Realm of Power

"Your Majesty, the negotiations between Putao and Gangferen have begun!" Footsteps sounded, and Navy Minister Dostronkai hurriedly walked up the stairs and opened an office door.

The fat man was wearing ordinary clothes and a brown leather hat most commonly worn by businessmen. He turned back from a mirror in the office. A guard was passing a cloak in his hand, and the fat man took it. After fastening his cloak, he seemed to have remembered the Imperial Navy Minister who had come in at this moment, and said with sharp eyes.

"There should be no more than ten people accompanying me this time. I don't want to reveal my identity. You must know that the frustrated Gangfei people, who are feeling the threat posed by the rise of the Falcon Empire, absolutely do not want to attack anyone at this moment. The eagerly eyed Emperor of the Falcon Empire appears so leisurely within his own sphere of influence! "

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. The reconnaissance fleet sent back news yesterday. No sentries were found within ten miles of the landing site. It is a saline-alkali land that is unsuitable for human habitation. There is no Puntao village, even the nearest one. The supply point is also thirty miles away! "

Dustrunkai lowered his head and responded.

"That's good. Is there any possibility of encountering the Gang Fei Navy? I don't want to be accidentally involved." The fat man turned around, adjusted his clothes casually, picked up a comb and combed his short black hair. A few times to make myself look more like a regular general businessman,

"No, even if there are, the eleven Dragon Tooth battleships and two Dragon-class ships deployed nearby are enough to deal with it!"

Dostronkai said with great confidence, "Furthermore, since the heavy damage on Kasili Island, the African Navy has completely withdrawn from that sea area. I have arranged three Dragon Tooth warships to be responsible for the safety of the landing site. Others The warships are cruising in all directions, even if they encounter the Gangfei Navy unexpectedly, we are confident of sinking them! "

"In that case, hurry up!" The fat man nodded and glanced at the port outside the window. Three Dragon Tooth warships were slowly docking in the port. He took one last look at the documents on the table. He looked at his Admiralty Minister again,

This Dustronkai, who travels across the sea and is known as the whale-swallowing seaman, is currently wearing a small leather hat and a store accountant's clothes with a blue background and white edges. The serious white-edge cuffs have a Scale marks. His tall and straight figure of 1.85 meters adds a touch of aristocratic handsomeness to the already feminine appearance of Dostelenko, making him look like an aristocratic little accountant.

Dustronkai was originally a noble, and he was in the Gangfei Empire where the noble elite education was continued. Many declining little nobles who find it hopeless to enter the upper class will choose a decent and lucrative job, and there are not a few people who take shop accountants as a way out. They assist the Duke of Putao in returning to Lisbon. In addition to the needs of the empire's interests, they also Fatty also has his own selfish motives, now that the Burrows family's house arrest area has been determined. It’s Nasida, located in the northeast of Putau, so we can’t wait indefinitely like this.

Winter has entered one-third of the time, and the troops in the southwest region are in a state of half combat and half rest. Everything seems to be calm and quiet, but it is actually the undercurrent of the three great powers. According to the news of Hu Keqili's return, the Gauls A large-scale recruitment of soldiers was carried out across the country, and during the celebration, a main battle corps with a strength of 120,000 was once again transferred back from the eastern battlefield. There is obviously no sincerity in the armistice. Both sides know very well that there are still three months until the cold winter snow stops and the warm ocean currents flow over the southwest region again. The brutal war between the Empire and the Gallic Empire will begin in full force.

The Gauls are making preparations to endure hardships and vow revenge. As for the Falcon Empire, domestic troops are also starting from Wikiia in the south and Rode in the middle. As vassals of the empire, the northern cold land has also sent 10,000 troops. Troops, supplies, personnel, weapons, and even food hoards are converging like rivers into the sea towards the southwest area of ​​the base camp for the attack on Gaul. That is the real main battlefield of the empire. The war with Gangfei is just the beginning of this cold winter. A little warm up,

Fatty didn't want the main force of the empire that had been transferred back to the southwest to fall into desolation during the three-month rest period.

The army staying in Gangfei is conducive to keeping the army in a state of combat readiness at any time. No matter how sharp the sword is, it needs to be wiped frequently to keep it sharp for a long time! If the Ministry of Military Affairs, which was extremely nervous about the Falcon Army stopping its retreat, knew that the Emperor of the Falcon Empire had such shameless thoughts in his heart, he would probably cry in anger!

The empire's rapid progress in the Obaro region is also stimulating the local war fanatics of the Falcon Empire. The two participations of the Dongting Cavalry in the war have made the Dongting people a lot of money. Duo Weiyan of Xikujit This time, he couldn't sit still anymore. The emperor gathered a large number of troops towards Oparo. Even a fool could see that the empire would have an unprecedented battle in Oparo!

Duo Weiyan also requested that the same number of troops as the Dongting people be sent to participate in the war, and said that this was the Falcon Khan's sincerity to balance the East and West, and the choice of general to lead this army was something that Fatty could not refuse. One, Fitun Lanya,

When he saw this name, the fat man's originally calm face immediately became solemn. He had a very good impression of Fetonlanya who had accompanied him to Salander, but this could not conceal Duo Weiyan's request this time. The intention behind sending troops can be seen clearly. After several years, After the period of growth, Duo Weiyan, who was in decline at that time, also began to have some very ambitious ideas. For example, like Princess Dongting, who received strong support from the empire, it was possible for the Duo Wei tribe to truly become a semi-independent force. It even gives a lot of freedom in management!

And everyone knows that the chief princess of the East Court, Ruitang Tingna, is able to receive such care mainly because of her status.

Imperial Princess!

As well as the terrifying power under the command of the princess of the East Court, there is also an imperial princess in the West Court, Scellis,

But it is obvious that she does not have the right to control the army or the right to manage the territory. She is only a princess in name. In terms of power and status, she is not at the same level as the other Princess of the East Court, Ruitang Tingna.

Although Ruitang Tingna is also the princess of Dongting in name, she has a cloud of generals, a rain of warriors, and a terrifying 60,000 cavalry, controlling more than one-third of the grassland of Dongting Grassland. There are also seventeen new cities backed by the empire's borders, with a population of nearly 800,000. Although it does not have the imposing momentum of the previous East Courtyard, it is already a country within a country with its back backed by the empire!

It is impossible to say that Duo Weiyan, the number one force in the West Court, has no ideas. But by blatantly making these similar demands to Fatty, Duo Wei can be sure that it won't be long before the aggressive imperial army will fully suppress the situation. Don't look at Xiting's backing to the empire in recent years, which has restored a certain amount of vitality. It has developed to a certain extent in the past two years, but to say that it can fight against the extremely powerful Falcon King is a joke! His Majesty Falcon is famous for his ruthlessness.

Just look at how the Salander Expeditionary Force, which was foolishly deceived by His Majesty Falcon to work in Normandy, was quickly wiped out by the Falcon Army in the name of the rebels. You will know that the empire will never hold back against rebellious ambitions. The split in East Court is a living example;

Especially the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Border Guards, Bertrand Bonnie, a woman who is extremely beautiful but hates the grassland people. She has always been eyeing all the grassland tribes, and some small tribes who do not know the heights of the sky have robbed the Commander-in-Chief. The trade meeting point was directly massacred by this sister. Its terrifying reputation has reached the point where children in the prairie dare not cry.

Since we can't express it directly, we will adopt another usual method, marriage!

The logic of the grassland people is simple and direct. Duo Weiyan united with more than a dozen tribes to submit a letter, hoping that His Majesty Falcon can add another important princess from the women of the West Court! to achieve a policy-friendly balance,

This is the layout at the national level! What's more, Sceris helped herself block a fatal arrow at the critical moment! Introducing another woman from Xiting without consulting her! Even if the fat man is lustful, he still feels guilty after all, and the most important thing is. One East Courtyard is enough for a fat man to torment, and adding one to the West Courtyard makes it even more difficult for a fat man to survive!

Fatty finally kicked the report back to Mao Monaqing, who was in charge of internal affairs in China, because he knew that according to the relationship between Mao Monaqing and Princess Sceris of Xiting. This report soon reached the hands of Sceris. This kind of matter still needs to be solved by the people of Xiting themselves. As long as Sceris, the princess of Xiting, objects to it, then she will have a reason to reject it. , a report from the Ministry of Supervision said that Princess Scelis looked calm after receiving the report and could not see any fluctuations. The next day, Princess Scelis personally went to Aichemore, the headquarters of the Duowei Ministry,

"The princess left Fetonlanya alone in the room, and she didn't know what they were talking about. An hour later, she saw two women walking out very affectionately." How pitiful! The fat man stared at the report from the Supervision Department with dull eyes for ten full minutes. Instead of joy, he felt desolate.

Miscalculation!

The fat man was in a tangle in his heart. He had forgotten that the thinking of grassland women was different from that of inland women. It was too difficult for these women who were tribe-centered and would do anything for the interests of the tribe to see the word jealousy in them. Well, I have already indulged the Eastern Kingdom of China, do I want to indulge the Western Court of China again? No, this absolutely won’t work! For Ruitang Tingna, a fat man who was jumping up and down and had been "dissatisfied for a long time", he decided to deal with the problem personally.

He was prepared to reject this marriage that might have serious consequences because he was not of royal blood.

The final result is a letter from the person who scares Fatty the most, a lady who claims to be the former Queen of Achemore, which makes Fatty’s face turn green. In the letter, she tactfully expresses that East and West Kugit’s The power is deviating, which is a very dangerous thing for the stability of the grassland. Although they both belong to the empire, according to the grievances between the East and West courts, if ignored, the final result will be another war between the East and West courts! In view of the current situation in the Xiting Grassland, the former Khan King, who likes yin people the most, quickly tore off the gentle image he pretended to have. Instead, he expressed in a tone very like the cheerful temper of a grassland woman that he had decided to announce The entire Xiting recognized Feidun Lanya as the adopted daughter of the royal court. In other words, Feidun Lanya would soon be the princess of the Xiting!

Bastard, this is definitely a planned conspiracy! The letter fell from the fat man's hand. The fat man's eyes were dull, and he seemed to be able to hear the proud laughter of a certain mastermind behind the scenes.

He felt very powerless and was once again crushed by the conspiracy of an unscrupulous woman!

At this moment, the fat man suddenly remembered how close the Duowei family was to the former Queen Aichemore!

It must be said that Duo Weiyan did not seek the consent of the former King Khan of Xiting Grassland, his mother-in-law, and the former Queen Aichemore before making this very cautious report to him. If you tell me that, even a fool won’t believe it! Perhaps this report was someone's instruction. This woman wanted to artificially add a weight to the somewhat skewed scale of the prairie. This was where the fat man felt powerless. In this conspiracy, I jumped into the hands of the conspirator!

Fatty felt that the period of time he could stay in the Putao area was almost reaching the bottom line!

Half deceived and half enticed, he lured the Duke of Putau to Lisbonto, and without any scruples, he also brought 6,000 elite Imperial Central Army soldiers with him, for only one purpose. He planned to go to Nastad quietly, not only because Turrit Colleen was his woman, but also because of the influence of the Burrows family in the entire Central European Barrow.

Fatty feels that he needs the support of this family!

The Empire of Congo and Africa, the entry point into the Central European Barro market, will soon be fully opened after this negotiation, and it will enter Congo and Africa from General Tao. The grand trade line that spreads from Congo and Africa to the entire Central European Barrow has been very clearly unfolded in front of Fatty. This will be another big jump in the empire's trade. Under such an environment, Barrow, which has close ties with the Central European Barrow countries, The Ross family undoubtedly plays an important role as a stepping stone.

If possible. Fatty is even planning how to bring this powerful family onto the empire's trade chariot as the empire's spokesperson in Central Europe.

Before that, Fatty also needs a guy who is dazzling enough to attract all the attention of Gangfei people. The best candidate who can gather all the attention of Gangfei people is naturally negotiating in Lisbon. None other than the Duke of Putao;

The outcome of this negotiation has been determined. The Duke of Putao will gradually show a compromising attitude, which is enough to tempt the Congolese people to be eager to end the war, and naturally they will not have the energy to pay attention to the distant Nasta region.

Under his own secret orders, Lidakus, who led the Lisbonto defense battle, would also try his best to delay the negotiation for a long enough time. During this period, for him who quietly went to the Nasda area, . It’s a very appropriate safe time,

"Your Majesty, the fleet has arrived at the port and is waiting for orders." The guard's voice came from outside the door.

"Well, I got it!"

The fat man replied, looking away from Dostelenko's tall and upright figure, and then glanced at his honest image in the mirror, curling the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's really hurtful to stand with this guy." . This guy is a natural dresser!"

Northeast Sea of ​​Putao Principality, Angel Sea Cliff

"Pa" huge waves hit the solid cliff with impact, like a crazy long white snake, suddenly turning into countless crystal clear glasses. The Angel Sea Cliff is a saline-alkali area in the northeast of the Principality of Putao. , white salt-alkali fields are scattered all over the country Behind the sea cliff, there are no plants growing around, and there is no vegetation on the ground. There is only a dazzling white sheen. Due to the lack of vegetation coverage, the wind direction here is very strong, and the windy and rough sea surface looks like there is some beast below all year round. scroll,

Except for winter, the waves in this sea area are very big in other seasons.

Although there are many small islands around here, they can't stop the roar of the waves at all. Large swaths of waves were surging and rolling, mercilessly rushing from the sea to the cliff. The waves here are more than one meter high when they are at their gentlest, and more than seven meters when they are most violent. The average wave height is more than three meters.

"Papa"

The surging waves continue to hit the wave embankment line of the cliff. The wave head is basically more than two meters, sometimes even four meters, and even more than five meters in the most severe cases. The rocks on the edge are directly hit by the waves. Covered, when the waves break, it feels like a reef suddenly emerges from the water. Some of the rocks that were originally standing upright were already crumbling under the impact of the waves. At this time, they fell suddenly, making a huge sound when the waves hit them, which can shock people's hearts.

The side of the battleship quickly passed through the unusually calm sea, creating a circle of white waves. The waves hit a rock not far away from the sea, splashing waves and making a huge roar at the same time. Anyone familiar with this place will know I feel a little frightened, especially today I seem to feel something. The waves are particularly fierce. Since the morning, the weather has changed. Although the sun is still shining, strong winds are blowing on the sea, with the average wind force exceeding level 7. ,

The wind drove the sea water, forming huge turbulent waves. The cold sea water wet the fat man's hair. Under the fat man's sight, an Imperial Navy reconnaissance ship was speeding from the opposite direction. Dustelenko came up from behind. , reported to the fat man standing at the bow of the ship, "Your Majesty, please go back to the warehouse and pass the cliff in front, which is our landing point! Because there is no port, the landing ships can wait until the tide rises and wash up on the beach, and then Return with the tide"

I was so tired that I fell asleep several times while writing. . . . . . .
