They don't want me to work harder

[Everyone in the National Defense Army is very worried about this, but you are not worried at all...at least you are not worried about anything other than your own body]

[After that, Luvia will come to you secretly every few days, sometimes to discuss business matters and exchange information, sometimes...but no matter what, she will leave a lot of good medicine every time]

hiss……

You are worthy of being the sword of the empire.

The Empire squeezed Connaught, and you "squeeze" me too, right?

Richard couldn't laugh or cry, and once again lamented that he needed to strengthen his body.

But that's something to consider after the simulation is over.

And now, he wants to make the National Protector Army truly a thorn in the side of those villains!

[Half a month later, you compiled the information from all parties, conducted a public trial on the captured White and his accomplices, and pardoned other unsuspecting members of the Redemption Alliance]

[Later, the two major resistance organizations in Connaught successfully merged]

[Relying on foreign aid obtained from various places and the support of the people of Connaught, you continue to implement the established strategy]

[The Protectorate Army continues to grow, expanding to nearly 500 people, and its number and fighting will far exceed that of Jero's henchmen]

[Most of the soldiers and police officers at the bottom are unwilling to fight with you, and they have sent you protection money one after another.Many mayors and mayors appointed by Jero also secretly expressed their goodwill to you and prayed for peace]

[In a sense, the only things Jero can control are the capital and the port]

[Although Jero is addicted to pleasure and making money all day long, he is not unaware of this trend, but the only method he knows how to do is to ask for help from imperial forces such as Standard Fruit and the Dulles family]

[Standard Fruit has sent another batch of weapons, but less than half of these fell into your hands that month]

[As for the mercenaries invited by the Dulles family and the garrison sent by the empire in the name of protection, due to your own strong strength and the secret cooperation of Luvia, they returned without success]

Richard nodded with satisfaction.

This time it can be regarded as a comprehensive advantage.

Now it’s time for something really big!

[At this time, Jero's brother wanted to occupy a seaside mansion, and accidentally discovered and captured members of the National Defense Army who were trading with the owner of the mansion]

[This is rare good news for Jero. He imprisoned people in the Royal City Prison and announced that they would be hanged in public to deter lawless traitors]

Okay, if you feel sleepy, someone will come and give you a pillow.

After thinking about it, Richard decided not to save people directly.

Such a high-profile promotion is obviously a trap.

Being righteous helps others but does not hurt them. Rather than buying someone else's shaken Coke and then getting sprayed in the face, Richard prefers to take the initiative to make instant noodles in a convenience store.

After all, your Wolf family is still very big...

[The day after Jero announced that he wanted to scare you, you led people into the Wolfe family's manor, defeated all the guards, and kidnapped Wolfe's mother, wife and two children]

[At the same time, you also learned where Zoe was under house arrest, and broke in to rescue her]

[The little girl is like Katyusha, she hugs you tightly as soon as you meet her, bursts into tears, and apologizes again and again.You quickly comforted her, saying that the betrayal of the Wolfe family had nothing to do with her, and you would never blame her]

This is the truth.

Richard has long understood that many nobles in Connaught have close ties with the empire. If the situation goes wrong, they will become the leading party. Even Wolfe, who is closely related to the royal family, will do the same.

After all, Zoe was too young, so it was impossible for her to withstand the pressure from her family after he disappeared.

Rather, Richard was touched by the fact that Zoe could firmly support him to the point of being put under house arrest in the name of hysteria.

[After Zoe's mood stabilizes, you have someone take her back to the base and take good care of her.Then you turned around, collected most of the property in the manor, and returned home with a full load]

[You wrote several identical letters and asked your men to send them to Jero]

[The next morning, Jero saw the same letter in his bathroom, on the breakfast table, and on the office table. It said that you would exchange four hostages for one of his, and he fell into great anger and fear. 】

[He clearly realized that it would be easy for you to take his life, so that night, he let your man go in despair]

[You kept your promise and returned the other Wolfes except Zoe]

[But just when Jero was worried about these things, you asked Katyusha to secretly lead the team and sneak into the Connaught Palace]

[They brought your father, King Henry II of Connaught, back to the headquarters of the Protectorate Army. After examination, they found that he was under a sleeping spell and was very weak, but not dead.]

At this point, all worries are gone.

Richard won the initial victory in the battle to recapture his motherland.

He was convinced that as long as he revealed his identity now, he could drive away the caged bird and take charge of Connacht again.

...To be honest, his identity is almost exposed now. After all, Alice from Fandan has made a public appearance, and there have been rumors in the streets of Connaught that he is back, which makes the situation change drastically.

But the problem is that even if he does this, it will only return everything to four years ago. It will be difficult for him to get back the benefits that have been embezzled by the Empire and Standard Fruit.

He needs to wait for an opportunity...

[Luvia sent you news that the emperor of the empire is dead. She helped the eldest prince return to the north in advance to confront the second prince in the south. Civil war is likely to break out within a few months]

Oh open!

Said wife Cao Cao has arrived!

[You led the National Guard Army to the gate of the capital that day, summoned Dahei, stood on the back of the black dragon, and officially announced your return]

[The whole city burst into deafening cheers]

Chapter 138 The king comes to see the king

[Today is destined to be a day that all Connaught people will never forget]

【"Prince Richard is back!"】

[Surrounded by your people, you returned to the palace, easily arrested Jero and his accomplices, and took back all power in the country]

[Subsequently, you announced the abolition of all unequal treaties signed between Connaught and the Empire from decades ago to the present, and organized the army to forcibly take back the assets of Standard Fruit and other companies to national ownership]

[You started a trial against the traitors of the past four years. Everyone thought you would execute them all, but you maintained great restraint and tolerance, only punishing the first culprits, and the rest were governed by the law]

[You have appeased all the forces in the country and completely secured your position as the "King" of Connaught]

[To the north, the imperial people fiercely condemned you, claiming that you were a robber and executioner, causing a massacre, and preaching that they would send troops south to eradicate your evil forces...]

It doesn't matter, you can scold them all you like, who knows who is the robber.

Richard was calm about this.

He was convinced that the empire, which was now on the verge of civil war, would not have the power to trouble him.

On the contrary, he still wants to cause trouble for the empire.

[At the end of the month, Luvia found you openly and honestly]

[As the civil war approaches, she has basically broken with the second prince’s faction in the empire, and she no longer hides and coaxes her]

[At the same time, Veronica and Luvia also came to your palace]

[Although it took four years, Veronica has now become a maritime overlord.Luvia assassinated her uncle not long ago, reached a compromise with several other factions in the country, and reluctantly ascended the throne]

Well, as expected of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Captain, this can turn the situation around!

Although their respective powers are weaker than at their peak in previous simulations, they are still better than nothing.

[They came to you together to discuss face to face how to deal with the civil war in the empire]

Hmm, guessed it.

But the three of you come together...

Richard had some doubts about the strength of his palace.

[Seemingly aware of your embarrassment, Alice asked you softly: "Did we come at the wrong time?"]

No, no, no, you came at the right time!

Richard quickly asked himself in the simulation to put on a serious face and seriously deny it.

All nonsense aside, seriously speaking, the civil war is indeed an opportunity they must seize.

According to past simulation experience, once the civil war ends with the victory of the second prince, it will immediately be a scenario for the empire to spread military force all over the world.

By then, it is really a question whether the weakened versions of Fandan, Divine Grace Island and Connaught can withstand it.

So they should make plans and act in unison.

[At the beginning of the discussion, Veronica was the first to suggest that everyone should gather forces now to intervene in the empire’s civil war]

Gee, very straightforward and very pirate.

But Richard had his doubts.

From a rational point of view, the empire is not so corrupt that it will destroy the people's hearts at the first touch, but he and his friends are now weakened versions. It is difficult to say the success rate of using such power to interfere in other people's civil wars.

Originally, the conservative forces in the empire were weak, and the eldest prince's level was poor. If their joining made the ordinary people of the empire share the same hatred and support the second prince's side, wouldn't it be like stealing the chicken but losing the rice?

What's more, no matter how easy-talking the conservatives are, they are still a group of arrogant imperialists and may not be willing to accept help from foreigners.

Richard remembered the history of Russia and Turkey in their previous lives and then fought back against their enemies after being interfered by foreign powers, and did not agree with Veronica's plan.

Of course, without directly sending troops, it is still necessary to assist the conservatives with supplies.

[Your discussions on the first day didn’t make much progress]

[At night, when everyone was preparing to rest, Veronica asked you in front of the other two women if you wanted to go out to enjoy the moon tonight, which attracted Alice and Luvia's eyes...]

Richard had a premonition that he would have a sleepless night today.

No sleep, no sleep, unity is the most important thing now!

So you guys, don’t quarrel over me!

[For world peace, you have paid a lot tonight...]

[The next day, you learned the latest news. The two forces of the empire completely broke apart and war broke out]

[In order to show his determination, the second prince came to the palace in the Hamburg Fortress in the north and commanded the army to attack his own brother]

[In the same month, Queen Sophia of Via announced that the eldest prince was the legitimate one and would send troops to participate in the imperial civil war]

Wait.
