The capital of the Principality of Normandy, the night is light. It was supposed to be a rest time to escape the darkness, but even at night, the residents of the Principality are still active in various activities. The nobles’ carriages are staggered, and there is an extravagant comfort everywhere. The atmosphere of the principality’s Prime Minister Bokov’s mansion is brightly lit, and all kinds of people come in and out. It is like another central area of the capital.
"A good news, the Principality of East Angeles has promised to support us in Normandy becoming a regional consul!" Bokoff glanced across the faces of everyone, and raised the goblet full of precious langs, to all the people below The person who waited with bated breath said, "That is to say, among the 24 principalities within the empire, 5 have already agreed to support us as the governor of the North Fourth District. This round of elections, we in Normandy are already inevitable!" /
"Hurray, that's great!" The nobles below smiled and screamed cheerfully. Everyone gathered here today to hear the good news.
The Principality of East Angele is a major duchy in the northern region of Normandy. In terms of strength, it is also known as one of the three major duchy of the North Four Districts along with the Principality of Normandy and the Principality of Boryangan, and the Principality of Boryangan is the competition of the Duchy of Normandy The opponent, the attitude of the Principality of East Angele is undoubtedly enough to make Normandy feel that the winning ticket is in hand,
"Come, let us toast to a new level of the Principality of Normandy!"
"It shouldn’t be a toast for the Kingdom of Normandy!" Bokoff’s mouth smiled, only occasional worries flashed in his eyes. The situation in the Principality has been a bit sluggish since the withdrawal of Salander,
Especially in the Battle of Salander, Normandy not only lost tens of thousands of troops, but finally had to pay a huge amount of war damages to get out of it, which made the Principality of Normandy, which had just a little risen feeling full I was hit, but it’s fortunate that the cruel plundering of southern Saland made the Normandy nobles make a fortune in this war.
Compared with the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers, the acquisition of tens of millions of property and the possession of nearly 200,000 Salander slaves, the former is not so important. With these properties opening the way, the Principality The road to run for the governor this time is much smoother than in previous years. As long as Normandy can be the governor of the North Four District, the status of the Principality will get a qualitative leap.
As a consul country, it is already an important minister of the empire. It can obtain the power to levy taxes and demand tribute from other countries in each region, and most importantly,
The archon has the power to declare war on behalf of the empire, and can be assisted by the main army of the empire. If all goes well, the Duke of Normandy is likely to become the archon of this term. At that time, Salander is a piece of fat It must be eaten. The Normandy nobles have already tasted the sweetness in the foreign war. Although their front teeth were knocked off, the meaty smell in the teeth still tempts them,
After the banquet was over, Adjutant Rupert came to Prime Minister Bokov’s study and reported something to him
"The Falcon Kingdom Navy has collided with the Imperial Navy. According to our inside report arranged in Antoros, just 2 days ago, the cruise fleet of Merundi was on our scheduled route with the Falcon Kingdom Navy. Encounter"
"Who won?" Prime Minister Box asked calmly, but his eyebrows were raised slightly. It was a somewhat nervous subconscious action. Years of training had already made him calm as a mountain.
"No one won! I heard that the Navy of the Falcon Kingdom and the Merundi fleet will have their own wins and defeats! If it were not for the arrival of enemy reinforcements, or the cruise fleet of Merendi would be able to wipe out the opponent," Adjutant Rupert face The wording carefully said, "I only know that the encounter was fought so tragically, and even the main fleet of Melendi has only returned to less than 14 ships."
"14 ships..." This number moved the face of Boxer even thinking about it. He asked with some uncertainty, "Are you sure it is 14 ships? Not 40 ships? As the three largest in the empire One of the main fleets, the Merendi fleet is not the largest in number, but it is definitely the most assault. In the battle to open the China Sea Channel 20 years ago, it was because of his pursuit and fierce battle. Finally settled the victory"
"14 ships, for this reason, our people went to the docking point to personally confirm it!" Adjutant Rupert said solemnly, "and the port of Antoros has also been attacked fiercely, almost in ruins!"
Box glanced at the documents he was holding without answering. It took a while before he said, “But that’s good, the defeat of the Merundi Fleet should be reported to the Imperial Admiralty soon. I believe this report is at this moment. It has been placed on the Admiralty’s desk. At this moment, it is the season for admirals of the Navy to look for opportunities with bulging eyes. I believe there will be answers soon."
"My lord means... the main force of the Imperial Navy will be assembled in Antoros?" Adjutant Rupert opened his eyes slightly, and his voice was trembling. For the passionate young man , Is there anything more fascinating than this?
"Speaking of which, I haven’t seen such a scene for 20 years! I’m so nostalgic. At the beginning, I also went out with the main fleet. The huge scene of the launch of a thousand ships is still deeply reflected. In my mind, "Prime Minister Box of the Principality raised his head and looked at the stars outside the window, his eyes full of unknown emotions
"My lord used to be a navy? Then..."The adjutant Rupert looked awkward, the Prime Minister Box was bloated, and his eyes were a bit dark. It is really like the imaginary empire of heroism and heroism. The navy is far away,
"Admiral of the Fifth Division of the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy"
Boxes stared into the distance, and read a long list of titles, with a red glow on his face. This title reminded him of his youthful years of love, and his young and vigorous chest dared to meet him. The waves are swaying, and the empire’s warships are used to conquer pieces of unfamiliar seas, instead of the old man full of ambition and love, as it is now.
Few people know the idea of a naval raid that made the Normans take the initiative to attack Salander like lightning. It was brought up by him, a civil official,
He glanced at the stupefied adjutant Rupert and said, "You want to say, why, as a person from the Imperial Navy, would suggest to the Lord Duke to take the initiative to abandon an important port like Antoros, right? "
"No...Don't dare!" Adjutant Rupert was taken aback, and quickly lowered his head and said, under Box's gaze, he felt that what he thought in his heart seemed to be there without any concealment.
"I know, you are not the only one who hates me because of this!" Box said with a complicated expression. The springboard launches an attack on Salander. If in turn, with a sufficiently powerful navy, the opponent can also do the same."
冇
With our own strength, we can't hold Antoros! "Box’s voice stopped, and the corners of his mouth filled with deep meaning smile." In order to ensure the safety of the Principality, he took the initiative to surrender Antoros in exchange for the support of the Dunkerians and let the Dunkerians entangle with the Falcon Kingdom. At least in this turbulent current that may sweep the entire empire’s coast, we are safe to stay out of the matter and gather all our forces to advance for the principality’s continental hegemony."
" That’s the case. I also complained privately for abandoning such an important port of Antoros! It really made me have no place! "Adjutant Rupert’s young face is full of shame." Many nobles in China They are dissatisfied with this. I believe they will soon know how wise the Prime Minister is to abandon Antoros. The victory of Antoros is not important. Even if the Imperial Navy loses this battle, this enmity will not reach us. Body"
"Well, it seems that you understand quickly" Box gave him an unexpected look, revealing a faint chill
"There, I followed the adults, and I understood it naturally!" Adjutant Lubbock lowered his head, a trace of panic flashed across his face
"Okay, let's stop here. By the way, isn't tomorrow your mother's death day? You can take a day off!" Box said coldly to him, and the young adjutant smiled sideways.
This kind of laughter does not represent any intention, it is just his habit. "My lord cares so much about my personal affairs, I am really flattered!"
"Of course, you are my close relatives." Box's eyes were full of solemn ~IndoMTL.com~ Adjutant Rupert's back turned his body and couldn't help but sway slightly.
"Do you know everything?"
"I'm sorry your mother." The father and son looked at each other quietly, without the slightest warm atmosphere. The love between father and son had dried up long ago, and each had a different expression.
"Are you still on your mind?" The young adjutant's body trembled slightly
"Always..." Box's face rarely showed a trace of shame, and said with some trembling
"My mother would be very happy if she heard these words in another world. I would like to thank her! But, in fact, you don’t have to take it in your heart. Back then, in the poor daughter of a poor family Between the richest daughters of the most powerful family in the Principality, I will also make the same choice with you... um... Make the same choice as an adult!" Rupert was in a daze, but within a few seconds, he immediately returned to normal.
"...I'm just a mediocre who just graduated from college, and I don't know the height of the world, but you handed over the responsibility of adjutant to me. Is it because of your affection for my father and son?"
Prime Minister Box of the Principality looked at the flustered adjutant expressionlessly, and said, "Inwardly, you look so much like me. On the outside, you look like a mother... But the position of the prime minister is not hereditary. He wants to be mine. Heir, not by blood, strength and prestige are the most important! Take time to cultivate capital! This time Lord Duke will go to the Imperial Capital to report on his duties. I have already posted your name as a servant official report, I believe it will be soon Approval" (to be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
