Chapter 596 [Heart Difficulty]

Above the palace, although the fire basin was burning around, the flame seemed unable to disperse the cold air above the palace.

And the cold air wasn't caused by the weather!

Above the temple, Prince Regent Wang Chen looked cold and shady, sitting on the throne, silent.

Downstairs, dozens of heavenly ministers of the Empire gathered together, but everyone was like water. Just because, above that step, a courtroom courtesan is reading an up-to-date newspaper from the front with a nervous voice!

The courtesan's voice would have been bright, but as I read the war paper at this moment, my face was getting whiter and whiter. The voice also appeared to be too tense, and the voice reached the back, hidden some trembling...

“Presentation: On the afternoon of March 31, enemy forces forcibly crossed the river defense, our Storm Legion's 6th Infantry Division, the 9th Infantry Division, the 3rd Cavalry Battalion and the direct heavy engineering regiment stationed in the river defense. The Eastern Fortress's sub-fleet battle river course. Until evening, our fleet was overthrown and most of our sailors were martyred. At night, my battalion of ships stationed at the Eastern Fortress fought the enemy over the river defense, and all 151 of my ships were shot down. None of the 1,043 General of the Air Force survived.

It was the night, the sixth division of our department lost a lot, and the ninth infantry division lost more than 40% of its casualties. Due to the total loss of the fleet, we were unable to seal off the river course or prevent the enemy from erecting a floating bridge across the river. Overnight, until the dawn of April 1, the enemy forcibly crossed the river course and occupied the shallow beach ashore. We were unable to resist and were forced to withdraw from fortress city defense.

In this battle, the Eastern Defense Air Force, the Navy, lost everything. The sixth infantry division, since the division leader Major General Fink, the entire division has 20,9 hundred and twenty-three soldiers, all died in battle! The Ninth Division was damaged by more than 40%, and most of them were injured, and had been ordered to step back and integrate. Approximately 100,000 enemy troops have successfully crossed the river. Chen Bing was under the city. Before sending the letter, the enemy had been repelled three times to attack the city, causing considerable damage! Lieutenant General Dominguez Sincerely, Lieutenant General of the Reich Storm Legion, did not die enough to offset the defeat of the war, then the war in the east was urgent, I was not sorry to die alone, and my Eastern Front General vowed to die together with the city defense.

The strength of the city is quite inadequate, so ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to expedite the reinforcements. If the reinforcements do not arrive in January, the eastern fortress will no longer be owned by the Empire! ”

At the end of the reading, the courtroom ceremonial officer had a cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't help but rub his sleeve twice before taking a deep breath and reading the last sentence: “Commander of the Sen Dong Line, Vice Legion Commander of the Storm Regiment Dominguez was horrified with sincerity and panic, and began his book. ”

Wow, finally put away the war report. The courtroom courtesan also seemed to be a little straightened out. He hurried back and bent down against the Regent. His hands resubmitted the war report.

For a while, the palace was caught in extreme silence, with no one to speak to or even cough. All the Empire's heavy ministers held their breath, the atmosphere dared not breathe, quietly watched the Regent sitting on top, waiting for the king to speak - everyone's heart was full of fear, the next thing is the rage of the Regent's thunder...

This silent scene lasted almost five minutes, and the Regent did not speak. Who dares speak below?

Finally, Prince Chen, who had been sitting there with a frosty face, pulled a little smile from the corner of his mouth - a smile that was naturally not joyful, but infinitely chilly.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

“Very good! Very good! Eastern Fortress, eight Soul Class Battleships, thousands of Navy, killed in World War I! One hundred and fifty airships, a thousand airmen, all destroyed! An infantry division of an integrated imperial main battle regiment, 20,000 people died in battle, even the division leader was martyred, and a main battle division was completely disabled! I hear the accumulated bodies are blocking the river! The river is red and the colours are constant for days! Haha… such a tragic defeat… Ladies and gentlemen, I have never seen the Augustine dynasty since its inception! ”

He looked at Camisillo and said, “Camisillo, you say, even 30 years ago, we and the Northwest Prairie had not experienced such a tragic defeat! ”

Camisillo was tight and, as Secretary of State for Military Affairs, he had to take a step, coughed and said carefully: “Your Highness is right. Thirty years ago, the Empire Expedited the Prairie, a war that lasted almost three years, and the Imperial Army had never suffered such a tragic defeat. ”

“The Eastern Fortress was originally staffed by three main battle divisions, 60,000 local reserves and 40,000 heavy engineers... the entire city had already exceeded 200,000 troops! And now you're calling for reinforcements! 200,000 people, full of grass and weapons, can't even defend a city!! ”

With the last strong drink, Prince Chen slapped the table hard, a cup in front of him was shocked to the ground, dinged, and turned into pieces!

“What is your ministry eating! I hear the enemy has a race underwater! This kind of thing was learned months ago! But why haven't you been prepared to deal with it? Thousands of sailors die tragically, next time tens of thousands more people die, will your ministry start paying attention!! There is also the Air Force... Don't you know that the front line has the kind of troops who fight in the air!! ”

Camisillo was also grieved, but as Secretary of State for Military Affairs, he had to stand here at this moment and bear the wrath of the Regent.

Just watched Prince Chen's anger grow more and more irrepressible, his chest fluctuated, he was in a hurry to breathe. Speaking of the end, he suddenly shook his body and took half a step back. He reached for the armrest of the throne, touched his chest with one hand and coughed violently.

Once Camisillo bit his teeth, kneeling down on one knee, pressing his impatience, he finally waited for Prince Chen's cough to end, and he slowed down: “Your Highness... as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, I naturally have an inescapable responsibility. It's just...”

“Just what?” Prince Chen's eyes were full, he gasped for a while, stopped coughing, and stared cold at Camisillo: “What else do you have in mind? Hmm, I gave you the military, now that you've eaten the defeat, you want to shirk responsibility?! ”

And finally, the chill in that tone came out, and at this moment, the cold eyes made Camisillo have to fight a cold war!

In my memory, it seems that Prince Chen has been around for a long time and has not shown such a thunderous anger side!

Since he took office, he has been a highly unpredictable emperor, easily never revealing his joy and sorrow. During the week, he also showed a generous and tolerant attitude towards his princes.

But don't forget... this Prince Chen is definitely not a simple kind person! He started off with a coup d 'état! He killed his brother, placed his father under house arrest, and took over the throne!

Thinking of this, Camisillo trembled, but tried to calm down, looked up, and looked at Prince Chen. His tone, though respectful, was also a little firm: “Your Highness! I dare not shirk my responsibilities. As the Secretary of State for Military Affairs, I am the most unfavourable member of the Commander-in-Chief's Department against the development of battle plans. There are mistakes. As the head of the Ministry, I am naturally responsible and willing to bear your punishment! But..."

“But what?” Prince Chen Cold Road.

“But…” Camisillo felt herself under the eye of the other side, with a cold sweat on her back flowing down her spine and hard on her scalp: “But this battle failed, for two main reasons, in my opinion! One is the naval defeat on the river! If we lose the battleship and lose the advantage of the water, we will not be able to seal off the river. The river is long but almost defenseless! In this regard, a few months ago, although they had learned that there were underwater races, the commanding officer had been plotting for a long time, but had not come up with a perfect response, and the result was delayed to this day! I'm willing to blame myself! And secondly, the death of the Air Force! ”

Speaking of the tragic white of the Air Force, Camisillo seemed to have a bit of bottom air. He knelt there and his spine was straight. In the eyes of Prince Chen, he shouted boldly: “The Air Force has failed tragically, and this war is even more unusual! With the loss of the river course, we have only lost the defense of the river, as long as it is guarded by the city, although the situation is somewhat inferior, there is still room for salvation, far from the worst. It is the air force's tragic defeat, and the enemy actually has a fighting race that can fly in the air. This affects us the most! The other side has such a power to fly through the sky, to come and go like the wind... so that the Kabaski defense line on our front line, however sturdy it may be, cannot protect the enemy in the sky! If the enemy so desires, their aerial fighting races can easily fly over the front line or even directly into the hinterland of the Empire! Even if it raids Didu, I'm afraid..."

The last sentence was a bit too shocking, but at this moment, I had to say, Camisillo bite his teeth hard, and he said, "I'm afraid it's not impossible! ”

As soon as this was said, many ministers in the hall changed their faces and couldn't help but whisper to each other.

“Shut the fuck up!!” Prince Chen suddenly glanced at him and swept away the look of murder, and the ministers quickly lowered their heads and closed their mouths.

Prince Chen took a step down and stared at Camisillo: "Keep talking! ”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Camisilloton was the first to continue: "After all, aerial combat is a new type of weapon, and aerial forces are the first rivers not found in the millennium of the Empire… No, it should be said, the first rivers in human history! After all, this unprecedented new type of weapon, unprecedented new type of combat concept, has only appeared for a few short years, and this time the Commander-in-Chief officially controls this kind of thing and actually applies it to the war of the Empire. It is only a dozen months old!

After all, it is a new weapon, an entirely new concept. Although the Commander of the Army has many experienced Imperial War generals and many civilian staff, and is familiar with various strategic tactics, after all, no one has come into contact with this new thing before, let alone experience, or even thought of it. As a result, in this short period of time, it will be difficult for the Commander-in-Chief to gain complete control of this new operational concept and to come up with a complete approach to air combat. We are also slowly exploring. Your Highness, I dare to say that a new weapon and concept of warfare of a landmark nature, such as this, is certainly not within the grasp of a year or two or 35 years! It is probably a long process to work out a complete set of ideas and accumulate experience.

So, this tragic defeat of the Air Force is not my shirking of responsibility, but, I think, it is not in the Ministry, it is not in personnel, it is in current affairs! It's not that the commanding officers don't work hard, but it's that... we don't understand! ”

He was telling the truth. After all, it is not really possible to achieve this in the short term if a new concept is to be fully mastered and integrated.

How many years has it been since Dewey created the Air Force, even in his previous life, from the emergence of the first aircraft in human history (1903) to the first air war in military history (1914) to the first large-scale application of the concept of air combat (late World War I)?

How long has it been on the Continent? How long has it been in the military field?

Besides, this is from the Cold Arms War, jumping directly into air combat, this jumping progress, the lack of an adequate basis for military theory of war, so that those in command, even if they want to work, have a feeling that they can't think or do anything about it.

Everybody knows it's good, but how? How can it work? This is not perfect for two days a day.

Prince Chen was silent, he was silent for a moment - after all, he was also a Ming Jun, not a unconscious man, and at this moment he also understood that Camisillo was telling the truth.

“So, what do you mean?” Prince Chen lowered his voice and gazed at Camisillo.

Camisillo took a deep breath: "Your Highness! The impact of the Air Force's tragic defeat on us is not as simple as the defeat of this battle! The enemy's aerial advantage is so great that if they cross the defensive line at all costs, raid the Empire's inner belly, and even raid the Emperor, these are the things that we must pay attention to! I think now that the field of air combat is truly unpredictable, and those enemies seem to be a lot ahead of us in that regard. So..."

“Say what you have to say. I don't blame you.” Prince Chen's eyes flickered.

“So, I've often thought about inventing this new weapon and applying it to the military -- its founder, Lord Tulip, is stunning, brilliant, and impressive! And this new field, and now the defeat of the front line, is not the uselessness of the Air Force, but the uselessness that we don't have. So, I think, I'm afraid, in the field of air war, no one else is competent. I'm afraid it will only work if the Duke of Tulips himself hosts it! After all, he invented this thing, and it was his first military journey! No one else is as good at this field as he is at it. Moreover, the Duke of Tulip has been posing as a man, and in the war to calm the northwest and to reject the tiger wolves of the grasslands outside the Empire, he also has a great military merit and a good minister...”

As Camisillo spoke, he suddenly felt that many of his colleagues around him were throwing all sorts of suspicions and complicated eyes at him, and even the Regent on top looked at his eyes and became more and more obscure.

But at this time, he did not hesitate at all but bite his teeth hard and said generously: “I would recommend the Duke of Tulip, Lord Dewey Rollin Rudolph, to be commander of the Eastern Front of the theatre, go to the Eastern Front to preside over the big game and clean up the erotic battlefield!! ”

Buzz

The last two sentences were loud and clear: everyone in the palace changed colour at once, one by one, and at a time, everyone in the palace sighed and heard each other, and there was a courtesan next to him who could not even stop drinking the old men's arguments.

Recommend the Duke of Tulip to head the line?

Camisillo... is this guy stupid? A few days ago, the royal family had a contradiction with the Tulip family. Even if the King of Regents still missed the past, he left some petition and appreciation for the Duke of Tulips - but now, whether in public or in private, even just to avoid suspicion, the Duke of Tulips is definitely no longer in command of the military power!!

Now, in this case, the Duke of Tulip would be better off just staying in Didu and sharing honestly. Otherwise, once he is in power and still in the military power of the front line, then there will be a suspicion of the monarch...

Everyone thinks that Camisillo must be out of his mind to come up with this idea! And even more so, Camisillo deliberately pushed the Duke of Tulip over the fire and baked it!

At this time, there is no time to hide. If you take power again, it is the way to question!

The palace talked for a while, and nobody dared to stand up and speak. Prince Chen, on the other hand, seemed to sink for a moment. The expression on his face turned into a shallow smile in the corner of his mouth.

For a long time, he raised his hand and drank with dissatisfaction: "What's all this noise! Is this your own ballroom? ”

With his angst, the hall calmed down again.

Prince Chen walked down the steps, but this time he went directly to Camisillo. He stood right in front of him, stood high and stared at Camisillo, who was kneeling there. Prince Chen's eyes flickered, one word at a time, silently said: "Camisillo, you are suggesting that Dewey go to the front to preside over the big picture, aren't you? ”

“… Yes! ”

Prince Chen, as if not enough, took a deep breath and repeated, deliberately deepened his tone this time: “Are you saying that you want Dewey to be commander in chief and go to the front-line army on the eastern front? ”

“… Yes!” Camisillo is sweating, but he bites his teeth: “Yes, that's what I meant. ”

The palace was silent and everyone stared nervously at Prince Chen.

The Regent closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he reopened his dual purpose, there was an unusual light in his eyes, slowly spitting out a word in his mouth!

“Quasi!”

————————————————————————————

After the meeting, Camisillo walked out of the hall and over the Palace Square, but the whole person seemed to have fallen out of place, only to feel his legs floating and soft, even walking unstable. And when the cold wind blows, Cersei trembles on her body, she senses that her underwear has already been soaked with sweat!

Whatever……

He turned back unconsciously and looked behind him at the palace palace, squeezing his fist.

Whatever... my bet is the right one.

But I had to laugh in my heart.

Old Chancellor... What does it mean to teach me to recommend Dewey for military power in public today...

Remember that war paper, I actually read it first last night. Last night, at home, Old Chancellor Robustschel stared at himself when the old man looked serious but did not hesitate and resolutely told himself: "Don't worry, recommend Dewey directly at tomorrow's meeting!"

At the same time, the old man said something too tall to be measured:

“Don't worry, let alone the Regent will suspect you! At a time like this, you openly recommend Dewey to make your 'clear’ look better! And... if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid even if you don't, the Regent will have to put Dewey on the front line for a while. ”

It's true, the old man who's dying, he guessed right!
