Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 737

The emergency cabinet meeting lasted all night and did not adjourn until late at night.

Queen Anne only went back to her bedroom and slept for a few hours before getting up and starting working again.

This was a habit she developed during the war. Although she no longer had to follow such an extreme schedule after returning to Longton, her military experience still taught her how to quickly restore her energy.

After all, you don't have much time to sleep on the battlefield, especially with the popularization of guns and artillery, getting a good night's sleep is almost a luxury when fighting.

After washing her face with cold water, the cold temperature stimulated her still drowsy brain and made Queen Anne regain consciousness.

She simply ate something to fill her stomach and then came to Perfect's residence.

Although the cabinet was temporarily under control after she adopted a tough militaristic approach, and indeed began to work hard according to her arrangements and instructions, they still needed to find Perfecto to resolve the snowstorm problem.

"Now, you finally look a bit like a queen." Perfect was eating breakfast at the dining table. When she saw Queen Anne coming to her so early in the morning in military uniform, her eyes finally showed some approval.

"Perhaps I have never been fit to be the queen." Queen Anne sat down in front of Perfectcot, looked at her seriously and said, "I need your help now."

At yesterday's cabinet meeting, Queen Anne realized something during her discussion with the cabinet.

That is, if you want to solve the problem of the snowstorm in a short period of time and prevent this white disaster from turning into a larger-scale disaster and causing irreparable losses, you must ask Perfect for help.

However, Perfect did not agree immediately, but discussed with Queen Anne how to be a qualified queen: "Different people have different styles. Your mother is a skilled politician. She is not lacking in courage, but also has a gentle hand.

As a leader, she is better at balancing the interests of all parties, allowing everyone to find their place and maintaining the balance of the entire country."

"This is what I am not good at. I originally thought that after I became the queen, I might be able to accumulate enough experience to be qualified for this position, but now I find that I can't learn this at all..." Queen Anne shook her head, sighed, and then regained her toughness: "Since I can't learn it, and I don't have the time to accumulate experience, then I can only use what I am good at."

At this point, Queen Anne picked up Perfecto's cup on the table, poured the liquid into her mouth, and then said in a very imposing manner: "What I am good at is war, so I will treat this as a war! I... No, what's in your cup? Why is it so unpalatable?"

Before Queen Anne could finish her words, she almost vomited because of the bitter taste in her mouth.

However, her good upbringing allowed her to hold back, and she finally swallowed it with a mouthful of bitterness like mud.

"Super espresso. I use it to stay awake, but I usually use alchemy to change its taste before drinking it." Perfect laughed.

Changing the taste of food is a simple thing for Perfecto, so she doesn't mind having a cup of super espresso with breakfast to get her brain going.

As she grew up, she could feel that her brain was still growing, and her thinking and reaction abilities were still improving. Although the improvement was not much, she could feel that she was smarter than she was a few years ago.

But at the same time, a smarter brain means greater consumption, but this is a problem that is easy to solve for a master alchemist.

However, the almost overloaded work in recent years has made Perfect develop a strange habit of having a cup of espresso in the morning, which can stimulate her brain's active thinking.

Otherwise, she would have to spend several hours every day to keep her brain working at high speed, which was somewhat a waste of time.

But she didn't expect that Queen Anne would snatch her drink at the dinner table, which resulted in such a scene, causing the originally imposing Queen Anne to lose all her momentum in an instant.

After drinking two glasses of water to rinse her mouth, Queen Anne still felt an impressive bitterness in her mouth.

But she was a super knight after all, and had received rigorous training. This situation was not insurmountable, so she quickly adjusted herself and said to Perfectcot again: "Little Perfectcot, I really need your help! The North is also your territory. You don't want to see the entire North suffer huge losses in this snowstorm, do you?"

"I've told you the method. Building a weather controller can solve the problem." Although Perfect was very happy to see Queen Anne's transformation, she always felt that something was missing.

"But they said it would take at least eight days to build the weather controller! You and I both know that we can't let this blizzard last another eight days!" Queen Anne pounded the table in front of her, causing the cutlery on the table to jump.

Perfect didn't care at all. She just waved her hand and said, "It seems that they are more capable than I thought. I originally expected them to take twelve days. I guess it was you who gave the order as the queen and forced out their last potential."

"I asked them to do it at all costs. I guess they might exploit the workers and alchemists, but it would still take too long!" Queen Anne shook her head. Now was not the time to care about the losses that would be caused by doing so.

Because not doing so will only result in greater losses.

So Queen Anne had to seek a more effective solution so that things would not drag on for so long.

"Little Perfect! I really need your help! I don't want to order you around as a queen, but I have no better way right now. I hope you can understand." Queen Anne looked at Perfect sincerely, hoping that she would take the initiative to take on this task.

However, Perfect just stared at Queen Anne, shook his head and said to her: "I told you that you still lack something. As a leader, you should learn when to use emotions and when to use commands.

It's like a war, as a general you always have to decide to let some people die and let others do things they don't want to do.

If you always focus on warmth, then unfortunately, you will always meet people like me who are unwilling to work. You can't always ask others to work for you, right?
Perhaps this is exactly what you lack! Remember, Your Majesty, if a person wants to lead others, either you make everyone fear you and respect your authority; or you make everyone sympathize with you and pity you before listening to you. Which one do you choose?"
