"send troops?"
Junker looked dignified, without concealing his worries, slowly said, "I'm afraid the problem I am most worried about now is born."
"Relax, Juncker."
Sophie stood with a steaming cup of tea in her hand and stood by the window sill, looking out the window.
Although it is only autumn, a chilly weather has been ushered in Siltan County, which is located in the northern part of the empire. Sophie, who grew up in the south, does not seem to adapt to this northern climate. She already wore fox fur With a white leather collar around her neck and a soft white fox against her face, she was very pretty and pleasant, but such a relaxed expression, but it was in sharp contrast with Juncker's worried expression.
"Don't you worry about it at all?" Juncker said solemnly: "Rather than Green ... I think it's time for a real test now. The order sent by the emperor is obviously from the Duke of Minas. Handwriting ... Huh, the South 1uan, the Duke of Minas was ordered to send troops to the south to rebel, and the military order ordered us to send troops to attack the rebels in the north. This is obviously to use us to ease their pressure. Green, you think How would you react to seeing this military order? "
"So what do you mean?" Sophie turned and smiled, looking at Junker: "Do you think it's not a good time to send troops?"
"Of course not!" Juncker shook his head again and again: "You and I are very aware of the current situation of the Northern Army. The reorganization of the army has not been completed. We are still working to restore our vitality. Although we now occupy the land of the three counties, but But it has already suffered a lot of vitality. Our finances can no longer support a war. And ... the military situation is not suitable for sending troops. The reorganization plan has not been fully completed. According to your suggestion, we have carried out disarmament, the North The main force of the army was reduced to one corps, and the rest were incorporated into the guard corps and reserve. Hell, the guard corps will not talk about it. A large number of retired soldiers are put into the reserve. We just let them take off their uniforms and put away their weapons. Let them become farmers again, do they now call for a call and call them back? "Juncker's eyes were very serious:" The only team we can pull out of the war now is the main army. The Guard Corps can only be used as a garrison, and it does not have the ability to attack and field. However, we controlled the land in three counties, such a huge territory. But only by the power of a corps to guard. Once we pull out of the main rebel attack either, I'm afraid other rebel forces around us we will take the opportunity to start. "
"Keep talking." Sophie nodded.
"I do not deny that from the overall strength, especially the military strength, we have a great advantage compared with any rebel forces entangled in the surroundings. But at the same time, it is also our dilemma. We now look like we are strong Lion, but surrounded by a group of fierce hungry wolves! We may be able to defeat one or two of them, but if the swarms of wolves swarm up, it must be us who are torn to pieces in the end. The reason why we got these The quiet time of the month of the Seal of the Seal of God is entirely due to the benefits of the previous Siltan battle to defeat the power of the Odin Red Snow Army. The defeat of the Red Snow Army's power prevented the hungry wolves around from daring to move and dare not come rashly jī is angry with us. But ... if we take the lead in offensive, then we will break this fragile balance! Once we attack one of them, the other rebels will immediately unite against us. "
At the end, Juncker frowned, "There is no consideration of our situation for the imperial capital. They don't care about the survival of the Northern Army. They just want to treat us as cannon fodder, and help them to hold the rebels. As long as we To fight in the north, to attract the attention of the rebels, to fight for a few months, and to win time for them to seal the throne. As for whether we are dead or alive in the end, the talents of the imperial capital do not care! "
Looking at Junker's anxious expression, Sophie actually smiled, she smiled easily and calmly, and looked at Junker: "Did you finish?"
"... That's it." Junker seemed dull.
"Okay." Sophie finally sighed, lowered the glass in her hand, and whispered, "Compared to the military order we face, I am more worried about the situation of the Imperial City."
"Emperor ..." Juncker's two eyebrows tightened tightly together.
"Duke Minas." Sophie said very directly, "Don't forget, when I was in the imperial capital, I didn't talk to this old man a lot. We even lived in his house for a while. The Seal of the Seal of God, no one knows the thoughts in his heart better than me. I am not worried about the military order ... I am more worried about the next move of the old man. Compared with us, the imperial capital is now The center of the storm. "
"Yes, but this military order ..."
"Are you worried about Green?" Sophie smiled.
"Of course." Juncker made no secret of his point: "Although Green was finally persuaded by you. After all, he once ... This military order was obviously the work of the Duke of Minas. He went south to rebel and needed us to be in the north ng out attracted the warlord party, so ... and Green is his old, I can't guarantee that Green will not ... "
"You can rest assured about this." Sophie smiled. "I know people like Green. He may have been shaken before, but once someone like him has made up his mind to decide something, it won't be easy. It has changed. He is indeed the old Duke of Minas, but now that he is the deputy commander of the Northern Army, I believe he will make the right decision. "
Then the smile on Sophie's face was finally replaced by an anxiety: "I'm not worried about Green's attitude, but ... Our General Xia Leiming, have you seen this military order from the Imperial City, have you? Did n’t you notice? Under the military order, the signature is not only the Duke of Minas, but also General Adrik! Do n’t forget, General Adrik is the Minister of War, and he signed the military order jointly. It can be seen that he I also support this order, hoping that we will send troops. "
"You mean, Charlie ..."
"I know a little bit about that guy." Sophie smiled bitterly. "I don't think any king figure might be in his heart. That guy will often be emotional, if he decides this order is also the same. What Adrick means, then, based on his relationship with Adrick, he will execute this order desperately! "
At this point, the two suddenly looked at each other and Sophie laughed: "You know, I have always complained that guy always disappeared somehow for a while-Green probably has a lot of such complaints. But this time "I'm very glad that guy is not there. Otherwise, I'm really worried about what idiot he will do."
Just when the two seemed to have ended the discussion, someone was asking for help outside, and the man was the guard captain next to Marshal Green.
"Master Chancellor, General Green asks you to go immediately, and there is urgent military affairs to discuss with you."
※※※
Although the guard captain did not say what "emergency military service" was, when Sophie and Juncker went there, they thought that Green was asking them to discuss the imperial order for the Northern Army.
Even on the way, Juncker had secretly prepared some rhetoric in his heart. If Green wants to send troops, he will certainly strive for reason ...
But in fact, when the two came to the office of Marshal Green, they immediately noticed the abnormal atmosphere.
Green's office is where guarded soldiers have been closely guarded, and heavily armed guards are as close as the enemy. When Juncker and Sophie entered, they could clearly see the tension on the guards' faces.
Instead of meeting them in his study, Green chose the meeting place in a conference room.
Obviously, the corridor outside the conference hall has been firmly guarded by the guards.
The captain of the lead only told the two that General Green was waiting in the conference room.
Sophie and Juncker glanced at each other. Junker's eyes were a little wary, and he was a little uneasy about this tense atmosphere-was it really Green's backwater? Ready for military change? Take the time to kill yourself?
However, Sophie was as calm as ever, and even smiled kindly to the leader of the guard who led the way, chuckled a few words, asked Green's daily life and diet, and sighed a few words of Green's diligence.
The conference room was an inner and outer two-story suite. When they pushed open the door and walked in, looking at the blocked window, Junker had subconsciously clenched his sword at his waist. It was Sophie who walked calmly towards a door inside.
After opening the door of the room, Sophie immediately saw Green standing beside the meeting room. Green was not wearing a uniform, but was dressed in a light samurai dress. There was even some sweat stains on his forehead.
What finally made Sophie move was that it wasn't just Green who was waiting in this meeting room!
Just in the conference room, a strong man with a tense look sat on a chair. Even if he was sitting, this man couldn't hide his stature, his broad shoulders, his majestic body like a mountain-- Generally speaking, Byzantine people rarely see such a burly man, even Green or Juncker, who is considered to be outstanding among the Byzantines, but compared to this man, it seems a little bit number.
The face of this face is convex, but the nose is flat and collapsed. This is definitely not a Byzantine face. People who are just a little bit of common sense, when looking at such a figure and such features, will easily recognize the origin of the other party!
Obviously, this giant man sitting there is definitely a standard Odin!
The Odin man was sitting there, and his expression was obviously more tense than Junker's. He clenched his fists and seemed to remain vigilant at any time. When Sophie pushed in the door, the man immediately stood subconsciously. When he got up, he clenched his fists as if to make an attacking gesture.
Fortunately, Green immediately walked to his side and put his hand on his shoulder. The Odin man finally sat down slowly and looked at Sophie who came into the door, looking a little bit mí.
"You're here." Green just nodded to Sophie and Juncker, and then signaled them to come in and sit down.
After all, Junker was more cautious. He immediately responded that the things he was about to face must be confidential. He used to play for the royal family. Naturally, he had this experience of dealing with confidential matters. His subconscious backhand closed the door tightly. Then I chose a chair near the door and sat down.
"Let me introduce, this is Lord Sufi, the chief of staff of the Northern Army's brain, General Xia Leiming, and the one next to him is General Juncker." Green said lightly, "The two are the brains of the Northern Army. Is someone you can absolutely trust. "
Then, Green took a look at Sophie and wanted to see even a little suspicious or shocked expression on the face of this young girl-but no, Sophie's expression was calm and calm, and there was no slight smile on the corner of her mouth. Lan Lan, sat down quietly, then looked at Green with a smile.
(This young girl is really calm and terrible.)
Green murmured, then took a deep breath and pointed to the majestic Odin next to him: "This ... let me explain, his identity is a secret to the Northern Army, and I Hopefully, this matter is limited to this room. "
Speaking of this, Green paused for a moment, and slowly said, "This is ... the Odin Empire Black Flag Army, General Hasting's guardian shì, Lord Hill."
Black Flag Army? Captain shì of Hastings?
Su Fei's eyes lightened for a moment, and then she looked more deeply at the Odin person, and immediately a deep and complicated smile appeared on her face. She stood up and bowed slightly: " It turned out to be the warrior beside General Hastings, Lord Hill, and be polite. "
The warrior of Odin frowned a bit, seeming to be surprised by the xìng of Sophie. For the Odin, it is an incredible thing for a woman to be in power. He has his own nose, and is somewhat helpless. The etiquette of the Ding people should come forward and hug, but in the face of Jiao Didi, it is clear that this rough Oding man does not know what to do. He can only perform one etiquette in the Oding army and beat hard After a while, I said loudly, "Hello, I'm Hildo ... Well, please don't call me an adult, we Odins don't have this habit, just call me Hildo Samurai. "
Sophie nodded and looked at Green with a smile.
Green coughed slowly and said slowly: "Let me explain, Lord Chief of Staff, in fact ... our army and the Black Flag Army have always had some ... well, how to say, some contacts. But these, The matter involves the top secret of the Northern Army, so always ... well, there are only five people in the Northern Army including me and General Xia Leiming. I believe you can understand. "
"I understand." Sophie nodded with a smile. "So, General Green has now called us here to talk ... presumably, already think that I and Mr. Juncker can be trusted?"
"You have proved your loyalty to the Northern Army with your actual actions." Green said very secretly, but I believe that the meaning of it is clear to everyone-if you do not focus on the Northern Army group, you will not run late at night Go after Green.
"Thank you for your trust, then, now I am here, what exactly happened, please explain it."
Sophie still maintained a very dignified manner.
"That's the way it is." Green took a deep breath. "We have always been in touch with the Black Banner.
Sophie smiled. Of course she knew exactly what weight this so-called "connection" had! As the "guard zone" in the north of the empire, it has a secret connection with the brains of the elite army that has occupied its territory. Once spread, it will definitely set off a deadly political storm.
Green has looked at Hildo: "Sir, please tell me what you said to me before, Lord Chief of Staff."
Hildo's eyes were still a little skeptical. According to Odin's tradition, women should stay at home to reproduce their offspring, and men should be in charge of everything and charge ahead. After the Odinian tradition, women have always been men ’s appendages—this is also related to the region of the Odin Empire. The Odin Empire is located in the bitter cold of the north. In order to maintain a living, only heavy men have heavy physical labor Competence, which makes men dominate the family and the country.
And seeing this lovely girl in front of him, what is the "master of staff". To be honest, the proud Hildo had a deep contempt for these Byzantine lives in front of him.
However, remembering the heavy responsibility he had and the strict command of the great commander in his heart, Hildo still started his own remarks.
"Our Black Flag Army has historically not belonged to the five major tribes of Odin www.wuxiaspot.com nor is it a direct line of the royal family. When Lord Hastings created the Black Flag, only the Oding Black Water Department initially responded. The Black Water Department The 3,000 men who contributed to this tribe have become the cornerstone of our black flag army! After more than ten years of battle, the black flag army is invincible in the hands of the great commander of Hastings, and the emperor and the tribal noblemen have to face us. Ding Guo ’s internal clan powers are oppressed, and the tribes can only be annexed or enslaved, and only the Hastings can control them. Among the current Black Flag Army, in addition to the Black Water Department, there are also the White Water Department and the Maolin Department. Thirteen tribes of the Kazakhstan have been secretly loyal to Lord Hastings. We are not willing to be oppressed and enslaved by the five tribes anymore, and are willing to unite with Lord Hastings and loyal to the adults. Among the Black Flag Army, 13 The soldiers of the Ministry have occupied more than half of the entire army. We have all secretly sworn allegiance to the Lord, so ... "
Having said that, Sophie suddenly interrupted Hildo's remarks: "Excuse me, you are from ..."
"I am a male from the Blackwater Ministry, and my tribe has multiplied on the Blackwater River in Odin, but ... a few years ago, the territory of my tribe had been annexed by the Basak, one of the five major tribes, and my tribe also Belonged to the Basak tribe ... Well, it is the Red Snow Army Manninger's tribe. Therefore, it can be said that in Odin, my Black Water Department and Manninger are feuds. Your army defeated the Red Snow Army And killed Manninger. I personally admire and admire this very much. "
