Chapter 147: The Horn of the Expedition (Finale)
The impact of the Edo shantytown incident was so bad that at least the Eastern Army was stimulated to raise the battle alarm and offer a huge bounty in the hope of getting any clues about it.
However, the preparations of those guys were indeed very good, and the personnel involved in this matter were either executed or exiled to the Silk Continent.
A few bigwigs even pretended to be crazy and stupid, and expressed their loyalty and apologies to Lorraine, and even betrayed Emperor Tokusho for this.
The hapless former emperor, now Sendai General Tony Roughwood, had to bear the black cauldron with a bewildered face in the betrayal of his colleagues.
Immediately, he was wanted by the Eastern Army in the entire Dongying, and the jumping up and down after him was terrible!
If it weren't for the wandering sword saint Sasaki and his wife who rescued each other for unknown reasons, Lorraine would have been able to get the other party's head and ravage this guy for at least a hundred hours by the way!
With the help of unknown people, Tony Rough Wood and Sasaki went through a lot of hardships and dangers to escape the pursuit of the Eastern Army and bounty hunters, and went to the Silk Continent in search of hope.
"So that's why we lost it?"
"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency...... This is because ......"
"Well, I don't want to hear that...... Let's go down. ”
"Yes......"
Seeing the officer leave in despair, Lorraine touched his temple with some unhappiness, and Alexander, who saw this, once again proposed his plan.
"Anyway, our interests in Dongying can already be guaranteed, why don't we move towards the Silk Continent, on the one hand, see what good things are in that country, and on the other hand, just help you take revenge, right?"
"I think you're trying to find Miss Charlotte, right? Obviously, after coming for so long, I should have understood that the other party could not be in the East! ”
"How can you say that! I went to the wicker temple to ask the master, and he said that my marriage is in the Silk Continent, you have to believe me! ”
"Let's not talk about why you have to go to the temple to ask for a sign as a dead spirit, and you shouldn't go to a witch or a Taoist priest for divination or something!? What kind of marriage do the undead have, you are deceiving yourself! ”
"How can the undead not have marriage and love, do you dare to say this in front of His Majesty Josephine!"
"You don't want to get an inch!"
"What do you want!"
Seeing the two arguing like children, Vivien, one of the three giants of the Eastern Army, had to sigh, close the file and turn around to leave this ghost place.
It's been many days since Lorraine was last attacked, and Vivien has been working almost sleepless for a month to find those daring bastards.
The price is to find countless disobedient waste, and even the Riberians are involved in this conspiracy, for which she has to kill the killers.
Anyway, it's okay to kill these guys casually, so the Jiufeng government won't say half a word about it, just to be able to expand Brittany's interests in Dongying.
The number of criminals spread all the way, from a few hundred at the beginning to 100,000 people, and it would not have been enough to feed them.
However, it was because of these bastards that heavy industries such as steel and mining flourished in Toei, and until now they were barely able to make early Imperial Army rifles.
It was the kind of rags used by the guerrillas of the Kolsalan Peninsula to arm the new Dongying soldiers of the Eastern Army.
As the sweep continued, just as the Jiufeng government wanted to continue to ask the Eastern Army to help them sweep away the rebels in the south, Lorraine had already transferred his command and the Eastern Army under training to the pleasant Bantang Temple military base.
After that, he leisurely soaked in the pure volcanic hot springs with the smell of sulfur (a specialty of Itatangji Temple) and planned to recuperate his spirits, while he remotely transferred the navy from Edo.
After all, on the whole, the war has completely ended, or there is no need for the Eastern Army to continue to fight in person, and the next task is only to restore local order and quell local rebellions.
Presumably, the Edo side will be able to do it, even if the casualties are larger, it doesn't matter much, anyway, Lorraine is not ready to continue to help, because the Eastern Army has other tasks to do.
On a sea of flowers as brilliant as clouds, countless petals are fluttering slowly with the cool mountain breeze, like snow and tide, colorful and gorgeous.
Being in the middle of the sea of flowers, enjoying the sourness brought by the hot springs, as well as the oncoming aroma, it makes people feel as if they are crispy bones, and they just want to sleep.
It was time for the Eastern Army to take a vacation, and there were small groups of officers and men of the legion, who laid a canvas or bamboo mat under the tree, and then put some side dishes, pastries, and sake, and began to drink relatively freely.
After drinking, the big sisters of the military band will even drag the young people they like to play a beautiful "music" in the nearby woods, which is simply enviable.
However, as the bosses of the Eastern Army, the so-called vacation and recuperation is usually just a change to a more comfortable environment, and it is impossible to really ignore official business.
So, while everyone was drinking and partying, Lorraine and her senior officers held a meeting here to discuss the next tasks.
“…… Judging from the current situation, China's interests can only be cultivated slowly, and if we want to make huge profits, we must find new flashpoints. ”
"I agree with that, except that the Commander ...... Are we really heading to the Silk Continent? ”
"That's a must! Don't look at the huge size of the overlord of the Silk Continent, the population is ten times that of my country, but the army with low combat effectiveness and the rotten political system have made them fall into a quagmire, not to mention that there are steppe barbarians like the Batu Empire bullying them! At this time, it was a good time to help in the past, so even if you want to fight, you must prepare a station, right? ”
"You're right!"
"That's right! The admiral led us to the east and west to fight for all defeats, and this time we will definitely succeed! ”
"yes!"
Seeing the unreserved trust of the officers, Lorraine almost wanted to let go and laugh!
He had experienced so many setbacks since Fontainebleau's survival that he almost wondered how he had managed to persevere.
Up to now, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is famous, even his wife is the empress of the empire, and he is an army general but he can command the three armies to fight, and then consider his own achievements, he is simply a legendary general.
"Okay guys, this is another expedition of the Eastern Army, and we must be fully prepared! The navy, land and air force must be adjusted to the best condition, and we don't know how many difficulties await us on the road ahead, but victory must be ours! ”
"Yes! God bless my emperor, for Britannia! ”
"God save my emperor, for Brittana!"
Lorraine's expedition is not over yet, and he will travel all over the East before returning home to the New World, and more stories will await him then.
