I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 94: a pretext for war

Changhu Town, early morning.

A gorgeous four-wheeled carriage came to the gate of the barracks on the outskirts of the city. After verifying its identity with the sentry on guard, it drove straight into the barracks; the sleepy militiamen did not dare to neglect, and dropped the unlocked gate to chase behind the carriage. Running towards the headquarters.

Ten minutes later, the head of the Changhu Town militia, who hastily changed his coat, pushed open the door, and was shocked to find a sullen old man sitting on the sofa in his living room, clutching his hands tightly and soaked by the rain. newspaper, smoking a pipe in silence.

"Speaker Hollande? How could you..."

"How could I come to you at this time - this should be the question you have to explain to me, Your Excellency!"

Before the other party could finish speaking, the angry Changhu Town Speaker stood up abruptly, smashing the newspaper on the floor with a slightly trembling arm:

"Tell me, what the **** is going on?!"

what happened?

The militia commander, who had just woken up, glanced down at the newspaper on the ground, and wiped the lip print left by his bedmate last night on his chest with a blank face: "I...I don't know...I don't know what you are talking about... "

"You don't know what happened? Very good, very good!" The old man laughed angrily, his gray beard and eyebrows began to tremble violently:

"Beluga Harbor has officially declared war on us, and is determined to pacify Longhu Town; what about our militia commander? He is still sleeping with a woman who is not his wife, and even his own soldiers did some work the night before. do not know anything!"

"Beluga Harbor is going to invade Longhu Town?!"

The militia commander was startled and blurted out in disbelief: "Why?!"

"Tell me why!" The old man's eyes were burning, wishing to stare at him directly:

"Your soldiers sneaked across the border at night and robbed a border farm and a passing caravan in Moby-Dick Harbor - that's not the most embarrassing thing, the most embarrassing thing is that they were also caught in the middle, fifty **** Twelve of them died, and the rest were taken as prisoners, and one was sent back to spread the word!"

"But somehow, this soldier didn't tell you this big thing, the captain, or he told you but you forgot - anyway, now Beluga feels that they have been humiliated , intend to resort to war to show their attitude!"

"But it's impossible!"

The militia commander looked at the old man in a daze: "My spy told me that there is no army in Beluga Harbor; their Speaker Harold has stolen all the arms; not to mention Beluga Harbor, the entire Ice Dragon Fjord can't be assembled. Three hundred rifles—what are they going to fight with, hammers and sickles?"

"Really?" The old man raised his brows coldly, got up and walked towards the gate of the headquarters, he was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with this incompetent bastard:

"Then did your spies tell you that Beluga Port has just had a new speaker, and that speaker brought a fleet and 5,000 soldiers from the mainland?"

"If not, I suggest that you quickly fire this incompetent waste and leave a salary, which is very important to you-because you will be unemployed soon!"

"Uh... when?!"

"Now!"

………………

"It's now - not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, just now... Now, Moby Dick must let the enemies who dare to humiliate her hear her voice!"

On the podium of the Beluga Harbor Parliament Hall, Mason Weitzler, whose cheeks were flushed with excitement, waved the "Beautiful People of Beluga Harbor" desperately in his hand. The Lake Town army crossed the border to attack the farm, and the innocent colonists suffered heavy losses."

"Shameless Long Lake Town Council, they arrogantly ignored our last trace of goodwill, they ruthlessly stepped on the benevolence of Beluga Harbor, they are so sure... convinced that the kindness of Beluga Harbor, no matter what Will resort to force."

"Since that's the case, then we have to let them know... they're a big mistake!"

"Beluga Harbour is kind, but she also has the courage and determination to defend her dignity; the brave Speaker Harold taught us with his blood that when dignity and justice are trampled on, you... must stand up!"

"Beluga Harbor...must...stand up!"

On the stage was Mason Weitzler, the "chief councillor" dancing, and offstage were 498 members of Beluga Harbor who were excited and waving the newspaper; they were desperately gnashing their teeth. The corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears.

No way, they were really too happy.

Just yesterday afternoon, Anson Bach officially announced to the Beluga Harbor Council an "alliance secret contract" he signed with Red Hand Bay - the agreement itself is irrelevant, the important thing is the promise given by Red Hand Bay.

Free passage and customs union.

The former gave Beluga Port merchants the power to move freely in Changhu Town and Red Hand Bay, conduct business, purchase real estate, and even preach and establish organizations.

The latter means that Beluga Port can finally dump various manufactured products from the country at low prices to the colonies of the empire, and purchase goods that were originally blocked by the other side's tariff barriers, but are very important to the development of the colonies - such as livestock.

Once this goal is achieved, the two colonies will immediately become a new market for Beluga Harbor, and the biggest obstacle to the development of Ice Dragon Fjord - the labor gap - will immediately cease to exist!

Originally, I was apprehensive about this, for fear that it would bring disaster, the Beluga Harbor Council saw this result and wished to take down Changhu Town tomorrow.

Even this is not the biggest surprise - according to the secret agreement, once Beluga Harbor has solved the threat to Long Lake Town for Red Hand Bay, the other party still has the responsibility to win over the remaining three colonies to join the alliance.

What a huge potential market this is, how much raw material and labor force it is... Compared with these, what is a declaration of war against the empire, not to mention that Clovis has declared war on the empire long ago?

"The bullying Changhu Town... It won't take long for them to realize that the current Beluga Harbor is very different from what we were in the beginning; they will send messengers, with the most humble words and the most hypocritical attitude, to the Beluga Harbor. Express their regret over how it all turned out, and are willing to give Beluga's forgiveness at any price."

"But the righteous people of Beluga Port will never be deceived by their pretentious pretense!"

"She will work with Red Hand Bay, Grey Dove Castle, Winter Torch City, Black Reef Harbor...with all her companions who yearn for prosperity and strength, freedom and justice, trample the greedy and shameless enemies under their feet, and walk towards the light and hopeful Ahead!"

"Let Beluga Harbor, which holds the torch high, sound the first horn of freedom in the new world!"

………………

"I said, isn't this a bit too shameless?"

In a farm barn on the border of the Beluga Harbor colony, Derek, the Wild Hunt knight lying on the straw, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, waving the "Beluga Harbor Good People" to the two companions next to him.

On the poor-quality paper with a strong smell of ink, the crimes of Changhu Town and the innocence and kindness of Beluga Port are recounted incessantly. And it was finally time to endure it.

Is that really so?

Of course not!

As a witness to the whole incident, Derek knew all of this very clearly: Anson found the Faithless Knights in private and entrusted them to find a way to create an "emergency" on the border of Long Lake Town and Beluga Port, and Be sure to get "hard" evidence.

The work was done the afternoon before yesterday, the thing was out last night, and the paper was printed this morning—Derrick was startled when he first got the paper, they haven't reported the intelligence to the commander-in-chief, front page The headlines have already come out, clearly publishing the cause and result of the entire incident. It is terrifying as if everyone's every move is being watched by everyone.

"So where is the shamelessness?" Karno, who was holding a black spear, glanced at him and asked softly.

"Let Moby Dick, who holds the torch high, sound the first horn of freedom in the new world... er." Derek rolled his eyes and made a vomit:

"Obviously it is the gold mine of Changhu Town, and it has to use such a noble excuse; the most ridiculous thing is that both the person who said this and the audience below know this clearly - I'm really curious , they really don't feel at all when they say this..."

"Ashamed?"

"I actually wanted to say disgusting." Derek shrugged:

"Is there anything more shameless than having to pull out a bunch of big truths for one's own selfish desires?"

"Of course there is, and it's not shameless." The leader of the Faithless Knights, Ian Clemens chuckled, flipping through the newspaper in his hand with interest:

"More precisely, in this world, there is nothing more noble than this."

Derek: "...Are you sarcastic?"

"No, I'm serious." Ian raised his head and slightly restrained his smile:

"Just a small border dispute can provoke a war between the two colonies. What does this mean? It means that war against each other is already on the verge of breaking out, and what they lack is really just an excuse."

"Like the newspaper in our hands-even if our mission failed that night, it would still be printed, arousing the anger of the entire Beluga Port against Long Lake Town, and making Ansen Bach logically against Long Lake Town. start a war."

"But because of this excuse, he made a conflict of interests between the two colonies rise to a level related to the freedom and prosperity of the entire new world, and broke away from a narrow vision, making a war that was originally cruel and greedy, with more ambitious pursuits.”

"That's it?"

Derek still doesn't understand: "So the war of shameless greed becomes noble, because there is a more lofty pursuit?"

"No." Ian said without hesitation:

"Because doing so is in the interests of the Faithless Knights - the Crecy family."

………………

Outside Beluga Port City, the barracks headquarters.

Lieutenant Jason Cavalry, who had just finished his patrol mission, received a summons from the legion meeting before he had time to rest. With a confused look on his face, he didn't even have time to drink the freshly brewed coffee, so he rushed out immediately.

Standing in front of the headquarters gate, the slightly nervous cavalry lieutenant took a deep breath while tidying up his collar, and then knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Lieutenant Colonel Fabien's calm voice came from behind the door.

"Yes!"

The cavalry lieutenant pushed open the door and walked into the conference room. He was shocked to find that not only the commander-in-chief, but the entire Storm Division officer corps, including Chief of Staff Carl Bain, were all present, sitting around the long table, staring intently at himself who had just entered the door.

"Lieutenant Jason Fruhoff, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Before the cavalry lieutenant could react, Anson, who was sitting in the main seat, had already said, "You should have just returned from Beluga Harbor, right?"

"Uh... yes!" The cavalry lieutenant was stunned, and quickly replied:

"It is a daily routine to work on duty, and at the same time to ensure that the main traffic roads in the city are smooth, and no vicious incidents occur."

"Very good, have you read today's newspaper?"

"Look...I see...but I only read it after the mission was over! Absolutely not..."

"Don't explain, we don't care about this." Anson interrupted coldly:

"Since you have read the newspaper, you must have known that Beluga Harbor has officially declared war, and the Storm Division is about to dispatch its troops to launch a military operation against Changhu Town?"

"Yes!"

The cavalry lieutenant nodded.

"Very good, because the storm division is about to have an important job for you." An Sen nodded slightly, his expression still serious:

"I have to remind you first that this task is very important, it is related to your personal resume and promotion or not - it is no exaggeration to say that if you can successfully complete the task, perhaps the Storm Division will soon have a cavalry battalion commander. ."

Cavalry battalion commander? !

Jason was shocked all over, the heavy cavalry boots made a loud "crack!" sound on the floor, and the whole person stood upright in an instant:

"The commander of the 1st Hussar Company of the Storm Division, Lieutenant Jason Fruhoff, resolutely completes the mission - and will never let down the high expectations of the entire army!"

Loud shouts echoed in the conference room for a long time, the corners of An Sen's mouth raised slightly with a cold face, and he glanced at the other officers with a relieved expression.

"Your attitude is worthy of encouragement, but what we want to see more is results; other than that, we don't care how exactly you accomplish it." Anson resumed his face:

"Lieutenant Jason Fruhoff, you will go to Red Hand Bay to guide and urge their troops to take the initiative to attack Long Lake Town~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to attract the attention of the enemy and get fighter planes for the main force of the Storm Division! "

What?

The cavalry lieutenant, who was still impassioned just now, was stunned: "Wait, wait... You, you mean..."

"That's right, all the officers of the Storm Division agreed to appoint you as the envoy of Beluga Port in Red Hand Bay!" The corners of Anson's mouth gradually began to rise:

"Given that you had such a good time with that Pete Chatham MP before, and told him all the information about the Storm Division, I think you can definitely make persistent efforts to form a good relationship with the remaining Red Hand MPs. Friend's—this task belongs to you!"

"Uh, no! I... I, I, I... I didn't mean to. He insisted on dragging me to chat with him. At that time, I happened to be a little..."

"Again, I don't care about this!" Anson still smiled:

"The luggage and equipment are ready for you, the ship is in port, and if you set off now, you will be in Red Hand Bay in about two days - if not attacked by storms, tentacles, sea monsters, or imperial warships ."

"And you can rest assured that no matter what, when this military operation is over, I will appoint a cavalry battalion commander, um..."

"Whether he is dead or alive."
