: 1680 The Road to War (6)

　　 "What is that guy from Lecco doing?"
　　
Duke Rubin Sark frowned slightly. He had heard that the navy was performing very poorly in the Southern Campaign. His Majesty was very dissatisfied with the commander-in-chief, who had an overview of naval affairs. His Majesty asked Rubin Sack to find a naval helm from a new perspective. For Rubin Sack, who was familiar with the non-military world like his own back garden, he immediately turned his attention to Admiral Mutebesu of the Second Fleet of the Navy.
　　
Admiral Mtebaisu is 34 years old, fighting bravely and cautiously. He is one of the rare conservatives in the navy. It is in line with the imperative needs of the imperial navy to recuperate. In the case of the emperor, he patted his chest in the face of His Majesty the emperor to ensure full control of the straits, such as the brazen words. If it was not too navy, it would cost the Empire countless financial resources and food, and mobilize one third of the Empire’s army. The empire's embarrassed southern expedition will not appear
　　
　　 "Invited Governor Lecco to come in!"
　　
Rubin Sack shouted solemnly to the door. He could guess the purpose of the Governor Lecco’s trip because he heard some kind of wind, looking at the military and non-military circles, who could influence the decision of His Majesty the Emperor. Very few, and myself is undoubtedly the most authoritative of these few
　　
"Papa" The door was pushed open from the outside. A middle-aged middle-aged man wearing a Phnom Penh empire navy uniform carefully walked in from the outside. When he saw Duke Rubin Sark, there was a flattering smile on his face immediately. "
　　
"The Inspector-General followed his majesty's southern expedition! Is he here at this time because His Majesty the Emperor has returned to Beijing?" Rubin Sark looked curious and made a gesture of sitting down to him, his face deliberately showing a strange look. ,
　　
　　 "This... Naturally not, I came back early."
　　
Lecco, who was about to give Chen Wei to the former naval admiral, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, and his low eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. It looked like he was running endlessly for a day and night, and he looked painful and said, "I heard His Majesty the Emperor decided to replace the Admiral of the Navy, so he purposely ran back in advance!"
　　
　　 "There is such a thing? Why don't I know?" Rubin Sarker was surprised, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes. Sure enough, the news was leaked!
　　
　　 "Admiral Minister does not need to hide, in fact, I already have such consciousness!"
　　
Lecco shook his head and said calmly, "In this southern campaign, the navy was crushed and unable to lift his head. In addition, the mercenary Strand navy suddenly withdrew, which eventually led to the defeat of the battle. Even if the emperor ordered the abolition of me on the spot, , I have no complaints! The reason why I came to see the Minister suddenly is because I suddenly received a report from the Putao squadron on my way back! After thinking twice, I still feel that I came back to see the Minister in person last time, because This report makes me uneasy!"
　　
　　 "Uneasy? What kind of report made the Admiral so nervous?"
　　
　　Duke Rubin Sark raised his white eyebrows slightly, he could hear the sincerity in the voice of Admiral Lecco
　　
"The Putuo squadron Admiral Alange reported that he encountered a large naval fleet of the Falcon Empire on the Huacheng Island chain in the Putuo sea area!" Lecco looked carefully out of a report in his arms, respectfully Respectfully placed in front of Duke Rubensack
　　
　　 "Flower City!"
　　
　　 Rubin Sark felt the heat of the fire holding the hand of the report, and some did not believe looking at the location above, yes, Huacheng Island Chain!
　　
　　The gaze of Duke Rubin Sark's expression, like the tip of the needle, flickered imperceptibly, Huacheng! It is the nest of the general chaotic army! The Falcon Navy also appeared in the chain of Huacheng Island! Rubin Sack suddenly had a feeling of turning away the clouds,
　　
　　 Yes, only this possibility, then everything can be explained. The general rebels have become strong, which is obviously unreasonable, obviously because of the support of the Falcon Empire! Most likely, the other party simply replaced the general rebel army with a falcon army!
　　
　　 "It’s no wonder that Remchat’s head broke in Lisbon and he couldn’t get close to this semi-ruined city!"
　　
After reading the report impatiently, Rubin Sack couldn’t care less about what he said, and went straight to the desk to pick up the pen. He wrote a few bright red words
Pay attention to the Falcon Army
on the report. The guard at the door shouted, "Come here, immediately send this report to Remchat to the battlefield in Lisbon at the fastest speed"
　　
"It seems that this report is quite up to date!" Admiral Lecco's face opposite showed a trace of ease, got up from the seat, took out a thick document from his arms, and gently placed it on Rubinza Gram on the desk
　　
　　"This is?" Rubin Sark looked at the documents on the table and asked curiously.
　　
Admiral Lecco smiled at the corner of his mouth. "This is a comprehensive investigation report on the entire Imperial Navy that I spent three years on. It’s an experience, and it’s just a matter of favor. I only hope that this document will play a role in the reform of the Imperial Navy. A little bit of action, then I will be satisfied."
　　
　　"Why should such a thing be given to me?" Rubin Sark asked hesitantly
　　
Inspector Lecco’s mouth had a faint grin on his lips.
I originally wanted to wait for His Majesty to return to Beijing, and then I submitted it with my resignation.
Inspector Lecco’s voice stopped before I continued, but I still felt that it was so Even if it is submitted in the environment, the emperor, who is very dissatisfied with me, will not glance at it, so I decided that even if it is considered brazen, I hope that I can use the hands of the minister to hand it over to the next governor in person!
　　
　　 "I have only one wish, and I hope the imperial navy will be undefeated!" Inspector Lecco performed a military etiquette to Duke Rubin Sack with a solemn look, and turned and walked out of the office
　　
Watching the back view of Governor Lecco's sad look leaving, Rubin Sack took a deep breath with a complex look, put his hand on the document on the table, and flipped through it. The enthusiasm is also a very capable person,
　　
As a representative of the Navy’s main battle hawks, at first it was only a squadron admiral, and Lecco was not outstanding in appearance. However, it was one of the few empire admirers who had the courage to lead the imperial navy and the first naval power of Obaro. Holding figures,
　　
It was precisely because of the outstanding performance of that time that it was finally valued by His Majesty the Emperor, who also liked to attack, and was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Navy in one fell swoop, replacing the predecessor Duke Popola, and Lecco was also not ambitious. The expectations of His Majesty the Emperor,
　　
Under his full leadership, it was originally just a general defensive gang and navy, just like a beast that suddenly cheered. Within just two years, the number of battleships and sailors had doubled, and soon the northern Gaul Empire Demonstrating an aggressive and aggressive posture, several wars against the southwestern Gaul, the navy all played as an army forward and sang forward, the Gaul navy was beaten and lost his helmet, losing his armor, retiring, and also Lecco's confident proposal An amazing strategy of advancing by sea and land
　　
"Using the army as a bait and naval delivery as the jumping point, finally formed a two-sided attack on the southwest!" Duke Rubin Sack still echoed his mind at the military meeting at this time. The voice, that World War I was not the most promising one to occupy the Southwest in just a century. If it were not for the Northwest Navy’s strong involvement, the Imperial Navy’s superiority in the Southwest was reversed by World War I. This Southwestern War can hardly be beaten Called a brilliant victory!
　　
Three days later, the document from Gangfei was sent to Remchat, who was holding a military meeting, and holding this document, which was personally approved by the Minister of Military Affairs Rubin Sack in red, his eyes were suddenly bloodshot. , Like a stick in the head, the body shook slightly,
　　
　　Report the three words of red falcon army above! Let Remchart punch an angry punch on the wall, blood flows down the cracked wound, cunning ordinary people, despicable falcon empire, all this is a trap, for the side under the Lisbon Tob Is an unsolvable dead end!
　　
　　"Sir, what's wrong? "The generals below have a glimpse of his face, and no one knows that Remchart, who has always been gentle, will suddenly become so irritable. It feels like he has just been fired ass,
　　
"Sir, the ordinary man shoots a letter from the wall!" A non-general general walked in from the outside with a cluster of arrows tied to the letter. He glanced at the blue-faced Remchart, carefully. Handed up the arrow cluster in his hand
　　
"General letter?" Remchart hesitated on the face and took the arrow cluster. After careful inspection, "there was no problem before tearing down the letter above. His eyes were read with dignity and surprise. Letter, take a deep breath
　　
　　 "What's the matter, sir! Is this the other party's letter of appointment?" asked the general who sent the letter.
　　
　　"No, it is the general rebels of Lisbonto who want to negotiate with us!" Remchat raised his head and said solemnly.
　　
"Negotiations? Are the Putuo people crazy?" "The general just gave a cry." Do they really think that if they win once or twice, they will be arrogant enough to negotiate with us, and what qualifications do they have to talk to us? , Listo was not captured, but was still under siege. Although he still cannot be overcome, as long as the army of the empire arrives, even ten Lisbons are useless!"
　　
　　"Although it is said that way, the Empire's reinforcements don't know where to stay!"
　　
Remchart's mouth twitched. As a senior officer of the Military Department, he knew that the empire's strength could no longer be withdrawn before the return of His Majesty the Emperor, and the oppression of the Northern Falcon Empire also allowed the Empire to stay in the north. The force was crucified. Obviously, the despicable Falcon Empire took such a gap, so it was so unscrupulous to assist the ordinary people! In this confrontation, Gang Fei is in a weak position, and behind the ordinary people, standing in the powerful Falcon Empire
　　
"Go back and tell the Putuo people, I agree to the negotiation!" Remchart gritted his teeth. The negotiation s issued by the other party happened to be at the time when His Majesty the Emperor was about to return to Kyoto. If he could calm down the rebellion, or if there was no fault , Still a very dazzling achievement, faced with this temptation, Remchart cannot refuse
　　
"grown ups....."
　　
General Gangfei’s face became ugly. For Gangfei soldiers who were used to it, it was a shame to negotiate with a small principality like Putuo, but the head of the army in Remchart insisted Next, Gang Fei’s army agreed to the negotiations
　　
　　The location of the negotiation was set in the hall of St. Cam in the city. In order to finalize the negotiation candidate, Remchat finally sent the former Governor of Lisbon, Boulder, along with three young officers,
　　
The former Governor of Lisbon was wearing a blue uniform that was not just an army. He wore white sand-wrapped gloves in his right hand. After entering the city gate, he covered his nose lightly and intentionally, because there were ruins around him. That day the city was full of corpses, and Bold's heart was panicking.
　　
The smell here is mouldy and weird, like a moldy apple, giving off a sweet lees smell, and making his nose uncomfortable. Countless white gray can be seen in the beam of light shining through the gap between the ruins The marks are undulating,
　　
Since Lisbon’s unrest, the San Cam Hall has been abandoned for a short period of time. The courtyard has just been cleaned up, but the original scattered traces can still be seen. The flowers and plants on both sides of the marble walkway have also been cleaned up. Some broken reliefs seem to be silently accusing the disaster. The frescoes in the hallway are stained with gray dust. On the windowsills on both sides of the hallway, thick dust can drown a bang,
　　
　　 The carpet that was covered with corpses, you may also see the blood stains left by the massacre that day,
　　
These should be paved in the hall, to show the identity of the guests and distinguished noble cashmere rugs, need one or several elder maids, bent over, lying on the ground, carefully using the delicate white hands, like a little yellow warbler pecking rice, one A little bit, strict cleaning in the clockwise direction, that is, a small hairpin error, may cause the entire carpet to be imperfect. This is a very laborious effort and often requires mobilization of many people and a busy one. To finish in the afternoon or in a day,
　　
But now it’s war, not to mention careful cleaning. Even if it’s washing, I just found some cloth brooms, washed them with water a few times, then cleaned it casually, and it was spread on the ground carelessly. The hairy mustard is completely messed up and tangled up like a bunch of small particles. The strange smell comes out from here. For the Governor of Borde, who is used to the floral fragrance of Lisbon and has a rich carpet, this is simply As terrible as hell, these tangled hairballs are like a rift in his heart
　　
　　 "The former Lisbonto no longer exists, and the current Lisbonto is only a little better than hell!"
　　
Governor Boulder’s look was very complicated. Here, he once put a lot of effort into it. Under the guidance of several ordinary soldiers, he entered the negotiation room, a long table, and there were four people sitting opposite, one was looking The cold Duke of Putao, the other is the King of Raphael, who looks sad, and there are two people who don't know, but the straight back and the clothing on the body should be all soldiers. Borde's eyes are slightly surprised. Of weapons floating over the waist of one of them,
　　
It's a very weird style, weird arcs, it seems that this weapon is much more fierce than the long sword, and Boer's thinking is entirely subconscious. He didn't know that this evil weapon has been since From the moment it was born, it was linked to the heroic feats of the blood river of the corpse mountain. Although this sword was still inserted in the scabbard, it was on the handle, because it was often infected with blood, and some looming surface could be seen faintly. The red trace is the blood rust formed by the blood intruding into the gap of the handle
　　
"Lord Governor Borde, what do you think of the ruined Lisbonto in front of you?" Seeing to make Borde, Duke Putao's face grew colder. "I remember, the Governor of Bol said it was here. It is the most beautiful place you have ever seen. Now, do you still feel beautiful?"
　　
The Lisbon Torrance, the army that the governor ordered to maintain the order, turned a blind eye to the entire turmoil, which eventually led to a small turmoil of only one or two blocks, which turned into a brutal turmoil that swept the entire Lisbonto within a few days. The ordinary people in this country were killed in this turmoil because the eastern chaos was the source, and the turmoil in other regions also broke out. To say who is the person who hurts the most in the ordinary people, this Governor Borde is definitely the first.
　　
"I'm sorry, but this is war!" Bolder hadn't expected that the opposite Duke of Putuo would ask such a question, and he responded with guilty conscience. Only he knew that that night, there were other people sitting in the command. ,
　　
"War is not a massacre of civilians! Look at you for your sake~ EbookFREE.me~ This city from heaven to hell" Duke Putao gritted his teeth, grasped his fingers, and his joints gurgled. "If it is not a negotiation now, I will definitely order you, the murderer who destroyed Lisbonto, to be hanged"
　　
　　 At this moment, the whole space is quiet,
　　
"Now the negotiation begins. These boring conversations will not help the negotiation!" Boulder suddenly turned his eyes away, obviously reluctant to continue to stir in this matter, the commander that night was Remxia In particular, Bolder wanted to say this, but finally he refrained,
　　
The Duke of Putuo sitting in his seat groaned in dissatisfaction. Compared with the aggressive Duke of Putuo, the other King Raphael was much quieter, his eyes still wandering in fear, especially when he saw Boulder's complexion turned a bit green just now, and the timid king of the county almost shouted, "I was forced to negotiate!"
　　
"Let's talk about the conditions!" Boerde sat down in the first place, looking at the Duke of Putao in the opposite position at the same time. Several officers behind him sat down next to him. He also felt very rude to Duke of Putuo. Indignant, but what is the solution? The first two siege defeats have already made me lose the confidence to speak hard at this negotiating table.
