MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 529 Is it really a misunderstanding?
Is Chapter 529 really a misunderstanding?
Claude has been thinking about the center of the return journey, whether to directly send troops to occupy the Kannas area ... Now the garrison of the Royal City of Polydivia is the Rock Corps, and Crowd can order the Rock Corps to be divided. Guarding the city of Emies and the Odin Mountains, plus the Thunder Army's control over the Kannas area, the king will never want to touch the Sidens area, the Rimodera area, and the Eskilin area, plus one more Kanas prairie.
In other words, as long as the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps of the Overseas Autonomous Leadership Area set up a line of defense in the Odin Mountains and the City of Emies, and then the King of Polynesia and the Kanas area, then one third of the eastern part of the mainland The above sites will have to say goodbye to the Kingdom of Ovilas, which has become the sphere of influence of the overseas autonomous territory.
If the kings wanted to send troops to attack this line of defense, the Odin Mountains were a natural danger and they couldn't get through. Only the two lines of defense, Emmys to Kings of Polynesia, and Kings of Polynesia to Kanas, could be launched. However, it is a pity that these two lines of defense are near the noble territory that His Majesty has just sealed. The Kingdom Army wants to seek the consent of the lord in advance and guarantee compensation ...
This should be regarded as a cocoon self restraint, Claude felt a little funny. His Majesty the King and the Royal Court must have not expected that they had confiscated so many territories and nobles in the Nasseri region, but it turned out to be a hindrance to their army's conquest of the rebellion of the overseas autonomous leaders. Is it true that the kingdom can conquer the army? You must know that the Thunder Army and the Rock Army killed nearly 700,000 Alliance troops, destroyed the kingdom of Nasseri and the Duchy of Kanas ...
Claude's plan was wonderful, but could it really be implemented?
Judging from the timing and the current situation, the Kingdom of Ovilas simply did not have the strength and capital to wage war with overseas dominions. Claude even had the certainty to perish the kingdom of Ovilas, placing the entire eastern part of Faria under the jurisdiction of the overseas dominion. But can that be done? Claude was very hesitant and doubtful ...
If the Overseas Dominion and the Kingdom of Ovilas are in a state of war, then Claude, who is in charge of military power, can attack any way he wants. But now the overseas dominions and Wang have maintained a good relationship, which can be said to be a normal honeymoon. If Claude made his own claim to attack the kingdom or cede ground, then he would soon become the kingdom rebellion that Wanfu refers to!
This is the feelings of the people of the Kingdom of Ovilas. The 300-year-old rule of the Sterling family over the Kingdom of Ovilas has made all the people of the kingdom self-occupied by the Ovilas, even immigrants from overseas dominions. exception. If you ask an immigrant from an overseas dominion, he will proudly tell you that he is an Ovilas, and the bloodline of the Sterling royal family is the king he obeys ...
Therefore, Claude could not reveal his thoughts again, otherwise, not only would he be opposed by officers at all levels, but even soldiers would shoot black guns. Even Claude himself, who has fought for the kingdom in the past ten years, has unconsciously assumed himself to be a soldier in the Kingdom of Ovilas.
After two days of cranky thoughts, while still a day away from Campster City, the capital of the Beibu Gulf, Claude met a messenger sent by General Albert. The messenger only took the oral message of General Abbott, saying that there had been changes in the king, so that Claude rushed back to the Thunder Corps Command in Campastre as soon as possible.
Claude had to leave the brigade and took the guard squad back to Campastre. After entering the Legion Command, General Ablont ushered in and said, "Our MPs and Marshal Bolonik heading to the capital, as well as General Scree and other Jinjue officers were placed under house arrest. That 30 million gold Krone's cash was also taken away, and the members of parliament who received the letter from the hawk are now very angry and are asking us to send troops to attack the capital ... "
Claude suddenly wanted to laugh. This was just a doze and a pillow. It was a good excuse for turning his face. But he didn't understand, why did Wang Dare dare to take such a big deal in the world and do such a mindless thing? Theoretically, neither King Frederick I nor Prime Minister Marquis Blanchard were dumb-minded. How could they be a fool to formulate a seal order, and on what basis did they believe that they would not be retaliated against by the overseas autonomous territory? ?
Take the three Guards, Red Dragons and Griffins, who have just been reorganized. They are still equipped with old-fashioned firearms. Even if combat effectiveness improves, it is not an opponent of any legion in the autonomous region at all. The Kingdom War Department should be very clear about this, but why have the courage to go under house arrest to meet the King's MPs and Jinjue officers? Are they not afraid that the situation in the kingdom that has just stabilized will be beaten again?
"Don't worry, tell me the whole thing," Crowder said.
In fact, the process of the matter is very simple. The King of the Kingdom of Ovilas has a tradition that the Dachao will be held on the 10th, 20th and 30th of each month. His Majesty the King and his wife will be with the King. Together with the ministers, they summarized and decided on the various official duties of the kingdom in the first ten days. In the ordinary days, the national affairs are handled by the Prime Minister's Conference of the Prime Minister, who also reports to Her Majesty the King at the Great Dynasty ...
At the Dachao meeting on November 10th a few days ago, Marshal Bolognik, General Scree, Speaker Bennett and Chairman Hendman also represented the parliament and military districts of the Overseas Dominion to attend the Dachao meeting. Then they bid farewell to His Majesty King Frederick I and Queen Christie at the Dachao meeting, saying that they were planning to leave the king the next day and return to the Overseas Dominion.
His Majesty the King was shocked and asked if they wanted hereditary clan territory to be gone? Speaker Bennett said the price was too high and they couldn't afford it, so it was not needed. Prime Minister Blanchard hurriedly told Marshal Bolonick and General Scrie that the two of them were promoted to hereditary nobility for their merit, and they could get hereditary family territory without paying any fees ...
But what made the court ministers present did not expect that Marshal Bolognik and General Scrie were in the presence of His Majesty the King, smiling and rejecting the hereditary family territories free of charge. They said that Marshal Claude, General Albert and General Beachklin had all made the same decision, and they would stand with all the members of the Overseas Autonomous Territory, Officer Jinjue, and Honorary Aristocrats of the Kingdom, or Everyone gets a piece of territory, or no one has it, to show that everyone in the overseas dominion is closely united.
It was said that the atmosphere at the court was very embarrassing, and then Queen Christie opened her mouth inappropriately. She said that if you do n’t have any money, I can lend it to you, so that you can get one for everyone. Hereditary clan territory.
Speaker Bennett stood out to refute that our overseas dominion was not without money, but we felt that the transaction was not cost-effective. For a hereditary family land, we have to pay the price of 500,000 kronor. So even if this hereditary family territory can make us 5,000 kroner in income a year, it will take us a hundred years to get back the money.
And this kind of gift is not fair to our overseas dominions. We have learned that almost all the kingdom aristocrats who have obtained the territories have discounts and discounts, and even free of charge. Especially the kingdom aristocrats who borrow from Her Majesty the Queen, they can get 50% to 40% discount. But for our overseas dominion, there is no discount at all, so we reject this unfair transaction ...
transaction? How dare you call Her Majesty's gift a bargain? Queen Christie's face almost crooked, and the presence of Her Majesty the King and the Prime Minister, as well as those of the King's Court, was also very bad.
This is indeed a transaction. Henderman also stood up. He said that we paid money to obtain hereditary clan territory from His Majesty the King. Is this not a transaction? The only difference is that the object of the transaction is the king, the commodity is land, and the name is Cifeng, which is nice in name, but the real essence is still a transaction. Just as a buyer, we don't think this transaction is cost-effective, so we refuse to buy ...
What a reason! Queen Christie is furious, no money is no money, a group of poor eggs, overseas soil buns, and only you, will the royal family's gift to you as cheap businessmen as a transaction! Letting you stand on this noble royal court is simply the greatest insult to the royal family, guards, kick out these cheap businessmen!
General Scree stood up and said rightly, Her Majesty, please don't forget, it is our group of overseas buns and cheap businessmen who prepaid the taxes and tribute of the Overseas Dominion for ten years at the critical moment of the kingdom's death Gold, so that the kingdom was sustained. It is also the two legions formed by our overseas soil buns that swept the entire eastern part of the continent and destroyed the kingdom's archenemy Nasri Kingdom, the Principality of Kanas, the Principality of Seedings, and the Principality of Rimodera. You and Your Majesty the King can return to the capital.
We humble merchants have completed the agreement with His Majesty the King, eliminated the Alliance Army, extended the kingdom's territory to the entire eastern region, and are now garrisoning the Kingdom's new occupation for free. We are indeed grateful for the grace the royal family has given us. So this time I came to Wangdu, we also brought a lot of sincerity, you can take a look on the balcony to see if we have no money ...
The palace hall of Wang Ting's deliberations is built on a stone mound, and there is a height difference of about five meters from the square below. The square is the place where the ministers who come to discuss the affairs wait, but today the sixty large iron-wood boxes brought by overseas autonomous congressmen occupy a large area. Standing next to each big iron box were four tall court guards. They were responsible for the safety of the king's court, and these big iron-wood boxes were locked again. They could not open the inspection and had to send someone to stand next to the box to guard them.
If Speaker Bennett is determined to move these large iron-wood boxes into the hall, they must first be opened for inspection by the royal court guards. However, it is no harm to put it on the square more than 20 meters away from the upper meeting hall. It's just that there are many ministers and servants in the palace watching the bustle around the square, and they are guessing what these big iron-wood boxes are loaded, so heavy ...
"It is said that those overseas buns were to be placed here for the king's sake, and I wonder if it was full of gold coins?" An attendant had already guessed the truth, but he did not know it.
Sure enough, his speculation was ridiculed and ridiculed by his companion: "Pull it down, how can it be filled with gold coins, and such a large box can hold hundreds of thousands of gold coins. How can those overseas soil buns be so rich, you see here there are Sixty big boxes. "
"I went to the treasury with my grown-up last time and saw that the iron boxes containing gold coins were twice as large as this. It is said that one million kronor can be loaded. But I have never seen a box full of gold coins. The bottom was covered with gold coins, and the banker reached into the iron box with a large iron spoon to retrieve the gold coins ... "said another lively attendant.
"Hey, you say, two or three soldiers can be hidden in such a large box. You said whether it was the overseas soil buns who wanted to rebel and hid the soldiers in these big boxes, ready to rush out to murder His Majesty the King and the Minister. Guys? "Guess has begun to go ridiculous.
At this moment, the side door of the parliament hall came out of the four representatives of the overseas dominion and several curious ministers. This side door comes out to a very large balcony. Sometimes several ministers will drink afternoon tea here and take a break in the warm sunshine. Standing on the balcony, you can clearly see the grass and trees in the square below ...
"Open the box!" General Scree on the balcony yelled.
At the edge of the square came five or six guards wearing brown-gray military uniforms in the Dominion Commanding Area, holding a series of keys in their hands. They came to the big iron-wood box while unlocking, and said to the guards standing next to them, "Brothers , I open the lid of the box and you all pay attention, don't be taken advantage of, otherwise you can't afford this responsibility ... "
A guard was trying to turn his lips back, but the guard with the key was unlocked, and the lid of the box was opened. Under the light of the midday sun, a brilliant golden light shone inside the box. The guard and his three companions were stunned for a moment, and then the exclamation from around them came to their ears: "Gold is all gold coins, all are gold crowns, my God, how much is this? Money! "
"It's not a box. All the opened boxes are all gold crowns! Oh my god! I'm not crazy! Are all the sixty large boxes filled with gold coins?"
Congratulations, you got it right, but unfortunately there is no reward ...
To be honest, it's not that the Minister of the Kingdom hasn't seen huge amounts of money. As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, the National Bank's exchange denominations of 10 million kronor denominations handled by the Marquis Blanchard are not two or two. It's just that the huge denomination coupons specially used for the turnover accounting of the various administrative departments of the Kingdom can feel as if they are taken lightly. It is nothing more than a few exaggerated papers, even if they are taken outside. Used by others as money ...
But now in the sixty large iron-wood boxes in the square below, they were all filled with glittering golden crowns. Under the sun, the whole square seemed to be shrouded in gold. Regardless of the king and queen watching from the balcony above, or the prime minister of the kingdom and those courtiers, even the spectators around the square and the guards of the palace are almost completely absorbed in this extremely charming golden light .. ....
"Slap! Slap!" Two clear claps sounded, and the guards standing on the edge of the square ran up again, this time they closed the boxes one by one and re-locked them. After the sixty large iron-wood boxes in the square were all covered again, we could still see the intoxicated expression on everyone's face and eyes.
"This is sixty large iron-wood boxes filled with King Krona. Each box is loaded with KRW 500,000 in cash, for a total of KRW 30 million." Speaker Bennett said: "This It is all the reserves in our overseas self-governing people's livelihood bank. We brought all these gold coins to show our sincerity.
Unfortunately, we did not expect that the so-called Jinjue fee and land selection fee would be so expensive. For us, it doesn't make much sense to get a hereditary family land at such a high price. The members of our overseas dominion are indeed born of cheap businessmen, but we, the businessmen, also have our own vision.
Maybe we will never be a noble kingdom aristocracy, but we all agree that instead of investing so much wealth in the acquisition of hereditary family territories, it is better to invest in overseas dominions, open more manufacturing workshops and build The purchase of an additional armored ship in a school is more meaningful than a hereditary family territory.
So, our two distinguished lords, we put these sixty large boxes full of gold coins on this square, please watch them, not to show our wealth, but to express our sincerity. It's just a pity that we can't reach an agreement. Tomorrow we will embark on the return journey, how do we get these big boxes and how do we have to carry them back ... "
After proudly putting up a score in front of everyone, four representatives of the Dominion, Speaker Bennett, Field Marshal Bolonick, President Hendman and General Scree, stepped forward and bowed back, then escorted the sixty A large box full of King Krona returned to the office of the Overseas Dominion in Wangdu.
"But that night, the palace guards seized all the members of the overseas dominion and officers of Jinjue by the order of Queen Christie, and even Marshal Bolonique was no exception. They were taken to the redstone castle in the court. Everyone knows that Redstone Castle is the prison dungeon in the royal palace. The excuses of the palace guards to come and arrest the MPs and Jinjue officers are that they are slandering the reputation of the king and queen behind their backs. "
General Abbott said in a letter from a hawk-eagle: "This is another message from the capital of Wangdu. The office of the defendant Wangdu in our overseas dominion has been closed. They were transported away by the palace guards. They should all be transported to the palace. "
"Councillors know the news?" Claude asked.
"Yes," General Abrent said with a bitter smile: "The members of the Dominion and the honorable nobles of the Kingdom who are staying here have already heard the news from the King, and they are so angry that they asked our two military regiments to send troops to the King immediately. Yes, but at this time, we received the autographed eagle message from His Majesty the King and the eagle message from the Prime Minister Marquis Blanchard.
The two of them said in the letter that this was just a misunderstanding, because the 30 million kronor carried by our lawmakers was exposed on the square, and the entire king already knew it. In order to ensure the personal safety of all personnel, they sent the palace guards to invite everyone into the palace overnight, and even the funds were transported over, mainly because they didn't want the younger generation to have the opportunity ... "
