546 Sweet bait
"Emperor of the Fran Empire...... Publicly executed?" Frederick read as he sat in his tactical tent, pinching in intelligence. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He convened a new emergency meeting of the officer corps. The fire paint on the envelope was still fresh.
"Can I look at it?" said Vincent. He spoke and behaved as if he were on an equal footing with Frederick.
Because of the intimacy between the Eternal Prophet and Vincent, the Prophet even granted Vincent the Holy Light technology to use. The man who once represented the Elven Kingdom was Frederick. Now the person who represents the elven kingdom is like Vincent.
Frederick handed the envelope to Vincent: "Emperor Fran is an undefeated general. If he dies in infighting, the morale of the enemy will surely plummet. ”
Vincent read the information and read a paragraph softly: "The military and civilian finances of Paris are all controlled by the plutocracy. The Constitutional House was born to collect money, and the noble and lowly died for profit. Factories are closed, logistics are cut off, and no one cares, and speculation and profit-seeking, fraud and exploitation are even more unconcealed. The achievements of the 10 years of reform in Paris were destroyed in one day, and the whole country accumulated 10 years of gold dollars and returned them to the hands of one person. The emperor was defeated, many parties seized power, and when the army broke through the city, Paris would meet each other. You can fight. ”
Frederick asked: "I'm sure the information is true. What do you guys think?"
Vincent took the fire paint letter, stood up, and attracted the attention of all the officers at once.
"I would like to point out that our intelligence system is far more efficient than the Prussian army, and we received the news of the emperor's execution about it about three days before them. This means great benefits. Vincent paused: "Right now, we're sitting in Frankfurt. To the north, there is a terrified army of brothers. To the west, there is the Fran army at the end of the crossbow. ”
"The end of the crossbow. Frederick agreed.
Vincent continued: "Yes. The logistics chain is broken, the commander is beheaded, and the army is alone - I am sure that when the news of the Emperor's death reaches the front, it will cause an uproar, because no Fran officer has the courage to deal with the current situation except for the Emperor, who is proficient in lightning tactics. ”
Frederick did not interrupt Vincent's speech, for the hero saw the same thing.
"Our fraternal armies, because of successive defeats, have been in a state of panic in Berlin, but they have no idea how fragile the Fran army is now! Obviously, we should crush the enemy army in three days, and show the world with the results of the devastating war that the empire did not collapse on its own, but that we defeated the invincible Fran army! It was we who saved the North German brothers who were in danger! We will strike like lightning and use the victory of the Quartet to make Berlin grateful and eager to form a stronger federation!"
In this way, after a brilliant victory, the reunification of the north and the south is not an extravagant hope. "Frederick was again said to be in the center. He nodded in thought.
"It's the reality that matters. How can our cavalry compete with tanks and walls?" said Major General Claude, a key question.
Frederick knew that Vincent had a lot of chips in his hands. He'll throw it at the right time in exchange for what he wants.
"I will grant you victory. There is no doubt about that. Vincent sat down, scanning each officer through the resin mask. In everyone's eyes, the bloated anti-nuclear suit doesn't seem so ridiculous.
"The steam tank was covered with armor to the point where it was watertight. Indestructible. In the roar of the boiler, it can travel hundreds of miles a day, and its maneuver is no less than that of heavy cavalry. And it made up the head with a real gun. The fire is fierce. Major General Claude went straight to the point, "We're going to talk about more realistic issues." We are faced with the reality that hitting a tank with cavalry is hitting a stone with an egg. ”
"The other side has a steel chariot, and you have me. Vincent announced angrily.
Frederick clenched his fists and thought to himself, "He's starting to lay the groundwork for his prestige." Hold back, you must hold back, and pretend to know nothing, because the civil war has not yet begun. ”
"Our only leader is President Frederick the Great. If you try to overstep, apologize. If you don't have the idea of transgression, please explain your words. Admiral Farina didn't buy it. He stood menacingly, his armor rattling as if in warning.
Frederick's heart warmed. I thought that the old fox really protected his son-in-law. He pushed the boat down the river and turned his head to stare at Vincent.
Only then did Vincent realize that a table of tin men was eyeing him. Only he was dressed in plastic skin, as if he was embattled.
But Vincent didn't panic. He hurriedly explained: "That's right. I convinced the Eternal Prophet. He agreed with me to share the Light technology. As long as the knights are religious, I can legally grant divine authority to infuse your armor with golden blessings. You've seen the power of gilded armor. It makes armor as solid as a rock, and it makes knights invincible!"
The officers whispered. Admiral Farina and Frederick exchanged glances, thinking that it was a good deal.
"A knight's sword coated with holy light can slash a steam chariot?" After all the discussion, Admiral Claude hit the nail on the head.
"With a sword down, the covering armor will be as brittle as a paper shell, and the steel tracks will break in response to the sound, as smooth as a knife cutting water. The Holy Light can turn the blade into the hardest metal on the ground, and the enemy's mass-produced steel is absolutely out of reach. For a bulky old tank, cutting off the tracks is tantamount to a death sentence. "Vincent has worked hard to earn trust.
The generals exchanged glances and expressed their satisfaction with the reply.
"Can the knight's survival rate be guaranteed? The steam chariot had inflicted heavy casualties on the Prussian army. "Admiral Farina is aggressive.
"The Light will protect the knights who fight for it as much as it protects the kingdom of the king's divine power. We can experiment right away and have Knoober's cannon bombard the gilded armor. You will find that the human body in the armor is safe and sound, because the Light has the ability to cushion it. The Light will not only give you the incorruptible hardness of Vajra, but will also give you rock-solid perseverance. Vincent opened his hands as if he were preaching, and the audience could not refuse: "As long as you are religious, you must be sublimated." Every victory I promise will shine in the golden light. You just have to trust me. ”
At this time, Frederick spoke.
"The Light Technology is the power of the Eternal Prophet for a long time. Only the monks he trusted the most could have it. Vincent, how do you make sure that it is arming the Knights, how are you going to make sure that it is stable on the battlefield?"
"The president is very far-sighted. That's exactly what I'm going to say next. Vincent was cautious: "The maintenance, repair, use, and regeneration of the Holy Light Generator all require the expertise of an independent team - it is not difficult to solve this problem, and the logistics force will be placed under my control, and the clergy will be allowed to take up logistics positions, so as to ensure the stable role of the Holy Light in actual combat." ”
Half of the "......" president's face was hidden behind the crossed ten fingers, and the worry in his eyes was bottomless. The officer corps knows that this seemingly harmless proposal may have touched the bottom line of the president.
"I promise that the logistics budget will only be reduced, not increased. Vincent carefully threw the bait.
The officer corps couldn't sit still, and many people were eagerly muttering: "The great president......"
"Not allowed. Frederick said softly, "Knights can be religious. But the clergy could not hold military positions. This is the bottom line that the Brahma Holy See has always consciously abided by, and this unwritten iron law has maintained the tacit understanding and peace between elves and knights for hundreds of years. You've only been around for a few days, and you're trying to break the old rules, and there's going to be a lot of resistance. ”
The president is reasonable, and ordinary people will probably retreat from the difficulties.
But Vincent would not back down. He knew that he had given the Holy Light Technology for free, and the officer corps was actually itching. Therefore, Frederick could only politely refuse, but could not take the case seriously.
Vincent was well aware of his strong capital, and he was also well aware of Frederick's strong external strength.
So, Vincent behaved unusually docile, as if he put himself in the shoes of the country, deliberately thought about it carefully, and then proposed a second solution: "I will not break the rules." If the logistics force were to be handed over to me, the clergy would serve on the battlefield in the name of humanitarian support and personal volunteerism, they would not ask for any staffing, allowances, or salaries, and in addition to maintaining the Light Generator, they would also take on part of the medical work, which would be paid for by the Holy See. This, on the contrary, would halve the budget of the logistics force - a conservative estimate. ”
