"Chapter 4: The Refugee Problem"
It's not what you are born with, it's how you make the most of what you have.
– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)
"Bai Feng, don't think that you are the imperial marquis personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and there are 200,000 soldiers in your hands, I will be afraid of you! Let me tell you, there is no high or low in love, if you want to take away Sophia's new, you must ...... Ahh
Bai Feng and Sophia, who walked into the barracks holding hands, had not yet reached Duke Kleist's military tent, when a young general wearing a blue wing commander's armor jumped out and shouted and provoked Bai Feng next to Sophia with a long sword.
Without waiting for Bai Feng, whose face was full of black lines, and Sophia, who was on the verge of going berserk, to make a move, Marquis Robert, who appeared in time, shot the young general in the head, and with a scream, the unlucky young general was knocked unconscious by Marquis Robert on the spot.
"General Bai Feng and Miss Sophia, this is an unsuccessful wing captain of our Storm Legion, and he usually acts recklessly, as the leader of the Storm Legion, I apologize to the two of you for his reckless behavior just now, and I hope you don't take it to heart. ”
Bai Feng, who didn't know the marquis in front of him very well, knew the name of the Storm Legion like thunder, and the only people in the Imperial Army who could not wear white military uniforms were the soldiers of the four royal legions, and now there was an additional Yulin Legion wearing dark red military uniforms.
The blue uniform is the symbol of the Storm Legion, if Bai Feng didn't know that the co-captain just now was from the Storm Legion, maybe he would have beaten him away as soon as Bai Feng appeared;
"Marquis Robert, I think this young man is a good Imperial soldier...... Hiss...... "As soon as he said this, Bai Feng felt a sharp pain in his waist, and there was no doubt that this was a 'good thing' done by Sophia, who was smiling beside him.
Bai Feng, who endured the pain in his lower back, continued: "Everyone is a young man with strong blood, and there is nothing wrong with having the courage to fight for his love, since I choose to pursue Sophia, then I will be ready to deal with my rival." ”
Speaking of this, Bai Feng deliberately paused slightly, turned his head sideways to look at Sophia, who was secretly annoyed, and said with affection: "Who made our Sophia so good?, but as her boyfriend, I will definitely defeat everyone who dares to pursue her!"
"Haha, okay! This is what a pure master should say!" Marquis Robert, who had nothing to do with Bai Feng before, laughed and invited Bai Feng: "If you have time to be a guest of my Storm Legion, I will invite you to drink!"
"As long as Your Excellency the Marquis doesn't bother me!"
After smiling at each other again, Marquis Robert asked his own soldiers behind him to drag the stunned captain to turn around and leave, while Bai Feng walked towards Duke Kleist's tent with Sophia, who was smiling between his eyebrows.
Bai Feng's domineering and tender words just now made Sophia's originally smooth heartbeat become rapid, a woman in love is like this, she will always be moved by the sweet words of her sweetheart, this may be love.
After entering Duke Kleist's tent, Sophia still held Bai Feng's arm unabashedly, and Duke Kleist, who ignored this, just smiled and asked his soldiers to bring in some food, and then the three of them had dinner together.
"Sophia, Bai Feng and I have something to talk about tonight, so you should go back and rest early. As soon as the soldiers outside the military tent packed up the food, Duke Kleist asked Sophia to go back first, and Sophia, who was dissatisfied, had to wink at Bai Feng helplessly before leaving.
After Sophia walked out of the military tent, Duke Kleist smiled and quipped to Bai Feng: "Sure enough, it's a big girl! My granddaughter has been with me for almost twenty years, and now even the heart of the person is on you, it's really sad!"
"This ...... Sophia is your granddaughter, and I believe that even if she marries in the future, she will still be filial to you. ”
"Haha, you kid can talk!" After laughing, Duke Kleist, whose face returned to normal, changed his tone and said in a serious tone: "Bai Feng, what do you think of the recent influx of refugees into Nice Province?"
"The county of Kogorin, where our Fourth Route Army is located, has been flooded with about 300,000 refugees for a month in a row, and the total number of refugees in the entire province of Nice will definitely not be less than one million! ”
"It's more than a burden!" the sighing Duke of Kleist stood up and pointed to the map in the military tent and continued: "The total number of refugees in the province of Nice is as high as 1.4 million, and it should be deliberately driven by the orc army to sabotage our counteroffensive plan. ”
"Judging from the current situation in Nice Province, the strategy of the orc army has indeed succeeded, and the food in Nice Province was originally the military food transported by the Imperial Military Department, but now it has to be taken out to help the refugees, how can our army counterattack without food?"
Bai Feng's slightly resentful words surprised Duke Kleist, who was originally full of confidence in him, and the surprised Duke Kleist directly went straight to the point: "Bai Feng, can't even you deal with our current predicament?"
"Of course I have a way to solve the current refugee problem!" Bai Feng was destined to say silently in his heart, because his method was to move grain from the warehouses of Rome City, which was not a feasible solution.
"Teacher, this is the commander of the orc army, and he has laid us a near-insoluble dead end: the total population of the five provinces that have fallen is more than 10 million, and they are all citizens of the empire, and we, as soldiers of the empire, will never be able to see them die without saving them.
However, to save these refugees who have lost their homes, it is necessary to divert the food and supplies of our army, which means that we must allocate most of the limited food supplies sent by the Imperial Military Department to the refugees, and our counteroffensive will have to be abandoned without enough food and supplies. ”
"Our four-way army, with a total strength of more than 800,000 troops, plus the hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of Duke Rundstede, the empire's troops stationed in the province of Nice have reached nearly one million! Could it be that our million-strong army just sits idly by and watches the orcs ravage our homeland?"
Facing Duke Kleist's annoyance, Bai Feng's heart was also depressed, and anyone who was suppressed by the orcs all the time would be very depressed. Even so, Bai Feng, as a junior, had to comfort the old and grumpy Duke Kleist.
"Teacher, it's not that we don't want to counterattack immediately, it's that we really don't have the conditions to send troops to counterattack; if there are enough food and supplies for the 200,000 troops to go out for three months, I am willing to personally lead the Fourth Route Army to launch a counterattack immediately! However, we don't have this condition. ”
"The food and materials needed for the 200,000 army for three months?, launch a counteroffensive immediately?" Duke Kleist, who was in front of him, asked in an eager tone, "Bai Feng, if I provide you with the food and materials you requested, do you dare to lead the army to counterattack alone?"
"Of course!" Bai Feng, who realized that something was wrong, first agreed without hesitation, and then added: "However, I still need Duke Gna to promise me two conditions; as long as Duke Gna agrees to me, I can lead the army to counterattack alone." ”
"Okay! No matter what conditions you propose, I can promise you!"
Looking at Duke Gna who came out from behind the military tent, and Duke Rundstead, Duke Albert, and Duke Reinhardt who followed him, Bai Feng, who really wanted to curse, had to reluctantly admit that the longest road he had traveled was Duke Kleist's routine!
