Chapter 380: The Art of Politics
The civil war that broke out in the Roland continent in the 964th day of the empire collapsed the Northwest Legion, a local separatist warlord who had been a headache for the empire for many years.
In order to win this victory, the empire paid a total of 14 million gold coins for this war. And what gave the imperial military a headache was that after this battle, the Northwest Army was gone, and then, there was a debate, that is, whether to want it or not
Rebuild the Northwest Legion in the northwest of the empire to defend the northwest frontier of the empire.
Over this issue, a large-scale dispute unfolded above the court. Some people believe that there are steppe people outside the northwest of the empire, and although there are some civil strife in the steppe now, the steppe people are savage and belligerent, xìng like greedy wolves, west
In the north, it is necessary to have a large-scale military garrison as usual to make people feel at ease.
People on the other side believe that there is now a Duke Tulip in the Northwest Region, and the territory of Duke Tulip is the border area, and the Tulip family already has tens of thousands of private troops, which is enough to serve as a heavy duty to defend the border of the empire.
Over this issue, the two sides argued endlessly. After all, the rebuilding of the Northwest Army Corps, such a major matter, involves all kinds of interests in all aspects. To rebuild a new Northwest Army, it is natural to promote a large number of high-ranking generals and leading officers, and they will hold heavy power
How many wealthy nobles in the empire, many of whom have military backgrounds, are naturally moving up and down, trying their best to pass this resolution, and even more so after the rebuilding of the Northwest Army. I can insert the clansmen in my own family and get high
Bit.
On the opposing side were a group of imperial officials headed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. They insisted that there was no need for a main army in the Northwest. On the steppe side, it is enough to have Duke Tulip guarding the gate of the country. And the Chancellor of the Exchequer enumerated
A series of figures indicating if the North-Western Corps were to be rebuilt. The Empire's finances will be burdened with a huge burden. And this year a new landlord battle corps has been created. and the creation of an almost extravagant Kaspersky Line in the north...... If you follow it again
If it continues, even with the generous donation of Duke Tulip. Then the imperial finances are afraid in the next few years. will be in a serious crisis.
"The Storm Legion is going to be replenished and reorganized, and the Thunder Whip Legion of the New Land has just been completed. Kaspersky Defence is still putting the finishing touches...... The treasury is now out of money! To rebuild the Northwest Army? It's crazy!!"
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is above the court. With a red face and a thick neck, he roared loudly at those who advocated the reconstruction of the land.
It is puzzling that in the midst of this controversy, he is the master of the empire. But the regent remained silent. There is no tendency to do so. His silent performance makes people feel even more profound, and many people on both sides of the argument are on both sides. All try to find a way
through various channels. Try to understand what the Lord Regent really thinks inside. It's a pity that whether they bribed the palace attendants or the officers in the Imperial Forest Army, the news they got was: let the court quarrel all over the world. But the regent returned to the palace
Afterwards. Never say anything about it. The only clue is that the regent has been in private for the last few days. The mood was so good that there was even news from the court that someone had heard the regent laughing alone in his room.
Prince Chen is indeed in a good mood. Watching those ministers quarrel these days. He didn't really care at all.
He hid in the room and laughed wildly, which was also true.
Exactly. Prince Chen is in a very, very good mood right now. This good mood comes from a top-secret battle report!!
"A thousand hot air balloon airships. The high-altitude bombing took less than an hour to cause the 70,000 iron cavalry to collapse! The ground attack lost only a few thousand people, and completely annihilated Lu Gao's 70,000 iron cavalry ......."
Seeing this battle report, how could Prince Chen not be overjoyed?
Rejoice. It has strengthened his determination to make a big deal out of the air force!
It turned out to be a combat unit in the air. It turned out that the Northwest Army was so powerful that the entire continent was staring sideways under the bombardment of the air. It's like a three-year-old child, let the other side ravage! It can be said already
Subverting the previous rules!!
The result of the battle is so drawn. Prince Jean Chen agreed with Du Wei on the plan to build an air force on a large scale of the empire. I feel more prescient!
With such a powerful weapon of war. Two years later...... What are you afraid of?!hum!!
As for the two sides of the quarrel above the court. Prince Chen sat on the wall and watched, with his cleverness, of course, he knew what the thoughts of those high-profile advocates for the rebuilding of the Northwest Army, what kind of thoughts were in their hearts...... Hmph, a bunch of power-hungry fools!
Prince Chen already had a plan for the future of the Northwest Territory in his heart, but he was still observing it coldly.
Compared to the quarrels of the past few days. Prince Tatsu is now more concerned about two other things.
The first is the progress of the production of aerial bombed hot air balloons by Du Wei in cooperation with the military. Half a year earlier, the empire had carved out a military forbidden land thirty miles south of Dìdū. A production site has already been put into production.
That is, the so-called ...... advocated by Du Wei before Well, that's right. That name is called "Boeing United Airlines".
That's right. It's this quirky name. It is a production base jointly invested by Du Wei and the military. Specializing in the production of large aerial hot air balloons. And Du Wei generously handed over some hot air balloon production technology. This secret production base
, only some of the core figures in the empire knew about this plan. At present, according to the progress reported. Fourteen hundred hot air balloons have been produced for half a year. And Du Wei also wrote to tell himself. The gunpowder has also been produced, and the first shipments have been
Will be shipped within a month.
In addition, Du Wei also wrote a special plan, which is a set of special training methods for training soldiers in the air combat field.
Emperor Chen
Zi can see the gold content of this thing at a glance!
And the second thing that Prince Chen cares about. is now secretly supporting the upstart of the military, that Alpay......
Fifteen days after the end of the Great War in the Northwest. The dìdū quarrel finally came to fruition.
What is interesting is that in the process of this quarrel. It is not only Prince Tatsu who has not expressed his position, but the current acting Minister of War. Old Prime Minister Robschaner. He has also remained silent.
It stands to reason. The military is strongly advocating the re-establishment of the Northwest Army Corps. But as Minister of War. The old prime minister was silent. Undoubtedly, the strong intentions of the military did not receive a strong support. There are even many people within the military who are interested in acting as an agent for military affairs
The minister expressed his displeasure. Think of him as Minister of War - even if it is an acting land. As Minister of War, he does not seek benefits for the military.
No one knows what the ground is. The old prime minister has secretly reached an agreement with his assistant, Lord Camicillo, who was also sent to him by Prince Chen.
On this day. There was good news: the old prime minister Robeschan and the empire's upstart Cammisiro were married. The old prime minister will put one of his nieces and granddaughters. Married to the Chinese New Year's Eve-year-old Lady Camisiro. This marriage was also blessed by the regent
Good fortune.
As you can imagine. This is a distinctly politically sèmetic marriage. Camesilo has been regarded by many as the upstart of the local military in the future. And at this time, he married the family of the old prime minister Robschel, an aristocratic and wealthy family with a long history. Undoubtedly make
Got young Camichiro. Got a huge political backstage. The future of the future. It will be brilliant!
And everyone can't wait to give their blessings - whether it's true or not. Camisillo's mansion was full of guests - and at this time, good news came from the court again!
The current landlord of the empire. His Royal Highness Prince Regent. Announcing the big wedding - again!
Although not crowned emperor. Legally available. The title of Emperor Chen's land is already only at the level of the emperor's land. And according to the laws of the Empire. Although he already has a wife. But he can also marry two more princesses.
And this time. Prince Chen's decision to marry a local woman is an ancient family from the southern part of the empire with a long history, which predates the rise of the Augustinian dynasty. Once brilliant. Later, although it was slightly decayed, it was deeply rooted,
As a result, it is still listed as one of the giants of the empire.
And the girl of the soon-to-be-regent princess. At the age of eighteen, it is said that among the nobles of the southern land, he is famous, and he is sixteen years old. It fascinated countless young aristocratic talents in the south, who were good at art and painting, and also for dance
There is a special talent. What's even more amazing is that this girl is not only versatile, but she is also said to be a very kind girl - she donated all her jewelry during the snowstorm in the south last year. won a lot of people
appreciation.
Among the nobles of the Empire, this noble girl named Dai Lidi and Angel, the sister of Mrs. Liszt in the Liszt family in the north. and are known as the two beauties of the younger generation in the wealthy family of the empire.
At the same time, a noteworthy detail...... Especially the details that will make Du Wei pay special attention!
This girl named Dai Li, her own brother, is the commander of the 4th Division of the Imperial Guards who had just been promoted to the commander of the 4th Division of the Imperial Imperial Guards a year and a half ago, and who had just ended the Northwest War and took away great merit - General Alpayi!!
After the news broke. Make dìdūli a sensation again!
The young monarch of the empire, married the most famous beauty in the aristocratic circle of the southern part of the empire. Politically sensitive people. Something immediately came to mind! Especially after learning about General Arpayi's military exploits in the just-concluded Northwest War. Everybody
Realized: I'm afraid this will be another upstart to rise!!
Although General Alpayi had just hurriedly led his army back to the army, he was at home. More than a dozen groups of guests have come to visit. Everyone is eagerly trying to hook up on this rising star.
For a time, the two names of Camisiro and Alpaj became the hottest focus in dìdū.
Everything is like when Du Wei suddenly rose to become the Duke of Tulip.
These things diluted the court's attention to the reconstruction of the Northwest Army. Subsequently, the regent suddenly made his own decision without consulting any of the ministers, and issued several orders in one go.
"The first order, in view of the outstanding exploits in the war and the great contribution to the Empire, to award the Duke of the Imperial Tulip, Duver Rudolph, the Order of the Golden Thorn Flower for Outstanding Contribution to the Empire, the Medal for Outstanding Contribution to the Empire, and to award
The fiancée of the Duke Duvirudolph, Mademoiselle Vivien, the title of Countess of the Court (for life, not hereditary) ......"
If this order is here, it can be regarded as the meaning of the title - after all, Du Wei's credit is there, and everyone knows that his reward must be indispensable. These rewards are indeed very generous. But then, in the last paragraph of this command,
But everyone broke their glasses!
“...... At the same time, in view of the great military achievements of Duke Tulip for the empire during the war, Duke Tulip was appointed as the chief of affairs of the Northwest Emperor [**], and Duke Tulip was awarded the rank of Imperial General!"
Rank of General?!!
And what does that "Chief of Military Affairs of the Northwest Army of the Empire" mean, a new official title that has never been seen in the Empire??
However, what is even more surprising is yet to come......
