Chapter 237: The First Order
Does what Roy said represent what he meant?
Of course, Rod knew that he had come to the front with the appointment and powers of the emperor, and in the first meeting with these high-ranking Imperial officers, he had remained silent from beginning to end, allowing Roy to speak and give orders on his behalf, and if he acquiesced without any expression, he would probably give the impression of "no opinion......
But who cares?
He just wanted to end this war as soon as possible and let his countless acquaintances and friends in the resistance army be safe, and he didn't care what the generals thought of him. Roy has always been smart and steady, and has never let anyone down, and publicly rejected her plan...... He wasn't confident that he would be able to come up with a better solution on his own quickly.
Besides, he attaches more importance to his family than these military people who may not have much intersection with him in the future, and Roy makes ideas for himself like a military advisor, can he embarrass his sister in public?
......
He didn't hesitate for long, and soon made the first real call for the first time in his life: "It's what I mean, carry out this plan." ”
The generals in the room let out a whisper, and after a few seconds, they all subconsciously looked at Commander Hazm. In this room, Rhodes had the theoretical supreme power, but he had no prestige and was not a military chief, and if the commander-in-chief of the legion refused to carry out his orders because he considered them unreasonable, the vast majority of the generals would obey the latter's orders.
Heizm, who was getting older and had begun to lose weight, felt the gaze of everyone, raised one hand to hold his forehead, rubbed his temples and pretended to think, and sighed secretly in his heart.
From the point of view of the commander-in-chief of the army in Antelli, there is not much problem with Lowy's plan being a bit risky, since Rod, who is in power, has decided to adopt it, he does not have a strong enough reason to refuse, and from a personal point of view, there are rumors circulating everywhere inside and outside the empire that the son of the Duke of Forster is colluding with the resistance army, and His Majesty the Emperor has sent him to the front line to deal with the problem of the resistance at this juncture, and the intention to clear his name of slander and suspicion can be described as a red fruit, and the meaning of favoritism and maintenance is overflowing...... He lived for most of his life, and finally took advantage of General Carlyle's momentary confusion to become the leader of the eight classics. He had to admit that he was already old, and he really didn't have any momentum and bloodiness when he finally got out, and he dared to offend Duke Foster while disobeying the emperor's will.
He was silent for a few seconds, felt that the shelf had been set up enough, and opened his mouth: "Execute." ”
***
A dozen Resistance prisoners were brought to Rhodes, and after listening to the mission, they were allowed to have a full meal, and then left Sardenburg with temporary passes and horses. After making sure that they were really released, they did not stop and quickly rushed in the direction of the Great Forest of Cavehall.
Rod and Roy left the conference room, led by the reception staff to the arranged room, rushed from Wenwei all the way to the tired, finally had a place to rest without shaking, the two sat in the chairs, and sighed comfortably.
"Will the Resistance send someone to negotiate?"
"How can you ask this kind of question, it is Queen Elaine who expresses her willingness to make peace in a private meeting with you, and she should be the one who is in a hurry. I don't know how long the little girl has been waiting for you to hear back - the reason why I want you to meet the captives in person and explain the task in person and express your willingness to negotiate is because I want them to see you. Roy glanced at him helplessly, "When the freed captives return to the Resistance camp and tell their colleagues that a young Imperial commander with dark silver and black hair has asked to negotiate with Queen Antelli, those who know you will know who is coming." ”
"Hmm. Rod nodded, it was.
"The only thing to worry about is if the Resistance finds out about the decline of the Imperial army, learns that the Imperial army has been transferred to encircle the demons and is unable to increase its troops, and then abandons the negotiations and intends to drive the invaders out by force...... That's a bit of a hassle. Without reinforcements, the Empire will inevitably eventually be forced to withdraw from Antelli, but the myth of the invincibility of the Midland army does not come out of nowhere, the war will continue for a long time, and many of your friends will probably still die. What's more, if you're sent to solve the Resistance's problems, only to be driven back by the enemy army, not only will you lose face, but there will also be rumors that you are colluding with the Resistance Army. ”
"What if that happens?"
"As long as I get the 'offensive' organized by those guys to work, the worst won't happen. Roy pursed the corners of his lips with a confident expression, "Of course, if my arrangement doesn't go well, then I can only use violent methods." Send your best troops, led by Morgan and Floyd, into the Cavehall Forest and find the Resistance camp...... Get that little queen out. The two assistants sent by the Emperor to you have just finished dealing with the Gaks living in the dense forests of the south, and they definitely have a lot more experience in jungle warfare than the resistance, and it will not be a difficult task to find a camp in the Cavehall Forest. ”
"How's that going to work!"
"Why not?" Roy snorted, "Those generals don't dare to do this because the 'guardians' who can crush them with a finger forbid them to do so, but the two of us are here, what else do they have to fear?"
"No, I would never agree to send an army into the forest. Rod shook his head resolutely, "If the Resistance doesn't send people out to negotiate, I'll go in and find them myself." ”
"Do you think I'm going to come with you just to make an idea for you?" No, I'm here to watch you and not let you do stupid things!" Roy glared at the boy: "Maybe you do have many friends in the Anteli Resistance, but there are more enemies, and you take the initiative to expose yourself to danger, there is nothing more stupid in the world, if you want to mess around, I will immediately inform my mother and ask her to come and take you home and lock you up." ”
Rod was deflated: "Okay, okay, just say it, I won't do that." ”
"Instead of worrying about whether the Resistance will send people, let's think about how the negotiations should proceed. The little queen took the initiative to show her goodwill, but she may not agree to all your conditions, how to talk about it, have you counted?"
Rod naturally thought about this problem and had some ideas. However, since Luo Yi asked so, there must be someone who is already confident and can let her thoughtful make a plan, and the possibility of everything going smoothly must be greater...... Thinking of the dwarf Hawke, the loud-voiced General Monterey, and more men who had fought side by side with him in the "Royal Queen's Army", he did not hesitate to use the means that could always be effective: "Roy~ Good sister, if you have an idea, just say it quickly, don't sell it." ”
"Hmph. The girl pretended to raise her chin proudly, and she enjoyed the feeling of her brother being coquettish to herself, but she refused to satisfy him so easily just by listening to a soft word, blinked, kicked off her shoe and rested her right leg on the other party's lap: "Stand so sour, rub it for me." ”
