Chapter 51 Daugava River Line of Defense [3]
"General, here is an order from Tamsalu, the capital of the country. Please have a look." John, the captain of the first brigade of the Magician Legion, gave the parchment in his hand to the motoring. As the commander of the 11th army, the motoring at this time was really under great pressure. Although it has begun to deploy the Daugava River defense line, the army here has to run on two legs after all. Without enough arrangement, it is indeed difficult to deal with the Northern Legion of the Roma Empire that far exceeds its own.
Although the 7th and 10th Legions have gone to the Daugava River Basin and have also strengthened the fortifications of the two cities in Pravinas and Livani, even 40 magic crystal cannons secretly transported by govian airships have arrived here. There is no doubt that Tiger. His Majesty the Grand Duke of Haus will not give up the Latvian region at all. Even if it's a battle, make Alex lose a thigh! This is Boss Ma's determination and decisiveness. At this moment, in the north, the tide is surging and rolling, and it is definitely not just the confrontation between Ma Hu and Alex. Although, the two have never met.
It is sloppy to face and will definitely deal with it. Naturally, it is the threat of the Slavic Empire and several other countries in the northern Scandinavian Peninsula. The threat of the Scandinavian alliance made sloppy in the deployment of the navy and did not dare to devote all his combat power to the Latvian battlefield. As his staff said, the staff had long determined that a battle against Latvia did not require so much military strength. However, sloppy still did that, not a beastly sense of smell, but because he was always preparing for the worst. He has considered the worst thing, that is, if someone wants to make trouble in the Roma Empire, he is the best foil.
Latvia is a fuse. It will definitely fight a war. Even if it is just a three-month battle with each other, it will definitely be a battle.
"Well... It seems that the problem is not just the battlefield." Madaling touched his beard, and a trace of fine light flashed in his eyes. At this time, he was under heavy pressure, which was not the pressure of the Second Army Gang Liluo at all. It is very simple for the army to suppress the riots in western Latvia. Even Totti, an asshole, has thought about how to rectify the whole of Latvia, and nearly 100 civilian officials under his rule have been pulled out. Many academic figures from the north have also been transferred, and some teachers who teach in the school have also been temporarily transferred to Latvia to become temporary local officials. And what they have to do is to promote the kindness and tenderness of the Grand Duchy of Norman.
For many civil servants, this is indeed an opportunity, if according to Tiger. House's usual greedy temperament, so there is no doubt that the cake of Latvia will not be let out. Even if the envoys sent by the Roma Empire negotiate, there may be no result!
"The matter planned by His Majesty is so long-term. It seems that our defensive stage will also affect the political layout of the entire Roma Empire. If nothing unexpected happens, at the end of this year, it should be the peak of the power struggle for the whole Roma Empire. Although Madaling was vulgar, when he came to the position of the commander of the army, he also began to use the overall vision of the superior. What he saw in his eyes was already different from what he used to look. Madaling's majestic body stood up and said to more than a dozen deputy generals under him, "The majesty and glory of the duchy are encouraged by all of you!" The victory of the Daugava River is bound to forge the glory of brave people like us!"
With a sound!
More than a dozen strong men stood up. These soldiers were brave and courageous, and they were all strong men. At this time, they listened to the instructions of the commander of the Ma Daring Legion. Suddenly, their blood was boiling and they stood straight, making the magician captains beside them awe-inspiring. Such a murderous spirit is only on the army generals on the front line. Only then will you have it.
"I would like to die for His Majesty!" The captains and captains are solemn. Obviously, the defense purpose of the Daugava River has become more and more simple. Some people have said that war is a continuation of politics, and now it seems true.
Since Prince Ursula, a hidden villain, approached Ma Hu, it seems that the confrontation between Ma Hu and Alex will affect the public opinion trend of the entire Roma Empire in the imperial capital of the empire. If Alex defeats, his strength will definitely be greatly damaged. At that time, the other three princes, even including the prince, will certainly confirm the title of Alex's King of the North. At that time, he may be just a prince of Minsk, not a direct heir to the throne. If he is defeated, then perhaps his military power in the Northern Legion will also be forced to be handed over. The pressure at this time is not just a time to compete for gains and losses. I'm afraid Alex himself knows this, so he can't bear it for a long time. Waiting is nothing more than an opportunity.
And his staff also saw through this.
Isido's mind is very clear. He uses his conspiracy very well. The person who uses the general trend to oppress Alex to take action and deal with it is not Ishido himself, but Tiger, who is also a headache, the leader of the Northern Barbarians. House. This is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone, which makes people prevent it carelessly.
But it seems that there are loopholes in Isido's thinking. Who knows that the Pope of the Holy See can no longer stand that kind of humiliation? Moreover, the North Archbishop of the Northern Diocese of the Twelve Archbishops has completely lost faith in the diocesan rule of the northern countries. In his letter to the Holy See, he wrote: This is a group of barbarians who believe in pseudo-godness, power, conspiracy, violence and even barbaric race. They abandoned the faith of the Lord and were also abandoned by the Lord. They desecre the noble holy light. These pagans will only show ferocious blood-red eyes, stare at the front, and lick their lips greedily, like stray wild dogs. For the sake of a little benefit, they can start a fight...
This letter is not very meaningful, but it gives Pope Paul I a signal that one of his twelve dioceses is obviously going to be lost.
And the culprit is the unsendable northern barbarians, Tiger. House. This ice tiger has lost the power of the church to the extreme in the north. Just 20 years ago. Cole is also a headache, but he did not publicly show his contempt for the church. But Tiger. What did House, the bastard, say? He actually said: Fuck God, that's just an idiot who eats stinky shit!
This is really a tragedy. I'm afraid that Paul I's anger has already filled his whole body. He can't make any concessions at all. At this point, he has been forced into a desperate situation. Yes, he has no choice. If he continues to choose to give in, I'm afraid that the other eleven archbishops will be chilled. It is very difficult for a diocese to gather the faith, but it only takes a disheartened act to break it.
"Now, on the front of the Daugava River, there are 50,000 troops. Judging from the position of the deployment, no matter from which node is attacked, you can gather troops from three or four other places to reinforce the attacked nodes." He looked at the defense map coldly, "Since it is a defense, it is natural to be beautiful. The intelligence must not be broken. Let those dwarves also prepare. If they can obtain equal rights, they have to pay some obligations. I need their help."
Although those dwarfs in the coastal areas of the North Sea only live in the mountains, they have good ability to hide in the wild, and they are so powerful that they can often knock down two or three ordinary human warriors. Such a soldier is obviously a very suitable scout. Sometimes, you have to make some efforts to get a reward. And several tribal leaders of the dwarfs also understand this. Since the Grand Duchy of Norman can do so, it is necessary for them to show sincerity.
The dwarfs have also seen the tarew's living standards improving every day. They no longer have to worry that cattle and sheep will not eat after dying in the snow. The tarew who learns to cultivate is more than double their survivability than before. Children and teenagers also begin to learn words, although the games they play every day are shouting "Destroy them!" Down with them! Kill them!" Playing the game of army war, it will always be the best little guy to play Tiger. House's character, imperceptibly, the beliefs and culture of a race are undergoing earth-shaking changes, and no one seems to realize this. I'm afraid that only Boss Ma himself knows this sinister method. No one in the world will understand what brainwashing is.
"Alex's army has never launched a large-scale battle. It seems that they are also very careful. As for the purpose, it is unknown. But anyway, it's really a uncomfortable thing. Shahili held his chin with one hand and looked at the defense map. Suddenly, he thought of an idea and asked, "Do you think it's possible for Alex to give up the attack and continue to fight for Rom's power because of the intervention of a certain force?"
When Ma Hu heard Shahili's speculation, his heart trembled and said seriously, "Alex has a reason to do this. Indeed, if he suddenly breaks out and unknowingly pulls the army back into the country, if he suppresses those royalists with the status of Prince Minsk and the heir of the empire, then Maybe it will succeed. Once the power center of the Roma Empire is controlled, even if other princes or princes want to toss around, they can't turn up much. After all, in legal terms, the eldest prince is the first choice for the successor. Although Frank I did not set up a crown prince, it was the most telling one.
"Nowadays, in Roma City, I'm afraid it's divided into two camps. The eldest prince Alex is a faction of his own, and the other three princes should be united to deal with Alex. Maybe if you are not sure, after knocking down Alex, the rest of the people will continue to fight. Sahili said coldly.
The people in the hall nodded unconsciously. Indeed, this is indeed what often happens in an empire. The struggle for power is far more tricky than what Sahili said. Today is the alliance, and it is likely that there will be a competition tomorrow. This is the charm of power.
"In any case, as long as the Dougava River defense line is consolidated and given us half a year, it will be enough to make Latvia the second Grand Duchy of Norman. The whole territory expands and has a base of more than 10 million people. We don't have to worry about fighting with Slavs and even Roma in the northern regions! Half a year, whether it's long or short... It's not short. Ma Hu sighed, and the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.
