Of course, Carl didn't really understand the contents of the letterhead; as a veteran with many years of experience in taking the blame, he had already guessed it the moment he saw Anson's expression.

so what?

No matter how cruel the reality is, it has already happened; since no matter how much you don't want to accept it, you can't change the result, acquiescing and trying to make it worse, is what this unfortunate destined to blame must do.

"To put it more bluntly, I'm used to it." Carl, who was slumped on the sofa, patted Anson on the shoulder, and the cigarette at the corner of his mouth flickered: "And to be honest, they have been very polite this time."

"Are you polite?" Anson looked at him in surprise.

"Too polite!"

Carl nodded, his serious expression didn't seem like a joke at all:

"Think about it, although that lady Sophia wrote the letter with a 'password', how did she know the truth? Archbishop Luther, and the high-level officials of the Privy Council, if they really want to hide a little girl Baby, is it possible that it can't be done?"

"And William Cecil, although the Cecil family chose to stand on the side of the native land, didn't the ally you tried so hard to win over think that Sophia's letter might contain the truth? But he still gave it to you. ...although it was given at the end."

"Not only that, they also gave you the rank of brigadier general, gave us a standing corps formation, and promoted several people's rank... Although it is probably to make our bait more credible, but they have also done enough. Very good." Carl shook his head:

"You, you are still too young to think that you can be the master of fate, but in fact..."

"It's the one that was slaughtered." An Sen said dully:

"You said that before."

"Then have I said that Changhe Town is the militia company commander?"

Carl smiled meaningfully and took a sip of his cigarette: "It should be about the same age as you... ah, maybe even younger."

"I had just joined the army for two years at the time, and my family was a tenant of the local Sir. Later, the fields were converted to pastures for sheep, and the tenants were driven away. I joined the army for Sir's son; a year later, I became a platoon leader."

"That's very fast...for recruits." Anson was intrigued by this topic:

"How did you get caught by the superior and let him discover your talent?"

Carl showed a slightly contrived smile:

"I 'send' him half-stock wool."

"..."

Anson was silent for a few seconds before showing a...thumbs expressionlessly.

Carl exhaled a wisp of smoke: "The regiment I was in at the time was a local garrison, so my platoon had a lot of acquaintances from the same village, who were not very demanding, and my own people cooperated very actively; in addition, the regiment commander was particularly 'appreciated' I've had a good time."

"During the period, I helped the head of the regiment to do some logistical work, such as carrying cards, contacting unscrupulous moonshine dealers, and reselling arms, etc.; occasionally I also had fun with the local soldiers and civilians, cleaning up factories, farms or pastures for them. stock or something."

"After a year, the local jazz went bankrupt, and the leader of our regiment bought his ranch at a low price."

"So he promoted you to become a company commander in order to repay you?" An Sen asked.

"Yes, I thought so at the time." Carl shrugged mockingly:

"It wasn't until our 'small business' was discovered by the people above, and a team of people was sent to check the accounts; then I found out that the head of the regiment had all the black accounts and deficits, as well as the private property he hid, linked to under the name of this company."

"I'm a company commander who has been in office for less than two months, smuggled 200 liters of wine, a dozen tons of wool, and weapons and ammunition that the whole regiment can't use up for two years in forty days - guess what will happen to me. ?"

What happened... An Sen narrowed his eyes, thought for a few seconds, and said, "If it's normal, even if the officer in charge of the trial knows there's a problem, you, as the nominal principal smuggling arms and alcohol, can be shot directly. category, but you are still alive."

"I'm still alive." Carl laughed:

"I told the guy who caught me, you and I both know what's going on, and I can't get those stolen money back if I kill me, and my regiment leader will definitely find other scapegoats. It doesn't help; so..."

"How much do you want to earn?"

Anson rolled his eyes.

Good, it's Carl.

"I helped him recover half of the stolen money, and he smuggled half of it, took the remaining half plus the Jazz's report letter to report my commander, and by the way helped me 'clear' the crime, and threw it to another small Place to be a militia commander—another **** place." Carl flicked his soot:

"But that's not because he's kind... The local militia has a full battalion, four companies, but that battalion -- oh, the cousin of the officer who let me go, ate the whole battalion. , there are only sixty-eight men in the battalion, fifty rifles, and half of them are tried and tested grandfathers."

"Throw me over just to make up for all the shortfalls within a month, so as to respond to the surprise inspection above; if I can't handle it, I'm the one who takes responsibility."

"Of course, I successfully completed the task, helped the battalion commander through the difficulties, and made a small profit in the middle; but in order to prevent me from leaking rumors, I was sent to an eastern fortress far away from there. Stayed there for three years; then an outpost in the northwest, then a tax card in the south, then a new levy, then a militia, and then..."

"Just arrived at the Thunder Fort Fortress."

Gently snuffing out the cigarette butt, Carl picked up the long-cold coffee next to him, sipped his mouth to moisten his throat, and did not continue talking.

Of course, he didn't say An Sen and understood the meaning of the words... His loyal adjutant, he was used to this kind of life and became numb.

Since there is no ability to reverse the situation, and it cannot make the other party dare not let go easily, then we can only default to the status quo and find the point of breaking the game from other places, the key to the comeback.

Like cannon fodder that hasn't been burnt out, surviving from the dead.

Otherwise, what else could it be?

The situation is already what it is now, and I did my best under limited conditions. Even if I did it all over again or, as William Cecil said, left the Stormtrooper and ran back to the homeland alone, it might not be as good as the end. Strong now.

"To be honest, compared with all my previous experiences, this time the movement is the biggest, but it is also the last time the capital is rich."

Carl paused and raised his head, pointing his cigarette to the ceiling: "There is a colony, a group of unreliable allies, an army of thousands who are willing to believe in you, the promise of the Cecil family, and Lu The En family is behind the support..."

"Think about my experience, and think about yourself before, Thundercastle, Eagle Horn City, Hantu, Yisel... Which time the risk is smaller than this time, a slight deviation is the annihilation of the entire army - we Still lost on the snow-capped mountains of Dawn Bingfeng!"

"We still have a chance, and you still have a chance."

Anson was silent.

"So there's nothing to worry about. If you have this skill, you might as well think about how to tell the news to others." Carl yawned loudly:

"To be honest, the most serious consequence is just a counter-attack by the empire, and we are used as bait to attract their attention; but so what? How many troops can they send, 30,000? 50,000? How large a fleet do these people need? How much will it cost to ship it?"

"In order to invest such an army, how long can the empire persist on the western front? No matter how much the emperor wants to save face, will those dukes be stupid along with them?"

Carl's attitude towards the Empire's counterattack has always been very disdainful; just to send 5,000 Storm Division people from North Port to Beluga Port, a dozen large merchant ships, four cruisers and one more were dispatched. battleship.

This is only 5,000 people. If the Empire wants to retake the colony, the army must be at least four to six times that number; and it cannot be dominated by merchant ships, and it has to cooperate with the corresponding naval armament, plus Adland to the New World. The voyage is farther and more dangerous than starting from Beigang, and the consumption of materials has to be further increased.

All told, this would probably be the largest operation in the history of the Imperial Navy, with little expected return; and even if they managed to land, the Stormtroopers and the Free Confederacy were not without a chance.

The heavy-faced An Sen did not speak, and remained silent.

Carr's statement is of course true, but one crucial factor is missing.

The Church of the Ring of Order.

Not to mention whether the death of Sir Ed Levent has alarmed the local Levent family, the Rune family... or the actions of the "Rune Apostle" did indeed alarm Clovis and Edland. The court of the earth, and corresponding actions were launched.

Although there is some kind of tacit understanding between the Rune family and the Church of Order, that is the premise that the situation has not changed; now the church seems to have strengthened its tendency to intervene in the secular world, and the Rune family has left Clovis City and fled beyond the reach of the church...

How much more use can the past conventions have?

And when the Church of Order attempts to intervene in the new world, will the emperor, the self-proclaimed "sole protector of the world of order", seize the opportunity to intervene in the settled New World, recapture or bring the colonies under his control, and set up similar Titles like "Free City", reasserting his authority?

If the empire really gets the righteous title of "fighting for the ring of order", let alone the Free Confederation, I'm afraid I can't do it by myself, and I can only follow the Rune family all the way to the dark.

Of course, these things will be after half a year at the earliest, and the most important thing at the moment is still the banks and companies in the New World, as well as the adaptation work of the Storm Legion.

An Sen took a deep breath, sat up slightly on the sofa, and said to the adjutant:

"When do you think it's appropriate to tell the officers about this..."

"I don't know, but it's definitely the most inappropriate right now."

Carl frowned slightly, biting the remaining cigarette butts: "Although it can be guaranteed that the army is still loyal, but ... such appalling information, plus whether there is any evidence, boldly telling them, it is likely to cause riots and mutinies, at least It will cause internal divisions."

"My suggestion is to take advantage of this expansion opportunity to promote a few guys that you think you can be absolutely assured of, or that you must be promoted to be assured; either stand up, or let them control the most elite troops to ensure that there is no possibility of rebellion. "

"In addition, the New World Company should also speed up its progress. The group of Yangfan City has begun to take shape. When the training of the indigenous people in Beluga Harbor and Changhu Town is completed, they will probably be able to accumulate a 'shooting army' of tens of thousands of people... Don't If you care too much about combat power, increase the number first and let other colonies increase the supply of animal slave trade."

"Even the militia of the Faithful Alliance is not completely unrecruitable after training; since it has been given the opportunity to expand, it is used to expand the army to the size of 20 to 30 thousand people first; equipment and ammunition, I think You can always get it.”

"And the New World Bank... Now that the local attitude has been made clear, we don't have to be more polite to the Baron Aix; deduct all the taxes from the Ice Dragon Fjord, and the gold mine in Long Lake Town, which will be used for Control the army and purchase supplies; don't store all of them in Beluga Port, and distribute some to Winter Torch City."

"Although we don't want to plan for the worst, it's not wrong to be cautious - even if all the colonies along the coast are lost, we can still hold the fortress halfway up the mountain and fight fiercely with the imperial army; as long as the walls are clear, we can still can win."

Carl's eyes are extremely decisive, those are the eyes that can only be possessed by people who are struggling to survive in the front line of life and death in normal years: "You can lead us to survive in Thunder Fort, survive in Dawn Bingfeng, the new world... is no different. "

"You really have confidence in me." An Sen smiled bitterly:

"I never thought that my previous success was just luck?"

"Of course I thought about it! I'm here to cheer you up again, my commander-in-chief!" Carl rolled his eyes:

"Anyway~www.readwn.com~ Since the native Clovis still intends to continue to pretend to be very positive towards the colony on the surface, and has not publicly abandoned you, the twenty-four-year-old brigadier general, then the assistance and reward that should be requested are the same. Can't be less!"

"As for this, I asked Colonel William Cecil to request the mainland before he left, exempt from the 'tax' next year, and provide the colony with a batch of hard currency and arms as soon as possible."

"And the Lord Reinhard Roland, you have to think of a way to ensure that he and the Roland family behind him will not rebel against each other, and maybe they can be our help at critical moments - of course, these will be in the future. things, don't be in such a hurry."

"Oh, so what am I anxious to do now?"

"The most urgent thing right now..."

Carl was suddenly stunned, his eyes locked on a figure that suddenly appeared outside the living room door, and his expression became unnatural:

"How to explain this letter to dear Miss Talia."
