Chapter 176 etc.

Mueller was so surprised that he doubted his eyes and ears a little.

Is this still the proud and conceited John who can't tolerate half a word from others?

Is it wrong for me to accuse him so unceremoniously? Before, I would have been arguing red and red.Now he not only accepts his merciless criticism, but also bows to express his gratitude?

With the bad relationship between Mueller and John, is it possible for such a thing to happen?
The No.1 in the Brilliant Empire Army is naturally the Grand Duke Mattesias who sits on the front line of Edinburgh and directs the battle.As for who can rank second from the Grand Duke down, there are various theories and opinions.

After all, everyone has never fought a serious battle, and lacks any achievements, so it is impossible to compare each other's abilities.

But if you insist on comparing, you can always find a basis.It's just this standard. Of course, everyone finds what is beneficial to him.

In the various comparisons or rankings that are not formal but widely circulated, General John, the representative of the Mesozoic Era, and General Muller, the representative of the Young Men, are the two most mentioned names.

From this point of view alone, the two have reasons to be hostile to each other.

In addition to these superficial things, the differences in the styles and even personalities of the two commanding troops also made them dislike each other.

General John is familiar with military books, and he is familiar with various military theories and famous ancient and modern battles. He often makes incisive conclusions about current events and war situations in various parts of Oscontinent, which amazes those who hear it.Coupled with his swiftness and courage when he wiped out bandits and bandits in the province, depending on the first battle, people affirmed his military talent.

If General John is a representative of the academic school, on the contrary, Muller should be regarded as a representative of the practical school.

He is rough and bold by nature and doesn't like reading, even military books.I think that no matter how extravagant the talk is, it's useless to be logical. It's better to train soldiers, drill formations, and even pull them on the battlefield to do a real fight.

Muller not only said so, but also did so.He once brought his tiger cavalry regiment to the front line of Edinburgh, and under the command of the Grand Duke Mattesias, he actually fought several battles with the army of the Riga Empire-of course, the result was more defeats than victories.

This also gave General John a reason to ridicule and despise him: Look, nine out of ten battles, this is your skill?
And Muller quickly retaliated: If it was you, you would be caught or killed by the enemy in the first battle, and you would not even have a chance to lose later.

Every time the two met, they would sarcasm and sarcasm mercilessly, neither would let the other.But in general, Muller is far inferior to the opponent in terms of verbal skill alone.

Now General John's painting style has changed suddenly, becoming both sincere and docile, which made Muller feel very uncomfortable for a while.

Anthony quickly helped General John up and led him to his seat.

General John sighed deeply as he sat down.

"General Muller needs no doubts. What I said just now is from the bottom of my heart, not irony. Well, after reading a few military books and suppressing a few bandits, I thought I was a famous general in the world. It's ridiculous and lamentable. This time Going out to suppress the rebellion can be regarded as letting the general see clearly that he is really the frog sitting at the bottom of the well, watching the small world above his head smugly croaking all day long. If Mr. Anthony is not a genius, he will make a move at the critical moment Help, thousands of soldiers in Aberdeen will pay for the pride and conceit of this general.”

As he spoke, he wanted to bow to Anthony to thank him, but Anthony hurriedly dissuaded him.

Mueller observed carefully from the side, seeing that General John's tone and expression were extremely sincere, not like a fake, he couldn't help but secretly marveled.

He is very clear about General John's temper, one of which is conceited and narrow-minded.Stubborn, paranoid, and unrepentant personality is also well-known within the Imperial Army system.

Now that he can sincerely admit his mistakes, his personality has undergone an earth-shaking change as if he was a different person. Obviously, he has been completely convinced by Anthony.It can be seen from this that the young man's leadership ability and strong personality charm are evident.

Muller was still speculating before that General John was kicked out of his post by his unbearable subordinates because of a serious mistake.Or the resourceful young man used some means to snatch the command of the army, so as to prevent General John from completely leading the Aberdeen army into the ditch.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all. General John is sincerely convinced and willing to abdicate, and hand over the actual command of the army.Not only did he not interfere with it, but he did his best to assist and cooperate with him.

How could Mueller not be shocked and amazed.

Is this the so-called capable omnipotent?

General John's personality and attitude changed drastically, and he readily admitted his mistakes as soon as he came up, and Mueller couldn't be aggressive and clung to him.It was the first time that two people who had always disliked each other sat together without blushing and thick necks.The two looked at each other, both feeling fresh and weird.

The entire process of the counter-insurgency war has just been introduced by Anthony, and then the review of the gains and losses will inevitably damage General John's face.Muller and him can be considered to have settled their suspicions now, and turned their hostility into friendship, but it is not easy to continue this topic.

Muller is all right, but General John has questions about him.

"From what General Muller said just now, the Tiger Cavalry Regiment only set off on July 7, and arrived in less than half a month. Why is it so fast?"

The Tiger Cavalry Regiment is a pure cavalry unit with super mobility.According to common sense, half a month to catch up with this distance is considered slow.However, the Burgundy province is dominated by hilly terrain, and the roads are extremely difficult.Marching on those mountain roads, even the speed of pure cavalry troops was greatly slowed down.

For example, why was the commercial road from Edinburgh to Krakow, Burgundy province that Anthony opened for the Hilton family, so difficult to pass before him?It is precisely because of the rugged mountain roads and complex terrain that even if the army marches on it, it will be slowed down, and it is even more difficult to display the strength of the army.Those bandits and bandits just go to any cave or tunnel, or the enemy advances and retreats to fight guerrilla warfare. No matter how many troops you come, it will be useless, and it is impossible to talk about bandits.

Taking into account the adverse effects of terrain factors, the speed with which Muller led the army to help was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Speaking of this, Muller also became interested.

"Well, I really want to thank our Brother Anthony."

John was taken aback when he heard this: What does this have to do with Anthony?He has always been with our Aberdeen army and has never left.

Looking back at Anthony, he saw that the young man also had a look of astonishment, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of Mueller's words.

Muller looked at Anthony with a big laugh and said, "Brother, do you still remember 'If you want to get rich, build roads first'?"

General John looked blank, not knowing what he was talking about.Anthony suddenly realized, and understood it all at once.

At the court meeting, Anthony beheaded Prince Riga in public on his own initiative, and the Duke of Keqishi, who had not yet rebelled at the time, advocated severe punishment for him.His Majesty the King followed suit and ordered Anthony to assist Prince Andre in governing political affairs in order to "make up for the mistakes".

With Anthony's assistance, Prince Andre presided over a lot of affairs, several of which were quite effective, and were highly appreciated by His Majesty the King.

Of course, there are also suggestions and opinions that are not accepted, such as the proposal to pave a large number of roads in major provinces across the country to improve the speed and efficiency of traffic and transportation in various places.

His Majesty the King looked down on it, but the Grand Duke Mateus was very interested in this proposal.By chance, I saw the abandoned plan that Anthony casually called "If you want to get rich, build roads first", he immediately snatched it, and said that he should find someone to study it.

It seems that he not only found someone to study, but also implemented it earnestly.

"Don't even mention that His Majesty the King had some reason for not adopting this plan at the beginning. It really took too much time. Not to mention the cost of money and materials, manpower and time are also very costly. Not to mention that our Bo The province of Burgundy is dominated by mountains, with complex terrain, and the cost and difficulty of laying roads may be twice that of other provinces. It has been half a year since construction started, and only a few main roads have been paved."

Muller vomited a lot of bitterness, but obviously suppressed it first and then raised it, and then he will talk about his pride.

"Although only a few main roads leading to neighboring provinces have been repaired, the effect is completely beyond our expectations. Originally, the reason why my old man took a fancy to this plan was because the traffic conditions in Burgundy province are very good. It's too bad, and we must start to improve. Otherwise, if the battle ahead is unfavorable, no matter what kind of response our province has to make, it may be difficult to keep up with the speed of the situation due to the constraints of the terrain. Unexpectedly, after the spacious and flat official road is repaired, the first It is business that benefits. The joke of the Anthony brothers, "If you want to get rich, build roads first", actually happened."

Listening to Mueller's description, General John was also a little surprised and admired Anthony even more.

As expected, he is indeed the supreme genius who emerges once every thousand years in the empire, and his dazzling light is not limited to martial arts cultivation and army commanding ability.

Anthony, like General John, showed a surprised expression very cooperatively, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.

What the Grand Duke "accidentally" saw, this is basically his directing.

The historical development directions of Osland and the different world where the system is located are different, and the social structure is also different, but there are always similarities and places that can be used for reference.

As far as the current glorious empire is concerned, it is roughly equivalent to a feudal society in another world.The economic form is mainly based on land, combining agriculture and handicrafts, and the mode of production is mostly based on the family or family unit, which has strong independence and closed characteristics.

As for commerce, it is not very developed.Edinburgh is the only big city in the entire empire with a large number of merchants and a strong commercial atmosphere.

And the status of businessmen in society is very embarrassing, no matter how much money they have.

A big merchant like the Hilton family can be considered extremely strong financially.Even before Anthony joined, there were not many companies in the country that could overwhelm them in terms of wealth.

But what about their social status?Looking at how the two patriarchs tried their best to enter the real aristocratic circle at any cost, you can probably guess one or two.

The economies of various places are relatively closed, and commercial circulation is not frequent.There is no precedent, and there is no similar empirical evidence. It is difficult for the high-level officials of the empire and the major provinces to have an accurate concept of how much smooth traffic and transportation channels can promote business and the economy.

But Anthony can "see" very clearly.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first" seems like a joke here.But in the other world, it is the last word of economic development.

With the help of Anthony, the Hilton family opened a small business route to a county in the province of Burgundy, which allowed them to get rid of the family crisis and turned defeat into victory.One can imagine the lucrative benefits of this business.

Of course, there is a factor that rare things are more expensive, but there is no doubt about the richness of Burgundy's products and the popularity of the products.As long as the commercial roads are unblocked, even if the unit price of the goods will drop as a result, the quantity will increase by tens of thousands of times, and the commercial income of the Burgundy province will naturally rise steadily, making Grand Duke Mateus laugh. From ear to ear.

All of this was foreseen by Anthony at the beginning of making the plan.It can even be said that the most important and core part of Anthony's plan is in the province of Burgundy.

Therefore, when His Majesty the King rejected his proposal, Antony found another way to extract the part of the plan that specifically targeted the Burgundy province, and then "coincidentally" showed it to Duke Mateusta.

After that, everything will be logical.

Of course, for the three people present, there is no time to care about business and the economy. It is a surprise that Muller and the Tiger Cavalry can come early with the help of a smooth official road.

But the question they need to consider most now is the next move of the two armies of Aberdeen and Burgundy.

"Facts have proved that Mr. Anthony's leadership ability is a hundred times better than mine. Whether the soldiers in Aberdeen will advance or retreat, attack or defend, it is all up to Mr. Anthony to decide, there will be no doubts!"

General John took the lead in expressing his position, and the attitude of completely giving up power did not surprise everyone.

Not only that, but he also aimed at Muller at the side: "As for the Tiger Cavalry Regiment... General Muller must be aware of the disadvantages of going out of many doors. Mr. Anthony is more suitable. With all due respect, although General Muller has outstanding abilities, he may still be inferior to Mr. Anthony."

With this tone and attitude, Mueller finally regained the familiar feeling that the two met before.

"Hmph! What did General John say? If you want to take this handsome position, I will naturally have to compete with you. But since you recommend Brother Anthony, then I have no objection. I know my own affairs, and if I fight Franky, I really can't beat him."

Muller has a straightforward temper and unabashedly admits that he is not Frankie's opponent.

Moreover, he is very clear about his own abilities. He is still capable of leading the charge and being a breakthrough general.But commanding the whole army, coordinating and mobilizing all the troops to cooperate in the battle is not his specialty.

Even General John, whom he has always looked down upon, is probably better than himself in this respect.

General John smiled and nodded again and again: "That's good."

Then he turned to Anthony and asked for instructions: "Mr. Anthony, I will trouble you next time."

Muller also yelled: "Brother Anthony, tell me how we fight next? Should we just catch up and fight, or go to copy their lair after slowly repairing?"

The leaders of the two armies pushed themselves to the commander-in-chief position in a few words. Anthony did not pretend to refuse, but accepted it frankly.

To the question of the two of them, Anthony only gave one word:

"Wait."

The two old enemies from the past looked at each other, both very puzzled.

Wait?
What are you waiting for?
