Public trial?You deserve it too!

The finance minister eagerly put forward his advice. He is indeed a good hand at making money, but you can't do it if you ask him to make money from the void. , he had to make an admonition even if he had to bite the bullet.

"Of course I know about this, so I didn't say to go to war immediately, otherwise wouldn't the previous actions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs be meaningless?"

The emperor laughed.

"From now on, you are going to raise armaments and supplies for me. The first thing to do is to fully activate the armory and shipyard in the Jutland peninsula."

Albert froze for a moment, then looked at the map.

"Actually, there is also a reserve like this in Catalonia. From manpower to timber to infrastructure, it is prepared for the Anton Fleet. It's a pity...they are so disappointing that they were actually infiltrated by the Theocracy. Sieve! As soon as I mention these words, my blood pressure goes up!"

The old emperor had an expression of hatred for him.

"...Your Majesty, if it is to raise materials, it can be done. The wood preparation process required for shipbuilding will take at least three years. But if you want to start large-scale manufacturing of warships after three years, you will need a lot of money. For the investment, at least the current financial revenue of the empire, three years may not be enough time to prepare for such an additional investment.”

Albert quickly calculated the approximate cost in his mind. If he was just preparing to build a ship, he would be able to squeeze it out, but because war requires a variety of materials, from the most basic metals, wood, grain, etc., to war horses Biological losses such as horses and draft horses must be stored in advance.

If we consider the shortage of labor force caused by the enlistment and the logistics of civilian husbands, which led to the double sharp drop in the empire's finances and food production after the war, the conclusion is that this big hole will never be prepared in three years no matter what. .

"It doesn't matter, the royal family's private treasury, you can use it at will. The purchase of materials is mainly from the domestic nobles. If there are materials at a suitable price in the business alliance, it doesn't matter to buy them. It is based on the excuse of annihilating the orcs. , The Theocracy should think that I have been duped, and will give me a lot of assistance if I don’t mind.”

There was a sneer on the corner of the emperor's mouth, obviously he had considered this issue, he naturally knew how many things would be burned in an all-out war.

Albert hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.He could see that the old emperor had made up his mind, but his teacher had no intention of dissuading him. It seemed that this matter could not be stopped.

In this case, I have to do my best!

"Three years of timber reserves, plus the launch time of the ship, this war will start in five years at the earliest. You should first make a plan according to this timeline."

The emperor signaled to Albert that he could leave. Although the young chief financial officer wanted to stay and listen, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he could only bow and resign.

Only the Prime Minister of Lauenburg and Nicholas, the director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, remained in the study.

"Albert will not let me down. What we have to do now is to deal with the domestic political situation before the official launch. The thing I hate the most is being stabbed in the back!"

The emperor's voice became cold, and he looked at Nicholas: "Augustus, has there been no change?"

"No, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Augustus is still adopting a wooing stance towards the nobles. And - we have discovered that His Royal Highness Augustus's caravan is doing business with the merchant alliance."

Nicholas lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the emperor's next reaction

"Do business with the Chamber of Commerce?"

There was an inexplicable playfulness in the old emperor's tone.

"Yes, because of your order before, the intelligence network of the Sixth Office was fully activated, and when the other party began to spread the news, the three offices in charge of the country also strengthened the supervision of the two cities of Hamburg and Lübeck. Some... 'traces'."

Nicholas' voice didn't fluctuate.

"The caravan of His Royal Highness Augustus has been in close contact with a chamber of commerce in Lübeck since last year, and has exchanged a lot of funds and goods. The leader is Gutenberg Barr, who is also in charge of His Highness's overall finances. "

"When was last year?"

"Just...just after the victory in countering the rebellion in the province of Provence."

After Nicholas finished speaking, there was no sound in the entire hall, and even Lauenburg opened his mouth in shock.

"I was still wondering why Augustus completely eliminated the loss of Provence province without making any changes. Even after Ludwig made his position clear, he was able to win over those forced to elect The small and medium-sized nobles around—it turned out that it was because they had a side job."

The emperor's voice suddenly realized that there was a hint of teasing, but obviously the two courtiers who had been with the emperor for a long time knew that this was just a superficial illusion.

"Gutenberg, that little guy who Albert commented that he could catch up with him, but chose to go astray?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This time it was Lauenburg who answered.

"Then do you think Leicht knew about this, or was it really concealed?" the emperor asked his prime minister.

"..."

The old man was silent. Of course he knew Leichter's level. They have been friends for decades, and he would not be mistaken for his character and ability, but this time, he really didn't dare to make a judgment.

"Go and tell Siegfried, let him check it out for me, and check it out."

The emperor's voice was very soft, but it made Nicholas tremble. He immediately bowed to receive the order, and then ran away immediately.

Lauenburg was now alone in the study.

"I... am very disappointed."

The old emperor closed his eyes wearily.

"Director Nicholas' investigation report hasn't come out yet. Perhaps all of this is just Gutenberg's own assertion. After all, things like business have always been looked down upon."

Lauenburg is pale and weak, and comfort is obviously not going to help

"I'm not the kind of person who needs to listen to unrealistic dream talk from others to get comfort." The old emperor didn't open his eyes, his tone remained flat, "I'm just really disappointed, Leicht's ability, You and I both know that he is probably aware of the problem and is naively waiting for Augustus to give him a reasonable answer."

Lauenburg stopped talking, he already realized that the emperor was now in the calm before the storm, so he closed his eyes, pretending that he was a wooden man, giving a pair of ears to listen to the old emperor's impending roar.

"You know, I wasn't the eldest son of the emperor back then, nor was he the emperor's favorite child, but he still chose me in the end. I finally asked my father, who was already bedridden, why he chose me in the end, and he just smiled and touched me. Touched my head, drove all the others out, and told me the plan."

"To this day, I can still recall how calm my father's expression and tone was back then, and how dumbfounded I was when I saw this decisive battle plan back then."

The emperor opened his eyes and looked at the elegantly painted ceiling of the study.

"That is a plan that has been left over since the founding of the empire. From the Karelian fortress in the north, to the Volga Meat Grinder battlefield on the eastern front, to the pretentiously weak two-ocean navy, and the concealed newly built ships The base is just a part of this plan. The ultimate goal is to allow the empire to completely conquer the entire continent and make humans the only intelligent creatures in this world!"

"Everyone who sees this plan, the first reaction is only to be shocked by the grandeur of this plan, followed by trembling at this ambition, and in the end, all thoughts will be turned into lofty respect and—— A greedy desire."

Lauenburg nodded subconsciously. In fact, the emperor only told him the tip of the iceberg of the whole plan at the beginning, but even so, his entire heart had been conquered, and then he let go of the original plan that was the same as Jung's without complaint or regret. Prejudice has become the lubricant between the emperor and the nobles for decades.

The scary thing about this plan is not only its control over time and space, but more importantly, its control over people's hearts-no one can refuse such a plan, especially when more and more steps are taken. After it is proven feasible, even the most cautious people will be overwhelmed by this vision of success, and the ambitions and desires hidden in their hearts will flourish as a result. Terrible ambitions and desires!

It's hard to imagine the person who prepared this plan, standing at the qi point of the long river of history, how far downriver he looked downstream to make such a thousand-year decisive battle.It is like a contract written by the devil, using the human heart as a lubricant to subdue one emperor after another. No matter what kind of people they were before they took the throne, after knowing this plan, they all bowed their heads willingly to it , and pay everything for it.

Because they know that all of this is for a greater victory.They endured the temptation to start the final battle, and entrusted this expectation to the next emperor, and then day after day, year after year, they accumulated every condition for that war.

The same is true for the majesty in front of me. If there is no such disaster, he will still wait for one of his princes to inherit this plan, and then sleep peacefully forever, waiting for the last one in the tomb like all the previous emperors. victory.

"In fact, I have the greatest hope for this eldest son. Jung didn't want to make false claims with the nobles, so he formally asked me to resign and leave. In the end, he probably joined Ludwig's command because of his like-mindedness. And Joa Sim, he has been like that since he was a child, if I send him a teacher, I will restrain his hands and feet, and I am afraid he will kick him away in the end."

"There is only Leicht, he is the only teacher that I take the initiative to send to my son, I hope he can become the next you, and together with Augustus, achieve another period of imperial prosperity - but what did the two of them do !"

From within the emperor's pupils, flames of anger gushed out.

"A dog who cares about every detail, takes his own interests as the standard in everything, and never looks at problems from the height he should be at!"

"A slow, foolish and loyal person who has no opinion, always thinks that the loyalty of his subjects can be exchanged for the understanding of the lord, but he forgot that he is not a subject of Augustus - he is my subject! He was sent by me The teacher who set things right for Augustus!"

"I gave him the opportunity to win over the nobles. He really thinks that these people are his best helpers to the throne? Leicht has been with me for so many years. Doesn't he know my attitude towards the nobles? Two people, one Stupider than one!"

"The province of Provence rebelled. I didn't hold him accountable. I just dealt with the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and even took the initiative to help him stop the possibility of being charged with crimes—but none of these two people came to their senses! They are still doing it there." Relying on the dream of aristocrats! Pig brains! No! Not as good as pigs!"

The emperor stood up abruptly and slammed his fist on the table.

"Who are those big nobles? They are not the founders of this empire, they are just speculators who surrendered quickly enough and gave enough money! These guys with ulterior motives think that they can change their masters to seek refuge in order to continue Sitting in their muddy pit and watching the sky from a well—from before the birth of the empire to after the birth of the empire, they have always only had this purpose! The empire is just a simple symbol to them, and it is the same if it is replaced by the Theocracy!"

"These people have only one obligation since the founding of the country, and that is to feed themselves fat and fat, waiting for us to turn them into nourishment for the advancement of the empire! The royal family wants to lead the empire, so it must become the benchmark for all people, and these people are the substitutes. Our fat pigs who have taken in the wealth of the world! The more greedy they are, the closer they are to death!

"This kind of thing that is not worthy of standing with me at all, he dares to gather it up, and even tries to rely on them to get my seat? Now he dares to argue with the Chamber of Commerce and even the Theocracy. He really thinks that I only have Only one eye can see the three places!"

The emperor violently swept everything off the table, leaning on the table with both arms, panting heavily.After a while, his breathing slowly calmed down.

"Mr. Lauenburg."

"The minister is here."

The old man bowed and saluted.

"Go and plan. When the means against the nobles are ready, let Augustus make a big mistake and leave the vortex of seizing the heir. Such a petty man, he should go to become a rich man, at least he can have one A good death."

"...Minister, lead the order."

In short, it is very outrageous and completely incomprehensible.

All Beings Are Children: Chapter 115 Chapter [-] The Princess

Because of the unexpected blizzard before, after the school year experience of the students of the Imperial Military University was interrupted by force majeure, it was supplemented by the orcs who went south by accident. He joined the fighting team and fought hand-to-hand with the almost crazy orcs.

It wasn't until the empire won the great victory in Lake Ladoga that Karl finally had time to free up his hands and began to slowly take stock of his scattered students.

The result was not bad. Except for the three teams that were annihilated along with the settlement where they were taken in, the number of students killed in battle was not high, but it can indeed be described as a camp full of wounded, so that the next stage of experience Still forced to suspend, waiting for the students to return to the team one by one.

However, there is indeed a lot of time for them to recuperate. After all, the task of "guaranteeing spring plowing" has obviously been completed, and the orcs have completely lost the possibility of going south. The southward migration of large-scale cattle and sheep herds proves that the nomadic orcs have indeed shed their last drop of blood.

Therefore, the task of staying until the moon was completed ahead of schedule when Huayue just started, and the students still have about two months of free time.

However, the 107th team can no longer play cards. In the final battle, Randolph and Irwin both suffered some injuries to varying degrees, and were lying grinning in the field hospital.And Gustav did not stay with them. After the battle of Lake Ladoga, he left Claude's team and returned to the Karelian fortress. I heard that his team members were all in the offensive and defensive battle of the fortress. Li was injured, so he chose to go there to accompany his men.

Compared to the two unlucky ones lying on the hospital bed, Georgi and Claude sitting on the side looked quite calm. They were almost unscathed in the battle, and they gained more guy.So almost just after the battle was over, without even changing their armor, they rushed to the hospital to visit the wounded who had been sent back early, which made the two sick patients look at them with a bit of resentment in their eyes.

"I'm not surprised that the captain is so strong, why are you so good, Georgi?" Erwin seemed to know his roommate again, "We are all heroic knights, why are you so strong? "

"It's just based on experience. Compared with elves who are not slippery and have knight mages per capita, pure fighters like orcs are still a little easier to fight. At least they won't fight back and forth with swords on the opposite side, and then suddenly get killed by a Balls of fire smeared in the face."

Georgie scratched his head in embarrassment. To be reasonable, a battle of this level is really nothing to him, and the tragic level of the last battle is a little bit like the shadow of the Eastern Front. He is a reckless man who kills a lot of people, and has been chased by the empire for a long time, and there is no decent supply. It is too easy to fight.

"...When I go back this time, I must ask the guards at home how to fight on the battlefield."

Randolph fell on the bed with blank eyes. This knight who was obsessed with intelligence, felt that combat power was also very important for the first time.

"I think when you go back this time, you may already be proficient in these things." Claude comforted, "After all, this is just the beginning, and we still have more than a year to recruit people to fight outside."

"But there's nothing to fight in the north, right? That means we don't need to go back to the north after we've been transferred to the east to fight the elves this summer?" Erwin obviously thought about this issue, "The orcs probably all There are only two or three big cats and kittens left, so is it necessary for us to be stationed from this autumn to next winter?"

"That's right. Could it be that the stationing time on the Eastern Front will be extended?"

Claude couldn't guess what the higher-ups would think, and he hadn't seen Karl for a long time.

"If I have been stationed on the Eastern Front, I don't know if I can have time to take a rest. It just so happens that I can go home and have a look."

Georgi was clearly in high spirits.

"That's right, Georgi, you are from the Volga, and you are probably not far away. If we have a holiday, it will definitely be too late to return to the imperial capital. How about we go to your house to visit?"

Erwin also became interested. After all, he was locked at home since he was a child. Now that he has the opportunity to go out and have fun, he must go for a walk.

"Okay, it would be great if I could move freely. Then I will introduce my wife to you, she is my favorite woman!"

Georgi readily agreed.

"You've already been married!" Erwin was a little surprised, but he soon realized, "That's right, after all, you are older than us, I guess I will be dragged on a blind date when I go back this time, and I will probably be married once I graduate. You have to get married."

"Me too, but my dad may let me be free so that I can find someone I like." Randolph shrugged, "I can escape blind dates anyway, and I'm sure I'm not going to marry one Noble wife, my father also nodded."

The three discussed eagerly, and then slowly discovered that one of them hadn't joined the topic.

Claude is wandering.

"team leader."

"kindness?"

Claude, who recovered from his daze, blinked.

"What's the matter, what's the matter? What are you talking about?"

"We're talking about marriage, Captain, do you have someone you like?"

Georgi asked casually, and then Randolph and Irwin suddenly burst into light, and stared at Claude with the same expression.They just remembered that this guy was very close to Princess Verdun at the beginning, but after being drafted into the army, he suddenly became the guardian knight of His Royal Highness Letitia.

No one can refuse gossip about the princess.jpg

"No, if I want to revitalize my family, I must concentrate on it. Any factors that affect the speed of my sword drawing must be eliminated."

Claude's answer was also very casual, but it was obviously impossible to satisfy the hearts of the two Mensao patients.

"That's it?"
