Twilight of Empires (5)
Galul Western Front Operational Department
Located in the southwest of the western mountain city of Bickley, the Pombert Manor, this manor covers an area of more than 1,000 meters long and wide, built along the flat land of the mountain uplift, composed of five groups of distinctive buildings, among which the blue room in the center is the most famous, if the scenery is concerned, the east hall and the south hall are the most pleasing to the eye with the back of the mountain canyon waiting on the bank of a gurgling mountain river.
Another important reason why Hasenlimpo used this place as the headquarters of the legion was that the location of the Pombert estate happened to be located on the slope of the corner between the Andesk Mountains and the mountains of the Western Front, and from here you could see the vast plain below, and you could see the entire Western Front at a glance.
Although Hasenranpo expressed great opposition to the abandonment of the middle tier city area at the meeting, he also had to admit that the strangulation of the middle tier city area caused a great burden to the imperial defenders, and the city area was horizontally cut by the Falcon Empire army with large warships, and the cities were separated from each other and could not be supported, so they could only fight on their own, while the Falcon Army could use the river to take it, use warships to transport troops, and carry out key attacks, forming an unstoppable sweep, which was enough to cause the city wall advantage of the middle tier city area not only could not be relied on, but fell into an extremely terrible disadvantage,
Hasenlimbo's only expectation for the middle line is to delay as much time as possible.
On the Western Front, it took three months of the whole winter, plus one month of sacrificing the Eastern Front and the Central Front, a full four months, 250,000 soldiers and 400,000 civilians, built a dense network of small fortresses, in the morning confused land, like a newly germinated seed protruding from the ground ground.
Mountains, cliffs, woodlands, and rivers on both sides are like falling pieces on a huge chessboard, and solid defense points are quickly pulled up. The western front is an easy and difficult mountain area, the huge Andesk Mountains form a gradually rising curve here, the mountains are full of ups and downs, and the canyons are dense, even if you overcome the first outer barrier, you will immediately find that you need to face a larger barrier, according to Hasenlimpo's estimate, if the Falcon wants to force a breakthrough of this terrible defensive line, it will need at least twice as many troops as the defenders, and more than 3 months. There are also a large number of dead and wounded as a cost.
There is nothing strategically wrong in abandoning the urban areas of the middle line, which are becoming a burden, and dragging the main battlefield into a fortified western front that is beneficial to the side.
"If it weren't for being a Gaul, I might have longed for such a great monarch!" Hasenrimbaud stood at the window and looked at the confused mountains outside, the earth was as vast as a huge futon, thinking of the slightly chubby figure that he saw in the mountains that day, which made thousands of subordinates tremble for it, his heart was faintly touched, and the corners of his mouth smiled bitterly.
The Kyoto side was afraid of the overseers sent by them to monopolize power, the suspicious and suspicious attitude of the local garrisons below, and the desire of the Kyoto aristocracy to seize power all revolved around their backs. Countless dark arrows pulled the bowstring behind his back, and he didn't know when he would fall,
The situation of the general's centrifugation is far worse than the bad news brought by the Falcon Army's capture of the mid-tier cities. It made the famous general of the empire feel even more heartbroken, whether he could still resist the iron hooves of the falcon king's conquest this time, the empire had truly lost the vast west. With a population of nearly 10 million, and the entire western barrier that took countless painstaking efforts to build in the early days of the empire,
These lost things are providing shocking power to the Falcon Empire opposite, while the empire is still entangled in the so-called "power and interests", and there is no such thing as the unity and unity of the Falcon Empire on the other side.
At that moment, he really wanted to get rid of the annoyance that had annoyed him, and returned to a secluded valley he had seen in the eastern war field, where he had built a manor, and last month, his youngest son, whom he loved the most, wrote to say that it was snowing and silvery everywhere. Beautiful, my sister was admitted to the Imperial Kyoto School with excellent grades, and was also awarded the coat of arms of the Imperial Honorary Staff Officer, which is a title given by the Imperial Military Affairs Department to those military cadets who have made outstanding contributions, and everyone in the family is proud of it,
For this unexpected good news, Hasenrambo was slightly cold, sitting alone in the room reflected in the sunset, his daughter's grades were very average, it was already inconceivable to be admitted to the Kyoto Military School, which had always been far away from outsiders, and it would be even more fantastic to award the Imperial Honorary Staff Officer in advance, no matter how you look at it, there are many hostages! The distrust of the empire is his most painful pain, the once powerful empire, like yesterday's yellow flower, the end of the empire's three hundred years of prosperity, showing a gray and black future, confused and unable to see the way back,
In Hasenrimbaud's office, Andaline, who was dressed in a neat and slim blue uniform, walked in with a stack of papers, her figure was slightly paused, and her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of pain.
Andalyn looked very unhappy and said, "Teacher, which lady of the prison army wants to see!"
This month, Hasenrambo's weight loss is strict, staying up all night, arranging strategies, facing the aggressive momentum of the Falcon Army, with the defeat of the Imperial Army on the Eastern Front, the already thin body is now like a wooden pole, only the eyes are like a bloody sword, it is a weak, burning sign of life, it seems that it may fall at any time!
"Algernon Julia! this woman is finally here!" Hasenrimbaud withdrew his gaze from the distant view, and turned from the window with frowning eyebrows, he was disappointed by the indisputability within the Empire, and he was also very puzzled by Algernon Giulia's practice of separating offices.
"The thunderous shot should be for Liwei, but afterwards he put on a clear attitude, did he want to express his disdain for himself?" The night when the woman suddenly broke into the meeting was a night when he felt very sad and angry, and the anger was not that the other party coldly and directly overturned the defense plan that he had spent three days and three nights thinking about, but that during the whole process, no one spoke, not even a person who dared to stand up to support the commander, all the people's eyes were cold as if they were watching a clown farce, and Hasenranpo felt like one, resisting the will of the whole of Kyoto,
"I really don't want that woman to say it, Andaline. You must have added it yourself!" said to Hasenranbo, smiling slightly, to the female disciple who was bending over the table
"The other party did use the word "seeking", and Miss Algernon Julia also claimed that if the adults did not want to see her, she would not be reluctant!"
Andalyn was very serious, and said with a strange expression, "To be honest, I don't like this woman, but it looks like this woman is in trouble! It seems that I set off from Midoriya overnight last night!"
"Came from Midoriya overnight?haha, I didn't expect something to make this woman feel scared!"
Hasenrampo thought of the letter handed over by himself, shook his head disappreciatively, and said with a bit of self-deprecation, "The invitation of the Falcon King, sure enough, even the most cold-blooded people feel uncomfortable, which enemy emperor who never plays cards according to common sense, I don't know what crazy he is this time, and he actually thought of inviting this woman to enjoy the piano art, but it is really surprising." Unexpectedly, when this woman was only sixteen years old, she had changed her name and surname and infiltrated Kyoto in the enemy of the empire, and it really made my soldiers who had fought against the Central Belians for more than ten years feel ashamed, until now. I don't even know in which direction the gate of the Hundred Miles Court opens!"
"The teacher is too modest, if it weren't for the hard work of the imperial soldiers like the teacher, the expansion of the Central Biya would have encroached on the eastern part of the empire long ago, and that woman would have been able to do it no matter how capable. Three years of diving can help the empire!" Andalene pursed her lips with disdain, according to Hasenranpo's habit. Spread out the first document on the table and prepare the pen
"Behind his back, people are always bad, go and invite her in!" Hasenranpo waved his hand, sat down at the desk, and teased, "The other party has the emperor's warrant and the power to supervise a qiē, we can't afford to provoke it!" As for Algernon Julia's visit, although it was expected, it was more of an accident, did that woman really want to risk going to the meeting? Probably not, Hasenranpo couldn't be sure, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like that woman's character! In the battle of the southwest, I heard that this woman's layout was to let the Falcon King cut it off with one sword, and enter the southwest without blood, so that this woman fell short.
"Lord Hasenrambo, although I know that I am not liked, but the matter is urgent, I can only come in person!" Algernon Julia pushed open the door and walked in, with a rare solemnity on her pretty face, and bowed to Hasenlampo for the first time
"What are these words, Lord Warden, if such words are spread, it will form a discordant influence on outsiders! And I personally will never impose personal grudges on the state" Hasenlimpo stood up in surprise, it was a return gift to Algernon Giulia, it was really beyond his expectations, it seems that this woman really has something to ask for, which has to be treated with caution. "Then I'll be relieved!" Algernon Julia said in a solemn tone, and sat down on the couch opposite Hasenlampo, and glanced at Andaline next to her, as if she had something more important to say
"Andaline, you go out first!I'm sure Lord Overseer won't be unfavorable to me!" Hasenranpo seemed to sense something, looked at the disciple next to him with a wary look and waved his hand, Andalene walked to the door very reluctantly, and glanced at Algernon Julia on the sofa viciously, for her provocation, Algernon Julia's face was rarely calm, and she already had a mortal confidant in her mind, where was she in the mood to care about Andalen's expression
"Lord Hasenrambo single-handedly stopped the iron hooves of the Falcon Army, and under the incomprehension of everyone, this unparalleled painstaking effort to turn the tide and fall, Algernon Giulia knew very well that the previous offense on the other side was really a last resort!"
"The current danger of the empire, in addition to the Falcon Empire, is also the attack of the Slavs, the ambitions of the princes of the Quartet, and the dumping of Kyoto!"
When Andaline left, Algernon Julia took out the letter from her arms with an apologetic face, "Maybe adults don't know yet, some nobles in Kyoto are brewing a conspiracy to rebel, only by decisively giving up the middle line and getting out of the mud, can the empire preserve this military power that shocks Kyoto, for this reason, Algernon Julia can only do it once to make people annoying!"
"There is such a thing!"
Hasenrimpo's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment, and the Algernon Julia in front of him exuded an awe-inspiring aura, and although she was a woman, she showed that she was rarely able to see it. The Gallic Empire has been indomitable for three hundred years, and the powerful momentum of forging ahead to expand the territory, this cold woman may be the real backbone of the Gallic Empire!"
"Adults should have read this letter!"
Algernon Julia looked grim, her delicate body stood up from her seat, put the letter respectfully in front of Hasenlampo, and said in a deep voice
"For the Falcon King's invitation, I have decided to attend this meeting with the Falcon King in person, just in time to see what the Empire's greatest enemy looks like, the Battle of the Southwest. I still remember it vividly, women are very vindictive!" Algernon Julia smiled sweetly, the corners of her mouth full of self-deprecation,
"The main reason is that the Empire can't let this Qianyun stay in the world anymore, someone has to do it, and at the moment, it seems that I am the most suitable person!" "What do you mean? You're going to assassinate this Qianyun yourself?" Hasenrampo looked stunned, confused, Qianyun?Does the luthier who appeared in the letter have anything to do with this meeting?" I once helped His Majesty the Emperor to treat under my recommendation!"
Algernon Julia had a grim face, stretched out her hand on the table, took a deep breath, and bit her teeth on her rosy lips. Extremely difficult to say in a choppy
"The emperor's illness is the greatest worry of the empire! An empire without heirs is like a huge chariot running at high speed with a broken rope. With the empire in such a shaky situation, once the emperor has an accident, the empire will collapse like a crumbling edifice!"
"Lord Overseer!" Hasenrambo's straightened and solemn shoulders trembled slightly,
"On the western front of the empire, there can be no weak girl like me Algernon Julia, but it must not be without the iron bones of adults!" Under the solemn gaze of Hasenranpo, Algernon Julia straightened her collar, stood up, and respectfully saluted Hasenranpo, "As the emperor's affairs officer, I must not sit idly by and watch something that shakes the emperor's foundation happen! Even if I fight for my life, I must remove this thousand clouds for the emperor!" This time, I deliberately set out to meet Lord Hasenlimbo in the hope that no matter what the prospect of this battle is, I only hope that my lord can still maintain his original military nature, and before leaving Midoriya, I have already submitted a report to the emperor and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Ministry of Military Affairs will soon remove me from the post of supervising the army! I ask your forgiveness for the inconvenience and trouble caused before......!"
"Your Majesty! The Gauls have replied."
An imperial guard took a letter, walked through the long corridor, pushed open the door of a room, as the door opened, a crisp piano sound that made people lose their minds came to the face, the fat man closed his eyes and sat on a long-topped nanmu chair, in another section of the room, the luthier Qianyun wore a long robe and long robe of the Zhongbian, a long white belt was tied around his waist, his head was held in a black high bun, and he knelt on the ground in an otherworldly manner, and a remade sycamore xylophone was placed in front of her, and the ten fingers were like waves flipping, and the graceful sound of the piano was like the gurgling water in the mountains, filling the whole room,
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the fat man's eyes opened, and the sound of Qianyun's piano also stopped abruptly. The two are like a thread in my heart
"Sorry, it looks like I'll have to leave for a while!"
The fat man took a deep breath, his majestic body stood up from his seat, and smiled apologetically at Qianyun opposite, Qianyun didn't say anything, just the seductive eyes behind the white gauze scarf, from light to dark,
In her heart, she has already decided that the fat man is a descendant of Central Belgium, and it can be seen from the expression of the respectful attendant that the fat man is also a very high-status army general.
Bringing herself here from the southwest region hundreds of miles away, just to listen to her own piano skills, and to be able to send troops to protect it, it is enough to show that her identity is extraordinary, Qianyun is a very introverted person, and she can't understand the language of those attendants, otherwise, she will hear these people call this fat man "Majesty"
Coming out of the room, the fat man took the Gaul's reply from the Imperial Guard,
Opening the letter, the fat man's gaze swept over, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, "This woman, sure enough, was seduced!" Speaking of which, the timing of Algernon's arrival was really timely, and he was still worried about how to attract the attention of the 200,000 troops on the western front of the Gauls, the arrival of this woman with a pivotal position in Gaul was undoubtedly a gift from God.
The Gallic emperor suffered from a mental illness of Yan zhòng, which the fat man had long known to Angelio,
But letting the Gallic emperor die early is undoubtedly not in line with the current situation of the empire, and the main force of the empire is still blocked by the Hassenrambo line in the Rastisi line
Even if the Gallic emperor dies, the chaos of the fertile hinterland of Gaul will only cheapen speculators like the Slavs,
On the contrary, it may provoke a frantic counterattack by the Gallic army on the Western Front,
It was only by opening the door to Lust that the empire was truly on the same starting line as these speculators. (To be continued......)
