Chapter 212 Silent Angels and the Policy of Dividing

Jeanna was helpless: "I can only contact you. I understand that you can't handle everything, but I hope you can help this time.

Now is the autumn harvest time, which has a great impact on them. If the autumn harvest is delayed, they will starve to death in winter and spring. Behind each person is a family of three or five lives."

After hearing this, Orville leaned on his head and thought for a long time: "What I can do is also very simple, that is, to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Once the problem is solved, Governor Bilichika will not need to build so many ships. I will do this without your urging. In addition, I can write you a letter of recommendation so that you can meet the other party. I am not familiar with Governor Bilichika. I only have some official contacts, but you can try to negotiate with him. The person was selected by my father, and he should be able to give me a little face more or less.

If If they are really in financial difficulty next year, please contact me again and I will try to arrange some work for them, at least so that they will not starve to death. I can only promise so many things, my power is limited. "

Jeanna forced a smile on her face: "Thank you, I will deal with this matter immediately. Please write the letter to me quickly. It takes a while to get from here to the province of Belichika, and the road is not very stable. There are pirate activities. "

Oville wrote a letter to the Governor of Belichika on the spot and asked him to take it away. Jeanna took the letter and hurriedly prepared to leave. At this time, Orville called him: "Did your god tell me anything?"

He didn't expect oracles or perspective to turn the situation around, but he felt a little strange. The so-called angels were very active in the Gallic War before, but now they are silent as if they were silenced.

Jeanna closed her eyes for a while, and then said to Orville seriously: "Be careful behind you. That's what the original words said, and the angels are unwilling to reveal what they mean. "

Oville gestured to the other party, indicating that the other party could leave. In fact, he felt that it was the same as not saying anything if he said something without a beginning or an end, which would only cause trouble for others, so it was better not to say it. But at least it was a reminder for him. He thought that the person behind the scenes might be talking about the Vikings. The other party was reminding Orville not to let the wolf into the house, so as not to bring trouble to himself.

Thinking carefully, he did rely too much on the Vikings in recent times. There was no way that the Romans did not have a strong naval capability. If they wanted to fight the Vikings at sea, they could only use the crude method of "using barbarians to control barbarians".

Those who fought bravely deserved rewards, but Orville should also pay attention to not raising a force that was too big to be eliminated to disgust his own people.

Orville understood the reminders of the so-called angels in this way anyway. As for whether it was right or not, it was hard to say. These strange creatures always liked to pretend to be deep, and the riddlers never said everything. How to interpret the oracle has always been a controversial topic, and even wars broke out in the past due to different understandings of the oracle.

The right and wrong of personal understanding can only be known when the facts are revealed. Orville can only wait patiently and cautiously.

——

Orville and the Vikings were fighting fiercely, from September and October of that year to the beginning of January of the next year. Time has come from 73 to 74, and the intermittent wars of all sizes have never stopped.

There are few wars with more than 5,000 participants. There have always been various encounters, looting and raids. If Orville relied on himself, he would have been drained of blood in the British and Gaul provinces, but he has the blood transfusion support of the entire empire behind him.

With the direct order of the emperor, plus now making friends with the powerful figures of the empire is also a worthwhile investment. The governors and generals of the surrounding Narbonne Gaul, Belichicka, and High German provinces are all dedicated to Orville. They actively provided Orwell with supplies, soldiers and various assistance. Even the richest Highland German governor privately sponsored Orwell's military expenses of 150,000 dinars.

With their generous assistance, Orwell could naturally continue to fight the opponent calmly. He divided the battle line into two - the lowland war zone against the Danish king and the Franks, and the northern war zone against the orthodox Viking Ivar.

In the direction of the lowland war zone, the Germans found a very embarrassing problem: their people were getting fewer and fewer, but the size of the Roman fleet was getting bigger and bigger, because a large number of northerners chose to defect to the Roman side to work.

For these Vikings, Orwell catered to their needs. In addition to brutal suppression, he mainly wooed them. He offered an attractive price to the Viking captains who were willing to surrender.

As long as the captain brought his longship and the crew to the Romans, he would be rewarded with a manor in the British province according to the size of his fleet, which was large enough for them to make a living. If they made military achievements in the future, they would receive other rewards.

Many pirates admired Rollo as a leader. They had seen that Rollo had earned his place in the empire with his military strength and bravery, and had won the respect of the Roman Empire. With such a concrete example in front of them, they could not help but believe it.

The wealth of the Roman Empire had always attracted these barbarians from the marginal lands, and Orville was an exceptionally generous governor. These Vikings had not formed the so-called concept of country and nation, and it did not make much difference to them who they worked for.

In this situation, many longship captains and even small pirate leaders chose to surrender to the Romans. Orville accepted them all. Not only did he keep his promise to give them land, but he also helped to settle their families so that they could work at sea with peace of mind.

In his opinion, this was also part of his British plan. These Vikings must be at odds with the local Anglo-Saxons, and using them to contain the locals was a good way. By the way, it can also solve the coastal problems that bothered him. In short, it is a good thing to do.

In addition, the shipyard established by Orville in Caen has gradually expanded its production capacity and is continuously producing warships. The shipbuilding speed of the Germanic small workshops cannot keep up with the Romans in the workshop production. As a result, the situation in the lowlands is slowly and irreversibly leaning towards the Romans, which is quite optimistic overall.

King Charles of the Franks encountered some difficulties in his expedition to the east, which consumed more manpower, material resources and financial resources than expected. Correspondingly, the resources available for the lowlands were reduced, which made Orville's work go even more smoothly than expected.
