The two figures strolled silently in the field outside the tent, the guards followed from a distance, and neither side seemed to be able to find suitable words to open the topic for a while, only the thoughtful expressions on their faces proved that they were pondering each other's inner thoughts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wrinkled old man on the other side made it more and more difficult for him to see his true face, and sometimes Kutuzov thought that he had clearly seen the other party's true thoughts, but it was only a blink of an eye, and Kutuzov found that his views were very wrong.

"Marshal, please don't look at the old man with this kind of vision, yes, the matter of Southern Luzon did make the old man feel a little unhappy, but although Haig is not talented, he will not mix his personal feelings with national affairs, not to mention that I believe that the marshal is also unwilling to see the gains and losses of Southern Luzon, but this cannot be used as a reason for the old man to oppose the Southern Expedition Peninsula Alliance. Here the old man still has to solemnly remind the marshal that the economic center of gravity of the kingdom is still in the mainland, and the southern Luzon has fallen into the kingdom, which is the essence of Luzon's centennial development. It's a pity that Southern Luzon was recaptured by Frederick by tricks, and our Pasha Kingdom lost a good opportunity, and the old man deeply regretted it. But the matter has come to this point, and it is too late to regret it, so Haig also wants to ask the marshal to consider the support of the kingdom's financial strength when launching a military offensive, if it is blindly for the purpose of capturing and conquering, and cannot properly digest the gains and transform them into the inherent strength of the kingdom, even if this kind of high-intensity large-scale war is currently our kingdom's financial foundation is good, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out for too long, and I hope that His Excellency the Marshal must take this into consideration. ”

Kutuzov could hardly believe that these words came from the mouth of the Minister of State, who had always been at odds with him, and Kutuzov could not figure out why he, as a person who had great influence on His Majesty, would use this way to remind himself that he could have made such a suggestion to His Majesty, and believed that His Majesty would accept this opinion that was in line with the facts, so why would this Minister of State choose such a tactful way to show favor to himself?

Kutuzov must admit that if the Pasha Kingdom did not have this minister of state who was good at scheming and good at managing money and developing the economy, the Pasha Kingdom would never have the strength that it has today, and the military strength must also be built on a solid comprehensive national strength, especially the economic strength, and the army is not something that some peasants can become qualified soldiers with a few knives and guns. Weapons and other logistical expenses and pensions after the death of the war, this seemingly inconspicuous thing is the most basic guarantee to support the army, as the commander of the military, Kutuzov knows this very well. So no matter what he thinks of Haig's personal guard, Haig's credit in this point can be said to be unparalleled, and there is no one in the Pasha Kingdom who can take his place at present, and the reality determines that he must cooperate with the other party, and only cooperation can make the Pasha Kingdom condense into an iron plate inward, and expand externally without distraction, which is probably the reason why His Majesty the King deliberately avoided letting himself and the other party be alone.

Seeing the military marshal looking at him with a look of surprise and doubt, Haig knew that if he did not reveal his thoughts, he was afraid that he would never be able to relieve the other party's doubts, Kutuzov was not a person who could be deceived, but Haig also knew that this person had a lot of furrows in his chest, and he was not a rigid person, for the good of the kingdom, he could tolerate anything, for this, Haig quite appreciated, and it happened to be not contrary to his own interests.

"Hehe, Your Excellency Marshal, you may think that the old man's performance today is a bit unexpected by you, how can Haig, who has always been incompatible with you, be so considerate and take the initiative to show favor to you? Hahahaha, Marshal, please rest assured, although I, Haig, sometimes do things in a way that is not quite what you want, but there is one thing that I think Your Excellency Marshal will not deny, that is, Haig, like you, has never done anything to the detriment of the interests of the kingdom because of your selfish desires, and as for the conflict of will and infighting, it is even more impossible. Haig smiled and glanced at the surprised other party, who could make this Marshal Kutuzov, known as the god of the Chinese and Continental Army, have such a look, but he was afraid that he was the only one.

"Lord Haig, this marshal has never doubted the mind and bearing of the adult, this marshal is only a soldier, and he may not be very careful in considering government affairs and the economy, and I would like to ask Lord Haig to point this out for His Majesty. Lord Haig and Ben Shuai both work for the kingdom, and Ben Shuai hopes that you and I can work together to assist Your Majesty in building a new dynasty for the Pashas! If Lord Haig needs anything that Ben Shuai can help with, as long as Ben Shuai can do it without harming the fundamental interests of the Kingdom, uh, this Shuai will also do his best to facilitate and support him. "The words have been said to this point, Kutuzov, who has been in the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, has vaguely heard some unrevealed meanings of the other party, and asked for the surname to be clear, so that the other party can explain his intentions openly and honestly, which is also much more convenient.

"Well, fast talking, what Haig admires most is the marshal's demeanor. Well, probably the marshal also knows a little bit that my in-laws have lost a lot of money in their investment in Southern Luzon, uh, now that the kingdom has occupied the two countries of the Peninsula Alliance, there should be many landlords and nobles in these places who have fled, even if it is peace talks, or continue the war, these three places are already in the kingdom's pocket, but because the war cannot end in a short time, these areas will be temporarily listed as military management, and my in-laws will also come here to invest and develop their businesses in the near future, I hope that the marshal can give as much convenience and care as possible within the allowable range, here, Haig first thanked the lord。 ”

There is no scruple in Haig's words, it sounds like a minister of state openly asking the military to take care of his in-laws' investment is a bit presumptuous, maybe a letter of impeachment from the Ombudsman to His Majesty will put him in prison, but Haig is not worried, His Majesty does not need to be an honest official who follows the old ways, what he does cannot be hidden from His Majesty, maybe his greed is unconcealed in front of him is what makes him most assured, only by letting his handle in front of His Majesty, he is the most reassuring courtier, this is Haig's experience summed up for many years。 Since this is the case, why don't you open your mouth and bite him hard, killing two birds with one stone?

Taking a deep breath, Kutuzov nodded heavily, and said expressionlessly: "No problem, Lord Haig, I don't know if the project invested by your in-laws has been confirmed?"

"Hehe, thank you Marshal for your concern, my in-laws are very interested in a gold mine in the north of the Duchy of Luk, as well as some lands in the south, I think the marshal will not disappoint my in-laws. Chancellor Haig's laughter sounded unspeakably harsh at this moment.

gasped, the gold mine Kutuzov had also heard of it, not only is it easy to mine, the road traffic is convenient, and the ore has a very high gold content, it was originally owned by the Grand Duke of Luke himself and several high-ranking nobles, and now the other party actually wants to swallow it in one bite, and the appetite is so great that Kutuzov, who has already had psychological counseling, has to pause.

"Why, marshal, isn't it a little inconvenient?" Hague's wry smile spread across his cheeks, and even his pace slowed down.

"No, no, Lord Haig, rest assured, when your in-laws arrive, Ben Shuai will give him a satisfactory explanation. Shaking his head slowly, Kutuzov's face did not move, if he could exchange this for the other party's support for his strategy, even if it was a bit contrary to conscience, it would be insignificant compared to the interests of the entire kingdom.

"Very well, then the old man will wait for the good news of the marshal. By the way, I don't know how His Excellency the Marshal is going to negotiate with the coalition forces, His Majesty asked the old man to ask, and he can achieve it in the shortest possible time not only to not make the other party suspicious, but also to allow the mercenaries in the east to return to the Eastern Continent quickly, such a result is the best, I hope the marshal can plan well, His Majesty and the old man will not stay here for long, it is estimated that they will leave and return tomorrow, and everything here will depend on you, the marshal. Nodding with satisfaction, the Minister of State turned his head to the east, paused before slowly saying: "As soon as the eastern mercenaries leave the Central Continent, the marshal can follow your plan to carry out as much as possible, please don't worry about logistics, the old man has already informed your quartermaster General Rozepol before coming, everything is ready to stop according to your requirements, it is estimated that it is already on the way to transport, but because of the weather, I am afraid that the journey will be delayed." The old man also hopes that the marshal will be victorious, so that maybe our common interests will be more. ”

Nodding silently, Kutuzov's face was like an ancient well, and he couldn't see anything unusual, it seems that this guy had long expected that he would accept a compromise, and his spleen and surname had already been calculated by the other party, no matter what, it would be encouraging to be able to achieve the current situation, as long as he could give himself this opportunity to completely defeat the Peninsula Alliance and the West Oran Alliance, the purpose of this expedition would be achieved.
