"Your Majesty, are you serious? To use this less than 120,000 troops in Guancheng to smash Charlie's nearly 2 million army?! ”
As soon as Buchen returned to his accommodation, he learned the news that Qu Zhixiong, the prime minister of the empire, rushed over with a sweat on his head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Buchen smiled faintly when he heard this, turned his head to look at Qu Zhixiong, and asked casually: "Xiangguo, do you think there is anything wrong with this?" ”
"What's the problem?!" Qu Zhixiong looked at Buchen like an idiot, and shouted: "The problem is big!" Even if we have some advantages in equipment, but we don't even have one-tenth of the opponent's troops, so we go out to fight a decisive battle without any strategy, what is the difference between this and giving away victory?! You must know that at present, seven or eight out of ten of the imperial army are scattered all over the Eastern Continent, and the defenders of the four towns only have these 120,000 people. ”
Buchen sighed, knowing that it would be impossible not to make friends with Qu Zhixiong, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Xiangguo! Do you know a misconception in your words? ”
"Misunderstanding?!" Qu Zhixiong was stunned, looking inexplicable.
Buchen nodded slightly and continued: "Yes, it's a misunderstanding! Over the years, you have been concentrating on internal affairs and promoting political reforms, and your understanding of the development of the Imperial Army, especially military equipment, has fallen somewhat out of date. ”
"Your Majesty, do you mean ......?!" A look of surprise appeared on Qu Zhixiong's face.
Buchen laughed sinisterly: "Xiangguo, don't worry!" Since I dare to take this bet, I naturally have something to rely on, we have been a monarch for many years, can you still believe me? ”
Qu Zhixiong was silent, and after staring at Buchen's eyes for a while, and confirming that the other party was not joking, he gave a deep salute and said, "Your Majesty is good if you have a plan, so the minister will rest assured." ”
Buchen stretched out his hand and patted Qu Zhixiong's shoulder, and said in a gentle tone: "Xiangguo, you are my prime minister, the leading pillar of the empire, how this battle should be fought and how it will be successful, I should not have a trace of concealment from you." However, this time the incident came suddenly, and the decisive battle will probably break out tomorrow, and there is not much time left for me to prepare, so I can only ask Xiangguo to see it with your own eyes tomorrow. ”
"Your Majesty, this is nothing." Qu Zhixiong said with a wry smile, and then said: "Since the military situation is urgent, Your Majesty must concentrate on preparation, and the minister will no longer waste Your Majesty's time." ”
Buchen shook his head: "Xiangguo, don't be in a hurry to leave, how is the overall mobilization situation in Tongdong Town now?" A brief briefing with me. ”
Qu Zhixiong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "At present, the mobilization order has been transmitted to every citizen of Tongdong Town through the terminal, and the local officials are organizing the citizens on the spot, organizing them into an army according to the establishment in heaven, and the imperial arsenal and the local arsenal are also distributing equipment, judging from the current progress, at most half a month, Your Majesty will be able to get five million troops!" ”
Buchen smiled when he heard this, although he knew very well that the empire he had built was very efficient, but when it came to full mobilization, he was still overjoyed with the superb efficiency it displayed!
Although these mobilized soldiers are far worse than the regular standing army because of the shorter training time in the virtual reality......
However, Buchen didn't have the idea of letting these mobilized soldiers be cannon fodder, did he? According to his plan, the really difficult battles will still be fought by the standing army, and these mobilized soldiers only need to suppress the local area and implement the real occupation of the western continent.
After the report on the national mobilization was completed, Qu Zhixiong did not leave any more time to delay his subordinates, and immediately left to deal with his own affairs.
Seeing the back of His Excellency the Prime Minister gradually disappearing, Buchen smiled faintly, clicked his temples, called out the entire menu, and began to give orders to the generals one by one.
……
Two hours later, Charles Andris the Great was in the tent of the Chinese army.
Pinching the war letter just sent by the envoy of the minister, Charlie asked the messenger who came to write the war letter with a strange expression: "Is your emperor crazy?" With his little strength, he dared to send a war letter to me. ”
The envoy was expressionless, but said in a light tone: "The emperor is crazy or not, the foreign minister doesn't know, the foreign minister just came to issue a war letter, Your Majesty only needs to tell the foreign minister, whether Your Majesty accepts this war letter or not, and you don't have to say anything else to the foreign minister, because it is meaningless." ”
Charlie was amused by the messenger's words, he raised his eyebrows, glanced at his own generals sitting in the tent, and asked with a smile: "No, that kid thinks that he can defeat us with only 120,000 men, do you think this is arrogance or confidence?" ”
"Of course it's arrogant!" Bill was the first to jump out of his chair, "That kid has had such a good time in the last few years!" I really thought that my Western Empire was as vulnerable as the orcs of the Eastern Continent! ”
"Bill, so you think I should take on this challenge?" Charlie asked with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bill stroked Charlie's chest.
"You think so, too?" Charlie asked the other generals.
Sean Sterling, General Barnes and others all nodded in unison, their faces full of confidence that this battle would be won!
Charlie nodded, and turned to the messenger of the unsubordinate: "Then I will accept it." ”
"That's fine." The envoy immediately bowed, "Then the foreign minister will go back to his life." ”
As he spoke, the messenger turned and departed.
"Wait." Charlie spoke out to stop him.
"Is there anything else Your Majesty?" The messenger asked, frowning.
"I want to know if that boy has the courage to fight me because he has been taken refuge by Lucius's lost dog." Charlie asked with a sneer.
The envoy shook his head: "On the contrary, Your Majesty, Grand Duke Lucius has not returned to the Central Empire. The reason why my emperor wants to fight with Your Majesty at this time is not because of Lucius's allegiance, but this decisive battle is indeed related to Lucius himself, and it all stems from a bet he made with my emperor. ”
"Bet?!" Charlie looked puzzled.
"Yes." The messenger nodded, and told Charlie and his generals all the ins and outs of the matter.
"It's ridiculous!" After listening to the envoy's statement, Sean Sterling was the first to shake his head, "This kid is not suitable to be a king at all, this is completely arbitrary!" ”
"I can't imagine that after so many years, the Eastern Emperor is still so out of tune, and we can expect a big victory this time!" Shangguan Zhige smiled and echoed the proposal - although Buchen established the Central Empire and proclaimed himself the Emperor of China, Westerners did not recognize his Central Empire, but only regarded it as another dynasty of the Eastern Kingdom Seris. Therefore, when he was called the Eastern Emperor, he was only the Eastern Emperor, that is, the Emperor of the Eastern Kingdom.
"This is called easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, right?" Bill quipped with a wicked grin.
"Ahem!" The messenger couldn't take it anymore, and coughed twice.
It's just that the messenger is soft-spoken, and the generals of Charlemagne don't take his dissatisfaction seriously at all, and are still joking with their own ministers.
"Alright, alright, you guys!" Charlie didn't want to make a big fuss, and finally stopped the generals.
Seeing that their emperor opened his mouth, the generals obediently closed their mouths.
"You can go." Charlie waved to the messenger.
The messenger bowed with a dark face and was about to leave the tent, but he did not want to be stopped by Charlie again.
"What else does Your Majesty command?" The messenger asked impatiently.
Charlie smiled disappreciatively and said: "Give me a word to Henry, no matter what the victory or defeat is, I will not hurt his life, although he doesn't care about the love of the year, but I still remember, as long as I am alive and the emperor of the Western Empire, I will not neglect him, and he and his family can spend their lives in the Western Empire." ”
The messenger pursed his lips without a trace, and did not make any comment on these words, but only agreed, and went out of the account.
……
"It seems that in Charlie's eyes, I am already bound to lose this battle!" Buchen said to himself in a joking tone.
"Not only His Majesty Charlie, but also the arrogance of the generals of the Western Empire is even greater!" The messenger said indignantly.
"Okay you!" Buchen smiled and reassured, "The victory or defeat of the war cannot be achieved by just mouths, whether it is a mule or a horse, or you have to see the truth on the battlefield!" You must be tired from this trip, so go back to your room and rest first! ”
Although Buchen said this, the envoy was still a little depressed in his heart, but the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, and finally he had to leave in a huff.
It was already dark, and he was standing at the gates of St. Bruno's Pass, surrounded by huge weapons covered in thick canvas, and numerous huge braziers dotted around, illuminating the place as bright as day.
The figure of the envoy soon disappeared into the darkness in the distance, and Buchen looked around at the huge weapons around him, his mouth grinning, and a chilling smile appeared on his face.
"Charlie, for the sake of remembering the old days, as long as I am still the emperor of China, there will still be a place for you to stand in the whole world!"
