After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

"How could the lady be wrong? It's all Celia's fault~"

"It must be that Seria didn't take good care of the young lady, so that the young lady had the idea of ​​finding a new person from outside to replace Celia~"

"It's really inappropriate. I was compared to a wild woman who didn't know where it came from. It seems that Celia still has to work hard......"

"No, no, it's not like this!" At this moment, after hearing Celia's words, Katerina finally realized where she was "wrong", and hurriedly explained,

"Seria, you misunderstood, I really never thought about finding someone to replace you."

"I just thought that the little girl was pitiful and sensible, so I wanted to comfort her a little bit. As for replacing you, it's impossible!"

"You take good care of me. I don't know how to live without you. I thought about keeping you by my side for the rest of my life!"

After listening to Katerina's explanation, Celia, who maintained a perfect maid posture, lowered her head slightly, and her drooping bangs concealed the corners of her mouth quietly,

"Miss, are you serious?"

"Of course, I can swear!" Seeing that Celia's attitude was warming up, Katerina was afraid that something would happen again, so she quickly swore and made a promise.

"That's it..." Seeing Katerina's sincere attitude, Celia finally had a smile on her face as if she had achieved her goal.

"Well then, Miss, Celia has already received your will. At the same time, Celia is willing to assure Miss that she will definitely be by Miss's side in this life."

After finishing speaking, I saw the maid walking steadily in front of Katerina, and then picked up the coffee that was just placed on the table,

"Miss, please wait for a while, I will pour you a cup of coffee~"

"But..." At this moment, facing Celia's sudden action, after glancing at the untouched cup of coffee, Katerina felt something was wrong, shrunk her head carefully asked,

"Seria, isn't this cup of coffee still full?"

"Miss, you're joking~" Seria tilted her head and smiled leisurely at Katerina's question.

"It's autumn now, the weather is so cold, of course you should drink hot coffee, cold coffee will hurt your stomach at this time..."

After finishing speaking, Celia walked out of the room with the coffee, leaving only Katerina a leisurely back.

In this regard, Katerina, who was not lightly tossed, couldn't help but pouted her mouth, and then sighed helplessly.

Although she is also a daughter in this life, Katerina, who has solidified the soul of a straight man, still finds it difficult to understand what the women around her are thinking.

Fortunately, Celia's problem has now been resolved, and Katerina can finally concentrate on her official duties. After turning her attention to the documents in her hand, the girl's face quickly darkened.

The content in the document is a description of conscription matters. After Katerina formulated an independent development model for Chris Port, the development of the military power in her hands became the next top priority.

As a time traveler from the Celestial Dynasty, Katerina, who has decent historical achievements, knows very well that if there is no strong military strength to support it, no matter how good the economy is, it will be a waste of work. It is making wedding clothes for others. Only with a strong army can we maintain our own development achievements.

As for the empire that just signed an alliance agreement with Chrisport, Katerina never counted on them. In the eyes of the girl, the empire's army is not credible, and even at certain times, the existence of the empire's army is more important than the nominal enemy. Danger is an existence that needs to be guarded at any time.

Therefore, a military force capable of deterring all parties is indispensable for Katerina.

But now, the conscription plan led by Katerina has run into trouble, big trouble......

Chapter 96 93. Countermeasures

There is a big difference between agricultural civilization and industrial civilization in terms of strength. Katerina knows this, but what Katerina doesn't know is that there is also a big difference between agricultural civilization and agricultural civilization.

Influenced by the history of the previous Celestial Dynasty, in Katerina's cognition, it seems that the recruitment of the ancient army is quite easy. It seems that only one order is needed, and tens of thousands of people can be summoned casually.

I really don’t blame Katerina for this kind of cognition. After all, those well-known classic ancient wars of the Chinese Dynasty are basically large-scale wars with tens of thousands of people each, so that in the hearts of most Chinese people If it does not reach the level of a few hundred thousand people, it is not a war at all, it can only be called a fighting.

However, this is not the case. First of all, for most countries in the ancient times of Blue Star, the war between tens of thousands of people is already a large-scale war that can be remembered by history. War will also make some countries relish.As for the wars of tens of thousands of people in the ancient Chinese dynasty, this matter itself is abnormal. Not every country can achieve such super-standard mobilization capabilities.

Secondly, even in the ancient Chinese dynasties, super team battles between tens of thousands of people were not common and should not be regarded as the norm.

But unfortunately, Katerina was just a small civil servant in her previous life, and she didn't know much about these military knowledge. Her military knowledge basically came from various film and television works, and the directors who filmed those film and television works themselves were right. I don’t know much about the military, and I have to artistically process the military knowledge I know when shooting. In this way, the filmed works will inevitably be extremely misleading, and the audience will form a wrong perception of the military concept. .

And it was under such a misunderstanding that Katerina made a fool of the recruitment policy. She thought that as long as she posted a call-up order, batches of soldiers would automatically walk into the barracks and quickly go into training. , were eventually integrated into a branch of elite.

But in fact, today, several months after the conscription order was issued, most of the barracks that have been built long ago are still open areas, and no one has settled in at all.

You know, if it wasn't for the nobles under her command to stop it with all her strength, Katerina planned to recruit 5000 troops at the beginning, and then continued to expand. As a result, it seems that, let alone a [-] army, even a [-]-strong army would Difficult to muster.

This miserable situation made Katerina a little dumbfounded for a while, but fortunately, girls are not people who can't stand setbacks, and the education of the Chinese Red Party has long made her develop a good habit... ... When you have a problem, find out what the problem is first, and then find a way to solve it.

After realizing that her cognition did not conform to the current actual situation, Katerina immediately started a series of investigations down-to-earth. After the investigation, the girl found that her previous policy was very unrealistic.

First of all, with the current backward political and military system of the Kingdom of Florida, unless the lads are forced to recruit serf soldiers at the cost of completely destroying the territorial economy, there is no way to quickly recruit a standing army of more than 1 in a short period of time mobilization ability.

Secondly, due to the consistent Buddhist performance of the Kingdom of Florida in the past and the tragic endings of several foreign wars in history, the domestic people's desire to join the army is very low, and it is difficult to attract them with normal military benefits. to those who voluntarily join the military.

Finally, and most importantly, under the mechanism of the current agricultural society, the population of various noble territories is almost locked in the land, and cannot be circulated at all. However, the population size in the territory actually controlled by the girl is fundamentally supported. Can't afford large-scale army recruitment, after all, the Kingdom of Florida has never been a country where all the people are soldiers.

Obviously, if these constraints cannot be resolved, Katerina's desire to recruit troops on a large scale will always be a mirage, out of reach.

"Ah~~"

After a long silence, there was a sigh in the room. The girl sitting at the desk supported her head with her wrists, looking at the documents in front of her with a troubled face.

At present, the factors that restrict the large-scale recruitment of the army have been identified, but Katerina still has no idea how to solve the problem.

There is no way, under the general environment at this time, the objective conditions limit the policy space to death, and there is not much room for maneuver. Even if Katerina has the knowledge of the previous life, she is also helpless in the face of the current predicament.

However, Katerina is not the kind of person who will give up casually when encountering difficulties. Although it is very difficult to complete the army recruitment, the girl still stubbornly intends to continue to find a solution.

Because the compulsory education in the red country in the previous life told the girl very clearly that if you want to promote the change of the world, you will inevitably touch the old beneficiary class. If you don’t have a strong armed force, then all efforts will be like a beach The castle, when a wave hits it, there is nothing left.

Therefore, no matter what, Katerina will carry out the decree of army recruitment.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

At this moment, after patting her cheek, Katerina regained her spirits, and looked at the document in front of her again, but this time, the girl began to pay more attention to those recorded in the document, those under her command Advice from the nobles for their own policies.

Although she has been acting like a dictator on weekdays, Katerina is not a self-willed person. The reason why she didn't listen to other people's opinions before is that few people can understand the girl's political purpose, and most of the problems The optimal solution has always been in the hands of the girl.

But now, when Katerina finds that her previous life experience is no longer suitable for this world, she doesn't mind seeing more about the elites of this world, and what kind of solutions they will propose when facing the same problem.

At this time, when Katerina flipped through the content of the file to the suggestion area that recorded other high-level [company] executives, and glanced at it, the girl found that most of the content recorded in the area was basically meaningless, isn't it Persuading her to give up the conscription is to complain to her, and the girl can even read a strong sense of irony from the content behind it.

Obviously, for Katerina's conscription policy, the vast majority of people are currently holding a joke attitude.

In this regard, looking at the nonsense on the document, Katerina couldn't help but slightly frowned, and then accelerated the speed of browsing.

And just when Katerina was about to flip through the last page of the document, the girl who thought she would get nothing suddenly stopped looking at a certain item recorded in the document.

In fact, that piece of content was not a constructive suggestion, but more of a perfunctory one, even slightly malicious.

The main core of this opinion is: when it is difficult to recruit soldiers, it is recommended that Katerina put slaves into the barracks as soldiers.

For this suggestion, Katerina has a very clear understanding, and the person who made the suggestion is simply talking nonsense.

In Katerina’s slave-related literature and art works in her previous life, such a dramatic scene often appeared. The protagonist climbed up and promised to make the slaves free people, and then the slaves who received the promise from the protagonist expressed their willingness with great excitement. Follow the protagonist to declare war on the evil forces.

Such a plot is very refreshing at first glance, but implementing it in the real world, at least in the world Katrina is currently in, is completely unrealistic fantasy!

In the world that Katerina is currently in, although it is still in the feudal era, its productivity has developed to a relatively good level. Most of the rulers in charge of managing the world have vaguely realized that slavery restricts social productivity. and has been corrected.

The slavery system in this world is basically at the end of its extinction. The nobles of most countries no longer regard slaves as the main production subject, but choose free people who are more motivated to produce.

Currently, among the slaves circulating in the slave markets of various countries, it is difficult to see slaves dedicated to labor production. The main components are either captives from hostile countries, or debtors who cannot repay due to a large amount of debt and can only rely on selling their own bodies to repay the slaves. There are those female (male) slaves who exist to satisfy the special desires (such as "sex") of the great figures of various countries.

Obviously, these people cannot be used as soldiers, and Katerina herself is unwilling to accept these slaves as soldiers under her command.

Although Katerina never considered cultivating her army into the red army she knew to fight for the people, she was also unwilling to accept a slave army that had no belief in fighting.

In Katerina's heart, her own army should be the kind of modern army supported by honor, wealth, and the spirit of nationalism, just like the European countries during the industrial revolution in the previous life. This form of army cannot be supported.

The reason why this unrealistic proposal will attract Katerina's attention is mainly because a certain word in the opinion is the source of inspiration in the lit girl's mind......

【slave】

What do you usually think of when you mention slaves?

Others don't know, but the moment Katerina saw the word slave, she immediately remembered the deadly enemy of the Celestial Dynasty in her previous life - the US Emperor.

This human being's most powerful superpower has such a history called the Emancipation of Black Slaves.When it comes to the movement to emancipate black slaves, it has to involve the Civil War, and when it comes to the Civil War, it must be associated with a set of special organizational forms in the American Empire..... Militia. (ps: Before the American Civil War, the proportion of the regular army of the American Empire was far lower than that of the militia. Pay attention to the various pictures about the Civil War recorded by the American Empire. Many soldiers in the paintings are not uniform, obviously not the regular army , it can be judged that at least in the early days of the Civil War, the main components of the fighting between the two sides were mostly militias.)

Currently, Katerina's thinking is focused on the word "militia".

After thinking of the American imperial militia and its birth history, the girl suddenly discovered that the American imperial militia system is very suitable for the current Chrisport.

Although the militias of American imperialism have basically never won a few decent wars from the moment of their birth, they belong to the armed forces of the industrial age after all, and there is no problem at all in bullying the natives in backward areas.

The opponents Katrina is facing now are very similar to those in the early days of American imperialism. They can be regarded as a group of aborigines in the feudal era. Use the militia system to severely clean up various feudal armies.

Moreover, using the militia mechanism to replace the regular army has two advantages. On the one hand, it can reduce the vigilance and hostility of the royal family and other nobles to the large-scale conscription of Chris Port.

On the other hand, the militia is not a full-time professional soldier, but can still be counted as a labor force in the territory. As long as the training time is well grasped, large-scale conscription can be completed without affecting the economy of the territory.

As for the combat effectiveness of the army, Katerina is not worried at all. The current Chris Port already has the ability to mass-produce "advanced weapons". Soldiers do too much training, enough to meet current challenges.

In other words, the matter of imitating the mechanism of the militia of the US imperialists is completely tricky.

At this moment, the more she thought about it, the more reasonable Katerina felt, her eyes lit up, and just as she was about to write something, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and then, a figure quickly walked in step by step.

The person who came was Celia. She didn't hold hot coffee in her hand, and she didn't know what happened. At this time, she looked very serious.

And at the next moment, when Katerina, who was full of doubts, was about to ask, Celia said in a deep voice first,

"Miss, it's an emergency!"

"His Royal Highness Reinhardt came to visit you, and...he is downstairs now!"

Leonhardt!

At this moment, at the moment of hearing this name, Katerina couldn't help but straighten her eyes, her whole body was stiff, and then her face was aggrieved.If in this world, Duke Aldan is the person girls hate the most, then Reinhardt is the second person girls hate.

As for why the Imperial Crown Prince aroused Katerina's disgust, the reason is very simple. In the private communication between the two after the Empire and Chris Port confirmed the partnership, the Imperial Crown Prince showed far more cooperation to the girl herself. Interest in the relationship with the girl, and even secretly expressed the hope to have a better relationship with the girl many times.

Obviously, for Katerina, this is a very fatal thing.

ps: Yesterday’s chapter, because it’s too late to finish writing, I don’t have time to check it, so I can only post it now, and update it as usual today

Chapter 97 94. Reinhardt's Thoughts

Twenty minutes later, on the second-floor terrace of a high-end beverage store in the western business district of Port Chris, Katerina looked at the steaming coffee in front of her, dazed.
