Chapter 1009: Market garden

Duke Everbright sat there alone and praised Isabella from the back. Leo also started to praise Queen Isabella, and even sluggishly scored one, two, three, four.
Catherine was unhappy
The more the Grand Duke Julian praised Queen Isabella, the uglier Catherine’s face became
Both of these masters are heartless, and they praised the queen like an emperor through the ages.
And Catherine’s face is getting colder and colder, as if she is covered with a layer of frost, she has no affection for this bad woman of her father.
In the eyes of others, it is the Grand Duke of Julian who is harassing Queen Isabella, but as a conservative and good, intelligent woman, when she is a well-knowing woman of the era, when will Princess Catherine be reasonable? ...Uh, no
As an excellent woman of the era, she has always had a torch-like gaze, and she can see through the essence of the matter at a glance. If Queen Isabella didn't mean Archduke Julian, could Archduke Julian continue to be so idiot?
The main reason is that the woman is not good
Seeing that the Grand Duke will soon ignite the volcano Catherine, Lorraine had to come forward to stop the Grand Duke from continuing to be idiots.
When Catherine got angry, Lorraine would never care how much the Grand Duke suffered, but Catherine was in a bad mood and would slap the table and the bench. When it was all right, Lord Luo would surely follow him.
Lorraine coughed, interrupting the idiot father and son, and said, "What shall we do next? Can we send troops into the city and strengthen our guard?"
Grand Duke Julian was taken aback for a moment, and asked in a puzzled voice: "What's the strategy?"
Lorraine curled his lips and said angrily: "The yīn conspirators lurking in the city, this time it is obvious that they are premeditated and planned.
I think their purpose is to cause chaos in sāo. Once unsuccessful, they will have another unsuccessful in Abdwad. That will be in other cities.
I suspect that they are in contact with Hardu, so that the time itself was planned by Hardu...
of"
Catherine slapped the table with a muffled sound of "bang" and screamed in anger, saying: "This group of messy messy parties is the most hateful.
All the things that are done all day are harmful and unfavorable activities, so we must dig them all out deeply and severely punish them."
Archduke Julian was shocked immediately, and was surprised why Catherine was so angry, like taking gunpowder.
Grand Duke looked at Lorraine suspiciously
Lorraine smiled helplessly, so he wouldn’t tell the Grand Duke that it was the old guy who had no eyesight and asked for trouble. He praised another outstanding female in front of an outstanding female. This quality is very severe, and Catherine is not hairy. Blame
He coughed lightly, and said flatly: "Then let's communicate with Queen Isabella, transfer the two legions into the city, 24 hours non-stop inspections, and guard against death."
"Such the best~"
At this moment, the voice of Queen Isabella came from behind Lorraine. Everyone was taken aback, and then turned around and looked around. As expected, it was the Queen’s presence.
Everyone in the command room hurriedly stood up politely
I saw Queen Isabella walking in with the Prime Minister Marquis Vishand and the commander-in-chief General Hasel
Behind them, there is a burly knight in light armor
It is the captain of the shì guard Victor of the Queen
This is an old acquaintance of Lorraine
In the beginning, it was this guy who killed Emperor Almohad and replaced it with a stand-in
Lorraine was extremely impressed by him. You should know that at the time, he was a little nauseous and nauseous, but the guy didn't change his face, he didn't even blink his eyes and he was cruel.
But through that incident, Lorraine also knew that Victor was definitely Queen Isabella’s true confidant.
Seeing the queen walking in, Lorraine couldn't help but feel a little strange, and felt that something was wrong.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Queen Isabella had already changed into a blue palace dress at this moment.
The brown hair that curled quietly, showing that the rugged waves was still wet, the original white jade face was blushing with rouge, and the body also exuded a faint scent of butterfly orchids, which was obviously Perfumed
With the appearance of the queen, Grand Duke Julian immediately walked forward cordially and graciously pulled out the chair for Queen Isabella.
After Queen Isabella sat down, the Grand Duke sat down beside the Queen with a smile and squeezed the Marquis of Vechamp and General Hassel to one side.
Victor was expressionless, standing straight behind Queen Isabella. Although he is a cron of the Queen, he is not enough to serve the table.
When Queen Isabella first came in, Catherine glanced at the queen, smiled knowingly, with a gloating expression on her pretty face, leaned over to Lorraine, and secretly said to Lorraine: "She must have vomited just now."
Lorraine suddenly realized it, and couldn't help but snickered in her heart: No wonder she was taking a shower and changing clothes again. It was obvious that the smell of the refugees was too great.
Just now tens of thousands of people on the [Guangzhou] field were watching, but no one dared to squeeze forward because the smell was so unpleasant.
These hundreds of people, in such a hot summer in Almohad, did not change their clothes or take a bath for more than half a month, and the smell on their bodies can be imagined as they approached and even felt suffocated.
This is true for ordinary people, let alone a pampered woman
It’s really hard for Queen Isabella. Seeing her, she should have come here after taking a shower.
As for whether or not to vomit, Lorraine couldn’t tell, but since Catherine said yes, it must be that women’s observations in this regard are very keen.
At this moment, Queen Isabella nodded to Lorraine, and then continued with the words just now, "Earl Lorraine said very much
This is just the enemy’s first offensive. They lie in the dark. As long as they don’t get them out, they will continue to make waves. We must be careful every time. I agree with Lorraine to mobilize some soldiers to maintain order in the city.
Not only that, but I also want to order the peacekeeping forces scattered in various places to pay close attention to the cities everywhere to prevent the enemy from causing trouble. They have not succeeded in the imperial city and are likely to turn their attention to other cities."
Grand Duke Julian waved his hand boldly and said decisively: "Don't worry, leave it to me, who of us and whom? Your business is not mine..."
But then, seeing a cold light flashing in Catherine’s eyes next to him, and the water-clear eyes full of fierce murderous intent, he couldn’t help but panicked, coughing dryly, and then said: "I...I will let them stare, one Act immediately if there is an abnormality"
Queen Isabella pretended not to see the small drama performed between their father and daughter, and smiled indifferently, and said: "Thank you, my lord, for not having you. I really don't know what to do if I am a woman?"
Hearing these words made the Grand Duke Julian as comfortable as the dog that had eaten "a stick to death", er Haagen-Dazs, and he was so happy that he kept laughing.
Catherine picked the corners of her mouth and bit her silver teeth secretly. Seeing that her father was so stale and leaking, her heart was sulking but there was nowhere to release her, so she went to grab Leo.
But that little hooligan has grown up under her hands since she was a child, and it’s all his cleverness that he can survive until now. Seeing that something is wrong, he ran away early.
Catherine caught a gap, then turned to look at Leo, but the second master Lei pressed his against the corner of the wall, clenched his fists, held Catherine’s gaze, and shook his head firmly and decisively. Looks like
Catherine was helpless, so she had to turn the target, stretched out her hand and pinched Lorraine's waist.
Lorraine bared his teeth with pain, smiled bitterly in his heart: He was shot while lying down~
What's this to me, no disaster, wait, I have to pinch back at night
Queen Isabella gave a wry smile, sighed, and said feebly: "I am troubled internally and externally~ I have no one under my staff. The enemy planned such a big thing, I didn't even hear the wind."
The lack of available talent is constantly a disadvantage of Queen Isabella
The foundation of the queen is not strong, and the family power is not strong enough. Naturally, the relatives and one party who should have been leading the political arena will not develop.
But the queens of the old government didn’t dare to use them. The nobles and the queens disliked each other. Everything had to be done again. Most skilled people were not very loyal, while loyal people were mostly useless.
It's an endless loop
Lorrain tapped his chin and hesitated, "Isn't there still the Worrying Knights?"
Queen Isabella shook her head and said: "Non-governmental organizations can create momentum, but they are not useful. We urgently need a professional intelligence team."
Then Queen Isabella looked at Lorraine with shining eyes, and said: "I heard that there is a security guard under the Flying Eagle Group. Is it the top level of the mainland to do counter-espionage work?"
Lorraine smiled, and said modestly: "The rumors are mostly exaggerated, and it's just a little trouble."
The FBI, a powerful venture capital firm for counterintelligence, is a professional department under the intelligence queen Deipoll
The security forces are operational forces
However, due to the complex structure of the Flying Eagle Group, there are many departments, and they are insiders. If you don’t reach a certain level, you can’t know not to mention outsiders.
Those people don’t understand the situation and it’s normal to treat them as the same thing.
And this is the result that Lord Luo Jue needs confuses people, which is naturally conducive to confidentiality.
Queen Isabella said: "Our struggle with the enemy is no longer limited to the battlefield. It is an all-round war.
And my staff is lacking such talents. Can Earl Lorraine help us train a group of talents in this field? "
The Grand Duke slapped his chest immediately and said cheerfully: "This is no problem..."
But immediately seeing the cold gaze from Catherine next to him, the voice couldn't help but lower.
Queen Isabella could not help but raised her eyebrows quietly, and looked at Lorraine and Catherine questioningly.
She is also a sensible person, knowing: this kind of thing, they have to make up their minds
Lorraine glanced at Catherine and saw that she didn’t say anything, knowing that Catherine had acquiesced, but she couldn’t help but agree.
No matter how the old guy is, it’s her father that since he was the first to agree, he can no longer sing the opposite, and it will save his face.
Lorraine nodded and said: "Yes, your Majesty the Queen"
Queen Isabella looked very happy, and said, "Thank you Lorraine and Chairman Leo, I will hand it over to Victor, Victor~" Victor who is like the shadow of Queen Isabella is gone. Come out, bow your head and say: "Your order, Your Majesty"
Queen Isabella said indifferently: "This matter is left to you. Following Lorraine's dispatch, I will fully support you and set up this department as soon as possible. We have high hopes for it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best." Victor replied respectfully, turning his head to look at Lorraine, then bared his teeth, smiled brightly, and said: "I will ask Vice President Tolorin again from now on. Commander"
Lorraine smiled happily, walked over and patted Victor on the shoulder, and said: "We are old friends, so don't need to say more polite words. Cooperation with Master Wei has always been very prickly."
Victor shì Chief Wei smiled awkwardly, of course he knew what Lorraine was talking about.
Training special agents for Queen Isabella is of course good for Lorraine and the others. The security army will be the instructor, and the finally trained agents will have a friendly relationship with Lorraine and the security army can also easily insert into it. nail
Queen Isabella said: "The fundamental reason for the current unfavorable situation is that our army is not in a good fight, which disappoints the people.
To deal with the current situation, it is not only to guard against death, the important thing is to reshape the confidence of the people in us. Weishan and Hassel put forward an idea, Weishan you."
The Marquis of Veshang was very ugly from the moment he entered the door, and the hall was dark, he was very worried, and he was stabbed by today's affairs without saying a word. Thousands of people shouted "Vishang down" and the impact was great. very big
Even if he knew it was secretly instigated by the enemy, the Marquis of Veshang still felt uncomfortable. He was a soldier in the army, and he lacked enough professional politicians to be thick enough.
Seeing that I have done so many things without sī, still not understood by others, and resented by others, one can imagine the distress in the Marquis’s heart.
But a good politician is mostly like this, and grows up robustly amidst constant setbacks
At this time, seeing the queen point to herself, the Marquis of Vechamp had to cheer up and said slowly: "General Hassel and I discussed it.
We believe that our army has regained morale after a period of contraction and reorganization, while the enemy’s front has become longer and longer.
The current situation of the war is slowly benefiting us. Can we seize this rare opportunity to launch a counterattack to win the morale of the people and the army?
Therefore, we want to solicit the opinions of the two commanders."
Lorraine and Archduke Julian looked at each other, and both quietly nodded
The Almohad government’s judgment on the situation is consistent with that of the peacekeeping force’s staff. It can be seen that people in the military and government are still very professional.
The current situation of the war, in the eyes of many people, is that the rebels are unstoppable. The strength of the army is insufficient. The rebels have not suffered severe loss, nor have they encountered any setbacks. It is just the morale.
It will take a long time to defeat the rebels by the army alone.
Only those who are experienced and discerning can tell that the rebels have been weakened.
The enemy has reached the peak of his attack, which is the best opportunity to launch a counterattack.
After more than half a month of adjustment and rest, the army has been replenished again, and its combat effectiveness has been restored.
And the enemy has been fighting for so long, and it has been the exhausted division that has fought until now.
However, in order to seize the territory, they disregarded the taboos of military strategists. Not only did they not gather the already few troops, but spread them out.
Terrible loopholes have appeared on their front
Grand Duke Julian was very interested in their proposal and said, "Tell me about your plan."
General Hassel stood up, bowed to everyone, walked to the front of the map, picked up the baton and tapped a spot behind the heavy black flags on the map
Then he took a deep breath and said smugly: Our plan is that if we succeed in capturing the Priska ferry occupied by Hadu, this will be a huge victory that can change the situation of the war."
Lorraine looked at the map and said sincerely: "A big handwriting~"
Grand Duke Julian also quietly took the lead, and said to Queen Isabella: "This idea is good and worth studying who came up with it?"
Queen Isabella smiled with satisfaction and said: "It is the collective wisdom of the frontline generals."
Lorraine nodded, and said: "A plan to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot"
Priska Ferry is just behind the enemy
It is an important natural ferry crossing on the Zamibia River with gentle water flow
At this moment, Priska Ferry is under control of Hadu, and the troops stationed are two legions.
Hundreds of miles north of the ferry have been occupied by the rebels. The attack on Priska ferry is undoubtedly taking chestnuts in the fire.
Once the Priska Ferry is captured, it is equivalent to wedging a nail in the back of the rebels
The rebels have penetrated into northern Taiyuan, and their military strength is too scattered. It does not mean that they can be withdrawn.
Recapture Prisca Ferry, whether it is east or west, can block the retreat of the rebels, pack them in their pockets, and easily destroy them
Lorraine thought for a moment, and said: "Are the army sure to take Prisca Ferry and hold it?"
In Lorraine’s view, this plan...Although it is tempting, it is troublesome to implement.
The plan made by the army... is like the market garden operation of the US Army in World War II. Once it succeeds, the victory will be huge. But relying on only a transportation line from an enemy-occupied area, to ensure the victory of the battle, the difficulty is unimaginable.
With the current strength and quality of the Almohad Army, it is somewhat reluctant to implement this plan, and even the Ruman Army’s implementation of this combat plan cannot guarantee complete success.
Lorraine looked at General Hassel and said, "To put it bluntly, do you think the plan can succeed with your current strength?
The army has 70,000 people and can be engaged in continuous fighting. It is full of less than 50,000 people. The rebels currently active on the north bank of the Zamibia River alone have more than 60,000 people stationed at the Prisca Ferry. There are also 30,000 troops on standby, the strength of which is two to one by one.
Queen Isabella showed a nervous expression. She was very enthusiastic about the plan and asked nervously, "Is this impossible?"
Julian is fair: "This plan is bold and exciting, and it suits my appetite. Once it succeeds, in Lorraine's words, closing the door and hitting the dog can pack all the rebels active in the north.
But it goes deep into the enemy’s area for six hundred miles, attacking an enemy heavily defended fortress, and then holding on to the attack on both sides~EbookFREE.me~ It is indeed too difficult.
General Hassel commented:
We have considered all of these. , We are going to use all the artillery this time
Part of the offensive is the Royal Forbidden Army and a part of the Knights Templar will also participate in the war"
"Wow~" Lorraine sighed involuntarily, able to tell the gang of Knights Templar to join the battle, Queen Isabella had invested a lot of money
General Hasel said: "After our assessment, we believe that the battle can be successful only if the logistics supply line is smooth."
Duke of Lorraine and Julian both smiled quietly, keeping the logistics supply smooth, who will keep it? There can be others besides peacekeeping forces
The key point of this battle is to maintain the smoothness of logistics supplies. Lorraine smiled and shook his head, and said: "Your opponent is Hardu. If Hardu suddenly increases his troops again during the battle, he will counterattack Priska Ferry. , The army must be defeated
No wife..."
Lorraine tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes glistened, and said to himself: "This may be a good opportunity to catch Hardu. He has been shrinking in the tortoise shell for too long."
