Chapter 1455 Hero Allen
Alan slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was his son, Adam's face.
Adam Jones... no, it should be Adam von Jones now, looking at his father with a smile on his face.
"Father, it's time to get up. It's rare that you stay in bed."
"Ah... I had a... very long dream..."
"Dream? Father, what did you dream about?"
"... I dreamed about a lot of things in the past."
After saying that, Alan said no more, got up and left the room with Adam.
As soon as he left the room, Alan smelled the unique wheat aroma of bread.
After a simple wash, he walked down the stairs and came to the dining table. Alan saw his wife, Nifa, who was putting bread on the dining table.
When she saw Alan coming, Nifa immediately smiled.
"Good morning, Alan."
"Yes, Nifa, good morning."
"You got up so late today, it's rare." Nifa asked the question that Adam had asked just now.
"Well, because I had a very long dream." Allen also repeated his answer to Adam.
"Come on, Allen, eat quickly. Aren't you going to the palace today? Eat breakfast quickly and then go to the palace."
"Well."
...
...
Allen stuffed the bread into his mouth silently.
While stuffing the bread into his mouth, Adam chattered about the interesting things he had encountered recently in a vague voice.
Nifa smiled and continued Adam's words from time to time.
After saying that there was no topic to talk about, Adam turned his head and asked Allen:
"Father! What are you going to do in the palace later?"
"... Attend a very important military meeting."
"Military meeting?" After hearing the word "military", Nifa frowned.
"Alan, is there going to be another war?"
"...Yeah." Alan nodded after hesitating for a while, "In the next one to two years, wars may break out in the west and north of our country at the same time."
"We must come up with a countermeasure to stop the attack from the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire as soon as possible."
It is no secret that the Holy Hilan Empire has cancelled its alliance with the Frankish Empire and replaced it with the Britannia Empire.
The Franks, who have a slightly keener political sense, will feel quite uneasy when they learn that their western neighbors have formed an alliance with their northern neighbors.
After learning that the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire have formed an alliance, the monarchs and ministers of the central government of the Frankish Empire spend almost every day in panic.
They are afraid that they will suddenly learn about the attack from the armies of the two countries tomorrow...
There have been countless small meetings on the topic of "How to stop the attack from the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire" in these days.
But today is the first time that Emperor Shad has held a large meeting.
Allen is now one of the few generals in the Frank Empire, so he naturally needs to attend today's meeting.
"Is there going to be a war again..." Nifa murmured with a sad face, "Alan... If our country goes to war with the Britannia Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire now, what are the chances of winning?"
The chances of winning are slim - Allen wanted to answer Nifa's question truthfully.
But after hesitating for a while, he decided to tell a white lie.
"... As long as our Frankish soldiers work together and fight to the death, there is still hope to save this country."
As soon as Allen's voice fell, Yara on the side said excitedly:
"Mother! Don't be afraid! Father is a great hero! Even if the Britannia Army and the Hilan Army attack, father can drive them all back!"
Hearing his son's words, Allen was stunned.
Then, a faint smile appeared on Allen's face.
After the Nibelungen Plan ended in a disastrous defeat,
Alan was the only general who successfully escaped from the Britannia Empire.
There were 4 generals who participated in the Nibelungen Plan, but only Allen successfully returned home.
The disastrous failure of the Nibelungen Plan directly shook the foundation of the Frankish Empire.
In order to quickly stabilize the morale of the army, Shade decided to reward Allen who successfully escaped back to the country.
The reason why Shade rewarded Allen was that on the one hand, he wanted to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, and on the other hand, because the number of generals in the Frankish Empire was already very scarce, Shade decided to win over Allen and let Allen continue to fight for their Frankish Empire wholeheartedly.
The Frankish Empire can no longer afford the cost of losing another general.
So Shade realized Allen's long-cherished wish-to make Allen a nobleman, so that Allen has since changed from a civilian to a nobleman.
Allen's name has changed from Allen Jones to Allen von Jones.
Allen is now a nobleman, so his descendants will naturally become nobles.
So Allen's son-Adam also benefited from this, and his name changed from Adam Jones to Adam von Jones.
In addition to conferring the title of noble upon Allen, Shade also organized people to publicize Allen's achievements during his years of lurking in the Britannia Empire.
If Allen's achievements since he lurked in the Britannia Empire were 100 points, Shade forced his subordinates to make it 10,000 points.
Under the media campaign of Shade, the morale and fighting spirit of the generals and officers of all ranks of civilian origin in the Frankish army were all high.
Most of the middle and lower-level officers in the Frankish army were of civilian origin.
Shade not only made Allen a nobleman, but also praised Allen's various achievements, in order to let the other generals and officers of civilian origin in the army see that even if they were not of civilian origin, they could rely on their achievements to complete the reversal of their lives.
Shade's set of methods was very successful.
Many generals and officers of civilian origin in the Frankish army were moved and inspired by Allen's deeds.
Many generals and officers of civilian origin secretly vowed that they would become nobles and complete the reversal of their lives like Allen in the future by relying on their military exploits.
Because Shade's media campaign was so fierce, he made Allen a great hero, which made Allen's prestige in the army and among the people soar.
Many people believed Shade's media campaign and mistakenly believed that Allen was really a great hero who had made many great achievements during his time lurking in the Britannia Empire.
For example, Alan's son Adam.
Adam was so happy and excited when he learned that his father was such a great hero.
Alan became the person Adam admired the most and became a great hero in Adam's eyes.
Alan felt helpless about Adam's admiration for him.
Because he knew how false the image of himself portrayed in the public opinion offensive launched by Emperor Shad was.
During the time he was lurking in the Britannia Empire, he had not made any great achievements at all.
