Chapter 980, Hawke Comprehension Master
Emilia actually had no reason to come to the front from the beginning to the end.
From the perspective of the army, Emilia is not a warlord-type lord. The Duchess of the Empire seems to have a high position and authority, but even in her most powerful Nuer, Emilia is more of a Nuer The chairperson and mediator of the city council, the Countess of the Empire is considered to have excellent talents in internal affairs and diplomacy, but lackluster in military affairs.
Defeating the Tamkhan brought great prestige to Emilia, but everyone, even the dwarves, knew that the army was the Nuer army and the black lady Elspeth-von-Dra Ken commanded, and the core combat power was provided by Knight King Ryan. All she did was stand on the city wall holding her son Frederick Jr. to boost the morale of the army.
Therefore, it is normal for the dwarves to give her a military ability of 2. Emilia's military ability is limited to some basic common sense that she has learned from Suria for several years.
So when Emilia received Ryan's love letter in Nur, the Countess of the Empire was very surprised. Ryan would actually write a love letter to himself at this time?
This is not Ryan's style at all!
Don't talk about love letters, I have followed Ryan for many years, from my teens to my twenties, Ryan is either fighting outside all day, or coming back to deal with internal affairs and looking for those two witches, his maid Or with Sister Suria, if he hadn't made up his mind to pierce the window paper before leaving, Ryan might not have touched him from the beginning to the end.
Emilia happily opened the love letter, and after reading a few sentences, she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
tasteless.
What is tasteless?
To put it simply, it wasn't hot enough, it wasn't emotional enough, Lane's love writing was a little too shallow, and Emilia wanted something more intense, a little more daring.
After 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 he actually blames the slow progress of the army in the south of the empire! We have already arrived at Herzig, but we dare not rush forward because of insufficient troops. We have bought so much time for you, why are you still procrastinating?
The Duchess of the Empire put down Ryan's love letter, thought over and over again and made a decision, that is, she would come to the front line in person.
The formation and mobilization of the imperial southern reinforcements did not take much effort.
The real problem lies in two places. The first is who is in command of this army? Is it Rick Marshal Heilberg or Nuer Marshal Erstein?
On this point, Brunswick and Nuer have not been able to reach an agreement, and naturally the speed of progress will be slow.
The second problem is logistics. The logistics in the southern part of the empire has been used to fully support the war in the northern part of the empire. Then the army to be supplied to the south will make several major courts of the empire, especially several important tax centers and Super-large cities have to spend real money, so who will pay, how much, and how to distribute it is also a very complicated political issue. This issue involves the political situation of the entire empire and the struggles among countless court 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 super fat piece of meat!
Very annoying, right? Very cumbersome, right? It's boring, isn't it?
But that's politics.
All problems were solved after Emilia came to the front in person. The Duchess of the Empire announced that she would be the commander in name, and then appointed Marshal Rick Curt Helberg as the actual commander.
Regarding this arrangement, the Rick leader has no objection, and the Nuer people have no objection either.
Afterwards, Emilia used her personal prestige and influence to guarantee that she directly borrowed a large amount of supplies from the major chambers of commerce and noble families in Talabheim to give priority to supplying military supplies, and the logistical problems that had not been settled for a long time in the past were resolved in an instant.
Everyone admired the Countess' wrists, and the army moved out smoothly.
Seeing the Imperial Countess who walked out of the cabin with a majestic grace and pomp and smile, Veronica immediately felt tremendous pressure. Witch Garland looked at the scene in front of her, and more than two hundred Nur The armored army is all equipped with the most sophisticated equipment and weapons produced in the Nuer military factory and dwarf workshop. There is no need to say more about their glorious history, achievements and combat effectiveness.
In addition, there is a Blackstone Guard Legion with more than five hundred people. This guard is the private guard of the Queen of the Empire. It enjoys a high salary and has extremely high requirements. 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 an army of more than 800 people alone, Veronica knows how rich Emilia is. She is now the most powerful woman in the empire.
The female speaker opened her mouth. After thinking for a long time, she didn't even know whether to call her the familiar name Emilia or her real name Emmanuel.
"Call me Emilia, Ms. Veronica." The Duchess of the Empire looked at Veronica's tangled look with interest. She was proud, and Emilia raised her chin: "The same is true for Ryan. 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, and the expression of the female speaker of the Garland gradually became embarrassing.
A new bitch has appeared!
How can you stand still!
As Ryan's representative, Veronica could only go up and salute Emilia: "You are very welcome, Your Excellency the Duchess of the Empire, your support is very important to us."
"You're welcome, 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 join.
Veronica's face was sullen. She knew that it was impossible for her to compete with Emilia, so she could only give in.
Damn it!
"It seems that Herzig is still safe at least for now." Rick Marshal Helberg looked at the situation of the whole city, and the old marshal nodded: "It's getting late, act quickly!"
"Be quicker with your hands and feet." Generalissimo Erstein also gave the order.
"yes!"
Out of trust in Emilia, Veronica and the Old Guards took a little inventory of supplies and military pay, and received all of them after confirming that there was no problem.
At this time, all the human coalition forces also rushed to the gate of Herzig. 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 Queen of the Empire 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 onlookers burst into laughter, and the Elector Boris even teased: "Brother, you have two children, and you still have to do this, don't be ashamed, really are not ashamed."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha~" Everyone was laughing, only Morgiana's face was very ugly.
And Veronica's face is full of displeasure and jealous smirks.
She was the one who bought Emilia back in Marienburg!
"Well...yes, I took the initiative to invite you." Ryan lost his smile, nodded to Helberg and others behind Emilia, and asked softly: "How many troops are here?"
"Not many, just three or four thousand people." Emilia shook her head: "We are the first to arrive, all of which are the most elite troops. The Ke Glory Guard, the Nur Iron Armored Army, 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 anything about the situation in Osterland now. It's a little bit more army."
"The arrival of the army will take time, my dear." Emilia motioned to an old gentleman standing behind her: "This is the old Mr. Krupp, you must know him, when he was in Tamkhan At the time of the invasion, it was his Krupp Chamber of Commerce who made donations to get us through."
"It's a great honor 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 stand for you and all of you Aid has been brought from the South, and we must all stand together against Chaos."
Ryan nodded slightly. The old guy in front of him is the famous chairman of the Krupp Chamber of Commerce in Nur, and he is also the richest man in Nur. According to estimates, his property is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of gold marks, comparable to Schulz.
And the opportunity for this guy to make a fortune was the invasion of Tamu Khan eight years ago. Under the crisis of Nur at that time, although it seemed a bit forced, the old Krupp was the one who 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.
After winning this battle, the Krupp Chamber of Commerce naturally became the biggest winner. The nobles of Nuer supported him, and Countess Emmanuel also appreciated him. Coupled with the many contacts with Ryan, the knight nobles wanted to The first reaction to ordering artillery is to find the Krupp Chamber of Commerce in Nur to order the famous "Krupp Cannon". According to Suria's statistics, the Kingdom of Knights has ordered 648 pieces of artillery from the Krupp Chamber of Commerce in recent 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 bets at that time.
Even today, he has become the general supply agent for the logistics of this war.
As mentioned earlier, this profession is a super fat job. Ryan can say that, all the big merchants in the empire, including Marienburg, Britannia, Tyrell, and even the big chambers of commerce of the high elves in the old world, All want to fight for this position.
It's not about corruption and deductions, shoddy goods and charging "transportation losses". Now how can anyone dare to do too much in this situation? No one would be that stupid in the end where all property was confiscated.
What everyone is focusing on is the huge profits from purchasing military supplies, buying guns, food, medicine, clothing and other military supplies for the army. The Motkin invasion is so large, and the military supply logistics is naturally huge, and the profits are tens of thousands Units of gold coins are counted upwards, which cannot but make big businessmen tempted, buying low and selling high, hoarding, and moving around, gold and silver are rolling in.
However, although this kind of agency military supplies is a first-class job, there is also a necessary condition, that is, the chamber of commerce must have very strong financial strength and sufficient trust from the official, because in the process of purchasing military supplies, the imperial official The prepared funds and the payment for goods that are about to be delivered are often prone to "disconnection". Military supplies agents must often advance funds for the official, and then wait for the official to follow up to settle the materials and final payment. If the capital chain breaks during this process, the United States The mission may turn into a nightmare at any time, ranging from bankruptcy to family and property, and from burning to death.
Looking at the polite old Krupp, Ryan couldn't help thinking that if he wanted to make money honestly, it would never be possible to become a top businessman by doing things in a down-to-earth manner. No matter where he was, if he wanted to become the richest man, It will definitely have something to do with politics.
Just like the three major chambers of commerce in Britannia, the Oliver chamber of commerce and the Hadrian chamber of commerce are behind him, and the other famous chamber of commerce, the Anug family, is behind Lawn, François, Baudry The three dukes of Ke are fully supporting, and the three parties have both competition and cooperation, and are in a dynamic balance, serving the knights and nobles together.
This is the highest level of business, the two ends of the trading scale, one end is gold, the other end is rings, this kind of transaction can truly give birth to the top big businessmen.
However, if it has something to do with politics, it is doomed to be difficult to get out of the body and get a good death.
To be reasonable, the quality of the Krupp cannon is really good, and Ryan thought to himself, if this guy commits a crime, can he give it a hand?
Everyone walked towards the city of Herzig. Although the White Wolf Knight, Holy Grail Knight and the Old Guards were all ordered to stop and disperse the crowd in advance, Emilia still saw the chaos in Herzig Feeling weak and weak, the Countess of the Empire said softly: "Why are there so many refugees? You don't care?"
"How to manage? This is Hawkland's internal affairs." Ryan shook his head: "You know, Emilia, once it comes to logistics, military supplies and material distribution, bureaucrats, churches, palaces, armies and chambers of commerce all swarm up, It’s not uncommon for each other to fight for profit, multi-level and repeated management, everyone feels that they have the right to cut a piece of this big cake, and in the end, the elector himself often has to come out to solve the problem.”
"Isn't it always like this?" Emilia couldn't help laughing: "I didn't ask this, Ryan."
"It's the same for disaster relief." Ryan also laughed: "The relief of disaster victims is a typical matter that has no benefits at all and is easy to blame, so everyone avoids it. Bureaucrats talk about relief. You should ask the church. The church said that you must wait for the palace to allocate funds. The electoral court said that the most important thing now is to ensure the supply of the army, so you should ask the merchants to borrow money. The merchants agreed to allocate a little food relief but asked the bureaucrats to endorse it. The bureaucrats refused The endorsement makes the businessman go to the church again..."
"Documents implement documents, meetings implement meetings?" Emilia covered her mouth and smiled until her eyes narrowed.
"Hmm~"
The vanguard army from the southern part of the empire followed into the city. Although Herzig was already a bit crowded, there were still many places around the outskirts of the city vacated for them to live in.
In the evening, Edbrand, Elector of Hawkeland, prepared another grand feast of venison.
However, on the second day after Emilia had just arrived in Herzig, and when most of the troops in the southern part of the empire were still slowly arriving at the front line in batches, Herzig ushered in an uninvited guest.
He named Knight King Ryan Malcador by name! !
After the two met and said a few words, the army stationed at Herzig immediately received a joint order from Ryan and Emilia.
The whole army is ready to go immediately, and they will start at full speed in an hour!
