The Rose Palace welcomed several mysterious guests. The tightly covered carriage drove into the side door that usually did not open at all. It followed the quiet path until it stopped at a semi-enclosed building in the depths. The doors of the three carriages opened one after another, and figures one after another quietly got out of the carriages. Except for the two people who got out of the first carriage, the two carriages behind had only one guest. The kingdom officials who had already been waiting at the stone steps of the building invited the four people inside after some greetings.
If someone can look carefully at the side, they can see that the four people do not seem to belong to the same group. The first two seem to have a slightly higher status. The old man with a thin face is quite energetic, and the other middle-aged man The man gave people a gloomy feeling. Both of them were of yellow race, and they looked a bit dazzling among the Kingdom officials who greeted them. But the burly man who emerged from the carriage of the second carriage was an out-and-out Caucasian, with straight and short brown hair like thorns, a pair of dark gray eyes that always seemed to be a little misty, and he showed a military style when he walked. Wuwei, although there is nothing visible on the outer cover, you can tell from the cowhide military boots under his feet that this guy should be a soldier belonging to the Kingdom of Dodon. He seemed to know the officials who came to greet him. They exchanged pleasantries when they met. It seemed that the white man looked more friendly than the other yellow men.
The man who emerged from the last carriage was a bit shorter than the people in front of him, especially compared to the brown-haired man in front. He had yellow features on his face and his short, low hair looked very capable. . There is a trace of hostility hidden in the cunning brows, and the very clean and tidy businessman's clothes always give people a pretentious feeling. When he gets out of the car, he looks around with his eyes, which makes people feel a bit sneaky.
"Please, please, His Majesty the King and several adults are already waiting for you." The welcoming officials tried to remain reserved despite their enthusiasm for the arriving guests. Although His Majesty the King attached great importance to this meeting, after all, the other party's rank It's not too high to say, as the officials of the kingdom don't want to be too active.
The meeting hall was chosen in the Black Rose Hall, where envoys from various countries are usually received. It can be seen that Sezerif IX attaches great importance to this guest's visit, and judging from the officials who accompanied him in the meeting. It can also be roughly understood that this is a meeting related to military aspects.
The blond and blue-eyed Sezerif IX looks more like a pure Western Continental man. The Caucasian features are particularly prominent on him, with some curly long golden hair, a pair of green eyes, and a big aquiline nose. The fluffy beard is neatly combed, and the broad cheeks are covered by thick beard. Sezerif IX showed enough enthusiasm for the arrival of a group of guests, which made everyone feel flattered, especially the short man walking at the end, whose face showed humility but a bit of arrogance. expression.
"Everyone, I don't think I need to introduce this one. Duke Balov, my new Minister of War. Let me introduce these three to you. Margrave Yanovsky, my new Deputy Minister of War and the Royal Family. The commander of the Guards Cavalry Regiment, Viscount Kukarenko, is the new commander of the Kingdom’s Second Army Corps. This is Viscount Fidel, the commander of the Kingdom’s Fourth Army Corps. The other person is my new Minister of Intelligence, Mis. Marquis Tarlov." Sezerif IX introduced all the guests under his seat to the guests in one breath, then stopped talking and signaled the Minister of War to introduce the guests to everyone in his party.
"This one is His Excellency Leng Qian, the staff officer of His Highness Situ Tai, King Yan of the Tanghe Empire. This one is His Excellency Zhao Chenghuai, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Military Region of the Tanghe Empire. Well, maybe you should know this one, our ally Doton Kingdom General Sereov, deputy commander of the Piao Guard Regiment, and the last one is a guest from afar, His Excellency Hirata Jiro, the Japanese special envoy." The Minister of War, Duke Balov, was very skillful in introducing everyone's identities. But when he read the names of several yellow people, he seemed to stutter a little. It was obvious that he was not yet used to translating the names of these guests in Ranian to his colleagues and subordinates.
The generals of the Kingdom of Poole obviously knew a lot about the guests from the Allies and the Tanghe Empire, but they were only a little curious about this envoy from the Japanese land in the Atlantic Ocean. This should be an extremely important and secret military mission. Why would such a seemingly incompetent person attend the meeting? Could it be said that the Japanese also plan to send troops in this war? And it seems that the Doton allies are not very friendly to Hirata Jiro. Perhaps the issue of Crescent Peninsula and Cook Islands is still deadlocked, making both sides always hostile.
"Everyone, the king's time is very precious, but His Majesty still took time out of his busy schedule to attend this meeting. This shows that His Majesty pays attention to this meeting. I think we don't need to go into details and go directly to the topic. Appropriate. All guests are here under the entrustment of all parties, and they all understand the purpose of our meeting. In fact, the purpose of the meeting is very simple, that is, our Kingdom of Puer will join the Tanghe Empire, His Highness Situ Tai, King of Yan, Duodun The anti-Li alliance formed by the Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom, and at the request of the allies, will participate in the war against the rebellious Li Wufeng who attempts to seize the throne of the Tanghe Empire in the shortest possible time. We will join forces with our traditional ally, the Kingdom of Doton. Let’s join forces to support His Highness King Yan’s orthodox status in the Tanghe Empire, help His Highness King Yan consolidate his rule, and at the same time attack Li Wufeng’s rule as much as possible.”
Although it was a military meeting, the person who presided over the meeting was the Kingdom’s Minister of Intelligence, Marquis Mistalov. He first spoke in Ranian, and then repeated it in proficient Tang, whose fluency in Tang was Leng Qian and Hirata Jiro couldn't help but raise their eyebrows in surprise because of his accent with a hint of Zhongshu dialect.
"Everyone should know that Li Wufeng is currently quite powerful. Because of this, we must attack him as soon as possible. Maybe you all know or participated in the last war we fought against Li Wufeng. To be honest, our army of the Kingdom of Poole Suffered a defeat, it can even be said to be a major defeat. This shows the strength of the Western Xinjiang Army under Li Wufeng. Your guests may also have discovered that several of our reorganized commanders are new. This also marks that our kingdom The reorganization training that has been going on in the past few months has been completed, and we have the strength to participate in a war. Now our traditional ally, the Dodon Kingdom, has two regiments, the Biao Guards and the Phoenix Corps, which have entered the northern part of the Tanghe Empire, plus His Royal Highness King Yan has also assembled twelve Tanghe divisions. We, the Kingdom of Puer, are also preparing to use our strength in this war. We will unite to launch the most violent attack on Li Wufeng and completely defeat Li Wufeng's ambitions and ambitions in the north. conspiracy."
Mistalov's words sounded more like he was reading a manuscript, but they also clearly raised the important topic that the Kingdom of Poole will play their role in the upcoming war. Although Leng Qian and Zhao Chenghuai The two were quite impatient, but they were still happy with each other's last two words. The military reorganization of the Poole people has been going on for two or three months. Almost immediately after the defeat, King Sezerif IX took this opportunity to completely reorganize the old conservative forces in the domestic military formation, from the Minister of War to the various corps. Almost all of the corps commanders were replaced. A large number of young generals were promoted to the position of corps-level officers. Even the corps commanders were renamed commanders. The position of deputy corps commander was abolished and replaced by the chief of staff. A new term within the military system of the Western Continent.
"Well, I think you all should be clear about the general direction. If you are still unclear about anything, you can put it forward at this time. As for the specific combat plan, I think we can discuss it in detail after this meeting." Glancing at his king, Sezerif IX couldn't tell what other thoughts he had on his face. Mistalov directly pushed the topic to everyone.
"Duke Balov, Marquis Mistav, I just want to ask one question, how many troops are your country planning to send in this joint operation, and which troops are they?" Zhao Chenghuai still had that neither yin nor yang expression on his face. , this is the most critical issue, everything else can be resolved in subsequent consultations and plans, but if this point is not made clear in front of their king, it will be a lot more troublesome to talk about it later.
"Well, we initially plan to use two corps to participate in this battle, the second corps and the fourth corps." Mistarov naturally knew what the other party meant, but he still carefully told the other party according to the originally agreed upon plan.
"I'm sorry, His Majesty the King, Duke Balof, I personally think that the Kingdom of Poole can play a greater role in this war." Zhao Chenghuai's face became even more ugly, and there was even a hint of disdain on his cold face.
"General Zhao, what do you mean by this? Please speak clearly." Mistalov said somewhat unhappy.
"Since Marquis Mistarov has also said that the noble regiment has been reorganized and its combat effectiveness should have been improved, then why can't the Kingdom's Guards Cavalry Regiment participate in this war? Is it because they are worried about losses or are they afraid of another defeat? Don’t the soldiers in Poole unanimously believe that you are the most tenacious and tenacious army? Have you also become an army that cannot afford to be defeated?" The somewhat contemptuous look on Zhao Chenghuai's face became more expressive, and his tone became more stimulating and provocative, A pair of disdainful eyes swept across the faces of the other people like brushes.
