"That's what he said?" Charlemagne leaned back on the back of the throne and the armrests, and asked with a somewhat incredulous expression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"That's true. On that day, Henry Ward was in the main hall of the palace, and asked the ministers to convey these words in front of all the ministers. Logan bowed and replied respectfully, at this time, it was already three months after he was scolded by the ministers in the palace hall, he had returned to the territory of the Western Empire, and was reporting to Charlemagne on the main hall of the former brown imperial palace in Shingon City on the Eastern Continent in the past few years, and at this time, this report had come to an end.

Charlemagne fell silent, looking a little embarrassed, and after a long time, he calmed down and turned to his teacher Shangguan Zhige:

"Teacher, Henry has always been a guy who does what he says, since he refuses to give up the city of Litro, then presumably war will break out soon, we must prepare as soon as possible."

Shangguan Zhige nodded: "We have stationed 300,000 troops on the front line of Shingon City, and if there are police in Litro City, we can go east to reinforce at any time." In addition, the old man suggested that another 100,000 elite troops be mobilized to garrison the city of Litro and strengthen the garrison of the city as much as possible. ā€

Charlemagne thought for a while, frowned and said: "If we are facing other enemies, plus the original 20,000 defenders of Litro City, this total of 420,000 defensive troops should be very sufficient, but in the face of Henry's Central Empire army, it still seems to be a little less, and it should only last about two months at most, which is not enough time to pacify those remnants of the Holy See in the north." ā€

At this time, Duke Sean Stirling, who was sitting at the bottom, interjected, and he said with some embarrassment: "But Your Majesty, we can't draw more troops!" According to the plan, the 1.5 million troops of the Northern Group Army were to counterattack China mainland by land after the remnants of the Holy See were eliminated, and they could not move, nor could the 100,000 guards of the imperial capital of Kevin City and the 300,000 troops who had repeatedly guarded the rotten bones. ā€

"That's a tricky question!" Charlemagne said with a wry smile, and then he turned his gaze to his wife, Empress Taxia, "My dear, it seems that I am going to bother you with your horse." ā€

Empress Taxia nodded slightly, the 300,000 standing army of the Western Governor's Mansion of the original brown empire has always been in her hands, Charlie has not moved, at this time the Western Empire is in trouble, who else can stand up except her?

"Your Majesty, it's no problem for us brown-clothed people to go to the battlefield, not to mention my 300,000 troops, even if it is the remnants of the Eastern Governor's Mansion and the scattered people in the central region, I can also summon them for Your Majesty, but the equipment of our brown-clothed army is too old, I can't force them to use such outdated and backward equipment to go to the battlefield, that is no different from murder!"

Charlemagne looked at Shangguan Zhige for a moment, and after the latter nodded imperceptibly, he turned to Empress Tasha: "No problem, dear! I will arm you brown-clothed men with 500,000 pairs of plate armor from the Imperial arsenal, and I will also give you 200 smoothbore cannons of various calibers and 50 magic cannons, how about it, are you satisfied? ā€

Empress Taxia smiled at this time, and said in a sweet tone: "The emperor can believe in us so much and value our lives, we brown-clothed people have nothing to repay, and we can only repay it through the bloody battle with the Chinese invaders!" ā€

"My dear, you're serious! Now that the Brown Empire no longer exists, no matter if you brown people or northern whites, or even the Cyris people living in the Western Continent are all the people of my Western Empire, in this case, I will naturally treat your lives equally! Charlemagne replied with the same smile, his smile polite and elegant, looking impeccable, but with the same indifference as the opposite square.

Yes, it's apathy! Over the years, Empress Tasya's desire for power has not been extinguished by marrying Charlie, but has become more and more inflated as Prince Laoji has grown up! This can be seen from the fact that she clings to the power of the 300,000 standing army of the Western Governor's Palace! In the end, Empress Taxia's surname is Mushiramo, and it is impossible for her to sit idly by and watch the Brown Empire fall and remain indifferent! With the military power in hand, and Prince Laugie has reached the age of being able to govern in person, then the time is ripe to restore the rule of the brown-clothed empire, as long as he can get Charlie's support, then the restoration of the country is a matter of minutes!

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is too skinny...... Once, Empress Tasha vaguely mentioned to Charlie the matter of restoring the rule of the Brown Empire, but Charlie was not interested in this proposal at all, in the plan of the founding emperor of the Western Empire, there will only be one country in the Western Continent in the future, that is, the Western Empire that he established single-handedly, the Brown Empire that has perished, don't dream of restoration at all, if anyone wants to do this, be prepared to be completely eradicated!

Empress Tasha was very disappointed after learning Charlie's true thoughts, but she gave up the restoration of the country and concentrated on being Charlie's queen, and she couldn't accept it with her husband and children, so there was a rift between the first couple of the Western Empire, and this rift is still expanding with the passage of time, and now, the two are almost strangers......

Although Charles did not directly take back the military power of Empress Tasha, he tried every means to weaken the 300,000 brown army, for example, he never gave them the fine armor and weapons purchased from the courtiers, let alone artillery. What's more, Charlie, who has never made a fuss about the issue of military salaries for his own army, can also delay and delay when paying the 300,000 brown-clothed troops, and owe as much as he can! Moreover, in the past ten years, he has never let these brown-clothed troops go to battle, which directly leads to the fact that the combat power of these brown-clothed troops has now become very suspicious......

Queen Tasha is not blind, she sees all of Charlie's actions. It's just that as a woman, in the face of a strong monarch like Charlie, no matter how strong her ability and political skills are, what she can do is extremely limited. In fact, under Charlie's harsh treatment, she has been able to maintain these 300,000 troops over the years, and it is already very commendable that she has not let them disperse!

And this is precisely the reason why, once Queen Tasha seizes the opportunity, she will try her best to benefit her people!

As for why Charlie and Shangguan Zhige agreed so readily this time, and sent armor and artillery, the reason is also very simple, that is, compared to him Charlie Andris, Buchen is more ambitious and stronger!

If the homeland of the Brown Empire is occupied by Charlie's Western Empire, then Empress Tasha may still have a hope of recovering the country, but if it is occupied by the central empire that is not subordinate, then, hehe, Empress Taxia can completely die!

Buchen is the kind of guy who can't even tolerate the privileges of the gentry, how can he allow a huge independent armed force with a number of 300,000 under his nose?! What's more, this armed force is still ill-intentioned, and there is a possibility of pulling the flag and rebelling anytime and anywhere!

According to Buchen's temper, he will definitely forcibly disband this army, and then carry out his trick of going to the countryside in the homeland of the Brown Empire, and use a large number of officials to crush the ruling foundation of the Muhilamo family and the ruling religion among the people, and completely turn the old land of the Brown Empire into a part of his central empire!

Empress Tasha can't accept this no matter what, the lesser of two evils, even if it is for the hope of the restoration of the brown empire, she has to play with her life to keep Buchen out of the Western Continent and help Charlie win this Great Patriotic War!

As for what will happen after the victory of the war, Charlie and Queen Tasha will not think about it at this time, because compared to the upcoming difficult war, such a beautiful future is too far away and illusory......

Charlemagne's generals, including the stunned Bill, who was born as a mercenary, were able to figure out this truth, so they did not object to the issue of giving the brown-clothed army first-class equipment, so the matter passed smoothly!

The day after the meeting, Charlemagne appointed Duke Logan Tracy, who knew the truth of the army, as commander-in-chief of the garrison of Ritero, with 300,000 garrisons of Shingon and 120,000 garrisons of Lytro. Empress Tasya, who led a patchwork of nearly half a million brown troops to help in the battle, was appointed deputy commander to assist Duke Logan Tracy in defending the city of Lytro.

And Charlemagne himself, after a little preparation, took his teacher Shangguan Zhige and a group of generals to set off north, to the garrison of the Northern Group Army, and began the war of unification of the Western Continent!

After the end of this unification war, according to the plan, Army Group North will directly attack the Origin Forest through the St. Bruno Pass, and then march into China mainland through the Osan Straight Road, and make the Central Empire that intends to invade the Western Continent pay the price of blood!
