In the palace, Yale XIII immediately received two memorials from Gerben City. The two memorials described the battle situation roughly the same. This is also a kind of evidence to ensure the most accurate battle situation.
"Machaliqi, the lord of Istan City, led all the officials in the city to surrender, and personally led a 50,000 army to attack Gerben City with the thieves..."
"The lord of Geerben City and the third-class marquis of the Empire, Baiguli, vowed to defend Geerben City to the death. Although he was weak, he still stood firm in the city for four days, winning precious time for reinforcements."
"Unfortunately, although reinforcements arrived, they were like stones sinking into the sea. After the royal imperial guards rushed into the enemy's formation, they were like stones sinking into the sea. Marquis of Baigu finally died heroically!"
"When the battle situation was intertwined and critical, the second-class count of the Empire and the commander of the Eighth Regiment, Mo David, defeated Togro, the commander of the 19th Regiment of the Roman Central Army, and killed Bucridge, the commander of the 7th Division of the Roman Central Army, and completely defeated the 7th Division of the Roman Central Army."
"......Then, David Mo led his army to support Kubrey, and killed Kerkori, the commander of the 15th Rome Regiment, at the city head, completely stabilizing the crisis in Gerben City..."
"At the same time, Kubrey, the commander of the second-class marquis of the Empire and the commander of the Royal Third Division, was killed by Sariyev, the commander of the Third Division of the Roman Central Army..."
"After Kubrey's heroic sacrifice, the morale of the Roman army was greatly boosted. Fortunately, David Dawei severely injured Sariyev with one arrow. Sariyev could not afford to rise on the spot, and his life and death are still uncertain..."
"Your Majesty Suo's surname is the power of heaven, the Third Division defeated the two Central Divisions of the Roman Army and killed countless ordinary troops of the Roman Empire..."
"Gerben City is now empty in military strength, and both the ordinary army and the royal imperial guards have suffered heavy casualties. Please send troops to support him in case the Roman Empire raids again!"
The last signatures of the two memorials were Yurien, deputy commander of the Third Division, and Lekel, deputy chief of the Gerben City.
Yale XIII compared the two memorials, and there were some differences between them. Chalekel's memorial only reported the situation of the war.
Yurien's memorial was mixed with some sand. In addition to the situation of the war, he also impeached two senior generals of the Third Division. He could not see his joy or anger on his face, so he sealed all the memorials.
Taking the memorial from Chalekel, he said to a Xuezhe who was waiting in the hall: "Take this memorial to the Military Affairs Office and let them quickly discuss the post-war affairs."
After Xuezhe took the note, he quickly took the order and left. Yale XIII gently fiddled with the Julian memorial left on the table with his fingers, and a coldness flashed through his eyes.
According to the rules of the imperial war, there should be a messenger coming, but what is brought will no longer be memorials, but instead records the crystal balls on the entire battlefield.
The description of the civil war in the memorial was extremely detailed, and scenes flashed through Yale XIII's mind. The casualties of the two sides recorded later made him imagine the tragic extent of the war.
His eyes repeatedly swept over David Mo's name. This young man he promoted casually shined in this war and almost turned the whole situation around with his own strength.
Sitting quietly on the golden chair, his fingers knocked back and forth on the table, his eyes flashing, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
...
Chalekel's memorial was soon sent to the Military Affairs Office. The six military ministers had already received the news, all of whom were in the small conference hall of the Military Affairs Office, waiting for the memorials from the palace.
After the six people read the content of the entire battle situation, their expressions finally relaxed, because everyone knew something in their hearts. If Gerben City could not be defended, some of them must serve as scapegoats.
Minister of Military Affairs and the third-class duke Gragia took the lead and said, "Since the battle has been won, I suggest sending out the battle report. Now the whole world is paying attention to southern Xinjiang, and it doesn't matter if you hide it."
He never liked to express his thoughts. When he was invading Rome, he remained silent in the face of Yale XIII's reproach.
The third-class Duke Montelo glanced at the expressions of everyone, and smiled faintly on his face: "I agree with Gragia's proposal. This battle has touched the hearts of countless people. It's time to have a result."
The first-class Marquis Havikol shook his head, and he frowned slightly and said, "Although the Battle of Gerben was won, Istan City is still in the hands of the Romans. If the people are affected by this victory, I am afraid that the future will not end..."
Hearing his words, the others nodded one after another. Although the words were extremely obscure, everyone understood the meaning in them.
Originally, the Military Affairs Office did not advocate further intensifying the conflict and controlled the scale of this war only in southern Xinjiang. Once the victory of the Battle of Gerben inspired people, the people would definitely burst into voices to retake Istan, and even attempt to invade Rome's territory.
Once the war breaks out in full swing, not to mention the financial problems of the empire, the six of them will be the first victims of interests. In order to provide a high-efficiency mechanism, power must be further concentrated.
And now the current situation where power is controlled by the six of them, no one of them is willing to break it. In the words of the Military Affairs Office, this is the best era for power dispersion!
Seeing everyone nodding, Harvey Cole smiled slightly and continued: "But the war report must be released. Someone had seen it when the messenger came. If you hold it down, you will not report it. I am afraid that our Military Affairs Office will soon give someone a handle!"
When Rob Carre saw Harvey Cole's eyes falling on him, he couldn't continue to remain silent, so he had to smile and said: "Actually, the problem is very simple. Everyone is smart, so there is no need for me to say..."
He paused before continuing: "Victory can be divided into many types, including big wins and small wins... When announcing the news, just pay a little attention to the focus."
Tuscon shook his head slightly, his eyes narrowed, and a flash of light flashed, and he said lightly: "It's not enough to win alone. This matter must be a tragic victory. Let everyone understand that victory is not easy, and it's even a bit lucky..."
His meaning was obviously to create an illusion for the people of the Holy Empire: the Roman Empire was very powerful, and this time Gerben's victory was just a lucky chance. If he asked to send troops, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Budilson, who had not spoken, finally spoke. While everyone was silent, he glanced at everyone and pointed to the memorial on the conference table.
"There are many breakthroughs in this memorial... Kubrey died in battle, Baiguli died in battle, and deputy division commander Paul was killed in battle. He was so seriously injured. Who can deny that this was a tragic victory!"
They were able to become the most powerful ministers in the empire, not because of their cultivation level of gold above level 5.
Kubrey has the sixth level of gold, but he can only serve as a second-level teacher. Polk's ninth level of gold, and can only serve as the vice dean of Star Academy.
They need to have a keen sense of political aura and a subtle grasp of the empire's current situation. The status of aristocrats is just a title for them and cannot help them ascend to official positions of the third rank or above.
When Gragia heard Budilson's words, she smiled slightly and helped him add: "It's a miserable situation. Victory needs a hero to lay the groundwork..."
When several other people heard his words, smiles appeared on their faces, and Montelo even laughed softly. Although Rob Carrey also had a smile on his face, he secretly sighed in his heart: This is the time to create heroes...
When Gragia saw everyone laughing, she shook her head slightly, pointed to the memorials on the conference table, and said with a smile: "It feels like everything is arranged. This David Mo has such a dazzling record and will not leave any talk at all."
The other people have their own thoughts, because everyone knows that once this public opinion storm is created, the empire will have a rising star. In the short term, no one can stop him from being promoted.
When Tuscon saw that the atmosphere was a little relaxed, he continued: "Since the matter of promulgation has been discussed, let's talk about the issue of rewards. We need to draw up a reward list as soon as possible and send it to the palace."
As soon as the word "reward" came out, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall was a little bit stagnant, because everyone knew that this problem was the most troublesome problem.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming dull, Tuscon cleared his throat and continued: "Yesterday, the Ministry of Finance had calculated that at most two million gold coins could be squeezed out for rewards, so everything could only be frugal."
The other five people felt all in their hearts. The six people looked at each other for a few times, with embarrassment, embarrassment, and helplessness.
There were nearly 9,000 soldiers who died in battle, and two million gold coins were not enough for pensions, let alone rewards. Budilson sighed slightly. He was nominally the commander of the First Army and the Third Division was under his jurisdiction.
He shook his head and said slightly dissatisfied: "This little money is not enough to even put a gap between the teeth. If there is a problem with the reward, it may shake the morale of the army!"
Everyone here will not allow the morale of the army to shake. That is the foundation of their power. This matter is almost related to the destruction of the country and the family. No one will hesitate when facing such a big problem.
So Harvey Cole frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Then let's win the title! The gold coins will be reduced accordingly, and some of the meritorious soldiers will be promoted to promote the sense of honor of soldiers!"
A good-looking woman is hard to cook without rice. Several people looked at each other and finally agreed with Harvey Cole's method. There was indeed such a period in history. In their opinion, it would be over if he stood up.
After the Military Affairs Office reported the situation of the war, the whole world gradually became tragic. Many people even couldn't help but shed tears after listening to the complete situation of the war in this deliberately exaggerated environment!
At the same time, the name Mo David spread throughout the empire, competing with five regiment-level and above officers in the Roman Empire, and killing a duke-level nobleman in the Roman Empire, which ignited the long-standing boiling for a while!
