Liesel, the de facto administrative center of the Gultoka Empire, is also the de facto capital of the country.

It is a huge city that has been built over hundreds of years.

However, it is very young, and as the capital of a first-class power, it is only more than 300 years old.

The capital of the Gultoka Empire is the city of Gultoka, which is now mainly used as a city of burial for the kings of the Gultoka Empire.

Although the city of Gultoka still shoulders the honor of being the capital of the Gultoka Empire, its geographical location is too remote to be conducive to the needs of the Gultoka Empire's growing territorial management and military mobilization.

So more than 300 years ago, in the year 1604 of the epochal calendar of this world, the reigning king of Gultoka (at that time, the Gultoka Empire was only a medium kingdom. Pethisi III decided to build the administrative center in Liesel.

Although there was no constant motion to move the capital, Liesel became the de facto capital of the Gultoka Empire when the palace construction began in earnest the following year.

The name of the palace was taken from Perissy, the queen of Perissy III at the time.

On November 27, 1934, the reigning Emperor Elianton I of Gultoka sent Crown Prince William to the main gate of the palace to personally greet Zhang Shixin.

For Zhang Shixin, this specification is an honor. It's just that he doesn't have any ideas.

……

"You're Hailey's crush, it's really ...... when you finally show up after so many days" Crown Prince William wanted to continue, but the ceremonial officer next to him coughed lightly.

Zhang Shixin looked at this brother who looked similar to Hailey, and actually felt a little curious about the other party. But this is really not the place to speak, so he took a few entourages - Zhao Feilin, Liu Hu is the guard, Andy is the secretary, and the four of them followed behind Crown Prince William and entered this palace that was not extravagant, but still gave him an elegant and quiet atmosphere.

Originally, under normal circumstances, Zhang Shixin should bring a female companion to be compliant, but Zhang Shixin's appearance here is not a normal situation in itself.

Therefore, Crown Prince William didn't mind that Zhang Shixin walked side by side with him through the red carpet lined with honor guards on both sides and entered the main hall of the palace.

The main hall of the Imperial Palace is the emperor's office, so Zhang Shixin was arranged here this time, which is enough to prove that Elianton I paid attention to it. This is because receiving guests here is itself a state visit specification at the monarchial level.

Although there are several ministers who oppose their own monarch doing such a thing that can be regarded as self-defeating. But Elianton I, who was known for his domineering attitude, stood by his opinion.

Of course, he did this because of the factors of increasing the face of the people he loved, Sun Hailey, but he also had other factors to make this decision.

For example, this young man named Zhang Shixin (compared to ordinary people, a monarch can naturally easily figure out this kind of mistaken title after intentional investigation. It's been almost invincible for half a year. Although the old emperor had already guessed from the other party's behavior of setting up a security company, the other party did not want to join any political group. However, this cannot make the old emperor underestimate Zhang Shixin.

"After all, everyone has their own ambitions. There are many things that cannot be forced. The old emperor, in a casual conversation with his grandson and the future monarch of the empire, said this sentence that made Crown Prince William very puzzled.

Not only that, but he did this as a reward for Zhang Shixin's battle in that mine.

At the same time, he was also very interested in the weapons and equipment in Zhang Shixin's troops.

To sum up, there are many factors for the old emperor to receive Zhang Shixin in this way.

It's just that when the old emperor decided to have an in-depth exchange with the other party, a confirmed news made the old emperor have to end the reception hastily.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is outside." A royal attendant whispered in the old emperor's ear.

"Let him in." The old emperor nodded.

After a while, Zhang Shixin, who was wearing the military uniform of the Elven Dragon Security Company, appeared in this conference room.

The old emperor motioned for him to sit down in an empty seat for the meeting.

After Zhang Shixin was done, everyone continued the meeting.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we should get involved in the war between Grunshire and the Duchy Alliance for the time being. After all, we have ......" Zhang Shixin appeared in the conference room, an old soldier wearing the uniform of the Gultoka Imperial General did not say it too obviously, but everyone present knew very well what the old soldier's unfinished words meant.

Yes, because of Princess Hailey's factor, there was a lot of unpleasant trouble between the Gultoka Empire and the Principality Alliance, and there has always been a rift in the relationship between the two sides.

In a sense, the Gultoka Empire did lose the demeanor of a great country in this regard, but what the old emperor decided, they could only do, it was as simple as that.

"However, if we don't support the Principality Alliance, I'm afraid the Principality Alliance won't be able to support it for long. The kingdom of Capani has just entered the reconstruction, and many things are difficult to convert to the military level for a while. Moreover, I don't think that the Capani Army, which has not recovered, will be able to resist the Glenshire Army. Maybe we're going to send troops directly to the aid of the Principality Alliance. A minister of the Gultoka Empire groaned for a moment and expressed his opinion.

"I am against it, not to mention whether the other side will accept our support or not, and the more important factor is that it will take a long time for our troops to move. If we do need to fight the Glenshire Army, we will need to mobilize far more troops than we will need to conquer the second-rate nation of Highington. And we didn't have a plan for that. In this case, we have lost the first move, and in this case, even if we can mobilize a considerable amount of troops to support, we will not have the time. However, I think our military also needs to be mobilized. But the destination is not the union of principalities, but the kingdom of Capani. A general also voiced his opinion.

……

The old emperor quietly listened to the dispute between his subordinate Wenwu on this issue, and then he glanced at Zhang Shixin, who was pondering, and asked the other party: "Shixin, what thoughts do you have on this issue?" I can talk about it and talk to everyone. ”

Zhang Shixin didn't expect the old emperor to directly call him by the name of a bystander, and after glancing at the people with various complicated expressions and the two ancestors and grandchildren who were smiling at him, he stood up and said, "What all the gentlemen said is very reasonable. However, if the two countries are in an alliance, the Principality Alliance cannot be easily abandoned. ”

Zhang Shixin paused, and then continued: "It is true that a general just now said very clearly, not to mention that the Emperor [***] department does not have enough time to mobilize troops, even if there is this time for us to fully prepare, with the strength of the Principality Alliance, it is difficult to resist the attack of the Grunshire army in this situation. ”

Zhang Shixin shook his head lightly, and then said: "The empire can't save the Duchy Alliance, mainly because there is not enough time. The kingdom also can't save the Duchy Alliance, mainly because it doesn't have the strength to fight the Grunshire army now. ”

The old emperor nodded, and asked Zhang Shixin with a calm expression: "What you said is very reasonable, so what can we do?" ”

"It is unrealistic to expect the Principality Alliance to resist the Glenshire Empire alone, and it is equally unrealistic to expect King Capani[***] to directly confront the Glenschare Army. But ......" Zhang Shixin smiled slightly, and then said: "We can make an effective way to compromise, that is, the alliance of the two countries will use a small number of troops as much as possible to contain the Glen Shire army in the territory of the Duchy Alliance, so as to buy time for the main force of the emperor [***]." ”

"What the hell is this way to do?" Crown Prince William asked curiously.

Zhang Shixin nodded lightly and said, "This method can't be said to be successful, but it's ......"

Zhang Shixin gave a detailed explanation.

King Capani[***]'s Northern Legion went directly into the territory of the Duchy Alliance to assist in the defense, while the focus would be on protecting several cities equipped by ports.

The Gultoka Empire first transported part of its forces by sea to shorten the travel time as much as possible, and then landed directly in those ports, and the landing force consolidated the outer defense line of the port to cover the continuous operation of the follow-up troops.

In addition, the army of the Gultoka Empire in the Hairington area can enter the territory of the Kingdom of Capani along the northern road line, fill the gap after the northern legion of the king [***] enters the Duchy Alliance, and form a second line of defense with the southeastern legion of the king [***] in the southern area of the alliance between the Kingdom of Kapani and the principality. The rest of the Gultokati [***] troops are in a state of mobilization at any time.

"Well, that's a good plan, but what should we do if the Principality Alliance can't even hold those ports when reinforcements arrive?" The old emperor pondered for a while and said a big question.

"Storming the port area is something we can't afford to lose. The mechanized forces of the Glen Char [***] are not something that the Duchy coalition can resist, nor can the Kingdom of Capani. So we have to create a new battlefield outside of the territory of the two countries. Trade space for time. Zhang Shixin said a solution that was not a solution.

After the old emperor pondered for a while, he asked the opinions of some of his cultural relics again, and then made a policy of military action.

The Gultoka Empire was to send two newly formed mechanized armored divisions for landing transport by sea.

Negotiate with the Kingdom of Kapani on arrangements for troop movements.

Other units in the country have stepped up their equipment replacement programmes and are ready to be redeployed.

Crown Prince William oversaw the production of the domestic military industry.

……

This was the meeting that was officially ignited by what would later be called the "Continental War", but unlike the officially declassified agreement, the Elven Dragon Security Company would join the first batch of maritime troops......

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................

"Are you leaving again?" In a garden of Pellis's Palace, Hailey, who was dressed in a costume, looked at Zhang Shixin beside her a little lonely.

"yes, I'm sorry, I'm leaving again after sending you home. It's good that your family is very kind to me. Zhang Shixin remembered that he would set off again tomorrow, and felt that he was really working hard, but he still comforted Hailey.

"Of course, my grandfather and brother were the best for me. Speaking of which...... I don't know when you'll come back when you went out this time, maybe Sister Liya has given birth......" Hailey's words made Zhang Shixin blush.

"This ...... That one...... Well? What did you say? Zhang Shixin only thought of a very serious problem at this time......

He didn't hear from that.

"What about lying to you......" Hailey didn't finish speaking, and kissed Zhang Shixin's lips......

"Hmm......"

Under the hazy moonlight, Zhang Shixin was unfortunately "pushed back......

……

"This kid ...... Really. Forget it, I don't want to hear something unpleasant, you know? The old emperor, who was looking at a book in the study, glanced at the attendants who came in, and said this lightly.

The old emperor had no intention of stopping his love for his grandson.

After the attendant left the study, the old emperor closed the book, then walked to the shelf to find a dictionary and flipped through it gently......

……

When he set off the next day, Zhang Shixin glanced at Crown Prince William, who was full of ambiguity, and knew that his affairs were known by the other party.

"You know something?"

"Everything that should be known is known, and what should not be known is ......"

"For example, ......?"

"For example, I should have known that I really should have called you brother-in-law, and I shouldn't have known...... Looks like someone sneaked out of Hayley's room this morning or something. ”

“……”

"Don't die so easily on the battlefield, my brother-in-law."

Of course......

Zhang Shixin did not speak, but nodded firmly.

ps: The 6,000 words I said are gone, I'm sorry, but I'm really tired today, and I ran for an afternoon to get documents from various institutions, and I'll make it up when I have time. Excuse me.
