Chapter 320: Marshal
The originally noisy council hall became audible in an instant after Cameron XI appeared, and Cameron slowly walked towards the throne, which symbolized supreme power, in the eyes of everyone.
"See my emperor!" Everyone stood up from their seats and bowed down, and in the Tammy Empire, they would only bow down when they made a serious mistake or were criminals, and under normal circumstances, they bowed down when they saw the emperor.
Cameron pressed his hand, and all the nobles and ministers sat down one by one, and then Cameron XI looked at the fourteen thrones to the west of the council hall.
One of the leaders understood, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if we continue to adhere to the scientific and technological barriers, it is still impossible for our warships to continue to be replenished in the Domon Star Domain, but the domestic material organization has been completed, and it will take more than twenty days for nine thousand transport ships full of supplies to reach Sinar Star." ”
Some of the equipment in the main battleship of the Tammy Empire is extremely delicate, if it is in peacetime, it only needs to be maintained once every six months, but once the war starts, these equipment must be maintained at least once a month. However, in order to maintain their technological superiority over the third-level civilization, the three presiding nations have signed an agreement called the "Science and Technology Barrier Agreement", which means that they cannot provide scientific and technological support to the third-level civilization in any form.
In this way, many parts that need to be replaced can only be produced domestically, and the Domon Star Domain is more than 10,000 light years away from the Tammy Empire, and the logistical supply pressure can be imagined. Although most of these equipment do not affect the combat effectiveness of the battleship very much, once damaged, it will be extremely troublesome for the operation of the battleship. It will increase the workload of the operators, which is undoubtedly the result of the current demoralized coalition forces due to the defeat of the three major subjects.
Those equipment are still minor problems, but the life of the main gun barrel of the battleship is a big problem. The barrel life of the main guns of the capital ships of the Tammy Empire is generally between 8,000 and 12,000 shellings. It can complete more than five major battles, and once the barrel is nearing the end of its life, it must be returned to Hong Kong for repairs, or a bulky barrel can be shipped from China for replacement. (The gun barrel of the capital ship of the Tammy Empire is a huge triangular head, with a volume of about 100 cubic meters) This is also one of the reasons why expeditions are extremely challenging for both Level 3 and Level 4 civilizations.
"Prime Minister, it is said that the O-13 zombie virus in the Domon Star Domain has completely spread, and now it is difficult for the fleet to even supply fresh water and food nearby, is there such a thing?" At this moment, an old man in the aristocratic table suddenly stood up and looked directly at the authority of the head of the fourteen ministers.
"I think you should ask the High Command about this. The Domon Star Field has been taken over by the military, so I can't intervene. The Prime Minister glanced at him and said.
"Hmph, nonsense. There are only a dozen planets in the Domon Star Domain that have been infected, and most of them are safe, how can such unfounded rumors appear? At this time, Langtesmig, who was sitting in the seat of the sixth marshal, suddenly rebuked angrily.
"A dozen planets? How did I hear that it was hundreds of colonies? It is said that even the Jakarin Star Field has an epidemic now! Then another nobleman stood up and spoke.
"Nonsense! Who told you it was hundreds of planets? Lang Tesmig trembled with anger, although the virus epidemic in the Domon Star Domain was not as simple as he said, it was not so serious. The people who spread such rumors should really be pulled and shot.
"It seems that there is no real news from the high command. Now that even the Jakarin Star Domain has an epidemic, is it still far from our Sitya Star Field? ”
"If only a dozen colonies are infected, how can they spread to the Jakarin Field? The people in the high command are really full of lies. ”
"There is a Dokaren Star Domain between the Jakarin Star Domain and our Sitya Star Field, so we won't have an outbreak here, right?"
"It is said that this virus is beyond the reach of our medical experts, and millions of our Tammy Empire marines are still infected on the planet Sinard, and they are still zombies wandering around unconsciously......"
The nobles immediately chattered and talked like a vegetable market, and the Prime Minister suddenly woke up when he saw that His Majesty Cameron XI's face was getting more and more ugly, and hurriedly roared: "Silence! Quiet! ”
These nobles had a transcendent position in the Empire, so much so that they dared to question the Prime Minister, the Ministers, and the Six Marshals. But they have not yet reached the point where they are not afraid of heaven and earth, so they all gradually quieted down after hearing the voice of the prime minister and minister.
"Langtes MiG. Can the current allied forces continue to fight? Seeing that the situation had gradually been brought under control, Cameron asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, as long as another marshal is sent to suppress the formation, plus the supplies that will arrive together in 20 days, you can continue to participate in the war." Although he knew that the war was now in trouble, the military was embarrassed this time, and if he compromised at this time, those nobles would inevitably suppress the military for various reasons.
Although Langtesmig was also a nobleman, he was not the same as the founding nobles, and most of the nobles in the army chose to remain silent when the emperors weakened the power of the founding nobles, so the founding nobles did not treat them as people, although their interests were the same in many places.
This all stems from the loyalty of the people and soldiers to the Cameron family, and the nobles in charge of the army are especially aware of this, so they are very consciously on His Majesty's side when they stand in line, so the contradiction between the military nobles and the founding nobles also appears. Up to now, the military aristocrats who could not see the situation clearly were basically cleared out by the emperor, and they were replaced by the so-called new faction, that is, civilian officers without titles.
However, because these civilian officers replaced the military nobles who were against the emperor, the military was still able to tolerate it, and Cameron did not continue to touch the bottom line of the military nobles and clean up the army indiscriminately, so the two sides can continue to maintain a balance to this day. But Cameron and the marshals are well aware that once one side wants to upset the balance, then an even more fierce confrontation will be on the horizon.
"Another marshal? Who to send? Cameron looked at the six marshal's seats, which originally had six seats, but now only two people sat in them.
Among the six marshals, Ko Missa is still confronting Empress Kairigan of the Zerg in the Luoyun Star Domain, Seymour was captured in the Domon Star Domain, Calis was killed by Kai Ruigan's compression nuclear bomb, and Andrea, who is the oldest in qualification, has been saying that he is sick at home, so now only two marshals are still in the seat, one is Langtes MiG, and the other is Abicodian, who has not been in good health.
That is to say, if you want to be in charge, it is also Langtes Mig to go, and it is impossible for Abicodian and Andrea's bodies to support them to go on an expedition, but Langtesmig knows very well in his heart that it is impossible to win this battle, and he has to take the initiative to take command when he knows that it is impossible to win
Originally, he just said it, after all, this time the military was embarrassed, so the nobles must take the opportunity to suppress it, he didn't want to admit defeat verbally, otherwise he would leave a handle for the nobles, so he slapped his face and became fat. Cameron also knew very well in his heart that this battle could not be fought, but what he didn't expect was that Cameron actually asked a marshal to go to the expedition according to his words, so he could only choose to remain silent at this time.
"What, don't you speak? Who was clamoring to hit the capital of the Great Chu Empire in the first place? Who is clamoring to capture the Lord alive? Why are you all dumb now? Cameron roared angrily, his old face was hideous, and he looked particularly frightening, and all the nobles and ministers were silent.
"Langtesmig, can you go and take command?" Cameron asked.
Marshal Langtesmig lowered his head after hearing this, a mysterious Great Chu Empire had made their two marshals lose their fame in less than a year, and he didn't want to be the third.
Cameron's eyes looked at Marshal Abicodian again, and Abicodian was more direct, his right hand trembled and trembled, his eyes were crooked and foaming, and he was taken away by the medical staff after a burst of roosters and dogs, which made Cameron irritable.
"Waste, it's all waste, the Tammy Empire can't find anyone who is willing to take command of the expedition." Cameron said angrily.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to share your Majesty's worries!" At that moment, two young officers suddenly stood up.
"Oh, it turned out to be you, it seems that my Tammy Empire still has loyal ministers, in this case, I will make the two of you marshals, and go to the front line after the canonization ceremony tomorrow." Cameron said with a squint.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two were overjoyed, but the ministers and nobles blew up their nests, and the rank of marshal could be canonized so casually? Cameron's brain isn't broken, is it? Soon some nobles shouted, but his end was very tragic, he was directly deprived of his position and title by Cameron, and was dismissed as a commoner, and the originally chaotic nobles and ministers were silenced again, and they all looked at the stunned nobleman with sympathy: "Old Cameron has a problem with his brain now, and you are unlucky if you provoke him." ”
Then the nobles and ministers thought about it again, the war on the front line was eroded like this, and if they were sent to death, even if they didn't die and came back from defeat, they could still take them down, and after thinking about the key to it, they gradually stopped.
However, the entire council chamber is not without people who understand, except for Cameron.
"Old Cameron is going to do something to the nobles, he stuffed two marshals in one breath, the ghost knows what the background of these two officers sitting in the noble seats is, there are many people who have lost their children and grandchildren in the founding of the 1,700 nobles, and most of their titles are designated by His Majesty to inherit, their position can be imagined, old Cameron is simply pretending to be crazy and stupid."
