Lorraine closed her eyes, tapped her fingers on the table, thought seriously for a while, and then said: "Lord Nosdarco, you have done a good job, but if something like this happens in the future, you still have to inform me as soon as possible.
"
The Lord of North Dakota City heard the warning in his words, lowered his head and said: "Yes, Lord Governor."
Lorraine continued: "General Larry, no matter whether those people want to defect to us or not, our defense cannot be relaxed. We will also transfer the remaining two brigades to the border, and at the same time withdraw 3,000 people from the cities in the north and central
The city defense troops went south to reinforce."
General Larry stood up, performed a military salute, and said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Governor. This is why I came to you. Sir, please allow me to go to Colony City to command the southern army."
Lorraine looked at his excited face and couldn't help but smile. She knew that the general was worried that his position was unstable and would be replaced by others, and he was eager to make meritorious deeds.
But then I thought about it, he was also battle-hardened for a long time, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to have such an experienced general at his command.
Therefore, he nodded and said: "I agree. The general can act freely in the front. Once he feels that the situation is not good, he will launch an attack on them. The customers are bullying the shop. Those orcs are all cats, and they are all
We, the Nai'an people, will never feel at ease with such a ferocious big dog squatting at the entrance of our yard, even if they come to seek refuge with us."
General Larry laughed and said: "Yes, I understand what you mean. I will immediately start formulating a battle plan to be ready."
Lorraine said 'hmm', then stood up and ordered loudly: "General Larry, your mission is to ensure that there is no trouble at the border. This is the premise.
If we want to launch an attack and we don't have enough troops, we can postpone the plan for a month, and I can also borrow two legions from the Eastern Province. If we want to destroy them, we must use a thunderous force to annihilate them all in one fell swoop."
General Larry clicked his heels, performed a military salute, and said loudly: "Yes, sir, I will set off now."
Lorraine also raised his hand, returned a military salute seriously, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General."
General Larry blinked and said stylishly: "Serve the Empire."
Lorraine turned his head and said: "Lord of North Dakota City, I will hold a plenary meeting to discuss this matter in a moment. If you don't need to rush back, please stay and participate in the meeting."
"Yes, sir. With General Larry in charge, I don't have to rush back."
Lorraine faced the office door and raised her voice: "Susan."
The fat aunt from the secretarial class soon appeared at the door.
Lorraine said: "Inform Mr. Angus and convene a meeting with officials from various departments. General Larry, you can set off when you are ready. There is no need to come to say goodbye to me again. Mr. Nosdak, you can also go down and rest for a while."
After the two of them went out, Lorraine patted Adele on the shoulder and said: "Adele, please call Nicole, and also call Leo and Vera back. Then we will tell the big story, maybe we can
I have to play a big game and confiscate my house."
Adele also knew that the matter was urgent, so she stood up, flicked her skirt neatly, and said, "Okay, I understand."
Seeing Lorraine's unkind expression, she couldn't help but smile. She gently leaned against Lorraine, touched his cheek with her right hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, we have survived even more troublesome things than this."
Lorraine held down Adele's hand, raised her head and smiled at Adele, and said: "Well, I know, in the worst case, we will destroy them. We have selected hundreds of thousands of Almohad troops, and we still care about these little ones.
Role."
"Hehe, this is our Lorraine."
After saying that, he turned around, brought a gust of fragrant wind, and walked out quickly.
Angus's political assistant was handling official duties. When he heard from Lorraine that there was a tribe of orcs with ten thousand people on the border, he was so shocked that his hand shook and he spent more than half of the paper. He immediately threw away the pen in his hand.
The office building was full of people grabbing people to announce the meeting.
The door to the conference room kept being opened, and the numbered officials from Nadel City hurried into the conference room one by one. These people are still confused. Angus only informed them of an emergency meeting without explaining the reason.
.
Angus sat in his seat, frowning with a stern face. As the chief steward of Naian Province, Angus has always been very steady, and he can't express his emotions.
Seeing that Angus is also worried now, all the officials are like carrying little rabbits in their arms, their little hearts are beating. Is it possible that Lord Lorraine is addicted to confiscating houses and wants to chop off a few more heads this time?
One person finally couldn't hold it any longer and asked anxiously: "Butler Angus, what happened? Why are you so anxious to summon everyone?"
Angus was awakened from his daze. He looked up and saw that most of the people were already sitting in the conference seat. He touched his bare forehead, sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "Colleagues, a man has appeared on the border.
The orc tribe with more than 10,000 people is in an emergency situation~!"
There was a sound of inhalation on the conference table.
Everyone started shouting anxiously, saying: "Ah! Has the autumn hunting of those half-beasts begun? Mobilize quickly and issue a mobilization order~!"
"That's right, the troops on the southern front are not enough. There will continue to be orc tribes going north below, and then the southern front will be in danger."
"Hey, where is General Larry? Why hasn't General Larry arrived yet?"
"According to the scale of previous years, plus this sudden appearance of the tribe, ten thousand troops will not be enough."
"Ask Duke Julius for help."
"..."
Angus heard their shouting getting louder and louder, stood up, waved his hands, and said in a heavy voice: "Comrades, be careful.
Things are not that simple, everyone will know later."
At this moment, the door on the other side of the conference room opened, and Lorraine, Catherine, and Adele walked out first, with the Lord of North Dakota following Lorraine and the others.
Angus and the officials below stood up to greet Lorraine.
Lorraine, Catherine, and Adele pulled out their chairs and sat in their seats. Then they waved their hands and said, "Sit down, Mr. Nostalco. You can sit with General Larry."
After a loud noise of stools, all the officials below sat down and looked at Lorraine eagerly.
Lorraine smiled and said: "Lord Nosdarko, please introduce the situation to everyone."
"Yes, sir." The Lord of North Dakota stood up. Then he briefly introduced the situation to everyone.
After he finished introducing the current situation and sat down again, the officials below all looked at each other and began to think deeply. The conference room seemed very dull for a while.
"Hell, I wish I had a cigarette." Lorraine sighed inwardly, glanced at the people in front of the conference table, and added: "General Larry has invited himself to go south to guard the border. This is the situation.
I want to hear your opinions. Should we fight or make peace?"
Still no one spoke, and the scene was a little cold for a while. Angus looked around at everyone, and finally looked at Lord Nosdak, and said: "Lord Nosdak, I don't understand why the tribe called Aquitan.
Say you want to take refuge with us?"
Nosdak smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Angus, to tell you the truth, I don't know either. I once asked those orc envoys, but they were just pretending to be stupid.
Later, I tried to induce them by making subtle insinuations. These guys were very shrewd and didn't say a word. I also sent people to bribe their envoys. These bastards just took the money and pretended to be stupid."
Angus thought for a moment and said, "In other words, we don't know their motives for doing this?"
Nosdak smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, sir, this subordinate has neglected his duty."
After hearing this, all the officials couldn't help exchanging glances with each other. They all cursed in their hearts: This damn idiot~!
Lorraine waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault. We have never had effective intelligence methods to figure out the situation in the orc territory. This is why I called everyone to a meeting. We don't know the reason. At present, we can only
Discuss countermeasures.”
An official below looked around, and then said aloud: "Sir, no matter what they are here for, they are orcs, there are many of them, and they are on the border now, I think this is enough
, these orcs have posed a threat to our security, we should destroy them quickly."
Lorraine glanced at the man without saying a word, and then glanced at the other people's faces.
I saw everyone else nodding along.
Another official next to him also followed up and said: "Yes, sir, we can't tell whether they are here to pretend to surrender. The orcs are so ambitious that we Naian people have suffered enough in the past few hundred years.
If they are here to stand in front of the orcs who are planning to plunder us, if we don't take this opportunity to eliminate them, it will be a disaster when the large army of orcs arrives."
All the officials immediately started whispering.
Many of them also agreed with this opinion. They turned to look at Lorraine and speculated on Lorraine's attitude.
Generally speaking, after the following people express their opinions, the superior will unconsciously show some attitude, such as nodding and shaking his head, smiling with a dark face, etc. The following people can modify their opinions based on these and maintain the same position as the superiors.
.
However, they were disappointed to find that Lorraine still looked like she was thinking, with no apparent expression on her face, and her fingers were placed together on the table.
Neither Catherine nor Adele spoke. Catherine frowned and was thinking, while Adele tapped her fingers on the table little by little.
After a moment of silence, someone finally raised a different opinion. One person coughed and said, "I think we should get in touch with them. If they really come to seek refuge with us, wouldn't we be able to take advantage of them? With these semi-
Isn’t it in our interests for the orcs to intercept the orcs heading north to plunder outside the border?”
Another interface said: "I think it's good to get in touch. If you can use it, use it. If you can't use it, destroy them. It won't take more than a few days. Of course, if they can work hard for us, let the orcs
Wouldn't it be wonderful to fight orcs?
What's more, if we want to assemble the army to destroy them, we also need preparation time. During these times, we can't do nothing, right?"
"Also, our troops may not be enough~!" The deputy director of military affairs scratched his hair in distress at this time and said: "According to what the Lord of North Dakota said, a conservative estimate is that the opponent has at least 4,000 soldiers.
Soldiers, if they work hard, it is possible to gather 6,000 people.
We have mobilized all our strength, and we can probably have 12,000 soldiers, but it will take at least a month to prepare. Within this month, if something changes, what should we do?
What's more, although our army can guarantee the defeat of the orcs in the field, their tactics..."
He paused for a moment, then looked at everyone and said: "I think everyone knows their tactics, if you can defeat them, fight, if you can't defeat them, run away.
Once these thousands of people disperse, it will be a great harm to the entire south and will be difficult to eliminate. In that case, we must maintain a strength of about 10,000 people on the southern front at all times, and we must also send troops to clear and sweep them.
This is also very difficult for us in Nai’an.”
Lorraine nodded and said: "Lord Serian is right. This is also the situation I am most worried about. We are not afraid of them in frontal combat, but if they rob and run away, we will not have many options available. Serian
Lord Ruian, tell me your method."
Serian said: "Sir, I think we should talk to them, but at the same time we must mobilize with all our strength to eliminate them as the primary goal.
Stabilize them through negotiations and buy time. At the same time, we don't want to set high conditions. If they agree to break up and integrate them, and fully use them for our use, wouldn't this be the most ideal?
If they don't agree, those orc soldiers can escape, but their tribe of more than 10,000 people cannot escape, and they will be wiped out in an instant."
Lorraine turned to look at Catherine and Adele. Both girls nodded slightly to Lorraine. In fact, Lorraine, Catherine, and Adele had already discussed how to deal with these orcs.
As the old saying goes, don't let others snore on the side of the bed. That unlucky boy Li Yu gave his wife to the boss of the Song Gang to play with, and he was a cuckold all the way, pretending to be a grandson. Even so, in the end, it was not the two boss brothers who took over the place.
The last cup of wine with some spices was sent to the crematorium. (It is said to have been verified by ancient brick masters. By the way, the brick masters at that time were quite powerful at calling beasts~! Admire it.)
Those who are not from our race must have different minds. Forget about the small tribes on the border. Those people are still valuable. For such a large tribe, with knives, guns and younger brothers, it is no longer a hidden danger, but a real danger.
threatened.
These orcs are the wilted melons of this world. Whenever you need them, they can climb down and lick your feet clean if you accidentally step on dog shit.
And when they don't need you anymore, they will definitely come and steal your money and women, and then chop you into pieces with a knife, or even worse, take you back as a slave.
Leo also said that only a dead orc can make a good orc.
(Roosevelt said: "This (referring to the slaughter of Indian tribes) is inevitable and ultimately beneficial. I don't want to go too far and say that only dead Indians are good, but I believe that there are 9 out of 10 good Indians."
He is dead, and I am not willing to investigate the case of the 10th death in detail.)
Vera had the simplest attitude. She rolled up her sleeves and immediately shouted: "Master, tell me who we should kill."
Lorraine and the others decided to prepare with both hands. Peace talks were also necessary, but the orcs must fully accept Lorraine's conditions.
As for these conditions, Lorraine, Leo, and Vera have already discussed them. Now Leo and Vera can be called experts in the ability to bankrupt people. Plus, Lorraine is a master, and the conditions offered
In the eyes of Catherine and Adele, those orcs would never agree.
In Catherine's words, this is no different from annihilating their clan.
Lorraine himself knew that there was almost no chance of a settlement, but peace talks were two different things. In Lorraine's history class in her previous life, the relationship between the Central Plains dynasty and the northern nomads was clearly written.
For Lorraine and the others, this battle is almost certain to be fought, but the Deputy Chief of Military Affairs Serian is right. If this battle is not prepared and cannot be fought well, it will leave a gap on the border of Nai'an.
The big hidden danger is that we won't be able to survive for at least three to two years.
How to ensure that they can annihilate all the orcs in one fell swoop during the large-scale invasion of the orcs that are coming is what Lorraine and the others really consider.
Lorraine asked these officials for their opinions, actually just to gain a consensus. It was also to see if there would be a better way among these people.
But now it seems that the performance of these people is basically satisfactory to Lorraine, and there is no such thing as trying to convince others with virtue.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Military merit is the most important thing in the Ruman Empire. The greater the military merit, the higher the reward. If you don’t fight and don’t kill people, where will the military merit come from?
Regardless of the fact that most of these people are civil servants, and they have fought and won the war, the credit of the civil servants is no less than that of the soldiers who worked hard on the front line. If you add a comment about strong dispatching and good coordination, the rewards will be huge.
Especially in border provinces like Nai'an where wars are constantly going on, the civilian officials are more belligerent than the military attaches. There is no need for them to go up and use knives to fight. They hide in the back, cross their feet, drink and eat meat and tease little Meimei. Of course they are desperately praising the war.
great.
If you win, you will get a promotion and get rich. If you lose, you don’t have to take responsibility. Is there anything cheaper than this in the world?
Just like this time, if this orc tribe is wiped out, a small stroke of pen will be written on the battle report: nearly 20,000 orcs were wiped out. (Ten thousand and one and nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine are both nearly two years.
Ten thousand)
That would be the most glorious victory for the Ruman Empire in recent years. It was possible for the emperor to send one or two hereditary hats. No wonder everyone at the table was clamoring for war.
Lorraine nodded, straightened her upper body, and said: "Very good, I think our positions have been unified.
Let's make two preparations. If those orcs are willing to talk, we'll talk to them, but at the same time, we can't relax in war preparations. Angus."
When all the officials knew that Lord Lorraine was issuing war orders, they all sat up straight.
