Chapter 127: Stormy Snow (1)
Unlike the Wilt Free Alliance, after the Ultraman Empire received the news, it was a celebration for everyone. Even His Majesty, who was sick all day long, came out in great spirits and awarded honors to Marshal Zotra and other officers who made contributions to this battle. It was a medal specially created to commemorate the second consecutive victory of Silver Capital.
The people were so proud that their country's army defeated the five ace legions of the great power of the Wilt Free Alliance in one day! When did the Imperial Army become so powerful? But it doesn't matter. Anyway, with such a powerful army protecting it, you can definitely live with peace of mind.
The army immediately rushed to fight. Now they already felt that they were the best in the world. They walked with great power, and looked at people with their heads raised and their eyes were squinted.
Of course, the nobles were not to mention it. While swearing to the emperor and the army, they all wanted to go to Yindu’s mining rights while surrounding the imperial prime minister.
However, some nobles who had the mining rights last time wanted to cheat and directly continued the mining rights, which would of course be opposed by the entire nobles.
Although these cheating nobles are very noble, they are just a little bit of people. Compared with the entire aristocratic class, they are just a cow hair. The Prime Minister, who holds the right to approve mining, also opposed it, so everyone had to do it again and compete for mining rights.
His Highness, Prince of Ultraman Empire, Vien Lairhart, is excited now. The Prime Minister called him away and handed him a mining right. This is the first mining right this time. But unfortunately, before he could express his gratitude to his uncle, he was invited out by his uncle and Prime Minister.
Excited, in addition to being excited, you should know that this is a standard mining range of ten square kilometers. Don’t underestimate these ten square kilometers. You should know that the entire silver is a rich mining area, which means that the entire ten square kilometers are silver mines.
When Prince Weiyin thought of owning a silver pile worth ten square kilometers, he was so excited that he tossed his concubines hard. As soon as the mining rights were taken down, Prince Weiyin took the concubines' jewelry to a pawnshop to mortgage the loan, and then used the money to hire a large amount of workers.
Weiyin was very grateful to the silver mine. As soon as the mining rights were taken, Weiyin found that he was not only physically and mentally strong, but also had a much better relationship with his concubines.
You should know that in the past, I used to steal jewelry from my concubines to buy them, but I didn’t cry in front of me. But this time, my concubines came to my door automatically before I could speak, but I asked to buy something better for them in the future. Of course, this doesn’t matter. Anyway, I have money, so I can let them buy anything.
However, the only thing Viin felt uncomfortable was that Marshal Zotra made such a great contribution and had a higher reputation. It can be said that among the people, the army, the nobles, and in the entire empire, no one has a higher prestige than him. Neither his father nor the prime minister can compare with the Marshal.
However, this kind of thought can only be thought about in my mind, and I can't even reveal my own concubine.
You should know whether you can obtain silver mines or the marshal's victory. What you dare to say will definitely make people think that you are ungrateful! Once you have this reputation, you must never want to be an emperor, because no one will be loyal to an ungrateful person.
No one knew that after the Marshal and others happily received the medals, the Marshal returned to the Marshal's Mansion and faced the main officers of the Marshal's Mansion, the Military Department, and the Intelligence Department, their faces were extremely difficult to see, and these officers who called the wind and rain all lowered their heads.
The marshal slapped the table with a blue face and shouted: "Damn it! The Feimu Banner Allied forces dispatched a million troops to occupy our empire's Wenbei Province! A province completely fell into the hands of the enemy country, and the empire's Marshal's Office and military headquarters did not respond at all!
"What are you doing? Ah! If the Intelligence Department had not found out that the situation was wrong and blocked the news and let the public know, would we still have the face to meet people?"
Hearing the marshal's words, the other officers' heads drooped lower, and only the officers of the intelligence department straightened their waists slightly.
The marshal continued to curse: "In comparison, what is the victory of the Silver Capital War that we have won? We must know that our opponent, the Alliance Army, is all sent by a bunch of waste! Just capture the prisoners and arrest millions of people! What is there to be proud of to defeat such an opponent?"
The marshal was so angry that the damn guys below didn't care when they received the report at first. They were panicked when a province was completely occupied. But at that time they were in the preparation period for the Silver Capital War, they had to block the news helplessly.
"Marson! All of this was caused by the negligence of the 20th Legion. The regular legion with more than 400,000 people was defeated by a million herd flag soldiers!" An officer in the military who might have had a conflict with the commander of the 20th Legion said with courage.
"That's right! The Twentieth Legion did neglect its duties, but the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Legion garrisons nearby also violated the military rules of not saving them. Otherwise, how could a single million nomadic cavalry defeat the more than one million people? The subordinates thought they should be held accountable!"
Another military officer who might have conflicts with these legion commanders stood up and said, of course, his expression was filled with righteous indignation, and he was simply a righteous patriot.
The marshal suddenly stood up and slapped the table and shouted, "These damn guys! Crazy! It makes me sicker than the prisoners of the Free Alliance! Lewinsk, write the order!"
Lieutenant Colonel Lewinsk immediately picked up the pen and paper, and while listening to the command of the marshal, he wrote: "The chief officers of the 20th Legion Brigade and above were neglected and all dismissed from their posts and investigated. All other officers of the school level and above were suspended for review! Eighteenth Legion, the chief officers of the 19th Legion refused to save them and were discharged from their military posts and immediately retired."
After Lewinsk finished writing the order, he handed over the order. Zuotra took out the marshal's seal and stamped it on it. Then the order was transferred to the important military officers.
Although this order does not explain why they neglect their duties and why they are not saved by death, nor does it indicate what losses their actions have caused. It is not a formal order in terms of format and does not require a military seal at all.
But everyone knows that this can only be covered up. The Imperial Army, which defeated the five ace armies of the Wilt Free Alliance in one day, actually allowed a province to be completely occupied by the nomads. Isn’t this a slap from those of themselves? So it cannot be made public, and it must be dealt with quickly and strictly.
The important military officers who understood this did not say a word, and the military seal and the military command seal were immediately stamped. The three military seals could not be changed unless His Majesty the Emperor rejected them.
Seeing that order was sent out, all the officers' eyes shone. All the officers at the school level and above of the 20th Legion were in trouble, especially the chief officers above the brigade, all entered the military court, and all the chief officers of the 18th and 19th Legion were retired.
Remember, this is the commander of the brigade army, not the commander of the brigade commander. One word is missing to mean the commander of the brigade army, deputy commander of the 20th Army, chief of combat staff, chief of brigade logistics commander, commander of the brigade army military police commander, and commander of the brigade army military police commander. The commander of the 18th Army, deputy commander of the 19th Army, chief of combat staff, chief of the corps logistics commander, and commander of the corps military military police also retired.
Think about it, how many real power positions are there! The youngest ones are at the brigade level, and you have to compete for your confidants.
Seeing the glowing eyes of these officers, the Chief of Intelligence of Ultraman Empire, Turaier, Earl Kuzuo, of course, understood what these officers were.
He did not want to waste time in these aspects, so he couldn't help but speak out and reminded: "Your Excellency, the official thought that now we should send troops to eliminate these nomads and restore our territory when the news can still be covered up."
"Yes, this problem should be solved in the shortest time." The Marshal nodded in approval.
The officers also knew that this was the problem that they had to solve first, so they didn't say anything. At least they would have time to find someone to plan which positions they needed to compete for.
"I won't participate in this battle."
As soon as the marshal said this, all the officers were ready to go. After all, if the marshal did not participate in the war, his greatest contribution would be to those of him.
The marshal was too lazy to pay attention to his subordinates' winking and continued, "Draw a brigade from the ten elite divisions in the imperial capital garrison area to form two divisions, and from the eighteenth and nineteenth legions to form eight divisions. If the forces of the two legions cannot solve the millions of herd flag soldiers, I will disband them all!"
After that, the marshal became angry again.
"Uh, Mr. Marshal, who will that commander appoint?" an officer asked courageously.
"The candidates for the temporary division commander and the legion commander shall be selected by the Marshal's Office and the Military Headquarters. You will decide who to choose. After conquering the country, you will be sent to the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Legions as officers according to the size of the merits." The Marshal said that he knew the mentality of these people under his command. Since you want to fight, then fight with your ability.
The officers who were smiling and were selecting the target in their minds heard the marshal's words: "But remember, if the person who went to lead the troops, be loyal to His Majesty if he was defeated." They were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat.
Everyone thought to themselves: "If you defeat, you will commit suicide? Oh my god, I want to send my son to make some credit. This is not possible. You must choose a talent who is both your own and capable."
Earl Tulaer Kuzuo asked with a frown, "Your Excellency, it's nothing to draw troops from the 18th and 19th Legion, but is it a waste of time to draw troops from the Imperial Capital Garage Area? It will take more than a month to reach the border from here to marches."
"Hmph, I will launch a counterattack in more than a month. I believe you know what the prairie looks like in more than a month. I want these herd flag soldiers to have a home and cannot return!" The marshal said viciously.
Earl Tulaer Kuzuo's eyes immediately shone. As the chief of intelligence, he knew very well that by February, the prairie was snowing all over the sky. It seemed that these herd flag soldiers were dead!
In the prairie, Cons and others knew that they were in the Pegasus land, so they hurried out without even having to rest. Cons and the others dared not walk back, but there were tens of thousands of cavalry waiting to die.
Unfortunately, they were chased for so many days and there were no references around them, so they ran into each other like headless flies for a few days and found that there were grasslands everywhere. They didn't know whether they had left Pegasus. They had to stop and concentrate on preparing for the winter.
Cons used his sword to cut down the grass and bushes, almost eradicating the green of a few kilometers.
When it was only one day before the cold day, the clear sky completely disappeared, the sky became gray, and the cold wind blew from all directions. Almost instantly, the temperature dropped a lot.
The unused wool sweater was immediately turned out and wrapped around her body. The number of wool sweaters was 2,000, and each person had more than one.
Chapter completed!
