1464 Showdown (5)
"The transformation of history and the victory or defeat are often decided in an instant. But most people look back on it after that moment. Few people know that this is the moment when great changes will occur, and even fewer people can use their own hands to determine this critical moment
"Predicting the future, experiencing the present, and recalling the past," "If you connect these three together, there is often an unusual feeling that accompanies you." Full of joy, full of shock, full of anger, the most worthy of vigilance is the last one, which many people change to "regret"
In Bupes, the capital of the Gallic Empire in November, the power of the cold winter has been revealed, the wind and the sun have not been seen for more than ten days, and the streets of the city blown by the cold wind are covered with golden strips of cloth to express the honor of the founding month of the empire.
Three hundred years ago, in November, the sixty-one-year-old Gaul Oslancar, after spending forty-six years sweeping through the northern region of Obarro, finally ascended the throne of the empire in Bupes.
The golden striped flag is the military flag of the empire, and every monarch after it will order people to hang this golden map striped flag in the entire imperial capital in November, as a way to inspire themselves to be brave enough to follow their ancestors.
With the onset of winter, the leaves have withered, and the thick winter mood fills the eyes everywhere, and it is the cold season for the capital of the Gallic Empire, located in the northern region of Obarro.
On this day, the temperature was particularly cold, and the clouds changed rapidly in the sky, flowing like water, and the citizens thought it was a sign of impending heavy snowfall, and the students who had left school rushed from school to their homes as if they were being urged.
The Military Department of the Gallic Empire is a gray-white stone building, huge like a fortress divided into four floors, the outermost layer is the guard area, and the second level is the office area. The general arrangement of affairs and the presentation of reports are done here, and the general middle-level officers stop here, and between the second and third floors, there are strict guards, and only those with a certain status can enter.
Different from the strict environment outside, in the corridor on the third floor, you can already see the general hurrying through the corridor with Wen Jiàn, and here, the distinction of status is so obvious. There is a threefold difference between the largest and smallest offices, the same general, but the difference is self-evident, and as far as the building itself is concerned, the symbolic sense of authority is far more important than the actual function, because the real core is only a few offices on the innermost level, one of which has the "Algernon Petain" hanging on the door
"Father, I heard something is wrong with the Northwest!" the heavy office door was pushed open from the outside, and a young officer walked in. Her dark blonde hair was cut short enough to give the impression of a handsome teenager, but her slender figure, silky skin, and snowy skin exposed at the neckline undoubtedly proved that she was a woman. And she is also a shrewd and capable beauty.
"It's not a problem, it's just a little accident!" said Algernon Petain, the owner of this office, the commander of the First Army of the Gallic Empire and the undersecretary of the military department, standing by the window and looking out. At this time, I heard a voice, and I turned my head,
The ornate imperial general's uniform set off his generous figure. The broad national character face was not angry and arrogant, looking at the female officer who walked in, the corner of his mouth smiled, "To be honest, I didn't expect that Julilsford would really carry out the withdrawal order honestly this time!" "With my many years of understanding of him, this situation is really unimaginable, when he was in the imperial capital, he was the kind of character full of thorns, and he would explode when he touched it, but I didn't expect that this time he would learn to forbear! It's so unexpected!"
"Our plan is seamless, as long as the Julils family falls in, it will definitely be doomed, I doubt that this accident, will it have something to do with the guy my brother reported?"
"You mean the brute named Vecchia Falcon?" Algernon Pétain frowned slightly
"Yes, it's him!" The beautiful woman's capable and delicate face like a picture scroll was shrouded in a layer of coldness, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her red lips opened lightly, "Last time, he came out to stir up the situation, otherwise, Julil Lsfordburg, who was in trouble at home and abroad." On the way back to Beijing, he crashed headlong into our carefully arranged net, and he couldn't die anymore! There was still such trouble to be made there! In fact, no matter whether or not Fort Julilsford carried out the withdrawal order, it would not affect our overall situation, but my daughter has always felt some uneasy feelings in her heart recently, and the withdrawal of the Fifth Army to the country will inevitably make the northwest region of the empire face an attack by the Slavs, and I am afraid that in case of ......"
"Don't worry, there is no case!" Algernon Petain looked at the hesitation on his beloved daughter's face, laughed, and said confidently, "Your brother has become the commander-in-chief of the southwest, and more than 100,000 troops are waiting behind the southwest region, once the northwest is broken, the Julils family will inevitably become the sinners of the empire, but your brother can turn the tide and lead the army to drive out the Slavs who have a firm foothold, and when the time comes, the entire western part of the empire will be our Algernon's territory!" That's what I'm worried about, what if the Northwest is not broken through as we expected?" The beautiful woman bit her lip with a hesitant face and said, "Although I have done my best to let His Majesty the Emperor postpone the war against Gangfei, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue to drag on, and it will be difficult for the affairs of the Northwest to continue to cover up after all" The beautiful woman's voice stopped, and her eyes looked out the window at the golden striped flags floating all over the city. What's more, it is now November, once the news of the Fifth Army's abandonment of the Slavic region reaches back to the imperial capital, it will inevitably cause the entire imperial capital to shake, and I am afraid that when the time comes, under the pressure of external public opinion, even the emperor will not be able to continue to acquiesce like this!"
"Hehe, you don't understand this" Algernon Pétain said with a cold expression, "The Northwest Rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor is watching coldly, we are pressing on the Julils family step by step, and the Emperor is also turning a blind eye, which proves that the young heart of the Emperor Xià is very clear about the current situation!" The fall of the Northwest will only blame the Julils family, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing for the emperor who desperately needs a victory to establish his prestige, so that he can find a weak opponent to practice his hands before starting a full-scale war with the Gangfei Empire!" "Okay, I'll do my best!" The beauty looked at her father's determined look, and stood up and left helplessly, her tall figure with a uniform with silver threads on a black background, revealing an indescribable charm, and the officers passing by along the way gave way, with a hint of envy or lust in their eyes, but no one would have too many thoughts, not only because the other party's surname was Algernon, but also because of the other party's identity that made people feel pressure
Algernon Julia, the Imperial Imperial Family Affairs Officer, his father is the hot Duke of Algernon Petain in the Imperial military circles, the Deputy Minister of the Imperial Military Department, and his mother is Fiona Ni, the daughter of a nobleman with only a baronial title, but there is another rumor that Fiona Ni is actually the illegitimate daughter of the previous king, that is, this Algernon Giulia has the blood of the royal family in her body, strictly speaking, she should be called Princess Julia,
The Algernon family has never affirmed or denied this rumor, but since Algernon Giulia was only 18 years old, he set a precedent for a non-royal family to serve as the official of the royal family, and the truth of this rumor seems to need no need to be proven.
The main responsibility of the chief of royal affairs is to be responsible for the transmission and processing of the emperor's daily official documents, which is equivalent to the official secretary of the emperor's majesty in terms of authority.
Inside, if you anger this young lady, she can press your report for a month, or even a year, anyway, the reports handed to the emperor every day are piled up, and it is really normal to leave one or two copies behind.
If it weren't for the fact that this young lady was cold to everyone, whether it was a minister or an emperor, some people might start to speculate whether there would be a fourth princess or queen in the history of the empire.
Ten minutes after Algernon Giulia left, an urgent distress report was delivered to Algernonbe.
Picking up the report, Algernonbe's eyes shrank unnaturally, his calm hand even trembled slightly, it seemed that there was endless pressure, Algernonbe's eyes couldn't wait to read it, and then he threw the report on the table, sat on the leather sofa in the office, and was silent for a long time, family entanglements, national interests, personal grievances, Juliet Sforberg!
The Slavs finally set off as planned, and after three days of their own seizure of the report for help from the Stranded personnel of the Fifth Legion, countless Slavs flooded the original border line of the Fifth Legion, and the number of them was greater than imagined.
More than 200,000 Slavic front troops, and the number of people behind them is even more innumerable, and the defenders who stayed in place put up the last resistance, suffering heavy casualties.
In the encirclement of the Slavs, it is impossible to even retreat,
In this final report for help, the officers left behind wrote in blood, "We have done our best, may the empire live forever!"
"Come, send this letter to the Consulate General of the Southwest immediately!" Algernon Pétain calmed down the feelings in his heart, took out a letter from the drawer that had been written a long time ago, opened the door and handed it to the guards outside (to be continued......
