Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 266 Small Meeting

After settling the matter with the vassal, Purphycott did not continue to retain the five people. After signaling them to leave, she drank tea casually, without caring about the Duke of Gloucester and McClintock. Jazz.

Naturally, these two people would not have any displeasure with Purficott over such a trivial matter. On the contrary, they relaxed in the same attitude and chatted with Purficott while drinking tea.

"Earl Brandless, do you have any plans for your next trip? Sir McClintock and I plan to go to the industrial center in the north to see the planning and construction status there." The Duke of Gloucester asked Purficott asked, and also revealed his next arrangements.

He and Sir McClintock came to the North for the previously arranged factory relocation. This matter involved big businessmen and factory owners from Langton and all aspects of the New World, and it also related to the entire Northern Plan. implementation, so we must pay attention to it.

However, in response to the Duke of Gloucester's inquiry, Purficott just shook his head: "I'm afraid I don't have time to go with you. I'm going to receive the 17th Guards Division next. They are staying in the New World. One winter, it’s time to go north.”

The 17th Guards Division, together with the White Bear Knights, was transferred to the armed forces under Perficott last year. It was also a regiment once controlled by the Brandless family. The current commander, Colonel Richard, is Perficott. Feiket's distant relative is also a direct lineage promoted by Perfectiket's grandfather.

This army should have arrived in the north last year and served under Purficott.

But because the northern border was so poor at that time, there was no suitable place to build a military camp, let alone a fortress to house such an army.

In addition, the weather soon entered winter. At that time, Colonel Richard arrived in the north with only Perfectcott's escort regiment, and this force stayed in the New World for the winter.

After the beginning of spring, they had already started to move north. However, because the entire Guards Division carried a lot of baggage, and they were going north by land, the traveling speed along the way was not very fast.

Otherwise, there would be no need to send out steam knights when Purficott conquered various tribes in the north. The 17th Guards Division would be enough to resolve all battles.

When the Duke of Gloucester heard what Perficott said, he didn't say much. He just nodded and said: "The army is indeed more important, so we won't bother you, Earl Brandlis. You send An official with knowledge of the matter should come with us.

The construction of the industrial system in the north is related to whether the future empire can successfully move to this land. Please understand the importance we attach to it. "

"It doesn't matter, this is what it should be. I just really can't get away, otherwise I would have gone with you." Purficott apologized to the two of them, and then started talking about the doomsday. Disaster: "Speaking of when the empire plans to announce the doomsday disaster to the outside world? Judging from the current situation, these emerging classes in the empire have already gotten a hint of the news, and they have come to me to inquire about the news."

Hearing what Perficott said, the Duke of Gloucester suddenly became nervous. He hurriedly asked: "Earl Brandless, you didn't reveal the news to them, did you?"

"Of course not, am I such a ignorant person?" Purficott waved his hand, but then looked at the Duke of Gloucester seriously: "These people may not really know anything, but there is no such thing as ignorance in the world. The ventilated wall and various practices of the empire are also suspicious, so I hope you, Duke, can raise this matter at the imperial meeting to discuss when the empire should announce the end of the world."

"This is not the time yet..." The Duke of Gloucester has always maintained a cautious attitude towards this matter. He feels that now is not the right time to disclose the apocalyptic disaster to the outside world.

"Of course I know now is not the right time, but the empire must have a complete plan and a complete timetable." Purficott was not prevaricated by the Duke of Gloucester, but asked him rather aggressively. : "We have only two years left. This year I will complete all preparations for the northern border. In the second half of the year, we will begin experimental construction of the first underground shelter. After verifying that there are no problems with the technology and design, the shelter will be fully rolled out next year." The construction of the place.

If the empire's local side cannot form good cooperation, it will bring me a lot of unnecessary trouble and trouble. Then I will have no choice but to announce this information to the outside world.

So has the empire decided when to announce the doomsday crisis? You can't wait until the end, when the cold winter begins to snow, to tell the people that spring will never come, right? "

"Well, that's not the case, that's not the case." The Duke of Gloucester was rendered speechless by Purficott's questioning. After being embarrassed for a while, he said: "There was a discussion on this issue at the Royal Council. But there are still relatively big differences between the old and new aristocrats.

The old aristocrats hope that the news will be announced as late as possible, while the new aristocrats, although they do not agree with their views, do not want this matter to be announced to the outside world too early.

Their main thoughts are..."

"What they think is not important, and I don't care." Purficott interrupted the Duke of Gloucester. Although the expression on her face was still casual, her tone was serious: "The reason why they did this is It's just about their respective interests. This is not what I need to care about. What I want is people! People who can work for me, not these insects who only know how to eat with their corpses!
They don't want their own interests to suffer losses, and I won't care, but if they affect the entire northern border plan, then don't blame me for bloodbathing all the nobles in the imperial capital. "

Purficott's words made the Duke of Gloucester and Sir McClintock lose all color on their faces. They had to rush to appease Purficott's mood and assured her that they would definitely attend the meeting at the Royal Council. Get this moving as soon as possible.

Although they knew that what Purficott said was only a threat, for Purficott, who was now in the hands of the military, she really wanted to bloodbath Langton and kill all the noble cysticerids who affected the northern plan. If so, the military would be happy to hand her the knife.

Especially since Perficott had just destroyed the capitals of three old rivals of the Victorian Empire before, the Duke of Gloucester and Sir McClintock had every reason to believe that Perficott was also capable of destroying Langton.

Therefore, before irritating her, they must try their best to appease Purfict. At the same time, the two of them also made up their minds that after returning to Langton, they would go to the Royal Council to move Purfict out to the old and new aristocrats. pressure.
