Chapter 973 (1/2)
In the eyes of these old aristocrats, viscount Gould was just a fortune nouveau riche. More than ten years ago, because he was poor and poor, he sold food outside Huayu plateau. He made a lot of money by joining the line of Yongye army leader. Thus, he was accepted by Lord Christine. The man with height is not only tall but also strong, and his arms are big enough to be ordinary people The legs are thick, giving people the first impression that they are powerful and powerful. However, compared with ordinary people, his face is much whiter. It may be because the skin is tight, there are not too many wrinkles on the face, but only slightly gray sideburns, indicating that he is not young.
If you think he is the Minister of military affairs of the Bryan family, you are wrong. He is the head of the Calvin family, the intelligence Minister of Archduke Christine, who has been in this position for many years.
The short one is just the opposite of Calvin. He is short and thin, with a sharp thin face and slender arms. If he plays a monkey with his tail, he is the Earl of Nichols, the military Minister of the Bryan family.
Zheyi wenyiwu, who is close to Duke Christine, presents this kind of asymmetric differentiation, and there is no lack of jokes about being wrongly identified.
”Why is Sir blocked out? Is it too early? Your majesty is not up yet? ” Asked count Calvin, first.
”It's not that I didn't get up, but I just went to sleep.” Replied Viscount Gould, without expression.
Since the two important ministers of Lord Christine have come, he is not in a hurry. He doesn't talk to the two bodyguards. He completely joins the three ministers promised by the other party. He forgets all the things he went to report immediately.
It's too much to argue with a devoted little man.
”Your Majesty's energy is still as strong as ever, which is really enviable. I will not be able to do it. Every day when it comes to a certain point, I must climb into bed and go to bed. Ah, the good days will never return. If possible, I will spare half of my property in exchange for my return to 20.” Count Calvin's sincere admiration.
”You are as greedy as ever. You want to have both youth and wealth.” ”There is no such good thing in the world,” Nicholas said mercilessly
”The reality is cruel enough. Why should count Nichols expose my little fantasy?” Count Calvin responded to the other party's taunt, and said to the Archduke, ”we do have something important to see. Please go and pass it on. I promise that after the event, your majesty will not blame you. Even if something happens, we will plead for you.”
”Three adults, wait a minute. I'll go.” Those who can serve as guards around Lord Christine are also insightful. It is certainly not a big thing for them to carry out at the same time for the three Court ministers. Once they are delayed by themselves, they are really unable to bear the burden.
The lesser of the two harms.
It seems easier to get up in the face of Duke Christine's getting up.
Not long after the bodyguard entered, he heard several roars and the breaking of glass and porcelain from the depths of the palace.
After a while, the close bodyguard who went in and passed the message with a look of embarrassment stepped out and said, ”three adults, your majesty has already got up. Let the three go in, but your majesty has not had enough sleep, and his temper is a little bit big. The three adults had better choose what is important, otherwise I will have bad luck.”
”Don't worry, I promise your majesty will not trouble you afterwards.” Count Calvin patted each other on the shoulder and made a gesture of invitation to the other two, ”gentlemen, please first.”
”Count, before.”
”After you, please.”
The other two are also a burst of pretentious humility, as if the first to go in, the identity of the other two is the same.
Normally, it is.
But now the situation is special, they really want to let.
Want to let the first person walk in the thunder, bear the rest of the big Duke Christine get up angry.
”What about people? Where did the man die? Bring me wine... ” Soon there was an impatient roar from the depths of the castle.
The three dare not dally at the door again, and they go in hand in hand, ready to bear the wind and rain together.
”What is it What important thing, unexpectedly To have my three chief ministers come together? ” Christine looked at his three Court ministers in a daze.
not only did he not wake up, but he was still sober from his drunkenness, and even though he was far away from his clothes, he could smell his strong wine and perfume.
Perhaps it was the weight of the three in front of him, which was heavy enough in the heart of Lord Christine, and did not continue to be angry.
”I have an accurate intelligence that five or six main battle regiments led by the Yongye army have been assembled on the border, and 100000 troops will kill Gao Yuan at any time. Why haven't I seen your Majesty's response? Does your majesty have to wait for the enemy's troops to come up? Can't we send troops just now Viscount Gould asked in a dignified manner.
”Why should I do it?” Lord Christine yawned lazily, ”I've known about this for a long time. Who said I didn't arrange for it? Now that my military minister, count Nichols, is with us, it is up to you to explain our strategic plan to Viscount Gould, the chancellor of the exchequer, who was absent from our military meeting. After all, if there is a real fight, your army still needs his cooperation in mobilizing military expenses and supplies. ””Yes.” Count Nichols saluted Christine with reserve, and said to Gould, ”it's not a day or two for the leaders of the night army to spy on the territory of the Bryan family. When they defeated the old viper of the Kingsley family, we had expected this day. This is the instinct of each force after the development and growth of each force. If it was Kingsley who took down the Danube plain, it was not a day or two Family, we also need to face the fangs of the old viper.
Not to mention the fact that the Yongye army leader only assembled 100000 troops on the border line, even if it was one million, it would be useless for them to cross the fault mountain. There are our checkpoints on the main channels.
If they dare to let these 100000 troops go to the plateau without any supplies, we don't need to defeat them at that time. We just need to strengthen our walls and clear the fields, and drag them for three or four weeks, so that they will have no return.
Isn't your arsenal unable to obtain the most advanced artillery and musket manufacturing technology of Yongye army leader?
This is our best chance to get started. ”
”The count means that the battle plan you have made is to consciously set foot on the plateau by the army leaders at night, and then cut off their food supply channels by taking advantage of the rugged and difficult roads, so as to achieve the goal of winning without fighting? Are you sure? ”
Viscount Copperfield Gould summed up with disbelief the meaning of the words of count Nicholas, the Military Secretary of the Bryan family.
”Since the Yongye Army leaders have a peep at us, they will not easily give up. Even if we beat them back with geographical advantages, they will not completely give up this idea.
Only by severely damaging their main force can we completely resolve our crisis. If we can seize the opportunity to harvest the most advanced military equipment unique to the Yongye military leader, why not When count Nichols spoke of the battle plan they had prepared, his thin, sharp face rose high, and his pride could not be concealed. It was obvious that he played an important role in the formulation of the military plan.
Viscount Gould had been numb by this time, and a cold cold air rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his forehead, and completely exploded.
