Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

The soldier standing in the middle of the second row even cursed to his friend in a low voice:

"Is the Colonel out of his mind? It would be great if we could all be here to accompany him to practice here. Why are there so many demands from him?"

The friend on the side glanced at him, with a somewhat sarcastic sneer on his face:

"You don't understand this. There are people above Colonel Hamilton, and he is not from Xiaoqiu County. If the reception work is done this time, the envoy from Londinium will be able to transfer him away logically. He is not like It's us who can only stay in this small city for the rest of our lives."

"But actually, I think Xiaoqiu County is not bad. We don't lack money or women here. We have weapons and rights. We can do whatever we want." The soldier muttered in a low voice.The friend who obviously yearned for the big city on the side glared at him and retorted:

"That's why you haven't seen a big city! You haven't seen Londinium, you haven't even been to Dublin!"

Dublin, the former capital of the King of the North, was the second largest city in the empire.The soldier was shaken. He had never been to Londinium, nor had he been to Dublin. Hill County was just a small border city, and there was no parking area for aircraft, let alone passenger routes. stay.If he wanted to go to Londinium or Dublin, he could only go by land, and the expensive price of the land route was not something he, a local middle-class family, could afford.

"Stop whispering!"

Hamilton snarled and interrupted the soldiers who wanted to ask the "big city".The colonel gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, his cheeks twitched, and ordered mercilessly: "The two soldiers who spoke just now in the second row, stand up consciously, don't force me to drag you out!"

Hearing this, the soldier's friend turned his head in frustration, glared at him complainingly, and walked out of the crowd. The soldier also sighed helplessly, and followed him out of the crowd.

"Run ten laps around the training ground, no lunch at all without running."

Hamilton said the punishment with his eyes closed.Quickly said:

"Disband. Gather here after lunch, we have to rehearse again."

After speaking, he ignored the wailing of the disbanded soldiers and the ridicule of the two soldiers who ran to the training ground, turned around and left the training ground.

Xiaoqiu County Garrison Camp, Military Affairs Office.Hamilton leaned back in his chair, looking as if he had lost his dream.

Everyone else assumed that the arrival of the two envoys from Londinium would be a chance for Hamilton's promotion, but his father got a little wind from his old friend who is now the mayor of Londinium.The two special envoys this time are not here to present an award to Hamilton, they are here to hold them accountable!

Now that Victoria is flourishing, and the whole empire is in peace, Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness, inside and out, seem to have the momentum to bring Victoria back to the top again. At this moment, only the Tara riots occurred in Xiaoqiu County under his garrison.Generally speaking, this matter is not big or small, but in this golden age, it is a stain.It is a denial of his ability.If he doesn't give an explanation as soon as possible, let alone a promotion, I'm afraid he will be brought back to the military court in Lundinium due to the lack of suppression.

"Tara people, Tara people, why is this group of beasts always so troublesome?"

Rubbing his forehead in pain, Colonel Hamilton frowned, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and dialed an intercom call.

"Colonel, what's the matter?" A familiar voice came from the phone, and Hamilton felt relieved, and said:

"Adjutant, how is the investigation about the Tara association and the so-called ghost army going?"

The adjutant named Hill was silent for a moment, and the sound of flipping paper came from the phone. Soon, he replied:

"Reporting to the Colonel, the matter of the Tara association has been proven to be true, and according to our investigation, there is more than one association. There are more than ten Tara associations in the entire Xiaoqiu County, but we have not yet figured out which one." The association is their core. As for the ghost army, there is no evidence that such an army really exists. With all due respect, Colonel, I think this is just a non-existent rumor released by the Tara people. That group of inferiors The insects in the world hope to use this false rumor to confuse the public and make the great Victorian soldiers fall into the trap."

A somewhat shallow smile appeared on Hamilton's face, apparently the analysis by Adjutant Hill was in line with his wishes.But he still reminded: "The great Victorian soldiers will not be afraid of so-called ghost troops, whether they really exist or not, and we will not throw a mouse at them."

Adjutant Hill immediately echoed: "Yes, the soldiers of the empire are always brave!"

Hamilton nodded, paused, and suddenly changed the subject: "Hill, this afternoon's mission is temporarily suspended, you come back."

"Huh? But Colonel, the question of secret societies remains..."

Hamilton said confidently: "As long as I'm here, the Tara people can't make trouble. You are my subordinate. I plan to take you to meet the special envoy from Londinium in the afternoon. Be good."

"Thank you so much, Colonel!" Hill exclaimed, but Hamilton didn't listen to his flattery. He put down the phone receiver and took a deep breath.

The issue of the secret association of the Tara people is of course important, but Hamilton has already figured out a solution - to investigate step by step, and then behead their heads, which is too much trouble.The crisis brought to him by the Tara riots this time has already reminded him that these inferior people are not worthy of my patience with them. After beheading a leader, it won't be long before there will be others from them. Leader, only by taking them all down with a heavy blow can we completely solve the troubles of the Tara people and give Londinium a satisfactory answer to prevent future troubles!

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone again and dialed the second number.

"Colonel, this is the Artillery Battalion of the Xiaoqiu County Garrison. What are your orders?"

"How is the making of the origin stone bomb?"

"The process has slowed down recently, because of the relationship with the special envoy of Lentinium, the inspection of goods and personnel entering and leaving the city has been very strict recently."

"It's good to be vigilant. I'll give you a week's grace. After the special envoy leaves, we have to act as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

PS: I changed the previous chapter according to the suggestion given by the shadow wanderer, and it should be clear now.

The next chapter enters a new volume—Victoria II: The Lion and the Red Dragon.Some people think that I can write a lot of things. If I want to write this book, I may not finish it in my lifetime. It is not a problem to write 500 million.Not even talking about originality, even if I copied the new event "Long Night's Light", I can write another Casimir volume with hundreds of thousands of words, and put all the commercial associations on the street.This is an endless story.

But the outline of this book was made when I put the testimonials on the shelf. It started from Victoria, Columbia, Ursus Longmen, and ended in Victoria. I didn't include the turbulent heart Titi who exploded on the anniversary, or the long night's glory knight, which is now the [-]th anniversary of the Ark plot, which was revealed.That's why there is such a complete, logically coherent, and smooth overall story, with no layers, no fragmentation, and no abruptness.I will always maintain this principle. I will not change the outline, and I cannot change it. This is for the reading experience of all readers.

Chapter 1 First Christmas in Wien, 1092 December 12

December 1092, 12 in the Terran calendar, Christmas Day in Lateran.

Originating from the ancient books owned by Lateran and the date of the birth of "God" recorded in the Bible, along with the expansion of Lateran religion on the earth, it has gradually grown from a local festival to a worldwide festival.

But Christmas Day at the end of 1092 was not as peaceful as in previous years.

In Longmen, Wei Yanwu, the orthodox heir to the throne of Dayan, officially issued a statement on Jingnan, announcing that "state-owned treacherous ministers, raise troops to fight against rebellion, raise troops to calm Nan, and obey the fate of heaven." The three provinces in the northwest of Dayan responded, and a small-scale uprising broke out in the southeast. .It is said that the Lateran Catholic Church has been active during this period of time. According to rumors, it seems that they are behind all these incidents.But exactly where Wei Yanwu got the courage to launch a rebellion against the 300-year-old stable and prosperous Yan, all the reasons are still unknown.

The Colombian civil war is coming to an end. During the war, homeless workers and soldiers are gradually being absorbed. The increasingly powerful Colombian Workers' Union finally makes life and death. The Colombian Federation and the Colombian military government are aware of the seriousness of the problem. Fang was no longer able to fight against the Federation of Trade Unions on his own. Under the pressure of the Federation of Trade Unions, they finally understood that if the two of them continued to fight in this way, they would either change their minds in the psychological sense or be killed in the physical sense. landing.Only in Lexington State, which is of special significance to Columbia [the first state of the founding of the country], an alliance ceremony was held, announcing the formal formation of the Colombian National Federation to fight against the trade unions.

The Ursas Empire officially started the first batch of nationalization reforms. After learning from the example of Victoria and the Duchy of Koscie as a pilot area, Fyodor finally overcame all difficulties. Started his own road of copying and copying.In view of the fact that the jewels of Kosiche's rebellion were in front of him, and the head was still hanging to dry on the top of the church tower of St. Junburg, the nobles died down for a while, and it was rare that they did not have any objection to Fyodor's actions.

As the lighthouse of Terra civilization today, the thriving Victoria has undoubtedly become the envy and learning object of countless countries. However, as the actual power holder and talker of Victoria, Wayne still has a lingering haze in his heart.Knoll County is located in the northern border of Victoria, and the northern border was once a territory belonging to his cheap father, the King of the North. After the King of the North launched the Rose War to seize the throne and transferred the ruling center to Londinium, Dublin The rulers of the country have changed one after another, but in fact, the control behind the scenes has always been the Northern King's Party.

The King's Party in the Northern Territory, this familiar term has not appeared in Wayne's vision for a long, long time.Since Wei Na crowned the new king and dissolved the parliament on the grounds of reorganizing the cabinet, the Northern King's Party has basically disappeared. Wien's own brother party, headed by Marshal Ernest and [The Bell Ringer] Winster, controls the new As a symbol of Victoria, Vina has appeared on various international diplomatic occasions and made irregular TV speeches, becoming the spokesperson of Victoria's image.

Now, who is in control in Dublin?

Wayne once ignored this problem, but the inexplicable riots in Hill County reminded him that Victoria is not monolithic, and there is still a force within this huge empire-Draco's Deep Pool!If as expected, the current actual controller of Dublin should be the last member of the Northern King's Party—the adopted daughter of the Northern King, Wei Cao.In other words, her sister, who is almost exactly the same as Weicao, is the leader of the Drake Restoration Movement and Shenchi——Celtic.

The former rulers of Victoria never gave up their claim to the empire. The compromise of the sacred covenant gave them too many unnecessary expectations. The abolition bill has reached a historical point that has to be done.Wayne repeatedly laid out the layout and found all kinds of evidence. To handle this matter decently, without leaking any leaks, and beyond doubt, now, everything is ready, and the only thing we owe is Dongfeng!

Wayne looked at the calendar, stretched out his hand, and took off this year's calendar.

1092 has entered the countdown, and there are still 6 days left, and the history of Terra will enter the brand new year 1093.Venn finally set his sights on January 1093, 1.At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane will be renewed. At this time, he will ask Vina to formally act as Queen Victoria, together with "The Last Draco" Tallulah, in the New Year's speech to the whole empire and even Terra, Announcing the abolition of the treaty, Drake renounced the right of succession!

This will be a farewell to the old era. The earth bids farewell to the turbulent and suffering 1092, Victoria bids farewell to the unstable era of red dragons and lions, and Wayne bids farewell to the limits of all the plots he knows as a traveler. Officially walk on the land of Terra as an ordinary person.

"It's going to be a fresh start."

Looking at the flamboyant pattern on the new calendar, Wayne happily hung her on the wall of the entertainment hall of the palace.

"What are you still looking at?" Wei Na asked with a vague voice while walking with a lollipop in her mouth, "Calendar? What's there to see?"

Wayne reached out and rubbed Wei Na's hair. Wei Na cared a lot about this long hair, keeping it fluffy and smooth: "You're going to be on TV in five days, isn't it good?"

Wei Na wanted to stop her brother who was acting wild on her head, but after thinking about it, the raised hand still only maintained a strategic deterrent, but she never pressed it down.

She glanced at Wayne, and muttered with dissatisfaction:

"You didn't think it looked good when I was at home, but you thought it looked good when I was on TV?"

Naturally, Wayne heard Wei Na's little complaint, so he could only laugh and wisely didn't answer.There is no way, Wei Na usually goes to work at home or on the way to work, the royal family is just the two of them, if one travels all day, there must be one who is working hard.If both of them have fished, who will manage the huge Victorian Empire?However, having said that, it seems that Wei Na has a lot of resentment towards Wei En fishing all day long.

Play stupid at this time.jpg

Seeing Wei En's clever smile, Wei Na pursed her lips and sighed in relief:

"Forget it, let's not talk about work today, brother. We have turkey today."

Wayne nodded: "Okay."

He glanced at Teresia who was standing in front of the dining table and was helping to arrange the dishes, Chen who was sitting on a chair constantly refreshing the latest news of Longmen, and Shi Huaiya who was opening the bottle with Lin Yuxia with champagne, feeling a little bit in his heart. It settled down a bit.

To estimate the time, tomorrow will be the third day since the special envoy arrived in Xiaoqiu County, and the first investigation report will arrive at the desk of the Queen's office tomorrow morning without accident.

Tonight, enjoy your first Christmas on Terra!

Chapter 2 The Londinium Mission

时间到回到三天前。1092年12月22日。15：26 p.m。

The Knoll County incident investigation team composed of the special envoy of the Londinium government, Sir Weinert, and the military special envoy, Colonel Kanter, officially arrived at the garrison on the outskirts of Knoll County.

Sir Wenat is a well-known new aristocrat in Londinium. The family was originally an old aristocrat who relied on land and servants to continue, but in his generation, facing the tide of industrialization in Victoria, he did not sit still like other land aristocrats. Going against the trend, he resolutely sold two-thirds of the land and servants in the family, and resolutely invested all the money in the construction of factories in his hometown. An example of the perfect transformation of the aristocrats into the new aristocracy of capital.

The reason why Mayor Arthur chose him is very simple, because he has both the status of a new nobleman and the background of an old nobleman. He is also considered courageous, decisive and calm, and meets the requirements of His Royal Highness Wayne as an "excellent representative" condition.

The military representative with him, Colonel Kanter, was a talented talent discovered by Ernest in the army during this period of time.Kantor Valente graduated from the Royal Military Academy of Victoria. As Wayne once said, the students who graduate from the Royal Military Academy are all Victoria’s rising stars. If they join the army, they can even skip the soldiers and start directly as non-commissioned officers.But even among that group of proud sons of heaven, Colonel Kantor is the most dazzling star.He graduated perfectly with A's in all his graduation thesis from the college period to the end.When I came to the army, I didn't make the mistake of being an ivory tower in an academic school, and I was excellent in every aspect.

Ernest once commented on him, if it was the war years, he might become the youngest general in Victoria's history.

However, it is a pity that Victoria is now in peace.The haze of war seems to have dissipated in the hearts of Victorian citizens, and without military merit, soldiers can only get promoted through seniority.Ernest didn't want this talent to be submerged in a long time again, so he entrusted him with the mission of this emissary, hoping that he would perform well and try to attract His Royal Highness Wayne and the Queen who paid special attention to this matter. His Majesty noticed him.

The welcome ceremony held by Colonel Hamilton can only be described as simple and boring. The appearance of a group of soldiers who couldn't even hold the imitation ceremony guns made Colonel Kantor frown.He cast his eyes on Sir Weinert, who was on the side, but found that Sir Weinert looked interested, and couldn't help frowning even deeper:

"Sir, don't forget our job."

Sir Weinert glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze, and replied nonchalantly:

"Of course I know, no need to remind."

Colonel Kantor opened his mouth, wanting to ask: Since you know, do you still enjoy watching this weird performance?

But he didn't get angry with his colleague of the same level, but got up directly, patted Colonel Hamilton on the side, and said coldly:

"Make them stop."

Colonel Hamilton was stunned for a moment, and blinked in embarrassment:

"what?"

"Tell them to stop!" Colonel Kantor snapped again.Sir Weinert on the side pulled his arm and shook his head.But the expression on Colonel Kantor's face was not the slightest bit relaxed. He pointed at the so-called "Xiaoqiu County local dance" soldiers on the drill ground and the "folk band" they found temporarily, and sneered:

"Don't let me say it a third time, this kind of thing is desecrating the dignity of soldiers. The soldiers in Victoria should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, or stand on the border to protect the country. Just dance this funny dance , to dance so badly."

Colonel Kantor pouted,

"I've seen enough, we still have things to do, now take me to check the entry and exit records of the garrison, and your records about the Hill County riot."

Hamilton lowered his head, nodded twitchingly at the corner of his mouth and said:

"Go right away, my lord envoy."

He waved his hand, summoned Adjutant Hill who was not far away, and said:

"Take Envoy Kanter to the barracks."

"Understood." Adjutant Hill gave a military salute, turned sideways to show Kanter the way, "Go this way, Mr. Special Envoy."

Seeing the figures of the two leaving, Hamilton gritted his teeth and sat down again. The performance on the stage was not affected by the unexpected incident just now. The dancing soldiers had already stepped down, and a group of Tara people were frowning. Walking onto the stage, holding a flute, trumpet, violin, and even a big harp, the stage announcer announced that the next program was "Song of the Highland" performed by the local Tara settlement.

Just when Hamilton was frowning because Kanter left with no face at all, Sir Weinert, who was still on the side, took the initiative to say:

""Song of the Highlands", also known as "Song of Dublin" or "Song of the Deep Pool". It is a city song written by the late Emperor when he was still the King of the North. It is used to commemorate the glorious Victoria under his rule. The second largest city - Dublin, the city of the Highlands. Does Mr. Hamilton know that the song is also called "Song of the Deep Pool" because Dublin is also called a lake surrounded by reeds in Tara The city on the edge is the original meaning of the deep pool."

Hamilton didn't expect that Sir Weinert would take the initiative to talk to him, but he started chatting about historical allusions and scratched his head with some doubts:

"Sorry, I really don't know this allusion." He paused, and asked a little puzzled, "But, why did His Majesty the late emperor use the name "Song of the Deep Pool"? The Tara people have always caused us trouble. Little trouble."

Sir Weinert turned his head and patted Hamilton on the shoulder. Instead of answering Hamilton's question immediately, he shook his head in relief and explained:

"Colonel Kanter is an academic. His mentor is Marshal Ernest. There are people behind him, so his actions are naturally less important. Please don't pay attention to what happened just now."

Hamilton waved his hand in flattery: "My lord special envoy is serious. Mr. Kantor attaches great importance to the tasks assigned by His Royal Highness, and it is a matter of course. I can understand."

"It's good if you can understand. If you have something to tell me, if he is too outrageous, I will help you stop him. After all, we are just temporary envoys, and you Colonel Hamilton is Xiaoqiu." The leader of the county garrison. Only by helping each other can we serve Her Majesty well, can't we?"

Sir Weinert patted Hamilton on the back, and the bright smile on his wrinkled face seemed to say, work hard, young man, I like you.

After getting close, Weinert explained:

"As for why His Majesty the First Emperor chose to compose such a song when he was guarding the northern border, well... Let me tell you a secret. This song was not originally made for the city of Dublin. According to legend, the late Emperor There was once an adopted daughter, and this song was a birthday present for his adopted daughter. As for why this song became the song of Dublin in the future, and where did the adopted daughter go..."

Sir Weinert was silent for a moment, then pointed to the top of his head. Hamilton knew that it was not referring to the ceiling, but referring to certain adults.

"That may only be known by His Majesty the Prince and His Majesty the Queen."

Hamilton's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Then...the adopted daughter of the late emperor is from Tara?"

Weinert quickly covered Hamilton's mouth, made a shush gesture around his mouth, shook his head seriously, and warned: "Don't dare to talk nonsense. But, Colonel Hamilton, think about why His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Are you so concerned about this matter? He is the son of the King of the North."

Hamilton nodded thoughtfully.

...............

At night, the garrison camp and the envoy's residence.

The envoys of Londinium temporarily lived in a small three-story building in the camp. The security of the envoys was in charge of the accompanying soldiers. The Xiaoqiu County garrison was prohibited from approaching this area on the grounds that "His Royal Highness There is an order to ensure the independence of the diplomatic missions."

Sir Weinert sat on a chair in the conference hall early. There were only two special envoys. He occupied the upper seat of the long table in the center of the huge conference hall by himself, waiting for the return of his colleagues.

About 10 minutes later, the nine o'clock hour hand was officially aligned.Kantor pushed the door in during the calibration, his face a little gloomy.

"It seems that there is nothing to gain?" Weinert said lightly, "Or, is there too much gain?"
