Realm of Power

The short-haired middle-aged man is the Falcon Empire's foreign affairs officer in the Kingdom of Congo. His name is Karasted. He is a general from the Imperial Supervision Department and the person in charge of the Fourth Branch of the Supervision Department. He is bold and careful. Although he is a civilian, he is There is an all-metal black knife holder on his desk all year round. , above the knife seat is a long arc-shaped imperial sword, the scabbard is simple and unpretentious, and the end of the handle is a golden hanging wire. It can be seen that it is an embellishment added later on the cracked steel handle. If If you think it’s just to make people ignore the crack on the handle, you’d be totally wrong.

Where the golden hilt is connected by the hanging thread, a diamond-shaped steel brand is clearly visible. The "Samor Guards Sword" is not a decoration, nor is it a reward for use. Blood stains can also be seen between the cracks in the hilt, proving that this It was an early empire weapon that had actually been on the battlefield and killed many people. The most feared saber of the Samor Guards. Any imperial warrior who sees this sword will be in awe. Who is the owner of this sword? This is what many imperial generals want if they talk about their seniority in the military. Shame on you, this is a saber that only a true captain of the Samor Guards in the early days could have! Even the unruly emperor would restrain himself in front of this Samor saber.

"Sir, are you really the captain of the Samor Guards?" A subordinate once carefully asked a middle-aged civilian with short hair who was holding a pile of documents in his hands and would gasp after taking a few steps.

"It's a fake, it's just a copy! It was specially approved by His Majesty!" Karasted said with a nonchalant smile, "As the fourth person in charge of the Imperial Supervision Department, his full job is to supervise the military discipline and offending matters in the army. The Imperial General Like clouds, there are so many arrogant soldiers in the front-line legion. The emperor's people are never short of sex. They kill people as if they are eating home-cooked food. There is no treasure that can shake up the house. I am a poor civil servant. They knocked off the roof!"

"But my lord.?.What's with the blood on the crack in the knife handle?"

The adjutant's thick arms took the document, and the document that weighed down Karasid's panting weighed more than ten kilograms, but in the hands of this 1.8-meter-tall, burly, bear-like adjutant, it was as light as A piece of paper has no weight at all. This makes Kalasd very envious. Young people are good.

"Red paint, you know. I'm pretty good at it, right?" Karasted smiled proudly, and the majestic adjutant showed a hint of surprise.

The adjutant is an officer who has just been promoted from the Imperial Central Army. He is the real ace sharp squadron leader of the main army. He can sleep in a mountain of corpses and bathe in a sea of ​​blood. This time he was transferred to the most mysterious supervision department within the Ministry of Military Affairs. In the fourth branch, the adjutant couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful about his new boss, the fourth branch of the Supervision Department. That was the department that made the imperial officials change their minds when they heard about it. As for Kalirasd, who was in charge of the fourth branch, he was called the "General Terminator" by the people inside the Ministry of Military Affairs, which meant that even if the imperial general entered Enter the dark prison in the Fourth Department of the Supervision Department. It’s also hard to find a few people who are stable.

With the name of the Fourth Branch of the Supervision Department out of the way, except for a few big guys with real power, no one can really walk sideways in the Imperial Regiment and no one dares to stop it. However, the person in charge of the fourth branch, Karasted, had a gentle appearance. He was holding documents in his hand and looked like an imposing middle-aged nobleman. It really made the young female adjutants in the Ministry of Military Affairs keep flying eyes.

Although they are all under the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs, everyone inside the Ministry of Military Affairs knows that the Fourth Division of the Ministry of Supervision is only in name in the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Ministry of Supervision is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor. It is the real "private organization" of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is stationed as a full-time The fourth branch of the Ministry of Military Affairs has the authority to monitor the entire military. Ji's huge power, who can take on such an important task, is the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, the minions of the minions, the kind that can bite people when released, and may also be released by His Majesty the Emperor at any time to become the core area of ​​the empire. The person in charge, the real potential stock!

Gangfei was reduced from an empire to a kingdom. In order to monitor this unstable factor, the fat man personally called out the names and asked Karasid to settle in the Kingdom of Gangfei as a foreign affairs officer. This was partly to monitor the changes in the domestic affairs of Gangfei and partly to establish an empire in the Kingdom of Gangfei. intelligence network, as for the personnel and materials needed, the empire fully supports it.

The people of Gangfei are clearly leaning towards the coalition camp, but they still have to put on a neutral appearance. After experiencing several failures in national fortunes, the Kingdom of Gangfei is no longer the original Empire of Gangfei. It has suffered successive defeats, lost its country and lost its territory. It has shrunk not only Territory, and the courage of the Gangfei people who looked down upon the Central European Barrow. When Marcos was assassinated, the Gangfei people desperately adhered to the coalition's view. On the one hand, the inspection team did not dare to order the expulsion of the Falcon Empire's foreign affairs officers, because it would attract too much hatred from the Falcon Empire. The Gang Kingdom did not want to wait for the menacing Falcon Emperor before it could wait for the coalition forces. It declared that it would wait for the investigation results of the observation mission to "find out the real mastermind behind the scenes to comfort the spirit of Marcos, the backbone of the kingdom."

This is not the answer. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the so-called observation team composed of dignitaries from the coalition forces has already made all unfavorable investigation results for the Falcon Empire. No matter what the final intention of the investigation is, there is only one conclusion, and it must be that The target of inciting the officers to mutiny and assassinating Marcos, a non-important minister of the Congo, was pointed at the Falcon Empire. The Falcon Empire must be framed and implemented.

If the observation team hadn't been cut off from their way back, the investigation conclusion would have been made long ago.

The coalition's victory over Edgar finally made the Gangfei court and the military determined. The Edgar barrier failed and the northern part of Gangfei was in danger. The momentum of the coalition increased greatly. It was time to turn against the Falcon Empire. Gangfei About to join the coalition camp tonight! The first thing to do is to expel the Falcon Empire's foreign affairs officers stationed in Congo.

Thinking of this, the member of the Gangfei Intelligence Department who was in charge of surveillance couldn't help but feel a little pitiful when he looked at Calades on the balcony. This guy was actually quite honest, but it was a pity that he had been in such a bad year. Thousands of people from non-royal capitals have been expelled from the country. It is estimated that their future life will be even more difficult.

"Everyone, pay attention and cheer up!" the leader of the monitors whispered. "There must be no flaw in tonight's events. The parade and carnival are to celebrate the victory of the coalition forces. In other words, His Majesty the Emperor has made a decision. Taking the road of complete confrontation with the Falcon Empire, the Falcon Empire's foreign affairs officer stationed in Gangfei should be expelled tonight under the eyes of countless people. His Majesty the Emperor is still counting on this to inspire people. If he is allowed to Sneak away early, no matter how many heads you or I have, it won't be enough! "

"Sir, do you really want to do this?" These surveillance personnel also drummed in their hearts, and one of them said unwillingly, "Expelling the Falcon Empire's foreign affairs officer is easy to say. If we really do it, we don't know what the result will be, and we don't know. What do the upper echelons of the kingdom think? The coalition forces are still so far away from Gangfei. The Falcon Empire The army can cross the border and attack at any time. The royal capital currently has more than 10,000 troops. In the past, it could not defeat hundreds of thousands of people. Now, with more than 10,000 people, it can still withstand the overwhelming force of the Falcon Empire. Elite? What's the point of a bird observation group? A carnival parade, isn't this a blatant attempt to seek death?

"Don't talk nonsense. This is His Majesty the Emperor's decision! Now I hope to use this to cheer up people's hearts and save the crisis! Whoever dares to leak any information in advance, I will kill him first!"

The leader glared at him angrily, and the subordinate shivered from the glare. They nodded in agreement. They were just ordered to monitor the Falcon Empire's foreign affairs officers. No matter how worried they were, it was all a matter from above. They could only pray that enough people had died and there would be no more wars. As long as there was no war. It doesn’t matter if it’s a kingdom or an empire, it’s what it is anyway! The coalition forces are not a good thing. Just look at the virtues of those observation groups. You can tell that they ran a little slower last time. He was caught up and whipped for more than a dozen times. If he was still in the imperial era and among these small and medium-sized countries in Central Europe, he would have dared to hold his head high in front of the uncle, and the uncle would have whipped him to death!

On the balcony facing the street. Kalasd's eyes glanced at the evading monitor sent by the Gangfei people, and he turned around with a trace of undisguised contempt on his lips. He patted the bear-like adjutant behind him and said, "Pack up the important things. Maybe we will return home tonight!"

"Return to the country?" The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then said angrily and unwillingly, "Are we just going to let them expel us and humiliate us like this?

"Humiliation? I don't know who is humiliating who. I asked you to pack your things because no matter what, after tonight, everything can be decided!" Karasid sneered at the corner of his mouth, "It has been more than two months since we came to Gangfei. , I have established a huge spy network throughout the Gangfei Kingdom, enough to There are more than 300 people, most of them are down-and-out nobles of the Gangfei Kingdom. These people have lost their land, reputation, and source of wealth. Moreover, our Falcon Empire is so powerful that we only need to make a move, and there will be a lot of them immediately. The gangsters who voluntarily surrendered, and as long as they gave an order, the country of Gangfei would be in turmoil."

"Sir, these people are just wallflowers and can't be counted! I'm afraid they won't be able to shoulder your trust," the adjutant curled his lips.

"Haha, of course I know these people are unreliable. In fact, these people are mainly the outermost cooperation workers. The real core layer is the sixteen people I transferred from the Imperial Intelligence Department and the Supervision Department, who are responsible for the sixteen cities in Congo. , just because people’s hearts are distracted, these sixteen people have already secretly Contact the heads of the sixteen major cities in Gangnam, Karasid said nonchalantly, his eyes shining sharply. He is responsible for reviewing the middle and upper-level officers of the army in the Supervision Department. The generals in these areas are most afraid of them. I know exactly what I like most,

Ever since the Marcos era issued a decree allowing regional generals to recruit regional armies, Gangfei's military power has begun to decline and local forces have begun to rise.

In the battle in southern Congo and Africa, all the 200,000 main Congolese border troops who could frighten the local area surrendered. In the end, according to the agreement between the two countries, Congo was downgraded from an empire to a kingdom. The remaining 200,000 southern troops of Congo and Africa only had 30,000 troops. All other soldiers were disbanded, and these disbanded soldiers were absorbed by the region. Once a regional general is established, With the military and financial power, it will be very difficult to make them obey the orders of the royal capital. Everyone can see that under the power of the Falcon Empire, there are still many days left before Gang Fei can rely on others. There is an undercurrent in the court. There was a surge of power, the change of authority, the death of Marcos, the veteran of the town army, and the local army was even more eager to find a way to survive.

Gangfei seems to be stable, but in fact, it is already sitting on a volcanic crater that can erupt at any time. It is ridiculous that Gangfei court has been unable to find it since Marcos, the last important minister in the Gangfei empire, was assassinated. There is still such a thing. The minister with sharp eyes is now busy carving up the Marco Polo. The power space left by Marcos's death was fought over and criticized by each other. After Marcos, several powerful ministers fell in succession. For example, the Minister of the Interior had to resign due to the exposure of corrupt military resources, not to mention How can the ministers and ministers below fall behind others before such a big change?

The wind of mutual revelations suddenly started, and the people in the court were almost out of their minds. It took a month of confusion before it was finally settled, which is also funny to say. Although Marcos has always been in charge of the internal and military affairs of Congo and Africa, he is mainly the Minister of Military Affairs. The ministers compete for government affairs, but when it comes to military affairs, they are all dumbfounded. The current Congolese army is the reduced Southern Army. These Confederate soldiers suffered great defeats, surrendered, and lost their southern homeland. The morale of the soldiers was low, their training was lazy, and their equipment was inadequate.

Marcos was also a somewhat ruthless and important minister with an overall view. He knew that the Southern Army, which had lost its morale and morale, could no longer be used, so he spent a lot of effort to mobilize elites from each army and pieced together a relatively elite force. The original intention of the more than ten thousand Qingteng New Army was to use the Qingteng New Army as the backbone. To revitalize Gangfei's main force, for this reason, he had already drained all the elites in Gangfei's army who could still fight, and the Qingteng Army changed. Even Marcos, the founder of the legion, was stabbed to death by an officer he carefully selected for the future of the country. Who would dare to use this elite group, which is not the only one left behind the plot?

In order to frame the Falcon Empire, the bloody officers of the Ivy Army caught and killed him. The soldiers in the military camp were directly dismissed unconditionally, and I was stunned to dismantle and destroy this only remaining elite warrior army. In this case. It is not easy to restore the power of the king in a high-profile manner.

Soldiers, military pay, supplies, combat readiness, and training. . . . . At first glance, it looks like a bottomless pit that requires a lot of money. The ministers are not willing to jump into the sinkhole.

The Minister of Military Affairs is a hot potato, so Cesc Fabregas, the head of the Southern Army, came to power.

Fabregas is a soldier and can fight. It would be too much of a joke on Fabregas to revive a shabby army into an elite and capable division. Two hundred thousand southern troops surrendered, and Gang Fei's armaments were almost destroyed. All wasted, and the formation of the Ivy League was all Marcos's own private money. Now he is very poor and Fabregas is backing him. Even if he sells Fabregas by the pound, it won't be enough.

Fabregas is busy negotiating with the coalition observer group every day, vying for weapons and equipment, and trying to please the coalition observer group. This has become the biggest concern of everyone in the Gangfei court. Who is still looking at Wang? What's going on outside the capital? The Gangfei court does not yet know that except for the capital area of ​​the Kingdom of Gangfei, the garrisons in other cities are adopting a wait-and-see attitude. The central royal power of Gangfei has been much weaker. The emperor is young, ministers are fighting for power, and the main fighting force is lacking. Once the prestige is restored, If all is lost, these areas outside the royal capital may choose to leave Gangfei and transfer to an empire that can bring them more security and economic benefits.

Kalasd was personally in charge of the royal capital of Gangfei. In fact, he had already secretly laid out the plans for the whole country of Gangfei. With the empire's rich wealth to open the way, a lot of business interests were thrown at him. However, he just sat back and watched the waves rise and fall. On the contrary, Gangfei was destroyed. The Non-Intelligence Department neglected to take precautions against him. Ever since the coalition observation group entered Congo, the situation became tense again.

Monitors sent by Gangfei people also appeared near Karasid's office. This morning, when they saw the target mission Karasd suddenly appeared on the balcony, the Gangfei monitors below suddenly became nervous. Will this guy run away? , if he really ran away, should we stop him or not? Fortunately, the Falcon Empire foreign affairs officer only stood for a while, looking a little uninterested, or looking at the bustle on the street. He felt very boring and walked into the room again, which made everyone feel relieved. The tone, as long as this man doesn’t run away now, what if he calls me grandpa a few times!

In the room, Karasid put down the quill in his hand with a smile. He had just received an invitation from Gangfei, inviting him to watch the parade and carnival. The officer who sent the letter almost had his nose raised to the sky. It looked like He really regarded himself as a lamb to be slaughtered and casually sent this Gang Fei officer away. Kalasd handed the letter to the adjutant and said in a solemn voice.

"Send it back immediately! Everything is tonight! We are kind people, but if the Gangfei people want to slap them in the face, there is really no reason not to slap them hard! Your Majesty specially asked the Gangfei Southern Army to retain a thousand The light cavalry is on the border for emergency use at critical moments, and now it’s time to show its face!”/

"What do you mean, sir?"

The adjutant swallowed nervously and was a little confused. A thousand light cavalry were enough to support the escape, but the Lord said that he wanted to slap Gang inhumane in the face. Since it was a slap in the face, it was not an escape. Fortunately, I was already thinking about how many dry food and water bags I would need to bring so that I could run out of the border without stopping.

"What is the name of the Gangfei people's carnival parade tonight?" Karasid looked at him and smiled.

"Celebrating the victory of the Allied Forces Edgar," the adjutant gritted his teeth with an aggrieved face and said, "Bah, what the hell, we obviously won!"

"That's fine!" Kalasd stood up, shrugged his shoulders, looked out the window at the streets decorated with ribbons, and said with a smile, "Gang Feiren wants to be lively, let's join in the fun, I will ask Gang Fei proposed that in order to make the celebration more lively, specially dispatched imperial cavalry to participate in the parade, with one thousand cavalry and eight hundred in the city. We are stationed outside, and two hundred people enter the capital to participate in the celebration. The Gangfei people are stationed in the city with 15,000 people. They will not refuse to allow two hundred people to enter the city to participate in the celebration. For them, anything that can make us feel embarrassed is fine. The best fun!"
