449 It is necessary to confess
After all the legions had reported the casualties, Princess Jina also said in conclusion: "This time, our entire northern legion went out to suffer heavy casualties, but seriously speaking, we can be regarded as severely hurting the barbarians and consuming the Hans Empire. It is believed that after this battle, all three parties will need a period of time to recuperate, and the northern border of the empire will also usher in a long-lost peace situation, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the current situation in the empire. ”
Indeed, as Princess Jina said, although the French Empire suffered heavy casualties this time, the casualties of the biggest threat barbarians were heavier, and after this battle, it can basically be said that the year-long confrontation on the northern border was over, and the Imperial Guards Legion and the First Army were able to withdraw from the northern border, and the long-term wound bleeding would be stopped.
What's more important is that now the time is about to enter August, as long as it is two or three months later, it will enter the winter time, and then the entire Rhine River will be frozen in a state, and the current situation of the French Empire, the Milan Empire will definitely not mind taking advantage of the fire to rob, after all, they did the same thing last year.
In other words, the embattled situation, if the Francois Empire does not resolve the confrontation of the northern defense line, will happen again. The last time this happened, the eleventh legion of the empire and the Northern Knights were defeated, and the two huge things of Prince Edward and Prince Andorra were also cultivated, if such a thing happened again, it is estimated that the throne of Henry VII would not be stable.
Princess Jina's voice fell, and a cold voice sounded and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is right, although our French Empire has suffered heavy casualties this time, it has opened up the situation in the actual situation, and has achieved our previous strategic goals by mistake. However, this kind of luck to break through is not always there, if the next game encounters such a situation, who dares to guarantee that the northern defense line still exists?"
It was Marquis Stilwell who said this, and when he said this, he directly locked his eyes on Duke. The meaning is already very obvious, that is, Duke is the traitor exposed by this marching route. At the time of convening this military meeting, Marquis Stilwell had already made up his mind that he would bring down Duke this time, otherwise where would he put his face as a marquis?
Facing the gaze of Marquis Stilwell, Duke acted as if he hadn't seen it, and still had a relaxed expression.
But at this time, a completely unrelated person stood up and said to Princess Jina: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Marquis Stilwell is right, this time it seems that we have achieved our strategic goal, but in fact it is extremely dangerous, the slightest carelessness is not a matter of the empire's northern defense line, but the entire Fran Empire is at risk of annihilation, we must find out this high-level spy of the military to ensure that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future!"
When Teucer said this, he also looked at Duke unabashedly, because he was ruthlessly put on the side by Duke because of the matter of the weapons arsenal, which also caused him to have no chance to go out this time.
You must know that Teucer desperately needs military exploits to increase his prestige in the Duchy of Berry, and befriend military bigwigs such as Earl Fleck and Captain Robt of the Lion Army. As a result, not only did he not get military merits, but instead let Baker's Silver Moon Army play the role of savior, bringing the lion army out of the encirclement. Now the entire Lion Army has a lot of praise for the Silvermoon Army and Baker, and all his previous efforts to make friends have been scrapped.
So now Teucer can be described as hating Duke, he never thought that this sudden waste would ruin his situation. If Duke can be convicted of treason this time, then Teucer is definitely the happiest one.
In the face of the successive attacks between Marquis Stilwell and Teucer, Princess Gina is not stupid, and naturally knows who they are targeting. However, Gina never believed that Duke would do such a thing, and in the end, it was Duke who attacked the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire and rescued the First Legion of the Empire, if this was done by Duke, then why did he risk the destruction of the First Legion of the Empire?
And what are the benefits of Duke doing such a thing, the French Empire and the Duchy of Berry have collapsed, is Duke a vested interest? This answer is no, not to mention the French Empire, the Duchy of Berry has fallen, then Duke is definitely a member of the loss. No matter how Duke and Duke Otto's dry cleaning is, but many times, he has used the identity of the Otto family to get convenience, once there is no Duchy of Berry, then Duke will also lose his biggest backer.
So it is reasonable that Duke has no need to do this, but now that this matter has been raised, whether Duke did it or not, Princess Gina has to give an explanation, after all, the consequences of this kind of thing are indeed as Marquis Stilwell said to Teucer, the consequences are very serious.
"This time the Imperial Northern Army attacked, and at the same time was surrounded by the barbarians and the Hans Empire, it is impossible to describe it as a coincidence, it must be that the route map of our Northern Army was leaked, or even betrayed to the enemy country. ”
"After this march route map was formulated, almost everyone in the know was on the scene, and you are all the backbone of the French Empire, and you are also the humerus ministers of the Northern Army. If it weren't for your desperate fighting, the situation might not be the way it is now. So I don't want to doubt or slander any of the generals present until there is any evidence, and the investigation takes time, so don't worry. ”
Princess Jina didn't want to make a rash decision, because of the wounded and the defense in the past two days, there was no time to investigate this kind of thing, and she didn't target Duke like other generals, and even thought Duke was a spy, so she could only divert from this topic and emphasize that evidence was necessary.
Hearing Princess Jina's words, it was obvious that she wanted to protect Duke, thinking of the relationship between Princess Jina and Duke, the faces of some of the Imperial Army generals on the scene were not good-looking, and even some of the Lion Army generals were the same, after all, this time the casualties of the Lion Army were no less than those of the Imperial Army, and the battles they experienced were more brutal.
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the person who really had the final word appeared, only to see the Marquis of Barton stand up and say: "Your Royal Highness Princess, in fact, all of your sir's suspicions are justified, and this time the Imperial Army has suffered heavy casualties, we must give His Majesty the Emperor an explanation!"
