If Minerva had been a man, what would have become of Charlemagne?
The question that had been studied at the time when Richelieu raised the political marriage was now resurfaced in Li Lin's thinking space, churning with the bumps of the carriage.
First of all, the position of the crown prince will become precarious, compared with Louis, who has some small talents but is a mess in the grand strategic direction, "he" is closer to the ideal successor to the throne in all aspects, not only to win the favor of Charles IV, but also to gather the popularity of important ministers, who values the kingdom itself and the royal family, and does not have much opinion on tradition. With careful cultivation and more experience, a new king who can lead Charlemagne out of the storm of turmoil is likely to be born. And "his" brothers have no ability to resist, at most they will cause a little trouble, or assassination.
As a result, V.E.'s strategic planning will be more subtle and low-key than it is now, and preparations for the War of Independence will be greatly accelerated, and it may even be possible to provoke a war earlier than the scheduled timetable. This is also true in other countries.
In this way, it will not only be Charlemagne's business, but the situation of the whole world will change drastically. The reason for this is that Charlemagne is an unavoidable roadblock on the road to Gilmania's revival, and it is inevitable that there will be no geopolitical or structural confrontations, which has little to do with who Charlemagne's king or crown prince is, but is a more fundamental question.
All of the above is just hypothetical, but at this moment Minerva began to act like a prince, which forced Li Lin to take some action to express his concern.
Everybody hates spoiler bastards, especially the ones who jump out and get involved when it matters most. Li Lin will not be angry about this. But in order to plan the execution of the line, maintain the cohesion of the organization, and ensure the Crystal Palace of Roland...... Ahem, the harmonious life after marriage. It is necessary to tap the hand of Her Royal Highness that is too long, so that she can settle down a little, so as to save her from using extraordinary means to educate in the future.
For example, throwing a little girl into a cellar full of insects and smashing her personality into a reconstruction, chopping off her limbs and filling her body with tubes to transform them into "meat urinals", and injecting nerve agents to make her a "Barbie" addicted to sensuality -- several other sets of contingency plans have been prepared long ago. In the unlikely event that it occurs, it is advisable to take appropriate measures. For now, let's look forward to Dezru's efforts.
Exhale smoothly. The cold eyes looked out the car window at the night sky, covered by heavy clouds, not to mention the stars, not even the moonlight could penetrate the heavy lead-gray curtain.
Tomorrow - the 26th day of the wind and the moon that will decide the fate of many people. It seems like it's going to be a nice snowy day.
###############
At midnight. Snowflakes fell silently from the sky. Soon, the snow became heavier and heavier, and finally it turned into a goose feather snow that is rare in a century. Lüders, who had fallen asleep, gradually put on a white coat.
It's silent. In the white world, where even life seems to be frozen, a chaotic and ominous pace echoes in the barracks.
"Wartime code communications?"
Walking quickly up the stairs of the communication room, he casually returned the salute to the guards who straightened their waists, and from the inside of the room came the code words used by the northern front five years ago. The knight of Bernard Magnan felt his body tremble with excitement.
It was divided into several paragraphs, and the content was still being interpreted. ”
Eugène Ruet, the knight of Hou, replied blandly, and beside him, several magicians were flipping through several books of classical poetry.
This is a very old alternative code communication, in which a given collection of poems or literature is used to select words from the text and respell them into the message they want to convey by comparing the arrangement of the code words with specific numbers. The disadvantage is that the conversion speed is too slow, and it is easy to delay when encountering long communications.
Magnan knew this, but Rouet's untense expression still made him unhappy.
Suppressed by the powerful, chaebols, and other branches of the military, he was raised like a watchdog in this era of war and non-war, and as a result, he raised this loose face that forgot what struggle was. Obviously, this man was fighting on the front line in Lapland at his own age.
It is not a day or two that the officers of the martial arts faction are disgusted with the slow and logical style of the magicians, and now the content of this secret letter is indeed very important, and Manion can only take the coffee brought by the orderly and wait patiently.
About half an hour passed, and after double-checking, the cadres of the Wang Dao faction who carried out the mutiny plan finally saw what they should do.
The first step of the plan was to detonate the bomb in the theater, the semi-enclosed structure of the box would increase the lethality, and the destruction of the pillars would cause the collapse and form a secondary damage. After such an explosion, it is absolutely impossible for Li Lin and Richelieu and others to survive the "first evil".
The second step, which is what these soldiers have to perform, is to occupy the building of the Ministry of Magical Communications with the cooperation of the internal response, and master the external liaison function of Lüdes. Delaying and preventing the Navy and Titans from sending reinforcements to the garrisons. At the same time, they divided their troops to assassinate "the bad guys around His Majesty the King" and "the ministers".
In the third step, after physically eliminating all the leaders of the anti-royal forces, the receiving troops from outside the city will arrive to help disarm the navy and the Titans garrison in the capital, and if they encounter resistance, they will all be regarded as rebels and destroyed.
In the third step, General Cleonpaul would declare the Crown Prince as the temporary head of the armed forces in accordance with the "urgent appointment of His Majesty the King", and order a state of emergency throughout the country, and no troops would be allowed to move until they had received an order from the Crown Prince himself.
In the fourth step, the crown prince returned to Lüdes by the secret route that had already been arranged, and received the edict of the "prison of the state" from His Majesty the king, and officially performed his duties to purge the chaebols and magnates.
Under the above-mentioned outline of the plan, specific details were transmitted, including the marching routes of each unit, assassination lists, occupied targets, operational codes, cut-ins for identifying friend and foe, and precautions. In order to translate and calibrate these ciphered contents, the magicians who kept an eye on the communication gems and keys were almost half exhausted, and it was time for the GIs to perform.
"Gentlemen, please check the table. ”
Manion tugged at the silver chain hanging from his jacket, and the officers and non-commissioned officers in the communications room followed suit, took out the pocket watch that had just been distributed, and opened the waterproof cover engraved with the V.E logo.
"It's the 25th day of the wind and the moon, 11:35 a.m., and ...... At 10 hours and 5 minutes, that is, at 9:40 a.m. on the 26th day of the wind and moon, those wanton traitors will be punished by heaven. Operation Valkyrie will be officially launched. ”
The sound of swallowing saliva streaked across the dead room, the air suddenly warmed up, and a pair of bloodshot eyes shone with excitement.
"Please remember that we have no way out, we can only succeed and not fail. For the sake of the country's restoration, and in order to save the country from the hands of those wanton traitors, we must make a choice and resolutely honor the king and fight for adultery. Either become a hero to save the country, or become a heinous national thief!"
Taking a deep breath of air, feeling the slow intoxication paralyzing his body, Magnão licked his lips and whispered:
"In the name of the Mother Goddess, a qiē for the motherland!" (To be continued......)
