Chapter 872: It’s Easy to Hide From Open Guns, but Hard to Guard Against Hidden Arrows (1/2)

The same battle report was not only updated on the official website forum, but also appeared in the hands of Commander Abusek.

Presidential Palace.

Sitting at the desk, Abusek finished reading the report in his hand, stood up energetically, and couldn't help but sighed.

"Grandma... After being a grandson for so long, I finally got to be proud of myself! This battle was beautiful!"

Seeing the happy face of the commander-in-chief, the internal affairs committee member Wadia standing next to him also had a happy smile on his face.

However, due to his duty, after laughing, he still reminded softly.

"Sir, the captain of the 110,000th team is Yokale, and that person is Yudono's man."

Although the names of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Polo Kingdom and the Internal Affairs Department of the Academy are similar, their functions and goals are completely different.

The latter is an agency responsible for the internal management of the academy, while the former is actually the counterpart of the Mammoth Kingdom's stormtroopers, which is equivalent to an internal spy agency, responsible for monitoring whether officers and committee members at all levels are fulfilling their duties, and at the same time establishing secret files for some personnel that need attention.

For example, there are confidants like Anwo who have grown wings, capable young officers like Ishel, and even Kabaha, the education committee member who represents the political power of the literati, and the agricultural committee member who represents the political power of the peasants.

He even asked the internal affairs to pay attention to Zaid and his family members who were in the "opposition". But later, his subordinates really didn't see that this family would have the potential to become a political force, and they didn't even have the opportunity to enter the political stage of Tiandu, so they weakened their investigation.

After all, there are too many things to pay attention to.

Compared with the family members who did nothing, it is more worthy of attention to those guys in the army who flirted with the Weilantes.

After all, he himself had flirted with the legion, and the current war situation is so urgent, there may be people who are betting on both sides and are ready to trip him up behind the scenes.

A ruthless person who died on the throne has always been an indelible shadow in Abusek's heart.

He always worried that a madman would suddenly rush out and kill him one day, so he has been carefully doing preventive work.

However, there are many forces within the country of Borneo, and several great commissioners hold military power. He himself has secured his position as the general of Borneo with the help of many forces. It is naturally impossible for him to openly set up a stormtrooper like Lasi and point a submachine gun at anyone who opposes him.

Therefore, this department is active behind the political stage of Tiandu most of the time, mainly doing some background investigation work to provide reference for the decision-making of the general.

Abusek knew what Wadia meant by this sentence. The captain of Yokale was once a subordinate of Yudono, which means that he was an old subordinate of King Janus.

In the entire Borneo Army, he was most wary of Janus's old subordinates.

Those people are like a time bomb.

Not only may they seek revenge on him at any time, but they are also very likely to reverse the case for King Janus in the future and drag Borneo into an abyss with no bottom.

Although he and several other great commissioners jointly cleaned up a group of the most extreme guys, he knew very well that the cleansing in a hurry could not be thorough.

This is the dirty side of zz.

The best fate for these people is to die tragically on the battlefield, carrying the evil committed by the Heavenly King Army, rather than becoming living heroes.

Abusek hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't make up his mind, and sighed.

"... We can't always live in the past, we have to look forward."

Wadia was slightly stunned and said respectfully.

"What do you mean?"

"We have to give him a chance to be branded by us... Besides, it is also a good thing for us to absorb some promising officers."

Abusek thought for a long time, his eyes fell on the battle report, and he suddenly spoke in his heart.

"So... Promote Isher to a two-star captain, and command the Northern Field Army to lead the third and eleventh thousand troops to the three northern states to support the Mammoth Kingdom in the war!"

The third thousand-man troop of the Akal Victory and the Death Corps of the Alliance are the main defensive forces. They captured a troop of ten thousand troops in an organized manner. Its commander Isher deserves to be promoted.

There is nothing wrong with this two-star captain!

Not only that, this person is an old subordinate of Anwo, and Anwo is his own man. With this arrangement, Yokale can also be regarded as one of his own.

As long as this guy is not stupid, he should be able to understand his good intentions.

As for Akal County, it will be handed over to other 10,000-man teams.

Besides, the legion suffered a loss there, and it will definitely get back from there. It will surely be a hard battle by then.

Now that the Dog State is in danger, the Bora Kingdom has come to help in times of crisis. Strategically, it can consolidate the relationship with the Mammoth Kingdom, tactically, it can avoid casualties of the direct troops in the next tough battle, and by the way, it can also attract a promising future general to its faction.

This can be said to kill three birds with one stone!

Abusek was very satisfied with his plan. Wadia, who was standing aside, thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he respectfully accepted the order.

"Yes." Wadia accepted the order and turned around and left the office.

Abusek returned to his desk and sat down, but before he could even get comfortable, he received a call from the alliance representative, informing him of the tragic news that four airships had arrived at Xifan Port.

The representative of the alliance comforted him that he didn't need to worry too much. After all, there was no point in worrying. However, this was obviously not much comfort.

One airship destroyed half of the Lion City, and now four airships came down at once.

If this news is announced, most of Borneo will be in chaos before the war starts.

Just when he was worried, there were sudden footsteps outside the office, followed by two more knocks on the door, and the door was opened rudely before he could respond.

"Absek, you damn girl, give me an explanation! What does this mean!"

Striding into the office, "Tiger King" Duwata slammed the newspaper in his hand on the desk with an angry look on his face.

Startled by the movement, Absek thought someone was stabbing him, so he put his hand into the drawer of his desk. It wasn't until he saw Duwata coming in that he straightened up and cursed angrily.

"Why are you so crazy?"

Duwata's eyes widened and he cursed angrily.

"What's wrong with me? I'm leading my brothers to set up defenses outside the city and fight with the Weiland people, and I want you to sit in this office and enjoy the pleasure. What's wrong with me? Let me ask you, why is my son not here? above?"

Absek picked up the "Daily Survivor" and glanced at it. His eyes fell on the list of the big test, and he suddenly understood what was going on.

This Cabaha was so stubborn that he even made a "scheduling" list and published it in the newspapers with great fanfare, leaving no room for recovery.

He feels comfortable in his heart, but others may not.

Moreover, most of these 500 names are family members of the nobles of the previous dynasty. Even if you don’t ask what the residents of Tiandu City think, what do the soldiers think?

Even if the five hundred people selected in this big test are really talented people, this is not how this matter is done.

The reason why he set up this committee after the representatives of the Alliance and the South China Sea Alliance was to put everything on the table for discussion. There was not even a channel for discussion. Whenever a problem was encountered, he would silently pull out his gun and go to extremes.

This guy is good.

He wears the hat of a committee member on his head and enjoys the fact that the committee can say anything well, but he treats Absek as the emperor who speaks his mind.

Absek felt angry and amused, but more importantly, he was helpless and had a headache.

Perhaps putting Cabahar in the position of education commissioner was indeed the wrong decision.

After Tiandu University is built, it would be better for him to be the president of the university.

This guy has some skills, but he is obviously not political material.

But at this juncture, he had no intention of making more detailed adjustments. He could only kick the ball back for the time being and wait until the battle was over.

"This... the examination is not my responsibility. If you have any objections to the scores, please talk to our education committee member."

Duwata's eyes narrowed.

"It's not under your control, so Kabah wasn't appointed by you? Okay, then I'll go and bring people to his house as a guest now!"

After saying that, he turned to leave when Absek suddenly glared at the back of his head and shouted loudly.

"Stop for me!"

Duwata stopped and turned around to stare at him, without any fear in his eyes.

"Abu Seik, I called you the great commander, and treated you as one of my own, and I told you frankly. The reason why the brothers followed you is because they think there is a better way out with you than with Janusz."

"I don't object to you promoting the remnants of the old empire. Borneo has their place. But if you want them to ride on the heads of their brothers and want to be the emperor who says the same thing, then don't blame me for not reminding you. The last one was like this The person who did it didn’t end up well.”

Absek's heart twitched, and Janusz's face appeared in his mind again.

His eyes widened, but he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up from the chair, walked to his old friend, put his hands on his shoulders, and spoke earnestly.

"Hey! You misunderstood me, brother, how can I let the old nobles of the empire ride on the necks of my brothers? Those five hundred students went to the Mammoth Kingdom to learn from the experience, not to enjoy the blessings! And you What are you doing, a big committee member, looking at the quotas for those students? It’s not easy for you to find a way out for your son. Tell me which army you want to join!”

Duwata sneered.

"I don't care. My son must be a general, but my subordinates are keeping a close eye on him. Don't pretend to be stupid with me. When this battle is over and it's our turn to build, you will just let How many students become professors? Even if they become professors themselves, can the students they teach not be able to become directors and ministers? "

Without waiting for Absek to answer, Duwata continued speaking word by word.

"What a wonderful move you made... The noble children who supported the old empire. When this battle is over, we old guys are almost dead, and then we can use the power of the new rich to check and balance our children. Tsk tsk, I knew it. You old fox is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but don’t think of us too stupidly.”

"No... you are thinking too much. Do you know what time it is now? The Legion's airship is almost driving into our faces!" Absek had a look on his face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Frankly speaking, he really hadn't thought about this level. Although it did sound interesting, maybe he could actually play it like this.

Having said that, this "Tiger King" looked like a rough man with a strong back and a strong back, but he didn't expect that he also had ten thousand evil intentions just like himself.

Why are there so many things like this around me? !

If these idiots try to shift their intelligence to other places, and become scientists, engineers, or artists, or even painters, it will be the Alliance's turn to repair the space elevator, and the Legion will invade them. ?

They can hang them up and beat them with all the conspiracy and tricks that the Wilante people have come up with!

"One thing comes to another. My subordinates come to me for an explanation, and I will ask you for an explanation. If you don't give me an explanation, then I will tell them your exact words. If anything happens, don't tell them. Depend on me.”

Seeing that this guy couldn't get enough of him, Absek became angry and glared at him in warning.

"I'm warning you not to do this nonsense! If Tiandu City can't be defended, you and I will—"

Duwata raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not mess around with matters of great right and wrong. However, if someone uses power for personal gain, the reformist righteous will not sit idly by."

"If everything's okay, I'll go back to the military camp."

After saying these words, Duwata walked out of the door without looking back.

Absek stared at his back, angry but helpless.

At this moment, the internal affairs committee member Wadia, who had just sent a telegram to the front line, came back.

Looking at the gloomy commander-in-chief, he immediately guessed the whole story based on the meeting with Commissioner Duwata in the corridor earlier.

After closing the door behind him, he reminded in a very soft voice.

"Sir, maybe it's not my place to say this...but we still have to be ruthless when we should be ruthless."

Absek sighed.

"It's not that I can't bear to be cruel, I'm thinking about old feelings, but the current situation really doesn't allow it. There are people from Weiland who are watching covetously outside, and there's a cunning guy like Shah Rukh waiting in the south to reap the benefits. If we do something too outrageous here, That guy Shah Rukh will soon be able to raise another banner, and then it won’t just be chaos in Tiandu.”

Looking at the troubled commander, Wadia's heart moved slightly and he immediately remonstrated.

"What does the alliance mean?"

Absek shook his head.

"We can rely on them on the battlefield, but the Alliance has made it clear that they will not interfere in our internal affairs. Moreover... they do not recommend that we be too harsh on our own people, otherwise I would not have set up this committee. Alas, it is still time, There is so little time left for us, it would be great if we could be given a few more years.”

Perhaps it's not just the problem of Cabaha, but the entire committee has a big problem.

Those people say they support innovation, but in fact they still have an omnipotent emperor living in their hearts, and they regard themselves as loyal ministers who dare to give advice, rather than as members of this collective.

Sometimes this emperor is the alliance, sometimes he is the commander-in-chief, or he is someone else.

And the most terrible thing is that this emperor still "selectively appears".

When he touched the cake in his hand, the committee members raised the banner of equality and warned him not to mess around. And when they want to snatch the cake from other people's hands, they suddenly hope that they have messed up, and it is best to use everything and cut it without hesitation.

This is true for the Education Committee. How about the Industry Committee, the Agriculture Committee, and a series of other committees?

Perhaps this committee was doomed from its birth, and it was almost inevitable that they would become a seemingly unrelated alliance.

But it just so happens that this is the time when Borneo needs unity the most.

After pondering for a moment, Absek looked at his internal affairs committee member and ordered.

"You sent some people to protect Commissioner Cabaja and his family... I'm worried that some people in the army might attack him."

The list for the big exam has been published in the newspaper, and this matter is definitely irreversible.

But there is no solution at all.

For example, adding an honor list to the list of major exams, and arranging for military family members to take another round of exams separately.

Another example is a promise to give extra points to the children of fallen soldiers in the next big exam.

But it’s useless to just give the Borna Kingdom a nod on this matter, it still requires a nod from Mammoth University.

The educational resources on the other side are not unlimited, and they also face similar distribution problems internally.

In addition, Absek calmed down and carefully recalled what Duwata said. Although this guy mentioned his son at the beginning, he did not mention his son in the following words. He was mainly planning this for his subordinates. Welfare.

In fact, if you think about it, he is a big committee member, so he doesn't care about those study abroad places. If he does, he probably cares about other things.

For example, its influence in the fields of economy, industry, transportation, culture, etc.

The country of Borneo is very poor now and knows nothing about these things. In the future, can we not rely on those who go outside to learn scriptures?

Those five hundred students were the first group of people to take advantage of the situation. From now on, these people would have the final say on how to build roads in Borneo, how to erect telephone poles, how to dig mines, and how to refine steel.

He couldn't guarantee that his son, the captain of ten thousand men, would become a captain of ten thousand men in the future, but as long as he grabbed some spots and arranged for a boss, there would be no problem.

People always inadvertently let slip the things they care about most.

It was only then that Absek came to his senses as to why Duwata said those "inexplicable" words at the end.

Because that’s what he thinks!

This guy is really hiding deep!

Thinking of this, Absek then added another sentence after what he asked Wadia to do.

"Forget it, just invite Cabaha and his family to the Heavenly Palace... and claim to the outside world that I was the one who put him under house arrest."

In this way, the dissatisfaction within the army can be calmed. When the time comes, a new plan acceptable to all parties will be presented, and the matter can be regarded as settled.

"Understood." Wadia nodded seriously, suddenly remembered something, and continued, "By the way... there is one more thing I have to report to you."

Absek pressed his eyebrows and said casually.

"What's up?"

Wadia said cautiously.

"The Zaid you sent to the east previously recruited the Gray Wolf Army."

Absek raised his head and opened his mouth unconsciously. He was stunned for a long time before speaking.

"...Does this guy still have this ability?"

Is that the guy who makes a show of worshiping him whenever he sees him?

Wadia nodded subtly, obviously feeling incredible.

They had no hope of recruiting the Gray Wolf Army, but this unknown guy who jumped out of nowhere actually persuaded the Gray Wolf Army to surrender.

But no matter what, this is indeed a good thing, at least they have nothing to worry about.

"We also received the telegram just now. They are currently heading to Snake State in accordance with your order..."

Snake State…

That's Shah Rukh's territory now.

Absek closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and said.

"If Zaid really has the ability to persuade the Gray Wolf Army to surrender, he might be able to make Shah Rukh drink from it."

Wadia paused slightly.

"You want to drive away the wolf and the tiger?"

Absek chuckled.

"I don't think he has that ability, but it would be nice to be able to knock Shah Rukh off."

Since he can't command these two armies and has no time to take care of them, it's better to let them fight in the nest. Fortunately, it won't affect the deployment of the front line.

Anyway, he would have to settle the debt with Shah Rukh for escaping from the battlefield.

Want to watch the fire from the other side and take advantage?

He will let that guy know that there is no such thing as a door!

Listening to this clever plan, Wadia couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised "the wise leader."

He admired this commander from the bottom of his heart.

Although this person is not as upright as the managers of the alliance, but in terms of cunning alone, the managers of the alliance may not be his opponent.

This is not something to be proud of, but it is still a skill.

If it were that guy Janusz who sat in the position of commander, I'm afraid he would end up being shot on the throne a few times over again...

While the war in Borneo was in full swing, the Baiyue Strait across the sea was calm and peaceful.

Fries Port and Youtiao Port face each other across the strait.

The two ports were originally the size of fishing villages, but now they have developed.

Whether it is the clean and tidy streets or the rows of well-proportioned houses, they have long been different from the past.

Standing on the deck of the cargo ship, Arman squinted his eyes and looked in the north direction, and said to Henk from the New World.

"The north shore is Chip Harbor...see that beach?"

Henk looked in the direction pointed by Arman's index finger.

That's the edge of Chip Harbor, close to the jungle on the far west side. I saw unique villas dotted along the beautiful coastline.

The small bungalows seemed to be integrated with the environment, not like they were built brick by brick, but like they grew out of the ground.

He had never seen anything so weird before, and Henk couldn't help but open his eyes.

"That is?"

Armen smiled.

"That's a biomass material produced by the alliance... I don't know the details, but I'm not talking about those houses, but the beach."

Hunk looked at him confused.

"Is there anything special about that beach?"

Armen narrowed his eyes and continued.

"More than a year ago, when the Empire was still there, a group of 'grey wolves' came ashore here and tried to launch a surprise attack on French Fries Port. As a result, they were driven back to the sea by the Alliance people."

I heard that there are many hidden secrets in that matter, and even aquatic mutants are involved.

But the most widely circulated version is the version he is talking about now.

The spread of truth is not without loss.

Even if it's such a trivial thing.

"The Alliance and the Empire...were once enemies?" An expression of disbelief was written on Henk's face, which was completely different from the Western Legion's propaganda.

The news he heard was that the Empire repeatedly jumped between the Legion and the Alliance, taking the benefits of the Legion but wanting to turn to the Alliance.

The cowardly civil servant group connived at those cunning rats, which eventually led to the tragedy of West Sail Harbor, so the Southern Army launched a just war.

Looking at the surprised Henk, Arman grinned and said.

"It is the same now, but their enemy is only the empire and has nothing to do with the survivors living there."

Unexpectedly, Henk glanced at his compatriot twice.

He found that since leaving the legion's sphere of influence, the smile on this guy's face had increased.

He became more and more curious, what was so special about this alliance that could make even a Wilant person yearn for it so much.

"Will we dock there?"

He was full of interest in the rich port.

Not only because of the pleasant scenery and beautiful views, but also because his intuition told him that there might be business opportunities there that could make him make a comeback!

A brand new route!

This is much more attractive than the high-risk arms trade.

Looking at the nearby harbor, Alman smiled and said.

"Our destination is not here, but a place called Settlement No. 1."

Henk asked subconsciously.

"Where is that?"

Alman replied without hesitation.

"It is the former French Fries Port, which is also a place full of hope."
