Chapter 697: Evil is born to the side of the guts
The capital of the Empire.
The bustling city of Immortal was considered the safest place in the world before the rise of Vega, and the Three Powers proudly proclaimed to the world that no one could breach their capital and force them to start the Colossus of War.
The subjects of the Immortal City were once proud of this phrase.
But this is no longer the case.
When the kingdom was raging in the north, Vega was rising strongly, the Holy Dragon Kingdom was fierce, and the rebels took advantage of the situation, no one dared to re-mention this sentence, because everyone understood that the empire was no longer the empire it once was.
Recently.
The Three Powers Summit was held again and again, the guards of the imperial capital were doubled, and the long-dusted Colossus of War was also overhauled, and the place has officially entered a state of combat readiness.
Imperial Chambers.
The Tri-Power Summit has been held again, and this is the eighth meeting held this month.
This meeting was initiated by the Imperial War Department, mainly to report the latest battle situation to the three parties, and it required the final decision of the other two decision-makers, because at this point, the Empire really can't afford to delay.
"Allow me to report back to you. ”
The Führer stood up and said in a loud voice: "Now that the Western countries are supporting the rebels, the rebels are growing in strength, and they have occupied the entire northwest territory dominated by the city of war, and have secretly reached an agreement with Vega Saint Laurent of the Jialan Empire to begin to advance to the center, and the goal is undoubtedly the Immortal City." ”
"Also. ”
The Imperial Führer took the document and continued to read: "The 500,000 Imperial Army under the command of Hausman in the eastern part of the Empire has been defeated, the city of Elkia has fallen, and the Jialan army has driven its troops outside the city of Xelantu, and with our speed, there is no time to rescue, and the military department has made a countermeasure to abandon the city of Xelantu to delay time, and at the same time build a defensive line on the central periphery. ”
"Now. ”
The head of the empire looked at them and said, "There is an opinion that needs to be agreed with you, the speaker of the council, and the chief judge, and since this opinion concerns not only military power, but also other aspects, it must be explained to you. ”
The Führer looked around.
He paused for a long time before he uttered this deliberate countermeasure: "The empire has become a mess, and if it continues like this, what awaits us is the destruction of the Holy Dynasty and the Kingdom, so I think it is imperative to 'Annei' and destroy the rebels first." If this thorn in the eye is not removed, we will not be able to have a stable development environment. ”
"Is there a solution for the Führer?"
The Speaker's eyes looked at the Führer and asked.
The Führer nodded and said, "I do have some plans for how to get rid of the rebels, but these plans require the cooperation of the people in the regime. Next, I ask you to publicly apologize to your subjects, and at the same time reduce the tax burden, and compensate you with tax exemption for two years. ”
"It's difficult, but I can say yes. ”
"Second. ”
The Führer continued: "The three of us must resign in order to appease the anger of the civilian population, and at the same time issue an announcement to the rebel soldiers that the trial system can clear their guilt if they are willing to quit the rebels." ”
The Speaker and the Presiding Judge looked at each other and nodded at each other.
Of course they know how to play this trick, so the chief judge nodded and said, "I know what to do." ”
As long as the first step and the second step are combined with each other.
Then the rebels will not want to expand their power, and even lose a large number of troops.
Because the rebels were only pushed up because the empire did not care about the lives of civilians, the three powers did nothing, and increased taxes and oppressed the bottom, and now the empire took the initiative to apologize and compensate with the tax burden and the resignation of the three powers, I believe that the public anger can be calmed down soon.
"Finally. ”
The Führer made a final request: "Our military department intends to negotiate peace with the Jialan Empire, and use Foster's withdrawal to return the entire eastern region of the empire, mainly the city of Elkia, so please speak freely." ”
"This must not be promised!"
An official said angrily: "I don't think we have reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the city of Xelantu has not yet fallen, the 200,000 defenders of Major General Voskoro Darnay can still hold on for a while, as long as the three powers bow their heads to the people and admit their mistakes, it is entirely possible for us to suppress the rebels before the fall of Xelantu." ”
"What if we can't wait until then?"
A general snorted: "The main force in the east is lost, how long can the 200,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people be able to hold back? What's more, the attacker is still Vega Saint Laurent, and its speed will inevitably go to a higher level, and when the time comes to enter the central part, who will guarantee the safety of the national capital." ”
"It's your military's business. ”
The official did not fall into the slightest wind: "What's more, the army of several million in the central part can't stop 300,000 people?"
"You probably forgot the battle between the allied forces against the Jialan Empire more than a month ago, right?"
"That's just ......"
"It's just what? The arms of the allied forces are not comparable to the Empire. ”
The general hit the nail on the head: "When it comes to a real war, all the armies of the empire together are not necessarily the opponents of the coalition of all countries, but the sum of the entire Western armed forces, and the empire is not arrogant enough to dare to confront the coalition forces of more than 20 Western countries." ”
"That's what I said, but ah......"
One of the inquisitors made a round: "I think this matter can be put aside for a while, and after the fall of the city of Xelantu, it is not too late to negotiate peace with Vega Saint Laurent, maybe the rebels will really be destroyed during this period?"
"Seconded. "Seconded. "Seconded. ”
Everyone agreed: "I also don't think there is a need to rush this matter, and it is completely possible to act on the spot." ”
However, as soon as this opinion was agreed, a soldier broke in, bringing with him an latest battle report that everyone had not reacted to for a long time-
Major General Voscolo Darnay, who had high hopes and intended to drag down Vega, not only surrendered to the Jialan Army, but also rebelled against the entire army's 200,000 soldiers and officers, and turned back to serve as the vanguard of the Jialan Empire, and even used his identity to easily deceive a secondary strategic point on the central periphery - the Red Leaf Fortress.
The Red Leaf Fortress is the first line of defense for the Jialan Army in the central part of the country.
Although this line of defense is inconsequential and only serves as an early warning, it also means that the gate of the central part of the empire has been breached, and the Jialan army can push the battle line from the east to the central core.
The rabbit is anxious and bites.
When Voskoro Darnay learned that he had been abandoned by the Empire as a pawn to delay Vega, how could he not be angry, and with Haussmann's experience, he did not hesitate to make the most daring idea of his life - to turn against him.
