There was silence in the reception room, and Tyutes's face was gloomy, he knew ...... There is no need for Ye Tian to lie, because such a lie is too easy to debunk, and it can't fool anyone at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After being silent for a long time, Tyutes took a trembling breath and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand, why does a country with a population of only 76 million recruit so many soldiers, what do they want to do!"
Smiling slightly, Ye Tian took out a map, laid it flat in front of Qiutes, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty Qiutes, this is the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire, the Red Moon Empire, and the Tianfeng Empire, if you take a closer look, I believe you will find the answer." ”
Lowering his head blankly, looking at the map on the table, Tyutes's expression became more and more serious, in fact...... The territory of the three empires is large, the whole territory is in an irregular triangle, surrounded by oceans, it is a closed continent.
The three empires of Tianfeng, Red Moon, and Silver Wolf each occupy a corner of the continent, and the three kingdoms do not border each other, and there are dozens of small countries in between, and these areas are also the military buffer zones of the three empires.
Now, the Silver Wolf Empire has 100,000 Silver Wolf Knights, as well as a million stragglers scattered under the banners of the major dukes, while the Red Moon Empire has a large population and has 8 million troops, making it an old military empire, but it is just ...... In recent decades, the Tianfeng Empire has risen to the top, and now has an army of 7.6 million, and the reason why it does not continue to expand its army is also because it is afraid of the Red Moon Empire, no matter what, militarily, they dare not surpass the Red Moon, once it triggers the fear of the Red Moon Empire, the consequences are unimaginable.
Looking at the map, Tyutes's face became whiter and whiter, and by now, he had completely understood the plans of the Heavenly Wind Empire, which was simply a greedy monster, with its minions on its teeth!
The goal of the Heavenly Wind Empire is obviously to unify the entire continent, but ...... The Tianfeng Empire is not a success, there are only 76 million people in the country, and once a war is launched with the Red Moon, the light consumption will also consume them.
The Tianfeng Empire has a population of 76 million, while the Red Moon Empire has a population of one billion, although it only has an army of 8 million now, but the Red Moon Empire is an old military power with a long history after all, and it can recruit hundreds of millions of troops at any time, no matter how strong the Tianfeng is, it can only win a temporary victory at most, but the final outcome will inevitably be completely destroyed.
The ambition of the Heavenly Wind Empire is very big, they want to unify the entire territory, and then use this territory as a pedal to unify the entire world, this is their ultimate goal, and if they want to defeat the Red Moon, they must swallow the silver wolf!
Although it has a population of more than 400 million, the silver wolf has been decayed internally, the government decree is not comprehensible, the power is scattered, and the king is completely hollowed out, with the current state of the silver wolf empire, how can it withstand the ravages of Tianfeng's 7.6 million army!
Looking at the map in front of him, Qiutes trembled all over, sweating like rain, he seemed to have seen the wolf-like Tianfeng army swarming, and seemed to see them quickly retreat from the Silver Wolf Empire, and then implement the militaristic idea in the Silver Wolf Empire, according to the ratio of ten to one, 400 million Silver Wolf people will recruit 40 million troops, so that they have the ability to fight with the Red Moon Empire.
Trembling and closing his eyes, Tyutes leaned back in his chair, now ...... He had to wake up, it was already obvious, if Tianfeng really recruited so many troops, then what they had to do next would definitely be just like what he had imagined just now, this was the only way!
Suddenly opening his eyes, Qiutes said categorically: "Mr. Ye Tian, things are really terrifying, but I want to know, how did you know all this, and what evidence do you have to prove that the Tianfeng Empire really has so many troops!"
Looking at Qiutes with a smile, Ye Tian shook his head and said, "Is there evidence......?" But I want to know, even if I have proof, what can you do?"
"This ......" looked at Ye Tian in amazement, and Tyuterston was stunned, yes...... What if there is evidence, what can he do now? In fact, he is just a puppet emperor, even if he is willing to send 100,000 silver wolf knights, but in front of Tianfeng's 7.6 million army, this is nothing at all.
Looking at Cyutes's stunned appearance, Cyutes smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea here, I believe you will be very interested." ”
"Oh! ......," said Tyutes eagerly.
Facing Qiutes's urging, Ye Tian took a deep breath, and then continued: "Actually, I can't come up with any evidence to prove that there are so many people in the Heavenly Wind Empire, but it doesn't matter, what I want to say is that if they have such a large number of troops, then the silver wolf must fight in advance, does Your Majesty agree to this?"
"Of course!" nodded resolutely, Tyutes resolutely said: "If they really have so many troops, and we are still waiting here stupidly, there is only one final result, that is, the silver wolf is completely swallowed by the heavenly wind, and then the army of the heavenly wind will drive the people of the silver wolf to fight the red moon, and let them all die on the battlefield." ”
Speaking of this, Qiutes's face turned grim, and he said coldly: "However, the problem now is that if all this is just made up by you, and Tianfeng does not have so many troops, then ......"
Looking at Qiutes's serious expression, Ye Tian smiled and said, "If not, do you have anything to lose?"
"This ......" Hearing Ye Tian's words, Tyuterston was speechless...... Looking at Qiutes deeply, Ye Tian continued: "Your Majesty Qiutes, you have now lost control of the country, if you want to realize your ideals and revenge, I think ...... You have to wage this war!"
Shaking his head bitterly, Cyutes shook his head and said, "I'll say it one last time, I'm ...... now"
Without waiting for Qiutes to finish speaking, Ye Tian said categorically: "Listen to me, you don't need to use the 100,000 Silver Wolf Knight, in fact...... This battle should be fought by the grand dukes who have private armies. ”
"What!what!" Looking at Ye Tian in shock, Qiutes exclaimed, "Are you crazy?" or stupid...... As I said, I have lost control of them, and it is impossible for them to follow my orders and send troops. ”
"Wouldn't it?" With a cold smile, Ye Tian shook his head and said, "If it is your order alone, it really can't make them send troops, but what if you add benefits?
"The treasury is now poor, and owes a lot of money, and I don't have any money to give them, or ...... You're going to pay?" said Tyutes, shaking his head.
Faced with Qiutes's questioning, Ye Tian did not answer, walked to the table, pointed to the map and said, "Here, here, and here...... There are three large magic crystal mines, and here, here, and here...... There are four small magic crystal mines scattered, and these are currently in the hands of the Heavenly Wind Empire. ”
"You...... What do you mean to say!" Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qiutes finally understood something, and said excitedly.
Nodding, Ye Tian smiled and said, "Now, for those Grand Dukes of the Silver Wolf Empire, they are still immersed in the dream of being the world's number one military power, including Your Majesty Qiutes, so ...... Do you think they would be willing to gather everyone together to plan this matter in your honor, and then promise to share the proceeds of the Magic Crystal Mine with them?"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qiutes stood up excitedly, Qiutes understood that this plan was indeed feasible, in fact...... Although he could not order everyone to do anything, he was a recognized king after all, and once the summoning order was issued, all the Grand Dukes would inevitably come, and no one could not be unmoved in the face of such great interests.
Taking a nervous breath, Qiutes trembled and said, "But, will there be a problem here, what if they see our purpose? What if they are afraid of the Heavenly Wind Empire and dare not go to war?"
Looking at the excited Qiutes, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh, in fact...... From top to bottom, the Silver Wolf Empire is still immersed in the dream of a military power, and it is impossible to wake up.
In this regard, it is very similar to the end of the Qing Dynasty in China, from the emperor to the common people, all of whom regarded themselves as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, recalling the good times when all countries came to the dynasty, but never realized that the country had decayed.
Before the invasion of China, the army vigorously engaged in militaristic ideas, and by the end of the war, the total number of troops invested in China reached 7.6 million, but before that, although the entire political axe was aware of it, it did not care at all.
The current situation is very similar to the history that Ye Tian knows, so Ye Tian is not worried that someone will object, in the face of such huge interests, coupled with the consistent contempt for Tianfeng, this proposal will definitely pass, as long as the proposal comes out, I'm afraid it will be useless for Qiutes to oppose it.
After thinking about it, Ye Tian continued: "Your Majesty Qiutes, once the Grand Dukes send an army, then their military strength in the country will inevitably decrease, and it will be greatly reduced, and when the critical moment comes, you can gather 100,000 Silver Wolf Knights to instantly eradicate all the Grand Dukes' forces and restore the majesty of your royal family with the power of thunder sweeping the cave!"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qiutes's eyes suddenly radiated a sharp essence light, in fact...... From the day he succeeded to the throne, he never enjoyed the majesty of a king, and as early as his father's generation, he had completely lost control of the country.
Tyutes has a dream, no one knows, his biggest dream is to regain the rights and glory that should belong to them, and regain control of the country in the hands of the royal family, this dream, he has been doing it for decades, and now he finally has a chance to come true?
In the excitement, Tyutes still refuses to make a decision easily, the stakes are too great, if one is not good, he will become a sinner through the ages, and after death he will go to heaven, and his ancestors will not forgive him.
Looking at Ye Tian tremblingly, Qiutes said in a deep voice: "That's right, after most of the Grand Dukes' troops are withdrawn, once I mobilize 100,000 Silver Wolf Knights, I can indeed sweep all the Grand Duke's forces in a short period of time, but have you thought about it, what if I transfer 100,000 Silver Wolf Knights at the border pass, and the surrounding countries invade?"
"Hahaha......" Hearing Qiutes' words, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing, and in the midst of laughter, Ye Tian said: "No, Your Majesty Qiutes, you know...... If you really transfer 100,000 Silver Wolf Knights, it must be when the war has already begun, when we are in a big war with the Heavenly Wind, and as the aggressor side, in this situation, do you think those small countries have the courage to attack the Silver Wolf?"
"En?" Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qiutes' eyes suddenly lit up, yes...... Once that time really comes, those small countries will definitely shrink back at home and be in fear, and if they have a guts, they may not dare to move the silver wolf at this time!
Walking back and forth excitedly, Tyutes's brain was running fast for a long time...... Tyutes suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, and he said in horror: "It's not good, just in case...... As soon as our side makes a move, what should we do if those Grand Duke's troops turn around and fight back? Just 100,000 silver wolf knights can't resist it at all!"
Smiling and shaking his head, Ye Tian said in a deep voice: "This is very simple, before the combined army of the Grand Dukes set out, in the name of the king, you declared that the Silver Wolf Empire had entered a state of war, and then ...... After you have eliminated all the forces of the Grand Duke, immediately in the name of the king, the army will be called, and even if the soldiers of the Grand Duke rush back, I am afraid it will not be of much use. ”
"Hahahahaha......" Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qiutes had no doubts, and laughed excitedly, yes...... The fact is that as long as he goes on smoothly step by step, then the Silver Wolf Empire will be in his hands sooner or later.
Looking at Qiutesi's excited appearance, Ye Tian continued in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Qiutes, don't be too happy too early, there is one thing you must pay attention to, the Tianfeng Empire really has an army of 7.6 million, this is not a joke, so ...... Once you have mastered the royal power, you must immediately go all out to recruit an army and form an army of tens of millions, otherwise, once the army of the Tianfeng Empire is all raised and pushed over frantically, the outcome will still not change. ”
Looking at Ye Tian deeply, Qiutes said categorically: "Don't worry, Your Excellency Ye Tian, no matter what your purpose is, I promise you, if the Tianfeng Empire doesn't have so many troops, I will help you destroy them, if they have, I will also destroy them, as my reward to you!"
Smiling and nodding, Ye Tian stood up and said elegantly: "Then I won't bother you, but remember that when destroying the power of the Grand Dukes, you must remember to confiscate their property, which is the source of funds for your future formation of an army, don't lose it, otherwise everything will be over." ”
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qiutes was stunned, to be honest, he really didn't think about it so much, after Ye Tian's reminder, Qiutes suddenly found that there were many things that he could not complete.
Although you are the king of a country, Tyutes is also a human, not an all-powerful superman, many things he is not proficient in, not to mention anything else, just in terms of strategy and tactical deployment, and the planning of strategy, he is too much inferior to Ye Tian, in fact...... He had never seen a greater strategist than the young man in front of him.
Looking at Qiutes' admiring gaze, Ye Tian smiled and nodded, "Okay, Your Majesty Qiutes, everything will be carried out as soon as possible, I look forward to your good news." ”
"Wait!" Seeing that Ye Tian was leaving, Qiutes couldn't help but get anxious, although he already knew what to do, but he only knew the method, how to execute everything, how to tell everyone, he really didn't know.
The whole thing was too complicated, all aspects had to be dealt with, and any one negligence could lead to the failure of the whole plan, and Tyutes knew that he did not have the ability to do it all.
While thinking about it, Qiutes took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty Ye Tian, I want to ...... I would like to ask you to stay and help me with this plan, I don't know ......"
Hearing Qiutes's words, Ye Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, to be honest, he didn't expect Qiutes to invite him to preside over this matter, isn't he worried?
After thinking about it, Ye Tian said cautiously: "Your Majesty Qiutes, this matter is best handled by the person you trust the most, if it were me, wouldn't you be afraid that I would have ulterior motives?"
"This ......" looked at Ye Tian hesitantly, Qiutes smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, I can't fully believe you, but there is no way, I don't have a person like you by my side, this plan will only be implemented most thoroughly in your hands." ”
Smiling and looking at Qiutes, Ye Tian spoke: "If you want me to be in charge of dealing with these things, then I need your absolute trust, you know, in this process, the power I can control is too great, this power is enough for me to do anything, including the unification of this continent!"
"This ......" looked at Ye Tian hesitantly, Qiutes knew that if the matter was not presided over by Ye Tian, the probability of success would not even be half, but if Ye Tian presided over it, he would control the military strength of the whole country, and the highest could reach tens of millions of troops!
After thinking about it, Qiutes finally laughed, looked at Ye Tian with a smile, and Qiutes spoke: "Your Excellency Ye Tian, you seem to know a lot about the Silver Wolf Empire, but ...... Do you know how the Silver Wolf Empire was founded?"
"Huh?" Looking at Qiutes suspiciously, Ye Tian said blankly: "This ...... Seriously, I don't know. ”
Smiling and nodding, Tyutes continued, "Well, you really can't know, because ...... This is a secret that belongs to our Silver Wolf Royal Family, in fact...... We, the Silver Wolf and the Red Moon, were established at the same time, or even by the same forces!"
Tyutes sighed, and then continued, "Thousands of years ago, there were two immortal powerhouses, they formed the Silver Wolf Legion and the Red Moon Legion respectively, they defeated all the enemies, established the Red Moon Empire, and the Silver Wolf Empire. ”
Raising his head, Qiutes looked at Ye Tiandao: "Since then, the Red Wolf and the Silver Moon have been born, but do you know? For thousands of years, there has never been a war between the Silver Wolf and the Red Moon, not even once!"
"Oh!" Looking at Qiutes in surprise, Ye Tian said incredulously: "Why?
Shaking his head categorically, Tyutes said categorically: "No, from the beginning to the present, there has not been even a trace of friction!"
"Why!" Ye Tian asked in a deep voice.
