I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 253

"November 10, 101, the saint's calendar, sunny.

Despite some jarring noise like the Harrods Foundation, the day-to-day work at Moby Dick is finally back on track.

Relying on the wise guidance of Lord Anson Bach and the concerted efforts of all forces, various reforms are already in the pipeline, the guidelines have changed from what they used to be, a new concept of development has been established, the social structure has made great progress, and the geopolitical outlook has also changed. Refreshed.

As an insignificant, lowly clerk, I (Alan Dawn) are deeply saddened that the ignorant cannot see what Lord Anson has accomplished.

Their shallow wisdom obviously could not understand what the friendly relations between the Free Confederation and Beluga Harbor meant, what impact the New World Corporation would have on the colony, and how much the appearance of the Shooting Army would save the pioneering movement that was about to end, the native How important and irreplaceable support is to Ice Dragon Fjord.

They don't understand, they can only think of themselves.

Although these people are so selfish, Lord Ansen Bach has not given up on their plans, and actively tries to cooperate with them to jointly build the land of hope in the Ice Dragon Fjord.

The most important issue at the moment is the upcoming local messenger and the business negotiator of the Roland family.

During my short tenure and still promising career, 'hosting guests' was the most important and toughest test of any job.

It seems simple, but in fact it is killing every step of the way... It is necessary to let the other party see their own strength and establish their confidence, but not to overestimate them and make themselves unable to come down from the stage; not only to make the guests feel at home, but also not to be the leader of all this. .

Of course, with adequate preparation, a perfect plan and methodical execution, most problems can be solved in the beginning.

But when there are more than one guest, or more than one group of people, the problem will become more difficult.

And the peak of this difficulty is to prepare a table of meals, but there are two groups of guests..."

"On behalf of all the people of Beluga Harbour and Ice Dragon Fjord, I would like to extend my most sincere blessings to His Majesty Carlos, Governor Sophia Franz, and all the adults in the Privy Council. May the Ring of Order bless the Royal Family of Osteria. The country will last forever!"

At the port of Beluga Harbor, Anson, who was smiling, held the round hands of Baron Aix very cordially. From the inside to the outside, he was full of unparalleled sincerity to this nominal "governor's messenger".

A tall silk top hat, a close-fitting black tuxedo, sparse hair and a head that can't see the neck and eyes. At first glance, it looks like a snowman with long legs - the most standard Clovis upper-class appearance.

Behind him, there were several middle-aged men dressed similarly, so fat that it was difficult to even open their eyes, and they had to rely on a cane to walk. They formed this "messenger group" surrounded by the Royal Navy.

"Where, the commander-in-chief is too polite." Baron Aix, who was smoking a pipe, responded enthusiastically, and squeezed two or three irregular crescents on his face:

"It's an honor to be able to receive your warm welcome and see with your own eyes the hero who defeated 50,000 imperial troops and single-handedly led to the establishment of the Free Confederation!"

Alas, fifty thousand?

The total number of counter-insurgent troops under Bernard Morwes is less than 10,000 people, even if the servant army he recruited later, together with the rebels in Yangfan City, add up to less than 20,000 people.

Where did the remaining 30,000 "ghost warriors" come from?

Seeing that Baron Aix's expression did not seem to be deliberately flattering, Anson's smile froze slightly, and the corner of his eye glanced at William Cecil in the messenger group behind Baron Aix.

Compared with the others, the Navy Colonel with the lowest status and the youngest age in the embassy does not look like a species; his tall and straight body is complemented by a dark blue double-breasted trench coat, making him even more slender and tall. Stand out from the crowd - literally.

Feeling a familiar sight, the expressionless William Cecil covered his body for a while, and then silently shifted his attention to another direction.

So Anson understood everything.

He is not completely ignorant of some of the "rumours" about himself in Clovis City and the thriving media career of a certain Governor-General; It will be ignored by the army, and the entire period of the vast land war will almost blow the storm division into the sky.

Now she is the Governor of the Colony - albeit an honorary one - and she has become her subordinate - only in name - magnifying the storm division's credit in the colony, describing the situation a little more dangerous, and then A small increase in the number of enemies... is also excusable.

It's just an exaggeration to expand from 10,000 people to 50,000 people... Anson suddenly had some bad hunch.

Just as he was uneasy, Baron Aix patted his fat belly in front of him: "Not only has he achieved admirable achievements on the battlefield, but it has also greatly promoted the development of the colonial economy. It is a great achievement!"

"I heard about the changes in the colony from Governor Franz when I set off, and learned a lot from Colonel Cecil along the way, but I was still shocked after seeing it with my own eyes. The world can be so prosperous."

"It seems that the decision of the royal family and the Privy Council is indeed a good one. It is an extremely correct decision to appoint you to the colony. Only a young officer like you, full of energy and ideas, and loyal to the royal family, can make the already precarious colony look new!"

"No no no... You are really rude." An Sen said with a smile: "I just follow the king's order, and with the strong support of the country, I can do my best to complete my mission."

The excessive enthusiasm of the other party made him a little bit overwhelmed, and he really didn't understand where the Baron Aix, who had met for the first time, had such a good impression of him.

It stands to reason that since the other party is here on behalf of the royal family, even if he wants to "appease" himself, he should remain quite decent, and he will never be so polite.

"On the contrary, I feel that the native cares for you very little, or even not at all." Baron Aix's expression became serious, and his expression suddenly became a little serious:

"Although this may affect the interests of some people, I still have to say - those evil insects of the Army, it is so unfair to treat you and the Storm Division!"

Um?

Looking at the appearance of the "governor's messenger" righteous words, not only An Sen, but also the officers of the Storm Division officers who came to greet him were all stunned, completely ignorant of what he was going to do.

And Baron Aix didn't seem to notice the expressions of everyone, and continued to talk: "Conquering the vast land, resisting the expedition, and saving the Elven Kingdom of Iser... You and the officers of the entire Storm Division have done it. So many contributions have almost single-handedly changed the geographical relationship of the entire southwest of the kingdom, and turned the entire war situation around."

"You're welcome to say, if such an achievement is replaced by any wealthy blood relative, it is enough to easily get a brigadier general or even the rank of a major general! And you...to this day, you are still only a colonel, and there are many outstanding young talents. We, the highest is not even a lieutenant colonel, or even the rank of major, but the achievements made are enough to make many lieutenant generals on the western front of the mainland feel ashamed!"

"Not being able to judge merits and deeds, not being able to do meritocracy, this is the greatest shame of Clovis who founded his country with an army!"

"When I was in the Privy Council, I had repeatedly proposed to the Army to send reinforcements to the colonies; at the very least, they should also support some baggage and armaments, replenishing soldiers and so on... But I was repeatedly obstructed by the army's insects!"

"The form of the native land is more severe, the colony only needs to maintain the status quo, and the 5,000-strong military force is the limit... It's all refusal! They just don't want to see you, they just don't want to see you, to see you build bigger and more remarkable feats, let the They lose face in front of the royal family - you say, isn't that so!"

"That's right, those army generals in the staff are all helpers who are jealous!"

"Compared with the interests of the royal family and the country, those scumbags only know how to care about their own power!"

"Yes, yes... I have long suggested that the army should be reorganized, and more young officers from the lower ranks should be promoted!"

...Under the strong encouragement of Baron Aix, the members of the envoys began to curse at the army, accusing them in every possible way. The officers of the Storm Division were both excited and frightened. They didn't know what these people were trying to do. .

An Sen had to laugh with him the whole time, trying not to say a word, so as not to be caught by the opponent's routine.

After almost 90 minutes of a hearty "Criticism of the Army Conference", it seems that Baron Aix, who was finally tired, is finally not so excited. Go to the prepared banquet scene.

Anson, whose face was completely stiff, was finally able to relax a little, looking for an opportunity to stop William Cecil, who was following the crowd, and deliberately walked at the end of the line.

"What exactly is going on?"

As for this already familiar naval colonel, Anson went straight to the point: "Isn't he sent by the royal family and the Privy Council to supervise the storm division and the taxation of the colony... What is he trying to do?"

"I don't know." William Cecil's face was innocent: "I was only ordered to send them here from North Harbor to ensure their safe travel... Maybe I want to get closer to you, the actual ruler of the colony? "

"I really don't know?" Anson raised his eyebrows.

"real!"

"Haven't you heard even the slightest sound of the wind?"

"no!"

"It took more than a month from Beigang to Ice Dragon Fjord, and I didn't even hear their private conversation?"

"No, I'm not good at this!" William swore:

"Indeed, I can swear to the Ring of Order."

Anson raised his head, met his eyes that were also full of sincerity, and fell into silence.

After a long time, as if he had finally given up, he shook his head again and sighed:

"Well, since even you don't know, it seems that the Cecil family doesn't plan to participate in colonial affairs this time, so I can only..."

"Wait a moment!"

William quickly opened his mouth to steal, his expression was still so sincere: "I seem to remember something!"

"real?"

"real!"

"It's not a mistake, is it?"

"Absolutely not!"

"But I remember that you are not good at this. Could it be that they were deceived?"

"I……"

The captain of the navy was at a loss for words. He pursed the corners of his mouth, and his expression was a little helpless: "You just want to hear me apologize to you, right?"

"No, no... how is it possible, we are friends." The corners of An Sen's mouth began to rise slightly:

"Friends don't cheat and hide from each other, right?"

"Yes……"

William rolled his eyes helplessly: "But you have to promise that you will never reveal it, let alone let them find out that I told you - privately leaking secrets is comparable to treason in the eyes of the Privy Council!"

"Don't worry, absolutely not." Anson waved his hand, his expression became more and more playful: "I will make them believe that I know it from other channels."

The corner of the Navy Colonel's mouth twitched, and his mood was extremely complicated.

"The envoy...or the reason why Baron Aix is so enthusiastic is actually very simple, because of the ownership of the legendary coal mine bank." William said helplessly:

"If nothing else, this bank will soon have the title of a royal family."

"Royal family?" An Sen looked startled:

"Isn't this a joint-stock bank, and it was initiated by Sophia Franz in the name of the Governor of Ice Dragon Fjord. What does it have to do with the royal family?"

"It's very simple, because it can really make money." William shrugged:

"In the beginning, only some ordinary wealthy businessmen and giants of Clovis City were involved~www.mtlnovel.com~ But our Governor Sophia was so powerful that he even got the investment from the Northern Chamber of Commerce-of course you must already know about this. already."

"This incident has caused quite a stir in Clovis City, plus the Rune family has entered the colony, you have defeated the Empire's '50,000 army' and turned the colony into a free confederation... Since it is so Can make money, and the colony seems to be temporarily safe now, the royal family is ready to bring this bank under its command."

"If there is no accident, that Baron Aix is the first head of the bank appointed by the royal family, a colleague who is nominally equal to you in the future, and will be responsible for the taxation and trade of the colony... Why did he want to please you? ?"

"what?!"

The stunned Anson was about to say something when a rapid bell rang suddenly over the port.

The two who stopped at the same time looked behind them subconsciously, and saw that several gorgeous multi-masted sailboats suddenly appeared on the azure sea, heading towards Beluga Harbor.

On the sails that are bulging in the wind, the logo of golden irises is also drawn.
