Chapter 987 Disasters Repeatedly
"What else can I use to impress them?" Grand Duke Christine said very sadly, "We have all become lambs on other people's grills now. How they want to eat depends on their mood. The only thing that can impress them now is I am afraid that I will use my identity as the guardian of the Huayu Plateau to completely transfer the ruling power of the Huayu Plateau to their hands, just in exchange for a chance of survival."
"Your Majesty..." Viscount Gould couldn't help but glance at Grand Duke Christine again. The other party can recognize this, but it is not something ordinary people can do.
Viscount Gould didn't know that all of this was not done by Grand Duke Christine himself, but was still written by the University of Ardonia whose body had been buried in the tomb.
He knew that even with his own help, the Bryan family would not be able to survive this crisis, let alone without his own help.
The only thing he can do is to save the life of Grand Duke Christine.
The only way to save your life is to completely decentralize power in exchange for a fortune that you can use for a lifetime, move to the core control area of the Yongye Army Commander, and live under the surveillance of the other party for the rest of your life, which is commonly known as House arrest.
"I don't know if this condition can impress them?" Grand Duke Christine asked with a low voice.
"It's enough, it's enough. With His Majesty's guarantee as a basis, I will do my best to be considerate and find a way to ensure the safety of His Majesty for the rest of his life." promise.
"My family and life are entrusted to Your Excellency the Viscount. I hope you can keep this matter a secret for me before it happens. Now the whole situation is precarious, and we can no longer withstand any storms. Once the news leaks, we will It's completely falling apart, and we will lose even the last hole card." Grand Duke Christine held Viscount Gould's hand and urged him affectionately.
"Understood, I know what to do." Viscount Gould nodded solemnly. This is not an honorable thing in itself. Can he carry it out with great fanfare?
To be honest, he was far from being as confident as he had shown in front of Grand Duke Christine.
In the past, his personal relationship with the Yong Ye Army Leader was entirely based on the premise that he was useful to the Yong Ye Army Leader and could bring them convenience and benefits.
Now all of this is gone, the real friendship, the friendship that let the other party help him at the expense of the enemy, he really doesn't know how much there is.
But he needs an opportunity like this.
This opportunity is not only to find a way out for Grand Duke Christine, but also to find a way out for himself and his family.
As the Minister of Finance of the Bryan family, he has long been known to everyone, and he is also on the clean-up list of the Revolutionary Party thugs.
After the most unspeakable request was uttered, Grand Duke Christine let it go, not only playing the emotional card against Viscount Gould, but also dragging out most of his old friends, at least allowing a lot of wealth as a reward. It's the only thing he can do right now.
The two talked in secret for a full two or three hours before Viscount Gould left Bryan Castle in a hurry.
Except for a very few caring people, even if they knew about Viscount Gould's whereabouts, they didn't take this matter too seriously.
No matter how you say it, Viscount Gould is also the Minister of Finance appointed by Grand Duke Christine, and he is considered one of the most important ministers.
Especially during the war, the consumption of money is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary times. It is really not surprising to be summoned in private.
After Viscount Gould returned home, he immediately started to get busy. Hundreds of eagles soared from the backyard of his house and flew straight to the direction of the Yongye Army Commander.
As for these flying eagles, how many of them can reach the destination and deliver the letter to the people who need it.
Viscount Gauld had nothing at all.
Before the war broke out, the sky above the plateau was already filled with the figure of Killer Dove, forming an air blockade, blocking the plateau's external intelligence channels.
Now that the entire fault mountain range has fallen into the hands of the opponent, I am afraid that this kind of air blockade will be more dense.
This is the real fear of Yong Ye's army leader, he will always be one step ahead of the enemy.
When everyone was still delivering messages on the fast horse, they created a flying eagle transmission system, directly pressing the opponent's intelligence system to the ground and frantically rubbing it.
When their opponents began to try to establish themselves, they not only began to package and sell, but even transferred from military use to commercial civilian use.
By the time they began to spread on a large scale, other people's air countermeasures were already there waiting for their carrier pigeons and mountain eagles to throw themselves into the net.
This is just what I see, where I can't see, the other party doesn't know what sharp means are waiting for them.
Viscount Gould got half right only once.
Very few of his letters were delivered to their destinations and to the hands of those in need.
However, the information he wanted to send fell into the hands of the senior leaders of the Southwest Front Army led by the Yong Ye Army in the first place.
Killer doves are definitely not as simple as intercepting and killing those carrier pigeons and mountain hawks. After special training, they have learned to use the carcass of carrier pigeons and mountain hawks in exchange for more delicious and nutritious food from their masters.
In this way, the information carried by the carrier pigeons and mountain hawks will naturally fall into the hands of the Yongye military leader, and there will be special intelligence personnel to collect and sort out the information and report it to the upper-level leaders.
The Shanying letter sent by Viscount Gould carried enough information, and naturally, it was sent to the highest level through the urgent channel - Marshal Tagore of the Southwest Front Army.
Tagore didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately held a high-level meeting of the Southwest Front Army, convening several core high-level leaders.
After everyone circulated the information, Marshal Tagore said straight to the point: "Everyone has read the letterhead, what do you think of this matter?"
"There's nothing surprising about this. It's something that was expected." Chief of Staff Kelman said with a normal expression, "At this point, even a fool can tell the outcome. Surrender is their only option." Way to survive, I believe, this is not the first letter of surrender intercepted by the intelligence department, right? I have never seen the Marshal mobilize so many troops before, could it be because of the person behind this letter? The Marshal thinks there should be an exception, let me guess who……"
"It's still guesswork, of course it's the head of the Bryan family, Grand Duke Christine! Otherwise, the marshal would never have summoned us!"
"Even if it really came from Grand Duke Christine, I don't think there is any need to pay extra attention. It should be treated as an ordinary letter, and everything can proceed according to the established plan." Chief of General Staff Kellman expounded his opinion immediately.
The Wildfire Project is his masterpiece.
The fact that the revolutionary fire was able to spread like a prairie fire in such a short period of time on the Huayu Plateau was inseparable from the deployment and control of their military staff.
It is about to enter the stage of closing the palace, and Kellman naturally does not want to cause any complications.
The perfect closing of the Wildfire Project will add a touch of brilliance to his perfect resume.
"Chief of the General Staff, don't be impatient. Since the marshal summoned us, there must be his consideration. We might as well listen to his opinion, and it's not too late to express his opinion." An experienced general smoothed things over with a smile.
"This meeting was not requested by Marshal Tagore, but by me." Sophilia, who was sitting side by side with Marshal Tagore, spoke first.
"Ma'am..." There was a hint of confusion in the hearts of everyone.
Although Su Fei Liya temporarily joined the Southwest Front Army, but she was a special numbered unit, a separate army, and was only responsible for some special missions such as the devastating air strike on the Helian Mountain Pass.
Marshal Tagore has always been in charge of the specific affairs of the Southwest Front Army, and she is not in charge of it, because her team uses the Sophie Liya to go high and low, and the number of appearances in the Southwest Front Army can be counted on the fingers.
But the same proposal, from the mouths of Marshal Tagore and the lord's wife Sophilia, obviously has different weight, and everyone can't help but sit upright and sort out their mentality.
"The wildfire plan itself has not had any problems. This is definitely the best way to completely solve the problem of the Huayu Plateau once and for all. So far, you have done very well." Sophie Liya first gave high praise to the wildfire plan of the Southwest Front Army Affirmative, "Now there is something wrong with our territory itself."
"There is a problem with the territory itself? What's the problem?" The generals were startled, "Could it be that the Holy See has repeated? They tore up our agreement and used troops on such a large scale? Didn't they say a few days ago that they Has the country been formally established? Do they still have the energy to take care of us?"
"It's not a military disaster, but a natural disaster. Since the beginning of summer this year, the Donau Plain has been flooded with rain, many places have been flooded, and many crops have been affected. The rainfall in the past two weeks has been unprecedented. It flooded completely, and many low-lying lands turned into ponds and swamps again, where there was no grain harvest.
On the side of Man Yu's army, there was no rain throughout the summer, and the grain harvest was also poor.
After severe drought and flood, it is often accompanied by locust plagues and plagues. Our life will be even more difficult next year.
What Xiao En is most worried about is that this kind of erratic weather is just the beginning. In the next few years, it is likely to become the norm for the entire Arshan continent. We must be prepared for long-term resistance to natural disasters. "Sophie Liya spoke out the root cause with a solemn expression.
Sophilia is well aware of the cause of the abnormal climate, which is the aftermath of the explosion of the energy mine.
The big explosion of the energy mine was not just as simple as tearing apart the space barrier, communicating with the two planes in advance, and letting the terrifying enemy, the devil, into it.
During the explosion of the energy mine, a large amount of magical energy stored there was released.
That's how the energy turbulence shrouded outside the space crack came about.
Although this kind of big explosion will not release the energy in the crystallization of spells so thoroughly, just a part of it is enough to break the natural balance of the Arshan continent and disrupt the weather system here.
Not to mention, the space rift whose portal has been opened wide is continuously injecting fiery energy belonging to the hell of the plane of Thor into the Arshan Continent, which will also have an earth-shaking impact on this place.
Sean had predicted this when he came back from the space rift, and handed over various tasks of preventing natural disasters and epidemics to Sophilia.
For the past six months, Sophie Liya has been focusing on this matter.
But in the face of menacing natural disasters, manpower is so weak, even Sophilia, who has a body of laws and can use a lot of power of laws, can only plug small holes in serious situations, and is powerless to the overall situation.
She can rely on the mage tower to control the weather in a radius of several kilometers or even tens of kilometers, but there is no way to stop the large-scale rainfall in the entire area.
The only thing they can do is to race against natural disasters, race against time, and minimize losses.
Based on the current situation, it is speculated that Army Leader Yongye will reduce grain production by more than 70% this year.
This time there was no food for them to import.
Leaving aside the tense relationship between the Holy See and them, they are also overwhelmed.
The natural disaster this time was continent-wide, and they were not treated differently because the two belonged to different forces. The God of Truth of the Holy See did not provide their believers with the shelter they deserved.
In addition to drought and flood disasters, the hurricane formed by energy turbulence has passed through here three times, not only destroying a large number of crops, but also destroying a large number of houses, causing a lot of casualties to people and animals. They will also have food crisis.
"The situation is so serious?" All the generals couldn't help being surprised.
This year, the territory was generally hit by disasters. They had heard a little bit about it, but they didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
Regarding Xiao En's forecast for the coming year, no one questioned it, and everyone believed it.
In the past, Sean was only deified in thought, but after returning from the plane of Abigail this time, he was truly deified.
Since he said so, he must be right.
Chief of General Staff Kelman said thoughtfully: "Ma'am, what you mean is, let us take down the Huayu Plateau as quickly as possible and restore the food production here, even if it leaves some hidden dangers, we will not hesitate. "
"Yes." Sophilia nodded and confirmed his guess, "Wildfire Project, of course, is done once and for all, but the damage to Huayu Plateau is too great, at least two to three years, there is no way to completely resume production here.
If it is really Grand Duke Christine who takes the lead in surrendering, and we turn our heads to put out the wildfires, we may be able to completely end the war before winter, and carry out the first round of rushing to plant, alleviating the food crisis in the territory in the future. "
"Is this what the lord meant?" Chief of Staff Kellman couldn't help asking.
"Before I came, I had already communicated with the lord. He also asked to focus on the overall situation of the territory, but he also respected your opinions and opinions. After all, you have been on the front line and know the situation of Huayu Plateau best." Sophie Liya Wei Wei paused and said, "If your southwest front army agrees that it is inappropriate to rashly change the wildfire plan, you can tell me directly, and we will respect your opinions and adjust the future strategic layout of the territory."
