Anthony turned his head to look at Grand Duke Curchis, thoughtful.

For the "severe punishment" in his mouth, Anthony didn't care at all.

Grand Duke Mateus upheld the principle that "what the opponent is in favor of, I am firmly against; If the opponent opposes it, I will vigorously support it", and also hurriedly came out of the list.

"Your Majesty, although Viscount Anthony is a little reckless, he is dedicated to the public after all. And the behavior of the Riga mission is indeed not a pity to die. There is nothing wrong with killing him. Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”

Grand Duke Kochis sneered: "As long as you are dedicated to the public, anyone can do whatever you want, and my glorious empire will not be messed up." Besides, Prince Jani's identity is very involved. No matter how much you should kill, whether to kill or not, and when to kill, that is something that Your Majesty can decide. How could he be killed by a little viscount waving his hand at will. ”

The two grand dukes staged a war of words at the court meeting again, and the henchmen of their respective factions naturally echoed and cheered.

Most of the ministers looked at their noses and noses, their noses and their hearts, with solemn faces, thinking about their own thoughts.

Today's court meeting is full of twists and turns, thrilling and exciting. Even in front of the king and a number of ministers in the main hall, a bloody scene of beheading was staged.

And the results after the court meeting are even more far-reaching.

The boy's wave of his hand heralded the arrival of war.

Anyone can see that the young man's series of measures were all discussed with His Majesty the King in advance. The two of them were acting before the Manchu Dynasty.

Now Grand Duke Curcis is holding on to Anthony, but for what?

Not to mention everything Anthony did, it was His Majesty's intention, and of course it was impossible to punish the teenager severely. Even if Grand Duke Kochis was really allowed to get his wish, what was the point of punishing such a young man who had almost nothing to do with the upper echelons of the entire glorious empire?

Unless......

The gazes of many ministers looking at the back of Grand Duke Kochis slowly became intriguing.

"Ahem!"

A light cough dispels all the noise. His Majesty's eyes swept across the audience and he slowly spoke:

"Viscount Anthony is dedicated to his country and has commendable courage. But what Duke Kochis said also has a point, a mistake is a mistake, and a mistake should be punished. ”

A smile appeared on Grand Duke Curchis' face.

The other ministers were a little confused: Could they have seen it wrong?

"After today, my glorious empire will enter a state of war. Not only do the front-line soldiers need to fight bravely to kill the enemy, but all the people and organizational forces in the country need to provide logistical support for the warriors on the battlefield. Viscount Anthony has no literary talents and military strategies, and they are all the best choices. Ordered to assist Prince Andrei from today in dealing with all matters relating to the use of troops against the Riga Empire. I hope that the viscount can make meritorious service and make up for his mistakes. ”

Anthony bowed down to receive the order.

The smile on Grand Duke Kochis's face froze instantly, and he was about to start again.

His Majesty had already stood up, his sleeves flicked.

"That's all for today. Scatter the dynasty! ”

After His Majesty left, the ministers in the main hall also left in groups of threes and twos.

Grand Duke Curcis raised his head and walked out of the hall first.

As he passed by Anthony, he slowed down slightly, snorted heavily, but walked straight over without looking at him.

Grand Duke Mateus followed behind him, walked up to Anthony with a smile, raised his hand and gently patted the young man's shoulder: "Good! Good! Good! Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager! At your age, I'm far inferior to you. Matt Sias, that old guy is old, and his vision is not good, so let me take care of you. Do you need my care, boy? ”

Anthony said humbly: "In any case, I still have to thank the two grand dukes for their kindness. ”

Grand Duke Mateus patted him on the shoulder vigorously and walked out laughing.

The others also hurried away.

They and their families must be deeply involved in the great changes that have happened today. It's better to go back quickly and gather everyone together to discuss it urgently.

……

"No matter how unwilling you are to admit it, in terms of military strength, our country is indeed far inferior to the Riga Empire. Even if the Riga Empire is fighting on two fronts at the moment, most of its energy is drawn up by the Holy Empire on the Eastern Front. If we go head-to-head, it won't be us who wins. ”

"There are many things where the Riga Empire is stronger than us, and one of the most important things is people. The Riga Empire was aggressive and fought all year round. The small and weak countries around it have been destroyed and swallowed up by it. It is this ever-expanding national policy that has allowed their army to experience countless wars, accumulate rich combat experience, and hone a division of a hundred battles. ”

"On the other hand, my glorious empire is located on the northwest edge of the Oss continent, surrounded by the sea on three sides. Far from the middle of the continent, far from the troubles of various countries, the province of Edinburgh guards the gateway to the east, and the interior of the empire is like a paradise. But also because of this, except for the army under the command of Grand Duke Mattesias, almost all of our troops have not experienced a large-scale war. ”

"The gap between the forces of the two sides is so obvious that there has not yet been an official confrontation, and it is almost possible to determine the outcome of the battle in advance."

"Therefore, the advice I gave to Your Majesty at that time was only one word: Shou!"

Anthony picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of warm fragrant tea.

At this moment, he is telling Prince Andrei and others about the current situation facing the empire, as well as some suggestions and opinions on countermeasures.

It has been a few days since the court meeting that caused the two empires to shake violently. His Majesty's words about Anthony making amends are not empty words. The king is also very curious and looking forward to the legendary magical experience of this young man in the information, and of course he will not let the talent go easily.

Of course, it was a matter of the rise and fall of the country, and it was impossible for the king to entrust everything to a young man whom he had only met a few times. Even his son Andre, whom he admired, could only participate more as a student in this national war. After this tempering, he must be able to quickly grow into a qualified heir to the throne.

As long as the Glorious Empire can survive this difficult time.

Anthony was appointed as Prince Andrew's assistant, so that people could see his true abilities and not delay major events because of the boy's possible misname. If he can really show the terrible maneuvering ability described in the intelligence, then he can be regarded as finding an excellent teacher for Prince Andre.

Even if Anthony's ability to plan and lay out does not meet His Majesty's expectations, his martial arts cultivation is worth looking forward to after all. He is not yet twenty years old, young enough to have a bright future. If you can become a friend or confidant of Prince Andre, and form a deep friendship with each other early, it can also be a big help in the future.

Relatively speaking, Prince Andre witnessed the defeat of the golden fighter Frankie by his own eyes, which made His Majesty the King more convinced of Anthony's martial arts cultivation.

As for strategic calculations, although it is true that some people are naturally much smarter than others. However, there are many aspects involved in the design layout, which requires not only a smart brain, but also a wealth of life experience. In a way, it takes enough experience of success and failure.

How much experience can a teenager under the age of twenty have? Could it be that he could still bring the experience of his predecessors from his mother's womb?

Therefore, His Majesty the King has reservations about the young man's ability in this regard, and is very "polite".

However, Prince Andre, who was listening attentively to the young man's speech and looked extremely respectful and admired, and the two staff members he brought with him, who were originally unconvinced and planned to come up to find him, had a very different opinion from His Majesty the King at this moment.
