Chapter 838: Shortcuts
That same evening.
Vega invited two naval officers to the banquet.
Since it was a private dinner, there was no fanfare, and there was only Vega and two Imperial Navy soldiers at the entire table.
Although the dinner party looked simple, it really moved the two of them.
Because the person sitting in front of them is the king of the first power in the continent, such a noble existence actually invited them to dinner, if this is placed in the empire, it will not mean that the head of state has received them.
No!
With the status of the other party, maybe it is even more noble than the head of the empire.
If you are invited to dinner by such a person in normal times, it is enough to go down in the history of the family and make future generations proud, and the two sincerely feel that the previous surrender may be the most right thing to do in this life.
Dingββ
At Vega's invitation, the trio toasted together.
After three rounds of drinking, Vega said to the two: "This time, we were able to successfully take Gil City and ensure that the information was not leaked, thanks to the help given by the two of them." For the merits of the two of them, I, Vega Saint Laurent, will not forget. But now that the war is not over yet, I can only temporarily give you the rewards of first-class citizens and army colonels of Jialan Country, and after the war is over, I will reward you again for your meritorious deeds, and I believe that I will not disappoint you. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty. β
Kaga and the captain immediately stood up and saluted Vega, "We are very satisfied with Your Majesty's reward. β
This is true.
As a captain of the Imperial Navy, jumping five levels in a row to become the real power of the Jialan Country, and this is just an appetizer, there is naturally nothing to dissatisfaction with.
Most importantly.
They heard that the Jialan Kingdom had already obtained three-fifths of the empire's territory, and the Imperial Army was beaten and shrunk in the middle of the city and did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle.
So can the gold content of the imperial officers be compared with the gold content of the officers of the Jialan Kingdom?
Categorically no.
As for whether Jialan can break through to the middle?
Others may not know about this, but don't they know it?
This navy is driving here, and the Imperial army is unaware of it, then the final answer is already very obvious.
"Please don't be polite. β
Vega saw that the two of them were a little nervous, so he beckoned them to sit down and said, "Do you have any other requests besides these? β
"Your Majesty, I want to serve on the front line!"
At this time, Kaga suddenly pleaded with Vega.
"Kaja, are you crazy?!"
Before Vega could speak, the captain hurriedly stopped: "Stupid, what are you doing at this time? The things you get are enough for you to be superior to others and live happily for a lifetime." β
"Captain, I'm only twenty-one years old! I don't want to stop there, I want to take my last name back!"
Kaga asked Vega again, "Please give your Majesty a chance, and I will prove my strength to you." β
"Very well, I look forward to seeing you again. β
Vega instructed the adjutant: "I remember that there is still a vacancy in an independent reinforced regiment of the 37th Division? β
"Thank you, Your Majesty. β
Kaga stood up again excitedly and saluted.
The captain on the other side, Chiwo, subconsciously took out a cigarette, and then suddenly realized that this was in front of Vega, so he quickly took it back, and then looked like he wanted to say something.
Vega saw this.
So he motioned to the captain Chiwo and said, "Your Excellency Chiwo doesn't need to be restrained, if you want to smoke, please feel free." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty. β
Chiwo was moved by the respect that Vega gave him, but in the end he did not take out a cigarette, but said solemnly: "Your Majesty, as a nobody, an imperial traitor, I know that I am not qualified to meddle and ask about your battle plan, let alone the right to give you advice, but there are some things I still want to say. β
"Please speak. β
Vega made a look of anticipation and didn't put pressure on Chiwo.
Chiwo opened his mouth, he wanted to speak, but he was a little lacking in confidence.
Lived for forty years.
Chiwo, who is already an old fritter, knows what to say and what not to say.
As a nobody, especially an officer who has just taken refuge in the Jialan Kingdom, he understands that he has not yet gained the trust of everyone, and he understands that he has intervened without permission and asked the battle plan of the Jialan Army's high-level officials, this kind of ignorance is definitely the biggest taboo, and will even be disgusted by the high-ranking and the king.
Originally, he planned to stop there, and then eat and wait for death.
But Kaga's actions gave him courage, and he decided to risk taboo to ask about the plan and say his advice.
"Your Majesty. β
Captain Chiwo finally made up his mind: "Are you ready to march from the northeast and launch a sneak attack on the Imperial Shield Sila City in two days?"
"Your Excellency should know that it is impossible for me to reveal the core plans of our army without authorization. Vega's words were a little cold.
It's over.
Captain Chiwo's head went blank.
As an old fritter, I knew that I shouldn't say these words, but I still couldn't hold back.
Can't get it right...... This is to be put to death.
However, Vega's next sentence turned around: "But if it's the two, it's not that it can't be revealed." As Your Excellency said, we are indeed intending to attack the city of Silla in the northeast. β
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty. β
Chiwo felt his heart almost jump out of his chest.
He calmed down and continued: "To be honest, there is a shortcut road due east that can directly reach Xierla City in one day, and that road is originally for the fresh aquatic products of Jir City to be transported to Xierla City faster, funded by major merchants, and only caravans are allowed to pass, and it has only been opened up for a short time, so only some locals know about it." β
"Is this true?!"
Vega's face was a little excited.
If everything is as Chiwo says, and there is a way to reach the city of Silla in one day, then Vega can be sure that the enemy scouts will not even be able to react and attack the city directly.
That's what it means.
There is no need to pay huge casualties, and the success rate of this plan will be increased from 60 percent to 90 percent.
This piece of information is too important for Vega.
He was deeply glad that he had specially invited the two of them and gave them enough respect.
Otherwise, the two of them were only afraid of some risks, and did not dare to tell this information, perhaps in their opinion, there is basically not much difference between one more day and one less day, after all, rashly asking about the core plan, but there is a risk of being executed.
"Your Excellency Chiwo, after the matter is completed, I will personally confer the title of Brigadier General on you!"
Vega gave Chiwo a great advantage, and the clear reward and punishment made the nearby Caga even more sure that he was in the right place.
And in the case of getting this piece of critical information.
There was no longer a need for Haussmann to attract the attention of the Imperial Army head-on and share his pressure. Because in just one day, the Imperial Army was unable to respond at all, so Vega directly did not wait for the time agreed with Haussman, and began to move first.
