362 Northern Conference
Duke Otto naturally did not know about Henry VII's plans, and he did not want to think about it. It's just that in terms of military deployment, it is tricky for the Storm Army to change the gap between the Second Army of the Empire.
"Lord Duke, what is going on with Duke Gongzi's Storm Army, why did His Majesty the Emperor send the Storm Army over to garrison the northern defense line, don't they know the importance of this place?"
It was Count Fleck who said this, and he was also the commander of the First Legion of the Lion Army, the right-hand man of Duke Otto, so he was the first to raise questions.
"That's right, Lord Duke, it's not that I don't believe Duke Gongzi, but the Storm Army doesn't have any significant achievements except for the battle with the Spartan Legion after the Great War, and I don't have the slightest confidence in the Storm Army's defense of the Second Legion of the Empire!"
A red-faced man below Fleck also agreed, and his voice was very high-pitched, looking very excited. This Great Khan is Robert, the commander of the Second Legion of the Lion Army, and his personality is very hot and direct, so when he said this, he didn't take into account the relationship between Duke and Duke Otto, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
With these two legion commanders taking the lead, the generals of the Lion Army below were very dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor's decision. Although Duke Otto is still loyal to the emperor and still remembers the old love of his youth, the storm army under his command does not think so, what they see is that the French royal family suppresses the lion army everywhere, and takes this opportunity to express their dissatisfaction with the emperor.
"Well, since His Majesty the Emperor has given the order, then we have to obey it. Take a step back and say, even if all the Imperial troops are withdrawn, won't we Lion Army have to defend it? Don't forget, behind us is the Duchy of Berry, our territory and homeland!"
Duke Otto said in a deep voice, not very loud, and even if he didn't pay attention to it in the noise, he wouldn't have noticed that the Duke was talking. But it was this kind of ordinary tone of speech, and the generals of the Lion Army below were instantly silent, showing Duke Otto's absolute control as the imperial military god.
is the terrible control of the army, basically the lion army and the Duke of Otto have experienced the army, they only know the Duke of Otto, but do not know the Emperor of France, this is the ultimate reason why Henry VII can't sleep at night, Duke Otto's influence on the army is too great, and he has surpassed him, the emperor of the French Empire!
After Duke Otto said this, he looked at Baker on his left and said, "Buick, what do you think of the storm army led by Teucer. ”
"The Storm Army is disciplined and equipped to be no match for the Lions' elite legions, a force far more powerful than you think. In addition to being inferior in numbers to the previous Second Legion of the Empire, I think that under the same number, the combat effectiveness should be equal, even if it is not much behind, it is more of a backwardness in combat experience. ”
When Baker said this, the generals in the big tent all looked at him, but many people's faces were full of doubt. Didn't the Storm Army fight the Spartan Legion with the Silver Moon Army outside Andorra, but the Spartan Legion at that time was considered to be the end of several major battles after the expedition, and defeating such a Spartan Legion was not a thing worth boasting about.
"Is it that powerful?"
Duke Otto also asked suspiciously, he is a very newcomer to Baker, knowing that his son is the arrogant kind, if the other party is not strong enough, he will definitely not brag. Now that Baker has said so, it proves that Teucer's Storm Army is indeed superior.
It's just that Duke Otto can't figure out how it is possible to develop a storm army that has always been strong in a barren place like Storm Castle and is facing a great threat. You must know that Storm Fort is a small territory of tens of thousands of people, so the 3,000 Storm Army should not have brought all the troops over, right?
"Yes, Father, the Storm Army is strong. ”
Baker emphasized once more, acknowledging the fact that the Stormtroopers were strong, and that was what set him apart from the average nobleman. Although Baker is also very proud in his heart, he will not despise or slander the other party, and he will say whatever the truth is. It's just that in Baker's heart, he still confidently thinks that his Silver Moon Army is stronger.
"I see. ”
Duke Otto nodded, basically from Baker's mouth, he could get the fact that the Storm Army was definitely not weak. As long as there is basic combat effectiveness, plus the scale of 3,000 people, it can be regarded as making up for the vacancy after the change of defense of the Second Army of the Empire, and the vacancy of other personnel, Duke Otto plans to find another way.
Teucer listened to his father's conversation with his eldest brother below Baker, his face calm, but his heart was full of anger and jealousy. When it was time to get down to business, my father would always consult Baker for his opinion, not himself.
What makes Teucer even more unhappy is that since it is not as good as Baker, Baker actually said that Duke is a waste of the storm army is very strong, doesn't this make his father pay attention to Teucer, and his attention will plummet in the future.
So Teucer couldn't let his father be interested in Duke, so he said in a contemptuous tone: "Big brother, I've also seen Duke's storm army, and the equipment is indeed good, because he now has porcelain sales, and it is said that a group of dwarves are helping him build weapons, so the weapons and equipment are very good." ”
"But the only thing the Storm Army has a record of success is to fight the Spartan Legion with your Silver Moon Army. But I don't think the Spartan army in that state can be considered a strong army, so it's no surprise that the Storm Army won. And at that time, the Storm Army only had 1,000 people, and now the Storm Army will send 3,000 people, I don't think it is possible for him to come out of the nest and mainly leave a few people, right?"
"So judging from the size of the Storm Army, it is basically impossible to equip all the armor that was used to fight the Spartan Legion in a short period of time. On this point, I would venture to guess that the Storm Army should be due to the lack of equipment, so they want to get the Empire's distribution through the frontier. It is very likely that His Majesty the Emperor also thought of this, so he emphasized that the Storm Army was supplied by his father, not directly by the Imperial side, and the biggest purpose of the Storm Army's trip was to get equipment supplies!"
When Teucer said this, the Lion Army generals on the scene nodded in agreement, because this was indeed a credible reason for such an accident!
