I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 139: ultra vires

"I will be crowned king (!

In fact, when Lieutenant Colonel Norton Crosell led his troops to the Parliament, the battle was not far from over.

When Karl was still fighting with two companies, one street after another, to "clean up the garbage" for Winter Torch City, he happened to meet the messenger of Alexei's 2nd Infantry Regiment, and the other party told him not to continue to fight. The city gate is approaching—including the city gate, the main force of the Storm Division has taken over all the strongholds of the outer city defense of Winter Torch City.

After convincing the Winter Torch City militia with practical actions and physics.

As the officer with the highest authority in the entire Storm Division when Anson was away, Fabien resolutely ordered the assembly of the entire army as soon as he heard the cannonade in the city; he did not wait any longer when it was confirmed that the shelling point was at the Council. , directly ordered the blockade of the road, and the whole army marched towards the city.

Then the attackers started to create chaos in the city, and gunshots rang out one after another in the direction of the council, and Fabian no longer waited.

Obviously, Winter Torch City, which has only competed with indigenous people, bandits, beasts and small-scale mercenary groups, does not have the experience of confronting thousands of people and starting a fight if they disagree.

In order to prevent the other party from misunderstanding that he was not serious, Fabien directly ordered the loading of blasting bombs and fired at the city gate and four towers; the unprepared Winter Torch City failed to prevent a single shot, and was directly taken by the feigned skirmishers in the panic. Down the gate.

The next thing is logical: after understanding the attitude of the Storm Division, the Winter Torch City militia chose to reason between reasoning and going to hell, and took the initiative to disarm, and handed over the control of the city gate and stronghold to the Storm Division.

Fabian, who had captured the city gate, and the officers corps, successfully converged with the other three infantry companies sent by Karl; The meeting, after careful discussion, confirmed the plan to suppress the whole town.

Referring to Carl Bain's "step by step" plan, Fabian divided the entire storm division, and used half-battalion (two companies) as a unit to advance to each city area to suppress all the thugs who tried to resist.

As for how to clean up, the former Guards officers have rich experience in this regard - divide the city into different areas according to the layout of streets and buildings, block all entrances and exits in the city, destroy the commanding heights with artillery bombardment, send a unit to encircle and suppress, and the rest block Stay on the point, once the target is in range, kill it on the spot.

The Winter Torch City, which was shrouded in thick smoke, was full of fires. The sound of gunshots echoed in the buildings one after another. Heavy artillery carts ran over the ice and snow that had been soaked in red.

Although the efficiency is not high, the storm division is invincible, and the line infantry with rifles lined up in a row is like a scavenger in the city, in the quagmire of the city where there is no one in the city.

Due to the urgency of the situation, except for the initial verbal warning given by the Storm Division before the suppression, after that, there was no distinction between friend and foe. As long as the soldiers determined that there was a threat on the opposite side, they would cut off the fire decisively.

Many taverns that survived the mob attack did not understand the situation, and regarded the Storm Division as an imperial army, bravely hiding in the tavern attic and under the windows to shoot cold shots, or raiding the soldiers responsible for rioting from the street... and then immediately He was bombarded by a six-pounder, and his attic was blasted to the sky. Broken bones and meat dregs accompanied by blood, sprinkled on the streets and alleys like raindrops.

The streets and alleys full of blood and corpses were silent, except for the sound of soldiers locking bolts and military boots stepping on snowflakes.

At the same time, the thugs who realized that something was wrong also began to flee; they left the Winter Torch City in the opposite direction of the Storm Division; they did not forget to set fire to cover before running away... Under the howling wind, the gushing flames were very strong. It soon covered the surrounding streets and alleys, turning the originally intact community into a sea of ​​dead fire.

The residents of Winter Torch City, who thought they had finally escaped the disaster, immediately became the burial objects for the thugs to escape; hundreds of refugees immediately emerged from the thick smoke, but because there was no order, there was no protection. Measures, trampling, crashing, getting lost... All kinds of accidents emerged one after another. Most people were not burned to death, but more often died at the hands or feet of their neighbors.

Fabian did not order the people who were fleeing for their lives, and even strictly prohibited the artillery from firing so as not to injure innocent people—the roads outside the city had all been blocked by the Storm Division, and the two cavalry company commanders were worried that there were no headshots.

Those who escaped to the wilderness sporadically did not need the Storm Master to do it themselves; even if they could really return to Sail City, at least two-thirds of them would die on the road, and it was unknown when they would be able to escape.

As the Winter Torch City is gradually swallowed up by the sea of ​​fire, this sudden riot is about to come to an end...

"You wait first."

Raising his hand to stop the chattering scout, Carl's face was full of confusion: "I have roughly understood the situation, but there are a few questions that I need to explain to you."

"Please speak."

The scout wiped his sweat and swallowed dryly down his throat.

"Blocking roads, encircling and suppressing targeted areas, and suppressing subdivisions... I understand all of these. Fabian is more experienced in this area than all of us." Carl took a deep breath and frowned together:

"But... you said that you controlled the city gate before the people I sent?"

"Yes."

"Without any orders from the commander-in-chief?"

"No - the situation was urgent at the time. We heard the sound of artillery in the city and set off immediately." The scout added: "Lieutenant Colonel Fabien saw that the situation was wrong, and he could not persuade the militia defending the city in a short time, so he ordered a siege of the city. ."

"So Fabien made this decision?" Karl, who was full of disbelief, repeated the question:

"He called a military meeting without any instructions, got permission from the officer corps, and ordered a siege?"

It wasn't that Karl didn't believe what the scout said, but that he didn't believe that the former Guards officer would do such a thing—and he probably couldn't.

That's right, under the normal Clovis standing army system, if the top military commander is absent, the second-ranked commander, especially the "deputy commander" of the grenadier regiment, has the right to call an emergency military meeting , to carry out necessary military operations with the consent of the majority.

Carl Bain couldn't be more clear about this - that's how his officers in the past put all the blame and trouble on his "adjutant".

But the problem is, the Storm Division is not a serious...normal army!

Although the standing army has been established, the "dividend system" within the entire army still exists. After attracting the two major investors, Rune and Franz, Anson Bach, the commander-in-chief, has almost unlimited authority over him. There are no checks and balances or assistance, and there is absolutely no difference.

To put it simply, the officer corps of other levies are the relationship between major shareholders and a group of small shareholders; while the storm division is two top investors, Anson Bach is the CEO, and the officer corps can at most get dividends The senior middle-level, soldiers and low-level officers are wage workers who are paid dead wages and occasionally have project bonuses.

Even if the establishment has been successfully obtained now, everyone is a member of the system; but the profit of the "project" that Anson has worked hard to get in the new world is still several times or even dozens of times the dead salary given by the army, and even whether the salary can be The safe delivery depends on the performance level of the commander-in-chief.

Under this system, Fabian, the nominal deputy commander, is actually just a "head of the major department" guy. How could he command the officer corps without Anson's authorization?

"of course not."

The messenger quickly replied: "To be precise, Lieutenant Colonel Fabian just assembled the army at first and negotiated with the city gate guards - the order to fire the artillery was not given by him."

Um?

Carl was stunned for a moment, and his expression became even more puzzled: "It wasn't from him... Who is that?"

 …

"it's me."

In the parliament hall, Talia, with a bit of self-reproach in her expression, leaned on a chair half-kneeling and half-sitting, and carefully cleaned his wound with clean water and a silk scarf and handkerchief:

"The situation was urgent at that time, and the officers of Lieutenant Colonel Fabian and the Storm Division did not receive any instructions. They could only confront the defenders of the city gate and could do nothing."

"As it happens, Talia was just outside the city at the time, so instead of Anson, they allowed them to implement the collective decision in the form of an emergency military meeting - including firing at the city gate, it was Talia's decision, Lieutenant Colonel Fabian and the others just implemented it. ."

The girl suddenly paused, her head raised slightly, and her shimmering eyes looked at him: "An Sen... won't blame Talia?"

"No... No! How could I blame you, I can't thank you enough!"

Feeling the cold touch of the handkerchief sliding across his neck, Anson, whose hairs were trembling slightly, showed a polite smile: "Thanks to Talia, otherwise the loss that Stormmaster would have to bear this time is simply... unimaginable. what!"

"Really?" Talia seemed a little disbelieving, and suddenly pursed her lips in aggrieved:

"I don't blame Talia for the idea of ​​interfering with the army - after all, Anson is the commander-in-chief of the Storm Division, and Talia is just Anson's fiancee. This seems to be suspected of violating the laws of the kingdom."

"A violation is a violation, so what?"

The commander-in-chief shook his head vigorously, his expression more sincere and sincere: "Extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary circumstances - it is urgent to follow the authority."

"But doing so may affect Anson's authority in the Storm Division..." Talia still seemed worried:

"You must know that without Anson's order in the past, the Storm Division would not be dispatched; this time giving them the opportunity to vote collectively in the form of an emergency military meeting is likely to set a very bad precedent in the future... "

"It doesn't matter anymore." Anson continued to try to comfort:

"The new world is different from Hantu. This time we really want to completely overthrow the empire's rule and establish a new country in the colony - this time we have no local assistance, and even the entire operation has not been authorized by the army and the royal family, just It's just 'acquiescence'; in this case, we would have tried to get the officer corps as part of us as possible."

"Anson means... you planned to do this originally?"

"That's right! Decentralization is only the first step. Next, we have to continue to increase the proportion of dividends. This war that determines the status of the Rune family in the new world cannot be just the Rune family's own business. It must be made by everyone. Only we can have absolute certainty about our career.”

"real?"

"Of course it's true - when did I lie to you?" How sincere Anson's expression is:

"To the Rune family, I, Anson Bach, have always been loyal!"

Looking at his expression that was exactly the same as when he promised Sophia that he would never betray the Franz family, Talia's face finally showed a gratifying smile:

"Dear Anson, Talia will never doubt your loyalty."

With a harmless face, An Sen took the handkerchief that the girl held tightly to his neck, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

To be honest, it’s not that he didn’t understand the reason why the girl did this—the current stage is the rising period of the Storm Division, and his status as the commander-in-chief of the garrison corps has naturally risen, and there are still signs of becoming the leader of the Free Confederation.

Talia is not Sophia, and it is impossible for her to trust her 100% loyalty; having learned from her mentor Mace Hornard, it is quite normal to "beat" yourself occasionally.

And this kind of innocuous warning will not really interfere with her own position; after all, Talia can't really control the storm division over herself, and a small "beat" is better than Professor Mace Hornard's kind of Mingli. The hidden threat is much stronger.

What's more, Anson didn't lie. This kind of "emergency" was good for the Storm Division; not only could it reasonably directly control a colony, but it also gave him the opportunity to control and further weaken the opponent.

So far, among the five colonies at the beginning of the Free Confederation, Grey Pigeon Castle is a complete puppet, Changhu Town and Winter Torch City are vassals with garrison troops, and Red Hand Bay is an ally who can squeeze whatever they want.

Only Black Reef Harbor remains, not under the control of Beluga Harbor...for now.

Anson is not worried about this. Since Bernard Morwest sent someone to attack Winter Torch City, it proves that he is ready to attack Black Reef Harbor; as long as Black Reef Harbor falls, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com Those liberals who have bought insurance can only bow their heads to the storm division no matter how reluctant they are.

Just as he was about to continue to show his loyalty to Talia, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him; the former Guards officer approached quietly, stopped when there were still about three meters left, and coughed lightly to remind him. With a sound, hands behind his back.

An Sen turned his head to look: "How's the interrogation going?"

"Everyone who is still alive has been interrogated, and the situation is not ideal - most of the attackers don't know what's going on. They just got the bounty from Yangfan City and want to take advantage of the chaos." Fabian Shen channel:

"But the guy named Xie Glenn said something very interesting."
