Chapter 402: Fabre's Suggestion
"Your Excellency, do you have any good candidates to recommend?"
The Prime Minister asked.
"Capra keeper Moros is the most suitable candidate. β
Campbell frowned, making a thoughtful look, and it took a long time for his eyes to light up and remember someone.
"Tell me your reasoning. β
The prime minister fiddled with the gemstone ring on his finger, noncommittal.
"There are three advantages to transferring Moros to Valen Pass to replace Bernard: first, Moros has already expressed his allegiance to His Majesty, and there is no problem in loyalty; second, although Capra Pass and Valen Pass are thousands of miles apart, and the command of the two armies is completely independent, they both belong to the Northern Army system, but the defenders of Valen have more strongholds and are more powerful, and we often ignore the Capra Pass defenders when we call them Northern Corps. Therefore, Moros was transferred to Valen Pass to replace Bernard, as a general who also belonged to the Northern Army system, the Northern Army was also more likely to accept this result; Third, Moros also served in Valen Pass, and later transferred to Capra Pass, he still had some old acquaintances who remained in Valen Pass, and the existence of these people would also make it easier for him to take over the Northern Army. β
General Campbell explained clearly.
"If Moros is transferred to Valen Pass, who will take over the position of guard at Capra Pass?"
The Prime Minister looked up.
"Can be replaced by his deputy. β
Campbell thought for a while before replying cautiously. After saying that, he made a casual appearance, but he was actually very nervous in his heart, and eagerly hoped that the prime minister would agree, but to his disappointment, the prime minister just nodded:
"I'll reply to you when I think about it. β
The prime minister did not make his statement clear, he asked Campbell to be sent away, and immediately called Fabre and AndrΓ© to ask two people who knew more about the military to help him with his ideas.
"In that case, Moros is the best candidate. β
After listening to the Prime Minister's description, Fabre pondered for a moment and felt that there was indeed no one more suitable to be the commander of the Northern Army than Moros.
"No, no, absolutely not. β
Andre was arranging a hunt for Bernard when he was called, and as soon as he heard the candidate recommended by Campbell, he immediately shook his head in denial.
As for the Campbell family's influence and influence in the army, Andre has already done his homework after joining the Guard. He knew very well that Capra's guard Moros was a relative of the Campbell family, which was somewhat similar to himself, and he could rise through the ranks of women through the relationship of women. Moros's choice to pledge allegiance to the new monarch after the coup was also influenced by Campbell. If he is put in charge of the Northern Army, and his deputy takes over the Capra Pass, then the Campbell family directly and indirectly controls the three major legions of the Southwest Army, the Northern Army and the Northern Army Capra Pass Defenders, and the overall strength exceeds the Central South Army and the Guards Army under the control of the Phelps family, plus Campbell himself is the minister of the military department, then the entire Yuss army has become the Kanjia Army, which is absolutely unacceptable.
"Grandpa, you have to think carefully, we can't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, let alone defeat Bernard and erect an even more powerful Campbell. β
Andrei recounted his concerns, and finally added.
"So what now? Even if Bernard is dead, the Northern Army must always be commanded, and Bernard's lieutenant can't be replaced, right?"
Andrei's words made the prime minister anxious.
"Fabre, do you have the right person?"
The prime minister turned around and asked Fabre again, but Fabre also shook his head again and again, not because he didn't want to recommend, but because the people around him were not enough in terms of qualifications and prestige.
"What do you say?"
The prime minister asked Andrei. Andrei is also scratching his head, the Northern Legion is strong, but it is not a good errand to lead it, not to mention the wind and rain all year round, and he has to fight against the powerful orc legion, and sacrifice his life for the country at any time.
"My lord, I have come up with a solution. β
The three of them were relatively speechless for a while, and Fabre's heart suddenly moved.
"You say. β
"The plan to transfer Moros to Valen Pass remains unchanged, but the guard of Capra Pass cannot let his deputy take over. β
"And who's going to take over?"
"General George!"
Fabre pointed at Andre.
"Me?"
Andrei was taken aback, then waved his hand again and again to refuse.
"The Guards can't do without me now!"
He is now in the imperial capital, and he doesn't want to leave this gentle township to endure hardships.
"To be in charge of an army does not necessarily have to be a general?"
"What do you mean?"
Both the Prime Minister and Andre heard what Fabre was saying, so they asked at the same time.
"You can also get the army to come over. β
Fabre smiled mysteriously before continuing:
"It's simple. We brought back all the defenders of Capra Pass and incorporated them into the Guards, so that the general could take command. β
"What about the defense of Capra Pass?"
"Give it to the ancient city of Oku-ko-bang. β
"Give it to the ancient city of Oku-gu-state?"
The prime minister groaned, a little hesitant in his heart. It seemed like the best of both worlds, solving the problems of the Northern Army without benefiting the Campbells too much. But the effect is to change the tradition of the Yuss people guarding the border.
Can you rest assured that the Capra Pass will be handed over to the ancient city of Okugu? The prime minister is a little unsure.
"Grandpa, this is a good solution. Isn't Alan Kanter claiming to be taking the nomads back to the grasslands, and we're going to give him a chance now to see if he can resist the orcs. β
Andrei is naturally strongly supportive, if he really transfers all the 50,000 defenders of Capra Pass back to his command, plus the existing Guards, then he will be the commander of the largest legion in the Yus Empire, and the total strength can reach more than 120,000, which is enough to compete with the Northern Legion on the surface.
"Wait, I'll go and go back. β
The prime minister still couldn't make up his mind, so he turned around and went into the backyard of the official residence. Cardinal Raphael lived here to preside over the Templar manhunt for the Grand Prince and Fama Kos, who had been in the north to prevent the Grand Prince from making contact with the Northern Legion, but had so far found nothing. If the whereabouts of the Grand Prince are still not found after the New Year, Raphael is ready to send more griffon knights over, and even the south will be included in the scope of the search.
"Lord Bishop, if we hand over Capra Pass to the ancient city of Ogu, once the orcs come, the Godsacs will not surrender again without a fight and let history repeat itself, right?"
Having met with Raphael, the prime minister shared Fabre's advice and his own concerns.
"Now that the army of the ancient city of Okushi is all in the hands of Alan Kantor, as far as I know him, he was not afraid of my Holy See when he was alone in the Guangming Square of Triumph City, and today he is powerful and strong, even in the face of the army of orcs, he should not do anything to surrender without a fight. β
Although Raphael had only had one formal deal with Allen, his judgment was very accurate.
"So the Bishop also supports Fabre's approach?"
'Fabre did a good job. For the time being, we will hand over the Capra Pass to the ancient city state of Oku, or we can use the hands of the orcs to consume their strength, and when the situation in Yus is completely calmed, we will form a coalition army, and even the ancient city of Oku-gu will take the orcs to clean it up. I'm afraid Alan Kante won't want it. β
"Since the Bishop said so, I am relieved. I'm going to send someone to the old city of Auger to talk to Alan Kanter about this. β
The Prime Minister finally made up his mind and called the Minister of War Campbell again and asked him to carry out his orders immediately. Negotiations on the transfer of Moros to Valen Pass and Capra Pass are advancing simultaneously.
