Chapter 175: Sending Troops to Suppress Bandits (Part II)
At the same time, the bandit camp.
"Mother-in-law, do you have something to do with me?" Harold ran over in a hurry.
Yaslan nodded, then glanced at the old drunkard Fu Pike standing beside her, and immediately asked, "Do you listen to your mother-in-law?"
Harold hurriedly nodded like a child: "I will definitely listen to my mother-in-law's words." โ
After a brief silence, Yaslan seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Harold!"
"Mother-in-law, I'm here. โ
"You now immediately lead your legion and the armored assault battalion under the command of Vorpak back to Easy City, and the route is to cross the Maru River and cross the Dos Plains!" Yaslan said in a serious manner.
"Why mother-in-law?"
At first, Harold thought that he was going to launch a final attack on the Celestial Thunder Legion, so he was very excited, but now the retreat order was poured on him like a basin of cold water.
"According to reliable sources, the Shining Star Legion has already marched towards Easy City, and even the Mighty Cloud Legion has already disobeyed the order to attack, so ......" Frider explained.
"What!" Harold exclaimed at once, "I see, I'll go and get ready at once." Just as he was leaving, he turned around and asked, "Mother-in-law, what about you?"
Yaslan said softly and comfortingly: "Fortune and Pike and I returned to Runaway City from Babylon Canyon, and by the way, you don't have to worry about breaking the queen for you." Seeing that Harold was a little hesitant, she continued: "Those little shrimps of the Heavenly Thunder Legion can't do anything with your mother-in-law, you can rest assured." โ
"What about the snow that day?" asked Harold.
"She has things to do, don't worry. โ
"Oh!" Harold was a little disappointed, but he still showed a hearty smile, and then gave a military salute to Yaslan, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely guard the city and wait for you to come back!"
The moment Harold turned to leave, tears suddenly welled up in Yasilan's eyes, "Child, go all the way, this is the last thing your mother-in-law can do for you." โ
......
Cold Moon Empire, Military Department.
Located directly north of the palace, this huge and imposing building is the Imperial Military Headquarters, and although it is surrounded by tall and straight fir trees, it is difficult to hide its masculine appearance.
Flags flutter in the wind, and guards stand in the middle.
Today is the eighth hundred and eighty-sixth year of the Heavenly Spirit Continent calendar, and on the eighth day of the twelfth month, Nicholas Rongte stepped on this white marble staircase to the military headquarters for the first time as the prime minister, and also became the second political minister in the history of the empire to enter the military department.
He smiled at the old man's face, and he clung to his crutches and said to himself, "I want to live another twenty years!"
"Uncle?" Kefer asked softly.
"Don't help me, I want to go by myself!"
When the nephew stood aside, the prime minister walked up alone.
At this moment, at the entrance of the hall of the military headquarters, more than 20 officials with positions above the command level were personally greeted, including the Minister of War, the Minister of Service, the Chief Staff of the Empire, the Commander of the Guards, etc., and the welcoming procession composed of minor officials extended from the stairs to the innermost part of the hall.
The marshal fell, so they followed suit.
"The fact that the Prime Minister himself came really frightened the lowly ranks. โ
The Minister of Defense, Duke Stan Yuke, is currently the highest-ranking person in the Imperial War Department, and he used to be under the orders of Field Marshal Ron, but now he is at the command of the 'wind'.
"Your Excellency the Duke is gracious. The prime minister nodded slightly, and his attitude was very polite, "Time is pressing, it is better to hold a meeting as soon as possible." โ
"That's, that's. โ
Amid a burst of compliments and applause, Prime Minister Ronte arrived at the Imperial Military Chamber and immediately convened a meeting against the banditry in the Loose City.
The meeting was attended by high-ranking generals and ministers of the military department, among which President Qiu An of the Central Army and Commander of the Goethe Fortress of the Central Army, Commander Pers Kate, also attended as scheduled.
When everyone was seated in their seats, the meeting began.
The first to speak was the chief of staff, the slender man began to introduce the city and the defeat of the Heavenly Thunder Legion a few days ago, and from his understatement it was not difficult for everyone to hear his defense of Galio's fat pig, especially his sentence: The bandit army is quite cunning undoubtedly says it all!
However, Prime Minister Rongte did interrupt him at the right time: "Responsibility, I want to know whose responsibility is for this failure?"
Prime Minister Rongte's purpose in attending this meeting was mainly twofold: first, to hold Galio accountable and remove him from his position after the war, so that the Heavenly Thunder Legion would fall into his hands; second, the military department intended to improve Hua Yun's record and announce it to the whole empire in order to divert the fact of defeat, so Hua Yun was likely to be promoted, and he must stop it!
As for whether he can achieve these two goals, Prime Minister Ronte can be said to be nine out of ten in his heart, the reason is very simple, that is, Ron's old horseman will not come out of bad things.
And without that old puppet's restraint, who else would be his opponent in the entire empire?
It's just that the chief of staff didn't know what to say about the responsibility for the defeat, so he set his sights on the head of President Kabbalah Cola of the Swift Legion.
Then, President Kabbalah Cola said with a smile: "Of course, the defeat of the Heavenly Thunder Legion was caused by a mistake in strategy, so the chief staff of the Legion, Mark should bear all the responsibility!" After speaking, he glanced at Prime Minister Rongte indifferently.
At this time, the conference room was not quiet, and from time to time there were whispered exchanges of views among officers, and most of them shook their heads lightly at the fact that President Kabbalah Cola had led him to challenge the authority of Prime Minister Youngte, indicating that his behavior was irrational.
And in the next second, Prime Minister Rongte suddenly smiled, and let out a long "oh" as a question.
"What about the Prime Minister's opinion?" asked President Kabbalah Cola rhetorically.
"I want to do something before I make a statement. Chancellor Ront picked up a quill pen and dipped it in a little ink.
Is he going to write about what?
Just when everyone had such an idea, the prime minister did something that everyone did not expect! He threw his quill at the Kabbalah Cola Cola collar on the side, and suddenly the white military uniform was splashed with black ink spots.
"You're ......!" President Kabbalah Cola stood up with a "whoop".
"I'm sorry!I'm sorry!" the prime minister motioned not to be angry.
Despite his displeasure, President Kabbalah Cola sat down.
"Just now, my brain told my body to throw the pen at President Kabbalah Cola, and it turned out to be ......," the prime minister laughed helplessly.
President Kabbalah Cola snorted, "Then doesn't your body have an opinion? If your brain tells him to throw him, then he is too lacking in control, right?"
At this time, someone in the conference room laughed quietly.
You old fox! President Kabbalah Cola was immediately complacent, thinking that his words must have made the prime minister a big ugly person, but he accidentally noticed that the crowd did not seem to be laughing at the prime minister, but as if they were laughing at himself.
"What are you laughing at?" said President Kabbalah Cola with a frown.
"Has President Kabbalah Cola forgotten what he said?" reminded the Prime Minister.
"What?"
"Didn't you say that the defeat of the Heavenly Thunder Legion was the responsibility of the staff alone?"
"Of course, I ......" President Kabbalah Cola reacted at this time, it turned out that the prime minister's intention was to refute his own point of view, and the pen was just a cover!
Damn!
Seeing that President Kabbalah Cola was speechless, Prime Minister Youngte suddenly smiled contemptuously: "You are still too tender, boy!
"You should know that although the strategy was formulated by Marke, the person who carried it out was the commander President Garrio, so he is also responsible, and it is a heavy responsibility! After all, the Heavenly Thunder Legion has lost a full 100,000 soldiers, if it is not handled strictly, how can it calm the pressure of public opinion in the empire!"
The officers suddenly stopped talking, and it seemed that they had agreed.
"What should we do about it?" asked the Secretary of Defense.
"Please send a joint letter to all the generals of the military department, asking Your Majesty to exile Galio and behead Marco at the same time!"
Although extremely reluctant, President Kabbalah Cola also had to sign his name on the document presented to His Majesty, and Xingxue's brother President Joan also signed it.
"Then go ahead. Prime Minister Rongte had a flat smile on his face.
The chief of staff stood up again, but his momentum was obviously a little weaker than before, "The officials proposed that Captain Huayun be promoted to the position of president of the Heavenly Thunder Legion. โ
Everyone immediately agreed!
But Prime Minister Rongte suddenly objected: "Why?"
"He saved the three Commanders in the previous battle!" the staff member's voice was as small as a mosquito.
Prime Minister Rongte let out another "oh".
"If he is promoted to the presidency, how many levels does he skip?"
"It's just two levels. President Kabbalah Cola on the side said disdainfully.
Seeing this guy come out again, Prime Minister Rongte smiled again and asked, "President Kabbalah Cola, when did you become the president? and why was you promoted?"
Is this old fox trying to trap me again?
President Kabbalah Cola turned his face to the side and replied with a slight emptiness: "I forgot!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Rongte said as if reciting: "Kabbalah ยท Presidential Cola Cola, the second son of the Kabbalah family, was born in the 847th year of the Tianling calendar, is Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old today, graduated from the Imperial Royal Academy with his eldest brother of the same age, and then joined the military boom, in the 868th year of the Tianling calendar, he was promoted to the rank of captain for killing one hundred and seven people on the battlefield, and the following year he led the troops to resist the enemy in the mountain and sea fortress, and fought hard for six days and nights without reinforcements, eliminating 14,000 people of the Agni Imperial Army, thus defending the imperial territory, and was promoted to commander by His Majesty......"
The Prime Minister's words amazed President Kabbalah Cola, and some of the things he even forgot about himself.
"Eight hundred and seventy-one years of the Heavenly Spirit Calendar, at the end of the ten years of rebellion, you and your brother, who are already the commanders, fought together in Tianyan City, your eldest brother died in a glorious battle, in order to reward your eldest brother and your contribution to the empire, Your Majesty made an exception to let you, the baron, be promoted to the presidency. โ
President Kabbalah Cola and the officers who were doing it were suddenly silent!
