"What is that guy from Lecco?"

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 governor who had an overview of naval affairs. His Majesty asked Rubin Sack to take a naval helm from the new thing. For Rubin Sack, who was familiar with the non-military world like his own back garden, he immediately looked at the Navy’s Second Fleet Admiral Mtebesu,

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. At least this admiral Mtebaisu will not know that the navy is inadequate. In the case of the emperor, he patted his chest in front of His Majesty’s chest to ensure full control of the straits, such as the brazen words. If it wasn’t too much for the 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

"Please Inspector Lecco come in!"

Rubin Sark shouted solemnly to the door, he could vaguely guess the purpose of the Governor Lecco's trip, because he heard some kind of wind, looking at the military and non-military circles, which could influence the decision of His Majesty the Emperor. There are very few people, and you are 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 it because my emperor has returned to Beijing at this time?" The Rubin Sark **** was curious and gave him a gesture of sitting down, and his face deliberately showed a little surprise. The **** of

"This... naturally not. I came back early."

Lecco, who was about to give Chen Wei to the former naval admiral, had a trace of embarrassment on his face, bloodshot eyes in his low eyes, and it looked like he had been running endlessly for a day and night. The **** said painfully, "I I heard that His Majesty the Emperor decided to replace the Admiral of the Navy. That’s why he deliberately ran back in advance!"

"There is such a thing? Why don't I know?" Rubin Sack was surprised, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes. Sure enough, the news was leaked!

"Admiral Minister does not have to hide, in fact, I already have such consciousness!"

Lecco shook his head. The face said calmly, “In this southern campaign, the navy was crushed and unable to lift its head, and the sudden withdrawal of the Strand navy as a mercenary led to the defeat of the campaign. Even if the emperor ordered me to be abolished on the spot, I didn’t even know it. Complaint! The reason why I suddenly came to see Your Excellency Minister. On the way back, I suddenly received a report from the General Settlement Squadron! Thinking twice, I still feel that I came back to meet the Minister last time, because this report made me feeling anxious!"

"Uneasy? What kind of report made the Admiral so nervous?"

The white eyebrow of Duke Rubin Sack raised his eyebrows slightly, he could hear the sincerity in the voice of Admiral Lecco

"The Putuo squadron advisor Alange reported that he encountered a large naval fleet of the Falcon Empire in the Huacheng Island chain in the Putuo sea area!" Lecco took out a report carefully from his arms. Respectfully placed in front of Duke Rubensack

"Flower City!"

Rubin Sack felt the heat of the report holding his hand, and some did not believe in looking at the location above, yes, Huacheng Island Chain!

The dignified gaze of the Duke of Rubin Sark, 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 is possible, then everything can be explained, and the general rebels have become strong and unreasonable. Obviously it is 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 couldn't get close to this semi-ruined city!"

Rubin Sack read the report impatiently, and could not care what he said. I went straight to the desk and picked up the pen. I wrote a few bright red words "Attention Falcon Army" on the report. I shouted to the guard at the door, "Come here, immediately report this report at the fastest speed. Send to Remchat towards the Battle of Lisbon"

"It seems that this report is quite up to date!" Admiral Lecco's long face opposite showed a trace of ease, stood 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 the **** asked curiously.

Admiral Lecco smiled at the corner of his mouth. "This is a comprehensive investigation report I spent three years on the entire Imperial Navy. It is either experience or sensation. 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 still decided that even if it is considered shameless, I hope that I can use the hands of the minister to hand it over to the next governor.

"There is only one wish for me, and the imperial navy will be undefeated!" Governor Lecco solemnly performed a military etiquette to the Duke Rubin Sack and turned away from the office

Watching the back view of Governor Lecco's sad departure, Rubin Sark took a deep breath with complex eyes, put his hands on the documents on the table, and turned over. He had to admit that this Governor Lecco's The enthusiasm of the navy itself is a very capable person,

As a representative of the main hawks of the navy, at first it was only a squadron admiral, Lecco was not outstanding, but it was one of the few admirals of the empire who had the courage to lead the imperial navy and the first naval power of Obaro, the Lanterst Navy. Holding figures,

It was precisely because of that performance that he 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 also lived up to the expectations of his ambitious emperor,

Under his full leadership, the original non-navy, which was just a general defense, was like a beast that suddenly cheered, within 2 years. The number of warships and sailors doubled, and soon showed an aggressive and stern attitude towards the Gaul Empire in the north. Several wars against the southwest of Gaul, the navy all played as an army forward, and the Gaul navy was beaten. Losing his helmet and unloading his armor, he retreated. Lecco also confidently put forward a stunning 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 that time. The voice, that war, was also the most promising occupation of the Southwest in just a century. If it were not for the strong intervention of the Northwest Navy, the superiority of the Imperial Navy in the Southwest was reversed by World War I. This Southwest War can be regarded as a glorious victory!

Three days later, the document from Gangfei was sent to Remchat, who was holding a military conference, and he held the document, which was approved by the Minister of Military Affairs Rubin Sack in red letters. Remchart's eyes were suddenly full of bloodshot eyes, as if he was stunned by the head, his body shook slightly,

The three words of the red falcon army on the report! 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, the other party under the Lisbon Tob is An unsolvable dead end!

"Master, what's the matter? "The general below has a face-to-face look. No one knows that Remchart, who has always been kind, will suddenly become so irritable. It feels like he has just been ignited by fire.

"Sir, the general man shouted a letter from the city wall!" A non-general general walked in from outside with a cluster of arrows tied to the letter. He glanced at Remchat, whose face was blue, and carefully handed the cluster of arrows 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. Entire letter, took a deep breath

"What's the matter, sir! Is this the other's letter of appointment?" asked the general who sent the letter.

"No, it is the general rebels of Lisbonto want to negotiate with us!" Remchat looked up and said solemnly.

"Negotiations? Are the Putuo people crazy?" "The non-general general exclaimed." Do they really think that if they win one or two times, they will be arrogant enough to negotiate with us, and what qualifications do they have to talk to us? The Lisbonto was not captured, but he was still under siege. Although he still can’t overcome it, as long as the army of the empire arrives, even ten Lisbontos are useless!"

"Although that is said, but the reinforcements of the empire do not 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

"Shè went back and told the Putuo people, I agreed to negotiate!" Remchart gritted his teeth, and the negotiation s issued by the other party happened at the time when His Majesty the Emperor was about to return to Kyoto. , Still a very dazzling achievement, faced with this temptation, Remchart cannot refuse

"grown ups....."

The face of General Gang Fei becomes ugly. For Gang Fei soldiers who are used to being arrogant, it is a shame to negotiate with a small principality like Putuo, but in Remchart, the head of the army is blind. Persevere, Gangfei 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 candidates, 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 gloves in his right hand. After entering the city gate, he gently covered his nose intentionally or unintentionally. Because there were ruins all around, I thought that when rì was full of corpses, the heart of Bold was panicking.

The smell here is mildewed and weird, like a moldy apple. The sweet smell of lees made his nose uncomfortable. In the beam of light that shone in from the gap between the ruins, countless white ash marks could be seen rolling down,

Since the unrest in Lisbon, 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 murals in the corridor aisle are stained. Full of dust. On the windowsills on both sides of the corridor, thick dust can drown a pum,

On the carpet that was covered with corpses, you may also see the blood stains left by the rì massacre,

These should be paved in the hall, to show the identity of the guests and distinguished precious cashmere carpets, need one or several wonderful maid. Bend over, lie on the ground, carefully use the delicate white hands, like the little yellow warbler who pecks the rice, little by little, strictly clean the lines along the clockwise direction, that is, a small hairpin is wrong, all It may cause the entire carpet to be imperfect. This is a very laborious effort and often requires the mobilization of many people. Busy afternoon or day to complete,

But now it is war, not to mention careful cleaning, even if it's washing, it's just getting some cloth brooms. First rinse it with water a few times, then clean it up casually, and spread it on the ground carelessly, the beautiful hair mustard of the wool carpet is completely messed up, and it is entangled like a small group of small particles, and the strange smell is emitted from here. Come out, for the Governor of Borde, who is accustomed to the floral fragrance of Lisbon and has a rich carpet, this place is as terrible as hell. These tangled hairballs are like a rift in his heart.

"Listo to Rì no longer exists, and now Listo is only a little better than hell!"

Governor Boulder’s **** is very complicated. Here he once devoted a lot of effort. Under the guidance of several ordinary soldiers, he entered the negotiation room, a long table, and there were four people sitting opposite. Faced with the icy Duke of Putao, and the other is the sorrowful Lord Raphael, there are two people who don't know, but the straight back and the clothing on the body should be soldiers, and Borde's eyes A weapon that floated across one of his waists in surprise,

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. Traces of red, that is, blood rust formed by blood intruding into the gap of the handle

"His Governor Governor Boulder, what do you think of this ruined Lisbonto?" Seeing to make Boulder, the face of Duke Puto became colder and colder." I remember, but the Governor of Boulder said, This 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 general people of this country were killed in this turmoil, because the eastern chaos was the source, and the turmoil in other areas also broke out. 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 command ,

"War is not a massacre of civilians! Look at you for your sake~ lightnovelpub.net~ This city that has been transformed from heaven to hell" Duke Putao gritted his teeth and held his fingers, his joints gurgling. "If it is not a negotiation now, I will definitely order you, the murderer who destroyed Lisbonto, to be hanged"

At this moment, the entire 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 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 face just turned black, 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 is there any way out? The previous two siege defeats have already made me lose the confidence to speak hard at this negotiating table,
