MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 457 谣传和歪楼

The 475th chapter of the rumor and the tower

The 550-year-old calendar was soon arrived. After the New Year’s Eve, Claude did not host a banquet at home, or accepted the invitation of others to go to dinner. Half a month later, he felt that he had a small belly, so he decided to go to the military camp to train the recruits. He also practiced himself by the way. He didn't want himself to grow a fat like Bokal.

The business of cigarettes, Claude, was completely entrusted to the Arik butler. His wife, Kaffney, is already the countess. She can’t go out and toss these things. She usually needs to entertain guests at home, especially the sons and daughters of powerful local people. . Since the mother decided to find a good friend for her brother, Blovik, there are often ladies who come to visit with their daughter-in-law who is dressed up, and even the younger brother Blovik stays at home until the third day of the new year. I ran back to the military camp...

Therefore, Kevni can only be supervised financially. It is really busy to buy a land to build a workshop to recruit workers. All of them are responsible for the Arik butler. Sergeant Kester, as his deputy, only guarantees the safety of his and the cigarette production workshop to be established. Even the old Zarakasen, who is idle, is also transferred by the Arik butler, and is sent to Atura early. Sis directly governed the acquisition of tobacco.

Claude ran to the military camp under the direct control of the port of Vibatato. After three days of staying, the emergency commander of the theater commander sent him back to Lanhu City.

In the end, what is so urgent, and I don’t make it clear in the letter of the Eagles? Claude took the boat and went on the train for five days to get back, and then he heard an unbelievable news.

"What are you talking about? The big prince is dead? He was assassinated..."

It was Bokal, who brought the news. He just confirmed that the news had been swayed for more than a month in the colonies of the West Coast countries. He did not care about going back to the direct battle area to welcome the new night. It is a pity that his efforts were in vain. The death of Hansback's prince was brought to the mainland of Nubsia by some sailboat crews. The strange thing is that no colonial newspaper can confirm the news. Even the death of the great Prince Hansback seems to be a folk rumor. Everyone in the dock pub is relishing and guessing his cause of death, but there is no official news to confirm or refute...

"...There are now seven versions of the death of the Great Hansback Prince. The only certainty is that the time of death and the place of death are the same. At 11:00 pm on September 24 last year, the new account Territory, the original Floridian harbour with the best facilities in the Principality of Modra, the main residence of the city, and the temporary palace of the great prince.

The more reliable four versions all say that he was assassinated, but the characters and reasons for the assassination are different. The first version said that he was robbing the folk beauty to sleep, and as a result, the beauty who was sleeped in the sleep was killed, and the beauty disappeared. The second version is that Prince Wedrek, the loyal king of us, sent a team of magicians to assassinate his brother and the throne's competitors. This version is more convincing.

The third version was because the big prince was defeated from White Lucheng. His generals felt that his future was awkward, so the prince was assassinated when he was drunk, and he cut off his head and prepared to return to the kingdom to request for pardon. The last version said that it was the rebel army of the former Modra Principality. It sent several parents who were killed by the chaos of the army of the kings of Ovilas to enter the city hall as a maid. These maids decided to see the big prince drunk. Revenge for his parents and assassinate the great prince, this version is the most legendary..."

Bok Al spread his hand: "The other three versions are more nonsense, saying that the big prince was seriously injured. It was impossible to evacuate from the White Lucheng to the Floridian Harbour. This is impossible. It is said that Hansback is big. During the day before the prince’s death, he also took people out of the city to inspect the military camp. Before his ministry, he gave a speech that we will make a comeback. How can he ride to the military camp if he is really hurt?

There are two more versions of suicide and fire. Suicide is said that the great prince was ashamed and unbearable because of his defeat. He was depressed and drunk with alcohol. As a result, he was drunk and remembered the dilemma at the moment. He took his knife and cut his own arteries and died. The fire said that the big prince was drunk and took the reel pistol that others had sent him. He accidentally buckled the trigger and went to the fire. He was shot and broke through his forehead and died. These two versions are even more impossible. Some of the big princes are accompanied by the attendants. They won’t let the big prince get drunk and play with his sword...

Because the great prince Hansback and the two princes of Weidek contend with the throne, the kingdom civil war broke out, so it has always been the concern of all countries. In the newspapers of the colonies of the West Coast, there are news and expert commentary articles about the civil war in the kingdom. . The latest news about the great Hansback prince was that he defeated the three southwestern counties in August last year and was forced to evacuate Bailucheng to the newly-occupied Florikh Harbour, and the ruined White Lucheng was reclaimed by the Kingdom’s Red Dragon Army. .

But the strange thing is that after the evacuation of Hansback's great prince to Floridian Harbour, there was no movement. The news of his death was followed by the people, but there was no official newspaper report from the colony. I privately asked the heads of several newspapers. Those people said that they were waiting for confirmation. It was just that the new occupation was easy to come in. There was no news. They did not know whether this was a rumor or a real fact. ”

Bokal has done his best. He brought back a lot of newspapers from the colonies of the West Coast countries. The newspapers about the civil war in the Kingdom of Ovilas and the prince of Hansback were all published last August. The prince led the department to withdraw from the report and commentary of Bailu City. Crowder looked at the publication date of the newspaper. It was the news of November last year, which happened three months ago. This is normal for the colonies of the mainland of Nubbia. After all, it is two continents. There is a vast silence in the middle of the ocean.

Crowder picked up a newspaper and looked at the comments from the experts about the removal of the Great Prince from White Lucheng to the new occupied land. This commentary said that the forces belonging to both the Hansback Prince and Prince Weidek were surrounded by white. Lucheng has been engaged in a tug-of-war for more than a year, and no one can continue to do so.

Therefore, the Grand Prince spent a month to evacuate from Bailu City with ease and took away all of his own people and the families of officers and men. This was actually the result of the deliberate indulgence of Prince Weidelik. Otherwise, the troops surrounding White Lucheng will launch an offensive this month, and the great prince may only be able to retreat. This month was calm and the two sides did not even have a big conflict. This is very strange. It seems that a tacit agreement has been reached.

In the comments, the experts believe that Prince Wedrek should decide to enlarge the three of the kings who returned to the Kingdom of Ovilas in the five-year Eastern War, without being able to eliminate the Hansback Prince and his troops. The territory of a Principality. What to say is that it is also a new occupation of the kingdom. In the case that the kingdom cannot be directly governed, it is much better to let the Hansback Prince build an independent country there than it is cheaper than other countries. Maybe in the future, in the next few decades, the two sides can also negotiate to recombine into a kingdom...

"What do you think?" Claude looked up at the people in the conference room.

General Bologna frowned. "I think this should be a rumor. The great Prince Hansback could not have been assassinated. It should be a rumor that some of the forces that hate the great prince are released. The intention should be to give big The prince adds chaos. If the prince is really injured when he withdraws from White Lucheng, then he must take the injury to prove that he is still alive, so that his injury will continue and will not recover quickly. ...."

General Scrim shook his head: "No, I think the assassination of the great prince should be affirmative, even the fact that our King’s Majesty sent someone to assassinate his eldest brother. This is the most likely thing to happen. Otherwise, it will not be in those rumors. So clearly pointed out the time and place of the occurrence, it is clear that the assassination of the day shocked the people of the entire port, the movement is too big to cover up, so there will be rumors that the big prince has been assassinated.

The Floridian Harbour is the largest and most well-equipped port city in the Principality of Modra, so ships heading to the mainland of Nubsia like to park there to rest or purchase supplies. I think it should be that the sailors and crew on the boats that were parked at night saw the assassinations that took place in the city’s main house or the movements that made them happen, so I went back to the slaves in the Norwegian mainland and started to show up with a few glasses of ale. This assassination event.

However, I agree with General Bologna that the great prince could not be assassinated. If there is a real assassination, then the big prince is also wounded and will not be killed. This is because the rumors of unrecognized news have become official reports. The prince’s troops should have imposed martial law on the Floridian harbour to find the assassins and their associates, so the reporters of the newspapers were restricted to the scope of activities. The message could not be conveyed..."

General Scrim’s speculation was more reasonable, but General Eblon’s words immediately shifted the way people thought about the outcome of the assassination, or it could be said that they had succeeded in smashing the building.

General Alberton said: "I am not interested in the death of Hansback's great prince. He is not our loyal monarch anyway. Whether he is assassinated or not has much to do with us. What makes me wonder is that since August last year The Great Prince and his own troops have withdrawn from the White Lucheng City, so the sea passages of the Kingdom and our overseas direct jurisdiction should have been unimpeded.

But why is there a five-month period from August to the beginning of the new year in January, and there is no sea boat in the kingdom that arrives at the territorial war zone to tell us the news? I don't believe that such a big kingdom can't find an ocean-going ship. Even if it is busy after the war, two or three months should be enough for them to clean up the battlefield. But now that no sea boat has come, I really want to know if the kingdom has forgotten our overseas direct jurisdiction...."

Yes, Eblont said that everyone thinks about it. The newspapers have published news that the Grand Prince had left the White Hart City in August last year. The Red Dragon Army then regained the White Lucheng City. Then why did the kingdom arrive? Now, I have not sent a sea boat to restore contact with the overseas direct military territory. Is there any eccentricity?

General Beechklin said faintly: "It is obvious that the kingdom does not want to carry the burden of our territorial war zone now, because our colonial war with the Hicks did not give the final result. The kingdom if this will be sent When people come over, they will probably receive a lot of requests for military support from our theater.

Therefore, they can only pretend that they have forgotten the overseas direct jurisdiction, and that the direct control zone and the Hicks have won the game. With the final result, the kingdom will immediately send people to receive the power of the theater. They want the direct jurisdiction. The wealth that is led, not the welfare subsidy, is brought to the municipality. Perhaps for our theater, it’s better to be in contact with the kingdom than to contact us..."

This is more worrying, and Crowder looked at General Beechklin with amazement. He didn't expect him to look so thorough.

When General Scree came to Field Manor before the second day of the New Year, the two men drank too much of the problem of staying in the study room and talking about the future of the theater and the future of the five generals. General Scri's view was more pessimistic.

He said that after the end of this colonial war with the Hicks Kingdom, re-engagement with the kingdom meant a major reshuffle of the war zone. If the Hansback prince wins, perhaps the overseas governor can still survive for a while.

After all, the direct war zone is loyal to the Prince of Weidek, and it is possible to continue to fight against the great prince for this reason, until the great prince takes the true sincerity of negotiation and forgives the disrespectful sin of the war zone, then the overseas governor will return to the kingdom. Layout.

If Prince Weidek wins, then the war zone will be miserable, because what is done now in the territorial war zone is a big act against the kingdom. Whether it is the establishment of an overseas Minsheng Bank, the expansion of the army or the opening of the military industry, it violates the Kingdom’s restrictions on the economic development and military power of overseas direct jurisdiction.

For the kingdom, the overseas direct jurisdiction is the collection place of resources, the harvesting field of wealth, the dumping place of commodities, and the kingdom has never regarded overseas direct jurisdiction as the kingdom of the kingdom. Therefore, it is not hoped that the overseas direct jurisdiction will have the strength to resist the kingdom. ....

Everything that the territorial theaters have done now runs counter to the original intention of the kingdom, but for the war zone, all this is a choice that has to be made. The kingdom’s native civil war has lost contact. In fact, even if there is no civil war in the kingdom, it is impossible to provide sufficient support and assistance to the territorial war zone.

In order to defeat the Hicks Kingdom and safeguard the territorial integrity of the Kingdom’s overseas direct jurisdiction, the territorial war zone can only develop the colonial economy and obtain sufficient war funds and military supplies to win the colonial war.

Even if the five giants of the war zone have preserved the integrity of the overseas direct jurisdiction and maintained the honor of the kingdom, after the end of this colonial war, whether it is the Hansback prince or Prince Weidek, no matter who is on the throne, as long as the kingdom is re-established The restoration of the rule of the overseas direct jurisdiction, then wait until the fate of the five generals in the theater is exile and idle, unless you are unique in your own rebellion, you can not avoid such a fate.

Perhaps the only one of the five generals in the theater who will rebel is Claude, and General Scriley’s outspoken words scared Crowder. Why do you think so? Crowder was not convinced and asked.

"It's very simple. First, you are the youngest, the most prosperous, and can't stand the wrongs. Second, you have the highest prestige in the army, whether it is the Thunder Corps or the Rock Corps, and the theater command, in military training and this colonial war. Basically, you have the final say. The third point is the most important. You have always lacked the awe of the Sterling royal family, so you will resist the unfair disposition, and we will only accept the punishment of fate."

General Scree said this at the time, and then he analyzed the remaining four generals, including himself. General Bolognik is a traditional and regular soldier. He accepts the traditional education of loyalty and patriotism. He maintains awe of the royal family and will obey any unreasonable and unjust orders issued by his superiors. Although his wife and children are here, his family still lives around Wangdu. His parents and brothers and sisters start their own farms and take pride in him. He can't give up his relatives.

The family and family of General Beechklin have moved to the direct jurisdiction, and he does not have much scruples. But he has always been in good contact with General Bologna, with General Bollonic’s head being a leader, so General Bologna’s choice is to go in the direction of General Beechlin. He would like to accept the kingdom's disposal of him like General Bologna.

General Albert is also a traditional soldier. Unlike General Bologna, General Beechling, he uses words to vent his dissatisfaction. But he did not dare to take the initiative to resist, even if the grievances are louder, there will be no actual action. However, if Claude takes the lead in rebelling, he may be the first to keep up. General Albert needs a boss who can support him and can rely on his thigh.

As for General Scree himself, he also said that he is not a leading talent. The only thing he has made is that he is responsible for the logistics and management. He has no military power in his hands and has the least threat to the royal family. Perhaps he is better at winning a wide conference. the result of. If the great prince is on the throne, he may be able to put him in the old situation. If Prince Widler came to power, then there is nothing to say, waiting for General Scree must be exiled and idle.

When Claude woke up the next day, he vaguely recalled the private conversation between General Scree and himself. It was a good day to ponder for two days. What does he mean by these words? However, in the following days, General Scree was normal, and he said that he said it was a venting after drunkenness. Unexpectedly, I heard that General Beechklin also said this today.

General Bologna’s face was a little black, and he should have understood the true meaning of what General Beechklin said. After sighing, he rebuked: "We are now discussing whether the news of the murder of the great prince is true. You both said where to go. The kingdom of the kingdom was smashed by the civil war and did not read the newspaper. Is the White Lucheng ruined? The Grand Prince’s evacuation will definitely take away all the ships. The king’s side will not find the sea boat to inform us. I believe that we will be able to resume transportation with the Kingdom in a few months. Up..."

Crowder shook his head, and General Bologna’s words were also arrogant. He patted the table and said to the people present:

"If there is no ship on the kingdom of the kingdom, then we take the initiative to send a letter. Isn’t there a few oceanic battleships of the former Storm Fleet that are in the port of Bicchus directly under the jurisdiction of Tilsim? We have not enough funds in our theater. Provided to the Navy to restore the storm fleet, now White Lucheng is regained, we can just let those warships return to the Kingdom.

Let the battleships of these storm fleets return to become the maritime power of the kingdom. By the way, let our messengers send the report of the theater to the kings, hoping that they can give us some military support in this colonial war.... ."

"Claude is right. Since the route is open, we will take the initiative to return to the kingdom. Anyway, those navies let them join our direct jurisdiction to form a cruise fleet and are unwilling to let them out to **** and patrol the offshore area. If we want to pay for it, is it the Kingdom of the Navy or the armed fleet?

Now just use this excuse to let them roll back to the kingdom of the kingdom, and avoid asking us to give them the money to build a warship to restore the storm fleet. Do not think that it is our theater to intervene..." General Scree cheered loudly.
