In the back garden of the Grand Duke's Mansion, when the bright moon was in the sky, Ouyang Yu and Avril sat together in a conservatory made of glass, drinking tea and chatting.

"Sister Ouyang, look, there is another flash of light near the blue moon. ”

The simple, naïve Avril doesn't have many friends, she likes to hide in the greenhouse alone and watch the moon in the sky when she is fine, there are red, white and blue moons in the other world, in ancient mythology, the red moon represents the goddess of the past, the white moon represents the goddess of the present, the blue moon represents the goddess of the future, and the three goddesses of the past, present and future also represent calamity, The meaning of harvest and luck, these three moons have four months every year to be the closest to the continent of another world, and the first four months of each year are the closest blue moons, so January to April is also called the lucky month, and the next five to August red moon is the closest, during this time there will be heavy rains, droughts, hurricanes and other disasters, so it is also called the month of disaster, and the last nine to December white moon is the closest, these four months are the harvest season, so the last four months of the year are called harvest months.

Avril said that in the past few years, she has always found flashes of light near the blue moon, so she pulled Ouyang Yu to watch on this cloudless night tonight, and when she heard Avril's call, Ouyang Yu looked up at the blue moon, and there were indeed a few small bright spots flashing by.

"Maybe it's the larger asteroid that reflects the sun's rays. Ouyang Yu thought in his heart.

The astronomy of the other world is not very developed, the exploration of its own planet has not yet been completed, coupled with the annual war and the underdevelopment of productivity, almost no one cares about things in outer space.

Ouyang Yu glanced at the blue moon a few times and then stopped paying attention, she said to Avril: "Your Highness, I am going to the Gallic Kingdom tomorrow, do you have anything else to tell me?"

After overthrowing the Zuo Minister, Ouyang Yu monopolized the supply of military rations for the Principality of Lucerne as he wished, but did not take over the original grain market of the Principality of Luxon, but handed it over to Avril and asked her to use the method of the Zuo Minister to control the nobles in the Principality.

Ouyang Yu went to the Kingdom of Gaul again to present Bourbon II's birthday on behalf of Avril, and at the same time reported to Bourbon II how Minister Zuo launched the "coup", seeking Bourbon II's understanding and support, and Ouyang Yu also needed the help of Duke Charles.

The garrison of the Duchy of Lucerne was previously under the leadership of Francis, it was simply a concentration camp for ruffians and hooligans, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, Ouyang Yu took over and cleared at least half of the unqualified soldiers, and the rest were all in retraining, in order to ensure the absolute loyalty of the garrison to himself, Ouyang Yu sent a large number of political commissars to the troops to brainwash, and thoroughly implemented the means of Taizu and his old man's branch to establish in the company, the garrison of the Duchy of Lucerne has been regarded by Ouyang Yu as his own private army, and no one wants to take it away from her, even if it is Avril。

After checking the weapons and equipment of the garrison, Ouyang Yu shook his head, most of the weapons of the garrison are old equipment, and at least half of the annual appropriation of the principality is embezzled by Minister Zuo. The phenomenon of drinking the blood of soldiers is also very serious, it is strange that such an army can fight and win battles, so Ouyang Yu has transferred a large number of systematic soldiers from his army to serve as middle and grass-roots officers of the garrison army.

Therefore, the garrison needs a large number of weapons and equipment to arm itself, considering the unity and logistics of weapons, Ouyang Yu wants to use his own weapons to equip the garrison, and it is impossible for the arms trade to stop permanently, plus she is now a little weighty, so she plans to reopen her arms trade through Duke Charles's dialogue with the military-industrial complex of another world.

Avril tilted her head cutely and thought about it, then smiled, "Have a safe journey." ”

Ouyang Yu was amused by Avril's words, "Thank you." ”

Ten days later, Ouyang Yu entered St. Ives City again, and looking out of the window of the command car, she felt that the people on the streets of St. Ives City were in a hurry and worried, and she had lost the leisurely time she had seen.

This time I stayed in the hotel last time, and even the room was the same room, and at the same time, Ouyang Yu unexpectedly met Gaia and her brother Ouranos.

"Your Excellency Earl Ouyang, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. ”

Gaia and Ouyang Yu hugged gently, and Ouyang Yu didn't say anything, she already knew that Ouyang Yu's title had been promoted, which showed that Gaia's family had an intelligence network for the Duchy of Lucerne, and she already knew about the coup d'état in the Duchy of Lucerne.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency. Ouranos also congratulated Ouyang Yu.

"Thank you. ”

Ouyang Yu entered her room at Gaia's invitation for a small gathering, and when she saw several maids packing up her things, she couldn't help but ask strangely, "What's the matter?" Miss Gaia, are you going back to China?"

"Yes, it may be too late if you don't leave. ”

"Why is that?"

Gaia explained: "The Imperial army has broken through the Ardennes defense line of the Gallic Kingdom, the front line is less than a hundred kilometers away from the city of St. Ives, and I heard that the Gallic coalition army has been defeated again and again, and the Imperial army is advancing at a speed of ten kilometers a day, I believe that the city of St. Ives will soon fall, and we brothers and sisters do not want to become prisoners of the Imperial army." ”

"I see. ”

Ouyang Yu had read the battle report within the coalition army before he set off, and knew that the war situation in the Gallic Kingdom was not very good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, but none of this was her business, she only came to celebrate her birthday and do things this time, and she would leave when the matter was done.

After chatting with Gaia and Ouranos for a while, Ouyang Yu took his leave, now that the Imperial Army had approached the city of St. Ives, he needed to hurry.

Ouyang Yu arrived in the city of St. Ives at noon, and after a short rest, she came to the Duke Charles's office in the afternoon, wearing a coalition military uniform with the rank of colonel, a mustache on her mouth, and gold-wire glasses on the bridge of her nose.

The headquarters was busy, officers and soldiers were hurrying with papers, most of their faces were in a hurry, and before she could knock on the door of Duke Charles's office, she heard a roar coming from inside.

"I don't care what method you use, anyway, I need to get the supplies to the front line by tomorrow morning!"

After the roar fell, several dejected officers walked out of the office, and Ouyang Yu knocked on the door that was not closed, "Hello, Lord Duke." ”

Duke Charles, who was angry, saw Ouyang Yu, who was dressed in men's clothes and had a neutral voice, only felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

After Ouyang Yu saw Duke Charles's puzzled expression, he hurriedly said again in his own voice: "My lord, it's me, Ouyang." ”

"Oh...... Miss Ouyang, no, it should be Your Excellency Countess Ouyang, welcome to you. ”

Duke Charles was still very welcome to Ouyang Yu's arrival, during this period of time, he had made a lot of money by relying on the chemicals sold to him by Ouyang Yu, sulfonamides and anesthetics and professional surgical instruments greatly reduced the mortality rate of the front-line soldiers, and the front-line soldiers were very grateful to him, so after seeing Ouyang Yu, the anger on his face disappeared, and he barely squeezed out a little smile.

"Please take a seat, Your Excellency Earl Ouyang is here for His Majesty's birthday this time, right?"

Ouyang Yu sat opposite Duke Charles' desk, Duke Charles got up and poured her a cup of coffee with some wine, the corners of Ouyang Yu's mouth twitched, he picked it up and took a sip politely, and then beat her to death and would not touch it again.

"Yes, but there are other things I want to ask for your help with besides celebrating Your Majesty's birthday. ”

"Say it, as long as I'm here to help, just say it. Duke Charles seemed to like the coffee mixed with wine, and took a big sip.

"That's right, I am now on the orders of His Royal Highness Avril to rebuild the garrison of the Kingdom of Lucerne, but the weapons of the original garrison are old and lack of heavy weapons, so I hope that I can arm the garrison with my own weapons, but the Federation has taken my production line and forbade me to produce and sell weapons, so I hope that the adults can match me and talk to the people of the Federation about lifting the ban on the production of weapons for me, and I can guarantee that my weapons will only be used to equip the garrison of the Duchy of Luxon and will not be exiled. ”

The Federation is the abbreviation of the official name of the military-industrial complex in another world, the full name is the Continental Material and Commodity Federation, is a trans-national organization, the main members are the big nobles, senior generals and big businessmen of various countries composed of loose alliance, established so far has a history of one hundred and fifty years, the establishment was originally just to balance the vicious competition between businessmen and exchange information, and later more and more businessmen joined, the Federation of more and more power is increasing, but also attracted the participation of big nobles, businessmen and nobles use the influence of the Federation to manipulate the market, The suppression of dissidents has now become a terrible capital monster.

After listening to Ouyang Yu's words, Duke Charles did not answer immediately, but slowly tasted the coffee in his hand and considered the pros and cons of the analysis.

In fact, Duke Charles is a member of the Federation, he also participated in the order to confiscate Ouyang Yu's production equipment and prohibit the sale of weapons, at that time Ouyang Yu was just an insignificant third-class knight, with more than 2,000 mercenaries under his command, in the eyes of these big men they were just an ant, but now it is different, Ouyang Yu helped Avril overthrow Minister Zuo in one fell swoop, controlled the 50,000 garrison of the Principality of Luxon, and also monopolized the supply of military rations for the Luxon coalition army, which had a huge influence in the Principality of Luxon and had the capital to dialogue with the Federation。
