Chapter 972: Gauld's Speculation
However, his talent in business, especially his active application of the policies of the Eternal Night Army, forced Archduke Christine to rely on him to bring more wealth to the Brian family.
Count Calvin's face soothed a little: "We have already noticed the local turmoil you mentioned, and sent people to investigate and deal with it, it is all a good thing done by the revolutionary party, they also heard that the Eternal Night Army Leader is preparing to invade us, and thinks that there is an opportunity to jump up and down, trying to seek greater benefits from it, they are just a group of clowns who can't take the stage."
As long as we can wipe out the invading army led by the Eternal Night, these people will naturally retreat.
If they don't know how to advance or retreat, then we will directly lead the army and uproot them. ”
"There are indeed quite a few agitated revolutionary parties in it, but I don't think it's that simple. Viscount Gauld shook his head.
"Your Excellency Viscount doesn't mean to say that the Eternal Night Army Leader is behind this matter, right?" Even a fool can hear the mockery behind Count Calvin's back.
"Yes. Viscount Gauld nodded in acknowledgement, "From what I know about the Eternal Night Lords, this matter has nothing to do with them.
I'm not guessing, I'm guessing based on the way the Eternal Night Leader has behaved in the past.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Eternal Night Military Command, a special department called the Hawkeye Special Service Department was established, which is the predecessor of the current Military Intelligence Special Operations Department, they are mainly engaged in infiltration and intelligence gathering in other territories, and there is no shortage of their Hawkeye and Eagle Claw on the Huayu Plateau. ”
"You don't need to popularize science for this, my spy has no less to deal with them. Count Calvin said confidently, "They are far less amazing than you say, their unique faces are the biggest obstacle for them to penetrate into our territory, my people have already stared them to death, they are very peaceful, and they have not participated in local unrest, as long as the battle starts, my people will take them down as soon as possible." ”
"The ones that Lord Earl is eyeing are just targets that people put in the open to attract your attention, who said that their eagle eyes and eagle claws must be the faces of the Andes? How can you be sure that those revolutionary troops themselves are not the people who have been brainwashed by the Eternal Night Army to disrupt the situation in our territory?" Viscount Gauld launched a series of rhetorical questions to Count Calvin.
Without waiting for an answer, Viscount Gauld continued: "It is not uncommon for many revolutionaries to maintain close relations with the Eternal Night Commanders, mainly because of their sinister intentions of using the name of those revolutionaries to stir up people's hearts at this time.
You look at their propaganda slogan this time.
Blood debt and blood repayment.
Kill all the rotten ruling class.
Take back what belongs to us.
If war breaks out and there is a collapse, imagine what we will face?"
"It's nothing more than some disgruntled mobs who take advantage of the chaos. Count Nickles still waved his hand indifferently, "Don't worry, the situation you are worried about is not a big chance to appear, you just said, this is based on the situation that we are defeated and the situation collapses, we are ready to adopt the tactics of clearing the wilderness, we will not easily meet the opponent, there will be no large-scale rout, even if there is a real accident, those mobs will not become the climate." ”
"Lord Earl still doesn't fully understand what I mean, nor does he understand the sinister intentions of the Eternal Night Lord. Viscount Gauld shook his head and directly broke the words, "What I'm worried about is that the so-called revolutionary army and the so-called local riots are just smoke bombs raised by the leaders of the Eternal Night Army to uproot the local nobles of the Huayu Plateau. ”
Speaking of which, if Calvin and Nickles didn't understand, they wouldn't be qualified to sit in their current positions.
Count Nikelus's face finally changed drastically: "What does Your Excellency the Viscount mean that the Eternal Night Army Leader does not simply want to annex the Huayu Plateau, and is not ready to accept the surrender, and is ready to kill all the original nobles? ”
"Who says they did it?" asked Viscount Gauld, "and even if this were to happen, it would be the work of the most heinous revolutionaries, and what does it have to do with their Eternal Night?
What's more, once the Lower Plateau is annexed, the territory owned by the Eternal Night Army Leader itself will be no less than the sum of the other territories of the Alliance, do you think there will be nobles who will dare to stand up and say a fair word for us?"
Archduke Christine, who had been drowsy, couldn't help but straighten up at this moment and asked: "Will this happen, let's leave it alone, I'm curious, what made you have such a bold guess?"
"The Eternal Night Army Territory is different from the ruling model of other territories, and if you carefully study their system, you will find that in their system, there are only official positions, no aristocratic privileged class, even the vassals that Princess Sophia originally brought over, are losing their dominance over the territory, let alone the control of the army.
If the lords of the plateau surrender to the past, I believe it will be a very difficult thing for them to deal with.
If the territories and wealth of these lords are not guaranteed, even if they rebel, it will not be long before they betray.
If you kill them all, you will be saddled with tyranny.
Defending their interests would violate the entire system of the Eternal Night Warlord.
The easiest way is to give these lords no chance to surrender.
Those revolutionary parties are a good knife, which can achieve their own goals without dirtying their hands when the time comes. Viscount Gauld said in depth.
"His Excellency the Viscount is worthy of being a master of the night, not only does he know how they make money, but he even studies their system so deeply. Nickles replied without saying anything, and turned to Christine to be fair, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, all of what His Excellency the Viscount said is hypothetical, and there is one of the most important premises, that is, the Eternal Night Commander really has such a great appetite to be able to swallow the entire plateau in one gulp."
You should know very well how vast the plateau is, but we have a depth of 600 kilometers, and I don't believe that we can't drag them to death.
Even if there is a small defeat in the frontal battle, don't worry too much, we still have Miss Enid.
She will never sit idly by and let her hometown be invaded.
They only need to make a move on the other side, and the Eternal Night Leader will have to withdraw his troops. ”
"You'd better not put your hopes in other people. "Viscount Gauld is not so optimistic, "First, the two territories are too far apart, communication is difficult, and now in the sky above the border of the plateau, the number of killer doves specially trained to hunt carrier pigeon flying eagles is amazing, and it is difficult for carrier pigeon flying eagles to cross the air blockade and send the news out of the plateau smoothly, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be a big problem on the plateau, and our news has not been sent out."
Second, most of the power of the Lancelot royal family has been stolen by the Holy See, and Miss Enid has relatively limited control, even if she wants to help us, she needs strong support from the Holy See.
It's a bunch of hypocrites and greedy, and we'll have to pay a heavy price to get them to help.
And Pope St. George's ambition to establish a unified territory of divine and royal power and replace the royal family of Lancelot is known to the world.
They have been delaying this because they are concerned about the reaction of the old aristocratic class loyal to the royal family, especially the Eternal Night Warlords.
Once the Eternal Night Army takes us as a condition for secret negotiations, and negotiates with the Holy See, it is very likely that a consensus will be reached that is extremely unfavorable to us.
No, they've already agreed.
With such a large-scale deployment of troops by the Eternal Night Army, our side has received clear information, and it is impossible for the Holy See, which is more concerned about the Eternal Night Army, not to receive it.
But so far, the Holy See has not even made a verbal statement by taking any military threat against the Eternal Night Commanders to prevent them from sending troops to the plateau.
On the contrary, I have heard that Pope St. George has once again left the Holy Mountain to embark on a new round of sermons, and the itinerary will be spread throughout the inner territory of the new royal court, including the recently conquered South Island of the Twin Peninsulas, and the Carthusian military domain of the Kingsley family, do you know what that means?"
After a series of analyses, Viscount Gauld has changed his previous caution and become a little aggressive.
The originally somewhat chaotic thinking, after this venting analysis, has become clearer and clearer.
At this moment, Viscount Gauld felt that he had touched and peeked into the shady curtain of the political pattern of this continent.
The content he peeked at made his hands and feet cold, like falling into an ice cave.
His beloved hometown Huayu Plateau is the biggest bargaining chip that has been traded at will behind this shady scene.
"What does that mean?" asked Archduke Christine, Count Calvin, and Count Nickles in unison.
His expression had changed from his previous relaxation to solemnity.
Viscount Gauld's analysis made them realize the seriousness of the matter.
Viscount Gauld threw out the final analysis, "This means that Pope St. George is further strengthening his personal influence, making the faith and rule of the Holy See more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and completely replacing the royal court. ”
Bang!
Grand Duke Christine's goblet shattered to pieces, and he blew his beard and glared at him, "Shameless! Shameless! Shameless! St. George's shameless bastard, this is trading with me, my territory, and the hairy boys of the Eternal Night Army.
I didn't hesitate to take my daughter, support their merger with the royal court, and support them in seeking greater benefits, and they treat me like this now.
This is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, this is a shameless betrayal.
No, I must not sit back and die so easily, come, bring me pen and paper, I will personally write a letter to little Enid, she is now the real ruler of the Lancelot royal family, and my grandson is the future heir of the Lancelot royal family, how can I let the greedy jackals of the Holy See steal it?"
The strength of the Brian family's confrontation with the Eternal Night Leader, the unique geographical advantage of the Flower Language Plateau is only one aspect.
On the other hand, Queen Enid, who has become the helm of the royal family of Lancelot, and the Holy See of St. Aether behind her.
As an important ally of theirs, the Flower Language Plateau is a nail behind the Eternal Night Army, and it will not be easily destroyed.
Gauld's analysis directly shattered this hope.
"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down. Earl Calvin hurriedly stopped, "This matter, so far, is only the personal analysis of His Excellency the Viscount, and does not represent the facts.
Even if everything that His Excellency said was true, we could not take such extreme measures, and the complete tearing of Miss Enid with the Holy See would not help us in any way in our current situation, but would completely sever the cooperative relationship with the Holy See.
A more correct approach would be to have Miss Enid put pressure on the Holy See not to make the choice of abandoning us lightly. ”
"I think Earl Calvin's opinion is very pertinent, and the situation is not so bad. Count Nickles also admonished beside him, "We only need to adjust the original plan a little, and take the initiative to intercept and defend, as long as we defeat the invading army of the Eternal Night Army, all problems will be solved, and then I will see what kind of face the Pope has to say goodbye to you." ”
The persuasion of the two important ministers in turn made the Grand Duke Christine withdraw from his anger, and he nodded involuntarily and said: "They are only external forces after all, the most important thing is that we are strong enough to gather the army, Count Nickles, you pay more attention, Count Calvin, your spy sentries, you must cooperate with Count Nickles, Viscount Gauder, and the deployment of military supplies, then pay more attention." ”
Grand Duke Christine paused slightly, "I see Viscount Gauld's loyalty to me and the territory, and your reward is indispensable after the war, during this time, in addition to doing your own job, you also pay more attention to the various movements of the Eternal Night Commander, in this regard, you have the advantage that Earl Calvin's spy post does not have." ”
"Yes, my king. ”
"Thank you for your trust, I will do my best to assist Count Calvin and never let your Majesty down. ”
Three important ministers of the Brian family received the order at the same time.
"The revolutionary party that Viscount Gauld said earlier was deliberately supported by the Eternal Night military leader, although the possibility is not particularly large, but it is also an uncomfortable thing to let a group of betrayers behind us, pass on my order, let the vassals everywhere, increase the encirclement and suppression of these rebels, and eliminate the evil must not be exhausted, this time they must be uprooted and completely eradicated. "Archduke Christine gave another order.
