in the name of the queen.

Chapter 279 Chess also has two phases

Only by standing on the upper deck of the Endeavor and looking at the billowing black smoke from the huge chimney can you truly feel the industrial beauty.

Stupid, big and black?

Powerful!

The slightly pungent smell of coal smoke spreads in the air, a charming industrial atmosphere.

Roland opened his arms to embrace the blazing new era.

As the governor of Northern Rodinia, he now has a new task: accompanying the new queen back to the imperial capital to take over state power.

Just three months ago, he and the new Queen Sylph went to the underwater city of Petit, attended the old emperor's wedding, negotiated a cooperation intention with the Sea Witch, and brought back countless books from the library.

It could be said that they were very proud of themselves some time ago. They not only solved the problem of Sylph's power legitimacy, but also brought back the survivors of the Fourth Fleet.

The grand occasion when the survivors returned to Hong Kong is still unforgettable.

As a twenty-one-gun salute was fired, the sailors who had been living abroad for nearly two years stepped onto the imperial territory and danced with excitement.

They hugged their comrades wildly and cried in each other's arms.

Even General Bridges, who had always been steady, had tears in his eyes.

Of the more than 30,000 sailors who accompanied the old emperor to sea, only one-tenth came back.

Such heavy losses are extremely rare even in the history of the Imperial Navy.

After returning to Hong Kong, Roland started translating useful books non-stop and presented them in a way of expression that humans are more accustomed to.

His super memory allows him to transform into a human printing machine, constantly reprinting.

Of course, people's energy is limited, and he really doesn't have time to translate a book like the love story between the Poseidon and the Goddess.

After the translation work was completed, he returned to the university and shared his underwater experiences with every student.

As the students shouted "Principal" one after another, he was very proud and once again won many inheritance medals.

After receiving the thirty-sixth inheritance medal, quantitative changes finally accumulated into qualitative changes.

The bottom of Roland's Soul card changed from color to white.

Surprised, then relieved.

This white is not that white.

The bottom surface of the lowest level is pale and feeble white, and the highest level formed by the fusion of colored rays is also white, but as dazzling as the sun.

The bottom of the soul card went through green, blue, purple, gold and other colors, and finally turned back to its original white color. Roland opened his eyes with a smile on his lips.

Seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, seeing a mountain is still a mountain.

The mountain is still the same mountain, but the people are different.

He followed the path of the knowledgeable that countless others had walked, but he was different from them.

While predecessors continued to pursue the breadth and depth of knowledge, he returned to the origin.

The end of knowledge is not only diligent exploration, but also careful thinking.

The knowledge from the two worlds, the extensive knowledge from the elves and the ocean, coupled with the thinking summary that humans are best at, the starting point for ascending to the gods emerged in his mind.

He is still weak, but he will eventually reach the other side.

When Roland raised the scepter again, his movements were calm and gentle, without a trace of fireworks, just like a teacher raising a pointer in class.

But when the scepter falls, his enemies will tremble.

It's time to return to the imperial capital.

Roland's scepter pointed in the direction of the imperial capital.

Different from the confusion when he left, he was no longer confused when he returned.

Fourth Fleet, let’s go!
Standing on the top deck and looking out at the blue sea, Sylph also gained a lot.

Because her father, who died in the shipwreck, was still alive, she finally found her relatives.

Not only that, her father also knowingly and proactively gave up the throne to preserve the relationship between father and daughter, which moved her to tears.

She left quietly without disturbing her father and Edina's married life.

Although there was a small incident at the wedding, the assassin had been caught. Adina had her own idea of ​​what to do next, and she didn't bother to ask.

No group can be so united as to be monolithic.

The combined interests of everyone must exceed the team’s output limit.

Satisfaction never arises in a vacuum but is transferred from one person to another.

She is happy, but some people are not happy.

For example, the cabinet members who are still stubbornly resisting in the imperial capital.

Under Alban's influence, they joined forces to create public opinion and connect with party members in an attempt to prevent her from regaining all power.

This is rebellion.

Some people have to pay a bloody price, some people's political lives are about to end, and some people have no big mistakes and can be forgiven.

Sif had a list in hand.

The first two in red font are Secretary of the Treasury Smith and Secretary of the Navy Winston.

The first two characters in gold font are William and Albon.

The black font is headed by teacher Wald.

Under the royal authority, blood flowed like rivers.

Since there are so many people in the cabinet who oppose her ascension to the throne, it is natural that someone has to pay the price.

Red is the death list.

These cabinet ministers are the type who are extremely angry with the public and would be applauded if they were killed.

Gold is the promotion list.

Needless to say, Alban's acting skills have reached perfection, hiding in the cabinet camp and inducing the rebels to jump out on their own initiative.

Although he is a bit ruthless in amassing money, his shortcomings are nothing to hide, and they are nothing compared to his professional level and political literacy.

Regardless of ability or merit, they must be reused. Prime Minister William, although he often goes against Sif, Sif knows that he is for the national interest.

Of course, also for your own benefit.

She fully understands this. Most of the time, personal interests and national interests do not conflict. If there is a conflict, there is something wrong with the person.

Sif was a bit embarrassed because there was only one prime minister, but there were two suitable candidates.

By continuing to use William, the political situation can be easily stabilized, but the promise to Albon cannot be fully realized.

If Albon is reused, William will have to come down. Progress is easy but regression is hard, can he accept it?

The blacklist is a list of retirees.

If Wald was twenty or ten years younger, Sif would not hesitate to make him Prime Minister. Unfortunately, he is already over seventy years old and his energy is far less than before.

There is no doubt about the teacher's ability and loyalty, but he should go home and enjoy his old age in peace.

Retiring Wald also has the advantage of making it easier to force others to retire.

Even the Imperial Master can retire, why do you hang on?

There are only so many positions in the cabinet. Except for a few people in the previous cabinet who were qualified, the others were not qualified in Sif's eyes.

The loyal ministers who follow her in the four overseas provinces must be properly arranged, at least a few should be arranged in the cabinet.

Tony, Athos and others have outstanding abilities and impeccable loyalty. They are her team members.

While Sif was lost in thought, Roland appeared in front of her.

"What are you thinking about? Are you a little worried about going home soon?"

"That's not true. I feel at ease with you."

Sif looked at Roland with a smile, looking at his concerned eyes, her heart warmed slightly, and she sighed with some distress: "It would be great if you were willing to be the Prime Minister, I can trust you with the power."

"That won't work. I'm too young to convince the public." Roland refused seriously.

Are you kidding me? The Prime Minister of the world's largest empire is not easy to do at all.

Just balancing the distribution of interests among various internal factions makes one's head bald.

He didn't want to die young.

Roland's excuse was beautiful, but Sif knew him too well and knew he was lazy.

She couldn't help but resort to coquettish tactics, "But I really need you."

"So I am still the leader of the White Rose Knights and your loyal guardian." Roland's reasons are always impeccable.

Sif bit her lip and gave up reluctantly.

Roland was right, the Knights of the White Rose were no less important than the Prime Minister.

If the prime minister is chosen wrongly, there is still a chance to make amends. If there is a problem with the leader of the Royal Knights, someone will really die.

The prime minister is a foreign minister, and the leader of the knights is an internal minister. He is closer to her, and Roland is indeed more suitable to be the leader of the knights.

Anyway, it is the treatment of a high-ranking official, so Roland will not be wronged.

Although she could understand Roland's reasons for not becoming prime minister, Sif was not willing to let him go so easily.

"Apart from being the prime minister, you wouldn't refuse anything else, right?"

"At your service, my lady!" Roland responded with the most standard knightly etiquette.

Sif looked at him with a smile and threw away the most troublesome question.

"Roland, look at this list."

Roland took the list and knew the whereabouts of these people without explanation. He was a little confused. He also participated in the discussion of this list. Are there any questions?

"There is nothing wrong with this list."

"Everything else is easy to say except William and Albon. They are both excellent candidates for prime minister. It is not appropriate for anyone to be wronged."

Sif pointed at these two golden names with her slender bare hands and sighed again.

"Who do you prefer in your heart?"

In Roland's opinion, both of them are suitable, but neither is completely suitable. Using William is for stability, and using Albon is to show the new emperor's demeanor. They are both high-scoring options.

As long as Wald doesn't die from exhaustion at his job, that's fine.

No matter who Sif named, he could make up a reasonable excuse.

However, Sif will always bring surprises. She said with some distress: "I think both of them are fine. What if I want to use both?"

Roland was silent for a few seconds, clapped his hands lightly, and said with a smile:

"Simple, just set up a left and right prime minister, divide the prime minister's powers into two, and let them take charge according to their respective areas of expertise."

Chess also has two phases, so there is nothing wrong with setting the left and right phases.

Roland's suggestion caused Sif's brain to shut down and she couldn't react for a long time.

After all, the major countries in Rodinia did not do this.

Either the emperor controls the power, or the president/prime minister controls the government, which emphasizes centralization of power.

Setting the left and right phases will inevitably restrict each other. Is it really appropriate?

When Sif raised the question, Roland smiled and explained: "Of course it is appropriate. The real power must be in your hands, and the left and right ministers are just your assistants."

"As a monarch, you have to worry about ministers not being united enough, but also worrying that they are too united. It is a good thing for the left and right to share power."

Although it was a new system that she had never heard of before, since it was proposed by Roland, she would certainly not object.

Thinking of the dozen cabinet members who signed a petition against her ascension to the throne overseas a few months ago, Sif knew that Roland was right.

Sif's brain was spinning rapidly, and she had already begun to think about how to allocate the authority of the left and right prime ministers so that they could exercise checks and balances without affecting their work.

Seeing her thinking seriously, the smile on Roland's lips grew wider.

Cabinet gentlemen who are far away in the imperial capital, the Sif in your impressions has disappeared.

Hope you are ready for the surprise.
