The city of Istanbul, an important city in southern Xinjiang, was attacked by the Roman Empire, and this 800-mile urgent military situation was already five days ago.

The significance behind this military situation is very significant, it represents the end of a thirty-year peace between the Roman Empire and the Holy Empire.

In the palace, the six ministers of the military aircraft department knelt on the ground one after another, and Yale XIII on the high platform had a blue face, and he already had a bad premonition in the face of the aggressive posture of the Roman Empire.

"Who said that the frontier is becoming more stable! Who is talking about the frontier worry-free! What is the use of the military aircraft department asking you to have these rice buckets! Now that the army of the Roman Empire is stepping on my territory, you waste have discussed all night and come up with such a waste solution!"

Yale XIII tapped a notebook in his hand, which was presented to him by the Military Aircraft Department this morning on the handling of the southern Xinjiang issue.

The six people in the audience prostrated on the ground, and Rob Carrey kept kowtowing and said: "Your Majesty is angry! It's not that the ministers don't want to adopt an offensive strategy, but once a full-scale war starts, the treasury can't afford it!"

The other five did not speak, and the plan was a decision they had collectively studied: abandon Istan and retreat to the city of Gelben, strengthen the fortifications, and try to avoid the arrival of all-out war.

Hearing a few of them mention the treasury, Yale XIII snorted coldly, stared at Rob Carey's figure and said, "The treasury is empty?!Where did all the money go?! I heard that a small city manager below has a net worth of five million gold coins!"

The emperor's words are extremely detrimental and the governor of the city management army has a net worth of five million gold coins, so other higher-level officials can be imagined, which shows that today's war has made His Majesty vigilant and began to pay attention to the corruption of the current officials.

The originally silent ministers of military aircraft could no longer remain silent, and the third-class duke Tuskang knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the problem of the Chengguan army is mainly because the power of the ministry is too great and the scope of care is too wide. According to Weichen, it is better to abolish the Chengguan Army and split its power. ”

Yale XIII sneered: "How many things can a small city manager manage, it is estimated that there are still people above Fu Yede to protect him, otherwise how can he, a small five-grade governor, have the courage to be corrupt so much!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of David Mo, who had just been appointed some time ago, and his mood had just improved, and he said lightly: "The newly appointed governor of the city management army has reformed, and now the people of the entire imperial capital are applauding! The key is to employ people!"

He waved his hand and said lightly: "Get up!"

After everyone got up, he seemed to think of something inadvertently, and asked: "The Minister of War handed over the excerpt today and said that he was going to sue for sick and old-age care, and I have approved it." As for the replacement, do you have any good recommendations?"

The six men looked at each other, apparently caught off guard by the Emperor's question, for they had not yet received news of the retirement of the Minister of War.

However, they can achieve today's position, and their sensitivity to this kind of thing is far beyond ordinary people, and Monteiro, one of the six, said: "Weichen has one person to recommend, Deputy Minister of Quartermaster, Second Marquis Iliette. ”

But he didn't expect Yale XIII to hear this name, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Now the Ministry of Quartermaster still needs Iliette, and he can't leave." ”

Rob Carey glanced at Monteiro quietly, and his eyes burst into a ray of light, Iliette was Monteiro's old subordinate, and he still remembered the last Roberts test.

He bowed slightly and said, "The minister thinks that the deputy minister of the war, the first-class marquis Royke, is decent enough to take on this position." ”

Yale XIII waved his hand slightly again, and said lightly: "How long has Deputy Minister Royke been in office, and now he is being promoted to minister, but I am afraid that the hundred officials will not be convinced." ”

Hearing his words, the six people in the audience were a little disapproving, and they all thought together: Some time ago, you promoted the young man named David Mo, you haven't considered the feelings of the hundred officials.

However, no one dared to stand up and brush the emperor's tiger whiskers, so Rob Carey had to bow down again and say: "Your Majesty Shengming, I don't know if Your Majesty has a candidate in his heart." ”

Yale XIII bowed slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Second Duke Lockgoorly is capable and capable, and it is a pity that he has been idle at home now, so in my opinion, it is better to let him serve as it." ”

His fluttering remarks suddenly alerted the six people in the audience, His Majesty's meaning has been revealed, and this is clearly to enable this old duke!

Regardless of internal friction, the first-class marquis Harvey Cole hurriedly stood up, and the expression on his face was like a mournful concubine.

"Your Majesty, Grand Duke Locke has been negligent in political affairs for many years, and now he is forcibly pulled into the court, I am afraid that the old duke will be difficult to adapt to for a while!"

Several others have also stopped remaining silent and have expressed their support for Harvey Cole, all of whom disagree with Lockgoorly's comeback.

Yale XIII sneered in his heart, these ministers of military aircraft who opened their mouths to serve the dead and kept their mouths closed, once they heard about the matter involving their interests, they all blocked it, and did not take his interests into account at all.

Of course, he knows very well about the little Jiujiu in their hearts. These old foxes are absolutely aware of his intentions, the position of prime minister of the military aircraft will not be empty forever, and once Lockgouli takes office, it will definitely disperse the power in their hands.

His eyes were slightly indifferent, and he said coldly: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to argue, the Minister of War will let him take over temporarily." ”

Seeing that they couldn't stop this, the six had no choice but to give in, after all, the emperor had enjoyed the country for more than fifty years, and his prestige was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Lockgouli's own qualifications were more than enough to serve as the head of the military department, so no one could say anything.

Rob Carey was the first to react, bowed down and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to show me the affairs of Southern Xinjiang, and Weichen and the others are also discussing a result." ”

But Yale XIII waved his hand and said: "When you have discussed it, I am afraid that even Gelben will be lost! The city of Istanbul cannot be lost, let alone given up, even if it is a defensive battle, this city must be in our hands!"

He stood up from the chair and paced back and forth: "The local army is not of great use, and it still needs to rely on the forbidden army to do it......" Speaking of this, his eyes flickered slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Quickly dispatch a division of troops to support, even if the city of Istanbul is lost, I must take the city of Gleben!"

He frowned slightly, his eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he said coldly: "If the city of Gelben is also lost, how can you explain to the people of the empire, and your military aircraft department will take care of it yourself when the time comes!"

The six people hurriedly turned over and knelt on the ground, shouting in their mouths: "The ministers are willing to die for Your Majesty!

......

In the military hall the next day, David Mo and the two deputy regiment commanders attended a meeting of military aircraft, and there were more than 30 people present, all of whom were officers of their third division, and it was said that something important would be announced today.

The meeting was presided over by the Minister of Military Aircraft, Marquis Budilson, First Rank, and without any politeness, he directly gave the supreme order of the Military Aircraft Division.

"I think you already know what is going on in southern Xinjiang, and your third division must be ready to assemble tonight! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, pointed to the map and continued: "Although it is not yet clear how many Roman troops are coming, you must hold Gerben! This is a death order given to you by the Military Aircraft Department!"

The duty of a soldier is obedience, and since he has been chosen, there is no chance to retreat, so Kubri, the commander of the Third Division, immediately turned over and knelt down and shouted: "Even if the Third Division fights to the last man, it will definitely defend the city of Gelben!"

When the other legions saw the division commander kneeling, they all knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to live and die with the city of Gelben!"

Budilson nodded, and said with relief: "This is what the Royal Forbidden Army should look like! Without further ado, go back and set off immediately." After dark, I don't want to see anyone in the battalion of your 3rd Division!"

......

David Mo went back to the Governor's Mansion, but it came too suddenly, and he needed to explain carefully before he could leave with confidence.

Bruwey, Pu Lili, Nananke, Zuo Keli, Fukom, and others all stood in his office, and he gave a brief explanation of the transfer of troops.

After introducing the situation, he continued: "During my absence, all matters, no matter how big or small, will be decided by Mr.

The four of them hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Don't worry, my lord, everything will be done according to Mr. Blue's instructions!"

David Mo nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Bruwey: "It was too sudden, and now the burden of the city management army will be handed over to Mr. With that, he took out the governor's seal and handed it to Bruwey.

Bruwei bowed two steps forward, took the Governor Yin, and said solemnly: "Bruwei is not talented, he will definitely not let the Chengguan Army make any trouble!"

However, he then said with some concern: "It's better for Blue to accompany the Lord to Southern Xinjiang, so as to assist the Lord to calm down the chaos." ”

David Mo shook his head and said, "The Chengguan Army can't do without Mr., and Mr. needs to be in the middle of the dispatch here." ”

Bruwei's role is now extremely crucial, and although the four commanders are now in harmony, he knows in his heart that everyone is secretly competing. If Bruwe leaves, I am afraid that no one will obey anyone, and the work of the Governor's Mansion will not be able to be carried out at all.

Bruwe also knew the key to this, so he had no choice but to nod, and said with some concern: "The Roman Empire is attacking this time, there must be a backhand, I hope you must be careful." ”

David Mo nodded and hurriedly said goodbye to them, and the group watched his car leave the Governor's Mansion. At this time, the forbidden army outside the city had already begun to reorganize their camps and prepare to rush to southern Xinjiang overnight to fight.

Princess Gusu, who had been following David Mo, didn't learn the news until the day after the army left, although David Mo didn't know about her existence, but it didn't prevent her from losing her temper with Yale XIII, which made Yale XIII cry and laugh......
