Ten years later, and after the war broke out, His Majesty the Emperor finally appeared at the Privy Council meeting for the first time. This made the imperial ministers and generals who were impatient because of the delay in advancing the war finally feel that
I have a backbone.
Of course, we were in the middle of a war after all, so frontline commanders like Marshal Ikenroga, who were not members of the Privy Council, also joined the Privy Council meeting held on December 17 through long-range seismic wave communication.
The generals on the Seide front line felt that His Majesty, the god-like Emperor, was personally attending the Privy Council meeting, perhaps because he was preparing to hold accountable the previous "Abyss Alien Slaughter Project" that was a piece of cake, and they were all panic-stricken.
Even the neurotic generals who looked forward to death would inevitably tremble when imagining the thunderous wrath that His Majesty the Emperor might unleash, as if they were waiting for divine punishment.
Fortunately, Marshal Ikenluojia comforted them that His Majesty the Emperor is a magnanimous Holy King and will never punish the frontline generals who have fulfilled their duties. What's more, even if they really want to be held accountable, they will only ask him first.
Everyone was deeply moved, but looking at the old marshal's expression was like looking at a martyr who was bearing the burden for everyone.
Of course, the Privy Council meeting in which His Majesty the Emperor participated was quite long. Probably because there were many topics discussed, it lasted for more than six hours. During this period, Marshal Ikenroga even left the meeting.
In the room, I had lunch with the generals and had a casual meeting.
"You guys, don't keep staring at me fearfully. We haven't talked about our topic this morning." Marshal Ikenluojia said.
Of course, the old marshal did not tell them what tariffs, expansion of the world, personnel changes in the Privy Council, etc. had been discussed in the morning. As a dignified marshal of the empire and the commander of the far shore cluster of the empire, Duan
Sitting in the Privy Council, I still looked like an ant.
His Majesty the Emperor occasionally asked questions about the Far Shore, but did not discuss it in depth. It seemed that he really used himself as an ordinary military intelligence secretary.
Even so, Marshal Ikenroga felt very honored.
In front of His Majesty the Emperor, who has ruled the empire for two hundred years and is comparable to a true god, no matter whether he is a marshal, a duke, or a minister of the Privy Council, who is not an ant?
"If you are so worried that you can't even eat because of a meeting, then it's best to get out of the front line. The people on the opposite side of the earth may attack at any time, so you must eat and drink while you can eat and sleep.
You should sleep well. You don't need me to explain this kind of thing, right?" the old marshal said again.
At this point, the marshal laughed at himself: "Haha, we obviously have an absolute advantage in military strength, but we don't dare to attack the people on earth. Maybe someone from the Privy Council will join me and be as fearful as a tiger."
Everyone hurriedly comforted the marshal, saying that less than a week had passed since the failure of the Alien Slaughter Plan. The vanguard fleet was almost crippled. Everyone was panicking because of the loss of troops. It would be easy to fall into chaos and be caught by the enemy if we march again. Your Excellency, the marshal, is mature and prudent.
The White Jade Pillar of the Empire...
"I dare not take it. I am just old and want to be cautious. I hope your majesty and other adults can understand us." Marshal Ikenluojia said, and then clicked on someone who had been huddled in the corner of the crowd.
Name: "Major General Yeager Soback, please prepare. There will be a Privy Council meeting and I need your speech."
Soback felt his heart thump, and the spoon in his hand almost fell into the dinner plate.
"Hahaha, of course it has nothing to do with you, but about the gains and losses of the Alien Transformation Plan. The most important parties involved in this battle, Lieutenant General Rhaenys Tarlyon and Duke Garibian Sareran, are already here.
On the way back to the Imperial Capital, they will also attend the Privy Council meeting online. The remaining one is Major General Yeager Soback. Of course you cannot be absent."
Soback quickly forced out a smile and asked in a sincere tone: "But, Your Excellency, how should I answer?"
"Is there any need to ask? Of course you are telling the truth. Report what you saw and heard to His Majesty in a concise and concise way." What the old marshal said seemed like correct nonsense, but in fact it was not what it should be.
Interpreting it in a too superficial way. The so-called conciseness and conciseness, where should it be "simple" and where should it be "comprehensive"? In fact, it still tests the office politics level of the parties concerned.
But in fact, Miss Viscount Serlu and Captain Pegna have already reminded themselves that as the only surviving senior generals in the vanguard fleet, sooner or later the higher-ups will come to question them. At that time,
Choosing what to say and what needs to be said is very important, and to a certain extent it is related to some power games at the top of the empire.
"Then what should I do?" Soback said that his biggest dream is to be a deputy director in charge of logistics under the Generalissimo's Office system. Why should he start thinking about the power game at the top?
"It depends on where you are going to stand." Viscount Sellu said: "The Throne Throne is currently vacant. Duke Garibian promoted this alienation plan in order to increase his chances of succeeding.
.In this way, Lieutenant General Tallien does have reason to question, and even impeaching the Duke is her right."
Captain Peggese said: "However, although this plan failed, it was approved by the Grand Marshal's Office and prepared for nearly half a year. We cannot put the blame on Duke Garibian. This is
It’s not fair.”
"But, now that we have arrived at the Privy Council, the last thing we need is fairness. Duke Garibian and His Highness King Weirent have a close relationship, and King Wei has some subtle conflicts with His Highness King Suliuka. Duke Tarlyan's family
, although they are one of the founding duke families, there are several generations who have not served in the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Palace. Perhaps they need allies from the central government." Miss Serlu used everything she knew as a child of a great noble.
Gossip, try to analyze.
"You mean, let me help Duke Garibian and Lieutenant General Tarlyon reconcile?" Soback thinks this is also excellent. Both of them are actually kind to him. The former even gave him a set of
What about fine tableware for family heirlooms?
As a serious person with upright values, Soback really doesn't want to offend anyone, he only wants good for you and me and good for everyone.
Miss Serlu shook her head and said: "What I mean is... you should be the liaison between Lieutenant General Tanlian and His Royal Highness King Suliuka."
Everyone's analysis was very good. However, Soback didn't know what to say, but he couldn't continue to ask.
In this way, all the generals still finished their lunch without any taste. They felt like they knew they had failed the college entrance examination, but they could only wait for the verdict with trepidation.
Even General Rosanaio, who is also a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, inevitably showed a trace of obvious uneasiness.
There is no way, after all, Emperor Eliasel has not participated in any formal military and political decision-making occasions, including Privy Council meetings, for ten years. What kind of way is he? A veteran general in his seventies is no better than a young man.
Know more.
Of course, these people may be waiting for the results of the college entrance examination. Soback seems to be waiting for the results of the rescue in the ICU. His mind is blank now, and he only feels that even if he rushes to fight the earth for 300 rounds, it will be more torturous than this.
Be good.
In this way, the afternoon Privy Council meeting was held as scheduled.
Fortunately, the people on Earth on the opposite side were actually very martial and did not come to cause trouble while the various empire generals were trembling.
However, a reconnaissance Earth fighter plane approached the construction site where the fortress was being built, and our own fighter jets took off to intercept it. After a period of fighting, both sides, with each losing two fighter planes, exited the battlefield while gesturing with their middle fingers.
Fights of this intensity occurred almost three to five times a day during this period, and they were nothing to worry about.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Marshal Ikenroga asked Soback to come online for a meeting. He stood up while suppressing the trembling, and then received the attention of all his colleagues, including his old friend Lieutenant General Biffick and his old commander Misaro.
The admirals each gave him an encouraging hug, and even the serious Admiral Rosanaio patted him on the shoulder.
At that moment, Soback felt like a kamikaze charging with dead soldiers. However, before entering the communications room, he turned around and forced out a stiff but decent smile, and also said to his colleagues
Showed thumbs up.
The imperial generals immediately applauded.
"Look at this young man, he looks like a Mainer fighting dragon with his head held high," Lieutenant General Biffick said.
"Hahaha, as long as you don't be so frightened that you can't even speak in front of His Majesty the Emperor, that's all." Admiral Misaro said.
"I just hope not to add fuel to the fire at the Privy Council meeting. Now that the morale of the military is weakened, the far shore front needs to ensure stability." said the mature and steady Admiral Rosanaio.
So, at this time, the mentality of the generals changed from waiting for the college entrance examination results to sending their children into the examination room.
The Privy Council meeting ended before 5 o'clock, and there was no delay at all. This probably means that any work involving a boss will definitely get off work on time. And His Majesty the Emperor is the biggest boss in the universe.
Marshal Ikenluojia, who had been meeting for a whole day, was still in high spirits. Of course he knew what everyone was most concerned about, so he said directly: "The failure of the Alien Slaughter War is not everyone's responsibility. Your Majesty asked me to
Let me tell you that he is grateful to you all for your dedication to your duties. All the victims and injured will receive the honor they deserve."
As a result, the atmosphere on the Thor suddenly changed from solemn and oppressive to relaxed.
As for who is responsible for the failure of the Alien Slaughter Project, it is actually none of our business. Marshal Ikenluojia simply told everyone that several veterans from the Operations Department of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and Hoshimi Pavilion have voluntarily retired.
In contrast, Vice Admiral Rhaenys Tarrion, who was seriously injured in the battle, although she lost half of her fleet in the battle, will still be promoted to admiral normally, and will directly enter the Grand Admiral's Palace as a combat officer after recovering from her injuries.
Director.
The generals all thought this was the best news. Sister Renise had lost her troops and all the generals had been promoted, which shows that His Majesty is really not prepared to pursue the problem of defeat on the front line.
Everyone was very moved.
Duke Garibian, the host and executor of the Alien Transformation Project, will officially take over the position of Grand Master of the Astral Knights. After all, the top leadership of the Knights has been vacant for a long time, and it is indeed time for him to return to his position.
However, the throne of King Thoraine, who had also been vacant for a long time, was succeeded by a young man who was not yet twenty years old. He was the nephew of His Highness Belial, the late King Thoraine, who died in the Fortress of Unity. In terms of blood relationship, he
Of course, it is closer, but he is just a rookie who has just awakened his spiritual power, and he is still very immature in all aspects. But such a rookie, he still defeated his elder sister who had perfect seven rings and became the elected emperor.
.
As a result, Brunhild was no longer the youngest elected emperor. She welcomed this very much.
However, it is difficult to understand this as the emperor's punishment for the failure of the battle. You must know that as another initiator of the alien transformation plan, King Wilente officially became the director of strategic staff of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and was also promoted to the rank of marshal, unifying the
Manage all the empire's armaments production and distribution in times of war.
In short, the above personnel arrangements may represent some of the emperor's attitudes, or they may be just accidental results. This needs to be understood based on the level of political struggle of each.
Anyway, after everyone listened to the marshal's explanation of the personnel changes in the imperial capital, most people still regarded it as a melon, but some people started to think about it.
Afterwards, Marshal Ikenroga patted Soback on the shoulder again. This guy actually went offline with him, but now he is still in a dazed state, as if he is thinking about some very important topic.
"I would also like to thank this child. He is an honest child. Because he is honest, he is fair and selfless, so he is objective enough, so that the Privy Council meeting will not become a battlefield where both sides accuse each other and attack." Marshal Ikenroga patted him.
Soback's shoulder: "The Grand Marshal's Office has given an order that the fleet left behind by Lieutenant General Tanlien will be organized under the command of General Yeager Soback and will be under his unified command."
Everyone once again paid attention to this person, which only attracted the latter's reserved (hard) but not rude (expression) appearance (emotion) body (management) smile.
"Young man, hold your chest high, you deserve this. This represents Lieutenant General Tallian's trust in you." Admiral Misaro encouraged.
General Rosanao also nodded comfortingly. He didn't know much about this general who became famous at a young age, but at least he didn't have the arrogance and arrogance of becoming famous at a young age, and was even a little too modest.
As a veteran, what he likes most are humble young people.
"Then, once the fleet reorganization is completed, Rear Admiral Sobek will be responsible for the left wing cover of the entire army." Admiral Rosanaio calculated.
Then am I not the closest to the main gun of the Seed Fortress? If the earth comes over, I have to be on the front line! You old guy, why do you want to harm me when you look so serious? Yeager Soback was stunned.
.
Fortunately, Marshal Ikenroga then explained that according to King Suliuka's suggestion, Soback's fleet will be transferred back to the country for reorganization after the merger, and new personnel and ships will be added. This process will at least take
It's been half a year to a year.
"I understand. When the reorganization is completed, you will have another general star, right?" Lieutenant General Biffick smiled brightly and had a loud voice. He was really happy for his little brother's success.
However, Yeager Soback was not happy at all.
He always felt that if he really became a lieutenant general, he would have the authority to command the main fleet, or he would have to form his own army to act independently. Of course, if it were the decisive battle of the large fleet, I am afraid that the execution would be in
Now comes the task of filling the central axis to attract artillery shells. This is even more dangerous than before when leading the guerrilla fleet.
However, fortunately, he can be temporarily transferred back to the country this time, and at least he can take a breather.
