Chapter 1456: Military Conference of the Frankish Empire

Allen stuffed enough bread into his mouth haphazardly to fill his stomach hastily.

After casually saying "I'm going out", Allen stood up and left the table, preparing to go to the palace.

On a wall that leads from the dining table to the door of the house, there is a portrait of Allen's mother.

Every time he saw his mother's portrait, Allen would stop unconsciously and look at her mother's smiling face in the portrait.

Since being made a noble by Emperor Shade, Allen can't help but think of this every time he sees his mother's portrait:

——Mother...will you be happy after seeing me becoming a noble in this way...will you feel proud...

…

…

The Frankish Empire, the imperial capital Bellou, the royal palace, Shade's room.

Knock, knock, knock, knock.

There were regular knocks outside the door.

The sound of this knock on the door made Emperor Xia De, who was immersed in the sea of ​​books, escape from the sea of ​​books.

"Come in!"

After obtaining Shade's permission to enter, the door was pushed open.

Erwin, the prime minister of the Frank Empire, opened the door and slowly walked into Shade's room.

"Your Majesty." After Erwin saluted Emperor Shade, he found Emperor Shade sitting at the desk, reading a book with a blank cover.

"Your Majesty..." Erwin couldn't help but frown slightly, "Are you...reading that book again?"

"Yeah." Shade nodded vigorously with a slight smile on his face, "After all - this set of books is really great. I can gain something new every time I read it."

"As long as I keep reading and studying hard, I will definitely gain more! I will govern this country better!"

Looking at Shade in front of him, Erwin couldn't help but feel a little complicated...

A few months ago, the number one spy of their Frank Empire, Ebel, successfully completed the task assigned to him by Shade and stole Ilsa who had been watching from the White Palace of the Britannia Empire. of books with blank covers.

After the set of books arrived safely at Bailu, Shade was happy and sad at the same time.

What Xade is happy about is that he can finally see the true content of this strange book that is said to teach people how to govern a country.

The sad thing is that his cronies, Ebel, the first spy of the Frank Empire, paid the price with their lives to successfully steal this set of books.

Ebel, who sacrificed his life, didn't even have a chance to return home.

After all, transporting a body back to the country is extremely difficult.

Therefore, the remaining spies lurking in the areas around Pendragon could only bury Ebel in an inconspicuous place on the outskirts of Pendragon.

There was no way for Ebel to erect even a tombstone.

Abel's loyalty and Abel's ability are obvious to all, including Shade and the central ministers.

After learning that Abel died in a foreign country, Shade was so sad that he burst into tears.

But - after browsing the set of books with blank covers, Shade's sadness at Ebel's death was slightly diluted by his joy.

Because Shade discovered that this set of books can really teach people how to govern a country. starter

The various strange stories recorded in it really contain a lot of principles of governing the country.

Every time he watched it, Shade benefited a lot.

Shade believes that as long as he keeps studying this set of books,

As long as you know more and more principles of governing the country, you will be able to govern the Frank Empire better.

So——Xia De, who is obsessed with this set of books, has been obsessed with this set of books for the past few months.

I read this book whenever I have time.

Erwin always felt that there was something wrong with Shade's obsession with this set of books.

He also advised Shade many times not to spend too much time on this set of books.

But...Xia De didn't listen to his advice at all...

"Erwin, why are you looking for me suddenly?"

"Your Majesty, the generals are already here."

"...Okay." Shade closed the book in his hand with a sullen face, "Let's go. Don't keep the generals waiting."

…

…

Since the Nibelungen Plan ended in disastrous failure, there were only three generals left in the Frank Empire.

These three generals are-Alan von Jones, Erich von Marceuil, and Rudolf von Baumann.

After the Nibelungen Plan failed miserably and the three generals headed by Walter were killed in battle, the Frankish Empire originally had five generals.

But these five generals died of illness 3 years ago and 2 years ago respectively.

This made the current situation of "the scarcity of top generals" in the Frank Empire even worse.

The only three generals in the Frank Empire currently gathered in a secret meeting room in the Bellu Palace.

There were only five people in this secret meeting room - Emperor Shade, Prime Minister Erwin, and the three remaining generals of the empire.

After everyone arrived, Emperor Xia De, with a solemn look on his face, said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, you should all know the purpose of why I summoned you here today."

"If the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hiran Empire launch a flanking attack on our country at the same time, what are our chances of winning?"

"I ask you this question with a painful heart. I hope that as a Frankish person and as a general of the Frankish army, you can answer my question honestly."

After saying this, Shade fell silent.

Prime Minister Erwin, who was sitting next to him, was also silent.

They were waiting for Allen's answer.

The three generals headed by Allen looked at each other for a while.

Then - Rudolf sighed first, and then said:

"Your Majesty... If the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire use all their national strength to invade our country... our country... has little chance of winning..."

"Low chance of winning" - after saying this, it seemed that Rudolf had used up all his strength.

After saying this, Rudolf closed his eyes as if he was extremely tired.

Alan and Erich, who were sitting next to him, also kept silent.

They both agreed with what Rudolf had just said.

They were all generals of the Frankish Empire who had experienced many trials of blood and fire.

Their judgments on the military level were naturally much more accurate and sharp than those of ordinary people.

Regarding the question of "Facing the attack of the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire, how much chance of winning the Frankish Empire has", their judgments were surprisingly consistent - the chance of winning was slim to almost no chance of winning.

Although Emperor Shade had roughly guessed the answer that Allen and his friends would give, after hearing them say "the chances of winning are slim", Emperor Shade still felt heavy-hearted as if a big stone was stuffed into his chest. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

"... Then, the next question."

Shade said in a deep voice.

"If - the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hiran Empire use all their national strength to attack our country, then how should we fight back to maximize our chances of winning."

"General Allen von Jones, I want to hear your thoughts first."
