In the eyes of these veteran nobles, Viscount Gauld is just a lucky nouveau riche, more than ten years ago, because of poverty, he sold grain outside the Huayu Plateau, and took the line of the Eternal Night Army, making a lot of money, so that he was received and reused by the Grand Duke Christine.

The tall person is not only tall but also strong, his arms are thick enough to top the thighs of ordinary people, and the first impression is that he is powerful, but his face is much whiter than that of ordinary people, probably because his skin is tight, and there are not too many wrinkles on his face, but his slightly white sideburns show that his age is not low.

If you think that he is the military minister of the Brian family, you are very wrong, this person is the patriarch of the Calvin family, the intelligence minister of the Grand Duke Christine, and he has been in this position for many years.

The short one was the opposite of Calvin, short and thin, with a pointed face and slender arms, and if he had a tail plugged in and played the monkey, he would be absolutely vivid, and this person was the Earl of Nickles, the military minister of the Bryan family.

The Zhe Yiwen and Wu, who are around Grand Duke Christine, present this asymmetrical differentiation, and there are many jokes about being misidentified.

"Why is it that Sir is being shut out?Is it too early to come??, and Your Majesty has not yet risen?" asked Earl Calvin first.

"It's not that I didn't get up, but I just fell asleep. Viscount Gauld replied with a blank face.

Since the two important ministers around the Grand Duke Christine came, he was not in a hurry, nor did he grind with the two Grand Dukes' close guards, and completely brought the three ministers promised by the other party before, and he immediately went to report and forgot all about the matter.

It's too much to worry about a loyal little person, and it's too valuable.

"Your Majesty's energy is still as strong as ever, it is really enviable, I will not be, every day at the end of the day, you must climb into bed and go to sleep, hey, the good days, gone forever, if possible, I am willing to give up half of the family property, in exchange for me to return to twenty. Earl Calvin sighed with sincere envy.

"You are still as greedy as ever, you want to have both youth and family property. Nickles mocked mercilessly, "There is no such thing in this world. ”

"The reality is cruel enough, why should the Earl of Nickles debunk my little illusion?" Count Calvin responded to the other party's taunt and said to the Grand Duke Konoe, "We do have something important to see, and I ask you to pass it on, I promise that Your Majesty will not blame you afterwards, even if there is something, we will intercede for you." ”

"Wait a minute, three adults, I'll go. "Being able to serve as a guard by the side of Grand Duke Christine also has a strong eye, and being able to let three palace ministers go out at the same time is definitely not a big thing that I can carry, once I am delayed, I really can't eat and go around.

The lesser of two evils.

It seems to be easier to face the wake up of the Grand Duke Christine.

Not long after the close guard entered, he heard several roars from the depths of the palace, as well as the breaking of glass and porcelain.

After a while, the close guard who went in to pass the word retreated with an embarrassed expression, and said: "Three adults, Your Majesty has already gotten up, let the three of you in, but Your Majesty has not slept enough, and his temper is somewhat big, the three adults had better wait and say the most important, otherwise I will be unlucky." ”

"Don't worry, I promise Your Majesty won't trouble you again afterwards. Count Calvin patted each other on the shoulder and made a gesture of invitation to the other two, "Two lords, please first." ”

"Earl, before. ”

"Two of you, please. ”

The other two were also pretentious and humble, as if whoever was the first to walk in would be one level higher than the other two.

Normally, it does.

But now the situation is special, and they really want to.

I want the first person to walk in to stand up to the thunder and bear the rest of the Archduke Christine's wake-up gas.

"Where are the people, where are the people?, bring me wine......" Soon there was an impatient roar from the depths of the castle.

The three of them didn't dare to rub at the door anymore, and walked in hand in hand, ready to bear the wind and rain together.

"What exactly...... What is the important thing, it turned out to be ...... Bring my three chief ministers along?" Chrysteen looked at his three court ministers with drunken eyes.

Not only did he not wake up, he hadn't woken up from his drunken state, he wasn't even dressed neatly, and even from a distance, he could smell the strong smell of wine and perfume on his body.

Perhaps the weight of the three in front of him was heavy enough in the heart of Grand Duke Christine to continue to make a big fuss.

"I have an accurate information, the five or six main battle legions led by the Eternal Night Army have been assembled on the border line, and the 100,000 army will kill the high plains at any time, why haven't I seen Your Majesty's countermeasures until now?

"I thought what was going on!" said Archduke Christine lazily, "I already know about this matter, who says I have no arrangements for this matter? Since my military minister, Count Nickles, is here, it is up to you to explain our strategic deployment to Viscount Gauld, the chancellor of the exchequer, who was absent from our military meeting before, after all, if there is a real fight, your army still needs him to cooperate in mobilizing military funds and food and grass." ”

"Willing to serve. Earl Nickles bowed to Archduke Christine reservedly, and said to Galder, "It's not been a day or two since the Eternal Night Army leader peeked into the territory of the Bryan family, when they defeated the old pit viper of the Kingsley family, we had expected this day, this is the instinct of every force after it grows stronger, if it was the Kingsley family who took the Donao Plain in the first place, we also need to face the fangs of the old pit viper."

Not to mention that the Eternal Night Army Leader only gathered 100,000 troops on the border line, even if it was a million, it would be in vain for them to cross the natural danger of the Fault Mountain, and there were our checkpoint fortresses on the main passages.

If they dare to let these 100,000 troops go into battle lightly and go deep into the plateau without any supplies, there is no need to defeat them at that time, we only need to clear the wilderness and drag them for three or four weeks, so that they will not return.

Isn't your arsenal slow to get the most advanced artillery and musket manufacturing technology of the Eternal Night Army?

This is the best chance for us to get started. ”

"What does Your Excellency mean is that the battle plan you have drawn up is to consciously let the Eternal Night Army set foot on the plateau, and then take advantage of the ruggedness of the road to cut off their food routes, so as to achieve the goal of victory without a fight?"

Viscount Copperfield Gauld summed up the meaning of the words of Count Nickles, the military minister of the Bryan family, with some disbelief.

"Since the Eternal Night Commander has a peep on us, he will not easily dispel it, even if we use our geographical advantage to defeat them, they will not completely dispel this idea.

Only by inflicting heavy losses on their main forces can we completely resolve our crisis, and if we can take the opportunity to harvest a piece of the most advanced military equipment unique to the Eternal Night Army, why not?" Count Nickles said about the battle plan they had prepared, his thin face raised high, and there was an unconcealed pride in it, it was obvious that he had played an important role in formulating this military plan.

Viscount Gauld was already dumbfounded at this time, and a cold cold air rose from the soles of his feet, all the way to the top of his head, and completely exploded the pot.

What kind of child's play is this?

What wishful thinking is this?

What a naïve military strategy this is?

What do they know about the combat power of the Eternal Night Lord Battle Legion?

How dare they come up with such a plan to shut down the door and beat the dog?

The premise of the success of this plan is that the other party is a dog, what if the other party is not a dog, but a tiger?

Then it's not about closing the door and beating the dogs, but about luring the tigers into the house and eating them alive.

What's more, how can they be sure that the Eternal Night Leader will go according to their plan?

Wouldn't the Eternal Night Leaders know the pressure that natural hazards have put on their material transportation?

People don't know how to prepare for this?

Those who have been to the Eternal Night Command will know how strong they are when it comes to infrastructure.

Who knows what incredible technology the other party can come up with in this matter.

This is the most terrifying thing about this military leader.

Many things that normal people can't imagine are constantly being made out of their hands.

Now in the eyes of Viscount Gauld, the more terrifying thing is that it seems that only he has realized the horror of the Eternal Night Army Leader in the entire Huayu Plateau, and the others still treat them with the same eyes as normal enemies, and the decision-making plans they make are naturally incredible.

Because not only Count Nickles was complacent about his perfect military plan, but both Archduke Christine and Count Calvin looked like they were convinced of victory.

From the beginning to the end, the core decision-making level of the Brian family did not take this invasion of the Eternal Night Army Leader seriously at all.

Viscount Gauld originally felt that the information in his hands was as light as a feather, because the value of this information should be based on the fact that the Brian family paid enough attention to the invader of the Eternal Night Army.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... His Excellency Viscount Gauld ......"

"Ah......" Viscount Gauld was in a trance, and it took a long time for his gaze to regain focus, "What did you just say?"

"Your Majesty is asking you, isn't this just for you to rush back overnight to ask for important information about Your Majesty?" a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Count Nickles' mouth.

Viscount Gauld suddenly realized at this moment, and when he saw Calvin and Nickles coming with him just outside the door, he thought that they were shocked by the information he had brought back.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all, they are simply watching their own jokes together.

It's not a day or two that they've been dissatisfied with their rapid rise.

In particular, his rise is closely related to the Eternal Night Commander, and he was even beaten as a pro-Eternal Night faction in the Flower Language Plateau, and his relationship with the Eternal Night Commander deteriorated, and after the war was about to start, he was naturally more suspicious.

It was no accident that he was sent out by Archduke Christine to inspect the property and count the payment of taxes in the warehouse at such a critical moment.

Although Viscount Gauld felt that he was already in an ice cave, and he didn't think that his information could play much of a warning role, as a responsible Huayu plateauman, he still dutifully reported the information he had truthfully:" This is a summary of the riots and bloody clashes in the past six months collected from the major territories in my chamber of commerce, since three weeks ago, the outbreak rate of such incidents has increased dramatically, more than five times that of the previous one, and the propaganda rhetoric has been more inspiring, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the original ruling class of the entire Huayu Plateau. ”

"Your Excellency the Viscount is responsible for my intelligence department, right?" Count Calvin's face turned gloomy on the spot, "Your hand as a Chancellor of the Exchequer is too long, and you are insulting me and the intelligence department I lead." ”

"Lord Earl has misunderstood, I have absolutely not interfered in the field of Earl's work, let alone questioned the ability of your intelligence department, the reason why we have collected this information is entirely because of business needs. Viscount Gauld replied calmly.

When he took out this information, he had already expected such a reaction from the intelligence minister of the Bryan family, and he had already prepared a response plan.

"Business also requires gathering intelligence, and this is the first time I've heard of it, so tell me how you plan to use this information?" Calvin's face was even more gloomy, he didn't like to be fooled.

"The price of commodities is often closely related to the local security environment, if the security environment in a region is relatively stable, the prices here are naturally relatively stable, suitable for the sale of bulk goods.

If the security environment in an area is bad, the price fluctuations will become very large, either sky-high, or the goods are pressed in the hands, and there is no way to get out.

If the Chamber of Commerce wants to make money, we need to grasp the local situation and prices first-hand, so that we can transfer goods and earn the highest profits.

This is the biggest purpose of the component chamber of commerce, and it is also the biggest advantage of the chamber of commerce over ordinary businessmen.

The reason why the merchants of the Eternal Night Army are invincible and make large sums of money from other realms is because they have established the earliest and largest chamber of commerce, and I am only borrowing from the mature experience of others. ”

Viscount Gauld's previous explanation made the eyes of the three people present light up, obviously they didn't expect that there would be such a big knowledge in a business.

But as soon as he heard that he had learned from the Eternal Night Commander, his expression turned cloudy again.

All the actions made by Viscount Gauld are inseparable from the Eternal Night Army, which is the reason why he has always been outside the inner circle of the Bryan family and has been unable to enter for a long time.
