1320 Cease and Desist Order (8)
On the one hand, the independence faction that said that they should stand on their own from the Falcon Empire, which was mainly composed of rescued Salander slaves, who did not have a good impression of the Falcon Empire,
"The expeditionary force fought bloody battles in front, but the imperial army picked up a big advantage as soon as it came, and the entire two-thirds of Normandy was included in the scope of the empire, and now even the last piece of land was deprived from the expeditionary force, so what should the expeditionary force do?
This was said by the head of the independent faction, Starshuil, who had been the commander of the 4th Mamouuk Regiment in the south of Salander, who had been captured in the Southern War, who fought bravely, had a high prestige among the Salanders, and had this very stubborn loyalty to the former Salander dynasty, and had always regarded himself as the last Mamunouk, and his words had a great impact on the freed Salander slaves, and even soon became dominant in the expeditionary force, and even received the recognition and support of most of the soldiers,
As he said, most of these slave-turned-Salander soldiers were unhappy with the Imperial Army's transfer of them from the center,
As soldiers, they don't think about who is supporting them in such a huge structure, and they don't think that the results of their attacks are entirely due to the fact that the Empire defeated the main resistance of the Normans in the first place, and what is left in front of them is just a weak area, the Normans are about to collapse at the touch of a button, the expeditionary force sweeps in all directions, and a series of victories make most of the expeditionary force soldiers have arrogant and domineering thoughts.
They looked at the situation in front of them very intuitively, and although the expeditionary force swept all the way, the price paid was not small. In several battles with the Normandy army, about three thousand Salander slaves were killed in battle,
The death of these people made the expeditionary force feel that everything they had obtained was the result of their own hard work, and had no connection with the Empire, but that the Empire had landed strongly, and almost forcibly took possession of the fruits they had obtained. It was not unaware that these regular soldiers, who had set out from Salander itself, were well aware of the strength of the Empire, and they knew very well how ridiculous it would be to talk about a war with the Empire on the basis of these peasant soldiers alone
The arrogance of the human heart comes from ignorance! This is a famous quote of the Richard poet Dian Kol, and at this moment it is indeed the best portrayal of the expeditionary force, the fat man transferred the two chief and deputy commanders of the army at a critical moment. No doubt threw a torch on the dry pyre,
The climate in early spring is quite cool, and the wind blows through the green fields, bringing the smell of the end of winter, and the thin wind passes over the lake. Rippling layer upon layer, the turquoise lake gently flutters in the ripples of the breeze, completely absorbing the blue sky and white clouds into his broad mind.
Schools of fish roam freely in the lake, for someone who appears next to them. As if he didn't care, the trees by the river had already turned green, showing an indifferent demeanor. Even without the green and slender leaves, the emerald branches are a beautiful sight.
"The trees want to be quiet, but the wind does not stop"
The fat man gently threw the bait in his hand on the surface of the lake where the fish gathered, watching the fish fight back and forth for these bait, and the small blisters that floated one by one were like bunches of grapes, crystal clear, and weird
"Your Majesty, Captain Reposti asks to see you!" the guard reported to him again
"Well, I know!" the fat man did not say whether he grabbed a handful of bait, threw it down again, and watched the fish compete while he watched from the wall, and no one knew what was being calculated in the mind of the wise falcon at this moment.
"Your Majesty, look ......," the guard, who didn't know the essentials, asked cautiously again
"Sue the two of them, I'm sick, and no one will see me!" The fat man frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Make it clear, I'm not here to step on spring, I'm here to recuperate."
Yes, the fat man was sick, although this illness came so strangely that even the scheduled annual military meeting had to be postponed, and the two commanders and deputy commanders of the expeditionary force who came in a hurry were impatient like ants on a hot pot,
There was infighting in the expeditionary force, and this out-of-control situation made the two army commanders eager to rush back with one kick, but before they could get on their horses, they were stopped by the guards, "Two, I'm sorry, no one can leave without His Majesty's order!"
"But how can the others leave," Reposti asked after a pause, a little indignant
"They are allowed by His Majesty!" replied Konoe with a blank face
"What about His Majesty," Reposti asked anxiously again
"I'm going to the lake to recuperate!"
Unbeknownst to the two legion commanders, just as they were in a hurry, the forward banner regiment of the Empire's Central Army had begun to assemble, Caesar Sauron's Legion and Salon's Legion had begun to close the pockets that had been arranged for a long time, and a huge fishing net that had already been laid began to be retracted
The fat man took this opportunity to look at the strategic progress of the recent period with new eyes, the empire has firmly controlled Normandy, but there are also many problems exposed, just like the previous design of the eastward strategy, he set his eyes directly on the Gallic Empire, and ignored the influence of other surrounding countries, coupled with the loss of control of the expeditionary force, which is the reason why the eastward expansion strategy had to die
"Proud! proud! I think Lao Tzu is the best in the world! No one dares to mess with him......" The fat man scolded a little indignantly, the morning majestic wind blew on the lakeside, and also blew the faces of the fat man and Nilai, the two of them walked slowly along the lakeside, "Is there really no room for relaxation?" The fat man's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, he threw a stone into the lake, looked at the water lines on the lake, and said calmly, "It's a pity that they gave up, according to the latest intelligence, they have begun to deploy in the Kyoto area, about two thousand people have crossed the demarcated middle line, and along the way shouted the slogan that Normandy belongs to Salander, and boldly hung the imperial flag on the butt of the war horse"
The fat man's voice stopped, and he said, "They used to be warriors, but now they are arrogant and ignorant, and they have touched the bottom line of the empire, if I still pretend to be deaf and dumb, it is a compromise of the entire empire!"
"Can you give them another chance for the sake of my face?" Nilai cried and swollen with a pair of watery eyes, "Anyway, they are also Salanders, they are just a kind of crazy revenge because of the shame they have suffered, this irrational behavior will inevitably become the object of use by some careerists, most of them are good people, and all they want is to return to their homeland!"
"Do you really want to give them a chance?" The fat man turned his head unexpectedly, his eyes flashed with a fierce luster, and he sneered, "Although it is now surrounded by three ways, after all, it has not completely torn that layer of window paper, as long as they put down their arms, the empire will still accept them, infighting is not equal to rebels, you have to think clearly, if they disregard the goodwill of the empire again, then they can only be treated as rebels!"
"I'm sure they'll make the right choice!" said Nilai through gritted teeth and a pleading expression
"Alright, I'll give them another chance!" the fat man nodded unexpectedly, turned around and ordered, "Sue Sรน Reposti, I give them permission to go back!"
In March 206, Botaoscu, a full-time military historian and military historian of the Imperial Military Academy, published his magnum opus "Analysis of the Causes of the Normandy Rebellion in the 3rd Year of the Imperial Calendar - Some Analysis of the Dialectical Relationship between Historical Inevitability and Historical Contingency from the Perspectives of Economy, Politics, Humanities, and Geography: My Views"
His purpose in publishing this paper is actually to rely on it to get a senior title, so as to increase the salary, and the editors who really suffer are those who review the manuscript: after reading the title of his article in one breath, he can still breathe and not faint, not a single one,
Because this shameless and ignorant guy has put forward a shocking point of view in this grand work
In the article, Botaaosta argues that "the rebellion of the Salander expeditionary force in the third year of the empire seems to be accidental, but in fact it has its historical, economic, political, human, and geographical inevitability: and the main reason is that the empire's exhausted finances need this rebellion,
The Imperial Army landed in Obarro, and the military consumption of materials was huge, whether it was the navy or the army, which made the early finances of the Empire unable to support for a long time, and Normandy suffered a large-scale destruction of the expeditionary force, which also completely caught the Empire by surprise.
According to the nature of the falcon, this kind of autumn wind's private behavior must be dealt with severely.
And the basis for this important assertion is that the beginning of this rebellion was so strange that the three armies received reports at the same time,
The two commanders and deputy commanders of the expeditionary force were attacked on the way back in a hurry, and of course, the two stand-ins with only a hundred guards were attacked,
But the Three-Way Army also declared the expeditionary force a rebel at the same time,
was ordered to rebel, and according to the historical records of the empire, at that time, His Majesty the Falcon was still recuperating by the lake, and he had not shown up for half a month.
The commanders of the three armies were in different positions at the time, hundreds of miles apart, how could they be so uniform? This is a typical premeditated murder! Bota Aosta ends with such words (to be continued. )
