Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 193 State-Owned Shares
Nord Palace
Kate is still so dignified, standing there is a noble tulip, and her smile also reveals endless elegance. She is no longer the little girl who laughs casually in the port city, but the quasi-princess of Nord.

"Very hard."

It was not a question but a confirmation, which warmed Kate's heart. She shook her head and said, "It's not hard, there are some things I should do, and that's my duty."

"go home!"

Holding Kate's hand, Joseph wanted to walk into the palace, but just as he held his hand, a categorical rejection came. Looking over suspiciously, Kate looked at her with a smile instead of answering.

Ok!She is a tulip, a noble tulip, and I need to keep her noble.

They didn't continue to hold hands, and the two walked towards the palace one after the other. The butler Abner was very moved when he saw this scene. Although this was the princess he expected to see, but... this was also Joseph's sorrow.

She is a princess, and she is only a princess. She is the princess of the entire Nord Principality, not the wife of Joseph alone. This has cut off the emergence of such things as love and romance from the very beginning.

In the hall, Abner stood behind Joseph, and Joanna stood beside Kate. They drank coffee and neither of them spoke first.

"Pregnant, how many months?"

"Three months, very safe."

"That……"

"He's not an illegitimate child. There's no rush to get married."

Kate is very smart, she knows what Joseph wants to ask, and she is also very understanding, giving all the answers Joseph wants. At this time, Joseph feels that he can't ask for more.

"Campus life is very good, but...you are the Grand Duke Nord."

It was a very ordinary and casual sentence, but it contained a hint of warning from Kate. Joseph was not angry because he understood Kate's kindness at this time, and he was indeed a lot more casual during this period of time.

"Nord's technology level is good, and the medical care is also very good, but this is not a place suitable for self-cultivation. Find an oasis in Western Sahara! Build a hospital, and I will stay in Nord for a while."

The environment in the Western Sahara oasis is very good. Although Nord is also very good, it is only average. It is far inferior to the oasis in Western Sahara. The only thing lacking there is medical care, but this is still a problem for Joseph?

"it is good!"

Kate didn't refuse, and she didn't want to be too tired. The oasis in Western Sahara is very good, carefree, with sandy soil outside and green under the feet, a rare beauty and environment.

Seeing that Kate promised to come down, Joseph waved for James to come over. Since Joseph came back, he would naturally work by Joseph's side.It didn't matter to Joanna, because at this time he already understood the reason why he was transferred, so how could he have any unreasonable thoughts.

"Two things, let Marceau look for a small oasis that has not yet built a town. Second, arrange a regiment to station there, and we must ensure the safety there."

James didn't lift his head, and after remembering these two things, he hurried to the phone.

"James is not bad, but he is not a servant of the palace, so it is inappropriate to stay here. In the future, the official affairs will be handled by the cabinet!"

Although she didn't say it clearly, she agreed with Kate's arrangement. Joanna blushed slightly, and Kate was slightly taken aback, unable to express what she felt in her heart.

"Joanna doesn't have to stay here, and accompany Kate to the oasis."

Leaving the two daughters with different thoughts behind, Joseph left the hall.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet sent a note saying..."

"say what?"

"It is stated that the royal family occupies too much capital in the country, which is not conducive to the development of the Principality of Nord. They want to ask for money to buy back some shares, especially Royal Heavy Industries, Royal Media, Royal Bank..."

"Is this the intention of the cabinet or an individual?"

Joseph didn't have much anger, but Abner became more and more anxious and nervous. He was very panicked, because once Joseph revealed his dissatisfaction, it is estimated that all members of the Nord cabinet would be dismissed.

"Individuals, but any opposition personnel in the Cabinet."

Wiping off the sweat he didn't have, Abner waited for Joseph's result on this matter.

It seems that Joseph is calm, but his heart is already in an uproar. What do you mean?Is this the cabinet trying to seize power collectively?But it shouldn't be, they don't have military power, and they don't have any ability to overthrow themselves, so why do they want to kill themselves?
"Let James come and see me."

Putting these words aside, Joseph walked towards the study, Abner glanced at his back and began to pray for James, and slowly contacted James.

nord cabinet
"We were too reckless."

Seeing Smith's annoyed expression, Prime Minister James glanced at the other cabinet members and asked calmly, "You also think the same?"

silence
There is no answer, but no answer is itself an answer, and things speak for themselves.

"What do you think, a constitutional monarchy or a... republic?"

No one thought that James would say such words. Although these words were very calm and calm, no matter who heard them, they couldn't help trembling, and even those who were excited were full of panic. stood up.

"I guessed right or..."

"Prime Minister James, you should understand that we did not mean that."

"No such meaning? So what do you think is reckless? Do you want to accumulate a little bit, and take back these shares directly when His Majesty is unable to resist?"

"I……"

"The world is changing. Now is the new century. There are only a few countries with a constitutional monarchy and a republic. Therefore, it is normal for you to have such thoughts. After all, no one wants their rights to be restrained all the time, and no one wants to You consider it a waste to see vast sums of wealth gathered in one hand."

silence
"Maybe you don't have any other intentions. You just want to use the seemingly wasted money on the right path. You don't want to keep the national treasury burdened with huge loans from the royal family. You take this as your own shame, don't you?"

still silent
"I just want to explain the fact that this is the Nord Principality of the Ragnar family. The Grand Duke of Nord has all the rights here, all the rights. Life and death are at the discretion of the Grand Duke. If you Want to be free, the sky beyond Nord is vast, but there is only one master here, remember, only one master."

"I don't want to hear similar words in the future, freedom...does not belong to Nord, and a system like the Republic is not suitable for the Principality of Nord, because it is not due to you and me that Nord is today, it is the result of Ragnar's business, we only have An identity, its manager, is a temporary manager!"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is a message from the palace to let you quickly go to the palace to meet His Majesty."

"I will get most of the shares of state-owned enterprises by means of loans. I hope you can also remember what I just said. There are not only you and me here."

Leaving an ambiguous sentence, James hurriedly left the cabinet office, and the rest of the people ignored it, and suddenly their faces were very pale.

"Us, what shall we do?"

"It has nothing to do with me, I have something else to do."

Smith had no other intentions, and this matter really had nothing to do with him. He was just feeling sorry for this incident from the standpoint of the Ministry of the Interior. Naturally, he refused to stay any longer if things were not going well.

It was not only Smith who left, but also a few old officials of Nord. They all watched the rise of Nord little by little, and also watched Joseph's role in it. Without Joseph, there would be no Duchy of Nord today.How could those naive remarks and ideas come out of their mouths.

Nord was a little weak, so he hired some foreign managers. At this time, most of these managers were ministers and deputy ministers. They grew up with the wind of freedom, which is why they are what they are today.

It's not the first time they want to talk about such things as taking back the state-owned shares, but back then they were so soft-spoken and had no right to speak. At this time, they have already held high positions and even have cabinet members. They made many small moves while Joseph was away. .

If it weren't for this, what happened today would not have happened.

They have also thought about the army, but it is far away in Western Sahara, and it is difficult for them to rush to the Nord land. Besides... with the help of some countries, it is believed that it is difficult for the Nord army to return to the Nord land.

No rape?It can't be called that, they are also thinking about the freedom of domestic citizens, that's called foreign aid, and it's a normal country-to-country relationship.

As soon as the veterans left, the remaining high-ranking Nord officials looked at each other and sensed the anxiety in each other's hearts. After all, this was an act of treason, and the Nord royal family would never let them go.

"We leave..."

You were despised by others before you finished speaking, and now you can still leave?The main reason is that they did not expect that the cabinet would not be single-minded. First of all, James did not support or even be hostile to their actions. This was also for the sake of the country and the cabinet. The biggest beneficiary was James. Why did he refuse?

James' thoughts?James' idea is very simple, not to mention his decades of loyalty to the Nord royal family, even his reason makes him understand that this matter cannot be done, because they have no possibility of success.

Taking back the shares may be just a temptation, but he who understands Joseph's character understands that any temptation will not make Joseph compromise, or even directly make them disappear in the bud.

This is Joseph's usual method. The poor fellows couldn't think of it at all. At first, they thought that even if Joseph did not compromise, then at most he would just refuse, but with James' firm refusal and Joseph's call, they at this time Only then did I realize that something was wrong.

"We must unite at this time, let's do it in advance! Inform the United States and France and let them assist. Those conditions...we agree."

"Advance? We're not ready yet..."

bump……
