When you cry over missing the sun, you have to miss the stars again.

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

Needless to say, the relationship between Duke Rundstead and Bai Feng is self-explanatory, and Duke Rundstead has a deep personal relationship with Duke Gna, and even to a certain extent, the reason why the Marquis of Rundstead was able to become an imperial nobleman in the first place was because of the promotion of Duke Gna.

Duke Kleist's relationship with Bai Feng is also extremely close, his granddaughter Sophia is Bai Feng's legitimate girlfriend, even if there is no such relationship, just based on Bai Feng's performance in the Imperial Academy, the talented Duke Kleist will help Bai Feng.

Now that there is a relationship with Sophia, the Duke of Kleist, who is short and talented, has almost no reason not to help Bai Feng, you must know that Duke Kleist is the contemporary head of the Kleist family, one of the five major families of the empire, and his strength is only stronger than that of Duke Cullen.

Among the three dukes, only Duke Gnar is really not close to Bai Feng, but there is a relationship with Duke Kleist, and the five major families of the empire have always been in the same spirit, and Duke Gnar also has no reason not to help Bai Feng.

The two contemporary heads of the five major families of the empire, the only commoner-born duke in the empire, and the most powerful prince of Charlemagne, with such four people trying their best to help Bai Feng fight for the right to form the Lance Legion, how could Bai Feng's application not be granted?

As the grandfather of Prince William, Duke Cullen doesn't care about Prince Pros's attitude at all, but with the joint pressure of the five major families of the empire, even Charlemagne can't be hard over, not to mention that Duke Cullen is just a mere imperial military minister.

Forced to helplessly, Duke Cullen knew that no matter how much he wanted to refuse sternly, it would be impossible for him to really veto Bai Feng's application, otherwise, the five major families of the empire, who had never participated in the battle for the crown prince, might be pushed to the opposite side of Prince William.

But it was not Duke Cullen's style to agree to Bai Feng's application so easily, and after some careful deliberation, Duke Cullen and Prince William, who were unwilling, jointly came up with an ingenious way to throw this tricky matter to Prince GLP.

Through his cronies, Prince William asked Prince Pros to unconditionally support his two henchmen as the commanders of the two standing legions to be formed by the Imperial Military Department, and in exchange, Duke Cullen would agree to Bai Feng's application to form a spear legion.

In exchange for the empty number of one spear regiment for two real imperial standing legions, I have to admit that Prince William's trick is still very clever; if Prince Pros agrees, the overall strength of Prince William's forces will be further improved.

Because the unspoken rule of the Crown Prince's dispute is that the prince's henchmen are not allowed to serve as the commander of the Imperial Standing Army, which is a preventive means to avoid the Imperial army being affected by the Crown Prince's dispute, Prince William has the support of Duke Cullen, but he cannot install henchmen in the Imperial army.

The last time Charlemagne ordered the creation of eight new standing legions, why Prince William, Prince Harry, and Prince Pross each got a legion was deliberately connived at by Charlemagne, and on the other hand, there was a compromise between the four princes.

In other words, if there is no tacit understanding between the princes, then it is impossible for any prince to install his henchmen into the imperial army under the premise of fierce opposition from other princes, and serve as the commander of the powerful army in charge of the 20,000-strong army.

Prince Philip, who is least popular with Charlemagne, and Prince Harry, who is in the recovery period of strength, have temporarily lost the strength to continue to compete for the crown prince;

This means that Prince William only needs to force Prince Pros to agree to his exchange plan, and he has a great chance of installing his two henchmen as the commanders of the standing army, which is not easy for Prince William.

If there is no application from Bai Feng, the two newly formed standing armies will either be divided up by Prince William and Prince Pros, who compromise with each other, or they will be missed out by Prince William and Prince Pros, who do not give in to each other.

Now, Bai Feng's application has given Prince William the opportunity to monopolize these two standing legions, and it has also made Prince GLP face a new problem;

The Prince of Pross was able to come to this point, and he was also a shrewd person who judged the situation and sized up the situation, how could he not notice the Bai family's hot and cold towards him? As the strength of the Bai family became stronger and stronger, the Prince of Prologis felt that his alliance with the Bai family was becoming more and more fragile.

Is it worth sacrificing his own vital interests for the sake of a pike-legion who doesn't know what the potential of the Bai family Baifeng is? Prince Pross, who is difficult to make up his mind, has called Duke Truss and Count Yadunis to discuss this important matter with him.

The Minister of Justice, Duke Truss, is the maternal grandfather of Prince Pross, so he naturally thinks about the interests of Prince Pros, while Count Yadunis is different, you must know that his eldest son is serving as the commander of the army by Bai Feng's side at this time!

However, whether it is the dedicated Duke Truss or the selfish Count of Yadonis, they all think that Prince Pros should temporarily give up his immediate interests and agree to the deal proposed by Prince William to help Bai Feng get the number of the Lance Legion.

The reason is that the Prince of Pros is unwilling to give up the two standing legions, and the best result that can be obtained in the end is nothing more than a standing legion, and the forces represented by the Bai family are too important to the Prince of Pros at this stage.

What Duke Truss and Count Yadunis said, why didn't Prince Pros understand it in his heart? It's just that he is unwilling to be led by the nose by the Bai family all the time, he wants to improve the strength of his core forces and defeat Prince William by his own forces!

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is always cruel, and the unwilling Prince Pross has to make the most 'wise' choice under the pressure of reality, and for this, he pays to give up two standing armies and sit back and watch Prince William further increase his strength.

Everything that happened next proved that the secret transactions between the imperial magnates and the princes were nothing more than floating clouds in front of the real imperial power, and Charlemagne, who had other ideas, completely broke the original balance of power in the imperial capital with just a few words.

At the court meeting to discuss Bai Feng's application for the formation of the Lance Legion, Duke Cullen had just submitted Bai Feng's application to Charlemagne, and Charlemagne, who had long known about this matter, directly agreed to Bai Feng's application, and Prince William and Prince Pross did not even have a chance to express their opinions.

As for the two standing legions newly formed by the Imperial Military Department, Duke Cullen should have recommended two of Prince William's henchmen to be the commanders of the corps;

According to the usual practice, after the Minister of War, Duke Cullen, made a recommendation, Charlemagne would officially appoint the Duke of Cullen's recommendation as the commander of the legion, but this time, Charlemagne not only rejected the Duke of Cullen's recommendation, but also personally appointed two corps commanders!
