"General. "Sir Kleist saluted Axmeiser without saying anything.

Akmesser waved his hand at the captain of the guard and said, "You all retreat, right?"

"Yes, General. The captain of the guards waved at the other guards and exited the tent.

Akmesser stomped back and forth a few steps, and asked without a tail, "Is this what Your Majesty meant?"

Sir Kleist came out at this time, and undoubtedly admitted in disguise that he had done it.

Although the two have not known each other for a long time, Sir Kleist's meticulous mind and style of acting have left a deep impression on Axmeiser, and if there is no one to support him, he will never do such a thing in secret.

"Yes. Sir Kleist bluntly admitted, there was no point in concealing it at this time.

"Why don't you talk to me in advance?" was what annoyed Axmesser the most, and he was unexpectedly defenseless when faced with accusations.

"That's what Your Majesty meant. Sir Kleist replied with a blank face, "Your Majesty said that the general only needs to devote his energy to the army and command the battle, and this kind of small means that cannot be put on the table will not trouble the general." ”

"I am the supreme commander of the Eastern Crusade Army, and I need to know anything related to the battle situation, which is related to the overall situation, understand? I didn't even know about such a big thing, if it wasn't for him being found out, I would never need to know about it?" Akmesser roared angrily.

Sir Kleist replied with silent silence, he was the envoy of Archduke Buck, whose orders had the highest priority with him.

There was no way he could give Akmesser any promises, and the next time Archduke Buck gave the same order, he would still have to do so.

He knew in his heart, and Akmaiser also knew it, and now he was just venting.

Akmer's loss of control did not last long, and he soon regained his usual cold and hard words: "Your mission, I can understand it, but my difficulties, I hope you can also understand, we are all fighting for the future of the Kingsley family, without any selfishness, if there is any accident in the war, it will not be of any benefit to Your Majesty, to the military order, to you, and to me, I mean, you understand?"

"Understood!" said Sir Kleist's expression, which finally changed.

He was a wise man, and of course he knew what Akmesser was saying.

Although he is now the envoy of Grand Duke Buck, after all, he is with the army, and if he is defeated, it will not be good for anyone.

In a way, the two are grasshoppers on a rope.

"I hope that the next time something like this happens, whether it is before or after, talk to me first, let me know what's going on, so that I can do what I can do, understand?" Akmesser added, "It's better beforehand, as long as it's good for Your Majesty, your family, and your military leader, I will never obstruct it, and I won't embarrass you." ”

"Understood. Sir Kleist still only nodded, but it was unknown what the future would do.

"Since it's your person, I'll leave it to you. Akmesser pointed to the mutilated corpse and said, "When he sent it over, his will had completely collapsed, and everything he could explain was probably already explained, and I hope he doesn't know much." ”

"Rest assured, Your Majesty has already considered this aspect, and he does not have much practical things in his hands. Sir Kleist replied.

"That's for the best. Akmesser nodded and said, "Our supply line has been reopened, and the first batch of supplies will be brought up soon, so there is no room for loss in this matter, I will give you 3,000 elite soldiers, go and meet them." ”

"Me?" said Sir Kleist, stunned.

In the Kingsley family's Eastern Expeditionary Army, he has always been in the position of envoy and staff officer, and he suddenly let him take charge of the military and protect the grain line, what kind of operation is this?

Especially after this kind of thing just happened, what does it mean?

Is this a communiqué for personal vendetta?

"Don't get me wrong, this is not my personal meaning, it is also Your Majesty's arrangement. Axmeiser clearly knew what Sir Kleist was thinking, added.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" said Sir Kleist, still confused.

"I'll send the bravest general under my command to lead the team, and Sir only needs to walk around with it. Akmaiser was quite thoughtful, "Your Majesty's arrangement, there may be other deep meanings, you just need to carry it out." ”

If Kleist is allowed to lead the troops alone, he is still a little uneasy.

"Yes. "Sir Kleist, even if he has many doubts in his heart, he must be ordered to carry it out, which is the duty of a general.

Not only was Sir Christ confused about the appointment of Archduke Buck, but even Akmeser thought about it for a long time and didn't understand what was going on.

Akmesser seems to be the supreme commander of the Kingsley family's Eastern Army, but many things are controlled and constrained by the Kingsley family's supreme ruler, Archduke Buck.

Just like the cooperation with the Cummins family, it was also operated by Grand Duke Buck, and it was not until the matter was completely agreed that Akmeiser was notified.

A man like Sir Kleist was not the first, nor the last, in the Eastern Army.

Akmesser knew it, and most of the time he turned a blind eye.

But this time it was really a bit too much, this kind of matter related to the overall layout of the Desperate Swamp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Grand Duke Buck actually skipped him, the supreme commander, and personally took action, if it was because of the misplaced information, causing a major defeat, would it be regarded as his dereliction of duty? Or do you blame Grand Duke Buck for interfering at will?

I'm afraid that the former is more likely.

Didn't Shangguan say that he gave his subordinates a top cylinder, didn't he?

Since the Kingsley family had to fight with the crocodiles and suffered heavy losses, Grand Duke Buck's interference in the Crusade has become more and more serious.

More precisely, this interference should have begun after Sir Kleist brought in a large number of summons for the Eagles.

Previously, Archduke Buck did not want to interfere, but was limited by the problem of communication.

What happened, by the time it reached the hands of Grand Duke Buck, it had been days, or even weeks, and even if he wanted to interfere, it would be three autumns too late.

Now it's different, although there is no way to achieve instant communication, as little as one day, as much as two days, the information on the front line will be fed back to the hands of Grand Duke Buck as soon as possible, as a person with a super strong desire to control, there was no chance before.

Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to get involved in everything.

The chaos caused by the order of many doors can be imagined.

Grand Duke Buck is a smart man, and the drawbacks are not unaware.

But it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to do it.

Especially those who are confident always think that the decision they made is the most correct.

There is no doubt that Grand Duke Buck is the kind of person who is super confident.

Of course, the most uncomfortable of them all was Akmeiser, who was no longer constrained, but felt like he was stuck in a sticky spider web, unable to reach out of his hands and feet, let alone show his skills.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Akmesser has been in the Far Eastern Army long enough to establish his own lineage, and it is not so easy for Grand Duke Buck to bypass him to command the Far Eastern Army.

Those who are really silent like Sir Kleist are in the minority.

Most of them were wall-to-wall, and many times Archduke Buck's orders would be placed on Akmesser's desk as soon as they arrived, and he needed his nod before they could be officially executed.

If he doesn't nod, eighty percent will be perfunctory.

The county officials are not as good as the current ones.

After all, Akmesser still bears the title of the supreme commander of the Kingsley family's Eastern Army.

The swamp fire on the west bank of the Donao River had caused a lot of trouble for the Kingsley family before.

The entire army of the Eastern Expedition was almost carried inside.

But after the most dangerous moment, in retrospect, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Because of the fire, not to mention the potential hidden dangers in the West Bank, it also completely dried up many dangerous mud swamps, at least dozens of centimeters on the surface has been completely dried, even if there is a large-scale march on it, there is no danger.

Without a large mud swamp, the Swamp of Despair would not be called a swamp of despair.

In this case, it is undoubtedly much easier for the Kingsley family to reopen the material transportation line.

During the slow march, the transport routes that had been pushed out were not only not destroyed, but on the contrary, they became more porcelain in the fire, and in many places they were half-bricked.

Even large grain trucks can be unimpeded.

The swamp fire subsided slightly, and Akmesser dredged the place as soon as possible, allowing follow-up supplies to follow, which was a guarantee of the morale of the army.

The Kingsley family's supply line for the Eastern Army was in a "Y" shape that fell to the left.

The fork below is the grain transportation line, low-cost grain from the Huayu Plateau, after going down the plateau, it was directly diverted to the Desperate Swamp and sent to the Eastern Army.

In order to seek the swamp of despair, Archduke Buck used all the means at his disposal, not only did he reach an agreement with the Cummins family, but he also invited a fleet.

An agreement was also reached with the Black family on the Flower Language Plateau to buy a large amount of low-cost grain from here.

As I said before, getting out of the Huayu Plateau and converting one's food into money and political influence has always been the biggest dream of the Banner Family.

When a buyer comes to the door, they are ecstatic, let alone sit on the ground and raise the price.

It's just that you are responsible for the transportation.

However, this condition was based on the fact that the Black family did not want to bear the high cost of transportation.

If someone is willing to pay for the high cost of transportation, then the situation is not a good story.

In order to plot a desperate swamp, the Kingsley family dispatched troops, and one person was eager to break it into two, so naturally there was not so much manpower and material resources to transport food.

But this is not difficult for the shrewd and capable Grand Duke Buck.

Money often unmakes the men who make it.

Grand Duke Buck sacrificed the Kingsley family's usual magic weapon - money.

Grain is at a price in the Huayu Plateau, but once it is transported to the Despair Swamp, the price immediately triples, if it can be transported through the Despair Swamp and directly transported to the hands of the Kingsley family's Eastern Army, it will be directly increased by five times, and the grain will be transported and paid on the spot, and it will never be in arrears.

Even so, this price was several percent cheaper than the black-hearted grain of the lords and nobles in the plains of Asia Minor.

At first, the Highlanders were still skeptical, but with the Kingsley family smashing down the gold and silver like flowing water.

The entire Huayu Plateau was stirred, and those merchants, like sharks smelling fishy, acted wildly.

Carts pulled, horses and camels, and people carried.

All the means that can be thought of have come out.

Countless grains, like fountains, gushed out from the Huayu Plateau.

What natural dangers, what are the difficulties in transporting grain.

That's purely because the temptation of profit is not big enough, and when the profit is big enough, there is nothing they can't do.

When the west bank of the Danube River fell into a swamp fire, the grain transportation team of the Huayu Plateau did not stop, and still transported it slowly but continuously, and the number of transports per unit time became larger and larger.

Because more and more members of the Black family joined in this grain transportation operation, including many farmers themselves, with a few of their children and nephews, carrying the burden on the road, even if only one-third of the grain was sent to the field, it was a profitable business.

The unique topography of the Black family determines that they do not have any external enemies, and most of them spend nearly a third of the year in a state of idleness, which is also the reason why there are drunkards in the Huayu Plateau.

There is too much grain to sell, so I can only make wine.

Alcohol can't be sold, and people are idle, so they can only drink and fight to pass the time.

Now that there is a door-to-door deal, those who don't do it are fools.

Just because they used to be idle and idle doesn't mean they're lazy.

The situation in the Huayu Plateau is the same as that in the Plains of Asia Minor, the real wealth is only the small group of people who hold the ownership of the land, and the peasants at the bottom are still below the subsistence line.

A little adds up.

In just two weeks, the amount of grain piled up is still quite scary.

The border city, which served as a transit point, was filled with grain inside and out, but thankfully the Swamp of Despair didn't rain as much as it used to.

Otherwise, after the rainy weather for the first half of the week, these grains will all grow and sprout.

After the transportation line was opened, these grains were loaded into trucks as soon as possible and transported to Wuyin Lake, where the Eastern Army was located.

Fall down the "Y" shape, the cross above.

Connected are the Carthusian military leaders.

For example, shipbuilding materials and ordnance equipment must be transferred and transported from here.

The situation on this side is very similar to that on the other side.

The Swamp of Despair was stopped by fire, but the preparations of the military leaders never stopped, and supplies were also piled up in the border cities.

After the transportation line was opened, the brigade was also launched as soon as possible.

Then it intersected with the grain line in the middle of the Swamp of Despair, and was transported together to the Eastern Army.

Why were Grand Duke Buck and Akmesser so nervous about the first batch of supplies that came in?

In addition to the fact that the military supplies carried by the Eastern Army have been almost consumed, it is also because the amount of this material is too large.

After a short rest and recuperation of the Eastern Army, Akmaiser had already moved the main force of the Eastern Army to the rear to get food to ensure the safety of this material, even if the possibility of the crocodile crossing the river to attack the grain line was very small.

For the arrogant and domineering style of the Cummins family headed by Stubbin, Axmeiser was very unaccustomed to it.

But I have to admit that they do have the capital to dominate.

The entire Danube River was really left to their own criss-cross, cruising back and forth in groups of three or five, and the warships of the crocodile tribesmen, once they appeared on a large scale, would inevitably attract their rolling attacks.

Now the ships of the Eternal Night can only nest upstream of Brother Harbor, and the crocodiles can only sail in the shallow water tributaries of the east coast.

But there are exceptions to everything.

The Cummins family's armada is powerful, but it is too few in number, for a large river with a total length of thousands of kilometers.

Even if the area they blocked needed to be broken in half, and eighteen warships were thrown into it, there was no way to completely block even a section of the river for dozens of kilometers.

Ensuring that the crocodiles could not transport troops on a large scale across the Danube was already the limit of what they could do.

Not to mention a small wave of people, walking day and night, consciously hiding their whereabouts.

Boats, like ghosts, weave along the west shore of the Swamp of Despair.

Most of the mud swamp pits on the west bank of the Despair Swamp have been dried up, it doesn't mean that the river is all gone, even if it is retained, this is still a water town, and boats are better than war horses.
