Law of the Devil

Chapter 380: The Art of Politics

The civil war in Roland Continent that broke out in the spring of Nine hundred and sixty-four in the Empire caused the Northwest Army, the local separatist warlord that had been a headache for the Empire for many years, to fall apart.

In order to win this victory, the empire paid a total of 14 million gold coins for the war. What caused the empire's military a headache was that after this battle, the Northwest Legion disappeared, and then another controversy arose, that is, whether to rebuild the Northwest Legion in the northwest region of the empire to defend the northwest of the empire. border.

For this issue, a large-scale dispute was launched in the court of the imperial capital. Some people think that there are prairie people outside the northwest of the empire. Although there are some civil strife on the grassland, the prairie people are savage and warlike.

People on the other side believe that the Northwest region now has the Duke of Tulip, and the Duke of Tulip's territory, Desa province, is the border area. The Tulip family already has tens of thousands of private troops, which are enough to take on the important task of defending the border of the empire.

For this issue, the two sides argued endlessly. After all, rebuilding the Northwest Army Corps, such a major event, involves various interests in all aspects. To rebuild a new Northwest Legion, it is natural to promote a large number of senior generals and officers, especially those who hold important positions. How many wealthy nobles in the empire, many of them have military backgrounds, naturally move up and down and try their best It is hoped that this resolution can be passed, and it is hoped that after the reconstruction of the Northwest Army. It can allow members of one's own family to intervene and gain a high position.

The opposing side is a group of imperial officials headed by the Minister of Finance. They insisted that there was no need to set up a main army in the Northwest Territories. As for the prairie people, it is enough to have Duke Tulip guarding the gate of the country. Moreover, the Chancellor of the Exchequer cited a series of figures, indicating that if the Northwest Army is to be rebuilt. The empire's finances will bear a huge burden. And this year, a new Landlord Battle Corps has been established. Another almost extravagant Kaspersky line of defense was established in the north... If it continues, it will be counted as a generous donation from the Duke of Tulip. Then the imperial finances may be in the next few years. will fall into a serious crisis.

"The Storm Legion needs to be supplemented and reorganized. The new "Thunder God's Whip" legion has just been completed. The Kaspersky line of defense is still finishing work...the treasury has no money now! Want to rebuild the Northwest Legion? It's just crazy!!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is above the court. With a blushing neck and a thick neck, he roared loudly at those dignitaries who advocated reconstruction.

What is puzzling is that in this controversy, as the master of the empire. The regent remained silent. Did not show any inclination. His silent performance is even more profound, and there are many people on both sides of the debate. They tried their best to go through various channels. Trying to understand what the regent really thinks. It's a pity that no matter whether they bought the court servants or the officers of the imperial army, the news they got was: let the court quarrel to the sky. But after the regent returned to the palace. Just never mention this question. The only clue is that the regent has been in private in recent days. The mood was so good that there was even news from the palace that someone heard the Prince Regent laughing wildly alone in his room.

Prince Chen is indeed in a good mood. Watching those ministers arguing these days. He didn't really care at all.

It was true that he hid in the room and laughed wildly.

to be exact. Prince Chen is in a very, very good mood now. This good mood comes from a top-secret battle report! !

"A thousand hot-air balloon airships. The high-altitude bombing took less than an hour to disintegrate 70,000 cavalry! The ground attack only lost a few thousand people, and wiped out Lu Gao's 70,000 cavalry..."

Seeing this battle report, how could Prince Chen not be ecstatic?

With joy. He has strengthened his determination to make a big deal out of the air force!

The original air combat troops. So powerful? It turned out that the iron cavalry of the Northwest Army, which was so powerful that the whole continent looked sideways, was under aerial bombardment. Just like a three-year-old child, let the other party ravage him! This advanced way of war. It can be said that the previous rules have been overturned! !

The result of such a painting. Let Prince Chen agree with Du Wei on the plan to build the empire's air force on a large scale. I feel my own foresight!

With such a powerful weapon of war. Two years later... what are you afraid of? ! snort! ! .

As for the two sides of the quarrel above the court. Prince Chen sat on the sidelines and watched, with his intelligence, of course he knew what those high-profile advocates of rebuilding the Northwest Army were thinking about... Hmph, a bunch of idiots fighting for power and profit!

Prince Chen already has a plan in mind for the future plan of the Northwest, but he is still observing it coldly.

Compared with the quarrels these days. Prince Chen is more concerned about two other things now.

The first is the progress of the production of air bombing hot air balloons in cooperation between Du Wei and the military. The empire was in a military forbidden area set aside thirty miles south of the imperial capital half a year ago. A production base has been put into production.

That is the so-called... Well, that's right, what Du Wei advocated before. That name is called "Boeing United Airlines."

That's right. That's the weird name. This is a production base jointly invested by Du Wei and the military. Specialize in the production of large air balloons. And Du Wei generously handed in some hot air balloon production technology. This secret production base, only some core figures in the empire know about this plan. Currently according to the progress reported. Fourteen hundred hot air balloons have been produced in half a year. And Du Wei also wrote to tell himself. The gunpowder has also been produced, and the first shipment will be delivered within a month.

Moreover, Du Wei also specially wrote a plan, which is a set of special training methods specially used to train those soldiers in air combat.

Prince Chen could see the gold content of this item at a glance!

And the second thing that Prince Chen cares about. It is the upstart in the military that I am secretly promoting now, that Alpay...

Just fifteen days after the end of the Northwest War. The quarrel in the imperial capital finally came to fruition.

What is interesting is that during this quarrel. Prince Chen is not the only one who has not made a statement, but the current Acting Minister of Military Affairs. The old Chancellor Robeschel. Also kept silent.

It stands to reason. The military strongly advocates rebuilding the Northwest Army Corps. But as the Minister of Military Affairs. The old prime minister was silent. Undoubtedly, the strong intention of the military did not receive a strong support. Even many people in the military expressed dissatisfaction with the acting Minister of Military Affairs. Think of him as the Minister of Military Affairs—even if he is an agent. It's too unqualified! As a minister of military affairs, he does not seek interests for the military.

No one knows what it is. These days, the old prime minister has secretly reached an agreement with his assistant, Lord Camisiro who was also sent by Prince Chen to gild his side.

Just this day. A piece of good news came out: the old prime minister Rob Schell married the upstart Camisiro. The old prime minister will take one of his grandnieces. Married to the thirty-year-old Kamissiro-sama. This marriage was also blessed by the Regent.

Conceivably. This is an obviously political marriage. Camisiro has been regarded by many people as a future military upstart. And at this time, he married a noble family with a long history, the old Prime Minister Robschel's family. Undoubtedly made the young Camisiro. Got a huge political background. His future. Will be brilliant!

And it's just that everyone can't wait to offer their blessings—whether it's sincere or against their will. Camisiro's mansion was full of guests for a while—at this moment, another piece of good news came from the palace! This article is collected from the w-w-w.1-0-1du. network

The current ruler of the empire. His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Announcing the wedding—again!

Although not crowned emperor. available legally. The title of Prince Chen is already only lower than the king's rank of the emperor. And according to imperial law. Although he already has a regular wife. But he can also marry two more princesses.

And this time. The woman that Prince Chen decided to marry came from an ancient family with a long history in the south of the empire. This family was before the rise of the Augustinian Dynasty. Once upon a time. Although it declined slightly later, its profound heritage made it still rank as one of the giants of the empire.

And this girl who will be the princess of the Regent. At the age of eighteen, it is said that in the aristocratic circles in the south, his fame spread far and wide, when he was sixteen. He has fascinated countless young noble talents in the south, who are good at art and painting, and have a special talent for dancing. What is even more amazing is that this girl is not only versatile, but also said to be a very kind girl—during the snow disaster in the south last year, she donated all her jewelry. Won the appreciation of many people. .

In the aristocratic circle of the empire, this noble girl named Dai Lidi, and Mrs. Liszt's younger sister Angel in the Liszt family in the north. And known as the two beauties of the younger generation of the imperial family.

At the same time, a noteworthy detail...especially a detail that Du Wei will pay special attention to!

This girl named Dai Li, her own brother, was just promoted to the division commander of the Fourth Division of the Royal Guards of the Imperial City a year and a half ago, and performed well in the just-concluded Northwest War, winning Great work - General Alpay! !

After the news came out. It made another sensation in the imperial capital!

The young monarch of the empire married the most famous beauty in the southern aristocratic circle of the empire. People with a keen sense of politics. Immediately think of something! Especially after learning about General Alpay's military exploits in the just-concluded Northwest War. Everyone realizes: I'm afraid this will be the rise of an upstart again! !

Although General Alpay had just led the army back in a hurry, it was his home. There have been more than a dozen batches of guests visiting. Everyone can't wait to try to curry favor with this rising star.

For a while, Camisiro and Alpay, these two names, became the hottest focus in the imperial capital.

Everything is like when Du Wei suddenly rose to become the Duke of Tulip.

These things have diluted the attention of the court to the reconstruction of the Northwest Army. Afterwards, the regent suddenly made his own decision without asking the opinions of any ministers, and issued several orders in one go.

"The first order, in view of the outstanding military exploits made during the war and the great contribution to the empire, to reward the Duke Tulip of the Empire, Du Wei Rudolph, to award the Empire's Outstanding Gold Thorn Flower Medal, the Empire's Outstanding Contribution Medal, and Awarded the title of Countess of the Court (lifetime, not hereditary) to Miss Vivienne, the fiancée of Duke Duvey Rudolph..."

If this order is here, it is still the meaning of the question - after all, Du Wei's credit is placed there, and everyone knows that his reward must be indispensable. These rewards are indeed very thick. But then, the last paragraph of this order made everyone lose their glasses!

"...At the same time, in view of Duke Tulip's illustrious service to the empire during the war, Duke Tulip is appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Northwest Empire, and Duke Tulip is awarded the rank of General of the Empire!"

General rank? ! !

And what is the meaning of the new title of "Military Chief of the Northwest Army of the Empire", a new official title that the empire has never had before? ?

However, what is even more surprising is what lies ahead...
