All four forces gathered in Ailena just to ask for news about new weapons, and did not keep it absolutely confidential. Soon, Paul Gibson, the emperor of Ankenrien, knew about this.

In the palace area of ​​Rosville, Emperor Paul Gibson, dressed in casual clothes, stood beside the bookshelf of the study, holding a recently published copy of the Fluorite. His sixth son, Eliot, the military counselor Henry Claflyn, the Royal Police Chief Phyllas Nuffle, the Royal Weapons Institute president Billy Oduye, and Prime Minister Emil Irvingzi stood beside him, bowing his head and silently.

"So, are you telling me that this former founder of "Fluorite", a small serf who was sentenced to death and was the mastermind behind the current "Fluorite"?"

"Yes, your majesty," Ferrais Nuffle knew that this question must be answered by himself. "All the evidence points to Eilena. The fluorite, currently circulating in China and in the Third Republic of Vern, has been determined to be printed in Eilena's printing factory after our rigorous investigation. The printing equipment in the factory was produced by Gastenth himself using the equipment of the Eilena factory. It was mainly the head of Eilena's internal affairs and media, Daisy Richardson. Her father, William Richardson, was the director of Pengpai Dynamics, and provided a lot of help for Gastenth's early development in Eilena."

Paul Gibson was silent. He flipped through the "Fluorite" in his hand, looked at the reports on the latest international and domestic situations and the analysis of class contradictions, and read out a few dazzling words.

"...The civil war broke out in Ankenry now is fundamentally the power struggle within the feudal forces and the internal contradiction between backward production relations and backward production relations. No matter who wins or loses, it will weaken Ankenry's feudal power and provide a more fertile soil for the development of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat..."

"Sir," Emil Irving salutes, "This matter is clear. Gastenth of Elena is the leader of the communist movement and thoughts in this period. Moreover, the Elena Plain under his command has begun to promote land reform in Enspan Province, and has mastered a certain amount of military power and advanced weapons. This is already a cancer that endangers national security. What should be dealt with, please give your Majesty the instructions."

"Do you think I don't know he is a cancer?" Paul Gibson patted the newspaper in his hand and looked at his son, "Liu'er, Liu'er, how many times have I told you, don't recruit anyone under your command. How good is this person, you'll let him be hanged or died in the suicide squad, how much trouble can we lose now!"

"Father, I'm wrong."

Elliot knelt on his knees and touched the floor, expressing his apology. Paul was still angry and ignored him, so he let him lie down like that. Seeing this, Henry Claverly, the Grand Duke of the Golden Lion, spoke.

"Your Majesty, judging by the current situation, it is not difficult to destroy Elena. His core strength is nothing more than now being expanded into a brigade. Most of the soldiers were ours. A brigade had to survive and only three thousand people were killed. Even if all three thousand people were equipped with Brave Rifles, or the better Thunder Rifle used inside, they were only three thousand people. The results of the Battle of Curtis and the Battle of Thorn Hills have proved that as long as the number of people was sufficient, we could eliminate this army equipped with new weapons in an institutional way."

"Can their guns be copied now?" Paul Gibson looked at Billy Oduye, the director of the Royal Weapons Institute.

"It's very difficult, and the technical understanding is not complicated. Manual trial production is almost done. However, we have not mastered the materials and processes of high-pressure gas cylinders."

“How long will it take to copy it?”

"It's hard to say, it may take some time to copy it as it is. However, if we just adopt his concept of breech loading and gas cylinder shooting, we can produce similar weapons, but the amount of ammunition storage, portability and stability may not be as good as the original version."

"So, it's better to get the design drawings, right?"

“That’s natural.”

Paul Gibson got the information he wanted to know and looked at his son again, "You said you were stuck in your neck by a former subordinate and asked him to sell you a gun. Don't you know that the more guns he sells to you, the greater his own power and the greater our threat?"

"My son just doesn't want to lose the Eastern Front War," Elliot bowed his head again, "This time my son doesn't plan to do what he wants. If this continues, we will be controlled by him."

"You finally realized the problem," Paul Gibson nodded and made a decision.

"As he said, the two lines of the world are now wars of our backward production relations, and are internal contradictions. Using their communist contradiction theory analysis, what we need to resolve now is the fundamental contradiction between us and the communist movement. I decided to make the elimination of Elena and the first priority of their weapons and technology. What do you think can be said!"

"Sir, Father!" Elliot was the first to speak, "My advice on this matter is like this. If we can contact the Western Military Region and ask them for help, we can..."

The people in the study began to be confused as they listened to Elliot's plan, and then began to nod. They asked questions and made additional suggestions. Soon, an action plan for Elena gradually surfaced.

"This plan is called burial." After finalizing all the details, Paul Gibson gave his own answer.

"Buried these things that shouldn't appear, so that things like communism will never see the light of day!"

——————————

In early June 848, Lu Yuan, the battle broke out again. The Western Military Region and the Neglu Republic's army broke out many battles, with heavy casualties. They were forced to abandon the Thorn Hill defense line and retreat to the two Tulucas avenues near Lairin. The Neglu Republic's army took advantage of the victory to pursue, recovered the lost territory, and advanced to the Lorrain-Ren, and could launch another attack at any time. The commander of the Western Theater Command was in a hurry and sent letters to request the Emperor Paul Gill many times.

Bousen sent troops to support him. But while the battle on the Western Front was severe, Charlie Ronin and his direct troops also launched a counterattack from the province of Karonliot, and a series of battles broke out with Elliot around Oreidri, with heavy casualties on both sides. On the eastern front, Prince Wenfeng's troops were defeated by a series of assaults launched by Karem Ronin, lost the Zidai Plain defense line, and retreated to the outskirts of Neussam again. While busy closing the defense line, they also sent a letter of help to their father.

For a moment, the entire Ankenry was in danger due to the east and west lines, and His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in short supply and could no longer provide enough troops to deal with the increasingly frequent wars.

It was in this context that the envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor and Minister of Defense Samuel Oldman led the team to Elena.

"...In view of the severe situation in the east and west lines recently, and the amazing combat effectiveness of the production brigade stationed in the Ailena Plain, he defeated the front-line large-scale defeated soldiers and the front-line combat troops of the three guards with a small number of troops. He ordered him to hand over the Eilena defensive mission from now on to the Fifth Corps of the Western Theater Command, to rush to the Western Front battlefield to resist the invasion of the enemy country of Niglu, and contribute his own strength to the peace of Ankenrien's land! The logistics department is responsible for the maintenance of all relevant military logistics matters to ensure that the production brigade can be put into battle in the fullest state. Related soldiers' death pensions..."

Gastenth knelt on one knee and listened to the imperial edict read by Defense Secretary Samuel Oldman. Behind him, Deputy Brigade Commander of the Production Brigade, Ivan Warren, Factory Head, Thomas Goulakos, and Daisy Richardson, Elena's Interior Head, maintained the same posture, and everyone remained silent.

"…In view of this, I hope that all the good ministers, Ailena, regard the country as their family, share the worries of the country, and defend Ankenrien's land and people from being invaded by the enemy's country, I admire this!"

The content of the imperial edict was not long, but it was very slow to read Muir Oldman. After reading it, he put it away and handed it to Gastens.

"College Gastens", in the imperial edict, the emperor promoted Gastens two levels in a row, entitled "Congratulations, please accept the edict."

Gastens saluted and stood up, respectfully accepted the imperial edict, and looked up to express his opinion.

"Gastense will not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor."

"That's good. I still have something to do, so I won't stay here for more. For the transfer of subsequent defense work, Mihai Atzma, the commander of the 6th Division of the Fifth Corps stationed in Enspan Province, will contact you directly to ensure that the factory is foolproof."

"Thank you for your concern," Gastenth bowed again, "We will definitely do a good job in Ailena's defense, achieve production, fight at the same time, and share your worries and problems!"

"That's good, it seems that Your Majesty has not read the wrong person."

Secretary of Defense Samuel Oldman was extremely polite in front of the little colonel Gastenth. He chatted with Gastenth for a few more words and stood up to say goodbye. Gastenth and Elena's senior officials warmly welcomed Oldman for lunch, sent him away from Elena, and immediately held an emergency meeting of the Communist Party.

"What do you think about this matter?"

Facing the seven members of the Party’s deliberation committee, Gastens began to listen to everyone’s opinions after seeing the introduction of the causes and consequences.

"Absolute trap!" Ivan, as the deputy brigade commander of the production brigade, directly expressed his objection. "Once we leave Ailena, Ailena will be taken away by those people immediately. The factories and weapons will be taken away, and if we lose these, we can't promote the revolution at all, right next to the production brigade!"

"It's true," Sink agreed. "We thought the attack would come from Elliot before, but we didn't expect it to come directly from His Majesty the Emperor. Does this mean that the enemy has colluded and wants to destroy us? I have this doubt."

"Everyone, "Fluorite" is what we are printing, and the emperor probably already knows it." Daisy added new information, "The distribution point we established in South Fortress was raided and seized by the Royal Police four days ago. All 17 comrades at the scene were arrested, and their lives and deaths were unknown."

"This explains why the emperor issued an order," Gastens added. "Fluorite is a very reactionary communist newspaper. The ruling class did not know that this newspaper was printed by us. The contradiction between us and the ruling class was limited to the independence of Eliot. As long as we are still supplying the Brave Rifles to Eliot, there will be no major changes. However, if the emperor has confirmed that we are the initiators of Fluorite, then we are facing the key contradiction between the communist movement and the feudal forces. There is no solution to this contradiction. Only by eliminating one side can the other survive."

"Our new weapons were annihilated by the enemy in the last two times, which may also make them objectively realize our shortcomings." Although Gulakos was the head of the factory, he devoted a lot of energy to weapons. "At the beginning, we fought more and defeated Parr Klos, the power of the new weapons was suspected of being exaggerated. Now all the brave combat troops on the Eastern and Western fronts have been annihilated, which has also allowed the enemy to see how to eliminate us."

"Pure number advantage", Ivan tutted his mouth disdainfully, "There is no technical content at all."

"Don't worry about whether there is technical content or not, it's the hard truth to win," Gastens began to redirect the topic, "The cause and effect have been analyzed almost all. What should we do now?"

"The earthy potatoes have been planted in the second season, and the yield in the first season is very high. There is no pressure for the comrades inside the plain to ensure food. If we want to ensure the new serfs who have participated in land reform in Enspan Province, it will be no big problem to persevere until the autumn harvest."

Charlie Harry Warren provides food.

"Where is the militia?" Gastens looked at Ivan.

"Recently, more and more people have come to Ailena, and our total number has exceeded 30,000. If we launch a first-level combat readiness mobilization, we can take out a team of 10,000 people, a division. However, the previous training of this team was mainly about queuing tactics, and we don't have much contact with the new straggling line tactics."

"The troops are a little nervous," Daisy interrupted, "Where are the new farmers in Enspan Province, can they mobilize?"

"All those who participated in land reform can do it. There should be 70,000 or 80,000 people now?" Gastens looked at Charlie Harry.

"Well, there are currently about 80,000 new farmers. If they really want to fight, it is not a big problem to mobilize 20,000 people if the emperor wants to take back the land and identity we allocated to them. However, these 20,000 people have not received much military training."

"It can only be considered a second-line force," Ivan nodded, "Anyway, that's about it. One front-line force has a division and a volleyball tactic. The Sharp Knife Company is now a Sharp Knife regiment, equipped with Thunder and Luoshan. In addition, there are production brigades that use Brave Rifles, and can be replaced with Thunder and One at any time."

"One division plus one brigade, and another sharp knife regiment with the highest combat effectiveness." Gastenth repeated and looked at his comrades.

"What do you think?"

"Try it, there's nothing I can do. If you give up this step, Elena will be gone."

Ivan has a firm attitude.

"Agree." Daisy raised her hand.

"Agree." Sink Warren attached.

"I have no objection." Charlie Harry nodded.

"There is no problem here at the factory." Gulakos clenched his fists and smiled.

"I have no objection, either." Binbo Bobluff tapped the tabletop with his index finger.

"So too." Eddie Warren made his last statement.
