In a moment, Pedi was left alone in the room, and he looked at the magic clock on the wall, thought for a while, and pressed the button on the coffee table.

The door was then pushed open, and Secretary General Wolf Ma walked in, "Your Majesty?"

"Let Sir Bipp and Sir Danny in. ”

"Yes. ”

Less than a minute after Wolfma exited, Sir Bipp and Ser Danny each walked in with a stack of papers.

"Wolfma, you also come in and record our conversation. Pedi instructed Wolfma, who was about to close the door and leave.

Wolf Ma nodded "yes" and followed the two ministers into the room, and Pei Di took two more puffs of his cigar, "Bring me a cup of tea, my throat is dry." ”

"I'll do it. Derrick put the document in his leather bag and said to Wolf Ma, who was about to fetch water: "You go first, the conversation between the Prime Minister and His Majesty will begin soon." ”

At the reception sofa, Peddy interrupted the old sir's salute and pointed to the nearest sofa, "Sit down and say...", he habitually played with the ruby ring on his left thumb, and after Bipp sat down, he asked, "When will the war mobilization be completed?"

"Under normal conditions, it takes at least two months for a national war mobilization. Bipp placed the paper he was holding on the coffee table.

Pedi raised an eyebrow, "It's not in the norm right now. ”

"Your Majesty... In the rear of the kingdom in the early stage, because of the Battle of Sukecheng, one-third of the area was actually in a state of war, and each territory also strictly trained reserve corps according to the orders of the military headquarters, and countless factories stockpiled conventional armaments and materials enough for us to fight a conventional war for more than three years. Bipp flipped through a data survey document, looked at it, and pushed it under the king's eyelids.

"Say whatever you want!" Pedi was uninterested in the data in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Bowenlet's mobilization order is to mobilize all the reserves in the kingdom and establish a large training camp in the plains south of Suk City in the face of the impending war. Bipp flipped through another document, "Such a large scale of mobilization will be completed in a month, unless you can give me tens of thousands of officials," he shook his head, "otherwise it will not be possible at all." ”

"It's not that the Legion isn't giving us extra time, Sir. ”

"Yes, so I suggest a different way..."Bipp carefully observed the change in the king's expression as he spoke, "Your Majesty, if the war mobilization is only carried out for the Suker Plains and the Iruk Territory, I am confident that it will be completed in half a month." ”

Seeing that the king was not disgusted by this, but instead showed a thoughtful expression, Bipp hurriedly flipped out a document, "Because of the wars that have been going on in these two regions in the past five years, there are many young men with simple military training, and these people are our best reserve soldiers for the war of the undead legion. ”

"Half a month, you... Are you sure?" Peidi is most concerned about time right now.

"The Sukh Plain can go to war at any time, and there are countless unemployed people who can be recruited to serve the war effort, just... The logistical pressure will be high. Bipp said and took out a thick document and put it in front of the king's eyes, "With the current level of manufacturing and agriculture in Suk City and Iruk, they can't afford a huge war, but the rear of the kingdom can!"

"Behind the kingdom... Are you talking about Crewe?" Pedy savored Bipp's words, "What do you mean... Recruit soldiers in the Sook Plains and Iruk Territory, and war materials in the Crewe Territory?"

"This is the best that the Prime Minister's Government can come up with at the moment. Bipp pointed to the document on the coffee table, "This is the way we came up with analyzing the data, and the data doesn't lie." ”

"Just do as you say, and you will supervise it yourself. Pedi didn't hesitate too much, didn't go through the thick paper, and said after Bipp took the order: "But the national mobilization order will not be changed, the undead army led by Cullen is ready for their war of aggression, and if they dare to invest a million army at the beginning, it means that a second million army, or even a third, can be invested in the subsequent war, and... According to the speculative data of the mage troops and elves, they really have such strength!"

Pedi took out a document from the small filing cabinet next to the sofa and threw it on the coffee table, "Take a good look at this document, but it's only for a look, and you can't mention it to anyone without a command." ”

Bipp took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart and picked up the document that the king had thrown over, a very simple statistical document.

Peddy didn't give Bipp time to read quietly, he took out a puff of his cigarette and put his cigar on the ashtray, glanced at the boiling water in the fireplace, and said, "We're going to prepare for the worst, it's only a matter of time before the whole of Felder's territory falls, and we may have to fight a protracted naval battle with the undead on the sea in the future!"

"Expected in half a year..."

"You've got a month left. "I'll add another 200,000 crowns, and if you can't get it done within a month, I'll be the Prime Minister of the government." ”

Bipp was shocked, and instinctively raised his eyelids to meet the king's eyes, and under the king's stern gaze, he quickly lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but feel a little bitter, because he had already forgotten all about it.

"I will make sure that these two lines are completed on time. Although Bipp has no bottom in his heart, he can only bite the bullet and go up.

"Don't deceive me with inferior engineering, I will order the technicians of the joint laboratory and General Buck to go to the acceptance, if a quality problem is found, no matter who it is... Kill them all!" Pedi said with murderous intent, "Don't look at me like that, this line should have been completed last month, it's your responsibility." ”

"Yes!" Bipp was speechless, for the king was right, the two manufacturing lines should have been completed last month, but the queen had been stretched for half a year because no one paid attention to them.

Pedi didn't care about Bipp's feelings at the moment, he opened the record book and asked, "How are you preparing for the coronation?"

"It's almost there, and the nobles and local dignitaries from all over the kingdom have arrived in Suker City one after another. Bipp became more cautious.

"Yes. Hearing this, Pedi stretched out his right hand and palmed his cheek to think, and said after a half-sound: "I plan to bring forward the coronation ceremony to three days later, and the venue will be changed to the mouth of Manwes Canyon." ”

Bipp's pupils shrank suddenly, and Daric Danny, who was making tea next to him, was also shocked and almost made the kettle in his hand fall, and Wolfma, who was in charge of recording the conversation, suddenly looked up at the king who was frowning and thinking.

"Your Majesty, if the coronation is brought forward... Many of the nobles of the kingdom simply couldn't make it, let alone at the mouth of the Manwes Gorge. Bipp organized his words and said in as tactful a tone as possible: "Do you..."

"I will be crowned Emperor in the presence of the Alliance, and the First General of the Elves and the King of the Orc Khan will witness my coronation. Peddy interrupted Sir Bipp, "As for the nobles and officials of the kingdom, they don't have to go any further... In five to seven days at most, our war with the undead legions will begin. ”

"Your Majesty..."

"Now you will serve a long war, do not think about the illusory things, my coronation is under the protection of the gods... I am also confident that my subjects will understand my decision. Pedi's tone was less casual than just now.

Bipp couldn't make eye contact with the king, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, then sighed to himself, and saluted the king: "Your will, Your Majesty. ”

At this time, Daric Danny leaned in with four cups of tea on a tray.

The faint smell of tea lit up Pedy's eyes, and he reached out to pat away the smoke that had gathered around him, and took a hard breath of the light fragrance, a refreshing feeling filling his lungs.

"No matter what happens, as long as you smell the fragrance of tea, you will feel much better. Peddy smiled slightly, pointed at Bipp and said, "Don't bother with the coronation anymore, go to Sir Bowenright now, and pass it on to him." ”

"Yes!" Bipp stood up.

"The war we are about to break out is unlike any war we have experienced before, it is a war of life and death, and we have no way back, because to take a step back is to destroy completely. The smile that Pedi had just shown faded away, and he stared at Bipp, who was standing respectfully in front of him, and said, "For the sake of victory, we can no longer hold any more reservations, remember... From now on, everything we do is in the service of this war!"

"Yes!" Bipp buried his head lower.

"Step back and get things done. Pedi waved his hand, having thought about changing the prime minister of the government two months ago, because Bipp was a very conservative aristocrat, and conservative people must not be able to adapt to the war that was about to unfold.

Naturally, Bipp also sensed the king's displeasure with him, which filled his heart with bitterness. He felt that he had tried his best to catch up with the king, but there was always a feeling of being left behind.

'Perhaps... After this mobilization, I should consciously submit my resignation. Bill suddenly had this thought in his mind.
