MTL - Law of the Devil-Chapter 596 [heart is hard to measure]
Chapter 569 [heart is hard to measure]
Above the main hall, although the brazier was burning around, the flame did not seem to dispel the chill of the temple.
And this cold is not caused by the weather!
Above the temple, the regent Wang Chen's prince looks cold and gloomy, sitting on the throne, sinking into silence.
Below, the tens of thousands of ministers of the Empire gathered together, but everyone is sinking. Just because, above the steps, a court ceremonial officer is using a tense voice to read a new battle report from the front line!
The voice of the court ceremonial officer was originally loud, but when I read the battle report, my face was getting whiter and white, and the voice was too hoarse because of too much tension. The voice came to the back, and some tremors faint...
“Reporting: On the afternoon of March 31, the enemy forces crossed the river, and the Sixth Infantry Division of the Stormtroopers, the Ninth Infantry Division, the Third Cavalry Battalion, and the directly attached heavy engineering corps stationed in the river defense. The Eastern Fortress was stationed. The submarine team went to the river. During the fierce battle to the evening, our fleet was completely annihilated, and most of the sailors in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were in the country. In the evening, a total of 151 airship battalions in the eastern fortress of China were fighting with the enemy over the river defense. Fifty-one airships were also shot down. One thousand and forty-three of the Air Force’s soldiers were not surviving.
It was night, the first strong crossing river defense, the loss of the Sixth Division of our Ministry was heavy, and the casualties of the Ninth Infantry Division exceeded 40%. Due to the loss of the fleet, we were unable to block the river, and we were unable to prevent the enemy from erecting the pontoon to cross the river. The night was fierce until the first day of April. The enemy troops crossed the river and occupied the shoal. The Ministry was unable to resist. Forced to withdraw from the fortress city defense.
In this battle, the air force of the eastern defense line, the navy, was exhausted. The sixth infantry division, which is the head of the division, is the following commander of the division, and the officers and men of the whole division are 20,920, and all of them are killed! The ninth division injured more than 40%, and most of them were injured. Has been ordered to retreat. At present, about 100,000 enemy troops have successfully crossed the river. Chen Bing is under the city. Before the letter was sent, he has already defeated the enemy three times to attack the city. The damage is quite huge! The deputy commander of the tyrants of the tyrants, the empire lieutenant Dominguez is afraid to plead guilty, and the death of the sect is not enough to offset the crime of defeat, but the war in the east is urgent. I am not sorry for life and death, and my Eastern Front will die and die together with the city defense.
There are quite a few troops in the city, and the army is called upon to speed up the reinforcements. If the reinforcements are not in January, the eastern fortress will not be owned by the empire! ”
Read the last. The court etiquette officer was full of cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn’t help but wipe his feet with his sleeves. He took a deep breath and finished the last sentence: "The commander of the Eastern Line. The deputy head of the Storm Corps, Dominguez, is sincere and fearful. The first book."
Hey, finally put away the battle report, this court etiquette body seems to be standing still, and quickly turned back to the regent king bent down, hands re-presented the battle report.
For a time, the hall was in a state of extreme silence, and no one was snoring. Even the cough sounds. All the empire ministers held their breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe. They quietly watched the Regent sitting on the top, waiting for the king to open the hearts of everyone, I am afraid, the next one is the Regent of the Regent. Angry...
This silent scene has lasted for nearly five minutes. The Regent does not speak. Which one below dares to speak?
Finally, I have been sitting there for the cold-hearted Chen Huangzi. The smile on the corner of the mouth is a little bit of a smile. The smile is not a joy, but an infinite chill.
"Oh...hehehehe..." The laughter carries a taste of the calendar. The emperor slowly stood up, his eyes swept over the crowd, and finally fell on the body of the military minister, Camisiro. Opened the mouth.
"Very good! Very good! Eastern Fortress, eight sea spirit class warships, thousands of navies, died in World War I! One hundred and fifty airships, one thousand air forces, all over the army! A reorganized empire battle The Infantry Division of the Legion, 20,000 people died in battle, even the head of the division was smashed, and a main battle group was completely disabled! I heard that the accumulated bodies have blocked the river! The river sees red, the color is many days. Don't retire! Haha... This fiasco... Everyone, since the opening of the Augustine dynasty, I have never been in the past years!"
Said, his eyes are stunned, staring at Camisiro: "Camiciello, you said that even 30 years ago, we and the Northwest Prairie did not experience this kind of war. Failed!"
Camisiro looked tight. As a military minister, he had to take a step and coughed. He carefully said: "His Royal High is good. Thirty years ago, the Empire expedition to the grasslands, the war lasted nearly three years. The Imperial Army has never suffered such a fiasco."
"The eastern fortress was originally stationed in three main warfare divisions, there are 60,000 local garrison troops, 40,000 heavy engineers... The city's strength has already exceeded 200,000! But now, actually came to seek reinforcements. 200,000 people, full of food and grass weapons, actually can not keep a city!!"
With the last screaming, Chen Huangzi slammed the table with a force, and a cup in front of him was shaken to the ground, and a slamming sound turned into pieces!
"What do you want to eat in the military! I heard that the enemy has a race that can be seen underwater! This kind of thing was known a few months ago! But why hasn't it been prepared for it? Thousands of water soldiers are terrible, do you want to let tens of thousands of people die next time, your military department began to pay attention to it!! And the Air Force... Isn’t the front line not knowing that the other side has air combat units!!"
Camisiro was also aggrieved in his heart, but as a military minister, he had to stand here at this moment, bearing the anger of the Regent.
Just seeing the anger of the emperor's anger more and more uncontrollable, chest ups and downs, shortness of breath, and finally, but suddenly the body swayed, back half a step, reached out to hold the throne of the handrail, one hand to raise the chest, coughed fiercely.
Camisiro bit his teeth, kneeling down on one knee, pressing the patience of the patient, and finally waiting for the emperor to cough, he slowly said: "His Royal Highness... Frontline strength, I am an Imperial Military Minister, naturally Unshirkable responsibility. Just..."
"Just? Just what?" Chen Huangzi's eyes were sensational. I wheezed for a while, stopped coughing, and stared coldly at Camisiro: "Do you have any difficulties? Hey, I handed you the military, and now I have lost, you want to shirk responsibility?!"
The last sentence, the tone of the cold, in this moment. That cold eyes, let Camisiro could not help but fight a chill!
In the memory, it seems that the emperor has been a long time, and has not revealed this kind of thunder and anger!
Since he took office, he has always been an inscrutable emperor. He has never revealed his emotions and sorrows. On weekdays, most of his officials have shown a gentle and warm attitude.
But don't forget... this Chen Huangzi. It is definitely not a kind of gentle and kind person! He is...starting with a coup! When I first killed my brother, I put my own father under house arrest and took the monk who took the imperial power to the top!
Thinking of this, Camisiro shivered, but tried to sink. Looking up, and the Emperor Chen, the tone of his eyes, although respectful, but also with a trace of firmness: "His Royal Highness! I dare not shirk my responsibility. I am the Minister of Military Affairs. The command of the Department of Warfare is the most unfavorable plan, There are mistakes and omissions. As the head of the military, I am naturally duty-bound and willing to bear your punishment! But..."
"But what?" Chen Huangzi cold and cold.
"But..." Camisiro felt himself under the eyes of the other party, and a cold sweat on his back ran down the spine, daring his head. "But, this battle is defeated. In my opinion, the main reasons are Second, one is the defeat of the navy on the river! Losing the warship and losing the advantage of water, we can't block the river. Although the river is long, it can hardly be defended! On this point, although a few months ago I already know that the other party has an underwater race. But the commander has been planning for a long time. But I have not been able to come up with a perfect countermeasure. The result is delayed until today! I am willing to blame myself! And the second is the defeat of the Air Force! ”
When it comes to the pale air of the Air Force, Camisiro seems to have a bit of suffocation. He is there, and his spine is quite straight. He is eager to meet the eyes of Chen’s prince, and his courage is loud: “The Air Force is fierce, and this battle is even more meaningful. Unusual! Losing the river, we just lost the river defense, as long as the city is guarded, although the situation is somewhat inferior, but there is still room for salvation, far from the worst time. But the air force's fiasco And the enemy actually has a fighting race that can fly in the air. This kind of thing has the greatest impact on us! The other party has such a force, can fly in the sky, come and go like the wind... So, our front line of Kabbah Even if the squad defense line is sturdy, it can't defend against the enemies in the sky! As long as the enemy is willing, they can fight the air in the air, and can easily fly over the front line, and even go directly to the inner land of the empire! Even if it is a raid on the emperor, I am afraid ......"
The last sentence was a bit too horrified, but at the moment, I have to say that Camisiro screamed and said: "I am afraid it is not impossible!"
When this was said, many ministers in the hall suddenly changed their faces, and they couldn’t help but whisper.
"Give me shut up!!" Chen Huangzi suddenly blinked and smacked, and the murderous eyes swept over, and suddenly the ministers quickly bowed their heads and closed their mouths.
Chen Huangzi took a step down and stared at Camisiro: "You keep going!"
"Yes, Your Highness." Camisio went to the head, and this continued: "The air combat thing, the airship unit is a new type of weapon after all, and the air force is also the first river in the empire for thousands of years... No, it should be said that it is the first river of human history! This unprecedented new weapon, the unprecedented new concept of combat, has only appeared for a few years, and this time the commander officially controls this kind of thing, actually applied to the empire. In the midst of the war, it’s only a matter of ten months!
After all, this is a new weapon, a new concept. Although the military commander has many experienced imperial warlords and many civilian staff, he is familiar with various strategies and tactics, but after all, no one has ever touched it before. This new thing, let alone experience, has never even thought of it. In this way, in this short period of time, it is difficult for the commanding department to completely control this new type of operational concept, and it is difficult to come up with a complete air combat approach. We are also slowly exploring. Your Highness, I am daring to say a word. Like this epoch-making new weapon and operational concept, I am afraid that it will not be controlled in a short period of one or two or three years! To find out a complete set of ideas. It is a long process to accumulate experience.
Therefore, the fiasco of the Air Force is not my responsibility to shirk, but I believe that this responsibility is not in the military, not in personnel. It's about current events! It’s not that the princes of the commanding department don’t work hard, but it’s really...we don’t understand! ”
What he said in his words is the truth. After all, if a new concept is to be fully controlled, it will not be possible in the short term.
Although Du Wei made the Air Force, even in the past life of Du Wei, from the appearance of the first aircraft in human history (1903), to the first air battle in military history (1914), to the first How many years have passed during the period of development of the air operations concept (the late World War I)?
On the mainland of Roland. How long does the airship appear? How long does it take to apply to the military field?
What's more, this is from the cold weapon war, jumping directly to the air battle, this kind of leap-forward progress, lack of sufficient military military theoretical basis. Let those who are commanding the locals, even if they want to work hard, they have a feeling of being confused and unable to start.
Everyone knows that this thing is good. But how do you use it? How can I use it? This is not perfect in a day or two.
The emperor of Chen is silent. He is silent for a while. After all, he is also a Mingjun, not a melancholy. At this moment, he understands that Camisiro is telling the truth.
"Then, what do you mean?" Chen Huangzi lowered his voice and stared at Camisiro.
Camisiro took a deep breath: "His Highness! The Air Force is fiasco, and the impact on us is not simply the defeat of this war! The enemy's air superiority is so great, if they desperately cross the line of defense. Assault empire Abdomen, even, assault on the emperor, these things are what we must pay attention to! I want to come now, this field of air combat is really inscrutable, and those enemies. It seems that we must lead us a lot in this respect. So... ”
"If you have anything to say, I don't blame you." Chen Huangzi's eyes flashed.
"So. I often think that I can invent this new kind of weapon. I want to apply it to the founder of the military field. The Duke of Tulips is really amazing, and the talents of the sky are so fascinating! A new type of field, but now the front line is defeated, it is not that the Air Force is useless, but we will not use it, and it will not work well. Therefore, I feel that I am afraid that the air combat field will not be competent for others. I am afraid that only the Duke of Tulips himself is invited. After the host, it will be most effective! After all, this thing was invented by him, and he used the military first! Others, he is not so good at this field. Moreover, the Duke of Tulips is a hero, in the northwest and For the empire's refusal to prairie tigers and wolves, there are heroes and heroes, and they are also outstanding military ministers..."
When Camisiro talked and said, he felt invisibly that many of his colleagues in the surrounding area were throwing themselves with all kinds of suspicious and complicated eyes, and even the above-mentioned regent, looking at his own eyes, became more and more embarrassed. Weird.
But this time, he did not hesitate, he could only bite his teeth and screamed: "I am willing to recommend the Duke of Tulips, Du Wei Luo Lin Rudolf, recommend him as the commander of the Eastern Front of the theater, and head to the Eastern Front. The overall situation, clean up the gorgeous battle!!"
Hey!
In the end, these two sentences were sung, and everyone in the hall suddenly changed color. One by one, they immediately picked up. For a time, everyone in the hall sighed and sighed. There was a court etiquette reminder, but they couldn’t stop them. Their arguments.
Recommend the Duke of Tulips to the front line as the coach?
Camisiro... Is this guy stupid? A few days ago, the royal family made a contradiction with the tulip family. Even if the Regent King still remembers the old, he still has some favors and appreciations for the Duke of Tulips. But now, whether it is public or private, even if it is just to avoid suspicion, then the Duke of Tulips should never take control of the military power again! !
Now in this case, the Duke of Tulips is best to stay in the capital, and be honest. Otherwise, once he is in power and is still in front of the military, then there will be doubts about the monarch and minister...
Everyone thinks that this guy of Camisiro must be faint, and this idea will come out! Moreover, some people think that Camisiro is deliberately pushing the Duke of Tulips to the fire to roast!
At this time, it’s too late to hide. If you take control of it again, it’s the road to doubt!
The hall said that for a while, no one dared to stand up and talk. The emperor of Chen was as if he had been indulging for a moment, his face was heavily expressiond, but he finally turned into a slight smile on his lips.
For a long time, he raised his hand and dissatisfied and said: "What are you arguing! Is it your own ballroom?"
With his fire, the hall was quiet again.
Chen Huangzi walked down the steps, but this time he went straight to the front of Camisiro, standing in front of him, condescending, staring at Camisiro lying there. Chen Huangzi's eyes flashed, one word and one meal, Shen Sheng: "Camiciro, you are recommending Du Wei to the front line to preside over the overall situation, isn't it?"
"……Yes!"
Chen Huangzi seems to be not enough. He took a deep breath and repeated it again. This time he deliberately deepened his tone: "You mean, you want Duwei to be the commander and go to the front line commander of the Eastern Front?"
"...Yes!" Camisiro had sweated, but fiercely slammed his head and said: "Yes, I mean."
On the main hall, the birds were silent, and everyone stared nervously at the emperor.
The regent king closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he reopened his dual purpose, his eyes were a strange light, and his mouth slowly spit out a word!
"quasi!"
After the meeting, Camisiro walked out of the main hall and came to the palace square, but the whole person seemed to have collapsed. He only felt his legs floating, soft, and even walking away. When the cold wind blows and the body trembles, I feel that my underwear has been soaked with sweat!
No matter how……
He subconsciously turned around and glanced at the palace hall behind him, pinching his fists.
No matter what... I am gambling, but I am gambling.
However, I couldn’t help but feel a bitter smile.
The old prime minister... You taught me that today’s public is really recommending Du Wei to take control of the military power. What does it mean?
I remember the battle report. In fact, I saw it one step earlier last night. Last night, at home, the old prime minister Rob Scheler stared at himself. At that time, the old man looked serious, but did not hesitate, and resolutely told himself: above tomorrow's meeting, let yourself not worry, directly recommend Du Wei!
At the same time, the old man also said something inscrutable:
"Don't be afraid, don't worry about the Regent King will suspicion of you! At this time, you openly recommend Du Wei, but you can become more and more like your 'Qing Qing'! And... If I didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid you don't even say In a few days, the Regent is also going to send Du Wei to the front."
Sure enough, the old man who is dying, actually guessed it!
