Chapter 370 Bad News and Earthquakes

Newham, Imperial Family Naval Academy, in the quiet office of the Vice Principal.

On the wall hangs a bust belonging to contemporary queen Your Majesty Isabella Faletis, behind which is a huge map of the world explored, on a mahogany bookshelf Full of books on geography, politics, economics, armament, literature, art, etc.

Of course, there is also a weapon rack with muskets and various sophisticated cold weapons.

Obviously outside of the Academy Vice Principal, as a Crown Prince, the daily life of Her Royal Highness Livina is also exceptionally fulfilling!

“Well, Lieutenant General Gustav and the East Lunzhi Company moved very quickly. In the absence of relevant foundations in the kingdom and colonies, the first batch of silver ingots have already been produced?

>

Although they only shared the silver mines on Island No. 3 with Sark and Atlan, this year should be enough to make the Minister of Finance of the kingdom a little relieved.

Follow the specific action process Also sent back with a detailed battle report and a blueprint of the battleship?”

No immediate view.

Liweina, who has dealt with administrative affairs for a long time, stretched her waist fiercely in an unladylike manner. The tightened navy uniform outlines the perfect figure of this pinnacle Knight, but unfortunately no one has the privilege of seeing the beauty of Her Royal Highness the Queen at this time.

In order to cultivate the ability of the crown prince, all the information that has been passed back to the royal capital of Becquerel, various documents that require the Queen’s Royal View, and the kingdom’s administrative resolutions will be passed on to Levina as well.

Although these things have already been repeatedly instructed by the Queen and the adults in the royal capital, it is only a passing scene to come to her. But she also needs her advice on how to deal with it, because a lot of teachers are still waiting to approve her “homework”.

Now that there is no rush to hand over power, going through enough experience is obviously the path that any outstanding heir must take!

And the situation of Phalatis is different from that of Cyrus. Although the queen balances the interests of all parties very well, and controls the army and the most high-end extraordinary power with absolute power, it is far from Cyrus. The kind of totalitarianism is still a long way off.

Because the economic base determines the superstructure!

The steam industry, which is now flourishing as a continental example in China, cannot tolerate that kind of political system with excessive concentration of power in an attempt to control and possess everything.

When most people lose their initiative, channels for advancement, and even personal wealth, the country will only be dead, especially in industry and commerce.

So after several adaptive reforms.

It is not so much the noble Queen of Supreme who rules this country as it is a large group of interest groups who share the same ideals and goals with the Queen, but Queen Your Majesty controls most of the armed forces. protect this country.

And Liwena’s performance is of course also being watched by many pairs of eyes, even though she is now the only one legitimate heir.

But if the performance is really unqualified, it may even harm the interests of the ruling class because of lack of ability. Then the rights that belong to her part when the time comes will inevitably be weakened by the members of the Senate who also adopt the hereditary system headed by the great nobles.

This is a political game, unless you want to be a tyrant who rules with martial power, which has nothing to do with who has the bigger fist.

“Hey, sometimes I really envy my eldest sister”

Levina looked out the window at the rejuvenating scenery of the campus, patted her cheeks lightly, and retracted the unfathomable mystery of divergent thoughts, picked up the blueprint.

Just looking at the signature on her face revealed a smile:

“As expected of my Guardian Knight!

The battle in Potosi During the battle, Alwin’s performance was really dazzling.

He was the first to get the information about the silver mine, and blocked the main supply line of Cyrus while hiding himself, and finally completed the breakout of the advance island.

Cyrus, who used the time difference to give the overall strength an advantage, had to compromise and give up part of the interests that belonged to Potosi.

And it didn’t take long for him to succeed. It’s really impressive to be promoted to the official wizard.

Let me think about what to reward him outside of the military?

Higher in ‘Violet Eye’ Mysterious knowledge? Or.”

Because of the status of Alwin Guardian Knight, his military exploits are of course also part of Liweina, and his recent performance is even more fiercely boosted for her. face once.

Even though the finished silver ingots belonging to Silver Mine No. 3 have not been shipped back yet, the accolades received by His Royal Highness recently is nothing short of plentiful.

Even the “rose sword saint”, who has never paid much attention to mundane affairs, expressed his concern for him very rarely. Obviously, he is already “Jane in the heart of the emperor”.

She certainly was in a good mood when she saw Alwin’s name.

Then I looked at the content on the blueprint, the structure of the ship, the principle of transformation, the final firepower configuration of the whole ship, and the performance parameters before I sighed with a complex expression:

“Huh! Alwin didn’t study under the Princeton Principal, and I don’t know who lost it.”

The weapon invention, this thing, can only exert its greatest value when it is in the hands of a large power at the level of the country, and the transformation plan is provided by Alwin and the marine engineer named Walkley Jeffrey did it together, and there was no need to continue to hide it.

He simply dedicated it to his lord, and he was very at ease with Liweina’s style, at least he wouldn’t let himself suffer.

Suddenly.

dong! dong! dong!

“Come in.”

Assistant Linda, who was also dressed in military uniform, pushed in the door and just soaked a pot The black tea and a letter from Eye of Violet were placed on Levina’s table.

“Your Highness, rest for a while, there is just one of your personal letterheads here.”

Put down the blueprint of the heavy cruiser, and pick up the receipt that has been collected by the Witchcraft Association. The letterman sealed the letterhead and pulled out a piece of Biyingying as thin as cicada wing letterhead in surprise.

The slender eyebrows are slightly raised:

“Huh? An expedited letter sent by the ‘Spirit World Messenger’? The letter was sent by Alwin?

The official promotion is not very long, so he already has his own Spirit World messenger?”

After taking a rough look at the stationery, he couldn’t help but let out a chuckle:

“This is. The Overlord Disqualification Plan against Cyrus? Hehe, our Captain Alwin is not rude!”

I knew the letter said when I saw the title Liwena At first, she didn’t pay too much attention to what it was. After all, with her experience and experience at this time, she couldn’t imagine how to completely pull the seemingly invincible Cyrus down from the altar.

Even in the top management of the kingdom, no one could come up with a feasible plan, and Liweina didn’t think a youngster who was only seventeen years old could have a far-sighted vision.

If someone else wrote this thing, even the young Xungui who are known as elites in the royal capital would probably throw them into the trash without even taking a look.

But even if it’s just for the name Alwin, it’s worth taking the time to read this letter, and by the way, write a reply letter to give him some pointers (show it off), what is the continental situation, what is it? It is called strategy, what is the game of great powers, otherwise I will be sorry for the theoretical knowledge I have learned.

In addition, even if I don’t think the plan in the letter is feasible, this guy’s original intention of making plans for the kingdom is something he must resolutely maintain!

However.

Although the paper is thin, the amount of information in it is really a lot, and there is not a single false statement or slogan of unfathomable mystery.

A large section of theoretical analysis and specific solutions, all kinds of data are clearly listed.

With just one glance at the text, Liweina was completely sunk in.

Then, after reading it again and again, the expression on his face is constantly changing.

Wow——

It wasn’t until the pot of tea brought by Linda was almost cold that she suddenly stood up and almost brought the back chair behind her:

“Linda, hurry up! We’re going to the Princeton Principal, I need to use his power to talk to Your Majesty in real time!”

Before walking out of the room, she didn’t forget to take the The blueprint of the battleship.

If this “Overlord Disqualification Plan” can be successfully implemented, perhaps this new type of battleship, which is designed to give up large fleet operations and designed to break wars, will have a very different meaning to the kingdom!

Time flies.

One week later.

Santa Cruz, the capital of Cyrus, the capital of Cyrus, which still retains the festive atmosphere of the previous engagement and ceremony, welcomes a ship that has endured the hardships of a long journey with fiery-red sails battleship.

After “Red Maple” escaped from “Big Vortex”, it did not dare to cross the “Eye of the Black Sea” along the established route, but yawed northward and entered the Trident current. With the help of ocean currents, it returned quickly.

Under normal circumstances, it would take more than two months for the fleet to travel the shortest route through the “Eye of the Black Sea”, and it would take more than a month to travel from the “Eye of the Black Sea”, but the “Red Maple” only It took eight days of trifling.

But they didn’t bring good news to the long-awaited Cyrus executives.

Or it would be more appropriate to bring bad news.

The large fleet loaded with countless gold and silver treasures encountered the incomparable “Great Vortex” Charybdis in the “Eye of the Black Sea”. The whole army was destroyed!

I was shocked to hear this news. From Philip II to the high-level officials of the kingdom, they no longer cared to investigate whether this natural disaster or man-made disaster, let alone the huge loss that was enough to make people vomit blood.

Because of more pressing issues before them.

The destruction of the Jumbo fleet also means that the military spending of this country, which is founded on the army, has almost been wiped out for the next whole year!

And we must do everything possible to make up for it, otherwise the series of chain reactions caused by this is something that no one dares to imagine.

And where can such an astronomical deficit be made up?

Every high-ranking kingdom is on fire!

Meanwhile.

The aftermath of the earthquake has spread far and wide.

Even under strong blockade, the influence of this news is no less than that of a financial tsunami in the modern world.

East to the Peacock Islands and west to the New Continent, traversing the eastern and western boundaries of the world that humans have proven Cyrus Garrison Base
