Outside the window, the rain was pouring down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Our goal for this rendezvous is here, Port Ametrin. Lorist tapped the little red dot on the map with a small wooden stick and said, "You should remember the first stop when we set off from the city of Morente, the only port town in the Armenian province of the former Principality of Rum. That's where we wiped out the slave catchers and formed the northbound convoy......"

There were not many people in the conference room, that is, Fat Speer, Director Speer, Director Codan, as well as Malek, Baron Camorra, Telman, Reddy, except for Director Speer, Director Codan and Baron Camorra, the rest of the people were all back to the Northland with Lorist to form a northbound convoy back then.

"The reason for choosing Port Ametlin is that it is only a day's and a night's flight from the bay of Zangjin and a two-day journey from the front line of the Falcan Plain. Even if our family's North Sea Fleet is frustrated in the Gulf of Zangjin and cannot destroy the Armada as originally planned, it will not prevent us from carrying out our reserve plan to reinforce the city of Bluwik.

Of course, if we can successfully destroy the Armada and land in the Hidden Gold Bay and capture the city of Morent, it will be the best outcome, and we can deal the heaviest blow to the commercial alliance in the fastest time and at the lowest cost, and force them to sign an armistice peace agreement with our kingdom. This war has been going on for more than two years, both the business alliance and our kingdom have suffered heavy casualties and huge losses, and now it is time to end this bloody war.

His Majesty, who sent troops to reinforce us, did not like war because of interest and obedience, nor because we were belligerent. You must know that His Majesty the King's condition for us to send troops is only to hand over the province of Yunge Shandra to our family as a jurisdictional territory, and the development of a barren province of Yunge Shangdra still requires our family to invest a huge amount of development funds, and we really don't need to sacrifice the lives of countless loyal family soldiers for such a province.

Our reason for entering the war is to stop the war, but also to teach the business alliance a lesson. The Norton family territory is not a place where they can come and go freely and with impunity, they collude with those rebels to set up riots in our family territory, slaughter our family soldiers, and steal our confidential information, this is a shameful and despicable act!

Well, what Lorist is talking about now is all nonsense, and everyone here knows that the real purpose of adopting Malek's proposal is to go to Molent City to rob it. It was the richest city in the Continent of Gelintia, a place where wealth gathered, and the first commercial city in the Continent. If Malek's plan succeeds, what a blessing it would be to occupy the city of Morent and loot for the riches. Moreover, the city of Moriente has never been captured by the enemy, and once the Norton family forces occupy the city of Moriente, the name and the profit will be all gone.

Of course, Lorist is not untargeted, he has to find an upright reason for himself and the family forces, and he can't say to the family soldiers, everyone come with me, let's go to the city of Moriente to rob......

Therefore, two years ago, the Business Alliance sent the Great Swordsman to infiltrate the Northland to search for Lorist's whereabouts, preparing to assassinate the seriously injured Lorlist, colluding with the Hansk Governor to set off a family strife, killing the soldiers of the artillery training base, and taking away a large number of weapons and equipment drawings designed by Master Sid, these things have become the best excuse, regardless of whether those great swordsmen have done it or not, anyway, the sewage is splashed, and those great swordsmen don't dare to argue in front of Lorlist, the sword master......

Genorio was writing the side, he had to record these words of Lorist and then print them as leaflets and distribute them to the armed forces of each family, so that all the family soldiers could understand such a simple truth, we went to Morente City to rob it was just, we were on behalf of the righteous side to punish the despicable and shameless business alliance, and all the property we looted was the compensation given by the business alliance to our Norton family......

Lorist did not want to turn his family into a gang of bandits, so the necessary deception was indispensable, and the ideological work had to be taken seriously. Practice has shown that robbery is most effective when it is organized, disciplined, and full of a sense of justice. In his previous life, his homeland gave the arrogant monkey neighbor in the southern border a hard slap, and the withdrawal of troops after a counterattack was the best proof that the neighbor's originally richest and most developed region did not even have a telephone pole after the war. Therefore, the ideological work must continue......

“...... This war should not have happened, the commercial alliance illegally occupied the territory of the former Krisson Empire, our Antinac Kingdom inherited the legal system of the Krisson Empire, His Majesty the King is the orthodox bloodline inheritance of the Krisson royal family, so it is justified for us to unify and recover the territory of the Krisson Empire, and it is our obligation and responsibility to restore the glory of the former Krisson Empire.

His Majesty does not want to go to war with the Business Alliance, he just wants to negotiate and sign a peace agreement with the Business Alliance. But as a result, everyone already knows that the business alliance violated the traditions of the aristocracy, treacherously played intrigues during the peace talks, not only wanted to coerce His Majesty, but also sent troops to attack, so that this undeserved war has continued to this day.

We, the Norton family, have sent troops to the war this time to punish the unjust business alliance and prevent this cruel war from continuing, bringing greater misfortune and disaster to the people of our two countries. May every soldier of our family be able to fulfill their duties, fight bravely, and bring peace and hope to our family and the royal kingdom, and to bring peace and hope to the unfortunate people in this war!"

Finally finished, Lorist wiped the sweat from his forehead, fortunately this time he only spoke in the conference room, because of time, the four major legions of the family had already made their own arrangements, and they didn't do anything to make a military parade speech before the troops, otherwise Lorist didn't know if he could hold back such a large amount of sanctimonious rhetoric before the public.

This time it was a temporary idea, because Malek thought that Lorlist, as the head of the family, should give the soldiers of the family to cheer up and improve the morale of the soldiers. It seems that in the future, I will have to raise a clerical team to write speeches for Lorist, Lorist used to despise Shi Fatzi's poor writing, and his speeches were written in a mess, but he didn't expect that he would be much worse when things came to an end.

Genolio had already finished recording Lorlist's speech, sorted out the manuscript and handed it to Lorlist, and after reading it, Lorist signed it, and then this manuscript would be printed and distributed in countless copies and sent to the four major armies of the family armed forces on the expedition. As for whether the soldiers wiped their butts with this leaflet after reading it or kept it away, it was none of Lorlist's business, as long as the family soldiers thought that this robbery in Morent City was a righteous act, that was the most important thing.

After talking nonsense, the next thing is to get down to business, Lorist first named Shi Fatzi's name.

"Baron Schreid, this time I agreed to His Majesty's request to send troops, and then the province of Yunge Shangdra will be included in the jurisdiction of the family. I am going to appoint Sedcamp to the position of Acting Governor of Yunge Chandra Province and to take full charge of the development plan of Yunge Chandra Province. As the head of the Family Administration, you are under your direct authority and you are responsible for monitoring and supervising the implementation of the development plan. ”

Shi Fatzi stood up: "Your Highness, originally the Executive Department planned to let Sederkamp preside over the development of Makinohara Province, and he went to Yunge Shangdra Province, so is it okay for Makinohara Province to let Baron Hicked take over?"

Lorist nodded: "Appoint Baron Hicked as the governor of Makinoha Province, and arrange to preside over the development of Makinoha Province as planned." ”

Next, Lorist's gaze turned to Director Speer: "Director Speer, starting this year, the family will develop the provinces of Makinohara and Yunge Shangdra, and the development funds needed by these two provinces must be allocated in a timely manner, understand?"

Director Speer stood up and nodded: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will do a good job of financial supervision." ”

The third is Director Codan.

"Director Codan, you are responsible for setting up a patrol system in the Northland and several jurisdictional territories, which is the most important issue related to the security of the family territory, and you must not slack off. This is also the second armed force of the family, and the heads of various towns need to be carefully chosen, otherwise it will affect the reputation and prestige of our Norton family among the people......," Lorist said.

Director Kodan stood up and replied solemnly: "Your Highness, I understand that the candidates for the heads of all places are selected from among the retired officers from the family armed forces, and they have indeed proven themselves to be loyal and reliable to the family. At the same time, I also arranged for them to be trained and then appointed to different places, and they were evaluated and rotated every five years. ”

"Okay," said Lorlist, "as a soldier, you need loyalty and bravery. As patrol officers, they need to be careful, impartial, and law-abiding. In the future, the garrison of the clan will no longer interfere in the administrative affairs of various places, except in the event of natural disasters and riots. And maintaining the order of the family territory and the safety of the people of the domain is left to you patrol police. ”

Director Kodan bowed his head: "Yes, Your Highness, we will do our best." ”

"Well, Malek, it's your turn next, tell me about the current situation of the four major legions of the family. ”

The expressionless Marek stood up, opened a white folder in his hand, and began to report: "Your Highness, according to the overall plan of our armed forces, the Rock Legion has arrived on Hilois Island by ship, and they will spend the rainy season on the island before setting off for Ametrin Port, waiting for the results of the battle between the North Sea Fleet and the Invincible Fleet of the Commercial Alliance before deciding on the itinerary, whether to reinforce His Majesty the King or land in the city of Morent needs to be decided separately."

The Flying Tigers and the Cavalry Huntsmen have reached the city of Vandenas in the province of Delemk, and after the rainy season they will reach the port of Ametlin by land, and May 20 is the date of arrival for both legions, which should have a few days of room for the two cavalry legions. The Guards Regiment was tasked with logistical supply this time, and they were also the first of our family's armed forces to set off. According to Shin Ying, they used the winter sled to reach the Liushui River, where they set up a base camp for logistical supplies.

The head of logistics for the four main armies of the family armed forces this time is still Baron Camorra, who will sit in the armed forces department to manage the allocation and dispatch of all logistics and heavy materials for the expedition. Commander Telman and I will continue to be responsible for reorganizing the garrisons of the provinces of the Northlands and the Territories so that they can become a reliable family force as soon as possible. ”

Lorist nodded with satisfaction, motioned for Malek to sit down, and then looked at Telman who was sitting next to Malek: "Telman, did you annoy you by not letting your knights go on the expedition? It's been two times since the knights played, and your knights complain a lot......"

Telman stood up with a red face: "Your Highness, our Angry Bear Knights obey the family's arrangement, but we are indeed looking forward to the battle and make meritorious contributions to the family......"

Lorist waved his hand: "Telman, it's not that I don't want the Knights of the Angry Bear to fight, but the family territory needs a reliable armed force to sit in. I asked you to take up the position of executive deputy minister in the Ministry of Armed Forces, not to make you a fierce general who only knows how to charge, but to help Malek complete the reorganization of the garrison corps in various territories as soon as possible. At the same time, the members of the Order also work part-time on law enforcement missions. Judging from the current situation of the various main forces of the family army, there is indeed no more suitable force than the Angry Bear Knights to stay in the family territory. Don't worry, there will be a chance for you to fight in the future. ”

Telman gave a knightly salute: "Your Highness, I am also looking forward to the day when I will fight." ”

Lorist tapped his fingers on the table: "In fact, the key to our battle this time lies in the North Sea Fleet, Marek, at the end of February, Sambarwood reported on the situation of the North Sea Fleet's two encounters with the Invincible Fleet, and asked for punishment to be responsible for the loss of two lightning warships, four large armed warships and nearly a thousand soldiers who died, does the Armed Forces Department have any results and opinions?"

Malek stood up again: "Your Highness, after investigation, the Ministry of Armed Forces believes that the losses of the North Sea Fleet in the second encounter are not the responsibility of Admiral Sambawood, and there is no mistake in his command. The loss of six battleships was due to the trap of the enemy. On the contrary, after escaping, the North Sea Fleet under the command of Admiral Sambarwood fought very well. In this regard, Admiral Sambarwood has no fault. ”

"So do you think it's possible for the North Sea Fleet to defeat the Invincible Armada and escort our family to the city of Moriente?"

"It's a bit difficult. Malek thought for a while and replied: "Your Highness, the fourth squadron of the Invincible Fleet stationed in the Zangjin Bay has clashed with the North Sea Fleet twice, and now the Fourth Fleet has been disabled by the North Sea Fleet, but the Invincible Fleet still has two detachments in the southern seas. Although Admiral Sambawood burned all the ships of the Third Fleet during the surprise attack on the port of Elniba, the number of ships of the Arma would still be overwhelming if the First and Second Fleets returned to the Hidden Golden Bay. We have too few mine-strike battleships, and now there are only fourteen left......"

"There is no need to consider the problem of warships, the Oxhorn Bay shipyard has been renovating the rest of the warships day and night, and Master Sid has also cast nearly 300 bronze guns, at present, sixteen whaling ships have been transformed into large lightning warships, and by the end of April, there are more than 80 large and medium-sized armed warships that will be equipped with bronze guns. The renovation of the battleship and the armament of the bronze cannon alone cost the family an additional two million gold fords. With these ships, I think that victory over the Armada should not be a problem. Lorist said with some smugness.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, I hope that the North Sea Fleet can lure the Invincible Fleet out of the Zangjin Bay for a decisive battle at sea, and then attack the Zangjin Bay after defeating or destroying the Invincible Fleet, so as to reduce the losses of the North Sea Fleet. However, from the perspective of combat power, the biggest weakness of the North Sea Fleet is the lack of high-end combat power. As Admiral Sambarwood reported, a great swordsman slaughtered the entire crew of a Lightning Strike ship......"

A sinister smile appeared on Lorist's face: "High-end combat power, no problem, I, Reddy, and the Great Swordsman of Theseus will also go to the island of Hilovas after the rainy season, and we will take the guard battalion to board the ship to assist." Hehe, I really want to see if the Armada will have a Juggernaut in charge. ”
