"From the moment the Black Rose succeeded in evacuating Tuck before Rommel's army, the battle in France was over. "The man who said this was not Prime Minister Bismarck in the city of Tuke, but General Herman in the city of Ridmar.www.biquge.info

In some ways, the world-famous archer general wasn't too lucky. As the saying goes, there is no first and no second, but General Herman is the second recognized general in the Spani Empire. Even though he has made countless contributions to the empire for decades in the army, the hat of this second-year-old man is hopeless to take off for a lifetime. Because everyone knows very well that since the founding of the country, the first place will always belong only to that almost perverted family - the "Golden Lion" Lean family.

But even so, when the hereditary military minister, Duke Lean, was far away in Lionheart, in the northwest of the empire, the only person who could provide His Majesty Charles XVI with the most reliable military advice was this Herman general.

At this moment, General Herman was standing in front of a huge map that occupied the entire wall, and in front of him were His Majesty Charles XVI and more than a dozen important ministers of the Spanne Empire. Obviously, not every important minister of the empire understood the meaning of General Herman's words, so some people quickly asked their own questions: "What is the basis for this, General?" ”

Herman's baton in his hand was lightly tapped in the northwest of the Kingdom of France: "The reason is very simple, after all the 50,000 troops of the Black Rose Army and the Morning Star Army are withdrawn into the Duchy of Normandy, once Rommel and his 70,000 Jimny troops besiege Paris City, it is possible that tens of thousands of Françine troops from the Grand Duchy of Normandy and the usurper Louis Li Ying from Paris City will be given dumplings at any time." ”

When Herman mentioned the name Louie, the expression on His Majesty Charles XVI's face suddenly changed slightly. The reason is also very simple, His Majesty the Emperor's own sister, Queen Renee Charles, Queen of the Kingdom of France, died because of Louis's rebellion.

"No offense, but I think you may be mistaken, General Herman." This time it was an Imperial general from Spany's military department who spoke: "I have heard that the Black Rose Legion, Andrei Normandy, killed the envoy sent by the usurper Louis to persuade him to surrender, so I do not think that André, who was loyal to the Bonaparte family, would be in cahoots with the usurper Louis to come together in a different way." ”

General Hermann seemed to have expected this question a long time ago, and smiled slightly when he heard this: "Maybe it seems to be true on the surface, but Rommel would never dare to take this risk." ”

"But the battle in which Rommel became famous was a very risky story." It is clear that the military general was not so easily persuaded by Herman.

General Herman's baton was moved from the northwest to the east of the Kingdom of France, and it happened to be in the position of Tuke City: "The current Jimny people have firmly occupied the four counties in the east of France, and because the defenders of Tuke City surrendered directly without resistance, as the largest military transfer station in the east of France, countless grains and grass equipment in the entire Tuke City camp have all fallen intact into the hands of Rommel. ”

General Hermann coughed and continued: "Therefore, Rommel is now in a very advantageous position, which can be said to be offensive and defensible. It only takes three or four days to attack the city of Paris, and if it is defended, it will be more than enough for 70,000 troops to hold an intact Tuk city. In addition, Rommel also obtained the abundant food and grass in Tuke City out of thin air, in this case, Rommel did not need to risk attacking Paris City, he just had to wait quietly in Tuke City. ”

"Waiting for what?" Another minister asked.

"Wait for the Français to mess with themselves." General Hermann's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Don't forget, the current Kingdom of Frans is not monolithic. Although Louis the Usurper had secured the support of the vast majority of the kingdom's princes, there were two forces that Louis needed most at the moment that were not under his command, one of which was the Black Rose Legion, which had the support of the Duchy of Normandy, and the other was the Galactic Legion, which was resting in southern France. ”

General Hermann said: "If these two powerful Françine ace armies are under the command of Louis the usurper at the first time, then despite the loss of nearly 100,000 horses on the Inle River, Louis's François kingdom still has the strength to fight Rommel, and it is even very likely that Rommel will be driven back to the east bank of the Inle River." But at this moment, Louis, who lacks troops and combat effectiveness, has no choice but to trap the city of Paris. ”

"In such a situation, Rommel only needs to put on a fierce posture in Tuke City, so that Louis can not make a move to deal with the Black Rose Legion in the Grand Duke's Normandy, and as long as the Black Rose Legion exists for one day, then the Kingdom of Frans in internal conflict will not be able to counterattack Rommel, and can only watch the Jimny people eat the land of the four counties into their mouths. Perhaps the belligerent Rommel and his generals would not have been too satisfied with such a phased outcome, but the Emperor of the Jimny and the cunning Bismarck would have been satisfied. ”

"And don't forget, due to the existence of internal friction, the Kingdom of France has the possibility of being broken by each other. Maybe Rommel hasn't found this flaw yet, but once he finds the opportunity, with the ability of this famous coach of Jimny, he will definitely not miss it. And judging from the current situation, Rommel could have waited two or three years or even longer, while the Françans might not have two or three years before the Black Rose Legion and the usurper Louis would start a life-and-death war. ”

"But," General Herman said after a deliberate pause, glancing around the audience, "the premise of all this is that we have not sent troops. ”

The meaning of Herman's words was well known to all the ministers and generals present, knowing that the Kingdom of France has always been the northeastern barrier of the Spany Empire, and the recently deceased Queen Renee and Bonaparte XI are the sisters and brothers-in-law of His Majesty Charles XVI, and their orphan Princess Bera is now in the palace in the city of Riedmar, under such conditions, how could the Spany Empire not send troops?

In fact, this meeting was originally intended to discuss how, how many and when to send troops.

At this moment, Charles XVI spoke slowly: "You said a very good thing, Herman. So do you have any advice on sending troops? ”

How could Herman not have advice? You must know that he has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and when he heard this, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I do have some ideas. The baton in General Hermann's hand immediately moved to the junction of the Spanny Empire and the Kingdom of France at the bottom left of the map, revealing his battle plan in its entirety:

"I think we should send an army to France at once, all the way north to the Duchy of Normandy, and then join the Legion of the Morning Star, and then attack Louis in Paris or Rommel in Tuck as appropriate. As long as we break through one of them, there is nothing to fear about leaving the other. ”

As soon as Herman said this, various imperial ministers began to exchange words, apparently discussing his plans. But the general ignored the whispers in the room, and turned his gaze straight to His Majesty the Emperor. Because he knows very well that only His Majesty the Emperor is the real one who makes the decision.

However, Charles XVI did not seem to be in a hurry to draw conclusions, but was waiting for something, and this performance of His Majesty the Emperor also made the originally hot-eyed General Herman gradually cool down.

It was not until nearly half an hour later that the court steward hastily delivered an urgent secret letter to His Majesty the Emperor, and Charles XVI almost couldn't wait to open the secret letter, and then finally made a decision: "Pass my order, gather 150,000 men and horses to the border at once, and set out for France in a month." The one in command - the Duke of Lean! ”

"As for you, General." Charles XVI set his sights on Herman: "During the time when the Duke of Leanne is on his expedition, you will be in charge of the military affairs of the empire." ”

Sure enough, it's still like that. A wave of bitterness and helplessness welled up from the bottom of General Herman's heart, no matter how well prepared, no matter how thoroughly analyzed, no matter how hard he worked. But in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, he will always only believe in the master of the golden lion family in Lionheart City, and he will always be able to play the role of the second eldest in ten thousand years in the shadow of Duke Li'an.

Maybe it's time to think about the proposal of the second prince. This well-deserved No. 2 person of Spanne thought silently in his heart.
