In the upper town/inner ring of the Seine City, in the Pablo Palace, which was the royal court of the new dynasty; Pauline, who was sitting in front of the huge gold-plated oak table, also yawned loudly again; and checked her surroundings again. There was no one around, so he threw himself down on the pile of files on the desktop and stretched out.
Like a caterpillar full of trouble and confusion, after rolling around for a while, she suddenly hugged her shoulders again, her face turning slightly red. But she misses someone's warm embrace; she once displayed and dedicated herself on this tabletop.
Months have passed in the blink of an eye, but the feeling of rubbing their ears and temples together without any distance, feeling each other's heartbeats and pulsations, still seems like yesterday. Paulina couldn't help but show off all kinds of childish behavior. After all, she was not over twenty years old yet.
However, His Majesty was given the responsibility of guarding the capital region, and even supervising the government affairs of the entire kingdom in disguise; therefore, under his will, the daily resolutions of the royal government led by Fayous and the Supreme Council, requests for instructions and approval of major matters came from , will forward a copy to her.
It was just to allow her to become familiar with and master the daily routine and processes of the kingdom's operations as quickly as possible. After all, ruling a kingdom and ensuring its normal operation is far more complicated and cumbersome than commanding an army. In addition to a reasonable structure and appropriate personnel, a long-term supervision mechanism;
It is also necessary for those in power and their agents to have enough vision and experience to summarize the key points, eliminate falsehoods while retaining the true, and gain insight into the key points; otherwise, they will easily be drowned in information and information that are composed of various positions and demands and are difficult to distinguish between true and false. Every detail is trivial, and there is a sea of knowledge.
Therefore, in the few days before the expedition, His Majesty almost always kept her in the Pablo Palace; and let her sit in his arms every day, enjoying the intimate pleasure while teaching and teaching her step by step. , experience in handling government affairs and dealing with various situations and people.
Even after His Majesty led the army to the expedition, he designated her to be permanently stationed in the Pablo Palace; as an agent who attended and presided over most public events and participated in the highest meetings. She was so honored and favored that various folk tales were quickly born with her as the material.
There are even ridiculous rumors that His Majesty has a special habit and likes to use women and foreigners. After all, among the commander-level figures of the four armies of the New Kingdom Army, Thiago was a Castilian born in the Holy Kingdom, and Faius was a former royal family of the Western Empire.
In addition to Paulina, who is the representative of the Knight King, there is also a representative office of the National Bank under the leadership of Miss Flanders in one of the most important departments of the kingdom, the Finance Committee and the Industrial and Commercial Committee. Following their example, a group of women joined the government.
They mainly come from the relatively prosperous citizen class, or from the families of traditional industrialists and merchants, or from the families of small nobles and knights; they have received simple education and enlightenment. Therefore, when the rescue government initially lacked qualified officials and service personnel, many vacancies were filled.
Nowadays, these women are able to play varying degrees of roles in health care, education committees, and other departments; they have both decent status and stable income. It has become an existence that makes those traditional people and conservatives both displeased and helpless.
Even their families and elders have difficulty intervening in and influencing their marriages; instead, they have to count on potential protection from the system. Therefore, attending specialized girls' schools and skills training centers and entering the new government job have become a way out for middle- and lower-class women.
Compared with working behind the scenes for a long time, Miss Flanders lacks the presence on the stage. The best example they can cite and the role model they admire is undoubtedly Paulina herself, who is the leader of the Kingdom's army. This also brought her some potential disputes and troubles.
However, there is always the firm support of His Majesty behind her, and the support of a group of subordinates who have been promoted and gathered in previous wars; these criticisms and doubts against her have not even had the chance to form enough influence and substantial actions. , has been quickly and firmly eliminated.
Therefore, in order to live up to His Majesty's trust and trust, Paulina can only do her best to study and read; but fortunately, the kingdom's policy for the next ten years has been formulated and is on the right track; so she only needs to keep Daily operations are promoted step by step.
Therefore, as the representative of the King of Knights, Paulina needs to focus on domestic affairs: mainly focusing on the population and land census, the restoration of wasteland and the reclamation of mountains, forests and swamps, the development of more mining factories and business projects, and the promotion of the establishment of various towns. schools and vocational education institutes;
The second step is: expansion of roads, bridges and road infrastructure for irrigation and water conservancy; allocation of grassroots personnel in various places and follow-up placement of veterans; establishment of model farms and veterans’ farms and logistics departments; sorting out and rectification of church organizations in various places; hospitals and clinics The popularity of...
In addition, the expeditionary First Army Corps, the Pyrenees Corps in the southwest, the Suppression Corps of the Maritime District and the Central Plateau in the southeast, and the Normandy Corps in the northwest provide logistics supplies. In addition, her own responsibilities as the Capital Region/Special Security Area; it is simply a myriad of things.
Even though she does not need to make a decision or directly rule on most of the matters, she is only responsible for reviewing and roughly knowing; but the amount of information in this reading process is also outrageous, let alone finding out from it. Possible errors and mistakes,
This does not include the reports of abnormal situations coming from all over the country every moment; the progress of the army and special companies in eradicating the aliens, and the results of local bounties. This part of the content has a dedicated real-time display hall, which is constantly adjusted through the large sand table, wall maps and tables.
"My king, when will you come back!" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but roll in the pile of documents and let out a helpless whine and sigh. At this time, the eucalyptus rolls scattered on the ground were picked up with the sound of light footsteps, but it was Princess Suleim.
"My legion commander, are you tired?" Wearing a Sealand Kingdom-style lake green lace dress, with particularly honey-colored skin and petite figure, she hugged Paulina almost with ease; and then whispered in her ear While breathing out: "Let's do something happy."
At the same time, the province of Lower Normandy was marching to the river near Cherbourg, but it showed an unexpected and happy expression. Because someone had just opened a short-term spiritual connection with him in the distant city of Senna, and he also saw a live broadcast that was pleasing to the eye.
At the end of the coast road in front of the First Army, inside and outside the Cherbourg City and the harbor that stood on the peninsula, there was a tragic scene of fireworks and fighting. Not only were the defenders inside the city resisting the enemy's siege, but the enemy troops outside the city were also relying on the terrain and formations to block the royal army.
However, the enemies on the periphery took advantage of the narrow location to build layers of fortifications. Therefore, the leading cavalry companies, only after breaking through the outermost defense line, fell into a melee with the enemy hidden in the trenches; they were never able to continue the assault and penetrate the enemy's positions;
Therefore, after the bugle was blown, these cavalry companies dropped explosives one after another and began to escape from the battle one after another with the help of fireworks. Immediately afterwards, the support troops who quickly arrived from the rear set up thick Hale rockets on pack horses and fired at the enemy's defense line one after another.
Along with the large black smoke and fire, it exploded in the enemy's defense line; several squadrons of special attack knights who had just completed the battlefield change were also wearing lightweight chest protectors, knee shields and shin guards, and wielded thick and short... Large-mouth swivel muskets, thick-backed swords, and staffs and hammers rushed out.
Like lightning, it penetrated the billowing smoke and clouds that had not yet dissipated, and crossed the large rocks and muddy tidal flats that made it difficult for the war horses to move; almost in a single encounter, it crashed through and overturned the enemy behind the wooden fence and trench. Seeing this scene, Jiang Tian nodded slightly.
Today's royal army will temporarily form special companies according to battlefield needs. For example, grenadiers, artillery, and Hale rockets form a long-range strike/support company; a vanguard/assault company composed of special attack knights and lancers; a fast/mobile company composed of light cavalry and mounted infantry, etc.
Following the gaps opened by multiple squadrons of special attack knights, the regrouped remaining cavalry also rushed in again; it turned into flames and hissing screams that spread rapidly in the enemy camp. And when the artillery vehicles supporting the company also started firing, the enemy in front of them collapsed.
Then quickly crossed the beaten blocking line on the outside, under the cover of the musketry company and strike company deployed under the city; eight companies of white soldiers with reinforced protection, mixed with several grenadier brigades; also faced another group that had just occupied the city wall. The enemy launched an intensive offensive.
Just a few hours later, the New Kingdom Army's golden sun flag with a blue background and a smiling face was raised on the incomplete city wall of Cherbourg. Through on-site interrogation of prisoners, Jiang Tian also obtained the identity of the hostile army that was besieging Cherbourg; they were the last remnants of Burgundy in the province of Normandy.
It was also the two generals of the Flanders Army who betrayed and betrayed the Allied National Salvation Army and the former Grand Marshal of the Kingdom, obtained high-ranking official positions, marquis status, fiefs, and de facto independent territory from the Burgundian dynasty; Major General Yell and Brigadier Fabry's men.
Probably because their attempt to retain the army and territory after the fall of the Burgundian dynasty was flatly rejected by the new government of the kingdom; they were also pressed step by step by the Tiago Corps in the south. Therefore, they actually joined forces and launched an attack on Cherbourg, which announced its surrender to the government.
As a result, the First Army only invested one corps and easily defeated the two exhausted remnant armies. However, at the last moment of defeat, Major General Thiel and Brigadier General Fabry used the cover of arson in the city to board a ship and escape from the harbor.
The remnants of the National Salvation Alliance forces in Cherbourg also paid a heavy price. After a long siege and battle, only more than a thousand soldiers were able to finally open the fortress in the inner city and come out to surrender to the New Kingdom Army. All that is left are the old, weak, disabled and sick all over the place.
The soldiers who came out to join us were also generally sallow, thin, malnourished, and had obviously experienced a long period of hardship. But in any case, this unexpected encounter on the way south killed two birds with one stone and eliminated the last organized illegal armed force in the kingdom.
The surviving Allied National Salvation Army was part of the Maritime Combat Regiment of the former Flanders Army. According to Jiang Tian's original expectations and plans, Cherbourg, which also has a deep-water headland of sufficient size, a fortress, and a shipyard, is the first choice base for establishing a coastal defense corps.
With the establishment of the Coastal Defense Corps, this also means that the entire northern part of the kingdom can transition into a recuperation system that fully restores production and reconstruction. And when Jiang Tian left Cherbourg a few days later, there was already a doll-like little girl beside him, who was also his new courtier.
However, there was one last thing left for him before joining Tiago's regiment on the eastern front and returning to the capital.
