Claude took the two falcon letters handed over by General Albert. He first looked at the dates marked at the bottom and found that they were still sent by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Marquis Blancart, and from the secret agent lurking in the royal capital. The reporting times are consistent. They are all on the same day, but there is a sequence. The news reported by the spies lurking in the royal capital arrived at noon, but the falcon message from the prime minister of the kingdom was received only at night...
Even though the two falcon letters arrived on the same day, one can tell a lot of information from them. The falcon message sent by the Prime Minister clearly shows that this is the first time the Prime Minister knew that Her Majesty the Queen sent people to attack the offices of the overseas dominions in the royal capital and arrested all the parliamentary representatives and promoted officers. The remedial measure after the bad incident of transporting away the 30 million gold crowns was to first send this falcon message to the Rock Legion and the Thunder Legion to stabilize the main battle legions of these two autonomous military regions.
The Prime Minister said in the Falcon Message that Her Majesty the Queen was worried about the security of the huge amount of 30 million gold crowns in the Royal Capital Office, so she communicated the funds to everyone including the parliamentarians and representatives of the overseas autonomous territories and the promoted officers overnight. Everyone will be transferred to the palace first. Please don't worry. His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen absolutely do not have any ill intentions...
Looking back at the Falcon Letter sent by His Majesty the King one day late, King Frederic I said in the letter that it was because the four representatives of the overseas dominions had unauthorizedly exposed the huge amount of 30 million gold crowns in front of the palace. In the square, there were so many onlookers that the news spread throughout the royal capital in less than one afternoon.
As a result, many criminals in the Royal Capital have begun to gather ideas for the huge amount of 30 million gold crowns, and Her Majesty the Queen received conclusive evidence that an attack on the Royal Capital office would occur that night. In order to protect the personal safety of overseas dominion councilors and promoted officers in the royal capital office and the safety of the 30 million gold crowns, Her Majesty the Queen sent palace guards overnight to bring everyone and the funds to the palace. middle... ...
Claude raised the two falcon letters in his hand and asked General Albert and others: "Do you believe the rhetoric in these two letters?"
General Albert hesitated and said: "In addition to the intense anger after receiving the reports from the spies, and the remaining parliamentarians asking us to march to the royal capital to rescue Marshal Bolognik and others, after receiving these two falcon letters, everyone Opinions began to be somewhat inconsistent again. Many people believed that the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King signed these two falcon letters, indicating that this incident did not seem to be as bad as everyone imagined. Otherwise, the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King would not He specially explained it to us, and we should wait and see what happens..."
Claude shook his head in disappointment. No wonder General Bolognik commented that General Albert was just a brave general and could not be a wise coach. If no one makes the decision for him, he will hesitate at critical moments and miss the best opportunity.
"What does General Bichiklin from the Royal City of Polyvisia think?" Claude asked.
General Albert replied: "General Albert has ordered the two divisions of the Rock Army to prepare for the expedition, but they are infantry armies and cannot be used immediately..."
Claude then threw the two Falcon letters in his hand on the table: "These two letters are lies. Their purpose is just to stabilize us and prevent us from sending out troops to march to the royal capital, so as not to trigger the worst The result. You shouldn't wait these three days, Allen. You should send troops as soon as possible after receiving the news from the spy. This way, the news will be more shocking when it reaches the capital...
If it is really a misunderstanding as what the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King said in the letter, then you should realize that the person who sent us this falcon message should not be the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King, but our Bennett. No matter how you look at it, it is not the speaker's turn or Marshal Bolognik's turn to issue a signed falcon letter to explain the so-called truth.
Therefore, these two falcon letters sent by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom and His Majesty the King exactly prove that the truth of the matter is the report sent by our spies lurking in the Royal Capital. It should be Queen Christie who covets our overseas autonomous territory. With a huge fortune of 30 million gold crowns, the palace guards were dispatched to arrest and rob someone in spite of the public disapproval. This incident is very bad!
And our respected Prime Minister of the Kingdom and His Majesty the King are both wiping the butt of our Queen Christie, and they are still sane and have not lost their heads. It's just that these days have passed, and we still haven't received any personal letters or explanations from Speaker Bennett, President Hindman, Marshal Bolognik, General Skerry and others, which means there must be something wrong... .
Therefore, there is no need to wait any longer. If we delay longer, the situation for our councilors and promoted officers who were arrested in the royal capital may be even more dangerous. Perhaps the big shots in the royal capital think that we dare not act rashly and have already given up on Marshal Bolognik and Speaker Bennett. They are hoping to take this opportunity to divide our unity and force the captured MPs to submit, so as to get the three-dollar sum. Funds of tens of millions of gold crowns..."
Claude stood up: "I order..."
All officers and soldiers in the legion headquarters stood at attention, including General Albert.
"Send a falcon message to General Beach Kerin, asking him to dispatch a division to occupy the Odin Mountains, Amys City, and the route to the Royal City of Polyvisia, strengthen the vigilance, improve combat readiness, and collect various Equip military supplies and prepare for war!"
"Yes!" The communications staff officer of the own army headquarters took the order he had just jotted down and rewrote a formal order document. He gave it to Claude for signature and seal, and then ran to the communications office and conveyed the order to him through the falcon. General Beechklin of the Rock Legion.
"Order, the Thunder Legion's 2nd Division, 3rd Division, and 4th Division prepare for attack all night, and set out for the Royal Capital at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. This time, the 4th Division will be the vanguard. Allen, you go to the 4th Division to take charge. If there is anyone blocking the road, no matter who it is, they will be annihilated!"
From the Karnas region to the kingdom proper, one needs to pass through the fiefdoms of more than a dozen territorial nobles in the Nasseri region. This is a hereditary family territory that has just been granted by His Majesty the King. Claude hopes to take action against a few indifferent territorial nobles, relying on the so-called legal rights of their hereditary family territory to refuse the Thunder Legion's passage. Claude will use sabers and gallows to make these lords understand that in the face of powerful force, hereditary family territory is nothing! The guarantee of the king's territory is of no use...
The reason why the Fourth Division was used as the vanguard was because the officers and soldiers of this division originally belonged to the command of Prince Hansback. Although Frederick I is now on the throne, the prince's original subordinates are still rebellious. Didn't get pardon. It didn't matter that the Dominion Military District took in these defeated soldiers and formed the Thunder Fourth Division. Use them as vanguards, even if they are intercepted by the kingdom's three major legions, and when orders are issued, these soldiers of the fourth division will not show mercy...
"In addition, send a falcon message to the Kingdom's Army Department in the Royal Capital, saying that for the safety of the 30 million gold crowns belonging to the overseas autonomous territories and the personal safety of the congressmen and officers who went to the Royal Capital, the Thunder Legion will Send three divisions to the royal capital to transport funds and protect representatives returning to overseas autonomous territories. In order to avoid conflicts, we hereby notify you!
Also, if any army or armed force blocks the way forward of the legion, it will be regarded as a provocation and declaration of war against the Dominion Military Region! The Thunder Legion will launch an attack after warning, eliminate them without mercy and hold those behind them accountable. Those who conspire to provoke war will have their entire families destroyed! "
Claude signed and sealed the order document, and told the communications staff: "After sending this letter to the Kingdom's Army Department, it will be made into a notice and forwarded to all regions of the Kingdom, so that all people will know what our Thunder Legion is for. He just sent troops to the royal capital."
"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!" The communications staff officer stood at attention and saluted and was about to leave when Claude stopped him again.
"Wait a minute, in addition to the announcements in various regions of the kingdom, write down the entire incident and send it to them. Don't forget to vigorously publicize it in the various units of our Thunder Legion and Rock Legion to tell our soldiers that we are for Why are we going to the Royal Capital? To rescue the council members of the Dominion and our military colleagues who were innocently arrested, and to protect the property of our Dominion from any infringement!"
"Yes, Marshal, we understand!"
Soon the senior officers in the office dispersed to deal with their own affairs. The three divisions were leaving tomorrow morning. There were many things to be done, and many people had to work all night long. Claude could finally calm down and take a rest. While he was quietly tasting the fruit wine, he was thinking about what would happen to the Royal Capital after learning that the three divisions of the Thunder Legion were marching towards the Royal Capital and the Rock Legion had changed. In response, will there really be a war with the kingdom this time
Not long after, General Albert returned to the office, and it seemed that he should have finished issuing the order. He closed the door, poured himself a glass of fruit wine, and then asked with some confusion: "Claude, you just said that if the time is delayed longer, it will be more dangerous for those who are captured, and it will even split our unity. , is it possible for Wangdu to get the 30 million gold crowns? Isn’t it possible that Wangdu is afraid of falling out with us? "
Claude could only sigh and asked the politically insensitive General Albert: "If I were the king or the prime minister, you know what I would do to wipe the butt of the reckless and greedy Queen Christie. , solve this incident of arresting our congressmen and officers’ representatives in the royal capital office, and transporting away this huge amount of 30 million gold crowns?”
General Albert shook his head in confusion: "I don't know, but the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King sent these two falcon letters one after another, which means that the misunderstanding will be explained soon, our people will be released, and the funds will be released." It will also be returned..."
Claude smiled bitterly: "This is what they want you to do now. Believe in their promise and stay put here. Give them more time so that they can divide and disintegrate our unity. In the end, our overseas autonomous territories will eat a lot." Unfortunately, they were in a mess and full of conflicts. But they got the 30 million gold crowns, and then watched the fun from the sidelines, occasionally pretending to be good people, supporting this and that, and watching the collapse of the entire overseas autonomous territory... "
"I don't believe it," said General Albert. "There's no way they can do this!"
"It is indeed impossible in a short time," Claude nodded: "But if we believe the words in these two letters sent by the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King, and hesitate to send troops for ten and a half months, Then what I just said is very likely to become reality.
You know, Allen, all five of our military personnel have obtained the title of hereditary noble of the kingdom, so we can get a hereditary family territory without paying any promotion fee. But for the sake of the unity of the entire Dominion, the five of us have unanimously agreed to stand together with the MPs of the Dominion, the promoted officers, and the honorary nobles of the Kingdom. If they cannot get the territory, we will voluntarily give up this hereditary piece of land that belongs to us. Is this family territory? "
"Yes," General Albert replied: "This is what we promised..."
"But until now, you should be clear about the information coming from the royal capital. His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister are not allowed to give us discounts and benefits at all. They have made it clear that they want to plunder a fortune from our overseas autonomous territories. ." Claude poured the last bit of fruit wine in the bottle into his cup:
"President Hindman has calculated that in order to obtain the coastal areas of the Beibu Gulf as the hereditary family territory of all the owners of our overseas autonomous territories according to our plan, His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister have paid nearly 100 million yuan for this purpose. The sky-high Crown promotion fee and land selection fee are costs that our Dominion cannot afford, so we decided to give up.
But after abandoning the former Marshal Bologna, they deliberately displayed the huge wealth of 30 million gold crowns in the small square in front of the palace, refuting the lie that our overseas autonomous territories have no money. We showed our wealth, but at the same time, we suffered disaster for our congressmen and promoted officers who went to the royal capital.
We believe that His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister will be very wise. For the sake of the two extraordinary combat corps in our autonomous region, they will not act rudely to the parliamentarians and promoted officers who went to the royal capital, triggering a new war. war. We believe that His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister can control their own desires, as well as other royal ministers, and will not pose a threat to our people.
But we forget that there is another Queen, Her Majesty, who has been married to the King for several years and has a son. At that time, His Majesty the King had not yet ascended the throne and was just an unknown prince. It was Queen Christie's strong push behind the scenes, coupled with her family's huge influence in the Guards Corps, that finally led to the Guards Corps launching a mutiny and allowing our King to successfully ascend the throne.
Therefore, His Majesty the King has a very good relationship with Queen Christie and tolerates the Queen's sometimes misbehaving. We forget that the reputation of this queen has not always been very good among the people and officials of the kingdom. Some people even described the queen as a giant dragon wearing human skin. Greedy for money, arrogant, fond of enjoyment and flattery, like the legendary dragon, he likes to collect property for himself.
Queen Christie will not care about the combat power of the two legions of our Dominion Military District. She may think that we dare not take any offense to what she does, just because she is the queen. To her, our behavior is a rebellion against the kingdom. The kingdom can even gather troops to destroy us. As for how many people have to be sacrificed for these 30 million gold crowns, she doesn't care at all...
It is the tragedy of our Majesty the King and the Prime Minister to wipe the butt of such a queen. They are well aware of the combat capabilities of our two legions, and they also understand that the current situation in the Kingdom relies on the two legions of our autonomous military region. So how to solve this bad incident without giving our two legions an excuse to fall out? They have only one choice.
That is to stabilize our two legions, buy them more time, and at the same time coerce and induce the arrested MPs and promotion officers. As long as most of them are willing to pay promotion fees and site selection fees, then it is completely fine. Deducting the corresponding expenses from this fund of 30 million gold crowns, some of the parliamentarians and promoted officers will first obtain hereditary family territory.
This is the best solution to this incident, which is to turn the incident into a conflict between our own members of the overseas autonomous territories and the officers. Some people spent all the 30 million gold crowns to obtain hereditary family territory for them. What should the remaining members of parliament and promoted officers who did not get the territory, as well as the honorary nobles who did not go to the royal capital, do
That is no longer the responsibility of His Majesty the King, His Majesty the Queen and the Prime Minister. They were just worried about the safety of our MPs and promoted officers in the Royal Capital and the 30 million gold crowns, so they deliberately moved everyone to the palace. Maybe something went wrong during this period, and the servants misunderstood and transferred everyone to a prison or something, but the situation quickly changed, and His Majesty the King could even sincerely apologize for this...
As for the huge sum of 30 million gold crowns, you people in the overseas dominions have already spent all of it. Really, you see, these are the signatures and seals of your own people. They used the expenditure of this fund to pay the promotion fee and land selection fee for themselves, and obtained the hereditary family territory granted by the king. Everything is fair and reasonable in accordance with the provisions of the granting order.
And His Majesty the King granted them the territory you selected along the coast of the Beibu Gulf in the Karnas region according to their respective choices. There was no deception or concealment. It was their voluntary choice. Therefore, the Dominion members, promoted officers and honorary nobles who have not obtained the territory can only blame you, those who have obtained the territory, and cannot blame the king. "
General Albert was stunned: "Is this possible?"
"Of course it's possible, this is the most likely scenario!" Claude said: "As long as ten and a half months, some of the arrested representatives will not be able to endure the suffering or even survive some special measures. As long as dozens of people surrender, Our unity will become a joke in their eyes. Those thirty million gold crowns will become the pockets of our Majesty the King and the Queen.
Therefore, we must approach the royal capital as soon as possible. Allen, go and send a Falcon letter to the royal capital and tell them that without the co-signatures of the five people in our Dominion Military District, no representative or individual of the Dominion Council has the right to use the 30 million gold crowns. I hope that when I arrive in the royal capital, I can see the complete funds without being used by anyone..."
