500 miles back in 2001!
A carriage of the Imperial Military Affairs Department, under the escort of the Imperial cavalry, slowly passed on the straight road of the Imperial Red Palace, the snow-capped red top, the squeaking sound of the wheels crushing on the snow for several days, and the eyes were withdrawn from the Imperial guards standing upright on both sides of the straight,
Hu Keqili pinched the request he had just received in his hand with a little headache, the last time the report on the possible war between the Central European Barrow side was submitted, and His Majesty Falcon had not replied, and now it was simply a report that had already started, and when this report left the northern part of Gangfei, the war in the northern part of Gangfei had already broken out, and the Imperial Xinjing, located in the northwest area, may have been late to get the news, and got off the parked carriage, Hukoqili walked up the steps leading to the gate, and at the door, he asked the guards standing guard, "Is Your Majesty coming?"
"His Majesty is still at the Essari Palace," the guard replied
"Sure enough!" The corners of Hukochili's mouth smiled slightly bitterly, the Imperial Inner Palace Esali Palace, corresponding to the Imperial Red Palace, which specializes in handling affairs, after two months of construction, it was finally completed yesterday, and His Majesty the Falcon and a group of princesses happily checked in with their luggage, naturally it was indispensable to be crazy for a night, and it would be hellish to be able to get up in the morning, not to mention that there was also Princess Nilai who came from Salander, for the sleepy Majesty, to struggle to crawl out of the body of a woman full of beds, it was like a war.
This luxurious palace that cost the empire 15 million gold coins, landed on the sea cliff in the west of the empire's new capital sea city, has fourteen small buildings and the main palace, there is a special royal passage only 20 minutes to reach the Red Palace, covers an area of about 45 hectares, the building covers an area of 8.8 hectares, the total length is 2119 meters, the cliff is below the royal garden, the range covers the periphery of the cliff wall below the cliff wall for 3,000 meters, it is full of trees, and there are birds and dogs. I heard that His Majesty the Falcon likes to chase foxes on horseback in the private garden with the princesses in his arms.
The designer of this palace is a native of Saland, who is specially recommended by the high priest of the Sky Temple, and is an expert in palace architecture, so it is built with several large partitioned courtyards in the oval shape of Salander flavor, and a magnificent gallery is built outside the courtyard. That is the most important treasury reserve of the empire, the treasures from several royal families of Icadivar and the various treasures of the Gallic Empire conquered by the empire, all of which have been stuffed into this huge palace by His Majesty.
According to the dictation of a master jeweler from the Turit family, it is only one-tenth of the treasures revealed in this palace, and its value is enough to make the Burit family, which was known as a thousand-year-old famous family, ashamed, and the imperial capital, indicating that the empire has entered a formal period of stability.
With the reduction in the aspect of war destruction. The internal development environment tends to be stable, with a large number of people coming from all over Obarro, Putao, and Southwest. In the northwest, cultural texts and artistic treasures from the Gallic side were brought to the commercial urban areas of the empire. Some intellectuals in the emerging commercial class used the study of art and culture to promote humanities through literary and artistic creation, believing that people should be the center. Rather than centering on God and affirming the worth and dignity of the human person. The purpose of advocating life is to pursue happiness in real life and advocate the emancipation of individuality. Oppose ignorant and superstitious theology, believing that talent is the creator and master of real life.
The sacrifices of the Sky Sect disagreed with this, and the merchant class gave the example of the emperor who swept through the countries with the background of a petty nobleman, which is a great proof of this theory; if there really is a god, then this god is His Majesty! If there is only a shout of Long live the Majesty, long live the empire, can there still be people shouting Long live the Sky Sect? This debate on whether it is human rights or divine rights will eventually be won by the commercial class, regardless of whether there is an element of sycophancy.
In Hukochili's view, it is not a bad thing to deny the theology that inhibits people's thoughts, so the empire did not intervene, but took advantage of the opportunity of the Sky Sect to attack the tide, and His Majesty Falcon used all kinds of influence to carry out the good of its teachings, and there was no longer the content of the divine right of kings, and began to advocate peace and justice, and completely chose to give in to the authority of the empire.
Moreover, under the strong proposal of the High Priest of the Sky Parschena, the headquarters of the Sky Sect will be moved to the Northwest Sea City after the Winter Veil Festival next year, and it is conceivable that this move is completely in line with the core position of the empire as one of the political, commercial, humanistic, military, scientific, and religious aspects that the imperial Xinjing should have.
On the Salander side, since the southern governor Statunenko has been stationed in the eastern part of Gaul for a long time, all affairs have been transferred to the Ministry of the Interior, and the autonomous region of Salander in the north has also been renamed the Imperial Salander Province, Princess Nia is compatible with the provincial governor and has hereditary rights, and the Salander people's hatred of the empire has been much duller with several migrations of people to Obaro,
All kinds of novelties are like magma that rushed out of the crater, quickly and in large quantities, the hydraulic loom in the Ministry of the Interior and the commercial alliance under the great recommendation, quickly formed a trend in the northwest region where the cotton field conditions are abundant, the output of cotton cloth has doubled continuously, the price of cotton cloth has been greatly reduced, cotton cloth has become a big specialty in the northwest region, this winter, in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital ordinary people also wear thick cotton clothes, instead of the thin linen clothes in the past, even in the cold and biting winter, the number of people who freeze to death has been greatly reduced
An hour later, the fat man arrived at the Red Palace, and after reading the report in Hukochili's hand, the fat man put the report on the table with a disapproving face, and Berlant Bonnie would flee immediately after giving the coalition a hard blow, as early as he expected, Gangfei North was a big battlefield that was enough to play a maneuver, "the central fox and the northern wolf" The war, some countries have begun to use such an evaluation to look at this battle in the north of Gangfei, the central fox is Rayla, the northern wolf is the Falcon Empire, the Falcon Empire has opened a huge trap in the north of Gangfei, and the coalition forces are also carefully planning how to pull meat from the mouth of the Falcon Empire.
The strength of the Kingdom of Rayla in Central Europe Barro can definitely rank among the top five, 200,000 standing troops, and they have endured for so many years.
The fat man showed his unbridled nature in the new capital of the empire, the entire empire Kyoto sang and danced, the news of the empire for the war has been suspended for almost a month, and many people in the imperial capital have forgotten the feeling of war, because in this battle that shocked everyone's strength bounty, it turned out to be the Falcon Empire's Gangnon back legion, which was on the obviously weak side, and took the initiative to open the curtain against the powerful coalition forces. This was too much of a relief for the Imperials, and when most of the Obaros were focused on the Alliance Observer,
The Falcon Empire's Gangfei Northern Legion, a second-rate legion marked as a motley army in the eyes of all countries, actually hit the Ryla White Steel Legion and the Fifth Army in just half a day with an extremely rapid blow, and after a fierce attack, the Falcon Empire Army retreated backwards, leaving behind the coalition forces that had been completely defeated, and the coalition forces immediately mobilized border forces to retaliate, and the army covered the border line like an ant colony. Trying to save face by defeating the Falcon Imperial Army from the front, but the coalition forces searched in vain for dozens of miles, except for the empty and uninhabited barren frozen soil, ruined villages, and large woodlands whimpering in the wind, not even a single bird feather of the Falcon Imperial Army was fished.
When the battle report came out, the entire north-central O'Barro was shaken, and the Falcon Empire's Gangfei Northern Regiment and its commander Berant Bonnie became famous because of this battle. Of course, the reputation is good and bad, and in terms of the coalition forces, the captain of Bonnie, who does not play according to the rules at all, is seen as a soldier who does not defend the glory of soldiers. The madwoman who acted recklessly, carrying out this dangerous plan with the lives of tens of thousands of troops, was simply madness, on the side of Obarro. After all countries got the battle report, they were shocked at how the Falcon Empire could take out a woman casually and achieve such a dazzling record.
The Fifth Legion of the Ryla people, although it is a well-known front-line combat corps in Central Europe and Barrow, but in the face of an undeclared opponent, the loss of a surprise attack is inevitable, and the commander-in-chief of the coalition front is not incompetent, known as the "Fox Dance" Although the famous general Marquis Fett has a bit of luck, he is definitely a capable general who has participated in many large-scale battles, and the counterattack launched after being raided by someone is also very fast, but the opponent he encountered is more cunning, and he succeeds in one blow, and he is hundreds of miles away, and the attacking troops are all Rayla's elite, and the Falcon Imperial Army obviously has a strong target, or it is directly aimed at the former commander-in-chief of the army, but no one expected that this resounding slap in the face would come from the White Steel Legion, which would never have a problem,
The White Steel Legion is the sharpest sharp knife in the Rayla Kingdom, many countries have been broken by this hard bone, and many times in the foreign wars of the Rayla people, known as the elite steel army that even if there is one person left in the war, it will always move forward and never retreat, but this time, in the frontal battle, it was blocked by a little-known second-rate corps of the Falcon Empire, so that there was a collapse, which really made many generals who knew the difficulty of the White Steel Legion gasp, "Sure enough, I still didn't calm down!" If you get a momentary pleasure and expose your strength prematurely, it will be very difficult later!" In the eyes of the fat man who had risen to the strategic level with his focus on it, he only commented on Berlant Bonnie's brilliant blitzkrieg, "What does your majesty mean?"
Hukochi was stunned for a moment, Berlant Bonnie's attack was definitely remarkable, shattering the opponent's two sharpest fangs under the noses of several times the enemy, no matter how you look at it, it was a convincing victory, but in the tone of the Falcon Majesty, it seemed that he was still a little dissatisfied with such a result, and the requirements were too high!, but thinking about the identity of Berant Bonnie or the Falcon Majesty's personal disciple, this idea is relieved, as a teacher, he can always see dissatisfaction with the results of his children! "I'm sure that this blitzkrieg will make the enemy, who still has a contemptuous attitude, start to weigh the balance of power in this war from scratch" The fat man picked up the steaming glass of water on the table, blew lightly on the cup noodles, watched the water ripples in a circle, and said in a condensed voice. The target of Bonnie's attack was too focused on the Ryla, and although the deterrent power was enough, it destroyed the ratio of forces in the coalition army, and after the main force of the coalition army broke through to the north of Gangfei, it was inevitable that because of the reduction in the number of Rayla's troops and the damage to their prestige, the coalition front commander would not be able to fully roll out the line of attack in one fell swoop as previously planned."
"You are also a veteran on the battlefield!, what would you do if you were the commander of the coalition forces?" the fat man put down the water glass and looked at Hukochili with blazing eyes,
"I will choose to advance steadily and slowly," Hu Keqili reacted immediately, his face changed, and he replied, "On the advance line, while consolidating the defensive line, using the continuous fortresses as a place to store supplies for the army, and on the other hand, strengthening the number of patrol cavalry on the periphery, completely avoiding the possibility of another surprise attack, steady and steady, step by step." This approach suddenly left little of the advantage of the Imperial Army in the first strike, and it only needs to advance in parallel and gradually encroach on the land of Gangfei in one bite, and every time it occupies an area, it will be assigned to a certain country in the coalition army, and the land in the occupied area will be used to connect the cohesion of the entire coalition army, so that all the forces will be mobilized!"
"That's right, the biggest problem of the coalition is that the Ryla army is too strong as the main body. According to the character of the Rayla people, it is inevitable that the other countries of the coalition will not be able to have the same heart as him! It is only a matter of time before conflicts break out" The fat man nodded, stood up and came to the window, looked at the morning scene outside the window and said, "But now that Bonnie has beaten him like this, the arrogance of the Rayla people has been defeated, and the coalition forces have also felt a strong threat from the outside, and the internal contradictions have eased.
The fat man took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bitter. I gave Berant Bonnie a chance to play, but I didn't expect to play too well is also a problem, strategically speaking, this battle is only a loss of 20,000 for the coalition army. On the surface, the victory was achieved, but in essence, the contradictions within the coalition forces were weakened all at once, and a situation was formed in which the coalition countries were now abandoning their previous suspicions and going all out to the outside world.
"So what now? If the coalition forces are really steady. Our army will be at a disadvantage, should we mobilize the Putao and the southwest region to participate in the war now?" asked Hu Keqili with an ugly face
"It's hard to play steadily, but it's not fast!" the fat man turned from the window. He waved his hand to Hukochili, "Send an order to Varisian, pay close attention to the battle situation in the north of Gangfei, and make every effort to defend, and at the same time, the Imperial Navy will send three detachments back to the imperial capital Xinjing, and be ready to transport troops at any time, and the northwest region of Salon will begin to enter combat readiness!
The fat man's eyes were solemn, and he gave a series of orders to Hukochili, and said with a pause in his voice. Thousands of miles of land in the northern region of Gangfei, if the other party wants to swallow it bite by bite, it is absolutely impossible without three or four months, plus Bonnie's Gangfei Northern Army will inevitably be fully contained, and the other party's speed will be slower, since the other party wants to be a turtle crawling on the turtle shell, then simply let him do a good job, let the coalition side gnaw some benefits first, the other party will inevitably invest all the troops in order to speed up, and when the time comes, we will smash the turtle shell and eat the meat inside!"
Fradico, the cold wind carried the snowflakes fluttering down, the earth was silvery white, in the camp of the Imperial Gangfei Northern Army, the flying imperial army flag fluttered in the cold wind, the faces of the soldiers were one by one with a high-spirited momentum, and they began to hear the panic under the pressure of the coalition army, two battles and two victories, the Gangfei Northern Army swept away the two most powerful assault corps of the coalition army, although they were only heavy losses rather than annihilation, but in the eyes of the northern legion, the more than 100,000 coalition troops on the far border were just a rabble, and the morale of the army was swelled to the extreme,
In the legion war room, the atmosphere was not so relaxed, Berlant Bonnie came in from outside the door, took off the snow cloak on her body and handed it to the female guard behind her, her pretty face was cold and the temperature was not lower than the outside, and several generals of the Gangfei Northern Legion were in the war room, "Lord Reposti, is there any new movement of the coalition forces?" Reposti's face was ugly, and he replied with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. After more than 100,000 troops on the coalition side crossed the border for 100 miles, they suddenly slowed down, and even began to build fortresses, warehouses and other facilities on the border, and it seemed that they would not choose to move forward until they built a logistics support sufficient to accommodate the army, which made the attack tactics planned by the legion at the beginning completely have no room to play, if you continue to let the cavalry troops wander outside looking for fighters, I am afraid that the combat strength will be reduced due to lack of supplies, and please withdraw the cavalry troops!" There is no impulsive choice to march in an all-round way! Now we have no way to take advantage of the superiority of our troops to fight steadily and steadily!" "Berlant Bonnie put her hand on the brazier next to her and roasted it, and sighed in combination, "Let the cavalry all withdraw, the other party has suffered a loss, it seems that he will not be fooled again!" "Yes!" Reposti nodded solemnly, the faces of the other generals were not good-looking, no one expected that the situation would become like this all of a sudden, the other party's turtle tactics completely lost the advantages achieved before, and it was also a posture of bullying you and not as many as me, if this situation is followed, it will not take five days, the main force of the advancing coalition army will arrive in Fradico, and then it will be a question of whether to fight or flee, and there is no way to fight head-on, evacuate, and the morale of the whole family that has been encouraged will be completely lost
What should I do? The generals looked at each other, and the wise general Reposti was also in trouble, this is simply incomprehensible!"My lord, the order of the Imperial Military Department!" At the door, remembering the order of the female guard under Bonnie, a female knight with a good figure and appearance walked in with a letter of order, "It's a commendation order!"
"It's miserable, just run away as soon as the commendation is awarded, this is even more difficult to explain!" The generals glanced at each other, their faces were all gray and white, they knew that they would not report their achievements, the commendation order came down so quickly, if there was no commendation, it would be easy to do, anyway, it was not a front-line army, and it was understandable to evacuate, but now there is a commendation order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, is it to ask everyone to give their lives to Fradico?
Berant Bonnie's face turned a little pale, she took a deep breath, took the order book and glanced at it, her face was surprised for a moment, she took a closer look, handed the order to the other generals, and said in a cold voice, "According to His Majesty's order, the whole army will retreat five hundred miles!" "What! Retreat five hundred miles!"
Several imperial generals' bodies trembled slightly, this is too impossible, Reposti took the order from Bonnie, looked at it carefully, and handed it to the next general without saying a word, and the other general still handed it to the next person without saying a word, until the last general finished reading,
Everyone didn't speak, not that they didn't say it, but they didn't dare to say it, how could they say it? The order said that if necessary, the Gangfei Northern Army would be allowed to retreat 500 miles.
That's if necessary, but in Bonnie's mouth, it directly becomes a falcon and orders everyone to retreat five hundred miles!" "What are you doing in a daze, carrying out Your Majesty's order!" Bellant Bonnie's face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she snorted in displeasure, dead fatty, this favor has been accepted, isn't this kind of thing the god of war the most useful at this time, at this time, if you don't take the pot, who will take the pot!(To be continued......
