Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 410: Parliamentary decision

"This is a shame! Why, why is it that our army has an obvious advantage, but it is still defeated by the evil Winsters?"

In the parliament in Patridava, the speaker of the council waved his hands and roared loudly. His roar echoed in the wide parliament meeting, shaking the eardrums of the members of the parliament who were close to him painful.

"A total of six thousand people! Six thousand soldiers were buried outside the Amatlia stronghold! Even in the previous series of battles, no more than six thousand people were killed!" Speaker Vincent Lovell still Roaring, it's no wonder he was so angry, because the current situation is clearly that they have the upper hand, regardless of land and sea, but such a terrible defeat has occurred.

If he didn't know Cassiano's background very well, he would even suspect that Cassiano was bought by the Winsters, deliberately leading the army into traps and sending heads away.

The parliamentarians underneath did not speak. To be precise, they did not want to touch the troubles of Speaker Lowell. Except for some Cassiano’s supporters, they were nothing to do with themselves. Those who opposed Cassiano. The congressman was even more secretly pleased, looking for an opportunity to propose that Cassiano should be removed, so as not to let him continue to show the limelight.

In the opinion of the congressmen, the other three allies have joined the war and sent reinforcements, and Cassiano’s role is not so great. In this advantageous situation, unless it is deliberately pushed by a fool to command, it is impossible to lose. This war.

This is the reality. In order not to harm one's own interests, even the heroes of the country can be abandoned.

After Speaker Lowell calmed down and sat back in his position, the few members below exchanged eyes with each other, and then one of them raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say. Speaker Lowell was naturally There was no reason to refuse, he nodded and motioned to the congressman named Jordi Ferron to stand up and speak.

After getting permission, Jordi stood up under the gaze of the other members of the court. He first smoothed the folds of his robe, and then gracefully saluted the others, before he said: "Your Excellency, Honorable President, also Members of Congress, the failure of General Cassiano Chavaria’s command is really a loss to the Alliance, but we cannot blame him for it. The sages have said: There is no perfect person in this world. If there is, then he will Comparable to a god. General Chavalia is obviously not a god-like existence, so it is inevitable that he will make mistakes."

"Ferron, what do you want to explain." Speaker Lowell frowned and asked in a somewhat impatient tone.

"Please be patient and listen to me, Lord Speaker." Yordi said, "In my memory, the last time General Chavalia led the Alliance army to defeat the barbarians who invaded the Lapki city-state, it seems to be thirteen years. Before. In the 13 years since then, General Chavalia has been living in seclusion at home and has never returned to the battlefield."

"General Chavalia’s military talents cannot be denied by any of us, but his thoughts are still stuck at thirteen years ago. Although the barbarians who invaded the Alliance thirteen years ago were large in number but poorly equipped, compared to what we are now The army of the Kingdom of Winster that crosses the Valdasia Peninsula is not worth mentioning. So although General Chavalia can lead the Alliance army to win several wars, it is based on the fact that our army is retreating and making On the basis of the Winsters underestimating the enemy."

"Now, the Winsters no longer underestimate the enemy, and General Chavalia is still fighting the enemy with his previous thoughts. It is normal to be defeated."

After Yordi finished speaking, he bowed to the crowd and was about to sit back, but before his **** fell on the cold stone chair, several MPs who supported Cassiano shouted out angrily and said to Yordi. That irresponsible point of view protested.

However, before Jordi stood up to fight back, the Speaker Lowell on the high platform shouted to the deputies to shut up. It can be seen that the Speaker’s dissatisfaction with Cassiano was deeper than those of them. No wonder, because at the same time that Cassiano has won successive victories, there has been a saying within the alliance that Speaker Lovell should step down and support Cassiano as the new president of the alliance. Although this may not become a reality for a time, it is still Lovell was very angry.

Seeing that the few MPs who supported Cassiano closed their mouths unwillingly, Jordi's heart was almost happy. He and the surrounding accomplices exchanged eye contact again for a while, then took it back and looked at the general manager on the stage. Speaker, he has a hunch that Cassiano will definitely step down this time. Even considering that he will not convict him for his military exploits, he will not have the opportunity to return to the political arena again.

In order to make Cassiano cooler faster, he decided to go back and hire some people after the meeting was over, to publicize the defeat, and deliberately discredit Cassiano’s image as a butcher and executioner-the one who died in battle. Thousands of citizens are enough to make ignorant civilians riotous.

Just when Jordi was thinking about how to cool Cassiano, the speaker on the stage finally made a speech~lightnovelpub.net~ He frowned and said, "Because Cassiano Chavali The sub-general’s command error resulted in a disastrous defeat for our army and the death of more than 6,000 soldiers. Therefore, General Chavalia’s position as commander in command was temporarily revoked and he was ordered to return to Patridawa for several days. As for the new commander-in-chief, the meeting will be tomorrow. Election here."

"This decision, please vote for Members."

As soon as Speaker Lowell's voice fell, the audience raised a piece of arms in unison, and they all voted in favor. From the perspective of the speaker, the entire venue, except for the few Cassiano supporters and a few abstaining MPs, actually raised their hands.

Seeing this scene, Speaker Lovell flashed a look of satisfaction, but he did not speak. Instead, he waited for the clerk to record the voting results and report it to him before saying: "Since there are more people in favor of this proposal Those who oppose this proposal, in accordance with the Union’s law, this proposal will take effect, and the clerk Diaz will go to the front and announce it to Cassiano Chavaria."

...

The next day, before the parliamentary meeting, negative rumors against Cassiano spread in the streets and alleys of Patri Dava, as well as the process of the battle of Amatlia (the impact of the pre-war thunderstorms was reduced to a minimum , Cassiano’s announcement of the withdrawal was also slandered and became greedy for life and fear of death, afraid to move forward). In the rumors, Cassiano was portrayed as the butcher and executioner who deliberately failed the battle and caused the death of more than 6,000 soldiers in the army. He also pointed out that Cassiano was likely to have accepted the Winster's acquisition. Become a traitor who worked for the Winsters.

Although most sane civilians did not believe that the heroes of the past would accept the Winsters' bid, this obviously dominant battle turned into a disastrous defeat, which could not be washed away anyway.
