The Grand Duke sat there alone and praised Isabella for leaning back, and Leo would also begin to praise Queen Isabella with great praise, and he also slackly divided one, two, three, four.

Catherine looked unpleasant.

The more Archduke Julian praised Empress Isabella, the more ugly Catherine's face became.

These two men are all heartless, and this fierce praise praises the queen like an emperor through the ages.

And Catherine's face grew colder and colder, as if she were covered with a layer of frost. She doesn't have a good impression of this bad woman who seduces her father.

In the eyes of others, it was the Grand Duke Julian who harassed Empress Isabella, but as a traditional and excellent, wise, and well-informed woman of the new era, when will Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine reason with others...... Uh, it's not Chapter 1009 Market Garden (ask for a monthly pass).

As an excellent woman in the new era, she has always been like a torch, and she can see through the essence of things at once, if Queen Isabella did not mean to seduce Archduke Julian, how could Archduke Julian always be so foolish?

All the main reasons are that the woman is not good!

Seeing that the Grand Duke was about to ignite the volcano of Catherine, Lorraine had to intervene to stop the Grand Duke from continuing his infatuation.

Catherine was angry, how much the Grand Duke suffered, Lorraine would never care, but Catherine was in a bad mood, so she would slap the table and hit the bench, and she had nothing to do. When the time comes, Lord Luo will also be unlucky.

Lorraine coughed, interrupted the father and son, and said, "What should we do next? ”

Grand Duke Julius was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "What kind of troop transfer?"

Lorraine pursed his lips and said angrily: "The conspirators lurking in the city, this time the palace is obviously premeditated and planned.

I guess their purpose was to cause a riot. If it doesn't work out once, they will have a next time. Unsuccessful in Abdwad, that would be in other cities. We can't afford to be on guard.

I suspect that they are Haddou connected, and even this time itself is the 1009th chapter of the market garden (asking for a monthly pass) Haddou planned...

Target. ”

Catherine was so angry that she slapped the table with a muffled "bang", and said angrily, "This gang of chaotic parties harboring evil intentions is the most hateful.

All the things they do all day long are harmful and unfavorable to others, and they must all be dug out and severely punished. ”

Archduke Julian was taken aback, and was surprised why Catherine was so angry, as if she had eaten gunpowder.

The Grand Duke looked at Lorraine suspiciously.

Lorraine smiled helplessly, he wouldn't tell the Grand Duke, it was the old guy who didn't have eyesight. Self-inflicted trouble in front of an outstanding woman boasting about another woman is very strict in nature, and Catherine is not hairy.

He coughed lightly and said flatly: "Then let's communicate with Queen Isabella, transfer two legions into the city, patrol twenty-four hours a day, and strictly guard against death." ”

"So the best~!"

At this time, suddenly the voice of Queen Isabella came from behind Lorraine, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned their heads to look, and sure enough, it was the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen.

Everyone in the command room hurriedly and politely stood up one after another.

I saw Empress Isabella leading the Prime Minister, the Marquis of Vichamp, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Forces nouvelles, General Hassel, walking in.

Behind them, there was also a burly knight in light armor.

It was none other than Victor, the captain of the guard of Her Majesty the Empress.

This is an old acquaintance of Lorraine.

Originally, it was this guy who killed the Almohad Emperor and replaced him with a stand-in.

Lorraine was extremely impressed with him. You must know that at that time, he was a little disgusted and wanted to vomit, but the guy didn't change his face, and he didn't even blink from the corner of his eye. Dudi is a ruthless ruffian.

However, Lorraine also knows that Victor is definitely Queen Isabella's true confidant.

Seeing the queen walk in, Lorraine couldn't help but feel a little strange, as if something was not quite right.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Queen Isabella had changed into a blue palace dress at this moment.

The slightly curled, undulating brown hair was still wet, and the originally white and jade-like face flew crimson with rouge, and a faint fragrance of phalaenopsis was also wafting from the body, which was obviously sprinkled with perfume.

At this appearance of the Empress, Archduke Julius immediately stepped forward cordially and graciously pulled out the chair for Empress Isabella.

After Queen Isabella sat down, the Grand Duke sat down directly beside the queen with a smile. The Marquis of Vichamp and General Hassel were all pushed aside.

Victor was expressionless, standing straight behind Queen Isabella, although he was a close confidant of the queen, but his identity was not enough to serve the table.

Catherine glanced at Queen Isabella when she first came in, smiled knowingly, and with a gloating expression on her pretty face, she leaned down to Lorraine's side and secretly said to Lorraine: "She must have vomited nauseously just now." ”

Lorraine suddenly realized, and couldn't help but snicker in her heart: no wonder she was taking a shower and changing clothes again after a while. Obviously, the smell of those refugees was too big.

Tens of thousands of people watched on the field just now, and no one dared to squeeze forward, just because the smell was too bad.

These hundreds of people, in such a hot summer in Almohad, did not change their clothes or take a bath for more than half a month, and the smell on their bodies can be imagined. When I got closer, I even felt like I was going to suffocate.

Ordinary people are still like this, let alone pampered women.

It's really hard for Queen Isabella, looking at her appearance, she should have come over after taking a bath.

As for whether she vomited or not, Lorraine couldn't tell, but since Catherine said yes, it must be. Women's observations in this regard are very keen.

At this time, Empress Isabella nodded to Lorraine, and then continued with what she had just said, "What the Count of Lorraine said is extremely true.

This is only the first offensive of the enemy, they are lurking in the shadows, as long as they are not pulled out, they will continue to stir up trouble, we must always be on guard. I agree with Lorraine that some of the soldiers should be mobilized to maintain order in the city.

Not only that, but I also want to clear His Highness's order to the peacekeepers scattered in various places and pay close attention to the cities in various places. Beware of the enemy's troubles. They did not succeed in the Imperial City and most likely turned their attention to other cities. ”

Grand Duke Julius waved his hand heroically and said decisively: "Don't worry, leave it to me, who is with whom of ......the two of us?"

But then, seeing the cold light flashing in Catherine's eyes next to him, and her clear eyes were full of fierce murderous aura, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, coughed dryly, and then said, "I... I'll keep an eye on them and act as soon as anything goes wrong."

Queen Isabella pretended not to see the little drama performed between their father and daughter, smiled lightly but elegantly, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." I really don't know what to do without you?"

Hearing this, Archduke Julius was as comfortable as Haagen-Dazs who ate "a stick to death" on dog days, and he laughed heartily.

Catherine picked the corners of her mouth, secretly gritted her silver teeth, and saw that her father was so running away and leaking, but there was nowhere to release the sulking in her heart, so she went to pull Leo.

But that little rascal has grown up under her since he was a child, and he has survived until now because of his cleverness, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he ran away early.

Catherine fished out a void, and then turned her head to look at Leo, but Lei Erye's butt was against the corner of the wall, clenched his fists, and met Catherine's gaze, shaking his head resolutely and decisively, and posing as if he "can't be killed."

Catherine had no choice but to turn the target, reaching out and pinching Lorraine's waist fiercely.

Lorraine bared her teeth in pain, and smiled bitterly in her heart: I was really shot while lying down~!

What does this matter to me, there is no misfortune, wait, I must pinch back at night.

Queen Isabella smiled bitterly, sighed, and said weakly: "Internal and external difficulties~! There are no people under my subordinates, and the enemy has planned such a big thing, and I haven't even heard a little rumor." ”

The lack of available talent has always been a disadvantage for Queen Isabella.

The queen's foundation is not strong, and the family power is not strong enough. This party of foreign relatives, who should have been ruthlessly leading the political arena, naturally could not develop.

And the people of the old government and the queen dare not use it, the noble-born and the queen do not like each other, and they have to start all over again, most of them are not very loyal, and most of the loyal people have no ability.

It's a complete loop.

Lorraine knocked his chin and hesitated, "Isn't there still a Knights of the Worried Country?"

Queen Isabella shook her head and said, "Civil organizations, it's okay to make a noise, but it's not very useful. We urgently need a professional intelligence force. ”

Then Queen Isabella looked at Lorraine with sparkling eyes and said, "I heard that the Flying Eagle Group has a security army under it, which specializes in counter-espionage work. Is it the top level in the mainland?"

Lorraine smiled and said modestly: "Most of the rumors are exaggerated, and they are just small fights. ”

The FBI of a counter-espionage powerful venture capital firm. It is a specialized department under the intelligence queen Deibole.

The Security Forces are operational forces.

However, due to the complex structure of the Flying Eagle Group and the large number of departments, it is impossible to know if it is an insider, and it is impossible to know if it does not reach a comparable level. Not to mention outsiders.

It's normal for those people to not understand the situation and take them for the same thing.

And this is also a result that Lord Luo needs. Circumventing people is naturally conducive to secrecy.

Queen Isabella said: "Our fight against the enemy is no longer limited to the battlefield, it is an all-round war.

My men are lacking in such talents, can the Count of Lorraine help us train a group of people in this field?"

The Grand Duke immediately patted his chest and said happily: "It's no problem......

But then he saw the cold gaze cast by Catherine next to him, and the voice couldn't help but be lowered.

Queen Isabella couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Lorraine and Catherine inquiringly.

She is also an understanding person, and she knows: this kind of thing has to be decided by them.

Lorraine glanced at Catherine, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she knew that Catherine had acquiesced. But she couldn't help but agree.

No matter how bastard that old guy is, it's also her father. Since he preemptively agreed to the son, he can no longer contradict him and sweep his face.

Lorraine nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Queen Isabella looked very happy and said, "Thank you Lorraine and Chairman Leo. I'll hand it over to Victor, Victor~!" Victor, who was like Queen Isabella's shadow, walked out, bowed his head and said, "Your command, Your Majesty." ”

Queen Isabella said indifferently: "This matter will be handed over to you, obey Lorraine's dispatch, I will fully support you and do my best to build this department." We have high hopes for it.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best. Victor replied respectfully, turned his head to look at Lorraine, then bared his teeth, smiled brightly, and said, "In the future, I will ask Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lorraine again." ”

Lorraine smiled heartily, walked over and patted Victor on the shoulder, and said, "We are old friends, there is no need to say more polite words, it has always been exciting to cooperate with the head of the guard." ”

Victor's chief guard smiled slightly awkwardly, of course knowing what Lorraine was talking about.

Training agents for Queen Isabella, of course, is also good for Lorraine, the security army comes to be an instructor, and the final trained agents will have a very friendly relationship with Lorraine, and the security army can easily stick nails into it.

Queen Isabella said: "The fundamental reason for the current unfavorable situation is that our new army is not fighting well, which has disappointed the people.

To deal with the current situation, it is not only necessary to strictly guard against it, but more importantly, to rebuild the people's confidence in us. Vishan and Hassel came up with an idea, Vishan, you say. ”

Marquis of Vishan's face was ugly from the moment he entered the door, Yin Tang was black, he looked preoccupied, and he didn't say a word. He was stimulated by today's events, and tens of thousands of people shouted "Weishang step down" together, and the impact was very great.

Even if he knew that it was the enemy who secretly instigated him, the Marquis of Vichamp still felt very uncomfortable, the military element in his personality was very strong, and the lack of professional politicians was enough thick and black.

Seeing that he had done so many things selflessly, he was still not understood, and he was still resented, and the bitterness in the marquis's heart can be imagined.

But most good politicians thrive on constant setbacks.

At this time, seeing that the queen had pointed to herself, the Marquis of Vishan had to cheer up and said slowly: "General Hassell and I have consulted for a while.

We believe that our army has regained its morale after some period of contraction, recuperation, and recuperation. And the enemy's front has been stretched longer and longer.

Now that the tide of the war is gradually turning in our favor, can we seize this rare opportunity to launch a counteroffensive? Boost the morale of the people and the army with victory.

Therefore, we would like to seek the opinions of the two commanders. ”

Lorraine and Archduke Julius looked at each other and nodded slightly.

The Almohad government's judgment of the situation is consistent with that of the peacekeeping force's staff, which shows that the people in the new army and government are still very professional.

The current war situation, in the eyes of many people, is that the rebels are unstoppable, the strength of the new army is insufficient, the rebels have not suffered heavy losses, nor have they encountered any setbacks, it is the morale that is like a rainbow.

With the new army alone, it will be a long time before the rebels are defeated.

Only experienced and discerning can see that the rebels are no longer able to succeed.

The enemy has reached the apex of the attack, and it is the best opportunity to launch a counterattack.

After more than half a month of adjustment and rest, the new army has been replenished again, and its combat effectiveness has been restored.

And the enemy has been fighting for so long, and he is also a tired division. Until now, it is also a strong support.

However, in order to seize territory, they ignored the taboos of the soldiers, not only did not gather the already small forces, but dispersed them.

Terrible holes have appeared on their fronts.

Archduke Julius was very interested in the two of them, and said, "Tell me about your plan." ”

General Hassell stood up, bowed to the crowd, walked to the map, and picked up his baton to point to a spot behind the heavy black flags on the map.

Then he took a deep breath and said with great ambition: Our plan is to seize the ferry port of Prisca, which is occupied by Haddou. If successful, it would be a huge victory that could change the tide of the war. ”

Lorraine looked at the map and praised it sincerely: "What a big stroke~!"

Archduke Julius also led slightly, and said to Queen Isabella: "This is a good idea. It's worth looking into. Who came up with it?"

Empress Isabella smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's the collective wisdom of the front-line generals. ”

Lorraine nodded and said, "The bottom of the kettle is a plan." ”

The Priska ferry crossing was right behind the enemy.

It is an important natural crossing on the Zamibia River with a gentle current.

At this moment, the Prisca Ferry was in the hands of Haddou, and the garrison force was two legions.

Hundreds of miles north of the ferry port have been occupied by rebels. The attack on the Priska Ferry was undoubtedly a battle in the fire.

Once the Priska crossing is captured, it is equivalent to wedge a nail in the back of the rebels.

The rebels have penetrated deep into Taiyuan in the north, and their military strength is too scattered to be withdrawn.

Retaking the Priska Ferry, whether to the east or west, will block the rebels' retreat, pocket them, and easily eliminate them.

Lorraine pondered for a moment and said, "Is it possible for the new army to capture the Prisca Ferry and hold it?"

In Lorraine's opinion, this plan... While tempting, it can be cumbersome to implement.

This plan developed by the Forces nouvelles ... , just like the U.S. Army's market huā garden operation in World War II, once successful once the victory is achieved, it will be huge. However, relying only on a single transport line in the enemy-occupied area would make it unimaginably difficult to ensure victory in the battle.

With the current strength of the Almohad Forces nouvelles and the Suzhì, it is somewhat reluctant to implement this plan, and even the implementation of this plan by the Ruman Corps does not guarantee complete success.

Lorraine looked at General Hassell and said, "To put it bluntly, do you think with your current strength, the plan can succeed?"

The new army had 70,000 men, and it was able to engage in continuous fighting, and it was less than 50,000 when it was full. There are currently more than 60,000 rebels operating on the north bank of the Zamibia River alone. There were 10,000 Haddou's direct legions stationed at the Prisca Ferry, and 30,000 troops on standby in the south, a two-to-one ratio of troops.

Empress Isabella showed a nervous expression, she was very enthusiastic about this plan, and asked nervously, "This, is it impossible?"

Julian the Great: "This plan is very bold and exciting, it is to my liking, and if it succeeds, in Lorraine's words, it will be closed and beaten by the dogs." I can wrap all the rebels active in the north in the pie.

But it was indeed too difficult to penetrate 600 miles into the enemy-occupied area, attack a fortress heavily defended by the enemy, and then hold on to it from both sides. General Hassel explained: "We have taken all this into account, and we are ready to use all the artillery this time.

Part of the offensive was the Royal Janissary. And a part of the Knights Templar will also take part in the war. ”

"Wow~!" Lorraine sighed involuntarily, she could say that she had mobilized the Knights Templar to participate in the war, and Queen Isabella had invested a lot of money.

General Hassel said: "After our evaluation, we believe that as long as the logistics supply lines are smooth, the campaign can be successful. ”

Lorraine and Grand Duke Julian both smiled slightly, keeping the logistics and supplies smooth, who will keep it? There can be someone else besides the peacekeeping troops.

The key point of this battle is to maintain the smooth flow of logistics and supplies, Lorraine shook his head with a smile, and said, "Your opponent is Haddou. If Haddou had suddenly increased his army by another 40,000 or 50,000 men during the battle and counterattacked the Prisca crossing, the new army would have been defeated.

No, ......."

Lorraine tapped her fingers on the table, her eyes shining, and she said to herself, "This might be a good opportunity to fish for Haddou." He'd been cowering in a tortoiseshell for too long. ”！！！
