Holy Xilan Empire, the imperial capital of Ailanmuya, in the palace——
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Calm down?" Vasili glared at Mond in front of him, "How can you ask me to calm down? How can I calm down when that bastard El does such a thing?!"
After that, Vasili grabbed a porcelain pot next to him and smashed it hard on the ground.
The originally beautiful porcelain pot turned into countless pieces.
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Prime Minister Mond could only sigh and let Vasili vent.
The reason why Vasili was so angry at this time was because he had just received a report from the southern front.
The southern front-naturally refers to the front battlefield of the attack on the Frankish Empire that is still ongoing.
After the fall of the city of Bolu, Su Cheng and El began to follow the rules set by the central governments of the two countries at the beginning and marched in the direction of their respective responsibilities.
Su Cheng led his army to encroach on the southern territory of the Frankish Empire, and El led his army to encroach on the eastern territory of the Frankish Empire.
According to Vasili's inner idea, what happened next should be that El successfully encroached on all the territories in the eastern part of the Frankish Empire, allowing their Holy Hilan Empire to successfully occupy the northern and eastern territories of the Frankish Empire and share the land of the Frankish Empire with the Britannia Empire.
However, a report sent back by El later stunned Vasili.
Then Vasili became furious.
The report sent back by El was concise and to the point.
Its main content was that the army's supply line had reached its limit and was unable to move forward, and the remaining land in the eastern part of the Frankish Empire could not be annexed.
According to the report sent back by El, their Hilan army only occupied a very small part of the territory east of the city of Bulu.
This report from El was telling Vasili that he could no longer lead his army forward, and the remaining land in the eastern part of the Frankish Empire was no longer able to be annexed, so he had to give up.
The important purpose of Vasili's agreement to form an alliance with the Britannia Empire and fight the Frank Empire together was to grab enough land from the Frank Empire.
Vasili naturally would not agree with El's practice of no longer leading the army to advance and no longer encroaching on the territory of the Frank Empire.
So, Vasili issued a large number of edicts, asking El to continue to advance and swallow up all the eastern territories of the Frank Empire.
However, no matter how many edicts Vasili issued, El remained unmoved.
For every edict Vasili sent, El sent back a report.
The contents of these reports sent back by El were similar, all of which were-
The transportation capacity of the logistics troops had reached its limit and was unable to send supplies to further places.
The central government of the Frankish Empire concentrated almost all the materials in the country in Bolu, and the materials stored in the cities in the east of the Frankish Empire were not enough to support the normal operation of the army.
Therefore, the army could not move forward. If the army continued to move forward, the army would face the crisis of supply line collapse and then food shortage.
However, no matter how El explained, Vasili would not listen.
He only knew that if they did not annex the eastern territories of the Frankish Empire, then their Holy Hilan Empire would suffer a great loss.
So even though El had told Vasili many times why the army could not continue to advance and the dangers of allowing the army to continue to advance, Vasili still insisted on his own opinion and was unwilling to continue to advance eastward.
The latest war report just sent back made Vasili, who was already furious these days, almost fainted.
This war report showed that the Britannia Army, under the leadership of Su Cheng, successfully annexed all the territories south of Bolu.
Because El no longer led the army to the east, Su Cheng simply sent troops to "help" the Holy Hilan Empire occupy the remaining territories in the east of the Frankish Empire.
The land that should have belonged to their Holy Hilan Empire,
Now it is occupied by the Britannia Empire-Vashili almost fainted, and this is not an exaggeration.
When he learned of this news, Vasili really almost fainted.
After barely cheering up, there was a scene where Vasili smashed everything in the room in anger, and Prime Minister Mond came to comfort him.
The Britannia Army occupied the land that should have belonged to their Holy Hilan Empire - this happened, and Vasili could not blame the Britannia Empire.
Because the rules set by the Holy Hilan Empire Central Government and the Britannia Empire Central Government clearly stated: If one party is unable to swallow the remaining territory, the other party can take over the land it cannot swallow for the other party.
So Vasili could not condemn the Britannia Empire at all.
The Britannia Empire was just doing things according to the rules.
"Mond! Look at what El did! Look at what El did!"
Vasili's face turned a strange crimson because of anger.
"Because of Er's refusal to advance, our Holy Hilan Empire only occupied the northern and a small part of the eastern territory of the Frankish Empire!"
"And the Britannian Empire occupied the western, southern, and most of the eastern territory of the Frankish Empire!"
"We lost a lot!"
"We spent so much money! We launched an expedition with the whole country's strength, but in the end, most of the benefits were taken away by the Britannian Empire!"
"How can you make me calm down!"
"How can you make me calm down!"
"El... you bastard!"
Vashili's eyes seemed to be about to burst out with real anger at any time.
"Has he forgotten who gave him his current position?"
"If it weren't for me promoting him and trusting him unconditionally, he would still be just an ordinary quartermaster! How could he have his current position?!"
"I also gave him the title of 'Undefeated Marshal' and promoted him."
"What's the result?! Mond! Look at how El treated me?"
"It's only been a few years since I promoted him to become a marshal? It's only been less than 3 years!"
"In less than 3 years, he has learned to disobey my orders and disobey my orders!"
"What's the use of a dog that doesn't obey my orders!"
Vashili clenched his fists tightly.
"I must punish El...! Let him know clearly - who he relies on to get his current position!"
...
...
For the roaring Vashili, Mond did not want to plead for El.
He just watched Vasili roar and vent quietly.
He knew that Vasili was angry at what El had done.
If he pleaded for El, he might get scolded as well.
So, in order to protect his own interests, Mond kept his mouth shut.
And he was thinking whether he should also speak up and make some suggestions for punishing El.
