Chapter 893: The End of the Empire (Part II)
"Is this guy really enlightened? I actually took this layer into account! I remember that he didn't have so many scruples before! ”
Looking at the urgent report sent by the Tunguska galaxy, Yun Haoyu said with some surprise.
Luo Qiyue analyzed: "The concubine thinks that this should be thanks to the reminder of General Guo Qiuxian!" Otherwise, he would not have called to inquire at this time, but would have led his troops directly into the hinterland of the empire! ”
Yun Haoyu smiled and shook his head: "Guo Qiuxian is a good intention, but what I want is a general who can fight, and I don't need a politician who can only play tricks!" Let him just fight the war well, if he can come to the imperial capital in advance and end this war as soon as possible, it will be too late for me to be happy, do you care about that so-called face? ”
So, with the emperor's words, Yu Xinzhe no longer had any worries, and after a week's rest, he immediately marched straight forward and began to attack the military town in the hinterland of the empire: Tienomebao Province.
This is one of the most important military hubs in the middle of the entire empire, not only has the largest interstellar fortress manufacturing center in the empire, but also hundreds of military academies of the Alien, a number of national key experimental bases, a new warship design center, and even the second-ranked recruit training camp, as well as many new material research and processing bases are also located here!
Many rare resources mined from the vast Tunguska Galaxy are generally sent here for deep processing before being sold to all parts of the empire, so there are top ten large strategic resource reserve base groups in the empire! All the treasures inside add up to meet the huge consumption of the empire's huge industrial system for two months!
The empire has stationed more than 300,000 fleets here all year round, and the garrison has doubled since the start of the war, and most of the more than 100,000 fleets that have just retreated from the Tunguska galaxy are also stationed here. With the reinforced star defense system, it may be able to resist for a while, but the final fate is still irreversible!
Such a strategic location, in the hinterland of the empire, there are several major star fields near the Tunguska galaxy, as long as all of them are taken, it will further weaken the strategic potential of the empire, thus laying the foundation for the final victory!
……
"Your Excellency, someone from the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs has arrived, and they will come to pick you up shortly!"
In the living room, the commander of the Fort Tenome Military District, Colonel-General Golonevsky, said to Susnov.
The young marshal replied lightly: "Got it, let me clean it up, and I'll be fine right away!" ”
The admiral looked at his haggard and gray face, and finally couldn't help but say:
"It shouldn't be too bad! You have done so much credit to the empire before, even if you suffer a defeat, it doesn't mean anything! Now is the time for the empire to employ people, Your Majesty understands people, and he will not embarrass you too much! ”
"Hehe, I hope so!" Susnov smiled bitterly.
But he knew better than anyone else that although he had outstanding intelligence and outstanding military achievements, after all, he was not a descendant of Ulionov IV, and there was no comparison with a guy like Yegor!
In the past, His Majesty needed to rely on his own ability to command troops, and he was quite obedient, so he has been able to be reused, but this trust is too unreliable! From the time he was still a prince, he had already seen that this guy had never been a tolerant and generous monarch!
This fiasco, not to mention the loss of troops, also lost the Tunguska Galaxy, a strategic resource reserve that is related to the lifeblood of the empire! His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and ordered to escort himself back to the imperial capital to be tried by a military court!
However, he knew that if he really accepted this order, he would never survive to the imperial capital, and he would be ordered to be killed by the secret police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the way, and even the corpse would be discarded into outer space! He was all too familiar with that emperor's temperament!
"There's still some time, let me rest alone! When they come, you call me again!" Susnov said to his dear friend.
"This ...... All right! Golonevsky agreed, but he was thinking in his heart whether to send more souvenirs to the guys in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that they would not be too embarrassed by the marshal on the way.
Susnov smiled reluctantly and handed him a small package: "Here are some of my personal belongings, I'll give them to you now!" There's also a letter in there, which you can open when I'm gone. ”
The admiral had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, and couldn't help but say:
"You don't have to worry too much! Our teacher, Marshal Lomonov, is also a man of good talk in front of His Majesty, and I will inform him that the teacher will never sit idly by! Maybe it won't be long before you're back in command of the fleet! ”
"I hope so!" The marshal sighed, unwilling to say anything more, and turned and went into the inner chamber.
Half an hour later, two black-clothed major generals with gloomy faces poured in surrounded by a group of high-level supernatural beings.
"We are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Reich, and by order of His Majesty the Emperor, we have come to arrest the traitor Susnov!" The guy in charge took out a red arrest warrant, shook it in front of the guards, and said in a cold tone.
In the inner room, Susnov had stopped breathing, and the former imperial eagle, the famous general of the sea of stars, had finished his short life in this way.
……
Sria Field.
In the inner courtyard of the forbidden palace, Marshal Lomonov knelt on the ground and waited anxiously.
Ulyanov IV was half-squinting, leaning on the couch, as if asleep, and two young girls in light veils were beating his legs, and from time to time they looked with horror at the staff-wielding marshal on the ground.
These days, they have seen too many officials who have been ordered by the emperor to be dragged out of here for execution, and there are even many important ministers who are loyal to the imperial family.
As the army of the Starlight Empire approached the imperial capital day by day, His Majesty the Emperor's temper became more and more tyrannical, killing a group of palace maids and attendants almost every day, and even when the civil and military ministers in the court were doing things, as long as the response did not suit his wishes, he would be insulted at least and whipped at worst! Like reprimanding the servants, more and more officials were directly ordered to be executed by him!
In addition to fear, some strange emotions are also quietly breeding, and as time goes by, they are rapidly fermenting! Only he didn't know it.
After a long time, the emperor finally opened his eyes, coldly glanced at the number one veteran of the military who had served the royal family for hundreds of years and several dynasties, and said in a stiff tone:
"You don't think that guy deserves to die? It is not enough to drain my millions of troops, but also to lose the Tunguska galaxy, which is the lifeblood of the Empire! Such a serious crime, and it doesn't deserve to die? How do you want me to explain to the hundreds of millions of soldiers in the empire? ”
"Your Majesty, Susnov is indeed an unforgivable sin!" The old marshal said in a low voice, "But now that the situation in the empire is tight, there are very few generals who can be of great use, for the sake of the overall situation, I also ask Your Majesty to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”
"Opportunity?" Ulionov IV sneered, "Let me give him a chance, then who will give me a chance?" I thought he was still a character, but look at what he's been doing lately? In addition to losing soldiers or losing soldiers, even people and land are lost! That's what makes a good student out of you? ”
The marshal sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Tunguska Galaxy has fallen, and the Xinghui Empire's troops have threatened the hinterland of the empire, if he is executed, who will clean up this situation?" ”
Ulyanov IV seemed to be touched and frowned silently.
Even in the early years, at the peak of the empire's fierce generals, there were only a handful of famous generals like Susnov! As for now, not to mention, after the last war, the elite of the empire has been lost, and many outstanding generals have fallen, and the current empire can no longer find a few generals who can take charge of themselves and can make him use them with confidence!
Just then, Sharoko walked in from outside.
"What's the bad news again?" As soon as Ulyonov IV saw his stern face, the anger in his heart couldn't help but rise again, and he asked indifferently.
Sha Luoke looked at the marshal on the ground, hesitated slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the news just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Susnov has committed suicide by taking poison!" ”
"What?" The emperor was slightly surprised, "Haven't I ...... yet Why is he going to ......?"
Immediately, he frowned and thought for a long time, and said with a sneer: "It's okay to be dead!" I saved myself alive and became a prisoner of the Starlight Empire, and I lost my face! ”
"So, about the marshal's funeral arrangements, I don't know what His Majesty commands?" Sharoko asked again.
He said indifferently: "Death is death!" How else to arrange? Could it be that he still wants a state funeral? To the outside world, let's say that he committed suicide in fear of crime, and no longer investigate the faults of his subordinates and family, which is already worthy of him! ”
"What, this ......" Sha Luoke wanted to persuade again, but when he saw the emperor's cold and cruel eyes, he swallowed the words again.
Lomonov on the ground clenched his fists tightly, blood seeped faintly from between his fingers, and his heart was indescribably sad!
"Anything else?" Ulyonov IV asked coldly.
Sharoko gritted his teeth and said: "Just two hours ago, news came back from the front that the Ankanazi defense line had completely collapsed, General Turashench had been killed in battle, and Marshal Yegor had led his army to surrender!" Now the army of the Starlight Empire has broken through into the Desert Sea Province, and the vanguard is less than 30,000 light-years away from the empire mainland! ”
"Bang!"
A dull crash sounded, followed by a heart-rending scream.
Ulyonov IV kicked the girl beside him and roared like thunder:
"Yegor! This damn shit shit used to trust him in vain! I didn't expect him to betray me! Bastards, mongrels, liars, pigs, ......"
"Sharoko, you immediately bring someone to arrest all his family, I want, I want to destroy his whole clan, I want to kill them one by one! Kill ......"
"And those officers and soldiers who surrendered, as well as their families, must all be arrested...... Executed, all executed...... Not a single one can be left ......."
Under the cover of night, countless heavy palaces stood quietly in the shadows, and the roar of the emperor like a mad tiger spread far and wide, with a thick despair and madness!
