Section 48 Posturing

The golden drums sounded in unison, the roars burst, the soldiers arranged in a neat square line were motionless in the pouring rain, the water droplets drooped down along the soldiers' foreheads, and the water on their faces slowly slid into the soldiers' already soaked underwear, the closed lips and the fixed posture of staring at it were like a statue, the bright spear tip spear head shone with green brilliance in the air, and the rain-soaked leather armor revealed a calm color little by little, it always looked like there was an indescribable solemn taste, and the killing momentum brought by tens of thousands of soldiers gathered together appeared more intense in the rain, as if to cut through the vast rain and fog and go straight to XiaohanThe upright soldiers were full of energy, held their heads high, and greeted His Majesty's review with great momentum. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rain had already drenched the three people on the horse, but the middle-aged man who rode forward flatly refused the proposal of the two behind him to hold an umbrella and drape him with rain gear, and waved to the saluting soldiers while smiling and watching the moving parade in the rain. Every look of the soldiers was unreservedly reflected in the eyes of the middle-aged man, which seemed so vivid and natural, so that the middle-aged man who had not felt this kind of closeness and touching atmosphere for a long time had an indescribable grandeur and majesty in his heart.
From one end of the army to the other under review, half an hour seemed so long at this moment, just when the prime-aged man who was in the lead was full of ambition, but it made the already somewhat uncertain marshal in armor even more uneasy, he didn't know why His Majesty suddenly insisted on reviewing the originally canceled phalanx of soldiers, but His Majesty's stubbornness made it impossible for anyone to stop it, and even the Minister of State could only stand tall and accompany His Majesty to suffer a crime in the rain.
"Very good, I am very satisfied, Zoff, I see that the morale of the king's [***] team is quite high, it is not as unbearable as you said in your last battle report to me that it was badly damaged, I don't believe that these inferior peoples in the south can really compare to our Andeans, seeing the momentum of this army, my confidence has skyrocketed a lot. Allowing the two maids accompanying him to take off his wet clothes, change into clothes, and lie down in the wide handsome chair, the middle-aged man has regained his usual easy-going and natural, and the majesty of the military parade just now disappeared without a trace, and the maid took off her boots, wiped them clean and put on her casual boots, and the usual lazy smile appeared on the white face of the middle-aged man.
Kutuzov didn't understand the meaning of the words of this friend who grew up a little bit, originally he had already made up his mind that if the other party insisted on withdrawing troops, he would only obey, and then squeeze more benefits from the negotiations with the coalition forces as much as possible, but after His Majesty the King came, he didn't mention anything about the withdrawal of troops and negotiate peace, isn't it as bad as he imagined? Quietly glancing at the minister of state with a flat face, Kutuzov had the feeling that he couldn't see through the two in front of him for the first time, and coughed lightly, " Your Majesty, in the battle of Tokton, our army's losses were indeed not small, but the losses of the coalition forces were not small, and the continuous rain also greatly affected the morale of both sides, but our army is an elite veteran who has undergone long-term training and many battles, and is more able to adapt to the war in an unfavorable situation. ”
Seeing that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, Kutuzov, who had always been modest, couldn't care less about being modest, and carefully analyzed the favorable situation in front of him: " And the most important thing is that the mercenaries of the eastern countries of the Peninsula Alliance, which plays a pivotal role in the coalition forces, may soon return east because of Li Wufeng's southward movement, and the rainy season will also end, it is the best time for our army to start a decisive battle with the coalition army, as long as we fight down, the entire western countries and city-states of the Peninsula Alliance will become our bag, and the West Oran Kingdom can no longer use the alliance to contain our army, we only need to rest for two years, so that we can digest the land of the raid, and then it will be time to settle the new and old hatreds with the West Oran Kingdom。 ”
"Well, Zoff seems to be very confident that the coalition will be resolved in a war. Noncommittal to the words of his military marshal and friend, the middle-aged man stretched out comfortably in the handsome chair, there were only three people left in the big tent, as the king of a country, the middle-aged man didn't seem to care about the two henchmen standing in front of him, and the eyes revealed by a pair of dark pupils always seemed to wander.
"Your Excellency Marshal, I think you have also learned that Li Wufeng has already made a big move south to the east of Hengduan Mountain, and Haig does not understand military affairs, but I would like to ask, with the current situation, can the Peninsula Alliance resist Li Wufeng's southward movement?"
His eyes were fixed, Kutuzov didn't know what the other party's intention was in asking this question, but he knew that it definitely had a lot to do with the fact that the two of them came to decide whether to fight or not, so he didn't dare to slack off, and thought carefully before replying: "Although the Peninsula Alliance has a covenant of alliance and mutual assistance in the military, there is an undercurrent surging inside, if you want to resist Li Wufeng's all-out attack with the eastern countries and city-states of the Peninsula Alliance, I am afraid that it will be very difficult, unless the Treaty of Urgen The Maqi Khans and the Nanyang Alliance, among the signatories, sent troops to support it, but that's another matter. ”
"In the marshal's opinion, will the Macedians Khan and the Nanyang Alliance send troops to help?" the Minister of State immediately asked.
"Even if the Nanyang Alliance has the heart to help, but according to the efficiency of their alliance council, I am afraid that when the agreement is reached, the banners of the Tanghe people will be planted all over the peninsula, as for the Maqi Khans, I am not sure, Bi Xili and Lei Juetian are both old and cunning people, it stands to reason that they will not let Li Wufeng go south so unscrupulously, in the long run, this is a potential huge threat to the Maqi Khans, but now a large number of Maqi Khans have been dragged in the Lin family's Sanjiang County, and the Milanese are also a hidden danger behind them, whether they will send troops, and how large they will intervene, will have a great impact on the development of the war situation and the final outcome, and there are many variables in between, so I can't be sure either. Kutuzov's words became more and more cautious and tight, and they did not leak.
"I remember that His Excellency the Marshal once said to His Majesty that this would become our enemy sooner or later, and I wonder if His Excellency the Marshal thinks so now?" Hag's voice grew deeper and deeper.
Stunned for a moment, Kutuzov carefully figured out the meaning of the other party's words, glanced at the middle-aged man who was sitting in the big chair and looked like he was asleep, and then said slowly: " Yes, I did say this, but now I need to revise it, if Li Wufeng can solve Frederick in Luzon, then Li Wufeng will become our biggest enemy, but now Li Wufeng seems to have relaxed the pressure on Luzon, and Frederick seems to have gone through some hardships and has matured a lot, Li Wufeng wants to solve the Luzon people, I am afraid that it will not be easy, in my opinion, within three or five years, Li Wufeng may not be able to do this. Therefore, Li Wufeng will not be able to pose a threat to us in the short term. ”
"Then, in the marshal's opinion, is it necessary for us to let the Peninsula Alliance return to the east to contain Li Wufeng's southward movement?" Hague's face seemed to change from gloomy to sunny at this time, and he looked much better, which made Kutuzov puzzled.
"Let the mercenaries return to the east?" Kutuzov's mind turned sharply, and then he was shocked, and his heart was overjoyed, but he didn't understand why he followed
