"If we go to war directly, we don't have enough troops!"

Duke Putao tilted his head and shrank his head with a hesitant face, and it was very ugly to say that the fat man's mention would not work.

Although he is now the monarch of the prestige of the Putao people, the number of troops under his command is less than 8,000 killed, and 6,000 of them are rookies who have not even touched weapons before, it is more useful to take such a group of people to fight, it is better to drive a group of pigs to fight, as for counting on those corresponding areas to resist the Gangfei people, it is really a fantasy, because even the basic weapon problem cannot be solved," Even in the most powerful Aristid region, there are less than five hundred soldiers who can be gathered, and only one hundred are equipped with weapons, and the rest are wooden farm tools!" Duke Pu Tao said slowly with an ugly face, "Wooden farm tools...... The fat man was a little unexpected

"The Gangfei people are very strict about the iron weapons of Putao, except for the soldiers, no one else is allowed to use iron tools" Duke Putao's face was as embarrassed as if he had been slapped on the soles of his shoes more than a dozen times, "There is only one iron mine in Putao, and in the previous Duchy era, the army was only 25,000 people at most, mainly from the support of the Strait Sea State in the navy, while the Gangfei people got 11,000 people just by garrisoning troops in the Putao Principality, not to mention that there were two full local infantry regiments on the border, with a total strength of 40,000 people"If there is a war, even if we gather all our strength, we may not even be able to hold out for a week!" Duke Putao's face was a little frightened, he had been beaten all over the ground by Gangfei to find his teeth, the original experience was simply a nightmare, the famous general Ramia is nothing to a famous general like Fat Man,

But it is more than enough for a military idiot like the Duke of Shangputau,

Tens of thousands of Gangnon troops poured into Putao, devastated and decayed, and in just one week, they were completely collapsed by the beating of three strikes and five divisions by two. The soldiers reached the capital city of Lisbento, and the Duke of Putao now thought of the terrifying scene when the non-army had just flooded the city, and he felt a cold behind him, at that time, he was paralyzed on the city road by fright, and was dragged away like a dead dog by the loyal guards, "Your Excellency the Duke, don't worry, the strength is not a problem! I can lend it to you!"

The fat man looked at Duke Putao with a smile on his face, like a merchant waiting to sell goods, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "This time the empire helped Putao to send troops, naturally it will not be just empty words." The Imperial Army, which arrived with the naval fleet, had 6,000 men, which, together with the strength of His Excellency the Duke, could reach 14,000 men, which was obviously insufficient to deal with the 40,000 troops of the Gang Inhuman, but that was also in the case of frontal combat."

The fat man's voice stopped, and he looked out at the blue sea outside through the castle window, and said

"Now that the control of the sea area is in our hands, the fleet can tear a gap at any point on the coastline, if it is all thrown into one point. It is absolutely disastrous for the Gangnon people who have the advantage of troops, but are scattered, and with the navy in hand, the supplies and personnel can be replenished at any time."

"That majesty xià means that we take the initiative!"

Duke Putau had a look of joy on his face. His combat ability is not good, but years of education have also taught him what it means for the coastline in hand to be eighty percent of the country's land area bordering the sea. It's like holding a sharp rifling knife in your hand, ready to cut a knife in the fat belly of the shoreline, just an inhuman garrison of 11,000. If you sprinkle it all over the coastline, it's nothing!

"According to the current situation, whoever takes the initiative to attack first will have the advantage!" The fat man's ability to lick his face and talk nonsense has always been a must, not to mention a military idiot like Duke Monputau, "The current situation in Putao is very chaotic, it is obvious that the Gangfei people want to mess up the situation, so that the other Putao people think that they will face extinction if they leave the protection of the Gangnonians, if they have not stood up at this time, it will not be long before the Gangfei people will gain the support of all the Putao people in a peaceful manner!"

"This ...... What can I do?

Duke Putao's face turned pale, this guy was really fooled, in fact, he was also worried about this matter, just non-human doves occupy the magpie's nest, coupled with the pervasive softening work in various areas of Putao in the past six years, half of the hearts of the people of Putao are attached to Gangfei, if this self-directed and self-staged plan to quell the chaos is implemented, the people of Putao will not all run to Gangfei's side, for this, Duke Putao has not eaten well for three days, slept well, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw that he was guillotined by the people of Putao, and an executioner wearing a high spire looked at him and sneered,

There are a lot of people under the stage, all of them are Putao people!"Kill him!

'Kill this idiot!'

Below the platform was a tsunami of mountains, and Duke Putao saw a cold light falling all over his body, and a head shot out of his headless chest, and he was directly awakened, "Where is the largest seaport on the North Road of the Principality of Putao?" The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked Duke Putao with a mysterious face, "Your Majesty is saying...... Lisbonto!"

When Duke Putao said the name of this place, his eyes were bulging, if it wasn't for the fact that his right hand quietly twisted his thigh, and the severe pain reminded him, he really doubted that he hadn't woken up, or the falcon in front of him was just a fake,

Duke Putao looked left and right at the fat man's ill-intentioned gaze, and finally could only accept that this guy in front of him was a genuine falcon majesty, no wonder he would think like this, even if he was a military idiot, he also knew that the Lisbernto tragedy shook the entire Putao, it is said that the city was burned in the turmoil and almost ruins, the falcon majesty used this as a landing point, it is simply a waste of control of the coastline, this natural strategic advantage, and most of the inhuman army is gathered near Lisbonto, once the army chooses to land here, it is tantamount to sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger, the other party will inevitably encircle Lisbento and tear the landing force to pieces。 "Do you think I must be crazy?" The fat man raised his head and glanced at Duke Putao, who was staring at him with eyes that were about to bulge out, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, this is the effect he wants, the main target of the Falcon Empire is Gaul, it is impossible to completely tear his face with Gangfei for such a small place as Putao, the best result is naturally to be able to pull Putao out of the annexation of Gangfei, and finally force Gangfei to give up the plan to annex Putao. "Don't dare, it's really ...... to set the landing point in Lisbonto" Duke Putao lowered his head under the fat man's gaze, chewed in his mouth for a long time, and couldn't find the words that could describe His Majesty's decision of the Falcon, and finally could only say in embarrassment, "It's too risky!"

The fat man smiled, and his eyes shot like a sharp sword, "Your Excellency, what is the ultimate goal of returning home this time?" "The ultimate goal?"

Duke Putao's face was full of confusion, he didn't know why His Majesty Falcon had such a problem, his ultimate goal was naturally to drive the Gangfei people out of Putao! Or is this falcon in front of him really a fake and shoddy product?

Seeing his unkind gaze, the fat man chuckled at the corner of his mouth, played with the ring on his knuckles with his fingers, and said slowly, "I know what His Excellency the Duke is thinking, but has His Excellency the Duke thought about it, the consequences of expelling the Gangfei people from the Putao will not bring imaginary peace to the Putao, but attract more Putao troops." If you continue to fight endlessly like this, Your Excellency still hopes that you can not only keep your position as duke, but also save Putao from the flames of war!"

"This!" Duke Putao's face changed slightly, and his body shook. With a hint of surprise in his eyes, he suddenly knew why His Majesty Falcon would ask like this, it was not difficult to defeat Putao's garrison in Gangfei, it was difficult. Putao is too close to Gangfei, and in the face of the Putao Principality, Gangfei is inevitable. Just like a giant is absolutely impossible to allow a small hidden danger to exist by his side forever, either crush or control zhì, the strength of the army is not strong, but it belongs to the kind that is enough to crush the general set ten times.

This time Gangfei returned from the southern expedition in vain, if he encountered the defeat of Putao again, the embarrassed and angry Gangfei Emperor would inevitably send more troops to invade Putao to retaliate, the city was destroyed, and the people were slaughtered, at that time, the final result of the Putao Principality was to become a slaughterhouse of Gangfei, and finally it was completely erased from the map, "Please also ask Your Majesty Xià to advise!"

The cold sweat on the Duke of Putao's forehead fell, and he suddenly found himself in a dead end, going forward to die, and he could not live if he retreated! This made the little confidence he had just raised disappear, what was the purpose of his battle? Is it to ruin the whole of Putao?

"This war has not been won or lost from the beginning!"

The fat man glanced at Duke Putao, who was stunned there, and knew that this guy must be very messy now, and the fat man, who was the best at demagoguery, began to suggest small actions as always, pretending to have a solemn expression, and said slowly with great regret I must tell Your Excellency the Duke of Sù, the essence of the war is the continuation of the government, and it cannot be resolved, this is a war in which both sides are seeking to compromise, and the result of a death match is that both sides lose, what you are looking for is a path of compromise, I know that it is difficult, even more difficult than fighting bravely to the death" "Compromise?" Duke Putao muttered in a low voice, muttering to himself, his eyes showing a contemplative luster, as if he had never thought about this question, "Do you know what the heavy armor of light and darkness is? This is also a way of survival for a country" The fat man raised his head, deep like a saint who saw through the world, making people have an urge to slap a few times, this slut said slowly, "You must show the strength to make the gang non jealous, so that the gang non will give up the idea of getting rid of you" The fat man's voice stopped, and he reached out and touched the ashes on the table, like a teacher who is teaching his apprentices" But at the same time, you must also show your sincerity in being willing to reconcile with Gangfei, in order to dispel Gangfeiren's concerns, you can offer to become a military ally of Gangfeiren, the kind for an indefinite period, so that Gangfeiren can rest assured, and Putao can avoid being destroyed by the war of Gangfeiren, and before that, you must save the hearts and minds of Putao, and that place is Lisbento!""Why Lisbento?"

Duke Putao was very fascinated when he heard it, and all his eyes looked at the fat man were worshipping "the teachings of an imperial emperor, let me become a king from a duke" Fifty years later, Putao I, who established the Putao Kingdom, wrote such a sentence in his memoirs: "There is a kind of person who is born to control all things!" "Ha, this product has been hooked!"

The fat man's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice stopped, he deliberately took a deep breath, filtered the logic in his mind, and then continued, "Lisbento is the capital of the principality, and it has just suffered a ruining destruction, the eyes of the entire principality are here, and you have landed in the ruined Lisbonto. This is really the best time to show your determination to restore the Duchy of Pù, you have to let all the people of Putao know that you, the Duke of Putao, have never given up on Putao, even if this place has turned into hell, you are willing to fight for it!" "Indeed, even if it turns into hell, I will fight for my country!" Duke Putao was teased by this sentence, and his eyes were bloodshot

The fat man shook his head. "On the other hand, if you land in Lisbonto with a high profile, the army of the Gangfei people will inevitably swarm, as long as you show the fact that you can rely on the remnants of the city, you can also make the Gangfei army unable to move forward, and your prestige in the hearts of the Putao people will rise greatly" You will become the real monarch in their minds, at that time, even if the Gangfei people suppress it, the shape of the Putao national confrontation against Gangfei can no longer be reversed" The fat man glanced at the Duke of Putao who had entered the state of magic barrier, "Gangfei people will choose to retreat." At this time, if you are willing to conclude a military alliance agreement with Gangfei to completely resolve the problems between them, the Gangfei people will definitely agree! All they want is a solid rear, not a spike deep in their back! I believe that this will not be an obstacle to the Gangfei people who are eager to expand to the south!

"They won't have anything to lose. Even if you can avoid a hard war, you can solve the biggest hidden danger out of thin air, why not"

"As for holding on, it is not a problem, just outside the port of Lisbento is the area controlled by the Imperial Navy. Supplies and reinforcements will arrive by sea, and all you have to do is withstand the pressure and then release the message that you are willing to negotiate peace. In order to get this result before the Gallic Emperor returns to Beijing, the Gallic Military Department itself will be impatient to send people!"

The fat man talked eloquently, and Duke Putao looked shocked

The feasibility of this plan is very great, Duke Putao has affirmed this in his heart, he has dealt with the Ministry of Military Affairs of Gangfei not once or twice, but the Ministry of Military Affairs of Gangfei was the cat that can fiddle with mice at will, and he can do whatever he wants, but this time, he can put it on the same scale with this cat, in addition to the blood boiling, he even has some expectations,

For the first time

Seeing so clearly, a path that can survive both himself and Putao, and what shocked him the most was the seemingly random point of the falcon majesty in front of him, this man who was known as the imperial military god, and his talent in playing with politics and people's hearts was the most terrifying.

It's really incomparable to people, although Duke Putao was a grateful mess in his heart, he also began to doubt the true purpose of the Falcon Empire to help him "If that's the case, then is our previous agreement still valid" Duke Putao gritted his teeth excitedly, and asked in a deep voice with a bold expression, After experiencing betrayal and surveillance, people like Duke Putao will always be wary of others, and some things are better to say in advance, after all, interests are the best connection point, "The agreement is still valid, I helped you keep the principality!" The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, "There are no eternal allies, and there are no eternal enemies!" You and I take what we need!" "It turns out that I still have a place to use!" Duke Putao flashed a trace of comfort in his heart, at this moment, he was glad that he still had use value for the first time, sometimes, people are afraid that they have no value at all, that is also a kind of sadness!

The fat man didn't notice Duke Putao's expression, and his voice paused and said, "Our request is actually very simple, that is, the goods of the Falcon Empire can enter Putao duty-free!"

"That's all?" said Duke Putau with a look of disbelief, such a request was nothing

"Of course not!" said the fat man in a solemn tone

"If there's anything else, please tell me directly!"

Beads of nervous sweat appeared on Duke Putao's face, he had considered the price of defecting to the Falcon Empire, most likely, he would become a puppet of the Falcon Empire like Raphael, but at least he could save a life, but Putao was far away from the Falcon Empire,

The Falcon Empire is strong, but there is no time for any country to weaken, and with time, Putao is not completely without a chance to break away again

"I need an alliance treaty! Anyway, we have also helped Your Excellency, and some alliance benefits are still needed!" The fat man looked at the nervous Duke Putao, and suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be so nervous, we just need to allocate a part of the land to build our own port! The other conditions are really gone" "Is that all!" Duke Putao's eyes blinked, his mouth opened slightly, where was he stunned, compared to becoming a puppet, this is also a condition? Duke Putao has an urge to be grateful, what a benevolent ally!

It's a pity that if this Duke of Putao knew that the slut was famous in the northwest, he wouldn't think like this, the fat man looked at the Duke of Putao who couldn't find the north with excitement, and the corner of his mouth secretly smiled, "As long as the country is opened, then you can't help it! Tax exemption, the merchants of the empire are not like flies that smell the smell, and when the time comes, you will know that standing on the gold mountain but not a grain of gold sand can not get a grain of gold sand is more uncomfortable than crying!"
