Wounded?

What kind of level of uh trauma?

Will it be good for the empire if I get hurt?

A few hellos popped up from my head.

"I say you're injured, but I don't really want you to be injured, it's just an excuse that you can't go to the front in person, because now you've become the god of war of the Empire. As long as you are not defeated by the French or defeated by the enemy for a day, no matter how many defeats we have, they will still have a hope of victory for the soldiers and the army! However, as you said earlier, you are only a fairly good military general, not a military genius. "Nikis, whether you are a genius with great military talent or not, you cannot be sent to the front in the early days of the war. For, the French generals are looking for you to prove their military prowess, and in order that we may cross the ocean from the flanks to attack the French at the necessary moment, I need you to play again at a later time, to attract the attention of the French, and let them turn their attention to the final battle of you, the greatest general of the Roman Empire!"

Pursing my lips, I asked, "Then what am I going to do during the time of my injury in the official statement?"

"Go to the south and help Alexander kill all the heretics who survive in the south!" a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of Daddy Cheap's mouth, he waved his hand, snorting with excitement, "Those infidels, instigated by the French, have united together, and they think that we will make Europa our main target! We're going to make the territory of the empire their burial ground!"

"Caesar, I don't need my brother's help, I am personally up to the task of completely strangling the infidels. I think it's better for you to send Nikis to Europa again, let him put on makeup, and put a puppet in front of the stage, with his talent, if not to keep the empire in Europa, he will not fall into the face of those French generals. Alexander stepped forward.

"Alex, how many times have I told you. The Empire can't afford to lose a war! Even if you have the confidence to defeat the infidels, I'm going to send Nikis over, whatever. Don't you want to work with your brother to win a glorious victory for the Empire?"

Cheap Daddy blocked Alexander to death with a word, and Alexander looked at me: "I am willing to obey Caesar's orders." ”

My head was a mess, but there was one thing I kept in mind: "Caesar." We want to declare war on the French. Isn't it too much pressure for our army to declare war on the infidels again?"

"The empire had four million five hundred and seventy thousand men in Anatolia, a little more than two hundred and sixty thousand men, and now there were two hundred and seventy thousand Anatolians in service in the whole country, and the total number of troops was nearly three hundred and fifty thousand, and if there was a need, let alone one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand. Three hundred thousand, we are all able to draw out of the Anatolian region and arm into the Imperial Legion. ”

Two years ago, the empire had less than 200,000 troops. Why did it skyrocket to 350,000 all of a sudden?

But this is not the point, but the sentence behind the cheap daddy, if necessary, the empire can also draw 300,000 from the Anatolian Empire, 300,000 plus 270,000, that is 570,000 people, almost one out of five men in Anatolia joined the army!

The rate of joining the army in the way of one out of ten is too cruel, and now he is still thinking about one out of five, I can't help but exclaim: "Caesar, are you crazy?!Women lose their husbands, sons lose their fathers, parents lose their sons, do you want all families in Anatolia to experience such pain after the war!"

"Painful... If it's really necessary to get there, that's what their lives are all about. After all, the Empire invested so many human and material resources in this region of Anatolia to retransform this region into the Empire's barracks. ”

"Converted into a barracks?" I said in disbelief what I heard, "what do you mean?"

"As it literally says, the Empire needs an army, an army with a great sense of honor, an army of bravery, an army with high morale even if it is a new expedition. So your grandfather and I transformed the most suitable Anatolia into an imperial barracks. ”

"We tout them, exaggerate their exploits, make them think they are the guardians of the Empire, tell them that the Empire will die if it were without them in the invasion of the infidels, proclaim that they are the heroes of the Empire, obliterate and diminish the contributions of other regions, and make the people of Anatolia think that they are the only ones who have made great contributions. And then there is no mention of the splendor of the Imperial Legion that has been made up of other regions since three hundred years since Emperor Reinstein the Great. ”

"In other words, it's all a lie?"

"It can't all be said to be lies, my son, but when a lie is told a thousand times, then even a lie is true. ”

"General Sebaras was exiled because he sensed your intentions?"

"Almost, Nikis, I know that you have admired General Sebaras since you were a child, and you have thought too much of the profession of a soldier because of some of the knowledge you have been exposed to. I can tell you here that the armies of our empire are nothing but a bunch of blind fools!a bunch of greedy locusts!a bunch of traitors who are not trustworthy at all!!' protect the empire?" a sneering snort echoed through the halls, "no, their slogans are loud and great, and they are nothing more than what is behind the glory and victory, the spoils of war! gold, women, wealth, that's what they want." They want to be satisfied just by themselves. It is my own vanity! It is my own desires! It is myself! Today, they stand behind our Seofano family only because I have given them enough benefits, and I have satisfied their vanity, that they are loyal to me. If this war is lost, we Theofano will lose everything we have, and all the worthy troops you trust will betray us in an instant, and even lead the way in firing the first shot at us!

"Enough!" was the first time I had interrupted the father of this world, and I felt pain when I looked into his eyes, and there was contempt in his eyes for those soldiers, this is the emperor I used to think the Roman Empire deserved?

"I can willingly accept your suppression of me, because I know that you are Caesar, and you have to think about the empire, and Alexander will be the emperor of the entire empire in the future! I can also understand your intention to install Assasin by my side, because you are Caesar, and you should not worry that I am alone with the army. So you want to marry the widow Wendir, and I did, and I did it very hard! You asked me to leave the Russian battlefield, and I did it! You put Assasin to watch me, and I could accept it with peace of mind! But..."

I can't take it anymore.

"I can't accept you insulting the soldiers of our empire like this! That guy Cebaras even closed his eyes and wanted to contribute his wisdom to you, to the empire, to that double-headed eagle!!"

"In France, do you know what the reaction of the soldiers was when I said that I was going to make an attack on Versailles with no return!! Long live Rome! Long live the Empire!"

"For the glory of this country! For the sake of this empire, they can not even want their lives! How can you slander them like this!"

"Calm down, calm down!" Alexander pulled me from behind.

"Calm down, how do you tell me to be calm, Alexander, for the sake of the empire, more than 3,000 Romans died in battle! Do you know what I felt when I sat alone in the cabin and wrote letters to the families of the soldiers who died in battle? Do you know what I felt when I wrote those high-sounding words on the paper word by word? Do you know what I felt when I wrote a letter and found that many of the fallen soldiers had the same surnames!"

"Caesar, I don't deny that some soldiers love wealth and some love women, but they are all human beings! They have all kinds of shortcomings, but they are all principled!" (To be continued......
