At 7 o'clock in the morning, when the sun shone into the room, Ruolujin opened his eyes, completely free of the drowsiness after a deep sleep. He jumped out of bed and began to put on his military uniform.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Ruolu Jin's sleep is very light, and the slightest sound will wake him up. He has received training from the military academy and must not sleep like a dead pig. Especially on the front line where a battle may break out at any time, he must react. Be quick and clear-headed.
After putting on his military uniform and inserting the revolver into the holster at his waist, Ruolujin walked out of the room, took a few breaths of fresh morning air, and took his adjutant to inspect the artillery positions as usual.
While checking the artillery fuze and maintenance status, Zorugin greeted the soldiers of the artillery regiment. During the counterattack against the Kingdom of Windsor, he was ordered by the king to bring 50,000 soldiers with Goffman and other children of military aristocratic families. The infantry supported Katerina. After repelling the Kingdom of Windsor, they stayed, and the kingdom had no idea of recalling them.
Others may not know it clearly, but Ruolu Jin knows in his heart that he has a mission.
It was a helpless move for the kingdom to hand over 50,000 troops to Katerina. The Romanov Kingdom, which had a huge north-south span, wanted to recover its lost territory and needed to adopt a two-line attack strategy. As the commander of the southern front, Katerina experienced After the Battle of Chelyabinsk, one-third of the elite troops were lost. If the troops were not replenished in time, they would probably be eaten by the Second Army led by Marquis James.
Once the southern front collapses, it will be a devastating disaster for the Romanov Kingdom. Duke Ivanovich and others who are responsible for attacking the north are likely to be attacked from both sides. Even if the enemy does not attack them, they can directly take Paul I's location. The city of Tyumen.
Both consequences were intolerable to the Romanov Kingdom.
So Zorukin, Goffman and other military aristocratic children who graduated from the Petersburg Military Academy brought 50,000 troops to support Katerina. Before setting off, Paul I and Archbishop Henry met with them in person and asked them to obey on the surface. Under Katerina's command, try to gain Katerina's trust and wait for news at any time.
On the other hand, Katerina has long regarded Zorukin, Goffman and others as companions, and only they know about the secret surrender of military nobles.
but....
On the eve of the coup, Zorugin, Goffman and others took their families to Mosk. This move may have exposed their intention to completely fall in love with Katerina, but Zorugin didn't care.
Paul I is dead.
The person who forced the king to death was the Wisdom Cult, and the Wisdom Cult...
From the Kingdom of Popang.
Decades ago, Emperor Bonaparte's attack on the Romanov Kingdom is still vivid in our minds. Many military nobles rose from that period. They defeated Emperor Bonaparte and the Kingdom of Popon. If you are wise, The Cult of God just wants to form an alliance with the Romanov Kingdom, so they can still tolerate it, but if the Wisdom Cult wants the Popon royal family to take charge of the Romanov Kingdom...
They would never agree!
Internal strife and treason are completely different in nature.
They were born on this land and fought for the motherland. Even if they died, they would die under the flag of the motherland!
This is also the reason why the military nobles turned against each other as soon as the news of Paul I's death came.
They didn't know the specific situation in the royal capital, but King Paul I had indeed not appeared for a long time.
And when they saw the abdication edict written by Paul I himself, they became even more determined in their choice.
"Colonel Jorus..."
While inspecting the artillery position, Ruos's adjutant suddenly came forward and whispered: "This morning, a letter was delivered outside your barracks. In order not to disturb your rest, I did not let the guards report it."
"What letter? Who sent it?"
"I don't know. There is no signature on it. The person who delivered the letter was a resident. He dropped the letter and left in a hurry...I asked the guards to arrest him and wait for him to be punished."
The adjutant took out a letter and handed it to Ruos. The letter was unopened and the paint was intact. There was no signature on the envelope and it was completely blank.
Jorus stopped, stood behind a cannon, pulled off the paint, took out the letter paper inside, and read it carefully...
His brows gradually furrowed, and his eyes were full of surprise. This turned out to be a letter written by the king!
Didn’t Paul I die?
The abdication edict he wrote himself was also stamped with the king's seal!
Is His Majesty the King not dead?
Was the abdication edict forged by Her Highness Katerina?
Ruos was a little confused. He didn't know the situation on Paul I's side, and the content of the letter was very simple. He asked him to create chaos when the war started and attack Katerina from behind...
"Colonel, do you want to see this messenger?"
"....No, I won't see you for now."
Ruos put away the letter, thought for a moment, returned to the city, and knocked on Goffman's barracks.
Dongdong!
Dongdong!
The door opened, and a sleepy Goffman yawned. His hair was messy, he was wearing a white shirt, and he looked like he hadn't woken up.
Seeing his appearance, Ruosu was a little angry. The war was about to begin. As a general, he slept like a dead pig. How could he be behaving like this?
"Goffman! Have you forgotten the instructor's instructions?!"
"No no...."
Goffman was obviously a little afraid of Ruolukin. He shrank his head, slapped his cheek, and quickly woke up: "What happened?"
If possible, Zorugin would never want to discuss with Goffman, but he had no other better choice.
Walking into the room, closing the door, Ruolujin threw the secret letter on the table, "You can read it yourself."
Goffman picked up the letter, glanced at it casually, and sneered: "This is fake."
"False? How can you be sure?"
"Because Her Highness Katerina will not deceive us!" Goffman spread his hands and said confidently: "I absolutely trust her! Loyal!"
"You...can you put away your dirty thoughts?" Ruolujin poked at the table angrily: "What is the situation now? Are you still thinking about problems with your lower body?!"
"Who thinks with their lower body?!"
Goffman's cheeks turned red and he said anxiously: "I do love Her Highness Katerina, but my feelings will not affect my judgment!"
"In that case, why do you think this letter is a forgery?"
"It's very simple. Why did Her Majesty Katerina forge an abdication decree to deceive the world? Even without an abdication decree, she could still gain public support! What's the point of forging an abdication decree? If the king is not dead, the forged abdication decree will Is it effective?"
Goffman said emotionally: "Since ancient times, which rebel who launched a coup would forge the king's abdication decree? Will the abdication decree be useful when the king is still alive? Isn't this stupid?!"
"...."
Although Goffman's wording was a bit rude and showed no aristocratic restraint, Zorugin still admitted...
He has a point.
"Proving that the king is alive will not do much good to Her Royal Highness Katerina. At most, the support rate will increase. But for the Wisdom Cult, if the king really dies, they will immediately lose their support!" Goffman Said: "The Cult of Wisdom will never admit the fact that the king is dead! They need the king to maintain their legitimacy! Ruojin, how could you make such a stupid mistake?"
"But this letter is indeed His Majesty's handwriting."
"For things like handwriting, just find someone to imitate it! There are so many top painters in the Winter Palace, is it difficult to imitate handwriting?"
Ruolujin nodded and said, "So you think this letter was forged by the Wisdom Cult to confuse us?"
"Do you think we have other options now?" Goffman looked at Ruorukin and said quietly: "Our family members are all in Mosk, and we have gained the trust of Her Highness Katerina. The entire Romano The people of the Husband Kingdom have rebelled, just as Father Mawei said, the stock of the Church of Truth will be listed soon, who will sell their shares on the eve of the listing?"
"But the Church of Truth may not necessarily win the final victory. For the sake of the family..."
"For the sake of the family, you should support Her Highness Katerina!" Goffman slapped the table and stood up: "Her Highness Katerina wants to create an unprecedented Romanov Kingdom! The kingdom is strong, and our family Talent is strong! Weak people have no right to speak! I believe Her Highness Katerina can revitalize the Romanov Kingdom! I absolutely support her!"
Ruosi's mind was a little confused and he was hesitant: "What do you think we should do now?"
"Give this letter to Her Royal Highness Katerina immediately! Show your loyalty!"
"...."
"Also." Goffman suddenly lowered his voice: "Those who sent this letter, including your adjutant, should be careful. These are extraordinary times. No one knows what is on the other side of the wall or around us. ...Whether there is an enemy spy, there are not many people we can trust.”
"Let's do this. Just in case, you take the adjutant to see the civilian who delivered the letter. I will take the letter and go to Her Highness Katerina and Father Mavey. Let's split up."
"Okay." Ruosu nodded and made up his mind.
Just as Goffman and Zorugin finalized their action plan, Xiao Hei, who was hiding on the roof of the barracks, stood up, shook his hair, and ran towards the barracks where Mawei lived, whispering:
"I was scared to death, I thought I was exposed, meow...it's really a cat that scares a cat, it scares a cat to death..."
