Chapter 426 Restoration Plan

"Hey, old man, are you here?" Li Huailin was already in Weideng's windmill farm at this time, but the windmill farm is very quiet now, after all, it is midnight, and now even the animals raised by Weideng are sleeping, and the surrounding It was quiet, only the sound of Li Huailin knocking on the door.

"Who is it..." The lights in the wooden house came on, and after a while, the wooden door here slowly opened, and Wei Deng, who was sleepy and not fully dressed, appeared at the door. Of course, anyone who was woken up in the middle of the night He is very angry, but Weideng is old and wakes up earlier. It is more than five o'clock now, and it is less than an hour before he wakes up. It is Li Huailin who appeared, and Weideng here is also He didn't lose his temper, but just said: "It's you, why did you come so early... Anyway, come in first."

Weideng's home is still the small dilapidated house, which was demolished by Li Huailin last time, but I don't know when it has almost been repaired. Li Huailin walked into the house and sat opposite Weideng.

"I was in a hurry last time. I seem to remember what you told me last time. What's the matter?" Li Huailin sat down and asked.

"Yes, I have something to ask you, and it's a very important matter, but before I say it, I want to ask you, can I trust you?" Weiden said suddenly and seriously.

"Uh, just tell me if you have anything to say." Li Huailin said.

"Sure enough, I knew what you said, there must be no problem." Weiden said, "The last time the rebels attacked the palace, you were also the number one hero of the rebels, and you were the one who overthrew His Royal Highness. That's great, I've already believed in you."

"Huh? Oh..." Li Huailin didn't react at first, but after thinking about it, Li Huailin probably understood what Weideng meant. Before, he knew that Weideng should be a loyal minister. After all, he sent himself a letter to Malindorf, and now it seems that Verdon should be a loyal minister of Rein in the past, because the current Anthony's government army is called a rebel, but because of the reversal of his favorability, That's why I trust myself, "Well. That's it, tell me, what's the matter."

"What I want to tell you is... His Royal Highness, he is still alive." Verdon said suddenly in a low voice.

Li Huailin knew about this a long time ago. Anthony had told him last time that Rein relied on his high martial arts skills and finally ran away, but he should have been seriously injured. But this matter should not be known to the outside world, because the news released by Anthony now is that the old king is dead.

"Not only that. The king's family members, namely the three princes and His Royal Highness the Queen, are not dead either." Verdon said again.

Li Huailin also knew about this matter. Anthony said that their family was under house arrest in the palace's secret prison, but this matter was also kept private.

It's a bit strange that Verdon would know the news... If there were no traitors in the palace, it would be that he had already contacted the old King Rein.

"What, there is such a thing?" Li Hualin pretended to be very surprised and said. "is this real?"

"Well, it's true." Wei Jin said very happily. "Hearing the news that His Royal Highness was murdered, I was in so much pain that I almost wanted to follow His Royal Highness..."

"..." Li Huailin was sweating profusely. If this guy died, he would learn skills with someone.

"But fortunately, just when I was most desperate, I got the news that His Highness the King is still alive. Sure enough, it is the God of Light who blessed him, and His Highness the King is indeed a person blessed by God," Weideng said.

"Can you really be sure that His Royal Highness is still alive? Sorry, I can't believe it." Li Huailin asked immediately.

"Well, I can confirm that, after all... I have already met Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess." Verdon said.

"Francelin?" Li Huailin was a little surprised, but thinking about it, Anthony also said that Lei Yin took Fangceline away before taking her away. It makes sense when you think about it.

"Nonsense, how can you call Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess by her name directly." Weiden said, "In short, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess has conveyed the king's order..."

"The king's order? What is it?" Li Huailin asked curiously.

"Rebuild the Third Legion..." Verdon said.

"Oh?" Li Huailin was surprised, as if he remembered that he had heard Verdon say that he was the commander of the Third Army, but something happened fifteen years ago that caused the Third Army to be directly destroyed. Now that the third legion is going to be rebuilt, is it because they want to fight back again and be reborn to ascend to the throne?

"That traitor Anthony, based on his own selfishness, expelled His Majesty the Great King, and sat on the throne shamelessly. He has no qualifications to become a king at all." Verdon said angrily, "The San Felipe Empire was founded. For 130 years, every king has been named Landsberg, and that fellow Anthony, who is clearly from the Murat family, dares to call himself king, this is unforgivable!"

China has a history of more than 4,000 years, and it is common to change dynasties. Li Huailin can only use the word "foolish loyalty" to describe Weideng, as if he was talking about the king of the Landsberg family. It's not like he snatched the position from someone else, but now he won't just taunt him on the spot, so he has to pretend to be from there and listen to the other party's news more.

"You're right." Li Huailin said, "Anthony is really sad (dry) and sick (beautiful) crazy (beautiful), but I always feel that it is difficult to rebuild the Third Army now."

"So?" Verdon asked here.

"First of all, there is the problem of the source of troops. You think that now Anthony has basically unified the country and has officially ascended the throne, which means that he is the new king and has been accepted by most people. We cannot Let's recruit troops with great fanfare, otherwise as long as one person stabs him, we will be out of the game." Li Huailin said.

"You're right, this thing is going to be done in secret," Verdon said, "so that's why I'm looking for you."

"Huh?" Li Huailin asked strangely, "Me? What's going on?"

"Actually, I have already contacted many officers from the former Third Army. They all expressed their support for me and are willing to come back to rebuild the Third Army and fight for the king. But the problem now is that although the officers are back, the source of troops is indeed a big problem. Weeden said, "Even if the recruits are trained intensively, it will take at least three months to barely use them, and it will take at least one year and many battles to meet the conditions to be able to fight against Anthony's soldiers." baptism."

"Yeah." Li Huailin said, "You're right, then what?"

"So I want your help. I want to arrange for these former officers of the Third Army to enter your private team and train soldiers there," Verdon said.

"Oh? In my private army?" Li Huailin said in surprise, "But my Sijun seems to have a maximum number of 5,000, and the third army's full number should be 100,000. It's not enough."

"What I mean is that the soldiers trained on your side will later become officers of the team. A 5,000-strong non-commissioned officer unit should be able to deal with a 100,000-strong army. In this case, as long as your officers are trained, Directly assigned to the troops, the troops will be able to operate immediately," Weiden said.

"Oh? That source of soldiers..." Li Huailin asked strangely.

"We have found a solution to the source of soldiers." Weeden said, "We have found a reliable ally, and he may already have a lot of sources of soldiers..."

"Oh? Who is it?" Li Huailin asked.

"It's Duke Lautner..." Weiden said with a smile.

"What? Duke Lautner?!" Li Huailin was so surprised, because he had heard this guy's name just now, but he didn't expect it to be only ten minutes later, and now he heard it for the second time. What is this guy doing? Why did it suddenly come out and start jumping up and down.

"Don't be surprised, Duke Lautner is also the Duke of King Rain, and he is also the uncle of King Rain, so he is definitely trustworthy." Weiden said.

"But how did he do it? If he is also a Duke, the private army will only have 5,000 people." Li Huailin asked.

"Duke Lautner has inherited the title for more than 20 years. So far, how many private soldiers do you think have retired?" Weiden asked.

"Oh? Could it be that we want to bring back those retired?" Li Huailin asked.

"Those are all trained soldiers, and some of them have been private soldiers for many years and even have combat experience. They are very good soldiers." Weiden said, "Duke Lautner has already begun to send people to I have contacted, and the news I have received is very gratifying. It is estimated that at least 40,000 to 50,000 trained soldiers can be recruited. As long as the officers are in place, they will soon become a combat-capable force."

"That's a good idea." Li Huailin nodded, "After the training of the officers is completed, I will immediately worry about this group of people. After I have a certain strength, I can immediately recruit troops with great fanfare. The method is good, who thought of it?"

"This is Duke Lautner's strategy. Duke Lautner is worthy of a generation of famous generals. Even though he has stopped fighting, he is still so strategic." Weiden praised.

"Hmm... I'm indeed the one who made the mess... No... People trusted by His Royal Highness are qualified." Li Huailin said, "That's fine, I have no problem here, you can call someone, I will immediately start."

"Really, that's great. If you join, there is hope for the restoration of the country." Weiden said excitedly, "I'll contact them right now."

"Okay, I'll go to the Tower of Trials for a few laps now, you can contact them, I'll come back to lead people later." Li Huailin said.

"Yeah." Verdon nodded. (To be continued..)
