1664 Empire vs. Empire (III)
"What we need most now is time, and delaying the war as much as possible is my main goal at the moment!" the fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, retracting his somewhat tired gaze from the window, and occasionally flickering hesitation turned into a ruthlessness belonging to the hero
"Fortunately, I made some arrangements in advance" Coming to the map just now, the fat man pointed to the map with his hand, it was full of various markers, dense, almost covering the northern part of the Rasti region, when Duo Xuan came in just now, he saw the Falcon Majesty Xià was looking at this map, "You must not have imagined that this is the defense map of the Gauls in the northern part of the Lasti region!" Duo Ze's face was stunned for a moment, and a trace of horror flashed on his face, although he knew that the intelligence of the Falcon Army was pervasive, but the Gallic army currently assembled in the Rasti area reached 300,000 troops, and more than 50 armies were indicated.
Duoxuan, who once commanded a large army, knew very well what such a detailed defense map meant before the war,
The weakness of the Gauls is simply completely exposed in front of the eyes of the imperial military god of Vekia Falcon, according to the tactical style of Vekia Falcon has always not shot, but to shoot like a thunderbolt.
"Gaul's troop deployment and movement have always been under our sight, especially the left flank of their heavy troops, the number of each flag regiment, the equipment situation, and the deployment area, which will be secretly sent to me the day after they arrive!" The fat man looked at Duo Ze dumbfounded, and said slowly, "Sometimes, I also feel that God is favoring me! The underground forces that have just recovered the Rasti region are actually crooked, and to put it mildly, this defense map is at least worth the 50,000 troops of my Falcon Army!"
"Your Majesty means that this defense map is the ...... of those underground forces" Duo Ze's face was blank, as if he had thought of something, and quickly reacted. With a touch of joy on his face, he congratulated, "This is really God bless Your Majesty, God bless my empire, these underground forces are all intertwined forces in the homeland, and the forces have infiltrated into various industries, and the movement of the Gallic army cannot hide their eyes at all, but the subordinates have some doubts, how can Your Majesty be so sure, the information provided by these underground forces is accurate? If there is a little deviation, this will ......"
"Huh. Choose more, you are really more suspicious than me!" The fat man smiled heartily and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I have sent someone to verify all the information, and there is a slight deviation from the information obtained by the local forces, but it is basically not much different, after all, there are not many real core content of the army that the local forces can relate." Therefore, it is not possible to rely on them completely, but the movement of the army can hardly escape their eyes, at least every move of the Gallic army is under the sight of our army!" "This morning. I ordered the steppe cavalry to knock out one of the most prominent infantry regiments on the left flank, hoping to deter the opposing side, but the opposing commander was a very experienced man, although he suffered the loss of an infantry regiment. Immediately ordered the three infantry regiments on the left flank to move to a five-mile position on our defensive line,
It seems that the enemy wanted to use these three infantry regiments as bait to lure our troops to take the initiative to attack. As long as the defense line is detached, the other side can concentrate superior forces and crush the left flank of our army in one fell swoop" The fat man's voice stopped, a trace of fierceness flashed on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "I have already given an order to Hu Keqi not to move without permission, but the battle on the left flank, I am afraid that it will not drag on for a few days, and the other side will soon find that the lure is ineffective, so it will be transformed from a full-scale attack step by step! I am a little worried that Hu Keqi will not be able to suppress it, so I want to invite you to the left flank!" "Your Majesty's order, of course your subordinates obey it, but ...... Duo Xuan heard that the Vicchia Falcon sent him to the left wing, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "The ability of his subordinates is very clear, and it is okay to engage in government affairs, but when it comes to leading the army to kill the enemy, it is a lack of heart and strength." Your Majesty is not good at fighting, but I am afraid that if I go, I will pull the hind legs of Lord Hukochili!" "War, not necessarily a matter of two armies fighting!" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had misunderstood what he meant, and explained. The left wing is the top priority of this battle, the slightest carelessness may lead to the loss of all the plates, the big war together, the left wing must be the most brutal strangulation field of this battle, wounded soldiers, reinforcements, weapons repair, troop transfers, I need a trustworthy person, responsible for the left wing of the military dispatch, and the two sides of the army staggered fighting, Hu Keqili personally came to the front line to command, even if the time comes, for the rear internal affairs scheduling is also powerless! Moreover, there is a very important task that you need to do!" I see, I don't know what task His Majesty is assigning him?" Duoxuan heard that he didn't let himself go to the front line, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked curiously, "Judging from the time, it should be about the same!" The fat man's eyes flickered, his black pupils were as deep as stars, he took a deep breath, and his fingers focused on the map in front of him. The Gauls have deployed heavy troops on the left flank, but the logistics are very weak, especially in terms of military rations, although some food supplies have been mobilized from the rear provinces, but outside the army, there are still a million displaced people who have not been properly settled, and I have ordered the local forces to stir up trouble among the displaced people, so as to delay the outbreak of a decisive battle between the two armies,
These local forces have a request, once the Empire occupies the Rusty region, they need a high-profile Imperial Servant to sit in Rusty so that they can rest assured, and they want you to be the governor of Lastie!"
"I'm not!"
Duo Xue is already completely stupid, he has only arrived in the Rasti region for only ten days, not to mention that he has been in the public expectations, and he doesn't even know many people, he was transferred by the fat man to do logistics! God is pitiful, are these local forces crazy? If he wants to be the governor of the Rasti region, if this is committed in the hands of a small-minded monarch, there is no doubt that there is a suspicion of internal and external collusion.
"Being expected, this point, it's really good to use it on your Duoxue!" The fat man looked up and down at Duoxue, and Duoxue's face became more and more pale, "Don't be nervous!" The fat man smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, "My subordinates are really ashamed to be such a comment!" Duoxue's face was full of shame when he listened, and his old face turned crimson, "That's it, this is what you deserve from Duoxue!" The fat man walked over, patted Duoxue's old and strong shoulder with his hand, and said with a sigh As you may have noticed, the Empire's landing on Obaro was a brutal invasion.
The Obaro continent is no better than the Empire's native Icadivar, and my Falcon Empire belongs to the Outer Continent after all.
In order to deter, I must be ruthless to adopt a strong policy completely different from the policy of Ikadiva's Huairou, in just two years, my Falcon Empire from the invasion of Normandy, to occupy the entire northwest coast, a large army of siege and slaughter, shocking the northwest. In the end, it laid a thousand miles of land on the northwest coast, laying the foundation for the empire to take root, but it also left all Gauls with the brutal impression of the Northwest Falcon Army's bloodthirsty and murderous.
The only exception is your choice, and on the northwest coast you have served as governor to pacify all peoples, regardless of their nationality, whether they have been previously freemen or have worked hard. You have achieved equal treatment, and all ethnic groups can live and work in peace and contentment on the northwest coast and work together to develop the northwest
In just two years, the northwest coast has changed from a barren land to a bustling sea city. You can be the first to choose more,
In Bangor, you still have more choices, in order to save 200,000 Bangors. You found me in person, and you didn't hesitate to make a mistake and insisted on boiling the fish in person. With the refugees drinking the bitter fish soup for more than ten days, saving hundreds of thousands of Bangor lives, you choose more people in Gaul, who also have the name of benevolence.
This is also why I sent you to lead the army to take over the southwest and south where Murphy Oone is entrenched, the southern cities were still hesitant, afraid that they would be retaliated against by the Falcon army for defecting to Murphy Oone Boone, if it was the general of the military to go, it would be a bloody storm, but knowing that it was you who chose to surrender, the southwestern cities opened their doors one after another, and you chose almost no blood, so you achieved the important goal of stabilizing the overall situation in the southwest and stabilizing the hearts of the people in the southwest in the shortest possible time, and our army did not dare to launch an attack on the Rusti area without worries“
The fat man's voice stopped, and he said in a rather emotional tone, "I deceived you in the name of helping you complete the "Theory of Democracy", in just a few years, you have done much better than what is said in the "Theory of Democracy", this is the honor of the empire, it is also my honor, and it is the luck of the northwest, otherwise, this land, I don't know how many souls will be added!" "Your Majesty is too polite, if it weren't for Your Majesty's heavy words to wake up, or, I'm still the one who is bent on making a car behind closed doors." Duo Zhi hurriedly lowered his head, and said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "In just 2 years, it is His Majesty that has made me see a lot of things that I was confused in the past, as His Majesty said, if the "Theory of Democracy" cannot be applied in practice, it is an empty thing, and it is actually my honor to be able to get the help of His Majesty in my lifetime, and put part of the theory of democracy into practice!"
"Okay, don't talk about compliments to each other, the war is important, and the send-off banquet and the like won't be opened!"
The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, picked up two glasses of red wine from the table, handed one to Duoxue, raised the other, and said, "I am here, with this wine, I wish you, the governor of the Rusti region, the governor of the Rusti region in advance! This is not the governor of the northwest coast who is only in charge of government affairs, you will be the third governor of the empire in this land after Lidarchus and Salon!"
"Thank you!"
Duo Ze's body trembled slightly, and his eyes looked a little confused, although he used to be the Speaker General of Dorok on the powerful side, but in the face of the plenipotentiary governor of the military and political integration, and the position of one of the few important ministers in the empire, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart.
Although the Rasti region is not very large, but the unique geographical location, the hinterland of Gaul and the western hub, the vast grain-producing areas, are destined to the prospects here is promising, in the northwest coast for several years, many choices in the ears and eyes, follow the fat man to engage in commerce, engage in road construction, engage in maritime trade, can be described as an eye-opener, the original money can also be made in this way, the region can also promote development in this way, many choices have also learned a lot of ways to rely on business to develop the region, as long as you think about it, a piece of land in their own efforts to manage, the people are equal, free, live and work in peace and contentment, the city from barren to rich, that sense of accomplishment is enough to make Duo Choice comfort for life.
From the window, he watched Duo Xuan walk up to the carriage downstairs, and the fat man turned around, and the sunlight outside the window shone in through the screen window, forming dots of spots,
The appointment of multiple choices as the governor of the Lust region is not a whim, the importance of the Rusti region is self-evident, whether it is in and out of the Gallic hinterland, the Lusti region is the most important valve, because of strategic needs, the falconry burned a large area of wheat in the Rusti region, leading to a large reduction in grain production in the Rusti region this year, and the people are boiling. If such a region can be pacified and made a solid foundation for the empire to advance, it is only possible to choose such a person.
"Your Majesty, the 20,000 troops of the Principality of Denia and the 30,000 troops of the Principality of Dunkir have entered the southwest!"
The captain of the guard on duty pushed open the door and handed a report he had just received to the fat man, the battle of Rustie, the troops in the northwest region were almost empty, and the fat man asked the Duchy of Denia and the Duchy of Dunkiel to send troops to the war according to the covenant, on the one hand, to weaken the possible threat of the two countries to the stability of the northwest, and on the other hand. It is also to take a look at the attitude of the two countries, between the Falcon Empire and the Gallic Empire, what kind of position do the two countries stand on, the two largest forces in the northwest region, although they have rubbed for a while, but finally sent troops according to the agreement, which makes the fat man's heart that has been speculating finally be able to fall, and the two countries have a superficial position, and there is no hidden danger in the northwest.
"Ten days, if God gives me another ten days!
The fat man put down the report in his hand, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and looked out the window. One qiē is still smooth, the reinforcements from all sides have been dispatched as scheduled, and the only thing missing now is time, ten days. It will be a turning point that will decide the fate of the empire, white floating clouds float outside the window, and the corner of the fat man's mouth smiles bitterly. It seems that the pressure has been quite great recently, but soon, the pressure on the other side will be even greater than that of himself, and hundreds of thousands of hungry homeless people, even if they can't change the situation of the battle, are enough to keep the other side busy for a while.
The left flank of the Gallic army, the city of Sewen
The sky seems a little melancholy, the weather at the end of July has a little sense of heat, the tension from the front line, so that most people don't know whether it is because of the war that makes people feel hot and uneasy, or because the weather is really hot, the river flows quietly in the middle of the city, Sewen City is a medium-sized city in the northern region of Rasti, when the largest number of residents in history, there are only less than 100,000 permanent residents, because of the remote location, so the war is not affected much, this year's grain harvest here is not bad, many people are celebrating this year's harvest, but they soon found that the food they harvested was all collected by the army, and it was collected for free, leaving only the most basic rations for about a month,
In the lonely city and city streets, a large number of troops began to gather, most of them wearing the uniforms of the local army, patrolling the city together, making the residents of this remote small city nervous.
"Did you hear that? The Northwest rebels have hit Lacey City!"
"No, isn't it the rebels in the northwest? the northwest is thousands of miles away from here! And there is a southwest in between!" the inhabitants of the city inquired about the news they had heard from the garrison, and they didn't take it seriously, but as more and more troops gathered in the city,
Since yesterday, the residents have noticed that regular troops have been stationed in Sewen City one after another. With the arrival of the army, there are many uniformed officers, all of whom are shining with the stars of the empire, and the vigilance in the city has reached an unprecedented level, with three steps and one post on the city wall, and one sentry in five steps, and the patrols in the city have also been encrypted several times. All the inhabitants of the city were allowed to enter and not leave, and even if someone died in the house, they had to be temporarily placed in the city. There were regular troops standing guard at the four city gates, and not even a single sparrow could fly out.
In a four-story building in the city, the head of the left wing, Gedale, pushed open the door of the conference room, his gloomy face did not look good, in order to arrange this left wing battle, he almost put his heart and soul into it, and he was ready as soon as he was ready, but unfortunately, just three hours before the order to attack was given, a report from the district was delivered to him,
The cause of the riots was because the military blocked the grain stores, and the citizens were no longer able to buy grain at the right price, and the reason why it was said to be suitable was because if they were willing to spend money, they could still buy grain, but the price was often about five times the normal price, and the people who sold it were not regular shops, but some people who had a good relationship with the army, but it must be supported by the army, and in the name of procuring military rations
"Obviously, this riot must be suppressed immediately! Otherwise, when it reaches the ears of the emperor, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around, and His Majesty the emperor is mobilizing all the wealthy clans in Kyoto to collect food for the front-line army!"
Greda, who had just returned from the headquarters, looked very unhappy, and the head of the company, Hasenlimpo, scolded him severely.
More than 100,000 troops are stationed on the left flank, and there can still be a rebellion of this magnitude, are all wine bags and rice bags on your left flank? You are definitely the first person in the military circles of my Gallic Empire to be able to make the citizens rebel and interrupt the offensive plan! Very sharp comment, "Stand up!" The commanders of more than thirty local infantry regiments in the conference room stood up neatly and interrupted Greda's thoughts,
His gaze flashed with a hint of coldness and swept over the faces of the local infantry commanders, if his gaze could kill, there would be a few infantry commanders stabbed to death by his gaze now, what are they doing! Even if it is selling military rations for profit, you must learn to cover it up a little! (To be continued......
