Kapitel 241: Chapter 240: Troop Deployment
Silor, Silver Palace.
Jack convened a meeting of Congress, and representatives of the House of Representatives, the House of Lords, and the heads of various cabinet departments arrived one after another.
After everyone arrived, the whole hall was silent, and everyone was waiting for Jack to speak.
"The march south has been delayed for three months due to some unexpected events. During these three months, a lot of manpower and resources have been consumed, but there is still no gain. So I decided to send troops to the Iron Islands in half a month."
Everyone knew what Jack was talking about, but they were also curious about how Prince Alexander could just disappear on such a big dragon.
But no one dared to mention it to Jack. Jack had been much more irritable in the past three months.
At this time, a bearded man raised his right hand, and after receiving Jack's signal, he said, "Your Majesty, how do we deal with Tyrell?"
The person who spoke was Georgy, one of the cabinet ministers, the head of the provincial defense department, in charge of selecting military officers and military records, military equipment, and military orders. He was one of the most important ministers under the prince.
More than two months ago, a letter arrived from the Tyrell family of the Riverlands.
The letter stated that as long as Jack promised not to disrupt the existing political structure of the River Bay, they would be willing to submit to Jack and fight for him.
In addition, Jack needs to marry Margaery and ensure that each of Margaery's children has a dragon egg.
But Jack was angry and annoyed at the time, so he refused without thinking.
Jack also wrote back to Olenna, asking the River Bay to submit to him honestly, otherwise they would have to wait for the wrath of the sea god!
At the same time, Jack also gave the concept of the family group enterprise, hoping that the River Bay could honestly carry out reforms.
But since ancient times, reforms have always been accompanied by blood, and Riverland unsurprisingly rejected Jack's request.
But what surprised them was that the Tyrell family did not directly turn to the Iron Throne. Instead, they mobilized part of the army and confronted the Iron Throne on the border.
It seems that he is still negotiating with the Iron Throne and is not in a hurry to take sides.
"Don't worry about the Reach. Whatever they do is just a desperate struggle. In this war, the Sea God will help us. You should inform the soldiers first to avoid panic among our own people."
Jack's original idea was to erode Westeros bit by bit, digesting it as he took a bite, and at the same time teach Alexander how to balance his subjects. However, the kid ran away from home and has not been heard from since for three months.
This made Jack extremely irritated, and he lost his patience to slowly swallow Westeros. He directly called Poseidon over and prepared to swallow Westeros in one bite and then digest it slowly.
It is now 303AC. According to the scholars' speculation, the North will be the first to enter the long night in 305AC, and the South will be a little slower, but the latest will not exceed 307AC.
That is to say, about four years later, the long night will cover Westeros.
Four years is almost enough time. With the support of the three cities of Sea King Island and the Free Trade Coast, as well as the continuous supply of food from the Lazar people, four years is enough to digest Westeros.
As for the city-states and foreign races in Essos, they are not far from Neptune's Island and the three cities of Meereen, so there is plenty of time to deal with them.
"Tyrion, are you adapting to your position as Deputy Minister of Provincial Foreign Affairs?" Jack suddenly looked at Tyrion.
Tyrion was slightly stunned when his name was suddenly called, and then immediately said that it was okay.
Tyrion was appointed by Jack as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. The main task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was to win over the southern nobles, but it was basically unsuccessful.
Jack didn't say much about this. After all, he never expected those nobles to cooperate smoothly.
"Myrcella and I's first child will be the prince of the Westerly Province.
You will be temporarily transferred to the provincial defense department, and the army heading south to the riverlands will be handed over to you, Tormund, Kasa, Saigon, and Hecarim.
If your performance satisfies me, I can make you the Duke of the West and give you a seat in the House of Lords."
If one wants to secure the position of Prince of the West in the future, Tyrion is a good candidate to be his assistant minister.
Tyrion readily agreed,
and then Jack arranged some things and asked everyone to go down and prepare.
Since there is no longer a need for layer-by-layer convening, and orders are issued directly by the Silver Palace, the North's administrative efficiency is now very high, and the army is quickly gathering in Bay Cailin.
The Iron Fleet and the White Harbor Fleet gathered on the Rocky Coast.
Three days later, news of the North's actions reached the ears of the southern nobles. As the actual ruler of the Iron Throne, Cersei immediately convened a royal meeting.
"Everyone has seen the intelligence provided by Maester Qyburn. The northern army has begun to gather towards Moat Cailin. It is obvious that they are preparing to move south. What should we do?"
In fact, Cersei already had the idea in her mind, and now it is just a formality.
As Cersei's absolute confidant, Qyburn naturally knew what Cersei was thinking, so he took the lead in speaking:
"I think we can let the Frey family stop Poseidon's army first.
At the same time, give Highgarden one last chance. If Highgarden is still unwilling to marry Margaery to His Majesty the King, we will first eliminate the Tyrell family.
After suppressing the internal instability, we will focus on dealing with the Poseidon family."
