People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Duke Caister glanced at the man in the grey hat coldly, his tone already carrying a hint of chilliness: "What do you mean? Can it be that I can no longer command you, Sir [I Love Shelag]?"

"No, it's just..."

"Go open it!"

"Alas!" The man in the gray hat sighed deeply, bowed and said, "Your will."

He walked to the door, swallowed, and opened it.

"I can smell your stench even with the door closed. I was right." The tall Filin woman grinned, revealing a dangerous smile. She stepped into the door and pushed open the gray hat in front of her. Her knuckles made a teeth-grinding sound as she rubbed them together. "Kaster, let's settle the score?"

The Duke of Caster suddenly jumped up from the sofa, his old body that was not good at exercise jumped three feet high as if a medical miracle, and his tone was full of shock and fear, as if he had seen his nemesis!

"Windermere, you woman! How did you get here!"

"What's there to settle? Didn't you beat me up in the car that day? We're already settled! You agreed to it at that time!"

"Oh? Did I say that?"

The Duke of Windermere was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Of course she didn't say that. Caister made it up just to buy time.

Because she had noticed that her loyal grey hat had slipped out of the door during the chaos, probably to get help!

Um...are you going to get help?

right?

Believe first!

She just needs to delay time until the two Storm Commandos arrive, and then she can... delay time even longer!

That way, she would definitely be able to wait for Ernst - the host would definitely not allow such a terrible bloodshed to happen in the grand event he had worked so hard to prepare! And the Duke of Windermere really gave Ernst face!

Having made up his mind and drawn up a plan, Duke Caister nodded with great certainty:

"Yes, you did!"

"Okay then!" The Duke of Windermere did not recall any more, but just nodded calmly.

So easy to deal with?

Duke Caister hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you get out of my room now!"

"why?"

The Duke of Windermere was stunned, but instead of retreating, he took a step forward and raised his fist.

"There is no account to be settled, so what?"

"You are a scholar and I am a soldier. What? Do you still want to reason with me?"

"I throw this punch whenever I want!"

Chapter 269 Vina: I will give you a surprise

Kjerag, Tukarim, Government Office Building.

Ernst knocked on the door of the Foreign Minister's office. Vina's voice came from it and Ernst pushed the door open.

The girl with fluffy blonde hair was sitting in her office chair. When she saw that the person who came in was Ernst, she immediately stood up and reported:

"Prime Minister, the venue has been prepared, the staff has basically arrived, and the final preparations have been completed. Ms. Christen finally decided to appear in person at tomorrow's opening ceremony."

"Still can't convince her?"

Ernst sighed helplessly.

"Well, after all, she built the aircraft. Since she has absolute confidence in it, let her do it herself."

While in the Lateran, Ernst confessed to Evangelist XI that he had chosen the theme of the World Exhibition to be "The Future".

Of course, Kjerag was a lowly figure now, so Ernst did not force all the Terran nations to arrange exhibits related to the theme of "future" at this World Expo. But Kjerag, as the organizer, was determined to carry out this theme to the end.

Ernst had made sufficient preparations and left plenty of surprises. The first of these was a "flying show" with Christensen at the opening ceremony.

The Terrans have a long history of looking up at the sky. Stargazing, astrology, celestial phenomena, prophecy, and many other things are related to the sky. However, the history of the Terrans trying to soar to the sky is pitifully short.

Leaving aside the obscure history of the Gods’ People Era, the closest the Terrans ever came to the sky was when Christen’s parents, the Wrights, conducted a series of flight experiments and performances in Columbia.

The brief flying craze that flourished in that country where "anything new was accepted" ended with the crash of the Wrights' aircraft.

Now, Christen plans to rekindle the flame again, so she found Ernst and the two hit it off.

The Dome Research Station is not only a research station for studying the isolation layer of the "Star Pod", but also a flight experiment base. Under the protection of the learned Yelagund, the sky above Kjerag has been successfully transformed into an area suitable for flying, and with the persistent "assistance" of the Fire Demon Safar, Christen has finally built the aircraft she is most satisfied with so far.

The aircraft will fly through the sky of Kjerag at tomorrow's opening ceremony, performing three performances: high-altitude flight, low-altitude flight, and circling flight, and finally land on the helipad at the top of the Matterhorn.

At that time, Ernst will also cooperate and deliver his first speech - "From the Future".

[When Terran humans boasted that the civilization and country we have built have conquered every corner of this land. ]

[When we take it for granted that we divide our country's sphere of influence, and use our rapidly developing technology and thriving national strength to fill our insatiable greed, and let every inch of soil be stained with our blood.]

【I ask all of us to listen together. 】

[Listen to this voice from the future. She is passing over your head, she is whistling sharply, and she is speaking to everyone who still has ambitions in their hearts. ]

[“Our future does not lie in each other, but in the sky and the sea. Our future lies in each other, in unity and cooperation.”]

【This is the beginning of the World Expo, and I hope it will also be the beginning of the future. 】

[Our journey is to the sea of ​​stars! ]

Ernst did not expect a simple appeal to have much impact, but combined with Christen's flying performance, Ernst believed that this speech would at least plant a seed in the hearts of the leaders of the Terra countries.

Not only can we conquer the earth, we can also conquer the sky.

Of course, most importantly, this speech will be coordinated with Ernst’s “Across the Star Pod” experiment at the end of the expo.

When the speech "We choose to go to the moon!" sounded in Columbia and Kjerag, the theme of "future" was truly highlighted under the resonance, achieving the real effect of 1+1 being greater than 2!

After Ernst finalized the details of the matter, he handed it over to his most trusted subordinate, Vina. And Vina lived up to expectations. Every time Ernst contacted her, she handed in a satisfactory answer.

But this time, Ernst did not come simply to inspect the results.

He looked at Vina and was silent for a moment. In Vina's somewhat nervous gaze, he finally spoke and raised the question that she was most worried about:

"Vina, what are you afraid of?"

"As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, you refused to receive foreign visitors, but took the initiative to ask me to be in charge of the docking work with Christen. Although you did a good job, this is not your job."

At first, Ernst didn't actually want to hand over the coordination with Christen to Vina.

She originally planned to give it to Lola. Firstly, Miss Polar Bear had the most interactions with Rhine Life. During her day-to-day plastering work, she also became friends with Miss Nastie, the director of the Rhine Life Engineering Department. Secondly, Lola had the highest academic qualifications. As a graduate of a formal school, she could at least understand the professional terms that Kristen uttered from time to time. Even if she didn't understand, her learning threshold was the lowest among all the people in Kjerag.

But Vina volunteered.

Without any excuses, she even started with "please" and took the project from Ernst half-pleading and half-threateningly.

Ernst did not doubt Vina's loyalty. As an expert in political struggles, he did not find any signs of factional strife among his subordinates. Besides, Vina was a foreign minister and Lola was in the engineering department, so their business scopes were not the same. If she insisted on such a project, even if Ernst gave it to her, it would only reduce her impression points, wouldn't it?

If Vina did this, she must be wearing leather pants over cotton pants, there must be a reason!

Ernst originally wanted to investigate secretly, but Vina didn't even give him the opportunity and exposed her purpose.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy with work, but it may be difficult for me to make time to receive foreign guests..."

This is so abnormal.

The Foreign Secretary has no time to carry out his own diplomatic work because he is responsible for coordinating with scientists on project engineering issues.

If Vina had not mentioned this matter to him in person, Ernst would have suspected that Vina and Lola had exchanged souls.

In fact, it does not require too much thinking to analyze this matter, the answer is obvious.

"Vina, if you refuse to go to Victoria, I can turn a blind eye. But this is Kjerag, no one can hurt you in Kjerag. This is not only Yelagund's guarantee, but also my promise!"

Ernst frowned.

"So, if I may, I want to know what exactly you are worried about. Who are you afraid of?"

Vina has met the Duke of Windermere, but there have been no contradictions or conflicts between the two. Although the Duke of Windermere's attitude towards Vina is somewhat interesting, it is not hostile after all.

The person who made Vina feel like escaping should be one of the other dukes?

Although he felt a little embarrassed for often criticizing her, Ernst's first reaction was indeed to think of the Duke of Kast. However, Ernst really couldn't think of any relationship between the Duke of Kast and Vina. Could it be that he was just like himself, and after searching for a long time, he found that they were relatives?

Hiss——Having a relative like the Duke of Kaster is indeed quite scary. But Ernst wanted to tell Vina that even if you and your family had any conflicts with the Duke of Kaster, that was already a thing of the past.

You are now a Kjerag, my subordinate. Even the Duke of Kast can't do anything to you here!

Otherwise I will ask the Duke of Windermere to beat her up, and let the god Yelagund knock on the Duke of Castle's window every day so that he will have nightmares!

Looking at Ernst's serious face, Vina opened her mouth several times, and finally gritted her teeth and said:

"Ernst, will you promise to protect me forever?"

What you said is quite ambiguous, but the atmosphere has been set to this point and it seems impossible not to agree.

Ernst nodded. "As long as you don't betray Kjerag and resign from your position, you will be a Kjerag person and be protected by Yelagund."

"I want your promise!" Vina said seriously, with a hint of tears in her eyes. "It was you who brought me out of Victoria, not Yelagund. So... I only trust you!"

Ernst took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I promise!"

As if she had breathed a sigh of relief, Vina's tense face suddenly softened. She walked forward, ignoring Ernst's stunned look, stretched out her hands, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her whole body in his arms, making a muffled sound:

"grateful."

"Wait until the expo starts, I'll give you a surprise!"

Chapter 270 Airship!

Kjerag, Tukarim, World Expo site.

The newly built streets were smooth and spacious, with colorful flags and ribbons hung on the street lamps that were only hung during the Harvest Festival. The shops on both sides also hung many big red lanterns and Yan knots in Yan style. This was also a blessing for Tornst. If it had not introduced Yan style celebration methods such as window decorations, paper-cuts, and fireworks to the Harvest Festival, Enchiodis would not have realized the business opportunity and added a fireworks business to the business scope of Kalan Trade, which was "not just trade (medical)" like Rhodes Island.

Of course, Mr. Nohis Edwiss, the Chief Technology Officer of Kalan Trade who wishes to remain anonymous and knows some of the inside story, commented:

"Hahahaha! What business opportunity? Enchiodis just lost face over the fireworks, so he wants to make up for it!"

We still don't know where Nosis Edwiss is now.

"He's going to be sick today and can't come."

Faced with the doubts of others, Mr. Enshiodis, the president of Kalan Trading, issued a statement that was no different from a high school class teacher claiming that the physical education teacher was sick and took leave.

There is no need to doubt its authenticity or reliability.

The word "must" is used in a very mysterious way, which contains some sadness, some hardship, some inexpressible things, and some human subjective initiative.

After taking a seat in the conference hall of the World Expo in advance, Enthiotis glanced at the leaders who had already arrived.

Representatives from various countries mostly sat in one area. Even the Casimir Supervisory Committee and the Business Federation, who disliked each other, maintained the greatest degree of hypocrisy in such occasions. However, the seats of the Duke of Caster and the Duke of Windermere were far apart, and Enciodis vaguely heard some rumors...

“The significant improvement in Kjerag’s medical care is inseparable from their help.”

Some hell told a joke, and Enthiotis looked at the makeshift stage.

That was Ernst’s stage.

There was a time when he thought his brother was somewhat naive and cute, and he really believed that with his immature diplomatic skills, he could protect Kjerag from being harmed in the increasingly fierce strife in the world.

But when those people who even Enthiotis was surprised and shocked, and who he had rarely seen before, now appeared in front of him, sitting in the same area with him, and even sitting behind him in the ranking, no matter how hard he tried to be stubborn, he had to affirm that Ernst did a good job.

Even though exchanges between countries are based on strength, Ernst has cleverly leveraged strength time and time again, allowing Kjerag, an inconspicuous small country, to always exert an influence far beyond its own size when needed.

Ernst had also revealed to him the plan for the World Summit. If this plan could be realized, Kjerag's leverage would reach its peak.

Kjerag, who doesn't even have a high-speed battleship, may be bullied. Kjerag, who doesn't even have a high-speed battleship, plus a Duke of Windermere is enough to make people vigilant. Kjerag, who doesn't even have a high-speed battleship, plus a Duke of Windermere, plus a Duke of Caster, a Duke of Wellington, and a Columbia, that's enough to shock Terra to the point where his words are "as good as gold".

We are so awesome!

Enthiotis recalled what Ernst had always muttered before: "Danzig or war? Humph, a victory of diplomacy!" "Let them fight, and you, glorious Habsburg, get married!" "I really want a 666 God, even if his last name is Osmanoglu, I can just believe him!" and other nonsense. But now thinking about it, maybe these are also some unknown but really useful fragments of his thoughts?

It's really touching.

When did I start to not understand this little brother? He used to follow me and call me brother just like Enya.

I really want to...I really want to...
