The little female soldier who was desperate to find her family became a national hero
Chapter 137 The Royal Visitor
——Gloriosa [Flower Language] Beauty
Because the economic and military strength of the Lanshu Empire is far superior to that of the Riyuan Kingdom, most of the princes of the Riyuan Kingdom have studied abroad in the Lanshu Empire.
Not long ago, the second prince Dennis defeated dozens of competitors with an overwhelming advantage in the assessment of the first military academy of the Lanshu Empire and became the closed disciple of the famous general Sawadidi.
This news caused a huge sensation in the country of Riyuan, and even some upper-class nobles secretly advised the emperor to directly designate Dennis as the first heir to the throne.
However, when it comes to the military, the Department of Defense has always supported the legitimate first heir, Steve Rodman.
In fact, the relationship between the commanders who hold military power in the Kingdom of Riyuan and the emperor is quite delicate.
Although they swore allegiance to the emperor and firmly obeyed and carried out the emperor's orders, they also had their own ideas on many things and would secretly do some interesting little things.
This complex network of power relations makes the issue of succession to the throne of the Riyuan Kingdom somewhat confusing.
In the eyes of the military commanders, the Second Prince Dennis had an overly strong desire for control, which made them deeply uneasy.
If he ascended the throne, the autonomy of the army would undoubtedly be severely weakened, which was obviously not a cost-effective option for the officers.
In contrast, the legitimate heir, Steve, appears to be more moderate and popular.
Steve is just like those traditional young masters of aristocratic families. His biggest hobbies are nothing more than playing with cats and dogs and sleeping with prostitutes. He does not pose a real threat to the army of the Riyuan Kingdom.
In a country where imperial power is supreme, a relatively moderate and less radical emperor can better guarantee the autonomy and freedom of the army.
However, at this time, Canpedela saw Dennis and his teacher Sawadidi appear in the command building together, and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
The invading army of the Sun-Rise Kingdom had suffered a complete defeat in the waters of the Bi Bo Islands and lost many of the islands they had originally captured. It was also said that the Hua Yue Kingdom was planning a large-scale counterattack with the intention of retaking the Liuli Islands.
At this awkward moment for the military, Dennis shows up with his teacher Sawadidi, apparently to seize command.
Ever since Abraham, also known as Takeda Nagayoshi, defected to Kazuki Province, no one in the Japanese army can compare with Sawadidi.
Sawadidi, who stood up for the students at this time, has become the temporary first general of the Riyuan Kingdom.
As Campedela looked at the two uninvited guests, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart. His eyes kept rolling around, and he was obviously weighing the pros and cons.
Dennis saw what was in Campedela's mind, but he still maintained his elegant demeanor and said with a smile:
"General Canpedra, can we sit down and talk? I just happen to have a lot of things I want to ask you."
Although the emperor of the Riyuan Kingdom was a ruler with a strong desire for control, his children were all well educated. They were excellent in both conversation and temperament, and looked like elegant and modest gentlemen.
However, Canpedela, who has dealt with them for many years, knows it very well.
In order to achieve their goals, these so-called superiors will not hesitate to eliminate any obstacles that stand in their way, even those who are closely related by blood.
Especially Dennis, his ambition can almost burst out of his eyes.
This made Campedela more alert. He knew that he needed to be careful in his actions to avoid being caught up in the vortex of the fight for the throne.
Dennis is obviously not satisfied with the title of "second heir". Once he has the chance, he will challenge Steve's position and strive to push himself to the throne of the first or even the only heir.
However, what is puzzling is that although the emperor of Riyuan Kingdom is well aware of his ambitions, he seems to have been indulging him.
Allowing him to study at the Lanshu Imperial Military Academy and even become a disciple of the famous general Sawadidi was undoubtedly a tacit approval and encouragement of his ambitions.
Hearing Dennis' words, General Campedela's expression froze for a moment, then immediately replaced with a warm smile.
He extended his hand courteously, motioning Denis and Savadidi to sit down, and said to the secretary with a hint of reproach:
"Why are you so ignorant? Go make some tea and remember to use the best tea leaves."
Then he turned to Sawadidi and said with a hint of apology:
"I'm so sorry, I usually only drink beverages, so I don't have any decent hospitality here. I know you like to taste tea, if you don't mind, please give me some pointers and see how the tea here tastes."
As he said that, he led the two of them to the sofa in the reception area.
Then, he pondered for a moment, walked back to his desk, and picked up the communication device. While dialing the number, he said to Dennis and Sawadidi:
"Please wait a moment, both of you. I will call General Shang Youpin over as well. I am afraid I will not be able to entertain you properly if I am alone."
General Shang Youpin's position in the Riyuan army is second only to Campedela. He is also a loyal supporter of Steve, the first heir to the throne.
Campedela called him over at this time, undoubtedly wanting to use him as a suitable shield for defense, so as to gain the greatest benefit in the next confrontation.
To be honest, Canpedela also guessed why Dennis appeared with his teacher Sawadidi at this time.
His previous daze was actually caused by excessive stress.
The defeat of the invading army of the Sun Yuan Kingdom from the waters of the Bi Bo Islands has caused dissatisfaction among the royal family, and it is said that many people want to impeach him.
Therefore, it is still unknown how long he can stay in the position of the number one person in the military.
Now, Huayue Country's counterattack fleet has quietly sailed into the Liuli Islands. A local patrol fleet unfortunately encountered their vanguard, was lured deep into the enemy's territory and then surrounded and annihilated, and only a few soldiers were able to escape.
As the war progressed, the Riyuan Kingdom fell into a complete disadvantage in this invasion.
The surrounding countries that had deep hatreds with the Riyuan Kingdom also began to move, like a group of hungry hyenas staring at their prey that was about to fall.
Judging from the situation, if Huayue Kingdom wins a few more victories, these countries will most likely sign offensive and defensive contracts with them.
By then, the situation in the Riyuan Kingdom might become even worse, and the one who would bear the blame for the failure of the battle would definitely be himself, the cheap general.
In the country of Riyuan, military generals who stepped down midway usually suffered a miserable fate.
Because there are many internal factions and power is too concentrated, many people have the power to do whatever they want.
This also led to revenge against those generals who were unable to protect themselves after they stepped down.
