CHAPTER 86 VI
Due to the information provided by Mokadu, Li Tianhao urgently convened a meeting of senior cadres, and among the senior cadres of the Dils Army, except for Pokel, who was sent to the port of Arisianta to guard, Jimda and Shevuda went to Port Maranster to rectify military affairs, Senas and Eglius were all present in Port Portsmo, and even Viscountess Tia, a member of the staff group who had not appeared for a long time, also attended the meeting. The matter is very simple, since the remnants of the Yaki royal family are still alive and have been protected by the king of Arubania, then what measures Palci should take next is directly related to the future direction of national politics, military and other aspects.
After Li Tianhao announced the news to everyone, everyone's reaction was almost the same shock, no one thought that the Yaji royal family would have such a fish as Gilmus, but everyone had their own opinions on the countermeasures that should be taken.
The chief general, the Marquis of Gurnas, was the first to stand up and express his opinion, this fifty-five-year-old veteran has been older than the average person since he was young, although he has not yet entered the ranks of old age, but he already looks like a seventy-year-old man, but his sonorous voice always reminds those around him of his actual age. Gernas's point of view is very clear, since Yaki has lost all his land, and Yaji's generals have all died, then Gilmus and Zelda, who are attached to Arubania, have no strength even if they have great ability, and more importantly, Gilmus is only a six-year-old child, and Gernas, as a long-established general, is really not interested in persecuting a young child.
When he said this, Zaran and Dara agreed. Although Zaran used to have a strong sense of competition with Gernas, years of working together made him clearly aware of the skills of the veteran Gurnas, and he became revered by the veteran; The malevolent Dara was a loyal lieutenant to Gernas from the beginning, and the three of them formed an iron triangle in the Dils army.
Hector took a different view, arguing that Gilmus was not a cause for concern. King Dikar II of Arubania who really posed a threat. According to past information, this is an ambitious fellow, and his self-esteem tends to exceed the boundaries of calm thinking, as evidenced by his unscrupulous alliance with his old enemy Yaki and his unauthorized attack on the Golden Court stronghold. Since he had promised asylum to Gilmus, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not interfere in the internal affairs of Palci in the name of Prince Gilmus. In any case, this is a very suitable excuse, and even if Palci has no intention of resuming a conflict with him, he cannot but be vigilant against possible hostilities. Hector's view was supported by Jamo
It is different from Hector's view of vigilance. Tatar, on the other hand, believes that we should not be in a passive and defensive posture, but should take proactive action. Even if Dikar had agreed to shelter Gilmus, Palci should still actively negotiate and solemnly demand the surrender of Gilmus, and if Arubania insisted on going his own way, he would not rule out the possibility of using force to solve the problem. At present, Gilmus is indeed fledgling, but because of this, his importance to Arubania is not so significant, and in the face of the huge losses of the war and an insignificant, former nemesis, Prince Gilmus of Yaqui, Arubania should not be so persistent. As soon as Tatar finished speaking, Agobar. The three generals, Wode and Zukar, applauded loudly.
Li Tianhao quietly listened to the opinions of the three with his head supported by his left hand, and his brain continued to rotate at a high speed: the trio of Gurnas were generals from General Yaki, and they more or less complained about their approach to getting rid of the Yaki royal family, so they were not active in continuing the crusade against Gilmus; Agobar, Word, and Zukar were born in Nubia, and the Nubian mercenaries they led lost their value if they lost the chance to go to war, so they were very keen to go to war. In contrast, Hector's advice is more modest. It was also in Jamo's interest, as his intelligence network had not yet taken shape. The progress of intelligence work in a rash war is bound to be hindered. But why are Tatars so keen to go to war? Perhaps it was to make up for the mistake of being calculated by Libera to let Gilmus slip away in his hands.
The attitude of the generals was generally clear, although Chikirda did not speak, but he generally did not disobey the wishes of the main general, Hector, and Aram did not even need to ask, and Senas, Eglius, and Gimda, who were not present at the meeting, were almost certainly in favor of the war. Take Bodeka. The wishes of the ministers led by Lysius can also be roughly deduced, and they all hope to restore their national strength as soon as possible, and they are naturally reluctant to go to war. What Li Tianhao wants to know most at the moment is the attitude of the staff group, but Tia is now his wife and concubine, and she refuses to say much; Elaine must have unconditionally supported her husband Mueller. But Muller seems to have a debt to Zelda and has not been positive; As the chief of staff, Wei Song was putting on a complacent expression at the moment, closing his eyes and recuperating; Brooks, the second chief of staff, glanced around with a distracted gaze to avoid making eye contact with himself, it seemed that neither of them wanted to reveal their intentions too soon, and they were waiting for their opinions to be heard.
Thinking of this, Li Tianhao cleared his throat, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.
"Your Excellency has your own opinions, each with your own opinions. I think that Palci has just finished the war with Yaqui, and it is a time when it is necessary to recuperate and regain its national strength, and it is obviously unwise to start another war immediately, but Gilmus cannot be allowed to grow in peace. At present, the remnants of the old aristocracy of Yaqui are still moving around, and if the news of Gilmus's existence is spread, it will undoubtedly have a great encouraging effect on these people, which we cannot ignore. So the diplomatic representations that Tatar said seem to be necessary, although I personally do not think that the negotiations will be successful. ”
At this time, Brooks, who had been like a fugue, finally spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince means to make a meaningless diplomatic negotiation?" ”
Li Tianhao smiled at him, it seemed that Brooks had understood his intentions. But he had to explain the mystery to the others: "Yes. We have to make painstaking, useless diplomatic representations. We must offer conditions that will make Dikar II feel good in exchange for Prince Gilmus's weight, so that we don't have to go to war with Arubania at once, and we will have the opportunity to develop and accumulate strength; But we can't be too soft, we have to beat them up from time to time, so that Dicard feels that he can't profit from the delaying tactics, and keeping him at both ends of the ladder can limit Gilmus's growth to the maximum. This is a difficult errand, and I hope that the Marquis of Brooks will come forward to carry it out. ”
"Yes, the subordinate obeys." Brooks saluted.
Li Tianhao glanced at Wei Song who was sitting next to him, but Wei Song shook his head slightly. Apparently he blamed himself for the fact that this decision was an outright compromise strategy, and although it sounded very favorable on the surface, it was in fact a measure that combined the opinions of the three factions.
Li Tianhao continued: "Lord Yamo, Lord Mokadu obeys the order. While Lord Brooks begins to negotiate, the news of Gilmus's life must leak out in due course, and at the same time, you must mobilize all your forces to prepare for the remnants of the sub-base to be wiped out and keep our country safe when they are ready to move! ”
"Yes!" The two responded in unison.
"You're so bad, boss." Alam said with a smile.
"Why don't I transfer you too, so that you don't have to be idle?" Li Tianhao immediately fought back. At this time, he glanced in Wei Song's direction by the way, and saw that the corners of Wei Song's mouth were slightly upward, and Li Tianhao understood that his actions were not quite in line with Uncle Shi's intentions, at least they were not too bad.
