Chapter 698: Unscrupulous means

Forget it if you surrender without a fight.

He even helped the enemy to attack his own country.

Such a thing is unforgivable in the Empire.

Logically speaking, as a major general, it is absolutely impossible to do such an act, but with the commander-in-chief Hausmann leading by example, Voskoro Darnay has found such an excuse for himself.

Although the Empire is very thorough in brainwashing the soldiers at the bottom.

But a general who has access to the secrets of the empire, of course, cannot be like an ordinary soldier, who does not dare to surrender to the enemy even if he dies in battle before receiving an order to surrender.

Height determines attitude.

Of course, the rule-makers can't restrain the lawmakers, and only the bottom can be restrained.

It also makes it easier for Voskoro Darnay to rebel.

As long as he does a good job as a high-ranking officer, then the soldiers below will naturally look down on the commander.

And in order to gain the trust of Vega.

He took the Red Leaf Fortress and gave it to Vega.

So there was such a scene, Vega did not spend a single soldier, and harvested the city of Xelantu, 200,000 surrendered troops, a sub-strategic point in the central region, and successfully advanced the battle line to the central region, creating a huge sense of crisis for the empire.

"The Jialan Empire will not treat your officials badly. ”

"This battle is a great achievement, but what reward do you want?"

Vega looked at the major general with admiration, who he considered to be decent and had no personality to speak of.

The actions of this major general reminded him of himself a few years ago, when he was not betrayed by the empire and left him on the east bank to be responsible for blocking the kingdom army, and things have come to this point.

Now the Reich has abandoned another major general.

And if this major general dared to resist the assassination in spite of the trial system, he considered it to be quite malleable. Vega identified it as a living being, not a soulless puppet of the Empire.

"Thank you for your kindness. ”

Voskoro Darnay saluted solemnly: "The subordinate has heard that General Haussmann has pledged allegiance to your country, so the subordinate has no other requirements, but only wants to continue to serve under General Haussmann, and asks the general to agree." ”

In fact, Voskoro Darnay is nowhere near as calm as he seems.

He is full of anxiety about the future, and the only person he knows with in the Jialan Empire is probably his former boss, Hausman, so he desperately wants to find solace from those who share his illness.

"I understand that when I get back home, I'll arrange this. ”

Vega nodded and said, "In addition to this matter, are there any other requirements?" As long as I can, I can promise you everything, what the Nuolan Empire can give you, and the Jialan Empire can give you double." ”

"There's one more thing......"

Voskoro Darnay said with some embarrassment: "In the next war, the lower official asked His Highness, to be honest, psychologically I don't know how to face the Imperial Army...... But don't worry, I'll take the time to adjust. ”

"Of course there is no problem, I can understand that. β€œ

Vega smiled and said, "Then please ask your army to assist the commander of the 3rd Division of our department, and the 3rd and 7th Divisions to defend the city of Xelantu, I now need to continue to advance the battle line towards the Red Leaf Fortress with the main force, echoing the leader of the rebel army, Coverdale." ”

"Please rest assured. ”

Voscolo was not dissatisfied with Vega's installation of two troops to help defend Shelantu, he had just surrendered, and it was natural that he did not trust him, and his loyalty would take time to prove.

Farewell to Voskoro Darnay.

After a few days of rest, Vega officially took over the Red Leaf Fortress.

Although the Red Leaf Fortress is a secondary strategic point, it is actually a very important place as the entrance to the central part of the country.

This one place has little impact on the central part as a whole, but it can be a wake-up call for the Empire, forcing them to abandon the eastern shore of the Jialan Empire as soon as possible.

And in the imperial capital at this time, everyone did reach an agreement-

At the cost of the eastern shore of the former dynasty, the Vega will stop the offensive and withdraw from the eastern part of the empire.

Although this is detrimental to the dignity and glory of the empire.

But even the act of apologizing to the people is ready to be made, what dignity and glory does the empire have?

All the high-ranking people present understood that the empire had been pushed to the brink of destruction this time, and in this case, glory and dignity had to be sidelined, and if victory could be achieved by unscrupulous means and by all means, then it must be used.

So in the next few days.

The Empire first sent emissaries to make a deal with Vega, but did not rush to issue a decree to pacify the civilians, but only secretly mobilized a large number of troops and pressed in the direction of the rebels in the northwest.

This was clearly a premeditation.

This time, however, the plan was not directed against Vega, but against the rebels.

The head of the empire instructed several of the generals: "Ladies and gentlemen, Viga Saint Laurent will withdraw his troops in the future, and when he returns to the country, we will issue a decree to win the hearts of the people." At that time, we must deal a fatal blow to the rebel army, whose morale has been shaken by the decree, and completely destroy the determination of the rebel soldiers to rebel. ”

"Xia Guan understands. ”

Everyone spoke in unison.

The FΓΌhrer nodded solemnly: "The rebels have always colluded with Vega Saint Laurent, and Vega Saint Laurent is not honest, if the time drags on too long, Vega Saint Laurent, who has returned to the country, is likely to make a comeback, this time we must be fast." ”

"Your Excellency need not worry about this. ”

The Minister of Intelligence responded: "Once the Jialan Empire takes back the east bank, I'm afraid there will be no energy to march on us in the short term, I got accurate information from the trial system, this time the Jialan Empire expedition has almost exhausted all the war reserves on the west bank, and then they have no ability to attack us, at least we have a year to breathe." ”

"This is really good news. ”

The FΓΌhrer nodded: "But you need to know that the Jialan Empire needs to recuperate, and now the Empire that is riddled with holes also needs to recuperate, so please fight quickly." ”

"For victory!"

Everyone stood up and saluted, and this time the empire had made up its mind to abandon dignity, glory, and responsibility...... This series of burdens, and then for the sake of victory - unscrupulous means.

The rebels' Coverdale did not know this.

The only news he had now received was that Vega had stepped into the middle before him, and that the Empire had been forced to send emissaries to ask Vega Saint Laurent to withdraw from his army, unaware that the Empire had secretly mobilized troops to move closer to their side.

So he didn't have much to worry about.

Because he always believed that in a short period of time, it would be absolutely impossible for the arrogant and powerful empire to lay down its dignity and win the hearts of the people, and as long as the empire did not promulgate a policy of appeasement for a day, with this shareholder trend and the support of Western countries, it was impossible for him to fall off the altar.
