Chapter 1041 First Meeting of Secretary of the Army

Anson had no idea what the outcome of the secret meeting of the Bayonet Club had, but there were only two types: the prices offered by the adults of the Army Department were attractive enough that the generals could make up their minds and work together to complete this extremely loyal cause.

The other is that the two sides parted in disagreement, and the Army Department had no sincerity, which fully proved how incompetent and stupid it was. It helped itself from the side, and the Bayonet Club disbanded amidst the waves of curses - of course the probability of this possibility is quite low.

No matter who Anson was concerned, he had basically entrusted the matter to Major General Ludwig, and he himself had to focus his main energy on Maurice Perrigore.

Since the first "Fate Encounter", I have never met this guy again, and I can't find any clues about his whereabouts; but he is not surprised. After all, there is a novelist, Zhuyu, and it seems that it is common for people from the Truth Society to come and go without a trace, even those from the former Truth Society.

He took the initiative to hand over the difference to the judge, and this matter must not escape his eyes. Anson now wants to know what the leader of the monastery really thinks and what his next plan is.

One day, two days, three days... Anson didn't wait for any action of Little Perigor, or he had already taken action, but he didn't notice it at all. This time his opponent seemed to be more patient than him, like a swimming snake lingering under the green algae in the pool, and was not in a hurry to move.

But the goal of this snake is to destroy Cloway's political balance and put Cloway City into an unprecedented state of chaos; then as long as any party in himself and the Army Department takes action, he will immediately emerge from the water and double the severity of the chaos.

"It's true." Ludwig stared at Anson with a serious face and said, "My eyes on the bayonet club told me that the plans given by the people in the Army Department this time were very crazy, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as crazy."

"Simply put, they plan to let eight legions attack Clovi City from four directions at the same time, but they are not in a hurry to put the military flag outside the gate of the Privy Council, but to capture a street and a community, and then implement strict cleanup policies in the area."

"Any industry related to the reformist privy council, any society and organization that stood opposite the Army's headquarters in the previous trial, the industry and buildings would be burned, and people would be held collectively and then executed by firing. All property would be included in a fund specially designated by the Baekblade Club."

"In short, their plan was to eat up the entire city of Clovie little by little, and in the process it continued to put pressure on the royal family and the Privy Council, and to recommend conservatives to come to power to cooperate with them - because the Ministry of War knew very well that they did not know how to run the state machine and completely lost those members of the wealthy and noble family, Clovie would be paralyzed."

"My eyes didn't tell me the more specific content, or he probably didn't know it. I guess those generals shouldn't know it either; but if I were asked to implement this plan, it would take about one or two days, right?"

In one to two days, eight legions completely occupied the entire city of Clovie, and it was indeed not much different... Anson nodded slightly: "Then do you think their plan is feasible?"

"They can really do it."

Ludwig nodded very seriously: "Indeed, tens of thousands of Whitehall Street policemen in Cloway City are well-equipped; indeed, many nobles and wealthy families have also raised many elite private soldiers; indeed, it is not difficult to gather 10,000 people in the city. But what they face is the Cloway Standing Army, eight!"

"You should have seen it when suppressing the rebellion in the outer city. It is not a despicable recruitment corps. The quality and equipment level of the soldiers is at least the level of the jihad army at the time, and it is even better to obey orders. How can such eight legions fight against the army of nearly 300,000?"

"Although Clovie City has a wall, it is only the inner city area, but the outer city area does not have it; and there are only about 300,000 people in the entire inner city area. How can we resist when facing 300,000 soldiers?"

"If all eight legions joined them, it would be true." Anson raised an objection: "But they wouldn't all accept the proposal from the Army Department, right? They are not members of the Bayonet Club, and there are two other people who are said to be not from the Continental Army doctrine. Wouldn't it be better to wait and see first?"

"Besides, once we attack Clovie City, it will be a veritable rebellion; well... even if we are loyal, we will risk being liquidated later. After our more secure proposal, we will join this unpredictable plan without hesitation?"

"What you said makes sense, but in fact I think so too."

Ludwig sighed and clenched his fists with some nervousness, "But whether we can win over eight of them can almost be regarded as the key to whether we can succeed this time; let alone no matter how safe it is, our private collusion is actually equivalent to rebellion... It is fake to say that we are not nervous."

Seeing the expression of his former boss, Ansen could only nod his head and nodded. At the same time, he had no idea what was needed to be nervous?

"Anyway, this matter is still a matter of definite determination; the result of their specific discussion may not be in my hands in a few days. Now we can only act according to the opportunity."

As if he was trying hard to calm down, Ludwig suddenly raised his voice: "You continue to step up contact with officers from the fox department, so that they can find ways to connect with the officers in the eight legions. If something really happens, maybe there will be a chance to instigate the rebellion."

"If I do... although I can't get into the members of the Bayonet Club, I might get important information from other circles. Anyway, I will give it a try if I have the chance."

"Okay, in fact, I'm already doing it here." Ansen said in a deep voice: "The Hunting Club, the largest group of officers in the Skies Division, has accepted the first sponsorship of 20,000 gold coins from New World Company. Now it has a relationship with us that will be prosperous and lose.

"That's good." Ludwig, who had just finished speaking, said as if he suddenly remembered something: "Then, remember to keep things secret today and never tell anyone."

"Don't worry, you won't be heard by outsiders."

"Are you sure?"

"Confirm, what's wrong?"

"That..." Ludwig, who was sitting in the corner of the living room, suddenly turned his head and looked at the sparse figures present:

"How could they be here?"

Anson looked up at the direction he looked: Christian Bach, Sophia Franz, Viscount Bogner, Carl Bain and Erich were sitting on the sofa, holding dark beer or coffee, watching the two people whispering like a drama.

"Don't hold Anson there and leave it alone, I asked everyone to come."

Sophia, sitting in the middle of the sofa, calmly picked up the coffee and smiled with a hostess style: "What I need to defeat the Army Department is not the strength of one or two of you, me, but the joint efforts of everyone. We are not fighting alone, we are a team and an alliance!"

"That's right!"

The excited Viscount Bogner was the first to respond, with an expression like an actor who was about to appear on stage, eager to try it out.

"The vicious idea of ​​the Army Department has been revealed. Anyone who opposes them is about to face the risk of heaven and earth breaking, and the entire city of Cloway will become a sea of ​​fire at any time. At this time, it is unwise and ignorant to do everything in person; uniting all those who can unite is the real wise choice."

"In this regard, the reformists can provide the greatest help. We will mobilize all the streets and communities in the inner city to actively organize and fight against them once the Army Department reveals its ambitions!"

"In addition, we are also promoting a motion within the Privy Council to reorganize the Army Department in a targeted manner and transfer some rights to it - of course, that must not be what it is now."

"Once the reorganization is successful, the new Army will have greater and more free decision-making power in the military, and there will be no need for the Privy Council to intervene in the matters such as officer promotion; in addition to the cabinet seats of the Secretary of the Army himself, a special 'General Committee' will be established to provide about five seats to the new Army."

Viscount Bogner, who was talking, inadvertently walked to the middle of the living room: "We are trying to cooperate with the conservatives to jointly advance this agenda; if everything goes well, it should be successful by the end of this year - I personally think that we can tell the generals this good news in advance."

"I think it's the most important thing to think about how to deal with the Army Department now." Carl Bain coughed twice. When he faced "big figures" like Bogner, he was always a little angry:

"This morning, the Storm Corps just received the latest notice from the Department of the Army that it would terminate any supply to our camp in three days and ask us to transfer our garrison to a farm fifteen kilometers outside the city of Cloway."

"I specifically asked the locals that it was not a farm there, but it was converted into a brick factory, with only a small bread workshop and two slaughter shops; a factory that feeds two or three hundred people is okay, but it is difficult to supply a legion of eight thousand people."

"Oh, did he tell you that the brick factory is actually an industry under the name of the Army?" Teacher Erich, who was standing next to him, suddenly said with a smile:

"This is the usual method used by the Army Department to deal with certain thorny troops. If you are disobedient, you will suddenly transfer you from your original resident and arrange it to a ghost place where you can't eat or live in any way."

"If you don't obey, you're disobeying, or you might as well cut off supplies to see how long you can last; and if you're obedient, then something will happen sooner or later - smuggling, robbery, stealing... There's something that the army that can't afford to eat can be charged with you."

"Especially, they are targeting not the army, but an officer... Let the soldiers know that they have suffered so many crimes, but because their commanders are excluded by the Army Department and are targeted. What do you think the soldiers will feel?"

"Uh... I don't need to guess this, I know too much."

Carl waved his hand, and he had a deep understanding of this, who had been taking the blame for many years: "The next step should be a mutiny, right?"

"It's totally correct." Teacher Erich said with a wry smile: "In the past, many of their mainland military doctrines used this method to mess with officers from the scattered military department, leaving stains on their resume materials, and then became evidence that the scattered military doctrine was not mature or insufficient to implement, and it was nonsense!"

"In other words, our real enemy is not the Army Department, but some adults who believe in the theory of the Continental Army and occupy the upper class of the Army Department." Christian, who was standing next to him, slowly put down his wine glass and smiled at everyone present:

"To put it further, it is the Bayonet Club, am I right?"

"If this is the case, I suggest not targeting broad targets like the Army Department, but targeting only one of the Baton Club, or even just the core members of it." His eyes swept over Karl and Erich, and then towards Ludwig's direction:

"Because although we all know that the current Army Department is corrupt and must be defeated as soon as possible, it is still a symbol of the entire Army to some extent; when we attack the Army Department, it will inevitably make some soldiers and officers feel sad and empathetic."

"But if the target is the bayonet club... they will first be confused and then angry because they do not understand the group, and if they know it through some mass media - such as newspapers - they can only be clear about a general picture."

"This is a very good state. An elite community will be simply labeled as 'rich', 'corrupt', 'authoritarian' by the people and the middle and lower-level soldiers, and will naturally feel angry and jealous of the people in it - without our thinking, they will find the most suitable slogan themselves."

"This organization is too incompetent, we have to fight it... This kind of thing sounds really powerless, but if it were 'This organization is despicable, vicious, greedy, corrupt, and powerful, we must tie all the people in it to the cross', wouldn't it be very powerful?"

With rhetorical words, the living room was silent.

After a long time, Sophia, who took a sip of coffee, looked around everyone and said in the calmest tone: "Very good, your suggestions are very valuable. I think... we have reached a consensus."

Her voice was calm and her posture was majestic, as if she had been an Army Minister.
