"Chapter 63: Negative Response"
The maternal woman sees sexual relations as a means to an end, while the prostitute woman sees sexual relations as an end in itself.
– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)
The 10,000 men of the 2nd Division of the 55th Army Corps marched into the province of Brojançon, and the sudden entry of an army of such size into the province of Brojançon, even from the direction of the province of Nice, would inevitably arouse the alarm of the garrison of Brojançon.
Among Bai Feng's cronies who stayed in Brojansson Province, the five highest-ranking people were Moritz, the military officer of Brojansson Province, Heinrich, the secretary of affairs, Hess, the civil affairs officer, Shalah, the finance officer, and Wink, the commander of the 3,000 city defense army of Brojansson.
When they learned that the Duke of Rundsteadt's army was escorting the Marquis of Bedouin to the county of Bromjansund, their first reaction was to convey this important information to the generals of the Fire Legion who were leading the army near the county town of Bromjansund.
At this time, if the army stationed outside the city of Brojansson County was the 1st and 4th Divisions of the Fire Legion, Rodriguez and Danilo, who were unruly and knew that they would not have a good result with the Marquis of Bedouin, would definitely take some countermeasures.
Even if they don't do anything to harm the Marquis of Bedouin, that doesn't mean they'll sit idly by, and when the time comes, the most likely scenario is that Rodriguez and Danilo will take the initiative to evacuate the county town of Brockians, avoiding the Marquis of Bedouin.
Bai Feng, who had already made this judgment, deliberately deployed Rodriguez's 1st Division and Danilo's 4th Division in Toulon Province, which is next door to Brojansson Province, and stationed in Brojansson Province, the divisions of Eder, Ospina, and Sania.
Before leading his army out of the county town of Bronjansson, Bai Feng deliberately left Moritz, Wenk and others with the guidelines of 'non-violence and non-cooperation', the purpose of which was to make Moritz and others refuse to accept the command of the Marquis of Bedouin and maintain their independence.
The so-called 'non-violence, non-cooperation' means that Bai Feng ordered Moritz and others not to use any violent means against the Marquis of Bedouin, and let the Marquis of Bedouin do whatever he wanted in the city of Brockonshire and do everything he wanted.
But when it comes to matters related to their terms of reference, Moritz and the others are not allowed to obey the orders of the Marquis of Bedouin, nor are they allowed to violate the various institutional rules established by Bai Feng;
With 3,000 soldiers of the city defense army and the Sophia Chamber of Commerce, as well as Moritz and others who were supported by the people, it was naturally not difficult to implement Bai Feng's 'non-violence, non-cooperation' plan, so they were not frightened by the arrival of the Marquis of Bedouin at all.
Compared with the calmness of Moritz and the others, Eder and other three generals of the Fire Legion, who learned that the Marquis of Bedouin was about to arrive in the county town of Brojansson with tens of thousands of troops, were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
The last mutiny of the Fire Legion against the Marquis of Bedouin was purely initiated by the two of Rodriguez and Danilo, but who can prove that the mutiny had nothing to do with Eder and the others? Even the Marquis of Bedouin believed that the mutiny was a conspiracy of the Fire Legion!
Eder, Ospina, and Sania, who jumped into the Cangluo River and couldn't wash it, quietly gathered in the barracks of the commander of Eder's division on the night of the day they learned the news, and began to spy on how to deal with the upcoming Marquis of Bedouin.
"In three days at most, Bedouin will arrive at the county town of Brojansund, escorted by a large army. Eder, who was the commander of the second division, opened his mouth and asked the other two: "The third and fifth, what do you think?"
Under normal circumstances, the personnel of a royal legion such as the Flame Legion, which has a long history and a strong sense of honor, will not change for a long time, especially for officers at the rank of captain and above, the possibility of transfer is even lower, let alone a general at the level of division commander.
Therefore, the commanders of the five divisions of the Fire Legion, who had lived together for many years, naturally arranged their sizes in order of their respective division numbers; Rodriguez, the commander of the first division, was the eldest, and the next division was in order, and the commander of the fifth division, Sania, was the fifth.
Ospina, who has never had any opinions, suggested in a decent manner: "Second brother, either we will report the news of the upcoming arrival of that Bedouin guy to the boss, or General Bai Feng will also make a decision, let them make a decision." ”
"No, it's too late. As soon as Ospina's words fell, Sania on the side denied: "Bedouin will arrive at us in three days, and it will take at least six days for us to report the news to the nearest boss." ”
"Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and Bedouin, who is not good, will definitely not let us go easily. Eder, who frowned, said helplessly: "The new official took office with three fires, and his first fire burned on us nine times out of ten." ”
"Even if he wants to burn the fire on us, then he has to do that!" Sania, who had an impulsive personality, said in an extremely unkind tone: "We have three divisions and 30,000 elite divisions, I don't believe that he can do anything with a new legion!"
"Without General Bai Feng sitting in Broyangsong Province, and without the boss commanding us, do you think we have enough prestige to persuade the 30,000 soldiers below to join us against the imperial governor personally appointed by His Majesty?"
Ospina's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring a cold water on Sania, whose heart was slightly hot: yes, without Bai Feng's personal sitting, without the prestige of Rodriguez, why did they lead their 30,000 soldiers against Bedouin?
The Fire Legion is a royal legion, a direct legion loyal to the Emperor, Charlemagne is the allegiance of the Fire Legion, and the Marquis of Bedouin is the Imperial Governor appointed by Charlemagne himself.
From the perspective of the ordinary soldiers of the Fire Legion, as long as the Marquis of Bedouin is not their legion leader, and does not directly infringe on their rights and interests, and trample on their dignity and honor, it seems that they have no reason to get along with the Marquis of Bedouin!
"It's really not possible for the soldiers to block the water and cover the earth, so let's respond to all changes with the same. After a long silence, Eder concluded: "If Bedouin does not interfere in our affairs, we will try to live our own lives with him as well as possible." ”
"Let's report to the boss and General Bai Feng, I always feel that Bedouin will not let us go so easily, rather than just sit back and wait, it is better to ask the boss and General Bai Feng for help as soon as possible, they will not sit idly by." ”
Sania's suggestion was approved by Eder and Ospina, and the next morning, it was finally decided to passively deal with Eder and the other three generals of the Marquis of Bedouin, and sent a detachment of messenger cavalry to Baifeng, who was far away on the border of the provinces of Rodriguez and Montan in the province of Toulon.
The development of things was as Bai Feng expected, the Marquis of Bedouin, who spared his life, borrowed troops to dare to come to Brojansson Province to take up his post, and the three generals such as Eder did not have the courage of Rodriguez and Danilo, and they really chose to passively deal with the threat of the Marquis of Bedouin.
In fact, whether it was Bai Feng who personally led a large army stationed on the border of Montan Province, or Rodriguez and Danilo who led an army stationed in Toulon Province, it was impossible for anyone to give reinforcements to the three of Eder in time, and they could only rely on themselves to face the unscrupulous Marquis of Bedouin!
