"Chapter 7: Mutual Temptation"

In order to achieve transcendent achievements in civilization and culture, human beings have to have free will, and they have to cut off their ties with other wild animals. This is the paradise that man has lost, and it is also the price that man has to pay for civilization. Our yearning for paradise is nothing more than our attachment to this broken thread, a semi-perceptual attachment.

The three generals, Cavani, Tevez, and Renard, who were only senior wing captains in the Imperial Army, maintained due respect when facing their new commander, Bai Feng;

Louis and Di Maria, who did not go out of the city to greet him as a sign of respect, and did not come to tonight's meeting, were temporarily blacklisted by Bai Feng;

As the commander of the army, Bai Feng must have inviolable majesty in order to convince the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command;

Previously, when Bai Feng handed over the six standing regiments under his command to Duke Gna, he deliberately transferred a group of capable middle and senior officers to stay with him, and these middle and senior officers were Bai Feng's confidence and trump card in charge of the five standing regiments in Besançon Province.

Of course, this was only the first day of Bai Feng's arrival in the capital of Besançon Province, and he had just received three standing legions, so he would not immediately take action against the standing legions under his command, and only when the five legions were under his command would he officially start his control plan.

After the meeting in the conference room lasted for two hours, Cavani and the other three legion commanders returned to the barracks under Bai Feng's orders, and then it was time for Bai Feng to communicate privately with the Marquis of Besançon.

"Brother Bai Feng, everything I can do has been done tonight, and the remaining Commander Louis of the Fourteenth Legion and Captain Di Maria of the Sixteenth Legion will have to be subdued by yourself; ”

"Brother Besançon, General Louis and General Di Maria, I will handle it properly, but compared to the attitude of these two generals, I care more about your attitude, brother, will you choose to be on my side?"

Bai Feng, who dealt with the Marquis of Besançon for the first time, did not talk directly to the other party about the matter, but cautiously spoke tentatively; as for whether the Marquis of Besançon could hear the tentative meaning in his words, it was not something that Bai Feng could know.

"Brother Bai Feng, what are you talking about?" Marquis Besançon, who pretended not to understand, deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "You are the supreme commander of all the armies in our Besançon Province, how can I not support you? I will not only support you, but also do my best to support you!"

As soon as Marquis Besançon's stupid words came out, Bai Feng knew that he understood what he meant, so he directly led the topic in a sensitive direction: "Brother Besançon, you are also a person who served as a corps commander in the Imperial Army, what do you think of the Imperial Military Department?"

"What is it? The Imperial Military Department is the imperial military institution of His Majesty the Emperor to manage the imperial army, and the weapons, equipment, and military salaries of each imperial soldier are provided by them; it is not only the most important department to ensure the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, but also the center of the overall planning and mobilization of the imperial army. ”

"But as far as I know, Brother Besançon, the reason why you stepped down from the position of commander of the army six years ago was because of the malicious framing of the Imperial Military Department, and for such an Imperial organization, do you really think that they are the department that guarantees the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army?"

Hearing Bai Feng suddenly mention his past, the Marquis of Besançon, whose face flashed with surprise, did not ask Bai Feng why he knew about it;

"Brother Bai Feng, these old things have passed, and I can't remember them clearly, so I should not mention them again, I think what you should be most concerned about now is how to solve the problem of Louis and Di Maria's disobedience as soon as possible. ”

"The disobedience of Captain Louis and Captain Di Maria may seem difficult to solve, but in fact it is not a difficult task at all, and if they really don't know each other, then I don't mind showing them the difference between the Royal Legion and the Standing Legion. ”

Looking at Bai Feng, who was a little overconfident, Marquis Besançon, who was worried in his heart, couldn't help but speak out for the sake of internal stability: "Brother Bai Feng, Louis and Di Maria are both senior commanders in the Imperial Army, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do anything to them." ”

"What if they are senior commanders in the Imperial Army, I don't care if they are not under my command, as long as they are under my command for a day, they must meticulously carry out my orders, or I will make them regret coming into this world!"

Half a month ago, after the Marquis of Besançon learned that Bai Feng would lead his army to his province, he deliberately spent a lot of time and energy to understand Bai Feng, especially Bai Feng's performance in the Eastern Battlefield.

From the commander of the Seventh Wing of the Fortieth Army to the commander of the Fourth Route Army of the Imperial Eastern Garrison, in just over half a year, Bai Feng has done what most imperial generals cannot do in their lifetime;

According to Marquis Besançon's own meticulous statistics, there were at least 150,000 orc warriors who died in Bai Feng's hands! Among them, there were more than 10,000 wolf cavalry of the Orc Empire, which were almost invincible in cavalry!

Are the cavalry of the 13 Grassland Divisions powerful? The cavalry of the steppe tribes living on horseback is naturally extremely powerful; the cavalry units that the empire has painstakingly assembled have never defeated the grassland cavalry in the same number, and this is the gap!

But the steppe cavalry is no match for the wolf cavalry, this is the common knowledge that even children on the mainland know, and the infantry is difficult to resist the cavalry charge, this is the common sense of marching and fighting, and only the cavalry and large-scale hoplites can cope with the cavalry group charge.

Marquis Besançon, who had an in-depth understanding of Bai Feng's achievements, knew that the law of the battlefield that infantry could not defeat cavalry had in fact been broken by Bai Feng; no one thought that Bai Feng would be able to use infantry to resist the charge of the wolf cavalry head-on and defeat the invincible wolf cavalry in land battle.

In view of his understanding of Bai Feng's achievements in the Eastern Battlefield, the Marquis of Besançon did not doubt Bai Feng's murderous intentions against Louis and Di Maria, but Bai Feng's fierce attitude made the Marquis of Besançon, who was tentative, hesitate.

The Marquis of Besançon, who had a shocking secret hidden in his heart, also regarded Bai Feng as a potential ally that he could win over, and when Bai Feng repeatedly tried to test him, why wasn't he testing Bai Feng by pretending to be stupid?

After careful consideration, Marquis Besançon, who decided to continue the temptation, expressed his support to Bai Feng with a clear attitude: "Brother Bai Feng, I believe that everything you do is to defend the interests of the empire, no matter what decision you make, I will support you unconditionally!"
