The northern turmoil of the Falcon has not subsided, but the adjustment of the local legion has begun silently, first of all, the local army generals are all trained, and then the local army soldiers are divided, some of the soldiers are divided into the city guard under the city system, the original establishment has been greatly reduced, and on the other side of the sea in the Gallic battlefield, the situation is also changing rapidly, the Falcon Army has been stagnant on the front for a month, and sure enough, the Gaul side is completely convinced that the Falcon Empire has given up the plan to continue to go deep into the hinterland of the empire,

According to the reports of the people lurking in the Gallic side, in these two months, the Gallic Emperor convened a total of four imperial military conferences, from the troops originally arranged to deal with the Falcon Empire, 110,000 people were continuously transferred to the northern battlefield, and 80,000 volunteers of three corps were recruited in various places as follow-up soldiers to devote themselves to the northern battlefield.

The support of 200,000 people was put into the north, like a heavy weight pressed down, plus the famous general Yald already had more than 100,000 people, the strength of the Gallic side began to occupy the absolute dominant position in the battle in the north, in the face of a real empire with a population of tens of millions of people to fight back, this time it was the turn of the weak Slavs to be sad first by the Gauls like a robber, running out of the middle where the butt was not hot, and then the famous Gallic general Staros led the army to trap the main army of 70,000 Slavs who were holding the pass to the northern region,

On July 13, the famous general Yard personally arranged the siege of the city, countless trebuchets of the sun and moon in turn, the Gauls stormed the pass with a huge army of 250,000 people, the Slavs held out for four days and then the army was defeated and scattered, and the northern gate was opened, which meant that the situation in the northern region that the Slavs had previously controlled had changed.

The advantages of the Gallic Empire as a large empire with a large population are manifested here. High population base is the most important resource in the era of cold weapons, the Gallic army in the western battlefield killed and wounded hundreds of thousands, can still take out more than 300,000 troops again after a short respite to counterattack the north, July grain storage, the Gallic army began to expand rapidly,

On the other hand, the Slavs, the disadvantage of the population is clearly revealed,

More than 50,000 Slavs died in the Battle of the Central. Another 40,000 souls were added to the battle of the Pass, and together with the previous losses, 210,000 Slavs had already died in the land of Gaul, and all of them were young men in the backbone of the tribe, such a number could be described as tragic for the Slavic community, whose total population was only about one million, and it is said that in some areas, the Slavic soldiers had already appeared as teenage children and women. It seems that the whole clan has been forced to the brink of a death war.

At the end of July, the Slavs, unable to withstand the pressure, finally sent a negotiator to the Falcon Empire for help, and the fat man appointed the governor who remained in Rusty to take charge of the matter. This time, the previous arrogance of the Slavs has long been struck without a trace,

There is no longer any mention of the vastness of the division of Gaul, but almost weeping and asking the empire to immediately support the Slavs in the northern war. "Even if you can't send actual combat troops, it's okay to be able to provide some powerful ordnance and weapons," the Slavic envoy pleaded with a sad look on his thin and determined face. Everyone knows how terrible the falconry's ordnance and weapons are, and the Slavs believe that although the falcon empire has a gap with themselves, the enemies are Gaul, and they are not necessarily willing to sit and watch the Gauls destroy themselves easily, and if they get the Gallic army in the north, they will immediately go south to the battlefield of the falcon empire, which is also the confidence that the Slavs think that the falcon empire will reply to their request for help. I didn't even know if I was sold......"

Listening to the cry of the Slavs, Duo Xue only raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered quietly, a small adjustment before the Falcon Majesty left, sure enough, the Slavs couldn't bear it, crying to death, there was still a little bit of arrogance from a few months ago! Because the empire broke through the bottleneck of Rasti, the situation of the war suddenly became favorable to the empire, and even the empire's operations would directly affect the Slavs who couldn't even reach the border

According to one point, the so-called war initiative is probably like this!

The Slavic envoy saw that Duo Xue was silent, and thought that the governor of the Falcon Empire was thinking about what benefits he could get, and hurriedly said, "We will not let your country suffer, in exchange, we are willing to exchange six of the seventeen cities that are still under control, if the lord is willing to facilitate this matter, we are willing to pay a hundred catties of gold as a reward, it is definitely the purest gold, all of which are dissolved at high temperature with the collected Gallic gold coins!"

"A hundred catties of gold!" Duo Xue heard this, the corners of his mouth were not angry but laughed, these guys really look up to themselves, and their whole weight is so heavy, "It's really exciting, but unfortunately, I still can't accept it!"

He had already gotten the fat man's choice, and slowly shook his head and vetoed this suggestion.

He glanced at the stunned Slavic envoy and directly proposed, "The battle in the north has been fought so far, and you have no possibility of victory at all, even if you give us all the seventeen cities, it will only be a matter of turning around and returning to the Gallic Empire!"

The Slavic envoy raised his head a little embarrassed, this matter is indeed a bit unauthentic, although it is said that it is given 6 cities, in fact, it is a blank check at all, as long as the crisis passes, the Slavic Council of Elders will not hesitate to take these six cities back, and the Falcon Empire can only sigh in vain,

Seeing that the Falcon Empire didn't take the bait, he looked at it a little overwhelmed, he didn't even want land, what did the greedy Falcon Empire want?

"If you want others to contribute, you must pay a proper reward! If you can't keep the land, if you can't take it, you can't move it, it's useless if we want it! Let's talk about it," Duo Xue pursed his lips disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, and said in a condensed voice, "What do you mean?" The Slavic envoy still didn't know what to say

"I heard that you have collected a lot of treasure in northern Gaul, and you have made a lot of money, while our army is fighting hard with the main force of the Gallic army at Rasti. My majesty has always minded ......."

The voice of Duo Ze stopped, he took a deep breath, and did not speak again, believing that the Slavic envoy understood

"We can compensate for your army's efforts!" The Slavic envoy's face naturally showed a look of contempt, and sure enough, as rumored in the outside world, the Vecchia Falcon was a greedy guy, but the disdain on his face was quickly contained,

At the time of departure. The Slavic Presbyterians considered this and agreed to give 3 million gold coins, and the Slavs did make a lot of money in northern Gaul, and now they are forced into such a situation that money and the like are no longer too important

Duo Xue glanced at the other party, he had long known that the other party would be like this, he was slightly silent, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, and said lightly, "Our requirements are not high." 40 million gold coins, if you can get it, we will not pursue it, on the ordnance. We can also provide 30,000 sets of superior infantry equipment and 4,000 rounds of fuel ammunition, relying on these, I believe that even if we can't completely turn the tide of the war, as long as we arrange it properly. It was also enough to hold back the Gallic army for a while"

"Four...... Forty million!"

The Slavic envoy was stunned by the astronomical figure, and his eyes were about to bulge

"That's all...... Dare to ask for a price of 40 million, it's really ......" The Slavic envoy's face turned red with grievance. Almost touched the lion's mouth wide open face with a mouthful of spit, the hands under the table were clenched tightly, his fingers turned white because of excessive force, he struggled to suppress the anger in his heart, it was simply too insulting, although the Falcon Army's fuel bombs were a good thing, but only 4,000 rounds were definitely not worth such a sky-high price! The other party just wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob

"If that's the case, then there's no need for us to talk any further!" the Slavic envoy slammed to his feet, and he could see that this trip was a humiliating act. The Falcon Empire has no sincerity in negotiating at all!

Duo Zhi looked at the face of the Slavic envoy who would become as white as paper for a while, and as red as blood for a while, and had long expected this, and sighed secretly in his heart, Sure enough, when it comes to the biggest profiteer in this world, it really has to be His Majesty the Falcon.

40 million, Falcon Majesty really dares to speak,

Duo Xue himself has never seen so much money, he is simply knocking on the marrow and sucking blood, and he doesn't even let go of chirping, it is estimated that all the Slavs ate in the north will be spit out, and they will be upside down, but in this environment of imminent extermination, does the other party still have a choice?

He smiled, stood up and patted the shoulder of the angry Slavic envoy who wanted to leave, and said with a sneer, "Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet, of course 40 million can't be just these, these are just accessories, and they can be regarded as the Empire's gratuitous support for the Slavic allies."

"Well, free support?" The Slavic envoy's face did not change, and he stopped in place as he was about to leave, "Of course, our enemies are common, how can we sit back and watch you perish like this!" Duo Xue coughed dryly, nodded, and continued, "Your 40 million is to buy the empire to start a war against Gaul in a short time, I can guarantee that as long as the money arrives, the empire will go to war against Gaul again!"

"The Falcon Empire will really go to war against Gaul again!" the Slavic envoy's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this, this condition really made him tempted, the Slavs did not know that in the plan, the Empire would have started a war against Gaul in August!

"In terms of credibility, the empire has never broken its promise!"

Seeing the heartwarming face of the Slavic envoy, Duo Zhi couldn't hold back a smile in his heart, nodded solemnly, and said with a sincere face

"You should know that our army has 300,000 elites stationed on the Gallic border, once the war starts this time, we will be the end of the Gauls who will not die, under the powerful offensive of our army, if the Gaul side does not want to be forced into Kyoto, the only thing that can be done is to immediately withdraw the army from the north, this is more direct than any support, wealth, only meaningful to the living, if it is destroyed, it is the spoils of the enemy's pocket, only 40 million gold coins, you can buy the survival of the Slavic people, the price is really fair"

"Such a serious matter, I need to protect it from the Council of Elders!" the Slavic envoy looked extremely solemn,

"Of course, we're not such impatient people!

The Slavic envoy hurriedly sent back to northern Gaul in the afternoon, and three days later came back the news that the Slavic Presbyterians had agreed to the agreement with difficulty, but as a guarantee that the Falcon Empire would go to war with Gaul in accordance with the agreement. The 40 million gold will be divided into four payments,

Looking at the text that had just been signed, the corners of Duo Zhi's mouth smiled coldly,

Although northern Gaul is rich, 40 million gold coins is definitely a burden beyond the Slavs' ability to bear, and His Majesty's move is to force the Slavs to take the most brutal measures against the occupied areas, and it is all Gaul's money anyway. What is the difference between shaving once and shaving a few times, but the Slavs don't want to think about it, even if they can survive this extermination crisis, they will not give the Slavs any help in their rise!

The Slavs are finished!

Northern Empire, Achmore

The grasslands in July are full of undefeated flowers. The ground was a new green grass

In the grass seeds, blue marlan flowers, pink trumpet flowers, and small petals of cat's eye flowers bloom. The plain wild chrysanthemums, the wind blows, the clusters of five-flowered weeds beside the ox carts beside the countless tents are all nodding at the waist, and the wolf tail grass picks up a small flag.

"Pour me another drink!"

The fat man was dressed in civilian clothes and lay comfortably on the vast lawn. Commanding Philanton to fill the cup in his hand, looking at the white clouds in the sky slowly drifting by with the breeze, the bones of her body seemed to spread out, and Celelise also changed into the princess's gorgeous costume. Instead, he rode his horse not far away in a steppe suit, the horse's hooves were flying, and the wind swept the steppe princess's heroic long hair. The toned figure is slender and straight, and I see that the fat man's eyes are a little shiny,

The character of the prairie woman is like a spirit, hot and spicy, which makes people feel warm inside

A hundred meters away is a thousand guards cavalry divided into four teams, like a black line standing on the grassy knoll, 100 meters away from the guards cavalry, there are three thousand guards cavalry wearing the uniform of the steppe cavalry, here is a grassland outside the city of Aichemor, according to the customs of the steppe people, such a marriage event of the princess, must hold a full fifteen days of grassland feast, and this time it is also the marriage of the Khan King, and the arrival of the steppe departments is also the most neat in the years,

More than 100 large and small patriarchs, bringing nearly 30,000 followers, will be stationed around the entire Aichemore full, colorful flags fluttering on the grassland, archery competitions, horse races, it is simply a tribal friendship party

"At this time, northern Gaul should also be very tormented!" In such an atmosphere, the fat man ran out in a hurry, and his mind was still concerned about the Gallic battlefield.

The Gallic army was broken through the blockade by itself, and the army broke into the hinterland of Gaul, and the war was like a bamboo, breaking through the three inland provinces, because of the lack of troops within the empire, and considering that the grain harvest was imminent, the fat man had to temporarily stop the march to the hinterland of Gaul, but it did not mean that the strategic progress of Gaul became stagnant, and the previous Slavs arrogantly wanted to share Gaul's ambition with themselves, so that the fat man had long been worried about it, and the cessation of military operations was just an illusion to confuse the Gauls, inducing the military center of gravity of the Gaul side to shift from the Falcon Empire to the Slavs,

Moreover, the hinterland of Gallic at this time was no longer the stable environment it had before, and the fall of the three provinces caused panic in other provinces in the hinterland, and in these areas, Gallic civilians fled in the direction of Gallic Kyoto, which is said to have reached more than one million people.

And because of the previous full support for the front-line operations of Rasti, the materials in these provinces and regions have become very scarce, and the commercial market has long lost its ability to resist due to the embargo, and the materials pouring in from the southwest region of the Falcon Empire have almost unhindered the local market.

The Gallic market, which was originally blocked, was like a broken, all of which were open in front of the merchants of the empire, and countless caravans, like armies, poured into these Gallic hinterlands, and the Gallic nobles could not stop it if they wanted to, because the order from Kyoto, instead of giving them anything, asked all the nobles to donate money to Kyoto to recruit soldiers to form the army of the Northern Expedition, and the armistice lasted for two months, and the commercial trade in the southwest more than doubled,

But what really made the fat man concerned was whether the Slavs in the north would bite the designed bait hook, and he gave it to the Gauls for 2 months, just to see what potential Gaul could show in the end.

The blow before death is always the fastest, and the recovery of war in a large country like the Gallic Empire, with a huge population, is equally amazing.

There are more than 30 provinces in the hinterland, which is simply a natural strategic depth.

If you go all the way unprepared, it is very likely that you will lose ground and end up in a quagmire that you cannot pull out. "Trampling" a black-armored guard rode his horse back from a distance, the horse's hooves raised the grass clippings on the ground, and stopped more than ten meters away, and the guards cavalry above hurriedly walked over with a report, and reported, "Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the governor of the Rasti region!" "Oh! It's finally here!' The fat man quickly got up from the grass, walked to the guard, took the report and looked at it, the corners of his mouth let out a happy smile, and waved his hand to the guard, "Pass my order, the patriarchs of all clans will hold an emergency meeting!"

To explain, the productive forces have limited the empire established by the fat man, that is, imperialism in transition from feudal society, not capitalism, so militarism tends to be strict.

Since it is a militaristic state, it is naturally a country with a military-led form of government, and businessmen are a supplement to the militaristic form of government, and such a form of government is destined to be dictatorial, cruel, radical, and belligerent, and will inevitably be eliminated by history, but this kind of thing a hundred years later has nothing to do with the fat man, the founding monarch who only knows pleasure and eats!
