"What is that Leco guy doing here?"

Duke Rubinsark's eyebrows frowned slightly, he had heard that the navy was very poor in the Southern Campaign, and His Majesty the Emperor was very dissatisfied with the admiral who was in charge of naval affairs, and in the reply to the Imperial Military Department, His Majesty asked Rubin Sark to find a new helmsman of the navy, and for Rubinsark, who was familiar with the military circles just like his own back garden, he immediately set his eyes on the Admiral of the Second Fleet of the Navy.

Admiral Mutbaisu is 34 years old this year, brave in battle, cautious in style, is a rare conservative in the navy, and is in line with the current needs of the imperial navy in urgent need of rest, at least this Admiral Mutbaisu will not pat his chest in front of the emperor Xià in front of the emperor Xià to ensure that there is no effortless and other bold words, if it were not for the navy's excessive support, the consumption of countless financial resources and food of the empire, the mobilization of one-third of the empire's army, and the embarrassment of the empire to the southern expedition would not have appeared"Admiral Leko, please come in!"

Rubin Sark shouted to the door with a solemn face, he could vaguely guess the purpose of this Admiral Leko's trip, because he heard some kind of rumor, looking at the non-military world, there are very few people who can influence the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, and he is undoubtedly the most authoritative one of the few "pop" The door was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man wearing a Phnom Penh Imperial Navy uniform with a slightly chubby figure cautiously walked in from the outside, and when he saw Duke Rubin Sark, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face, "Lord Minister" The Admiral followed His Majesty to the south! Is it because His Majesty the Emperor has already returned to Beijing?" He made a gesture to him to sit down, and his face deliberately showed a look of surprise, "This...... Naturally not, I came back early on my own. ”

This Leco, who was about to hand over Chen Wei to the former Admiral of the Navy, showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he had been running for a day and a night without sleep, and said with a painful expression, "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor decided to change the Admiral of the Navy, so he deliberately ran back in advance!"

"How could I not know?" said Rubin Sark, pretending to be surprised, with a hint of relief in his eyes. Really. The news is still leaked!

"There is no need to hide it, in fact, I already have such an awareness!"

Leko shook his head and said with a calm face, "This Southern Campaign. The Navy was so pressed that it couldn't raise its head. Plus the sudden withdrawal of the Strand Navy as a mercenary. In the end, the battle of Daozhì failed, and even if His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to be dismissed on the spot, I did not complain at all! It was because on the way back that I suddenly received a report from the Putao detachment! After thinking about it for a while, I still felt that I would come back in person to meet with the minister for the last time, because this report made me feel uneasy!"

"Uneasy? What kind of report makes the Admiral so nervous?"

Duke Rubinsack's white eyebrows raised slightly, and he could hear the sincerity in Admiral Leco's tone

"Admiral Alange of the Putao Detachment reported that he encountered the large naval fleet of the Falcon Empire in the Huacheng Island Chain in the Putao Sea!" "Leko cautiously took out a report from his bosom and respectfully placed it in front of Duke Rubin Sark, "Huacheng!"

Rubin Sack held the hand of the report and felt the heat like a fire, and looked at the location above in disbelief, yes, Huacheng Island Chain!

Duke Rubinsark's solemn gaze flickered imperceptibly like the tip of a needle, Huacheng! It was the lair of the Putao rebels! The Falcon Navy actually appeared in the Huacheng island chain! Rubin Sark suddenly had a feeling of clearing the clouds,

That's right, there is only this possibility, so it can be explained, the Putao rebels have become stronger all of a sudden, obviously because of the support of the Falcon Empire! The most likely, the other party has simply replaced the Putao rebels with the Falcon Army!"It's no wonder that Remchatt's head in Lisbonto was bleeding, and he couldn't get close to this half-ruined city!"

Rubin Sark read the report impatiently, and no longer bothered to say anything, so he went straight to the desk and picked up the pen, wrote a few bright red words on the report, "Pay attention to the Falcon Army", and shouted loudly to the guards at the door, "Someone, immediately send this report to Remchatt on the battlefield of Lisbento as soon as possible"

"It seems that this report is quite in time!" Admiral Leko on the other side showed a hint of relaxation, stood up from his seat, took out a thick piece of Wen Jiàn from his arms, and gently placed it on Rubin Sark's desk, "This is?" Rubin Sark looked at Wen Jiàn on the table and asked with a curious expression

Admiral Leko smiled at the corner of his mouth, "This is a comprehensive investigation report that I have spent three years on the entire Imperial Navy, whether it is experience or grandstanding, I only hope that this document can play a little role in the reform of the Imperial Navy, then I will be satisfied" "Why do you want to give me such a thing?" Rubin Sark asked hesitantly

Admiral Raiko had a faint wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Originally, I wanted to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to return to Beijing, and then submit it with his resignation," Admiral Raiko's voice paused before continuing, "But then I still felt that even if I submitted it in such an environment, His Majesty the Emperor, who was very dissatisfied with me, would not take a look at it, so I decided that even if it was considered brazen, I hoped that I could borrow the hand of the minister and personally hand it over to the next Admiral!"

"I have only one wish, may the Imperial Navy always be victorious!" Admiral Leko gave Duke Rubinsark a military salute with a solemn expression, and turned and walked out of the office

Seeing Admiral Leko's back leaving with a gloomy expression, Rubin Sark took a deep breath with complicated eyes, put his hand on the text on the table, and flipped through it, I have to admit that this Admiral Leko's enthusiasm for the Imperial Navy is also a very capable person,

As a representative of the main battle hawks of the navy, Leco, who was only the admiral of the detachment at the beginning, and was not outstanding in appearance, was one of the few admirals in the empire who had the courage to lead the imperial navy against the Lanterst navy, the first naval power in Obarro.

It is precisely because of the excellent performance of that time. In the end, he was valued by the emperor Xià, who also liked to attack, and was promoted to the admiral of the imperial navy in one fell swoop, replacing the old Duke of Popala, and Leko also lived up to the expectations of the ambitious emperor Xià.

Under his full leadership, the Rigid Navy, which was originally only a general defensive one, was like a beast that suddenly regained its strength, and in just two years, the number of warships and sailors doubled, and it soon took an aggressive and aggressive posture towards the Gallic Empire in the north. Several wars against southwestern Gaul. The navy was all in the vanguard of the army, and the Gallic navy was beaten and lost its armor and retreated, and it was also Leko who confidently put forward an amazing strategy of advancing by sea and land, "using the army attack as bait." Take the naval carrier operation as the jumping point. In the end, a two-sided attack on the southwest!" Duke Rubinsark still remembers in his mind at the military meeting. The imposing Admiral of the Navy had a clear voice, and that battle was also the most promising occupation of the southwest in a hundred years. If it weren't for the strong intervention of the Northwest Navy, the Imperial Navy's dominant situation in the southwest would have been reversed by World War I, and this battle in the southwest could have been called a brilliant victory!

Three days later, Wen Jiàn, who came from Gangfei Kyoto, was delivered to Remchat, who was holding a military meeting, and held this Wen Jiàn, which was personally approved by the Minister of Military Affairs Rubin Sack in red letters, Remchatt's eyes were suddenly bloodshot, as if he had been smothered in the head, and his body shook slightly.

The three words of the red Falcon Army on the report! Let Remsciat punch the wall angrily, blood flowing down the cracked wound, the cunning Putao people, the despicable Falcon Empire, this qiē is a trap, and the other party is in Lisbon Tob is an unsolvable dead end!" "My lord, what's wrong?' The general below looked at each other, no one knew that Remchatt, who had always been gentle, would suddenly become so irritable, and that feeling was like being just set on fire by someone," My lord, the Putao people shot down a letter from the city wall!" A Gangfei general walked in from the outside with a cluster of arrows tied to a letter, he glanced at the blue face of Remchat, and carefully handed over the arrow cluster in his hand, "The letter of the Putao people?" Remxat hesitated for a moment, took the arrow cluster, and after carefully examining it, there was no problem before he removed the letter on it, and read the whole letter with a solemn and unexpected gaze, and took a deep breath, "What's the matter, my lord! Is this the other party's letter of war?" The general who delivered the letter asked, "No, it's the Putao rebels in Lisbento who want to negotiate with us!" Remshat raised his head and said word by word with a solemn face, "Negotiations? Do they really think that if they win once or twice, they can be arrogant enough to negotiate with us, what qualifications do they have to negotiate with us, Lisbento has not been captured, but it is also under siege, although it is still impossible to conquer, but as long as it is time for the Empire's army to arrive, even ten Lisbento is useless!" "Although it is said that it is so, but the reinforcements of the Empire do not know where it is anymore!"

The corners of Remchat's mouth twitched, as a senior affairs officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he knew very well that before the emperor's majesty returned, the empire's forces could no longer be withdrawn, and the pressure of the northern falcon empire also made the empire's troops left in the north crucified, obviously, the despicable falcon empire took a fancy to such a gap, so it was so unscrupulous to assist the Putao people! In this confrontation, Gang Fei was in a weak position, and behind the Putao people, standing in the powerful Falcon Empire, "Shoot back, sue the Putao people, I agree to negotiate!" Remsit gritted his teeth, the negotiation sent by the other party coincided with the time when His Majesty the Emperor was about to return to Kyoto, if he could quell this rebellion, or if it was not his fault, it was still a very dazzling achievement, in the face of such a temptation, Remchatt could not refuse the "...... of my lord"

General Gangfei's face became ugly, for the arrogant Gangfei soldiers, it was simply a humiliation to negotiate with a small principality like Putao, but at the insistence of the commander of the regiment, the Gangfei army agreed to the negotiation

The venue of the negotiations was set in the hall of San Cam in the city, and in order to finalize the negotiators, Remchatt finally sent the former governor of Lisbonto, Borde, with three young officers to accompany him.

The former governor of Lisbento wears a blue uniform that has just been out of the army. With a white sand glove on his right hand, after entering the city gate, he gently covered his nose intentionally or unintentionally, because there were ruins all around, thinking that the city was full of corpses that day, Bord's heart was panicking.

The smell was a strange musty smell, like a moldy apple, with a sweet smell of sake lees, which also made his nose uncomfortable. In a pillar of light shining through a gap in the ruins. You can see countless white ash marks undulating down,

Since the Lisbonto unrest, the hall of San Cam has been abandoned for quite some time, and the courtyard has just been cleaned up. However, traces of the original scattering can still be seen. The flowers and plants on both sides of the marble walkway were also cleaned. Some of the broken reliefs seem to be a silent indictment of the disaster, and the murals in the corridors are stained with gray dust. On the windowsills on both sides of the corridor, thick dust can drown a boom,

On the carpet that once covered the corpses, you may also see the bloodstains left by the tragedy of that day.

These precious cashmere carpets, which should be paved in the hall and highlight the identity and dignity of the guests, need one or several young maids, bent over, lying on the ground, carefully with delicate and white little hands, like a small yellow warbler pecking rice, little by little, strictly along the clockwise direction of the line cleaning, even a small hair knot is wrong, may lead to the entire carpet imperfect, this is a very laborious work, often need to mobilize a lot of people, busy a afternoon or a day to complete,

But now it's war, don't talk about careful cleaning, even if it's washing, it's just a casual broom, first rinse with water a few times, and then clean it casually, and then spread it on the ground with a big grin, the wool carpet of fine mustard is completely messed up, and tangled together like a clump of small particles, the strange smell emanates from here, for the Governor of Bould, who has become accustomed to the floral fragrance of Lisbento and the rich carpet, it is simply as terrible as hell, these tangled hairballs, like a crack in his heart

"The Lisbento of the past is no longer there, and the current Lisbento is only a little better than hell!"

Governor Boulder's expression was very complicated, here he had poured a lot of effort into it, under the guidance of several Putao soldiers, he walked into the negotiation room, a long table, and there were four people sitting opposite, one was the Duke of Putao with a cold face, the other was the King of Raphael with a sad look, and two people didn't know each other, but judging from the upright back posture and the outfit on their bodies, they should all be soldiers, Boulder's gaze drifted over the weapon on the waist of one of them with a little surprise,

It was a very strange style, a strange arc, which seemed to give this weapon a far more ferocious slashing ability than a long sword, Pol's was completely subconsciously thinking like this, he didn't know that this evil weapon was associated with the great exploits of the corpse mountain and blood river since the moment it was born, although this war knife was still inserted in the scabbard, but on the hilt, because it was often infected with blood, some faint red traces could be seen on the surface, which was the blood rust formed by the blood invading the gap in the handle

"Your Excellency the Governor of Polder, what do you think of this ruined Lisbonto in front of you?" Seeing the appearance of the Duke of Potau, the face of the Duke of Putau became more and more cold, "I remember that the Governor of Polder said at the beginning that this is the most beautiful place you have ever seen, and now, do you still think it is beautiful?"

The civil strife in Lisbonto, that is, the army ordered by the Governor to maintain order, turned a blind eye to the whole unrest, and in the end it was only a small unrest of one or two blocks, which turned into a brutal unrest that swept the whole of Lisbonto within a few days, and countless Putau people were killed in this unrest, because this eastern unrest was the source, and the unrest in other regions also broke out at the same time.

"I'm sorry, but this is war!" Bolt didn't expect the Duke of Putao on the other side to ask such a question, and couldn't help but respond with a weak heart, only he knew that that night, there was someone else in command,

"War is not a massacre of civilians!Look at this city that has turned from heaven to hell because of you" Duke Putau gritted his teeth, his fingers clenched, and his joints made a gurgling sound, "If it weren't for the negotiations now, I would definitely order you, the murderer who ruined Lisbento, to be hanged"

At this moment, the whole space fell silent, "Let's start the negotiation, these boring conversations will not help the negotiation!" Bol suddenly turned his gaze, obviously unwilling to continue to stir up this matter, the commander of that night was called Remchat, Bol wanted to say this, but finally held back,

The Duke of Putao, who was sitting in the seat, snorted dissatisfiedly, compared to the aggressive Duke of Putao, the other Raphael County King was much quieter, his eyes were still wandering in fear, especially when he saw that Bolder's face just now suddenly turned blue, His Royal Highness, who was as timid as a mouse, was about to shout "I was forced to negotiate!"

"Let's talk about the conditions!" Bol had to sit down in the first place, and at the same time looked at the Duke of Putao in the first position opposite, and several officers behind him sat down next to him, he was also very indignant at the rudeness of the Duke of Putao, but what can be done about it, the previous two siege fiascos have made him lose the confidence to speak hard at this negotiation table, (to be continued......)
