Chapter 760 Very numb
"Where is my griffin cannon? Was washed away by the flood?!"
"Where is Moriyati? Unknown?! Still missing? "How is the flood? I don't know, you tell me you don't know?! Go and check it now."
The saliva was sprayed by Horn, and Benardo just squinted his eyes and did not dare to move.
Madelan had a stern face: "Uncle, after the flood broke out, the front line of the gravel was in chaos. It is normal for the news to be unblocked. We have tried our best to check, and there will be news soon."
Horn walked back several times at the table before barely squeezing out his smiling face and patted Bernardo's shoulder: "Sorry, I lost my composure, you did a good job."
"No, it was our job that was not in place." Bernardo hurried to find a repair.
Horn didn't say much, but just shook his head: "Cardinal monks and the imperial chief monks, come here for those who are not urgent."
While waiting, sitting on the upholstered chair in the stag room, he looked at the blood-covered clouds hanging on the wall, but the worry on his face was hard to hide.
He thought that Meliati would win big, small, and miserable, but never expected her to lose.
There are more than 20,000 people, of which the new army had at least more than 10,000 people, but they were defeated so badly.
After all, Horn did not expect that the gravel original person would dare to dig a dam.
Innocent Dam is the economic lifeline of Thousand Rivers Valley and the lifeline of the gravel.
Digging the dam will also wash away their territory and manors.
According to previous investigations, not all lords were so absolutely against Meliati.
In other words, some lords are actually on both ends of the head and rat.
Unlike Horn always fought the Great Judgment of the title and fiefdom, Meliati claimed war.
For those lords, losing is the substitution of the superior lord and several of the superior lords' confidants. What does it have to do with them?
They just want to be vassals, and it doesn't matter who they are.
If the Duke of Yichao insists on digging the dam, then there will be a vassal uprising immediately.
What exactly happened in this?
No matter where the gravel is, Shangrifo County and Beimande County are in chaos and rumors are everywhere.
Some say that Meliati is dead, some say that the Holy Father descends to the great flood and destroys the world.
It is also said that Horn was a church spy who killed Meliati.
The reason was that Horn took advantage of Meliati's absence and stole the North Munde County to break the justice of the woman.
In any case, this wave completely disrupted Horn's preparation plan.
Horn felt his scalp numb when he thought that he might have to fight against the Lea people in the future while fighting floods. "Carrie, Carrie, you're defeated right away." Horn punched the table, and the teacup on the table bounced in the air.
Looking at the water cup that was jumping up and rolling down, he took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it before walking to the door: "Have you all been there?"
"Everything has arrived."
"Take the fruits, coffee and tea, Madelan presided over the meeting and reported the situation. I'll wash my face first."
The pottery basin was filled with cold well water, and Horn soaked his face directly in the cold water, then suppressing the impetuousness.
According to his vision, after four years of preparation for the war, it should be like this by 1449.
In terms of the army, Horn held three battle groups and brought one cavalry regiment in total, with a total of more than 18,000 combat soldiers, all of which were Gallar horizontal formation mode.
Moriya carried five battle groups with her hands and brought two cavalry regiments with a total of more than 30,000 combat soldiers, using the Galar square formation mode.
Such nearly 50,000 troops can almost compete with the Lea invading army and the Lea army.
In terms of economy, establish a unified grain market and a simple industrial market with the Holy Alliance, reduce transaction costs, and carry out specialized division of labor.
In addition, through price signals and strong intervention from Horn, the efficiency of resource allocation can be greatly improved. At the same time, at least 100,000 pounds must be reserved to deal with the flow of war.
Politically, a centralized and deep-seated government system will be established to build an efficient tax and human resources system.
In this way, Horn can ensure that every command of his will be truly implemented in the war, rather than vain and imprisoning.
But now this defeat will cost at least more than 10,000 troops, and the people's confidence in war bonds.
Political, it has caused an imbalance between the power of the Holy League faction and the Kush faction, and has fallen into a situation where the Kush faction has no leader.
Fortunately, there is not room for recovery, they still have at least six to nine months.
Horn raised his head in cold water, and the Privy monk next to him immediately handed over a towel.
Dry your face, push open the door, walk through the corridor, and the conference room is on the side of the Bucks room. "There are three crises at present. The first is the disastrous defeat of the Grand Duke army, the second is the resurgence of the flood, and the third is to recover the credit of the bonds to avoid large-scale bankruptcy..."
When he glanced at Horn, Madland immediately gave up his position, and the conference room was filled with "piousness".

"Stay on." Horn pulled a chair casually.
Madland did not refuse. For four years, he had long gone from that clumsy baker to a cardinal who was unlucky.
Although making bread is still a big hobby in his life, truth is his real job.
"There is no news yet, so we should send someone to find a response..."
"Don't block the news of defeat, but report it positively, otherwise the rumors will become more and more outrageous..."
"We must choose a flood discharge site. It's good to have the Witch Swamp open the gate and release some water..."
"As for the bond issue..." Madland looked at Sissi, "I really have no clue. Sissi, are our reserves enough?"
"It is expected to deal with the Lea invasion, and the flood control may not be enough." Sissi continued to look at Bernardo, "Do you think the Lea people will take the opportunity to do something?"
But Bernardo shook his head: "Mass invasion is impossible, and small-scale harassment is certainly inevitable."
"The trade route..."
"The commercial roads in the Nannauan River and the commercial roads in the Ibe River are no problem. The commercial roads in the Lower Naan River are probably blocked again." Horn responded.
The Lower Naoan River leads to the Kingdom of Lea and eventually enters the sea from the windmill.
Originally, the border nobles relaxed their holes so that small-scale commercial trade could be carried out.
This time, Meliati was defeated, and the King of Ginnigis could not have done nothing. "We must stabilize the situation before spring next year. The Leagues are expected to come as early as June next year, ten months later."
"Uncle, there is actually another piece of news that I didn't tell you." Bernardo scratched his head, "We just received the news that Guiniges officially broke the last fortress of Duke Nedbach two weeks ago. The duke's wife, daughter and son were all captured. I'm afraid we're running away. We're probably less than ten months..."
Bernardo's new news made the entire conference room quiet for a moment.
Then, monks, big and small, whispered to each other.
Horn was not particularly shocked, or he was already shocked: "How long will it take?"
"We expect that they will send the soldiers home for the winter first, and gather as soon as the New Year Festival is over, and war will begin at the latest in February next year."
In other words, Horn and the others have only half a year left.
It's only half a year. "It's going to be a war..."
I don't know who suddenly said this, it was so abrupt in the originally quiet conference room.
