Chapter 202
The army of more than ten thousand is like a torrent, rushing to the south.

Count Lev watched quietly, and after a while, he spoke to the Grand Duke Smovar next to him and said, "Your Excellency is really willing to give these 15000 soldiers to an outsider."

Duke Smolwa stroked his beard and said nonchalantly: "There is nothing to be reluctant about, but I have a habit of either not betting, or betting big if I want to bet. Now that the decision has been made, don't be half-hearted. If you want to make a big bet, make a big bet."

He turned his head and glanced at Count Lev, "It's the Earl, who usually hides so deeply that I can't even see the clues. If Anthony hadn't greeted me, the old man would be the first to clean it up." , I’m afraid it’s your Charlton family.”

The third young master behind Count Lev smiled wryly.

Don't talk about you, even my son got his father's political stance wrong before.

Count Lev quickly saluted, and said apologetically, "This is my duty, and I didn't intend to deliberately conceal it from the Duke. On behalf of the Charlton family, I hereby apologize to the Duke."

Grand Duke Smolwa also quickly reached out to help him up.

"I know, I know. If it weren't for you, the Charlton family, the matter would not have ended so smoothly! How can I blame you."

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that Charlton, as a pawn of the royal family in an ambush in Hanover Province, had originally been the Grand Duke of Smolwa.

If the Grand Duke's mansion had finally fallen to the Riga Empire, then the sharp knife hidden in the dark by the Charlton family would have pierced the chest of the Grand Duke Smolwa.

It's just that there are no ifs in this world. Since the two are now in the same camp, there is no need to mention all the previous assumptions.The Grand Duke brought up this topic only to remind Count Lev and the royal family behind him, and to express his attitude.

Count Lev also understood the other party's slight dissatisfaction, so he quickly changed the subject.

"There are rumors that just a few days ago, the Duke and Anthony had a military contest. I don't know if it is true, and what is the final outcome? I am going to ask the Duke for advice."

Grand Duke Smolwa smiled slyly: "Well, it is a military secret and should not be disclosed."

Count Lev shook his head and smiled wryly, knowing that this was a small revenge by the Grand Duke.

"By the way, the development and expansion of your Charlton family seems to be quite rapid during this period of time?"

Duke Smolwa asked back.

"Indeed." Earl Lev answered every question, "Thanks to Her Royal Highness, the armed forces of all the nobles have been greatly reduced, and they are all detained in the northern suburbs barracks. Only members of our Charlton family were detained. Quietly let it back. My family is not weak in the first place, so the power balance is even more disparate. At that time, we knew that Mr. Anthony was about to launch, so we didn't need to worry too much. We used some tough methods against some nobles. It's all going well."

Duke Smolwa nodded, knowing that he was telling the truth, and even more knowing that he had been showing kindness.The duke is very sophisticated, and he also understands that his little dissatisfaction should be stopped in moderation.

The following congratulated with a smile: "Then I will congratulate the Earl here first. I, a Marquis of Hanover, has already fallen. In terms of strength and status, it is the Earl who is most likely to replace him. Plus you check With the merits of the Leighton family, there is absolutely no possibility that the title of Marquis will go to another family. Maybe, His Majesty’s certificate of commendation and honor guard are on their way now!"

Count Lev blushed and smiled: "Then I will accept your words from Your Excellency the Duke."

He has no hypocritical modesty, because there is no need for it.As the Grand Duke said, besides him, who else is qualified to sit in this position.

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

The Grand Duke of Smolwa suddenly said with a straight face: "After our clean-up operation this time, the province of Hanover will be under the joint control of you and me in the future. Due to the geographical location, the possibility of us encountering foreign enemies is very small. The only trouble And hidden dangers can only come from within the province. Therefore, you and I should work together and cooperate sincerely to create a safe and stable rear."

Count Lev also put away his smile, and nodded seriously.

"The Grand Duke said so!"

……

It was getting late, and the Hannover army that was going all the way south stopped their journey, chose a place to set up camp, and cooked and rested.

In the middle of the continuous camp, one tent was much taller than the others.The surrounding soldiers patrolled and guarded tightly.It is where the Chinese army's big account is located.

The newly appointed army coach Anthony was at the top, and the generals below stood in two rows on the left and right.

The door curtain was lifted, and Tang Feng walked in with great strides.He bowed his hands to Anthony at the head, and then stood in the middle and rear of the queue.

Although everyone present knew clearly that Tang Feng was the confidant and beloved general of the newly appointed young coach, and had outstanding training and commanding skills.Even if you stand at the front of the queue, no one will have any objections.But Tang Feng didn't rely on his status, and he didn't want to let the local military officers have a bad impression of himself and the boss, so he just found a relatively back position.

He had only 300 soldiers from Aberdeen and 1000 "thieves" who had surrendered and turned into soldiers.And the official position is also a general manager who is neither high nor low - Tang Feng's official position in the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army was the general manager, but after he left the army and came to Hannover, this status naturally became history.When Anthony took office, the first thing he did was to put the hat back on him.

According to Tang Feng's rough estimation, this position is suitable for him now.

Anyway, it was just a position, Tang Feng didn't care at all.There's no need to make others feel bad because of this little face.

He stood in the queue, and the officers around him smiled and nodded to him, with a friendly attitude and a hint of flattery.

According to Tang Feng's commanding ability, it is somewhat strange that he was the last one to reach the top of the agenda.Everyone knew the reason, but no one asked.

Because the taciturn Mr. Tang Feng Qian regarded ordinary marching as training.Reconnaissance, ambush, blocking, almost all kinds of training failed, and they were directly regarded as actual combat exercises in a temporary state.Even they are still trying to train the arrangement and transformation of the formation while the army is marching.

On the one hand, he was concentrating on marching, and on the other hand, he also had to take into account training while marching. Of course, the speed was incomparable.

The officers in Hanover finally understood that the 1300 men defeated their own troops twice, and it was no fluke to win.This kind of training intensity and attitude that integrates training into every part of daily life and assumes that he is in a combat state at any time is far from what he and the soldiers under his command can match.

"Okay, everyone is here. Now, the meeting begins!"

Anthony coughed lightly and started the first military meeting he hosted.

"Everyone must be aware of the current situation of the empire. The Edinburgh province in the east is doing its best to prevent the invasion of the Riga Empire; the Aberdeen province in the southwest has been damaged in the counter-insurgency war, and now it is on the defensive. The defense tower Lanto's attack; the Burgundy province in the middle is located at the center, in addition to guarding against Brussels' attack, it is also responsible for supporting the other two battlefields at any time."

"So we also have three options for going in."

"According to my analysis, although the army of the Riga Empire is fierce, and the leader of the army, General Dino, is also well-known, the Grand Duke Mattesias is also experienced and cannot be humiliated. In addition, there is a strong pass to rely on, and it will be difficult for the enemy to come. Make a difference."

"The province of Burgundy is powerful, and the terrain is generally rugged and difficult to navigate. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Brussels can't do anything to them either."

"The rest is the province of Taranto that poses the greatest threat."

Anthony stopped and looked down and around.

Everyone stood up straight, looked at him with piercing eyes, and listened very seriously.

"Taranto has experienced Aberdeen's counter-insurgency campaign. Although it has resisted in the past, the soldiers have suffered a lot of damage. Their military strength is inherently weak, so they should be even weaker and deceptive. However, I am here solemnly I would like to remind everyone: If this is what you think in your heart, then quickly get rid of this thought from your mind now!"

"Don't forget, they resisted the conquest of the Aberdeen army. Don't forget, they almost defeated and ate the entire counter-insurgency army! Because their commander is a famous general in the mainland, General Franky of Riga .”

"Frankie commanded a weak and unfamiliar army, and he was able to achieve such a record. If he is given time to train and rectify, what we will face in the future is likely to be a completely different and powerful army. "

"So, while Taranto is still in the post-war throes and weakness, I plan to gather a large army and get rid of this potential danger first."

Anthony finished his thoughts and plans in one breath, but the people below were still staring at him closely.I don't know if I was paying attention to the lecture, or if I just put on a show and didn't take it into my heart at all.

Otherwise, why are these people still as unresponsive as before after I finished speaking?
"Cough! Do you have any comments?"

As a last resort, Anthony had to take the initiative to ask questions.

Standing in front was Marquis Marco. He was not the leading general, but he was also sent to the army by his father, the Grand Duke of Smova.

"As for Mr. Anthony's marching strategy, if you have any opinions, you might as well speak up. We need to brainstorm and work together to win a big victory."

The Grand Duke handed over the army to Anthony, and Anthony accepted it without hesitation.However, his official position is a bit unclear.Because Anthony belongs to the royal family after all, it is not easy for the Grand Duke to grant him an official position.And for a position like the commander-in-chief of the first army, the official position must not be low. It would be easy to handle it with a general manager like Tang Feng did.

Therefore, Marquis Marco can only continue to be called "Mr." for the time being.

"No opinion, no opinion! The strategy formulated by Mr. Anthony is naturally good. We don't have any opinions."

"Yes, Mr. Anthony, just give orders, and we will obey them all!"

"That's right, the last time Mister played against Frankie, who was added there, he also suffered a big loss. Now he is familiar with him again, and he has already won half of the battle before the start of the battle."

With Marquis Marco taking the lead, all the officers seemed to wake up and shouted.

It's just that Anthony's praise and admiration are full of expectations, but there are no opinions or suggestions.

Just kidding, if you still have doubts about the rumors about the boy fighting Franky, but the two contests in the northern school field of the capital city of Hannover have already convinced these officers.

For the first time, they just dispatched one subordinate, and they defeated an army twice as strong as their own.

Well, anyway, the Aberdeen army has been formed for half a year, and has fought a lot of bloody battles.On my side, I am purely a rookie recruit, so there is a reasonable explanation for losing.

The second time, Anthony went out in person, and his subordinates were replaced by an absolute mob—the family's private soldiers who had been surrendered and reorganized for less than a month.On my own side, I have learned from the experience and lessons of the last time, and I am fully prepared.How do you look at it, there must be such a chance of winning, right?

Who knew, the loss was even worse this time!

Fortunately, this is a private contest, and there are no outsiders at the scene, otherwise the Hannover army would not know where to put it.

In this way, the rumor that Anthony took command of the battle, turned the tide, saved the Aberdeen army, and forced the famous general Franky to retreat, was no longer just a rumor in the hearts of the officers and soldiers, but a very real fact.

In front of such a big bull, what opinions can the generals and leaders who have never been on the real battlefield a few times have?Dare to have any opinion?
