The ruthlessness of the French Empire's plan can be said to be far beyond Duke's previous expectations, he thought that at most, the French Empire would not support or anything, and he definitely didn't expect that he already had the idea of uniting with the enemy and harming his own border guards.

"Viscount Duke, now believe in our sincerity, you can say that my words today saved you and the Storm Army!"

"This is just your side of the story, and it does not give me the basis of your sincerity. ”

Although Duke had basically confirmed the truth of what the other party said in his heart, he didn't want to show it in front of the head of the Kabu branch. Because the other party is willing to tell himself about this kind of thing, then there must be something to ask for, and Duke wants to see what the Hans Empire wants.

"It's easy to confirm what I said, as long as the Storm Army receives the order to take the initiative to attack by then, it will be able to confirm it. Since the confrontation between the Franish Empire, the Hans Empire, and the Barbarians, the Francois border guards have never taken the initiative to attack, and I believe that the Storm Army will set this first. ”

The head of the Kabu sub-group still has an expression of all under control, which makes Duke feel very unhappy, basically the initiative of this conversation is all in the hands of the head of the Kabu sub-group.

At this point, Duke basically has nothing more to say, basically just waiting for the final verification.

So there was no need for this topic to continue, Duke turned to ask: "Captain Kabu, since you are willing to tell such a big secret, it means how much you are pursuing, say, what do you want to get." ”

"Viscount Duke, I've been waiting for your words for a long time!"

An irrepressible look of excitement finally appeared on the face of the head of the Kabu sub-regiment, what he had said before was actually for the sake of the requirements of the Hans Empire. Now that Duke has taken the initiative to say it, it means that there is a point in talking.

"Seriously, it's not what I want to get, it's what we can both get. I believe that Viscount Duke should also understand what happened just now, unless Duke Otto completely relinquishes his military power and the Otto family declines, otherwise it is impossible for Emperor Fran to let go of the Otto family. ”

"Since the two sides have become natural enemies, and Henry VII has betrayed your loyalty, why do you continue to choose allegiance to the French royal family? I don't mean to say that the Otto family will switch allegiance to another empire, such as our Hans Empire. But Duke Otto is the god of war of France, and our Hans Empire also admires him very much, he has the strength and capital to become the monarch of a country!"

"So the Otto family and the Hans Empire can join forces, as long as the Imperial Army on the northern defense line is annihilated, then the entire northern part of the French Empire is our hunting ground. In terms of the speed of cavalry, it only takes five days for us to be able to march under the imperial capital of Fran City! Now in the city of Fran, there should be only the forbidden army and the second army of Fran who have not yet felt it, and the others are some lords' private soldiers. ”

"As long as we move quickly enough to conquer the city of Fran, then the Francois Empire will be history. We, the Hans Empire, are willing to divide the entire Fran Empire equally with the Otto family on the basis of the border between east and west!"

The head of the Kabu sub-division finally stated the ultimate purpose of the Fran Empire, because the pie of the five thousand people of the Storm Army was too small for the appetite of the Hans Empire. And even if the Storm Army is eliminated, it will not have much impact on the northern defense line, and it is really not possible for the Emperor Fran to transfer the Second Army of the Empire to fill the gap.

But it is precisely because of the plan of the Emperor of France that the Hans Empire was given a chance, they thought that with the current relationship between the Otto family and the French royal family, as long as they told Duke this secret, it would definitely cause Duke's disgust and anger, and it was very likely that they would directly reach an agreement with the Hans Empire, and then work together to open up the northern defense line, attack the capital of the French Empire, and finally destroy the French Empire.

The Hans Empire had already weighed the benefits of destroying the Fran Empire and the benefits of destroying the 5,000 Storm Army.

It can be said that the idea of the Hans Empire is very good, the direction of the plan is not wrong, and even the premise is that the investigation of the Storm Army and Duke's identity is very fine. But there is one thing they never expected, that is, the title of Otto family does not actually apply to Duke, and it is even more impossible for the Storm Army to cooperate with the Lion Army of the Duchy of Berry!

In other words, even if Duke has this idea in his heart, it does not mean that Duke Otto has this idea, so they are looking for Duke, which is the wrong person. In the same way, Duke didn't have any reason why they were looking for him, because the Hans Empire must have looked for Duke Otto countless times before, but with Duke Otto's loyalty and glory, even if he knew that Emperor Fran was jealous of him, he would not make such a treasonous move, so they could only start from Duke as a breakthrough.

"Captain Kabu, I have to say that your plan is perfect, and according to human nature, I have a good chance of cooperating with you. But I have to tell you that the Storm Army is not a Lion Army, and the decision I made is not representative of the Otto family. As for your attempt to persuade Duke Otto with the help of me, don't even think about it, you should have touched the nail on it. So thank you very much for this reminder, just stop cooperating or something. ”

In the end, Duke rejected the suggestion of the head of the Kabu sub-group, and I have to say that it was indeed a very tempting suggestion, and Duke was also very interested. If it is really according to the arrangement of the commander of the Kabu sub-regiment, it is basically impossible for the imperial army to have any defense, and it will be directly annihilated.

However, the strength of the 5,000 Storm Army is still too weak, even if it is combined with the sneak attack of the Hans Empire, it is estimated that it is impossible to annihilate the Imperial Army of nearly 20,000 at once. Not to mention that Duke Otto's lion army camp is not very far away, Duke is absolutely sure, Duke Otto knows that his son Storm Army and Hans Black Eagle Army are united, he will not choose to help Duke, but attack the Storm Army with the Imperial Army.

Once this happens, if the Hans Empire is not able to attack effectively, but it can withdraw at any time, where can the Storm Army withdraw? Even if it is not surrounded and annihilated, the distance of five or six hundred kilometers back to Storm Fort will also become Duke's moat, and the two most elite regiments of the Storm Army will be explained to the northern defense line in this way.

So this kind of thing with no way out, unless Duke is really in a desperate situation, he won't bet, and he doesn't have the strength to gamble.

Hearing that Duke rejected himself almost without the slightest hesitation, Captain Kabu was also stunned, he really didn't understand why Duke was so decisive!
