Chapter 430 [Already Planned]

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the hallway.

On the open-air corridor in the palace, the golden-armored warriors on both sides couldn't help but look sideways.

I saw that the military attache was trotting all the way quickly, and there was an inner court attendant tiptoeing in front of him.

Just watched the two of them run one after the other, running wildly regardless of their image, and they knew that they were afraid that something bad would happen.

At the end of the promenade is a semi-open study.

Because it was autumn and the weather was still a little hot, this semi-open study room became an important place for the emperor's office.

The study resembles a pavilion, with only two walls, a half-open screen in front and a lake in the palace at the back.

In this weather, sitting in this study, with your back to the lake, you can just blow the cool breeze that is slightly sent to dissipate the heat.

However, at this moment, several palace attendants standing outside the study were already sweating, and everyone's faces were full of nervousness and panic.

Because...... The Imperial Supreme in the study is furious!

......

Shiloh rarely gets angry. He was tough and reserved, and even before and after the coup, he was always an unfathomable man, rarely showing his joy and anger.

Today, however......

Bang!!

A pen holder slammed out and smashed against the half-fixed screen.

This screen, carved by the famous art master of the empire, was instantly shattered!

Behind the falling screen, Shiloh's face, which was a little pale from anger, was revealed!

Several attendants hurriedly ran over to lift the screen in a panic, and some experienced people immediately ran to get a curtain and replace the screen.

And Shiloh inside, coldly confessed an order:

The people outside, all of them retreated twenty meters!

No one dared to disobey the emperor's orders.

And at the moment. In this study by the lake, there are only two people who are qualified to stand in front of Shiloh and bear his anger.

The new Prime Minister of the Empire, former Chancellor of the Exchequer Orvieto.

And...... Minister of War, the number one boss of the military, Aker.

Aker's face was also very ugly, he took a deep breath, and slowly knelt down on one knee in front of Shiloh, his tone was a little difficult:

"陛xià...... This was my mistake! I didn't know how to use people. Cochrane of the 3rd Division was also recommended by me. ”

Shiloh gasped and stared at Aker. His voice seemed to have calmed down, and it sounded calm, but only those who knew him well knew what kind of anger and disappointment were contained in this calm voice.

"Aker. Shiloh said slowly, "You are the person I trust the most, and you are about to become my father-in-law...... You know very well how much I rely on you, what I expect from the Rollin family, but this time, you really disappointed me!"

Aker didn't speak. Just knelt there and hung his head deeply.

"Cochrane was recommended by you, and I remember that the article you wrote about him was described as "cautious, steady, resolute and resolute." It's up to the task!!"

Speaking of this, Shiloh slowed down his speech and said slowly, word by word: "You sue me, where is this guy worthy of your evaluation? He has the strength of a division. On the border, facing the Messiah, there were only 3,000 cavalry, but the exhausted army had passed a long journey. But he didn't even dare to put an arrow! He was so frightened by the Messiah that he almost peed his pants! The dignified Thor's whip, facing the Tulip family's only 3,000 weak army, did not even have the courage to fight...... He didn't even have the courage to stop him, so he fled in a hurry, and almost the whole army collapsed! Afterwards, this guy couldn't even do the work of cleaning up the aftermath! He didn't even do anything to remedy it-if he was frightened, frightened and stupid! But if he calmed down afterwards and sent a cavalry to pursue, to delay, to bite the Messiah's ranks...... There is no way she can rush to the Northwest Fortress in such a short time!!

The result?

The Messiah hit Sylvester by surprise!!

Sylvester probably didn't expect that there were two divisions of Thor's whip on the border, but the Messiah's counterinsurgency army could rush all the way under his nose at such a fast speed and still maintaining an intact army formation!!

But if that fool from Cochrane had the slightest courage to let out an arrow, things would never have turned out to be so ridiculous!!"

There was already a trace of sweat on Aker's forehead, and he slowly raised his head, trying to use his most peaceful tone, and whispered: "Your Majesty...... Cochrane is a son of my Rollin family, and has always been loyal and reliable. And...... At...... When he did something that night, he also made a lot of meritorious contributions, and he was decisive in handling things...... I ......"

When Aker said this, his face was also full of annoyance: "I didn't expect him to be so cowardly this time......"

"But such a waste, but because of your recommendation, he sat in the position of commander of a division!" Shiloh's tone was very sharp: "At the beginning, you asked the Third Division not to have a full division commander, but to let him lead the whole army as a deputy division commander...... I have reminded you of this request, and I have asked you again and again whether this person is reliable and worthy of reuse! But what promises did you make to me?"

Aker's face turned pale.

In fact, if Cochran was standing in front of him at this moment, Aker really had the heart to slash that guy alive!

This is simply a shame for the Imperial Army! A shame for Thor's whip! A shame for the Rollin family!!

The elite of a division, in the face of the 3,000 tired cavalry led by a young girl, did not even dare to fight, and collapsed directly in battle......

What's more, the direct result of this matter is that it ruined Shiloh's overall northwest plan!

The news of Sylvester's defeat almost arrived in the imperial capital before and after Cochran's emergency military situation.

Getting such two bad news in a row is really so hot that people can't send it out!

Just after receiving an urgent military message from Cochran, reporting that the Messiah had broken through the border of Nurin Province and attacked the northwest fortress.

Shiloh and Aker already knew it was bad!

But after all, this is thousands of miles away from the northwest, and the emperor and the minister of military affairs in the imperial capital are far away, even if they have any clever plans, they can't react at such a long distance.

Just when the two of them were angry and urgently discussing countermeasures...... The bad news that the Northwest Independent Division was recovered by the Messiah in one day has been delivered!

I don't have time to react!

The Messiah entered the camp alone. The whole army defected, and then led the troops to storm the northwest fortress, and the whole army defected...... In the end, besieging the Commander's Palace, the Messiah personally challenged Sylvester under the watchful eye of everyone, and then in full view of everyone, this young girl, who had always been looked down upon by everyone, defeated Sylvester, and quickly and neatly!

Sylvester was directly deposed, and his life and death are unknown......

Up here. Shiloh, who originally had a comprehensive plan, already knew very well that his plan had completely changed!

Aker was furious and wanted to kill the waste-like Cochrane - that guy was so decisive and fierce on the night of the coup d'état in the imperial capital, but he didn't expect to show his soft egg when facing the duchess.

It really made Aker beat his chest afterwards and snort that he was blind.

And Shiloh, on the other hand, wished he could scrape that guy alive.

Just as Shiloh angrily questioned Aker, the other imperial tycoon standing in the study, the new prime minister, Oviedo, coughed. Slowly spoke.

The old man, however, unexpectedly remained calm at the moment.

When he coughed, Shiloh immediately put away his anger and turned to Oviedo. His expression had calmed down.

"Prime Minister, do you have any opinions?"

Oviedo sighed in his heart, but his expression was still calm: "Your Majesty...... In the current situation, the Minister of War is blindly reprimanded for not knowing how to appoint people. It didn't help. ”

Shiloh hummed and nodded, and he looked at Aker, who was kneeling there on one knee. walked over, personally helped Aker up with both hands, and said: "General, I was so angry just now that I was afraid that my words were out of proportion...... Between you and me, the monarch and the minister, naturally know each other, don't take it to heart. ”

Aker's expression was slightly moved, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this time I am derelict in my duties, and I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." It's just that for now, we have to hurry up and come up with a countermeasure. ”

Shiloh seemed to have completely calmed down.

He actually pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a strange smile, and then looked at Oviedo with a smile: "The Prime Minister was silent for a long time before he spoke...... I guess there's a good idea?"

Oviedo shook his head: "I don't dare to say it, it's just this matter...... In fact, if you look closely, you may not really blame General Aker. ”

"Oh?"

Shiloh raised an eyebrow.

Oviedo's expression remained unchanged, but he looked directly into Shiloh's eyes: "The real reason why this matter has developed to the current situation is ...... We've all mistaken the duchess. ”

Shiloh's face moved, and then he was silent for a while.

The new emperor nodded slowly.

He actually sat back calmly, picked up a pen and played with it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Not bad...... I did miscalculate her. ”

Shiloh's expression was a little strange: "I didn't expect that my little aunt would be so decisive, so bold and daring to give it a go." ”

"Judging from the military intelligence report we have received, Duke Tulip's cavalry was able to run so quickly to the border of Nulin Province, and it is clear that this Duchess made a very quick decision! I even suspect that on the day she received the news, she immediately gathered her army and set off...... And judging from the military information presented by Cochran, the Tulip family's cavalry set off lightly, without even any logistics and baggage, and rushed on light horses...... Obviously, the decision to send troops was also made by the duchess on an ad hoc basis - she did not hesitate or get entangled, and as soon as she received the news of the Northwest Independent Division, she immediately made the decision to personally lead the army to quell the rebellion...... This speed, this determination, this perseverance...... This kind of courage was something we never expected. ”

Shiloh sneered: "Not bad...... Originally, I thought of a soft knife and slowly bleed. I thought that in the situation of being trapped on several sides and being forced internally and externally, this little aunt of mine should adopt a forbearant attitude, but I didn't expect her to be so crazy...... So bold!"

Oviedo glanced at Shiloh, and suddenly bowed slightly: "Speaking of boldness, your courage is not small. ”

Shiloh snorted and didn't say anything.

"Then now things are clear. Oviedo said slowly: "Even if the Tulip family recovers the Northwest Independent Division, in fact, think about it carefully...... Not really. Anyway, the Northwest Independent Division was originally theirs. It's just a windfall for us, and it's better to get it, if we can't...... It didn't hurt anyway.

However, the most important question now is what will this duchess do next after recovering the Northwest Independent Division and eliminating the group led by Sylvester. ”

Aker frowned, his face solemn: "Prime Minister...... What do you mean...... Civil war?"

"Yes!"

Oviedo's tone was very crisp and direct, and he glanced at Aker: "It's not subtle." Our actions this time are to anger a sleeping beast! Even if this beast is sick, even if this beast still has many problems of its own that have not been solved...... But what the angry beast will do next, none of us can guarantee. ”

Aker thought for a moment, and he speculated from a military point of view:

"The Messiah should not continue to act in a radical way. She had just recaptured the Northwest Independent Division...... Sylvester has been operating there for many years, and even though the low-level officers and soldiers still support the Tulip family, almost all the officers at the top are infiltrated and influenced by Sylvester. Prime Minister, you have not brought any soldiers. It may not be clear...... When the original command of an army is all gone...... Even if its middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers are still basically intact, I am afraid that it will not be able to form combat effectiveness for a considerable period of time.

Although the Messiah said that the process of counterinsurgency was swift and vigorous. But the question that really made her head one. After the counterinsurgency, how to completely recover this army, especially to reunite its combat effectiveness.

She needs to retrain this army, and it will take a while to slowly erase the influence and traces of Sylvester's group, and then give the command a major change. Assemble your trusted officer corps and generals to lead that army.

In particular, that army used to be a 'rebel army', then after it was recovered. Many people will have doubts in their hearts, worried that the family will be guilty afterwards, and the army will be panicked.

Moreover, being a rebel can greatly damage the sense of honor and morale of an army - a sense of honor and morale that cannot be molded for a long time.

Even the best generals will have at least half a year to take over this army, re-command them to stand up, and form their previous combat effectiveness. ”

Oviedo didn't speak, but listened carefully to Aker's opinion, and the old man listened very carefully, very seriously.

Aker continued: "The energy of the Messiah will be temporarily dragged there...... I don't think she has the energy to do anything more for the time being.

As for the civil war...... There is no information about the Tulip family's full-scale war mobilization...... You and I, we are all well aware that the Tulip family has great power, and they also have formidable war potential, but these potentials need to be mobilized, at least ...... If they want to fight a civil war, they need to do the war mobilization of the whole territory, the whole family! reserves, logistics, baggage, army assembly, mobilization...... None of this they are doing now...... So ......"

Aker seems to be very confident, and the analysis he has made is indeed very reasonable.

But it only took a few words for Oviedo to shake the military minister.

"You may be right. The old man said casually: "But before this, we also thought that this duchess would not react so violently, and we did not expect that she would suddenly dare to cross the border to quell the rebellion with a mere three thousand cavalry in person......! The two divisions of Thor's Whip had 50,000 men! The Northwest Independent Division had 30,000 men! Theoretically, she took 3,000 men with her, rushed into the sphere of influence of 80,000 enemy troops, and then ...... And she did it. ”

Shiloh, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke at this moment.

He glanced at the prime minister and said slowly, "What Lord Orvieto said makes sense...... We always prepare for the worst. Now it seems that my little aunt was much more daring than all of us had expected. ”

Aker's mind was spinning fast.

He suddenly walked to Xiluo's desk, and without asking Xilo, he directly stretched out his arm and swept it on the table, sweeping away all the books and books on the table.

The general quickly picked up a dagger and carved it on the expensive square table that could be called a work of art.

He was portraying a topographical map of the Northwest.

"Your Majesty's situation...... We also have two divisions of Thor's Whip on the border of Nulin Province! These two divisions are complete in strength and strength, and there are no losses. The complete combat effectiveness of the army of 50,000!

This will be our greatest reliance in the Northwest at this stage.

My advice is to immediately withdraw the forces of these two divisions from the border of Nulin Province. Gather in Mulan City, the capital of Nulin Province.

Mulan City will become our most important stronghold in the northwest, and it is also an important town!

50,000 people, even if they don't do anything, just stay in Mulan City and be a nail...... It is also enough to nail the Tulip family's forces to the northwest!

Unless they have the ability to eat the two divisions of Thor's Whip in one bite - I don't think that duchess has such ability! Pacifying the Northwest Independent Division in one day, she relied on the prestige of the Tulip family, and the Northwest Independent Division was originally the family's private army!

But Thor's Whip ...... Still reliable!

As long as the whip of the Thor of the two divisions is nailed to death in Nulin Province, then unless the Tulip family is mobilizing for a full-scale war and officially tearing its face to start a civil war, otherwise. There was no way they could go beyond Mulan City!

If this duchess went crazy again and dared to take a few partial divisions to play another light cavalry raid, the imperial capital would not be a northwest fortress! ”

After a pause, Aker said slowly: "Even if she really decides to fight a civil war, the two divisions' Thor's whips nailed to the northwest can buy us enough time to prepare for the war......! Even if Tulip is powerful, she only has a corner in the northwest, and compared to the war potential, the Tulip family cannot compete with the entire empire.

And...... In my opinion, the most important thing is...... Who shoots the first arrow first.

The Tulip family does have a high prestige in the Empire. But this prestige is based on the image they have created as heroes of the empire! If the Tulip family takes the initiative to start a civil war and take the initiative to lead the army to leap forward and attack...... Then the name of provoking a civil war will be crowned on their heads.

At that time, the people's hearts may not be turned towards them.

And we...... In addition to the plan of the two divisions of Thor's Whip to defend Mulan City on the spot...... There is still some preparation to be made.

I will immediately mobilize the 2nd and 1st Divisions of Thor's Whip!

Furthermore. Draw a portion of the Northern Storm Legion and move south along the center.

The Wangcheng Guards immediately prepared for war, and if necessary, two infantry regiments were transferred. Go up the Lancang Canal and strangle the waterway first.

Imperial Air Cavalry Divisions can be prepared for maneuver......

If the war breaks out in full...... As long as we make these preparations first, then we can at least be invincible. ”

Aker was quick to tell the whole story.

And Oviedo, who stood aside. But there was a gleam in his eyes!!

Such a meticulous and thoughtful overall plan...... Several of the main army corps of the Empire, elite divisions, and even the Royal City Guard, the Air Cavalry Division......

and strangling waterways......

Three-sided comprehensive plan of water, land and air......

It is impossible for Aker to think of it in such a meticulous and thoughtful way!

Obviously, such a comprehensive and thoughtful military deployment plan to comprehensively suppress the tulip family...... It's definitely a draft that Aker has thought about for a long time and countless times!

Other words...... The commander of the Rollin family, at least from a military point of view, had a comprehensive plan and concept of how to deal with the Tulip family early on!

I have already planned it!

......

Shiloh was noncommittal to Aker's words—but from the look of surprise on his face, Oviedo could tell that it was not the first time Shiloh had heard these things from Aker!

Shiloh pondered for a moment and said slowly, "These subsequent military transfers can be discussed later...... The top priority at the moment is the two divisions of the Thunder God Whip in Nulin Province! If you want to be nailed to the northwest, the commander must have the courage and courage to dare to confront the Tulip family head-on...... That Cochrane must not be used again!"

Aker thought for a while, took a deep breath, he took a step back, and knelt down on one knee in front of Shiloh: "Your Majesty! The affairs of the northwest are related to the overall situation, I will build yì, and I will personally go to the northwest to sit in the town and command those two divisions!"

It's a very nice build.

After all, in terms of identity...... Aker is the leader of the Rollin family, and only he can not fall behind when facing the leader of the Tulip family.

Changed someone else's words...... I'm afraid that I will be like that Cochrane, as soon as I saw the battle flag of the Tulip family, I knelt down first.

Shiloh carefully pondered this Jianyì.

He seemed to be really moved.

But here's the problem...... If Aker goes to the northwest, then the overall military deployment will lack a commander who sits in the center and controls the overall situation.

And this location...... Seems more important than the Northwest thing!

Moreover, non-ordinary people, those with slightly weaker identities will never be able to do it!

But after all, Aker can't be separated......

Just when the Northwest hesitated......

Outside the curtain of the study, a cold and calm voice came.

"陛xià...... Northwest trip, maybe I can share the worries of Lord Aker. ”

Before the words fell, a figure with long sleeves and a handsome figure lifted the curtain and strode in!

The short hair is clearly freshly shaved.

A thin and handsome face with bright eyes and a sharp gaze!

A heroic and extraordinary military general's light armor makes this person even more heroic!

And the only thing that makes people sigh is his right arm!

The sleeve of the right arm, empty......

"Panin?"

Shiloh's eyes lit up, and he looked at Panin who walked in, and he didn't get angry at him for being uninvited.

In fact, Shiloh had already granted Panin the privilege of entering and leaving the palace at will.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Panin stood there, bowing slightly, the corners of his mouth still raising the grim smile of that time: "I didn't deliberately eavesdrop on your secret conversation with the two of you...... It's just that this curtain can't block the sound, and my hearing is better than normal. ”

"Needless to say!" Shiloh waved his hand, he stared at Panin, and his tone was very stern: "You...... Are all your injuries healed?"

Panin said lightly: "Except for the broken arm, it won't grow back...... The rest, it's nothing. ”

Shiloh took a deep breath and whispered, "Panin...... You know that I have a lot of importance to you, and ...... Because of your arm, I owe you a lot, and if I could, I would prefer to give you a high rank elsewhere, and ......"

"No, your majesty. Panin shook his head, and his tone was very resolute: "Please let me go to the northwest! Although I am of humble status, I am far inferior to Lord Aker...... But at least, I still have the courage not to bend down in the face of the tulip family!"
