Gary Gibson is a very intelligent man, and although he is only sixteen years old, he has a lot of experience. He grew up in the court of Anken Rein, saw a lot of infighting and intrigue in the court, and also understood the operation mode of the court. He studied at Elena for two years, and although he was not a believer in communism, he was the top executive who knew most about communism and Elena today. As soon as he returned to Roseville, he proposed the abolition of serfdom, and his political views were in line with the interests of the capitalists and the Elena compradors. At the same time, he did not rule out the shrinking of imperial power or even the transfer to a constitutional form of government. He is the only agent in the eyes of those who are tired of the wars waged by Paul Gibson, who are pessimistic about the outcome of the battle against Elena, and who hope for a peaceful political environment to develop the economy and make profits. Compared with him, his brother, Wenfeng Gibson is much inferior. A prince who is obsessed with painting, even if he has been on the battlefield and has achieved success, is not the spokesperson that the noble council wants.

Because of Elena's soldiers, the coup d'état was very swift and silent, and in the space of one day, unbeknownst to the vast majority of Ankenreins, the empire, which had lasted for more than eight hundred years, ended its own life on such an ordinary day as April 29, 851 A.D.

The newly established constitutional monarchy still had Emperor Gary Gibson as the nominal supreme leader of the country. However, the power of the emperor was greatly curtailed, and almost all of the actual power was given to a ten-member aristocratic council, except for the image of the state and the ceremonial representation. In order to be able to run this even-numbered parliament, Gary Gibson's last real power is that he can cast his own vote in the event of a stalemate in the parliament. Aside from the newly established Council of the Nobles, Ankenrein's political system has not changed much.

On the afternoon of the day when the establishment of the Council of Nobles was signed, the Council of Nobles of Ankenrein held its first meeting and unanimously adopted the decision to abolish Serfdom and make peace with Elena. On the evening of April 29, 851, a large delegation led by Emperor Gary Gibson and Prime Minister Durr Conton was sent to the Great Plains of Narvas to negotiate peace with Elena in person.

"I have to go because I know Gastens. In such a war, he must be with his troops. And only if I go, it will be possible to convince him to end this war. ”

After relinquishing most of the Emperor's power, Gary Gibson replied to the Noble Council's sincere retention, fearing the loss of an obedient spokesman. So, on the first day of becoming emperor, he went to the front with a gesture of praying for peace.

At this time, the Elena Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, which had been charging for a day in Gade Province, had just stopped to camp and rest. On the periphery of the barracks, a lot of ragged lower-class people gradually gathered, and most of them were serfs who were temporarily freed because of the soldiers and the war.

"My lord, do you still need people? Take me away. ”

"My lord, I heard that Elena can give her the status of serf, and she can give one person four acres of land, is it true?"

"My lord, I also want to join the army, please let me join the army."

"My lord, stay, don't go, Gade Province needs you!"

The people surrounding the barracks did not seem to fear war and death. At every opportunity, they would grab all the Elena warriors they could meet and throw out the questions that had been asked countless times. And the fighters who are from the same background as them and understand the true meaning of freedom and equality will also take the trouble to explain and answer over and over again. There are even some companies who, after discussion by the party group of the company, will report directly to the higher party organization and ask for the absorption of these enthusiastic masses. These requests converged from dozens of different channels to the makeshift operational command on this quiet evening.

"The people's hearts are available."

Standing in front of the map that had just been hung, Gastens had a happy face. The rest of the day's march was spent on the march, except for the initial engagement with the remnants of the National Salvation Army that had assembled on the western side of the province after the rout. The province of Gade no longer has the strength to stop them. Or, to be more precise, not a single army in the entire Roswell, west of the Red Leaf Hills, and on the Great Plains of Narvas, dared to challenge Elena's authority.

"Boss, you're amazing! That's what you say, the power of science. Just sixteen giant beasts completely destroyed their will to resist. The enemies we encountered on several occasions did not fight at all, fled in despair, and some even surrendered outright. It's not too comfortable to fight like this. ”

Ivan took a cigarette and leaned heavily on the sand table. The sand table was freshly made, containing a map of the entire eastern part of Anken Rein, and it smelled faintly glued.

"Not quite, we also encountered several cities with strong will to resist, and our soldiers were not allowed to enter to buy food. However, according to the instructions of the leader, we did not move them, and continued our march. ”

Beken Warren, commander of the First Regiment of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, sat beside the sand table, holding a teapot in his hand, and in the teapot were more than a dozen autumn dates, and I don't know where he turned them out.

"It is inevitable that the will of the people will be. More than seven percent of the country's population were serfs, two percent were workers, and only one percent were the ruling class and nobility. And we represent the interests of serfs and workers, we represent the interests of ninety percent of the country's citizens, we have the weapons that even ten percent of the nobility can do, and we have the best and most determined warriors in the world. You say, with such a foundation and such conditions, shouldn't we have a smooth journey today? ”

Gastens may indeed be in a good mood, but he rarely has been so high-profile and cheerful. He took out his long pole and pointed at the map.

"Now, Ankenrein is the only one who can withstand our army, the Guards stationed in Roseville, two legions, 120,000 men. Rather, it was the Eastern Defense Army stationed on the Glacier Line, with a total of six corps, the main force being the original Ronninger army. The Eastern Defense Force will not leave the glacial line unless it is absolutely necessary. And the mission of the Guards was to defend the Imperial City. As long as we don't push Roswell, it's unlikely that they'll move. ”

"Chief, we all understand what it means, the entire Great Plains of Narvas is ours, right?" , Ivan was very arrogant, the war was going well, and everyone was in a good mood.

"Don't be careless, after all, we only have two years of development history, and our enemy is an empire that has experienced more than eight hundred years, and they have far more experience in war than us."

After saying this, Gastens sat down and spoke seriously, "Judging from the reactions of the masses along the way, we Elena still have a high sense of identity in everyone's hearts, which is also inseparable from our continuous publicity in the early stage. Next, as long as Paul Gibson does not fundamentally change the serfdom system in Anken Rein, we will have no opponents in the Great Plains of Narvas, and the people along the way will welcome us, they are our natural allies and allies. We came, not aggression, but liberation, we liberated the serfs, saved the serfs, gave them human identity and the hope of living with dignity. And those nobles are the enemies we want to dictate and destroy. As long as we grasp this point, we will not fail in this eastward expansion! ”

"Momiji Hills, right?"

Ivan once again emphasized their goal. The Momiji Hills are north-south hilly areas east of the Narvas Plain, which divide Ankenrein into east and west, with the eastern part accounting for about one-third of the country's area and the western part accounting for two-thirds. Rosville, the capital of Anken Rein, is located on the east side of the Red Leaf Hills. Therefore, Gastens planned to force Paul Gibson to use the Autumn Leaf Hills as the boundary to determine Elena's sphere of influence in the next stage.

"I'm sorry, guys, but I might have bad news for everyone."

Lifting the curtain and walking in was Zinker Warren, the head of Elena's intelligence work, who also followed the main army to the battlefield this time. He walked up to Gastens, handed him a piece of paper, and began to debrief.

"The latest news from Roswell, this morning's coup at the Grand Palace, Paul Gibson was imprisoned, and Gary Gibson was on the throne. The coup d'état was carried out by the capitalists of the Mage Tower, including Rob Hedland, and seven archdukes, including Denbach Lebrun, Grand Duke of Bronze Shield, and Durree Conton, Grand Duke of Lingyan. ”

The news brought by Zink silenced Command. Everyone was digesting the possible impact of the news, and for a long time, Ivan maintained his usual tradition of being the first to speak.

"In other words, our opponent has changed from that Paul Gibson to that little ghost Gary Gibson? This kid actually became an emperor, it's really amazing! ”

"Yes, he is about the same age as the head, he is younger than the head, and he is already the emperor. Boss, you've finally met someone as powerful as you! ”

Both Bakken Warren and Ivan were still light-hearted, and it seemed that the change of emperor would not affect their offensive. Gastens, on the other hand, remained silent, and he thought for a moment before he looked up and ordered.

"Gary Gibson, that kid, can't be underestimated. Tomorrow we will speed up the march, we will expand the area of control as fast as possible, and I fear that something may happen to Roswell. ”

"Understood, Chief!"

Although he may not have realized where the real threat came from, Ivan obeyed Gastens orders most of the time. He consulted with the two regiment commanders about specific measures to speed up the march, and only then did he remember to ask Gastens why he had given such an order.

"Gary is a very enlightened man, and Anken Rein is not in a position to fight now, in large part because of the disunity between the old and new forces within the country. Now Paul Gibson, the representative of the old forces, was overthrown, and the main forces were weakened in the previous defeats. If Gary can find a way to unite the two forces at this time, then the situation we face will be much more tricky. Although the behemoth is useful, it is not invincible, and we are alone, and most of the warriors are tired and cannot withstand too many accidents. So, get in your pockets and march as soon as possible. At the same time, we need to keep a close eye on Roswell's movements and develop our strategy based on Gary's actions. ”

"Understood, head."

Ivan nodded, and continued to discuss the details with the two legion commanders. Gastens picked up the piece of paper that Zink had sent him and continued his research. In his memory, what kind of surprise could that cunning boy give him?

————————————

In the afternoon of the next day, shortly after leaving Gaed Province and entering Köningg Province, the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants encountered a delegation of negotiating envoys from Ankenrein who were approaching them straight along their marching route. After a short wait and report, Gastens stationed his troops on the spot and set up a temporary tent for them.

"Chairman, I haven't seen you for more than a month, and you are still so wise and powerful. My father has prepared an army of 800,000 for two years, and it has only caused you a little trouble, which is amazing! ”

Gary Gibson greeted Gastens like an old acquaintance, and Gastens looked at the little prince who pretended to be poor two years ago and smiled kindly.

"It's not as good as you, a little guy, now that you're an emperor, it's really amazing. It's just that this temperament is still a little impetuous, you just come over like this, I arrested you, won't there be no emperor in Ankenruiyin again? How bad. ”

"I, the emperor, are really not the emperor I used to be. I don't know if you know, but yesterday we signed the constitution to introduce a constitutional monarchy and abolish serfdom. It can be said that it was my two-year study experience in Elena that made me realize the decadence and ignorance of serfdom and feudal imperialism, and it was your teachings that made me firm in my determination to change this country. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast......"

Gary Gibson is courteous and has an excellent attitude. It's just that several Elena executives present thought of Gastens yesterday's words. What I was afraid of was variables, and it turned out that the variables really came.

"That's good, I'm even happier if you're willing to achieve communism in Ankenrein, come, let's have a good talk."

Gastens patted Gary on the shoulder and poured his own tea. Gary naturally didn't dare, and the two sat down after a little humbleness, already knowing each other's thoughts.

"Teacher, I have come this time in the hope of being able to make peace with you. The war that has just ended has taken a great toll and hurt both for you and for us, and we long for peace, our people for peace, and the whole of Ankenrein longs for peace. I wonder if it is possible for us to sign a peace treaty and end this erroneous war. ”

Gary was still so polite, but what he wanted, not what Gastens wanted. Gastens tapped his index finger on the table and gave his answer.

"It's okay to have a truce, I'm fine. But there are a few issues that must be solved", as he said this, Gastens glanced at Gary Gibson and saw that his expression was calm, and his heart thought of him a little higher.
