Chapter 1350: Ruining the Family to Relieve Difficulties (Part 2)

To compensate the citizens who had suffered losses due to the scum army, they took out all the money in their luggage.

If we only talk to the people of Orleans about the interests of the nation and the country, and try to rely on these two kinds of interests to arouse the people's fighting spirit and let the people participate in the upcoming battle to defend the city, there is indeed a chance that some of the enthusiasm of Orleans can be mobilized. The fighting spirit of the people increased.

But it will only arouse a very small number of passionate people.

Just relying on such illusory things as national justice and national justice cannot inspire the fighting spirit of the vast majority of Orleans residents and make them willing to risk their lives to accompany you through life and death.

If you want to arouse their fighting spirit, the best way is to talk to them about money.

As long as you give enough money, countless citizens will be willing to transform into brave warriors who are not afraid of death and fight the Britannia until the death.

But now the question arises – where will the money come from?

In order to compensate the citizens who were deceived by the revolutionary army last year, all the money in their luggage has been taken away.

If there is no money, it is impossible to rely on money to arouse the fighting spirit of the city residents and ask them to help them defend the city.

If we directly ask the central government for money, whether the central government is willing to give the money is another matter. After all, the person currently in power is Bella.

Even if you are willing to give this amount of money, you don’t know how long it will take for the money to be approved.

In order to get money quickly, Denis sent three of his personal guards last night to go back to his home in Tuli.

His three personal guards had only one mission - to sell off all the valuable things in his home.

Including all the honors and rewards he received during his decades of military life, such as the Medal of Honor he received when he was young, and the sword given to him by the late emperor.

These honorary gifts are the most valuable things in Deni's family. Those in Tuliduo are wealthy people and nobles who are both rich and interested in such rare things.

So there is no need to worry about the seller.

These are the honors that Denis has earned through his own blood, sweat, and tears over the past few decades.

Just selling them like this - Denis was naturally reluctant to part with them.

But he had to sell.

Because Denis had calculated that he had to sell off the most valuable honorary gifts in his family in order to collect enough money.

Touris is very close to Orléans. Denis's three personal guards came back before the Britannian army came to the city with the money obtained from selling off all his family property - this matter should still be possible. of.

After learning that Denis planned to sell off all his property to raise funds, Roche immediately expressed his opposition.

Although Roger is the eldest son of the Duke of Varoa, he is not yet the head of the family. The current Duke of Varoa has a very strict upbringing and will not overly pamper or give Roger too much just because he is the eldest son. money.

So Luo Xie didn't have many valuable personal belongings.

But after all, he is also a general with considerable military experience. If he uses the military salary he has accumulated over the years and sells some of his valuable personal belongings, he can still collect a certain amount of money.

When Luo Xie suggested that he also wanted to sell off his property to relieve Deni's pressure, Deni smiled slightly and patted Luo Xie on the shoulder:

"You are still young, and there are still many places where money will be needed in the future. Just keep your family property to yourself."

No matter what Luo Xie said or tried to persuade him, Denis remained unmoved and insisted on being responsible for raising all the money himself and not letting anyone else, including Luo Xie, help.

...

...

Deni looked at Luo Xie, who was holding his hands tightly, with a happy smile on his face.

"It's just some trivial things, not really a sacrifice."

"The Britannian army will attack in about four days."

"We're going to be very busy."

"So - Roger,

Be mentally prepared. "

...

...

When the three-way army was only two days away from Orleans, something unexpected happened——

Albert's old injury flares up.

Albert's long military career left him with many wounds.

Various old injuries on his body would flare up from time to time.

In the year 289 of the Imperial Calendar, before Su Cheng became a knight, Albert suffered from an old injury and temporarily withdrew from the front line to recuperate.

It was not until the end of the year 289 in the Emperor's Calendar that Albert gradually recovered and participated in the year-end dinner in the Year 289 in the Emperor's Calendar.

The year-end dinner that year was the first time Su Cheng participated in the year-end dinner.

Su Cheng also met Albert at the year-end dinner this year.

It has been nine years since the year 289 of the Imperial Calendar until now, and Albert's old injury has never recurred.

No one thought that Albert's old injury would suddenly relapse at this juncture!

What time is it now?

Now is the time when the War to Destroy the South is in full swing, and the Battle of Orleans, which will determine the outcome of this war, is about to begin.

Albert, who was the commander-in-chief on the front line of the War to Destroy the South, fell ill at this time - this was really not good news.

Albert's sudden illness illustrates what it means to fail to keep up with changes in plans.

Albert had not had a relapse of his old injury for 9 consecutive years. Everyone in the General Staff, including Su Cheng, naturally ignored the possibility that "Albert's old injury relapsed and he suddenly fell ill", which seemed to have a low probability, but was not impossible.

This also led to the "Veronica" plan, which took into account various emergencies and set various emergency plans for various emergencies, but lacked the emergency plan to be taken "after Albert fell ill".

Albert's relapse this time was an old wound on his chest.

The constant pain of the wound continued to torture Albert, making Albert unable to concentrate on looking at the map.

There was definitely no way to command the troops in this state.

Therefore, Albert made a temporary decision-to temporarily retreat to the second line.

The position of the commander-in-chief of the entire army was temporarily handed over to Harry, the deputy commander of the Knights of Raziel and one of the deputy commanders of this war to destroy the South.

Willy continued to serve as the deputy commander of this war.

He himself retreated to a city north of Orleans that was actually controlled by the Britannia Empire to recuperate.

At the same time, he sent a messenger to inform the Britannia Empire of the emergency he was facing and the emergency plan he had taken.

Albert handed over the position of the commander-in-chief of the entire army to Harry - his decision was well thought out.

After he fell ill, he could only choose two "temporary commanders" - Harry and Willy, who served as deputy commanders in this battle.

Harry was the deputy commander of the Knights of Raziel and his old partner for many years. Albert knew very well how talented and experienced his old partner was.
