Seeing the man coming, although Lorraine was reluctant in his heart, he still hurriedly greeted him, and had to smile with a smile: "Your Highness, what do you have to do? ”

Rao is the deputy commander of the Lao He army, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he is a figure of Lao Niu Fork and Lao Niu Fork, but he does not dare to slack off in the slightest. (ps: Nonsense, for his father-in-law, except that he doesn't want to live anymore, who dares to slack off?)

Grand Duke Julius laughed and said, "A small thing, a small thing, look at your expression, it's really a small thing, hahaha......"

Archduke Julius laughed dryly, seeing Lorraine looking at this suspiciously, every point of answer, the Grand Duke paused, looked around, and then continued Chapter 1037 The night owl entered the house (asking for a monthly pass): "It's not convenient here, let's go into the camp tent to talk." ”

As he spoke, he slapped Lorraine on the shoulder and strode in.

Under his vigorous and enthusiastic slap, Lorraine clenched his teeth in pain.

At the same time, looking at the back of the Grand Duke and listening to the Grand Duke humming a little song proudly, Lorraine wondered in his heart: This old guy took the wrong medicine today? Why don't you stay in his tent and wonder how to write his earth-shattering love letters, what are you doing here?

Since leaving Abdewad, Archduke Julius has been urging him, like Napoleon Nago, who was fascinated by Josephine's vixen, to write a love letter to Queen Isabella every day. By the time the war is over, it may be enough to assemble a collection of love letters.

And the most shameful thing is that this old guy still relied on the convenient identity of his father, the chairman of the Flying Eagle Company, to use the military's Tietong telegraph network to directly send it to the past.

You know, the middle of the telegram had to pass through the hands of telegraphers in more than a dozen cities before it could be forwarded to Abdwad.

You must know that no matter what era, those dead people are extremely concerned about the royal adulterers and adulteresses, very yellow and violent things, and they are also very happy to Chapter 1037 Night owls enter the house (ask for a monthly pass).

Therefore, those telegrams were already known to everyone before they reached the hands of Queen Isabella.

I just don't know, when Queen Isabella receives the telegram, will she cry or laugh?

Lorraine was gloating to herself, but with a turn of her mind, she suddenly remembered something, hurried after the Grand Duke, and ran in. But then he couldn't help but sigh.

I saw that in the camp tent, the gorgeous and soft Persian cashmere carpet was already covered with dirty footprints, as if it was still a deliberate prank, and the corners were trampled all over, and the dirt seemed to have just been brought out of the muddy water.

For a while, Lord Luo was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. The carpet he had bought at a high price, and had been used to hold it when he had received the generals and foreign guests.13

And now, it's all ruined~!

In this time of chaos, let yourself find a beautiful pure cashmere carpet again.

At this time, the Grand Duke did not seem to see at all, but skillfully rummaged through Lorraine's desk, and then, with great accuracy, found his box of hardcover Havana King cigars at the bottom of the desk drawer, under a mess of papers.

You must know that there is no less thought to hide this box of cigars Lorraine, there are too many people who have cigar ideas, especially Leo and Xiaobai, the two destroyers, they are just lighting and playing.

Archduke Julius cheered, then picked up one, put it under his nose like an old smoker who had quit smoking for three and a half days, sniffed vigorously, and then nodded with satisfaction.

But when he saw a box full of cigars, the Grand Duke hesitated for a moment, then took another one, glanced at it again, hesitated again, and simply reached in with his big hand and grabbed it, took five or six more, and stuffed them into his pocket together.

Because Catherine was in charge of the finances and taxes of the entire eastern provinces, although the old man of Archduke Julius was a grand duke, he actually did not have much pocket money.

Especially in cigars, cigarettes, and liquor...... There is not much money to spend on this type of luxury.

Archduke Julian was used to being poor, otherwise he would not have been so angry that his blood pressure soared because of Catherine's cosmetics money.

But as the Grand Duke of the Empire, that taste is extremely high, and that mouth has long been raised in the court, and ordinary goods are not looked down upon.

In the past, when I was poor, I just forbeared, I couldn't see it, and I wasn't upset.

Now that he has caught Lorraine, the king-sized Kaizi who was sent to the door, he naturally can't let it go. If there is nothing to do, I always run over to play Lord Luo's autumn breeze, follow a bottle of famous wine, and touch two cigars.

Lorraine was extremely distressed to see that half of his two months' inventory was left. Although tobacco leaves are already produced in large quantities in the Naan Savannah, the production of top-quality cigars is extremely limited and is exclusively available.

What's even more unfortunate is that in Almohad, this cigar can't be bought with money, so it has to be secretly caught in the shells supplied by the Flying Eagle Group, avoiding the eyes of Catherine and Leo, and traveling across the ocean from the handicraft workshop of Neyan to the front.

Although the Grand Duke took and smoked, he didn't have the slightest awareness of being short-handed, glared at Lorraine warningly, and said, "Don't tell Nicole~! ”

Lorraine spread her hands helplessly.

Archduke Julius snorted, then bit off the butt of his cigarette and spit it on the carpet.

He took the cigar in his mouth, then touched it up and down on his body, and found that it didn't seem to be on fire, so he casually picked up the delicate limited-edition IMCO lighter on the table, snapped it, and then passed the cigar over.

Then a mellow smoke filled the air.

The Grand Duke took a few puffs, then exhaled the smoke with a comfortable face, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, and said admiringly: "Good smoke, good smoke......"

Although the Grand Duke is unmoved on the surface, he seems to be savoring the cigar to himself.

But Lorraine's eyes were so sharp, and he saw that the old fellow's fingers gently rubbed the smooth surface of the lighter, and played with it in his hand, exactly like Leo's little rascal, and knew at once that the old fellow must have planned to take the lighter away.

Lord Luo's eyes immediately widened angrily: this old guy is too bullying. This lighter is a limited edition, if he dares to take this away, and the remaining half of the box of cigars is copied, he will definitely go to Catherine to file a complaint~!

Seeing the resoluteness in his eyes, the Grand Duke couldn't help but pause, then smiled suddenly, threw the lighter on the table casually, glanced at it reluctantly, and muttered secretly in his heart: Such a good thing is all in the hands of this kid.

Lorraine hurriedly walked over, also took out a cigar and lit it, and then quietly ...... Quietly put the lighter in his pocket.

The Grand Duke coughed lightly at this time, then sat up straight, and said, "Lorraine, how do you plan to fight the Zindelun Fortress?"

Lorraine spit out smoke, smiled, and said: "How else can you fight? Zindelun Fortress, there is only one way up and down the mountain, Haddu has been operating for many years, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be called a natural danger, if it is attacked, it will inevitably suffer huge losses."

In the face of such a strong fortress, there was no other way but to bombard it directly with artillery. ”

The Grand Duke immediately clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Ha, our ideas really coincide." That's what I thought too......"

At this, a twisted look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said with a slight embarrassment: "Earl, my dear child......"

Lorraine couldn't help but shudder: Sure enough, it's a night owl who has entered the house, and he doesn't come for anything~!

He would rather the old fellow take his lighter away than hear the Grand Duke call himself so.

This old fellow is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles.

Although he called himself so, it meant that he was acknowledging his relationship with Catherine in disguise, but at the same time, it also showed that it would require a greater price in exchange.

The Grand Duke paused for a moment, and then continued: "My dear child, it is so, I have considered it for a moment. This bombardment of the city of Zindelun is a very dangerous and arduous task, and if it is not for the old commander with high moral standing and rich qualifications, it is very likely that something will go wrong. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but wonder when he looked at him. To bombard Zindelun, you only need to set up the cannon and bombard, there is only a legion of 5,000 people in the fortress, and half of it was brought out by Petrius, and Lorraine has 100,000 troops arranged opposite the fortress of Pass.

There is no danger or arduousness from that, even if it is handed over to Xiaobai to command, it can be done.

You must know that these official words, the lord is now familiar with them.

Generally, when the bosses encounter a critical situation, they affectionately give the younger brothers a few words of encouragement, and then let them perform difficult tasks such as charging into battle, desperately breaking off, or even suicide tasks.

But now, the old and the troops are a big good, not a small good, not a medium good, a big good, and a complete victory is just around the corner.

In this case, this old guy is talking about all this nonsense, emphasizing what is difficult and dangerous, what exactly does he want to do?

Then I heard the Grand Duke continue: "So I want to ...... I think...... Should I be in direct command this time?"

Rao is thick-skinned, but after finishing speaking, he still couldn't help but blush. But fortunately, his complexion is quite dark, and if it weren't for the sharp eyes, he wouldn't have seen any change at all.

Although Grand Duke Julius was the commander-in-chief of the Lao and his troops, he could directly command all the Juman legions, and the orders were given to each legion, but ...... But you also have to talk about rules.

The artillery units, equipped with the new artillery, were the descendants of Lorraine and Leo, and were entirely composed of the SS and belonged to the Flying Eagle Group.

Personnel, military salaries, materials, and equipment have not cost the empire a penny, all of which are paid by the Flying Eagle Group itself.

And when Lorraine reached out to ask for money, those guys just grinned and screamed, emphasizing that the economic prospects were not good, and they didn't give a penny.

Lorraine's application for reimbursement of the cannonball money was lost as soon as it was sent to Ruman City, and the old guys just didn't see it.

In order to build this army, he threw a lot of money into it, and the modern army was piled up with gold, seven or eight million before and after.

And now, it's easy to get results, and now you're running over and reaching out?

I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless. Even the thick-skinned emperor of Rudren did not dare to open his mouth to Lorraine, and Prime Minister Russell paid for all the artillery used on the northern front.

Lorraine couldn't help but sigh, and then sighed again, who let this uncle be his cheap old man.

The Grand Duke also felt that it was a little unauthentic, so he touched his nose in disdain, and said: "Actually, I don't mean anything else, just to accumulate some experience when I attack Samarkand City in the future."

I remember when you were in school, didn't you do a deduction that if you wanted to conquer Samarkand, you had to bombard it with the magic cannon of Urban for half a month?

Now that you have this kind of artillery that is on par with the magic guide cannon, we have to find an opportunity to try the effect, right?"

Lorraine sighed again. At this time, I was still thinking about capturing the city of Samarkand. For this cheap old man, he was completely speechless.

The Grand Duke hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "By the way, that Maple Leaf Danlin Military Academy has organized another group of military observation groups to come over. The leader of the team is very high-level, and they also want to get a good look at the power of this artillery.

People have come all the way, and they finally came, we can't let them down, right?

I have heard that the Wabadorgon army has made plans, and if the artillery is effective, they will set up an artillery section this year, and invite your people to give lectures. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but be moved.

Although the artillery still only belongs to the Naian Corps, the artillery in other areas is also used by the Flying Eagle Group.

However, it is not easy to train artillery, and it is even more difficult to train artillery officers, but it is also an ironclad fact.

Lorraine has already pulled out all the artillery available in the Flying Eagle Group, and the reality is that the training speed of artillery has not yet caught up with the manufacturing speed of artillery, and a large number of equipment is waiting for users.

If Maple Leaf Danlin sets up an artillery section, with their powerful superior resources, they can definitely train a large number of qualified artillery officers like an assembly line.

Artillery was also only available to Lord Luo, especially the technology for the manufacture of shells and propellants.

Those artillery officers didn't want to be unemployed as soon as they graduated, so they had to go to work on Lord Luo's side.

Not to mention much, one class is held every year, forty or fifty graduates, and when the time comes, the problem of talent shortage that has been bothering the lord will be solved all of a sudden~!

Besides, this old guy is the commander-in-chief, and he is just a deputy. And he is also his own cheap father-in-law, who can pull down his face like this to beg himself. If he didn't give some face, this old fellow wouldn't have given himself much eye medicine in Catherine's presence if he was angry.

If you don't look at the face of the Grand Duke, you have to look at Catherine's face.

Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but sigh again, hardened her head, and reluctantly agreed.

××××××

The next day, when the sky was still just dark, the horns of the old and army camps were already sounding.

The soldiers on the night shift returned to the camp tired, and the more came out of the tent unkempt and confused, and began to wash their faces and rinse their mouths (these pups did it at most, and it was like asking them to brush their teeth). ）。

At this time, there were already bursts of cooking smoke rising in the camp, and the hot porridge and rice were tumbling in the pot, making a gurgling sound.

Bursts of white mist rose from the pot until it rose into the air, and then it drifted away with the wind, and at the same time, the aroma of the meal spread throughout the camp.

The cooks vigorously tapped the rim of the pot with the shiny copper spoons in their hands, and shouted loudly at the same time: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." The bunnies are cooking. Come over quickly, it's too late, you don't care......"

Hearing their shouts, the soldiers immediately sped up, took out the lunch boxes that had not been washed for a long time, and crowded in front of the cauldron in front of the cooks.

For a while, the clamming of metal lunch boxes, the shouts of people, the angry scolding of those who cut in line, and the neighing of war horses...... The various voices converged into a huge clamor that hung over the camp.

After another half hour, the voice faded down. With a long horn sounded, all the sounds miraculously disappeared.

Immediately, loud slogans sounded.

With the monotonous rhythm of the slogan, a neat line of troops drove out of the camp.

That detachment is like a stream flowing into a river, from small squadrons into squadrons, from squadrons into brigades, and from brigades into legions. Eventually, it all came together. In front of the camp, a strict and neat phalanx drove forward with billowing smoke and dust.

Seeing the actions of the army of Lao He's troops, the defenders of the Zindelun fortress immediately sounded the alarm.

The crisp and rapid sound of the bronze bell instantly spread throughout the fortress.

Immediately, I saw countless swarthy heads emerging from the head of the fortress, and they all held sharp blades in their hands, gritted their teeth, and waited for the battle.

Lorraine stood on a hill, and behind him, a three-foot-high tree fluttered in the wind, and hunted sound.

With the fluttering of the flag, the golden eagle embroidered on the flag with wings spread seemed to have survived, and it was ready to break the flag and fly out and prey on the world.

A group of generals with Venus on their shoulders hugged him and followed him closely. There are also countless heralds running back and forth, delivering his orders to every corner.

More than 100,000 miles away, the army that came across the sea followed his will, once his blade pointed, no matter whether it was a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of him, or a tiger's den in Longtan, they would move forward bravely without hesitation.

At this time, one by one, the heralds rushed up and shouted loudly.

"The First Legion is in place~!"

"The Second Legion is in place~!"

"The Third Legion is in place~!"

“......”

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen legions had all arrived at their designated positions.

Immediately, a herald in black uniform also hurried up and shouted: "The artillery is in position, ask for an order to attack." ”

The generals who were whispering couldn't help but froze, and then they all looked at Lorraine.

Lorraine picked up the binoculars and glanced at them, only to see that the legions were all lined up in a neat phalanx, and at the front of them, more than a hundred artillery pieces had been raised high. Waiting for an order, he sprayed the blazing flames of death on the heads of his enemies.

Lorraine looked at the positions that the artillerymen had built, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.

Lorraine looked at the positions that the artillerymen had built, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth in satisfaction. Although the time was extremely short, the construction of those artillery positions was still extremely complete.

He paused slightly, then said softly, "In that case, let's start ......"

As soon as he said this, a voice suddenly shouted: "Dashuai, Dashuai, please wait a minute~!!!
