Age of Arcane

Chapter 331 Appreciation from the Empress

At this time, the eldest prince Fania was like a crazy fighting cock. He stood up and glared at Queen Christina, without any regard for the current occasion and the identities of the two parties.

The news from the western region greatly stimulated Fania.

Although the second prince Alec did not get the first credit for the nobles of the Western Region who offered their pledge of loyalty, after all, he supervised the strategy of the Western Region, and he will definitely take a considerable part of the credit.

In contrast, the southern line and the northern border.

The battle against the Tedgar Hills on the southern front was still stalemate. General Josue launched a second round of offensive against the Barbarian Legion, but still encountered complete resistance and failed to achieve a good record.

The northern border keeps sending alarms every day, and the border of the United Chenbing in Yate County may invade at any time.The northern defenders are not optimistic about the war game. There are too many recruits and there is a shortage of supplies.

It is not an easy task for two powerful enemies to press on Fania's head.

Now that there is no pressure on the Western Region, Alec and the Western Region Legion formed by him have become an army that can be mobilized.No matter whether he went north, south, or came to the imperial capital, Fania always felt like a thorn in his back.

And at this time when people were most anxious to get angry, there were rumors in the court that "His Majesty has passed away, and the Empress will keep her funeral secret".How can we not let Fania hurry up and even try to break into the emperor's palace.

He has fought for the throne for half his life, and at this critical moment, he must not let the throne slip past his eyes!

Facing the runaway eldest prince, no one spoke at the meeting.What Fania asked was what everyone wanted to know, but no one except Fania dared to ask.

Outside the protective cover, the palace guards noticed that the eldest prince was endangering the empress, so they put their hands on the hilt of the sword together, and took a step forward with their right feet to protect the empress at any time.

Queen Christina's expression did not change because of Fania's persecution.

"Letting me handle government affairs on your behalf is an order from His Majesty to the cabinet here, what do you want me to explain?
Your Majesty rests and does not want to see anyone other than me. This is also an order His Majesty gave to the servants in the palace before resting. What do you want me to explain?
Fania, you are just a prince, not a crown prince!And I am the queen of the Golden Shield Empire!
What kind of attitude are you talking to me! "

"You must be using magic..."

When Fania was about to accuse Empress Christina, Agatha stopped her: "Brother, please pay attention to your identity and the current occasion. Regarding the health of the emperor, my family can close the door." Get up and talk slowly.

This is the imperial cabinet meeting. The queen mother represents our monarch. You should give her due respect and let the meeting return to its proper agenda. "

Fania looked at the people on the conference table, all eyes were averted, apparently they did not want to participate in the siege of the queen.

Even meteors...

Fania saw the wink from Meteor and the gesture of calming down the matter.

The helpless Fania could only use the slope to get off the donkey, and said angrily: "Agatha is right, this is our family matter and should not be discussed at the cabinet meeting. I will definitely clarify the matter when the meeting is over!" "

Fania uttered harsh words and sat back in her seat, but her breath was still hard to calm down.

The palace guards also put down their guard.

The meeting room became quiet.

"Where did you just say?" Queen Christina didn't look at Nia, she thought for a while and said to Luke: "Yes, Governor Meteor, we are all looking forward to how you create another legend in the Western Region."

After a turmoil, the meeting continued, and Luke picked out the important measures he had arranged in the Western Territory.

"Disintegrate the exploitation system of the western aristocrats on the western barbarians, open up the trade channel between the empire and the western region, and the moonlight royal court threatens the survival of the western territory, the western aristocrats can only move closer to the empire.

The railway became the lifeline of the nobles in the western region, and also the main artery through which the empire influenced the western region. "

"It's really wonderful!" Queen Christina couldn't help applauding after listening to Luke's narration: "The problems that plagued the emperors of the empire have been solved so easily by you. The empire has a young minister like you. Fortunately for the Empire.

I also heard that you are the chief minister appointed by Her Majesty the Queen of the Moonlight Court, responsible for all external affairs of the Moonlight Court? "

Everyone at the cabinet meeting looked at Luke.

Compared with the aristocratic surrender of the Western Region, the revival of the World Tree and the establishment of the Moonlight Royal Court have greater long-term influence, and they are events that can cause a sensation in the world.

How to formulate a strategy for the relationship with the Moonlight Royal Court is a matter of concern to all the ministers of the imperial cabinet.

And Meteor, as the governor of Raging Waves City, also serves as the chief assistant of the Moonlight Royal Court, his identity and status have become more subtle.

Luke replied: "The Fairy Clear Sky came from the grasslands of the ancestors. It is a fierce battle song to protect the remains of the World Tree for generations. She left the West to travel in order to find a way to revive the World Tree.

This time the World Tree revived, Qing Kong inherited the power of the previous generation World Tree, which was completely unexpected to me.

Everyone knows that Qingkong is a scholar and has no great interest in managing the country. She even returned to the imperial capital soon to continue managing the St. Lun City Branch of Oulu College.

She appointed me as the chief minister of the Queen of the Moonlight Court just to shirk responsibility.

World Tree only pays without asking, and the queen is obsessed with academic research, so the Moonlight Court is not aggressive and can coexist peacefully with the empire. "

Most of the people at the meeting heard the news that Qingkong was coming to Saint Lun City for the first time.And she let the queen not do it, but she still wants to continue teaching. Could it be that the supreme power is something she dismisses?
Queen Christina was obviously also shocked by the news.

"Her Majesty is really admirable! I also like reading books very much, but the state affairs imposed on me these days have made me read a lot less. I am looking forward to the moment of meeting Her Majesty. I think we are sure academically. There is a lot of common language.

But now, I must fulfill the duties entrusted to me by His Majesty, and manage the empire well while he is recuperating.

Since the Moonlight Royal Court has a good relationship with the empire, and the nobles of the western region have joined the empire, there is no need for the empire to maintain a large army in the western region.I heard that the West Territory Legion organized by Prince Alec has a good combat effectiveness...

Governor Meteor, do you think we should send the Western Territory Legion to support the Southern Front War, or transfer to the Northern Territory to resist the upcoming invasion of the Art County United? "

Queen Christina's question made the meeting enter an unusually weird atmosphere.

Luke also wondered why Christina would ask such a question to himself.

I'm just the governor of Raging Waves City!

You ask about the situation in the eastern sea area and the civil war in Leo Kingdom, I can still talk about it, but this kind of thing...

Shouldn't you ask Gabriel, the chief assistant first?
Sure enough, the chief assistant Gabriel's complexion was very bad at this time.Even though Queen Christina's question was difficult to answer, she skipped herself to ask Meteor, who was not even a cabinet minister, and she was simply humiliating herself in front of everyone in the conference room.

And what is the meaning behind this question?
Could it be that the queen wants to push Meteor into the cabinet!

Although Gabriel knew that according to the current momentum of Meteor, he would definitely enter the cabinet in the future, and then quickly be promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet.But he didn't expect this day to come so soon, and the big wave that came up was going to shoot himself directly on the beach!

Is this His Majesty's intention, or is the Empress making her own claim?

Gabriel couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to show his head to overwhelm the meteor's light when the meteor came back with a big victory in the western region.

Gabriel quickly stabilized his emotions and hinted to other cabinet ministers not to stand out.

Everyone was waiting for Meteor's answer, and Fania kept winking at Meteor.

At this point Luke had a headache.

After finally getting out of the court struggle, he ran back to Raging Waves City thinking about finishing his duty report.Who would have thought that when he was about to pat his ass and leave, he would be pushed and dragged into the game by Christina.

Thinking about the beginning of the meeting until now, except for Fania who was in the limelight at the very beginning, Christina led the rest of the time to focus the meeting on herself.

Could it be... One emperor and one courtier.

Christina's move is to win me over, and prepare to quickly disband Gabriel's cabinet when necessary, and I will form a cabinet to support her in proclaiming emperor!
Luke looked at Queen Christina, her blue eyes were extremely charming, as if to tell her admiration for him.

"I don't think it's appropriate for the Western Territory Legion to go to the northern border or the southern front now."

Queen Christina ignored all the cabinet officials at this time and only had Luke in her eyes: "Why?"

Now that he was speaking, Luxor boldly spoke up.

"The war on the southern front has always been in charge of General Joshul. Although the Tedgar Hills have not yet achieved a decisive victory, the imperial army has maintained an offensive and continued to put pressure on the Duke of Celtic.

If Prince Alec leads the Western Region Legion to support the southern front, there will be a dilemma of who the army should listen to.Once they have differences in command, they are very likely to be seized by the barbarian army.

As for the North...

The northern border will soon enter winter, and the steam mechanical technology that Art County United is good at can give full play to its great advantages.Facing large-scale steam fortresses on the open and frozen soil, the empire can only rely on fortresses and a small number of mobile steam fortresses for defense.

In order to adapt to desert operations, the Western Region Legion pays more attention to the use of cavalry.In the defensive battle of the northern border in winter, it is difficult for cavalry to play a role, and there will be a large loss of personnel due to frostbite. "

Queen Christina nodded and said: "My knowledge of the military is very limited, thank you Governor Meteor for your guidance.

It's just that it's too wasteful for Alec's Western Territory Legion to be placed in the New Moon Oasis.It's better to transfer the Western Territory Legion to the vicinity of the imperial capital, as the general reserve force for war, for reequipment and adaptation training. "

Luke vetoed it: "The Legion of the Western Region is a frontier army. If it is transferred to the imperial capital during the war, it will definitely cause panic. Moreover, the Legion of the Western Region has just completed its reorganization, and its military discipline still retains the characteristics of the Western Region. The soldiers inside will definitely appear when they see the wealth of the imperial capital. looting.

If Her Royal Highness does not want the Western Territory Legion to waste the empire's supplies and have nothing to do, you can order the Western Territory Legion to reduce its size. "

Queen Christina asked with great interest: "Talk about your thoughts."

"If the empire wants the long-term stability of the western region, it needs to develop the western region, and the development of the western region requires a lot of labor. Because the western region legion has to guard against the nobles of the western region, the entire legion system is actually very bloated, with a large number of camel teams and logistics personnel filling it. very backward.

I think that the Western Territory Legion can downsize and streamline its personnel, reorganize soldiers who are not suitable for combat into a construction corps, and invest in the construction of western border railways and roads.

The remaining elite was reorganized into a rapid multi-purpose response army, and at the same time, a large military training and exercise base was built in the Crescent Oasis.After systematic training and supplemented with special weapons and equipment, the new Western Legion can quickly arrive and fight quickly no matter which direction they need support. "

Christina loved the way Luke looked at him even more.

She raised this question to give Luke a chance to perform and pave the way for his promotion to the cabinet.Because how to deal with the Western Territory Legion is a big problem for the court.Everyone knew that at this time, it was not appropriate for the Western Territory Legion to go anywhere, but they needed to find a suitable reason for the Western Territory Legion to stay where they were.

Meteor's answer perfectly explained why the Western Territory Legion can't go anywhere now, and gave a reasonable and proper solution to stay where they are.

And this program is so novel and convincing.

Queen Christina is even more determined to win over Meteor, kick out Gabriel and those old guys, and renew a vigorous and enterprising cabinet.

These old people in the court are all like Augustine...old and confused, they know nothing but infighting, and they cling to power and don't let go.

Time to make way for the youth!

"The idea of ​​streamlining the Western Territory Legion is very good! Gabriel..."

Hearing the queen calling him, Gabriel immediately cheered up and replied: "Your Highness, what is your order?"

"The cabinet will formulate a reorganization plan for the new Western Territory Corps and the Western Territory Construction Corps, and I will give it to me at the next cabinet meeting. Start the construction of the Western Territory Railway as soon as possible, and build a large training and exercise base in the New Moon Oasis by the way.

Order the military staff to communicate with Prince Alec so that he understands that streamlining the Western Territory Legion will not weaken the combat effectiveness of the New Western Territory Legion, but can greatly increase it.

The Military Engineering Department has cooperated with the dressing and training of the New West Frontier Corps. "

Gabriel replied respectfully: "Of course, Your Highness the Queen!"

Christina then asked Luke again: "The empire on the southern front is on the offensive, and General Joshua's military ability reassures me. But facing the United of Art County in the north, the empire is at a very disadvantaged position, and there is no one The General who put me at ease commands the newly replenished Army of the North.

Do you have any suitable candidates? "

Luke vomited in his heart... Why do you ask me this?
Such a big empire, can't pick a general who can defend the northern border!
Look at those cabinet ministers, their eyes are as sharp as steel swords, and they want to pierce the governor's heart with ten thousand swords.

"The Northern War is a fortress defense battle. I think that for the recruits who are added to the Northern Legion, what they need most is a commander who can improve morale, and then this commander needs to have a good understanding of northern warfare.

Candidates... I propose His Royal Highness the grandson Sinclair. "
