Chapter 46: Confusion
The sun had risen again, and it had a new day in Kawa, where the rumbling of artillery had not yet arrived, and the morning in the capital was still quiet.
Chappas and Adecha had become completely disillusioned with Poye, and they did not send any more people to Poye's house to-day to urge them, and when the closed-door meeting was over today and tomorrow, they would part ways with their old friend.
After the end of the day, today's closed-door meeting began, and the main discussion was how to deal with the possible joint intervention of Wei and neighboring countries.
At the same time, Poye uncharacteristically did not continue to shrink at home today, but quietly came to the north gate with three henchmen before the sun rose.
After making up his mind, Po Ye ordered one of his henchmen to quietly change the duty schedule at the north gate today, and replaced it with his own people who were loyal to Poye.
After leaving the north gate, Poye and his henchmen arrived at Barracks No. 3, where the 22nd and 61st Infantry Battalions, which were most loyal to Poye, were stationed.
These two infantry battalions belonged to the Third Legion, and had been his most trusted personal guard when Poye was the commander-in-chief of the legion, and he had to do what he had to do today without the slightest mistake, so the men and horses he had to bring with him must be the ones he trusted the most.
"May the Holy One bless me." The moment he stepped into the barracks, Poye closed his eyes and prayed in his heart.
He went to the main camp of the No. 3 barracks, summoned the commanders of the two infantry battalions and the officers in charge of the No. 3 barracks, and thoroughly explained to them what he was going to do today.
Poye's cronies had given the commanders of the 22nd and 61st battalions a brief blow in advance, and despite the tight schedule, both battalion commanders were mentally prepared and agreed to Poye's request.
The commander in charge of the third camp changed color, he did not believe that Poye could get the help of the Hanyue people, and in front of everyone, he scolded Poya for his betrayal.
Poye didn't say much, he had a cold face, and decisively ordered his subordinates to execute the chief officer of the No. 3 military camp on the spot.
What happened after that was not very thrilling, Poye took two battalions of troops and some of the people who were temporarily coerced, and with the help of his cronies at the North Gate, he drove directly into the city of Kawa.
The soldiers patrolling the city looked at the soldiers who hurried to the main camp strangely, and everyone wondered if the leader had some new orders, and none of them suspected that they had come to rebel, and Poye was also very clever to cover his face with his cloak to prevent some people from doubting after recognizing him.
Arriving at the gate of the main camp stationed in Keju Field, Poye took a deep breath, and in the face of the soldiers who were about to interrogate him about his intentions, he roared and gave the order to charge.
……
Since the morning, Cempas and the others have been discussing in the big tent, and the discussion is very lively, but everyone's face is at a loss.
The crux of the current situation is that if Wei really intervenes by force, how should Kawa respond?
Everyone discussed this issue from yesterday to today, but everyone had to admit the fact that it was impossible to prevent the Wei people from intervening by relying solely on the strength of the Kawa State itself.
"Leader, colleagues, my opinion is to get in touch with the Chita or Lucernes as soon as possible, and make some conditions that are enough to impress them, in exchange for them stationing troops in our country."
An officer made the offer to everyone, causing a commotion in the room.
Most of the members who attended the meeting were somewhat resistant to the foreign garrison in their hearts.
Sure enough, an officer with a scar on his face retorted: "Crando, your idea is indeed attractive, but it is not worth refuting on closer inspection!" First, what kind of conditions do we have to prescribe so that the Union Khanate and the Kingdom of Lucerne can be thousands of miles away and risk a conflict with the Wei people to station troops within our borders? Second, how can you be sure that they won't use this to point fingers at us once they're stationed? Colleagues, the independence and freedom of Kawa's mother is the independence and freedom of not obeying anyone! ”
An older officer interrupted Officer Scar and said, "Guys, first of all, I partially agree with Crando's proposal. In fact, we are very clear about the current situation, we must admit that we no longer have the qualifications to want and want, what we should do now is to choose the lesser of two evils, and choose one that is relatively less uncomfortable among the countless paths that make us feel sad. In the current situation, I think it is acceptable to find a way to pull other big powers to balance the Wei people, and between the checks and balances of the big powers, we may be able to retain a considerable part of the independent space. ”
He looked at the Scarface officer and said, "At least we can try to send an invitation to the Chita, anyway, the Chita have always been extremely taboo about interfering in other people's family affairs, although I don't know what their motivation is for this strategy, but this is still well-known in the world." ”
"And it will be easier to talk about mutual markets with them, and it will be easier to talk about investment than other countries, looking at the major countries in the world, the Cheta people have relatively minimal additional conditions when talking about business, and many things are in business." An officer added.
The atmosphere at the venue was finally a little more relaxed, and many people had a glimmer of hope for the future.
"But......" Adecha, who was sitting beside Chapas, frowned slightly, "The Alliance Khanate is too far away from us, how could the Chita people risk going to the Northern Rainforest Continent to play with the Wei people for us?" They have always sought stability in their foreign affairs strategy. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Chita people agree to our request, I'm afraid they won't be able to offset the influence of the Wei people in the Northern Rainforest Continent, if the Wei people want to intervene by force, can the Chita people really stop the Wei people? ”
"Your Excellency the General Staff Officer, no matter what, we have to give it a try, if it really succeeds, the Wei people will feel a rat trap, don't they, and there will always be more hope." One officer said, "Is there any other way we can go?" ”
The room fell silent, and no one seemed to be able to come up with a more workable plan.
All eyes were on Chappas.
Chappas was still looking down in contemplation, and it took a long time before he raised his head.
Just as he was about to say something, a commotion and shouting came in from outside.
The people present were all taken aback, and both Champas and Adetsa got up at the same time and asked loudly to the soldiers on duty outside, "What's wrong?" ”
Outside the tent, however, they were met only by a few screams and stumbling footsteps, and when the screams were over, there was no sound outside.
"What the hell is going on?" Chappas asked again, a deep sense of foreboding in his heart.
A gruff voice came in from outside, "You're surrounded!" On the orders of General Poye, arrest the traitors Chapas and Adecha, and get out of here with me! ”
It was like water being poured into a boiling oil pot, and the whole venue exploded completely after hearing this.
Chapas's body shook, and he held on to the chair beside him, and now, even the most dull person could figure out what was going on.
At the end of the road, Chapas, who had been overwhelmed in his heart these days, felt a long-lost lightness, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and then looked at his indignant colleagues around him, and said: "Don't panic, I'll go out and take a look, what they're looking for is me." ”
"Leader, no!" Adecha shouted eagerly.
But Chappas did not hesitate, he straightened his military uniform, and strode towards the door without hesitation.
Chappas lifted the curtain door and stepped out of the tent to meet a row of archers aiming their bows and arrows at them.
With the next breath, a wooden arrow with a feather tied to it pierced his chest.
In the blink of an eye, Cempas's mind flashed countless memories, the scrawny victims he met when he was young, the experience of traveling around to study when he grew up, the drinking with like-minded friends about the future of the country, and the firm gaze of his comrades-in-arms when he raised the banner of rebellion......
The second, third, and fourth arrows also pounced......
……
Inside the tent, Adecha and the others all stood up and stared at the curtain door in amazement.
Not long after Chapas went out, a group of soldiers armed with knives and guns burst into the tent and surrounded everyone in the venue.
An officer entered the tent and indifferently announced to the crowd: "Chapas has been killed by us for treason and misconduct, since you are his henchmen, then follow him on the road." If you are captured, Lord Poye can consider not pursuing your relatives and friends! ”
Ignoring the deterrence of the sword and gun, Adecha took two steps forward and asked coldly, "What about Poye, why is he not here, is it because you are using his name, or is he afraid to face the leader!" ”
The officer said contemptuously, "Lord Poye still has a lot of things to deal with, and I don't have time to talk nonsense about you dying people." ”
Adecha burst out laughing, and just as everyone was puzzled, he suddenly took two steps and snatched a wooden spear from one of the nearest soldiers.
"Traitors and traitors to the party will be killed!" The veteran roared, raised his spear, and stabbed at the officer who was taking the lead.
The leading rebel officer could never have imagined that this veteran, who usually looked elegant and gentle, would have such sharp marksmanship.
He was frightened by Adecha's blow, and in a panic, he hurriedly pulled a rebel soldier next to him to block him.
After a muffled sound, the soldier who was pulled to block the gun looked at the wooden gun that had sunk into his chest with an incredulous expression, his neck crooked, and he died.
The leading officer let out a strange scream, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, and a fishy smell came from his lower body.
Adecha drew his spear and raised it to stab again, but the rebel soldiers around him had already reacted.
They rushed forward, several spears piercing Adecha's body, but the veteran remained standing straight, glaring at everyone in front of him.
"The people of Kawa will not let you go, and Mother Kawa will not forgive you!" After shouting these words with almost all his might, Adecha finally died of anger, and two lines of blood and tears gushed from his eyes.
The rebel officer finally recovered from his panic, and he became angry and shouted frantically: "Kill them, Lord Poye has a great reward, give it to me!" ”
