Chapter 216 Defense
"See Your Majesty."
"That's right, the children of Capet's family are young and talented. When talking to young people of this age, you can always feel your vigor, unyielding fighting spirit, talent, and means.
Friedrich did not complain about his defeat, and the Rise of the Kingdom needs someone as capable as you. "
"You are absurd."
"It's better not to, I hope you won't waste the time I reserved for you alone.
I will ask you some questions to understand your thoughts, and you can answer and refute as much as you like. Since you gave Friedrich an equal opportunity to communicate, I will also give you this opportunity.
From now on, you don't have to regard me as a king, and speak out your true thoughts boldly.
But remember, you only have fifteen minutes. "
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"What do you want to do with Friedrich?"
"Do you mean Friedrich Wilhelm Hohenzollern, or Prince William?"
"What difference does it make."
"Prince William is one of the candidates for crown prince, so he is naturally the subject of His Majesty's investigation. And Friedrich Wilhelm Hohenzollern is His Majesty's family, your son.
The prince committed the same crime as the common people. Prince William colluded with neighboring countries and framed good people in order to compete for superiority.
But as a child of the Hohenzollern family, it is quite different. The son made a big mistake and made a mistake, and his father spoke harshly to save face when he came forward to teach him a lesson.
When I got home, it was only a verbal lesson at best. The big thing was that I could whip my son to improve his memory. It was really not a big deal. "
"Then am I a good father or a strict king now?"
"The king is the father of the country, and everything should be prioritized from the perspective of the country. If things are not handled properly, the people will laugh at the country's loose rule of law and lack of credibility, and the joke will pass after a while.
However, it has become a family matter and has been mishandled. How will the other Highnesses feel, and what will the public think of this royal joke?
If a family cannot be managed well, how can it be capable of governing a country. "
"Friedrich looked for you, how did he tell you?"
"Except for the royal capital of Göttinghagen, he has no regrets wherever he is sent.
Your Highness, I just want to survive. "
"Forget it, let him go. After the ceremony, Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Hohenzollern will voluntarily go to his fief Neube, and he will not be allowed to participate in politics from today on."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Everywhere in the city is arranging the grand ceremony for me. Everyone is keen on this matter. From Central City to Donggang, no matter whether it is royal family nobles or agricultural and commercial workers, everyone enjoys it happily.
Whether from Lille in the north to Mosley in the south, whether they are foreign residents or local elites, they are also looking forward to the grand ceremony with great interest.
It's been a long time since the capital city has been so lively. Since you just came from Villedo, why don't you talk about what you've seen along the way. "
"Sorry, I didn't see any of what His Majesty said."
"I can't see it or I don't want to see it!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. If I usually take a steam train, I can see the difference between Göttinghagen and Villedot at a glance. They are in the same city but they are two completely different styles. Naturally, I can see clearly .
But today the fleet of airships you sent from the palace brought me from Miska.
I spent most of the time on the airship directly to the palace. Even when I was sightseeing, I could only see a white cloud.
As for the residents below, they look like ant spots. Even if I tell you the celebratory sounds of the people, you won't be able to hear them if you're too far away. "
"Oh, it turned out to be my fault."
"Your Majesty cannot be blamed for this. Perhaps their shouts were not loud enough, and their celebrations were not obvious enough. If they were louder, they might be able to hear them."
"Maybe someone heard it and pretended not to hear it, don't you think?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. At worst, when I go back next time, I can see and hear everything by taking a steam train."
"The person sitting on the airship has the responsibility to take the boat. It is necessary to ensure that it is safe enough when working at high altitudes, so as to protect those who take the train.
People who take a steam train naturally have the convenience of a train, and can see and hear everything.
Two kinds of traffic can work at the same time to meet the needs of various people, and there will be a reasonable traffic order. Only with rules can there be order and move in the right direction.
Since it is order, everyone should obey, are you right? "
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!"
"You are young and courageous. You are the kind of person I like. Do you think I can't see the suffering of the people and feel the grievances of the bottom? You only know how to hide in the palace and enjoy the comfort."
"Absolutely not."
"Tell me what you know, and you can correct me if there are any mistakes. In 1492, on July 5, a mysterious incident broke out in Leeds. An evil **** descended, killing 12 people from the three major churches and involving 152 citizens.
A month before this, on June 13th, also at the Leeds Grand Theatre, a mysterious incident broke out in the Red Shoes, killing 3 people and injuring 12. In the end, your uncle Winston Sr. killed the suspect himself. "
"It's amazing, the string of numbers you mentioned, even as an experienced person, I can't remember it."
"Why don't you listen to this string of information, in the whole year of Baia Kingdom last year, 1,245 children died of starvation in Göttinghagen alone, and 3,300 died of epidemic diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera.
This figure is more than 100 times the number of border guards killed in action during the same period, which means that at least 12 citizens die unnaturally every day.
Poor workers can't make money, workers in the dock area are exhausted but can't support a family of three, and even absenteeists in mines risk their lives to be exploited. That's why you want to invent the 'electric light'.
Do you think I don't know this? Why don't I want to change? Is the person sitting on the throne really willing to watch his people die without doing anything? joke.
But what you don't know is that the country's fiscal revenue is tight this year, and it will carry out industrial reforms internally, and produce new fleets to form a navy externally, and beware of enemy attacks at any time.
There is also the new law reform outline submitted by the Prime Minister, which is amazing, but do you know how much it will cost to redistribute?
No matter how I cut it, the cake is only so big, no matter how I do it, no one will be satisfied with my behavior. "
"I was rash, I shouldn't have said that..."
“Since my father took over the country, I no longer have to think about one city and one place.
It's the entire Baia Kingdom. Compared with Ryan and Landis next to us, we still have a gap in military, medical care, food production, education, and all aspects.
But these things can be made up slowly with time. Thirty or fifty years, even if I can't see it before I live, there will be a next generation to inherit my will and let this country continue to flourish.
But your opponent won't wait for you any longer. In a few years, Landis will definitely cross the border, and then he will cede territory to other countries, pay compensation, and limit troops as he did decades ago. A powerful country was again divided into dozens of states.
All I can do is, never let it be ruined in my hands. "
"That's why there is a 'perpetual motion machine'."
"Yeah, it's a great machine, and it's the only technology that can turn defeat into victory. New laws can be changed at any time, but this matter must not be delayed.
Since the people have endured so much pain, I don't think they care a little longer.
Before the ultimate victory comes, some necessary price is worth it. "
"Your Majesty, can you let me check that machine first, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, an answer that can explain everything."
"Anything else is fine, but this one is not. The grand ceremony is coming, and there must be no more mistakes. You will have more opportunities in the future, because after the grand ceremony, I will open a 'perpetual motion machine' factory all over the country and produce a hundred of these machines. machine."
"One hundred?"
"Yes, this is to ensure that there will be no poverty and hunger in every place. Be patient for a while. I believe my people will understand me."
"What if... this invention was a mistake from the start."
"Absolutely impossible, all the processes are witnessed by me, it is impossible to make mistakes, and absolutely must not."
"But…"
"Not so much, but this is my country, Baia's highest will, my people must surrender at my feet, and they must support every decision I make.
So, the decision I made must be right and must be right. "
“I always feel…”
"If anyone insists on singing the naysayer, I will have his head chopped off."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"So, you're bound to come, right?"
"what."
"As the top genius in physics, as a special guest of my grand ceremony, even if there is no invitation, I will voluntarily add applause to this grand ceremony."
"I think...the answer must be 'yes'...I will definitely go."
"Very well, if you don't agree, I will cut off your head just based on what you said just now. Maybe I will feel sorry for a while, because Baia lost such a talent.
But never regret it, never. "
"It seems that my luck is good."
"Son, your wit saved your life, but only once.
Now, Mr. Capet,
Fifteen minutes is up. "
"Tuff Capet resigns."
