You call me a big treacherous evil?

According to the succession law of the peers, these second sons have nothing to do with them except for a fortune, which may be rich or meager, after they reach adulthood.

If they want to maintain their previous aristocratic life, for the second sons of most noble families, it is a good choice to join the Knights of the Kingdom and the Capital Guards, and receive a generous annuity from the emperor.

At the same time, the identity of their second son is also determined. If their family has any disobedience, and they are loyal to the emperor after killing their relatives.

They will be able to inherit everything that originally belonged to their elder brother, and basically they will not have to struggle in this life.

Relying on the Knights of the Kingdom and the Guards of the Capital, successive Lucian emperors have smashed countless mutinies and rebellions.

Even decades ago, the rebellion launched by some field guards instigated by hundreds of nobles and nobles was also suppressed under the powerful offensive of the Kingdom Knights and the capital guards.

At that time, an army composed of [-] field guards, tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of mechas had already invaded the Privy Square of Fort St. Nicholas, and issued and drafted the "Declaration to the People of Lucia", Announced the overthrow of the Second Empire government, immediately convened a constitutional assembly, established a provisional government, and announced the abolition of serfdom and the liberation of serfs across the country.

However, what awaited them was tens of thousands of capital guards with high morale and hundreds of mechas of the Kingdom Knights after the emperor emptied half of the inner treasury.

Finally, after a day of bloody battle, the noble rebels were defeated.

More than a dozen surviving high-ranking nobles were executed, and hundreds of nobles were exiled.

What awaited them was the bitter cold land covered by permafrost in Kimberia in the eastern part of the empire.

And the authority of the emperor has also been greatly enhanced after sweeping away these republican nobles.

So when the imperial spies sent back that someone was secretly contacting the troops, there was a possibility of a coup in the capital.

The emperor, who has become path-dependent on how to deal with coups and mutinies, must stabilize the most important military forces in his hands and ensure their loyalty.

As long as this army is still loyal to the imperial family, no matter how much disturbance there is in the local area, it will not be able to shake the emperor's rule.

After all, the Franche mob really overthrew their king decades ago, and guillotined the poor king and his queen.

All the emperors and kings, together with their educated gentlemen, spent decades destroying that unjust country.

The emperor believed that although there was some unhappiness between the kings and the emperor, and there were some bumps and bumps.

But when there is such a big event that the mud legs really want to rebel, everyone will still unite to defend the dignity of the nobles.

After all, in terms of blood, everyone is more or less blood-related relatives, and they will not sit back and watch those mud-legged people take off this glorious crown.

After inspecting the camps of the Kingdom Knights and the Capital Guards, the emperor felt a little relieved.

During the inspection, the emperor confirmed the combat readiness of the two troops, and during the dinner with the knights and officers, he confirmed that these gentlemen still maintained their loyalty to the royal family.

Then the emperor left the barracks and returned to the palace in the farewell of these gentlemen.

While sitting in the carriage, the emperor was still lamenting that these kingdom knights and guard officers were a group of decent gentlemen.

Although the skyrocketing prices have reduced their annuities a lot, these gentlemen have no complaints about themselves.

However, as always, they will obey all their orders, even if it makes them charge to hell.

This kind of people who are loyal to the country, after the empire's finances improve, must be greatly rewarded to repay their loyalty.

What the emperor didn't know was that the soldiers of the Capital Guards, whom he should really pay attention to, were not very happy at the moment.

Because gentlemen will not let their own interests be damaged.

So if gentlemen want to guarantee their good life when prices are soaring, they can only suffer from those muddy legs.

These mud legs should be grateful to Dade for being able to stay in the capital instead of going to the front line to fight the Teutons.

As for extraneous things like money, you mud-legged people don't know how to spend it, so let us spend it for you.

Heck, don't say anything, our Terman is just so understanding.

So these veterans looked at their empty pockets, then at the guns in their hands, then turned their heads and asked the gentleman who had just stuffed them with a "little meeting gift" "What do you want us to do? ".



023 The Cannons of St. Nicholas Fort

Of course, Victor and Joseph didn't know that when they reorganized their troops, there was another group of people in Fort St. Nicholas who were going to do the same thing with them.

After the two formed a leadership team, although they could reach an agreement on most of the issues, it could even be said that they cooperated well, as if they were old friends for many years.

But on one issue, the two were still unable to reach an agreement.

And always stalemate and argue endlessly.

This issue started when Victor, relying on the emperor's warrant, sneaked into the inner city with half a guard company and captured the garrison knight company.

Ever since he took control of the whole city, Victor, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, has been throwing the mecha of the knight company in the warehouse to collect dust.

It wasn't until Victor and Joseph started to work together that they began to reorganize the battle groups that had been scattered before into large-scale divisions and brigades. When they looked at the logistics list and began to worry about the severe shortage of squads and ranks to suppress firepower.

Victor suddenly slapped his head, remembering that there was still a mecha of a knight company in the inner city.

The lack of machine guns and artillery now is not as good as dismantling artillery and machine guns from battleships before.

Dismantling these dozens of mechs, how much difference can be made up.

Anyway, Victor has now made up his mind, that is, to follow the dignified path of high-quality light infantry and independent heavy artillery.

When I am free and the industrial capabilities are matched.

Then turn to the road of steel torrent and firepower advantage.

Just throw evil things like mechas in the museum and leave them for future generations to visit.

However, Joseph, who was also worried, heard that Victor was still throwing a company of mechas to no avail, and planned to dismantle these mechas.

Joseph almost jumped up angrily on the spot, and slapped the table on the spot to express that Victor's behavior was a crime and irresponsible to the revolution.

Maybe it was when he was a financier, he had painful memories of being chased by mechs for eight streets.

So Joseph felt that Victor's behavior was too extravagant and wasteful.

I used to dream of getting a mecha, but I didn't have the chance.

Now a whole company of mechas are placed there, and you actually want to dismantle them?

It is necessary to use these mechs and equip the troops with these big killers as soon as possible.

Regarding Joseph's proposal, Victor still persuaded him kindly at first, saying that our current logistical capabilities cannot handle such a big guy.

The available motorcycle hours of this thing are frighteningly low, and the field speed is also faster than infantry.

But in terms of logistics, it is comparable to those big toys of the navy.

It is purely a tool used by nobles and gentlemen to show their uniqueness. It is not very proletarian and not particularly revolutionary.

What's more, we don't have a suitable driver to operate, let the novice driver drive these things to the battlefield to kill the emperor.

It's better to dismantle and strengthen the weapons to the infantry.

But facing the stubborn Joseph, Victor failed to change Joseph's point of view after all his good words.

Victor also lost his temper, and patted the table to show that you know a ball and a military, and you know a hammer engineering!

Do you know how many good things I can make when I have the time to make this thing.

Do you know how much more ammunition can be delivered to the artillery unit by the transport capacity occupied by this thing.

What is your intention to be so obsessed with this big toy of feudalism?

Just as the quarrel between the two was about to rise to the Revolutionary Military Commissioner and asked for a vote.

A little incident happened on the front line, which ended the dispute between the two.

I don't know if it's because the commis on the front line are too hard on propaganda, or the strict sense of secrecy of the noble officers, or some civilian staff who should review letters are in a hurry to get off work.

In short, a national riot broke out in the country, and now the news that the emperor wants to mobilize troops from the front line to return to the country to suppress it is spreading all over the sky among the troops on the western front.

On the western front, these repeatedly defeated troops relied on the emperor's nationalist propaganda to maintain their morale. When fighting the Teutons, no matter how difficult it was, the soldiers could still shout for the motherland (♀) to persevere.

But now when they learned that they were going to be transferred back to the country to suppress the people, these soldiers immediately quit.

Co-authored me to fight the Teutons to death on the front line, you plan to starve our family to death?

Is this the so-called father of the emperor who cared for us like a strict father?

I don't want to fight this broken battle for a day. If the emperor wants to fight the Teutonic people and suppress the riots, let him do it himself, and the Lord will not wait for you!

With the large-scale mutiny on the front line, the Revolutionary Military Council at this time can no longer take care of these dozen or so mechs.

Ilich immediately found Victor and said that the plan must be advanced, and Commi must control the Western Front Army, the largest armed group.

At the same time in Fort St. Nicholas, news of a mutiny at the front was quietly spreading.

Those gentlemen who had been prepared for this decided to launch a coup immediately to overthrow the emperor's rule.

So when Victor took the fast lightning strike ship and rushed to the western front to point out a new way to the soldiers.

In Fort St. Nicholas, a coup d'état also broke out.

The soldiers of the Capital Guards, while controlling the officers, also smashed open the arsenal and persuaded the unsuspecting soldiers to either stay in the barracks or join them.

Obviously, due to the inhumanity of the gentlemen, the officers of the Capital Guards, most of the soldiers who knew nothing about the mutiny beforehand knew that the mutiny soldiers were planning to support their families with such a small salary. After expressing my views to various places.

They all strongly agreed with each other.

So the coup nobles thought at first that they could only draw one-third of the soldiers from the imperial guards in the capital to attack the palace.

When the results were met, they found that only one-third of the soldiers were not involved in the coup.

However, those soldiers who did not participate also showed another attitude of support.

After the coup soldiers left, they closed the barracks with armed forces and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

The rebellion of the imperial guards in the capital could not be hidden from the emperor.

When the mutiny broke out, the emperor's spies issued a warning to the emperor.

No, Your Majesty, your loyal Imperial Guards of the capital have rebelled!

Originally, the emperor thought the news was a false report.

But when the quartermaster loyal to the emperor bombarded the coup soldiers with the ancient [-]-pounder muzzle gun on the post, the sound of the guns trying to drive them away from the arsenal shattered the last illusion of the emperor.

However, the emperor still maintained a little composure at this time.

Don't panic, as long as the invincible kingdom knights attack, everything will be fine!



024 Little Secret of the Empire

The kingdom knights composed of the second sons of the nobles did not rebel.

After all, talking about rebellion with a group of second sons who are waiting for their families to rebel and then inherit the family business is somewhat Darwinian.

But these aristocratic lords did not reassure the emperor.

After all, the mechs they use are just like battleships.

If you don't prepare in advance, you have to make it move when things come to an end.

That's more or less like ducks opening their eyes, but ducks not closing them.

Although according to the regulations, one-third of the mechas of the Kingdom Knights must be in operation at all times in order to deal with emergencies.

According to the vision of Emperor Lucia who established the Knights of the Kingdom.

Even if there are events such as the rebellion of the nobles, the rebellion of the capital guards, etc.

Even if the Knights of the Kingdom invest only one-third of the mechas, they can still last for at least a few hours.

Let alone dozens of mechas, even if it was dozens of bunkers, they would not be able to take them down for a few hours.

At that time, the remaining mechas will be put into the battlefield after the activation is completed, isn't he sure of winning?

Moreover, every knight of the Kingdom Knights is canonized by the emperor himself. Every year on the Holy Father's Day, these mechas will also come out to parade with the capital's imperial guards.

This kind of perfect arrangement, no one can afford my spare salary, right?

However, when the emperor sent guards to let the Knights of the Kingdom go into battle immediately to suppress the soldiers of the Capital Guard who were besieging the arsenal.

The guard in charge of delivering the order was surprised to find that none of the nearly two hundred mechas in the entire Kingdom Knights could move now.

The boilers of each mecha are now as cold as his mood when he found out that none of the knights in the kingdom can be dispatched.

Seeing the guard standing there in a daze, the head of the Knights quickly stuffed him with a jingling pocket, saying that brother and us are forced by family circumstances, please tell His Majesty.

We are being attacked by rebels, so we cannot leave the barracks for the time being.
