Realm of Power

Northwest Coast, Xinhai City

The huge port presents an emotional scene of sea and sky in the rain. At the end of April, representing the last scenery of spring, it is also shrouded in the drizzle of early summer. In Xinhai City, more and more merchant ships are docked, and the wind comes with The waves are constantly hitting the side of the merchant ship. On the slightly swaying deck, porters are lifting boxes of wooden boxes. Everyone can feel the violent power of nature. //Visit to download the txt novel //The light of lightning flashes across the sky from time to time, and there are bursts of dull thunder, and the sound of huge waves crashing from the port can be vaguely heard.

The fat man walked into the office with a serious look on his face. Duo Ze was sweating profusely in the office.

"What's going on? Have you counted the number of people?"

The fat man sat down on the chair opposite Duo Zai. The sudden heavy rain caused a lot of trouble. In a wilderness area like the northwest coast, there was a lack of vegetation and the terrain showed a natural slope. He was caught off guard by this heavy rain. Sometimes, , natural disasters are more confusing than war,

Fatty also just received information from Duozei. Due to the lack of understanding of the terrain before, the protective measures in some areas were not enough, especially in new immigrant areas. Many new immigrants did not have enough protective awareness. A large-scale The mudslides hit the entire northwest coast,

"There are too many, lack of tools for mining, and limited manpower, it is impossible to count!"

Duo Ze picked up the report on the table and shook his head with a wry smile. He lowered his head in annoyance. He had devoted so much effort on the northwest coast and watched step by step as the remote coastal area transformed from a sparsely populated area into a sparsely populated area. Now we are sitting in an area with a population of nearly one million and many towns, where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. However, this rain has hit the newly emerging northwest coast hard.

"Unable to count?" The fat man frowned slightly and knitted his eyebrows together. It seemed that the situation was more serious than expected.

"Yes. My subordinates visited several disaster sites a few days ago, and they can only be described as horrific!" Duoze glanced at the other reports on the table with a gloomy face, and reported the disaster situation in a solemn voice. He lowered his head. Said: "This disaster happened so suddenly. My subordinates were completely unprepared, and the impact was huge. There were 73 similar reports on my desk alone. Without tools and insufficient manpower, my subordinates could not prepare for the disaster." Digging out the body under the mud and stone in a short time, dead The number of casualties cannot be counted. The areas affected by this natural disaster are all over the northwest coast. Most of the disaster-stricken areas that I have seen are villages built under italic hills. During heavy rains, mud and sand fell on the slopes or mud above the houses. , mixed The huge debris flow of debris, like a torrent, wiped out the unblocked villages and towns below overnight. In the largest case, half of the city was washed away, and more than 13,000 people have disappeared! A city of dirt!"

"Thirteen thousand people were buried at once!"

The fat man couldn't sit still this time and stood up from his seat. What a human being! Thirteen thousand people are equivalent to the population of a city on the northwest coast. It really hurts. The corners of Fatty's mouth were slightly bitter, and his eyes were looking at the rain that was still falling outside. I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart, "Sure enough, God's calculations are not as good as those of man." He had spent so much effort to make the northwest coast present such a prosperous scene, and started a bet with blood as the stakes. to solve the plight of the Southwest,

Originally, we were planning to wait until the army arrived in May. With the absolute military power in hand, completely integrate the power of the northwest and let the northwest, not the northwest coast. It has completely become the wheel that can make the empire move forward. Who knows, but it was hit by this unknown heavy rain. It was still the fault of the weak foundation. Fortunately for Fat Man, the damage caused by these mudslides did not affect the army too much. , otherwise I will lose all my money.

"The Governor's Mansion needs to deploy manpower that can participate in disaster relief, but disasters are happening everywhere!" Duo Zai carefully looked at the silent but heavy-faced fat man, and said slowly with some hesitation.

"The only one that still has enough labor force on the northwest coast is the army, so..."

"Are you mobilizing the army at this time?" The fat man's eyes flashed with a cold light. Duo Ze also shrank his head in fright, and quickly explained, "My subordinates also know that this request is really inappropriate. The southwest is eyeing it, and there is a possibility of declaring war at any time." , the northwest seems to be stable, but Denia, Rosende and other forces are still independent and unaffected. In the area, it is really unreasonable to mobilize elite troops to break away from the defense line and come back for disaster relief at this time. However, looking at the more than 100,000 living beings on the northwest coast who are in urgent need of rescue, Duozhi can only rely on his old age and lick his old face to plead with His Majesty. Duozhi I don’t understand military affairs, but I also know that your Majesty has high hopes.

"Okay, needless to say, I will order the army to participate in the rescue!"

The fat man raised his hand to interrupt Duo Ze's words. He walked to the desk and wrote down a new order, then handed it to Duo Ze. He said with relief, "It doesn't matter. It's just a delay at most. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't dare, this is the responsibility of my subordinates!"

Duo Ze's excited eyes flashed, and he took the order from the fat man with trembling hands. He almost knelt down without being moved. He didn't expect that the fat man would agree to this seemingly extremely rude request so easily. In this era, the life and death of civilians I have never caught the eyes of the monarch, that is, I am soft-hearted, so I would ask His Majesty Falcon to send out troops for such a thing. You must know that the economic ability of the Falcon of Vecia is recognized in Ikadiva.

A remote country in the southwest has become the richest man in the mainland within a few years, not to mention military capabilities. The name of the continent's Army God and the record of being undefeated in a hundred battles are forged by the resentment and blood of many famous generals, and they still have none until now. No one has broken it, and most Ikadiva people don’t think this record will be broken in the future. His Majesty Falcon is already His Majesty, and the opportunities to actually command battles are becoming less and less. Whether he can win or not is one thing, no Chances are you will win, and that’s what’s most distressing.

But it is nonsense to say that His Majesty the Falcon is a compassionate and merciful monarch. The army is rampant, killing millions, and destroying the city countless times. The order to massacre the city was also issued. Under the bloody Falcon banner, there are piles of corpses. When is it linked to mercy and mercy?

It's a pity that Duo Ze didn't know that his move was completely meaningless and sent troops to provide disaster relief. For a modern person like Fatty, this is really normal, so Duoche could not figure out the real reason.

Standing at the window, looking at the city in the continuous rain outside, with red walls and blue roofs, layer upon layer. The sound of a bell chiming in the distance came through the rain curtain. The fat man took a deep breath of the air-conditioning outside the window.

"I'm afraid this rain will never stop, even in May. In June, the weather will start to get hotter, and marching operations will always have some burdens. If it is delayed until July, the harvest season seems to be quite good. There's money to be made!" The fat man thought about the many benefits he had gained in Bangor last time, and murmured to himself, "Just let the army starve for two months, so that they can be released to bite them to death! "The fat man smiled with a hint of amusement, turned around from the window,

Seeing Duo Ze staring at him with a melancholy look on his face, the fat man's face immediately turned green. No matter how he looked at it, Duo Ze's eyes gave him a very treacherous feeling. The fat man couldn't help but asked angrily, "Is there anything else?"

"No... not anymore. I will take care of it immediately." Duoze was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He quickly took the order and left in a cold sweat. Damn it, the thoughts that can be guessed are still the thoughts of the Vekia Falcon!

Ten minutes after Duozhi left, there was a knock on the door that made Fatty feel familiar.

"Come in! Hu Keqili" The fat man did not look back. From the habit of knocking on the door, he also knew who was coming. There were only a few people who could knock on the door without being reported by the guards. Because Duo Ze is old and thin, he always looks a little weak when knocking on the door. Hu Keqili is a swordsman and has great strength in his wrist. Knocking on the door is the most rhythmic, like swinging a sword. Salon Needless to say, a fox is nothing more than that.

Be careful when knocking on the door. If there is no knocking sound in the room for the first time, the guy will definitely stand at the door for an hour, and then knock a second time, and so on. The longest time, the guy will stand at the door. The door was knocked 8 times for 7 hours. That time, the fat man was drunk.

Sure enough, Hu Keqi, wearing a regiment commander's uniform, pushed open the door and walked in, holding a report in his hand. He stood at attention at the door and reported in a serious voice, "Your Majesty, we have just received news from the Baston area. We have three people." .

"Is it a mudslide?" The fat man turned around from the window with a stern expression before he finished speaking. It seemed that he was still unavoidable. Now he could only pray that the loss would not be too great.

"Yes, 123 people have been counted missing! 243 people were injured." Hu Keqili was a little surprised, but still nodded with a serious face and said hesitantly, "My subordinates are a little worried. It is said that many places have encountered mudslides, and There is only one report from the military! I heard that the military camp in Ohacha also suffered a similar situation. The losses were not large, but there were more than 20 casualties! Some military camps with small losses should have concealed the casualties. Otherwise, the total number should be more than a thousand! "

"Natural disasters are not terrible, what I am afraid of is **! You are fully responsible for this matter, and I will let the Supervision Department cooperate with you." A trace of anger flashed across the fat man's face, he punched the table, and said angrily, "The military is different from the civilian population. Because they did not die on the battlefield, these soldiers did not even have a share of There is no proper post-mortem treatment, and all the soldiers are watching. The situation that causes the morale of the army to be shaken due to concealment and failure to report must not happen in our Falcon Army, regardless of military rank, from the regiment commander to the flag regiment commander! , the squadron leader checked everything!"

"But if it involves the level of a legion commander, my subordinates are afraid..." Hu Keqili hesitated a little. He could hear that His Majesty Falcon's words contained bone-chilling murderous intent. This is more serious, Long. Yan was furious and his head was rolling. As the general of the central army, he was able to suppress the officers of other armies.

But for Saron, who is also the commander of the legion, it is very difficult. No one can guarantee that this matter can be so peaceful.

"Don't worry, that guy is not that stupid! He will not participate in such a thing that has no benefit at all." The fat man chuckled, obviously knowing what Hu Keqili was worried about.

"However, I am still worried. After all, Lord Salon's legion does not have a commanding relationship with me. If Lord Salon looks at me like this, my subordinates will treat my colleagues in Salon's legion very badly..." Hu Keqili looked like he was hesitant to speak, and looked at the fat man with pitiful eyes.

Salon's habit of protecting his own shortcomings is very famous among the Falcon Army, because Salon himself has the temperament to fight bravely in all three armies. He is a arrogant and fierce general. It is a perfect metaphor for Salon and his generals, not to mention the entire Salon Army. Most of the generals came from the Northern Army in the Samor era. They were the three direct descendants of His Majesty the Falcon. They were no less powerful than the Central Army, and their combat power was quite strong. He is brave and unafraid of death. Otherwise, how could he have slapped his head and followed Salon with 30,000 men against Ruidian's 100,000 elite northern troops in the Samor era? A unit that made Rui Erdian's army extremely troublesome,

"You pass an order to Salon and say that I invite him to come to my place to discuss military affairs for a few days! That guy will never dare not to come!" The fat man raised his hand and waved it impatiently, and said decisively, "You go first." Check the garrisons in various places. Then check the Salon Army! Finally, the Northern Border Guards. I know the military discipline is a bit chaotic recently. No matter what you do, if you don't get more than ten heads to scare the whole army, don't come back. Me!"

"Yes, I understand!" Hu Keqili nodded respectfully. Ten heads, naturally they cannot belong to soldiers. The minimum level must be squadron leader level. This storm in the army is no less than the rain in front of us. This rain is not only flowing with mudslides, but also human blood!

The rain outside the window continued to ravage Xinhai City, and the wind howled. It was raining heavily, and in the spacious and bright conference room, the large military map on the wall was pulled open, and the young adjutant was introducing the situation in the entire southwest.

In the conference room, Fatty looked indifferent. Salon, who had just arrived, didn't understand the situation at all and could only open his eyes wide. Staring at the position of the adjutant's finger, this young adjutant was around twenty-five years old. Similar to the natural disasters encountered in the northwest, the southwest was also affected by the high rain. As the door to the southwest opened, a large number of caravans Going south, information that was originally closed came back continuously.

"Murphy's Dragon Armored Cavalry No. 22 is close to Pudua Fort on the border of Congo and Africa. According to intelligence, the Congo-Africa army has completely abandoned the previously occupied area and is fully shrinking its defense line...!" The young adjutant said with a command Stick pointed at military map. Pointing out the locations one by one, when the young adjutant mentioned that the Southwest Army had taken back another occupied area, Salon finally couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, does the Southwest Army's war have anything to do with us?"

"If I said, no, would you believe it?" The fat man sat on the seat and curled his lips indifferently. His tone was so light that it was completely unfathomable. He brought Salon here just to let Hu Keqili go. During this period, the Falcon Army was victorious. Both the navy and the army achieved glorious victories. Especially in the Southwest Bet Battle, the Northwest Army became famous. With 21 The exchange of light cavalry for Southwest's 150 Murphy Dragon Armored Heavy Cavalry has become a topic of conversation after dinner. Invisibly, the arrogance in each army has a tendency to rise. Take the mudslide as an example, if there is no Thunder To intimidate the whole army, the number of dead may not be as many as a hedge when the two armies confront each other, but the influence on the morale of the army is enough to have a fatal destabilizing effect.

Fatty knew very well that his Falcon Army was invincible and could conquer the entire Ikadiva in just a few years, not only because of its sophisticated weapons, but also because of its generous military rewards and high welfare after death. of,

Because he knows that even if he dies in battle, his family will not be treated badly, so even an ordinary Falcon soldier will fight to the death and never back down. However, the mudslide incident undoubtedly touched this bottom line.

The dead soldiers cannot be registered because they did not die in battle, and naturally they cannot receive the treatment they deserve. If one person dies, thousands of people will see it. This situation will seriously affect the loyalty of countless other soldiers to the empire.

Once they encounter a deadly battle, who will believe the empire's promise that even if they die in battle, they will get the benefits they deserve. These soldiers are the most elite soldiers in the empire. Their wavering will directly affect the combat power of the entire empire.

As for how far this storm will shake, Fatty is not very worried.

Hu Keqili is a smart man. Since he said in advance that Salon will have nothing to do with this matter, I believe that Salon’s name will never appear in Hu Keqili’s report. As for the flag commander, if If someone does intervene, then just wish yourself luck! One or two white stars on the head of a flag regiment commander can intimidate the entire army more than ten white stars on the heads of middle- and lower-level officers. Military law is ruthless, and you can't blame others if you really bump into it.

"Believe it, as long as it is said by His Majesty, all my subordinates will believe it!"

Salon shrank his head in fright. According to his understanding with His Majesty Falcon, the more light-headed and ineffective it is, the more it means that the master is angry inside. Isn't it the southwest? His Majesty said that there is night 365 days a year. , does it have anything to do with yourself?

"People have died recently, have you heard?" The fat man glanced at Salon with a stern look, which made Salon even more sweaty on his forehead. His mind was spinning wildly, someone died? His Majesty Falcon's words are big or small. I really can't figure it out.

Just when the fat man was about to add a few more words, a guard captain nervously opened the door of the conference room and handed an urgent piece of information to the fat man.

The fat man took a look, and the hand holding the report seemed to be burned by fire, and he immediately stopped smiling.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty!" Saron, who noticed something was wrong, stood up quickly.

"The Dongting people are coming!" The fat man took a deep breath, as if he had swallowed a hard-to-swallow date, and said word by word, "Just received a report from the northern border that a 5,000-man grassland cavalry unit appeared 50 miles away from the long wall!"
