Chapter 762: The Igniter

That's right, the Imperial emissary received by Joseph, the mayor of Sergant, was Kellot, because he had a letter of appointment just sent by Atwood, and he would take over control of Selangant as an Imperial Agent.

"I'm now the nominal supreme leader of Sergant, and if the three mayors have anything, talk to me. ”

Wanting to respond to these mayors outside, Kailott took the shelf, and no one was in his eyes.

"You are the head of the Affleck family, right? As far as I know, your territory should be in Gonza City outside the Lorraine Empire! ”

The appearance of Kylot Affleck in Sergon was unexpected, confused and a little uneasy at the same time, testing his attitude.

"That's right, the Imperial Government has recently received information that there may be some unpredictable turmoil on the side of Sergant, as an Imperial noble, isn't it a matter of duty to defend the territory of the Empire from foreign enemies? Besides, Your Excellency also knows that Gonza is outside the Lorraine Empire, to be exact, in the territory of the original Duchy of Rhône, and I have almost cleared up the dangers over there, and I have come here naturally because I have spare strength. ”

In this game, Kellot's biggest hole card is actually turned over on the table, that is, his two base camps are actually outside the battlefield, the Qingshu Islands are the real core foundation, in the starfall sea, and the current biggest enemy, the noble group of Sambia does not have a decent naval force in their hands, and the only naval stationed Sergant is still held by the Affleck family.

The situation in Gonza is similar, if Sambia wants to go to Gonza, it takes two days to take the fastest railway, but this way undoubtedly exposes the target, the train is estimated to face rows of cannons, if you want to sneak attack, you can only walk or take a car, the time is at least five days, and the Ottoman alliance wants to do something to Gonza and has some gains, which means that they must send more than 30,000 regular combat troops to go on an expedition, regardless of the harassment of giants along the way, but also over the Anglas Mountains, and the most important thing is that after arriving in Gonza, whether they have the ability to capture it in one fell swoop, otherwise they will face widespread public condemnation, don't forget, Gonza City has an honor bonus, this is a city of heroes, many of the people in it have survived the difficulties of giants and found a new home, if you want to go to war, there must be a valid reason.

Don't underestimate this reputation, the Ottoman family alliance was originally doing a dishonorable thing, which has made many people loyal to the empire feel bad, if this happens again, their reputation among the people will be low to a point that can affect their own foundation, after all, his army is selected from the people, and most of the family's economy also comes from the people's taxes, and it is not a good thing to annoy the people below.

"I advise you to take care of your own affairs and stay comfortably in the territory, why come to Selgunte to suffer, maybe your Excellency can respond in Gonza, but this is part of the Sambia region of Selgunte, you can't do it here! Whether you are here today or not, I have to explain a fact, Sergunte, the permanent combat force, 10,000 soldiers in the army, 20,000 in the navy, I admit, you have an advantage in the navy, and it is not small, but our three major families together have nearly 200,000 land combat troops, plus some nobles who follow us have private armies, you don't think that Segangt can hold out, right?

If the temptation fails, then coercion, 200,000 troops, this number sounds like a tiger, and the number of all the members of Qingshu plus all the soldiers of Sergant may be enough for one-third of him.

But one thing to note is that wars are never about numbers, if there are more people and who wins, then what kind of war is there to fight, and if you count the number of people, won't it be over?

"200,000 troops, how many can you mobilize? Why, being the Sambian government is an ornament? As far as I know, the total number of Imperial troops in the Sambia region is also 200,000, right? Do you want to try to see if you can defeat Sergent with 200,000 men before the Sambian government reacts. ”

The three major families really have the courage to pull all the troops to Sergant, and Kailot promises to pat his ass and leave, can't he afford to provoke and hide? Then, will these 200,000 people be stationed in Sergant? The total population of this seaport is only more than 300,000, and they have to go back to defend other areas, and then come back.

"Okay, there's no point in fighting here, you should go back, Sergant will not welcome the people of the three major families from today, I said this, you tell your own family master in the original words, if you have any dissatisfaction, please come to me. ”

The choked three mayors were speechless, and Kellot didn't bother to waste words with them, Sergant still had a lot to deal with, and he was not interested in arguing with them here, and it wasn't a child who had to take advantage of a quarrel, and the one who had the last laugh was the real winner.

"Hmph! You're going to regret your decision today!"

Let the other party finally put down the cruel words and leave, and Kylot didn't bother to refute.

"The people in the way are finally gone, and there is finally time for us to discuss something important, Mr. Joseph, shall we go to the town hall?"

"Of course, the place for the meeting has been prepared for a long time. ”

The place that had been given to the three mayors was now being used for their discussions.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the government boardroom, where the top brass had gathered, along with a few outsiders, and Atwood was among them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to solemnly introduce once again Mr. Kailot Affleck, the current leader of Aoki, the deputy director of the Aoki Foundation, the envoy of the Empire, and the current Supreme Commander of Sergant, I think you should know what this means, and I will not stress too much about some disciplinary issues. ”

The people here have contact with Qingshu, and they are already in awe of Kellot, not to mention that he still has a government appointment letter in his hand, and he has full control of all the power of Sergant.

"Before the official start of the meeting, there are several appointments that I would like to announce, namely, this Organization Department, the Propaganda Department, and the Personnel Bureau...... All of the above people were imprisoned on suspicion of treason, and the time was ...... Indefinitely, let's go in and stay, when the situation is stable and come out, by the way, these people's families also have to watch, if someone makes trouble, they will be locked up together, everyone has no opinion, right?"

Silence, all eyes turned to the few named guys, these people belonged to different departments, but they all had one thing in common, they all went to the train station this morning, and had a close relationship with the three major families some time ago.

"I don't agree, why should you lock us up! Even if you are an imperial envoy and you still need to be a government official, you still need to comply with the law, produce evidence, and go through procedures, and you can close it if you say it?"

If you don't resist at this time, and when you go to prison, who will you go to complain to? Or who will listen to them?

"I'm sorry, the current Sergant, my words, it's the law! And to be reasonable, I haven't wronged you, my list is provided by Mayor Joseph, after a special investigation, you have actually secretly joined the other team, treason...... But if you want to kill the whole family, you will only be locked up for a few days, and you are not satisfied?"

Looking at the noisy appearance of the soldiers erecting them, Kailott suddenly felt that he was not too merciful.

"Okay, you don't have to look angry, let's take a look at the evidence in prison, to tell you the truth, this list was originally intended to be directly merged into this month's death penalty shooting list, if it weren't for Mr. Kailot's not wanting to cause too much social turmoil, do you think it's just going to be a prison!"

Joseph didn't lie, at first he was going to send troops to raid his house as soon as he got this list, but he was stopped by Kailot, he hoped to suspend the sentence, at least not now, the timing is not right, these people are all people with heads and faces no matter what, and the handling of them is too hasty and loses the deterrent effect it should have.

"I'm sure you all know about the current situation, so I won't stress it anymore, because this is the first time I've had a meeting with you, so let's talk about your thoughts or concerns. ”

Kylot was not familiar with Sergant's situation, and instead of forcibly pointing out the situation, it was better to listen to the thoughts of these people.

"I want to ask when the government's reinforcements will arrive? Mayor Oushelin's words before are actually a bit reasonable, their troops really can't be all sent, but only a part of it is enough for us, Lord Kailot, you may not know, because of the nature of the city on our side, we actually put more emphasis on maritime safety, and your green tree has helped us protect this aspect, so we haven't invested too much resources in military development, and naval warships are really useless in inland operations, minus the garrison troops that need to be guaranteed by the warships and the security forces in the city, the troops that can now be put into battle and have a certain combat effectiveness are actually only about 15,000 people......”

It was the head of the army, a naval colonel to be exact, because the port city on the Segangant side was a seaport city, and the imperial government had a navy stationed here, so the highest commander of the navy was usually in charge of the other armies in the city.

A combat force of 15,000 people wants to defend against the alliance of the three major families from three directions, and there are 5,000 people in one place without foreign aid, which sounds like a lot of people, but it should be noted that this is just an ordinary army, and most of the people in it are just some soldiers who have experienced army drills and have not really participated in the war, and they have to be spread out into the defense line on three sides, so this number is basically a state that will lead to the collapse of the defense line in a few large-scale charges, and it is no wonder that the colonel is so eager to get reinforcements。

"In this regard, you can rest assured, since I am here in person, there is no one in Sergant who can take it from us, and in two days, the green tree will be ready, and our combat troops will support Sergant, 10,000 elite troops, I think it is enough. ”

The combat effectiveness of the Qingshu troops far exceeds that of the ordinary army of the government, this is for sure, the pirates are destined to have more blood and killing skills than the defenders of the perennial peaceful area, and when these people become a qualified army through systematic training, their power is unquestionable.

"There is still a problem in Sergant, and that is that the followers of the Sunmai Sect are still active in the city, trying to convince the common people to follow them, and I would like to ask, does the Imperial Government have a clear goal for us to take action, and what to do with these Sunmai followers. ”

The Sunmai Sect, this is the existence that everyone is really afraid of, almost as long as the Lorraine Empire, as the state religion, it is widely popularized among the common people, and it takes great courage to do something against them, which is why even if the imperial government and the Sunmai Sect stand on the opposite side, the local government has never dared to provoke the Sunmai Sect, they need the Empire to express a clear attitude, suppress or annihilate, the meaning of these two words is very different.

"The people of the Rimai Sect are still active, why don't you stop it!"

"This ...... Nominally, we are not in a position to stop the missionary activities of the members of the Sunmai sect. ”

The superintendent was embarrassed to hold the teacup, which was not to blame him, because it was written in the imperial law.

"Who told you to stop them from proselytizing? Mr. Superintendent, someone just reported to the city that there is a large amount of contraband hidden in the church of the Rimai Sect, so I have reason to suspect that there are gangsters pretending to be members of the Rimai Sect and infiltrating the clergy of the church, what should I do next...... You're more familiar with the process than I am, right?"

Kailot could see that these people were still bound by the power that the Rimai Sect had accumulated over the years, and he came here to stir up trouble this time, and the first thing to break was the glorious image that the Rimai Sect had established in the hearts of the people.

"I see, let someone check it out right away!

After getting the order from above, the superintendent dared to let it go, anyway, there are so many people present today, even if something happens in the end, there are people who can go up.

"Wait, do you know that church, there seem to be quite a few strongholds of the Sunley Sect in Sergant, right?"

"Your Excellency, I know that the contraband is hidden in the largest church in Sergent!"

"You're very smart, go ahead, report anything at any time, don't give face to those gods, didn't even the angels come out two days ago? Let me tell you, it's just an alien creature made up by the Holy See of the Principality of Flanders before, if it appears again this time, report it immediately, just to give the citizens a lively and interesting biology lesson!"

Kailot doesn't like to come slowly, it's too troublesome to push and pull friction, he came to light the fire!
