Proof of the Sun King

Emilia actually had no reason to be on the front line from start to finish.

From the perspective of the military, Emilia is not a warlord-type lord at all. The Imperial Countess seems to have a high position, but even in her most powerful Nur, Emilia is more of a Nur. The host and mediator of the city council, the Imperial Countess is considered to be very talented in internal affairs and diplomacy, but lacks in military affairs.

Defeating the Tamuk Khan brought Emilia great prestige, but everyone, even the dwarves, knew that the army was the army of Nur and the black lady of Nur, Elspeth von Dela Ken commanded, and the core combat power was provided by Knight King Ryan. All she did was to stand on the city wall with her son, Frederick, to boost the morale of the army.

Therefore, it is normal for the dwarves to give her an evaluation of military ability 2. Emilia's military ability is limited to some basic common sense learned by following Surya for several years.

So when Emilia received Ryan's love letter from Nur, the Imperial Countess was very surprised. Ryan would actually write a love letter to herself at this time?

It's not like Ryan's style at all!

Don't talk about love letters, I have followed Ryan for many years, from teens to twenties. Ryan is either fighting outside all day, or coming back to deal with internal affairs and looking for the two witches and his maid Or with Sister Suria, if he hadn't made up his mind to pierce that layer of window paper before he left, Ryan might not have touched him from beginning to end.

Emilia opened the love letter happily, and after reading a few sentences, she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

Tasteless.

What is tasteless?

To put it simply, not warm enough, not emotional enough, Ryan's love writing was a little too shallow, and Emilia wanted something more intense and bold.

Reading it again, Emilia understood.

Where is this love letter!

This is clearly an official letter! Her man, Knight King Ryan, is a love letter in name, but in fact, he blames the army in the south of the empire for being too slow! We have already arrived at Herzig, but we dare not advance because of the lack of troops. We have bought so much time for you, why are we still procrastinating?

The Duchess of the Empire put down Ryan's love letter and made a decision after thinking over and over again, that is, she will come to the front line in person.

The formation and mobilization of the reinforcements in the southern part of the empire did not take much effort. The real problem lies in two places. The first is who is in command of this army? Is it Marshal Rick Heilberg or Marshal Noor Earl Stein?

On this point, Brunswick and Nuer have never been able to reach an agreement, and the pace of marching is naturally slow.

The second problem is logistics. The logistics in the southern part of the empire have been used to fully support the war in the northern part of the empire. Then the army in the south will be supplied to the imperial palaces, especially the important tax and financial areas. Super-large cities have to spend real money, so who comes out, how much, and how to distribute them is also a very complicated political issue. This issue involves the political situation of the entire empire and the struggles within countless palace factions. There is a game between several major chambers of commerce and trade unions to buy military supplies for the army, which is an amazing piece of super fat!

very annoying, right? Very complicated, right? Very boring, right?

But that's politics.

All problems were solved when Emilia came to the front in person, and the Imperial Countess announced that she would be the nominal commander, and then appointed Marshal Rick Kurt Heilberg as the de facto commander.

For this arrangement, the Rick leader has no objection, and the Nuer has no objection.

Afterwards, Emilia used her personal prestige and influence to guarantee that she directly borrowed a large amount of materials from the major chambers of commerce and noble families in Tarabheim to give priority to the supply of military supplies. The logistical problems that had not been resolved after a long time of wrangling in the past were instantly resolved.

The Countess's wrist was admired by everyone, and the army started smoothly.

Veronica felt a huge pressure when she saw the elegant, pompous, and smiling imperial duchess walking out of the cabin. Witches Garland looked at the scene in front of her. More than 200 Nuer The iron armored army is all equipped with the most sophisticated equipment and weapons from the Nuer military factory and dwarf workshop. Their glorious history, achievements and combat effectiveness need not be said more.

In addition, there is also a Blackstone Guard Corps of more than 500 people. This guard is the private guard of the Imperial Countess. It enjoys a high salary and has extremely high requirements. Recruited from among the great swordsmen of 100, generally eight out of ten great swordsmen will be eliminated in various assessments, and the rest will be able to join the Blackstone Guard.

With the army of more than 800 people alone, Veronica knew how rich Emilia was, and she was now the most powerful woman in the empire.

The female speaker opened her mouth. She thought for a long time and didn't even know whether to call her the familiar name Emilia or her real name Emmanuel.

"Call me Emilia, Ms. Veronica." The Imperial Countess looked at Veronica's tangled look with interest, she was proud, and Emilia raised her chin: "Lane is the same way. call me."

"Huan...Welcome, Your Excellency Emilia." Veronica squeezed out a smile.

Emilia didn't move forward, she just stood there, standing still on the pier, the face of the female speaker gradually became embarrassed.

The new Bitchi has appeared!

How can it stand still!

As Ryan's representative, Veronica could only go up and salute Emilia: "Very welcome, Your Excellency the Imperial Countess, your support is very important to us."

"No thanks, Ms. Veronica, this is what we should do." Emilia accepted Veronica's courtesy with a smile, and then took Veronica's hand and motioned for them to be together.

Veronica's face was full of sullenness, she knew that it was impossible for her to compete with Emilia, and she could only resign.

Damn!

"It seems that Herzig is safe at least for now." Marshal Rick Heilberg looked at the situation in the whole city, and the old coach nodded: "It's getting late, move faster!"

"Quicker hands and feet." Marshal Erstein also gave an order.

"Yes!"

Out of trust in Emilia, Veronica and the old guards checked the supplies and salaries a little, and received them all after confirming that there was no problem.

At this time, all the people of the human coalition also rushed to the door of Herzig. The three people, Knight King Ryan, Elector Boris and Elector Edbrand, plus Morgiana and Regent Lawn, all arrived.

"Welcome, very welcome, Emilia." Ryan stretched out his arms and gave the Imperial Countess a big hug: "Are you here in person?"

"Aren't you welcome?" Emilia smiled at Ryan: "Who can't wait to write a love letter to me, hoping that I can come to reunite with you?"

The crowd roared with laughter, and the Elector Boris even joked: "Brother, you already have two children, so you are not ashamed, really not ashamed."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~" Everyone was laughing, only Mogiana's face was very ugly.

And Veronica's face was full of unhappy and jealous smirks.

She was the one who bought Emilia for the money in Marienburg!

"Well... Yes, I took the initiative to invite you to come." Ryan lost a smile, and the Knight Dynasty nodded with Heilberg and the others behind Emilia, and asked softly, "How many troops are here?"

"Not many, just three or four thousand people." Emilia shook her head: "We were the first to arrive, all of them are the most elite troops, Rick Guards, Kronborg Great Swords, Brunswick The Glorious Guard, the Nuer Iron Armor, the Blackstone Guard and the other two elite regiments are all here, and the rest of the army will arrive within two days."

"Hate less." Ryan sighed: "We don't know what the situation in Oster Territory is now. It's a little bit more army."

"The arrival of the army will take time, dear." Emilia motioned for an old gentleman standing behind her to step forward: "This is the old Mr. Krupp, you must know him, he was in Tamukhan. When we invaded, it was his Krupp Chamber of Commerce who donated money and goods to get us through."

"It's a great honor for me to see you again, Your Majesty the King of Knights." The old gentleman, wearing a bowler hat and an elegant black-and-gold dress, bowed and saluted: "I am for you and you all. Bringing aid from the South, we must all work together to fight Chaos."

Ryan nodded slightly. The old guy in front of him is the chairman of the famous Nuer Krupp Chamber of Commerce, and is now the richest man in Nuer. According to estimates, his property is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of gold marks, which is comparable to Schultz.

And the opportunity for this guy to make a fortune was the invasion of the Tamu Khan eight years ago. Under the crisis of Noor at that time, although there was a sense of forcedness, the old Krupp contributed the most money and was also the most determined to fight against chaos. The chairman of the chamber of commerce, in order to keep his property, he almost took out the entire Krupp chamber of commerce.

This battle was won, and naturally the Krupp Chamber of Commerce became the biggest winner. The nobles of Nuer supported him, and Countess Emmanori also admired him. Coupled with the many contacts with Ryan, the knights and nobles wanted to The first reaction to ordering artillery was to ask Nuer's Krupp Chamber of Commerce to order the famous "Krupp Cannon". According to Surya's statistics, the Knight Kingdom has ordered a total of 648 artillery pieces from the Krupp Chamber of Commerce over the years.

Ryan suddenly found it very interesting. The old Mr. Krupp in front of him finally became the richest man in Nuer and the largest arms dealer in the old world by relying on political speculation and desperate attempts at that time.

Even to this day, he is the general quartermaster agent for the logistics of this war.

As I said before, this profession is a super fat shortage. Ryan can say that all the big merchants in the empire, including Marienburg, Brittany, Tyrell, and even the big merchants of the high elves in the old world, All want to fight for this position.

It's not about corruption and deduction, shoddy charging, and "transportation losses". In this situation, how can anyone dare to do too much? The ending of all property confiscated, no one would be so stupid.

What everyone is looking at is the huge profits of buying military supplies and buying guns, food, medicine, quilts and other military supplies for the army. The Motkin invasion was so big, and the logistics of the military supply is naturally huge, and the profits are all in the tens of thousands of dollars. The unit of gold coins is counted upwards, which cannot but make the big businessmen excited, buying low and selling high, hoarding, and moving around, gold and silver are rolling in.

However, although these agent military supplies are first-class, they also have a necessary condition, that is, the chamber of commerce must have very strong financial strength and enough official trust, because in the process of purchasing the military supplies, the imperial official The preparation of funds and the payment for goods to be delivered are often prone to "disconnection". The military agent must often make advances for the official, and then wait for the official to settle the materials and balance payment in succession. If the capital chain breaks during this process, the United States The difference can turn into a nightmare at any time, ranging from bankruptcy to complete burning at the stake.

Looking at the courteous old Krupp, Ryan couldn't help thinking that he really wanted to earn money honestly and work hard to become a top businessman. No matter where he was, he wanted to be the richest man. It must have something to do with politics.

Just like the three major chambers of commerce in Brittany, the Oliver Chamber of Commerce and the Hadrian Chamber of Commerce are behind him, and behind the other well-known large chamber of commerce, the Anoug family, are Lawen and Francois, Baudry The three dukes of K are fully supporting. The three parties have both competition and cooperation. They are in a dynamic balance and serve the knights and nobles together.

This is the highest level of business, trading both ends of the scale, one end is gold, the other end is ring badge, this kind of transaction can really give birth to the top big businessmen.

However, if it is related to politics, it is destined to be difficult to get out of the body and get a good death.

To be fair, the quality of Krupp's cannons is really good. Ryan thought to himself, if he did something wrong, would he be able to pull it?

Everyone walked towards the city of Herzig. Although the White Wolf Knights, Holy Grail Knights and the old guards were all ordered to rush to ban and disperse the crowd in advance, Emilia still saw the chaos in Herzig. And weak, the Imperial Countess said softly: "Why are there so many refugees? You don't care?"

"What to do? This is the internal affairs of Hawke." Ryan shook his head: "You know ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Emilia, once it involves logistics, military supplies and material distribution, bureaucrats, churches, palaces, It is not uncommon for the army and the chamber of commerce to swarm each other and fight for profit. It is not uncommon to have multiple heads and multiple layers of management. Everyone feels that they have the right to cut a piece of this big cake. In the end, the elector himself often comes out to solve it. "

"Isn't it always like this?" Emilia couldn't help laughing: "I didn't ask that, Ryan."

"It's the same for disaster relief." Ryan also laughed: "It's typical that there is no benefit to disaster relief and it's easy to take the blame, so everyone avoids it. The bureaucrats talk about relief. We should find the church. The church said we must wait for the appropriation from the palace. The electoral court said that the most important thing now is to ensure the supply of the army, so we should ask the merchants to borrow money. Endorsement made the businessman go to the church..."

"The document implements the document, the meeting implements the meeting?" Emilia covered her mouth and smiled until her eyes narrowed.

"Hmm~"

The vanguard army from the south of the empire entered the city. Although Herzig was already crowded, there were still many places around the suburbs of the city that had been vacated for them to live.

In the evening, Edbrand, the Elector of Hawke, prepared another grand venison banquet.

However, just a day after Emilia arrived in Herzig, and while most of the troops in the southern part of the Empire were still slowly arriving at the front in batches, Herziger had an unexpected visitor.

He named Cavaliers King Ryan Macado by name!

After the two met and said a few words, the army stationed in Herzig immediately received a joint order from Ryan and Emilia.

The whole army is ready to set off immediately, and it will start at full speed after one hour!
