Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

Even if the other party is the current leader, no one can match the reputation and voice of the pioneer who has overcome all obstacles.

“It is the legal and legitimate right of every Victorian noble to act against me in order to protect their own interests. I will of course support them in doing so and welcome every Victorian noble to stick to the end... Respect everyone Personal destiny and choice, this is also the thought I always adhere to."

As the Earl of Cambridge said this, Ozwald showed a slight smile on his face.

But the moment the two sides looked at each other, the huge sense of oppression was enough to frighten the well-informed Earl of Kangqiao. A few drops of sweat could not help but seep out from his forehead, and then fell down on his temples.

He naturally understands the meaning of this dragon's words and understands what he is hiding or not hiding. He intends to reconquer this land that his ancestors kept humiliated and destroy all the glory established by Aslan; and then through The righteousness of the change between the old and the new era deprived Victoria's aristocrats of the ruling power passed down through the bloodline that they had enjoyed for hundreds of years.

If someone else had said these words...or even if he hadn't said them, he just had this intention; the Earl of Cambridge would have only upheld his identity as an educator as the principal of the University of Cambridge and expressed his gratitude to this "innocent" and "cute" The child who is "unacquainted with worldly affairs" cast his eyes with kindness and approval, quietly admiring the "childlike" appearance.

But the dragon in front of him had already proven his strength.

More than a month ago, he announced his arrival to Sakaz, who occupied Londinium, and to all the powerful people in Victoria in such a massive way.

——It is true that even the power of the Ten Kings of Sakaz cannot be compared with the power representing an entire country. He can only destroy an army group alone, which can determine the outcome of the battle, but it cannot change the outcome. The direction of the war.

But if that person is Drak, who can defeat even the Lords of the Royal Court with overwhelming force, can deal with several Lords of the Royal Court at the same time without falling behind, and is almost a god-like monster, then the situation will be completely different.

Even if the newspaper group gathered together to keep warm, except for a few people such as Wellington, no one could guarantee that they would survive the sea of ​​​​fire that was like a blazing sun falling to the ground from the red dragon.

After all, leading an army to attack Sakaz can use the banner of life and death to save Victoria and arouse the determination of his troops to resist the invaders even if they are willing to die; but when the opponent is a bloodline like Ozwald Artolis How should a pure king of the Red Dragon Clan ensure morale?Could it be that the dragon and the soldiers came here to fight with us in order to deprive the nobles of their hereditary rights?

It doesn't matter if you hold legal principles alone. Legal principles that lack the support of strength are just puppets that can be manipulated by others.

Only strength is not worth mentioning; joining forces in the name of righteousness can easily defeat them.

But possessing both the highest legal principles and absolute force, such a red dragon is truly invincible within Victoria.

After all, to put it bluntly, what the hereditary nobles rely on is also the power brought by the development and conversion of legal principles, isn't it?

Victoria seeks a voice for change: 10 Can it be done elsewhere?

It seems like this guy really doesn’t have to be afraid of Victoria’s nobles joining forces, right?It's not even certain that the whole Victorian aristocracy united in order to retain power, but it gave him a better excuse...for example, to rebel or something.

When he thought of this, Earl of Cambridge's mood became extremely complicated when he looked at the red dragon, and he didn't know how to refute.

After all, Oswald had both the truth and the fists.

So in the end, Lao Felin could only sigh with a wry smile and accept the reality; and based all the subsequent inquiries on the basis that Ozwald had completed the recovery of power and successfully conquered Victoria.

"Since you just mentioned Cromwell and hold the same idea as him of reclaiming the hereditary power of the old aristocracy, then I boldly think that you and he have similar ideological similarities, no problem. Oh. Your Majesty Oswald." Seeing that Ozwald did not refute this, which seemed to be acquiescence, the Earl of Cambridge continued: "How do you plan to deal with it? After the aristocratic managers are eliminated, they will be replaced by professional personnel, but they lack the traditional skills. Honor, responsibility, and the much smaller risk of making mistakes, what about the various problems that may arise for professional officials?”

"The first is stricter supervision; but this aspect involves Britain's top secrets, so I won't explain it. Is that okay, Earl?"

"Of course, Your Majesty Ozwald. I will suppress my curiosity, please continue -"

"Secondly, I will choose to retain their management and decision-making rights, and separate this part of the executive power from the functions of these professional officials; in a sense, it will be far more restricted than the old aristocrats, and there will be no selfish desires. The other part goes to do the final execution.”

So said Ozwald.

"Today's mechanical intelligence technology has become very advanced. Many companies will deploy anthropomorphic intelligent machines as assistants to their employees. I plan to utilize and expand this in more detail."

Because it is different from human beings who regard various tangible or intangible things such as money, fame and fortune, honor and disgrace as gains and losses, and make mistakes in greed; AI that is highly intelligent but not intelligent and open-minded also has abilities that are not inferior to ordinary people. Rich emotions, but after all, as machines and electronics, they do not have these worldly desires, not to mention that all their actions ultimately need to be subject to underlying logic and instructions - this is compared to any so-called habits and self-esteem. , moral values ​​are more solid and inescapable framework.

The reason why we must choose AI instead of purely mechanical calculations is because with the help of AI, we can understand some emotions and know the differences between strengths and weaknesses, which will make them have a slight "elasticity" in the calculation process and not be too cold.

In this way, with these machines as the final executors, and after rational and reasonable calculations and controlling the allocation of resources in each link, a relatively sufficient level of fairness can be achieved; thus eliminating to a large extent the problems caused by the selfish desires of people. Withholding or deflection behavior.

After all, it is still the same sentence. The corrupt and self-interested actions of the executor can only appear during the private execution process. No matter what, there must be a reason that can be disguised.And it is impossible to start it during the application stage of the plan - if it really develops to that point, then to be honest, it is no longer the problem of the officials.

Of course, there is no such thing as perfection.Even a reasonable distribution calculated by machinery does not mean it is absolute. There are still some unexpected situations that are limited to human uncertainty. For example, "One day I ate a few more bowls of rice on a whim, and then it led to "I will have to eat less bowls of rice in the next few days"; however, this kind of problem is caused by people who have no plan at all due to their own extravagance and waste. In fact, it can no longer be said to be a problem assigned by AI, and there is no discussion. Value and processing necessary.

"In addition, this split structural model can actually be extended to the country's top ruler."

Ozwald knew that he was not the kind of philosopher king who could never make mistakes. He also needed help from more professional people who were good at this part of the work; besides, given his personality, he was actually not suitable to stay there all the time. position as an arbitrary and authoritarian ruler.

Just like the red dragon had talked to Metatron or that person many years ago, he didn't do it because he wanted to become an emperor or a king, but just because he really couldn't let go of the little snow monster and his friends. I couldn't help but watch them struggle in hard times without doing anything to help, so I decided to carry the banner in line with the principle of those who can do more work.

Fortunately, he has already completed this part of the planning.

The king who was once kind but ultimately disappointed showed ruthless power in indifference;

A leader whose soul was once filled with hatred and was disillusioned, but after being redeemed, he fights with hope and reason.

The proposals of the two will be buffered from each other's disputes, so that no matter which side's answer is too pure; in this way, the final decision will be made by the throne at the top of the pyramid.

After all, triangles are the most stable shapes in nature, right?

"....But this is the first step in my plan."

When Britain develops further and becomes stable, every citizen who comes here will be able to find equal tranquility and feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.What comes next is a more important step.

[Respect and love will make people follow them willingly, no matter where they go]

[And fear can give people who are controlled by desire a clear boundary, so that they know what is wrong]

So need will become something more restrictive and metaphysical. .

Become, the first and last emperor of Britain, forever hanging high over every citizen, every consul, every strong man who thinks of himself as powerful... the Sword of Damocles hanging high over this country.

“Anyway, that’s pretty much the general direction and goal.”

Half an hour after that, I had a chat with the Earl of Cambridge about why I must take coercive measures against Britain to ensure that strong men who commit crimes must receive the same fate as ordinary people, so as to ensure legal equality. , Ozwald took a small sip of the already cold black tea at his hand, and moistened his throat.

"Although theoretically there is a lot to talk about, such as foreign trade, people's welfare, etc., these are things that need to be adjusted according to the actual situation and national conditions. The current discussion can only be regarded as paper talks, which is meaningless."

And if there is one thing that Ozwald can definitely guarantee, it would probably be to provide a house to every adult citizen who has officially obtained a British household registration.

Although it is based on the one modeled after the Khrushchev Building, the space is not very big. At most, considering your status as a couple or family, you can put as many people as possible on the left, right, opposite, or above... But at least as long as you are me Adult citizens will live with you, right?

Could someone else (the emperor) elsewhere do it?

Victoria seeks a voice for change: 11 talks, but not the end.

In short, to summarize, Ozwald can apply a few words of a well-known earth emperor regarding his position in the future political structure of Britain.

"Maybe some people don't recognize me.But when the vast majority of people in the world trust me and think that I am the most noble hero and the greatest emperor, how can I be wrong? No.Even if I have thoughts that are incompatible with the mainstream values ​​​​of the entire world, as long as I am ignorant of those fools who are still bound by gravity and have never seen the vastness of the starry sea, and others dare not rebel and are afraid of me, what else can I do wrong? ?Even if it is wrong, it will only be the fault of the world, the fault of fools, and the fault of the weak.Because without my free soul and great power, they would still only live in this land of endless war and pain.

Therefore, all Britons who do not want to die or suffer pain must love me, be loyal to me, respect me, and worship me! Appreciate me as a champion knight, and swear to the death for the Lord of Britain, Lord Drak, my high Emperor Talon, I, I, I—I am the ultimate Bahamut! !》

"In this case, from today onwards, the war to wipe out the old-era worms in Victoria and unify the empire will be called "pest eradication", and then, considering that Londinium has the reputation of 'the city where the sun never sets', we will defeat those who are entrenched there. Because the tribe of Tresis can drive away the disaster clouds in the sky and let everyone see the sun again (although it is an illusion), it can be called "shooting the sun"!"

While the Red Dragon was sighing in his heart that the Five Studies and the like were indeed historical treasures that must be appreciated by human civilization, the Earl of Cambridge had probably finished digesting the information he heard tonight, and based on his own knowledge and understanding Zhi made a certain degree of analysis and prediction.

"I have to admit, Your Majesty Ozwald; even if it is just the trivial details discussed with you now, if it can be successfully implemented, it will already lead to a very good prospect; especially when you have been advocating When looking at ori disease rationally and treating infected people equally, this is a "rebellious and unethical" strategy... Even an old man like me would inevitably want to see a scene where everyone can show a calm and peaceful expression. arrival, thus giving rise to more or less anticipation.”

The Earl of Cambridge smiled and looked at Red Dragon, who was drinking tea and eating biscuits; with that happy look, it seemed that he was satisfied with most of what he discussed with Red Dragon this time.

"Although you and your descendants can no longer have the power to decide the direction of a mobile city like today?" Ozwald raised his eyebrows and asked.

"But in the same way, in Britain after the division of power and glory, my descendants will not have to worry about the consequences of being guillotined by a mob with a grudge because of a momentary failure and mistake."

The Earl of Cambridge stroked his beard with his hand and did not care too much about the fact that Red Dragon said that his power would be weakened.

For the same half-glass of water, a pessimist will lament that only half is left, while a positive optimist will be delighted that half is left.

Obviously, the Earl of Cambridge, who has experienced many big and small events since the era of the Battle of the Four Emperors, belongs to the latter.

"Besides, if the children still want power, they can work hard to become the new city lord or mayor in the future; especially Alex, with the experience I have gained from training over the years, he can always Let him have a higher priority among the candidates at that time, don't you? Your Majesty Ozwald."

"Indeed, as you said, Earl, Mr. Alex's ability and experience are enough for him to gain a firm foothold in Britain. At least it is more than enough to connect with the first ruler of Cambridge in the new generation."

Ozwald nodded in agreement.

After hearing the hidden meaning in his words, the Earl of Cambridge smiled even more happily, showing a sense of relief after "the big stone that had been hanging high in his heart was finally put down", which made him look relaxed. A lot.

After all, as an old father, this is all he thinks about when he is in troubled times.

After taking a sip of tea and moistening the thirsty mouth of the old man due to insufficient saliva secretion, the Earl of Cambridge asked the red dragon in front of him: "Does the city-state identification code of Cambridge need to be adjusted to Britain? Your Majesty Ozward. From If we start adjusting now, it is expected to be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

"Well, I will tell you the location and identification code of Britain."

"Okay, Your Majesty; there is also a form here that you need to review."

After Ozwald reported the coordinates and identification code, the Earl of Cambridge called his eldest son who was waiting in the next room and ordered him to go to the core city to order the engineers to handle the matter now. ,

Afterwards, he stood up again under the gaze of Red Dragon, found a densely written document from the desk drawer, and handed it to Red Dragon.

It is worth mentioning that the sharp-eyed Ozwald saw that there were several documents in the drawer that were very similar to the one the Earl took out, except that there were fewer words written on them.

The red dragon guessed that it was a phased list of how much assistance the Earl of Cambridge would provide in the war with Britain and Tresisi, which he had preset in advance for the satisfactory process of discussing the results before he came.This behavior, which he didn't know whether to be prepared for a rainy day or to save trouble, made Ozwald couldn't help but laugh and call the earl an old fox in his heart.

However, Ozwald had only read a third of the document when he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It's not that the Earl of Cambridge provided too little help, but too much!

Because judging from the resource information given by the Earl of Cambridge, the material and personnel composition of the support troops provided by Cambridge to Britain in the subsequent war almost reached the size of an entire group army!

In addition, considering that not all mobile cities have the special characteristics of nanomachines like Britain, when sending troops to attack, they also need to stay behind to prevent invasion, so even if it is only considered as the maximum 50.00%.That also means that the earl has nearly two army-level troops armed - even Ursus, which has become militaristic under the influence of the late Emperor Vladimir, is only in a super large mobile city with important heavy industrial functions. Only one arm of the Third Army was stationed near Chernobog.

Although Cambridge is a long-standing city like Londinium that has existed since the founding of the country, considering that it is located close to the center of the empire like Londinium, there is no need to worry about the danger of friction and exchanges with other countries. The city...should not have such a large number of troops.This is really an exaggeration.

But, this is the fact.And there must be a reason for existence.

Analyzing the resources of the academic city Cambridge, even if it started preparations when Tresis was invited to Londinium many years ago until today; this is certainly in the past in terms of time, but it is also missing the most crucial thing, well ..driving force.The Earl of Cambridge, who was not a border Earl and did not hold regular military authority, could not train such a large force, let alone do it in a very secretive manner.

All this can only show that there are people with higher power secretly supporting the Earl of Cambridge; although the current group of troops are also taking orders from the Earl of Cambridge, they are essentially that person who has come to Londinium for the inevitable event. prepared for disaster.

"Maybe even for the part after that..."

"I guess you should have figured it out, Your Majesty Ozwald."

Looking at the red dragon who put the knuckles of his index fingers against his lips, frowning and thinking silently while holding the document, the Earl of Cambridge showed a smile on his face: "The situation is basically what you are thinking at the moment, and I am just giving my own It’s all in your hands.”

So this army group is directly affiliated with the Earl of Cambridge?

But there are still some problems.

"Such a large-scale personnel transfer, coupled with the change of the mobile city's waterway, cannot be hidden from that person."

"So, this is also his tacit approval; His Majesty Ozwald."

With that smile still on his lips, the Earl of Cambridge slowly spoke to Red Dragon, whose brows were becoming more and more frowning, and said: "Including today's meeting, and the reason why I was approved to be so abrupt on the front line, the fundamental reason is that Sexual reasons are all the result of permission.

Although from my personal point of view, I really agree with your discussion; but in essence, this Cambridge is just to set up an online stage with you, nothing more. "

"So, who wants to see me?"

"It's Lord William, Your Majesty."

Victoria seeks voice for change: 12 deep demands

William?

Which William?

Where did William come from?

When he first heard this name coming out of the mouth of the Earl of Cambridge, Ozwald was still a little stunned. After all, this name was so common in Victoria that it was possible to pick out three or five of them out of a hundred people.

But soon he reacted.

There is only one person in all of Terra who can add the honorific suffix to the Earl of Cambridge after the ordinary William.

William Normandy.

That is to say——

"The Duke of Normandy...?"

Ozwald chewed on the name of this great man who only eight people could be equal to him. He could truly be said to be one person below Victoria and above ten thousand people.

He really didn't expect that the supporter standing behind the Earl of Cambridge was this Duke, and he also hoped to meet him, discuss certain things, and then join hands or something.

You must know that before the end of the adventure in Londinium, when he was discussing Sarkaz insects with the Special Committee and Mr. Date, he talked about the Duke of Normandy who had a profound grudge against the red dragon and the lion, and said it jokingly. Anyone who dares to join forces with the Duke of Londinium to fight against the enemy must be careful of the lessons learned from the past.

Now it should be said that what happens for a reason must have an effect. If you say bad things about people behind their backs, you will be approached to give them some warmth!

But then again, if we have to talk about cause and effect, then considering that Alex, who represented the will of the Earl of Cambridge when he was still in Casimir last year, found himself and issued an invitation... If that was William Normandy The matchmaking that is being planned is actually supposed to be the one who came first, right?

"So, is Miss Charlotte, a Tripolitan with blond hair, cornflower eyes, and red feathers on her temples, actually the daughter of the Duke of Normandy?" After thinking about it, I recalled that Alex came to pick her up. Faced with Charlotte's strange reaction, Ozwald finally had an answer at this moment and asked the Earl of Cambridge for confirmation: "Is her real name Constance? Or Matilda?"

"She is Lord William's youngest child, Matilda; Your Majesty."

Hearing Ozward's words about Charlotte, the Earl of Cambridge showed a bit of surprise in his eyes, as if he had never thought that the Red Dragon had actually been connected with the daughter of the Duke of Normandy during this period - he just didn't know about her. Have you revealed the plan and goal that your father is planning to join forces with Drac, Ozwald?

But no matter what, the Earl of Cambridge gave the Red Dragon a brief summary of the relevant information involving the Duke's daughter.

Generally speaking, the Earl of Cambridge and the Duke of Normandy have a very close relationship in private, and this is why Matilda, the youngest daughter, can go to school here. It represents the attitude of the Duke himself.

However, because Cambridge has always been at the forefront of Victoria's ideological trends, she was immersed in a large number and variety of ideological factions. She became a radical republican and had certain ideological differences with her father, the Duke of Normandy, and was not very popular. , and because her father is a Grand Duke, there are always people trying to get in touch with her, which annoys Matilda and makes her relationship with her biological father even worse, thus creating the current situation where she only uses the nickname Charlotte when reporting her name... ..It’s really a very difficult situation.
