GOR Chapter 597 Du Wei Takes Command
"What? You want me to go to the frontlines? "
Du Wei sat in the study room. Before him stood an official from the Imperial Palace. The official was holding a letter of appointment personally signed by the Regent. Impressively, the letter appointed Du Wei as the Deputy Commander of the Northern War Zone and the Commanding General of the Eastern Fortress. He would be responsible for overseeing the Eastern Fortress and the six military checkpoints nearby. He would also be responsible for the Eastern Fortress and the five second-class fortresses of the Empire. He would have full authority over the Eastern Fortress.
Such an official document was equivalent to handing over the 200,000 soldiers in the eastern part of the war zone to him!
However, as Du Wei sat in the study room facing the official from the Imperial Palace, there was no trace of joy on his face. Instead, there was an undisguised dissatisfaction on his face.
Du Wei sat in his wheelchair and walked around the desk to stand before the official. There was a strange expression on his face as he pointed at his nose and then at his legs.
"Are you sure there is no mistake with this order? Could it be that His Highness the Regent was drunk today and randomly signed this document? " Du Wei blinked his eyes and frowned. "Look at me. I am sitting in a wheelchair. I am a cripple who can't even walk. You expect someone like me to go to the frontlines? Do you think I can ride a horse? Do you think I can fight with a sword? "
There was a bitter smile on the official's face. However, there was nothing he could do. He was just a minor Imperial Palace official in charge of passing down orders. How could he answer Du Wei's question? He could only put on a bitter face and plead softly. "Your Excellency the Duke, please don't make things difficult for me. I am only in charge of passing down orders … I don't know anything about other matters. "
Du Wei scratched his head and sighed softly. "Oh, then tell me, what is going on here?"
"This …" The palace official then said: "Today, a battle report was sent from the frontline. His Royal Highness the Regent read it in public in the main hall. After discussing it with the ministers, the military minister Camisiro recommended you, and his Royal Highness allowed it … That's about it. As for the specifics, if you ask me, I don't know."
Du Wei smiled and took the letter of appointment. He looked at it in his hand and saw that it was written in black and white with a complete signature. He nodded and took out two golden leaves from his chest and threw them to the court official. "Okay, I got it. I've troubled you to come here. You've worked hard."
The court official took the golden leaf, but there was no joy on his face. Looking at Du Wei, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency the Duke, don't tell me … you don't want to go to the palace to receive the order? All the officials in the imperial capital who have accepted the appointment have to go to the imperial palace to receive the order in person. This is the custom … "
The implication of his words seems to be that he wants Du Wei to return to the palace with him.
Du Wei waved his hand: "No need, I'm not in good health. The Regent knows this, so I don't think he will care about this kind of courtesy. You just need to go back and say that I have accepted the order. Tomorrow, I will go to the high command to officially report and hand over the paperwork. Then I will leave for the north as soon as possible … … "
The court official's eyes widened as he thought to himself: Awesome! In the end, this is the empire's number one noble! Sure enough, the Regent gave an order to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to you and you don't even want to go back and greet him in person!
However, this kind of small matter is not something a small court official like him can intervene in, so he quickly said goodbye and ran away.
When the people from the palace left, Du Wei sneered twice and casually threw the order on the table.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before murmuring in a low voice: "Prince Son will transfer me to the frontline sooner or later, this I understand … … But why is Camisiro joining in the fun? Why did he come forward to recommend me? Hmm, this must be the intention of the old man behind him … … But, that old man, what does he want? "
Du Wei deeply understands that he and the Regent are now starting to have a rift. But it's only a rift, far from the time of falling out.
The previous ruckus made all the nobles in the imperial capital nervous, but in fact, only Du Wei and the Prince Regent, who were involved in the situation, knew that both sides were just testing each other.
Falling out … … Now is far from the time, and it's not the time to break off the relationship. At least for now, both sides still care about their old friendship.
It's just a test.
As for what the test is?
It's a bit complicated to say … …
Let's put it this way: Prince Son has a terminal illness, but he doesn't want others to know, especially Du Wei. But Du Wei guessed it, but Du Wei doesn't want Prince Son to know that he guessed it. Then there's Prince Son's suspicion that Du Wei has already guessed it, but Prince Son doesn't want Du Wei to know that Du Wei guessed it. Now, Du-Wei doesn't want to let Prince Son know that he's suspecting him … …
Damn it, this is simply a super tongue twister!!
As a result, the friction between the two sides before was actually just testing each other.
Two people, one is pretending to be confused while the other is pretending to be confused.
And the core of this matter is Prince Son's illness! No matter what Duwei meant, he had to pretend that he didn't know. He couldn't let this window paper be pierced. As long as this window paper was not pierced, everyone would be safe.
But once this window paper is poked through … … Then, the situation will be difficult to control in the future.
Everyone understands the reason: If Prince Son is dying, he will definitely pave the way for his son. According to common sense, he should make a move against Du Wei. But whether he will make a move or not, it's still uncertain. But Du Wei and Prince Son both understand this logic.
But Prince Son can't let Du Wei know, because once Du Wei finds out … … Then Du Wei will definitely be on guard: Since you are likely to make a move against me, then I might make a move against you first! This is the so-called 'make the first move and gain the upper hand'.
Du Wei is afraid that Prince Son will make a move, and Prince Son is afraid that Du Wei will make the first move. Although neither of them has the intention to make a move yet, under such suspicion, it's hard to say who will make the first move.
After all, the most insecure thing in the world is the human heart.
Du Wei can't pin the survival of his family on Prince Son's benevolence. And Prince Son also doesn't dare to place the safety of the royal family on Du Wei's loyalty.
Both of them are guarding against the other's move.
Around … … It's too much of a circle.
— — —
After receiving the order, Du Wei didn't go to the palace. Instead, he ran directly to the military headquarters in the capital to see Camisiro. He didn't mention a word about the other party's recommendation and acted in a completely businesslike manner.
Since the frontline is defeated, I have to go to the frontline to clean up the mess. You can't just send me to my death alone.
Where are the reinforcements? How many soldiers are you going to bring?
Camisiro didn't hesitate and directly told Du Wei: Soldiers, there are! But not the main army. After all, the empire's most elite army, the Tempest Legion, is already at the frontline. The royal guards left behind have already been drawn to the frontline. In addition, there's also a division that was drawn to the northwest and stationed in the Nuling Province. Against who? Isn't it against Du Wei!
Moreover, the rest of the royal guards still have to protect the imperial capital. Let alone a division, even a regiment can't be drawn out!
Therefore, the number of reinforcements given to Du Wei is about 50,000. 30,000 of these reinforcements are local garrison troops transferred from all over the south, while the remaining 20,000 are a division of reserve forces. These are the remnants of the reserve forces left over from the formation of the Whip of the Thunder Deity. Now that they have been pieced together into an entire division, they are also given to Du Wei.
When Du Wei heard this, he rolled up his sleeves on the spot. He wanted to make a scene with Camisiro!
What a joke! The situation at the frontline is urgent. It's already very inhumane of you to send a wheelchair disabled person! The soldiers given are also not good soldiers! Local garrisons drawn from the south? Do you think I don't know what kind of shit those garrisons are! Maintaining law and order is fine, but war? Can I count on that?
As for the reserve division … Damn it, they are all leftovers from the Whip of the Thunder God's legion. It can be imagined that the elites were all taken away by the Whip of the Thunder God. Who knows what kind of crooked melons are left behind!
I won't do it!
You are bullying me, a disabled person, don't talk about human rights!
Du Wei put on airs and wanted to make a scene. As a result, Camisiro immediately softened. He quickly pulled Du Wei to the side and whispered with a bitter smile: "My Lord Duke, please don't make a scene here. These things are decided by His Royal Highness the Regent. I have no say in this."
Du Wei blinked his eyes: "That's fine. In that case, I will bring my own soldiers to the frontline, right? I will transfer my family's private army. It can be considered as me breaking the family and building the country! "
"That won't do." Camisiro immediately firmly refused: "Transferring your private army to the frontline, without His Royal Highness' approval, is absolutely impossible! And … Didn't you have the grasslands in the northwest before? Humph, at this time, I'm afraid you can't transfer your private army. "
Du Wei looked angry, but in fact, he was laughing in his heart: I knew it would be like this.
Of course, he won't let me bring my private army to the frontline!
The Regent's move, to send me to the frontline, nominally gave me more than 200,000 troops … In fact, it was a trick to separate me from my family's foundation.
After all, the capital is still too close to my territory in the northwest. To transfer me to the frontline, to put it nicely, is giving me more than 200,000 troops.
But those troops are the government's army! These are the old foundation of the Tempest Legion, and the troops transferred from all over the country have their own generals. If I go up like this, in a short period of time, it is impossible to turn these troops into my own subordinates.
In name, I have military power, but in fact … Isn't it a disguised "lock" me in the 200,000 troops?
The soldiers are not my own subordinates … Not to mention appointing me as the frontline commander, even if I am made a marshal, I will be a commander without an army.
No, I can't transfer my private army, but I have to fight for some benefits.
Du Wei thought for a moment and shook his head: "Camisiro, you have also been in the army, you should understand that as a general, if there are no veterans you are used to, it is inevitable that your hands and feet will be tied in the war. I won't be picky about the 50,000 people you gave me, I will take them with me. However, I need to bring some familiar people with me, otherwise … I will be sick. This matter, whoever is willing to take it, I won't do it anyway! "
Camisiro smiled faintly: "What do you want? First of all, if the conditions are too harsh, I can't help you. "
"Humph, haven't you 'helped' me enough?" Du-Wei's strange smile made Kami Siro smile a little awkwardly.
"First, I am a magician, I will bring a few magician retainers to the frontline. This is my private matter, this is not against the rules, right?"
"Of course." Camisiro immediately nodded: "The Imperial Code does not care about this, you can bring as many as you like. I know that you are the Duke of the Tulip Family, the dean of the Imperial Magic Academy, and a member of the Magic Society. It is also your private matter to recruit magicians as your retainers."
"Good!" Du Wei immediately pulled a clerk from the side: "Write it down! Write it all down! Black and white, it will be easier to count! "
He coughed and saw that the clerk had no choice but to take a piece of paper to record. Only then did he continue: "I will not transfer my own army to the Northwest. However, when I returned to the capital two years ago, I brought a thousand Knight guards with me. It is not against the rules for me to bring them to the frontline. "
"I remember you brought back five hundred the year before last … Not a thousand …" Just as he said this, he saw Du Wei's eyes staring at him, Camisiro quickly nodded: "Okay! You are the Duke of the Empire, a great noble, it is normal for you to be used to your own family's personal guards. A thousand cavalry guards, that is fine. "
He thought to himself: Five hundred or a thousand, the number is not much different. Five hundred more people, in the army of two hundred thousand, will it be enough to turn over a wave? Du Wei, oh Du Wei, this is a small matter, why are you fighting over it?
Du Wei immediately turned to the clerk and shouted: "Write it carefully! One thousand Knight guards, not a single word is allowed to be changed! "
After the clerk finished writing, Du Wei grabbed it and looked at it, only then did he smile with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, continue to write."
He coughed: "Third, this batch of students in the Military Academy has been studying for a year. It is not too much for me to bring some people to the frontline to train."
"Okay, but at most ten people. These people are the seeds of the future, I can't give them all to you at once. I still have a lot of future arrangements here, I can't let you take all of them."
"Ten then ten, my brother is not included in the quota!" Du Wei did not give in at all.
Thinking about it for a moment, Kami Siro didn't think it was a big deal. At most, Du Wei would take up one more spot.
"Last one." Du Wei smiled: "Since the establishment of the Military Academy, I have borrowed some soldiers from you to be stationed in the Military Academy as sparring partners. These soldiers are not very skilled, and my students are used to it, you can give them all to me."
With that, Du Wei counted with his fingers and said: "The first time, I borrowed five hundred soldiers from the Imperial Security, I want them. Later, I borrowed two more from the Royal City Guards, a total of two thousand people, I also want them. "
Camisiro was a little embarrassed: "It is not difficult to give you the soldiers from the Security. But the Royal City Guards … You want two thousand people at once, I can't make the decision. You know the laws of the Empire, I can make the decision on the mobilization of the local army. But … Since the incident a few years ago, the mobilization of the Royal City Guards, more than five hundred people must be reported to the Imperial Palace and get the Regent's order. Although I am the Minister of Military Affairs, I do not have the authority to mobilize the Royal City Guards. "
"Then I will have to trouble you to go to the Imperial Palace and help me plead with His Highness." Du Wei smiled lazily: "But I believe that His Highness will agree."
"Okay." Camisiro did not want to be entangled with Du Wei, and there are only two thousand Royal City Guards left and right, two thousand people is not too much.
Du Wei laughed, grinned at Camisiro, and patted Camisiro's shoulder: "Okay, then I will thank you first! Please sign and seal this record, then the procedures are complete. "
In the end, Camisiro could not win against Du Wei, so he could only sign this record and seal it with the military's seal.
Looking at this thing in his hand, Du Wei suddenly laughed. Then, under the stunned gazes of Camisiro and the surrounding military officials, he suddenly stood up from the wheelchair, flung his sleeves, and swaggered in front of Camisiro!
"You!! Your leg!! "Camisiro's face changed:" You … "
Du Wei snorted and said lightly: "I am going to the frontlines, I can't really go in a wheelchair … En, just say that I, Du Wei, am wholeheartedly for the country, worried about the country's affairs, and anxious in my heart, my leg suddenly became better. This is also the blessing of the gods. "
After saying that, Du Wei nodded to the people from the military and swaggered out of the gate of the military headquarters!
Watching Du Wei's back as he left, and then looking at the wheelchair that Du Wei casually threw in the room, Camisiro could not help but smile bitterly.
Sigh … Sending him to the frontlines, handing the empire's army of more than two hundred thousand to such a person, this decision … Is it really the right one?
