Chapter 190: Stagnant

The Great Camp of Tuk City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Black Rose Legion, a key town in eastern France that had been evacuated for a few days, had now been overrun by Marshal Rommel from the Guimny Empire and his army of 70,000. The red and white flag, which symbolizes the Kingdom of France, has been taken down, and the black and white flag representing the Jimny Empire flies high in the sky.

After the guards' briefing, the young Silesian deputy corps commander Major General Austin hurriedly walked into the Chinese army's tent, bypassed the huge sand table in the center of the tent to the command table, slammed his heels together and performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Austen, see Lord Marshal!" ”

There was no response.

Austen's eyelids couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he repeated loudly again: "Austen, see Lord Marshal!" ”

It wasn't until the young general repeated the phrase five times that he finally got a response from the hard side.

"Hiccup!" A loud hiccup came from behind the command table, and then Marshal Rommel's unkempt and unkempt face suddenly emerged from behind the table, and he said with some sleepy eyes: "Well, it's you, little Austen." ”

Looking at the sloppy appearance of his idol and boss at the moment, the expression on Austen's face looked a little helpless: "It's me, Lord Marshal." I remember that the second article of our Jimny Emperor's ** law is clearly written, and it is forbidden to drink alcohol in the army. ”

"Oh?" Rommel got up from the ground with some difficulty, then sat down on the chair of his own, and opened his mouth to a strong smell of alcohol: "Forget all the bullshit, all the rules and regulations are only for the incompetent." Come on, come on, let's drink! Wait, fuck, guards! What about Lao Tzu's wine jug? The marshal fumbled around his waist in a fit of rage.

The expression on Austin's face looked even more helpless: "Lord Marshal, the flask is on the ground behind you." ”

"Huh?" Rommel turned his head in astonishment, and sure enough, he found a marching jug that had been used as a wine jug in the place Austin had mentioned. But judging from the open spout of this flask and the sloping on the ground, I am afraid that there is not a drop of wine left in the flask.

"Running out of alcohol? It must have been those little rabbit cubs who secretly drank it while Lao Tzu was drunk. Damn, it looks like it's time to take a good look at military discipline, it's the other way around! Marshal Rommel muttered for a while, and it seemed that the whole person seemed to become more sober, and then looked up at Austin and smiled: "By the way, I almost forgot about you." Do you have something to do with me, little Austin? ”

It's finally time to get to the point. Major General Austin took a deep breath, and the expression on his face looked very serious: "Lord Marshal, we have been in Tuke City for a whole week. ”

"Well, that's right." Marshal Rommel squinted and thought for a moment, confirming Austin's statement: "Judging by the level of headache I have now, it is indeed a normal reaction to drinking heavily for seven to eight days in a row. ”

Marshal Rommel's answer made Austin feel the urge to roll his eyes, but the young major general endured it and continued: "Marshal, but the plan you told me before the war did not seem to be like this. ”

"Plan?" Field Marshal Rommel yawned lazily, seemingly uninterested in the conversation they were now having: "Plans are going to change, what did I say to you then?" Let's hear it. ”

Sparks began to appear in Austin's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "When I was in the Baden camp, I clearly remember that you told me that we would break through the defense line of the west bank of the Inle River of the FranΓ§ans, and then march all the way west until we occupy the city of Paris and the entire kingdom of France!" But now you've made us stop in the city of Tuc, east of France! ”

"Oh. It turns out that you are here for this, and since you came to ask, then I will tell you. Field Marshal Rommel glanced up at Austin and said very casually: "For the time being, this stage of combat operations is basically over. ”

"What?" Austin's face was full of shock, and she couldn't help but lose her voice: "Why? We've only just captured less than four counties of Frans! ”

"There's no why." Marshal Rommel shook his head: "I am the supreme commander of this army, and what I say is the final decision." Okay, you can go down. ”

"Marshal!" Austin obviously could not accept such a decision at all, and the most beloved son of the Duke of Piast, the Minister of Military Affairs of Jimny, also ignored the fact that there had always been a strict hierarchy in the Jimny army, and decided to commit the following offense: "But it is the time when Frans is at its weakest, and it is also the best time for us to annex Frans in a war!" Did the battle of the Inle River make you afraid? If we stop there, how can we be worthy of the 20,000 soldiers who died on the banks of the Inle River! ”

"Humph!" Field Marshal Rommel suddenly raised his head, and a cold light flashed from his eyes, and at this moment, the momentum displayed by the marshal was like a monstrous wave, which instantly overwhelmed the young Major General Austin, making the fearless newborn calf feel a wave of fear.

After staring at Austin for a few seconds, Rommel retracted his incomparably intimidating momentum, and waved his hand at Austin with some impatience: "Let me go down, for the sake of your old son, Lord Duke Piast, I will let you go this time, if there is a next time, then the marshal will be engaged in military law!" ”

"Don't be too the young man, dear marshal." A gentle voice with a hint of a smile suddenly sounded in the big tent.

Before Austin could turn his head, he saw that Marshal Rommel in front of him had already stood up from his chair, and the expression on his face suddenly became quite serious, and he even gave an unprecedented military salute: "Prime Minister!" ”

Austin turned his head sharply and found an old man with a white beard standing behind him with a smile, not Duke Bismarck, the prime minister, or who?

"Austin, deputy commander of the Silesian Legion, see Lord Chancellor!" Oster is also a standard military salute, the expression on his face is even a little flushed with excitement, if Marshal Rommel is the idol in the hearts of every soldier, then this old man in front of him is simply the supreme god in the hearts of every citizen of the Jimny Empire!

Bismarck smiled and patted Austin on the shoulder quite kindly: "You are the child that Master Piast often mentions to me, yes, very good." ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the compliment!" Austin Road. It was at this time that the young major general suddenly discovered that Bismarck was followed by a young man who was about the same age as himself and looked extraordinary.

"His Highness Derich?" Austin was a little surprised and nodded slightly to the other party.

Derich smiled and nodded to Austin as well.

"Alright, dear Austin." Bismarck sat down on the only chair Rommel had given up, and smiled mildly at Austin: "When I just came in, I seemed to hear that you had some different views on the strategy of the marshal?" ”

"Lord Chancellor, I-" Austin was about to say something, but was interrupted by Bismarck's outstretched hand: "Actually, you misunderstood, the decision to have the army stationed in Tuk City was actually made by me. ”

"Thisβ€”" Austin's mouth opened wide and couldn't close it for a long time, "I don't understand, Prime Minister. ”

"You don't need to understand, young little Austin." Bismarck smiled slightly, his eyes shining with wisdom.
