it, I'm afraid...... Different from other people's simple opinions, Rubin Sark, a Gangfei war ghost who was known for his strange tactics thirty years ago. What came to mind was another absurd possibility, but he soon smiled self-deprecatingly at the corner of his mouth, "This, probably not!"

"Your Excellency, Northern Emergency!" the adjutant's voice sounded outside the door, "Come in! The door is not locked," Rubin Sark looked up unexpectedly. Shouting to the door, under normal circumstances, the adjutant would not shout like this. Instead, the guards came in and asked for instructions

The adjutant pushed open the door and walked in, walked eagerly in front of Rubin Sark, straightened up and gave a military salute, and then presented an urgent report in his hand, and said in his mouth. Yesterday night, the outpost responsible for following reported that the Falcon Army suddenly stopped retreating, and the whole army was stationed in the Mopu Plateau in the north, although there was no intention of attacking, but the Falcon Army's camp was brightly lit all night, which still made General Royakodi on the front line feel very uneasy, according to General Royakodi's report, at present we are on the northern frontier, only 80,000 troops, and the Falcon Army is 120,000 people, in terms of numbers and combat power, we obviously suffer, and the opponent's cavalry force has reached 50,000 people, plus the place where the other side stops, it is also the northern Mopu Plateau with a raised terrain, from the topography, once the war starts, our army will have no danger to defendIn view of the uncertainty of the Falcon Army's situation, General Royadiko requested that the strategy of steadily advancing forward and taking over the area be temporarily halted and that it should be stationed on the spot instead!"

Rubin Sark took the report with a stern face and glanced at it, he knew where, when he was young, he had spent two years in the Mopu Plateau in the north, as an ordinary cavalry squadron leader, hesitated, Duke Rubin Sark picked up the pen, wrote a line on the report, exchanged it with the adjutant and said, "Grant Royadico's request! But he must hold the area that has been recovered, and build a defensive line to deal with what may happen!" The adjutant took it and turned to leave

"Your Excellency, the strategy of steadily advancing forward and taking over the region is agreed by His Majesty the Emperor, will it be ...... if we change it like this" Remchat on the other side was a little worried, according to his position, he could ask Rubin Sark to continue to implement the previous strategy, but for this person who was a god of the sea for the entire military world, he, the high affairs officer, naturally turned the overseer into a superintendent

"The situation is different, the disposition is different!" Rubin Sack said in a condensed voice, "The Mopu Plateau, where the Falcon Army stopped, is flat, and it is the most prominent uplifted flat land in the entire northern defense line, and it is no wonder that even a fierce general like Royacody does not dare to approach too much without absolute certainty,

The falcon army stopped here, like looking down on the eagle flock from a high place, if it suddenly turned its face, tens of thousands of cavalry rolled down from the Mopu Plateau, only the tens of thousands of infantry of Royakodi could not resist the all-out offensive thrown out by the other side like a whole net, as long as the opposing cavalry turned back, Royadico's 80,000 troops had to be all explained there, "I see, the minister is worthy of being the person who once commanded the battle of Bicasarte in South Asia" Remsciat looked admiring,

"Don't mention the old things back then, Remchat, how many troops do we still have in the Duchy of Putau?" Rubin Sark's hands were heavily placed on the table, his eyebrows were frowning and thinking about something, his face was slightly pale, the thoughts that had just inadvertently flashed in his mind, and the location of the falcon on the report that suddenly stopped, were all bothering him

"An infantry regiment of 7,000 men and cavalry of 4,000 men! Mainly stationed in the center and on the borders of the Duchy of Putao" Remschatt on the other side paused for a moment, not knowing why Duke Rubinsark asked this, he looked at the duke's solemn face and explained, "The area of the Duchy of Putao is not large, and the army of the principality is also due to lack of financial resources. It has long been disbanded, and the garrison of 11,000 people has proved to be able to cope with most situations in the past few years!" Remchat's voice stopped, and his face showed a fierce expression: "Of course, if there is really an emergency, the 10,000 border troops we have stationed on the outskirts of the Putao Principality can occupy the Putao Principality again! Putao is not the slightest threat to us!" "In this way, our strength in Putao is only 21,000 men!" Duke Rubin Sark underestimated it meaningfully, and suddenly a hint of epiphany flashed through the brain of the experienced old handsome. The face of the old handsome man for many years became a little pale, and he thought of the inexplicable assassination of the Duke of Putao, the complete withdrawal of the Falcon Army, and things became closer and closer to his conjecture.

"This assassination is not an accident! It is a pre-designed game, Duke Rubinsark glanced at Remchatt on the opposite side with certainty, and said, "More troops are needed on the Putao side, I have a hunch, where will soon be a headache for the Empire" "Assassination is a bureau, a headache?" The Minister meant. Where will there be a riot?" Remshat furrowed his eyebrows together, and if everything was as Minister Rubinsark had said, then it would not be easy, "I have enough men in the Duchy of Putau, at least for now. I haven't received any reports of a riot either!" Remchatt said cautiously, "It hasn't happened yet, it's because the news of the assassination of the Duke of Putau hasn't been transmitted yet!" Rubin Sark looked at him with a solemn expression, and said slowly, "I believe it won't be long." The news of Duke Putao's assassination in the Falcon Empire will spread like the wind through the streets and alleys of the Putao Principality, if it was before, forget it. At most, it's a joke, but now it's different, a sad last duke, a monarch who left his homeland, was bullied by the empire, and was forced to apologize to the enemy country, was assassinated by his own people abroad, and his life was in danger, "This is simply the scene in the old-fashioned opera, but it is also the most likely to arouse the anger of ordinary people" Rubin Sark pursed his lips at the corner of his mouth "In my experience, I have seen a lot of such things, believe me, the sympathy of the general public is actually easy to overflow and be taken advantage of!"

Duke Rubinsark's voice stopped, glanced at Remchat, who was a little stunned, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "As long as you provoke a little, it will form a prairie fire, especially in Putao, this country that has been humiliated and occupied by us, the silent Duchy of Putao, will soon become like a stormy sea, the whole piece of boiling,

"The first target of this terrible wave will definitely be our Gangfei!"

"If that's the case, I don't mind occupying the Putao again! After a few years of influence, the Putao people have lost their sense of national honor, and they are no longer the original Putao!" Remsciat said with a hideous expression, "As long as a little pressure is exerted, they will succumb, I have studied the Putao people for six years, I know them too well!"

"Occupy the Putao?"

The corner of Rubinsark's mouth sneered: "The forces of the empire are divided into the north and south, and the internal forces have almost been emptied, what can we do to occupy Putao! If Putao really riots, countless mobs pour into our territory, and we are the ones who feel the pressure."

"This ......" Remchatt's face changed, and he snorted heavily

"It's all the fault of this abominable assassination, if it's not like this, who cares about the life or death of that Duke of Putao!"

"Haven't you seen it now?" Rubin Sark took a deep breath with a solemn expression, "This simple assassination will make the hard work of the Gangfei Empire for several years go to waste, and all the adverse trends on the Duke of Putao will be turned over at once, in fact, it is on the border line, the Vekia Falcon that swallowed the Gangfei 150,000 border guards in one bite!" "Our opponent is an emperor of an empire, do you think that a noble emperor of the empire has spent so much trouble just for the principality of a small region?"

"Minister's meaning, the other party wants to occupy Putao as a springboard, and then attack us again?" Remchat's eyes blinked, revealing a hint of abruptness, "It's impossible, this butcher is still occupying our northern border, if there is a big invasion, it will already be invaded, there is no need to make another move!"

"That's where I'm confused!"

The Minister of War, Rubinsak, shook his head in confusion and said with a wry smile: "What does this butcher, who still has the flesh and blood of our soldiers hanging between his teeth, suddenly attack a little-known principality? Although he doesn't want to admit it, anyone who is an opponent with such a person will feel worried in his heart.

The most terrifying thing is that even if we know, what can we do? The other side has no room for maneuver at all, and the unexpected stop of the Falcon Army is obviously to cooperate with this incident, in order to contain our limited forces in the north, and the other party's move is really incomprehensible!"
