Chapter 567: Fishing in Troubled Waters (2)

"Cecia, I've seen the information on the Heidelberg area, it's very detailed, and the intelligence agencies are doing a solid job in this area. However, I am not very satisfied, but I hope that you can help me analyze the current situation according to your own judgment, so that I can make an intuitive and accurate judgment. "Hathaway didn't talk to Cecia. Hughes is polite and gets straight to the point.

Cecia. Hughes was shocked when he heard Hathaway's words, it seems that the lord is afraid that he has some ideas to come out, every time the lord wants to make a big move, there will be such a similar language, she has experience.

"My lord, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask, I know everything."

"Well, you've been in Heidelberg for a while, and the intelligence officers over there should also have a fairly well-established network, and I would like to know that at the moment in Heidelberg and even in the southern part of the entire empire, the rebels ...... I mean, what is the actual situation of the Confederation of Southern Will in this region? Aside from the relationship with the old aristocratic world in this region, what is the relationship between the various principalities and families? Is their relationship as close as we think? And those families who followed the rebellion, did they have any contradictions with the five principalities? Do they contradict each other? ”

Hathaway's series of questions had apparently been carefully considered, and she was convinced that every seemingly monolithic whole could not be as perfect as it seemed.

At the beginning, the rebels raised troops, although the Bell family was the leader, but there were four major families and some small families who jointly advocated the rebellion. After the capture of Heidelberg, the rebels began to divide the fruits of victory. The Five Duchies were formed. But it is impossible for every aristocratic family to be qualified to establish a state, it is impossible to be completely fair, and those families who participated in the rebellion but did not get more benefits will not be satisfied, and these are the opportunities that Hathaway said.

Cecia. Hughes gasped, it seemed that her lordship would never want to be quiet, and from these few words alone, she could hear that she was probably going to fight the Southern Will Federation again. Although the rebels were very brave, in Cecia. In Hughes's eyes, as long as he is targeted by the lord, he is afraid that he will only have the share of planting roots.

"Your Excellency. Heidelberg is now the capital of the so-called Duchy of Bell. Although there is still a large number of aristocratic life in the city. But these nobles have no rights at all, they are just raised by honor......"

"Those nobles who followed the five great families to raise troops also obtained the same wealth, but of course there is a huge difference compared to the five great families. Complaints are inevitable......"

Cecia. Hughes groaned for a moment. He seems to be carefully searching for the material about the Confederation of Southern Will in his mind. The rebels are quite tightly controlled in this regard. It is quite difficult for ordinary people to get into it and get to know the core insider. They can only judge the relationship between these rebel families through their daily actions. It took a lot of time and energy to come to such a conclusion just by his own words, and now the lord has made it clear that he wants to find a breakthrough in the rebel army, and the contradiction between the rebel families is the most important.

"Your Excellency. Although there are contradictions among the rebels because of the distribution of interests, it may not be easy for them to attack each other, at least with the bullet pressure of the five great families, it is impossible to fight. "Cecia. Hughes pondered for a while before pouring cold water on Hathaway.

"No, I'm not asking for conflict between the rebels, I just want to make their internal actions less coordinated. I mean, due to the current institutional problems of the Southern Will Federation, the families below have a certain degree of autonomy, if it is possible to arrange some external incentives to induce them to act alone for their own selfish interests, then maybe we may be able to break the current deadlock, which is quite operational value for us. ”

Hathaway shook her head, she knew Cecia. Hughes has not fully understood what he means, he does not expect internal strife within the southern will, it is certainly unrealistic, he just hopes to induce a certain family under his command to violate the principle previously established by the rebels, that is, the principle of temporarily not intervening in the affairs of other parts of the Ostiga Empire, if he can do this and cause the entire Otiga situation to be destabilized, his goal will be achieved.

Cecia. Hughes raised his quizzing gaze.

"I mean, among the rebels, the five great families are dominant, but the other noble families also have quite strong power, and the benefits obtained are far less than those of the five great families, is there such a phenomenon?"

Cecia. Hughes's eyes lit up, "Lord Lord, I understand what you mean, you mean that you want to divide and disintegrate the united front of the rebels and let them go their own way?" ”

"It's not important to go your own way, it's important that the rebels are involved in the battle, and we have a chance only if they are involved, and now the rebels seem to be very restrained, and I hope they can break it." Hathaway patiently explained.

"Hmm, I see, you want to let the rebels act on their own because of profits, and break the current deadlock in the empire?" Cecia. Hughes nodded excitedly, "It's not impossible, because there is a contradiction between the rebels in the distribution of land and property among ordinary civilians, especially after entering the Heidelberg area, this contradiction has always existed, some nobles hope to be able to go east to Bukharin, or west to Atlanta to grab more wealth, but they have not been able to win enough support, but the middle and lower ranks of the rebels have a high voice, especially in Bukhalin and the border area is very easy for their wolf light cavalry to break through, The desire is strong. ”

"Oh?" Hathaway's spirit suddenly came, "You mean the rebels' internal discipline restricts their movements?" ”

"Well, it should be like this, there are wise men in the upper echelons of the rebels, they are not short-sighted, so they will maintain restraint, but the middle and lower ranks and a few high-level people still hope to be able to grab benefits through the usual means, but this idea is suppressed." Cecia. Hughes is well aware of this. The wolf clan has always been fierce, and it is indeed difficult for them to settle down and live that quiet and ordinary life.

"If so, then this is our chance." Hathaway's eyes narrowed.

"My lord, what do you need us to do?" Cecia. Hughes didn't want to think about it anymore, she felt a little out of Hathaway's thoughts.

"Keep an eye on the movements of the rebels, especially the middle and small nobles who are very dissatisfied with the current situation, and adopt some tactics to provide them with information about Bukhalin and Atlanta, and you can control the specific means yourself...... What I mean by this is that you can connect with those merchants and appear as merchants. Those small and medium-sized nobles were encouraged to attack Bukhalin and Atlanta. Merchants can wash them away from their sins by taking stolen goods. ”

Hathaway smiled slightly, "I believe that as long as these rebels taste the sweetness, they will break through their so-called discipline, and no one can withstand this kind of profiteering." ”

Cecia. Hughes gasped and admired Hathaway's vicious and vicious methods, and he had to do whatever it took to be a lord. Becoming big things is not informal. Bukharin and Atland are already thorns in the flesh. Extraordinary measures are necessary to eradicate them, and killing people with a knife is undoubtedly one of the best ways.

"My lord, I'm afraid this will require my father's support and cooperation." Cecia. Hughes said cautiously.

"I'll arrange it. How can there be a free lunch in the world, and the benefits are evenly distributed, which is reasonable. Hathaway said.

The situation of the Otiga Empire, which had just entered the late autumn season, was turbulent again, and the army of the Southern Will Federation was like a bear that had just hibernated, awakened by hunger again, and once again showed its sharp claws, as if to vent all the pent-up depression before, and frantically launched a ferocious offensive towards the surrounding area.

The cavalry of the rebels came like a tidal wave, and the few isolated strongholds and fortresses in the south of Bukhalin could not stop at all, and the cavalry of the rebels had no intention of attacking at all, they just frantically rushed from town to town, and they had no other idea than looting, from grain to livestock, from cloth to iron, from gold and silver to books...... They took everything they could, but the rebels were much more rational and restrained than ever, and they generally stopped killing and burning unless they met with strong resistance, they simply plundered, plundered everything they thought was valuable.

The situation of Atlanta was not much better than that of Bukharin, they also suffered from the impact of large-scale outward attacks, the rebels frequently sacked the western part of Atlanta, they relied on their numerical superiority to press forward step by step, once they found the presence of the Knights of Atlanta, they called hoplites to join the battle, and used delaying tactics to drag the seriously undernumbered Atlantan elite forces into one battlefield, and then sent other troops to take advantage of the opportunity to loot towns and villages...... Whether it was a town or a village, whether it was a wealthy merchant or a poor farmer, they spared no one, and this looting was also met with resolute resistance from the local people of Atlanta, but in the case of the absolute superiority of the rebels' forces, this resistance appeared to be under-emboldened, and its effect was quite limited.

The sudden outbreak of the rebels made Bukharin. Atlanta was in turmoil, and the rumors that the rebels would once again march north and west to completely destroy the Ordgar Empire were loud, even in Maple Dew and Pierce Castle. Although the rebels seem to be more moderate towards these people in the south, it does not mean that they will continue to attack in this selective manner, and the rebels who taste the sweetness may do anything, and this is unanimously agreed by all.

"Well done Cecia, I'm going to give you a big credit!"

Hathaway smiled happily, facing the turbulent situation of the entire Otiga Empire, she looked like a savior, constantly accusing the Grand Duke of Erabeni and Fernando of provoking the war internally and betraying the interests of the people against the rebels, completely ignoring the safety of life and property of the people in the border area.

At the same time, Hathaway frequently pressured Maple Dew and Piercesburg, asking Dietrich and Caesar to punish the two archdukes, Erabeni and Fernando, asking them to counterattack the rebels' attacks and defend the reputation of the Otiga Empire and the rights and interests of the people, and said that as long as Bukharin and Fernando agreed, she could unconditionally send her own troops to help Bukharin and Atlant resist the rebels.

"My lord, I didn't do anything, it all depends on your arrangement." Cecia. Hughes's face was also beaming.

"Well, we can't be careless, but thankfully there's any special reaction within the Federation?"

"Not yet, I can't help but admit that those businessmen's methods are quite clever, they have used a lot of human resources, and it is difficult to find out anything after a few transfers."

"Well, the rebels are not stupid, they will also analyze and judge, but we just need time now, as long as this pressure continues, then public opinion will overwhelm them, lose public opinion, and Erabeni and Fernando will not be able to sit still; If they're going to fight back against the rebels, we're glad to see that happen, and whatever the outcome is, it's good for us. ”

"My lord, what should we do now?" Cecia. Hughes said thoughtfully, she is now gradually learning to adapt to Hathaway's thinking, this lord's ideas are often unexpected but logical, and she also needs to find a good way to think according to the other person's way of thinking.

I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
