I will be crowned king

“November 10, 101 in the Saint’s Calendar, sunny.

Although there is still some cacophony of noise, such as that of the Harold Foundation, day-to-day operations in Beluga Harbor are finally back on track.

Relying on the wise guidance of Lord Anson Bach and the cooperation of all parties, various reforms are in the process of being brewed. The guiding principles are no longer what they used to be. A new concept of development has been established. The social structure has made great progress, and the geopolitical landscape has also changed. A new look.

As an unworthy and humble clerk, I (Alan Dawn) feel deeply saddened by the ignorance of those who cannot see Lord Anson's achievements.

Their shallow wisdom obviously cannot understand what the friendly relationship between the Free Confederacy and White Whale Harbor means, what impact the New World Company will have on the colony, the extent to which the emergence of the Shooting Army will save the pioneering movement that is about to end, and the native How important and irreplaceable support is to Ice Dragon Fjord.

They don't understand, they can only think of themselves.

Even though these people were so selfish, Lord Anson Bach still did not give up their plans and actively tried to cooperate with them to jointly build the promised land of Ice Dragon Fjord.

The most important issue at the moment is the upcoming local envoys and the Roland family's business negotiators.

In my short working life and the promising future of my career, "entertaining guests" is the most important and most severe test of all jobs.

It seems simple, but in fact, it is murderous at every step... You must let the other party see your strength and build confidence, but you must not overestimate it so that you cannot get off the stage; you must make your guests feel at home, but you must not overstep and become the leader of all this. .

Of course, with sufficient preparation, a perfect plan and methodical executors, most problems can actually be solved at the beginning.

But when there is more than one guest, or more than one group of people, the problem becomes more difficult.

The pinnacle of this difficulty is preparing a table of meals, but two groups of guests came..."

………………………

“On behalf of all the people of Beluga Port and Ice Dragon Fjord, I would like to extend my most sincere blessings to His Majesty Carlos, Governor Sophia Franz, and all the Lords of the Privy Council. May the Ring of Order protect the Osterian royal family. The country will last forever!"

At the port of Beluga Harbor, Anson, with a smile on his face, held the round hands of Baron Akers with great kindness. He treated this nominal "Governor's Messenger" from the inside out, but in fact, he was filled with unparalleled sincerity as a royal mission.

With a towering silk top hat, a tight-fitting black tuxedo, sparse hair and a head with no visible neck or eyes, at first glance it looks like a snowman with legs - it can be called the most standard appearance of an upper-class Clovis person.

Behind him there were several middle-aged men dressed similarly, who were so fat that it was difficult to even open their eyes, and who needed the support of a cane to walk. They formed this "envoy group" surrounded by a group of royal navy.

"No, no, the Commander-in-Chief is too polite." Baron Akers, who was holding a pipe, responded enthusiastically, with two, one, and three irregular crescents on his face:

"It is truly an honor for me to receive your warm welcome and see with my own eyes the hero who defeated fifty thousand imperial troops and single-handedly promoted the establishment of the Free Confederacy!"

Oh, fifty thousand?

The total counter-rebellion army under Bernard Morweis is less than 10,000 people. Even if the servant army he recruited later, together with the rebels in Sail City, are added up, it is less than 20,000.

Where did the remaining 30,000 "ghost warriors" come from?

Seeing the expression of Baron Akers that didn't seem to be deliberately flattering, Anson's smile froze slightly, and he glanced at William Cecil in the envoy behind Baron Akers from the corner of his eye.

Compared with the others, this naval colonel, who has the lowest position and the youngest age in the mission, simply does not belong to the same species; his tall and straight body, set off by a dark blue double-breasted trench coat, makes him look even more slender and tall, which can be called Stand out from the crowd—literally.

Feeling a familiar sight, the expressionless William Cecil felt his body tremble for a while, and then silently turned his attention in another direction.

Then Anson understood everything.

He was not completely ignorant of some of the "rumors" about himself in Clovis City and the flourishing media career of a certain governor-general; in order to attract more investment for the storm division and expand his influence, he ensured that Will be ignored by the army, and the entire Hantu War period will almost blow the Storm Division into the sky.

Now that she has become the governor of the colony - although it is honorary - she has become her subordinate - in name only - a little more to magnify the Stormtrooper's contribution to the colony, to describe the situation a little more dangerous, and then to It's understandable that the number of enemies would increase a little...

But expanding the number from 10,000 to 50,000 would be a bit exaggerated... Anson suddenly had some bad premonitions.

While he was uneasy, Baron Akers in front of him patted his fat belly: "Not only has he achieved admirable achievements on the battlefield, but it has also greatly promoted the development of the colonial economy. It is really It is a great achievement!"

"I heard about the changes in the colony from Governor Franz when I set out, and learned a lot from Colonel Cecil along the way, but I was still shocked after seeing it with my own eyes. I never expected the new changes in the ice and snow. The world can be so prosperous."

"It seems that the decision of the royal family and the Privy Council is indeed a good one. It is an extremely correct decision to assign you to the colony; only a young officer like you who is full of energy and ideas and loyal to the royal family can give the already precarious colony a new look!"

"No, no, no... you are really flattering." Ansen said with a smile: "I am just following the king's orders and completing my mission to the best of my ability with the strong support of the local people."

The other party's excessive enthusiasm made him a little overwhelmed. He really didn't understand how this Baron Aix, whom he met for the first time, had so much favorable impression of him.

Logically speaking, since the other party is coming on behalf of the royal family, he should remain quite decent even if he wants to "appease" himself, and he will never be so polite.

"On the contrary, I feel that the local people care very little about you, or even not at all." Baron Akers' face was straight, and his expression suddenly became more serious:

"Although this may touch the interests of some people, I still want to say - those evil bugs in the Army have treated you and the Storm Division so unfairly!"

Um?

Seeing the righteous words of this "Governor's Messenger", not only Anson, but also the Storm Division officers who came to greet him were all stunned, completely confused as to what he was going to do.

Baron Akers didn't seem to notice the expressions of everyone, and continued to talk: "Conquer Hantu, resist the expeditionary force, save the Elf Kingdom of Iser... You, and the officers of the entire Storm Division have done this. With so many contributions, he almost single-handedly changed the geographical relationship in the entire southwest of the kingdom and reversed the entire war situation."

"To put it bluntly, if this kind of achievement were performed by any rich blood relative, it would be enough to easily obtain the rank of brigadier general or even major general! And you...to this day, you are still just a colonel, and there are all outstanding young talents. Their highest rank is no more than a lieutenant colonel or even a major, but their achievements are enough to put many lieutenant generals on the Western Front battlefield to shame!"

"Failure to reward according to merit and meritocracy is the biggest shame of Clovis, who founded his country based on the army!" Baron Aix spat out his saliva and pointed to the country:

"When I was in the Privy Council, I repeatedly proposed to the Army that we should send reinforcements to the colonies; at the very least, we should support some baggage ordnance, replenish soldiers, etc... But I was repeatedly blocked by the army's bugs!"

"The situation on the mainland is more severe, the colonies only need to maintain the status quo, and the military strength of 5,000 is the limit... It's all rejection! They just don't want to see you and see you establish greater and more remarkable achievements, so that They lost face in front of the royal family - you think so!"

"Yes, those army generals on the staff are all jealous of the talented and capable!"

"Compared with the interests of the royal family and the country, those scum only care about their own power!"

"Yes, yes... I have suggested many times to reorganize the army and promote more young officers from lower-class backgrounds!"

...Under the strong encouragement of Baron Akers, members of the envoys also began to curse and accuse the Army. The Storm Division officers present were both excited and frightened. They didn’t know what these people wanted to do. .

Ansen had no choice but to laugh along the whole time and try not to say more than a few words to avoid being caught by the opponent's tricks.

After a hearty "Army Criticism Conference" that lasted for almost ninety minutes, Baron Akers, who seemed to be tired, was finally not so excited. Surrounded by a corps of officers and a group of envoys, the court had already Walk to the prepared banquet site.

Anson, whose face was completely stiff, was finally able to relax a little. He found an opportunity to stop William Cecil who was following the crowd, and deliberately walked at the end of the team.

"What exactly is going on?"

Regarding this already familiar naval captain, Anson went straight to the point: "Isn't he sent by the royal family and the Privy Council to supervise the Storm Division and colonial taxation... What exactly does he want to do?"

"I don't know." William Cecil looked innocent: "I was just ordered to send them here from North Port to ensure their safety... Maybe I hope to get closer to you, the actual leader of the colony? "

"You really don't know?" Anson raised his eyebrows.

"real!"

"Haven't you heard even a little bit of wind?"

"No!"

"It took more than a month from Beigang to Ice Dragon Fjord, and you didn't even hear about their private conversations?"

"No, I'm not good at this!" William vowed:

"It's absolutely true, I swear to the Ring of Order."

Anson raised his head, faced his eyes that were also full of sincerity, and fell into silence.

After a long time, he shook his head again and sighed as if he finally gave up:

"Well, since even you don't know, it seems that the Cecil family does not intend to participate in colonial affairs this time, so I can only..."

"Wait a moment!"

William quickly spoke to steal, his expression still so sincere: "I seem to have remembered something!"

"real?"

"real!"

"Isn't it a mistake to remember?"

"Absolutely not!"

"But I remember that you are not good at this. Could it be that you were deceived by them?"

"I……"

The naval captain was suddenly speechless. He pursed his lips with a slightly helpless expression: "You just want to hear me apologize to you, right?"

"No way...how is it possible? We are friends." The corners of Anson's mouth began to rise slightly:

"Friends won't lie or hide from each other, right?"

"yes……"

William rolled his eyes helplessly: "But you have to promise not to reveal it, let alone let them find out that I told you - leaking secrets in private is comparable to treason in the eyes of the Privy Council!"

"Don't worry, absolutely not." Anson waved his hand, his expression becoming more playful: "I will let them believe that I know it from other channels."

The corners of the navy colonel's mouth twitched, and his mood was extremely complicated.

"The reason why the envoys...or Baron Akers is so enthusiastic is actually very simple, it is because of the ownership issue of the legendary coal bank." William said helplessly:

"If nothing else happens, this bank will soon bear the title of royal family."

"Royal family?" Anson looked startled:

"Isn't this a joint-stock bank? Moreover, it was launched by Sophia Franz in the name of the Governor of Ice Dragon Fjord. What does it have to do with the royal family?"

"It's simple, because it can really make money." William shrugged:

"In the beginning, it was true that only ordinary wealthy businessmen and wealthy families from Clovis City participated, but our Governor Sophia is so powerful that she even attracted investment from the Northern Chamber of Commerce - of course you must already know this."

"This incident caused quite a stir in Clovis City. In addition, the Luen family has taken over the colony. You defeated the empire's '50,000 army' and turned the colony into the Free Confederacy... Since it is so It can make money, and the colony seems to be temporarily safe now, so the royal family is ready to take this bank under its control.”

"If nothing else, Baron Akers is the first royally appointed bank chief. He will be your nominally equal colleague in the future and will be responsible for taxation and trade in the colony... Why do you think he wants to please you? ?”

"What?!"

Anson, who looked stunned, was about to say something when a rapid bell suddenly rang over the port.

The two people who stopped at the same time subconsciously looked behind them and saw several gorgeous multi-masted sailboats suddenly appeared on the blue sea, heading towards Beluga Port.

The sails swelled in the wind were also painted with a golden fleur-de-lis symbol.
