Chapter 104: The Intention of the Drunkard (seeking a monthly ticket)
As the situation in Almohad worsened, neither His Majesty the Pope, Maple Leaf Danlin, nor the Ruman Empire could sit still.
His Majesty the Pope has just ascended the throne, and even though he assumes a fair and strict attitude, as the spokesperson of the God of Light in the world and the most powerful person in the Pan-Continent, she can't watch others bully her cousin, right?
[..com]
Although Maple Leaf Danlin withdrew its troops, it remained naturally wary of the Almohad Empire.
Just like the American devils will never forget Pearl Harbor, they will never forget that they once planted two giant mushrooms in the country.
And they also have every reason to believe that no matter how respectful, how kind, and harmless they are like little rabbits, that's just a superficial appearance.
Those bastards will definitely remember this incident deeply in their hearts and will never forget it.
The people of Maple Leaf Danlin will never forget who caused the disaster in the Almohad Empire and who killed their emperor.
And they have every reason to believe that the two princes of the Almohad Empire will never forget this~!
Therefore, although Maple Leaf Danlin can tolerate those two bastards climbing onto the political stage, they can only be a sideshow and absolutely cannot tolerate them becoming the protagonists.
Although, in the future, when they come to power, they may not necessarily launch ruthless revenge on Maple Leaf Danlin, but...
The knowledgeable masters in Maple Leaf Danlin are all from literary backgrounds, and all of them have vicious hearts.
They have a full understanding and understanding of human nature. They would rather put their own safety in their own hands than rely on the kindness and tolerance of others.
Just in case those two guys suddenly became filial and wanted to avenge their father, they would send troops to raid Maple Leaf Danlin again.
The academy does not always have that kind of good luck. There are still people like Lord Luo who step forward to take command and repel the enemy.
After all, a guy like Lord Luo who is a genius military strategist, strategist, commander, and extremely lucky is really a rare occurrence in a hundred years.
At that time, under the fierce attack of the enemy, Maple Leaf Danlin, the brightest and most dazzling pearl of human civilization, the center of thought and culture, might really have fallen.
As for the Ruman Empire and the Almohad Empire, it is basically the same as Britain is to Europe, a complete and utter troublemaker.
A powerful Almohad is not at all in line with the interests of the Ruman Empire, not to mention that they still have the feuding General Hadou.
Therefore, with the vigorous promotion of the Holy See, Maple Leaf Danlin, and the Ruman Empire, the development of this matter is extremely likely to
In April, the United Nations General Assembly convened. National leaders from all over the continent or their ambassadors sat together and reached a unanimous resolution in just two days.
At the end of that month, the peacekeeping force was formed into an army.
In early May, the entire army landed on Almohad.
This efficiency alone is enough to amaze people across the continent.
You know, in an organization like the United Nations, which is a pure bullshit, everything done is extremely slow.
Even if they want to buy a lollipop, they will have to discuss it for three days and three nights. In the middle, they may have a fierce quarrel, or even roll up their sleeves and have a fight. It is not impossible.
As for a major event like a war, if we don't hold meetings for three to five months, the matter cannot be handled.
Just from this mobilization and action ability, we can see the profound strength of the Ruman Empire, the Vatican Holy See, and Maple Leaf Danlin.
And the tidbits and various stories centered on Queen Isabella and Archduke Julius developed at a dizzying speed.
Before anyone on the continent could react, more than fifty soldiers armed to the teeth had already set foot on the Almohad land in a menacing manner.
For such a highly efficient military operation, everyone can only be inexplicably amazed: They say that an old gangster falling in love is as hopeless as an old house on fire. It seems that this famous saying has its truth~!
Grand Duke Julius did it to pick up girls, and he didn't care about anything else.
And Emperor Rudelun was worthy of being Julian's real brother. He did not hesitate to support his brother at the critical moment and sent out such a gorgeous lineup.
General Hada can really die in peace.
However, Hadu felt that he was wronged.
He just wanted to poke a hornet's nest, but what he didn't expect was a group of giant dragons flying out of it.
This is not how gangsters play~!
These damn bitches are still being unreasonable~!
According to folklore, when he heard that Archduke Julius had brought half a million troops to deal with him, Hadou was stunned for three minutes and then locked himself in his room for three days.
Including Hadou, Crown Prince Takade, Second Prince Gondoles, and the rebel warlords who raised the banner of rebellion against Queen Isabella, everyone was dumbfounded.
Their first reaction is fear.
What is the concept of half a million troops?
Including the civil war of the Ruman Empire hundreds of years ago, this was only the second time in this thousand-year history that such a large-scale army appeared.
A powerful army of half a million composed of Ruman's regular army, professional guards of the Holy See, and elites from various countries, led by two genius generals, Archduke Julius and the Count of Lorraine, is enough to make the world tremble.
The southern rebels spent all their money to organize an army of 170,000.
Half of them are made up of improvised and miscellaneous troops. Not to mention the armor and high-end goods, many soldiers only have a wooden stick tied with an iron piece as a weapon. They don't even have regular clothes.
Among them there are also old, weak, sick and disabled, green-skinned hooligans and strong men brought in temporarily. They are just brought in to make up the numbers and to scare people.
Since the south is the territory of conservative forces, it is still under the control of small and medium-sized feudal landlords.
Those country bumpkins only know how to dig potatoes and nibble cabbage. They don’t understand the importance of commerce and industry at all. They have not established a complete business system like Lorraine, and they have not entered the industrial revolution like him. golden age.
The southern rebels did not have a complete industry, so they could not produce high-quality steel. Without plowshares and seeders made of high-quality steel, they could not easily open the land and sow seeds.
Without bearings made of high-quality steel, there would be no way to build high-efficiency windmills and waterwheels. Without such high-efficiency windmills and waterwheels, there would be no way to properly irrigate the land.
In most cases, they still rely on the weather. They invest more and produce less. Then you can imagine the situation in agriculture.
Of course, under this situation, if they can have a developed business, they can recover some lost points.
But this group of outstanding landowners, represented by Huang Shiren, needed to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in order to gain anything because of their underdeveloped agriculture. Therefore, in order to ensure their own interests, they had to find ways to tie up all the labor force.
on the land.
The ideological emphasis on agriculture and neglect of business is serious.
As a result, their business situation can be imagined.
Agriculture is underdeveloped, there is no food, industry is underdeveloped, there are no weapons or equipment, commerce is underdeveloped, and there is no money.
Under such circumstances, even if the southern rebels worked hard, they would not be able to support so many troops for a year.
They themselves know this, and so do Queen Isabella and the Almohad New Army.
Marquis Weishan twirled his fingers and said carefully: "Although the rebels claim to be 200,000, they are actually only 170,000. Among them, there are only about 90,000 who are worthy of fighting, including 70,000 from Hadou.
There are more minerals in the south, but it is not a major food-producing area. According to our estimate of the most serious situation, the food stocks of the rebel defenders can only last for fourteen months. Seven months have passed now.
That's why the rebels have to constantly take the initiative to attack. Their main purpose is to seize war supplies.
Marquis Weishan pointed at the map and said: "The Ruvel and Dehura areas are both the granary of the empire. We have always been at a disadvantage in these two areas, and May is the harvest season. But at this time:"
Marquis Weishan smiled slightly at Lorraine and the others, and said: "The news of the establishment of the peacekeeping force spread back to Almohad, causing a huge shock in the entire empire. The rebels quickly withdrew and reduced their strength."
The Marquis of Weishan removed the small black flag representing Hadou near Ruweil City, put it back in red, and said happily: "The Ruweil area is under our control again. The rebels in the Dehura area also withdrew to Zamibia.
On the south bank of the river, even Hadu chose to shrink and retreat from South Karoo Province.
Throughout May, the new army was regaining lost ground. We retook the city of Gasser, and the leader of the rebels in Mekele Province was also killed by our army in the battle. This is a major victory."
The officer next to him hurriedly took off the black flag and arrow and inserted the red one back.
The situation on the map has changed again to the same as a year ago.
The southern rebels also returned without success.
Having said this, Marquis Weishan breathed a sigh of relief.
The siege was relieved in the north, and the imminent danger disappeared. Everyone retreated to their dens to heal their wounds and prepare for the coming storm.
Marquis Weishan clicked on the only black flag on the north bank of the Zamibia River and said: "At that time, on the north bank of the Zamibia River, there was only one place, Prisca Ferry, which was still occupied by the Hadou rebels."
The Almohad officials behind Marquis Vichan also breathed a sigh of relief, although the most dangerous time had passed and victory was within sight.
However, when they recalled the experience of those six months, they still had lingering fears. At that time, many people were ready to immigrate, and the noble and Hui families tried their best to transfer their assets abroad. Everyone spent a lot of money on this.
After hearing the news that the peacekeepers would help them put down Haddu, their first reaction was not happiness, but regret.
"Damn~! If I had known there were reinforcements, I wouldn't have transferred the money. The commission is very expensive."
On the contrary, it was a mysterious force that, at that time, frantically bought the land, manors, mines and other high-quality assets sold by these noble Hui officials who wanted to immigrate at less than half the price.
After the news of the arrival of the peacekeeping force came, the prices of these high-quality assets immediately skyrocketed, 30% higher than before. This mysterious power made a lot of money.
But if you think about it, who can grasp this information immediately and raise a large amount of funds, everyone has a basic idea of this mysterious power.
I didn't look at that period of time. Queen Isabella's face was glowing all day long, and she was smiling at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She casually rewarded her subordinates with gems, silks, Chanel suits, etc.
Although both Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius also understood the story of the war described by the Marquis of Weishan, the effect was more direct and the understanding was clearer when told from the mouth of the Marquis of Weishan.
The Marquis of Weishan drank a glass of water, glanced at Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "However, in the recent period, the rebels have taken action again. The rebel leaders of the three provinces led the total number
An army of no less than 50,000 people launched a series of new attacks against us. Large areas in the south fell again.
This time, the Almohad officials were dissatisfied and looked at Lorraine and Archduke Julius. It was you guys who said you were going to hold an exercise and stood still, but they saw the advantage and came back.
Queen Isabella smiled softly and said: "Don't worry about these young people, deal with them, His Highness the Grand Duke and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Lorraine can avoid them at the snap of a finger."
Lorraine laughed, Queen Isabella was trying to squeeze Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius.
Since these gangsters could be wiped out at the hands of Lorraine and the Grand Duke, but they have not been wiped out until now, let’s talk about Grand Duke Julius, Lorraine and the peacekeepers who only eat and don’t work. They are just a bunch of foodies.
The Almohad officials opposite him all glared at him and Archduke Julius. Lorraine just smiled and leaned back in his chair, not caring at all.
Grand Duke Julius didn't seem to understand Queen Isabella's meaning at all. He really thought that Queen Isabella was praising him. He raised his head proudly and said with an arrogant smile: "Isabella, you are absolutely right."
.”
The Almohad officials sighed in unison: These two are extremely thick-skinned, and they simply don't care.
Lorraine didn't care. Archduke Julius pretended not to hear it. They didn't believe that a big shot with more than 20 years of experience in governing could not understand even a single sentence.
Queen Isabella's hard work was in vain.
The original plan of the Almohad Empire government was for the peacekeeping force coalition to land in May and start the war in June. With the overwhelming force of half a million soldiers, they would crush Hadou and other rebels in one fell swoop.
At most, by the end of September, the war will be almost over, and then the peacekeeping troops will snap back and leave, so that everyone can have a peaceful and peaceful New Year and celebrate the rebirth of the Almohad Empire.
More importantly, we should occupy the official positions in the southern provinces before the official evaluation season in the spring of the next year.
Putting down the rebellion in the south means that eight governor positions and more than 200 city lord positions will be vacated.
There are countless other positions at the provincial, ministerial, and bureau-level, and a conservative estimate is that there will be more than 2,000 people.
When the Almohad Empire returned to the government, many pairs of eyes looked eagerly at it.
Some people have even begun to appoint officials and make wishes in advance.
What dissatisfied the Almohads was that Grand Duke Julius Sihu was not in a hurry to kill their great enemy Haddu.
On the contrary, he spent every day leisurely making love with their queen.
Lorraine simply used their Almohad Empire as a large training ground, doing one exercise after another.
You said it's not your first time to exercise. It's appropriate to train troops in unfamiliar areas.
After more than a month of acting, when the peacekeeping force commanders gathered at the headquarters, the Almohads finally thought they were going to declare war and the champagne was opened.
Damn it, practice again~!
And it was publicly stated that the exercise would last for two months. This was not obvious, so I told Hadu, don’t worry, we won’t beat you during these two months.
When the peacekeeping troops planned to land, Hadou and his allies were in panic for a while. They thought that destruction was just around the corner. If they had not known that surrender would not work, they might have surrendered long ago.
If you surrender to Queen Isabella before the maintenance troops arrive, you can escape safely. If you surrender after the maintenance troops arrive, they will definitely be dead.
Seeing that the peacekeeping troops had not moved, Lorraine was doing one exercise after another, with no intention of going south. The rebel warlords got excited again, gathered their troops and went out to seize territory.
At this time, everything is fake, only the territory and the army are real.
The imperial government is seeing a good situation, but the rebels are once again attacking the city and occupying territory. The peacekeeping troops are constantly making soy sauce in the north. The imperial government is anxious from top to bottom.
Seeing so much money flowing away makes anyone anxious and scolding.
The main purpose of today's meeting is actually to urge peacekeeping troops to send troops to join the war as soon as possible.
"Go and overturn Hadou's car. I'm waiting to be an official." They could only bury words like this in their hearts.
He didn't even dare to openly urge Duke Julius and Lorraine to send troops.
They have half a million troops in their hands, do they need to listen to their Almohad rattling in their ears?
A veteran behind Marquis Weishan said with emotion: "If this continues, the two southern provinces will be lost."
Grand Duke Julius glanced at him impatiently and said angrily: "If they want it, just give it to them."
The Grand Duke was very dissatisfied with the Almohads for always interrupting his romantic affairs, and secretly cursed them: I don't know how precious time is, so how easy is it for me to enter the palace?
As soon as the Grand Duke said this, the Almohad ministers were in an uproar, and even Queen Isabella was stunned.
Several Almohad veterans turned red with excitement, jumped up and shouted loudly: "Every inch of land in the Almohad Empire is precious."
"If the land is handed over to the enemy, what else will our army do?"
“One inch of river, one drop of blood, one hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand soldiers, if you don’t fight, we will fight ourselves.
"That's it~! Please allow us to recruit troops to go to war, Your Majesty."
"..."
The Almohads sitting opposite the peacekeepers jumped up to express their loyalty and indignation.
Even if you don't want to stand up, you can't yell with them.
On issues of principle involving land, if you don't stand up and show your loyalty, Queen Isabella will look into her eyes and she will definitely settle the score with him afterwards.
Everyone is holding up the emperor's quotations and shouting long live. If you don't shout, aren't you seeking death?
Queen Ihobella showed a troubled look, and Marquis Weishan frowned, turned to face his colleagues, and shouted: "Quiet, quiet, pay attention to the order of the meeting."
"Prime Minister, where are you?"
"Why do you agree to give away the country?"
"Fight back the Weishan traitors."
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Marquis Weishan."
"Second the motion, second the motion~!" (To be continued.
