A few days later, the imperial capital.

"According to the battle reports from the front, the armies of the foreign nations in the West have invaded the territory of the empire, and Lieutenant General Jeremy Karchas, who is guarding the fortress of Changge, is leading the army to resist, but those desert people are obviously prepared, and the situation is not optimistic."

"At the same time, the Eastern Anning Dao also instigated a large number of congregants to launch an armed rebellion, and Vice Admiral Isidor Adonis led an army to suppress it, although it was only a mob, but the generals in charge of the command also seemed to be well versed in the art of war, and the naval officers were not good at land warfare, so the suppression effect was not ideal, and the current situation of the war was mired......"

Inside the main hall, the damage caused by civil strife more than a month ago has been repaired, and it is a fairly old building, taking advantage of this opportunity, the architect also added some modern aesthetic elements according to Jolly's suggestion when starting the construction, although there are not many changes, but the overall impression has changed abruptly, and there is a feeling that everything has been completely renewed.

It was the time of the court meeting, and the current minister, Jolly, was at the head of the courtiers, and was reporting the recent battle situation to the little emperor sitting on the throne with a solemn face.

The emaciated body was as straight as an old poplar tree, which made the old man in his sixties look particularly tough, but there was a faint look of exhaustion in his eyes under the gray eyebrows, which clearly showed that he had not rested well these days.

Although he had a premonition of the coming of war, when the day finally came, Jolly still felt caught off guard.

Time was too short, the empire was still in the beginning of its revival, and the overall national strength had not even recovered a third of its heyday, and he did not want to see a large-scale war under such circumstances.

Having said that, the real situation is not as bad as imagined, at least it is still much more optimistic than it was during the tyranny of Minister Earnest.

After all, the real military power is here, with Bud, Javier, and Estes, the three "strongest in the empire", sitting in the town, just like the three optimus pillars standing in the center of the empire, no matter how tragic the war is, I believe that the past can be overcome.

Therefore, the most worrying issue now is not the result of the war, but the consumption of domestic demand and military destruction brought about by the war.

Every war is a devastation, no joke, and the power of man-made disasters is no less powerful than natural disasters, which will undoubtedly make the post-war reconstruction of the empire even more difficult.

On the other side of the queue of civil officials in the main hall, about five meters away, there were more than a dozen soldiers in military uniforms, and the lowest military rank of these people was the rank of 10,000 cavalry commanders, and none of them were idle people.

Except for some old faces that everyone is familiar with, the rest of the people were all promoted by exception after the civil strife in the imperial capital, and they were all people who had been strictly screened and had real talents and hard work.

Because in consideration of the upcoming battle, Joli specially informed them as early as yesterday that these military attaches would come to the DPRK the next day, probably to directly assign tasks in the court meeting, and then go to different fronts to support.

Bude, Javier, and Estes were all present, and Arrowan also stood in the back row in an orderly manner, listening to Jolly's analysis of the current war situation, after all, it was a matter of war, and it was the life and death of thousands of people at every turn, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

After listening carefully to Joli's report, the little emperor also realized the seriousness of the situation, and his little face suddenly tensed, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered some of the things that Jolly had said to him: as an emperor, he is an example of his courtiers, no matter what kind of crisis he faces, he must be calm and calm, and actively seek solutions to problems.

Trying his best to run his brain, the little emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Whether it is the Western alien nation or the peaceful dao, their actions are provoking the majesty of the empire, so these riots must be quelled as quickly as possible in order to deter other juniors and let them know the fate of angering the empire." ”

He paused for a moment, as if to organize his words, and added: "Therefore, I think that this task of quelling the rebellion can be entrusted to the two generals, Javier and Estes, both of whom are brave and brave in the three armies, and who are also proficient in strategy, and have the experience of participating in many wars, and will definitely be able to do it...... What do Zhong Aiqing think? ”

After speaking, the little emperor looked at the ministers below with some apprehension, in terms of governing the country, he has always relied on the opinions of others, like this, he put forward his own opinions with his own will or the first time the eldest girl was in the sedan chair, and he was not sure if he had said anything wrong.

Such a change is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for him, and it is also the result of deep reflection after experiencing many things, but in any case, this is a development that many courtiers are happy to see.

The hall was quiet for a few seconds, followed by voices of recognition and admiration, and some old ministers sighed at the change of the little emperor, and felt that they saw the hope of the future of the empire, and they couldn't help but burst into tears.

Bude, who had been closing his eyes like a sleeping sculpture, also opened his eyes at this time, and a smile of relief slowly appeared on his resolute face, which was as cold as iron.

"Your Majesty has indeed grown, compared to before, it is completely different, if the first emperor has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely be happy about it......"

"It's all thanks to Mr. Jolly, if someone else had taught His Majesty, I'm afraid it wouldn't have had such a significant effect." Javier lamented.

"It's a little better than before, and it should be that Earnest incident has stimulated him a lot." Estes smiled, "But I think the little kid I used to be a little cuter than I am now." ”

Javier glanced at her, shook his head and said, "No one will never grow up, depending on the life experience, sooner or later, no one can escape." ”

"Sooner or later, once ignorant children will understand that the gentle world is just an illusion, the real world is not beautiful, more cruelty and struggle, they must know all this, and then face it, otherwise they will not be able to live."

At this time, Jolly raised his hand to suppress the chaotic voices of the ministers, and said, "There is nothing wrong with Your Majesty's thoughts, this is indeed the safest solution...... In addition, although the dormant revolutionary army in the southeast has not moved for the time being, it is still a potential huge threat, but since there is a great general sitting in the imperial capital, even if these thieves have any small moves, there is no need to worry. ”

After receiving Jolly's affirmation, the little emperor looked very excited, and said happily: "General Javier, and Estes, are you willing to accept the task of going out on this expedition to defeat the traitors?" ”

Havel took a step forward, clenched his fists and said firmly: "It is incumbent on me to present the head of the rebel leader to Your Majesty!" ”

"Leave it to me, Your Majesty."

Estes also bowed slightly, a smile of expectation on his face in the shadows, and a strange flame seemed to burn in his ice-blue eyes.

Since she suppressed the rebellion of the alien peoples in the north, she has not set foot on the battlefield for a long time, and it is a rare opportunity to naturally exercise her muscles and bones, but I hope that this time the enemy can have some ability, if it is not a powerful and dangerous prey, it is not enough for her to feel happy.

"Your Majesty, regarding the assignment of tasks, the old minister thinks that General Havel can be responsible for suppressing the mob in Anning Dao, and General Estes will lead the army to support the Changge Fortress and crusade against the foreign peoples in the West, in addition to this, army logistics is also an important issue......"

With Joly's speech, the meeting was still going on in an orderly manner, and after deciding on the general direction of the strategy, all that remained was the discussion of some specific issues, after all, the connection of each war was extremely cumbersome, weapons and armaments, food and fodder, horses and chariots, medical aid, ...... Any one of them will cost a huge amount of military funds, and even if the national strength of the entire country is used as a backup support, it will inevitably hurt the muscles and bones, and naturally it is negligent.

In this process, many civil ministers and military generals also spoke enthusiastically, seriously put forward their own views and opinions, and showed great enthusiasm, which made the atmosphere in the hall become active for a while.

Javier didn't get involved, just stood by and listened silently and observed.

It's really changed...... Whether it is the emperor or the current court, there is no longer the lifeless and muddy feeling of before.

What is presented in front of him is a pleasant vitality and vitality, as if after a long dark night, finally ushered in the newborn sunrise, the golden glow instantly drove away all the gloom, but also made his heart can't help but overflow with joy and hope.

None of the efforts have been in vain, but could there be anything more exciting? Such success also brought him more courage and determination, so that he could continue to adhere to and implement the belief in his heart in the days to come.

The war is about to begin.

However, a bright future is also at hand.
