I'm in Terra, governing a weird little country.

You taste, you taste carefully.

The Duke of Castle, the Duke of Windermere’s designated beach mascot, is doing a great job!

Unfortunately, the Duke of Stafford did not have Kent's good fortune, nor did he have the blessing of Jeragond.He stayed longer in Londinium, and the poison became more severe, until it seemed that he was no longer alive.

The other grand dukes are still struggling with their old man. As a grand duke who is also ambitious, he can only take advantage of others not paying attention and give it a try!

But did everyone really not pay attention at all?

The Duke of Stafford's rebellion plan is like a striptease. Before he even starts, the things that need to be exposed are already exposed.

On the eve of the start of his operation, another intelligence network in Londinium City had already noticed Duke Stafford's movements. This intelligence network was controlled by another old acquaintance of ours.

Her name is Heidi.

Before the rebellion occurred, Heidi's intelligence network in Londinium City, an alliance composed of workers, students, painters, flower shop owners and other people from all walks of life, had already noticed something strange.

Not only Duke Stafford has infiltrated, but also the Sakaz troops led by Duke Cavendish who have been waiting outside Londinium for a long time.

Duke Stafford knew that Duke Cavendish would enter the city tonight and use the power of Sarkaz to annihilate the Steam Knight.

Because he also participated in the Duke's secret meeting, because the chaos caused by this conspiracy was a stepping stone to his conspiracy.

But maybe it was because he was seriously ill and the CPU was down, or maybe he made an error while busy and the CPU was overloaded. He missed two points.

Duke Cavendish is also a grand duke, so what reason should he have for entering Londinium?Are you like me, sneaking in secretly?

Of course it's impossible.If it was infiltration, how would he transport in a large number of Sakaz troops that were enough to annihilate the Steam Knights?

When the city council is a fool?Since they agreed to let the Grand Duke get rid of the Steam Knight, they couldn't help but be prepared to drive them out after the Grand Duke's troops got rid of the Steam Knight.

After all, the city defense army is still in their hands.

Therefore, if Duke Cavendish wants Sakaz to enter the city, he must meet two conditions.

One - something must happen in the city in order for him to lead his army into the city for a legitimate reason.

Second - the events in the city must be out of the control of the city council, and ultimately directly affect the normal operation of the city council. This can ensure that the Grand Duke can take control of the city council and control Londinium afterwards.

By now, it should be self-evident who Duke Cavendish is.

The Duke of Castro is indeed a master of maneuvering, and she plays with the dirtiest, most ugly side of Victoria, but also the most efficient.But even she, like Duke Stafford, missed the second point.

Sakaz under the leadership of Tracys has never been a simple sword!

Many, many things happened that night.

The city council and the grand dukes jointly issued a recall to all steam knights entering the city today.The Duke of Stafford was seriously ill and had to launch a rebellion in advance in an attempt to seize power.This seemingly "leaked news", but in fact has been planned by the Duke of Cester, became an opportunity for Duke Cavendish, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, to lead Sakaz into the city.

Late at night, while the Duke of Stafford bombarded Parliament Square and began an attack on the City Council, Parliament was paralyzed.Duke Cavendish announced the Duke of Stafford's rebellion, and he personally led the Sakaz army into Londinium to quell the rebellion.The city defense army, which had been seriously short of strength due to its participation in Duke Stafford's rebellion, was unable to stop it and watched Cavendish lead his army into the city.

With the Breath of Kings as a threat, Sarkaz's army gathered the Steam Knights at the resting place of the kings, and used wheel battles to kill the seriously damaged Steam Knights who could not get any replacement.

Subsequently, Duke Cavendish followed the procedure and ordered Sarkaz to suppress Duke Stafford's hasty rebellion.The Duke of Stafford was dying to resist.

Amid the rumble of cannons, daybreak dawned.

After the citizens of Londinium got up after a frightened night without sleeping, the first big news they heard was the results of last night's battle.

The dukes got into a fight and both died violently!

This Cistercian plot was planned for a long time, the Duke of Stafford was forced to sacrifice, the Duke of Cavendish opened the champagne at half-time, and the Londinium drama ended with the dormant Tracy winning in the last move. .

So far, the whole drama is over!

ohh~

Chapter 1: Rhode Island, maybe I’ll have a chance to visit it too.

With such a big change happening in Victoria, do all the countries in Terra care?

In fact, according to common sense, there was a rebellion in Londinium, the two grand dukes died violently, and Sakaz entered the capital, which should have attracted the attention of the countries of Terra.

After all, Victoria has some strength on the land of Terra, and can claim a dominant position in the inner circle. It is not like a small country in Africa, South America or the Pacific, where a rebellion doesn't even make the news.

But that’s the magic of this land!

It was obviously a major event that could trigger many chain reactions, causing a decline in Victoria's foreign exchanges, trade, domestic manufacturing, and even triggering an international financial crisis.However, there was no reaction from the international community at all. The calmness made melon-eating people like Ernst who had traveled from the earth feel strange.

What, brothers, is this melon not ripe or not sweet?Why doesn't everyone eat it?

Grandma, why don’t you eat?I also hope that everyone will speak enthusiastically, so that I can take the opportunity to observe what is happening and follow the trend!

It must be said that condemnation and concern are really very useful diplomatic words.For example, this rebellion, although it did not last long and the final result did not give Victoria an extra emperor, it was still an opportunity.

It would be nice if a few people jumped out to express concern about the situation in Victoria or condemned the rebels.

Ernst could observe the values ​​and positions of the person and the force he represented, and then decide whether to follow up.

Of course, he didn't expect Kjelag's size to attract any attention or cause any waves in Terra International, but he could at least make his presence felt.

For example, if the two queens of Letania had spoken and expressed concern about Victoria's chaos.Then Ernst could speak, echo, and show his face in front of the Queen.

In the future, if Kjelag needs to cooperate with Letania, he can also be more approachable during negotiations: "I think back then, when Her Majesty the Queen made such and such remarks, Kjelag was the first one Stand up and support!”

This is not very nutritious, but it doesn’t cost much.

For a small country, it is a rare opportunity to show its face internationally and gain a sense of presence at no cost.

Most of the time, they only attract the attention of major powers when there is civil war, rebellion, or a humanitarian crisis in the country.And the price to pay for this kind of attention is unbearable for any local people.

Regarding Ernst's attitude, Vina, who had just returned to Kjerag, was confused:

"But Ernst, isn't it time for Kjerag to grow up? If we show up internationally like this, won't it cause Kjerag trouble?"

Ernst understood Vina's thinking.

But the fact is that this idea is a kind of arrogance taken for granted by Wei Na, who was born in a big country like Victoria.

In the exchanges of the international community, the words "insignificant development" and "development and growth" are antonyms.

Kjerag is not a village - although it is quite similar to one in terms of organizational structure.

He is well-known in the international community - although his voice is about the same as the group of AI countries in the Star Sea Council that stand opposite the Fourth Natural Disaster.

Kjerag as a small country.

If you want to develop and grow, you must obtain the materials necessary to support you on the road to modernization—such as talents, resources, and technology.

And if you want to obtain these things, you must participate in international exchanges and deal with big countries that own these things and are willing to sell them.Then it is definitely impossible for you to hide it and grow secretly.

If you want to grow insignificantly, then you cannot meet the above conditions, and you will not be able to summon the dragon of development, let alone take off.

The reason why Vina has such contradictory thoughts is because she is a Victorian, and the country she was born in is powerful enough, just like the British Empire in Ernst's world when the sun never sets. I don't mean to be sleazy by being gloriously isolated. Development, but you are not worthy of diplomacy with me.

But even so, Daying still faithfully plays the role of a troublemaker in his own world, dedicated to messing up the entire Europe and even the world.

And we know that at that time, there was also a country that had a similar mentality to Great Britain, thinking that it was superior and the center of the world, and that other countries were no longer worthy of being compared with itself, so it closed itself off and was not even willing to establish a Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Its fate has alerted its descendants for more than 100 years.

Some people may ask, then why did China pursue the strategy of "hide its strength and bide its time" in the end, develop silently, and succeed?

Well, because it was an extremely special international environment at that time, there was a more powerful big brother standing over China. Although it aged and decayed very quickly, during the years of its existence, it did It has held up a piece of sky and helped many small countries in the world gain a little breathing space.

Otherwise, the name of Xunduoduo, which received tens of billions of subsidies, would not have been passed down.

And, beyond that, Ernst also had to say.

If Kjelag can repeat China's record and challenge Victoria, Colombia, Casimir, Ursus, Letania and other Terran powers, and successfully defeat them all, then Kjerag Indeed, one has the right to say that one wants to "grow obscenely".

After all, only strong countries can engage in diplomacy, while only small countries need diplomacy.

Wei Na nodded in understanding.

Ernst did not expect her to understand in an instant the experiences that he had summed up for a long time in his previous life. As long as she understood what he meant, she would be able to take advantage of such similar opportunities in the future.

You report your progress to the boss. What the boss looks at is your attitude.If such a face is successfully used, if there is an opportunity in the future, and Kjerag and another small country and town, such as Xista, compete for a certain bidding project, then this favorability is likely to help them win the order. key!

"Having said so much, you should first report what you gained from this trip to Longmen."

Ernst sat on the office chair, folded his hands on his chest, looked at Vina and asked,

"Besides what you reported about Urs in your letter, did anything else happen?"

Wei Na nodded and said: "There are still many things worth mentioning. Wei Yanwu's attitude towards me is very enthusiastic. During the time he stayed in Longmen, he introduced me to many high-level people in Longmen. Including the recent The director of the Health Bureau, her niece, Inspector Chen Huijie, Miss Beatrix Schweizer, the heir to the Schweizer family, Mr. Lin Gerui, the underground leader of Longmen, the Rat King, and his daughter..."

Vina rattled off a long list of names in one breath. Some of these names were familiar, and some were unheard of. Ernst remembered them one by one.

They may all become future social resources, or even further, human resources.

The last name Wei Na spat out made Ernst suddenly raise his head:

"Before I officially left Longmen, Wei Yanwu also took me to meet with the person in charge of a newly established medical company. Her name is Amiya."

Amiya, this name is not very special in Weina's eyes, and her revealed identity is far less eye-catching than the power behind the series of names that Weina reported before.But Wei Na still remembered her.

Because Amiya is special.

"She had just celebrated her 12th birthday before I met her."

"This is the first time I have seen such a young [leader]. To be honest, even with the special case of you, Prime Minister, I am still deeply shocked. In my impression, even if the leader is not a grey-haired majestic old man , at least he should be a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face."

"But Amiya feels very mature to me, she is like..." Weina couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe her feelings the moment she saw Amiya.After some struggle and twisting, she reluctantly pulled out a metaphor from her vocabulary that was hard to describe, "like a child who was forced to wear a crown, put on a dress, and sit on the throne."

A certain mission and motivation drove her to show her mature appearance. She was also actively working hard to imitate adults, even wearing an ill-fitting coat for this purpose.However, her short stature, unchanged childlike voice, and slightly naive response to Wei Yanwu's probing still made her seem a little stretched.

"Is there someone else following her?"

Ernst asked suddenly. This question made Vina stunned for a moment, and then she nodded in surprise:

"how do you know?"

"Amiya is always accompanied by a Philin named Kelsey. I feel like she is more like the leader of Rhode Island than Amiya. Although she doesn't look very old."

Weina said, patching up what she said before.

She felt a little strange.Are the leaders of Terra gradually getting younger?She still remembered that when she was in the palace, few of the nobles her father met were not old men.Why do we meet three young leaders in one breath now?

Ernst did not answer her words, but asked expectantly:

"Then did you see a person in black clothes, with a hood, and his whole body covered tightly?"
