"Bump, bump!"

Count Remchat, the high minister of military affairs of the Reich in Gangfei, knocked on the door of the office in front of him, and an old man with gray hair was sitting at the desk in the room to review the papers, and this old man with silver-white hair and almost transparent eyes was Duke Robinsack, the Minister of Military Affairs of Gangfei.

"Lord Duke, do you have something to do with me?" Count Remchat, dressed in a straight blue military uniform, stood in front of the old man, he was about thirty years old,

"What do you think of the empire's battle plan for the south?" Duke Robinsak did not raise his head, to the surprise of Count Remchat, the pen in his hand was writing something on the text, and the silver needle-like hair was full of a mixture of fortitude and the vicissitudes of time,

In front of this veteran commander of the empire, who held hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, even if he was hailed as the fastest rising imperial newcomer in the imperial military circle in recent years, Count Remchatt did not dare to show the slightest sloppy expression

"Fighting south?Lord Duke means crusade against the rebellious Feser?" Count Remshat asked with a stunned expression, he also heard some rumors that the empire had gathered 300,000 troops on the southern border, and the target of the battle seemed to be the empire's old enemy Fetzer,

"Fetzer's navy is very strong, and we still need to cross the strait before we can attack Fetzer's land, but I heard that the navy has suffered heavy losses in the north, and there is no advantage......" Count Mushat said cautiously, it is also helpless to say, the Gangfei Empire, which inherited the bloodline of the former Holy Obaro Empire, has only risen for a hundred years, but it has many old enemies, there is Obaro in the north, and Fetzer in the south, most of these areas are the land of the former Holy Obaro Empire, and the self-proclaimed orthodox Gangfei Empire naturally calls these guys who have turned their backs on the Holy Obaro Empire as rebels.

"That's right, so we've already asked other countries for naval assistance!" said Duke Robinsack, stopping his pen and looking up at Count Remchatt in front of him. His eyes sharpened, and he said slowly, "It was the Duchy of Putao, one of the subject countries of the empire, who came forward to contact us, and the navy was the most powerful Duchy of Lanterst in Central Europe, and they promised to send 50 warships to assist us in obtaining control of the strait.

"The Duchy of Lanterst, the country known as the mercenaries of the sea! a country without any position or sense of honor!" Count Remsciart's face was gloomy, and he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "This time. I'm afraid I'll need a lot of honorarium!"

"5 million gold coins" The corners of Duke Robinsack's old mouth grinned slightly,

"That's a lot of money!"

Count Remchat, who saw this look in his eyes, was silent for a while, although the Gangfei Empire controlled the fertile land of Central Europe and Barrow, the annual financial income was about 40 million, and it cost one-eighth of the financial resources of the empire at once, no wonder a calm person like Duke Robinsack would also show a trace of imperceptible anger on his face, in the final analysis, this is the sequelae of the defeat of the last crusade against the southwest.

The annihilation of the two main fleets of the Empire, nearly 100 warships, and more than 38,000 experienced naval sailors were lost in vain, which made the strength of the Gangfei Navy drop by two levels at once.

In the past, the strait that could be controlled independently can now be controlled only by asking for foreign aid.

Recently news came that the enemy of the Imperial Navy was defeated in the southwest. Ferociously moving southward again, he occupied the island of Kexili, a hub island in the sea, and the situation in the northern seas was said to have become so severe that the Empire had to issue a ban on the sea. All port cities were required to be put into a state of combat readiness, and all merchant fleets were forbidden to enter the northern seas

The impact of this is also obvious, the products from the northern sea are cut off at once, and the prices of goods on the market are high, including the silver ribbon fish, which lives in the coastal flats of the northern seas, and the meat is delicious, and it will be even more delicious if smoked with wine.

Before the initial blockade, the price of silver ribbon fish in the market was 30 silver coins, but now it is close to a gold coin, and the other goods are roughly the same, the loss of the northern seas, the impact on the Gangfei inland may not be obvious, but for the coastal cities including Imperial Kyoto, it is definitely an invisible disaster, at least for many nobles who love food.

The non-aristocratic who inherited the blood of the Holy Obaro Empire are mostly hedonistic, with mellow fragrances, delicacies that seem to dissolve the tongue, heart-pounding music, and graceful beauties.

However, for the soldiers who are not strong, the sense of honor of the millennium makes them feel that the fun they can get in the game of strategy and strategy is not comparable to wine or beauty, and the Count of Remchat is undoubtedly an alternative here, it is said that the good-looking Count of Remchatt not only rises quickly, but also has a large number of lovers, "How many lovers does Your Excellency Count have?" Someone had asked him the same question before, but Remchatt didn't answer immediately, but thought about it with a serious expression, and then replied with a bright smile that was almost cheeky, "If it weren't for the fight, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough!" It seemed a bit exaggerated, but it wasn't entirely bragging. His appearance does give the impression that there is no ambiguity at all.

"Lord Duke, I must have something to do tonight, right? If it's a matter of foreign affairs, I'm afraid I may not be able to do it!"

Remchat said with a serious expression, because he knew that the office he was in was not the official residence of the Minister of War, nor was it even a private residence. Until 400 years ago, this place was a small mountain basin full of salt, and a lord built a beautiful manor on the shore of the lake, and finally was taken into custody by the Empire.

Because the location is in the bustling area of the suburbs of Kyoto, many people are working on the idea of a beautiful manor, but there is no way to start, because there are rumors that this manor is the property of the emperor, that is, the property of the emperor, but Remchatt knows that the emperor who lives a strict life almost never comes here, and only some important foreign envoys come to Beijing will be arranged here.

"Foreign affairs?" Duke Robinsack looked at him with blazing eyes, flashing a hint of imperceptible appreciation, and in order to cover up, he coughed dryly, "There is indeed a foreign affairs that needs to be solved urgently, since you have brought it up." Then I'll hand it over to you!"

"Do you know about the Falcon Empire that has just risen in the north?" Duke Robinsack asked in a deep voice

"I know something!" Remshat nodded solemnly, although he was far away from the Gangfei interior of the Northern Front, he had also heard about this emerging and rising empire, not to mention that it was this country's navy that had inflicted heavy damage on the Imperial Navy.

Remsha said slowly with some confusion, "I heard that it is from a country on the northwest coast and is fighting against the Gauls, but what does this have to do with us?"

Duke Robinsack's face was silent for a moment, and he picked up a report on the table, "This is the border report I just received, the Fifth Legion on the northern border has been routed by the Falcon Imperial Army, and the commander of the legion, Rumia, was killed in battle. Although I have urgently mobilized two corps to the north, on the whole, the situation is very unfavorable for us! Because the main force of the empire brought by His Majesty the Emperor is assembled on the southern front, we can only hold on, but cannot gather forces to launch a counterattack against it, and the opponent's army has already penetrated 200 miles into the border, so we have sent people to demand that we recognize its actual control of the southwest of the Gauls, otherwise. It will continue to go deeper, and the opposing naval fleet will also target Imperial Kyoto."

"What!"

Remchat's expression was horrified, and his mouth was wide open, like a goose whose neck had been pinched. Ramia is a famous general of the empire, and the Fifth Legion under his command is even more than the ordinary legion, with a super-large legion of 150,000 people. Even Ramia was killed in battle

The enemy army penetrated 200 miles into the border, which means that the northern frontier of the empire completely collapsed. It's terrible, you can imagine what a tragic scene the current northern border will be,

"His Majesty the Emperor has acquiesced to this agreement, but it is the will of the previous kings to recover the southwest of the old land and restore the glory of the original Holy Obaro Empire, so it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to come forward blatantly!" Duke Robinsak looked at his exaggerated expression with a solemn gaze, and pointed at Remchat, "Now that His Majesty the Emperor is about to launch a full-scale attack on Fetzer on the southern front, you are specially assigned to sign this non-public agreement with the Falcon Empire!"

"Why me?" said Remchatt, stunned

"Because among the personnel left behind in Beijing by the Imperial Military Affairs Department, except for me, the minister, you are the only one who has a bit of weight!" Duke Robinsack narrowed his eyes slightly, "There is intelligence that the other party is not just intimidating,

It is a fact that the other side has taken full control of the border, and our army is powerless to fight back, but it is not necessarily that there will be a full-scale aggression immediately! However, according to our reliable intelligence lurking in the northwest sea city,

There is a large-scale troop movement between the southwest and the Rasti region, and it is obvious that the other side is preparing for a large-scale attack plan!"

"What is the so-called large-scale ......?"

Remchatt gritted his teeth and asked stubbornly, since he was going to carry the black cauldron, he also wanted to know if he was worth it

"More than 500,000 troops, no! If you include the naval fleet, maybe more than 500,000. ”

Duke Robinsack's eyes flickered, his almost pale blue pupils flashed white light, for the gang non-people who didn't know the Falcon Army's change of defense plan, it was easy to see the replacement of defense as an army gathering "500,000!"

Remsit swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, for this newcomer in the imperial military world, it would take a few seconds to swallow the meaning of this sentence, "No wonder, no wonder it was so urgent that he was even pulled in at night to sign a contract!" Remsit woke up, he didn't even have the most basic heart of resistance, even the Gangfei Empire could not mobilize such a huge military force overnight, this is not only a matter of quantity, but also involves the ability to organize, manage, dispatch, and use. Does the Falcon Empire have such an ability? In any case, this is indeed an irresistible force.

It is no wonder that even Robinsark, a veteran commander like Robinsack, thinks that the situation is not good for the Empire, in such a situation, if it drags on for a second, there may be civilians on the border being slaughtered, and the brutality of the Falcon Army has been vividly reflected in the attack on the island of Cassily, in addition to the sinking of the Seventh Fleet of the Navy in charge of the island of Cassily at that time, 7,400 sailors were killed, and more than 34,000 merchants and residents on the island of Kasili were also slaughtered. "Go ahead, the representative of the other party is already in the living room!"

Robinsack said to Remchat, then lowered his head and continued to sign the approval, but Remsat saw that the pen in the hand of the Minister of War did not know why, and could no longer write, only the dry pen marks slid on the leather paper "Shame on the country!" Remschatt stood up. Silently open the door to the room

In the living room, Remsit saw the messenger of the Falcon Empire, a one-eyed dragon full of murderous aura, you can feel it from its fierce oppressive force, this is definitely a fierce battlefield killer, the bloody aura of disregard for life and death can be clearly smelled from more than ten meters away, "Your Excellency is?"

Salon looked at Remchat, his cloudy one-eyed eyes were shining, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, which was his style, he was a typical martial artist. Although he is a little clever, he has always been relatively rough in terms of politics and strategy, and he didn't suddenly react until he was on the road, and he was played by the Falcon Majesty!

Tens of thousands of rout troops want to kill all of them without leaking, it is absolutely impossible, once the rout army is scattered, running around, no one can stop it, and His Majesty Falcon is undoubtedly very aware of this situation. But he still sent the Dongting cavalry to raid the border,

The first is to use the cruel tactics of the Dongting people to deter the Gangfei Empire, gain the initiative in the situation, and show the fierce offensive of the Empire. On the other hand, His Majesty Falcon does not want the war to expand indefinitely, and if it really creates a situation of all-out war, it will be difficult to clean up.

In exchange for the Falcon Empire's de facto control over the southwest region in exchange for the withdrawal of the offensive Falcon Army to its original borders, this was still acceptable to the Gangfei people. It is said that the main force of the Gangfei people fought in the south, and Salonn only knew about it after arriving in Gangfei Kyoto, so Salonn has always been very careful to maintain the strength it should be, "Gang Fei Military Affairs Department Gang and other affairs officer Remschart, the emperor Xià is not in Kyoto, so I am responsible for this signing!" Remsit was a little hairy by Salon's one-eyed eyes, and the image of the other party was really worthy of the name of this brutal and bloody empire, and his tone was a little weaker, "Since this is the case, then sign the contract, I have to rush back!"

Salon's face softened a little, and he made a gesture to Remsciat to sit down, and the entourage on both sides each placed the treaty in front of each other, Remsciat pretended to look at the article, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw the chilling one-eyed one eye of Salon on the other side, he couldn't say it anymore, and after staring at the text of the treaty that was destined to embarrass him for half an hour, Remsciat was very unwilling to sign his name on it, and the attendants picked up the text and exchanged it with each other, and each kept a copy of it" When are you going to go back?" Remsit took a deep breath and asked, "In a few days, my majesty has said that I, a hillbilly who has never seen the prosperity of Kyoto, have a chance, but I want to take a look at it more!" The corner of Salon's mouth grinned, and his one eye showed a hint of fierceness, "Is your country so eager to drive people away? Well, we can be regarded as a truce now! We all have our own interests, don't we?"

"No, it's just that Kyoto has not been peaceful recently, with such an important mission, I hope your envoy can pay attention to safety!" Remshat gritted his teeth with a look of remorse and said, since the island of Kaxili was forcibly occupied, Gangfei Kyoto has also set off a wave of anti-falconry empire, but after all, it is too far away from the falcon empire, and this trend did not last long before it subsided, but this does not mean that once someone knows that the envoy of the falcon empire is in Kyoto, there will not be some young people who are too patriotic to jump out

"It doesn't matter, if there is really an accident, I believe that many people will bury me for me!"

The corners of Salon's mouth laughed, this senior affairs officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs is so interesting, he is still threatening himself, of course Salon, who was born as a mercenary, is not afraid of any hot-blooded young man, not to mention that there are a hundred imperial guards who accompanied him this time, most of them are masters of the army who kill people like numbness, there are really a few people who don't open their eyes, and they will be killed if they are killed

The next day, Saron took a dozen guards dressed as mercenaries to walk around Gangfei Kyoto, as a big empire of Kyoto, Gangfei Kyoto is undoubtedly very prosperous, Saron's first target is the best weapon shop in Kyoto, pù,

Because of the general dress, the shop pù guy didn't care much about the Salons gang at first glance is a barbarian with obvious violent tendencies, for the shop pù guys, most of the barbarians are dressed like this, in most cases, they are all shouting fiercely in their mouths, in fact, they don't even have a gold coin in their pockets, so they just randomly took out a few snake-shaped stabbing swords that can still be seen in the past to introduce, the serpentine stabbing sword is a unique weapon of just non-human beings, the front end is sharp and abnormal, the handle is elliptical, like a handguard shield, not suitable for battlefield fighting, but suitable for personal wear, the reason why the guy took out the stabbing sword that is not suitable for slashing, itself is also with a little bit of the idea of fooling these barbarians, these barbarians have seen any good goods, nothing more than seeing a weapon that can pierce armor as a divine weapon

Salon picked up a serpentine stabbing sword with some disdain, bent the tip of the sword in his hand and bent an arc, and suddenly stabbed down on the armor next to him as a test, and actually pierced the armor that looked silver and shiny with a light send, although it was only a light armor that didn't look thick, it also made Salon's eyebrows frown slightly,

"What a sharp bayone, but it shouldn't be able to be used to sweep and slash, right?" the fellow, who had always been thick and thin, secretly admired,

He knew that, like himself, Hukochili was sent by the fat man to Gallic Kyoto, and a piece of information about Gaul was highly appreciated by His Majesty the Falcon, and with a report on the military, geography, products, routes, and customs of the Gallic Empire, by the beginning of the spring of next year, the general person in charge of the attack on the right wing of Gaul must be Hukochili.

"Do you want to buy it or not, a 30 silver coin, if you don't want it, please leave!" Looking at the annoying one-eyed dragon customer, he swept a few times with a snake-shaped stabbing sword as a wooden stick without any scruples, and the face of the shop pù guy immediately turned green, although it was just an ordinary color, but it was also a weapon made of good Wuhan Iron and Steel, a well-known brand, it could be stabbed but not cut, let alone waved clumsily, if one of them was damaged, his salary this month would be all wasted

"Garbage, I want 5 gold coins for a handful! Isn't there a better weapon just now!" Saron pulled down his face suddenly, and took out a Samor war knife from the guard next to him, and slashed it violently, the blade flashed, and the two serpentine swords were cut off on the spot

"You ......" The guy looked at the broken serpentine sword, his eyes almost didn't explode, although the stabbing sword couldn't be chopped, but it was enough to block, how could it be shattered with one blow, he remembered that the last time he was also a brute with brute strength, he hit five times with a huge wolf fang, and he didn't break the gauntlet of a stabbing sword, and finally bought one as a treasure with a smile. (To be continued......)
