Griffith was late, and after applying for permission, he quietly pushed the door open and walked into the solemn tactical conference room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The five brigadier generals, around the huge tactical conference table, kept their faces strained and did not speak, and were cast by kerosene lamps without moving. The two major generals looked at Admiral Farina with a puzzled expression, but the admiral was expressionless, staring at the women's clothes on the tactical table at the same time as the marshal.

There was nothing on the tactical table but a solemnly flattened women's garment. Sandboxes, wargames, counters, folders, all piled up on chairs in a mess to make room for women's clothing. So the top commanders of the army gathered together, staring at a woman's garment as if they were facing a great enemy, and did not say a word.

No one dared to speak first.

Griffith walked into the dead silence of the Black Cloud Crushing City, feeling a little suffocated. He frowned and was about to ask, "What are you doing?" when he saw Major General Claude looking at the women's clothes painfully and shaking his head:

"No, I can't accept this. ”

But the rebuttal buzzed: "We have to try......"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"There is no other choice......

Although the brigadier generals are slightly lower in rank than major generals, because they are young and open-minded and have divergent thinking, their opinions are relatively unified, and they have asked to try it.

Griffith thought that the hobbies of the brigadier generals were getting stranger and stranger, and the younger generation was bewitching and impetuous, and the empire was afraid that it was coming to an end.

"Give me almost a little more serious!" Griffith straightened his hat and walked over to the dilemma of Major General Claude, turning his head to refute his subordinates: "Who told you to try on women's clothes?"

The brigadier generals were stunned. The commander of the Forbidden Army was a major general, and they did not dare to fight back.

Maj. Gen. Lane tugged at Griffith and told him, "Don't squeak, look at the clothes." ”

Griffith looked closely, only to see that the emerald green dress was stained with blood. And the flashy lace ornament had been cut open, and the soft white lining had been removed, and he leaned over to the light, and could see that the lining was covered with dark red writing:

"The first earl was ordered to kill the thief, and Neferdinan died without extinguishing, and he came back from the killing, and the demon was so strange that the public saw it. So the demon corpse ruled the dynasty, and the king became a puppet. Now the sovereignty of the empire is dying, so the royal family does not hesitate to break the jade, blood as an edict, declare the public to raise troops, rise up to capture the Hofburg court, kill the demon corpse, and clear the monarch's side. If the government and the opposition are finally calmed, all the secretaries will be listed as the fathers. Emperor Elena Theresia wept bloody. ”

Ryan pointed to the handwriting and told Griffith, "That's the Emperor's edict." Sent from the palace overnight. ”

Griffith's face turned green.

"If this is the case, then the court should be in dire straits, and the emperor should be under house arrest, how can a secret edict be sent?" Griffith pondered.

According to the female official in the clothes, the emperor was indeed under house arrest, and everyone who entered and exited was searched, and not a single note could be taken out. The emperor had no choice but to take the risk of sewing the blood edict into the mezzanine of the change of clothes, and by chance he handed it over to the female official to take out of the palace. As soon as Admiral Farina spoke, he immediately attracted all attention. The old dragoon commander said in a heavy tone, and he was undecided: "If the edict captures the palace, the empire will fall into a civil war to the death." If you turn a blind eye, you will put the emperor and the female official in the clothes in danger. If you send a dress out, you can't hide it for two days, and once Ferdinand and the puppet king find out, the emperor and Lily will be in danger. ”

Marshal Karl's face suddenly turned pale, and the color of blood slowly poured back into his cheeks, like a red tide engulfing the ice. He was hit in the heart by Admiral Farina.

"This war is dangerous, and if it is not replaced, the empire will be plunged into a protracted civil war, and once the situation is in turmoil, the country will never be able to rise again. Major General Claude was old and steady, and he voiced everyone's concerns: "The emperor has grown up, his wings have hardened, he has turned his face and denied his father, and ordered us to kill Ferdinand and put the old king under house arrest. In this civil war, both sides are orthodox, there are heavy troops on both sides, as long as the fight starts, the great powers will be involved, the empire will be torn apart, torn into two sides, there will be no reunification, no more power. ”

Marshal Karl was unmoved. He stood up, pressed his hand on the tactical table, glanced at the five brigadier generals, and clapped the board categorically: "Seven years ago, I had a tumor. The doctor prescribed me medicine, and I said no, I wanted to have surgery. I may not be able to get off the operating table, but I insisted on doing it. Why? Even if I take medicine, the tumor is still in my stomach, and it grows bigger and bigger, it weakens me, it tortures me, and finally it makes me die with no dignity! Rather than this, I might as well unscrew it off and throw it away; because only by surviving the operation can Lao Tzu strategize and become famous in history, and can he be invincible in the east and west! I can convene this meeting that will cover a thousand years and save our empire! Because I opened the knife, I can stand here and fly, and because I opened the knife, I can imprint the name in the mind of the crying child!"

The former army boss, even if he takes a back seat, his speeches have the power to intimidate: "Today's empire is the me I was seven years ago." Will you sit back and watch it decay without dignity in its shening? Or will you join me in rising to the power of the wise empress, seizing the turning point of resurrection from the dead, and winning a greater victory?"

The five brigadier generals exchanged glances. They didn't dare to squeak, because they were all ready to move, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they would go to the point of no return.

Admiral Farina knew that his preemptive analysis had subtly influenced the marshal's decision-making. He calmly took over the conversation, and at the most critical moment, he just rightly added fuel to the fire: "What's the point of putting the king under house arrest? This king has been dropped, and the current king is a fake." The emperor knew that the king was a stand-in, so he turned his face and wrote the edict of forcing the palace. ”

Ryan followed, lobbiing eloquently, "Yes. No more than 6 people in the entire empire knew this secret. If it weren't for the moment, I wouldn't have told you. This is true, even if there is no evidence. As you all know, it is impossible for the enemy to leave obvious evidence of such an espionage operation as the replacement of the king. ”

Admiral Farina turned his head to stare at Ryan, and suddenly found that the outcome of this meeting seemed to have been decided.

He himself made a deal with Frederick to use Frederick to form a militaristic government, so Farina himself was a facilitator.

And Marshal Karl will be affected by the safety of his relatives in decision-making, and with Farina fanning the wind, this old careerist will never let go of this opportunity to take the position. Therefore, if the resolution is a rebellion, it will be passed with a high probability. Now it's up to the vote.

Griffith would definitely obey his will, so the first major general voted in favor.

But because of the opposition of Major General Claude, things were not easy.

However, at this juncture, Major General Lane suddenly lobbied five brigadier generals, deliberately aroused public indignation, and created an environment of excitement, and two of the three major generals were in favor, so it was useless for Claude to oppose it.

As a result, from the voting level to the review level, they have been handled by a pair of big hands in the dark, and the positions of these people are like the hands of a clock, which have already been set a few seconds faster.

Could it be that Ryan and Frederick had a private agreement?

It can be inferred from this that Frederick had anticipated the convening of this tactical meeting in advance.

So he knew he would be chopped down by Ferdinand. He knew that the coup d'état would fail, that he was not cannon fodder to kill Ferdinand, that he staged a tragedy, that he had brought about this military meeting, that he had brought together all the top brass of the military department in one room - so everyone gathered together just in time to see the blood edict sent from the palace.

The timing of the arrival of the blood edict was so coincidental, and it was logical to turn the issue of "emergency stability maintenance" into "forcing the palace by order", although the officers were caught off guard, but everything happened smoothly, like a seamless lie, and it seemed really logical.

But Admiral Farina never believed in coincidence. Therefore, he suspected that this secret edict was also instigated by Frederick. Frederick approached the Empress again and again, just to subtly guide her to write this blood edict, and send it to the military headquarters at the right time, so as to put the last stitch on Frederick's subversive plan and complete the plot.

The admiral thought in a daze: If man wants to live in the world, he must sell what he can sell. Frederick's assassination of Ferdinand, and finally the demonized Ferdinand's counter-killing, are just a scene of love, he fell in a pool of blood, Marshal Karl, who was afraid of Ferdinand, would be shaken; he fell in a pool of blood, and the emperor who was carried away by love would give an edict; only when the cannon fodder fell in the pool of blood, Farina, the beneficiary, would personally go into battle and accidentally get on the thief ship of cannon fodder.

For a moment, the neutral, the hesitant, and the onlookers all went to a different historical trajectory according to Frederick's prediction.

"It's worthless to sell laughter, but it can be sold miserably. Frederick was good at selling miserable, and he could empty the white wolf. This poisonous snake!" Admiral Farina, after thinking clearly about the cause and effect in an epiphany, gritted his teeth and secretly scolded Frederick, who was playing with him: "Start a battle that must be lost, just to wake up a few people? This kid has perfected his ability to manipulate passers-by, and he is not very old, but he is more damaged than me in his bones!"

On the first day, when Frederick walked into the admiral's office, he was given a cold reception.

On the evening of the "second day", the admiral realized that Frederick was a feared teammate and an unfathomable enemy. Because the admiral witnessed the whole process of Frederick using family affection, love, and national conditions to manipulate passers-by and overthrow the mountain overhead.

Once, he felt that Frederick's winning chance was zero, and there was no chance of a comeback at all, because Frederick had almost no basic handicap.

Now, the Janissaries have suddenly mutinied, the dragoons have defected at the same time, and the Wehrmacht has laid siege to the palace. Frederick easily accomplished this impossible goal—all he did was to have ten generals of the armed forces with their own evil intentions stand in a room, and that's it.

Admiral Farina suddenly remembered Frederick's oratorical eloquence and demagogic skills. He suddenly felt that all the power needed for a demon who turned the world upside down was nothing more than that.

If even a behemoth like Ferdinand was overturned by Frederick's incitement and demagoguery, then where could there be rivals on the vast continent?

The old dragoon was suddenly ten years old, and he felt that he had personally lifted a natural demon to the pinnacle of power.

But when the marshal reminded him to vote, he still numbly said: "I am in favor." ”

Because power beckons to him, and deep down, who has no demons.

When the marshal gave the order to sum up, the voice was like the sound of history, illusory as if it came from the sky: "8 votes in favor, 1 vote against." Next, assign combat missions, be sure to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and support the emperor to govern!" (To be continued.) )
